Mr.

Beecher said in the speech referred to: 'That Sharp's riflo was truly a moral agency.

Governor Fenton has continued the extraor dinary powers of tho Board of Health, and the Board will continue, as usual, to accomplish nothing extraordinary. Young Men in Boarding Houses. Rev. Henry Blanchard, pastor of the Church of the Itestoration, corner of Clark streot and Monroe place, last evening delivered a lecture upon the subject of "Young Men in Boarding Houses." Owing to tho inclemency of tho weather tno rain was pouring profusely the attendance was but small. a mi nnmiiinr miereisos of stneing, reading of tho Scriptures, and prayer, the reverend gentleman, with a few apologetic and explanatory remarks, pro ceeded to the discussion or ma buujui He stated that this ago was the era of great cities ana boarding bouses.

In the earlier nays matters were different, ana it is now rauoo seaboard towns of Now England and see them peopled by old men and young ladies. Tho young men have left their homes and poured into the large, commercial cities, living mostly in boarding bouses and subject to all temptations. The allurements of gin palaces, saloons with pretty waitresses, gambling halls, com bine to draw tnt away uum virtue. How could these temptations be avoided or overcome? irst by maling of their boarding houses, homes. Young men Bliould havo separato rooms and make their rooms hemes, make them so plcasant'tis to keep the oc mninta niifnltlie rreneral Bailor.

But it might be ob jected, tho wages received by tho majority ot tho young men were not suuicieui, ouuw uu uu, Bptaker, your exp uses for tobacco, amusements, and tho money received would bo ample enough. (WcuUit') Then young men should keep themselves in constant communication and communion with homo, by weekly letters to parents, sisters and friends. Second. Young men in boarding housos should havo society, but they should be carclul iu tho choice of companions. They should seek those upon a hiiilior lovol than themselves, older persons, their employors and the clergy.

Third An interost iu Literature was needed; not Bello Letlres alone, or newspaper literature, but an acquaintance with science, the poets, novelists, and historians. Tho love of literature was a defence against temptation. Tho (rrnitleman next Bnoke of tho formation of habits and advised all not to form tho habit of using intoxicating liquors, although he said he was not a tee totaler. He lnvei'iucu especially ofiomhi, iuu piinico nf ririnltim, nwav from home, at bars, Moroover, a young man should bo interested in tho great problems of the day, should be a minister, politician, merchant, artist, all in one, should havo before him the ideal of an unselfish life and so lilt hunsoil aoovo ino aross oi earth. The speaker closed with a peroration appropriate to the general tone of his address and with the usual formalities tho audience was dismissed.

Utopia is doubtless a pleasant coun try but it is vory difficult of access. Amusements. The Opera. The brief season of opera closed on Saturday evening, with tho performance of La which two new candidates, for public favor wero introduced, Miss A. M.

Hauck, and Signor Earagli. Tho lady is of American birth and education 1 and first attracted attention at private performances iu New York, and on Saturday evening she made her first appcaranco in public. She was warmly greeted by an audienco pro disposed in her favor. Her performance may bo counted a success. She has a pure soprano voice, clear and ringing the upper register, anu Lor style iB good.

Few debutants havo started with better promise, and wo may expect to see the lady take a prominent position among our American prima donnas. The lady received the usual honors in tho shape of calls before the curtain, and floral tributes ol ridiculous dimensions. Signor Baragli, tho new tenor, met with a qualified success. His voice is of good quality, wbat thero is of it. In tho Concert room, or in light opera in a email theatre, where ho could bo heard to advantage he would be a valuable acquisition.

His voico la very sweet and pleasing in tone, and ho sings with admirablo expression, but it lacks volumo and power. His small voico is lost in tho vasine3S of the Academy. He hasn't the limhre for a primo tenore. Antonucci's Count rodolpho was a superb performance. Miss Stockton was an acceptable Lisa.

Tho next regular season of opera will commence on the 27th of November, and will consist of six perform ances, givon one night a week. In tho interim Maret zok announces that on his return from Philadelphia on route for Boston, ho will tarry two nights in Brooklyn, namely on the 5th and Oth of Novembor, and give us Faust and L'Eliair d'Amore. In the latter Mdlle Ron coni, daughter of the great buffo, wilt mako her first appearance here. RiSTOiti. Madame Ristoti will make her fourth appcaranco in Brooklyn to morrow evening, in the role of Phedra, in Racine's tragedy of that name.

