SPEECH BIZ HORACE MAYNARD,

This distinguished son of Tennessee has
been elected TO Congress, and did SET
forth his views in speeches here and there
to the people, The following remarks re-
Gently made by him are not without inter
est -
"a great clamer is made against negro
suffrage. | do not think that majority Of
the American people have determined to es-
tablish this measure Internationally, but if
you desire to prevent it, hostility to the gov
ernment will not keep it off, but will rather
hasten its establishment. lfthenatlon finds
that all Its efforts to reclaim a rebelllous
population are in vain, it viii be very apt to
give suffrage to the negro population, who
have through all this war proved its fair
and faithful friends. This measure, in this
event, will be adopted as an indispensable
means of establishing loyal civil government
in the South, when the seditious white pop
ulation refuse to submit to the laws and dis
charge their duties as prudent citizens.
Some of you threaten to rebel In that
case. You tried that once before, when you
were great deal stronger than you are
now, and you know the sad result w hat
will your rebellion amount to? 1t would
only give the nation good cause for doing
what it would now avoid. As Major Cen
,eral Logan said in a speech the other day !:
Let them rebel again, that is just what we
want Now, if you want to live at peace,
obey the laws and turn away from those un-
principled politicians who cry out Blue
bellied Yankee, sAbolitionists, and Mig
ger equality, to get your votes. They are
the same men who asked you before the
war, how you would like to see your daugh-
ter marry big buck nigger.
Much has been said about the radical
ism of Chief Justice Chases views on the
subject of negro suffrage. Mr.. Chase be-
lieves that as the white Unionists of the
South are in the minority, very largely, SC
in many localities, it will become matter
of absolute necessity to enfranchise the
black population, which is universally loyal,
in order to prevent the rebels from regain
ing the government of their respective
States at the bailot-box. He believes thai
the nation will be compelled to resort to ne
gro suffrage for representation, especially
the South. Now, henation was not eager
to resort to emancipation, but you forced :
resort to that measure by obstinate rebellion
1t hesitated to enlist negro soldiers, but wa
forced to arm them by the continued rebel
lion of the South, and it found that they
made very good soldiers and could shoot Al
well ss any body. This revolution is not yel
over, and great many Of these subjugatet
rebels are acting and talking very boldly
Rest assured, that if you still defy the ma
tiond government, the nation win be forceC
to think seriously of putting the ballot int
the hands of loyal negroes, to enable then
to vote down tho rebellion,

THE TRUE STORY OF THE RICH
MOND ELECTION.

We learn from trustworthy source that
the action of General Turner, In annulliBg
the recent election at Richmond, was based
chiefly, if not entirely, upon the fact that
the judges of the election, while they admit
ted the votes of Virginians who had served
in the rebel armies, rejected those Of Vir-
ginians who had served in the Union ar
mics.
One Of the votes thus reported was that
OF a citizen, a resident and merchant
of Richmond for at least five years
before the war, strong Unionist, the
secretary of the last open Union meeting
held in the city before the war began. This
gentleman, when troops were called for. left
his home in Richmond-where they were
not enlisting men for the Union armies at
slaae s.'.Ae-TTa,nd M, eptered the three months
service. w hen ms term there expired, lie
re-enlisted and served during the war He
fought in the first battle of Bull Run, at
Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, Gaines's Mill,
Glendale, Savage Station, Malvern, second
tietam, Fredericksburg, Charlottesville,
Gettysburg, Madison Court House, Jack 5
Shop, Raccoon Ford, at the siege of Wagner
Olustee, Drury's Bluff, and was at last
wounded at Cold Harbor.
i Hdt - 10 say, He Was III bWelty-Ole Dab-
ties, and when he returnel to Richmond his
vote was rejected as nonresident. Now
this is a little too strong. The men who
have served in the Southern armies are per
Initted to yote-but they must not expect to
keep their loyal neighbors from the polls
There is limit to human patience, and a
southern loyalist who returns to the home
from which he was expelled by the enemies
of his country, and returns after serving in
the army during the war, is not to. be de-
MED his vote on any quibble of non-resi-
dence.
We hear that this case was presented to
the President, with the proper afidayits and
testimony to prove all its parts, and that he
Immediately ordered that an election con
Quoted on such principles should be annull-
ed. He did right; and his action In this
case should be warning to others in the
South who may be inclined in a like man
ner to set a penalty upon loyalty. A Southern
Union man is at least as good as rebel; in
the general opinion of the country he is a
good peal better, if he has served in the
army. -Ereaing Post.

SOME ARTS OF BEAUTY.

