They believe they owe their emancipation to Lincoln, and that Grant ia his divinely appointed successor. They hate got the idea in their woolly pates that if the; Democracy return to power they will be re-en-slaved. and that Grant la, their only protec tor. The present negro generation are inn of bitter prejudices, and, as with all people who are grossly ignorant as well aa bigoted, it is impossible to reason with them. They must live through a Democratic administration to find how futile are their fears, and perhaps it will not be until a new generation grows up, which knows not and the war that followed, that dead issues will be buried by the blackl.

i The Republican parly In this as well as the other Southern States is composed of all the negroes and a handful of whites the carpetbag office-holders. When Warmouth is deserted by the negroes he is without a party, for he is abhorred by the Southern whites, and under no circumstances is it likely that he will be received into their favor. I have never before found antipathy so strong towards a public man as is felt by the whites of Louisiaca towards Warmouth. He is regarded aa the soul of the villiany that has sapped tho prosperity of the State and ground the peoplo to destitution and despair. His wealth is estimated at millions of dollars, the proceeds of the plunder jobs he has engineered through the Legislature.

Anything is preferable to another four years of Warmouth even Grant's bayonets. SHARP PRACTICE. A Female Confidence Operator. A touching instance of remorseful self-reproach is related by one of our exchanges. It occurred in Boston, the chosen American home of intellectual refinement.

A lady of elegant personal address, and. clad in the latest Parisian style. Called at a dry goods store, and while there was detected in the act of plagiarizing a pair of silk stockings. Seeing that the act of appropriation was observed she was suddenly seized with the pangs of repentance. Bursting into tears she dropped the stockings and in agonized language besought the proprietor of the establishment to forgive her.

She had been a kleptomaniac for years, and had art, uUgoVernabfe propensity to steal, though she was under no necessity of stealing fortunately above the reach of want grief, and the pltj wniei; is a natural consequence of seeing a beautiful woman in distress, so worked upon the feelings of the merchant that he consented to let her depart with the stockings, on condition that she would pay or them. This she gladly consented to do the merchant took his pay out of a twenty dollar note, and after receiving the change, the lady went her way, having overwhelmed him with thanks and benedictions. Whether his opinion as to her compunction of conscience and the genuineness of her repentance underwent any alteration when he subsequently learned that tbt) twenty dollar note was a counterfeit, this deponent is unable to say.

To the Editor of the Exprtm Yesterday wishing to know whether there was any probability of a change in the: weather. I called on the courteous "'weather! clerk," Buell, and as In formed; by him that there Was a storm of rain and i snow traveling in this direction, and would probably, prevail over this section of the country In about ten hours. The wind, which was prevailing from the southwest with pleasant weather, I was informed, would continue in that direction during the day, gradually backing to the south and west with rising temperature and increasing cloud, and further, I learned, that snow would probably fall first and turn to rain, which would prevail! during the night and perhaps during the forenoon, foHowed by clearing weather by to-mgnt. I must say that this prognostication was really wonderful. The accuracy with which of wind, the time of beginning and ending of the storm, strikes me at once that the signal service is performing a great and beneficial work for all mankind, and that the' probabilities are not guessed at but are drawn from laws which govern atmospheric disturbances.

Heretofore I have had little faith In this service, for the reason that I knew nothing of the laws of and the work ing of the system; but with suggestions rrofn the weatner clerk 1 am now able to use the published reports to advantage, and can see' clearly that this service la only in Its infancy that as the masses become educated and understand its value, it will be the most popular and useful bureau In the country. Hoping that you will publish this for the rjeuent or your reaacrs, i remain, A Sfbctator, March 36, 1873. 'THE ENGLISH REFORMERS. CD nrles Dlllce ana Aaberon Herbert. I From the Phitadtiphia Pretty On Tuesday evening, all the Tories and some of the Whig members having retired before the tots was taken, it was the decision of the Honse of Commons that Sir Charles Dilke's motion for inanity into the ebuses connected with and arising out of the enormous amout paid by the British nation to Queen Victoria and her family should be negatived.

