INTERESTING HEADING MATTER ON 4TH PAGE.
A THREAT?
Some days since, Mr. Wilson, one of that
precious duo who represent—and, all! how
well— Massachusetts in the Senate of the Uni
ted States, was delivered of a speech, wherein
the closing- passage is as follows :
“ Two years ago, in a trying hour of the coun
try, we placed a great soldier at the head of all
our armies, and he led the armies to victory and
the country to peace. Perhaps a patriotic and
liberty _ loving people, if disappointed in their
aspirations and their hopes, may again turn to
their great captain and summon him to marshal
them to victory.”
This has a sonorous sound, doubtless, and
was, perhaps, felt by Mr. Wilson to be rather a
neat peroration to his senatorial harangue, but
if there lie more iujft than a mere menace, it
would be well for that person or any other per
son-lie he never so thunderous a senator or
“great” a soldier-to think twice before ven
turing on this iron game of military violence.
In the North it may be that the adherents oi
Radical ideas outnumber those who cleave to
tin- Federal Constitution, but taking the whole
of this country, North and South, into account,
it might be found that a very large majority ot
Us people are still lovers ofliberty and enemies
to despotism in any form whatsoever. Op
posed to tlie peculiar ideas of this Mr. Wilson
is the whole South, of course, in one compact
body; no small portions of the Middle States
and immense sections of the great North West
—in the aggregate, a host of men whom it
would not be wise for any senator to threaten,
or prudent for any general to attempt to force.
Did this language rest for its weight on the
personal importance of Mr. Wilson alone, it
would require but scanty notice ; but, a« hint
ing in plain terms what has already been more
obscurely bruited, would seem to merit some
attention. Senator Wilson we remember five
years since, as a thick-set, heavy-jawqd, vulgar
looking fellow, with stiff, bristly hair and an
oozing face, who was wont to 101 l in not over
decent postures in his eurulc chair, and stare
every modest woman in the Senate galleries out
of countenance. Equal to this task, we have
never learned that during the war or under the
leadership of any great Federal captain, from
John Pope to Grant, he looked in the less
pleasing countenances of armed rneq. So fur,
indeed, to the contrary is our recollection, that
u hen a certain Massachusetts regiment, whereof
tliis person was to lie colonel, was raised, there
suddenly came upon him such qualms that lie
slunk back 10 his cnrule chair, and was after
wards taunted with this falling away' liy this
same decimated regiment, and opened not his
mouth. And yet, now that the war—for all
save Governmental purposes—is over, and there
appears no call to the front, this gaping skinkcr
roars you like any lion, and, because a very
large proportion of the American people desire
a return to old Constitutional forms, is
lor clapping General Grant at the head
of an army to cram tyranny down their
throats. But. away witli tliis Mr.. Wilson.
Vade retro, Sathanas. The threat made is the
i thing to tie regarded—a threat made in the
Senate ot the United States by a member of
that body, that the Federal Commander-in-Chief
is to do certain things equally violent and un
lawful, and that, If accomplished, eaiuonly lie
effected by the shedding of blood and Ate tram
pling down of the Federal Constitution. Blood
shed and Illegality, anarchy and death are
threatened—threatened by an impudent black
guard to a stricken and groaning laud. Ere
t his, we have noted some faint indication of the
brutal menace, but never till now has it been
put so plainly and so well endorsed by the Radi
cal party. “ Victory" is the last word of their
spokesman, and one knows only too well what
that word in such a mouth imports.
There are divers conservative meu in either
House of Congress and it means their expul
sion; if necessary by a file of the “great cap
tain s musketeers. There are presses, too, in
the country edited by men who love Liberty
dearly, and victory means tlie suppression of
tlu* one and the incarceration of the other.
There arc hundreds of millions in trade and in
commerce, in manufactures and mines, and vic
tory brings the handling of all this money and
a tat feast on monopolies, confiscations, taxes,
and tariffs. There are friends to reward and
enemies to punish, revenge to glut and avarice
to gratify, “rebels” to crush and “copper
head” to grind, power to wield and money to
make, and victory is the synonyme of them all.
