F. Perry, late Provisional Governor of South Carolina; has written a letter to the New York Tribune.bom which we make tho following extracts. Aftor stating that the correspondents of that paper had greatly misrepresented public opinion in tne souinorn Motes, the Governor goes on to Bay wltn rezeronoa tne LOYALTY OF TUB PEOPLE. Ithink I know the feelings and wishes of tho peoplo of South Carolina as well as any one in the State. My recent position as Provisional Governor brought me in contact with all the prominent and influential men of the State, and I have no hesitation in saying, as an old Union man; whoso political life has been spentin de lonso oi me uetteral union, tnatwiey are uo nu uu cerely loyal to the United States, and faithfully sustain and defend the government This your readers do not believe, and have no right to believe, from the gross misrepresentations wmcn are constanuy maae to them by cotton atrnnui and other envoloyes of the govern ment to the Soutiiern States.

All hope or expectation of living Beparately from the North was given up with the surrender of the Southom army; and the people are anxious to renew once more tneir social, commercial, ana pouucai relations with the norm. THE' FEELING TOWARDS THE FREEDMEN. I state what I know to be tho facfc that there is no loeung of unkindness on the part of tno rormer slaveowners toward their freedmen. On the contrary, there 1b an earnest dienosltion. almost universal among them, to protect and assist their former slaves.

This thoy would do more cheerfully and more effeotually if tho jTeeamen'e Bureau did not interpose anu assume no guaraiansnip of these freedmen. The nerrro haB received much more abuse and suf fered much greater wrongs at the hands of the Fodoral troops in this section of the country than from his former owner. The other night a negro man was murdered in cold blood by a drunken soldier noar this luace. xuu uoiuier nas neeil uuut ou, miu uu luruiur notice taken of the murder. The garrison, at this place.

have been in the habit of knocking down and kicking on tne sidewalks all the negroes tney meet or nignta in the streets. No ono blames tho North for wishing to protect the negro in tho enjoyment of life, liborty and property. This haB already been done in moat of the Southern States by law. In South Carolina he is allowed to sue and be sued, to give his testimony in our Courts, inherit and purchaee property, sell and dovise the samo. Ho is allowed to make contracts, own real estate and be educated.

Tho young negroes who aro apprenticed arc icquirau lu uo sent to BCUOUl, uiuru oouiiy HUUUUI III the neighborhood, by their masters. Prottymuch all that the Civil Bights bill proposes' has been dono by tho State, except making them citizens of the State. There are very few offenses in our criminal code which do not apply to the white man as well as tho negro. NEGRO STOTEAOB. I am confident thcro is not ono negro in a hundred who would caro to vote, or would voto, in any election, if not prompted to do bo by his omployer.

Then he would always voto as directed by his employer. This would be giving unduo influence to wealth, and estate lien an odious political aristocracy, which would destroy or swallow up all the political influence of the poor whito men. That tho employe would voto as his omployerwishes is proven by all experience. In manufacturing companies, the operatives are genorally Whigs or Democrats, according to the politics of the owners of the establishment. How much moro is this likely to bo the case with ignorant negroes, who aro incapablo of comprehending any political question? In Boveral of the Southern 'States, freo negroes were formerly entitled to vote, but they never thought of exorcising this privilege, unless urged to do so by some white person.

Tou say it is quite possible that a restoration may be effected which will give one white man in South Carolina equal power in our common government with two white men equally capable ana intelligent and certainly not less loyal in New York." You know vory woll that our Federal Government is a compromise of political power between small States and large States, between States having a large black population and States having a Tory small population of that character. One white man in lthodo Island or Delaware had guaranteed to him in the Senate, as much political power under the Federal Constitution, as ten or perhaps twenty white men in Virginia, New York or Pennsylvania. Ono white voter in Connecticut or Massachusetts has twice as much political power in the house of Representatives as one white man in California the population of Califor nia being moslly voters, while a very largo portion of tho population of Connecticut and Massachusetts are women 'and children who aro not allowed to vote. Bepresentation in proportion to voters would deprlvo all the New England States of several members of Congress and transfer tho same number of representatives to the new Statos. The trainers of tho Federal Constitution wisely determined to give each State, whether irgo or nmall, rich or poor, the eame voto in tho Senate.

