The Legislature.
Now, upon the eve of the assembling
of this body, the action to be taken on
the various subjects to be brought for*
ward, is naturally looked to with interest,
Upon any of those matters, at present, we
do not intend to suggest what course
should be adopted or offer any opinion.
We have full confidence in the ability of
that learned body,and in their wisdom to
do or undo what may be for the benefit of
our State, and we feel assured they will
not consider it out of place now to ex
press the hope, which doubtless they
themselves as well as the friends of the
South everywhere entertain, namely, that
there shall not be through any of
the debates, upon whatever questions
may be brought forward, any language
tending to revive or re-open the wounds
which are fast healing. It is time now
that there should be a suspension at
least of anything tending to such an evil.
Such violent language can effect no pos
sible good, but, on the contrary, is cal
culated to do a great deal of harm, and
it was with regret we were obliged to re
cord it in the proceedings of the late
Convention, as it was also with pain we
read in some of the Northern papers vi
tuperative and scurrillous attacks upon
the people of this State for the action of
our Convention. After a hostile en
counter between two gentlemen, one of
whom had been seriously wounded, but
both having come out of the af
fair honorably, no matter what
the feelings of either might be, it would
scarcely be in keeping with their dignity
to use language towards each other un
worthy of gentlemen. We stand some
what in the same position, and sin ce so
much has been said relative to the digni
ty of the late Convention, it is to be
hoped the Legislature will hold on to it
practically.

The Theatrical Controversy*
Theater, I
Savannah, Ga., Dec. 1, 1885. )
John E. Raya, Esq. :
SiR : In reply to your correspondent “Samuel,”
wo i.»g to »tate that the words “I despise the
North, Give ma the People of the Sunny South,”
used by Lilly, (Miss M. E. Gordon,) in the drama
of Smiles and Tears on Wednesday evening last,
were those of the author.
The scene is laid in Ireland, and has no local po
litical significance, nor was any such meaning in-
tenced Artists are often called upon to utter sen
timents which, it construed, (as in this instance,)
would cause much ill feeling. Miss Gordon
merely used the language given her to speak j
and those who took notice of the lines should be
held responsible, not her.
Yours, Ac.,
Raymond A Hamilton.
We hope “Samuel’' is satisfied with
the above explanation.
Kathleen IU avoir rue en.
This beautiful drama will be repeated
at the theatre this evening. It is certain
ly one of the prettiest of Irish plays.
From Washington.
Washington, Nov. 25.
Owing to the meagreness in the dispatches
from Mississippi, published yesterday, purport
ing to give the substance of President Johnson’s
instructions to Governor Humphreys, the
National Republican nives a full copy of the dis
patch as toilowas t .
Washington, Nov. 17.
C. H Humphreys, Governor elect, Jackson,
Mississippi: The troops will be withdrawn
from Mississippi, when, in the opinion of the
Government, peace and order and the civility has
been restored and can be maintained without
them. E.ery step will be taken, which they are,
to eutorce strict disoipline and subordination to
the civil authorities. There can be nta other or
greater assurance given than has heretofore been
<>u the oart ot toe President or Government.
There is no concession on the part of the people
of Mississippi or the Legislator#—other than a
loyal compliance with the laws and Constitution
ot" the United States, and the adoption of such
measures, giving orotection to all freedmen, or
free men, in person or property, without regard
to color, as will entitle them to resume all their ’
constitutional relations in the Federal Union.
The people of Mississippi may feel well assured
that there is no disposition to act arbitrarily on
tue part ol the Government, or to dictate what
act on should be had ; but, on the* contrary, to
Bimply aud k udly advise a policy that is ba-
1 eved' will result in restoring all the relations
wh en shou'd exist between the States compris
ing the Fedei al Union. It is hoped that they
wdUpp oaute a d feel the suggestion herein
made, tor they are offered in that spirit which
shoul pervade the bosom of all those who desire
peace and harmony, or a thorough restoration of
ihe Union. There must be confidence between
the Government and State ; while the Govern-
me t confides in the people, the people must
bare faith in the Government, and this must be
mutual and reciprocated, or all that has been
done will be thrown away.
