OoSaRRss-The next Congress will be
divided as follows. In the Senate, TWEEN
ty-flve States are now represented by
thirty-eight Unionists and eleven Demo-
Gratis, According to the party division
that existed before the war, the House
of Representatives now stands one hun
bred and tOrty Unionlsts to forty'one
Democrats but on the great question
ofat once admitting the Representatives
f the Southern States or keeping them,
or most OF them, for longer period of
probation, it is not probable that the
same proportions will be preserved.
Should all the Southern States now with
out representation, whose Senators and
Representatives are yet to be elected,
choose Democrats opposed to universal
suffrage, as it is to be expected they will
do, and should they all be admitted, the
Senate will then contain forty seven
Unionists and twenty. seven Democrats )
and the House of Representatives would
contain one hundred and fifty Unionists
to ninety-two Democrats.

SENATOR SUMMERS OPINION. - Mr..
Sumner does not at all sympathi2e with
the growing confidence of his party in
the president and his southern policy.
On the contrary he looks upon the stu
alton rs waxing worse and worse. In q
letter 10 the New York independent,
which he praises for it's fidelity to equal
rights, he commits himself anew 10
radical opposition to the presidents
policy and says -
9" To Congress we must look as the
guardian under the constitution Of the
national safety. I do not doubt its full
power over this whole subject; nor do l
doubt it's duty to see that every pretend
ed government organized by recent
rebels is treated as a present nullity.
President Johnson spoke well when, in
Tennessee, he said that In the work Of
reorganization, rebels must take back
seats, leaving place to those who have
been truly loyal There is the keynote
of Just policy, which I trust Congress
will adopt. 1t is difficult to measure
the mischief which has already ensued
from the experiment which has been
made. Looking at the positive loss to
business and the productive industry of
the country it is painful. Looking at
the distress it has caused among loyal
people by the revival of the rebel spirit,
it is heart-rendng. Looking at it in
any way, it is terrible failure. It will
be for Congress TO apply the remedy"

BIBLE REvIsIoN.-The sixteenth an

Union was held in New York onWednes-
day and Thursday. Rev. DR.. Armitage

SEES well. Since the last anniversary the
work on the Old Testament has been re-
commenced by DR.. Conant. DR., Bliss is
still prosecuting his labors for the Union
on the historical books. The coming
year, it is hoped, will be distinguished
by the publication of considerable
portion Of this part Of the Bible. A
pulpit and family testament in large
print, is just published. The poetic parts
have been printed in poetic form, thus
exhibiting the indications of rythm
which appear in the original, and all
the quotations from the Old Testament
are so presented as to leave no doubt
where they commence aad where they

A SINGULAR Story The Macoa Tile
graph tells the following story of the
war;
Il learned on yesterday the circum-
stances OF Il melancholy quandary In
which q Young lady, one of the most
estimabe and lovely in this part OF the
country, was placed, A gallant officer
was heJrothed to her He fell on the
fatal field of Sharpshurg She loved
him dearly, and was afflicted far beyond
what ladies of a moro buoyant temper
would have suffered. She went into
mourning secluded herself from society,
devoted herself to religious aud charita,
Bile deeds, aud was dead To the world
A few months ago, q young gentleman
of great wealth. superior talents, and
handsome person, accidentally formed
her acquaintance in the progress of a
business transaction, He was fascinated
with her; perseyered TIL he overcame
her aversion little by little, and finally
they became engaged 10 be married only
q fortnight ago. She had already made
out her order for an elegant t'opsSeda,
But four days ago, the first lover re-
turned. He had been carried to North
ern hospital from the battlefield, with no
hope of life, and has just been liberated
and returned. He has frightful scar
across his face, and is poor, but in his
bosom burns u manly and noble soul,
The poor girl has shut herself up, aud
will not see either OF them. The meet
ing between her and her first lover the
other day. is said to have been distress
ing His letters had failed to reach her,
and she firmly believed he was dead till
he stood before her, the CHASTITY ruin Of
her lover, once so handsome and mauly,
Poor fellow have caught glimpse
of him once as he passed along the street
with his crutchts ami melancholy face.
God bless him.

