Tiioiiifegonationo at Washington.
The Washington correspondents of the
Cincinnati Commercial, JNew York Tri
bune, Baltimore Bun and Charleston Cou
;iei speak very,confidently about thene
gCiiu.ions which have been going on in
V, ash ington of late between a certain lead
ing radical interest, represented by Judge
Ciia-e, and the President, in relation to an
adjustment of the restoration question on
the bads of “universal amnesty and im
panial suhiagt.” If i» asserted that the
l iesident has given tLe radicals iutima
fimi that lie will substantially adopt their
tiiat If au:Mg Democratic in
tfrests in tlie North are cooperating in
the mutter, and that certain prominent
Southern loliticians express the opinion
mat. thossouth will accept qualified negro
sMtfiage, iu preference to the proscriptions
contemplated by die (Joustiiutioualameud
ment. On the other hand, the President
has given assurance that there shall be no
more removals ol the radicals from office,
and that he will not insist upon recent
appointments, which may not be accepta
ble to the Senate.
If this tie tbe state of the case, it. is not
l ...... I'
{southern States may have anew question
precipitated upon them, which we must
look in the face and determine on the prin
cinle of a choice of evils. This question
will be whether it is better to accept re
storation and amnesty with “impartial
suffrage”— that is to say, suffrage irre
spective of color, and conditioned uj>on
certain qualifications of pi-operty, intelli
gence or both, applied equally to the
white and black races, or, on the other
hand, whether we will continue the exist
ing status, and submit to such additional
vexations, pains and penalties, as it is un
doubtedly in the power of the governing
States to inllict.
ft is not improbable that the great body
of the Northern Democrats will come into
this new programme, if agreed upon, and
that substantially it will be backed by
Congress, the Executive and an almost
unbroken Northern opinion. The pres
. ure upon tlie teoutlr v/iil therefore be very
great, and the refusal to accept the new
conditions may bo expected to create great
hiitalion, and excite a very re.eutle&s spir
it in the dominating {States, as well as the
general government.
It i.-, not our purpose to express any
opinion at this time, upon the policy
which the ,South should pursue in such
an emergency. Indeed we have uo opin
ion; and can have none until we have the
exact proposition before us. We must see
first what are the qualifications insisted
upon, or whether these are left to the dis
cretion of the {States? if the States are
allowed th© eon Mol iu this particular, we
can readily understand how they could
t enetit their condition by the requirement
oi qualifications, which, while they might
a!, tit a small minority of negro votes,
vvou.ld eject from the ballot box a mass of
nil-ri ft, the purchase of whiskey and to
bacco, secured by all the various corrupt
and deptrading coutrivauces by which
elect ion a are so often carried against good
sense ana public morality. Divesting
one's self ot ail prejudice, we say a change
in this partie. dar would be a vast improve
ment, and eve . y intelligent man, put up
on ljis lxmo', mid be bound to saj? so.
Tc/as the radii 1 idea- tool; probably %
to counterbalance i he white by the negro
vote, their scheme v ill doubtless prescribe
the qualifications anu' reduce the ballot to
a farce, besides making it a test struggle
for race supremacy whit h would be fatal
in its results upon social e ; 'der and securi
ty. We must wait and see precisely what
in proposed, and we would th n advise Un
people to act upon the pro posit *°n without
prejudices and under the most ex {lightened
judgment we can obtain oi its pro bk'ole ef
fect upon the political and social cmvii tion
of .the South. 11 is of vast importance to
heal this unequal quarrel if possible, am.
to effect ibis object we should oirit noth- i
ing which we can do consistently with j
honor and ilie permanent interests of the
South and the country.
A Festive Youth.
Not long ago a Prussian banker fled)
from Paris a bankrupt, after living a life
of great luxury, and being long known to
men of taste and fashion. His salons were
noted as the most brilliant rendezvous,
and his .efinement caused him to be sought
after by the titled, the wealthy, the diplo
matic world, artists, and literateurs of the
first rank and fame. In one night the
fairy fabric of his ideal existence was i
crushed. The next day he was in Brus-j
sels w ith only a dozen pieces of gold iu j
his pockc-t. He, who bad but to say the j
w ord to the vaults of the bank, the resour- j
ees of private capitalists, found himself a
beggar in one single mauvais quart d'.'tcue. j
The poor man lieu to England, and hid
himself lioin all observation. For six
months lie never stirred out of his wretch
ed garret ? none knew (how life was sus
tained. From a handsome man of 34, in
the full flush ot vigor, he sank to the ap
*h arauev of an old man of 8). His Irak
was v« liite, his back curved, his eyes sunk
en. and his cheeks hollow. Day and night
this miserable man is said to have w ept
over his sorrow and his past career. He
died cryiug. The hand of a poor fellow
countryman closed his eyes, and whatever
may have been his transgressions, few will
remember him otherwise than an orna
ment to society, and will grieve at his mis
fortune and blight of life ! His name was