Akdriw Johnson,
President ot the United States.

THE MAN ABOUT TOWN?
.o*
gpeculator’.s Experience'
Mr. Editor .-—The next day after I came, I ar
rived in Georgia, not over a million of mflas from
Savannah. Speculator and I, being inspired by the
flattering information the radical journals give
tha swindled newspaper reading pnblie North, o f
the flourishing condition down South, after ;be
daws have picked at them for fonr years, utterly
annihilating all their sublime prosperity—we,
poor innocents, thought we ware coming to a land
flowing with milk and honey, when, to the horror
of our delicate stomachs, we only found water and
hominy. While the prespiration constantly rolled
off our noble backs, caused by fsar, on viewing the
brunette statute stalking abont the streets, with
hands carefully laid away to rest in their motley
looking tTOWSeri pockets. I believe they busy
themselves in some kind of Roreau,
ing after the emancipation labor document,
religiously swearing that Brothor Johnson mus
allow them to vote on their side. Tskmg sU
these contagious untruths into consideration, W.
u. and Co., concluded to beneSt the SUte ot
Georgia by emigration. We were delighted with
onr good fortune in making the acquaintance of]
,n unprincipled set, called “Stay-at-home money
Seekers,” who, belonging Sonth, disdained to fight
in the Northern army, and spurned the idea of de
fending their own country,hut cheerfully ospoused
themoneymakiug-ootton association cause, and
honesty always receives its reward, as we
blandly smiled while onr friends informed ns that
government would only allow them to politely
bid farewell to their several thousand bales o f
cotton on its way to Yankeedom. We suddenly
understood that we should be sorry over this
harrowing tale of injustice, and so accordingly
wiped our eyes and smiled behind our ears.
As we toured it through tho country, we, were
appalled, with vanished admiration, at tho clean
sweep Gen. Sherman made. I believe we did
find several email pebblos which were unmolested
by the great Commander and his legions.
We soon learned that our cotton speculation
was no go, the reasonable sum of fire dollars a
day for our grub, and traveling exponees ditto—
we were in a fair way of being strapped. Specu
lator advanced the capital idea of giving a
lecture.
What? said I, in this poverty-stricken, for
saken town.
"Just so,” said he, with a comical leer, with
his upa-loft-eye, “I’ll deliver it if you’ll
write it..”
But, Mr. Speculator, I fear it will be a failure-
"No huts about it,” said he. “Don’t you know
that the human family are ever ready fer excite
ment ; now, I’ll arrange every thing, and bet
you two to one we have a big bouse.”
Yes, a big bouse with a small audienea.
“Leave the affair to me, Ell, and I’ll Barnnm
the citizens out of a clean two hundred.”
Speculator’s scheme began to look prosperous
to me; we shook hands, and groaned aloud as we
light our last Havana: we undoubtedly had a
smooky feeling for each other’s sorrows. Wha t
shall be the subject of the lecture ? I thougbt-
ingly enquired.
‘•That’s it,” said my friend, “we mast an
nounce something that will excite the people >
suppose we head the poster thns: ‘A humorous
lecture on a horse to .’”
Why, do you say on a horse ?
* “Because,” said Speculator , knowingly; “the
people will be humbugged into the iAa that we
are a circus.”
Just so.
Now, Eli, we must paint a large bill, say
ing—Humorous lecture on a horse, by two dele
gates not yet pardoned, minus the escort of 20,-
000, but pitted out regardless of expense by the
Reconstruction Dramatiqpe Corps at Washing•
ton. Fifty cents for all who come in, admitting
those who stay away free. The fun to take
place, Fn Masse Hall, precisely at the com
mencing oj the performance. Tickets to be had
at the door, if not all sold elsewhere. No small
crowds admitted.”
Long before the entrance was opened, there
was no spreading room for the distance of two
feet and a half beyond the door. Among the
celebrities seated upon the stage were several
substitutes and conscripts. Those who exci
ted our envy were Rev. Mr. Goodforthesouth-
ernladiestowork, from the City of Churches
over the way; Mr. Keeptberebsoutofoffice,
from Excitement City; General Stealallican,
from Radical county; Mr. Ed tor Abolition.
