/1 TEOUGII TS.
Unless we live for something, there is
no happiness in living. The past is a
grave over which memory weeps, the
present almost ft blank, and the future
au unknown void. Without hope, the
sea of Time would he like the unexplored
regions of a dark cave in a tropical
forest— every step pregnant with danger,
fearful, mieertain-the air oppressive
with mystery, moments of agony length
ened into hours of dreadful suspense.
The year of ISGT—passing from us
forever, as wc write—lingering hut in
the memories of tho fickle living, for -
gotten in the sleep of those who have
been called away —has been a serene
and cloudless sky to some, whilst to
others the palls of adversity have hnng
around, with naught to relieve the
gloom of night. The return of a New
Year, however, with its many fond and
endearing recollections, chases away,
if but momentarily, the tears of sorrow
and burden of grief. Though vacant
seats may be around the hearth, yet
the remembrances of beloved ones will
keep the heart warm; and though
memory may haunt us in the wauder
ing back to dreary scenes and dark
some hours, yet Ihe new-born Year,
with its cheerfulness, its commingling
around the festive hoard, its friendly
ties, its happy hoars, is gladly wel
comed by all—and to all our readers,
we heartily wish a bright and pleasant
New Year!
[Communicated.
THE PROSPECT.
Tho passage ol Mr. Stevens bill,
providing that in elections upon the
adoptions of new State constitutions a
majority of votes east shall suffice to
adopt, will compel the Southern anti
reconstructionists to show their strength.
In elections hitherto they have been
able to count just as much against the
Convention if they stayed at home as
if they voted, and with them were
counted all those who could he kept
from the polls, all who were unable to
attend or were indifferent to the result.
In spite of the advantage, Conventions
have been called in every State except
Texas, and the Republicans are cer.
tain of success in that State also. The
Opposition must now defeat the Con
stitutions about to be proposed, not by
staying at Lome, but by casting a
majority of the votes, or the new gov
ernments will be fully established and
admitted to representation in Congress.
Realizing that this is tlicir last
chance of defeating reconstruction,
they will work desperately, and hav
ing the advantage in wealth, in control
of the press and telegraph, in owner
ship of land, and in political experi
ence, they will make a hard struggle.
Despite obvious difficulties, the pros.
pect is that the new constitutions, if
properly framed, will be adopted in
nearly all the States. In Georgia and
some others, however, everything will
depend upon the course of the Conven
tion. It can frame such a constitution
as will drive nearly all whites into oppo
sition ; or it can pursue a moderate
course and build up a strong loyal
party among- the whites. Thus far, in
spite of the customary misrepresenta
tions of the news agents, our State
Convention promises to do very well.
Much prejudice can be excited against
any deliberative body by dwelling ex
clusively upon the conduct or speeches
of its least worthy members; and
many of the press agents have sys
tematically pursued this course. But
the constitution, when completed, will
speak for itself; and if it proves that
the convention was controlled not
by torch-and-turpentine adventurers, but
by men of sound sense and liberal
views, the kind of misrepresentation to
which we have referred will damage
the “ Conservatives” more than it will
help them. Bibb.