This is tho only role Madame Ristori has so far appeared in here in which Bho Bubjccts herself to comparison with Eachel, who played it in Now York. Ttio New York critics, so far as they have indulged in compiri. sons, appear to be divided in opinion as to the award ot the palm. The Pake Theatee. Mrs.

On Saturday evening standing room even was at a premium. Tho plays wero Ingomar, in which Mr. and Mrs. Conway sustained tho leading roles, and Eobctt Macairo.

To nipht "Aurora Floyd" will bo revived, with lira, Conway as the much married heroine, and Conway in his admirable impersonation of tho noble hearted Mcllish. Hooley's Opeea House. Neither tho opera nor the political excitement has had any effect on tho attendance hero.

Facts for the Voters of New York to Consider. Correspondence of tho Buoohlvn Eagle. Koire, October 8, 18M. TRAVEL IN GEORGIA. I am still stopping at this pleasant little Southern city.

Last week I mado a short trip down tho Coosa rivor to Grconsport, a landing in tho State of Alabama. The steamer was a Bmall affair, on the wheel barrow order; tho wheel being located behind instead of on tho Bide, as is usual on the Sound and North river. Tho water being low in the river, and tho steamer below tho banks, I could not got as fair a view of tho country ob I would have wiBhed to. Tho fertility of tho river in moBt places tho soil seemed ten or fifteen feet thick, composed of alluvial dopoBit from tho mountain regions, washed down during freshets. In many places thoso bottom lands appeared a mile wide.

There aro no towns or villages on tho banks. I went ashoro at some of tho landings and saw somo of tho agricultural implements used hero they are of rude construction and would havo caused a roar of laughter from your Flatbush and Flatlands farmer frieudo could they havo Been them. At least one lmif nf fhnsn rich lands wero uncultivated and grown up in rank weeds higher than your head. The want of capital, stock, and laborers as tno ireoumen can no longer bo depended upon is tho cause of all this desolation and waste. CHANCES FOR NORTHERN ENTERPRISE.

On the steamer wero somo ontorpriaing men from Illinois, who havo recently purchasod an iron mine at Blue Mountain the richest ore, it ib saw, intne union easy of access and inoxhaustablo in supply price paid. $40,000. Good judges say it is worth a million of dollars. Among my fellow passengers, with whom I became acquainted, was a merchant from Eome, on a specu lating trip down tho river to buy up dried peaches, for shipment to tho North. Ho informed mo that dried pcacheB could be bought for $2 50 to $2 75 per bushel.

Ho is a sharp, shrewd business man and, like mysolf, had served under Sherman during tho late war, dono garrison duty in Eomo, becatno attached to tho city and country, and intendB to make it his life home if the politicians will only let him do so. Ho is a native of Rhode Island, but lived in Illinois at the breaking out of the rebellion, and came here as a soldier from that State, has lived here over a year and as far as I could learn, has been successful in businoBs. He informed mo that with one or two oxceptlons ho had boon treated with the greatest kindness by the inhabitants, although it was generally known that ho was opposed to them during tho war. Also, that tho middle and upper classes were decidedly in favor of having Bottlers to locate among them, especially scientific and mechanical men. to develops the rich mines of gold, iron, coal, with which the country abounds.

If Congress would only give these people peace," said ho, the city of Romo would number 20,000 inhabitants in ton years." THE POLITICAL SITUATION. What will be the effect of the "Constitutional amendment" and Civil nights bill upon tho South asked "When Congress determines to pross those measures upon the Southern people," continued ho, "I'm going to pull up stakeB at onco and loave for tho North, and invest cither in gold or lands for thero is no telling how soon another war may break out, and the very first war will break down our currency and national debt The bucket is now brimming full, a few moro drops will cause it to overrun, or burst the bottom out, and we are a bankrupt nation. Tno soutnern poopio. continued he, aro not all fools, if thoy are impoverished by tho confiscation of their slave property. Thoy understand well enough that their old enemies, tho Radicals, havo the Senate and House harnessed and geared, and that whip in hand, they can drive tho government to ruin at tho drawing of tho lasb.

I talk ofton with them upon tho subject, and they all agree that this amend ment and bill aro prodigious blows aimed directly at them, and not as many would believe for tho benefit of tho poor negro. Disfranchise thoBo who aided and abetted in the rebellion continued he, and tho breaking nn of this Government Is a fixed fact. Ninc touths of tho Southern people took part or sympathised with tho South. Do you propose that they Bhould bo registered as sworn enemiCB of the government Thoy will halo tho government themselves in this event, and they will educate their children to halo it, and use all thoirinflu. enco to secretly undermine and destroy tho Union in the hopes that out of its fragments thoy can regain their liberties.

