is refreshing to bring home to such blatant
patriots as Senators Sumner, Wade and Wil
son—to 'General Dix and Mr. George Ban
croft the doctrines and utterances of auld lang
syne. A man that forces a nauseous draught
upou his fellow may, expect, as sure as there is
a Nem«s things, to have the chalice of
bitterness commended to his own inspection.
Thogrtat marvel of tho present epoch is the
theijity, the edttg froid with which whole masses
and their representatives swallow at a gulp
every protestation of the Past and every princi
ple It treasured. It is excusable, though de
plorable, that such an alternative should be ob
ligatory upon some under pressure. But
where there is nothing but victory and no pres
sure, how shall we typify such men as those
above enumerated whose course falsi
ties every idea they formerly entertained and
gloried in. Is it hypocrisy—depravity— lust of
gain—tiery ambition—madness ? We do not
pretend to specify ; we make no charge ; we
present facts and leave the inference to honest
thinkers. These gentlemen are among the
foremost in proclaiming the indestructibility of
principle. If this f»e axiomatic, bow can five
years so sap and mine the principle they once
upheld ? Os course, we do not pretend to as
sert that their ancient sentiments were wrong,
but who shall decide if their existing creed, so
Antagonistic to the former article of faith, is
right y Not in anger but in sorrow arc the con
tradictory records of certain prominent mem
bers of the Radical party disinterred; wo feel
that their inconsistency is a balk to civilization,
a harrier to Republican progress, a blemish
upon the honored American name.
What we have hitherto quoted agains.t these
gentlemen has been in prose ; let us have a
taste of rhyme, aud pretty good rhyme at that.
New England men have had the benefit of ven
. t ilation ; let the subjoined verses speak for a
Southern man of considerable notoriety in
North Carolina and elsewhere. We find them
in the Richmond Times , which asserts that they
were written and published tome years ago by
that loyal individual, whose name is attached to
his effusion. Hear him :