THEN AND NOW.
Mr. Eiijtoh : Having heard and read
some of the speculative views about
the Negro, I atn reminded of tin anec
dote heard in my boyhood—the sub
stance of which is as follows :
A negro caught a rabbit, and on his
way home he was dilating on its good
qualities. Said he, “ Him good for
broil, him good for roast, him good fur
stew, him good for bake, him good for
fry, him good (or any ting.” Ali at
once the rabbit made a sudden spring,
got loose, and ran off. As it went, the
negro shouted, ‘ Go, you short-tail—
you no wort’ nuflin, no howl”
So, while the negro was a slave, he
was good for everything, and had as
much of a soul as his master; but now
that he is gone, he is “ no wort’ nuflin,
no how.” _ lota.
SvMrATiir.—ln gloating over Gen.
l’ope’s removal, the dignilied, highly
respectable, courteous and veracious
Chrttnicle & Sentinel, yesterday, whines
about 1 the sympathy which it has
always been thought that rogues and
thieves bear for each other.” This
expression prepares the public to ap
preciate the condolence and consola
tion existing between our worthy city
cotemporaries in the enjoyment of that
little item of five hundred dollars—that
"bonus,” you know. -*
A law firm in Boston carried a
chee to the Court ot Claims, which tho
Treasury Department had disallowed,
ami have just obtained a favorable
judgment. The decision is to the effect
ibut all soldiers who enlisted under
the President’s Proclamation before
July 22d, I^ol, are entitled lo bounty,
whether discharged for disease or other
honorable cause. This will give bouu>
ties to hundreds of discharged soldiers
who were refused it because they had
not served two yean .
GENERAL rOPE.
Tho Frosideiit, it is authoritatively
said, contemplates the removal of Gen
eral Pope from the command in Geor
gia and Alabama, and tho substitution
of General Meade in his plaee. One
after another our most faithful officers
are made to give way. to tho continued
bitterness and opposition of the Presi
dent and his Cabinet to the reconstruc
tion laws of Congress. Sheridan and
Sickles have each in turn been sacri
ficed, not lor any neglect of duty or
failure in ability, but because they
faithfully and impartially executed the
laws of Congress in the spirit and
intent of the framers. At last, ns if
he were determined to thwart the
wishes of the people iu every respect,
the President, proposes Pope’s dismissal
from command.
We have heard of him, that he has
a habit of calling things by their right
names, and of his dealing with traitors
and rebels as though he had some
doubts of the propriety of trusting them
with the control of a Government they
have tried so hard to overthrow. Oc
casionally, when he found a blatant
Mayor of a city or a self sufficient Gov
ernor obstructing the administration or
the law, he lias put him out of the way
of doing further harm by removal, or
has cautioned him against the folly of
his course in an admonitory letter that
could not* possibly be misunderstood.
We never did anticipate that there
would he much sympathy of sentiment
between Ilorschel t. Johnson, Prof.
Hill, or any of the conservative mana
gers, and General Pope. Nor did we
suppose any one expected there would
he. These geutlemen, by some curious
process of reasoning, have concluded
that they are the victims of a gross and
wicked tyranny, and naturally regard
the military commander, who is charged
with the execution ot these hateful
reconstruction laws, with both distrust
and dislike.
Declining to help themselves, and
to avail themselves of the privileges
extended to them by Congress,, they
have permitted the reorganization of
their State governments to go on. by
default, loudly exclaiming against
their misfortunes, and bawling after
President Johnson to help, though
never trying to help themselves. In
this military district these gentlemen
have brought the Chief Executive to
their rescue, so far as a change of
commanders are concerned, and they
hope now to so delay matters that they
may avail themselves of the interven
tion of their friends at the North. We
advise them not to trust too much to
that kind of help. While the people
are not fond of northern extremists as
a general rule, we have yet to learn
that they have set their affections upon
Southern partisans who go so far the
other way.
We have one little grain of consola
tion in this new effort to obstruct, and
that is the completeness of the work
that has been performed by General
Pope, so far as he has gone. Recon
struction has too far progressed to be
greatly delayed now, even by tho inter
position of anew commander, even
though he were antagonistic to the
cause, and in General Meade we have
a man who will execute tho laws
of Congress diligently, and with a
thorough appreciation of their spirit
and intent.— Providence Press.
Stxedman in Trouble. —General
Jas. B. Steedman, since tho war closed,
has been industriously cultivating the
friendship of the Copperheads. He
went through the South finding fault
with other army officers- stationed there
on duty, giving currency to most un
just slanders of them, stirring up hostili
ty toward them, and behaving in a
manner most ungenerous and unfair to
other soldiers and most offensive to all
loyal people. The President was
charmed with Steedman, and the Cop
perheads, who can tolerate a Union
officer provided ho can turn his back
upon his cause and hi3 flag and take
part with rebels, thought General Steed
man a particularly bright and shining
light, and proposed to nominate him for
the Presidency. And now, after all the
eloquent words from him about the
abuse of power at the South and the
wrongs of Southern people, General
Steedman has been mulcted in $25,000
damages for despoiling and imprisoning
during the war a man from Michigan
who tried to keep a hotel in the Gener
al’s district. Sympathy in such a case
would be wasted.— St- Louis Vein.
How the Giuls Look at It. —George
Francis Train has been making a
speech at Lawrence about woman., suf
frage and temperance, in which he said :
“The school girl reads her novel and
iiopes and prays for her turn. At six
teen she asks, indifferently, who is he?
At twenty, with much interest, what is
lie? At twenty four, somewhat discon
solately, which is he ? At twenty eight,
with much anxiety, where is lie ? Once
married, a fashionable bote!, au opera
box, a carriage and horses and no
children, is her only idea of happiness.
Consult her mind, she wilt toll you she
has read Romeo, but she didn’t know
that Juliet was not. But you may rest
assured she lias read tiie medical books
—understands perfectly tiie habits and
customs of the French, and drinks
Bourbon.”

bility.” — Gen. Wade Hampton, of
South Carolina, had better look out.

Thompson, General Beauregard, Hon.
B, C. Yancey, and Ex-Gov. Brown
awaits him, should ho not retract. The
conscript officers, sutlers, and boot
blacks of tho Confederate army, will
place their seal of condemnation upon
him. He will he no longer “ respect
able. ’ In a late conversation, he is
reported to have said that ho is “ per
fectly willing to see a constitution
adopted by the State conferring the
elective franchise on the negro,
on precisely the same terms
as is exercised by the white man,
guarding against tho abuse of this
privilege by ;t slight educational and
property qualification for till clases.”—