Beauty is ever that divine thing the an
clients painted it; and though it may some
times prove fatal legacy to an ill-trained,
weak minded girl, yet it is oftener blessing
than otherwise, and mothers ought to strive
by all proper means to make their daughters
beautiful and engaging as well as virtuous
and truthful-and beauty can be so greatly
promoted, nay, it may be almost created,
bY watchful care and knowledge
Any child that has tolerable features may
ooa fresh aT S6oa aq tenbg+ hfpgtd aRd bE
Beauty of expression is the most enduring
and highest kind ofbeauty, and the express
sion of the countenance is undoubtedly more
to be controlled and improved by culture
than is fairness of complexion. Every day
we see faces ugly and distorted by crOssness,
anger, revenge and sensuality, which were
once bright and lovely with the innocence
and smiles of childhood What has chan
ged them so greatly, if not coarse food and
bad passions2
Every cross, jealous, proud, scornful feel
ing, like every blow of the chisel upon mar
BILE, serves to carve a line upon the features,
and each time such feelings are INDUCED,
the work of the invisible carver is deepened,
until the face is made ugly by unkind and
unholy thoughts and passions.
In the same way kind, pure thoughts,
gentleness of word and deed, leave their
impress making bad compilations and COM
mon features almost radiant with the beauty
of goodness.
Education, both intellectual and moral,
increase beauty; countenance beaming
with intelligence, united to gentle winning
manner, win always be thought lovely by
sensible people, if it has no other charm,
and this beauty will endure through life
Any one may prove the power of edu-
cation upon the features by noticing the
ignorant, vicious children who are sent to
school of reform, where hey are properly
fed and instructed. Day by day, as they
receive new ideas of right and wrong and
think new thoughts, their eyes brighten,
their cheeks assume deeper color, and the
whole expression of the face changes
How noble are the faces of most men
known for their culture and geniusl so noble,
that in any crowd they would be noticed
and remarked upon, though unknown. 1t
is not that they are, In the common aecep-
tation of the term, handsome men, but be-
cause education and intelligence has wrought
upon their features till they are granda as
the sculptured faces of heroes and demi-
gods. IF every mother and teacher would
but take the requisite care in the physical
and moral culture of the young, in two gen
erations the appearance of the race might
beyastiy improved.
Let every guardian ofyouth then, Impress
upon the young how they disfgure their
faces by Ill temper, idleness and deceit, and
beautify them by kindness, truth and dill
gence in cultivation of their minds.

AGRICULTURAL REPoRT.-The monthly
report of the Agricultural Department for
August, says: The returns ofcorrespondents
show slight falling off in the wheat crops
in New England and Middle States of some
thing over million bushels, loss of about
one and three-quarter millions of bushels in
the States of Maryland and Delaware, and a
deficiency of twenty million bushels in the
Northern and Northwestern States. The
corn crop exhibits greater promise. Its
everywhere good. The potato crop is almost
as promising as the corn crop. The other
crops harvested viii be ample for oil domes-
tic purposes, and that of oats win be very
large. The prospect, therefore, is that in.
jury to the wheat crop will be more than
compensated by the excellence of the other
crops. Tobacco is the only crop which ex-
hibits general falling off in the amount
planted. The heavy revenue taxes which
manufactured produces, and the apprehen.
sion of tax on leaf tobacco, are assigned
by some of the correspondents as the reason
for the reduction. The amount fwool and
increase of sheep are shown to be on like
proportional advance to that they have ex-
hibited since 1861 The report says the re-
bellion gave to the great interest prosperity
which protective laws under high tarif
failed to accomplish.

JUSTICE TO THE NORTH-JUSTICE TO
THE NEGRO

Professor TheophiIus Parsons, in his ex-
eellent address to the President, signed by
leading citizens of Boston, says:
For example, let us compare some of the
Southern States with those of the Northern
States which come somewhat near them in
population on the basis of the last census.
Ii We take the whole population of each
State as the number which measures the
right of representation, and suppose that
the white men alone of the Southern States
cast the votes of the States, brief caleula-
ton will show that every hundred of the
white inhabitants of South Carolina will
have as much power through their represen-
tatives as two hundred and forty of the peo-
pie of Iowa one hundred white men in Mis-
sissippi will equal two hundred and twenty
men IN Louisiana viii equal one hundred
and nlnety-eight in Maine; one hundred
white men In Alabama will equal one hun
dred and elghty-three In Connecticut; and
one hundred white men in Alabama and
Louisiana together viii equal one hundred
and eighty-nine in Indiana. It is therefore
apparent that if, as the Constitution re-
qulres, the cOlored men of the South are all
counted in to measure the right of represen-
tation, and are then all disfranchised this
must operate proportional disfranehise-
ment ofthe people of the North and West.
How long can it be believed that this ine-
quality will be endured? On what right or
reason does it rest IF it be that the col
ored race of the South are all wholly disfran-
chised because wholly unfit for the right of
suffrage, is it also true that the white voters
OF South Carolina are about two and half
times better fitted to exercise this right
wisely and patriotically than the people of
Iowa?

