But the quotation, as printed, was very defective. The auti-ncgro riots in Memphis have resulted in the destruction of all the churches wherein Blacks tried to worship God, and all the school-houses wherein they were trying to educate their children. It ism't pretended that anybody tried or wished to destroy White men's churches or their children’s school- houses, A dispatch in another ‘column gives the estimates made by the Controller of the Currency of the receipts into tho public Treasury during the present and the coming fiscal years, We suppose they will be found considerably more favorable than has been generally expected, and if they should agree with the figures of the Secretary of the Treasury, Gov- omment securities are to be a good deal hl‘her than now, The actual receipts for tho ADVERTIS- | nta about the at- seph, Mo, | NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, MONDAY, MAY 7, 1868, curront fiscal year to April 1, aro $410,011,232, and ab the same ratio for the next three months will amount for the year to £540,000,000—to which may be added $20,000,000 for income tax.

It must, however, be observed on tho other side, that the last utterance from Bismark, in 1eply to an address from the Berlin Chamber of Commerce, is still belligerent. The Prussian Government, which, on April 21, agreed to the Austrian proposal for- dis- armament, subsequently objected to it while Austria should coutinue to maintain her armaments on the Italian frontier. This Austria pretended to bo com- pelled to do on account of the continued concentra- tion of Italian troops at Bologna. It will be remembered that Mr. Bancroft's allusion to England, in his commemorative oration in February last, called forth a good deal of comment. Itso touched, it seems, the sensitiveness of Earl Russell that he wrote Mr, Adams a letter pleadivg not guilly to Mr. Bancroft's impeachment of himselfi The letter sent, by his request, to Mr. Ban- | croft, who replied, quoting Earl Russell's | tettors and the speech referred tohy him in justification | of the assertions of the oration.

The immemorial State laws which forbid solling on Sunday, or any part of it, are to be executod and obeyed. II. The retailing of Liquors is no longer to be mixed np with the sale of Grggeries or of Drugs. aman choozes to sell Groceries or Drugs, he is at perfect liberty to do so; but, if he does, he cannot, on the same premises, keep a Grogshop. 1L The employment of Women to deal out or | hand uruun‘l Liquor or Lager is not allowed. Sad experience nas proved that Women thus employed are almost uniformly either corrupters or soon corrupted. Drinking saloons are to be attended by men only. IV. At midnight, if not sooner closed, every bar must be shut up, and the sale of liquor absolutely in- termitted till next morning at sunrise. If it be Satur. day night, there must be no more neliing till Monday morning. Those who can't help drinking on Sunday must buy their liguor before midunight of Saturday. V. No known criminal—no one who harbors thieves or harlots, or other systematic corrupters or depre- dators—is to have a license on any terms, VI. No person who is unlicensed is to he allowed to sell at all. —Such are the outlines of the system which our new Board of Exeise has inangurated, and which we believe it will faithfully enforce. Of course, this will not prevent driuking, nor even drunkenness; and boys will become tipplers in spite of it all. Men will set sail for perdition on a flood of strong drink as heretofore; but the current will be less swift than it has been; and there will bo & boom across the channel every seventh day. Now, then, citizens of Now-York! Christians! moralists! philanthropists! it rests with you to say whether this good shall be ackieved or baffled! The | law is not what we would have it—for we do n't be- lieve iu licensing any grogshops whatever, nor in rum- selling on any day of the week; but we propose to take the law as we find it and earnestly struggle for its maintenanco and enforcement. It cannot stan! without your active support; for Avarice and Appe- tite are both thwarted by it, and already the columns of the grogshop press fuirly groan with false- hoods respecting the Board aud calwnnics leveled at its upholers, *The working man is a prisoner on his If own premises;" * They must inhale the poisonous at- mosphere of the tenant-house on tho day of re Tt is an attempt to render the lives of the toiling millions more intolerable;" It is preparing men for heaven by making earth a hell,” &c., &e., area few of more ¢ 5 crowded into balf a column threa therefore—since w want the grogshops open and in full blast on Sunday will vote for candidates pledged to upset the new sys tem. Wil not those who like a quict Sunday evince an equal ea s3 and firmness in upholding what these ** sons of Belial” are organizing aud drilling to overthrow? Let us respect the lines which the grog- geries insist on drawing, and take care that no cham. pion of lawless rum-selling shall be chosen to the Leg- islature where we can muster strength to prevent it! THE RIGHT OF SECESSION. Ts there any use in trying to hunt down a falsehood which many people have an interest in propagating and upbolding? The task seems o hopeless that we rarely attempt it; yet there aro times when public intercata seem to require the effort, The World says: uth Caroling asserted the right of Seces 3 rather cloar that she Aad the right. Sho exercised it.” —Of course, this has been athousand times asserted; Dt ten thousand repetitions would not maks it true.