In a furious manner Mr. Glad-Stone called upon the House to resist the question. The result two hundred and seventy-four votes against and two votes for the mptlon, was greeted witb cheers and laugh tcr," We are Informed. Is tho question dis missed 7 Certainly not. there is a power greater than that of Queen, Lords, or Commons.

The power of public opinion, when 'concentrated, Is superior to that of the Parliament, and the pnbile opinion, not of tlie aristocracy ox utle, land and wealth, I but of the mosses, will be with Sir Charles llke aDd Mr. Herbert in this matter. A plain 'artisan, however his education may have been neglected, can understand that the Queen I receives immense payment for duties, many of which she does not perform; thaUshe sves the money which was given her to spend, and that having made a bargain to tase per annum out oi the public treasury on condition of vlns ud the Crown lands, she has retained theDucby of Lancaster ever since her accession, and derives there from a revenue of $250,000 a year, which ought to go into the nation's purse. From this Source alone Queen Victoria has received during the thirty years of her reign which really belongs to the unfortunate tax-payers, and not to ner. is not this, amone other things, of inquiry A few words of information about Dilke ajud Herbert, mover and seconder of the motion whose rejection will make them the idols lor the present of the British Republicans.

Sir Charles Wentworth Dilke, born in 1843, Hnd elected M. P. for Chelsea in 1808, is grandson of a government clerk who bought the A.inemm in is.jU, ana Dy good management made It the valuable property it now is. His son, created baronet in ltil in acknow ledgment of his persistent toadyism of Prince Albert, was M. P.

for WalliHgford for 4 lew years, during wnicn time ne voted with the Liberals, but never spoke even a solitary Sentence, un his aeatn tne young gentleman Who is cow so prominently before the public, ruccecding to the title, became second bardbct. tie traveled a few years aaro through the United States and other countries where the English language is spoken, and the result was a liberal and readable book entitled "Great Britain." He is a good public speaker, and evidently possesses great moral courage. It Is worthy 6f note that, though he thinks $5,000,000 a year great deal more than British royally Should cost, Sir Charles Dilke has not yet avowed that ne! entertains republican principles. The utmost he said in the now famous Speech at'Newcastle, in which he complained of the excessive amount and bad manage ment of the civil list Wis that he was ready to examine republican and compare them with monarcnicai institutions.

He has been throe years in Parliament where has exhibited high oratorical powers. He is at least Sir Charles Dilke's equal In mental culture and ability, and goes beyond him in liberal Ideas, inasmuch as he declared In the House of Commons on Tuesday that he preferred a republic to a monarchy on which the public in the visitors' and reporters' galleries loudly cheered, and were immediately ordered out.

These two popular leaders one a baronet and the other an Karl brother will be heard of again, we suspect, In the certain agitation which is about to shake the British throne. rKOM THE BOKDEH. The Mexican Outrages. Brownsvilu, March 26. A presentment of the federal Grand Jury states that a depredatory war on this frontier is proven to nave existed since 18415, waged by a general organized band in Mexico, acting under Mexican General and commanded by officers of the Mexican army.

The Mexican officials, civil and military, have acted in a hostile manner by acta legalising murder and robbery, and a reign of terror exists between the Nencea and the Rio Grande. The penalty of death is denounced against any informer, so that no i names of witnesses are made public. The Mexican I markets are open for the sale of stolen cattle and a tax on them is regularly levied by the authorities. The presentment refers to the appointment of Cortina as officer of the line, who levied on the United State, murdered her citizen and soldiers, and robbed mails. I Juarez had been petitioned to remove him, but refused.

Hi command is always mounted on stolen horses. I The evidence shows that since the close of the civil war an averaare number of fire thou sand cattle have been stolen monthly, valued at sUunillionS three hundred thousand dol lars, not including the depredation ot the Kickapooa, who are Mexican citizens. Revenne Inspectors i Dnpont Hammond, Paelpa and McJLangbHn were killed by Mexi can bandits, ana otner assaulted an attained in a position of great peril.

