that the President is about to unhorse

that the South must remain under milita

At the next session, too, the attempt

Committees of the House have this matter
in charge, and are P> report at the next

Radical denial of tlieconstitutional right of

The United States is to he left without a
Minister to Mexico. The Senate rejected
the nomination of General AlcClornurd,
of Illinois, as Minister to the Republic of
Mexico, and also that of Mr. Otterberg, as
Secretary of Legation. The latest and
most authentic intelligence shows that
that distracted country is destined to re
peat its history of the last half century.—
We learn that Gen. Santa Anna has turn

The Surratt trial is drawing to a close.—
The counsel for the defence are disposed to
submit the case upon the evidence, with
out argument. The general impression
from the testimony, as published, is, that
the accused must be acquitted. Surratt is
indicted for conspiring in the assassination
of Lincoln, and it is asked whether if he
be acquitted of that charge, he can be in
dicted for a less offence ? Lawyers say
that he may be indicted for a conspiracy
to abduct President Lincoln, even though
the plot for abduction failed. But it is
hardly probable that the Government will
pursue the matter further.
Meanwhile, the whole subject of the
conspiracy to assassinate or abduct Mr.
Lincoln is undergoing a searching investi
gation before Gen. Ben. F. Butler’s Com
mittee. Much important testimony, going
to clear Surratt and his mother, also, from
the charge of connection with the assas
sination, has already been adduced before
it.
Congress passed a Bill at the close of the
session, providing that negroes should be
entitled to hold otlice and serve on juries
in this district, ami directing that at the
next terms of the courts the jurymen shall
lie drawn from lists of black and white
citizens. The President did not return the
Bill. Ho will pocket it and state his ob
jections at thenext session when Congress
will repass it. The same provision will be
required in the Constitutions of all the ex
cluded Htates, and in those States now
represented which may be permitted to
remain in the Union. Leo.
“ Good News. ”
“ Nabob,” the Georgia correspondent of
the Louisville Courier, in a recent letter
discourseth as follow's about a certai a per
son who lives upon a high mountain, and
truly wo do pay the penalty, when we
turn our backs upon principle :
I have one piece of good news among all
the gloom. Jo. Brow n is thrown over
board by the Georgia Radicals, and lie
now occupies about the position which the
Third party does in Kentucky. He is
neither fish, flesh, fowl or red herring.—
Southern men refuse to acknowledge him.
The Conservative Republicans havfe no
faith in him, and the Radicals reft>«e to
trust him. The negro trader has put Ins
nose out of joint completely; and even
Pottish Farrow, who always wanted to
betray the Government that paid him,has
a much better chance of preferment than
)Kior Joseph, who was “ horn and raised in
Calhoun’s district.” I understand that
the cordial relations which used to subsist
between him and Mr. A. H. Stephens have
ceased entirely, aud that Judge Linton
Stephens!brother of the|ex-Vice President)
openly denounces Jo. in unmeasured lan
guage. In Miliedgeville, where for eight
years he “ lived in clover,” none is so
poor as to do him reverence. He wrote to
a gentleman who owns a public Hall in
that city, to engage it for one of his last
harraugues, and he received for reply : “T
would not let you have it even if you were
to pay me all the money you *from
the Treasury of the State of Georgia.”—
Another gentleman whom he invited to
come andlmar him speak, replied: " I am
thoroughly convinced fruit you area traitor
to your country without hearing the con
fession from your’ own lips.” In short,
Joseph is played out. He whines a good
deal about ingratitude, and disclaims Rad
icalism, and is now a good deal in the situ
ation of the donkey between the two bund
les of liay.
I witnessed the other day a remarkable
illustration of the “ better Government of
the rebel States.” I saw one of the lirst
best and most honest of Georgian’s most
gifted sons, mounting the stepsof tiie City
Hall in Macon, together with his servant,
who was one off his slaves. The former
went into a room to the right to pay a
large sum for taxes, and the latter went to
the left to register his vote. The slave
governs and the master'finds the money.
Wouldn’t Fight. —One of those name
less creatures who are engaged in poison
ing the minds of the negroes throughout
the Houth, made a speech not lo.ng since
at a certain village in this State, in which
he took occasion to denounce, in very
harsh language, the colored registrar of
that district, on account of his conserva
tism. The registrar challenged him, and
he very characteristically and incontinent
ly “crawfished!”
On the same occasion, and after this
creature had finished his speech, an ex-
Con federate officer mounted the stand and
denounced his statements and language as
those of a liar’ a sneak and a* scoundrel.
The creature cowered in one corner half
soared to death, and the negroes were
so disgusted that they would not resent,
even in words, the insult to their cham
pion.

