WHo WAS REASONABLE Much has been said
about the suiferings Federal prisoners have en-
dnred from the inability of Confederate author-
ties TO properly provide for them, and the refusal
Of the United States authorities to exchange them
In February, 1865, the week of the evacuation of
Wilmington, NJ. CT, several Thousand Federal pris-
oners were collected at Wilmington to be ex-
changed. But when a flag of truce was sent to
Schodeld4o know il he would receive them, he re-
piled to Htke that It was no time for an exchange
Of prisoners, ard they had to bessAnt back again
to the interior OF North Carolina. In reference to
this, Gen. Bradley T. johnson, in his examination
on the trial Of Maj. Gee, at Raleigh, on Friday,
said bN
Q. Doyou know any difficulty you had about
getting these prisoners exchanged after transport
ng them2
a, Yes, sir. I have two hundred and fifty tele
grams on the exchange.
Q. Did you transport them, and they were re
fused by the United States authorities?
"a. Yes, sir, can give the kilograms of Gems
Bragg, Baker and Hoke on this subject, that the
United States authorities refused TO receive them
the prisoners were larger at Salisbury than was
anticipated 5slF

A BiT OF GossIP.-No exhibition ever takes
place without its own peculiar bit of gossip. That
of this year is racy enough. In the middle of the
Hall of HonoF-in the best light aud under the
brightest auspices--was hung the favorite picture
of her maiesty's favorite painter II represented
8 lady of fair lexiOn-slight, delicate, English
looking surrounded by every token Of wealth and
distinction The painter reckoned much upon this
picture for confirmation of the verdict which has
awarded him the post of painter Of all the warm
and Beuehe-like pictures with which her majesty
loves to adorn the walls of her private apartments
IN TIE royal palaces Of France. and was looking
forward with great eagerness TO the effect he pro
diced upon The public by his coioring.
The Empress arrived, She stood for moment
aghast before the painting then, turning to NJ. de
Nienkerse, asked, in an angry and offended tone,
to whose audacitg was owing the position of this
portrait in the most conspicuous place in the
room Poor Nienkerke stammered forth some
excuse. He canld only offer to remove it to some
other side of the exhibition he could not return
il 90 the painter, as suggested by her Majesty, who
was peremptory and absolute in her demand. The
picture, however, was taken away, and removed
TO the most obscure and unfrequented Of the
rooms, where the scripture pieces, done by young
artists for provincial chapels are all hung up ont
OF the way Of observation or criticism.
The lady whose portrait is here seen Haunting
among the saints and martyrs, is one of. those
lucky ones Oh this earth on whom nature, fortune,
chance and every other power seem TO smile. 4
royal admirer once gave her to choose which
hand she Would prefer, As ne held b0th his hands
closed before him, she tapped the left hand
and laughed. Ii contained shares in Java
securities worth many millions, which he had
taken from the drawer Of bis bureau by
mistake for bonds of little value. But lie wal
too much of a gentleman to ask for them again
and 50 the lady, worth more than fifteen mil
lions of francs, SO they say reclines in a car
riage lie that Of the Empress, drawn by foul
horses from the royal admirers stables, dresses
like her majesty, and in short has ended by chas-
ing the poor aperor into the side alleys Of the
Bots de Boulogue, SO great is the annoyance at
beholdng this 9doubls,i forever at her side. The
disappointment is more bitter to the painter, but
the fair lady nds consolation ia the reflection that
this persecution by showing her majesty's dread,
ahoWs at the same time her own power

Political Preaching.

The following IS an extract from letter Of
the Hon. Jeremiah s. Black, of Pennsyl-
yania, on the subject of political preaching.
mo one viii deny that the union OF church
and States is always the cause Of bad gov
ernment, perverted religion and corrupt NOR
ais. do not mean merely that legal union
which exists in European countries. That is
bad enough, but you have less common sense
than 1 give You credit for if you do not see
that this adulterous connection assumes its
most polluting form when the church IS vol
UNFAIRLY prostituted by her own ministers to
political party in popular government
The evil influence of such a connection is
easily accounted for. Both of them in COM
binatiOn will do what either would reeoil
from if standing alone A politician, backed
by the promise Of the clergy to sustain him,
can safely defy honesty and tFample upon
law; for, do what he may, he is assured Of
clerical support here and of Heaven hereaf-
ter. The clergy on the other hand, and those
who are under their influence, acquire the
art of praising indiScriminateiy whatever is
done by their public men. Acting and wait
ing upon one another, they 60 down togeth-
er IN the direction Of the pit that is bottom
less, and both are found to live strange ala
Gritty at sinking A minister who admires
and follows such men as those VINO have
lately ruled and ruined this country must nee
essarily despise the character Of Christ. If
he gloriies the cruelty, rapacity and false
hood OF his party leaders, he is compelled, by
an inAexible law of human nature, "to deny
the Lord who bought him.

disadvantage 0: the people, we leave for the
iuture to disclose-CPper Sandusky Union.
What Appear. a Pretty Safe Estinass.

1t IS considered a safe estimate bv persons
who have given the subject full and candid
consideration, that one third of the pubbo
debt has grown out Of the incompetencV,
thrieing and rascality Of men who have been
throughout the last five years entrusted with
affairs OF the country. In times Of War, in
telligent men expect that scoundrels viii get
into place, through professions Of "lovaltv."
and when in place viii plunder the Govern
ment; but such scoundrelism and robbery
was never before praedeed under any Cover
ment, as has been practiced upon out Cover
ment, during the last FIVE years.
We say the Government has been plunz
deTed by these sharpers. This may not be
stating the facts with precise accuracy. It is
the people who have been plundered. Were
1t not Tor this plundering the taxes of the
people would be one-third less their expen-
ses OF living would be one-third less. and
hence they would in every respect be one
third better off than they now are. While
this fact stands out in bold relief, the people
can not take to themselves the satisfaction of
drawing good hearty breath of relief over
the belief that their plundering is over. The
pluncering goes on through one legislative
scheme and another. In no way can this
plunderlng be stopped except by changing
the Republican Congressman not by chang
ing the Republican for another Republican,
but by electing Democratic candidates in their
stead. That's the way to do the business so
as to bring satisfactory results.
You may cry retrenchment and reform uns
til you contract q chronic hoarseness; but for
all the good twill do you, if you shall vote
Tor the Republican candidates, you might as
well sing ditties to the moon. There can be
no relief for the people-there can be no nit
igation in taxatiOn-there can be no improves
ment in the material condition of the labor
ing men, Of mechanics, and of the business
men generally, until the whole Republican
party is turned out of power by the agency
of the ballot. It is for them to exercise this
agency, if they want to improve their con-
dition and put a complete stop to the sWindl-
ing through which they are in a fair way Of
being tied to permanent poverty.-Statssmsn
