agrarianism.
Mr. BF.N.IAMIN WADR, President nl lll<‘ l '*'l *■''
States Senate, lias made a very remarks i c
speech at Lawrcnee, Kansas. Having run
through the gamut of abolition, he declares
for agrarianism:
“ Ho said that the shadow of another sH
,rl c was over us; that Congress, which h.ul
done so much for the slave, quietly n;
card the terrible distinction which exists be
tween the laborer and employer. 1 0 1
not fairly divided, and a more equal disti ibu
tion must be wrought out. If your dull head-*,
lie said, can’t understand tins, the women wl ,
and canvassers upon the eve of nmelection ' ;
have to tell the laborers what they will do foi
them.”
It does not require an amazing amount or
acumen to understand that, for party purposes,
these desperate Radical gamesters are attempt
ing a wholesale bribery of the poorer classes
at the North, just as they have corrupted the
Southern negro by promises of forty acre lots.
Mr. Wade lias caused a sensation and the peo
ple at large are beginning to comprehend that
the rule or ruin laetiou, having finished tlicii
war upon slavery, are about to inaugurate a
desperate onslaught upon property and there
must be “a new distribution, not only of lands,
but of all property everywhere.”
VVenoet.p Pini,Lies and Wade arc in per
fect accord, as will be seen by this extract from
a recent letter in the Anti-Slavery Standard.
Pun,l,ms says :
Again, confiscation is mere naked justice to
the former slave. Who brought the land into
cultivation? Whose sweat and toil are mixed
with it forever ? Who cleared Itlose lores!: .
Who made those roads? Whose blind reared
those houses? Whose wages are invested in
those warehouses and towns? Ol course, tin
negro’s. Does the nation call it justice to
turn out such a one penniless, ignorant, naked
to begin the world ? Why should lie not have
a share of his inheritance ? We used to hem
much ol compensation. 1 am in iuvor of it—
“ Pay ransom to the owner
And till the ling to the brim.
Who is the owne* 'i 'I he slave is
And ever was. J'ai iiim.”
Compensate the slave. Divide with him what
the past generation of blacks and whites have
accumulated. The master’s ii! desert, the na
tion’s need, security for the future, and justice
to the negro —all demand confiscation.
It never seems to strike Mr. Phillips that
the rule lie applies to the South is equally ap
plicable farther North. Indeed, in the matter
of wholesale agrarianism, Mr. Wade is ahead
of Mr. Pbii,i.h’S himself; for, while Wendell
Phillips —an immensely rich man, enriched
by slave-trading ancestors —hopes, to keep con
fiscation at the South* Mr. Waive intimates
that it must take a wider sweep and extend
even to Kelley’s national flag staff, the North
Pole.
The Baltimore Gazette takes Mr. Phillips’
argument and gives it back with interest, ft
says :
“Let us adapt it to Massachusetts, for exam
ple. Wiio brought the land there into cultiva
tion ? Whose sweat and toil are mixed up with
it forever? Who cleared its forests? Whose
hands reared those gigantic manufactories ?
Whose wages are invested in those warehouses
and towns? Os course the laboring white,
man’s. Why should lie not have a share of his
inheritance ? Divide with him what the past
generations of white laborers have accumula
ted. The Puritan owner’s fanaticism and ava
riciousness, the nation’s need, security for the
future and justice to the white laborers, all
demand that all this property should be eon
fisented.
“As Wendell Phillips is himself a large pro
perty holder, and as he lias made it his boast
that lor thirty years he labored to destroy the
Union whilst the laborers who built the house s
tic owns and who aided to increase the wealth
he inherits were loyal, why not make his the
first case of confiscation and partition? And
Butler, too, the justice ot stripping him of hit
ill-gotten wealth is even still more apparent,
lie is said to possess a million ol dollars, all or
nearly all of which was wrung front the plant
ers and merchants of the South. As this
money was, according to the theory ol Phillips,
the product of negro labor, it belongs “of
course” to the negro. So that Butler, whilst
imagining he was plundering llte Southern white
man, was, in point of tact, guilty of the ineffable
meanness of robbing llte slave, The doggerel
quoted by Phillips applies, therefore, with
peculiar force to the great, ‘ bottled up :’
u Fay ransom to tin* owner
Anil till the lint' to llio brim.
