A lively Description.

The following lively description of
New York politics is from the New York
Times. 1t is a singular admission from
so high a source;
GREENHoRN.-This rather slangy APP
relation must be used (and we mean no
disrespec) to designate our friend of the
Providence Post. After quoting some
facts about the demoniac character OF
the rowdyism that occasionally breaks
out here, the editor says:
"With the enormous municipal eXpen-
diture of New York city, we think this
sort of thing might be stopped"
Why, bless your gooseberry eyes, MIR.
Post, "that's not the little game" Don't
you know that these very rowdies are
the makers of our law makers; that not a
few, but large majority ofthe men who
sit in our official places, are indebted for
their seats to these heaven-daring viii
lainsl Do you expect fellow, nominal
ted entirely and elected mainly by ruff
fans, to ego back on the beys2" If you
do, your knowledge of New York life
must be very small indeed. Don't you
remember when scores of these rowdies
were policemen? Some of them are in
State Prison, some are dead, and great
many are rowdies still. Don't You re-
member when pompous Justice of the
Peace held court in an omnibus one morn
ing while riding down town, and dis.
charged from the officers having them in
custody gang of scamps (all his friends)
who had been breaking heads and win
dows all night2 Come and live with us
awhile, Mr.. Post. and we venture to pre-
dict that You will find Rhode Island large
enough for any future aspirations that
you may entertain What! Officials cho-
sen by ruffians put down ruffianism! Mr..
Post, you don't know us; we are very bad

sxpensiyes and Troublesome, generally

expensive and troublesome, generally
causing more or less popular connection,
and if, after all, they are not to be re-
spected and may be set aside at the will
of any military commander simply be-
cause he does not like the set of candi-
dates who happen to be the choice of a
majority of the voters, our whole sys-
tenn of elections would better be aban-
doned. Let all civil officers hereafter,
from constable to President of the Uni
ted States, be appointed by the military
authorities. The people would then
know what to expect and would escape
the anxiety and expense of political
campaigns. We are not without some
hope that President JOHNSON may re-
woke the order of General TURNER and
enjoin upon him obedience to law. The
President processes to be anxious for the
restoration of civil law in the Southern
States, and surely he will not suffer so
glaring an Infringement upon civil rights
as is contained in General TURNER'S or
der to pass by unrebuked. The Southern
people can never be made loyal by such
course as is being pursued in Rich
mond-never.

We copy the first item below from the
Cleveland, Ohio, Herald (Rep.) The i'll
difference with which the affair is related
by the Herald looks as if such things are
hereafter no more to be wondered at or
regarded than if the parties were both of
the same color:
AN ACT OF ACCOMMODATION negro
residing in this city recently took young
brunette lady out to ride. Upon return

he did thus so as to accommodate his

no place at which to stay, and he want

The Fishkill On w. Journal (Rep.)
makes the following statement:
Mrs Darius Hall, who resides about a
mile west oil this village, on Wednesday
last deserted her husband and children,
and left in company with negro by the
name of Wells She took with her all
the money in the house-about S6O-and

sented himself to be q preacher, and as
such has offlciated at the lions Pilgrim

In Michigan, recently, young and
cultivated Miss, just from the boarding
school, fell dead in love with likely col
ored man in her fathers employ. He
reciprocated the attachment of the fair
one, but fearing the opposition OF the
parent, coaxed his love to consent to an
elopement and a marriage abroad. She
consented, but was detected in the at
tempt to get away, and tie father, in a
towering passion, drove the darlkey from
the premises, and sent his frail child to
an aunt in a ncighboring State. sSambo
boasts much of his conquest Ofthe dangli'

the old gentleman can object to his color

times, "all men are equal, and one color

Sonnd Doctrine.

The New York Times has occasionally
lucid interval in which it manifests
a considerable degree of good sense
and correct appreciation of the require
ments of the day. The following extract
from recent editorial in that paper con-
tains u great deal of truth.
The present moderation and decorum
observed between the North and SOnth

ifestations of friendship, if that class OF
politicians, ,rho can lire only on mischief

in both sections will be firmly set against
any revival of the old sectional temper,
when dealing with the questions on
which the two sections of the country
may not fully agree. The public speaker

nunciation should be marked at once as

fall into intemperance of speech from

they should be made promptly to feel that
they are not in an atmosphere suited to
such displays. If public opinion will
assert its Just moral authority in regula-
tn of all the discussions touching. re-
