MiSoegenatiOn,

We ask our readers for this once to become
credulous enough to believe US when we say
that the following sentence actually appeared
in the New York independence, Henry Ward
Beecher's paper, a widely circulated and infu-
entail journal, and the leading organ of one
branch Of the Presbyterian Church. Speaking
Of the negro race, the Rev. writer says:
"This race has the seeds of great and rich
and generous culture Ii shall be mixed with
ours, is being mixed and in future we shall
soc q fruit of art, of literature, Of social life,
the product of the great engrafting, such as has
not been seen in this world"
Read that to your wives sisters and daugh-
ters, ye who follow the leadership Of the Abo-
lihonists and other worshipers OF the negro
But let Others pour out Indignation and contempt
upon all such calculations.-ClereEaad Plan

REPUBLICAN FRIENDsHIP FOR TITg SOLDIER
The Republican majority Of the Connecticut
Legislature have tabled bill which proposed
to give a small bounty 10 soldiers who went in
to the army two years ago. These Republican
demagogues have plenty OF honied words for
the soldiers, but that is all.
The above is in keeping with the conduct OF
the leaders of that party in all parts of tue
country. Now that the war Is over, and the
services of our brave soldiers are no longer need
ed, they are mustered out" aud, though COM
plimented for their bravery and fidelity, la lcords
which cost nothing, they will be left to shift for
themselves, while the stay-at-home patriots
will secure to themselves a monopoly of all The
honors and offices in the gift of the government
Now that the soldiers have returned, to min2Ie
again with their fellow citizens, and can read
Democratic newspapers without fear of insult
and punishment, they will be likely to find out
who their true friends are, and how utterly hyp-
ocritical and hollow are all the windy profes-
sions of regard for them which have been made
by the Black epublicans.-Lqacaster Iate'L,-

The $4,000 Rebels,

The Chicago Times has an article de.
fning the policy foreshadowed in tho
S20,000 clause of tho Presidents am-
nesty proclamation. The Times says:
Whatever the outward appearance of
this $4,000 clause, it is in reality
founded upon most accurate apprecia-
tion of the cause of secession, and a
knowledge of its remedy. 1t is not de.
signed to affect men of wealth because
they are wealthy, but because in no
other manner can the President reach,
so efectually, the largest number of
that class of men who are responsible
for the rebellion. 1t is not true that
every man who possesses property to the
amount of $4,000 is a rebel, but it is
true that if Southcrner be found the
possessor Of this amount, the chances
are many against one that he took an
active part against the Government.
The clause is not leveling nor agrarian n;
it is not directed at property, but is
simply an effort to reach, in the most
direct manner, the real culprits of the
rebellion.

JEFF, Davis Capture.

The Detroit Free Press has received
from Major Hudson Of that city, who
commanded the squad of the Fourth
Michigan Cavalry, who captured Davis,
the following story of the scene, which
contains some new points:
"To Major Hudson was given the
duty Of surrounding the teHt of the
rebel chief. He picked fifteen Of his
best men and proceeded to execute the
order, which was done with consum m ate
skill, and to the entire satisfaction of
his Superior officer. The place of cap
ture was about one hundred and twen-
ty five miles south of Macon, in the
woods adjoining the small town of Ir.
winsville. After the order had been
properly executed Of surrounding the
tent, the Major proceeded to the tent Of
Davis, where he was met by Mrs. Davis,
somewhat en- dishaJHle. She inquired
if they intended to invade the privacy
of a lady's apartment. The Major
thought not. At this juncture an indi.
vidual having the appearance of an an
tiquated grand-dame, dressed with Q
lady's waterproof cloak and shawl
minus the inevitable hoop skirt, how
ever, accompanied by a,young negro
servant girl, bringing q small bucket
emerged from the tent, apparently fol
the purpose of going to the spring for {
bucket ofwater. This was an ingenious
device of Mrs. Davis to get her husband
through the lines. The ruse failed anC
Jefferson Davis was discovered. Thu
servant girl ran back to the tent ant
Jefferson was soon effectually secured
For some time he remained sulky, very
much after the fashion Of an old lady il
need of her usual compound extract o
strong tea; but the President after
while got over his 'fts' and became
quite communicative, conversing free
ly on ordinary topics, but maintaining
prudent silence on current militar,
and political events"

THE NEGRO TROOPS IN THE FAR
SoUTH.-It seems that tho government t
is determined to garrison the States
bordering on the Gulf of Mexico, and
on the Mississippi River, in great part,
by black troops, The two very strong
divisions, First and Secondly of the
Twenty-ffth Army Corps, which are
now on their way to Texas, are compos-
ed entirely of negroes. They saw a
good deal of active service during the
campaign of last winter against Peters
burg, and approved themselves good
soldiers, brave aud disciplined.