Who istheow.ierl The slave in
And ever was l’*v Nim.”
11 It. is a boomerang argument. Hurled at
others it returns to smite the throwi r. It ad
mits, however, of imlituilcd extension. Just
think of it! All the railroads of the country
were built by Irish laborers—therefore they are
owners of the railroads. It is our duty to con
fiscate the railroads so that every Irishman
should ‘ have a share in his inheritance.’ Go
Oil, gentlemen, it is an easy course you are satl
ingjnst now, but the mariner who whistles for
a wind may conjure up a tompcsl.”
PERSONS ENTITLED TO REGISTER.
According to (lie Attorney General’s con
struction of the Military Act, which has author
ity by tiic endorsement of Ihe President, every
male citizen, native-born or naturalized, who
will be twenty-one years of age on the day of
election ; no matter how much aid or comfort
be gave to the Confederate States, either by
force of arms, subscription to loans, or in any
other way, has the right to register and vote:
Unless lie held, before the. tear commenced, a
military or civil oflicc under the United States
Government, or was Governor of a State,
Member of Congress, Member of the Legisla
ture, United States Senator, Judge of a Court,
or bolder of a county oflicc which required an
oath to support the United States Constitution,
or has been convicted of felony.
Such exceptional eases disqualify. AH other
persons have the right to register and vote.
Female Suffrage.—John Stuart Mill
got 73 votes in the House of Commons in favor
of female suffrage. The New York Time* thinks
many of this number thus voted for mere sport.
It is notoriously true that the English working
classes oppose it, and so, too, do the negroes in
this country. The Times says the negro is hos
tile to any further extension of suffrage and
will give it neither to foreigners nor women.
The Albany Evening Journal takes a novel
view of the ease. It says :
“ Women at the ballot-box will be followed
by women in the jury-box. How delightful it
will then be to serve one’s country. The class
of professional jurymen will increase wonder
fully. And there will be no objection to stav
ing out all night on a knotty and interesting
case, either.”
The Mean Whites.— A few, says the Rich
mond Enquirer, have beeu false to nature’s in
stincts. A few whites have united to inflame
the negroes, and to head their movement; but
it has been for the office which they hoped thus
to clutch for themselves. We will not defile
these lines with their names. Veual conspira
tors against the Commonwealth, and traitors to
their race—the salaries and stealings and titles
of office, will be a poor reward for the shame
that buys them.
Titb Recent Prize Fight. —The New York
Times describes it thus: “Two men pound
each other’s faces to jelly, to the hue and con
sistency of beef liver,. and the blasphemous
brutes looking on, with horrid curses and
loathesome jests, cry out, ‘ Kill him this time 1’
‘ Kill him for his sister 1” ‘ Bleed him for his
mother!’ or exude tenfold viler ribaldry. This,
forsooth, is the manly art.”
The Five Monarchs.— The five monarchs
ire not satisfied with their monopoly of honor ; ]
they seek, like Alexander, for more worlds
to conquer. A Washington correspondent of
the Richmond Enquirer says :
“To complete the degradation of the South,
the military commanders are aspiring to the
highest civil trusts. In South Carolina Gen.
Sickles means to he U nited States Senator by
fair means or foul. In Alabama, Gen. Swayne
tias resolved on possessing tbe same office, and
will, if allowed, pack the registration so as to
secure this result. Sheridan would Hardly sur
render his pay and emoluments to be Senator
Irom Louisiana, and which of his creatures he
proposes to foist upon the people of that State,
lam not yes advised. The most signal out
rage so far, ill my judgment, out of many, is
:he high-handed fraud of Sheridan in packing
lie registration lists of Louisiana, so as to ex
clude three-fourths of the while voters of that
Slate, and thus give a majority of 15,000 to the
negroes. This, I hear, is to he set aside ; but 1
shall not believe it till 1 see it. 1 believe the
(rand will stand.