Copperhead, from Dont-mention-tne-piace, and
a galaxy of other scoundrels.
When the hall was full, I boldly com
menced to lecture. After the long and sickly
cheering had subsided, I ventured thus to ad
dress the gang : Ladies and gentlemen, allow
me to Inform you that I belong to the school
association at the North, sent here to teach your
old ideas how to shoot. The trials through
which you have passed have been severe and
laborious. I shall first confine my remarks to
this town. In this vicinity there are a certain
few of chosen number, not-to-be-molestsd
characters, whom their own shadows don't
like to own. This brotherly band manage to
mushroom themselves in certain localities at
certain times. When they tight they like a
majority on their side—preferring to magnani
mously slander their opponents. But such is
life at the Cabinet. The South has not lost
her cause. Its only gone on a furlough to
learn if her country is defamed by refusing to
pay her debts (healthy uproar.) It has -been
untruthfully said, through the Kingdom of the
North, that you Corn-feds despise simple
honesty and straightforwardness of purpose.
That you encourage the vascillatory system of
tactics. This is a hint to your four years’ bil
ions fever. This is decidedly improper,
and your humble servant is instructed not to
listen to all snob expressions. (Load appUaso.)
It has been cruelly said that cotton stealing -was,
and is, rampant among Federal libmaelite*. I
can assure you, ladies and gentlemen, that every
bale of cotton that was confiscated went to Gov*
ernment or to us. (A cry for the horse.) Bat
this affair cannot be any “Wire’*”, as it ha* net
been suspended at Washington. I advise yon all
to immediately swallow your mortification— pad
up a lunch, and tramp forthwith to the City of
Execution, seeking pardon for your fighting sins.
(We will, we will.) When we read the history ef
the rise and fall of empires and republics, wbieh
have revolved in tho revolution of time, you mast
not imagine that you an the originators and in
ventors of rebellion. (A amonthered groan.)—
You will all agne with me that your States should
be brought back to civil rule, as soon as possible,
and so squash the nplitary law, and return to the
National Constitution; shako off this prejudiee,
act like tarnal fools no longer—this is the un
swerving opinion of an * outraged candidate for
the offieo of door-keeper in tho ampin below
China. (Weak laughter.) The North out of fts
abundance has become inspired with its benevo
lence. (2d cry for a horse.) Mass Meetings
are held in New York tad other villages, to re-
Ueve your sufferings. If this advocation of the
negro suffrage question was only half as a
religions act, it might not succeed—now yon
most gnlph down your pride, and take some of
this money, (if you can only get it) The con
fiscation proceedings at the District Court, we
humbly decline to speak of. You should make
more lfcise over the election* ? why do you
remain so quiet?, you can all take the oath of
’62, and so add to the catalogue of your virtues,
by not committing peijuty. You musn’t allow
Mexico, nor old two-sided England, nor Irish
fiendism, nor past events, nor the leave of ab
sence the Freedmen’s Bureau is agoing to take,
to prevent you from encouraging emigration,
and so restore your rich territory to its former
days of prosperity. Let the North make in vest
ments among you,and be sure you treat them so,
that they can stay long enough to take dinner
in the land of sun and flowers. I will now
close the lecture without taking any negro testi
mony. (Two times applause.) I hope that
you will seo by General Grant, that the North
hag a mighty military chieftain, whom, I trust,
is not ostentatiously travelling as a “Show.’
(Loud smiles.)
The vast crowd walked home. Speculator
and I retired to dream of champaign, and rival
paper mache press gangs. Mr. Editor, please
state that my friend deelines the honor cf be
ing put upjas a candidate to Purgatory. When
I’m not somebody else, I shall ever remain
yonr high-minded servant, Seb Sea Ell.
Southern Literature.