Our DISABLED SoLDIERs.-Ther recent
order Of the government in reference to
the Veteran Reserve Corps is of per-
fectly satisfactory character. 1t simply
gives to each man the right of declaring
whether lie Ueoirco to continue I'm th o
service. Those who say they do not are
at once mustered out, and those who
say they do, are retained for the future
action of Congress upon the corps We
doubt not that both the officers and men
of this body who were disabled in the
service OF the country, will be generous
ly dealt with The pensions they re-
ceived when mustered out are very
small, and go but a small way in their
support. On the other hand, their avail
ability for many of the military duties
required in times of peace is equally
great with that of those who are physic-
ally whole and healthy. 1t is an econ
omy of the forces Of the nation to retain
such men in the service.

1t will be seen by these comparative
tables that -four, pork shoulders, butter
cheese and Goldfish, are held at about
three times the value as the same ar
ticles in 1851. While beef, lard and
hams are nearly four times the prices of
that year apples are more than six
prices, wood nearly four chickens, tur-
keys and potatoes about double. Beans
alone bear any relation to former prices
If the comparison was extended
further-into the cost of clothing, dry
goods, and articles Indispensable to the
household-we should find an equal or
larger advance Now if the income Of
the consumer is not advanced in the
same proportion, will some one tell how
he lives unless he has a surplus capital
upon which he draws for current eX-
penses

Why WE SuouLD WEAR BEARps.-On
this subject bearded philosophers have
speculate ed with lrOsr rein giving .rr
exercise To both whip and spur Some
people wear boards TO hyaurity their
countenauces, and hence all lle Elnta--
tie shapes into which they are trimmed
to suit The Individuals idea oG beauty
The hair Tipped man is sure To shaw, ouly
under the chin on the sides of the face
The man with the tumOr on his neck
will perhaps shave his upper lip the
man Of inordiuatcly wide mouth always
goes il biz on mOustaChcS. 4 te" only
allow nature full sway, and suffer the
full beard to grow without clip or clear
ing,
The latest argument for full beard,
and particularly for mOuStaChes, that
we have seen, is done up after this style;
The hair of the mOuStaChe not only
abSorbs the moisture and miasma of the
fOgS, but it strains the air from the dust
and SCOT Of our great smoky cities 1t
acts also in the most scientific manner
by taking heat from he warm breath as
it leaves the chest, aud supplying it TO
the cold air taken In. It is not only
respiratOr, but with the beard entire we
are provided with comforter as well;
and these are never left at home like
umbrellas and all suCh appliances, when
ever they are wanted. The remarkable
thing is, too that the beard like the hair
of the head, protects against the heat Of
the sun; 1t acts as a thatCh does to an
iCe-hOuSc but, more than this, 1t be
comes moist with the perspiration, AID
then, by evaporation, COols the skin. a
man who accepts this protection of ma
ture may face the rudest storm and the
hardest winter. He may 90 from the
hottest room into the coolest air with
out any dread and we verify believe he
might sleep in q morass with impunity
at least his chance of escaping the
terrible fever would be better than his
beardless companions.
There is another respect in which the
beard is like the thatch. 1t takes up the
dust, especially when moist with per
spiratiOn, and makes perfect jungle for
the accommodation Of small insects,
vulgarly called vermn.
But then, it is not TO disparagc long,
shaggy, dirty boards that we write, but
rather to express our regrets that the
Creator should have been SO unmindful
of the beauty, comfort and health of the
most delicate portion Of human creation,
the ladies'. How the must suffer through
lack of beard and moustaChes With
no such protection, no such "thatch, -
why are they not all stamped with the
fatal seal of sickness and death Why
are they ever free from the hacking
cough and the bronchitis? Poor Crea-
lures, how they are neglected What
superior care and attention has been be
slowed upon the superior animal,