The Hath of the Dog. —The Mobile Rcyis
ter says : “ As for ourselves, we prefer greatly
to have no representatives at Washington to
having them in jjte persons ot Southern rene
gades or Northern adventurers, who have come
among us to lawn aud hide their real princi
ples, lor the purpose of getting Southern votes
for Federal office. When it comes to that, we
shall be prepared to advocate a full delegation
to Congress of black men, and wo are already
prepared to demonstrate that sound policy,
looking to our best interests in the future, de
mands that course. The North has given ns
the political negro, let us return the compli
ment in kind, and give him to the Federal coun
cils of the nation. It is the shortest method ol
cure of the Radical distemper, and will speedi
ly bring the question home to Northern minds.
Besides this, on Radical principles, there isn’t
a black man in the South who is uot eutitled to
sit in an armed and cushioned chair, with his
handsome salary of several thousand dollars a
yc.tr, by the side of Sumner in the Senate and
Kelley and Butler and Stevens in the House
The hair of the dog ii Lli~ Jjest cure for the
bite.”
An Eye Opener.— We have frequently heard
it rumored ll),at several journals in the South
bespattered tliemsetyco vith Radical mud for
I Radical pennies. The mud was bogiiteously
plastered nqt the money did not come. Him
iitae la chry mac-Uepan these tears of the disap
pointed. The New York Herald lets the eat out
of tiie bag. It says :
Demands of an cxhorbltant character have
been made by sundry Southern editors
and Republican politicians upon the Congres
sional Republican Committee at Washington
for means to maintain or start newspapers in
the South. But the financial condition of the
Committee, it appears, docs not warrant the
lavish expenditure, and we understand that
they have been compelled to refuse the appli
’ cations. All their funds are employed in cir
culating documents throughout the South, and
paying the expenses of propagandists of varied
complexions to preach the doctrine of Radical
’ republicanism in the cities and on the planta
tions of the South.
The Census. —It will be news to the multi
tude that a “ cheap and quiet census ” lias been
•aken, called a “complete consusof the United
Stales.” The whole thing was managed through
the Statistical Bureau and internal revenue offi
cers. These gentry received no pay and did
little work. The amount of one patriotic as
sessor’s iaLor is thus recorded by himself:
“ We were not to hp paid for going through
our division and taking the y.ensus, and so of
course we did not do it. We work partly for
a living, and not altogether for the fun of it;
and as to estimating the population of thirteen
towns and one city, without regard to the cen
sus returns, we did not possess enough of om
niscience to trust ourselves with it. So we
quietly and soberly saf, [l own, and taking tin
last census for a basis, we
of each town in our division in population
since that time. If we got within six rows of
apple trees of the truth it is a wonder.”
Foreigners at a Discount. —The Radicals
claim great love for the foreigners. Here is a
very popular resolution due North :
Resolved, That whilst we earnestly advocate
the doctrine of protection to home manufac
turers, went, the same time, deprecate and op
pose the efforts now being made to import for
eign labor to compete with the home laborer,
and we urgently request our representatives in
Congress to provide by legislation a head tax
upon imported laborers.
Nothing was good enough for Irish and Ger
mans when the grand army of the Union
needed patriots to do the fighting for patriots
who had no stomach for the fray. That lemon
is now squeezed, and the pee! is worthless. It
will cause Yankee Doodle to slip some day and
crack his crown.
1 Gkouoia. —There is said to be a good deal of
i feeling, and that not of a very amiable character,
among the several Radical aspirants for guber
natorial honors in this State. The Atlanta rnan
is reported to be growing particularly nervous
about the questionable honor of bearing that
banner through the coming contest. We sus
pect somebody will be disappointed in this
1 matter, and much mortification ensue.

Poor Coi.fax—A correspondent of the Cin
cinnati Commercial disposes of Colfax’s Pres
idential aspirations in this wise :
“Colfax was bamboozled by a few crazy fel
lows into the belief that lie had a chance, and
the poor little man has been worrying himself,
nigh unto death ever since. He lias been
writing to the Fenians about Vinegar Hill; to
(he Christians about the happy land; to the
Jews about Jerusalem ; to the Baptists in favor
of immersion ; to tiie Calvanists in favor of hell
fire; to the Catholics in favor of the Pope, and
to the Radicals hallelujah for the niggers, And
as if this wasn’t enough to elect a man, lie lias
lectured three thousand four hundred and fifty
live tims on buffaloes, bears and wild cats.