OvßKi owi.KEn not Whipped.—A cor
respondent of the Louisville Courier, who
belonged to Harrison’s brigade iu Wheel
er's cavalry, referring to the closing scenes
of the war in North Carolina, tells iu the
following language an incident worthy of
a place in history !
The enemy had been pressing
Johnson, who was force-marching towards
Greensboro’, vigorously for several days,
aud coming suddenly upon our brigade
thus, it would seem at their mercy, with
wild yells, sabres gleaming above their
heads, they rushed upon us. The Elev
enth Texas being from the order in which
we were encamped, nearest the foe, rose
pistol in hands and met them on foot.
The enemy had made a terrible mistake.
He had charged withdrawn sabres, a thing
iaxaus had always laughed at. Now, the
rangers mounted in less time than it takes
to tell it, and with their unerring “navy
eix” were at work at the head of their
column, aud though reinforcements blued
the w hole back ground, yet too late, for
the route had begum aud only ended when
the enemy checked further pursuit by a
strongly formed line behind a fence, aud
and the eleven stars of the “lost cause’’
there went down victorious,

'roui the London Punch, November 3.]
Mr. Punch.— My Dear Sir: You didn’t*
,et a instructive article from my pen last
veek on account ofmy nervissistim bavin !
inderweut a dreffle shock. I got caugh :
u a brief shine of sun, and it utterly u-rsot |
me. I was walkin in Regent street one *
lay last weea, enjoyln your rich black fog j
aid bracing rains, when all at once the
iun bust out aud actooally shone for near-1
V half an hour steady. I acted promptly
I called a cab and told the driver to run
liis hoss at a friteful rate rate of speed to
my lodgings, but it wasn’t of no avale. I
lad orful cramps, my appytite left me,
and my pults went down to 10 degrees be-
I&w zero. But by careful nussin I shall no
doubt recover speedy, if the sparkhn and
exilerating weather continners.
[All of the foregoing issarc asum.]
It’s a sing’lar sack, but I never sot eyes
on your excellent British Mooseum till
the other day. I’ve sent a great many
people there, as also to your genial Tower
of London, however. It happened thusly:
When one of my excellent countrymen
j,es’ arrived in London would come and
- V, •«.- ;B-' ,n iHin»tlnn to Hint,
to me too lengthy, thus showin a respect
for me which I feel I do not deserve, I
would sugjest a visit to the Mooseum and
Tower; the Mooseum would ocepy him
a day at leest, aud the Tower another.
Thus we derived considerable peace and
comfort from them noble edifisses, and I
hope they will long continuer to grace
your metropolis. There’s my fren Col.
Larkins, from Wisconsin, wffio, I regret
to say, understands the Jamaica question
and wauts to talk with me about it; I
sent him to the Tower four days ago, aud
he hasn’t got through with it yit. He
likes it very much, aud he writes me that
he can’t never thank me sufficient for di
rectin him to so interestinabildin. I writ
him not to mention it. The Col. says it is
fortuit we liveiu a intellectooal age, which
wouldn’t countenance such infamus
things as oceurd in this tower. I’m aware
that it is fashin’ble to compliment this
age, but I ain’t so clear that the Col. is al
together light. This is a very respectable
age, but it’s pretty easily riled ; and con
sideriu upon how slight a provyeation wo
who live in it goto cuttin each other’s
throats, it may perhaps be doubted wheth
er our intellecks is so much massiver than
our ancestors’ intellecks was, after all.
I alius ride outside with the cabman.
I am of humble parentage, but I cave (if
you will permit me to say so) the spirit of
the eagle, which chafes when shut up in
a four-wheeler, aud I feel much eagler
when I’m iu the open air. So on the
mornin on which I went to the Mooseum
I lit a pipe, aud callin a cab, I told the
driver to take me there as quick as his
Arabian charger could go. The driver
was under the inflooence of beer, and nar
rerly escaped runnin over an aged female
iu the match trade, whereupon I remon
strated with him. I said, “That poor old
woman may he the only mother of a
young man like you.” Then throwing
considerably pathos into my voice’ I said,
“You have a mother?”
He said, “You lie!” I got down aud
called another cab, but said nothin to rhis
driver about his parents.
/ T’le British ia a magnificent
•pie. 1. -ra raja open
for the benefit of all.
The humble costymonger who traverses
the busy streets with a cart containing all
kinds of vegetables such as carrots, tur
nips, etc., and drawn by a spirited jack-
I ass—he can go to the Mooseum and reap