How could a Northern man expect to live among them and receive their patronage, when thoy knew that he was one of tho oppressors irom the land of their enemies 1 No, they would club together and Bhun him as one of the spies of the government, as a leper, or as one having a contagious diseaso. Two hundred thousand soldiers wouid be required to keop tho peace among them and to enforce tho laws it takes that number of Russians to keop Poland under, ana Poland is but (l small country compared with tho South. Tho South is disarmed, how could sho mako a resis tance says Well, as a matter of fact, this is not so. To bo sure they havo no cannon, but Bmall arms they havo any quantity of. Tho many battlo fields that they camo in possession of, gave thorn arms in abundance, and you will scarcely find a cabin in tho country without a muskot or two, and Colt's revolvers sent home during tho war ae trophies.

When I was in tho army, the boys used to find them concealed in hollow treos, and they wore all of Northern make. I then put the question, and asked him how he would act towards these people, in order to havo a speedy and lasting peace, as he had lived among them for somo timo, and had more experienco than thOBo who make hasty lours through the country.and catch at every story they hear, no mattor how imiobablo it is. These people says ho, ore as high strung as a race horse. I would treat them kindly, I would not treat thorn like a mule, they won't bear it too much English and Irish in their Wood. It is with a people as it is with an individual; in order to make them our friends, wo should mako them interested in our government.

That is my oxperionco of human noiure, and the quicker wo do so tho better. Thoy havo been out too long already, thoy seem to me almost bb a lost nation. Look around you as you travel, you see no flags, no emblems of nalionality, this grieves mo. Toko the yokes from the necks of theso people at once; admit their representatives to Songressi and let them know that thoy ore again citizens of the United States, and I will pledge my life that you will seo the old flag flutter again from overy flag staff in tho country, not as an emblem of triumph in tho hands of soldier garrisons, maintained at an enormous expense by our lax paying cltizons of tho Noitb, in order to carry out the cherished hatred of tho loaders of a Radical Con. gress.

But as an emblem of pcaco, union and pros perity, liberty and equality. How about, mo currency question? says I. Do they really wish to repudiate greenbacks and bonds? As regards bonds, BayB he, they aro too poor to buy them. But greenbacks they don't seem to shun much whenever they have anj thing to sell, as, for instance, cotton; they will try every Bforo in town to seo who will givo tho most of them for it, and when they want to buy, they will go the whole length of the town to reach mo because I will give the most goods for them, notwithstanding they know me to be a Yankee. The fact is, he continuod, they havo no other currency, and itisnot toboexp9ctod that they will ruin themselves in order to injure tho government, by advocating a measure that will leavo them penniless.

Last year we got in trade and shipped North all their gold and silver that they saved through the war, and they have no other money now but tho currency of tho country left, and if I felt at all anxious to test the matter, I had only to offer them one half iu greenbacks, what their plantations were worth before the war in gold, I could bo relieved of any quantities of them. More anon. Yours, truly, J. V. B.

The Evening Star Accounts of the Chief ingineer and Purser. This morning tho statemont of tho chief engineer and the diary of the purser of this ill fated vossel are given to the world, The engineer's statement begins with tho condition of the engine and boilers which he of course wouid understand. Ho says that they, and also the pumps wore in good workiug order at tho timo of leaving New York, and continued so until tho night of tho 2d of October. During that night, in which the violence of tho gale which had prevailed for a few days was considerably increased, the wheel houses were much injured, and early in tho morning of tho following day "tho straining of tho ship in the heavy aeas caused tho main stoampipo to break," but the engine continued to work for about two hours' thereafter. The donkey engine was thon storied to work tho steam pump, but in one hour and a half the stcampipe of Ua boiler also broko, and the water commenced "gaining veiy fast." By flvo o'clock in the morning all the engines wero stopped, and, trom tho purser's account, the caplain then informod tho passengers that tho vessel must go down, which she did in an hour afterwards.

