From tho Philadelphia Age.
Every taouditful man must be conscious
of a eenseof despondency and, as it were,
weariness it the slow progress of social re
conciliation. It would be absurd to be im
patient because the processes of reconstruc
tion arc dilatory. They are necessarily
complicated and require nice adjustment A
broken locomotive can not be put on the
track and run in a moment, even when all
around are ready to work " with a will" to
put it to rights. But it is the absence of
this "will" that makes us heart sick. We
see no bicts of it. and in thelecislative halls.
where only practical measures can bo initia
ted, less than anywhere else. If the spirit
wnicn actuates some of thcKcpublican lead
ers be carried out, it really seems as if the
poor South was not to be allowed to sleep in
its bloody grave. Modern history has hard
ly a parallel to this perseverauceof liato, and
we arc sure that General Butler, in his
historical research for precedents of ven
geance, found few like this. When tiie
day of pacification dawned in England af
ter a rebellion of nearly twenty years, its
1 1 1 11..J -C ! 1

Prelates and Poets on the Bcaflbld, and thou
sands of brave men on fields of battle.
Charles II., through his Chancellor, beggea
Parliament to forget revenge, and try and
restore " the old good nature and the old
good humor." It was not very long after
145, that the createst of Encland s Hano
verian statesmen practically reconciled the
ancient antagonists by enlisting, unpar
doned and unrepentant Highlanders in the
English army. History is full of these in
stances of politic gentleness, and in all cases
where, on the termination of revolt or
civil war, a different and harsher course
was pursued and bloody penalties exacted,
the judgment of history is an invariable
one that such severity, such vengeance was
a liuice mistake. Why is it different with
us?
This is a question which admits of many
answers some derogatory to our Kor hu
manity, and some which attribute this sad
result to motives of a higher order. A con
temporary writer sncakimr of the crusade of
theuermans against Italy in thclGth century,
uses thislanguages, which, changing "Eomc"
to the "South," may be applicable now. " If
we would understand," says he, " this fury
of the conquerors in whose minds a certain
set of ideas at that time prevailed, wc must
recollect how Ilomo has been preached and
written upon in the North. It was repre
sented as a vast abyss of sin the men as
villains from the lowest to the Inchest the
business of all was deceit, theft and murder.
r rom Itomc every evil nad sprung. And
thus, while satiating themselves with blood
and rapine, they believed a good work was
being done for the welfare of Christendom,
and the avenging of the North, 'ercr, hotc
era this ice know docs the nature of man ex
hibit itself more beastlike than when it becomes
furious for the sake of ideas of the highest char
acter." llm is tiie only theory ot good mo
tive lor what wc see around us that we can
frame. But we fear indeed, we know that
lower impulses and harsher tempers arc at
work to prevent peace, and among them we
mm. one in individual vindiciivcncss, opera
ting on an inflamed public sentiment, which
through some strange anomaly has become
suddenly submissive to individual control.
It any one had foretold, a few years aco,
that American legislative policy if not ad
ministrative action, would be absolutely con
trolled by one or two men of very perverse
intellect and unpopular deportment, no one
would have believed it. Jackson, and (Jlay.
and Calhoun, and in a less degree, AVcbsicr
used to have, in the natural, healthy state of
the public mind, great personal mlltiencc
and were followed bv bodies of men. Ihev
bent the popular judgment. They did not
twist it as they pleased whereas, now, one
or two men, the public temper being heated
to a fit degree, hammer and bend and twist
it as they please, btrange and hideous as it
is, it now seems that Mr. Stevens and
Mr. Sumner are masters of mischief, and
control the government. Start not at this,
gentle reader! Itcvolt not at it, for it is the
actual truth, and, what is worse, the spirit of
the jNorth is willingly submissive to this
guidance. There is nothing these men say,
or demand, or do, that the fanatics of the
North, or at least of a large part of the North,
do not agree to. Has any one heard dissent?
We certainly have not
tnd who are these our rulers ? ho are
these Duumvirs of mischief? Let us try
and answer the question with fairness, and,
as far as may be, without asperity. In what
do they resemble and in what differ from
each other? There is a word in the Eng
lish language which, as applied to tree, or
bush, or fruit, means " tasting of the soil,"
and this sort of flavor is clearly discernible
here. They arc both New England men
