Gladstone has issued ‘is address to the electors of South Lancashire, After reviewing the progress of reform in England he proceeds to criticize the course of the government, especially con- Gemning the increased estimates. In regard to Ireland he says the true policy would be to make the law the friend of the Irish people. He repudiates the Proposition for a general endowment of the churches in Ireinnd, and says the case against the Estab- lished Church is aggravated by the fect that dt is the church of the rich. The arguments in favor of its continuance are a satire on mis- applied funds. The Established Church is a mark of past oppression. Disesiablishment will give the The interests of the Irish people must be cared for, The revenue Must be applied to public and social works and not religious establishments. . “Mr. Gladstone closes with an appeal to the voters of South Lancashire to support the only just policy which Engiand can puraue.

ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 9, 1868. General Meade has issued the following order, No. 27, which distributes the forces under his command to points where he deems it necessary to enforce the laws and preserve order. The order says:— Whereas, by an act of the Congress of the United States, approved March 2, 1865, it is made the duty of the military authorities to preserve epee it oie polls 8 any election that may be lield in any tate; an Whereas this duty has become more im itive from the existing political excitement in the pub- Ue mind, from the recent organization of the civil government, and from the fact that Congress has by statutes prohibited the organization of military forces in the several States of this department; it is therefore ordercd—{Here foilows the distribution of the troops and instructions to district commanders.) ‘District commanders will tustruct post command- ers in their utes and the relative position of the civil and military powers; they will impress upon post commanders that they are to act in ald and co-operation, and in subordination to the civil au- thorities; that they are to exercise discretion and judgment, unbiased by political or other prejudices; that their object should be exclusively to pre- serve tie ace, uphold. law and order; they miuat be satisfied that that Is the object of the civil oilicer calling on them for ald; they muetin all cases, When tine wlil permit, apply for instructions to superior authority; but they must at all hazards pre- serve the peace and not be restrained by technical points when in thelr ludgment, under the rules above ‘set forth, 1t ia their duty to act. ‘Post commanders ou being notified of the pro- posed holding of political meetings may send an ofMicer, and 1 necessary @ detachment, to watch the proceedings and see that peace is preserved ‘Yo the people of the several States corap! iz the department the Major General commanding appeals that they will co-operate with him and the civil authorities in sustaining the law and order, in pre- servil ce and avoiding those scenes of riot and bloodshed and wanton destruction of property and life which have already in some ices been enacted inthe department. He urges abstinence frota all inflammatory and incendiary appeals to passion, discouutenances the keeping open ef liquor sh« on days of potitical meetings and elections; the staining from cerrying arms and assel the right of the individual to construe the law by force ot arms. No just cause ts ever advanced by resort to violence. Let there be charity and forbearance am political opponents, whatever may be the result. Let each citizen determine that all who under the jaw have a right to the ballot box shall exercise it undisturbed, and if there are disputed points of law let them be_ referred to the courts, and let not mobs or political clubs or other irresponsible bodies consirue and undertake to execute the law. This a 1 is made in the earnest h that the Major General command. ing can rely on the good sense and correct judgment of the mass of the people, and that he may not be compelled to resort to the exercise of the power with which he ts entrusted and which he must reluc- tantly emplgy. But he thinks it his duty to make it known that so far as the power under his command wilt admit he will not permit the peace to be broken, and that he will not restrained in the conacien- tious discharge of his duty by technicalities of law made when tie present anomalous condition of affairs was not anticipated or provided for.

In conversation with a friend to-day Ohief Justice Chasé tok occasion to deny, in the most emphatic manner, ‘he statements made by republican papers 8 day or two Since that he favored the election of Grant and Colfé¥, The Chief Justice thinks it duc to his oMcial position to stand aloof from the coming Political struggle for the Presidency. 11 the cover sation had to-day Mr. Chase stated (hat tld excess practised by the republicas party during the past two or three years dia not by any means meet his approval, and he is of the opinten that thes# ex- treme measures had the effect of driving thousauds of moderate republicans from their ranks, In alled- ing to the democratic candidates fie said that he regarded Mr. Seymour as an able aud honest man, and did not doubt that if elected he would adminis- ter the affairs of the government upon strictly con- stitutional principies. The Chief Justice also spoke very highly of General Grant, The Camila Riot Report. Tue report of the Camilla riot received by General Howard to-day contains, it is alleged, substantially the same account as the report submitted by Goneral Meade to the Secretary of War, with the exception, perhaps, of the remarks made thereon by General Meade in transmitting the report. Both were writ- ten by Captain Mills, who was detailed upon the duty by General Sibley. Rawmored Naturalization Treaty with England. There is @ pleasant rumor about the White House, which, however, lacks confirmation, that Mr. Reverdy Johnson has signed a naturalization treaty between the United States and Great Britain. However this fact may be, there 1s every reason to believe that it is ® measure upon which the two governments are now diligeatly engaged, The Parchase of St. Thomas Treaty. Tt will be remembered that tn July last the Senate adjourned without acting upon the treaty so promptly ratified by Denmark for the cession to the Unitea States of the island of St.Thomas. The lim!- tation for the ratification having expired, the Presi- dent in September last proposed to the Danish gov- ernment that the period for the ratification by the United States should be enlarged one year, in order that the Senate might be afforded time to act upon the treaty. The cable telegram relative to the post- ponement of the cession ts by the State Department understood to mean that Denmark has accepted the President's proposition.