Unconditional Unionists.— The New York
World thus happily hits off a contemptible
class of men:
“ Let the ‘ noble army of martyrs’ then, who
claim an apotheosis in virtue of the terrible
persecutions, of which they were not only the
victims but the sole historians, avoid that abuse
of language from which flow so many miscon
ceptions and errors. Let their title be Unionists
under one, two, or a hundred conditions, but
flcvcr again Unconditional Unionists.”
Passing Away.— The census statistics of
Rhode Island show a far greater proportion of
deaths than of births among the colored people
in that State, and the Springfield Republican
believes that unless the colored race through
out New England are replenished from immi
gration from the South the negroes in that see
tion will soon disappear. In Massachusetts the
negro population decreased 578 from 1855 to
1800, and 4,3117 lrom 1800 to 1865.
-
Registration at New Orleans.— The Pica
yune, of the 31st ult., reports the number on
the rolls up to that time: Whiles, 10,442;
blacks, 12,584. Many of the blacks registered
arc no doubt persons without a fixed home,
who will not be in the city at the time of the
election.
Perhaps not; but there will be plenty of jm
ported proxies from the parishes to take their
places. It is blackberry time, Mr. Pie.
An Important Question.— The New Or
leans Crescent says the darkies in the country
parishes are beginning to ask of the Radical
emissaries among them how it js possible for
freed men to be free, if they can’t vpte as they
please ?
A sensation was created in a Bureau school
in Ghristiansbiirg, Virginia, by the sudden ap- !
pearance therein of one Mrs. Kitty McMelviu, ;
colored, who came provided with a long lcatli- '
ern thong, with which to avenge some insult \
which the school marm had put upon her 1
daughter. The school marm fled, nnd escaped 1
the wrath to come.

[From the Niagara (Canada) Mail.
A Canadian Editor on Jefferson Davis,
Air. Jefferson Davis, President of the late
Confederate Slates of America, came to Niagara
last Thursday, on hoard the ltothsay Castle,
from Toronto. A considerable number of peo
ple were on the wharf to greet the distinguished
exile, whose career as a statesman and ruler
over the Confederate States during their stormy
existence, and whose subsequent captivity and
, sufferings at the hands of an ungenerous enemy,
have in turn attracted the admiration aud called
forth the sympathy of the world, and of none
more than of the people of Canada.
The hearty and respectful manner in which
Mr. Davis was greeted in Nia ~.rn, is evidence
that misfortune and the apparent rnin of the
cause so long contended for by Mr. Davis and
the Southern States, are no bar to the expres
sion <d"the stimeiv admiration entertained here
i for the bravery anil resolution With willed the
1 S“UIU contended ior its rights and all but gain
ed them against such overwhelming odds. The
■ history of that long and memorable struggle is
imprinted in every feature, on the public mind
of Canada, and excited the keenest feelings of
our people, who, although observers, only, felt
that their own most vital interests were involv
ed more or less iu the issues of that contest.-
We do not philosophize on this point. The sub
jugation of the South has forced new and greater
responsibilities -upon the people of British
America. It has increased out dangers; but it
has had the corresponding effect of rousing up
the national spirit of our people, to make every
needful sacrifice to tr ‘utain onr position as the
only really free country rema’n'ng upon the
soil of North America.
1 ft is a subject of pride to the Canadians that
they can offer the hospitality of their soil and
' the shelter of tiie British liag to so many wor
thy men who are proscribed aud banished from
their homes, for no crime but that which, ac
cording to all American principles, is no crime
at all, viz: to assert the right of every people
to choose their own form of government, and
to set aside all sueii as do not exist with the
- consent of tiie people.