The Chorus Deepens.— The organs of

still assail him with all the pointless
weapons that fill the arsenal of a bad
cause.
A writer in the Savannah Republican of
Tuesday, who veils his identity under the
murky light of ***, is his last assailant.
We suspect the author to be the gentle
man who, not one month since, declared
that: "Next to a usurpation of power,
there is no higher grade of political crime
than a timid abandonment of rights.”—
Mr. Hill, with passionate eloquence and
irresistible logic, implores his countrymen
not to commit this crime, and straightway
upon his trail opens a chorus of ridicule
and invective! Mr. District Attorney, if
you are this last assailant, you have learn
ed the taste of brave words chewed and
swallowed, sooner than we thought.
Singular Com hi nations.— A lady re

has been, it is said, the cause of much
shoulder shrugging and eye-brow lilting
among that excitable people. It is this :
Louis Phillipe came to the throne in
1830. He was horn in 1773. Add this to
1830 so that the figures 1 7 7 3 shall stand
in the same column with the cipher in
1830, and you have a total of 1848—the year
of liis dethronement and flight from Paris.
His wife was born in 1701 ; add this the
same way to 1830, and 1848 results again.
He was married in 1809; add these figures
similarly, and still it is 1848.
Louis Napoleon became Emperor in
1852. Add his birth, 1808, as above direct
ed, and 1809 results. His wife was born in
1820; add that, and 1809 is the answer.—
He was married in 1853 ; add that, and
still the result is 1809.
Will that year witness the setting of his
sun, as 1848 did that of his predecessor ?
Severe But True. —The Chicago Times
expresses its opinion an respect to negro
suffrage in the following forcible words :
The attempt to make the negroes domi
nant hi the South through the agency of
a military despotism is a crime in com
parison with which the rebellion was a
virtue. There is every element of mean
ness in it. It is a cowardly revenge. It
is a doc'a. Jon by white American citizens
that ignorant and degraded negroes are
their superiors. It is a prostitution of
government. It is the elevation of sin
and ignorance over intelligence and virtue.
Hell is not punishing a crime moreenorm
ous or one which approaches it in mean
ness. The military commander who will
lend itself to its perpetration is putrid. He
is working for the accomplishment of a
villiany more horrid and loathsome than
was perpetrated by the hoary old lecher
Cenci.