O. HOWARD, Commisgioner. McPHERSON BARR. Ty iy Sept. 20, 1803, Brevet Brigadier General Dunw, Atlanta, Ga.:— GeNeral—I have the honor to report, in com- pliance with official ordera from headquarters, De- er of the South. 1 proceeded to Camilla on he 23d instant fo investigate ccourrences at that ace on the 19th instant. I respectfully report as O10W8 t— fow days previous to the 19th inst. notices wore A cirenlated in ougherty and Mitchell counties that @ republican meet! Would be held at Camitia, Ga, on that day, and W, P. Fete, candidate for ee for that district; John Murphy, candldate for Elector for We District of Putney, and others would address the meeting, That pursuant ib & Lhe Loliog ® | bers auccedded in getting of pind - rlomd persons front » Ga, and the neighborh Cams... ceeded in a body to that [nd mu ans and a& is crowd nut from two to three hundred colored peopie, one-half of whom may have carried fere:.t descriptions. ‘That when within from two to three miles of Camilla they were met by M. 3. 5 Sherif of Mitcheil county, accompanied by four or five citizens of Camilla, who protested against thelr entering the town with arms, clat , in accord- ance with a late proclamation of the Governor, that he was empowered to demand that they do not enter the town with arms. ‘This demand of the Sheri’ Was replied to by Messrs. Piereo and Murphy, ou bo- half of the crowd, by their stating that they were not an organized body and in no way under control oi any leader; that the persons wits arms carried them of their own accord, and assured the Sheri? and the eitizens of Camilia with him that they were going to Camilla for the purpose of attending @ political mect- fag, and their intentions were peaceable and witit- out mmtent to disturb the peace of the place, I Weuld respectiuily call your attention to the en- closed aftidavits of W. O. Pierce, John Murphy, F. FP, Putriey and W. &, Poore, Sheriff of Mitchell county, for a full understanding of what took place between the Sherif and the freedmen at this time. From the aflidavit oy the Shersr it would be seen that he eon- aidered the sttitude of the crowd a hing the town of such @ character as to induce him to return to the town and prepare the citizens against an at- tack by directing them as a posse to have their arms ready in case he should call upon them to assist him in preserving the peace. Ihave been unable to ob- tain any evidence that these colored people going to Camiils on that day were citier instructed or advised by any one to carry arms with thom, either for the purpose of defence or violence, or that they seriously expected an interruption from holding their meet- ing, although in some of the aM@daviis it is alley that one James Johns, a white citizen of Camila, had frequently said that a republican meeting should be held at Camilla, and on this day this man, armed with a gun, met the crowd some three miles from the town, and told them they should have no meet- ing or speaking at Cavoilla, and that if they came into the town they should be hart, Upon the crowd entering the town en route to the court house they were met by this man Johns, who was intoxicated and armed with a gon. He was boisterous, angry in his manner and ordered the musicians in the wagon to stop playing; his orders were not obeyed. In some of the enciosed atidavits it is stated he then fired his gun at the people in the wagon, by others ihat his gun was discharged pone | and not in the direction of the wagon. However this may be, the result of the discharge of this man’s gun was an immediate fire from both colorec peopie and the citizens of the place, It is admicted by all persons that this man’s gun was the firat one fired, and that it was discharged without provocation. In conversation with the citizens of Camilla this man Johns was described tome as a drunken and dan- gerous man and frequently in difficulties, and 28 one whose acts they deprecated, and that on this day he was intoxicated. Under these circumstances it can- not but be considered neglectful on the part of the Sheriff in not seelng that this man Johus was kept out of the way on that day, paritculariy as he was drunk and as he (the Sherif) seems to have appre- hended so much trouble from the approaching crowd and the excitement existing among citizens of the lace. For atull understanding of the occurrences om the time the Sherif met the crowd advancing in the road to town til firing commenced, 1 me fully call attention to the enclosed atlidaviis of bovi citizens of Camilla and_ persons who went there to attend the meeting. So far as it was possible to learn, the causalties on that day were as follows:— Nine killed (colored), from twenty-five to thirty wounded (colored). Several citizens of Camitla (white) were wounded, but none severely. From the enclosed statements of parties present tt will be seen that the firing 4a town did not continue many minutes, but the colored people fled to the adjoining woads, and that they were followed by citizens as a posse of the Sheriil’s, some of them mounted and some on foot, and that tiring of guns through the woods was heard durisg the balance of the day. ‘The Sheriff in his aMcavit states that three colored men were killed one mile from the town. Thave been unable to find any proof that the col- ored people who went that day to Camilla were ad- vised by any of the white men who accompanied them, or who addressed them, either to go armed for defence or violence; bu? that, on the contrary, the enclosed afiidavits show that Messrs, Pierce, murphy. and Putney all advised and impressed upon them that they should be peaceful aad law abiding in ali their acts, as they were meeting in this place (Camilla) in exercise of thelr rights as citizens of the inited States. That the citizens of the town of Albany were in any way connected with the oceur- rences at Camilia on the 19th tat. is in no way proven. It is explained in the affidavit of the sheriff that notice of some colored ple having left Albany on the evening of the isth inst, for Camilla was received by him through a Voge living in the adjoining town of Newton, This is in no de- nied. By reference to tle afidavit of Peter Hines, the leader of the band, it will be seen that the musi- cians, with other freedmen, left Albany on the even- ing of the 18th. I herewith transmit proceedings ot eee of the citizens of Albany held on the I will state that information was freely rendered me by all parties. 1 was accompanied by Brevet Major O. H. Howard, Sub-Assistant Commissioner, from Albany to Camilla, and from what I could learn the colored people and whites were peaceably dis- ed towards each other, In my investigation on his matter I was materially assisted by Major How ard, and wpon my arrival at Camila the citizens of that place appeared desirous that the occurrences on the 19th inst. should be investigated, and up to the date of my visit here no action had been taken in the matter by the civil authorities of the county, nor had any inquest been held over the bodies of those killed. p enkaty, sania * espec » your o servan' fe WInLtaat MILLS, Captain Sixteenth United States infantry, HORRIBLE TRAGEDY IN BROOKLIVE, MASS.

