Everybody who knows anything about
Senator McDugaH, Of Cahiornia. vas
greatly surprised that 40 inveiefata /.

the CCnking Representation Amendment.
The manner and cause Of the vote are
thus explained by a CO respondent
The most remarkable feature Of the
vote of the Senate on Friday, was the re-
cord of Senator MeDouRall 10 the aflrn.a-

will probably surprise the distinguished
Senator himself when his mental and
physical condition enables him to enter
tain such an emotion as surprise. The
time having been fixed for the vote,
each side had been assldGOus ia muster
ing its force, aud, for the FIRST time in
more than week, there was a full Sem
ate, with the exception Of three mem bers
absent on the sick list and unable to ae-

10 the day, In his normal condition of iue-
briefy, but none doubted that he had
Judgment enough left for a good, square,
Democratic vote. Immediately before
the final vote was taken, the yeas aud
nays had been called on half dozen ex-
treme radical prop 9sItiOns, none OF which
had found more than eight alternatives.
At last the original resolution Of the
Committee of Fifteen was voted on
When McDougalls name was called, he
responded. distinctly and clearly aye.
The Clerk looked at him. the Senators
looked at bin, and the galleries locked

constituent still further. There was 20
longer any mistake about it--the Califor-
MIA Senator had gone over to the Radical

who sat next to McDougail, touched him
gently on the shoulder and remarked,

JOSEPH Crele was born of French pa

1925. The record of his baptism in the
Catholic church in that city establishes
this fact beyond "a doubt He was a res

amending the Constitution. acting for all
future time, It behoOves them to be
/ governed by broad and deep principles.
i There we're those in Congress who be-
i lleYed that the negro should have the
suffrage az once. but the people of Con-
necticut and of Ohio could not consist
emily urge this measure when they re-
] fused to permit 5 handful of intelligent
! colored people to vote. President j Ohm
son said he was willing to extend tho
| suffrage to every black soldier who wore
the uniform of the United States army
and who could read or write. He (Sena-
/ tor Sherman) thought that was right
/ The South would see it TO be to their in
T terest, if they wanted increased political
power, to gradually extend the suffrage to
the coiOred people. He thought the
suffrage might be extended 20 the negroes
IN the District OF Columbia, because Con
gress had power over the question, and
because they we're we'll informed aud 10y
al. During the war, all the negroes had
been faithful to the Union, and helped
Northern soldiers IN prison to escape. and
therefore the President and Congress
we're bound to protect the negroes of the
South In all their civil rights. That led
him TO speak Of the last point upon which
it was said there was difference between
the President and Congress The Presi-
dent was opposed TO extending the suffrage
to negroes in the District of Columbia,
but because he believed In the doctrine of
popular sovereignty. The Senator then
alluded to the passage of the first and of
the recent Freedmens Bureau bill, and
said that the President only exercised his
constitutional right of vetOing it but he
(the speaker) had the authority of Gen.
Howard for saying that he never asked
Andrew JOhnson for any power TO pro
tect the freedmen of the South but that
power was amply and freely given. ZAP
plause. The principal reason why he
(SenatOr SheFman) supported the bill
was because he was desir0us of protecting
the negroes who were settled on the Sea
Island plantations, and he was pleased to
know that thf military power would co1-
tInue to protect them. There were no
vital differences Of opinion between the
President and Congress to alarm any
Union man, and it was his abiding con
yiction that Audrew johnson never
would throw the power the loyal people
gave him into the hands OF the Copper
head party of the United States No
oajohng could draw him from the
right line, for he was a man who fought
his own battles, although he might hght
them sometimes IndIscroetly.
In conclusion, he spoke Of a PROPOSE
ton which q distinguished COpperhea1
made to a loyal Democrat (GOv. TODD IN
Ohio, TO revive the Democratic party,
which the latter thought would be a very
good thing, when she Union party had
failed to comply with the obligations it
had assumed to pay the national debt
and TO pay the pensions Of the widows

SUCCESS IN LIFE.

Keep the law Of duty now ever before
you-let it be your never failing pillar of
light Be brave, and on the square with
your conscience to the last. Your success
10 life may not be equal to your hopes or
your deserts; it IS not In man to insure
success. The best and Wisest of US may
fail in the struggle; but we may have our
consolation even then. To gain the
worlds applause, and snatch its heetlng
spoils, is not mans sole and proper bust
ness here. Immortality smiles forth on
the scene, and beckons him ever onward
for those eternal hOnors which the world
can neither give nor take away-the prize
which all may strive for, and 40 one strive
Ia vain.-Dr. Markham

If you should Ger get married, John,
I'll tell you what to do
Go get d6tle tenement
just big enough for two,
And one spare room for company,
And one spare bed within it.
If you'd begin loves life Alright
You'd better thus begin it.
In furniture be moderate, John,
And lei the stuffed chairs wait;
One loOklng-glass viii do for both
Yourself and loving mate,
And brussels, too, and other things
Which make fine appearance,
If you can well afford it, they
VIII better look a year hence.
Some think they must have pictures, John,
Superb and costly. too;
Your wife viii be picture, John,
Let that suffice for yOu.#
Remember that the wise man said
A tent, and love within it,
Is better than a splendid house,
With chickering's every minute.
And one word as TO cooking, John,
Your wife can do that best;
For love, to make the biscuit rise,
Is better far than yeast.
No matter if each day you don't
Bring turkey to your table,
Twill better relish by and by,
When you are better able.
For all you buy pay money, John
Money that very day
If you would have your life run smooth,
There is not better way.
A note to pay is an ugly thing,
IF thing you please to call it,
When it hangs DER man who has
No money in his wallet
And one thing more remember, John,
To keep alOOf from strife,
And never, 75e0eT, NEVER speak
A cross word t. your wife.
But if you cannot keep it back,
And burnings still require it.
Go whisper it into your gun,
And then-go out aud fire it.
And now, when yOu are married, John,
Don't try to ape the rich
1t took them many tcilsome wear
To gain their envied niche:
And If you'd gain the summit, John,
Look we'll to your beginning,
And then viii all you win repay
The care and toll of winning.

a bouncing girl, with laughing eye, to a
