I didn’t write aline of it; I havn’t seen it yet; I don’t know what Pi nion Cameron wrote about civil service reform; and Sam Bard about one'term; and Judge Kelly about a sound currency; and Grant who hasn’t much education, or religion, or acquaintance with the Constitu tion, or regard for it, about tbe school question; or Spencer and Packard about the South: or Bab cock about tbe punishment of all public, officers who betray public trusts; or Logan about frugality in public affairs; or Morton about a fraternal spirit of harmony.

The Governor haul ed me out by tlie collar. “Wh you?' “A reporter.” “Did you hear what I said ?’* “Every word of it.” “My dear fellow,” said th Governor, shaking mo by the hand, “the press is tho palladium of our liberties, aud the Archimedean lever that moves the world. I knew you were there all the time, and Mrs. Hayes and I liad all that conversa tion to fool you. A fraternal spirit of harmony should pervade you and me at the beginning of the second century of our existence as a nation that we may make it permanent as an era of good feeling and a period progress, prosperity and happi ness.

[We are permitted to copy the following from the scrap-book of a young lawyer formerly of Co lumbia county, who died in 1856.— In these days when suicide seems to have become an epidemic, these lines, written a quarter of a cent im ago, are singularly appropriate.] Think not harshly of the suicide —we seldom if ever understand, or appreciate the feeling, that impel him lo the couiission of so sad and rash an act Then: is a difference between life sufferings of an ordinary mind account, of a sudden aud heavy misfortune, and those winch result from au extfemtf senSP tiveness; a keen susceptibility to flic ills and evils of ordinary life. * Time, and the recuperative properties of the mind will overcome the former, but every days brings but a fresh infiiction of the latter. Both should be met with all fortitude and patience but the morbid sensitive mind is more apt to shrink from the encoun ter, and to brood in silence over its sufferings; its sweetest solace is the sympathy of kindred spirits, when these cau be found. But these are rare the great mass of those around us seem to have but little sensibility—seldom feel acutely.— Talk to them of disquietude and ten t il anguish, in the absence of ,ny palpable misfortune, and instead of kindly interest, may be observed, an ill disguised smile of derision, or a vacant stare serves to disclose how incomprehensible such feelings are to them. They cannot understand how any one with fair prospects in life, can really be unhappy. Are not such persons to l>e envied ?— But all are not thus fortunately con stituted. Happiness or the enjoy ment of life depends not entirely up on external circumstances, and many who are considered fortunate by tlie world, not uufrequently feel their lives a burden, which they would gladly exchange for the long and quiet rest of the grave. And were it not that the final character of the act precludes tlie possibility of forgiveness, would lay violent hands on their own existence. “For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, the oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely, the pangs of dispised love, the insolence of office, aud the spurns that patient merit of the nuwortliey takes, where lie himself might his quietus make, with a bare bodkin. Who would b$ar the thousand natural ills that flesh is heir to, but that tho dread of something after death, the nndiscov cd country from whose bourne no traveler returns, pu/^les tho will and make us rather bear the ills we have, than fly to others that know not of ?”• Think not harshly of the suicide. Feb’v 1848. * R. E. W. I fart rid se on tbe Floor. The follow ing from the eloquent Hartridgc, on the Hamburg affair, we clip from the Concessional Record: Mr. Hartridge: 1 did not intend to participate further iu this debate, for certain words which have fallen lrom the £entlemen from Iowa (Mr. Kasson) who has just taken his seat. I desire to state to that gentle man aud to this house, simply as a repetition of what I had the honor to otter in his hearing on Saturday last, that I deplore tills occurrence as much as any gentleman upon this floor; that tbe people of the State ol Georgia de plore and. as 1 then said, I now say tnat the people of Georgia, through more surpriscihihaii when you called Xu\ it and Managing a Wife. During a recent severe storm, it blew open a glass door in John Hen ry’s bed room and aroused the start led sleeper with a crash. ‘^Irs. Henry/ said John, imddcl- ing under the bcd-dotlies to escape the chilling blast, “your side of tlie bed is nearest to the door; will you be kind enojigh to shut it?’ *Shnt it yourself, you brute, I have the baby to attend to.’ ‘Mrs. Henry-, that is not a proper way to address me—it is not respect ful; besides I have not been feeling well, and if I were to catch cold I should not be able to attend to bus iness on to-morrow.’ ‘pold ! Cold, is it! It's a pretty thing for you to be talking of colds, when I go sniffing all around the house from morning till night, just be cause you can’t afford anew furnace. I won't shut that dcor if I’m froze for it. And yon are a brute to ask it.’ ‘Don’t get excited, Mrs. Henry, don’t get excited. And don’t be abu sive, for abuse will not force me to move from my warm bed. And if you don’t shut that door, it will stay open all night, and that will make us all sick. A solemn silence fell for a few minutes on the domestic scene, then Mrs. Smith rose to business. An ger was not visible on her counte nance so much as astonishment.