DISLOYAL BEEF.
A city papev contains an official advertise
ment inviting certain proposals for beof, but
declaring that 4 ** «
“No bids will be entertained from persons
who come under the exceptions of the Presi
dent’s amnesty proclamation, nor will bids in
which such persons aro interested, either direct
ly or indirectly, be received, unless they can
produce the pardon of the President. Bids
from all other persons under said proclamation,
must bo accompanied by the amnesty oath.”
Now, when the Federal Government offers at
public sale its decayed or useless property it
has not, we believe, been considered indispen
sable that the buyer should do more than make
the bid most advantageous to that Government
ami have the wherewithal to pay for his pur
chase, and when positions aro reversed and that
Government, in turn, becomes the buyer we
are at a loss to perceive any good reason why it
Hhould impose strange and abnormal conditions
on the eitizen vendor. If I want a Government
mule I bid for him, and, if I bid more than any
body else, Government bands me over long-ears
and I plank down the cash. The transaction
is a plain business matter all around—so much
mule for so much money. I get all I can for
my money and the Government all it can for its
mule; and, like two sensible men on a trade
neither party bothers the othej about the oath
of allegiance, condonation of treason, or any
other such foreign topic whatsoever.
But, when it comes to buying, it seems that
these plain business rules are not to prevail.—
Away off, in the Department of the Gulf—alas,
flint Republican America should be mapped
out. into these satrapies—it is likewise provided
that certification of “loyalty” mustaccompauy
bids, and this correspondence of requirement
leads us to suppose it is to be henceforth an in
tegral requisite to proposals,
h Lookingat it in this way, it is proposed slight
ly to touch upon it—a general rule being en
titled to a notice no single ease of the sort
should receive.
The Federal Government, let us suppose,
needs beef, and you have it. It wants to buy,
and you want to sell. But, unfortunately,
your pardon hangs fire. This new dispensa
■ tion shuts you out. You have to secede from
the market, and the resnlt of your secession is,
to thnt extent, to diminish competition, and
put it in the power of remaining bidders to
run up the price. They do run up the price.
The Government must buy, mid it does buy,
and buys at this advanced rate, comfort
ing its honest heart, doubtless, with the
sweet reflection—my Beef may be dear, but
it isn’t Disloyal.
A PLEA FOE THE BIRDS.
No true sportsman will wage war against,
game birds from this time forward until late in
the autumn. At this season, the birds, which
have previously congregated in flocks or covies,
separate into pairs for the purpose of reproduc
tion, and should be safe from powder, shot and
snares. We would advise nil buoyant boys and
children of larger growth, intent on frolic or
gain, to put their gnns away for several months,
and devote the spring and summer days to the
appropriate recreation of angling. Let the
winged creatures suitable for table use have a
respite; but, if convenient, assort your bobs,
hooks aud lines in readiness for trout, bream,
perch and other fish, with which our contiguous
rivers or ponds ahound. Down by shady wil
lows, green nooks, or clear expanse of waters,
tun enough can be procured for fti\ evening holi
day, without disturbing doves and partridges in
their pleasant loves and domestic felicities.
Moderation should be observed in the use of
ammunition as in everything else. If carried to
an irrational extreme, it will not tako long to
exterminate the feathered tribes which now pre
vail, and which add so greatly to the delight ot
the hunter and the gastronome. Some unthink
ing persons imagine that it is impossible to ex
terminate the game birds of the South. Such
would indeed be the ease, if all men were satis
fied with a sober degree of shooting; but in
. sport, as in many individuals exist who
never get the tvortli of their money or their
percussion caps. These insatiable monsters arc
arrant pests and should not be encouraged.
To show tbit it is possible to annihilate, or
nearly so, the game birds of certain sections, in
spite of their vast numbers, we need only refer
to indubitable statistics on the subject.
Let us take, for example, the grouse which
formerly existed in countless myriads through
out the West. In several of the States, say
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, these birds have di
minished so sensibly that an earnest protest
against their massacre has been put forward by
the Government itself. One man in New York
has been known to receive at a single consign
ment no less
-others received, during the year, may be com
puted at hundreds of thousands. This is true
of all other game birds and, if the entire figure
could be summed up, it would stagger the most
Incredulous. At this rate, it will not be too
rash to assert that the present century will
witness the total extermination of game birds
in various sections of ths country.
Is it not time that this wholesale butchery
should btj checked ? State laws 6cem totally
inadequate to remedy the evil, and, in their de
fault, we advise our planters to prohibit pro
miscuous and untimely hunting on their do
mains. Ali, or nearly all, of them arc fond ol
this and it is a matter of some moment
to them that the exterminating gentry should
have a stoppage put upon theft disastrous
work.
Many reckless gunners seem*to pursue game
as though posterity had no claim upon them.
It is all very well to “ damn posterity,” but
posterity has inalienable rights as well as they.
There is a higher argument than all this
which should weigh with every earnest man,
and that is, the usefulness of birds. They have
not been created vainly, and although some are
troublesome to the crops, we are firmly per
suaded that they are more beneficial than other
wise in destroying grasshoppers and hurtful
grubs. The little grain that may be consumed
by them is but a meagre bribe for the unnum
bered insects which they suppress. It is esti
mated by those who have studied the matter
seriously, that if our game birds should be ma
terially lessened, the crops would suffer in
a material proportion.
When killed in a legitimate manner, viz: by
shooting, and at proper intervals, no great
damage is done; but by using snares and
slaughtering them when pairing, incalculable
detriment is sustained.
Many of our birds are the companions of
civilization. The partridge and dove are most
frequently discovered where man has built his
dwelling or plowed the fields. Civilization,
then, tends rather to foster the increase of
these beautiful, useful and palatable creatures;
is it not a barbarism to seek their utter or com
parative destruction ?
We are persuaded that much, that is warlike
and independent in our character has been pro
duced by the universal love of field sports in
the South. Habitual use of the gun preserved
us from effeminacy and knit our sinews in
healthy symmetry.
A writer upon this theme has nobly said
“that such influences purify the heart of every
one whose fortune it may have been to listen
to the hound on the echoing hill-side, or to
thread the thorny brake in quest of the whirring
Tame. To many, ail this may seem but the
‘little tilings of little men,’ but history teaches
us that the knowledge acquired In the chase of
wielding a deadly weapon, and the possession
of frames hardened by pleasant toil of many a
hunting expedition, have been the means of
enabling a people to preserve the freedom of
their country when the time of trial came.”
Let this glorious prerogative lie still retained
by preserving the birds. We could easily for
tify this matter by reference to French and
English experience, but what has been said may
answer the purpose. We have written in the
love of nature and its darlings of the wood and
forest—likewise with a healthy appreciation of
honorable sport. We feel that old hunters will
thank us for this admonition. Let them coun
sel all under their control to sound a truce to
gun and shot pouch, for a vacation, and lavish
their spare energies and cash, if so disposed,
upon diversions sacred to the memory of Izaak
Walton.