This com pany secretly made eon tract with the great trunk line of railroads, by which it obtained the rijht to monopolize the entire oil busi ness, notwrmstaiHi ing tne zaci tnas members did not own a single barrel ot oil. The oriceS which the railroads were to eharse for freight were regnlaW by this company, and were largely in advance ox tne present raiea, while a rebate of about fifty per cent were to be riven to the company.

That the rail roada should hava been willing secretly to make contracts so oppressive and unjust to some of their best consumers, gives great probability to the belief that the leading men of these railroads were interested In the com pany; although now that it ha lailed, it ia ignored a ad disowned by all of them, and the whole responsibility lor it is sniftea to tne shoulders 1 of those who were unfortunate enotarh to become its officer.

The South Improvement Company wasfjeprcsented by tho President Mr. Watson, with whom, however, the oil-men would nave no communication, A number of others interested In the company were in the lobby, but their services were not required, and Mr.

Watson was only admitted to the meeting for a moment The conference between the oil and railroad men occupied about six hours. Early in the day the railrottd representatives agreed to the establishment of uniform rates, the same as at present $1.85 per barrel for crude and $1.50 for refined with no rebate or discrimination to any one. The Oil Creek refiners wished to have the rates for refined oil reduced to $1.45, and the day waa occupied with a discussion of this redaction, resulting finally In the acceptance of the old term's. The following agreement was drawn up and signed by all concerned." First That all arrangements for the transportation of oil after this date shall be upon a basis of perfect equality, to all shippers; produces and refiners, and that no rebates, drawbacks or other arrangements of any character shall be made or allowed that will give any party the slightest difference in rates or dlscrlmiiuUlon of any character whatever.

Hi Coarse witb Reference to the Rcnominatloii. Prom the New York Commercial Advertiser. Senator Wilson, In a speech mode in Connecticut on Saturday, said that the week be fore General Grant told him, at the White House, that he had never expressed a wish to any human being to be renominated, and should never lift his finger to accomplish that result More than anything else he desired the continuance of the Republican party in power, as he believed it essential to the se curity and prosperity of the country and so far as one in his position properly could, be would do all in his power to assist in the election or the nominee or tne convention. whoever it might be. This is the language of ji patriot and of a true Republican, and wo have no doubt the President is correctly reported.

The statement covers his enemies with confusion, and shows the falsity of the charge that General Grant is making a per sonal matter of hts reriortllnatlon. The per sonai part of the contest is in those who oddosc him. of whom Sumner stands as the representative man. It would be difficult for the Massachusetts Senator to show that he was animated by any higher purposes than disappointed ambition, personal pique, and atlronted sensibility. Four years ago Gen eral Grant was taken up because he was the man for the emergency.

Now he will be re nominated for a similar reason, and because his administration has been successful, economical, and propitious to the best interests of the country. RAILWAY BRIDGES. One of the most Wonderful Structures In the Country. Correspondence N. Y.

Times. TheWallkiU Valley Railroad bridge at Rosendole. Ulster County, deserves to be nloced among the wonders of railroad con struction. It Is built across a deep gorge in the Sha wan gunk Mountains, In which lies the romantic village of Roeendale, and through which sweeps the Rondout Creek. The immense chasm lay directly in the route of the surveyors when the line waa run, and there was no possible way to get around It and the gigantic task of bridging It was commenced.

The Watson Manufacturing Company, of Paterson, was awarded the contract for the superstrnctnre, and A. L. Dolby Co. the excavations and abutments. Work was com menced on the abutments in the Fall of 1870, but owing to the prevalence of quicksand in the excavation it was year before anything was in readiness for the superstructure.

The aggregate vote of Rhode Island last year was 14,701, and the Republican ma Jority 8,573. All of the names upon the Re publican ticket, with one exception, are re nominations, a fact which gives rise to the suggestion that the population of the State is so small that It cannot spare new men from (he active Industries, but which is owing to the New England habit of rewarding good and faithful servants.

The Labor Reformers, in February las, nominated Judge Davis and Governor Parker their Presidential ticket but it appears that neither of these two anxious men has been officially informed of the high distinc tion conferred upon them. Tho Labor Re form Convention, perhaps, forgot appoint a committee on the subject and so their nominees may never be informed officially of the action of the convention.