Ithassincoapp conspiracy, and that it was the whites who were guilty of massacreing the negroes. Iu the Memphis riots last week, the first telegrams, as in the Jamaica case, 1aid all the blame on the negroes—who, it may be remembered, do not control the telegraph wires, Whether subsequent and accurate narratives will acquit the negroes and inculpate the whites, we do not know, but it is certain that 4he telegrams were based on very imperfect information. The Memphis papers of the morning alter the riot are at Land, aud their stories about the origin and progress of the affray are not merely inconistent, but o two of them agreo in any single particular, except that in one way or another they mako the negro the occasion of the diffi- culty. The Avalanche says the riot originated from a diffi culty between a white boy and negro boy, whom two officers tried to separate, when a erowd of fifteen or twenty grown negroes, armed with pistols, surrounded the police and imme- diately commenced an unprovoked assault upon them. The Argus says it Dbegan by two policemen going to arrest a man who sold liguor in South Memphis, whereupon negro soldiers driuking in the grog shop charged on the police, and were in turn attacked by a reénforcement of constables. Ths Bulletin, remarking that there are ha!f a dozen rumors about the matter, i3 positivo that the troubls really began with a negro driving s wagon which came into collision another wagon driven by a white man, The two came to blows, whips wero used, other negroes inter- fered; then a policeman came up and attempted to arrest—of course—the negro first concerned, Pistols were drawn on both sides, the fight becamo general, and then spread indefinitely. The Post—tle only paper in Memphis that is not Rebel to the core—gon- fesses it could not ascertain the cause of the dificulty, but gives one version, which is that ¢andry dronken cglored soldiers fell on o policeman and killed Lim | (wih ddonot be true, because no policeman was | killed), and that the police and citizens then made an indiscriminate attack on the negroes in that neighbor- hood. The details given in these four papers of the progress of the fight do uot agree any better than the stories they tell about its origin, It is uscless to try to sift them, They all, bowever, admit that the negroes suffered out of all proportion to the whites—a remark- able result truly, considering that the negroes are charged with being the aggressors, and are pictured as drawn up in great numbers in line of battle, and of barely one Sunday newspaper, which closes by | ch a law will sweep outlfo | existence the party that enacted it.” We propose, | are allowed no alternative—to | “fight it out on this line.” We are told that all who | | | | the riot was at an end, and The Post statesthat ** some r Croator with | .. | Foems to b _ | exercises, spe or could have secured on o naked issue of Union | tone of our free | od that there was no | with | o firing heavy volleys into sotid columns of charging po- licemen. The one white man killed was Lit bya stray ball, Wherever in the city a negro showed himself he was hunted and fired on. Twenty, says The Avalanche, were killed aad wounded, and the same paper statea that * maoy negroes who had nothing to o with the outrage in South Memphis were roughly troated in the intense and general excitement of the A detachment of Regulars sent at a late hour eIl the riot took sides with the whites, as might pposed, and “used no light persuasion in the matter, as the battercd-up condition of many of the negroes afterward sent to thestation-house exhibited.” Ia frout of the Gayoso House,about dark, a negro was shot in the face, **Taemob,” says The Argus, * was 1o time in that locality.” From the narrative of The Bulletin, which comes nearer to being coherent | than any other, it appears that the Regulars did | not reach the ground till after the riot lad been suppressed, and whatever violence they committed was therefore wholly vindictive. The same paper mentions four negroes who were shot after S e e of tle arrested were, after being taken in custody, Dbeaten nearly to a jelly. We saw one with his Lead covered with gashes, bruises, and blood, discharged from the station-house, there being no grouad of com- plaint against him.” Difficult as it is to get at the facts, there is no diffi- culty in understanding the spirit with which the whites ot Memphis discuss this event. The papers make hasto to proclaim it a ** war of races,” and The Aralanche bogins its leading article in this style: “The bloody appetito of the Radicals, in and out of Con- bas b nest its terrible satiation. The reports ntry have indicated, for somo time, that 7 was indulzing a partial satisfac- not until yesterday afternoon did the people nis become fully aware of the terrible conse- ich the l!ul{cnl: have entailed upon the Le fearful volcano upon which they hieve been The idea inculcated into the sluggish in- ro, that bis mew condition accords him su. y over the whits man. in all tho pursuits of civil aad | 11ife, Las at last culminated in the active belief that laws of the land aro to be overridden with high- outrage, in virtue, forsooth, of his dusky, swartby of P | quences whi country, or of ¢ ong; sleeping. £ of the b periorit political the cf hande | color.’ And by way aper, tebel papers in Ne thus encourages for the future, the me o jon that marked the | ork during the July riots of the murderous spirit of its | excited as it is by the \va been fired upon by | 1 % of ¢l s Fede i 1y have ex 1 thoir authority t b suggests. this t pon behalf of tie unfortunate ofass, ations and teaching of desi ition of tur apposii il I, ask ow )i a0y exerciss Of JUSTIVIANLE VIOLENCE upon them.” This invitation to bloodshed was but sparing we suppose, being nu the following days. | vbser 008 W “Wa would | who by the mac “TOUS VOPS, 1 that Mr. Carlyle, who thinks the | 1d American people are going all away into | wud tongue, would look a little grimly on the | mime for the anni cry species of 3 but one sort of celebration, | wod of getting through their yearly jubilee | New-York.