one from the flintv mountains of Vermont,
the other from the originally barren but
well-cultivated flats of Massachusetts. This
accounts for the original twist common to
both. But their careers had an early diver
gence, one remaining steadily at home, well
nursed, and petted, and brought to blossom
early under Boston glass while the othor, a
far more robust and vigorous being, aftar
a sort ot nominal lite, sought a milder
climate, and settled in a corner of Penn
sylvania well suited to the whims and
fantasies of a secluded and active intelli
gence. JNow, we incline to think tins
exodus from New England did some good,
and that, in this latter instance, the migra
tory is far better than the stationary Yankee.
Here, in the seclusion of Gettysburg, Mr.
Thaddeus Stevens not only gained his pro
fessional position, which is quite a high one,
but. cultivated, with singular assiduity, the
crotchets which, in succession, have signal
ized his career: They began mildly with
ultra-Temperance and anti-Masonry, but
those comparatively gentle nags were driven
with whip and spur ; and those who recol
lect Mr. Stevens in his day of prime, hurl
ing fierce anathemas at poor lrec Masons
and t-ivcrnkeepers, know that wonted fires
now animate his ashes. These fanticisms
ran their course, and Mr. Stevens accommo
dated himself to "Know Nothingism," and
the guardianship of Lancaster county stills
with wonderful aptitude. Wc pass by his
legislative career at Harrisburg, which, till
the collapse of 1838, was the same despotic
and overbearing one it now is. He was Straf
ford over again, very "thorough," and brook
ed no master near his throne. And here, at
at the first heaving of the great anti-slavery
surge, ono which he was destined to ride, wc
leave him.
All this time while our fellow-citizen, as
we arc compelled to call him, was fighting
his hard battle of life, and making fanati
cism a sort of secretion, Mr. Charles Sumner
was being dandled in the lap of Boston
and yet not exactly so, for every one who
knows what Boton once was before Horace
Mann's statute stood before the State House,
and Edward Everett had become a, literally,
fribble, knows too there was an antagonism
to pretenders like Sumner which was very
formidable. But he was not easily daunted.
He read, and he wrote, and he flattered.
He reported Judge Story, and he annotated
reports with Judge Story's assistance, ne
was at hand to applaud and justify the gross
imposture of thcPrigg case, and he early
laid down ins plan ol lite as an anti-slavery
politician. Fortune favored him ; Massa
chusetts got tired of her gentleman and
great man Webster was denounced and
diet!, Choatc was thrust aside, and Win
throjt superseded, and Charles Sumner, by a
coalition which, to this hour, makes the
cheek of a New England democrat tingle,
becomes a senator, and carried his pack of
common place books and written abolition
speeches to Washington. Here, too, his
luck did not forsake him. for Brooks earned
him into martyrdom and a re-election, and
to the evil elements which tiie mere process
of intellect, such as his is, were stirring up,
was added that of personal hatred of the
South.
And here wc come back to points of re
semblance. It is our fixed conviction that a
deep personal detestation of Southern men
at this moment actuates these kindred and
controlling spirits. But it is of a very dif
ferent kind. Sumner's is more concrete than
Stevens', in the same degree that being beaten
is more irritating than having one's furnace
burned. Mr. Stevens is a far more manly
hater. He never talks of his wrorg , how
ever he may feci them. He don't whins
over his forge. He would not exhibit his
bloody vestments at an evening party. Still,
though in different degrees, the nate is there,
and it is that hatred of these two men which,
falling in sympathy with kindred ill-will
outside gves them their influence in mU
chief. Never, it should be borne in mind,
could pciscaal Tindictivencss bo grafted on
a more congenial stem than anti-slavery
fanaticism. Its chief ingredient is ferocity,
aud persecution of individuals is a method
of justice for the wrongs they have done.
And how long is this to last? How long
is the legislation of the country to be thus
directed and controlled by two men ? The
President of the United Suites, elected by
we same party wiucn these individuals pro
pose to represent, is believed to favor re
conciliation on fair and honorable terms.
He has said emphatically ho wished the
South back with its manhood unimpaired.
A large body of the' Republicans in Con
gress, would, if they dared, break this gall
ing yoke, and yet 6uch is the force of in
dividual will and such the demoralization
and infirmity of all around, that the course
of ruin runs on, and reconciliation is post
poned as it it were a curse instead of a
blessing.