Bankruptcy.
How it Affects the Rlitor, and the Creditor, and the
Assignee—an Rasy Way to pay old Debts.
THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF BANKRUPTS.
There are two kinds of bankruptcy
known to the lawyers— voluntary ami
involuntary. A debtor may be declared a
bankrupt on the petition of himself or of
any creditor. In either case he must
reside within the United .States, and owe
debts from which he may be discharged,
exceeding three hundred dollars. If the
bankrupt is a petitioner he is required to
take the oath of allegiance, otherwise not.
Petitions by the debtor himself will, at
the outset, be subject to the discussion of
the authority of this part of the law, hut
this need occasion no alarm, and besides
the argument cannot be avoided by a
resort to the second method, unless the
case presents some of the acts specified in
the law, as evidences of an intent to de
fraud his creditors or avoid the payment
of his debts. If a man is dishonest and
attemps to avail himself of his privileges
of the bankrupt law, he ought not to be
surprised to find some difficulties in being
declared insolvent; but for those who are
willing to give up everything for the sake
of discharging the old obligations which
rest upon them, there is nothing to fear.
When these facts, or any of them, exist,
of course without collusion, as where a
debtor confesses judgment tooue creditoa
and procures another to petition against
himself on this fact—any creditor may
obtain an adjudication of bankruptcy
against the debtor. It is made a necessary
pre-requisite to a discharge that the bank
rupt, being a merchant or traider, shall
keep proper books of account; he must
submit to an examination as to his business
and some of his private affairs; he may
be detained within the district of his
residence, and lie must allow his wife to
be examined as a witness.
Among other disabilities which the
bankrupt has to consider are the follow
ing: He cannot, within four months pre
ceiling the filing of his petition, in con
templation or knowing of his insolvency,
give any legal lien, transfer any property
to a . creditor, who are liable for him,
having reasonable cause to believe him
bankrupt; nor within six mouths before
the fifing his petition can lie transfer any
property to any one, having the same
cause for belief, and that this trans
fer is intended to save his property
for in either case the assignee may re
cover the property so transferred or legal
ly detained; nor must lie in any way con
ceal, or fraudulently remove any of his
property, be neglectful in the care or de
livery thereof to the assignee, nor suffer
any loss or destruction thereof, nor alter
nor mutilate auy of his books or writings
fraudulently, nor lose any property in
gaming, or admit or conceal the proof, by
another, of a false or fictitious debt
against his estate, nor influence a creditor
favorably towards himself by pecuniary
means. If any of these requirements re
main unfulfilled, the debtor will fail to get
a discharge; and if he is convicted of fraud
or false swearing, he will be punished ac
cordingly.
THE BANKRUPT’S PRIVILEGES.
These are few in number, but of a great
benefit. He is free from arrest, and may
not be annoyed by any legal proceedings
upon debts from which he may be dis
charged under the law. He is entitled to
retain certain property, as household nec
essaries designated by the assignee, not to
exceed the value of $500; wearing apparel
for himself, wife and children ; uniform,
arms and equipments ; and in this State,
a sewing machine, family library of the
value of SSO, pew in church, ten sheep, one
cow, two swine, and their food ; tools and
implements of mechanics to the value of
$25, necessary team, burial lot, aud a
homestead of the value of 1,000. When
his discharge is granted it releases him
from all contracted debts due aud payable
at the time of adjudication of bankruptcy,
including claims of wife’s debts, ail debts
then existing, but not payable till a future
day, all contingent liabilities, rent, &e.
CO-PARTNERS ANI) CORPORATIONS.
Co-partners may join in one application.
Corporations and joint-stock companies
may apply, but are not discharged from
debts, nor have they any allowance, they
are simply dissolved. No discharge will
be granted unless assets pay fifty per
centum on debts, or written assent of ma
jority in number aud value of creditors be
filed.
THE DUTIES AND PRIVILEGES OF THE
CREDITOR.
The holders of expected debts, fraud,
etc., may prove them, and the dividends
received will be only on account of, and
not in discharge of such debts. The cred
itor is entitled, after proving his debt, to
vote for assignees, and he is powerful in
direct ratio to the amount of his claim.—
He may require the assignee to file a bond,
can obtain examination of the debtor or
any other creditor, and may assist in de
termining what part of the estate may be
divided among the creditors. He may
also oppose the granting of a discharge on
any of the grounds above specified, ren
dering it invalid, and at least delay it by
obtaining a trial by jury. He may also,
within two years ufter the discharge, apply
to set it aside on the same grounds, except
when he knew of these facts at the time
of the discharge, which knowledge the
debtor must prove. He may petition to
have the debtor declared bankrupt for rea
sons before stated; may have the estate
wound up by trustees instead of by the
official assignees. The creditor petition
ing, is liable for the costs. TheJ creditor
must, proving his claim, make oath or
affirmation that the sum is justly due him
and is not in any way secured ; the claim
was not procured for the purpose of influ
encing the proceedings, and that no agree
ment exists whereby he is to transfer the
claim or to receive any property, or to be
stow in any way his vote.
There are several other minor require
ments which the creditor has to fulfill.
Creditors are paid in the following order;
Court fees, the United States, the State
clerks and servants, to the amount of SSO
each. Debts by law entitled to preference,
general creditors.
RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE ASSIGNEE.
He takes title to the estate, subject to
existing liens, from day of commencement
of proceedings, and is entitled to sue for
and recover the estate. He stands in the
place of the bankrupt, becomes thereby a
tenant in common in the bankrupt’s firm,
and is entitled to an accounting. This
officer designates the household goods to
be retained by the debtor. The fees of t lie
assignee are liis expenses, aud five per.
centum on the $1,000; two and a half per
centum on the excess up to $5,000; and
one per centum on excess over $6,000.
COST IN MONEY AND TIME.
On the whole it is rather a costly opera
tion to become a bankrupt. The fees, as
above stated, must be paid: then to
secure the register fifty dollars must be
deposited with that officer at the outset,
the marshal, solicitor, etc., have to be
paid.
After six months from the filing of the
petition, or if no debts have been proved,
or if no assets have come to hand, then,
after sixty days, and within one year from
the adjudication, the bankrupt may apply
for a discharge.