benefits therefrom us well as the lord of
high degree.
“And this,” I said, “is the British
: Mooseum ! These noble walls,” I contin
! ued punching • hem with my umbreiler to
| see if the masonry was all right—but I
i wasnt, allowed to finish my enthoosiastic
i remarks, for a man with a gold band on
1 his hat said, in a hash voice, that I must
L top pokin the walls. 1 told him I would
•so by all means. “You see,” I said,
tak 'ng hold of the tassel which waved
from tlie man’s belt, and drawin him
close tv Ime m a confidential way, “You
see I’m looking round this Mooseum, aud
if I like i. fc I shall buy it.”
Instid ofl> rfla Heartily at these remarks,
which was n l ade in a goakin spirit, the
man frow ed riarkly atid walked away.
I first visited -*he stu.Ted animals, of
which the gorillas interested me most.
These simple-minded men ~ters live in
Afriky, and are believed Jo le human be
ins to a slight ex tent, altho’ thtA are not
allowed to vote. In this depart, ment is
one or two superior giraffes, I never
woulded I were a bird, but I’ve s. >rue
times wished I wasxi giraffe, on accoum of
tlie long distance from his mouth to h» s
stommuck. Hence, if he loved beer, one
mugful wmuld give him as much enjoy
ment while goin down as forty mugfuls
would ordinary persons. And be would’ut
get intoxicated, which is a beastly way of
amusiu oneself, I must say. I like a lit
tle beer now and then, and when the tee
totallers inform us, as they frekently do,
that it is vile stuff, and thateven the swine
shrink from it, I say it only shows that
the swine is a ass who don’t know what’s
good; but to pour gin and brandy down
one’s throat as freely as though it were
fresh milk, is the most idiotic way of go
ing to the devil that I know of.
I e"jayed myself very much looking at
the Egptian mummys, the Greek vaseis,
etc., but it occurred to me there was ray
ther too many “Roman antiquitys of a
uncertain date. Now r , I like the British
Mooseum, as I sed afore, but wnen I see a
lot of erthern jugs and pots stuck up on
shelves, and all “of a uncertain date,” I
are at a loss to ’zaetly determin whether
they ate a thousand years old or was
bought recent. I can cry like a child over
a jug one thousand years old, especially if
it is a Roman jug; but a jug of uncertain
date doesn’t overwhelm me with emotion.
Jugs aud pots of a uncertain age is doubt
less vallyable property, but, like the de
bentures of the London, Chatham and
Dover Railway, a man doesn't want too
many of them.
I was debarred out of the great readin
room. A man told me I must apply by
eltter for admission, and that I must get
sombody to testify that I was respectable.
I’m a little fraid I shant get in there.—
Seen a elderly gentlemen, with abenever
lent looking face, near by, I ventured to
ask him if he would certify that I was re
spectable. He said he would not, but he
would put me in charge of a polieemau, if
that would do me any good. A thought
struck me. “I refer you to Mr. Punch,” I
said.
“Well,” said a man who had listened to
my application, “you have done it now!
You stood some chance before.” I will
get this infamous wretch's name before
you go to press, so you can denounce him
in the present number of your excellent
journal.
The statute of Appollo is a pretty, slick

over the head with a hayfork; but here,
in the presence of Art, he is a changed

I told the attendant that if the British
nation, would stand the expense of a mai
ble bust of myself, I would willingly eit to
some talented sculpist. “I feel,” 1 said,
“that this is a dooty I owe to posterity.”
He said it was hily prob’l, but he was in
clined to think that the British nation
wouldn’tcare to enrich the Mooseum with
a bust of me, altho' he ventured to think
that if I paid for one myself it would be
acoephxi cheefully by Madam lussaud,
who would give it a prominent position in
her Chamber of Horrers. The young man
was very pol.te, and I tbaukt him kindly.
After visitin the refreshment room and
partakin of half a chicken of an uncertain
age,’, like the Roman antiquitys I have
previously spoken of, I prepared to leave.
As I passed through the animal room I ob
served with pane that abenevolint per
a cold muffin, bull did not feel called
on to remonstrate with him, any more
than I did with two young persons of dif
ferent sexes who had retired behind the
ry nosserhoss, to squeeze each other’s hands.
In sack I rayther approved of the latter
proceedin, for it carried me back to the
«uuny spring-time ofmy life. I’m in the
shear andyeller leaf now ; but I don’t for
git the lime when*to squeeze my Betsy’s ;

never s juozed that gentle hand without

it did me good.

