Female Extravagance.

There IL no sign Of the times more
full Of dread omen TO the nation than
the unhounded extravagance of women.
Their reckless desire for prodigAl display
il both shameful and astounding. They
riot in wanton waste, seemingly without
q thought for eithes propriety or decency
Il 10 disgrace 10 the taste Of the coun-
try, dishonor 20 the men who have so
recently died on battle-felds, and q re-
preach to every woman in the land who
in any way eonntenance the wicked con-
tagion. The vilest and the purest appear
side by side on the street, In the social
assemblage aud at the public gatherings,
tinselled alike in gill aud garnish. There
is no mark to distinguish between the
true and the false There seems to be
but una idol, At which all bow down, aud
before which good sense aud good char
acter are alike being sacrificed
Among the looked Tor results of the
war IL was hoped thai the country would
be purged Of slavish obediencs to the
mandates Of Partisan monde, and its at
tendant extravagance. Twice every year
the followers of so-called fashion were
wont 70 attend nj special displays Of the
milliners and nsodistes, and learn there
what they were to wear the ensuing sea-
son. Many of the most refined in the
land thought it no disgrace TO seek in
structions in the arts Of French eonrte-
sans--who are in reality makers OF the
fashions that are so slavishly adopted in
this country. With scarcely thought
they yielded subserviency TO land
wholly alien to Us in morals, religion,
political AMI social life, aud not the least
Of ell, 10 climate. Bus it did not seem
thet so much Of imitation, reckless
waste aud useless display could possibly
survive the sad discipline Of great war.
And when our literature came out OF the
ordeal clothed with the noble life and in
sturdier form, it gave cause for hope that
the tastes aud habits 'of the women of the
land would also be OF q purer and more
provident character. How delusive was
the hope the wild dissipstions of the
past summer, aud the rush at the recent
displays ofthe fashion mongers, too well
attest. There Is, indeed, danger before
US, and every interest demands that 1t
be fairly met before it be too late.
At the breaking mp Of the war, in the
spring, it Id not seem possible that the
sorrow and desolaticn of four years Of
conflict could be so entirely ignored az
to permit season of unexsmpled prof
LEGACY. What with halt million men
either deAlot manned for life, and with
mourning at the inner or cutsr door of
every house in the land, there was
reason TO expect that motives of pro-
priety, II no other, would stay for time
the reviving of any useless scenes of ex-
travaganee. But while the procession

The Naked Issue.

The negro has been liberated. Govern
ment announces to him that he is freeman
As such, he becomes amenable to laws and
subject to obligations, which did not effect
him in his former condition. He must sup
port himself by labor. He must pay taxes
He must meet various other acquisitions -
He can not be expected to do well-to ad-
vance in the social scale, to accumulate
means. to develop intellectual capacity
without the advantage and encouragement
of the political franchise He must have
the ballot to protect himself; to enable him
to overcome the effect of preiudices which
would continue him in virtual slavery to
give him a substantial control over his
own position. AS measure Of safety, and
for the support ofGovernment in the South,
he must be allowed to vote.
This is the naked issue Public senti-
ment is very generally coming to the con-
clusion we have indicated. But the move
ment can not and should not be forced. A
revolution so overwhelming and complete,
| requires time. The negroes are to be made
ready, and the loyal people of the South are
to be made willing This is the present
task of the Administration and of the tenn.
porary Provisional Governments Opinion
in the Northern States is right opinion in
the South will be made right. President
Johnson is travelling as rapidly as tile pos
ture of affairs justiies him in doing. Lei
those who are eager for completion of the
revolution have patience, and in due season
all will be well.-Albany Evening JOurn

DEAR SIR: Cur regiment was Yesterday

ness.
About two o'clock p. NJ, violent thun-
der storm visited us. 1t being Sabbath. the
guard mounting" was deferred until two
o'clock, on account of the morning being
occupied in Grand Review. While the old
guard was being turned out to receive The
new guard, binding flash of lightning
was seen, accompanied instantly by a terrif,
&c peal of thunder. The whole Of the old
guard, together With part of the new guard.
were thrown violently to the earth. The
shock was so severe and sudden that i,
most cases the rear rank men were thrown
across the front rank men. One man. ,Jer-
emiah Cooley, of Captain Hunters company
Z, was instantly killed, and thrty-two 9TH
ers were more or less severely burned by the
electric fluid. The men were mostly injured
IN the region of the shoulders, arms and
hips. The men having been standing at
shoulder arms, in which case the ''bdrrel
OF the musket would rest in the hollow of
the right arm and shoulder, the but of the
piece resting against the hip One man
who was on guard in front OF the hospital
tent had his musket knocked from his hands.
and the bayonet struck into the ground.
The man himself was shocked pretty severe
ly, but not thrown down. One man who
had been to the rear and was returning, was
struck down and severely injured in the
eyes. In some instances the mems boots
and shoes were torn from their feet and torn
to pieces, and strange as it may appear, the
men were injured but little in the feet.

Radical Meeting at Boston.

We presume the meeting, called by Gov
ernor Andrew and others, held at Faneuil
Hall, III Boston, last week, to consider the
subject of recognizing the rebellious States,
is but the beginning of movement which
will extend till the right of colored men to
the elective franchise is conceded Theo-
philus Parsons, law professor Of Harvard,
presided. Resolu tons were presented, de-
claring that the work of recognizing the
government and society in the rebels States,
requires of the Legislative and Executive
Departments of the Government the most
deliberate exercise of their powers of
craftsmanship, and that it is far more i'm
portant that the task shall be performed
well, than it should be performed quickly /;
declaring, also that it is essential for the
liberties of our Government that none he
allowed to vote who are not loyal, and that
none should be excluded from voting be
cause of their race or color A resolution,
expressing confidence that President John
sen win carry out the policy for which
Lincoln laid down hiss life, was adopted
with cheers. Mr.. Parsons contended that
the Government should continue to hold the
Southern States in military possession; Mr..
Richard ii. Dana, that the war is not over,
and will not be- until we secure the colored
people right to vote-that if we do not
secure this right now, in the hour of rev.
olution, new revolution will be required /;
Henry Ward Beecher, that suffrage is a
natural, inaIienable right. and exists in
dependently of any conditions of color prop
erty, or ability to read or write Senator
Pomeroy, of Kansas, that, in order to make
the peace we have gained sure and lasting,
we must secure the negro the homestead, the
musket, and the ballot. The meeting last
ed three hours, and committee was ap-
pointed to draft an address to the people Of
the country.