Gagging Confederate Officers.
It came out in the mass of correspon
dence sent by the President to the Senate
on the 15th inst., that Gen. Pope holds
that opposition to the monstrous usurpa
tions of the Sherman bill on the part of
Confederate officers, is a violation of the
terms of their parole, and that General
Grant entirely agrees with them.
The plain English of which, says the
Nashville Union is that:
“ Officers of the Rebel army” in accept
ing a parole bartered their
and sold themselves into abjeTt servility,
and obedience to Congress, whether right!
or wrong. The constitution
Congress from passiug a law “ abridging
the freedom of speech,” but the General ot
the United States army holds himself
above that instrument, and declares that
freedom of speech, at least on the part of
“ officers of the Rebel army,” does not ex
ist in the Southern States. We suppose
this declaration of Gen. Grant may be a< -
cepted as a warning to “ officers of the
rebel array,” that if they oppose the so
called reconstruction acts of Congress they
will be arrested aud tried by drum-head
court martial for violation of the.r pa
role.
Gen. Pope will have his bauds full wlieu
he organizes his courts to try these offen
ders ; for if we know anything of their
sentiments, nine out of ten utterly repudi
ate that unjust, tyrannical, and grossly
unconstitutional measure. In taking the
amnesty oath, they swore to support the
"Constitution,” as well as all “ laws of
the United States,” and it is an old-fash
ioned notion with them that their first
allegiance is due to the orgauic law, and
not to supplemental legislation that so
wantonly violates it both in letter and
spirit. It is their duty to submit to these
laws, but not to support and approve them.
When they so read their duty, it will be a
dark day, indeed, for their glorious re
cord.
The IlnnkruiHand Stay Lair.
[For lb*' Southern Recorder.
Messrs. Edmors: —The Public will be
benefitted by knowing these two facts:
First, All stay laws, whether made by
legislative or military authority were de
clared void and unconstitutional, by Chief
Justice Chase, of U. S. Supreme Court
sitting in Circuit Court, lately, at Raleigh,
N. C.
Secondly. The U. S. Bankrupt law went
into effect, for general purposes, on lirst
day of June 1567 ; and by 33d Section, no
debtor desiring a discharge, from the bur
den of his debts, can get such discharge
after June Ist, 1808, unless his property is
sufficent to pay half of his debts. If debt
ors fail to apply for benefit of the act
during the first year and yet are not able
to pay half of their debts, there is no certain
rebel for them ; but they will have to live
under the burden of their debts forever,
or until a majority of their creditors assent
in writing, to their discharge. Debtors
who apply for discharge during the lirst
year, June Ist, 1807, to June Ist, 1868, can
be discharged, no matter how little they
pay. Time is precious to those much iii

