Sickles, lately appointed to the command
of the I'd division, Department of the
East, comprising the States ofMassachu-
sets, New Hampshire and Vermont, was
serenaded last evening, and made short
speech from the steps of the Parker
House, in which he said that the state
of his health would prevent him from
making a lengthy speech, but he would
take the opportunity to offer his congrat-
ulations at the successful close of the
war and the honorable peace which had
been won. He spoke of the good con-
duct and valor of the New England
troops, which it had been his fortune to
command, and expressed his belief that
the military supervision of the New Eng
land States, which he had the honor to
command, would not be very onerous

A Southern Opinion Of Chief Jassice

The Judge, before he made his recent
tour through the South, believed that
every white man within these states was
too lazy to work, and instead Of going
out in the morning to get the meat that
was desired for dinner, would seize a
young negro and pitch him into the din
ner pot, to be served up for the postpran.
dial meal By diligent inquiry he found
out that this was not true; and 30 he
agreed to make a compromise between
his preposessions and the facts be discov-
cred in his journey The fact is annous-
ced in the telegraphic report which we
reprint above. We do not eat little ne
gross, as he believed, but We are 30 lazy
that he seems to be fearful that as We do
not eat them, we are bound from our de-
moralized condition to be presently eat

been teaching for many years-the
right fthe negro to eat the white man.
But why should sensible man desl

shows with how little wisdom the world
is governed, and shows, moreover, how
little wisdom, there is in the fanatical
hosts of which Judge Chase is the most
conspicuous member; and yet this man

through the South by Southern men ane