No wonder tint the heathen rage. No wonder
that the threat comes clear and steady. No
wonder that the saints of New England are on
their mettle and would turn the buyouts that
pinned the Union together to tlie utter rending
in tatters of the Federal Constitution. Cold
steel has been invoked before by legislative bo
dies and tlie Saints are well enough read to re
member bow Pride’s pikemen purged the
Parliament House as they would winnow the
Capital—how the Commons set up a scaffold at
Whitehall as they would erect a gibbet in Penn
sylvania Avenue—how the National Assembly
worked the guiliotineand robbed the rich as t hey
too would play Jack Ketch at the gallows and
Captain Macheatli with each honest mans purse.
Patience has its limits and these gentry had
better beware. Desperate measures often be
tray weakness of cause, and if this impudent
menace be but tlie frothing of moribund malice,
tlie people can and will wait in patience the
nWisoiue end of the Radical party. But it there
In- so much madness, even among these mad
men as to essay in reality the violence threaten
ed, it. were better (lie men who essay it had nev
e* been born. The country needs peace, rest,
law, order, decency-everything that a faithful
observance of the fundamental Law of the land,
will bring it, and is not to be trifled with in the
matter ot this yearning desire.
THE FINANCIAL IMEROGLIO.
There is a strong effort being made by tlie
Radicals in Congress to embarrass Secretary
McCulloch. The ball was recently opened by
Freeman Clarke, Comptroller of the Treasu
ry, whose extraordinary and audacious letter
has been reproduced in the eolums of this jour
nal. Mr. Clarke's statement has been rather
summarily ilealt with, and, in attempting to
prove tlie Secretary false at figures, lias only
succeeded in proving himself a mischievous fab
ricator in statistics. According to Mr; Went
worth, the policy of the Radicals and their
exponent, the Comptroller is to so manacle
Mr. McCulloch, that his efforts to stop shod
dy-ism and stock gambling shall be powerless.
In other words, the Radical programme affords
the reckless blacklegs of Wall street and else
wlicre unlimited scope for tlieii; sinister opera
tions. It is likewise objected that. Mr. Mc-
C1 1 i.i.ocH would have too much power eon-,
leiied on him, if his financial scheme were
adopted. But, tlie friends of tlie Secretary
contend that when dealing with desperate and
unscrupulous men, it is eminently desirable
that such a man as McCulloch should have
•’ll the necessary power the emergency de
mands. He is an honorable man, proud of his
position, and capable of filling it like a master.
His opponents manifest little of his tone or
ability, and, from their debates, evince the
a criest smattering ot political economy, the
dreariest scraps and rinsings of disordered
shatter-brains. He wants a settled market;
- they want a confused one. He desires narrow
margins between specif and paper; they seek
large ones. The consequence of his plans is to
demolish the Wormwoods of speculation ; the
consequence of their interference will be a per
fect saturnalia for stock and gold gamblers.
The great struggle with the Secretary Is to
rule the market for the good of the people at
large; the struggle of the speculators t» rule
the Secretary for the benefit of themselves alone,
and the of the many.
The New York Tribune, however fanatical
about negroes, seems to be financially healthy.
It says :
Give the Secretary of the Treasury the power
he asks for, and we believe eur currency would
be within ten per cent, of par before lie could
redeem one quarter of our outstanding green
backs. For, the instant he begins to redeem,
banks will begin to hoard ; and that will take
us toward resumption with giant strides. As
yet, the hanks have no competitors for -green
backs ; but let us begin to redeem them, and
they will appreciate rapidly.
The saidfr paper, in Thursday’s issue, says :
t letter of “Comptroller of the Currency”
: to the Secretary of the Treasury, pub
iu the Tribune yesterday, may. be ofim
ce to the writer, but in this latitude it is
regarded as an impertinent interference of a
subordinate with matters solely in charge of
theuSecretary of the who very justly
commands the confidence of the financial public
to if rare degree. His Fort Wayne speech and
hißx»ffieis,l report, together with his prudent
administration of the Treasury, have already
put-the country far on the road to specie pay
ments, to the dismay of a crowd of “wild-cat”
bankers in Washington and elsewhere, who see
in specie payxniiits the end of those specula
tions upon whlcjl the few have grown rich at i
the expense and tjje people.