The boats wero' prepared for launching, but "it was found utterly impossible to launch them ovor the side of tho ship, on account of the high seasBweeping tho deck from stem to stern." They were accordingly allowed to remain on dock, and the paBBengors crowded lntoBom. "When tho steanor sank tho life boata wore carried down with her, undoubtedly capsizing and throwing their occupants into the raging Bea." Tha engineer gives eevcrl expressions of his opinion in the couree of his statoment. He considers that "up to tho time the ongino stopped working, no ship over stood up better under such a tremendous hurricane and heavy Bca. The cause of tho atoppogo of the ongine was tho shipping of tho tremendous seas, which caused great volumes of water to teach the tiro room, extinguishing the flreB." He alBO pays a high tribute to Capt. Knapp and tho officers and passengerB on board.

As no fault is to be found with the machinery or management of tho vessel, whero does the blame, if any, rest? Hisaccountof tho last hours of tho vessel is coflrmod by that of the purser.

Schworg was taken bctorc Justice C'ornwoll on Saturday morning anil accused oi having committed a felonious assault upon Henry McCaffrey.

The accused gavo a different version of the affair. He eaid that McCaffrey and his friends entered the saloDU, were very disotdcrly in their behaviour, aud llmlly wound up with a fight. Ho ordered them out. but they refused to go. Some disinterested poisons who wero pieEent testified that there was no fight, and this testimony was corroborated by officer Utter, who said that oil was quiet when ho passed the saloon a second previous to the cry of murder.

A Card from Matthew Hale Smith, To the Editor of the Broakun Eagle: Sm: In your paper of the 10th vou publish an ortlclo from an anonymous writer assiiling an essay I gave before the Young Mon'a Ohristian asso ciiiuuu, uj, jl ucBuay last, xne criticism is oeneacn notice, as much is thereby ascribed to me that I nevor uttered in my essay. Tho virus of tho article comes out in the persona! attack on me in tho second paragraph, wuicu iu us ioiiows; Tho speaker with whom I am acnuatntnil nnlv hv sight, was as is well known to tho Brooklyn public, one who has filled during tho past two years alternate positions, of chaplain, independent preasher, of almost all denominations, lawyer, discoursed at considerable length and by contradictory arguments upon the Buojeci ioi wuicn dc was announced." Mv connection with "almost all denominations" is no doubt regarded by him as a blemish on my character. While tho public can have but little interest In my changes of faith, bo they many or few, it is quite proper if the lacts need do stuiea ai au, uiat moy no statou correcUy.

I was educated in tho faith of the DnivorBSIists, My father embraced that system when I was quite a lad. In pursuing my atudicH, I was placed iu tho homes of persons who belonged to that communion. I held that faith and preached' it till I becamo a Christian, I renounced it in 1840, and embraced the doctrinal opinions held by the Old School Presbyterians. From that hour to Ibis I havo changed no particle of my religious faith, less or more. I preach to day what I would have preached in 1810, aDd what I preached then I would preach now, and havo no idea whilo I have my senses that I shall ever abandon what I then and now do firmly belipvo to be tho system of truth revealed in tho Biblo.

My work on Universalism, published iu 1840, contains no doctrine or statement that I would modify or change. I have no sermon that I over wrote or preached that controverts one line or doctrine in that book. Your readers well know that many denominations have bo much in common that mon go from ono to tho other without a change of faith, as a man might remove from one town to another in tho same etato. A man may live in towns or States and yet neither change his business nor cease to bo an American. Tue Congregational, Reformed Dutch, Old and New School Presbyterian, tho Evangelical German and Lutheran, arc nearly all ono family, and ministers and members aro dismissed from one denomination to another.

I have preached often for each of theso denominations; but I have belonged officially to only two of thom, and in doiDg so havo never made any change in tho sor monn that were preached, nor in my faith. On my coming into the Evangelical family I mado tho acquaintance and enjoyed tho fellowship of different denominations. My first sermon was called for by the representatives of all sects in tho Evangelical family. I hold without reserve or abatement tho so called Evangelical faith. But I have small regard for denominational iBflues.

I would not turn my hand ovor to turn any one from any Church of Christ that ho has made his home, and where his spiritual wants are answered. It may be fortuno, or misfortune, but I havo long been on terms of good fellowship with all tho branches of ftho Church of tho Redeomer. I havo aided and shall continue to aid, all causes in which good men aro united. I havo preached, and do now preach in tho pulpitB of both branches of tho Presbyterian Church the Dutch Reformed tho Congrega. tional lho Baptist tho Methodist the Lutherau and German.