Thoy likewise determined, with equal wisdom, that representation in the house should bo in proportion to free population and three fifths of all otherB. They knew that tho slaves of the South excluded that free population whioh cultivated the soil in the Northern Statos, and decidod that three fifths of them should be counted. Now that those slaves have been emancipated, they must be counted aB freo persons in apportioning the representation of the House. Thcro is no moro injustice in counting them, although they aro not voters, than thero ia in counting tho children and women and foreigners not allowed to voto in Now York. They may contribute as much to tho defence and prosperity of the Uultod States as any other clasB of non voters.

R'would perhaps be difficult to establish a mors equitablo basis of ropreaontation than that of population. A very Bmall proportion of the population of any Stateare voters. The women and children aro excluded; persons convicted of infamous crimes are excluded; foreigners arc excluded; soldiers in the regular army Ere generally excluded; and, in many of tho Statos, poisons paytag no taxes, and unable to read ant are excluded. Who Rhall bo ijllowyl oxerciso the right of suffrage, hos Mehy'very "properly, loft for oach State to dotermine for herself, as it is to mako her own laws, and regulate her Judiciary and polico. But you contend that tho Southern States should be forced to allow the negro to vote whether he is capable of prudently eiercising that privilege or not.

For tho Banio reason, women and children should not bo excluded from the right of suffrage. They are citizens of the Statos, have to obey their laws, and aro punished even with death for their disobedience. Thoy havo to pay taxes on their property, and are counted in representation. The young men, from 18 to 21, aro called upon to go forth in defonso of their country, and sacrifice their lives for a government ovor which thoy havo no control. Ihe samo may bo said of tho foreigner till he is naturalized.

In the Northern States, thoro aro comparatively vory few negroes, and their injudicious voting would do very little mischief. But, in Soutn Carolina, a majority of our population are negroes. Thoy might have the entire control of the State Government, and elect their own Governor, members of Congress, legislators, Judgoa and State officers. This Government has been tho whito man's Government, both Federal and State. It wos formed by whito men and for white mon exclusively.

In Hayti, the black men havo a government of their own, and they havo very properly excluded white mon from all participation in It. No whito man iB thero permitted to vote or fill any office of profit or trust under the Government. Why should wo bo more tolerant to tho nogro than he is to tho whito man Tho history of the world shows, for the last yoarB, that the negro is inferior to tho white man, In Africa, thero has beou no progress or advancement in civilization, whilo all the Caucasian nations of tho earth have been making the most wonderful strides in all the arts, sciences, literature and improvements of the world. In his formation and Btructure, physical aud intellectual, as well as color, the negro is inferior to the whito faian. God has mado him so; and you cannot chango his nature by legislation or tho oxorciso of political rights.

CIVIL ItlGHTS, In regard to civil rights, all should bo oqual, so far tho protection of life, liborty and property aro concerned, whether roalo or femalo, old or youug, rich or poor, white or black. All should bo allowed to suo or bo Bucd, Bell and purchase, inherit aud devise, givo testimony in court, In a great measure, as I havo already said, this has been douc in South Carolina. EMANCIPATION AND ITS EFFECTS. You will say that you hove caused the emancipation of the negro against our wishes, and this proves that you feel more interest for them than wo do. I havo no doubt that yourself will acknowledge, in less than ten years, that tho negro raco has not been benefitted by freedom.

Instead of a blessing, emancipation willprovc a curao to them. The next census will prove that they have dt miniBhed in numbers, inBtead of increasing, as they heretofore havo done, with great rapidity. The old and young, tho feeble and sick, will no longer have that care and attention which thoy always had in slavery. What haa emancipation already dono for the negroes in the Southern States? It Is said that more than 600,000 of them have perished died of diseases contracted by leaving their homes, or been slaughtered in battlo. The next census, it is supposed by otherB, will swell fSTfl frightful destruction of the African raco to 1,000,000 of victims.

When the War commenced, there we're 4,000,000 of negroes in the United States. I do not believe that the next census will show 3.000.000 of them left. This Is a blessing with a vengeance. Those still remaining here are destined to dwindle away, as the Indian haB, In juxtaposition to the white man. Th9y are disposed to quit field work and flock into tho towns and villages, where thoy must necessarily Buffer from wu want ui ioou anu contract diseases woiou win cut iui nate their lives.

