The change that has come over the
spirit of HENRY WARD BEECHER's dreams
is one of the most curious phenomena
in the political herizon. He deliver a
stump speech in Plymouth church last
Sunday; taking for a text, "Thus far the
Lord hath led u.s." and proceeded to ex-
press his thorough and hearty endorse
ment of President JOHNSON, and even
called General LEE "a Christian gentle
man" Mr.. BEEcHER is understood to be
principal Editor of the New York hide
peadent, a newspaper that has uniformly
denounced President JOHNSON, and, we
believe, insisted upon the hanging of
General LEE. What has occurred to
move the reverend politician to such
lsudatioD of the President AZ is contain
ed in his sermon, "so-called," delivered
last Sunday, is rather difficult to divine
He probably means to change his base"
and, having failed to accomplish any
thing by denunciation, will now test the
value of flattery We doubt if he will
accomplish more on that line than he
did on the other.

The Ope.ing Of Cengress.

Mr.. MCPHKRsoN, clerk of the House OF
REPRESENTATIVES., is reported as saying
that he will not place upon the roll, at
the opening of Congress, the names OF
members elected in the Southern States.
BY what shadow of right he hopes to
Justify this contemplated action is diff
cult to see. These States have been re-
constructed and supplied with loyal
State governments. They acknowledge
the supremacy of the government OF the
United States, and are as really members
of the federal Union as they ever were.
Their congressman will come to the CAPT
tai duly accredited and complying with
all the legal conditions required of them,
The nation is at peace, and the constitu-
ton and the laws are in full force
throughout all our territory. By what
right, then, will Mr.. MCPHERSON assume
the authority to exclude from the organ
ization of the House, the delegates from
any portion of the States9 His act will
be simply bigh-handed violation of law
and such an offence as would justify bis
indictment and punishment by the courts

the Asiatic Cholera, is rapidly making

still they have been severe. 1t has made
its appearance at Southampton, in Eng

alarm exists in New York City, and Wig

We, too, should be prepared. There is
no time to be lost. Not only in this city
but in many of the smaller towns in the

IT is stated that General WADE HAMP-
TON has been elected Governor OF South
Carolina, in spite of his positive declina-
ton to be candidate. The first returns
received were from the most easily acces-
sible portions of the State, and indicated
the election of ex-Speaker ORR, because
in these HAMPToN's declination was
known, but in the more remote precincts
whose returns were latest received, the
people voted for HAMPTON, and it is
probable that he has been elected.

blair and the Radicals.

Major General FRANK BLAIR made q
speech recently at Rolla, Missouri, in
which he assaulted the radicals with a
bitterness equalled only by that mani
tested by his brother MONTGOMERY in
his late speech before the Democratic
meeting in New York. The speech is full
Of the fieIy sloquence for which the
BLAIRs are noted and points out to the
people the sad condition to which Mis-
souri, has been reduced by the proscrip-
tive policy inaugurated by the radicals
in that State. The measures adopted BY
the Missouri radicals are similar TO those
which the same party has been laboring
to carry outin West Virginia, and the
most odious and tyrsnical features of the
new constitution Of that State are those
which have been warmly endorsed by the
Republican organ here. What the, radi.
Gals have made Missouri these, super OK.
cellent loyalists would make West yir.
ginia.
General BLAIR exposes the intention
and motive animatipg this radical party
~ follows:
The radical policy not only includes
negro suffrage throughout the South. but
the disfranchisem ont of large majority
OF the whites in the same region. The
result would ne q black republic with
white men for subjects, not citizens.
New England is especially and fiercelT,
bent upon carrying out this horrit.ia
programme. Whya Her brood of i'm.

We never remember to have seen the
field canvassed from the point of view
here chosen. We present it for the sage
consideration Of our fair readers.
No one will contend that there are no
crimes committed by married men. Facts
would look such an assertion out Of coun.
tenance. But it may be said with truth
that there are very few crimes committed
by married men compared with the mum
Der committed by those who are unmar-
ried. Whatever fault Voltaire may have
had he certainly showed himself a man
of sense when he said f: "The more mar
ried you have the fewer crimes there will
be. Marriage renders a man more vir-
tuous and more wise" An unmarried
man is but half of a perfect being, and
it requires the other half to make things
right and it cannot be expected that in
this imperfect state be can keep the
straight path of reclitude. any more than
boat with one oar, or bird with one
wing, can keep straight course. In nine
cases out of ten. where married men com.
nit crimes against the peace of the com
muuity. the foundation of these acts was
laid while in a single state. or where the
wife is, as sometimes the case, an insult
able match. Marriage changes the whole
current of a mans feelings, and gives him
centre for bis thoughts. his affections
and his acts. Here is home for the en-.
lire man, and the counsel, the affections,
the example and the interests of his
"betfer half" keep him from erratic
courses, and from falling into a thousand
temptations to which he would otherwise
be exposed. Therefore, the friend to
marriage is friend to society and to his
country. And we have no doubt but a
similar effect is produced by marriage on
the woman; though from the difference
in their labors and the great exposure to
temptation on the part of the man. we
have no doubt the man resps a great
er advantage from the restraining in
flueRces of marriage than woman does
But as our Heavenly Father said. at
very early period in the existence of bu
man being: ut is not good for either to
be alone"

The letter, which is Of private charac-

BRowELow ON NEGROES IN MEMPHIS -
A census is being taken of the colored
people Of Memphis, and enough has been
developed to show that the aggregate
number of blacks will overreach twenty
thousand, it * said will reach twenty five
thousand. This congregaling in cities
and towns of such crowds of colored folks,
70 r.r i'' Sc. ard on raicns furnish
cd by ,he Government is all wrong. 1t is
doing the blacks an injury that will show
itself after a while. All sorts of depre.
dations are committed by the blacks. and
difficulties arise between them and the
whites. Instead Of being allowed to con.
gregate at few prominent points in such
large numbers, to live in Idleness. and TO
become shamefully demoralized. they
should be distributed upon abandoned
farms, and put to work 10 support them
selves. They have this to do in the end,
and the sooner they are taught to rely
upon their own exerions the better it
will be for them and the society. The
presence of armed negro troops, unless
strict discipline is observed, is great
evil and serves to paralySe the whites
feeling that the military power is on
the side of the troops. and most of the
troops being arrogant, and feeling that
they are armed, while those they insult,
and brow beat are uDarmed. The nation.
al and State authorities are ultimately to
become very much exercised upon the
important subject of what is to be done

The WOMEN OF THE SoUTH.-That mis-

women had, thousands were forced into