THE AMERICAN FLAG.


When Freedom from her mountain height
Unfurled her standard TO the air, &
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars Of glory there
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes 81
The milky baldrick Of the skies,
And striped its pure celestial white
With streakings Of the morning light
Then from his mansion in the sun
She called her eagle bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen land M
Majestic monarch of the cloud,
Who rearest aloft thy regal form
To hear the tempest trumpings loud, w
And see the lightning lances driven; -----
When stride the warriors Of the Storm
Aud rolls the thunder-drum of heaven
Child of the sun to thee 'tis given
To guard the banner of the free
To hover in the sulphur smoke,
To ward away tine battle stroke,
And bid its blehdings shine afar,
Like rainbows ON the cloud of war
The harbingcrs of victory
Flag of the brave thy folds shall fiy.
The sign of hope and triumph high
When speBks the trumpet's signal tone,
And the long line comes cleaning on,
Ere yet the life-blood, warm and wet,
Has dimn'd the glistening bayonet,
To where the sky born glories burn;
And as his springing steps advance
And when the cannon-mouthings loud
Heave in wild wreaths the battlc-shroud,
And CORY sabres rise and fall
Like shoots of fame on midnight'S hail.
Then shall thy meteor glances glow,
And covering foes shall sink beneath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger of death
Flag of the seas on oceans wave
Thy stars Shall glitter o'er the brave:
When dcuth, eareering on the gale,
Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail,
And freighted waves rush wildly back
Before the broadsides reeling back
Each dying wanderer of the sea
Shall look at once to Heaven and thee,
And smile to see thy splendors ay
In triumph DER his closing eye
Flag ofthe free hearts hope and home,
By angel-hands to valor given.
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were born in heaven
Forever float that standard sheet
Whore breathes the foe but falls before us,
With Freedoms soil beneath our feet,
And Freedoms banner streaming DER us!

WOULDN'T MARRY A MECHANIC.

/ : ~
A young man commenced visiting Young
woman, and appeared to be well pleased
One evening he called when it was quite
late, which led the girl to enquire where he
had been.
Il had to work tonight replied the
young man.
DO you work for liying2' enquired the
astonished girl s1s
My brother doesn't work hard, and
dislike mechanic, and she turned up her
pretty nose.
This was the last time the mechanic visit
ed the young lady. Now he is wealthy
man. and has one Of the best of women for
a WIFE The young lady who disliked the
name of mechanic is now the wife of mis-
cradle fool-a regular vagrant about grog-
shops and she, poor miserable girl, is obi
ged to support herself and her children.
Ye who dislike the name of mechanic,
whose brothers do nothing but loaf and
dress, beware how you distrust men who
work for living. Far better discard the
well fed pauper, with all his rings and bra
zen- facedness and pomposity, and take to
your affections the callous- handed, industri-
Gus, intelligent mechanic. Thousands have
bitterly repented the folly, who haye turned
their backs to honest industry. A few
years of bitter experience taught them q
serious lesson. In this country no man OF
woman should be respected, in our way Of
thinking, who would not work mentally OF
physically, and who curl their lips with
scorn when introduced to hard working
men,

GALvANrzrNe REBEL LEApERs.-

Z GAIvANrztNG REBEL LEADERs.-A cor.
respondent of the New York World is en-
tightening the public with the characters
and intentions of the rebel leaders while they
were in power. Jackson. according to this
writer, was the greatest and most pious
General in the world, and Lee retreated
from Petersburg against his own will The
last fact viii probably not be disputed, how
eyer much the former may be doubted.
Lees viii was no doubt fixed upon retain
ing possession Of Petersburg and Richmond,
but hundred thousand sturdy veterans,
under the infexible Grant, wanting posses
sion likewise, was the impelling power which
made Lee S legs go in the opposite direction
to his will All these attempts to make he
roes worthy of the world admiration out of
defunct and defeated rebel Generals are NJ
diculous and demoralizing. The true heroes
Of the war are the patriots who stood by the
flag and the popular institutions Of their
country. Grant, Meade, Sherman, Sheri-
dan, tower above all the rebel generals living
or dead, and so history win write them
down, and their. countrynen hold thera In
their grateful regards Sc
