Till, body WAS H» W<rg cut *li a cotmnlcraMe Amount of work, in re<mrd to tk< South, anil the prawnt indicwtim* air that thin work will not be oomph-tod until the close of the session. It m-outs singular that, with such An overwhelm ing majority m , both brain.lies of the National Legislature, the Radicals should Hesitate to carry out their pro gramme to the lulluot extent. "e really believe that i( is their intention to do AO; but various eiren instances mai arise to induce them to modify their action eery to isnlrmUy. At ill events, we hope so. On Monday last, hills were introduced And referred, which were ol a more moderate character; and, at the some time, it iaaiMionncad, tkat the confute*- ting fever is abating. Ibis is gratifying, and it is to bo hoped, is only the pre cusser of more liberal And generous policy toward the South. The conciliatory tone of the Presi dent's Message has, doubtless, had a good effect upon the Congress ; and, it the Sooth will ouly be patient and con servative in its act.ou, good may result yet. Let ns not lose faith yet iu the good sense of the American people. Rich. —The following dispatch, which we Sod iu the New York Associated Press papers, shows to what straits they are reduced in order to make a little capital: I.OVISVILI.K SCFFERINO FOR WANT OP NEWS. Lovisvili.s, Ky., Pec. fi. —Since the Louisville press announced themselves iu favot of the bogus Craig Association* we hear many complaints from inteili gent citizens and business men of the meagerness ol the telegraphic reports. Now.directty the reverse of this is the truth. Since the Western and Southern Press cut loose from the New York Press and set up for themselves, the character of the reports has so vastly improved, and they are so much more full and comprehensive and in every way so much better than our old reports) that we and our readers are delighted at the change. It is aufheient to say that the Louisville press now publishes, every morning, more, fuller and better reports, and from a great many more points, than the boastful New York papers. But their bag of wiud is punctured, the people see and their readers understand it, and they very naturally felt sore at their .discomfiture. —Louisville (Ay.) Courier. History op the Confederate Navy. —One of the editors of the Mobile Tribune is endeavoring to collect mate rial for the purpose of writing a history ol the Confederate Navy. He requests all late officers of that branch of the Confederate service, and others connect ed with it, as well as officers of the United States Navy, to send to the Tribune office whatever information ther possess on the subject. The editor referred to in the above, savs: The service performed hy the late Confederate Navy was small compared with that done by our glorious army; but when we consider that the number ot men employed in the navy did not exceed that of a full brigade of the army ; and that the sailor can do nothing with out the help of the ship right, we shall see that the deeds of our little navy are worthy of being put on record—worthy the nation that ntl.ied en nujsxe to the standard of Johnston, Lee and Beaure gard. By this brigade of .Southern sea men we saw accomplished the battles by the Merrimac, the Albemarle and the Tennessee; the cruises of the Alabama, the Florida, the Georgia, the Shenan doah, etc., and the daring expeditions of M nod, Pelot and “faconey” Head. The writer of this wishes to embody the histo ry of the whole in a brief aud simple narrative. E.vousn Workmen-.— “An operative who knows what it is to have the screws put on him,” makes a curious statement as illustrating the coercive power of the working-men's aseocia tions of England : “For myself, and such of my fellows as I could name, if I durst, 1 inay truth fully avow, that we would not give six pence for the right to vote, knowing well that we would stand as much chance of being allowed to exercise it freely at an election as we have of using our discretion in joining or with holding onrselves from a strike in our trade. A word aliont that. Let a skilled workman, with a wife aud family depeudaut upon his exertions, receive notice that unless he conforms to the laws of the So-and-so strike, he will be looked on as a ‘black sheep,’ and dealt with acceordingly, and where is his independence? Why sir, it is a mockery and a shame to talk about it. We hold out, perhnps, fox a time and then down go onr names and we join. Some, perhaps, even of the better in structed among us, may think that this is all right ; but what I maintain is, that we have no option given us of de claring onr rest opinions. We must yield to numbers.”^ Death of a Prominent Odd Fbl z.ovr.—Josiah L. Laugher, Esq., Grand Master of the Grand Lodge I. 0. O. F. of Maryland, and G. P. of the Grand Encampment, in tin; same Order, departed this life about midnight on Sunday night lasi, at his late r.-si dence on Exeter street near Baltimore, jn the fifty third year of his age, from the effect!! of a carbuncle npou the hack, which bullied the skill of his attending physicians.