Healthful, Perhaps, but not Graceful.
IF We are to believe fair Quakoress
of Wisconsin-and who will doubt the
word of friend not only rides
astride her horse, but adopts the En-
glish, ungraceful style of rising in her
stirrups-bobbing up and down, as if
there wero pins in the saddle. This
fashion of woman astride, is what the
Home Journal calls "woman's bifurca-
ted equality with man." The Journal
is an advocate for this woman "bifurca- =
ton" A horseback woman, "bifur-
Gated" has better command of her posi-
ton than when, in the usual way,
hooked up by her right leg; so can she
walk better in pautaloons than in petit
coats; but it won't do to unscx woman,
for we all feel TO sympathize with the
good deacon in the "Amen corner"
who, when tho brother "leading in
prayer remarked that woman was
made from man only with a slight va
ration, exclaimed, with fervency and
rubbing of hands, "thank God for that
variationl"
But to the letter from this 'birur
Gated" "friend." The Journal says.
The following extract from letter
written by Miss Mary M. Trentliege,
an English Quakeress, now teacher in
Wisconsin, will be interesting to those
ladies who contemplate riding on horse

allegiance to the General Government?
Can such State renounce all its duties,
and yet insist upon its rights2 It is
generally admitted, and is certainly
very clear, that the United States may
punish traitor by depriviug him of his
life, his property and his franchise. II
one, why not all who are equally guilty?
IF the entire voting population have
openly revolted against their allegiance,
it is absurd to say that we havepower to
kill tbem,S and yet have no power to
prevent their voting. Again, can we
punish the counterfeiter of our coin
with disfranchiscment, and yet not so
punish a traitor2 IF one, why not all2
But it is said that the loyal people
are left, who can vote. 1t is a sad fact,
but a very true one, that the number of
such people in the Southern States
would form a very narrow foundation
for a republican government. North
Carolina and Tennessee may contain
enough such.
President johnson intends to try the
experiment in those States; but | fear
he will find the spirit of rebellion too
deep rooted in those who have taken
the oath to make them good citizens.
How is it when you come to South
Carolina and Mississippi 1t is said,
establish in these a military govern
ment. Well, for a time, that may do,
but it is expensive and contrary to the
spirit of our institutions. If we can
put negro regiments there and give
them bayonOts, why can't we give them
votosP Both are weapons of offence
and defence. Votes are cheaper and
better. Both are part of the military
necessity put upon us by the rebellion
Both are unpleasant to the rebels, but
medicines are not usually savory:
Mr.. Sherman made some further re-
marks on the subject of negro suffrage
in the South, which we published in our
last issue, and therefore omit them here
In conclusion, he said:
AS for the people Of the Southern
States, we can now regard them as con.
quered rebels, but it is the highest wis
dom of conquerors to be magnanimo Gus
and generous. These people and theil
descendants live with Us and form {
part of the body polite. Our true pol
icy is to heal and not widen the breach
made by war. Sufficient security should
be taken for future peace, and sufficient
punishment to stamp the rebellion as a
crime, and then pardon and amnesty foI
the people. All this under our Consti
tuition is invested in the President, aut
we can ell safely trust in it Andy John
son. He knows whom to punish ant
whom to pardon; aud allow me to sa,
that you will fnd in him qualities o
T head and heart that make him ft to FL

Abraham Lincoln. sat by the side o
Mr.. johnson for two years in the Sen
ate Chamber. 1 think l know hiu
well-his habits, his character, the tenn
per of his mind, and l assure you h
will deserve the high honors and exalto

Proposed Modification of the Amnes-
ty Proclamation.

~
1t has been proposed in the Cabinet
to modify the mncsty Proclamation so
as to exclude from its benefits all rebels
whose property is valued at ten thous-
and dollars and upward. This modi6-
cation will increase the exemptions to
one hundred and thirty one thousand
On the twenty thousand dollars basis
the property of only thirty-fve thous.
and rebels would be liable to confsca-
ton, calculating on the basis of the
valuation of the property in the South
in 1860, and treating slave property
as extinguishod. The proposition has
several warm advocates in the Cabinet,
yet it is doubtful whether any modifca-
tion of the proclamation will be made.

IDA AND ELMER.
Sweet as bird notes In the sprlpg.time,
Or in summer gay,
Was the voice of one we cherished
Little Ida May.
In her soul was that mild beauty
Angels love to-day:
And she smiled so sweetly on us,
Lovely Ida May.
But her brow grew pale and paler
While to us she'd say,
"1 am going now, dear loved Ones
Where its bright as day."
Then she talked to us so sweetly
OF a sun-bright shore,
"whOre l will see Our LiHie Elmer
And all who have gone before"
Then she asked 'how we would dress her,
And If we would not lay
BY the side of Little Elmer:
Dying Ida May"
Then she told us how she loved us
And the ones array.
"You must kiss thcm, Alice, Mary,
Aileh wv ioT lua may
"Father, mother, do not weep,
The road is bright as day;
Elmer's gone, and he is waiting
Now for Ida May"
oh my God How hard to give them
Back to God that day.
Bmheg noU are brightest angels:
Elmer dear, and Ida May.
We've laid them in those grassy mounds
Where flowers bloom bright and gay,
Where sweety rest our darlngs,
Elmer and Ide May.
They're only waiting for us
And thoir spirits seem to say,
"Como up higher, dearest loved enos,
To Elmer and Ida May"
But God will sootho our anguish,
We will happy be for aye,
When we meet our angel children,

as for the street. The truth is, women
are becoming sensible in their dress,
They now shield their faces from the

and do not drnggle their skirts. A
This is the general rule: of course
there are exceptions, and will continue
to be until fools are all dead. l

rage in vain, unless they break the door

Tailor as he was, Andrew johnson
is no snob. Soon after he was inau-
gurated Governor of Tennessee, a high
official of the State who had been bred
a blacksmith, presented him with set
of elegant fre-irons made with his own
hands. 81 will give him return in
kind" remarked the Governor. He
bought some of the finest black broad
cloth that Nashville could furnish, pro-
cured set of tailor's implements, got
the judges measure from his tailor and
made a complete suit of clothes, setting
every stitch himself and presented
them to his friend. The work, we are
told, was all done in the Governors
room in the State House. The happy
wearer of the garments pronounced d
them a perfect fit and when last heard
from he had them still.
