EpIrrso A NEWSPAPER. - There are
people who think it an easy matter to
edit q newspaper ; there are men who
think any man Of education can succeed
in the profession. But the truth is, there
are comparatively few men who succeed
in it, and for the reason that they do not
regard it as a profession, requiring study
and preparation. 1t is also a laborious
profession, where pursued with industry
suficien. to insure success. The London
Daily Post furnishes a paragraph which
gives a great deal of truth in q few lines /:
"a good editor, q competent newspa-
per conductor. is, like a general or poet,
born-not made. On the London daily
papers all the great historians, novelists,
poets and writers Of travels have been
tried, and nearly all have failed. We
might say all, for after a display of bril-
liancy, brief. but grand, they died out lit
orally. Their u were exhausted.
II can," said q late editor of the Times to
Moore, find any number Of men of
genius to write for me, but very seldom
one Of common sense" Nearly all sue
|. cessful editors have been men Of this de.
scription. Campbell, Carlyle, Bulwer
and D,Israeli failed; Barnes, Sterling and
Phillips succeeded. A good editor sci.
dom writes for his paper /; he reads,
judges, selects, dictates, alters and CON-
bines ; and to do all this well, he has but
little time for composition. To write for
q paper is one thing-to edit q paper is
another" .ET%E

THERE is q house at West Point, Gentry
county, Mo-, which has the reputation Of
being "haunted." Balls Of fire, resem-
bling electricity, have been seen flying
about the house at night, and often, sud-
denly, tho windows have been illumi-
mated, as if with brilliant lights-and then
again all has become darkness. These
phenomena occurred when no person was
living in the tenement. When occupied,
it is said that the residents were so an
noyed and terrified by sights Of "spooks,"
apparitions, unearthly sounds, and by the
falling of dishes, furniture, etc., that they
were glad to escape from the place. OF
late it has been bought and is to be occu-
pied by a discharged U. S. soldier. who
thinks that as he has stood the fire Of the
rebels for about four years, he will not be
frightened by ghosts, "spooks," or any
thing of the kind.

THE FENIAN DIFFICULTIES IN
NEW YORK.

The New York Sun Of December 18th
contains the following concerning the re-
ported difficulties in the Fenian Congress.
Il will be seen that affairs were not so bad
as had been reported, and members OF the
Brotherhood in Nevada have no cause to
lose confidence in the management at
headquarters:
At the Senate Chamber, 734 Broadway,
a large amount Of business was transact
ed. James Gibbons, of Philadelphia, was
chosen President Of the Senate. He is an
old member Of the organization, and has
devoted q large portion OF his time, and
donated a considerable sum of money to
the Fenian cause. He is held in high es-
timntion by the members Of the Order re-
siding in Pennsylvania. 2. ORourke,
Esq, was elected Treasurer. and imme-
diately gave bonds in $4,000 for the
proper performance OF the duties Of his
office. In addition to this a Board Of
three trustees were appointed, viz: VIM.
Sullivan, Of Tifin, Ohio James Gibbons,
of Philadelphia, and Edward l.. Cary, Of
New York--who are charged with the
duty of countersigning all the drafts upon
the Treasury {; besides a general oversight
Of financial matters ; a mode Of securing
the funds which abundantly proves that
| the Senators intend to keep faithful watch
and ward over the I" sinews of war" that
may be subscribed by those who earnestly
desire the money to be expended for the
freedom of Ireland.
Among the statements that have been
circulated respecting the Fenian difficulty,
not, a few are discovered to be base fabri-
cations. manufactured by the partizan zeal
of former otice-holders. for effect among
the ignorant members Of the order. The
facts appear TO be as follows: President
Roberts defies any n TO produce his au-
,horiza,ion for the %extravagant expendi-
ture of money IN obtaining or fitting up
the Union Square headquarters. The
green flag (Which was to have been paid
for with his own check for $50 drawn and
handed over for that purpose) was simply
loaned until another could be procured.
Afterward Mr.. Roberts is understood to
have donated the flag, and thereupon his
check for $50 was refused. Mr.. O'Rorke,
who was charged with loaning Sl7S,0OO
of the Fenian funds, is understood never
10 have had that amount in his custody,
and declares positively that the statement
is a weak invention of the enemy, for he
never loaned a single dollar Of Fenian
funds to any man or concern, for any pur-
pose whatever. Other statements, design
ed 70 show that the members Of the Senate
were traitors, have also been circulated,
but no reliable foundation has yet been
discovered for them. These gentlemen are
all men of probity and standing, some Of
them being quite wealthy, and all Of them
earnest Irish patriots, who would be the
very last to do aught to injure the cause
they love so well. They claim that only
stern necessity impelled them to take the
course they have done, and in deposing
the late President and Secretary of Treas
ury, they were actuated by motives which
will be commended by patriotic Fenians
everywhere.