Miles O’Reilley is at one of the sea-coast
watering-places, and relates a little of his
experience in these terms:
This morning I had abath with a young
Neried who swam like a duck, anil is the
(luckiest of ducks in every way—even
though she would not let me finish a song
which she challenged me to write. The
way it happened was this—but first let me
give you the only two existing stanzas of
my great projected poem, which is to be
entitled
AFTER THE BATH. ,
Her skin is fresh, and cold, and pink.
But warm aud redthe lips I press,
And all her beauty seems to shriuk
Compactor in lie- clinging dress ;
While o’er her shoulders to the hip.
In trailing gold the tresses drip
Which form at night her braided crown.
No more her eyes in languor swim,
But flash with gay, coquettish strife;
And every pulse and every limb
Is thrilling into radiant life;
Her cheek hath caught a ruddier stain,
And her small feet in sand that sink
Are marble-white, with many a vein
Down to the almond nails of pink.
There! Now your correspondent in
willing to leave it toany intelligent reader
(old maids not competent to sit in judge
ment), was there anything improper in
such a prelude? Anything but an exact
and, he might say, almost mathematical
description of facts and figures—or rather
“ a figure,” as the same was presented for
his observation? The Neried, however,
who was first in a flurry to have him write
aud then in a much greater flurry lest he
should write "indiscreetly” (whatever that
may mean), kept lookiugover his shoulder
while he was in the throes of composition,
and on the termination of the last line
positively forbade his proceeding any fur
ther—the order being enforced by one of
the prettiest little boxes on the ear—of
course a challenge, duly accepted, to re
peat the text of the second line of the first,
stanza.

iu a word, .change conditions with them,
a degradation greater than has yet fallen
to the lot of a tree and enlightened people,
and one from which we could not escape,
should emancipation take place (which it
certainly will if not prevented ), tmt by
fleeing the homes of ourselves andour
ancestors, ami by abandoning our country
to our former slaves, to become the per
manent abode of disorder, anarchy, pover

Wouldn't Own up.
Joe Stetson wasa wild,rollicking fellow,
who spent most of liis time iu drinking
and spreeing, while wife, Polly, was left at
home to do the chores. Upon a certain oc
casion Joe left home, to be back, as he said,
that night. Night came, hut Joe did not.
The next day passed, but about sunset Joe
came up iu the worst condition imagin a
ble—iris clothes dirty and torn, one eye i.u
deep mourning, and his face presenting*
more the appearance of a piece of raw
meat than any thing else. Pollv met him
at the door, and, noticing his appearance,
exclaimed: “Why, Joe what iu the world
is the matter?”
“ Polly, ” said Joe, “ do you know Jim
Andrews? Well, him and me had a fight. ”
“Who whipped, Joe, ” asked Polly.
“Polly, we had the hardest light you
ever did see. I hit him and he hit me,
and then we clinched. Polly ain’t supper
most ready? I ain’t had anything since
y’esterday morning. ”
“ But tel! me who whipped, Joe, ” con
tinued Polly.
“Polly , ” replied Joe, “I tell you you never
did see such a fight as me and him had.
When he flinched me I jerked loose from
him, and then gin him three or four of
the most sufficient licks you ever heard of.
Polly, ain’t supper ready I am nearly*
starved. ”
“Joe, do tell me who whipped?” contin
ued Polly.
“ Polly, ” replied Joe, “you don’t know
nothin’ bout lightin. ” I tell you we fougt
like tigers; we rolled and tumbled—first
him on top, then me on top—then the boys
would pat me on the shoulder, aud holler,
Oh, my Stetson. We gouged, and bit,
and tore up the dirt in Seth Runnel’s gro
cery yard worser nor two wild bulls.—
Polly’, ain’t supper most ready’. I’m
monstrous hungry.”
“Joe stetson!” exclaimed Poliy’ iu atone
bristling with anger, “will you tell me
who whipped?”
“Polly,” said Joe, drawing a long sigh,
“I hollered! ”