The tendency of Mr. McCulloch’s plan is to
gradually withdraw the Government issues,
which were surely never intended to liold%
permanent place in American finance.. By such
initiation, a promise and hope is given of even
tual suppression of irredeemable paper money
and a recurrence to tlie only proper basis,
which is specie.! The Secretary well knows
from his matured experience and learning, and
not less from tlie disastrous precedents ofjother
countries afflicted with inflated and baseless
paper currency, that a long continuance of such
an evil cannot but bring ruin upon us as it did
upon them. Rule or ruin does not seem to be
an absolute fact with the Radicals; it has as
sumed the new phase of rule and ruin.
It has been to many, a source of wonderment
that Mr. Johnson continues in office such men
as are bitterly antagonistic to his policy. Sen
sation goes very far with Radicals. They court
political martyrdom rather than legitimate dis
missal. With such scars, they hope to embroil the
fanatical element at the North; but the President
is deaf to their cooings for instant execution.
He hides his time and until the fitting moment
shall have arrived the “chosen people” will
neither be stoned like Stephen or gridironed
4ike Saint Lawrence.
Meanwhile, let us hope that there is still con
servatism enough in Congress, to maintain
the Secretary who can alone maintain the
finance of tlie country.
Though the Loan Bill lias been defeated by a
close vote, a reconsideration has been moved,
and under the inspiration of better counsels
there is still a chance for its final passage.
. MURDER WILL OUT.
A few short months ago, the President had
no defender more zealous and eloquent than
Charles A. Dana, of the Chicago Republican,
and whilom the special pet of Messrs. Stanton
and Greelev. For the last calendar month,
no man has been so bitterly hostile, so venom
ously vindictive toward the President than this
same Charles A. Dana. In January last, ac
cording to Mr. Dana, the President was every
thing excellent and exalted; in March, this
same President is, according to Dana, every
thing contemptible and debased. This looks
amazingly strange, but a few developments will
make it as easy of solution as (lie sustained per
pendicular of Columbus’ egg.
The New York Custom House Colleetorship
is perhaps the fattest bone the Government pos
sesses for the picking of the faithful. Eminent
politicians fix their hungry eyes upon its possi
ble attainment with the/ervid gaze of Mussul
inen, many days sojourning in the desert, glar
ing upon tin* minarets of Mecca or Medina.
This toothsome bone, this abode of the Profit,
is at. the disposal of the President. Now, the
sudden death of Preston King east that mar
rowy bone upon the market, and instanter the
greedy Philistines were upon it. Among this
heathen crew Mr. Cn.VRi.E9 A. Dana found
companionship, for Dana is one of your pious
Puritans, who keeps a sharp eve constantly
askew upon potatoes as well as principles; in
fact, lie is of the true cerulean hue that believes
implicitly that the saints can do no wrong,
though they lie, slander and pilfer ever so en
ormously. Had lie kept a civil tongue in his
head, he might have been spared an exposure of
spiteful malignancy. But when, in defiance of
all decency, lie accused the President of an at
tempt lo "buy up the present managers of the
Republican by Government Collector ships," as
serting moreover that “ it was very smart but
won't win," the revelation of the following
cringing, begging letter to this reviled Presi
dent became a necessity:
Chicago, January 20.
Dear Sir ; Some of my friends in the New
York delegation in Congress want me lobe
Collector of New Yoi k. I shall lie glad to have
that office, and accordingly address myself di
rectly to you. I have been s resident of New
York city for nearly twenty years till a few
months since, when l came here on leaving the
War Department. 1 know New York, its mer
chants, and its politicians, but by reason of my
connection with the War Department I have
been absent, so as to be free from all identifies
lion with the political factions or personal con
troversies by which the Union party there had
been much divided. I believe that there is no
person of any prominence in the party whose
appointment would give greater general satis
faction than mine. Should you be disposed so
far to entertain the idea as to wish for informa
tion concerning my capacity to administer the
office, there is no one who can judge better as
to that than Mr. Stanton.
Let me add, that I am myself confident of
performing tlie duties, should they be intrusted
■ to me, to the advantage of the public service,
and to your entire satisfaction.
1 am, with profound respect,
Your faithful servant,
(Signed) Charles A. Dana.
To "his Excellency, the President.