Howard, who is a good soldier and takes as good care of the freed- men as he is allowed to, is aonounced at several meetings w either war or the negroes—but that will not pre- vent him from making a good speech. The American Auti-Slavery Society, which did not dissolve last year, will bLold an anaiversary from which some familiar faces will be absent.

Times—wlth reference to our statoment | that, with regard to City politics, we have for some | timo becn in gemeral accord with the Citizens' | Association—says: We oheerfully concedo all that is desired for the * Citizens' Associatton,’ and as eheerfully add that we should rejoice to see its means and votes much more efliciently and successfully slied. But, Lko all other * associations’ for * reform.’ it iy Ilfl!vll‘ to bo imposed upon. Adventurers take advantage of ity fnexperience and practico upon its rn-tlum{. T FRIBUNE, example, led the * Citizens’ Association’ into the support of # caudidate for Mayor whose uomination served no purpose but to defoat Mr, Roberts, whose eleetion would Lavo been a real, substantial reform.” —That The Times is right with regard to “adven- turers,” is proved by the case of Mr. Abrabiam Lent. ‘That gentleman sought the nomination and support of the Citizens' Association, making strong professions of concarrence in its views and purposes—professions whick he has since deplorably falsified. 1fe could not Dave boen elected if the Citizens' Association had been simply neutral, as bia district gave & Democratie ma- jority on the State ticket ab the same time that iv wlected him by 3142 majority over the Democratic can- didate for Senator. But as to Tus TRIBUNE having **led” the Citizens’ Association into the support of Mr. Hecker or of any ono else, The Times is mistaken, and must back square out. We expected o different nomination for Mayor, but we suggestod none whatever. Several days after Mr. Hecker had been nominated, we were waited on Ly @ committeo of the Eitizens' Association, h have nothing to do with | fiefied by Peter Cooper, to edlioit our support of thels candilates—a support which wo then pledged and heartily gave to tho end, and which we have never regretted. We undoubtingly believe that Mr, Hecker, if chosen, would have proved an in. flexibly fathful, Lonest, capable, energetic Mayor, and would have used the powers of his office, not te favor any political party or private interest, but to pro- mote economy and prevent peculation. But we never in any manner solicited, nor suggested, nor de sired his nomination—never. We supported him be- cause he was the nominee of the Citizens' Association, and Decause, being such nomines, we deemed him capable and worthy, And—not having time to chase up every false charge against us to which the colmuns of The Times are habitually leut—we demand a distinet vetraction of this one, AN APPEAL FOR THE STARVING. Judge Wyeth of Marshall County, Ala., has ap- pealed to the citizens of Cicipnati in behalf of tho people of his State, He says: “1 have come here to plead with you for the suffering, stary- inf rupk of North Alabawma. ‘Thoy are literally starviog— helpless women and cbildren and infirm men are suflering the want of bread. “The facts are so tarrible that they can searcely be believed, and I feel that the groatest diffionlty that I 1 bave to em- counter will be the doubts that will suggest themselves in ro- gard to the truth of my staiements.” The Hon. W.T. May, Judge of the Probate Court of Marshall Couaty, in @ certificate to the truthfulness of this statement, says he has carefully in- vestigated the condition of the people in his County, and finds that there aro 2,180 women, children and infirm men; and of persons who are able to work, but bave no means to purchase supplies for carrying on farming operations, there are familics embracing 2,000 persons, white and black, Of the residue ot the population, not 20 have means more than | adequate to their wants, Gov. Patton of Alabama writes: « 1 bave long known Judge Wyeth s a respectable membey of the bar, and Christian gentieman, in whom the utmost con fidence may bo reposed. W hat bo saye in regard to tho desti: tute poor of the mouatain couatios of North Alabawa way be stricily relied on.” Many of thesépeople have planted small crops, but are utterly without the means to sustain life nntil their vegetables and grain mature. The destitution includes all classes, families of Rebel soldiers, Loyal- i ite and black. Judge Wyeth makes his appeal without distinetion, ** In the name of God and ouc common humanity, I beg for bread for my starving people.” The Memphis Post, & 1 appeal in full, with the f0 “ A terribla reproach and a prople of Momphis that they all their own mercautile influczee, women and children to litera effort to lend a helping baad.

