THE great extent Of rauds upon labor,
which have been carried on ia the oouth
west, has never been revealed. 1t is enough
to make hypoeritical philanthropy BLUSH,
and TO raise the indignation OF all honest hone
men. '41. Tsai iG1air O. 80 si..s 1.f5

TRUrH WELL .SpoKEN-A writer in the
Boston Post says: "SOuthern Democracy
has degenerated into secession. Northern
federalism has degenerated into cOnsolila
uouism. Both are only different roads to

ernment founded by Washington.' y 7
FovND.-Many persons have long been
wondering where that redoubtable knight
and orator of the Republican, persuasion,
Carl Schurz-by political favor Major
Genersl--had been resting his rhetorical
honurs. 1t seems he has turned up in Gen.
Rousseau's department in command of
mixed camp OF instruction for white and
black soldiers This settles the mixed
question of Carts military capacity.

This is Puritanical Boston, where the peo
pie have always been So solicitcus for the
morals of other communities that they have
been careless aud regardless of their own.
1t is good illustration of hypocrisy
WHEN the gunboat Commodore Jones
was destroyed last Friday by torpsdo in
the James river. about seven miles below
Fort Darling, every person on board; with
one exception, was killed or wounded. A
correspondent of the New York Times saws
the boat was crushed Ikea piece of paper,
and huge fragments of the wreck We're lift
ed high in the air. The executive officer
of the Jonesire tanned his loothold on piece
of the deck. and as a rare instance nf cool
ness ia such sudden aud trying event, it
must be told that he drew pistol and shot
dead rebel on the bank Of the river, who |
had exploied the diabolical contrivance by |
means of galvanic battery.
A SLIGHT DIFFERENcE.-Some twenty
five years ago there we a long discussion
in Congress on giving little surplus lue,
left about the Capitol, to the poor Of the
city OF Washington and Mr.. Polk, then
Speaker of the House, gave his casting vote
against it, because Congress had no power
to make sucha donation. Now We see bills
of twenty, fifty, and .onc hundred million
dollars passed without debate and there
has not been an hour within year when
more than the value of that fuel has not
been stolen from the Government.
The Gate City, of the 18th inst SAYS

in Hamilton and is conductor on the IL
linois and Iowa Southern railroad. in
great hurry to pay bill Of some $50 that
he owed the railroad, and presented 500
greenback. Mrs Reid, who was the only |
one in the house at the time, told him that
she could not make the change, when ha re
ininded her that her husband had Just
drawn his pay. She stepped into another !
room and brought out the money and com |
menced to count him out his change, when
the scoundrel snatched the money (anoun-
ting to $275) from her hand and broke for
the brush"
RECOGNIZING THE NEGRo.-Tbe Louis |
vile Journal says: That able Republican
paper the New York Ecening Post, aScrlbes
all our late reverscs to the alleged fact
that the niger isn't properly recognized,
But didn't the cGmmander at Fort Pillow |
recognize the Niger? Din't General
Seymour, in Florida, recognize the niger!
Didn't General Banks, in Louisiana, recog
nize the nigger9 If the nigger wasn't rec
ognlzed upon those occasions bow and when
and where on earth are uiggers tn be- recog'
nized. We are really apprehensive that
abolition edi ors will go SO low to recognize
the nigger, that niggerS wont recognize
them.