When a western paper recently mentioned! the tircumaUuce that Senator Trumbull bad! accepted a large fee from Andrew Johnson's Administration for legal services, While bo was a 8enator In Congress sod therefore til vlolatiou of the statute, ho felt called upon td, make a personal explanation before i the Senate, In the course ot which he flew Into a violent pssnlon with a brother Senator front hom he suspected that' the newspaper; bad ohtuined the lnf ormatlon, and who expressed the opinion that the had done wrongly In taking such a fee. Mr. TrntnbnB did not deny the fact, but he Insisted upon his riflit to accept the fee, and he treated witli tierce scorn the suspicion that his rote upon Andrew Johnaon'a Impeachment had' been Influenced by that fee, which wm the jiplcadld sum of ten thousand dollars, we helicvc. The Senator, and those papers which support him, took great comfort sub sequently in showing that ho was employed by General (irant, while the latter was Johnson's Secretary of War tut hiUrlm, in the case alluded to. But neither Mr.

Trumbull nor any nntl Grant journal has undertaken to say that this fact has suy bearing whatever upon the question of whether llwf Benator wg right or wronu in taking tire fee. That is the question at issue. Now the war which Mr. Trumbull and the other anti-Grant Senators, with the sore-headed KepubMean press, have waged upon I'rCHldiMit Grant, nan been largely based Oon jucstlons of constructive propriety. None of them hftA been ablo to sny that Grant has actually violated the law.

They have charged that he has doiiu things, or permitted thinpx to be done by olhers In his behalf, which were indelicate, no to pnk, or that showed lack of tbut of honor whieb hIioiiIiI dihllnuiHb an oflicial In high station. Kven In thin, however, they havo not succeeded. The more light they throw upon the iVcMdciit's conduct the more clacrly the ppo-j sec that their Chief Kxccutivc It an hon--cHt man In the widest nnd best sense of the word, Mr. Trumbull should be the last nan to iljcct to a dlnciiHnion of the ncstjlon of molivi-H In this connection. He has not been tender of the President's refutation an to posst-js any claim to special forbearance ut the liiiuds of loyal Republicans on that score, lid imght not to complain of those who ultuck him Just as ho and his friends hnvu attacked the President, and with similar weapons.

We do not wc should bo exceedingly loath to In-Mere, that Mr. Trumtull voted with the Democratic Senators to acquit Andrew Johnson because he had Juat received a fix) of ten thousafftf dollars- fiom Johnson's Secretary of War. But tills wc do ay If either of these Henntors whourc distinguished as the chief friends of (irant, was iu exactly the same boat with tho Illinois Senator, In that respect, Uieoppo sltion press would tic loud, persistent and positive iu lay I it such charge at his door. lAiiguago would fail them in denouncing snch palpable, unblushing ycnsllty. Erery Intelligent reader of the sore beadrtd press must admit that this is true.

Mr. Trumbull may consider himself lucky 4hut those papers which are noisy Jo applauding him and denouncing the President, have not tukeii It lutd thcl? heads to attack the CNair man of the Senate Judiciary Committee, with so good a handle wherewith to brlnjfr a pressure to bear upon him. Fancy, for jcx-aroplo, what the Now York Tribune would nay If Senator Conkling had taken that'teu thousand dollar fee Rut what are the facts of the matter, a mere reference to which excited the Illinois Sena' tor to such unwonted wrath and intemperate denunciation? A Washington correspondent hss stated that, before Mr. Trumbull was asked to accept a Government retainer in; the McArdle case, application was made to Senator Edmunds, Of Vermont, who declined on the ground that he could not, as a Senator, accept a foe from the Executive branch of the Government. Wc have reason to beeve that the retainer was offered to s'tili another Senator, before Mr.

Trumbull accepted nnd it was declined for the same reason that Mr. Edmunds gave. The lion. Matthew H. Carpenter was associated with Mr.

