In Huturduy morning's issue of our
eotempornry, ami again in yesterday
morning's Weekly, “a mcti'be” is
drawn with great elaboration and
much minuteness of detail. The les
son from life that breathes and glows
upon tho canvas, is the poverty and
thriftlessncsa of the South. Though
the artisl shows some skill and orig
inality of design—though his figures
stand out, almost as in bas-relief, yet
must we say the "picture” lias defects
apparent to the most superficial eye.
It has none of wtiat is known to the
profession as back-ground or perspec
tive. The irrtixt should at, least have
given us a chart, with numbers and
references, to explain Ida picjtkk. He '
should have told us why the merchant
complains of dullness— why the street
cow lifts her “razor-like back,” the
cnr is lean and hungry, the mule,
“sore-backed and spiritless.” For
fear the artist might die with his “pic
ture” In its present unfinished state,
and ore "our civilization" shall decay
until “there is no health in us” for
fear the world may mourn for the
completion of “the picture”-and in
order that it may not stand forth cut
off, unfinished, like Dickens’ “Mys
tery of Edwin Drood” we will take
in hand the brush and pencil, and
with the best intentions, assay to
finish tlie work, though we desecrate
the genius of the master.
Once upon a time scarce fourteen
v&ntH ago -the scones would have
been vastly different to our artist’s
eye. The merchants’ shelves were
often filled, and ns often emptied to
a bdsy population,Whdso great thrift
authorized their many wants, and
whose proverbial liberality supplied
them. Bteods, richly caparisoned,
sleek and spirited—almost disdaining
the very ground on which they trode
thronged our busy streets. The
well-fed mule hung not his head or
tail, bat loudly brayed in the exuber
ance of his keeping. The cow— with
straight and almost cushioned back
browsed upon her owner's peas and
pasture, until, tilled to surfeiting, she J
panted in tho shade und “chewed the
cud” of satisfaction. The grunting j
porker pulled ids oily carcass along'
the street and highway in no wise a
temptation to tiio “woolly head,” who
drew his four pounds, weekly, from
the packings of his master’s smoke
house. Money was so plentiful, that
it was ofteu let out into trusty hands
at less than the legal rate. Peace
and prosperity reigned throughout
tho land ; and tho State of Georgia,
will; a taxable return of nearly seven
hundred millions, was doubly richor
in prdportlon to her voting numbers
than the State of Pennsylvania.
These people could not live in |
harmony with the countrymen of tiio
artist, “Our civilizations” were differ
ent., und wo thought our governments
should be likewise. Wo thought we
had a right to quit them ; and though
in good faith submitting to superior
power, wo think so still. Put u great
multitude came (tho artist among
them) with sabres, and guns, and
cannon, and "horsomen and chariots
of wur.” Tho trade of our merchants
was destroyed, our cities sucked, our
factories and machine shops razed to
the ground, our cotton burned in town
and country or shipped to Northern
ports. Age was insulted, virtue dis
honored, valor overwhelmed, and the
Hag of a wronged arid outraged
people fell. By a stroke of tho pen,
backed by tho brutal bayonet, three
thoueaiul million dollars’ worth of
property in slaves was destroyed,
they were turned loose upon the
whites, like frogs Into the houses and
upon the beds and into the ‘kneading
troughs” of tho Egyptians. The
whites could no longer keep sleek
horses, soft-lmired cattle, fat hogs,
or cribs and granaries groaning with
tho unlmported products of the soil;
but, dismayed by theft and pillage,
they were forced to produce cotton,
which the negro could not eat up,
like as he was wont prematurely to
harvest the uuripeued ears anil to
level in fresh pork before the earliest
frosts of autumn.
With a labor constantly diminish
ing, and not *o lx: “directed” nt all;
unablo or unwilling to distinguish
between the privileges of citizenship
and a right to steal ; the whites
compelled, through self-defence, to
attempt tho successful growth of an
almost single produet-the merchant
can scarcely do otherwise, on a rainy
<lau, than to complain of commercial
llatness. Tho “razor-backed” cow
must remain unfed, oven on “impor
ted hay,” when her owner is scarcely
able to feed himself. The lean and
hungry cur must look him up an
uncertain living; and the sore-backed
unde, clad in such humble and
extemporizod accoutrements, wo fear
must ever remain a “distinctive
feature” of a "civilization” not
"ours,” indeed-but forced upon us
by a heartless, cruel assassination of
the dignity and superiority of Cauca
sian blood.
The story is fairly told; *'thi: rie
tOre” is eomploto in all its parts.
As a matter of experiment, Dr. J.