The care and attention which the Freedmen's Bureau now extends to the negro is only to encourage him in Idleness and vice. Instead ot making contracts to labor for his former owner, ho is permitted to oust the pro pritor of the land and live on tho same himself in idleness, at the expense of the Foderal Government In itead of encouraging the negro to labor, and look 'to hia former owner as hia best friend, tho this. Bureau have taught him to regard hlsTTorrnqr ownor as are enemy ana oppressor, ana'look to me i euerai uov eraiueni lur support and protection nut idleness. It ia very doubtful whrthnr love for the negro had anything to do with his emancipation. A bitter feeling of jealousy and hatred toward the Southern slaveholder prompted this Abolition movement in the first Instance, and it was finally seized hold of for the purpose of conquering the South and putting an end to the Rebellion.

By it your armies were recruited'; with our. slaves, and your own citizens permitted to remain at homo instead of going forth to battle themselves. Tbls'brlba or freedom turned the Southern slave against his mastor, and they were slaughtered by thousands and tens of thousands. In this way, you showed your love for the poor slave and made him your victim. The Governor thftn imninriwi Northorn men, if thoy care so much for the negro, to take him North and pro vido for him, and then enters a very eloquent PLEA POE THE WHITE MAN.

unparaoraoie crime have the SooosV sionlsts themselves been guilty of? They believed in that sacred principlo set forth in our Declaration of Independence, that every people' hive the right of self government, and tho right to change and alter their form of government aa they may Bee proper. This was the and front of their offending, nothing more. Tney'eipressed their purpose of living separately from the Northern States 1 That was alii They did not seek to invade the North or govern ihe North. It was not their purpose to wage war the Northorn States, but to live quietly and peaceably by them as neighbors and friends. They had boon taught by their greatest statesmen for half a century past that they had the right to peaceably secede from the Federal government.

And they attempted to exercise this right That is all I For this attempt, they have been conqnorod and subdued, their property taken from them, and their country desolated I 1b not this punishment enough for a simple error of judgment 1 Bnt they have suffered a still more terrible punishment in the loss of 200,000 of their most gallant sons 1 In every house throughout the land, there is deep, bitter mourning for tho loss of somB1 loved ono. Thousands and hundreds of thousand! of widows and orphans are scattered over the Southern States living in, want and destitution, while they hear of ample prowion being made by their government, for the support and protection of tho widows and orphans of those in the Northern Btates.who fell fighting against their fathers and husbands 1 In their poverty, too, thoy know that they havo to cbntri. bute towards the payment of those pensions. But all thiB they have borne and made up their minds to bear in all time to come. It seems, however, that there is another punishment to be inflicted on the Southern people, sttll more deep and domnlng, by the leaders of tho Radical party in Congress.

I do not think that the great mass of the Badical party wish to see in the Southern States a war of races between the whites and blacks. But it would Beem, from the legislation of Congress, that suoh a fiendish purpose is entertainod by BQme of tue membora of that body. First, the negro is to be invested with all political power, and then the antagonism ofinterest between capital and labor Is to work out the result I But it iB to be honed that the next election for.Cnn. gross will relieve the country of such leaders, and save the Southern States from so horrible a fate. Whllo I mistrust tno wisdom and sincerity of politicians, I never have doubted the virtue and patriotism of the people.

It iB always their interest to be right, and generally they will get right B. F. PEnni. GnEESVTLLE, S. April 15, 1866.

Meeting of the Committee on Railroads of the Common Council The Brooklyn and Canarsio Railroad. The Committee on Bailroads of the Common Council, met last evening, in the Committee Boom, City Hall. Alderman SteBra occupied the choir. The only matter of business which came up, was tho resolution giving permission to the Brooklyn and Canar Bie Railroad Company, to lay a track on Clove Boad, from Butler street to the city lino, a distance of about half a dozen blocks, until that portion of Nostrand avenue, bolween those points shall bo opened and properly graded. The following communication roceived from Mr.

