The Husband Hunter.

Always busy, ever thronged, money loving
Third street has recently had another char.
acter added to its countless throng. The
character is in the shape of German woman
about forty years OF age with sharp but
pleasant countenance, auburn hair and hazel
eyes. She is uniformaily dressed I'M black,
relieved only by huge white frill inside of
her plain hat Her appearance is by no
means attractive, nor is in any way repulsive.
She is invariably in good humor, and is new
er Addressed, nor ever speaks, but her face is
wreathed in smiles. She appears to be
woman of ordinary education and very amia-
BILE temper. She appears on Third street
every day, regularly, long before business
hours, and remains there generally between
N.jp I'D Vine streets, until the huge vaults
OF the banks, are lockedup and the bankers
are enjoying their wine and gouty dinners,
and the newsboy is singing his expiring notes
over the Reg lar Dishun."
During all the long hours Of each day and
day after day, and week after week, this Lady
in Black" pursues her one and sole purpose
undeviatingly, and without fear or favor
That purpose is to get husband. If you ap.
proach her she will receive you with a smile
and ask you promptly;
'Do you want to get marriedY'
The answer will naturally be the Yankee
one-"WhyY
The good woman will twist her handker-
chief around her fingers, and smiling more
broadly Immediately answer
| II want husband"
If you press inquiries you delight her, and
she will converse freely on the happiness Of
domestic life, and the necessity of all people
being welded If you bluff her you do moi

Something for the Politicians to
Think of.

The elections are approaching. The people
will soon have to pass upon the conduct of their
representatives in Congress. The anti slavery
cry is not so potent as il was. Its repetition ac-
tually serves to increase the numbers of those
who care nothing for parties, yet care everything
for the Union.
We do not believe that one half the Republi-
cans in the present House of Representatives who
have exhibited an unremittng determination to
make this war a war for the abolition of slavery
and nothing else, will be re elected. Their places
will be filled by conservative men; indeed it is
more than probable that majority of the next
House will be Democratic
We speak these things because we are indie
pendent observers of events. We speak of facts,
caring nothing which party NAV be injur-
ed benefited by them. The insane and
erlasting cry of slavery has driven thousands of
Republicans into that conservatism which, if the
choice comes between a wild man on the subject
of emancipation, and a Democrat, will make
them prefer the latter. The election in this State
on the l7th of June will probably open the eyes
of some of our politicians to the fact that the
people tired of the negro. Whatever may
be the fate of the new Constitution, the clause
prohibiting negro immigration will be adopted by
a vote so decisive that it will leave no doubt as
to the feelings of the people. Is it not useless,
therefore, to preach about emancipation to men
who will not permit the emancipated negro to re
side in this State? Il it not ridiculous to ask men
to get excited over the suppression Of negro
schools in North Carolina, when the negro is
kicked out of every public school in Illinois, with
the exception of the schools in this city?-Chicd

A Sensible Tax.

The Senate yesterday voted TO include cotton
in the list Of articles to BE taxed, and fixed the
rate at one half cent per pound. This right
eous tax The silly talk of the New England
manufacturers that the agricultural interests paid
but a small proportion of the tax was unworthy
of the Senate The fact is, this war has been
godsend to the people of New England. Protect
ed by an outrageous tariff from all foreign com
petition, they have had rich harvest since the
war commenced. There is not manufacturing
company in New England that will not realize
from ten TO thirty per cent on its capital for the
year ending the first of June This is not confined
to AIRY one branch of industry but includes all
branches of manufacture In the sale of cotton
fabrics they have now a monopoly, and for twenty
years there has not been 81 CT an amount of work
done as has been done during the year just closed
The advantages reaped by New England from the
war are not confined to the mere profits in dol
lars and cents upon the supplies it has sold,
but it has enjoyed the more than equal advantage
of having had full employment in its factories
for all its population. New England with her
factories closed, and New England with her fac
tories in operation, even if not making profits,
are very different 1t is hard to impeach the pa
triOtism or loyalty of any people, but Judging of
the present by the past, it may not be extrava-
giant to suppose that in case this war had had the
effect of closing all the factories and stopping all
the mills in New England, there would come up
a cry from that section in favoT of peace
The tax of one half cent. per pound will realize
possibly about twelve millions of dollars. The
tax in our opinion, should have been one cent
per pound. 1t would have been no more than a
just contribution by those who have reaped a
golden harvest from the war which has distressed
ami oppressed the agricultural popuatlon.-Chi-

