We shall condemn them at all times and
under all circumstances, whether made by
members of our own party or others. We
cannot be just to our readers nor to ourselves
as a public journalist, without protesting
against one Of the concluding acts of the late
Congress, viz: voting themselves an extra
and third mileage The law allows each men,
ber of Congress $4,000 per year, and the
enormous mileage of forty cents mile each
way. This sum is too great, although we
might|not notice it in times Of peace and
prosperity. The late Congress has held two
regular and one extra session. The law just
ly construed allows no mileage for the extra
session; but honorable gentlemen set it aside
and take in the aggregate from the National
Treasury $4,000.
The men who would thus fitch from the
Treasury now tottering for support, are guilty
of moral treason, and should be Marked
Let the people remember them. To this end
we publish the vote of the Senate on mo-
ton to strike out this extra mileage:
For striking out: Messrs. Clark of N. H.,
Dixon Of Conn.,, Fesscnden of Maine, Foot Of
VT, Foster of Conn.,, Grimes and Harlan Of
Iowa, Howe of Wis, King of N. Y, Lane Of
Ind, Morrill, of Maine, Sherman of Ohio, Sum-
ner of Mass, Ten Eyck of N. j., Wade Of
Ohio, Wiley of Va, Wilson of Mass.-17.
AGAINST striking out: Messrs. Arnold Of
R. I Carlile of Va, Cowan of Pa, G.. Davis
- -
Henderson of Mo-, Hicks of Md, Howard Of
Mich, Lane of Kansas, Latham of CAL, Mes.
mith of Oregon, Pomeroy of Kansas, Powell
of KY. Rice of Mimi, Richardson and Trum-
bull Of ILL.,, Wall of NJ, Wilkinson of Minn.,
Wilson of Mo.-20.
Our readers will notice that every Senator
voting against filching is supporting friend
of the administration. We are especially
grati6ed to find the names of Iowa's honored
Senators recorded against this disgraceful
grab game. All honor to Senators Grimes
and Harlan. ......--

The Great somersnult.

| As an immediate and wholesome result of
the closing acts of the Congress just adjourn
ed, we find the leaders of the Democracy in
the East, and especially New York city, COM
ing around beautifully and ardently to the
support of the Administration and in favor
Of vigorous prosecution of the war. This
is indeed an encouraging omen, and the more
SO from the fact that it is, as we are charita-
bly, disposed to believe, the result of sincere
conviction and genuine conversion. Probably
the most efectual agency in this good work
has been the act which confers the full
strength of the war power on the President
an act that virtually suspends tough rope
and an open moose over the head OF every
self.convicted traitor throughout the North
but so great transformation is not to be at
tributed wholly to single cause. We see in
this an acknowledgment before the world on
the part of the more respectable and in6uen-
tial peace agitators that the secret overtures
which have been made to the rebels at Rich
mond, and the secret embassies which have
been closeted with the rebel cabinet, have met
with no manner of success, and that the pro-
ject of purchasing or coaxing peace, short
of the sacrifice of every sentiment of decency
and manhood-not to say anything of patriot
ism-has proved utterly futile, and forced the
dire alternative upon them of raising the
damnable cry of Hold nough'-confess-
ing that few hundred thousand audacious
and imperious slave drivers have whipped
into subsection some eighteen or twenty mill
ions Of free men, with unlimited resources. or
else approve the policy of the Administration
and lend it the most energetic aid in putting
down this infamous and conceited rebellion.
They have wisely and seasonably decided on
the latter course, and it is as astonishing as
it is gratifying that Of late, men like James
Gordon Bennett, who have hitherto, owing,
it is true, in measure, to a natural in6rmity
looked only cross-eyed at the vital interests of
the nation and of freedom, are seeing things
straight as they exist and have the manliness

Worse than Rot Gut.

Joe, the man of all work about Porters
hotel, at North Cambridge, was fond Of
good liquor, or, indeed, liquor ofany kind;
and being, generally, short Of funds, was
in the habit of seizing on all remnants Of
liquor left by practitioners at the BAR
Thus matters progressed for some years
until one day, when Porter having occa-
sion to make mixture to cure diseased
hoof, had need of some nitric acid, or
auuafortis, that article being one Of the
ingredients of the lotion. Taking COM
mon bar tumbler and pouring a sufficient
quantity of acid into it, he went out, lcav-
inc the tumblcr on the counter, and a
drover the sole occupant OF the bar-room.
He had no sooner passed the door than III
came Joe, and seeing, as he thought,
tumbler, as usual, with some liquor too
good to be wasted, Immediately looked
through the bottom, "as was the usual
CUSTOM" and quickly threw himself out
side of said liquor. He then went to
chopping wood, smacking his lips at the
unusual strength of the spirit. Shortly
after, old. Zach coming in picked up the
tumbler to go on with his medical prepa-
ration, but was surprised at finding it
empty. Inquiring of the traveller, he was
informed that short, chunky man (de-
scribing Joe) had drank it. With an ex-
clamation of surprise, and CONSERVATION
depicted on his countenance, he rushed
out of the room in search of Joe, expect
ing to find his dead body not far off. He
passed around the house and in the back
ward found Joe doing extra execution on
the logs, working as he generally did when
he had on an extra amount OF steam.
After getting over his astcnishment this
conversation took place:
Old Zach-Joe, did you drink that stuff
on the counter:
Joe-Why, yes; I thought it hadn't
ought to be wasted, you know. alright
s'pose:
Old Zach-I don't know. How do you
like it How do you feel after it,
Joe-Feel: 1 feel first rate, lively as a
cricket.
Old Zach-Well, Joe, but haven't you
noticed anything out of the way-nothing
wrong about yous
Joe-Anything wrong: WE'LL no, not
much fust rate liquor; takes good hold !;
goes further than common. There is only
one thing queer, about which I can't get
the hang on (there he drew his sleeve un-
der his nose) whenever l wipe my mouth,