J. CarBon Brovoort, an extensive property owner on tho road, in relation to tho matter, was read by the Chairman: To VieRailroad Committee of the Board of Aldermen: Gsntleueh: As the matter of permitting rails to be laid on tho Clove Iioai, has been referred to you, I wlah to mako tho following romarks on tho subject: The Bergen street railroad, which has consolidated with the Brooklyn and Canarste Bailroad, now ends at Clapson avenue. Tho street thence to Nostrand avenue is not opened by law, and is not graded; high banks and low hollows exist on the blocks between Classon avenue and Nostrand avenue. Nostrand aveuueis graded and paved by private contract as far south' as Baltic or Butler Btreet, the rest being still ungraded, and all that portion of the Clove Bead to tho City Lino, is not opened at all, though open by law. This work of paving and grading Bergon atroot andJ gTouing nosirana avenue wui tane eomo tune to com plete, and tho Company cannot connoct their lino outside and inside tho city until it is dono.

The Clove road, only V)i feet wide, (3 rods,) is in some places much lesB than this, and is too narrow for the present travel on it. In ono place, betwoon Sackott and President streets, it has been narrowed by some ouo on the east side to 'about 35 feet, which would prevent all travel if rails woro to be laid on it. If the Committoo will inspcct.the plans above mentioned it will find that tho Olovo road Is tho only proscnt outlet to tho9th Ward between Franklin avenue and tho Huntorfly roid, a epaco of two miles, and that the public cannot spare it. The Company wish to savo tho oxpenso of grading tho unopened parts of the streets through which thoy are confined by law, and may use the Clove road to the exclusion or Inconvenience of tho public for several years until the streets have been opened at tho oxpease of tho adjacent owners. Yours respectfully, Brooklyn, April IB, 1805 J.

Catuon BnEvoonr. Mr. Wm, H. Voeder said that if Clove Boad wro re stored to the proper width, equally, ho thought that tho track could be laid. The Committeo would understand that if tho Bailroad Company woro refused, and forced to open and grade Nostrand avenue, the owners of property along tie route would thus escape assessment, and he understood Mr.

Brevoort to be an oztonsivo owner there. This forcing a private corporation to serve the nublic would not bo exactlv richt. Evervono understood railroad companies to have two objects; ono; to accommodate tne puouc, ana tns otner, to ensure a good return for themselves. They are entitled to some consideration. There is no other way but by Clove Koad to avoid the ungraded portion of Nostrand avenue in question, and if so, the Company would not hare tho right, by their oharter, to take it.

Aid. Cunningham said that if there would bo no en croachment on the allotted Bpacb for a carriage way, he was in favor of granting permission. Ho would liko, howevor, to take a look at tho road. Mr. Tceder replied that tho company intended to lay a single track, and would not occupy a spaco more tenteet width; so tnat ample room for carriages on the road.

Aid tnougnttnat tne company couiu go Lui to work and lay tho rails, and if any complaint was then madeit would be an individual one only. Mr. Voedor thought thoy could obtain permission of the property owners on the route, but he did not know whether it would be right to perform tho work. It was finally agreed that tho Committee should consult the counsel of tho Board in the matter, and visit' the Clovo Boad on Saturday afternoon next, for tho purpose of ascertaining whether tho permission asked tor can be righteously granted to tho company, Adjourned, OUT DOOR SPORTS. Base Ball.

The Exoelsioes. This club, for some time tho "Chomplona" of the country, but which has lottorly kept Bomewhst in the back ground, has Btopped to the front once more, and with a first nine" comprising such names as Joe Leggett, Dick Poarce, Asel Brainard, Russell, Crane and Norton, stands a good chance of carrying off tho highest honors. They held a special meeting last oventng at tho CluV rooms, no. ntx jruiion street, tne ur. Jones, In the chair, and considerable business was transacted.

Twenty four new members were elcoted, making in all about a hundred that have joinod tho club this season. A challenge from the Harvard University Club was read, and on motion accepted. The game will come off on the Capitolinc grounds on irtdaj', June 1st (r. The Club then voted to extend an' invitation to tho Muluols of to play a sorios of homo and homo gomes. A challenge had been received and accepted eome tune Dctore tno ueatn oi creiguton, from the Eureka Club of Newark.

Owing to tho death or that lino player and true gentleman, the match was postponod and has not yet been played. The Secretary was instructed to notify the Eurekas that the Excelsiors were now ready to accept tho challenge or extend ono to them in return. A challengo was also accepted from tho Star Olub, of Brooklyn, and ono given to the' veteran Knickerbockers, of Now York, to play the usual series of games. Tho Knickerbockers wore the pioneers of Base Ball ploying in this country, and to their oSorts mainly may bo attributed the present high position that the game now holds in the estimation of tlio public. Thoy occupy a high social position, have always been on the most intimate and friendly terms with the Excelsiors, and the two clubs have met from year to yoar in friendly rivalry.