Washington, March 16th, 1866. *
Some persons think the comparative calm of
the present is a good omen, and they lienee hope
indefinitely and generally that something good
is going to turn up, and they imagine that this
calm gives assurance that some kind of harmo
ny may be possible between the President nnd
the Congress. But this calm is delusive. It is
the stillness which precedes the storm. The
fact is, an accommodation between the Presi lent
and the, “Central Directory” is impossible, un
less the President would consent to practically
abdicate his high functions. This Radical party
cannot compromise. It is obliged to go on to
the onil. The Idea which underUcAthli, party la
negro equality. The negro must be raised up
to the level of the wlute man. Unless this is
done nothing is done. Besides this, it is a fixed
idea with the Radicals not to permit those who
were prominent in the secession movement to
hold political power. There never was a party
more in earnest than this Radical party. The
President is very hopeful, and lias great confi
dence in the people. But it is not certain that
the President fully comprehends the depth of
the fanatical sentiment North, and it is very
questionable if the people are as wise us the
President’s political philosophy represents
them. I heard a man of great sagacity giving
his opinion lately as to whether the President
or the Radicals would be sustained by the peo
ple. lie said, in reply, that he had an infallible
way of foreseeing what the people would do on
any given question, that lie always made up bis
mind what it was wise for the people to do, and
always toolkit, for granted they would do exactly
the opposite. Now in this particular matter he
said, “it is wise for the people to sustain the
President, as it is the only way to restore peace
to the country ; but as this is what they ought
to do, I am sure they will do the reverse, (hey
will sustain the madmen in Congress.”
Prices of goods continue to full in the New
York market. It is an immense relief to find
things getting cheaper. It seems like we are
entering on a new era, financially. It would
seem, however, that no considerable reduction
could lie permanent, unless the currency were
restored to a much nearer approximation to the •
specie standard.
■ It is stated that, in the recent correspondence
between our Minister at the Court of St. Janies
and Lord John Russell, the tone of Lord Rus
sell’s dispatches aro not very conciliatory. And,
to add fuel to the.flame, some member of Con
gress offered a resolution yesterday, instructing
the Secretary of the Navy to send a fleet to the
Canadian waters to protect our fishermen, who
have no business there.
The Fenians have managed to get up a big
scare in Canada. The authorities there seem
to think that the Fenians are really about to do
something; but the general impression is that
the whole affair will blow over, without any
thing very serious. If the Fenians arc in the
midst of a revolution, it is certainly bloodless,
and not unlikely to.continue so.
It is said that the decision of the Supreme
Court in the Garland case, involving the right
of lawyers engaged in the so-called rebellion to
practice in the Ignited States courts, depends
on the opinion of Judge Nelson, who onlv
.heard a tragment of the first argument, and
who there® re reserved bis judgment.
On the subject of finance, on the assemblage
of Congress a resolution was passed to the ef
fect of pledging Congress to carry out, the poli
cy of the Secretary of the Treasury. This
policy looked to a gradual return to a currency
of specie value. Since then different ideas have
taken possession of some of the leading Radi
cals. They are unwilling to travel on the.line
ot (he Secretary’s policy. They fear stringent
times in’lhe country. They apprehend that the
condition of the country may bo useiVns an ar
gument against them. Hence, to keep monied
affairs in as easy a condition as possible, they
will not permit any considerable reduction of
the volume of paper money now afloat. I
think, therefore, there is not likely to be that
withdrawal from circulation of paper money
hitherto expected.
The Civil Rights Bill having passed both
Houses now awaits the President’s signature.
Opinions differ as to whether he will sign this
bill or not. Some say lie intends to veto every
important bill affecting the seceded States, be
cause their representatives are wrongfully ex
cluded from their scats; and therefore he will
veto this bill. Othdfs say he will sign this bill
because lie lias substantially favored this policy
for the treed men.
It has been seen here, with great interest by
the friends of the South, that Hon. Herschcl V.
Johnson is invited to address your Legislature.
Ihe kite address ol Mr. Stephens, so admirable
in its tone, produced a decided impression for
good here and over the North. There never
was a time when the South needed more the
out-spoken utterances of her wisest men.

