THE WEEKLY OONSTITUTIONATLIB. Scandalous. We turn the author of the following doggerel over to the tender merclea of the ladies. We make no apologies for him, r s he has neither youth nor age t r recommend him to clemency. We have reason to be lieve that this act of his was the result of mature and - Hear what he has to say : As along the street I blundered. Much I m irveled, much 1 wondered; Seeing -ijhts and things that mortal Never saw or dreamed before; On the pavement came a rapping As of foot-falls gently tapping, And I heard a muslin—flapping. Which my eye would fain explore, 44 ’Tis some female, 1 ’ then I muttered— I had seen the thing before — Only this and nothing more. Came this female sweeping by me; Fearing she should chance to spy me, Suddenly I stepped into a Friendly, waiting, open door; Thence I saw the lovely maiden — Being from some distant Aden— Ail perfumed and dry goods laden, Pass me and go on before; Naught had I to do but follow And note down the things she wore, ’Twas a mystery to And I found—by close inspection— That ner haughty upper section, .Something chalice had called a bonnet, On its pericranium wore; And her bosom was heaving slowly, ’Neath a garment fashicned lowly, And I knew the movement wholly, I had never seen before; For I knew ’twas 44 patent heavers ” That this radient maiden wore, Only these and nothing more. And her cheeks were full and rosy— I could tell you, inter nos a Secret that a druggist told me Os the color that she wore — Tet her cheeks were very pleasing, But her look at me was freezing, And she showed a sign of sneezing, As she swept along before; And she sneezed a pair of “ plumpers” Out a yard at least before; Only this and nothing more. Then I noticed an uncertain Lifting of the muslin curtain, That her feet had deftly hidden From my errrnt eyes before; With each lift came a desire That ’twouid lift a little higher, And at last it did asoire Higher than I liau seen before; And I knew it was a “ tilter” That this saintly maiden wore; Just a 44 tilter ’’—nothing more. And the tilting and the rocking Up and down the splendid stocking, Gartered by a bluish ribbon, That I chanced to see she wore, Showed me— ’twas a sight for weeping, That a pair of calves were creeping Out of place, as she was sweeping Like a stately queen before ; Calves that she had lately purchased From a fancy dry goods store, Patent calves—and not much more. And the fluttering and the flapping Os this maiden’s guady trapping Showed me sights that never mortal Eye had dared to see before; Sights revealed by every lifting Os the folds of muslin drifting Round her, which the winds were shifting Eye-ward, higher, more and morq; Sights that nnto mortal vision Never were revealed before, Nameless here forever more. And while thus her rigging fluttered, Much I wondered, and I muttered, 44 And you call this thing a woman That is trouncing on before; She the brazen doll of fashion, Wrapped in one tremendous passion; Sunken from her noble station, To the tiling that goes before ; ■Oh ! that every mortal vision Should such mystery explore.” This I muttered—nothing more. And the thought came o’er me gushing, 44 Where has gone the art of blushing That we loved in wife or maiden, .in the saintly days of yore t” Call me, if you will, uncivil, While I name her 44 thing of evil,” And I wish the very devil , nad the toggery she wore, And again she were arrayed in Dresses like her mother wore, Vanished now forever more. Paragraphic. The Motive.— An old fellow of the ultra inquisitive order asked a little girl on board a train, who was sitting by her mother, as to her name, destination, etc. After learning that she was going to Philadelphia, he asked : “What motive is taking you thither, my dear ?” 44 1 believe they call" it a locomotive, sir,” was the innocent reply. The intrusive stranger was extinguished. A Herald's Leavenworth special says that Frederick Weed, nephew of Thurlow Weed, late of the second California volunteer cavalry, committed suicide at' Salt Lake, on the 15th inst. New York, November 21.—The second an nual parade of the Metropolitan Fire Depart ment took place this afternoon. There were thirty-four steam fire engines, each with a ten der, and twelve hook and ladder wagons. Each engine, tender and wagon was drawn by two horses, the former beinglargely decorated with flags, boquets and wreaths ot flowers, while the men in uniform marched in sections. Two bands of music accompanied the procession, which made a very attractive appearance. Cincinnati, November 21.—This morning a woman named Fanny Harris died in the station house. The coroner held an inquest, the ver dict of the jury being that she died from con gestion of the brain. Mrs. Harris was, at one time, a prominent woman in Kentucky and the sister of a late Governor of that State. She fell from grace, became a drunkard and finally ended her days in the city prison. On Monday morning a Government agent ar rived here from New Orleans and made a pur chase of 25,090 pounds of bacon sides at It has already been shipped. A Millionaire’s Wife’s Expenses.— Wealthy families sometimes have trouble, get into lawsuits, and expose their secrets to the world. In New Fork, in a divorce case that is pending, it appears in evidence that the wife, who claims maintenance in the same style in which she has been living, beoides the use of a furnished house, is accustomed to spend SIOO a day. Thirty-six thousand five hundred dollars is a neat little sum for a lady’s 44 pin money,” when she has besides a house to live in, her larder supplied, and all the furniture necessary to the most luxurious ease. An Epidemic. —The matrimonial fever, now prevalent in this section, is sweeping off its vic tims with unparalleled rapidity ! Never was there snch a man- ia among the fair sex as is now witnessed on all sides, and the disease seems not only to be of malignant type, but very contagious. The young gentlemen who are attacked by it, invariably seek a cure at the hands of the Speritual Doctors of the land.