Trumbull in the case, and it is understood that Eei.dld all the real. work. The Illinois Senator's part was limited to making one or two motions before the Court. For this arduous service he took from the Government the magnificent sum of ten thousand dollars, paid as follows March 7, 1HH, $1,000 April 0, April 33, 18rt8, 7,000. Tho date of the: last payment becomes imjiortaot when it is compared with tho date of the Senate's action on the Impeachment of Andrew Johnson, May lti, 181H, when Mr.

Trumbull voted with, tho friends of the Administration and against the great majority of his own party. Does it follow that he had sold his vote No A thousand times, No But such a conclusion may be so plausibly drawn, that we cannot help feeling glad Wist Mr. Trumbull and the soreheaded Republican Journals have not the same opportunity for making a similar Insinuation against cither of the Senators wh arc distinguished as the champions ot the present Administration. How the New York THImne would ring the changes on "Grant's hirelings," liveried followers of the Administration," and so on ad nanxntinf This is not the only suspicious vo'Qs that has been cast iu the Senate by Mr. Trmhbull.

Another day wo may examine his record a little further. We have shown enough, we submit, 1 1 teach the censorious Chairman of tho Senate Judiciary Committee tho virtue the necessity In his cajio of displaying a little charity In Judging the motives of other men. Mr. Trumbull may rail as much as he pleases and play the role of injuncd Innocence but, say what he will, that ten-thousand dollar fee, whctherlt was legally or illegally received, and'that vote against impeachment were suspiciously close, together, ft certainly behooves him to be somewhat less enterprising In the lavestlga-tion business, if not a little less notsy and conspicuous in preaching about political purity and reform. GOOD FOR GRANT.

The President has again given evidence not only of great shrewness, but of unbending Integrity as well. It is reported that the noisy Warmonth, Governor of Louisiana, visited Washington for the purpose of proposing a compromise with the Custom-house faction, and to ask the President to-urge it upon his friends in Louisiana. The plan was to farm a new State Committee, composed equally of the two factions, with Marshal Packard to remain chairman of ft. The President refused to make terms, ad War-mouta la aald to have gone home dfclartnff his purpose to work for Grant's defeat by all the means at his command. The independent straight-forward doarse of the President in this matter can not be too highly commended.

Had he yialded to the suggestions of the Governor be would not only have placed himself In the iiower of treacherous partisans, but he would have degraded the high offlce he now Alia. Politicians will take notice from this, tAat Gen. Grant will 1 have nothing to do with ward cauunssea and central committees while he hi President If he can't he elected withont eoUasion with men as the distfrganiser Warmouth, then he will he beaten, -lirrfllsS before the Committee that Is Investigating the charges of corruption against thej Nair York Jndges attempted how yesterday that the Erie Railway Com-pan hadpatd for mn 0f Jndge Barnard's furniture but Ue Committee decides against the, iMB9 Cf i search sVarrant to- scorch the 259 MAIN STREET, tent to investigate the case, as majority of its members had declared themselves opposed to the thing to be examined into.

He bad, at Senator Bchnn's suggestion, seen Chambrun, from whom he received copies of letters of Remington to LeCleane and of letters from the Secretary of War to the Secretary of State.

He gave a circumstantial account of the steps taken by himself previous to the Introduction of his In response to the question be said he received numerous confidential communi cations on the subject but declined to give the names of the authors. He had handed them over to Senator Scharz. Mr. Sumner declared that he considered it his duty to move for an investigation. It is evident that even Mr.

Sumner has bad quite enough of this investigation, and would gladly undo what has been- done in this un lucky business if It were In his power to do so. The reluctance with which he came before the Committee, and his testifying under protest, are significant of the repug nance he now has for the unpleasant mess was led Into bringing before the Senate and country. The chalice he prepared for others is now offered to bim. We pity the Senator, but cannot sympathize with him. CARDOZA TRAPPED.