THE MEETING.
I met her in the quiet laue
One Sabbath morning early;
The sun was bright, although the rain
Still glittered on the barley.
The lark was singing to his mate,
The wild bells chimed t heir warning,
We paused awhile outside the gate ;
We lingered until it was too late
To go to church that morning.
Again we met. The whispering leaves
Glanced nigh in »ight and shadow;
The reapers piled the yellow sheaves ;
The bees hummed o’er the meadow.
Jl'hy royal sun rose up in state,
jAtriage-day adorning;
luoanon iatne\ n g OU t; wale stood the gate,
ngfudice. Xiier of us was too late
to church that morning.
TUc Paris Exposition.
ITS WEALTH-THR POLICE ARRANGE
MENTS.
[Paris Cor. N. O. Picayune.
I have not yet given you any notion of
the immese wealth contained in the Exhi
bition, nor do I intend to touch,except
incidently, on that subject to-ctay ; hut the
wealth under that glass roof is fairy-like
in its great amount. There are at iea<t
$1,000,000 of locomotives alone ; there are
$0,000,000 of jewelry in the French courts
alone (and England, Prussia, Holland and
Denmark, contribute millions); there are
several millions of silver plate in them ; I
should not like to say how millions of
dollars’ worth of ecclesiastical treasures
have been contributed yy the churches of
France, and I leave out of account the
Crown diamonds, which are not yet on
exhibition. These articles, from their
small size and great value, strike the visi
tor ; but it is w'th the Exhibition as it is
with States whose wealth consists chiefly
in the aggregate value of the estates of the
poor rather than in the swollen fortunes of
a few wealthy people. The wealth of the
Exhibition is formed by the value of the
innumerable articles exhibited by the 40,-
000 and odd exhibitors. There are few
show cases who do notexhibit SI,OOO worth
of articles, and I believe the average to be
higher. You may easily imagine there
fore the utmost precautions have been
taken to assure the safety of these valuable
works from the nimble and practiced lin
gers Jof thieves. The utmost precautions
were necessary. The rogues of the world
gave each other rendezvous in the Champ
de Mars. Their skill is astonishing. You
heard how one of them carried off a loco
motive and tender weighing several
pounds. Nevertheless, so excellent are
the police arrangements only six or eight
thefts have been committed since the ex
hibition was opened, and only twenty or
thirity complaints of picked pockets ln ve
been made during the same period of time.
Would you hear the organization of the
police attached to the exhibition? Five
hundred and fifty three policemen and
fifty-two detectives, commanded by twen
ty-nine officers, superintend the whole
palace and park. These are all picked
men, for to them is confided most valuable
property —and there are black sheep in all
flocks. There are three police stations in
the palace. The central station is in the
palace, and contains the office of the com
missary of police and his assistants. One
of the other stations is placed at the portal
fronting the river, the second is placed at
the portal in front of the military school.
Each contains two prisons, or lockups,one
for men large enough to contain fifteen or
twenty prisoners, the other for women,
with room enough for eight or ten delin
quents. Each station contains forty-two
beds for policemen. The same policeman
invariably occupies the same beat in the
exhibition all daylong. In this way they
become familiar with all the persons
connected with that portion of the exhibi
tion, they find out the value of every
article in it, know which requires close
watching and which may be left to take
care of itself, ami become conversant with
the visitors of their beat. They soon dis
tinguish the student from the prowler, the
idle visitor from the habitual thief. They
have now become invaluable guides to the
visitor; you may ask them no question
about anything in their beat they are un
able to answer. They have received the
strictest orders to be extremely polite to
everybody. There are sixteen policemen
constantly on duty under the outside pro
tecting roof of the palace (you know all
the eating houses are here.) There are
eight policemen constantly on duty in the
great circular boulevard. There are police
men at every door of the Exhibition. At
every valuable show case iu the Exhibition
(such as jewelers', etc.) there is a police
man on duty day and night. The daily
closing of the Exhibition is extremely
well managed. Alter the clock strikes six
no one is allowed to enter the palace. As
the clock strikes this hour the drummers
of the Garde de Paris (who have collected
under the projecting roof of the central
garden,) beat the retraite and walk around
the central garden, (you know they call
central garden the garden iu the middle of
the palace, the courtyard, so to say of the
palace.) As the drummers collect in the
central garden, the 300 policemen on day
duty in the palace likewise assemble here.
They are formed into equal divisions, and
inarch (each division taking one door so as
to iiave a division in every door,) from the
centre to the circumference of the palace,
sweeping the public before them. As soon
as one zone is reached, tiie concentric
avenue is cleared in the same manner us
the straight avenue had been, and the
police return to the straight avenue until
another concentric avenue is reached, and
in this way the whole palace is cleared to
the machines’ gallery. The doors of the
palace opening into the machines’ gallery
are closed, all except the four great por
tals, aud to these points the last tardy
visitors are brought, for after the marches
above described every hole and corner of
the palace is examined, and the police
march in the same manner in the machines’
gallery, until at last—and the whole pro
ceedings take only thirty minutes—nobody
but tiie police remain in the palace. The
day police are then relieved. Police are
stationed at tiie four great portals (which
are never closed, night or day, iu order to
enable the firemen to move with greater
ease in event of lire,) and have orders to
allow no one to enter tiie palace under any
pretext. All night long 100 policemen,
■with dark lanterns, walk about the palace
in every direction, turning their light on
and examining every spot from whence
the slightest noise is heard. I have said
there arc police night ami day near the
more valuable show-cases. The park is
closed at midnight. Heretofore there has
been sparse attendance in the park, for
when the rain has not poured in deluvian
torrents, or the north wind blown, there
has been nothing to see there except dark
ness, made visible by a few gas lamps.—
T’other night there were forty people in
the park, and I believe they were consid
ered an immense throng. (J.