During the war very little was beard at the
North ot the literature .and literary men of the
Southern States. The revived Richmond En
quirer devotes a good deal of space to a state
ment ‘ ol the part taken by our principal male
and female writers in the late war, together with
an account of their present situation and what
they are doing ”
Mr. Wm. Gilmore Simms, who actually heads
the list, wrote for Southern papers during the
war, his principal work being a humorous novel
entitled "Paddy McGaun, or the Demon of the
8tump.” His house in South Carolina was
burned by Sherman’s army. He is now in New
York on a visit to his Masonic brethren.
Mr. John R. Thompson appears to have
been very busy during the war. He acted as
Assistant Librarian of the State Library of
Virginia, wrote Governor Letcher’s State pa
pers for him, corresponded regularly with that
nomadic paper, the Memphis Appeal, which
was published in half the cities of the Sonth
before they were successively captured by our
armies, wrote poems and political articles for
the press, edited the short-lived Richmond Re
cord, and was the regular correspondent of the
London Index. Under so many and such
harassing labors it is not surprising that Mr.
Thompson’s health gave way. He ran the
blockade to England, and there served the re
bel cause faithfully by editorial labor on the
Index and Morning Herald, and by contribu
tions to Blackwood, the Cornbill Magazine and
the Pall Mall Gazette. Some “Southern War
Poems,” which he sent to Europe for publica
tion before his own departure, were unfortu
nately captured on the voyage, but he retained
copies, and has hopes that (he effusions may
yet appear in print at London.
John Esten Cooke served at first as a private
of artillery and afterward on the staff of Stuart
and other Generals throughout the war. He
found time for a good deal of literary labor,
aDd wrote, beside many pieces for rebel news
papers, the life of Stonewall Jackson, which
was republished in New York as the produc
tion of John M. Daniel. Since the close of
the war he has written mainly for the New
York World, and has also begun & novel based
upon incidents of the struggle.
Dr. Bagby. editor of the Southern Literary
Messenger, served the rebellion as a private sol
dier, until his health broke down, and then
busied himself in maktDg from Southern newspa
pers a collection of “liumors of the War,” untit
his eyesight, very naturally was seriously affect
ed. Ho proposes to publish his book, however,
and is now in Richmond preparing it for the
press.
Porte Crayon served on the Union side dure
ing the war. He is now Adjutant General
Strother in the Pierpont administration, and is
devoting himself to the educational interests
ot Virginia, Mrs. Mowatt Ritchie has resided
in Europe for the last few yeirs, but “her sym
pathies,” says the Enquirer, “were altogether
on our side.” Miss Augusta Evans, author of
“Beulah,” remained at home in Alabama dur
ing the contest, preparing novels for publica
tion in New York. It was at one time reported,
that she was to be married to Gen. Beauregard,
but the story has proved untrue.
The Enquirer’s catalogue includes also James
Barron Hope, Henry Timrod, Paul Hayue, Henry
Lynden Flash, W. Gordon McCabe, W. H. Hol
combe, W. B. Reese, Susan Archer Talley, Mrs.
Jordon, of Lynchburg, and nearly as many more,
whose literary renown has never extended north
of Mason and Dixon’s line.
New Orleans Direct Co tton Trade
with Europe.
The New Orleans correspondent of the Bos
ton Post writes as follows, on the 3d inst., of
the condition of the New Orleans cotton trade:
The steamship Alabama will sail from this
port to-morrow afternoon with nearly 3,000
bales of cotton direct for Liverpool. Since her
arrival here she has been visited by great num
bers of people, and her captain and agents
have been handsomely entertained atr festivals
where tho most flattering sentiments have been
expressed. Numerous letters and dispatches
from all parts of the Mississippi Valley, also,
show that the people as far up as St. Louis
are wide awake to the enterprise, and Boston,
with this new Richmond of King Cotton’s
coart in the field, will find it necessary to re
new her energies also.
