HARD ON FRRNANDO.-The following
passage from the reply of Mr. Farms
worth Of Illinois to Fernando Wood, in
the House, the other day, is said to have
created great amusement
" Sir, it is said, believe, that every
man looks upon and appreciates charac-
ter from his own standpoint. Isuppose
that man who stands upon the gal
lows and feels the halter drawn about
his neck would regard a very disreputa-
BILE person, if exempt from the doom of
that punishment as very respectable !;
and | suppose that, if man has escap-
ed the penitentiary by the statute Of
limitations or any other device, he
would regard as very respectable a
character which Others might consider
very ignoble. Men Of a low class re
gard the character of others from their
own low stand point and by 3 compari-
son with their own position IN the moral
scale. But it is left for the member
from New York to justify and support
this barbarous institution of slavery,
and to declare that the shareholders en-
gagged in this rebellion are, par cIceAence,
the noble, gallant and generous people
Of the United States Mr.. Speaker, do
not 50 regard them. From the stand
point which | occupy | look upon them
in very different light. | think that
they are neither just generous, nor no
Bile; and, sir, YOU shall find that. where
ever slavery Lac oEsisssss r----. --~-i~y -
wears. it makes the Shareholder ignOble,
unjust ungenerOus and tyTannical.
Such is the natural effect Of the institu-
ton everywhere.
The member from New York caused
to be read at the clerks desk descrip-
ton, as learned afterward of some hOr-
rid scene in Africa, as written by a
traveller. l did not know, when it was
read, from what source it was taken,
nor had heard what was said by the
gentleman in connection with it. Form
ing my surmise on the character Of the
description, | turned to some one near
me and asked whether it was q desCrip-
| ton of the horrd atrocities committed
| by the deniZens of the Five Points and
other constituents Of the gentleman, du-
| ring the riot in New York city a year
! or two ago. It seemed so apt and com
| plete a description Of the scenes which
occurred during that riot as they were
detailed in the New York papers, that l
thought it must be an extract from some
| history Of those occurrences. We all
recollect that during that riot cOlOred
! orphan asylums were set ON fire, Negro
women with children in their arms were
| murdered, and in some instances ne
groes were burned. Those are scenes
which were participated in by the vo
tiers Of that members own city and dis
trict. You need not go to Africa to fine
| scenes of horror"

HARD TAcK.-One day lot Of boxes
of peculiarly hard crackers arrived in
the camp of the 9Th Excelsior Several
of the boys were wondering at the
meaning of the brand upon the boxes,
which was as follows:
"B. G. 6O3." Various interpretations
were given; but all were rejected, until
one individual declared it was all plain
enough-couldnt be misunderstood.
Why, how so 2" was the query.
"Ohl" he replied, that is the date
when the crackers were made-six hun
bred and three years before Christ
1903 B. C.)

Government, and interminable civil wars,
/ Z That the negro is not fitted to become a
voter, either naturally, intellectually, or
morally, and if the right were extended to
him he would become mere tool in the
hands Of unprincipled demagogues, who
would use him for the purpose of again
stirring up sectional strife between the
Northern and Southern States of the
Union. aif 4a -
These are the issues we must meet and
maintain. We therefore wish our conser-
vatvie friends throughout the State to be
on the alert; to organize al once and be
prepared for an election, when we will be
enabled by our united efforts to success
fully oppose the dangerous radical meas
ures sought to be thrust upon our national
and State policy.
The conservative citizens in the city of
New Orleans, as also several of the adioin-
ing parishes, are becoming thoroughly or
ganized, and have adopted plan Of Or
ganiZing permanent Executive Com
mittee, which is forwarded herewith. We
hope you will at once organize and elect
members to that committee, in order that
our labors may be facilitated and q more
perfect organization effected.
In conclusion, we appeal to you not only
III DOIhll vi our tcllOW-Clbl4CLb vi INbW oT-
leans, but in behalf of the conservative
citizens of our whole country, in behalf of
patriotism and love of country, to forget
all past differences. Let them be buried
IN one common grave; strive to inculcate
peace, harmony and good feeling amongst
all.
Let us unite in one common effort to re-
store our distracted country to its former
greatness and prosperity. Let US invoke
your action. Prepare and qualify your
selves at once to become voters at the en-
suing election, which will take place
throughout the State in November next,
when you will be called upon TO elect all
officers whose elections are provided for by
the constitution of the State, as well Oh
Representatives. in the thirty ninth Con-
gress of the United States. .-
Let MS indulge the hope that our united
efforts may be crowned with success, that
benceforth magnanimity, benevolence and
generosity may abide in our hearts and an
innate our actions, and that the hands of
the American people may never be incar-
nadined in fratricidal blood. May the
blessings of perpetual tranquility and
brotherly love attend the nation in its on
ward march to grandeur and to greatness.

A Coon BARGAIN.-A good story
is told Of Vermont farmer, who had
dog toEsell, but who put an excessive
value on the animal according to his
neighbor's views. His price was one
hundred dollars He was frequently
offered thirty and thirty-ive dollars,
which he refused, and always assured
his friends he would get his price for
the dog,
One day he returned from a jour
ney, and immediately proclaimed that
he had sold his dog for one hundred
dollars.
"Ahp' said his neighbor, "did you
get cash2" a
"No," said the farmer, ''not exact
ly cash but what is equivalent"
"Well, what did you get?" persist.

CoLoRED SCHOOLS IN SAvANNAE.-Rev.
J. w. Alvord makes the following crafty.
ing announcement, in the Savannah Re-
p31bEcGn
1.-THE Educational Assc citation of the coll
ored people Of the city Of Savannah, under
the auspices of Gen. Geary, commenced i1
operations yesterday. Five hundred chill.
dren and youth assembled at the Baptist
church and were formed into ten schools
each with their teacher marched In pfoce9-
sion to tho buildings assigned them. The
spectacle was imposing, and new for this
city. Their school rooms had been fitted
up with much care and labor BY tho color.
ed people themselves. Indeed, the inter-
estfng fact Ia this whole organization u,
that & IL wholly their own. The omcers Of
the association are all .colored men. The
teachers ale colored, each having been
thoroughly examined and found comps.,
tent to teach the common branches. Tho
expenses, too, are all to be borne By thems
1t was q most interesting scene when mon-
ey was called for at previous meeting, to
see that crowd come forward and deposit
on the communion table seven hundred
and ffty-four dollars In greepbacks and
postage currency for the use Of the Execu-
tive Committee. Two or three hundred
dollars moro was pledged, aod this sum
will doubtless be raised to two or three
thousand. This IL the more wonderful
when 1t is known that this kind Of money
has not beer seen here until the LAST three
weeks"