Tlie Beggars’ Opera.
Jf ever there was monotonous music on
emth, it is the plaintive whine of those
Radicals in the South, who are constantly
caJhug on the General Government for
pecuniary and other asssistnnce. The last
w ail that reached us is particularly dolor
ot is. The papers which were designated
by McPherson, Clerk of the House of
R ppresentatives, to print the laws and
treaties in accordance with the act of Con
gress to that effect, have petitioned Con
gress, we see, for an increase of the rate
for advertising. They set forth that the
South can be reconstructed only by the
instrumentality of newspapers, aud that
the price allowed by the Government for
advertising is entirely insufficient.
Translated into plain English, the mean
ing of this beggars petition may be set
fortlrthus: We New England Radicals
who came down South, to run Yankee
newspapers for the inculcation of great
moral ideas on the Boston plan, have dis
covered that the experiment does not pay.
The barbarous Southerners refuse to be
enlightened. They will neither buy nor
read our papers. We have no local circu
lation, and we cannot obtain one, do wliat
we will. In fact, nobody would know
that we were the publishers of newspapers
at all. did we not make a present of them
to the office-holders in Washington, and
send them as exchaaiges to our Northern
aud Eastern cotemporaries. Now, we are
' tired of this kind of .amusement. It costs
S too much. It is all outgo and no income.
The Government advertisements the Rad
• ical Congress have given us have kept us
j alive thus far, but we must have more. If
i the ex-rebels will not support Radical
j newspapers,Congress must foot the bill by
giving bigger prices for its advertisements.
It will come out of the pockets of Denio
| cratic tax-payers, to be sure ; but what of
i that? “ The* South must be 1 reconstruct
-ed !’ ” —[Nashville Banner.