The matches aro not "first nine" gomes, but are gotten up for the sako of social enjoyment, and a good timo generally, regardless of victory or defeat. From inscriptions on tho "sliver ball" which, by the way, now "weara" a very handsome caso, the gilt of Mr. Oliver, and occupies a prominent position in tho Club room are taken tho names of the following players, who have made the best records in their respective years: '50, Edmund Russell; '00, J. H. Leg gelt; '61 '63, James Crolghton; '63 '0i, George H.

Flanley; '65, Asel Brainard. Each year, as an incentive to exertion, the name of the player making the best average, is engraved on the ball, which is to bo preserved as a. "roll," or ball, "of. honor." On motion of Mr. Dakin, a vote of thanks was tendered to the Eiora, for the friendly interest tt has manifested in Base Ball, and its efforts to raise the game to a high and honorable position.

The mooring len adjourned. The following is the revised list of the officors of the Clnb for the ensuing year: J. P. Jones President. Oliver Vice President.

To tht Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: Having noticed the report in your paper of yesterday, of the proceedings of the Metropolitan Board of Excise, and being an apothecary, I make the following remarks on that part of tho proceedings relating to druggists.

i In the first place I win state that I have hitherto sold fermented and distilled liquors and in most to customers who were recommended to my Btore by "most respectable" physicians to obtain the same. I claim that the Board of Excise have not 'the shadow of aright to. prevent me selling, liquor, for medicinal purposes and otherwise than for that purpose. I have never drop of anything of the sort, nor haver never to my knowledge allowed liquors, to be sold on my premises, for inime'diate use in my Btoroor any part of the building connoctodwth it. Oar United Statos Dlspoiisatory andPharmacopasarooognijo etch articles as medicines andaa the United State give me a license as apothecary, I propose, in defiance of tho risolnUona passed by the Board of to a xercU 6 (he prerogative granted me thereof to carry on 'and conduct the busiuPBs In which I am engaged and a part of whioh ia iteWof'Uqaoni' raadMnos, i r.

1 ii t. sons in selecting their orfcans. Admitting its own insignificance aa a JMMoation of tho Commissioners for overlopldrig' it, ihe limes jriag nanimously gives its big Shoddy brother the following handsome recommendation: "I seems tos that If a Western District sheet wa to bo patronized, that the Union Bhould have been selected. Although the Times circulates two or three copies to the Union' one, it goes agoinst the grain for us to seo a loyal Western District newspaper passed over by tho Health Commissioners in order that a Copperhead Journal which has done nothing but abuse them should be tho recipient'of their money." According to the limes' candid admission the kind of loyalty represented by the Shoddy organ is not appreciated by the people of Brooklyn, and tho Health Commissioners were jfortunate in being able to spread their Code (before the public through the only paper whioh is universally read in Brooklyn. The Pubiosb of ihe Radicals, During the discussion in the Senate of a resolution offered by Senator Dixon as a substitute for the reconstruction scheme, Senator Sumnor made tb following disclosure of the partisan neld in view by the Badicals, and why they desire to postpone the restoration of the Union.

Mr. Sumner said: I deprecate any etfort now to precipitate a docislon on that question, and I do most sincerely hope that the Sonator from Blaine the Chairman of tho Comniitteo on Reconstruction will bear that in mind. I do not believe that Congress, at this moment, is in a condition to give tho country the best proposition on. this question. I am afraid that excellent Committee has listoned too much to tho voices from without, insisting that there bo such an issuo presented to tho country.

For myself, I havo always thought that call was premature, Tuero is no occasion now. for an issue to be presented. There aro no elections now pending in any of the States. Tho election in Connecticut is over. Tho election in New Hampshire is over.