— The medical men, it is presumable, only “bide their time” wben “coming events cast their shadows.” —Macon Citizen. Supreme Court. —The November term of this court opened its session in this place on Monday last, Judge Jus. S. Hook presiding. The court has a large amount of business on hand, and the session will probably continue two or three weeks. Beveral important criminal cases are to be tried next week. The prisoners are chiefly negroes, many ot whom have yet to learn that although they are at liberty to act and trade for themselves, they are not tree to commit crimes. [ Waynesboro Times. Imperial* from the Savannah Republican. New York, November 25. General Builer delivered a lectnre at' the Academy of Music, Brooklyn, last evening, aud was attentively listened to on the subject of the re-organization of the South. He said neither political expedients, conventions, Pres ident uor Congress could compass it, all de vices of State craft must tail—even universal freedom cannot accomplish it, and universal impartial suffrage will only add to the danger. The only safety is in universal education—in tellectual and religious. The common school and the church are the only bases upon which the South can be salely and permauently re constructed. Butler argues that there is power in Congress to establish schools in the South, under the clause of the Constitution which Says, “ Congress shall have power to provide for the common defense aud general welfare of the United States.” On the subject of the impeachment of the President he claimed that an improper public speech of a high official is impeachable ; that the Senate, from which members from eleven States are excluded, and some of them expell ed, is a legal high court ot impeachment; that if the accused neglect or refuses to appear be fore the Senate, when summoned, he may 1* tried, convicted and deposed from office in his absence; that all powers of impeachment are derived from English law, and that, according to all law and precedent, the President, if im peached, must be prevented from exercising the functions of his office. Butler enumerated the charges he lias to make against the Presi dent as impeachable offenses, viz : first, drunk enness in office; second, the making of inde cent and inflamatory harrangues ; third, tyran nically and unconstitutionally, as Chief Execu tive officer, usurping lawful rights and powers of Congress, in appointing provisional govern ors for the South; the reorganization ot State Governments and assumption of power to dic tate who should vote in reconstructed States ; fourth, the corrupt use of the appointing pow er ; fifth, the improperly, using the constitu tional power ot pardons for offenses against the United States; sixth, appointing rebels to office ; seventh, refusing to execute the consti tutional laws of Congress iu insurrectionary States ; and eighth, conspiring with John T. Monroe to prevent and disperse lawful conven tion of loyal citizens in New Orleans, aud in citing Monroe aud his associates to disperse said convention and kill the members thereof. The address was very long, and was undisturb ed. A suit has been commenced before the Su preme Court by John H. Lester against Gen.- Butler, ehajging him with false imprisonment; damages laid at oue hundred thousand dollars, and with the fraudulent conversion of proper ty—damages $50,000. Lester received a free pass from Secretary Stanton during the war, to bring his family North. Gen. Butler disregard ed the permit, aud imprisoned him. Notices of the writs were served on yesterday. A prize fight was yesterday arranged between Jno. McGlade, of this city, aud Sam Collier, of Baltimore, for SI,OOO to $5,000, to take place soon at some poiut between New York and Baltimore. Fifteen steamships sailed from this port yes terday, including seven for Europe, two for Wilmington, one Charleston, one for Rich mond and one for Portland. The freight of these fifteen steamers is valued at over $1,000,- 000. At banquet given to Gen. Nelson Taylor he stated in his speech that he should not contest the seat of John Morrissey in Congress. Col. Kelley is now in charge ot Fenian af fairs here, Stevens having evidently left for Ireland. Special messengers have recently arrived from Ireland, who state that the island will soon be in a state of complete insurrection. Large quantities of Springfield, Enfield and Spencer rifles are hourly arriving here, which are being constantly shipped to Ireland. All the arms intended for service in Canada have been turned over to Stevens. The Tammany City Convention nominated Richard V. B. Connelly, for Comptroller. The New York Yatch Club endorsed the Ocean Sweepstakes race between Yachts, Vista, Henrietta and Fleeting. A Paris, correspondent of a late date states that the alliance between Prussia and Russia and the .counter alliance between France aud Austria has been consummated. The Army Monuteur says the war budget aud the army are to be increased as preparation for eventualities likely to occur. A Deliohtful Place to Reside.— Chicago iR fast acquiring the reputation of an American Sodom and Gomorrah. The papers teem with accounts of crimes and atrocities that are un paralleled./ In order to show the state of af fairs there, and what a delightful place it is to live in, we give a dispatch received of one day’s crimes: Chicago, November 20. One of the most horrible outrages ever per petrated in this city was brought to light yes terday afternoou. A woman, whose name is at present unknown, but who was neatly dressed, and has every appearance of respectability, made application for lodging at a house on Archer Road, near Halstead. On Sunday even ing she was louud in a vacant lot, entirely naked and unconscious, and expired in a few moments. It was then ascertained that her person had been violated, and that her cruel treatment, together with the exposure and shame, had produced death. This morning the police arrested sixteen men and boys, who are charged with being engaged in the affair.— Eight of them confess their guilt. The horrid affair is creating a profound sensation here. The body of an unknown man was washed ashore yesterday at the foot of Eighteenth street, with a heavy stone attached to il, aud has probably been the victim of some foul murder. 11. L. Smith, boarding at 188 Eighteenth street, got up from bed at twelve o’clock last night and went out, since which nothing has been heard of him. As he had considerable money in his possession, it is feared that he has been foully dealt with. Those who visit Chicago should take out ex tra life insurance or accident policy. Macon Cotton Market.— Dut little doing the present week, owing to a decline in the New York and Liverpool markets. The prices range from 20 to 28 cents for middling to strict middling. For the four business days up to last evening but 1,443 bales received. Our quo tations are for cotton with lax unpaid.