Just think of this dishonest fellow in the
New York Custom House! Was ever a mean
spirited slanderer so neatly, so thoroughly un
masked ? Was ever a Maw worm so dnintly
flayed? A few more such revelations and the
high moral pretensions of the Radical party
will be as fragrant as a putrid herring.
SECRETARY STANTON.
Speaking of 1 lie Radical meetings, recently
inaugurated ill Pennsylvania under the auspices
of Dead Dock Forney, the National Intelli
gencer, among other pen-portraits, 11ms por
trays the Secretary of War whose name was
cheered by that convocation of politic worms ;
And Edwin M. Stanton Was endorsed —the
Secretary of War, wlio is tlie author of such
hideous wrongs that in the forum of the people
lie lias no defender, and who Is now virtually
on trial before the Supreme Court of the United
States, with the infamous Butler for his coun
sel, upon an issue arising from unlawful mili
tary arrests aud.imprisonments.
A Card from Risliop Lynch.
To the Editor of the N. 1 . Tribune:
Silt : The fribune of llfis morning honors
me with an editorial paragraph. 1 lyivc ever
endeavored to stand aloof from angry political
discussions, deeming' that course most in sc
eordanee with my ecclesiastics! character. 1
have now an additional motive, in the duty of
“letting bv-gones lie by-gones,” and oflooliing
forward hopefully, and of laboring earnestly
and manfully for a happier future. You wiil
allow mo, however, to correct some mistakes as
to relating to myself, into which the writer
of the paragraph Itas fallen.
I. He states that I “ was an original, acrimo
nious, efficient and persistent Pro-Slavery
Rebel.” This charge will, l think, surprise
my personal friends, as it certainly surprises
me. So far as acrimony is charged, it dors noi
tally with sundry notices of me and my acts,
published in the Tribune of 1861, 1863 and 1863.
However, let this charge pass. To discuss it
would be to discuss politics, from which T ab
stain.
11. The paragraph states that I had a To Domn
celebrated on the reduction of Fort Sumter in
April, 1861. In reply, I state that the Te Den in
was announced “and sung specially to give
thanks to God for tho wonderful fact—still in
comprehensible io me —that not a single life
had been lost in the artillery duel of those two
days. The accompanying prayers implored a
continuance of the same Divine mercy—that
the clouds which threatened might pass away,
and that tlie land might not have to mourn the t
loss of many lives. This, it seems to ino, was
a Christian appeal, not inappropriate in a con
gregation where many near and dear to us 'bad
passed through the danger unscathed and might
again lie exposed, iam not responsible for
newspaper versions or newspaper comments.
111. The paragraph states In the third place
that I “went to Europe next summer,” that is
in 1861, and “did induce the Pope to recognize
Jeff. Davis as a potentate.” Now, I did not go
■ to Europe for nearly three years after the date
assigned; and, in point of fact, the Pope was not
induced by me or any oije else to recognize the
Confederate Government. It is incorrect to
say that such recognition was ever given. True,
when President Davis learned, through the
newspapers, I presume, the noble words uttered
by his Holiness in the cause of peace and charity,
he wrote to him a respectful letter, to which his.
Holiness replied in kind and courteous lan
guage, such as he always uses, and ns the rules
of well understood etiquette required. Both
the letters were personal, not- diplomatic. On
both sides they were understood to be simply
such. They carried with them no political or
national character. I make this statement that
there may be no mistake as to facts. For myself,
at the time of the correspondence, I was in
South Carolina, and knew no more of it, and
had no more to do with it than the editor of the
Tribune himself.
Finally, while making these corrections in
the statement of my “record,” 1 will lay modes
ty aside, and claim in addition, as a part of the
“record,” tlint X ever desired and prayed for
pence ; tlint during the war I labored earnestly
and to the extent of my ability to mitigate the
evils attendant on it, without stopping to in
quire to what sidp or to what church the suffer
ers belonged ; and that now, the war being
over, I am laboring with equal earnestness to
repair some of the evils it lias left behind.
We nil desire that peaee, prosperity anil good
will may be quickly and firmly re-established
, throughout all the States, and that the Union
may not be merely one of force, but may be
cemented by the mutual kindly offices between
all the sections
'* I am engage“m reconstruction, and I hope
I shall meet the co-operation I desire in New
York.