Atrocious Conduct of Foun Colored

ot them held pistols to the heads of Air.

KIOT ON I1EAI.E STItET.
Collision Between Policemen, Citizens
nnl Nejrro Soldiers Two Negroes
Itnclly Wounded.
From tho Memphis Bulletin. J
A not winch at one time threatened to
end in very serious and fatal consequences,
occurred just after dark last evening between
some negro soldiers and white citizens, on
Ueale street in the vicinity of tho market
nousc.
From the meagre information our report
ers were enabled to gather at the scene of
the disturbance, it would appear that a ne
gro soldier was caught in the act of stealing
some meat from stand No. 50, South market.
and Avas ordered by the butcher, Mr. La-
croix, to return it. with which very proper
demand the rascal failed to comply, denying
that he had any meat in his possession ex
cept that which he had bought and paid for.
The butch'.r then picked up a meat knife, it
is asserted, and again demanded the return
of the meat, at the same time making and
uuvaucc luu.iru me negro as ii 10 cut mm.
At this juncture a gentleman interposed
anu told the butcher that it would be pru
dent on lus part to keen quiet, as there were
a number of negro soldiers in the immediate
vicinity, and they would be sure to retaliate
if any violence were ofl'ered to their com
rade. I he advice was heeded, and the
butcher dropped his knife, but had nosooner
done so than Mr. James Ryan, market mas
ter, stepped up, and with the butt ot ins re
volver, dealt the negro a powerful blow,
which inflicted a severe contusion on the tem
ples, and felled the negro to the ground, in or
next te an insensible condition.
A crowd soon gathered a crowd of men,
women and children, whites and blacks of
high and low degree, and considerable ex
citement ensued, during which the negro so
far recovered the effects of the blow as to be
enabled to stand on his feet, whereupon he
M-as hustled away by the market master,
going through Beale street towards Main,
followed by a heterogenous crowd in which
the African clement largely predominated.
On reaching the grocery store of Alder
man Bechtel, on Beale street, near Second,
Mr. Ryan stopped and took the negro inside,
either for the purpose of having the wound
dressed or because his prisoner was unable
to go any further.
In the meantime information of the ar
rest of their companion had been communi
cated to some negro soldiers, and a body of
them, variously estimated to number lrom
thirtv to a hundred, all rirmral with mnskpt-
and bayonets, started in pursuit of the mar
ket master and his pnsoncr. Arriving at
.Mr. Kechtel s store, several of them attempt
ed to enter, but were ordered to keep back
by Mr. Kyan and several policemen and cit
izens who were with him. They persisted.
however, and Mr. Ryan, fearing violence at
their hands, discharged his revolver amorn?
them, the shot taking effect in the head of
one of the number, inflicting a severe but I
not dangerous wound. He then rushed into
the street, and the negroes, having recovered
their senses, rushed after him, discharging a
dozen or twenty shots, all of which, eingu
lar to relate, proved harmless, so far as per
sonal injury is concerned, notwithstanding
that the street was full of people.
Tho darkness favored Mr. Ryan. He
ran diagonally across Beal street, in the di
rection of the bayou bridge, and became
lost to the sight of his pursuers. Several
citizens who were among the spectators,
lcaring violence, sought satety in tho gro
cery store of Mr. Hollywood, near bt. Mar
tin street, telling the proprietor to close up
his doors at once, as a formidable riot was in
progress without, and cither himself or his
property might be injured, Hr. Holly-
wood hastened to obey, and (his visitors
having taken flight through the rear door)
hid no sooner got his doors closed and
locked, than the infuriated mob, who had
seen the persons enter the store, came up
and began to hammer away at the outside.
breaking in the panels of tho door and