, Mr. Davis stands in an unique position. He
. is the I’residei tde jure of the Southern States.
elected by the unanimous vote of the people of
i eleven States to preside over them. From that
- seat of authority he has been deposed by a
I President do /ado elected by the Northern
States alone, and who did not receive a single
vote in the Confederacy now subject to his ar
bitrary sway.
i Tin-North, for the time beintr, is showing,
I after the old fashion of vulgar conquerors, that
• “Might makes Right;” while the people of
; the South, like the once dppressod loyalists of
i England, fel in their hearts the spirit il not
. the words of the old dilty
“To hoc gooil corn upon the
• Ami ;i irallowH lmilt to bang the Whig*,
, Ami the riubt restored where the right should bo -
, Ob! that’s the thing would wanton me!”
i It. is (allied that si cull once opened in the
( middle ;;f I lie; Homan torum, and it could not
bo tilled up, and would not close, until tin:
noblest tiling ol Home avast cast into it. Quin
tins Cmtius leaped into it and it closed. The
’ full' that has opened between (he Northern and
i Southern Stales, seems equally yawning and
dctliul. Blood, ruin, exile and oppression
. cannot Mil it, but widen and deepen it every
day. Justice and generosity might close it in
time, but not until the South can cast into that
gull'all the great recollections ol the past, and
the North wipe out ol ils calendar those red
| latter days written in blood, in which it glories
c so much ; is it probable that the Northern and
Southern States will ngiup become one people,
united in those cordial bonds of unity, without
• which a political connection becomes a danger
1 and a curse to both parties? A great country
s like the late Confederacy cannot be governed
on snob principles its are now in yo&ue at
1 Washington. The white English race can never
t be permanently subjected to the rule ol eman
) cipilled slaves without a dual catastrophe,
which will end in the extermination of the onp
or of the other race. The Russianizing of once
. free Republics, is a step that even a Muscovite
1 Czar would long hesitate to take, under the
• circumstances of American society. The late
events at. Mobile are the forerunners ol fresh
! troubles arising from the wild policy of Con
' gross, ts the North were wire, it would see
' that only through Southern men can the South
he successfully ruled, and its prosperity re
stored. If the selfish factions at Washington
will not see this, hut intent only on maintain
ing their political supremacy, determined to'
• rule and ruin, iu despite of the rights and fecl
i ings of the Southern people, both North and
. South most ultimately go down under the load
of difMctjllies, political and financial, which
! such a policy entails.
Horace Greeley, in spite of his eccentricities,
is one of the few public men in the States who
appear to see this truth. He has shown hi;
conviction in a marked manner, by becoming
one of the bail of Mr. Davis. Whether the bit
terness of the Northern mind will yield to the
example of Greeley remains to be* seen. We
are taught that “ charity never faiietli,” hut the
least likely of events is, that tiie selfish politi
cians now in power will ever dream of letting
any more Christian virtue prevail to the endan
gering of their party supremacy. As President
Lincoln once said : “ If slavery will save the
Union, I will maintain slavery. If emancipa
tion will save the Union, I go for emancipation ;
but the preservation of the Union is all in all.”
What Lincoln was ready to do to save the
Union, his followers arc ready to do, and ten
times more not to restore the Union, hut to
save their party. The Union is nowhere in
comparison with tiie retention of power by the
Black Republicans now supreme in Congress.
The infamous charges made by the authorities
at Washington, connecting Mr. Davis’ name
with the death of Lincoln, have all long ago
hgpn exploded as the basest of fabrications.—
But these charges answered their purpose as an
excuse l'or'prolongiug his unjust imprisonment,
until the whole world cried shame upon it, and
tiie Washington administrators could not find
even a colorable plea for his retention.
The indictments for treason preferred against
him, it seems, could never get the length of a
trial, aud in all probability never will, for there
is no constitutional law of the United States
that could make treason out of tne legal and
national acts of the sovereign States, and of in
dividuals acting in obedience to those States,
and no judge in the United States who values
bis reputation as a lawyer, would dare declare
those acts to he legally treason.
The long imprisonment of Mr. Davis seemed
more like revenge than law, while the perjured
villains who gave evidence in Montreal in the
case of St. Alban’s raid, and who brought
charges against Mr. Davis, arc some of them at
this moment, in (lie State prison for perjuries
committed by them, leaving no option to the
Washington authorities but to discharge Mr.