PIKE COUNTY OUrDoSB.-Thefe is a
story floating around Of a hard-shell
Babti,t preacher, of the secesh school,
says the S. F. Alta, who was called in to
administer the consultations of religion to a
dying "Pike," who had been shot through
the body at the battle Of Wilson's Creek.
The man of the Gospel seated himself by
the dying sinner, and commenced with Ms
usual formula, as follows:
My friend, in what state wal your
mind when you first experienced a desire
for religion I" The dying soldier, with q
half idiotic stare, replied, "A-r-k-a-n-
s.a-w!" whereupon the preacher rose in
disgust, with the curt remark, "Oh, Lord
this Teller is too blamed ignorant to 90 to
heaven - and left him to die unshriven.
The dying Pike was q classical scholar
compared with q witness, in an assault and
battery case, in the Police Court q few
days since. In reply to a question oy the
defendants attorney, as to whether ne saw
defendants wife split him in the nose with

Here the wires gave out.

COMPLAINT is made against Speaker
Colfax for giving the craftsmanship OF SC
many committees to particular localities
A Washington correspondent thus en-
plains the matter ...
ut is very easy to see that, under the
system Of precedent and promotion which
prevails, and must always prevail In
Washington. those States which re-elect
their members most frequently secure the
greatest influence and control in legisla-
ton. 1t was in this way that the South
always had control of the leading COM
mittees of the House. She kept her men,
bers in, and they thus came to be chair;
men Of all the important committees, and
shaped the measures of every session.
Massachusetts, is equally sagacious, and ID
reaping her reward. Those States, on the
other hand, which deem it necessary to
practice a constant relation, in order 70
give all aspirants a chance, must be con-
tent to see their members take back seats,
Perhaps they may in time learn practical
wisdom on the subject"

RATHER SEVERE. - Recently, in the
Virginia House of Delegates, Mr.. Hurst.
OF Norfolk county. offered the following:
WHEREAS. Il is currently reported and
generally believed that the celebrated
Hudibrastic General b. F. Butler is about
TO take charge Of this Military Department
with powers extraordinary therefore,
ResolreG, That whatever money may
remain in the State Treasury be immedi-
a,ely divided among the widows and
orphans OF deceased soldiers, and couriers
b. dispatched 10 the various counties re-
que,ting the people 20 secrete or bury
their plate.
Hard on old Butler; but Hurst's idea
originated in a report prevalent that jeff.
Davis had escaped from prison, and was
then on his way to the Virginia capital.
However, the rebel-tamer ought to have
the military Office spoken Of in the pre-
amble.