Iu the same journal, we find the following: « A grand ball will be given at the Gayoso House on the eveniog of the 3d of May, for the bouefit of the maimed soidiers of the arwies of the Confederate States.

On Monday last the Board of Councilmen per- formed a feat of gymnastios of an astonishing char- acter. Their standing Committee of Finance, which was duly appointed by the President on the orzaniza tion of the Board, consisted of three members: Kellogg (chairman), Keech and Keenan. Last week Keech | and Keenan resigned their positions as members of that Committee because of some pretended misun- derstanding between themselves individually, thus leaving the chairman, Kellogg, alone. On Mondsy Conncilman Keenan moved that there **shall be in future a Standing Committee of this Board, to be known and designated as the * Committee on Finau- cial Affairs,” which committea shall be in the place and stead of the committee heretofore known as the * Com- mittee on Finance.'” This resolution was adopted. Councilman Hartman then offered the following resolution: **That the Committeo on Finaucial Af- fai nsist of Councilmen Keech, Koster and Watta,” As this would substitute Keech for Kellogg 8s chair- man, aud virtually oust tie latter gentleman (who had not resigned, and who bad done, and was w 1 to do, duty on his committee), from his office, Coun- cilman Pallman moved that the name of Kellogg be substitated in place of Keach; but this was lost, and the original motion of Hartman was adopted. w, there is but one aspect in which this pro- ceeding can be viewed, aud that is unfavorable to the Lonesty of the Tonorable the Board of Councilmen. It is plain that it was an ipt to get rid of Kellogg on the Finance Comuit! and, as he could not be impeached in any manner, and his associates wers afraid to move openly to substitute anotber in bis place, this lofty somersault over bis head was under- taken. It even strikes us that Keech and Keenan acted in collusion in resigning from the committes of Fisance, in the first instance, and that they did so to effect this very dirty job, since Keech immediately accepts a reappoiutment on tho new committee, and votes down the motion to put Kellogg thereon with bim. But the Board of Cougcilmen seem to furget that parliamentary usage does not sanction this method of ousting & member of a committee, If Messrs. Keech and Keonan, who composed the original committee with Mr. Kellogg, can urge any justification for this step, let us have it; but nothing less than personal indecency and ruflianism con jus- tify the unparliamentary proceeding. 1t is rumored that Mr. Kellogg's course in report- ing against certaln big jobs, dovations, elc., whiohs were referred to his couwittee, bas caused this step to be taken against him by his fellow members. I that is the case, we may well feel indignant, and als¢ apprehensive; for Mr. Keech, who is now the chair- man of the new Committee on ** Financial Aflairs,” is the same Mr. Keech who, as a member of a formes Common Council, helped to consummate the infa moug Fort Gansevoort awindle, by voting to buy, o a price of over half a million dollars, the property which the City already rightfully owned.