Davis from custody—under bail to be sure—.
hut it is questionable if the case will ever he
again brought up in the courts. '
The people of Niagara and of Canada gener
ally, will sliow respect to his great talents as a
Statesman, .and , »will be glad to find that the
freedom he enjoys here shall contribute to Ihe
restoration of his strength and health, appar
rentl a good deal impaired by the terrible
wear of the last six or seven years ot his life.
We do not, like a number of our cotempora
ries, profess to know all about Mr. Davis’ move
ments or intentions. Should he remain here,
the peopjo of Niagara would be glad' to num
ber him*among the residents of our good old
borough and make his stay as pleasant as pos
sible.
President Johnson is a non-professor of re- :
ligion. Os the seven members of his Cabinet, ■
there is only one professor of religion, Secre

Judges of the Supreme Court or the United

old-school Presbyterian Church. The United i

Landlord and Tenant.
The journalist who lias the welfare of the
com mini thy on the tip of his pm deserves the
thanks o', his fellows. Your touching appeals,
Messrs. Editors, to the landed gentry in behull
ol the t< ;nant have been heeded ; leastwise, there
are instances where the landlord has voluntarily
signified a willingness to subscribe to the times.
We ar e ° n the eve of another fluttering. The
i nigh „y contracting season is at hand, and it
behaves all-merchant, banker, mechanic. lawyer,
editor and physician to- examine bis “balance
sheet’’ before signing an obligation that the
non k share” of bis never so liardly earned
stamps shall he pledged, or cast into gold to
i the rcnt ” The bright dreams of 1865 and
, , have not been realized. Stagnation rules
the hour, and the cloud which “lowered o’er
our house” linger angrily; meantime our land
lords havo received their inflated rents without
discount. With a few honorable exception
they claim the last farthing; lienee our common
adversity secured for them a special partnei
ship, without contribution of labor , capital or
skill. The poor tenant struggling with the mill
stone, pays fifi, rent, still waiting for “ =onn
thing to turn up.” These illusions of hope are
sometimes comforting, but they will not buy a
pound of bacon. It is idle to ever dream of
prosperity while our “ ship of state” is aground,
without rudder or compass. Let ns, then, prae
tise the strictest economy. We owe this to “ur
families, to society; and let nr. hope that our
landlords will magnanimously take the initia
tory steps in this reformation. Concert of
action or a meeting of tenants would doubtless
prove advantageous to landlord and tenant. A
“ masterly state of inactivity,” however poli
tic, is saier than the present ruinous policy.

“The SouthernOrphans’ Association.”—
j Anxcetv for Riches.—Why any 011 c should
address Uie Baltimore Sun with inquiries rcla
, live to the “list of prizes” of any of these
I miserable <levie.es for getting money called
“ cliaritalile Rift entertainments,” and the like,
f is more than we can divine. We have, with
oilier journalists who have the welfare of the
community at heart so often exposed these
things, that if the public is not suflieiently
warned against them, we must despair of
I “ turning Kphraitn from his idols.” We receiv
ed letters from parties, in different towns ol
both L’onnsyivani i and Delaware yesterday, de
l siring to procure copies of the drawing of the
“ Grand Charitable Presentation Concert in Aid
, of the Southern Orphans’ Association,” to lake
' place in Baltimore on the 17tli of June—that
, is, yesterday. These parties each confess of
having purchased seven!l tickets in the aforesaid
scheme, and doubtless there are many thous
ands in tiie like category, far and near, and
especially in the South, the advertisements lew
' ing appeared in numerous papers in that quar
| ter, and circulars been freely sent opt, as there
is always by 1 Ijo “ professional” conductors of
such enterpriser., lint, we had no idea, that any
such drawing would take place as announced,
and certainly our reporters were notable to
discover or hear of any such violation of the
law actually in progress in this city, yesterday.
1 Our correspondents may be sure, however, that
should it, ever accidentally happen to come off,
“t he list of prizes” will not appear in the Sun.