K. Barnum, of Lumpkin, has put
threo thousand pounds of guano to
an acre. The agent of tho guano de
sired it done, in order to arrive nt the
amount it would produce. We know
somo kind of guano that.a man could
use three ttifth to the acre, and not
hurt the ground, or help the plant.

According to the Washington cor
respondent of tho Italtimore Ameri
can, Senator Andrew Johnson had a
speech prepared in opposition to the
admission of Pinchbaek as a Senator
j from Louisiana which was not dollv-
I erod, on account of the unexpected
I postponement of the further oonsid
t eration of the resolution till next De
, oem her. The distinguishing feature
j of this speech, would have been the
ground Mr. Johnson contemplated to
assume. Ho did not propose to enter
into the merits or demerits of the
ease, but would have opposed Finch
back’s admission on tho ground that
tie had not been a citizen of the j
United States nine years, as required j
by the Constitution that all members
of the Senate shall lie, before being!
eligible to n seat. He would have
held ttiat colored men did not become
citizens until tho ratification and
adoption of the Fourteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution, and such
ratification being within that period
of nine years, Pinchbaek was barred
from taking his seat by this constitu
tional Ineligibility.
Tiukd of tuf. Nation's Warm.—A
straight-out Republican paper of the
North protests against making a buz
zard-roost of the Capitol building
at Washington. The editor says:
“Strangers are amazed to see the
use to which tho galleries in the Cup
itol are put by the lazy, vermin
covered, drunken negroes. These;
wretched beings make u lounging
place of tho Senate Chamber and the
House of Representatives, and come
in out of tho streets to sleep in the
galleries. It is all very well to main
tain the rule that the people shall bo
aide to hear their representatives de
bate, but it is a little too much to
have the Capitol turned into a free
lodging-house for paupers. There
ought at least to boa rule forbidding
persons who are either drunk or re
pulsively dirty to enter the galleries. j
If this were done, decent people!
could frequent tlie galleries without!
the danger of having to-sit next to!
some filthy drunkard.”
This is all very proper and sensible.
But is it not downright treason
against civil rights to insinuate that
tho lazaroni of Washington shall bo
denied tho privilege of roosting in the
galleries of the Capitol?
Col. Ei.li, of Galesburg, 111., broth
er-in-law of Miss Sallie Lovejoy, (the
lady whom Beecher’s lawyers at
tempted to implieute in crime with
Tilton at the hotel in Winstead, Con
neetleut.) Ims been East and collect
ed a mass of testimony to show that
the inuendoes against his kins-wo
man’s character are cruelly baseless,
and intends to institute suit for mali
cious libel on her behalf after the!
cut rent trial is ended. Papers, it is ;
said, will be served on Beecher's law- i
yors at the earliest opportunity. ■
Miss Ijovojoy is a daughter of the no- '
torious abolitionist, Owen Lovejoy, of \
Illinois, and the neico of another
! Lovejoy who was hung, we believe,
j for attempting to get up an insarreo- 1
tlon in the South.
The Senatorial excursion to Mexico
continues to attract attention. Vice
President Wilson and Senators Cam
eron, Morton, Anthony, Chandler,
Morrill, of Maine, Hansom, Gordon,
Dennis, Allison und Clayton, have al
ready, it is said, “secured berths.” A
small army of Pennsylvania railway
officials and their friends are also go
ing. Tho Nashville Union and Amer
ican rather unkindly says; “There is
no prodieting tho result of the foray.
The map of North America may be
reconstructed and Mexico wholly or
partially wiped out. by an easy going
war, with plenty of stealages, which
is the last trump left a desperate par
ty with a military President.”
A certain Justice Stemmier, of New
York, was to the Governor reported,
dead, upon which the Governor im
mediately appointed ills successor.
Justice Stemmier not being dead at
all, made great efforts to persuade
Gov. Tilden of that fact, but the Gov
ernor, having signed tho commission
of fStemmter’s successor, insisted that
Stemmier was legally defunct in the
eye of the law, if not in the eye of the
fact. And Justice Stemmier is walk
ing about in a daze, with a liig olub,
looking anxiously for tho man who
informed the Governor that he
had departed for another and better
world.
Of two members of a well-known
Boston firm, one of whom possesses
tho larger capital and the other the
larger business influence, the latter :
became dissatisfied, the other day, I
and advertised anonymously for a
partner with $50,090 capital. One re- {
ply was received to the advertise
ment, and a correspondence) ensued. '
At last the parties met, and—the I
man who answered tho advertisement
proved to be the advertiser’s partner.
We can conceive of no possible rea
son why Sohenck should wish to be
recalled from his mission, unless he j
desires to get out a now and improv

as “Sohenck on Poker.” It will prob