Profits of Literature in England.
A Loudon letter in the Chicago Tribune
maintains that this is the golden age of
literary men as regards the prosperity of !
their private circumstances, aud goes into i
details as follows :
As Charles Dickens him self made known ,
the dispute with bis wife, there is nohauu
in alluding to it, or in concluding fro?
the fact that he allows her X >UO a year,
and that he keeps up both a town and ,
country house on a scale of considerable j
expense, that his income is not less than ■
£3,000 or £4,000 a year, probably yet more, j
His periodical All the Year Round pro- ;
duces him nearly half that sum, and his .
“Readings” in public are worth £SOO a
year. Mr. Dickens is generous and sym- j
pathetic—always ready with his puree in
a good cause, and also with his influence.
Mr. Trollope has a good income in a gov-j
eminent office, to begin with. He keeps
his hunters, and is splendicly mounted at
the sport. He usually has a house full of;
company, though he works as hard an any :
man I know. He is in no danger of want, j
even though the American Congress ad- j
heres to its unfair and suicidal course.
Kingsley’s professorship at Cambridge, !
though it appears to have taken every i
drop of manliness out of him, has at least
supplied him with a competent income |
and added considerably to the means;
which his church living already supplied, j
Offfriend Tapper, v. hat shall be said? He !
is an pupou-ofy »
his works in America, and invariably re- j
curs to it in talking of the contemptuous j
treatment he meets with from critics at i
home, and on a beautiful estate in Surrey j
thanks his stars that if the censors |
are against him, he can thrust a hundred
editions in their faces. Alfred Tennyson,
had he no pension, would still be a rich
mail. The author of “Ten Thousand a
I Year” ruminates iu the opuiencact a High
ly paid judicial office for which he has
only part recommendations. Miss Evans
has but to lift up her finger, and half the
publishers of London would run to her and
bid to a preposterous figure for her liter
ary favors. Os the religious authors, the
McLeods, and Guthries, and {Spurgeons, 1
can only say that theirs is tlie most pros- j
perous calling of any, equaling even Mr.
Boucicauit’s pay for new dramas, which is ;
a bold statement to make. In a word, the j
poor author, who is at the same time de
serving, can hardly be said toexi t m Eng
land at the present time.
A Point in Morals.—We notice that |
a Boston clergyman caused somewhat of a i
sensation a few days since by announcing
to his Church that he had purchased and
perused one of the books which lias been
recently denounced as scandalously and
grossly immoral, aud whose title lie gave.
He then took occasion to defend the book
against the charge of immorality, and
thus, having piqued curiosity, doubtless
secured hundreds of purchasers for it
among his congregation. We observe
that another clergyman has taken the
trouble to inform his audience that he
ban visited a theatre in which a play was
being performed, which he had heard de
nounce*.i as scandalously and grossly im
moral, an d as h e took care to let his hear
ers know w.*' at play he referred to, lie has
doubtless doniff his share iu in< rearing the
multitudes of victors it. The defense
made by both of ffhese parties l<>r their
cause in these matte.”**— to - r eac h °* them
seemed to think it needed a defense—wa
that they were determined t° Rain foi
themselves whether these th m S B "Inch
ware denounced as immoral, w ere icaiij
as they were reported. Wc cert. a ‘niy uo
not propose to argue that matter in •>“.»
way with these clergymen, or any 'Aheis
of like mind. We supposed that the
eiple involved had been pretty well B€t -"
tied by moralists long before now. t ut
why should the Christian pulpit be mad, and
an advertising medium for what nobody
certainly will claim to be a Christian ob- 1
ject?— New York Times.
The Fenian authorities in New
York are said to be making active prepra