Letter from the Hon. Wm. C. Rives
The venerable Wm. C. Rives, of Virginia, en
dorses the policy of the President strong
terms. We extract from a letter to the Hon.
James Lyons, of Richmond :
“ You were pleased in your letter to express
a desire to know my opinion of the late Presi
dential veto. I agree with you entirely in your
estimate of it. It has been a God-send for ns,
for if that horrible hydra-headed monster,
which he so gallantly encountered and slew,
had been suffered to live, I do not see how the
South would have been longer habitable for our
own race. Indeed, my dear sir, the whole
course of tho President, since his admirable
message at the opening of Congress, appears to
me to have been in the spirit of the loftiest pa
triotism and statesmanship, and worthy of the
best days of the Republic. If he goes on as he
has commenced, he will merit the glorious title
of the ‘Restorer of the Constitution,’ than
which I can conceive of no higher crown of
glory lb the sad condition in which our country
has fallen. It is a special mercy of Providence
to have sent us such a man in such a time of
need."

The Fenian Movement—lnvasion of Canada
The Fight Between the O'Mahoney's and the
O'Roberts'—Sweeney the Life and Soul of the
Fenians—Basil Duke Holds High Rank in the
Fenian Army—The Attack on Canada-Gen

Speech ala Spread Eagle—He Longs a Song

ley"—The Mortuary Literature of the Her
ald—How the Money is Made—Commercial
and Financial.
The Fenian movement assumes practical
shape with extraordinary rapidity. While
O’Mahoney and Roberts have been quarreling,
General Bweeney has given direction to the
ardor of his countrymen, and seems to be the
head of the Fenian movement. His friends
have adroitly infused the idea into the minds of
the Irish that he is the true leader who strikes
the first blow, and measures are reported and
believed to be actively prosecuted for a demon
stration against Canada before the month of
March expires.
It is not easy to sift the facts from what is
put in circulation for effect, but I am assured
that General Sweeney has purchased 20,000
muskets, and has 32 companies thorughly or
ganized in this city. He is reported to declare
that he wants only to get into Canada with an
organized force. Supplies for the future will
take care of themselves. Among the Fenian
officers under General "Sweeney, BasU Duke is
reported to hold high rank.
The O’Mahoney faction is reported to be op
posed to the invasion of Canada, and to declare
that such a course will jeopardize success in
Ireland. It is even said that a large meeting is
to be held in Burlington, Vt., to protest against
it. This, lam sure, is a mere pretext, to cover
the gathering of the invading hordes. If not,
why is the meeting held at so unimportant a
place as Burlington ?
I have it from the best authority, that border
farmers on tine United States side of the line
are disposed to aid the Fenians all in their pow
er. They have old grudges arising out of the
conduct of the Canadians during the late war
to satisfy. It is a fact, I believe, that while
Federals and Confederates, when thrown to
gether, could treat each other with comparative
civility, the Canadians insulted the Federals on
every opportunity. Their course and present
dilemma is another illustration of the old adage
about offered services.
There is a run upon the savings banks of
Montreal. I have heard it hinted here that
Canadian banking institutions are expected to
keep Gen. Sweeney’s treasury replenished. An
intelligent and thoughtful Irishman, in detail
ing to me some of the Fenian plans and pros
pects, said that his only fear was that unoffend
ing inhabitants would be subjected to grievous
aud unmiiitary outrage, both in Canada and in
Ireland; that a formidable demonstration will
be made in both countries, he has not the
slightest doubt. And certainly all indications
favor tlie accuracy of his predictions.’
GENERAL BANKS ON YANKEE DOODLE.
General Banks, now Chairman of the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs in the House of
Representatives, has made a spread eagle speech
in praise of Yankee Doodle, which is a painful
exhibition of an enfeebled intellect that was
never strong. Gen. Banks was one of our great
men, when the successful manipulation of buck
stair and behind-tlie-door party polities was the
test of greatness. He fell before greater issues,
and the suddenness and completeness of his
fall lias somewhat bewildered him. He makes
no attempt to climb the heights around him,
but embraces the occasion offered by a propo
sition with reference to the Paris exposition,
to sing a song of triumph to Yankee Doodle,
which is offensive to good taste, and greatly in
consistent with his political position with re
spect to foreign nations. He received much
applause, some of which seems very ironical.
He proposed to exhibit our military chieftains.
I may- ask to add one or two suggestions.—
What would Europe think to see the muster
rolls of the armies that for one year withstood
the assault, in one perpetual battle, of a million
men and the heaviest fleet that ever floated?
Perhaps some of the Red river cotton which he
went after and did not get would be an object
of interese to the moralists of Europe ?
MORTUARY LITERATURE.
The death notices in the New York Herald
constitute one of the “features” of that peculiar
* ami notorious shuot. Tho bits of worn out
rhyme which are constantly reproduced, have
suggested a computatioh of how much revenue
each brings in to the establishment in the course
of a year. Thus:
“Sister, thou wait mild and lovely,”
and so on to the extent of four lines, is printed
very often—sometimes it is reproduced two or
three times in the same column—price forty eonts
per line—?l 60 each insertion—or about $5
per annum. Next in order wo have
“Fare the well, sweet bud of beauty," Ac.
This produces a large revenue.
I gave at some length, recently, an account of
the extraordinary passion among people from
the British Isles, English and Irish especially,
for notoriety. They love to get their names
into print. They will impoverish themselves
to that mid. A death in the family is generally
turned to much account by these people. The
Herald is their favorite organ, and I have no
doubt the “death column” in that paper yields
twenty-five thousand dollars per annum. I
subjoin a specimen of these notices :
On Mond*, March 12, Charlotte Amanda,
daughter of August and Sarah , aged 5
years, 11 months and 9 days. ,
Fare thee well sweet, bud of beauty
Little angel, faro thee well
For thou were .too pure and lovely
In a world like this to dwell.

