tion Of the National authority every
where was an indispensable condition
of any assent on our part to whatever
form of peace might bo proposed
The President assured the other party
that while he must adhere to these po-
sitions, ho would be prepared, so far as
the power is lodged with the Executive,
to exercise liberality. Its power, how
ever, is limited by the Constitution, and
when peace should be made Congress
must necessarily act in regard to the
appropriations of money and to admis-
sion of representatives from the insur-
rectionary States.
The Richmond party we're Informed
that Congress had, on the 3lst, adopted,
by the constitutional majority, a joint
resolution submitting to the several
States the proposition to abolish slavery
throughout the Union, and that there
is every reason to expect that it will be
accepted by three-fourths of the States
so as to become a part of the national
organic law. The conference camo tC
an end by mutual acquiesCence, without
producing an agreement of views upor
the several matters disc used, or any o
them. Nevertheless it is perhaps o
some Importance that we have submitted
our opinions and views directly t
prominent insurgents, and to hear then
in answer in q courteous and not un
friendly manner.

A Test of Charaoter.

The use Of money has come in mod
ern society to be test Of character
AS men use money, they use everything,
and everybody. IF they are honest aud
equitable in that, they will be honest
and equitable in other things. If not,
not. The intense and universal pursuit
ofsociety, it follows that men will man
ifest in it what manner ofspirit they are
Of. The eagerness with which they
pursue the main chance absorbs all
other feelings and desires. Even the
eternal laws and ordinances Of God,
which have been established as bull
wark against the mad assaults Of human
passions, are no barrier to the master
passion. 1t may be that the test comes
in matter of mills, or of millions; but
whenever it comes, and however large
or small the transaction is, how few
paratively out of the immense null
titudc engaged in business can lay their
hand on their heart and say, 'I have not
overreachcd or taken advantage, or put
a cent into my pocket that was not hon
estly and clearly my ownl" How few
have so scrupulous sense of honor
and honesty, that they would no more
overreach the government than theiI
own brotherl For besides the amazing
ambition to get rich, another feeling
comes into play. To gain the better o
a man in bargain is accounted smart
ness. The FLIP Of great intellectua
keenness is added to the love of money
There is something peculiarly fascina
ting in being quicker, earlier, brighter
faster than your neighbor. 1t is no
that you care so much about the "ilth
lucrc," oh no, but you are resolved nc
to be beaten in trial of wits. Thus
is that false intellectual pride ofts
joins with the dominant passion G
riches to tramplo the golden rules c
honesty and fair dealing under foot
But in spite of solicitations, how beau
tiful beyond compare is unswerviug VI

Honors Are Easy,

The Brown County News, the Wash.
ington Register, and perhaps, other
Democratic papers in this District, are
very exultant over the fact that our
"worthy Representative in Congress,
Hon. Chiffon A. White" has been ad-
mitted to practice law in the Supreme
Court of the United States. This Of
course, is an honor, but not of very
difficult attainm ment; for about the same
time that Mr.. White was admitted and
sworn in on the recommendation Of
Hon. Geo. H. Pendleton, or few days
afterward, Mr.. Sumner presented John
S. Rock, Lawyer Of Massachusetts, as
black as your hat, for the same honor,
who was also admitted and sworn in
without objection or remark from any
one who had a right to speak
AS between the two gentlemen the
"honors are easy" But there appears
to be a peculiar fitness in these admis
sions so near togethcrl from the fact
that Mr.. White, although hailing from
a State and District overwhelmingly in
favor of abOlishing slavery in the
United States By Constitutional amend.
ment; yet had the cool hardihood t.
both speak aud vote ag ainst it in Con

if Mr.. White should have a case in tn,

may be met by his sooty brother of th'
legal profession on the other side an'
if so, We hope that he will get Aooret

BEARS AND BULLs-These singular
epithots so commonly applied to opera
tors in gold, stocks, 80, are said to
have originated in the London EI-
change about the year 1884.
When two parties contract, the one
to deliver and the other to take stocks
on future day at a certain price, it is
the interest of tho delivering party in
the intervening period to depress stocks
and of the receiving party to raise
them. The former is styled "bear, ,
in allusion to the habit of that animal
to pull things down with his paws, and
the latter "bull," from the custom o
that animal to throw an Objcst up with
his horns.