I should not object to miniBtor at the altar of tho Episcopalians, if their law allowed ono not ordained by tbeir Eishops to officiate in their houso of worship. I could make myself quite at homo in tho latter body. I care moro lor tho draught that is tendered to the parched lips of a dying man than I do for tho form or the name ot tho bowl that holds tho cooling beverage. So far, then, as this gonoral catholicity makes mo amenable to the chargo of numerous religious soniersaullB, I plead guilty. And the habit of independent thinking which I have, allows mo to offer no apology therefor.

Eutasto "numerous changings of my religious faith," in tho manner assertod, I plead not guilty, and "put myself on tho country." Matthew Hale Smith. The Fiiemen's Difficulty. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: In your paper of last Friday evening, I find a communication signed "3gvoh members of H. and L. which at first I intended not to notico, but to treat with tho contempt such a communication desorved.

Upon reflection, I consider it my duty, not ouly to my Belt, but also to tho Company which I represont, to refute their statement unworthy of consideration as it is, and coming as it does irom parties who havo not the courage or manlino6s to sign their names, but like cowardly assassins attack in the dark. Tho slandora of such noltrnniis amount to nothing. Thov assert "that if they wero in the habit of associating with the mombei'B of Hose 17, thoy could namo half the Company," I can as cum thom wa cnnKider it a creat credit that wo are not classed among their associates. Wo aro in tho habit of associating with better men. Thoy say "thoy can provo that the statements mode by me in your paper of Monday are faltc." I say to tliein, do so.

There is a tiibunal boioro which they can go and where justice will bo done.

Don't act tho coward part as you havo done genllomen.come outandahow yourselves ana give uiuho wuuiujuuwwm.u, nn rmnm hinita, nf mcetinu vou face to faco and hurling back into your teeth the false and slanderous charges you have made.

The Begistry To morrow The Right Spirit. To the Editor of the BrooUyn Eagle Dear Snt A few days ago, I read in one of the New York papers the opinion uttered by District Attorney A. OaMoy HaU, to the effect that the Board of Registry could, constitutionally, remain at their posts from 8 in the morning until 12 o'clock at night, which is but right, for the workingman cannot afford to loso a day for the purposo 01 registering nis nunie. one of the members of tho Board of Registry in tho Third District of the 11th ward, am willing to remain during the hours abovo named to moirow and cvory day tho Board of Registry sit, in order to givo my fellow citizens of tho working classes every facility to register their names.

It is but right that others who havo charge of tho different Boards of Registry (irrespective of party feelings) throughout tho city to do the same, for it is our duty to do all wo can to aid the workiugmcn, bo that thoy con register their names. I hope that overy Board of Registry in Brooklyn will remain at their posts from 8 A. M. to 12 P. then no man will complain or will bo debarred from voting on Tuesday, Nov.

The regular weekly meeting of this Association wa3 he'd Friday night ot their rooms, cor. of Court and Jo ralemon streets, and several mombors wore oleotod. Reports of committees wero then heard, Mr.

Meloni, for tho Fulton street commitlee, reported all stores closed punctually ot the hour of 7 P. M. Mr. Emmery, for Atlantic street, reported all stores closed on Atlantic street, excepr ono, and this would bo dosed as Boon as Fulton avenuo was clool; and that all merchants on Atlantic street wore willing to closo when all other dry goods stores wore closed. Mr.

Candce, for Fulton avenue, reported all willing to close except two, who said they wero not willing to closo. Mr. Harrell, for Myrtle avcuue, reported that all stores wero willing to close as soon as Fultou avenue closed, except one. The elcctiou tor Recording Secretary was thou taken up, which resulted, aftor several ballots, in a majority OI lour votes for Mr. H.

S. Reynolds. Tho couimittoo on resolutions to Tlieo. Cuylor, D. then submitted tho following resolutions, which wero unanimously adopted To Thco.

Cuykr, B.D.: Having listened with pleasure to the address delivered by you on the 30th ultimo, and particularly that part In reference to Early Closing Associations, showing lorth ably, iu a Christian liko manner, the bcnelitB that would be deiivid bv the merchants, the clerks and tho public if the movement bo auspiciously inaugurated (by the combined efforts of the cleiks, tho generous acquiescence ofpurt ol tho merchants, and tho vory material assistance rendered by lhat part i the public who transacted their business beforo 7 P. should be brought to a successful issue. W'e would, therefore, tonder you the Bincere tbonka of tho members of this Association for your manilost desire for our welfare. Mr. Burke, of the N.