of the Worth Lodge No. 210 F. A. M.; also the

Keepers’ Benevolent Association, and the friends
of the family are respectfully invited to attend
the funeral, this (Tuesday) afternoon, at two
o’clock, from the residence of her parents, No.
67 street. The remains will be interred in
Greenwood Cemetery.
Here are sixteen lines, published twice, forty
cents per line, each insertion, sl2 80. Perhaps
many will think we arc unfeeling; but I defy any
one to repress a smile who knows life and death
in New York city.
BUSINESS MATTERS.
The decline in gold has produced a great
jangle among the Wall street' speculators, and
they are very spiteful against the Secretary of
the Treasury. It was given out one day (I dare
say without authority) that the Treasury De
partment would support gold at 137, when it
“slumped” to 130. The “.lame ducks” arc
flopping about, and demand that the Secretary
shall show his hand.
The proposition of Senator Sherman, to pre
vent a reduction of the non-interest bearing le
gal tenders below *420,000,000, meets with gen- ,
eral approval. Its passage is quite probable;
and it is regarded as likely to “ steady matters.”
In my T judgment, however, the moment it is put
in practical operation, gold will drop below
120, unless political complications should arise
to awaken distrust.
Cotton is the only great staple that shows de
cided strength. Pork closes firmer, owing to
an increased English demand. John Bull will
want some of onr pork to feed his nrmies ope
rating against the Fenians.

From Memphis.—A correspondent front Now
Madrid, to the Memphis Argus says that the re
cent difficulty originated in the fact that an ex-
Federal soldier negro, with whom he
had some difficulty.
The negroes met and formed a company to
massacre all the white population. The citizens
got word of the matter and prepared for the
worst.
On Sunday night the negroes commenced by
firing several shots into a house, one bail nar
rowly missing a young girl in the act of pray
ing.
The citizens, two hundred in number, upon
the first signs of an outbreak, charged upon the
negroes and captured three of the leaders, two
of whom they shot, and hung the other.
At a negro doggery, on the corner of De Soto
and Beale streets, at 11-2 a. in., a negro uamed
Ike Campbell was shot, and soon died. Another
was shot in the same house .yesterday. South
Memphis is noted as the rendezvous for low
nigger whisky saloons, and houses of pros
titution of the same colorr. It is decidedly de
moralized.
