+A As we have not been deroted admirers
Of the Hon. Ealnucl s. Cox. who has just
closed hts Congressional career, We can with
thc better E:ace applaud Lis very generous
erecch in support Of q vote Of thanks to the
rctiling Speaker, Mr. Coifax, q rival candi-
date and politica. opponent, and also hts
resolution dividing the Committee Of Wars
and Means into three committees: !, q COM
mittcc to bring money in (ways and meana);
2, committee to fay money out {appropria-'
tione}; S, committee on money itself {banks
ind currency As thia will give twenty
seven members TO the business which has
heretofore been done by nine, it will be more
difficult hereafter for any section Of the coun-
t1y through The organization Of the Commit
tee Of Ways and Means to control practically
the legislation Of Congress. II will prove a
valuable reform In view OF the vastly increased
cxiEeueics and necessities Of the Government.
General JOHN Pope has written letter
to Governor Fletcher, Of Missouri, upon the
subject of the jurisdiction Of civil and mill
tary authority. He f.vors the restoration OF
civil authority in that State. He declares
that the number Of guerillas in Missouri
bears ridicrlouely small proportion to tho
inhabitn1ts in apy couuty,'' and takes the
ground that II eyery soldier we're Withdrawn,
the people alone would be able to cxtremi~
nate the robbers and outlaws. He attrib-
utes TIC seeming neglect on their part heTe-
to{ore to free themselves from these pests to
TIC *'alar1ning and fatal tendency to "sur-
render TO the military the execution Of the
laws, and thus abandon MI safeguardsagains
tyranny and oppression, and to pass uncon-
sclously into condition Of acquiescence in
the complete dominion Of military auttor-
Ity."
Governor Fletcher las issued . p7oclama-
ton based on the views Of Gen. Pope. The
Ai:souyi -Rt1,u1lic1x is much delighted with

 She stands apart from all the world Pride reigns majestic on her brow.
 Her lips scornful smile has curled. Of old she vowed herself to truth,
 And she is doomed to live apart Upon her head eternal youth.

 Which she alone may dare to tread. And views nnmoved the endless fight. Where war the living, warred the dead. They tell her that the human race
 The road fo perfect joy has found She knows this wnr d is doomed to trace In light and shade its ancient round. They tell her that the human will
 Has beaten q 'wn the arm "f fate: They tell her that the lord of i'll I Has fallen from his high estate. They boast she lifts no aiding hand, And coldly leam her lustrnns eyes; Outsfretched she sees the children stand To grasp the jewels of the skies. They tell her what their fathers told-- Accustomed accent meet her ear This self same world has grown too old To move her heart with hope or fear. Alone she stands yet tbere are some Now fighting cn the battle plain. On whom her spirit still shall come. When she can love without disdain.

year, to October 81, 1865, w,uid be 1885,
600, 900. Ofthe latter amount $57, ,OOO, 900
will be payable in gold. and the remaining
S2S, 900, ,0JD in currency Allowing that
there are 81 900 900 of ofinhabitan!s in the 10y
al States the debt would be ss4 and some
cents per capita Although this imnensc
debt might not be reduced at once. the in,
crease OF population wluld soon reduce the
per eentlge of the amount; for the popula-
lion of the country increased steadily at a
rate Of per cent. per snnum. which would
soon reduc. the debt If divided among the
Individuals who composed the nation; -

The Lady,s Repentance.

A young lady was addressed by II young
man, though agreeable to her, was disliked
by her father. Of course he could not con.
sent to their union, and she determined to
elope. The next night was fixed, the hour
came, he placed the ladder to the window,
and in few minutes she was in his arms
They mounted a double horse and were
soon some distance from the house. After
a while sho broke the silence by saying:
"Wel, you see what proof | have given
you of my affection; hope you will make
a good husband" He was surly fellow,
and gruffly answered,l perhaps l may, and
perhaps not. =,
She made no reply, but after'a silence of
some minutes. she exclaimed, ooh, what
shall do J.? left my money behined me
in nv room" 'Then," said he, you must
20 and fetch it." They were soon again at
the house, the ladder again placed at the
window, the lady remounted, the lover wal,
ted below But she delayed to come, and
so he gently called, "are you oomingT and
she looked out Of the window and said, per
haps may, and perhap. mott; and then
shut down tho window and left him to re-
turn upon his double horse alone. Was moi
that happy thought on the lady's part-i
famous joke, certainly.

The Planting seasOn.

The season for planting trees is rapidly
approaching. and we urge our readers to
improve it literally. There is nothing SO
cheap, 81 moderate in its demands upon
the husbandmaid and so rich in its reward,
as the cultivation oftruit trees, plants, vines.
In many parts of our country, our people
have sadly neglected. this important duty,
and consequently the result is but very
light yields Of truit, making US dependent
upon foreign markets for our supply of
fruit Oar climate is excellent, none bet
ter could be wished for fruit, and our soil is
splendidly adapted for fruit of every de.
scription, and would well repay the careful
cultivation Of the apple. peach, plumb,
strawberry, grape, sc. We hope our farm
ers will see le this matter at once, and en-
ter into it with the proper spirit, and in q
few years every farm in the country may be
well stocked with choice, young and thri-
wing fruit trees

Ladies Should Read Newspa.
pers.

1t is great mistake in female education,
to keep young lady's time devoted to the
fashionable literature of the day. If you
would qualify her for conversation you must
give her something to talk about-giye her
education with this actual world and its
transpirng events. Use her to read news
papers and become familiar with the pres
ent character and improvement of our race.
History is of some Importance; but the past
world is dead and we have nothing to do
with it. Our thoughts and our concerns
should be for the present world, to know
what it is and improve the condition of it.
Let her have an intelligent opinion, and be
able to sustain an intelligent conversation,
concerning the mental, moral political and
religious Improvement Of our times. Let
the gilded annals and poems of the centre
table be kept part of the time covered with
weekly and daily journals. Let the whole
family-men, women and children-read
the newspapers. i Cooley.