lantity of window glass. Moved by
reats of violence, Mr. Hollywood threw
open his doors, and the mob poured in, de
manding the whereabouts of the market
master, and threatening to burn the house
if his place of concealment were not dis
closed. Mr. Hollywood being unable to
give the desired information, was then or
dered to produce a light, taking which sev
eral of the negroes descended to the cellar
in search of the fugitive, but soon returned,
satisfied that the market master was not on
the -premises. The mob then returned to
the store of Alderman Bechtel, which they
entered, and while some devoted themselves
to tiie care of their wounded companions.
others began to plunder, and carried away a
quantity ot provisions.
It was then suggested to burn the market
master's house, and the crowd moved up
Beale street, hooting and brandishing their
arms. At this moment intelligence of the
disturbance was conveyed to the police sta-
inn nnrl fiftrwin i r (iTMirtr tnintiTM Tn(ri
Capt. Grey, of the night police, with a squad
of policemen, arrived at the scene, but the
excitement had almost entirely subsided.
and soon after perfect order was restored,
the negroes having retired not, however,
without first threatening the officers of the
law, in case they made any hostile demon
stration. JSo arrests were made.
The foregoing arc the facts as far as could
be gleaned, and are believed to be nearly if
not quite correct W hen the disturbance be
gan people in the neighborhood closing
their houses and stores, immediately sought
shelter from the danger, and consequently
arc not fully jxistcd in the particulars.
I ins occurrence has demonstrated the
alarming fact that the citizens of 3IemphLs,
unprotected as they arc, arc in imminent
danger of suffering violence and death at the
hands of negroes, incited by the fanatical
teachings of radicals to outbreaks of the
most fearful character. There are no white
troops here, and the police force is barely
sufficient to take care of themselves, to say
nothing of a city with a population of at
least 20,000 inhabitant-'. It is hoped that
the lesson will not be lost upon the powers
that be.
A Break trom Iryino Block. At a
late hour on Friday night, thirteen colored
soldiers and civilians who were confined in
Irving Block for various offenses, made their
escape by digging a tunnel under the rear
of the building. An alarm was given by the
corporal of the guard who discovcreif the
break almost immediately after its occur
rence, and pursuit was made, but the rascal
had made good their escape except one, who
having a chain and ball attached to his leg
was speedily recaptured at a short distance
from the prison. At this writing, none of
tne others nad been arrested.
SOUTHERN NEWS.
Northern Lm migration Desired. The
Northern press reproduce from the Rich
mond Times a long editorial on immigration,
from which we extract the following:
An opinion still prevails at the North, in
certain quarters, and among a certain class
of individuals, that immigration to and resi
dence in the South, unless in numbers large
enough for protection, would be very haz
ardous to the lives and limbs of Northern
men. A correspondent of one of the New
lork papers invites immigration to the oi
ler of irginia, but very amusingly cau
tious his people "to come in sufficient
strength for their safety."
Now all this is simply bosh and nonsense
.Neither the people of the valley of Virginia,
nor oi any otner portion oi ino cxratn, arc
such fools and savages as those idle and vi
citfus representations would imply. There
was a time when it was the interest and the
wish of the Southern people to exclude
Northerners. This was when slavery ex
isted, and when every Northerner was re
garded as an Abolitionist, and many of them
as John Brown's in disguise. But slavery
no longer exists, and with it had departed
that necessity, which, as an instinct of self
preservation, imposed a jealous and distrust

ot being tomahawked, scalped and roasted.

