Character better than credit.


We often hear young men who have no
means dolefully contrasting their lot with
that of rich mems sons. Yet the longer we
live the more we are convinced that the old
merchant was right, who said to us when
we begun to live, Industry, my lad is bet
ter than ignots of gold, and character more
valuable.than credit, F"
We could furnish, il need were, truth of
his remarks. In all branches of business,
in avoeations, in the long run, it is the best
capital "" 'e9
Says Poor Richard:
The sound of your hammer at five o'clock
in the morning, or nine at night, heard by
. creditor makes him easy for six. months
longer; but if he sees you at gaming table
or hears your voice at tavern, when you
sho'd be at work, he sends for his money
the next day." % '.-
What is true Of the young merchanic, is

in the Republican
Camp

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Ne,cs, under late date, alleges
that ''the course which General Sherman is
pursuing in Goreia is creating no little ex-
citement in the Republican camp at Wash
ington City" The reason for this commo-
ton is stated to be, that that distinguish
ed and successful military commander is ev-
identity bent upon pursuing policy in or
der to crush the rebellion and restore the
Union, is entirely at variance with the views
of the radical politicians. .a- ... ~
This statement is verified by Col. For
neys suggestion that ''the Generals in COM
mand of the armies, and the Admirals in
command Of the navies, Of the Republic, "
twill be enabled to give such counsel as can
not be overestimated by the civil authori-
ties, . derived from their knowledge of the
people among whom they have fought dur
ing four bloody years, and that this
counsel" so derived, will be against any
thing like rash, inpulsive and dangerous
legislation. 7 Perhaps gentlemen in the
ADMINISTRATION rank ray ascertain before
long that Col Conncl is not Us far out Of
the way with his resolutions as they have
been led to believe. e.-StQtesa,da.

Arbitrary Arrests.

We take the following extract from The
Cincinnati Cdzettes Washington cUrrespon-
dence. of a late date. 1t is about time the
Republicans were walking up to the arbi-
trary arrest system +' ''.'l
EXCITING scENE IN THE HOUSE. '
A sensation was Unexpectedly produced
in the House to-day by Thad, Stefens' eff
fort TO prevent an1investigatiOn, ordered a
day or two ago, ito the arrest and confne-
ments in the Oh Capitol Prison He
sought to put it On the ground of an at
tack on the Administration, and thus array
a party majority ahainst it; but Winter Da-
Wis came out in strong Speech against the
violation of law involved in many Of thes ar
rests, and was followed by ringing speech
from Kasson, of IOwa, who went so far as
to denounce the coarse of the Secretary of
War himself. At this stage OF the discus
sion, Mr.. Garfield entered the hall, and an
nounced that the Military comihitte had al
ready begun the Investigation, and such
outrages had already been developed that
he implored the House not to stop. Under
this pressure the yeas and nays were called,
and just the pumber in the whole House, in
cluding Thaddeus Stevens and Spaulding,
voted not to suspend the investigation. 1t
is understood that the party likely to be
found guilty of the outrages now being ex-
posed, is the disreputable detective whom
the War Department. permits to make ar
rests in it's name The investigation prom
ises to leave him ina bad predicament. 1t
was sworn before the committee to-day, bv
an officer in the Old Capital that there was
not person about the prison who did not
believe, this detective to be a scoundrel. -
One case exposed to-day is that of Colonel
who had done honorableservice in the field,
who was arrested without charges, aud has
been held in confinement six months with
out trial, and who to-day swears that he had
not the remotest idea what he was arrested
for. and can eet nobody to tell him.

A Point welE Made.

Judge Bliss, the sterling Democratic
member in Congress from the l4th Congress
sional District, in hisspeech On the propOs-
cd amendment to the Constitution, made
this excellent point a..n gr. laH .Iima.
''Are the States whose people, in part, are
in rebellion against the general Govern
ment, out of the Union iIl theory and in
fact2 Are they foreign Powers, and their
inhabitants foreign people, not subject to
tho Constitution and laws of the United
Statesp If SO, why do we raise and send
mighty hosts to enforce, by the sword, the
bayonet, and the cannon, obedience and
subjugation to that Constitution and to those
laws? If the people of the so-called seceed-
ed States are citizens in the Union, why are
our courts engaged, under an act Of Con
gress, in confscating their estates for acts
of treason against their Government Trea-
son implies citizenship; it cannot. be com
mitted by an alien or an enemy. If those
States are not out of the Union in theory Of
law, and if their people own the allegiance
to the Government of the United States
which Is claimed of them, then clearly those
States are among the number Of States
three -foprths of whom must unite their
lgiGes ui.Qn a4y proposition 10 amend their
Constitution.

A CONQUEST WITHOUT LAuREIs. Nor
should these Abolitionists fatter themselves
that, if they can succeed in their object of
uniting the people Of the free States, they
will enter the contest with numerical supe-
riorIty that must insure victory. All histo-
ry and experience proves the hazard and un-
certainty of war. And we are admonished
by holy writ that the race is not to the swift,
nor the battle to the strong. But if they
were to conquer, whom would they conquer?
A foreign foc-one who had insulted our
flag, invaded our shores, and laid our coun-
try waste? No, sir; no, sir. Itwould be
a conquest without laurels, without glory-a
self, suicidal conquest--ac conquest of bro
thers over brothers, achieved by one over
another portion of the descendants of con-
mon ancestors who, noby pledging their
lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor,
had fought and bled, side by side, in many
hard battle on land and ocean, severed our
country from the British crown, and estab-
lished our national independence. Henry

A boy sixteen years of age was brought
before the police court, Paris, charged with
stealing and begging in the public street.
He was a bright, fine looking boy, but very
poorly clad, and when brought before the
judge he fell upon his knees and begged not
to put him in prison; that his mother was
sick and starving, and that alone had driven
him to steal; that he could not find work;
and if he was imprisoned the disgrace would
kill his poor mother. The judge seemed
somewhat moved by the boy $ story, but he
nevertheless, after hearing the evidence,
condemned him to six weeks ilnprison-
Mcnt. ......... ...r.... ...,,r.,.
As the boy was being led away, q poor
woman. pale, covered with rags, and her
hair in disorder, forced her way through the
crowd, aud tottcring up to the boy, passed
one arm around him; and then turning to
the judge, pushed back her long black hair,
and exclaimed: "Do you not recogrizc NO,
Thirteen years passed since you deserted
me, leaving me'alone with ny child and MY
shame; but have not forgotten you, and
this boy, whom you have condemned, is
your son. ... ...'..
You may imagine the effect this announce
ment produced OIL bystanders The Judge,
in loud voice, ordered the woman to be
carried from the court, and then left it HIM

Keep COOL is good motto, always. No
body ever injured himself by being cool
and circumspect in deeds and diction, but
thousands have gone to ruin by giving way
to hasty temper and disposition to act
precipitately. when tempted to throw a
stone, " says an old writer, first ascertain
if you can doit without STOPPING; If not. let
it alone" Better advice could not be given;
for although revenge is sweet, its means
are generally degrading; and although it is
gratifying to cast rocks at one we dislike, it
is impossible to do it without stopping most
ungracefully to procure missile for the
purpose, So keep cool! by all means. Let
others fret, and fume, and grow indignant;
but ever nlaintain if you can, an equanimi-
ty that is proof against the Establishments