Notwithstanding the enormous amount
of silver which the mines Of Peru have
welded, only very small portion Of the
silver mines have been worked. 1t Is
well known fact that the Indians are aware
of the existence of many rich mines, the
situation of which they will never disclose.
Heretofore, mining has been to them all
toll and little profit, and it has bound them
in chains from which they cannot easily
emancipate themselves. For centuries
past the knowledge of some OF the richest
silver mines have been, with invlolable
secrecy, transmitted from father to son.
All endeavors to prevail on them to di
yulre these secrets have been fruitleSs.
In the village of Huancayno there lived a
few wears ago two brothers, Don Jose and
Don Pedro Yriarte, two of the most emi-
nent mineroS of Peru. Having obtained
certain information that in the neighboring
mountains there existed some veins OF pure
silver, they sent young man, their agent,
to endeavOr to gain further knowledge on
the subject. The agent took up his abode
in the cottage of Il shepherd, to whom,
howeve.; he gave not the slightest intima-
ton Of the object of his mission. After q
little time, an attachment sprung up be-
tween the young man and the shepherds
daughter, and the girl promised to disclose
to her lover, the position of very rich
mine. On a certain day, when she was
going out to tend her flock, she told him
to follow at distance, and to notice the
spot where she let drop her manta; by
turning up the earth on that spot, she de-
clared he would find the mouth of mine.
The young man did as he was directed,
and after digging a short time, he discov-
cred a mine of considerable depth, contain
ing rich ore. Whilst he was engaged in
breaking out the metal, he was joined by
the girls father who expressed himself
delighted at the discovery, and offered to
assist him. After they had been at work
for some hours, the old Indian handed to
his companion cup of chicha, which the
Young man thankfully accepted. But he
had no sooner tasted the liquor than he
felt i'll, and he soon became convinced that
poison had been mixed with the beverage
he had tasted. He snatched up the bag
of metal he had collected, mounted his
horse, and with the utmost speed rode off
to Hucavno, where he related all that oc-
CURED, described as accurately as he could
the situation of the mine, and died on the
next day Active measures were imme-
diatelv set on foot to trace out the mine,
but without success. The Indian and his
family had disappeared, and the mine was
never discovered.

SnmehnLN i'll my Bed.

Few of oar readers perhaps, have ever
been placed III The situation, II which our
doctor found himself. The following IS
his story:
Il believe, Captain" said the doctor,
Il never told YOU about my advcntnrc
with woman at my clearinghouse,
when l was attending the lectures" :"
NO: lets have H." replied the indi-
vidual addre<Scd--a short, tiabby lat man
OF about fifty, with highly nervous tenn
permanent and very red face.
AT the time l attended the lectures, l
boarded at a house i'll which there were
10 females, but the landlady and old
colored cook"
Here the doctor made slight pause,
and the captain, by way Of requesting hun
to 20 on, said:
"Wcll."
Il often felt the want of female society
to soften the severe labor Of study, and to
dispel the e1,mui to which l was subject"
"Well," said the captain.
"But as feared that forming acQualnt-
ances among the ladies might interfere

"Well,"
"Onc evening, after listening to a long
lecture on physical anatomy, and dlSSect-
inc large negro, fatigucd in body and
mind, went to my lodgings.

Il went into the hall, took large
lamp and went directly to my room, it
being after midnight"

Il placed the light upon my table
and commenced undressing l had got
nv coat off when my attention was at
tracted to dress and quantity OF

Well" said the captain, who began
to show signs that he was deeply inter-
eSted.
a pair of beautiful small shoes and
stockings were on the floor. OF course l
thought it strange, and was about to re-
tire, but then it was my room, and had,
at least Il right, to know who was in my
bed" -

bed. and with trembling hand drew aside

As l gazed upon her, thought that

She had on a night dress, buttonedup

chair right and left, and squirting his to-
bacco juice against the stove, making 1t

A GEORGIA REGGMENr.-OrpheuS G..
Kerr, who, with his talented little Men
ken wife, is Just now ruSticating in San
Francisco, writing Things" for the
Golden Era, relates the following anecdote
of regiment of Georgia Colonels. 1t
is decidedly refreshing:
In the Mexican war, Georgia thought
she'd raise regiment. and did-but every
man in il was colonel. They tossed up
coppers all round TO decide who should
have command. and started to reinforce
Scott. Previous to marching, they con-
shifted Hartce. and found that the soldier

YOU come from. and where are you going

while the fddlerS struck up tune that

the commander gaily, fourishng the

PARIsIAN RoGUERY.-A new method of
shoplifting has just been discovered in
Paris. An elegant lady enters store ae-
eompanied by nurse carrying baby
dressed in rich embroidery. On leaving
they are supposed to have taken laees,
jewelry, etc., as the case may be, and are
arrested. An examination proves that
the baby has wax-work face, and hol-
low paste-board body, which serves as a
hiding place for the stolen articles.