I am, sir, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
P. N. Lynch, D. D.,
Bishop of Charleston.
New York, March 3, 1566.
Disadvantages of Being White. —The
President of the Opelousas railroad has ordered
that negroes pay the same fare ou the road that
white folks do. That is right. Why did the
Federal officers who controlled the road let the
negrqes pass over it at half price ? White la
borers going from New Orleans to Attakapas to
get work were charged Jive dollars tor passage
on the ears —negro laborers were charged two
dollars and a half. A white passenger was
taxed two and a half dollars for being white, or
a negro was credited with two and a half dol
lars for being black. Why did the Federal
officers make this odious distinction between
black and white people ? Do they not claim
that uo distinction should be made ?

To the Editor of the Constitutionalist:
the emperor’s answer to the address of
THE SENATE.
Sir : The discussions on tho Emperor’s
speech have at last come to an end in the Lux
embourg, and the members of the French Sen
ate have handed their address to the Emperor.
The Senators, wishing to be agreeable to their
Imperial master, thought it their duty to out
Herod Ilerod, by urging stringent measures
against the press and all those opposed to the
consolidation of the Napoleon dynasty; so
much so that the Emperor ‘appears rather
frightened at their exces de zile and has thought
fit to put a damper on their retrograde views.
In liis answer, he tells the Senate “ that his
Government is not a stationary one, and that it
is not in constantly undermining the basis of
an edifice that one arrives at the completion of
the sifine.” He is desirous that tlie Empire
should progress steadily but surely. The Sena
tors appeared rather surprised at tlie language
of the Emperor, who it seems is taking a more
liberal turn.
A change has come o'er the spirit of his dream,
and I think 1 can tell you the reason why.
A SECRET INTERVIEW
took place, on Friday last, between tlie Emper
or and Mons. Emile Ollivier, the leading ultra
Radical deputy for Paris. Napoleon I. begged
of him to speak out and tell him what he
thought of the situation.
“You wish the truth, Sire ?”
“Yes.”
“ All is lost for the Empire, if you do uot
change your system. The nation wishes for
liberty, with or without your dynasty. Your
advisers and your friends are detested ; the re
sult of the elections will be unfavorable to you
in 1869.”
“ How so ?” asked tlie Emperor.
“ The arms of repression you possess ; have
now become harmless ; read the papers; it is of
no use menacing the press; the deputies of the
chambers daily receive letters from their con
stituents, threatening not to re-elect them if they
do not stand up for liberty.”
“ What liberties?”
>i. “Os every kind.”
1, “ I will never grant liberty to the press ; it
ie has been the ruin of three governments. I
r- will grant the right of public meeting's, but
ie nothing else.”
is The Emperor dismissed Mons. Ollivier, tell
id ing him lie would think it over.
IS THE INTENTIONS OF THE EMPEROR
y are now a secret for no one—the laws as regards
in the. press will be maintained, but any body will
3S lie allowed to found a newspaper without giv
g, ing security, as heretofore. Public meetings
a- will no longer be prohibited, but the debates
is there held are to be published in the pnblie pa
of pers. Good news has arrived from America,
">f and it appears that we are not to go to war
t- with the United States; home questions will
'a- alone trouble the Emperor’s sleep.
S- the ADDRESS OF THE CORPS LEGI9LATIF.
itt The discussion will begin on Monday, 20th.
ig The address of the lower house is very different
■i- from that of the upper ; it expresses a hope
that the convention of the 15th will be a new
guarantee for the temporal power of the Pope ;
w that the troops will be withdrawn from Mexico.
" The Corps Legislatlf further congratulates the
li Emperor on the tranquil state of the country,
w and hopes that liberty will be extended to the
w people.
!. THE ORIENTAL QUESTION
iy again attracts our attention, as the Christian
re population of Lebanon are desirous of tlirow
ing off the yoke of lslamism. borne time ago,
|(1 the Turkish troops, commanded by Emir Pacha,
10 routed a party of Christians, commanded by
st ‘ Koran, the Lebanon chief; a few days after an
other engagement took place, in which Emir
a- Pacha was totally routed, losing all his baggage
a- and « great number ot men—he, himself, was
1 obliged to flee in all haste, in order not to fall
info the hands of the Christians.