York Early Closing Association, then addressed tho meeting. Ho said that to be successful the members should bo unanimous in thoir endeavors, they should stand by oach other and bottle together. Tho New Yorkors had a great many moro difficulties to contend with than Brooklyn had, but they had been very successful, and only by unanimity and determination. He advised the uso of all moral suasion; if then they were not successtnl, to mako tho refractory merchants closo, and not allow thom to bo tho means of breaking up tho movement. Mr.

Wm. H. Acres then followed in some lengthy remarks, iully endorsing tho advice of Mr. Burke. He said that EarlyClosingAssociations fcro springing up oil 0 nnd that thoy looked to Now York and Brooklyn as being the headquarters of such move menta Ho advised tho clerks to bo de termined, and if So octory merchants would not be induced to closo by persuasion, that if they wore put to some oxenae nerhaps thoy Would bo moro willing to closo; that by means more was gained in Now York than in ooy 0tMr Emmery then followed with some remarks, saying that they bad exhausted all persuasive arguments, that thoy had tried persuasion for over throe months with only partial success.

Ho said ho thought it was highly necessary to employ somo other means. Ho closed by moving that a Committee of twonty men be oppomted for Fulton ovenue; a Committoe of twenty lor Myrtle; a Committee of ten each for Fulton and Atlantic streets. The motion was carried and tho Committee instructed to close up tho stores in some way or "'onmotton of Mr. Anderson, a Committeo of three was appointed to wait upon tho merchants, and solicit pecuniary aid, as tho association stood very much in need of money to offect tho closing of some stores. After some other unimportant busineBS, tho mooting adjourned at 10.10.

Conservative Mass Meeting on Fort Geeene. A meeting was held on Saturday evening at the house of the President of tho Twentioth Ward Johnson Club, Mr. Garret P.

Register. No voter whoso name is not registered can vote at the coming election. To secure the enrollment of your name, your personal attendance on the Board of Registrars in your election district is necessary. The fact that you are a qualified voter, and that your name was on last year's list will not secure the enrollment of your name now.

A new registry will be made out, and only the names of those who attend in person will bo placed upon it, The Board of Registrars will meet in the several election districts TO MORROW, and will remain in session during the day, and up to a late hour at night. Naturalized citizens must produce then papers, if called upon to do so, as evidence of their citizenship. The law is an iniquitous one, inasmuch as it excludes other legal evidence of oitizenship. See that your name is registered, if for nothing else, that you may have the privilege of voting against the party responsible for this law. Veby Affectionate.

Our English cousins are growing very loving. At a cable banquet at Liverpool the speakers alluded to the United States in the most endearing terms, wo are the natural allies of England, bound to her by ties of kindred, jointly interested with her in the great work of civilizing the world, and so on, all of which we appreciate of course. These English orators must have very bad memories or else they must think Amerioans have. It is hardly two years since a very different tone pervaded the speeches of public men and the columns of the English press, and American experience of English unfriendliness has been too sore to be forgotten in so short a time. The London Times is more sensible and practical in its friendly overtures, in suggesting to Lord Stanley tho re opening of the question of the Alabama claims with a view to their adjustment.

That is it; short reckonings make long friends. Let England pay up the score we have against her, after which we may follow the example of Captain Cuttle when Mr. Toots requested that ancient to bestow his acquaintance upon him, take her cousinlv overtures into consideration, and when we make up our minds, let her know. Internal Revenue. On Saturday last wo published a supplemental list of incomes re turned by the Assessor of the Third District, William E.

Robinson, to the Collector, in addition to the regular annual list sent to the Collector in August last. The tax payable to the government in this supplemental list amounts to over one hundred thousand dollars, rnd with the regular annual list makes the amount of income in this district about two millions, and with a few other returns entered on the monthly list, includes all who have made voluntary returns of income, We understand that the Assistant Assessors have been engaged in preparing another list, which will be delivered to Mr. Robinson in a few days, in which every person of the district, living in a style apparently over the rate of SGOO a year and house rent, and who has mado no return of income, plate, musical instruments, will be assessed on tho best es timate possible and the penalty added. This list will contain some thousands of delinquents to all of whom Mr. Robinson will give notice.

The amount of the tax and penalty will bo stated in the notice. Those who want to havo the amount of tax reduced or remitted will have to appear before Mr. Robinson and make return under oath as those voluntarily appearing have done, or the amount and penalty assessed by the Assistants will be confirmed and cannot afterwards be altered or remitted ex cept on application to Washington. Mr. Rob inson is determined that, so tar as ins power, the law shall reach every person, and shall fall equally on all.