In this connection, wo copy the following
letter from the Cincinnati Enquirer:

Montgomery. Ala.. November 29.
No one knows who has not been a resident
of the South what we are suffering. Insults.
petty tyranny, abusive language personal
assaults and robbery are ot lrequcnt occur
rence. It is no uncommon thine for asnuad
of soldiers to assault and beat an inoffensive
citizen without the slightest provocation.
and no notice be taken of it. Even the poor
negro is roooea ot his chicken monev. as hr
returns to his house, by the straggling Fed
eral soldiers who infest tho suburbs of our
cities and towns. At some points the com
manding officers are more strict as is the
case here at this time, and we go about with
some degree of safety ; but at Sclma there is
a perfect reign of terror. Citizens dare not
venture out at night, and arc in great dan
ger from the drunken soldiers during the
day. There seems to lie less magnanimity
in the Northern character than I expected
to see exhibited, and it is retarding the res
toration of good feeling. When the surren
der took place, our people regarded it as a
defeat, and feeling that they had done all
that manliness and honor required, were
willing to yield the poinls at issue in favor
of the North, and return cheerfully to their
position in the Union, and receive once more
the Constitution of the United States, and
the laws in pursuance thereof, as their rule
of action. But such has been the bitterness
exhibited by the North, in the total disre
gard of their personal and political rights,
that a more bitter feeling exists now than in
tho early spring.
A swarm of thcivcs. in the shane of offi
cials and officers, who have robbed both the
Government and the people, have been sent
among as, and have added to the dissatis
faction. It has been no uncommon occur
rence for a military officer, with a train of
wagons, to go to a planter's house, place a
guard around it, with orders to shoot him if
he attempts to leave it, and his cotton hauled
to the steamboats sent for the purpose and
shipped off. Three hundred thousand bales
of cotton would not be an overestimate of
the quantity stolen in Alabama alone. The
planter lm no chance to traen it nn. I h?
knows none of the parties, and if he were tc

Many Southerners have already bought
houses in other countries, and there will be
a more general hcgira without a material
change in the policy of the Government.
Although instances exist of destitution and
ruined fortunes, our people are pecuniarily
better off than I feared they would be after
the vandalism practiced by Wilson and his
creWj who robbed every house they came to,
and 111 many instances hanged up old men
by the neck to make them tell where their
valuables were secreted. Mr. Hvde, an old
man of seventv-fivc years, was tied to his
bed-post! and fire applied to his house.
He jicrishcd in the flames. He was an old
jeweler, of the firm of Hyde & Goodrich,
New Orleans. The Northern papers teem
with instances of cniclty to negroes. I sin
cerely believe that there arc twenty negroes
maltreated by the Federals where one is ill-
used by a Southerner. The forbearance of
our people is marvelous. The negroes are
encouraged to bo independent and insulting.
and have in many instances murdered whites
in com blood. Not one in five arc punished
and it is in such cases our people sometimes
take the law in thoir own hands. James
Andrew shot a negro who had a stolen horso
and attempted to escape with him. For this
he was sentenced by a court martial to ten
years' imprisonment in a dungeon. He is
consumptive, and, on account of a hemor
rhage, was paroled for sixty days, but before
the time had half expired was remanded
back. The same day he received a proposi
tion that if he would pay five hundred dol
lars he would be permitted to remain for tho
sixty days, or on payment of five thousand
dollars would be released altogether. Ho
finally compromised on three hundred dol
lars, to remain at large until his wife re
turned from Washington, whither she had
gone to procure a pardon. President John
son called tor the record of the trial, but it

In Atlanta, on the other hand, real o-tatc

.Not the least rcmarkablo circumstance
connected with the return of proiierity to

the old inhabitants who were out in the Con

ness and society. Thegcneral apprehension
at the time of the bant up was, that all of
the past generation were done for, and would
never regain their feet Judging by what
has been the consequence of past revolutions,
tec supposition was bv no means lacking in
foundation. Never before in history havo a
people so readily readjusted themselves, after
having liccn so widely scattered. The four
years have already been forgotten, and the
lengthy barrel-face which was formerly so
often seen on our streets, predicting evil clays