TEMPERANCE. - The first quarterly
meeting of the East Hampden Mass
Temperance Union was held in the town
of Munson on Tuesday, October 81.
Although the attendance was small, the
meeting was interesting. The speakers
were earliest, and spirit Of devotion to
the cause was manifest throughout all
the proceedings. A series of pungent
resolutions was passed, declaring in
favor of Town Temperance Leagues to
assist in carrying the Temperance Law;
that it Is the duty Of every Christian not
only to abstain himself, but to do all he
can to suppress the sale Of intoxicating
liquors that no quarter should be
shown to those whose business is an
open violation Of the law, and ruinous
to the youth of the land that the
Deputy Constable of Hampden county
shall be sustained; that Constable Kings
Sunday order is a movement in the
right direction and that the efforts of
Rev. B. +. Clark and others to secure a
license law from the last legislature re-
ceived just rebuke from that body.
The last two resolutions we give entine {:
Resolved, That the experience Of the
last four years has taught US that adher-
ing strictly to old political party lines is
both dangerous and impolitic, " Wise
men change their minds, fools never"
that the sustaining the laws under
which we live is our only refuge that
the time has come in which temperance
must be made an issue Of the polls that
owing to the shortness of the time be-
tween this and the day of election, it is
inexpedient to make separate nOmina-
ton for senator III this district. There
fore we recommend the voters to do
their utmost to secure the election OF
that man who will best represent us at
the Senate board.
Resolved, That the opposition Of the
Boston daily press against the Sunday
law shows how much it was needed and
that, for the sake Of the lQaves and fishes
of the grog shops, they were willing tC
bow the knee Of 'Baal."

IMPORTANT DECISION. - The United
States Circuit Court in Cincinnati decl-
ded an important case last Monday, in
which the Western Union Telegraph
Company were plaintiffs, and the United
Telegraph Company defendants. The
railroad company from Cincinnati 10
Dayton had given plaintiffs the exclusive
right to construct telegraph line along
the road. Defendants, under the laws
of Ohio, condemned the right of way
and built their line. Plaintiffs sought
to restrain the defendants from thus
using the property, The Court decided
in favor Of the latter. The case is one
Of general importance, and We learn that
it will be argued before the Supreme
Court the coming winter. The power of
q railroad company to grant exclusive
rights to any telegraph company will be
disputed on the groud that it j, a mo-.
nopoly.

THE new GOLD NoTEs. Five millions
Of the sO,called gold notes arrived at
the Sub Treasury in New York last
week. They are printed by a patent
process in gold ink, and are very hand
somely executed. They bear no inter-
est, and are in denominations Of from
$40 to $4,000, each representing so
much gold in the Treasury of the United
States. They may be received at par in
payment Of duties on imports, and the
holders Of coupon sbonds may receive
their interest on notes or coin as they
may prefer. When the Department sells
gold the buyer can take the real article
or the paper representation at his OPP
ton. 1t is claimed that the possession of
so large a quantity Of gold will enable
the Secretary of the Treasury to control
the market and regulate the price Of
gold and foreign exchange. The Tresrs-
ury will receive gold and give notes for
the amount, payable on demand, and
will neither charge anything for keep
ing the gold safe, nor allow any interest
for use. We shall thus soon have the
rather singular circulation OF Govern
ment notes representing widely different
standards OF value-the greenback dol
lsr, and the gold nete representing the
dollar in ssia.

RICHMOND. The Enquirer, Of Rich
mond, gives o glowing picture of the
new prosperity Of that city, We are
told that
"The ascending walls and swiftly
changing scenes from theatre Of ashes
and destruction to vistas Of industrial
monuments, grow. upon the senses as
dreams grow and accumulate upon the
Imagination. The merchants Of Rich
mond, beginning the new era without
money and almost without friends, are
now, by their own efforts, regaining with
sure and steady steps the path of their
former prosperity, and opening q still
broader avenue TO still more extensive
success. In the encouraging display of
"the mind to resolve, the will to exc
cute" which finds expression in the
daily scenes Of industry and progress
about us, must be seen a future Rich
mond far exceeding in all the attributes
Of wealth and influence the Richmond

RECONSTRUCTION AND READMIssION.---
The Georgia state convention did not
wait to be officially informed as to Pres
ident JOhuson's desire for the repudi-
alton of the rebel state debt but the
Governor nevertheless, sent to that body
on Monday the dispatches from the Pres
ident saying that point would be insls-
ted upon The reorganizing states now
understand pretty well what they must
do to"resume their places in the Union"
They must abolish slavery in their own
constitutions, adopt the anti-slavery
amendment Of the United States con-
stituti0n, give civil rights and prOtec-
ton to the freedmen, and repudiate all
debts incurred by rebellion. 1t is be-
lieved that nearly all will accept these
terms in full, either by the action of
their conventions or legislatures, or
both If so, Congress will at least give
fair and favorable consideration to the
claims of their members to seats. 1t
must be exceedingly unpleasant for the
democrats, who do not believe that any
conditions Precedent TO Te-admissiOn
can be justly imposed, to pretend to
stand for the presidents plan. And
they probably will not do it after the
New York election.
