GIVE THE DEVIL HIS DUE.-There is a
point in the following anecdote: A pas
tor was making Call upon an old lady,
who made it a habitual rule never to speak
Ill OF another, and had observed it so close
~, that she always justified those whom
she had heard evil spoken Of Before the
old lady made her appearance in the par
lor, her several children were speaking Of
this popularity of the mother, and one OF
them play fully added: "Mother has such
habit of speaking well of every body, that
believe if Sa an himself were the subject
of conversation, mother would ind out
some virtue or good quality even in him"
OF course this remark ELECTED some smiling
and merriment at the originality of the
idea, in the midst of which the old lady
entered the room, and on being told what
had just been said, she Immediately and
inyoluntarily replied: swell, my child
rem, wish we all had Satan's industry
and perseverance"

WHAT FRENCH CRITIC SAYS OF PATTI.
Hector Berlioz, in the Revue Musicale,
advises those who wish to see "gentleness
united with nai0ete, Hebe in person, the
goddess OF youth who has Quilted the gods
to visit u.s.. to go the Italian opera where
Patty sings. Bsriioz is usually severe
critic, but seems to be quite fascinated by
the little New York girl.

The LOUISIANA ELECTION OF FEDERAL
CoNGREssMEN.-The election in New Or
leans for two members of Congress to
represent the districts embracing that city,
took place on the Sd inst. There were
plenty of candidates in the field. The
names of the successful ones were Mr..
Benjamin T. Flanders, chosen for the First,
and Mr.. NJ. Hahn for the Second District
They are both strong, unconditional Union
lists. The Delta says that Mr.. Flanders is
a native OF New Hampshire, but has re-
sided in New Orleans for thirty years.
He was among the first to welcome Gen.
Butler upon Lis arrival in May last, and is
for the Union at any cost. His chief OPP
ponent was Mr.. Bouligny, the staunch
Unionist from the same District in the last
Congress, who received, however, only
1876 votes, against 2, lS4 for Mr. Flanders.
The other successful candidate, Mr.. Hahr,
is lawyer by profession, of German de-
scent, who Las lived 10 New Orleans since
boyhood, and was stout Unionist through
the darkest hours of secession madness
His chief opponent (though not the one
who got the most votes) was the old
antediluvisn, Jacob Barker, who made
very great efforts to secure an election.
but was woefully beaten.

rect,on, he is exercising constitutional.
and | will say further, legal power; be-
cause whensin state of war he is clothed
with the authority to exercise the laws of
war in this country.
But, Mr.. President, toe point which /
made, and the only point which intended
in the beginning TO make, was to reply to
this charge of oppression on the part of
the Government. Even if technically the
rules of civil rights might be invaded, /
have been informed, and believe that in
formation is correct, that the prison door
has been open to all these persons who
have been arrested upon suspicion-sus-
picion that they were 10 sympathy with
treason, that they were furnishing means
to traitors, or that they were about to join
the traitors-if they would but swear to
be loyal to the Government Of the United
States; and it is no oppression upon 10y
al man to take the oath of allegiance |
say to the Senator from Kentucky that
this war is pressing upon US IN manner
| which is serious aud in earnest. II is q
struggle for our rational existence, q
struggle for our life {: and it is time when
we must cease all hifiipg and all mere
technicalities. Sir, our friends have gone
into this war and been sacrificed by thous-
ands upon thousands. Some have fallen
in battle; some have fallen in hospitals
and by disease some have sickehed and
come home to die. We know all these
things, and have been made to feel them.
We have looked upon the graves of our
friends, upon tie graves of our children !;
and, sir, in all the earnestness that the hu-
man heart can have, we are determined,
come what will of suffering, of sacrifice,
life or death, we will crush this rebellion
and ali its aiders and abettors. In spite of
treason at home, treason in the slave
States CIR treason in the free States; in
spite of all intervention, threatened, oct
ual, or real, let it come from what source
it may, this Government shall live and not
die.

A French Opinion-What Foreign In
tervention May DO.
From the Paris Journal des Debats. !

We shall not raise any questions here
of morality or justice; we shall not ask
those OF our brethren in the press who are
daily clamoring tor a European crusade
against the American Union, what the
Union has done to France, what wrong it
has perpetrated against Us, what right d.
vine or human, it has violated in obeying
that instinct of self-preservation which is
common to states as to men, and ia max
ing desperate effort to resist dismember-
the world. Nor shall We pause to remark
that the Union is no more bound before
God and man to furnish Us with cotton
than France, torn asunder by revelation
and civil war, was bound in 1892 to fur
nish Europe with its ordinary contingent
of wines and silks; and that to give cur
rency to such motives for war is to accus-
tom man to take the life of his fellow
creature without being able to allege a de-
cent pretext for the deed. We snail say
nothing of slavery, nor Of the banner of
France, which shielded the cradle OF that
republic. We know that such arguments
are unreasonable now; that it is tashiona
bic to day to smile at them, and that the
charms Of bad cause now exercise, upon
great number of our contemporaries, the
same mighty influence which the words of
liberty and justice possessed over the
hearts Of our fathers.
Let Us drop all arguments fit only to be
addressed to the soul, and deal with ma
terial interest alone, that unchallenged
sovereign of the actual world we live ill.,
Why does England hesitate to act-Eng-
1ap vol 10 ipto han
other State in the destruction of the Amer
lean Republic? Every morning
in the land of Wherefore the voice of a
hundred journals is raised to heaven i'm
ploring the divine benediction upon the
arms of the shareholders. The slavehold-
ing journals of Paris may DO their worst,
they will never be as English On the Amer
lean questions SIS their London cotempora-
ries. But the passions of England are al
ways tempered by prudence: and if on the
other side of the channel the patriotic
wish that the Union may be whipped is
universal, the idea of meddling in the
strife : is very far from : being popular.
Perhaps the touch Of the foreign foot
upon american sell mag after all be need
ed to rouse the whole natioa to one man,
and bring the real peril Of the state before
all eyes, Perhaps the foreign fig must
float at New Orleans beside the banner of
slavery before the farmer of the West can
fully feel that the mouths of the great Mis-
sissippi really make part of his splendid