There aro to bono elections beforo next Autumn, and what is the occasion now for an issue to bo presented to the country? The Union is to be kept divided and the material prosperity of tho country sacrificed, that the Badicals may nurse an 'issue' on which they hope to prolong political power. A case of cholera has been reported in New York, as for up as 01st street. This is a healthy locality, far enough removed from the commercial part of the city to dispel any suspicion of contagion from the vessels at Quafc. antvne. There were, according to the report, local causes sufficient to produce any disease, the house whero.the woman lived was a filthy tenement house, and the woman had been engaged in omptying a privy to fertilize her garden.

Tho Health Commissioners took very prompt measures to prevent any spread of the infection, by removing the occupants of the. house to tho Battery Barracks, destroying the clothing and bedding and fumigating the building. The Ann Stbp.ki IiigEovzMEST Killed. The widening of Ann and Fulton streets, New York, known as the "Now Broadway" improvement has been killed by the Common Councij of that city, that body having annulled the or. dinance.

The ground taken by the Street Com. mittee of tho Common Council in their adverse report was that an imposition had been attempted by the legislature in making the expense of the improvement a general tax upon the whole city, instead of a local assessment on the property benefitted. The improvement was not condemned on its erits. We regret this result, and New York will regret it, particularly the short sighted property holders along the proposed line of the improvement who would have been disturbed and put to some outlay, but which woidd havo been returned to them ten fold in a few years in the increased value of their property.

Trials of Policemen. Tho only Brooklyn case that came up before the Polico Commissioners yesterday afternoon was that of Officer OinarVail of tho 42d Prccinct.who was chargod with impropor conduct, Mr. T. McCaiUay.rosiding at 68 Main street, deposed that between tho hours of '2 and 3 p.m. of Sunday, April 22d, two men came into his store on no particular business.

After stopping for somo timo they were askod to leave, which thoy refused to do, and tried to strike him on the head with a hammer. They then draggod him into the street and beat him brutally. Officer Vail was called upon for assistance, and defendant went into the houBo for his coat. When ho came out the officer had dischaiged the assailants without giving him any satisfaction.

Forged Checks Negotiated to the Amount of a Million DoUars Tke Loss Falls Host Heavily on the Banks Excitement among the Bulls and Bears Boss, the Forger. Since the days of Eetchum, the prince of swindlers, and Jenkins, his confrere, no such excitement has prevailed in Wall street as that caused yesterday, afternoon by tho discovery of tho operations of tha forger, John Iioss. Tho caso came to light just as tho offices wero closing for tho day, and anxious faces tes fled to gravo doubts as to tho genuinonoss of checks deposited with a feeling of perfect security but a short time before. THE LOSSES.

The following are the losses, with their amounts, as far as ascertained; Black Spaulding, 19 Broad street (gold) $50 000 Croniso 27 Wall street (gold) 60,000 Groesbcck is SO Broad streot (supposed). 100,000 Union and Continental Banks 179,000 Leather and Manufacturers' Bonk, or Howes Macy 108,000 Total $187,000 Other firniB havo been victimized to a groat extent, it is reported, who conceal purposely tho real facts in their respective cases. The aggregate loss iB believed to be more than $1,000,000. SOME OP THE "OPERATIONS." On Tuesday afternoon two checks to tho amount of $129,600, purporting to havo been drawn by Albert Speyer, a banker and broker, doing business at 27 Pine street, wera deposited by a Mr. John Boss in tho Union and Constitutional Banks; one in each bank, indorsed in duo form by the depositor, and bearing the certified stamps of the Fourth National Bank, When the time came for "exchanging" the deposited checks on hand at the two former banks, the checks in question were sent to the Fourth National Bank for collection.

The checks 'wen apparently genuine. Soperfeotwore they as to deceivo the moat finished experts; but the forger had mado ono mistake, whioh resulted in detection. The checks both bore tho same number, a number which tho books showed had been some time prer viously negotiated by Mr. Speyer, and, upon showing them to that gentleman, ho immediately pronounced them forgeries. Yeatcrday afternoon, Messrs.

Howes and Macy, No. 0 Wall Btrcet, received from the Leather Manufacturers Bank two checke, ostensibly by them and indorsed by John Boss. The checks, which wore exact' imitations of thoso used by tho firm, oven to tho minutest hair line and tho water mark, wero, on close examination, declared to bo forged. A few weeks ago, Kobb wont to Messrs. Groesbeek No.