This grand scheme embraces . r ..00,(<U0 tickets,
1 every one of which is to “ have something,”
1 and as it took four days to complete the draw
ing ol another delusive “cliaritalile” prcseufct
' lion affair in this city some time ago, which had
‘ only <IO,OOO tickets to draw, interested parties
1 may make the calculation us to how long it

“ A man named Ifancgan. for example, swears
that a member, named Cullen, told him lie had

witness, named Sears, swears that he received a
check for S'!,000, with instructions to deliver it
to a member named i’roetor if he voted for Nye;
but as be voted against him, it had not been’

City Council (so-called) Trials.—At a
recent meeting of a number of citizens ot Au
gusta styling themselves the Mayor aud Aider
men of the city of Augusta, two legally ap
pointed servants ol tiie city were put upon trial
for alleged misconduct in office.
One Joe Reynolds (shame to tiie sod, he is
an Irishman,) charged Mr. Peter Slieron, Super
intendent of- City Water Works, Pumps and
Wells, witli appropriating city property to his
own use, etc. Three or four negroes and one
or two white men were sworn on the part of
the prosecution, and the result was the entire
vindication of Mr. Bherou’s reputation as a
citizen and as an officer.
Mr. Tant, the Keeper of the City Hospital,
was not so fortunate, lie was charged with
malfeasance in office, in that lie made out a bill
against the city, which contained such items as
“ two bushels of meal, #3O 30 “ one |bottle
of wine, S4O 00.” This bill bore upon its face
the plainest evidences of unlettered errors, and
was so demonstrated recently in one of the
public prints by Mr. Estes, Chairman of the
Finance Committee, in answer to a dishonora
ble attempt on the part ol one signing himself
“ Tax Payer,” in a communication, in which
was paraded the above and similar items.
But Mr. Taut must he the scape-goat. He
had the mockery of a trial, the above mention
ed bill was put in evidence. The proof was
furnished that it was paid, that one hundred
and eighty dollars too much had been received
by some body. Mr. Crump, tiie Chairman of
tiie Hospital Committee, who signed: the ac
count “ correct,” was not summoned as a wit
ness ; Mr. Estes, of the Finance Committee,
who also signed the account, was not put upon
tiie stand. Mr. Taut, having been told by one
ol the so-called Aldermen that there not a
“ ghost of a chance ” for bis retention in office,
deemed it superfluous to engage counsel. The
result was, lie was dismissed from office, or
rather the body aforesaid voted to dismiss him
from office. It remains to he seen if Mr. Tant
will submit to the acts of this doubtful body.

The Ui.c’er Spreading.--Sereno-Howeism
is spreading in New England, and has even
reached the virtuous colored class who arc now
candidates for suffrage in Connecticut. Last
Thursday a negro was tried in N w Haven for
no less than fifteen cases of Howcism, eleven
ot his victims being boys, anil four more were
little girls. As lie was convicted in every case, he
was promptly sentenced to pay SIOO and to go
to jail six months for each offense. Had this
happened in Massachusetts these severe seip
fences would have been considered ;tq “ invidi
ous distinction on account ftf tolar,’* and the
criminal would have been advised to leave the
State between two lays, vitli the understanding
that he must never lie a member ol the Legisla
ture. The really singular feature, Uavyuver, iu
this negro’s ease is thy published fact, that five
years qgo lie was sentenced for the same offense
to thirteen years’ imprisonment. Last Septem
ber bo was released, and instead of going away
he seems to have remained aud immediately re
sumed liia old business. Massachusetts may

The Nation is ventilating some political opin
ions which, if not novel, are “as good as new,”
so long is it since they have ceased to pass cur
rent, and which are likely to affect its political
orthodoxy very seriously in tiie judgment of a
good many people. It declares its belief that
“no political opinions, however sound, can
make knaves and charlatans anything but a
curse to tiie community.” If that isn’t revolu
tionary, we should like to know what would
be? What does our Common Council think
about it? What lias Congressman Ashley to
say on tiie subject ? Is Gen. Butler indifferent

“ A Rebbo” 11 o.use. — The Danville Times
states that Dr. Leo, of Halifax, Vn., has a horse
which exhibits the greatest an d most astonish
ing aversion to blue colors. This horse served
in the army, and seems to have acquired hie
distaste for this color while in military isorvice,
as he showed no such disposition anterior to
the war. He will not allow any one to ap
proach him in a blue coat or jacket—gets frantic,
and wants to tear it off. On one occasion,
while crossing a ferry, a negro with a blue
jacket on, happened to get near him, and he
jumped at him with tiger-like ferocity, and
seizing the garment in Ids teeth, tore it clean
off. It is no less remarkable, that ho is as gen
tle as a lamb if you approach him ip grey or
any other color than blue.
