The bill admitting negroes to testify on the

The ex-rebel Gen. Lcmgstreet has expressed 
hie opinions on the Reconstruction plan in the 
eolumim of the New Orleans Times. He says 
there is no humiliation attached to an acceptance 
of the terms proposed by Congress, and he has 
no reason to doubt that such an acceptance in 
good faith will secure the re-ad mission of the 
Southern States.

A NEW QUARTER OF THE RURAL 
Begin n April 6,—ft good time for new clubs or addi¬ 
tions to old ones to commence, the ugh we can still 
furnish back numbers from Jan., or subscriptions 
may date from Fob. or March 1st. March Is a good 
month In which to fill up Premium Clubs already 
begun, and also to form new ouea. There are hun¬ 
dreds of localities In which chibs may yet lie organ¬ 
ized and Rewards of Merit secured, Otjr former Pre¬ 
miums are continued, and several new ones added,— 
(son part in Ri:hal of 9th. and bill list In Supplement.) 
fST" All whose subscriptions expire this week 
(March 30.) will find the number, 897* after name on 
address label, and will of course understand that, 
unless promptly renewed, their papers will be discon¬ 
tinued under our advance payment rui We trust all 
will renew, and that each will, if convenient, induce 
at least one new recruit to join the Rural Brigade. 
iininB is considerable mystery about the erec 
tion of a monument to Aaron Burr, in the cem¬ 
etery at Princeton, N. J. His dust lies elsewhere. 
It la said by residents that the slab was secretly 
brought to Princeton only a few weeks since, 
and raised at midnight by unknown hands. 
A North Carolina correspondent of the 
Rural corrects the statement that the last 
Revolutionary soldier ia dead. There la one 
living in Concord, Cabarrus Co., in that State, 
named -John L. Rrowu. lie is one hundred and 
three years old, “enjoys perfect health and chops 
all the wood for the family.” 
A sad affair is reported from Tlouston, Texas. 
Two young men, tinsmiths, were waiting for 
their dinner, and to while away the time began 
to play with an Old bombshell which they had 
got out of the bayou, into which a large number 
were thrown at the surrender. It exploded, 
woundiDg both of the young men fatally.

Tim Lafayette (lud.) Courier says;'—“It is 
reported that a diamond of immense value was 
found in the Tippecauoo River, near Monticello, 
on Monday. The value of the precious stone 
wu» first estimated at $250,000. Subsequent in¬ 
vestigation reduced it to $25,000, and a later and 
more scientific observation places the figures at 
$10,300.” 
The collicra of Schuylkill Co., Pa., are banded 
togctlier for the purpose of controlling the mines, 
and have committed serious outrages. One Su¬ 
perintendent has been murdered, and others are 
threatened. Tbe ruffians arc mostly Irishmen, 
and ore known as “ Molly Maguires.” It is im- j 
possible to punish them, as they have confed¬ 
erates in every jury that can be emp&nnclcd. 
The Irish enthusiasm in New York has all 
subsided, and the late rebellion in Ireland Is 
conceded to have been a disgraceful failure. The 
only party who receive any attention are those 
who favor an invasion of Canada. Several meet¬ 
ings have been held on the subject of an early 
invualon, and stops ure being taken that look 
something like work.

From Now York. 
On Monday, the 18th, the Irish Catholic 
citizens of New York celebrated St. Patrick’s 
day with a grand procession of their various 
fraternities, which ended in a riot in Grand 
Btreot. A truckman, who Lad offended the pro- 
eeesionifttft by being on the street with his truck 
when they were passing, in attempting to turn 
off into a cross street was set upon by numbers 
of them, and badly beaten. Policemen who 
came to his assistance were assaulted, one of the 
mounted marshals of the processiou using his 
sword with terrible effect, and several of them 
aro now lying in a critical condition. 
March 2T—The storm of Thursday was the 
severest known here in five years. There was 
no signs at an early hour this morning of its 
abating.

The United States Consul at Antwerp has 
informed the Secretary of State of the breaking 
out anew of the rinderpest, that fearful scourge 
which swept over the greater part of Europe last 
year. Secretary McCulloch has Issued circulars 
to Collectors of Customs cautioning them to be 
on their guard and prevent the landing of for¬ 
eign neat cattle and hides. The English papers, 
however, Btate that the plague has entirely dis¬ 
appeared from Great Britain. The European 
Times says: — “No case occurred during the 
week ending March 2 — the first time that there 
has been an entire absence of reports since the 
outbreak first commenced.”

to those relating to the registry, no person being 
allowed to vote whose name is not recorded. 
He says, as the preliminaries to boldine conven¬

commanding officer, and as there Is no appeal 
from tbe registry, those in control of it may so 
act as to prevent the election of sncli delegates 
as may faithfully represent tbe wishes and senti¬ 
ments of the State in the convention to be called 
to frame a new constitution.

Richmond, March 23.—It is authoritatively 
announced that General Leo is strongly in favor 
of tlio people voting for a convention, and says 
every man not actually disfranchised should not 
only take tlio necessary steps to prepare himself 
to vote, but to prepare all his friends, white or 
colored, to vote right. Ho thinks co-operation 
of all the people, officials and citizens, should 
be promised, and that the chief object should be 
to get as quickly and quietly as possible back 
into the Uniou with such rights as are left us. 
ne thinks the oath proposed is such as every 
good citizen not disfranchised, ought now to be 
able to take as a simple matter of truth and duty 
as a citizen ol' the country.

whites, 10,958; destitute blacks, 13,421.

Whkat and Flour.— There has been a good deal of 
activity In the wheat and flour market*, both cast and 
west, of late, and prices have advanced. This ad. 
vanee Is mainly caused by the reported light stocks in 
all parts of the country. We have repeatedly Btated in 
these columns that the supply of good wheat would be 
found to be light this spring, notwithstanding the asser¬ 
tion occasionally made In the papers that western fann¬ 
ers were holding a large amount, in reserve. The advance 
In wheat in Milwaukee In the last eight days has been 
fnlly 20c, per cental. The advance in flour Lu the Boston 
market during the same time was from 50e. to *1 per bbl. 
on the various grades. At St. Louis and Chicago the 
market lias advanced, and wheut is In active demand. 
There are some reports that the late cold weather in¬ 
jured the growing wheat somewhat, at the West and 
Southwest, but most of the statements wc have noticed, 
aud those from 60 urocs we deem most reliable.concur in 
representing the prospect unusually fair for a large yield 
of wheut the coming fall. 
Buttkb.—T he price of butter has tended downward 
for nomc time. At the East tbe lower grades are In large 
supply. It Is generally believed that there is a pretty 
good supply of butter In the country, and therefore 
speculators have not evinced a disposition to purchase 
largely for the last week or two at current rates.