Wo have a great respect for the Irish char
acter and have felt their strong arms. Our
fin-t teacher at an academy, the site of which
is not a thousand mill's distant was an
Irishman. A higher in authoritv th:m 1,
over us is of Irish descent. So that when we
touch uHn the subject of the Fenians wc fee 1
much like a man going out in a hail
storm without either hat or umbrella, and
realize, as tne locals say of a man aliout to
be hanged, ''the awful consciousness of cur
situation." But though it may be necessary
to purchase a cofiiir and select" our btirving
ground, things very repugnant to us when
aooui to trean dangerous ground, we cannot
help criticising, in a fraternal style, with the
most fraternal feeling and in a Pickwickian
sense, a recent Fenian move in the city
of New York, of which we have had no
telegram as to the effect it produced
on the " Canuchs, " or the Queen's
beef-eaters across the water. Wo nl
lude to the recent littlo row among the Fe
nians in Gotham, where the Fenian Senate
lenoiinccd the tseue of the bonds of the Iri.-!i
Republic under Col. O'Mnhonev'n authority
as illegal, and whero CoF. O'Mahoncy re
torts by informing the public that it U pcr
fect'y aiiiKirent the Senate have been bc-"!J
by ltritith gold. So tins Senate, a vi ry re
spectable and worthy Ixxly, tried Col. O'Ma-
noncy, without Ins being present, a mcst un
usual criminal proceeding for this country,
on the charge of holding on to the proceeds
of the sales of the Irish ImiikIs. They de
posed him from the office of President.
Ifipy next, in a similar summary manner,
lecanit-.ted the killing .Mr. Killian, on the
charge of treason and nialfunsam-c in office.
But, of course, Colonel O'Mahoney and Mr.
Killian snap their lingers at this judgment.
To learn the truth of the disturbance, and
get at the bottom of the row, the N9W York,
II orif s reporter visited Col. O'Mahoncv's
headquarters, in Union Square, on Saturday.
He thus descriles the headquarters and the
President and Treasurer:
"On arriving at tho portal of the elegant
and spacious mansion formeij occupied by
Mr. Moffatt, of pill notoriety, the Iicll wa.1
rung and a gorgeous flunkey nt tired in the
Fenian livery, consisting of roundabout mon
key jacket and knee brceehtsi to match, who
demanded of our reporter what his businc.J
was, to which answer was made that 'he
desired to sec Colonel O'ilahony, or Secre
tary of thcyrrcasury, Killian. On stating
that he was a representative of The VorU,
the magnificent folding door flew open as
if by magic proicllpd, and ho was tuln-rvd
into tho nwfui prceenco of Colonel O'Maho
ney and the Secretary of the Treasury. Beth
gentlemen were sentivl in the central parlor
of the mansion, which is fitted in a manner
to satisfy the caprice of an Eastern despot
with luxurious carpets, ebony and rosewood
desks, curved folding doors, with gcorgcoun
tinted stained-glass windows, sofa., divan?,
and inviting looking chairs, all comfortably
upholstered with the national color, green
and gold. Col. O'Mahouy sat in the back
ground, enveloped in it martial cloak, with
his hand supporting his chin, and his visual
organs scanning the intruder. Bernard Do
ran Killian sat 111 front of a magnificent desk,
with one leg thrown over the other in a care
less and unaffected manner, his sable locks
hanging loorieiy across his marble brow."
Now when the Irih say "fight," t.'icy
mean it none of this interminable corrci
poudence published in tho newspapers, to
the great annoyance of their patrons, and
which has mode latter-day duelling nocx
ceedingly ridiculous but the regular old
fashioned duel of fifty years ago., when yati
walked quietly out at early dawn with a
pistol case under your arm, and came homo
stretched out on a cc uple of planks. So wo
much expect some senotts work by the titna
