TIT FOR TAr.-Joe aud Commodore
Rogers, brother blacksmiths in Whitewa-
ter, Wisconsin, have great reputation as
practical jokers. Last spring Joe bought
an old fashioned churn, for the purpose Of
manufacturing his own butter, and as the
Commodore was a widoWer, and lived with
Joe, all such work naturally fell to him.
One day, after supper, the first churnng
was got ready. aud the Commodore was
invited to churn.
"Hold on said he, ''till 1 go down
town and get some terbacker."
He went, aud while gone, Joe did the
churning, and took the butter, and left
the buttermilk in the churn.
The Commodore returned, looked at the
churn, took off his coat, and said, "Wall,
old churn, it's you and |, aud here's for
ye" and commenced his labor. Alter
churning couple of hours, he remarked
that he Guessed it would be cheaper to
buy butter than to make it." 81 think
so, too" said Joe-"if you you are going
to churn it out of buttermik ~
A few days after this, Joe put one end
Of small bar of iron into his forge fire,
and gave his bellows three or four pumps,
and then stepped into the back shop
While he was gone, the Commodore heat
ed the iron to black heat, then changed
ends with it, and stepped out of the front
door.
In came Joe, took up the iron, but
dropped it instauter, holding up his burn
ed hand aud roaring with pain. "Put on
some buttermilk, } oe," said the Commo-
dore-''it's good for burn !"

WHERE THEY GOT TIE NoTION.-It
is well known that the negroes at the
South have very generally the idea that a
division of lands is sOou to take place :;
some OF them look for it at Christmas and
some at New Years. A paper printed at
Galveston, called Flakes Bulletin, thus
explains the origin Of the idea:
During the war, when designing poll
ticians wished to fire the Southern heart
anew, they told the people that if they
did not succeed in secession, their lands
would be divided amongst their slaves,
and the whites of the south would be
placed beneath the blacks, and become
hewers of wood and drawers Of water
Politicians said so from the stump to au-
diences In which there were negroes :;
their prasenc- there can easily be under
stood by all who are acquainted with the
Southern Stales; they were there as car
riage drivers, walters and ladies' maids.
They heard these things and repeated
them to others. The newspapers con-
tanning the same assertions were carried
into the different homesteads and their
contents read and discussed before the
negroes. Many of the whites made these
assertions and regarded it as Tank treason
to contradict them. Some of the negroes
were foolish enough to believe them.-
After rejecting, sensible men will not be
surprised that some OF the negroes enter
tain these false IDEAS

General Banks official majority for
Congress is 6,I49.
Herschel V. johnson declines being a
candidate for Judge of the Supreme
Court of Georgia.
According to the Chattanooga Gazette,
a conspiracy exists in that State, the OBJ
ject of which is to influence the radicals
to refuse Judge Patterson a seat in the
United States Senate" and to put the
Hon. Horace Maynard in his place.
The result of the election held in Ar
kansas, October 9Th, for members of
Congress, is just announced. The entire
vote illegal and Illegal of the State is
6,34O, electing three members. But of
this number only I,3l5 votes are certified
as being cast in compliance with the law,
as follows 799 in the LIST district,
429 in the I'd, and 81 inthe Sd. Counting
or excluding the illegal vote, William
Byers is elected in the LIST (Helena) dis
trict, and J. NJ. johnson in the Sd fort
Smith, district. In the I'd Little Rock
district, however, the strict legal vote
elects G. II. Kyle; the vote that might
have been legal but for lack of certiiica-
ton elects Lorenzo Gibson; and the total
vote (all counted) elects John II. Askew.

The Color Question in the church

The Color Question in the Church
The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press gives the following
account of the latest development of the
war of races" %.
At the recent session of the Methodist
Conference in Washington, Bishop Simp-
sen sent a colored preacher, the Rev. Mr..
Lawson, to Stanton, Va, to preach to
the blacks there. He preached one half
day in the Methodist church yestry to a
black audience. The next day the white
clergymen of Staunton- met and voted
that thereafter no colored man should
preach in that place, but that once in four
weeks ore of their number should preach
exclusively to- the blacks. The black
members of the Methodist Church, three
hundred in number, and paying nearly all
the parish expenses, thereupon seeded,
leaving that church to its eighteen white
members, and organized a f~ourishing
church of their own in the spacious, room
of a carriage mandatory. The Baptist
clergyman, seeing the ruin of the Methe-
dist Church, and conscious of the inabili-
ty of its W white flock to sustain him,
Immediately sent an offer of his vestry to
a colored Baptist clergyman. The offer
was accepted, and ever since that day the
two most hourishing churches in Staun-
ton are the Black Methodist and the
White-and-black Baptist. - % ~i

The Currency Question in the Pacific
states.

Washington Correspondence Philadelphia Press.
The Legislatures of California and the
new Stats Of Nevada have laws on their
statute books prohibiting the circulation
of paper money, and the consequence is
that much hardship is experienced by
those who are in need of the facilities of
long credits and an easily convertible cur
rency. AgOod deal has been said Of the
advantages of a metallic circulation; but it
is asserted by many who have recently
come from California, that if the Secretary
of the Treasury would consent to organize
a great national bank, with two or three
millions of capital at San Francisco, pub
lie opinion would soon demand the repeal
of the restrictive State legislation. Sena-
tor Stewart, of Nevada, is understood to
be warmly in favor of establishing such
institutions in the gold States. Nothing,
however, can prevent the circulation of
gold-back notes among the people of the
Pacific States. They will, it is certain,
be sought after, being more portable, more
easily stored away, and therefore more
convenient of defence. Among the vexs-
tions incident to metallic currency is the
FREQUENT temptation to robbery, while
there are normeans of identifying the coin.
Mexican experience, in this respect, would
be sufficient, wen if the utterly degraded
and distracted condition of that country
mightnot be quoted as one of the eviden-
ces of the barbarism which characterize
all countries in which hard money is the
only currency.
