Having fa*»fc power presoes, the best material, and skilled workmeu, enables us to do Job Work at the lowest figures and best manner. The Art of Lying. This may seem un odd sort of expres sion to most of our readers; for it is, indeed, strange that so mean and crimi nal a practice should he reduced to an art. Strange it is, but nevertheless true; and Dean Swift tells us that even in his day it was carried to great perfection. But what was perfection then, is as just so much crudity, so much imperfection, when compared to the perfection of the present day. To acquire this art, involves no very great trouble. At first it annoys the conscience somewhat, but as the practice increases, that innate monitor becomes more and more hardened, until it is altogether silent. Thus a person may begin by telling what we call “white lies"—jocose lies—“just for the fun of the thing.” They are very amusing, and do no very great harm. By and by t some excuse, for some cause or other, is needed, and a little lie, not quite so “white” as the jocose lie, is “very handy to have in the house,” or rather in the mouth, at the opportune moment. Out it comes; and again another is needed, and that one follows, its predecessor, until the art is acquired with a facility that would have astonished Gulliver, or even Baron Munchausen himself. Now there is really no criminality in a little jocose lie, because it does not possess the ingredients necessary to con stitute a criminal and wilful lie. To do this, there must be, first, an unworthy motive: second, an intention to deceive ; and, third, somebody must be deceived. Any one of these, or all combined, con stitute the criminal or sinful lie; and no sensible, honest, right - person will be guilty of one. " There is, there can be, no necessity for its use. It is just as easy, and so much more honora. bie, to tell the truth on any and every occasion. But there are some who do not seem to take this view of the case. They prefer to leave the broad, straight | road of rectitude, and go into the narrow ; and crooked ways of error and deceit. Among this class can be found those I Scribblers for Northern Radical journals —those parasites who tat out our sub stance and then show their gratitude by | displays of the perfection to which they i have carried falsehood and detraction. And not only are newspaper correspond ents amenable to this charge, but men holding positions under Government in the South, also, who ought to know better, and they do know better. They write to their friends at the North, they communicate to their superiors, or they testify before Reconstruction Committees, that the South isstiil rebellious, disloyal, unworthy of being restored to its former position in the Union. They know that this is not true—and yet it has its effect. It is believed, in preference to the testimony of high minded, honorable, and intelligent ofli. cers of the army in our midst, and of our own distinguished and well known citizens. It is singular that this should be the case ; and it leads us to think that the art of believing lies is reaching as great a perfection as the art of lying itself. We wish tor the honor of hu manity—at least for the honor of this Nation, that it were otherwise; but it is an established fact, and we must do the best we can to remedy its evil effects — hoping, with the poet, that “Truth, crushed to earth will rise again— The eternal years of God are hers; flat error wounded, writhes in pain, And dies amid her worshippers. - ’ Governor Graham of North Carolina, in a recent communication to the National Intelligencer, enclosing a cor respondence with Mr. Fessenden, of the Reconstruction Committee of Congress, shows liow North Carolina has been tra. daced and misrepresented before the committee by an officer of the Freed man's Bureau, resident in .that State, while Mr. Graham's proposition to ad mit the Congressional delegations to the sittings of the committee, introduco testimony, and cross question witnesses, was refused. This is the way in which the South is to be misrepresented and kept out of the rights guaranteed to her by the Con stitution ; the rights to which her good faith and her unswerving loyally to the Government entitle her. Our worthy President has done and is doing what he can to combat this wicked policy; and we may hope that the cause of justice and truth may yet conquer for “truth is mighty and will prevnil,” notwithstanding the perfection to which the art of lying has reached, and the persistence with which our enemies in dulge in habit. “Tho brave and true may teem but few ; But Hope keeps better things iu view ; And the day shall yet appear, When tho might with the right and the Truth shall be; And coma what then may, to stand in the way, That day the world shall see."