— This was entirely a new deportment of John’s. He had hitherto been meek and docile when pressed to the wall. She felt her supremacy was in danger; that the situation was critical and demanded strong what you say here.” “J/adaia,” was the reply of the Governor, in a, tone full of suppressed passion, ‘You will not understand me. measures. Suddenly the water pitcher shot wildly from her upraised hand, and lighted full upon John’s night cap; the slop pail followed, then the coal scuttle, then a pair of boots, then the baby’s cradle followed in rapid succession by a powder box, a bot tle of bay rum, a bronze mantle or nament a pair of tongs and a box of blacking. Then, wiUi a majestic re source of true womanhood,she snatch ed tho coverlet and blankets from the bed with one hand and poured Slow the Sioux Fight. Tho Denver (Col.) Xeic* print: letter which givos an interesting i count of Gen. Crook’s recent battle with the Indians. The writer 'The Sioux were all splendidly mounted, and so long as pressed did much of their firing ou horse back Home of the most reckless feats of emiestrians imaginable were performed by them within range of the broadsides of au entire company. In numerous instances one or two worriers dashed out from behind their covers of rocks, hugged close to the neck of tho pony and half bounded, half tumbled down the nearly verti cal banks after a bold Crow, Snake, or white skirmisher, delivered a shot or two, and like a flash disappeared in spite of volleys sent after them. Up hill or down, over rocks, through canyon, and in every conceivable dangerous condition of affairs their break neck riding was accomplished. One reckless brave got badly press ed by our cavalry, at a certain point i the field, and jerking out his bow- j knife he slashed apuxe his saddle jirt, slipped it with all its strap pings from under him while his po ny was at full speed, and thus unen cumbered made his escape. So near did the Indians approach our skirmishors at times that they inflic ted several wounds with battle-axes, lances and arrows, and in one or two instances they closed in upon a a brave soldier and got his scalp be fore comrades could rush forward to his rescue. They repeatedly courted death by endeavoring to secure the bodies of their own dead, One instance of this kind was plain ly risible to many of us, An Indian riding along the bluff was, with his pony, made the target for dozens of rifles, uud rider, pony and all tum bled head over heeLs down the hill side. Two braves immediately cal lied forth for the body of their de funct brother, but one of these also fell before it was reached. The oth er seemed to think one live Indian better than two dead ones, and has tily scrambled back. Another war rior met him, however, and persuad ed him to go olonjg on a second trial About tho time the lxxlies were readied a pony was shot, and both Indians, then thoroughly de moralized made for cover and reach ed it in safety. One thing is an ab solute certainty, and that is the fact that the Sioux had staked a great deal on this battle, and that their fighting was, consequently, little less that savage frenzy or the fight- mg of demons. their press, arc calling for rigorous and thorough aud vigorous investiga tion of this matter, aud staud pledged, when the truth is elicited, to stamp with their condemnation all who are to blame aud to aid iu their punish ment. Can anything be clearer or plainer than that? I not only deplore but it I here pledge my constituents, I pledge my State trough its official au thorities, to au! in the investigation of this matter aud to punish those who are guilty. But I desire to wail until we learn who arc guilty. I am not prepared now, from what I have heard and what I have read, to give my judgement as to who is guilty or who innocent. 1 am not prepared to say upon this floor that the people of South Carohua, white or black arc guilty in this transaction I am not prepared to stamp Governor Chamberlain or his Attorney General and to give this judgment now. I wait for the evi dence that is to be given under oath I wait for the evidence upon which the Governor of South Carolina shall base his official action; and if lie sees lit to demand any one from the Stale of Georgia who has been guilty of this crime, when that demand comes, bas ed upon his official investigation, bas ed upou!evidcnce setting forth the facts, my word for it, the authorities of Georgia will respond according to justico and the Constitution. NYiiy, Sir, gentlciueu upon tho other side ol the House do uot understand our con dition to-day iu the &outh. You seem to think that-h all the time a war of races there between the blacks aud the whites. Is iLnotour interest to live together there in peace? Is not the black race the only race fit to fur- uUU.iis in labor? Must not the white races furnish the capital? Is it not the interest of capital and labor Iq live peace and friendship? Why then should wo provoke these disturban ces? Why should wo excite these outrages? Why should we seek to overturn and subvert all the means of our prosperity and hapiness? The cu pidity of the North, engaging in (he African slayc trade, put iliis race in our midst as slaves. The power oi the North has left them to us as free men. Tiierc they must live; with them we must live; and unless the two races live in accord and harmony there is no future of happiucss or prosperity for us. More than that there is some thing iu the hearts ^f Southern people. Wc are not savages. There is some feeling ou our part toward this race among whom we were born and rear cd and with whom wc daily live.