The Fidgety Thing.
It’s just a? you scy, neighbor Green,
A treasure indeed is my wife;
Such another for bustle aud work
1 never have found in my life.
But then she keeps every one else
As busy as birds on the wing;
There is never a moment for rest,
Rke is such a fidgety thing.
She makes the best bread in the town,
Her pies are a perfect delight,
Her coffee a rich golden brown,
Her crullers and puddings just right.
But then, while I eat them die tells
Os the care aud the worry they bring,
Os the martyr-like toils she endures,
0, she’s such a fidgety think !
My itouse is neat as a pin—
You should see how the door-handles
shine —
Aud all of the soft-cushioned chairs
And nicely swept tloors are mine.
But then she so frets at the dust,
At a fly, at a straw, or a string,
That I stay out of doors all I can,
She is such a fidgety thing!
She doctors the ueigboors; O, yes;
If a child has the measles or croup,
She is there with her saffron and squills,
Her dainty-made gruels aud soup.
But then she insists on her right
Tp physic my blood in the spring,
And she takes the whole charge of my 1
bile,
O, she,s such a fidgety thing!
She knits all my stockings herself;
My shirts are bleached white as snow;
My old clothes looks better than new.
But then if a morsel of lint
Or dust to my trousers should cling,
I ’in sure of one sermon at least,
She is such a fidgety thing.
You have read ofaspirit so meek,
Ho meek that it never opposes,
Its own it dares never to seek, —
Alas! lam meeker than Moses!
But then I am not reconciled
The subordinate music to sing,
I submit to get rid of a row,
Bhe is such a fidgety thing.
It’s just as you say, neighbor Green,
A treasure to me has been given ;
But sometimes I fain would be glad
To lay up my treasure iu Heaven.
But then every life has its cross,
Most pleasures on earth have their
sting,
She’s a treasure, I know, neighbor Green,
But she’s a fidgety.thing.
Mrs. C. H. Gardner.
Another of the Railroad Robbers |
Captured.
On Friday nignt two more of the gang
of robbers who attacked and bnrnt the
train near Franklin Kentucky, were
brought to this city aud placed in the mil
itary prison. Their names are Johu Cor
bett, and Robert Hoy, the negro, who was
one of the leading spirits in the affair.
Yesterday another man, John Evans, was
brought to this city and placed in jail.
The entire party engaged in the robbery,
thirteen in number, are ia the hands of
the authorities. The man Evans wascap-
a cavk s lour mika iTOLi
Franklin. He made a full confession and
gives a plain, straightforward statement of
how the affair was originated and ca-ried
out. His confession is substantially the
same as the one made by (Stephen Card
well, This caplure puts an end to raids
upon the Nashville Railroad and our citi
zens can now travel over it in safety.
None of the citizens who made the cap
ture were membersof Morgan’s command
and was stated by a contemporary, neither
were they actuated by a desire of pecunia
ry reward, as the organizatiou of the com
pany of citizens that made the capture
was commenced a few hours after the out
rage was committed, and before any re
ward was offered for the apprehension of
thevillians. All praise is due the gallant
citizens of Franklin for the untiring ener
gy with which they hunted down and
brought to justice these outlaws. — Louis

A Fish Story.—About the strangest
thing we ever heard of occurred here on
last Friday. Mr. Hchoelhurtz, a well
known German citizen, went fishing at
the lighthouse dock with a couple of
friends. Their luck did not seem to bo
very good, and the interest in the sport
naturally began to flag. While Mr. Schoel
burtz was examing his watch, a very fine
one, his line being carelessly in the water,
a fish jerk so startled him that, iu
trying to grasp it with the other hand,
lie let go of his watch, which struck his
knee and bounded off’ into the water, his
line parting at the same instant with a
sudden snap. When nearly back to the
starting point, they were overtaken by a
fishing boat, and being ashamed of exhib
iting their “catch” to their <v iends, as un
lucky fisherman always are,'t. iy conclud
ed to buy a few fish. Mr. Hchoelhurtz bought
an eight-pounderbass and three small ones.
As he was carrying the fish home, he
thought he saw something sticking in its
gills, which on closer inspection, proved
to be a fish hook that very much resembled
the one he had lost iu the afternoon, and
it was with a kind of savage joy that he
anticipated the pleasure of eating the
prime cause of his ill luck ; but strangest
of all, upon cutting the fish open, he found
his watch, which had not stopped tick
ing '.—Eric { Pa.) Dispatch.
North Carolina Asa Cotton State.
—The Raleigh Sentinel has an article un
der this head, in which it asserts that
North Carolina is destined to rank with
the leading cotton States in the South,
and hopes that in the next year every one ,
in the cotton region of the State (about
two-fifths of its area) will make great ef
forts to raise the large crop possible in
conjunction with bread and meat. The
fitness of the climate for the production of
cottou; its healthfulness and the improved
system of culture, under which, it says,
the soil continues to improve and grow ;
richer, are advanced as reasons for this as
sertion. The Sentinel concludes:
We are advised by those who have been
investigating the subject for some years,
tha t an experience of ten years in the cul
tivation of cotton, both in this State and
the Houth and West, will exhibit, at the
end of that time, a decided advantage in
favor of the cropping in this State.

nayther of us.”

working of a rubber diaphram under each,

milk and passes it into the centre receiv

sits up to the cow as usual, places the four
teats in the tea-cup, works the hamllo
slow ly back and forth, and, like fburcalver.
he milk the cow; like them, also, tin*
machine draws and stops drawing to swal

milking was entirely completed, inclu