Une of the most{painful and appalling tragedies which has startled the community for a iong time took place in the village of Longwood, in the town of Brookline, about four miles from Boston, at an early hour this morning. The act was produced by imsanity on the part of the perpetrator, ani the vic- tims are his two little cons, for whom he entertained the greatest affection in his sane momenta. The circumstances, as they appear upon investiga- tion, are that Mr. George L. Richardson, during the Intense heat of last summer, wae exposed to the sun in such @ manner as to become a victim of sun- stroke, ever since which time ke has suffered mental depression, and for the past week or ten days he has been too ill to engage in business, but was not during this time confined to his house. His friends were anxious about him on account of these pre- monitory symptons mental de ment, bat there was not the slightest fear entertained of its as- suming apy violent or @angerous form. Last ovon- ing he retired early, and at about one o'clock this morning bis wife awoke and found him very nerv- ous. Ine few moments he got up from his bed, ‘a razor from hig a cage, and going into an ad- joming room, where his two sons, Henry and Goorge, ‘were sleeping, he instantly cut the throat of Henry from ear to Car, roducing almost immediate death, and then attem) In the same manner to kill his second son.

He was found this forenoon In his own barn under the hay, and taken to the Insane Asylum in Somerville, When he wae found te was laboring ‘under great mental ression, and though unaware of the deed that he had perpetrated, was impressed with the sense of havimg committed some great crime, Mr, Richardson has a wife and four children. ‘The lad who is dead was @ youth of about fonrteen ears of age and beloved by all. His sudden death as thrown the deepest grief upon his circle of ac- qnatntances, by whom he was es ed for his many noble traits of character. Yr. Richardson's love aud care for his children were something more than fatherly. He was their friend and confidant, partici- pating in all their plans and enjoying with them the pleasures of a very happy home. He was himself a man of decided religious character, being at the time of the above sad occurence @ deacon in the Orthodox charch at Brookline. Continued ill health, acting upon anutore natura'ly sensitive, created mental deranse- ment, which Is the only explanation to be given of this truly sad aifair, In the immediate neighborhood of this sad event, among those who knew him best, there has been @ tender and genial expression ot sympathy for the wife and family thus suddenly and feartuily bereaved. in ivess circles Mr. Richardson +{is well known, having been for about forty years promt- nently engaged as a Shippin merchant, banker, &c., in the city of Boston, ‘or the past few years he has been identified with the well known frm of Page, Richardson & Co., on State street, in this city.

Her impersonation of “Piiwdra’? might be safely classed with any of the more familiar ones which she has yet sustained. At thnes she rose to excellence, and held the audience almost spell- bound by her majestic performance. Nor waa she less effective in the more emotional passages of the piece, and throughout the entire evening she was re- warded with the loud tokens of approbation, having to appear before the curtuin at the termination of every act. She was ably assisted by the cocipany, and altogether “Phwdra” was credilably performed. Oscar Guttman, with a little less wild gesticuiation, represented the character of ‘theramen with com- mendable judgement. There was @ fair attendance in every part of the house.