?d It is affirmed at Constantinople that the hand
ot Russia is visible In _ this affair, and that the
Cabinet of St. Petersburg is trying to avail it
self of tire present embarrassments of France
and Germany to play the wolf and the lamb
with the Porte. The moment is well clioggp,
ie for neither France, Prussia, nor England, who
v are too much taken up with their own affairs,
will be able to olf'er any opposition to the pro-
3 T jeets of Russia. The departure of both the
Austrian and Prussian Ambassadors from Paris,
y for their respective courts, has caused some ex
citement in the political world here. We are
always afraid r of a blow up between the two
rival German Powers. Lord Palmerston used
!y 1° Hfl .V that the Schleswig-Holstein question was
like a constantly lighted match hovering over
the European powder magazine.
Count Bismark lias reckoned without his host
, s in thinking that, the Hungarian question would
.. *’C a poser for Austria. The Maygars are now r
most loyal subjects, and would lie found
I, amongst the most zealous backers of' the
le House of Hapsburg against the overbearing
y Hohenzollerns.
A ROLAND FOR AN OLIVER.
j. Austria, however, can safely reckon on the
•great dissatisfaction felt with the Government
in .Prussia to annoy her rival—the liberal spirit
shown of late by the Emperor Franz Joseph
| lias made him very popular all over Germany.
There is now increasing agitation in the land of
:i* Bismark, and even the working classes are
1 1 beginning to agitate; so much so, that all mect-
I ings of every kind have been most strictly pro
,C hiliitcd. A large gathering of artisans was the
g oi her day contemplated in order to congratulate
>' the opposition on their firm attitude towards
, the Government, but it came to nothing, as the
military kept a sharp look out. There have
been riots in the streets, and both insurgents
and police agents have come to grief. The
p Government is using most stringent measures,
•s and the press is ordered to talk of every thing
b else hut polities. All eyes are anxiously turned
’’ towards Prussia, as there is now no doubt but
;i that the ministry and the people are at daggers
i- drawn, and no compromise is the cry in the
ranks of the opposition,
n .
„ It is to he feared that like disturbances will
n take place in Italy, as the raising of the taxes
0 lias given great dissatisfaction amongst flic
working classes. At Naples there has been a
o strike amongst tlie hackney coachmen, which
a is likely to degenerate into a riot. The Mayor
* of Naples wished the coachmen of that town to
e "' ( ‘ar a certain livery, as their ordinary dress
is * was generally composed of nothing but tattered
Jj garments. lie proposed advancing the money
lt for the said livery, which was to be paid off by
,]• monthley instalments. The Neapolitan jarveys,
however, politely declined the honor, and even
b expressed their disapprobation in a rather bois
terous manner, which necessitated their being
o sent to the lock-up. Several conflicts have
b already taken place between the corporation of
p coachmen and the police. Brigandage is still
o in a very flourishing state in the Neapolitan ter
litory.
e
;1 PRINCE NAPOLEON TAKEN PRISONER BV THE
- BRIGANDS.
S. A report was current a few days ago, which
caused much alarm at the Palais Royal. It is
li ""’ll known that his Imperial Highness Prince
n Napoleon is now traveling in the South of
V Italy, and as he had not been heard of for several
' t ‘ days at Naples, it was reported that he had
I fallen4hlo the hands of some Fra Diavolo; but
n such is not the case; his Highness arrived safely
d at Capri a few days ago. Prince Napoleon will,
‘ in Ills next excursion, be always accompanied
n by a regiment of Italian cavalry.
ROME.
l ' The friendly relations between the Pope and
y the Czar are at an end, as Prince Gortsehakoff
e has formally declined to disavow the conduct
-of Baron de Meyerdorf who was very saucy to*
’ his Holiness on New Year’s day. Thenewp’on
i tfficial army is being got together; the Bel
gians are in the majority; the French do not
J seem to be very anxious to figure in the Papal
, legion. ,
3 It is said that the new kingdom of Italy will
1 pay the Papal loan on condition of its recognh
, tion bv the Holy See.*
I am sorry to sq|' that the toilets of our
ladies are getting every day more deep! litres, and
it may truly be said that
“ A want of decency U a want of sense,”
for it is now very difficult to distinguish the
comme il faut from the non comme ilfaut. If
poor Mons. Dupin were’still alive lie wfauld see
the effect of his pamphlet against overdress,
which has been the cause of our ladies being
now too underdressed.
