Esop's FABLES Notwithstanding these
fables we're written more than five hundred
years before the Christian era they still hold
the highest places in productions Of that ma.
ture in the whole range Of literature. Learn.
ed men and great men have been fond of
quoting them, and to illustrate subjects they
have been used from the times Of Aristotle
down to those of General Taylor.
At this period when the negro is the sub
ject Of legislation, controversy and conversa-
zion one Of them may he r.pubished, and
read with pertnency and profit:
4E-op says: "A certain man having bought
a Blackamoor, was so simple as to think
that the color Of his skin was only dirt and
filth, which he had contracted for want of
due care under bis former master. This
fault he imagined might easily be removed.
So he ordered the poor black to be put into
stub, and was at considerable charge in pro
sidng ashes, soap, aud scrubbng brushes
for the operation. TO work they went, rub
bng and securing bis skin all over, but to
no manner Of purpose, for when they had
repeated their washings several times, and
were grown quite weary. all they got by it
va. that the wretched blackamoor caught
cold and died"

4A0
Southern Members Of Congress.
In July, 1853, law was passed by Con-
orsss, says the N. Y. Herald, requiring the
following oath Of ''every person elected or
appointed to any Office Of honor or emolu.
ment, civil, military or naval, or any other
department Of the public service, except the
President OF the United S.ates," towit:
NJ solemnly swear that have never vol,
unfairly borne arms against the United
States since have been citizen thereof;
that have voluntarily given no aid, coun-
tsuance, counsel or encouragement 10 per-
sons engaged in armed hostility thereto; tha:
have neither sought nor accepted, nor at
tempted to exercise the functions Of any Of
fce whatever under any authority or pre-
tended authority in hostility to the United
States; that have not yielded voluntary
support to any pretended government, au'
thoritv, power or constitution within the
United States hostile Or iuirnical thereto;
sud do further swear that to the best of
nv knowledge and ability will support and
defend the Constitution Of the United States" :"
This is tho oath which the members Of
,he last Congress we're required and which
the members of the new Congress will be re-
uuirsd to take. The question recurs, will
the two houses, or either of them, consider
the Presidents amnesty as wipiug out all
offenses connected with the late rebellion!
In any event, it would appear that there
must be some modification Of this oath as a
preliminary step to the admission of mem.
bsrs from the South, and upon this issue We
may expect lively time upon the very thres.