~. He soon came upon the rear of the enemy
about six miles southwest Of Corinth and en-
gagged them. Ia the fight he lost some fifty men
from the 7th Illi1sis. Having been largely re-
inforced, some accounts say by sixteen regiments
Of cavalry, the rebels we're surrounded and forced
to surrender. 1t is said from 5000 to 10000
prisoners we're taken. A portion of these have
reached Pittsburg Landing en- route for the North
ern military prisons. The whole force of Gen.
PORE has advanced some distance to the south
west of Corinth
The latest accounts from Fort Pillow, up to
Tuesday night, the 80 inst, indicate the evacua-
ton of that point by the rebel troops. A de-
serter states that the enemy commenced evacua-
ting on ON the morning of that day, and that at
night only three companies of heavy artillery
remained The destination of the troops is stated
to be Memphis.
An officer of the army, just returned from
Corintb, states that the army of HALLEcK cannot
remain at COrinth unless new sources for supply
ing the army are opened. This fact makes the
occupation OF Memphis a military necessity. The
Mississippi must also be opened to that point as
furnishing the only practicable avenue for the
transportation of our army supplies. To the ac-
complishment of this object the attention of
HALLEcK is now undoubtedly directed, and we
may hear in few days of the fall of Memphis
The sending back of the prisoners by the reb-
els on parole on account of the scarcity of pro-
visions furnishes some clue to the recent move
ments of BEAUREGARD. For the lack of supplies
he was undoubtedly compelled to fall back, in
connection with the overwhelming force that OPP
posed him. The opening of the Mississippi com
plete by our Aotilla can not long be delayed
This accomplished the area of the rebellion will
be rapidly circumscrbed.

The Indiana frauds.

The pear is not yet ripe, and very much that
will inteseSt and instruct the public with regard to
the recent fraudulent issue of bonds purportng to
be those of the State of Indiana, must await the
operations of justice But though some truth
must be for the present withheld 1t does not fol-
low that wholesale and libelOus falsehoOd must
be endured in silence The following paragraph
appears editorial in yesterdays Herald:
1t further appears that the State officials of In
diana were here about six months since, or at
least long ago last January, and were at
that time cOgnizant of the fact that there was
large irregular issue; and after consulting with
the State agent legal officials and parties in Wall
street, pledged themselves to keep it State Sc
cret, on the ground that an exposure at that time
would injure the credit of the Stote and prevent
their negotiating the six per cent war loan then
on the market. In this manner they succeeded
in covering it up and keeping the fraud from the
public until Il few days SINCE and are thereby
guilty, under the laws of this State of com
pounding the felony and punishable by imprison-
ment."
This is the reverse of truth. Gov. Morton,
who acts for his State, was here in February last
Oh this business, having Just been apprised of the
existence of the fraud. Neither then nor ever did
he give any pledge to keep it State secret"
nor anything of the sort. On the contrary, he
gave formal notice of it at once to = Oakley Hall,
District Attorney, and to Daniel s. Dickinson.
Attorney General, without the least lntimation
that he pledged to secresy or desired any to
be observed. Mr. Dickinson did not act in the
Dremises-it was not his business to do sO-it was
Mr.. Halls, and he took charge of it, Whatever
secresy he fit observe enjoin die
tated by his own view of what was required by the
ends of Justice and was nowise required nor sug-
gested by Coy. Morton.-N. Y. Tribune.

Not only were the Indiana State officials cog
infant in January last of the fact that irregular
and fraudulent issues of bonds had been made,
but we are informed that one of the officials Of
the State knew it more than year ago, yet
took no steps 10 arrest it, but with full knowl-
edge of the fact permitted the fraudulent bonds TO
be thrown upon the market in Wall street.. The
effort of the Tribune to throw the responsibility
of covering the affair up upon the shoulders of
Mr. Hall is therefore only the more mean and
cowardly. This, however. with the defense of
the Indiana State officials, is no more than might
have been expected from that source. Greeley
end The Tribune have so long been mixed up in
such jobs free wool. improvement companies,
elections of Speakers, Government contracts and
other jobs in Washington, that it is perfectly nat
ural that they should come to the defense of Off
Gals who are originally guilty of countenancing
a fraud upon the public, and who, having full
knowledge Of the facts took no steps to arrest it,
Sympathy and fellow feeling no doubt, prompted
the Tribune to defend those officials.
1t is high time that the necessary steps were
taken to deal out to the negligent ana guilty In
diana officials the punishment that their course
Justly merits 1t is said that one of the parties
connected with the affair has already left the
State, and unless immediate steps are taken the
others will follow and elude punishment. When
ever a fraud is committed in England the party