30 Broad street, and gave them an order to buy, it is Bald, a very large amount of Michigan and Central Railroad stock at a certain price, which he was careful, in a business like way, to specify. In due time tne firm purchased the Bt6ck, and delivered them to Mr. Boss. In return, the latter paid for tho stock in good money. About two weeks after this fair way of doing business, he called upon the Broad street office, and brought with him what to all appearances seemed to be the identical packogo containing the stock Bold by the firm a fortnight before.

The package had not, to aU exterior appearances, been opened since it had first left tho office. This package he left with the firm, and managed to obtain on them a loan of, it is reported, an exceedingly large amount of money. Of course the "stock" proved wdrthless, and Mes3rs. GroeBbeck Co. wero swindled to a largo amount.

Other firms, among whom are Black and Spanieling, No. 19 Broad street, and Messrs. Oronlso fc No. 37 Wall street, mentioned above, wero mulcted in'largo amounts, but it is unnecessary to particularize further. THE PORQKB, John Boss, is about 30 years of age, tall, Bllm and in appearance a gentleman.

Ho ia an American, but his antecedents up to the time ho commenced business in Now York, are' unknown at present. For six months ho has been, banker and broker at No. 6 Exchange place, and in Choi short period has succeeded only too well in securing confidence and a pretty good pile of greenbacks. He had' ono clork in. his employ, who has with Boas disappeared.

The detectives aro on their track, but the swindlers have got the and may succeed in making off with their ill A meeting iB called for this afternoon In Wall BtrOBt, to take measures to secure the arrest of tho forger, and to take harmonious action for the recovery of the money lost. The cose is enveloped in considerable mystery, as the checks were all perfect imitations 'in every respect. Boss is not known to have had in his possession a single one of the originals. Can any one throw any light upon this dark subject?

Lawrence Mercer stated that tho motion had boon carried over tho heads of the members in tho first place. The Secretary explained that it was carried beforo run nouso, only three mombera not voting. Some members were in favor of taking action in tho matter at once, whilo others thought it beat to refer it and other matters to tho Advisory Committee for their action.

Edward Gallagher moved that Patrick E.

Edward Carr moved to amend thot Mr. Dillon's namo be sent to the various Plasterers' Associations by the Corresponding Secretary, stating tho circumstances of the expulsion.

The amendment was carried. The monthly report of the Troasurcr indicated a fo vorablo condition of financial matters.

This paper has the Largest Circulation of afiy Evening Paper published in the United States. Its value at an Advertising Medium, is therefore apparent Governor Ferry's Letter and Greeley's Kcply.

Governor Perry, of South Carolina, has written a letter to the Tribune, as the best means of reaching the extreme men who still maintain a relentless antagonism to the South and seek to justify themselves by misrepresenting the feelings and sentiments of the Southern people. No public man at the South is better able to judge of the public sentiment in his section, or who has a claim to he listened to with more respect at the North. As Provisional Governor of South Carolina, Gov. Perry had the confidence of the President, and he discharged the' duties of that position in a manner to retain that confidence and win the respect of the peo pie. The radical hobby is the negro, and the pretence that the dominant race at the South will not treat the freedmen fairly, is made the pretext for keeping the Southern representatives out of Congress and (he countryman unsettled condition, detrimental to all its best interests.

Wo give, in another column, all the salient points of Governor Perry's letter, to which we invite attention. The logic of Governor Per ry's argument is that self interest, if no higher motive, would prompt the white people of the South to treat the negroes well, to elevate them socially and morally, and to surround them with the protection of the law. In the State or South Carolina, laws have been enacted in advance of the Civil Eights bill, which confer upon the negroes all the privileges that act confers, except making them citizens of the State. Governor Perry asserts what every honest enquirer at the South has admitted, thot there is "no feeling of unkindness on the part of the former slave holders towards their freed men; and he further asserts, and which even the Tribune admits, that the negroes havo suffered the greatest abuses at the hands of the Federal soldiers at the South. Gov.

crnor Perry is opposed to negro suf. rage, an opinion he shares with a majority of the people of the Northern States. If the people of New York and Connecticut deem it unsafe or inexpedient to trust the franchise to a few hundreds of comparatively intelligent negroes within their borders, on what principle can we ask the people of South Carolina to put the ballot in the hands of their freedmen, embruted by slavery, and who outnumber, and could consequently outvote the white population. Mr. Greeley, with an affectation of magnanimity in publishing Gov.