The Alabama has taken in upwards of $50,-
000 already for outward bound freight; her
cotton at 1 l-2d per pound, and $125 gold for
passengers. She coals at Havana, and is ex
pected to be in the Mersey by the 1st of De
cember. The ship Caravan sailed from Mobile
on the 28th for Liverpool with 3846 bales of
cotton, valued at $063,500, which, with the es
timated value of the ship, makes something over
a million of dollars at one venture. On the
80th, sailed from this port for Havre the ship
R. C. Wintbrop, with 2(556 bales of cotton, and
on the 31st the ship St. Louis with 1200 bales.
The demand from Havre for the higher styles
of Orleans, assimilating to Sea Island cotton,
is large aud increasing, and as we are^-eceiving
immerse ship loads of French goods already, it
is probable our direct trade with that port, as
with Liverpool, will be large. The agents of
the Alabama have also made arrangements for
shipping cotton direct through to Antwerp,
Bremen, Hamburg, Rotterdam, Riga,and other
ports of the German Ocean and Baltic.
The Profits of Advertising.
[From theN. Y. Tribune.)
To the Editor of the New York Tribune:
Sir—In a disenssion to-day about the profits
of advertising, one of the parties stated that
Helmbold is paying the Tribune $10,000 per
year for advertising. Is it true that any drug
gist can afford to pay such a sum for advertis
ing. A Boston Dhuggist.
Boston, November 11, 1865.
betlv.
It is a matter that concerns a “Boston Drug
gist” and all business men, and we may as well
state that Helmbold is paying the Tribune over
$10,000.this year. He paid us $1,500 forone
insertion of one page in the Weekly Tribune,
besides his column in the Daily Tribune. Bon
ner once paid us $3,000 for one insertion of an
advertisement of the Ledger. He knew that
by judicioas advertising he could insure a for
tune. The old prejudice among druggists and
physicians against advertising is dying oat, and
they, os well as others, see that the cheqeeat
mode whereby they can make themselves and
their medicine known to.the public is by a wise
and liberal system of advertising. Helmbold
discovered this foct, and takes advantage of it.
Editor or zm Tnutara* :
fnaksef Fortune.
A lady of Richmond, of the highest
bility and affluence before tha war, by one of
the vicissitudes of dame fortune become separa
ted from ter husband during the carry days of
the Confoderaey. For years she heard nothing of
him, and at last the melancholy conclusion was
accepted, that-he waa dead. In the meantime
she became reduced in circumstances, ard at the
time when the Federal troops occupied the city
she was compelled to dispose of her _ costly and
elegant fornitnre. This she did, piece by pieoe,
until the last object which served to bind her to
her former independence had' been sold; and aha
began to despair. Only a few days 'ago she
received a letter from a gentleman residing in
Mississippi, in whiohwbe was informed that her
husband had lately died, leaving a fortune of
over sixty thousand dollars, of which she was the
only heir. 4_eheck for one thousand dollars ae-
ootnpanied the letter for her immediate wants,
and she immediately took her departnre for the
place where her unexpected fortune awaited her.
j[t appears that her husband having enlisted in
the army, was dhcharged'on account of illness,
and owing to the unsettled state of the oountry,
preferred to remain in the extreme Sonth nnGl
the close of the war. While there be became en
gaged in various speculations, and made a large
amount of money, intending to rejoin his family
as soon as peace was declared. He invested his
funds in cotton, and had just disposed of it when
death closed his career. He bad written many
letters to his wife, but, strange to say, none of
them reached her; the above letter being ths first
information she had been able to obtain as to his
fate.—Richmond Timet.
An Anecdote of Queen Victoria and
Prince Albert.
On one occasion, when the Quean and the
Prince, with the Prince of Wales, then a
young boy, were strolling on the beach near the
palace, on the Isle of Wight, the latter always
a proud and haughty youngster, presuming
upon his heirship to the throne almost before
he was out of perticoats, had strayed away a
little distance from his parents, when they
heard his voice and another in angry alterca
tion. It seems that the yonng prince had dis
covered another boy, about his own.age and
size engaged in gathering periwinkles, and his
basket, partly full, was standing on the beach.
This basket, out of sheer wantonness, the
Prince of Wales bad viciously kicked over.
The young fisherman saw the act, and im
mediately rushed out of the water aDd con
fronted its perpetrator, when this dialogue oc
curred :
Young Fisherman—“What did you do that
for?’’