- There is scarcely oue of us upon this floor from that section who cau look back to the days of his infancy or child hood without seeing something to bring up pleasant and loved memo ries in connection with this race. For my part, were T. to outrage this race* there would rise to rebuke me the memory of my infant years—the memory of her whose bosom although dark with the hue of slavery, yet ten derly ami softly pillowed my infant head; whose.liands, ahhough harden ed by toil, yet kindly ministered to my infant wants, whose voice, although untraiued and untutored, sweetly sang the lullaby that soothed my in fant slumbers. I tell you gentlemen, there are ties of interest, there are lies of memory and the best emotions of the heart to bind the while people of the South to the colored race. [Ap plause] Can’t Understand It; $>ah. A correspondent of the Contier- Journal, returning from the Cincin nati Convention, stales that on board the steamer Potomac speeches were made to kill time. After several speeches by prominent white Repub licans, a negro delegate, a rather res* pcctablc-looking old Virginia darkey, was called on, aud made the Inflow iug remarks, which wore tinted down at the time: Mil Pkkmuknt ani> Ladies and Gentlemen of dk Convention— If de captiu of dis steamboat liad pinled a gun at de pilot, and said he was going to kill him, I couldn't been Who Did That! Tie Pittsburgh Mail tells this butter story: “Iu this city there is a private boarding house which is a kind of a rendezvous fur young men. Some time ago tlie landlady made purchase of aomo batter. Among tho lot was a lump rather ftg»*d. It was put oci a table, but no one there fork butter. The next day it was on another table.— So it passed around unmolested, and at the end of the week tho landlady was puzzled to know what with it. It cost too much to on did old Virginy nigger to make a speech. I havn't got much to say, so it won’t take long to say it. We nig gers in de South have somehow or oder got dc notion in our heads you white Republicans have gone back ou us. When you want office you come down among us, and its nigger for breakfast, nigger for dinner, and uig- gcr all de time. When wc come to you and want some of our wrongs fixed up, you say, “IHiy don’t you fight for your rights?’’ Dere's fight in But we’ve tried lightin*. When ever a fight docs happen, dere's n white man gets his finger cut, another gets his back bruised, and one loses his hat—but dere's fifty niggers killed. Wc don’t like dat kind of fightin’, and we don’t want any more of it.” Tbe old uegro continued that his race preferred Blaine because they knew him. They didn't kuow Hayes, and didn’t want him, but would sup port him. lie would bo necessarily weak among them, and couldn’t hope for the support Blaine would receive. This speech is no imagiuary one, but the verbatim utterances of a repre sentative Southern negro, and is a truthful iudex of the tceling among them. uuuwauiuu nit. x U1C ucu WIUI OUC UiUiu uuu puUTCU am just as responsible for that tl—d I a pitcher of ice-water over John letter (here Mrs. Hayes put her tiny, l Henry’s leg’s with the other.

A benevolent looking man enter* a drinking saloon, followed soon after by a wiry little fellow who invite* No. 1 to take a drink and a cigar. The liquor is swallowed, tbe cigar* are lighted, when suddenly Xo. 2 exclaims: “For thirty long year* X have followed your trail day and night! Yoa broke up my happy fam ily, viuian that you are, bat now come out here and fight me like a man!” “I will fight yoa to the death T is the determined reply, sad both rush into tbe bock yard. The agita ted barkeeper runt to tbe front door, whistles for a policeman, and harries to the back door just in lime to see a ooat tail disappearing otct tbe fence. Then he begins to realize tbe situa tion. WHEEL to Shoot Jimi’ino Cows.—-From a low fence Granger wc learn tlmt the proper place to shoot a jumping cow in in tho hack part of the hind loot. Shoot with small shot at a range of ten or twelve steps. Tin* will make the foot sore, and tlie cow, having to throw her whole weight on the hind feet to jump, will be prevented by tho itorc- nes*. Shoot but one foot, as it may be necessary to give another applica tion before the crop is gathered, aud you will have one well foot to operate on. The gentleman giving this iulor mat ion ha* had a good deal of expe rience and can be rcltcd on.—Homt lurnul. The Latest Yankee Notion.- The newesf thing in neck wear are the campaign neck-ties.

It ha* been suggested that they be universally* worn, for the ben -fit of canvasser* in estimating the party vote. Congressman Foster, (rep.) lrom Ohio, tried his voice In the House tlie other day on the //amourg affair, and in the course ol hi* remar k* »aid that if Ihe Southern democrat* would de nounce and condemn, and put an end to these outrage*, the Republicans would fall upon their ucck*. “You must not fell upon our neck,” said Gen- Cook, grimly. -You have fallen on our property and right* a* it is ; and uow you want to (ol! on our neck*.” Are yoa a Christian */ ’ aske<l a minixter of a forlorn looking man at an inquiry meeting, w;u» had taken a front seat No/ ho an- nwered sadly.
