Republican Quibble.

Not one in ten of those Abolition-Re-
publican Members Of Congress who
signed the recommendation Of Helpers
Impending Crisis" dares now stand
az to the work, and advocate its sugges-
tons. The most miserable spectacle
that was ever exhibited in dclbcrative
assembly is now "on show" in the
House Of Representatives at Washing
ton. Afraid to meet the charge made
by the Democratic side of the House,
" that the Republican candidate for
Speaker, Mr.. Sherman, did recommend
Helpers Infamous work." the Republi-
can members, and Sherman himself, are
endeavoriDg to eyade the responsibility,
by excuses the most silly and himsy.-
Sherman's evasion is the most ridiculous
Que that could be imagined. In the first
D ace he does not know whether he
signed it or not, but if his name is there
he supposes he did sign it. Then, if lie
did put his name there, che went it
blind, and did not know what the book
contained. The following annecdote,
which we clip from an exchange, repre-
sents Sherman's six" most wildly:
The Columbus (Ohio) journal thus
reports row in that city
A large African, whose back might
answer for black board in public
school, was arrested, and a boulder,
weighing about four pounds, was found
under his shirt bosom. On being ques-
toned as to how it came into bis posses
ion, he exclaimed, with look Of blank
astonishmcnt, "Dat's just what I'd like
to know, how that internal rock got into
nv bLzzum. spect some Niger must
have trowed it dar."
The poor negro gives about as pausi
bic a reason for the locus of the brick
as Sherman does for that of his name

II seems that one common pursuit Of some foreign
ers after coming TO this country isto find fault with
and abuse, everything here, and to institute COM
parsons, utterly to our disparagement with their
country and what they have. We like to see every
man possessed Of love of his own country we
like to see him uphold and defend his country's in
sttuiions IL they are at all defensbe but to hear
them INDUCING in wholesale abuse of everything
they here, and constantly prating of the superb
GRITTY Of all things in their own country, is evil
dence, we think. only Of their own ignorance and
ill-breedihg. Thousands of such individuals come
here. and enjoy privileges and advantages thatthcy
have never before known in their life, and occupy
positions that they never before held, and yet
to think that denuncaton and abuse Of MS is the
only return they must make. Most Of them, too,
como here to make living, or to accumulate money
for if they rich at home. and above any henifts
we can offer them, it is passing strange that they
voluntarily submit to the horrors of life in such an
abominab|e country as this. The United States
very well spare all such intensely patriotic fur-
riners," and would he heartily glad if they would
all stay in their country, which they affect to
love so WELL

It's Capt. VIM. Boyd well known river
as master Of the steamer Ndshvlie, has, during the
past summer had a new boat built, at New Albany,
for the Nashville and New Orleans trade. The new
boat is called James Woods in honor Of an old and
worthy merchant of Nashville and is said to be a
fine specimen of steamboat architecture. She will
have unusual capacity for freight, and good accom-
modations for passengers. She is now nearly COM
pleted and will, we suppose be ready for business

Miss ST. CLAIR on the occasion of her visit here last
season, played good long engagement, and became

Many indeed prefer her acting TO that OF Miss Eliza

While we cannot subscribe to such an award Of
praise this we yet bear cordial and willing esti-
mony to Miss SALES elegant and very correct

say it is in her keeping up too uniformly those
efforts at the thrilling and sensational which proper

and the right time are simply ridiculous, when out

fault with Miss ST. CLAIR but one into which she
occasionally falls.

hers has been. and will stop.
Since Miss SALLIEs last visit here she has Played
in most ofthe larger cities of the United States and
has passed the ordeal of metropolitan criticism with
great credit During the time too she has evidently
improved, in all respects. That's she is an actress