ANOTHER RIDICULOUS FASHION
of the day is the rage of our political men for
writing'for the stage. Mflns. Emile de Girardin,
the leading writer In the Presse, gave the ex
ample with le supplice dune femme. Others
have followed the wake with like ill success.
The best of it is that all of these gentlemen are
very reliant, and fhney they soar as high as our
first dramatic authors ; but the cobbler will sel
' dom utiefc to his last, and we all w»b to sem
two masters. Victor Hugo, who, it is kn >wu
has for some time beeu living iu exile, in G; ;rn
scy, will shortly give his now work to the. >ub
lic. It is entitled
LBS TBAVAILLEURB, DE La HER. <’■'
It is in three volumes, and it is said tofsnr
pass anything yet written by the celebrated’au
thor of Notre Dame. A new work of interest
is also Le livre cFor, a kind of French Plutafch ;
giving a biography of those who have befrjtnd
ed humanity.
A Radical on tub Presidext.— The •cor
respondent of the Springfield Republican is
Secretary of the Massachusetts Legislature*—
He Lakes this amiable view of the President’s
character :
“ Fortunately he has an irresistible propen
sity to gabble, and there are a hundred eplumus
of evidence in his recorded and acknowledged
conversations (hat he has beeu systematically
deceiving the Republicans from the beginning
lie evidently' has all the viecs which appertain
'to the mean white race from which he sprung,
vulgarity, deceit, treachery, a violent temper
apd a mulish obstinacy. It is not one of the
most curious of all the curious phenomena of
this curious age that the loyal North, after go
ing through a four years’ war against slavery,
with all its adjuncts, rum, tobacco, spittle, fihh
and barbarity generally, should at List find
itself saddled and mounted by perhaps the beat
representative of this vile element that the
whole country could furnish V When is this
thing to end 1 If such incongruities are to con
tinue in all the departments of life, we shall
have a commission of architects deliberately
selecting the corner stone of some hog-sty for
the chief arnament of the Gettysburg monu
ment, and a common house painter will be en
gaged to furnish the pictorial ornaments for
the National Capitol.”
Another Constitutional Amendment.— lt
is rumored that a prominent member of the
; Committee on Reconstruction has prepared,
and means to offer in Congress, in a few days,
the subjoined additional amendment to the Con-
Mitution. It meets with great favor, and will
be engineered with special energy by the pro
•j.-rtor of several great, still incomplete military
enterprises. It is ns follows:— Richmond En
quirer. ,
Article XCV. That no State shall he admit
ted to representation in Congress until, Ay a
provision embodied in its fundamental law, it
1 ledges ita citizens never to claim restitution
of any pianos, watches, finger rings, spoons,
silk dresses, hooks, pictures, sideboards, wines,
liquors, carriages, ami other portable property
which-may at any time, under the pressure of
military necessity, have been transferred, shipp
ed, removed or carried away from their resi
dences, cellars, grounds, ouf-hotises or stlStks
and delivered into the care and keepingol loyal
citizens of New England—and all persons
claiming or asserting title to any such portable
property so removed,.shall he excluded from
t lie basis of representation, and he forever dis
qualified to hold any office Os trust or profit
under the State or General Government.
New Hampshire Election.— The Concord
(New Hampshire) Patriot , of Wednesday, in
chronicling the result in that State, says:
The disunionsts have swept the State, but by
a majority considerably reduced from that of
last year—probably a third less. It will be seen
that they have voted “solid” in support of the
Radical men an ! measures of the Congressional
wing of that party. This fact is somewhat sur
prising; but when it. is considered that the
whole patronage of the President was allowed
to be used against him, no other result could be
reasonably expected.