Perry's letter on the inside of his paper, writes a reply over his own signature in the editorial column, Mr. Greeley betrays an anxiety lest his reply should not be seen by all who may read Gov. Perry's letter The journals which, in Greeley's language, sympathize" with Gov. Perry, could do the latter no better service than to print the two documents, side by side, to show what a poor case the ablest champion of tho radicals is able to make out in reply to the straight forward statements and logical arguments of Gov. Perry Greeley's whole argument is summed up in his second proposition, which reads: H.

I believe all you soy of abuses and wrongs inflicted on tho Blacks by Federal soldiers. Many of tliese are low bred men; and every Whito ruffian or rowdy, drunkard or reprobate, whether at the North or at tho South, ia an instinctive hater and persecutor of tho Blacks. The Eame gangs of Rebel Bympathizors who, in July, 1803, mobbed and fired tho Tribune office, burned tho Colored Orphan Asylum and hunted unoffending. fleeing Blacks through our Btreets; killing them whenever they could, simply because of their color. We, who have long hoped and struggled for Emancipation, do not choose to leave the freedmen at tho mercy of these villains, no matter whether they be Northern or Southern, Union or Rebel.

Can you blame us I Are we to infer from this that Mr to ment of the negro will tend to obliterate a prejudice against him, a prejudice exasperatod by attempts to forco him into a position tho majority of the dominant race are not willing to accord him. The cry of the abolitionists used to be, give the negro his freedom and he will take care of himself. He has got his freedom, dearly enough purchased, yet his friends claim that he is not able to take care of himself without tho ballot. This is their ultimatum until thoy get it; then will tho Radicals let us know what they want next. No evidence will convince them of the good intentions of the Southern people, no concessions will satisfy them.

It is for the peoplo to say whether this agitation shall be perpetuated and the Union kept divided for the benefit of a faction of a party. At tho conclusion of his reply to Governor Perry, Greeley jays: Gov. Perry 1 it is the bight of presumption in thoso who for four years did their utmost to destroy the Union, now to assume to measure and limit tho rights of tho loyal men, white or black, at whose handB they experienced so terrible a defeat so complote an overthrow. You ought to counsel them to accept readily, gratefully, Equal liights secured by Equal Laws as the basis of a prompt, thorough, beuoficient Reconstruction." The "Equal Eights proposed as tho basis of the "beneficient Eeconstruction," are the disfranchisement of the white people of tho South until 1870, and the immediate enfranch ment of the blacks. In short, Governor Perry and his constituents are asked to hand themselves over, bound, politically, hand and foot for four years, to be ruled by their former slaves.

The National Debt. The monthly report of the Secretary of the Treasury shows a steady decrease of tho na. tional liability. There has been a decrease of sixteen millions of dollars in one month, at which rate the whole debt could be paid off in fifteen years But it would not be advisable to press so early a settlement, After the strain of the past fivo years the nation needs a relaxation of the pressure of taxation, which at pre sent bears heavily upon industrial pursuits. The abnormal condition of business affairs created by the existence of war, enables peoplo.

to bear heavier burthens of taxation than they can in times of peace. Congress has under discussion an amendment to the internal revenue law which is calculated to lighten or remove some of the most onerous taxes, which itinestimated will effect a reduction of eighty millions a year in the revenue. This will only be a comparative reduction, as the steady increase of baseness and the more efficient system of collection of taxes will bring up the receipts of the next year to nearly the old figures. A most important measure in relation to the Nitionnl Debt has been introduced to the Senate by Senator Sherman, and which is said to have emanated from the Secretary of tho Treasury. This bill provides for the consolidation of all outstanding liabilities into a thirty years loan of five per cent, interest and princL pal payable in It is believed that bonds of this description could be readily sold at par fast enough to take up the Treasury notes, the i even thirties and five twenties as they fall due, and that owners of the latter securities would be willing to exchange them for five per cent bonds which have a longer period to run, and which are to be exempted from all taxation local and Federal.

If we have harmony at home, and keep outof any foreign war, and the way to ensure this is to bring about a speedy and perfect re iteration of the Union, for as President Johnson says, the country united would, be so powerful that no foreign power would dare make war upon us, we can pay off the national debt with ease in thirty years.