Thieves must learn that banking Institu- Uobs as a rule are not good places to hide stolon mosey in. They have a habit, in these concerns, of Jotting don the araonnt and date of every deposit and check, so that really there Is no security for a fellow who wants to keep matters a little shady. These tell-tale figures are liable at any moment to rise up in Judgment against a well-meaning thief and make hira tremble. This ambition to do a handsome banking business Is what brought Senator Wood to grief. Had he been wlsetenoagh to have taken tho $30,000 that he borrowed of Tweed and Gould, and stowed it away In some old boot or cast-off stocking, as an old woman would have done, he would have lost the interest It Is true, but the bulk of the money would still be there to draw upon, and his good name would have been untarnished.

So too with Judge Cardoza, who has been nourishing in the banking business, by which his Iniquity Is likely to bo exposed, or to be made more certain. Those ubiquitous reporters, who have a way of prying Into secrets and mysteries, have been overhauling the books of the Mechanics' Bank of New York, and they report somo most remarkable coincidences that will puzzle tho Judge to explain away to the satisfaction of an honest mind. For Instance, they find that one (J rati Nathan, who has been one of the staudlng referees of Cordoza's Court, has drawn his check at various times during the past three years for the aggregate sura of about and that on or about the same days that these checks are dated, Cardoza has deposited almost the identical amount in sums corresponding with those represented by Nathan's checks. The conclusion is natural, If not irresistible, that the funds passed from one to the other as indicated by the bank account and it is quite ts probable that the money was the share of Cardoza In what Gratz was able to "knockdown" in the important suits that had been entrusted to him by his copartner upon the Bench. The whole affair looks like another Installment of the Tammany rascality which the Timet has been so successful in unearthing the past year.

NAPOLEON'S FINANCES. Too much reliance should not be placed upon the oft-repeated rumors of the poverty of the ex-Emperor of the French. The "nephew of his uncle" was too shrewd a business man, and had seen too sad experi ence in earlier life, not to' provide for the emergency that has overtaken him in later years. For twenty years he has had practical control of the French Exchequer, and It is but reasonable to suppose, In the absence of soy knowledge upon the subject, that he has taken good care of Number One. It was cur rently reported before his deposition from the throne that he had large investments in real property in this SDd other countries, and it was generally believed that ho was among the wealthiest of living men.

A recent transfer of real estate In New York discloses the fact that he was seized of some valuable property in the American metropolis, and may still own much more yot that is undiscovered to tho public. The Western Union Telegraph Company recently purchased of Napoleon's agent the site ot tholr new building, which Is a choice and valuable- piece of property situated on tho northwest corner of Dey street and Broadway. This estate extends between fifty and sixty feet on the Broadway front, and runs back on Dcy street to a depth of one hundred and fifty feet. It is at present occupied by several well-known firms, and is even now valuable business centre. It was bought seven years ago by Dr.

Evans, the celebrated Franco-American dentist, for the Emperor. It Is well-known that Dr. Evans was a great favorite with Napoleon, and that he became in many matters his confidential adviser. Tho property was pnrchascd In behalf of Louis Napoleon, by Dr. Evans, for It was bought of Dr.

Evans, acting for the ex-Empcror, by the Western Union Company, for a profit, therefore, accruing to the deposed monarch of $300,000. It is the intention of the Western Union Company, to commence tearing down the buildings at present situated on the property, when the 1st of May arrives. A magnificent structure will then be erected on the site thus obtained, which will be the great telegraphic heart of this continent, whence shall radiate the enormous system of wires now centering in the comparatively obscure establishment with which the company has to be content at present Those who have been led to believe from gossip and rumors, as well the public sale of the Empress's Jewels, that the royal family were in straightened circumstances, may spare thSir sympathy and dry their tears 51 or there is no doubt but that Louis can command millions yet, and is husbanding his resources for the accomplishment ot his designs upon the French throne. The truth is, probably, that Eugenie sold her old diamonds to supply their place with others more costly Mid desirable, and not to replenish her purse wlUi pm money. It is to regretted that there lea probability that th much-valued Signal Service reports are to be diacontinued.

The President of the Western w0n Telegraph Company has notified the Government that he will not after the present agreement Is at end, which wUl occnr in about a month, make any new arrangement at the same rates. It appears that the present rates paid by the Government for telegraphing are about fort, per cent lower than those paid for commercial messages by Individual.