Three murders have been committed in this city and vicinity during the past two weeks, to neither of which is there the slightest clue to the perpetrators. The murder at Astoria and on the Centreville Course were perpetrated in solitary places; but in this city a policeman is shot down in a populous neighborhood in the night, to be sure but with two fellow officers almost within hail at the time. It is a rather uncomfortable subject for reflection that lite should be so completely at the mercy of the assassin in this day of modern improvements in the law and polico systems. The discovery of the perpetrators of deeds like this affoid some consolation and feeling of security, as we argue that if murderers are hanged, men will not be so rea dy to commit murders hereafter the vision of the gallows exerting a wholesome restraining influence over their guilty souls, It is consoling, too, to cherish that exploded aphorism, that "Murder will out," These un detected climes upset this cherished convic tion, and impairs that sense of security which is so essential to our enjoyment of life. The Now York Times has a dispatch which says that Gov.

Seymour recently declared that if ho lived at the South now he would be an advocate of negro suflrage. We aie satisfied that if the South had demanded that the ex slaves should vote after the close of the war, the Radicals would have been foremost in denouncing the "insolence' of tho "rebels" who had the audacity to ask tho franchise for a class whose votes they wer, certain to control. Whatever the South may not want is what the Radicals do want, Governor Seymour is no dobut misrepresented. If it were otherwise, the Radicals would at once chango their pro. gramme.

The Radicals are in the exact posi tion of the Dutchman, who put in an appear once at a Savings Bank, upon which there was a "run," demanding his money if the bank had not got it, but adding that if the bank had it, he did not want it. What he Meant. Mr. Raymond, who is still wriggling like a skinned eel in the political fiying pau, has had re published a letter he wrote on the 17th of July last, in relation to the Philadelphia Convention, to show that he never meant to join the Democratic party. To anybody who knows Raymond, the idea is absurd that Raymond knew in July what he was going to do in August; or that he had made up his mind in September where he would be in October.

He is always saying one thing and doing another; as to what he means, that is past anybody's comprehension; it is doubtful whether he knows himself. The opponents of President Johnson are jubilant over the fact that there is an apparent division in the Conservative ranks in this county. They forget that Democrats, at all events, have a happy knaek of sinking past disputes on the first sight of the common foe. Wc trust that the next few days will show that they have not lost it. An hour of conciliation in our own councils now, will be worth 6000 votes on election day.

No Democrat will atand in the way of the harmony which it is a crime to mar at this crisis. Let the local leaders get together and light the calumets of peace. Kings County never failed when called upon to do battle for tho Constitution and tho Union, she must not now. If Sim Chittenden with his narrow views and vicious politics is to represent ns in Congress, it will require a sackful of affidavits to establish our claims to be the legitimate successors of the men who have gone before us. MONDAY EVENING.

OCT. 15. This paper has the Largest Circulation of any Evening Paper published in the United States. Its value as an Advertising Jlledium is therefore Apparent. The Temper of the South and the Pro.

posed Radical Amendments. We publish in another column a lettar from Georgia, none the loss deserving of attention because it comes from a private citizen an ex soldior of the army of the Union who appears to have no other purpose in view than, to state truthfully what he has seen and heard illustrative of the present condition of the South and of the temper of its people. Accepting the statements of our correspondent as accurate, there is now a magnificent opening in the South for the energy and enterprise of Northern settlers, and they are welcomed by the classes which, the Eadicals toll us, have always exercised absolute political control In that section. The dominant party in Congress declare that all that is necessary to secure permanent security for the two classes which their legislation is aimed mainly to benefit the Union men of the South and the negroes is acquiescence in the conditions of restoration the Eadicals, at all events, pretend to favor. If the Southern States accept the proposed Constitutional amendments the way to the admission of their representation in Congress is open.

There is great virtue in nn if. If the South should not accept them, what then? The South must be held within the Union under military authority the maintenance of civil government will be impossible, and so far as the South is concerned Kepublican government will bo at an end. If it could be shown that the purpose for which the war was waged necessitated this sad alternative, the people would bo prepared to accept it. But does it? If the war was waged for the Union, the Union can now be restored. If it wa3 intended to embrace the destruction of the system of negro slavery, that too has been accomplished.

