DoN'T LIKE THE Look OF THNGs.-A gen.
tleman, resident of city not thousand
miles from New York, had the exuberant
fortune of Ave successive wives. He had
buried them, one after another, as death
made its demands upon them, and three OF
four of them happened to be in different
places, at quite distance from each other.
Two or three of them were in different towns.
To reconcile his sense Of sacredness with his
sense of order and numerical unity, he
started one day on q tour Of collection to
bury them all in one place.
He mounted the wagon himself, and drove
around till he had got them all together In
one load, and then, as fate would have it, was
obliged to drive by the house where the lady
of his present addresses, to whom he had Of
fered himself, was sitting at the open win
dow. Seeing her sitting there, he bowed Il
her, as any gentleman would, as he drove By
with his precious load Of Eve cofins will
their contents. 1t was too much for TIN
lady; she declared she never would have him
and has to this day kept her word.

THE FARCE TOMORROW.

We publish in another column the resolu.
tions adopted by the National Equal Suffrage
Association at the regular meeting yesterday
evening, expressing the same opinions pro.
nounced by the REPUBLICAN in regard to the
faroical election proposed by the City Coun,
oils Of Washington, to be held tomorrow,
for the purpose of attempting to dictate tc
Congress the action which it shall take, and
the policy 1t shall adopt, in governing the
national domain.
In this matter It is difficult to see that the
opinions Of those who arrogate to themselves
some superior authority, and who assume tc
speak eI oathSdra, because they are " old
residents" or permanent citizens" are OF
more Importance than those of other citizens
Of the United States especially of those who
are deniEens here as employees of the Gov.
ernment or otherwise, and who may be taken
to be the representatives in manner of the
whole body Of the people-representing the
average intelligence, the average morality,
and the average public sentiment of the
whole country.
The action of Congress upon the suffrage
question in this District is of very little com.
parative Importance, considered merely as q
matter of local policy but it is of the highest
importance in its national relations that the
influence of the Government shall be thus
exerted in behalf Of equal rights for all races
Of men.
Tho representative population Of the Dis.
trict will, with other friends Of equal suffrage,
have an ample opportunity to express their
opinions respectfully, and in "a manly
way, by signing the petitions to Congress
now in circulation.
Let the gentlemen tcho hare arranged to.
mOrrOt0s farce hare tile entertainment to
themSeLOey.

CorroN IN VIRGNIA.-For many years
past, especially in counties south of the
James, Virginia farmers have devoted small
patches Of land to the cultivation Of cotton
for their own consumption, 1t being gener.
ally used for summer clothing for the blacks,
Although the end Of slavery relieves the
farmers from the clothing and sustenance Of
so many dependants, the cultivation Of this
valuable material should by no means be
suspended. 1t has always been produced in
quantities too small and should by all means
be kept up to the full extent of the farmers
ability to tend ii.
This year has been remarkably fine one
for cotton In this latitude. In Chesterfield
alone some small crops were made, rivaling
in quality any grown in North Carolina; and
so favorable was the season, that every boil
was saved During the war cottons woven
by hand were In extensive use in this State;
in fact, many fair lady was proud to wear
Il. We trust they will continue to be sufi.

their manufacture, and thus, in stimulating
domestic industry, improve also the house.

A lively debate upon the resolution passed by
the Senate for the relief OF tho Indians in the
far West took place in the House this afternoon.
Mr.. CLARK, Of Kansas, advocated strongly the
immediate passage Of the bill by the House,
painting In the darkest colors the starvation and
wretchedness Of the noble red men. 1t was
stated by members that there were some big
contracts for goods furnished, at eIorbitant
prices, behind the bill, but the House passed the
resolution by a small majority. 1t authorizes
the President to divert certain funds appropri-
ated for other purposes to purchase supplies OF
food and clothing for destitute Indians.

We give the most of our space to the pub
lication of the Presidents message, which, to
us, appears to be the most able and temper
ate State paper that has emanated from the
White House for several years. Its tone Is
thorough and conservative its propositions
sharply defined; its reasoning mainly cor
rect. No one, however obtuse, can fail to
discover q veneration for the Constitution
veining through its every ramih cation.
Upon that august instrument the President
6Iss his faith and draws his inspiration.
Through 1t he makes revelation ofnational
life, and summons all to worship at the same
shrine-the tabernacle of true republican
principle. (1snm) Union Flag.

NAPoLEoN's POLICY IN MEXICO.

There is good and substantial reason for
believing that NAPOLEON, having placed
MAMMALIAN upon the throne of the EN-
pire of Mexico" so.called, will withdraw his
forces from the soil of Mexico, and leave the
Austrian youth to paddle his own canoe.''
To this end, probably, the French troops

cation.