and made an example of as warning to all
Others. But here the guilty parties are permit
ted to escape, and Others Immediately follow in
their footsteps Thus a few years since the
Schuyler frauds came out, and, through the
tardy movements of those whose duty it was to
execute the laws, Schuyler left the country and
escaped the punishment that he merited. little
later came the frauds in connection with the
Ohio Life and Trust Company. No efforts were
made to arrest the person responsible for those
frauds until he had eluded prosecution by sailing
for Europe; and he is now reported IN Paris, liv
ing in fine style. From all appearances the In
diana State bonds affair will end in about the
same way, and no person be brought to punish
ment warning to coming generations. 1t is
time in justice to ourselves as a nation, in JUS
tice TO the thousands who are defrauded by these
transactions, that example should be made of
these men, that all officials may hereafter know
the fate that awaits them for betraying trusts
and neglecting their duties.

The yankee scheme of EXterm ma Z ON

The following is an extract from letter of a
Yankee merchant in New Orleans, who has grown
rich by his forty years traffic among the people
there. For cold blooded atrocity it is hard to
equal it; but we can tell the miserable fellows
who plot this mischief, that the brave men who
are fighting in the field only for the Union as it
was. will never make this such a war of extermI-
nation We can tell them also that the Democ-
racy of the North will never consent to the sub
version of liberty by keeping a standing army of
million of men at the South for the con-
venience of Yankee pedlers and preachers. The
letter from which quote is inserted, approving
ly, by the Commercial Advertiser of this city.
The letter SAYS:
at is useless to expect anything like a safe
business, or personal safety, in any part OF the
slave States. unless the whole country is held by
military occupancy and military power. One
third of our population must be expelled from the
country, and their places supplied by Northern
colonists () 1t will take years to conquer the des-
pots, and overthrow finally the social tyranny
which has ruled absolutely wherevery slavery
exists | have lived here forty years. | know
almost every one, and something Of everything
that is going on. | repeat,
there must be a strict military occupany OF this
whole country for years; the population must be
changed, and slavery be abolished before peace
and safety can be established in any part Of this
country"

Another Rebellion.

The Louisville Democrat, IN discussing the
present aspect of public affairs. remarks:
Men mistake devotion to party for patriotism,
and the love of power for a love of the Union.
This Republican party APPEAR united for the
Union, Constitution and the enforcement OF the
laws. The reason is not that they feel any de-
vOtOn to the Union, any patriotic devotion to
the supremacy of the Government in its sphere;
but because this rebellion is against the Govern
ment administered by them. 1t is a burning in
dignity offered TO their party pride They can
claim little credit for supporting an Administra-
ton they put in power, whose hOnors and emolu
ments they enjoy.
A faction in the United States assume to man
age what belongs to the whole, and treat with
contempt the interests and wishes of communi-
ty they legislate for.
1t is the end and object of this faction tc exer-
else their briet power as to change the condi
tons of the Union, and compel Union they and
their party can manage.
In reply to the inquiry "what you going to
do about it?" the Democrat proposes to ''resst by
all lawful and constitutional MEANS" And it
adds:
This rebellion we shall engage in will succeed.
The ballot box is the place fight for political
rights, ana lne WnOle people the JUDGES. NO
body was ever oppressed whilst the ballot box
was depended on; nor will it fail in the States
still loyal.
Kentucky is for the Union. and for putting
down this armed rebellion. She has no party in
terest to subserve. 1t is not her Administration;
but one odious to her people. Regardless of
party ties and sectional ties, she has unsheathed
the sword for the Union, the Constitution and
the enforcement OF the laws. Are not the mass
of this Union with Kentucky in this? We be-
lieve they are, and that their verdict against all
factions and sectional action is certain to be rem
dered in time

The Eastern Manufacturers i'm Favor
OF burning Cotton.

In converse ton with some of our large New
England manufacturers, We learn that India cot
ton is getting much in favor with them, and some
of them have sent large orders out for this cotton,
prelerring it at the present prices to American.
They regard it more favorably than the English
spinners, since Ihey have had experience in work
ing it, As to the burning Of the cotton at the
South our manufacturers consider it will operate
benefcially to them if one-h half of the crop is
burned. The stocks of goods are so large that
there is no doubt of an ample supply of cotton to
meet the consumption for many months to come.
and the manufacturers will be benefited rather
than injured by having tn, staple come forward
for the remainder of the year slowly and at high
prices. Some of our shrewdest and largest man
acturers are well convinced of this, and as far as
their interest is concerned, would not be sorry to
see two million bales destroyed in the planting
gion during the coming summer. The consump-
ton and the production of goods are both ex-
pected to be very light for several months.-Bos-
ton TrapeLler.