What more is demanded Guarantees for the future" is the Radical answer. But will the so called amendments afford us these guarantees. It is not seriously supposed by any man, that the payment of the national debt will bo one whit more secure should the South agree to have it declared in the Constitution that our just debts shall not be repudiated. Is there (he most remote possibility that the rebel debt will be assumed whatever the wishes of the South may be on that subject The amendment which excludes negroes from the basis of population, unless1 they are allowed to vote on the same conditions as the whites, will, it is true, cut down the present representation of the South from sixty eight to forty members, but if it is unsafe to admit sixty eight representatives, is it perfectly safe to admit forty? Is it worth while to brave all the dangers of a prolonged alienation of the'South for tho sake of excluding twenty eight Southern members from Congress while the two States of New York and Pennsylvania nlone, have a representation equal to the ten States still denied representation? With this preponderance of political power on the part of the North, is it not evident that it is of the North, and not of the South, the Eadicals are afraid But representation in the Senate cannot be changed. In the more important body no change is contemplated, and to the Radicals is left tho task of explaining the consistency of cutting down the representation of tho South to forty eight members in the House of Representatives, while admitting nearly half as many membeis to the Senate, where thirty seven members constitute a majority.

If tho Radicals are afraid of the South, can they favor the admission of twenty of her representatives to the Senate? If they are not afraid, why exclude the twenty eight representatives, to which she is now entitled, from the House of Representatives But, says Mr. Greeley, who avows that the amendments are not the Mid, but the means to the end, under the temptation to acquire political power, the South will give the ballot to the negro. Is it not just as likely that the amendment will work in an exactly opposite direction, and, instead of benefiting the negro, tend to embitter public feeling against him? Under the Constitution as it is, the Southern States secure political power through the negro population. It is, under Mr. Gree ley's argument, to their interest to keep this population among them.

But suppose tho negro is excluded from the basis of representa tion, a desire for increased political power will induce the South to get rid of this class of its population, and to supply its place with an other. Instead of devising laws to make the negro contented, his interests will bo alto gether disregarded, and public opinion, more poweiful than law, cannot fail to bo directed against a class which the Radicals are content to fee excluded from the body politic altogether. The most objectionable amendment, to the South, is that under which all those who were the prominent in public atl'airs in that section in the past are to be excluded from all political power in the future. That tho population of the South, with a unanimity seldom equaled, participated in the rebellion, there is no room to doubt. The length of time the strugalo was continued, the military power arrayed and sustained in its interest, prove this.

Wo now ask the South to agree to disgrace the men who30 worst offence is that they were the accepted leaders in a cause in which nine tenths of the Southern people were engaged. In other words, we ask the South, not only to submit to the legitimate results of the war, but to pronounce the cause in which their fathers, sons and brothers died, so unholy that even forgiveness after submission is not to be expected. Is there a probability that this will be acceded to, and even if it were, what additional security would it afford us? Tlie representative men of tho South would be excluded from all offices, State and Federal. They would have a standing grievance to complain of. They would not enjoy tho full rights of American citizens.

That this class, composed as it would be of representative men, would never be heartily loyal to the government that excluded them from its full privileges, is certain. That they would educate a public sentiment hostile to it is equally certain. The Radicals ask, what can the South do? Nothing now. In no event is there any fear of a renewal of strife now on the part of tho South. Thatfcction is as prostrate beneath our power as Ireland ever was beneath the heel of England.

But who can predict what the future has in store for us We are now at peace with the world. No power on earth dare insult us. Was it so while tho two sections were at strife Will it be so if the possibility of residing peace between them is conceded? Tho conclusion arrived at by our correspondent is supported not Hot alone by his own testimony, but by all wo know of human nature, and by all the teachings of 1 istory. "They (the Southern peo "ple) have been out too long already; they "seem to me almost as a lost nation. "Look around as you travel, you see no flags, "no emblems of nationality.

This grievos me. "Take the yokes from the necks of these people at once; admit their representatives to Con gress, and let thorn know that they are again "citizens of the United States, and I will pledge my life that you will see the old flag flutter again from every flag staff fin the country, not as an emblem "of triumph in the hands of a soldier garrison but as nn emblem of peace, Union, "prosperity, liberty, and equality." If New York throws her weight on the side of this poli he was promptly attended to, and is now doing as well on board the vessel that picked thom up, till their ar aa could ho expocted under tho circumstances, rival ot Savannah..