A horse with ouch unkn montaing principles
and nnreconstructed proclivities, is a disloyal
horse, and deserves to be disfranchised ; but
don’t confiscate tho brute’s oats!
Tub Art of Breathing,—The difference in
the exhaustion ot strength by a long walk with
tiie mouth firmly closed, and respiration carried
on through the nostrils instead of through the
mouth, is inconceivable to those who have
never tried the experiment. Indeed, this mis
chievous and really unnatural habit oi carrying
on Uie work of inspiration and expiruß.ou
through tiie mouth, instead of throi’H, the
nasal passages, is the tine origin o r al! the dis

MORE TESTIMONY IN FAVOR OF
Dr. Heinit.sh’s
QUEEN’S DELIGHT!
Extracts FROM LETTERS: “TheQueen’a
Delight is beginning to awaken the attention ol our
physicians. Its remarkable curative power is seen in
its wonderful offect upon disease. As a blood purifier,
there is no medicine like it known to the profession!
A gentleman told me that his son lias Itcen taking the
Queen’s Delight, and is more benefitted by it than by
any other medicine. Ho wants a dozen bottles.”
Extract front a letter: “It is due to you to state, in
this public manner, In order that the peop e may know
tho truth, that I have tried your Queen’s Delight, anti
found It not only what you said it was—‘a pure medi
cine* but the best medicine I have ever taken for
eruptions and general had health. I had an eruption
all over my body, witli Impaired digestion and diner
dered liver, and have tried a great many medicines,
without any benefit. I have taken one bottle of your
Queen's Delight, the eruption has disappeared, my
appeti o is better, my liver and digestion is improved,
f am satisfied one or two more bottles will cure me.”
Extract from a letter: “At tho close of the war my
constitution was shattered. I could not eat, sleep oir
perform any duty whatever, such was my prostrate
condition. Medicine and medical aid I had in abund
ance-such was my condition up to a few months since
when I began the use of your Queen’s Delight. I have
used two bottles, my constitution is greatly improved
my uppetite is good, enjoy refreshing sleep, and ant
able to perform my share of daily labor.”
Extract from a letter-wonderful effect of only one
bottle: “I have used on'y a half bottle of ‘Queen’s
Delight’ for boils and eruptions of the skin and itcli
lng humors of the blood, which annoyed me wry
much. lam entirely cured. 1 think your medicine a
valuable one.”
A remarkable case of liver complaint and headache
cured by tho use of “Heinitsli’s Queen’s Delight ” A
lady of unquestioned worth and reputation voiunlaiilv
gives testimony of the wonderful effects of this nil .di
cine. She has been from early yea-s a martyr t,» hcadK
aches, caused by Imperfect action of the liver, )m „i U(V
ing intense hoaduclio and pain over (lie eyes. fc|,e *
taken only four bottles, and assures us of U,J P ' rfecL
cure It has made. Sho now enjoys good, health
Btill another: “During last Spving j' .
troubled with obstinate chills and fever, which when
cured, left my system in a wrcVehed condition- blood
impure, and I was afflicted will, an angry and as I at
one time thought, an incurable cutaneous eruption
over my entire body. TW most violent remedies sug
gested failed to work a cure, ant'd, at the inalai.ee of a
triend, I tried Dr. Heinluh’s Queen’s Delight. Less ~
than two bottles coved me, ler.ving my skin
condition. My general health is as good as ever. For
such purposes I have, ever since my cure, unhesita
tingly recommended your Queen’s Delight.”
Don’t buy a,, y but the right kind. All genuine
Queen s Delight hue the copy-right mark on I lie out
side, and It Is the only n;,edlcino which produces these
wonderful cures.