Departed this 1 ifV•, at his residence, in Sparta,
Georgia, on the Bth day of March, 1860, Captain Ito
icatio W. Fokbrs, in the 36th year of his age. •*
it were vain to attempt to depiet the grief of the be
reaved family, or to measure the loss sustained by
them. We would not lift the curtain where sorrow
settles in gloomy darkness over lend and affectionate
hearts. fT -
Captain Forbes was a kind and indulgent husband
and father, ever careful to anticipate the wants aud to
provide for the comfort of his family. He was a man
of honor, laithiu! and devoted to his friends. Many
who knew him will witness the truth that he rallied
liis heart in his hand, and generous to a fault knew no
greater pleasure than to serve those he held dear, and
to give assistance to the needy. He was a man of fine
judgment, endowed with much more than ordinary
natural ability and a remarkable talent for business.
Entering the army at the commencement of the
war, he served his country with industry and fidelity.
He truly did what he eohld to relieve his comrades
amid the trials and hardships of the .amp, and many a
; war-worn veteran will tesl.fy to iiis kindlv nature and
ever ready sympathy.
In the latter days of his r:ul nfiiic-tiofi no theme
dwelt so often upon his lips a* the inai hek, the hero
ism and the sufferings of his gallant comrades in camp
and field. The decline of his life was gradual and pro
tracted, lmt it is over and “after life’s fitful fever he
sleeps well.'’ With a tear to his memory, we leave
him with his God, who knoweth the secrets of til
hearts.
May mil departed friend find with a compassionate
Redeemer that mercy which in life he so often shewA
ed to suffering humanity. m
“No further seek his merits to disclose i ,
Or draw his frailties from their dreA l •» * ~n*
(There they alike in trembling hope repose)
The bosom of his Father and his God!” •

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
SOUTHERN
LEG AND ARM CO.,
MADISON, GA.
THE Artificial Dogs and Arms (Urea's Patent)
manufactured by this Company, have met with
the unqualified approval of the most skillful and dis
tinguished Burgeons and men of science in France and
England ; and after the closest and most rigid exami
nation in this country, a Commission was issued by
the Surgeon General of the TTuitcd States, in his
“ Circular Order,” May 18th, 1865, to have them fuv
nished to each soldier who had lost a limb in the Fed
eral service.
THEY ARE CONSTRUCTED OF WILLOW,
COVERED WITH RAW-IfIDK, HIGHLY
ENAMELED, FLESH COLOR, IMPER
VIOUS TO WATER AND UNAF
FECTED BY HEAT.
A Medium Size Arm weighs only ‘4l
ounces, and a Leg from 4- to O pounds.
Notwithstanding their lightness they are very dura
ble, requiring but little expense to keep them in order,
and so simple in their construction that a common me
chanic caq make any necessary repairs in a few min
utes, and so strong that it is impossible to split it with
an axe or break it with reasonable force.
We imitate nature to the life, and make the limb
the shape of the corresponding leg or arm, and finish
it as perfectly as possible. The natural motion very
often is so perfect that in large number of cases it is
impossible to tell which is the artificial from the sound
limb.
THE ARM
is the wander of the age and challenges the admiration
of the world. A person whose stump is one or more
inches in length and retains a healthy degree of force
and rigidity, can, with this arm, at will,
Raise tlie Artificial Hand to his Mouth, Forehead or
even to the top or hack of his Head,
Put on or take oft his Hat,
Carry his Valise or Cloak,
Use the Hoe, Axe or Plough Handles,
Roll a Wheelbarrow,
And by securing a knife, fork, pen, nail brush or otliev
implement into the part of the hand prepared for it,
he can
Cut his Food and Carry it to his Mouth,
Write with Respectable Clearness,
Wash the Remaining Hand,
Play the Violin,
Hold the Reins in Driving, etc., etc. 1
THE LEG
is equally as useful and beautiful, and as perfect a
piece of mechanician) as the arm. The ankle joint is
so constructed as to give the natural motion with the
assistance of the toe joints to the foot, which being
connected to the upper part of the log hy artificial
cords running over pulleys, secures a proper lever
power, the whole resting upon a huff base, making the
step livllt, elastic, natural and easy. Persons wearing
one of these legs
Readily Walk Five Miles—Plough all day long,
Do Carpenter or Cabinet Work,
Go Up and Down Stairs, with ease,
*" Mount and Dismount a Horse,
And with practice Run*, Jump and Dance,
With two Artificial Legs Walk two miles Without
Resttng,
Drive a Wagon—Make Salesmen or Expressmen,
Telegraph Operator*, Ac.

of their own manufacture.