Prince of Wales—“Because I chose.”
Young Fisherman—“I’ve a great mind to
thrash you for it.”
Prince of Wales—“You darn’t. Don’t you
know who I am?”
Young Fisherman — “No; and I don’t
care.”
Prince of Wales — “I’m the Prince of
Wales.”
Young Fisherman—“I don’t care if you are
tho Prince of Wales. You knocked over my
periwinkles—and take that.” And straight
forward the young fisherman’s hand made ac
quaintance with the cheek of young royalty.
The Queen and Prince Consort saw and
heard all, and approaching the rival comba
tants, told their son that he was in the wrong,
and compelled him to ask pardon of the ragged
periwinkle gatherer, and gave him a sovereign
in recompense for the injury he had done hfm.
Cholera Cured as Easily as Tooth
ache.
Dr. Post, who is represented as “a high medi
cal authority” in New York, delivered a lecture
at the Medical College in that city lately. He
claims that the cholera is “as curable as the tooth
ache.” His method of treatments he explained
it, is briefly as follows :
The patient is first attacked by diarrhcea, ac
companied by extreme lassitude. Ha should go
instantly to bed, and remain perfectly quiet for
forty-eight hoars, taking at least fifteen grains
of calomel to drive the infection promptly from
the system. After this has acted freely, a mild
dose of laudanum should be given to soothe the
f atient and prevent further intestinal action,
ce should also be applied to the spinal column.
Dr. Poet claims that this treatment has been ap
plied in thousands ot cases, and never failed to
result in the entire »nd rapid recovery of the
patient. It is of the very first importance 'that
the patient should not abandon the reclining
posture from the commencement of the disease
until the recovery. All the prominent men in
the city are engaging themselves in the study of
cholera, not cliosly, of course, as there have been
no cases yet in the city.
What a Beggar Ate.
The Boston Herald informs ns that one day,
towards the latter part of last week, the wife
of a citizen, residing not far from Dover st.,
was called upon by a mendicant, in the shape
of a man some 50 years of age, who told a
pitiful tale of hunger, and solicited a dinner.
The kind-hearted woman allowed him to enter
her kitchen and scat himself at a table, upon
which she spread various eatables. The man
masticated and swallowed the following arti
cles : About a ponnd and a half of cold corned
beef; seven cold potatoes, of middling size;
five wheat biscuits; half a loaf of baker’s
brown bread; fonr cucumbers, sliced; three
large tomatoes, ditto ; half a muskmelon, and
one whole pie. He sat at the table one hour
and ten minutes. Faint hopes are entertained
of his recovery.
In tlie Government Employ.
A friend from Leavenworth, Kansas, relates
the following conversation, which he overheard
in that city last fall :
McGinnis—“Oh ! be powdhera is that yerself,
Mr. Mullaly ? I thought ye wor gone to war!”
Mr. Mullaly—“Gone to the war, it is ? Faix
bedad I know a triok worth two ov id. Sure, isn’t
me son Dinnis gottio’ rich, and didn’t he bring
me home $700 last week ?” *
McGinnis—“Wisha ! $700 is id ! And what is
he doin’ at all ?”
Mr. Mullaly—“Troth it’s meself that don’t
koow anything about it, only that he’s in the
Government employ—leppin’ the bonnty, I think

THE COURTS
Mayor’s Court—Friday, Dec. 1.
Mrs. McGowan was charged with forestalling
the market. She had appeared before at the
Mayor’s office obarged with the same offence,
and as it was evident that she had for t long
time practised this calling, the Mayor fined her
$2, with en assurance that a repetition of her
oondoct would bring down on her a heavier
penalty.
Two colored men who gave their names as
Barnville and Potter, were arraigned for retail
ing liquor without a license and keeping a
billiard table contrary to law. As there were
some novel circumstances connected with this
this case, the Mayor postponed the investigation
until Saturday morning.
Two Policemen were placed on the docket by
Mis. Mnndruf, tor neglect of duly in the market.