DIFFERENTIATION

Senator Hu,chins, Of Humboldt, IN
obedience TO the expressed wish and VIII
Of his constituents, introduced into tue
Senate a memorial. asking Major General
uollcck TO send over a few companies OF
cavalry, and order them on active cam
uaicning duty in the northern part OF the
S,ote-where the Indians have been eN-
ceedinglv troublesome during the past
season and instruct the officers in field
command to go in for a clean out Ct the
savages-the determination Of them.
In the course Of the memorial it is stated
that General Mcdowell has wholly failed
to understand the requirements Of army
duty here, for the protection Of the frontier
portion referred TO.
We have carefully twice read the me-
moral, as printed, and we must express
our surprise at the opposition with which
it has met in the Senate. 1t has seemed
strange to us that members should exhibit
such a dekieGcy on the subjective can
not call their ill-placed c~tfeminacy Of OPP
position speech by any more respectful
term. The humanity some Senators
profess TO feel and advocate may be sup
portive of claims to christianized breeding
and temper; but the people of Humboldt
may we'll exclaim like the hop-tish in the
fable, TO the boys who were stoning them
cit 5 death to u.s."
From so much of the debate Us has been
told US. it appears that the settlers in
Humboldt have long exercised the utmost
forbearance towards the Indians who
roam through their county. But all TO
no pro,ectful avail. Senator Hutchins
a v that none Of the tribes ever begged
for food in vain and treaty after treaty
has been made with them, only to Illus
trate in horrid act the merciless and treach-
erous disposition of the aborigine. Hall
a million dollars worth of property has
been destroyed-wc are told by the same
Senator-within the five years past, IN
Humboldt county, and the lives Of many
OF the best citizens have been taken BY the
savages who owed them special gratitude
and good will. And. to-day, it is no,
safe to travel in any direction from the
villsges there built up, except on the stage
route south, or with u strongly armed and
equipped party OF experienced Indian
fighters.
The memorial is re-committed 10 the
Committee on Military Affairs, withou
instructions. determination" which
was held by nine Senators to be a good
word in the case, is the point at issue-to
be or not 20 be in the memorial. We
shall take occasion to refer to the subject
as i, legisla,ively IN up again.

The CURRENCY MISUNDERSTANDING
upon the subject, the Auburn Stars and
Stripes says:
The truth is that the money goes out of
the State 10 pay for articles Of use and
luxury which we import instead Of pro-
ducing here, or doing without. If we were
foolish enough to exchange our gold for
rreenbacks, at a loss OF thirty per cent,
the paper currency would still 90 the same
way that the gold and silver now does,
and the only parties benefited by the ex-
change would be brokers who furnished
the g~reenbacks. Eastern capitalists are
not such fools as some people seem 10 i'm
agine them and they are not TO be bam-
boozled into wildcat investments simply
by granting them the poor privilege of
throwing away g~reenbacks instead Of gold.
And the advocates OF the repeal of the
Specific Contract Law. who hope by the
success Of their darling measure, to be en-
abled to borrow greenbacks at a low rate
of interest, would probably find that they
would still be as badly off as before, for
want Of satisfactory security.
As to the patriotic phase Of the question,
our opinion is tina, it is little too late in
the day 10 talk about that. The Govern
men, has safely passed through all her
financial crisis. in spite of the Specific Con-
,rac, Law and now that President John
son warmly recommends, and Secretary
McCulloch is earnestly laboring to secure
a contraction Of the paper issue TO a specie
paying basis, notice from California that
we have just got ready to assist in further
expanding the currency. will not be re-
ceiyed a. Washington as particularly fiat"
,ering to the craftsmanship OF the on or
the financial sagacity of the other, tho ugh
i, nigh, be more gratifying to some Wal
street sharpers, who would like to turn an

at par for gold.

A STATE RUNNING MAD.-rhe Ken
lucky Legislature has lately been making
renewed efforts TO appear ridiculous, and,
as usual. has met with eminent success.
In the lower branch OF tina. body a reso-
luton was submitted on Thursday, whieh
heartily approved the action of the last
General Assembly in rejecting the pro-
posed amendment of the Constitution OF
the United States" This resolution was
referred 10 a committee and ordered to be
printed. which is a pretty sure indication
that it will pass. In addition TO this obei-
sance to the departed institution of slav-
cry, the same Legislature has also been
paving its respects TO the detunct instItu-
ton Of rebellion. On the llth Of Decem-
Der, resolutions Of the following character
were submitted in the Senate: First. re-
pealing the law ~expatriating rebels ;
second, rejecting the proposition to admit
negro testimony in the courts; third, de-
claring that Kentucky has rights that
she can Defend" if the hGbsGS corpus is not
soon restored in tina, State fourth, re-
pealing the law requiring judges of cleo
ton 10 be Union men; and as q fitting
conclusion to the work of a single day,
one of the members ventilated his p~ent-up
rebel enthusiasm by d%enouucing ABBA
ham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson as
traitors. as great, if not greater than JEFF.
Davis, for overriding the Constitution"
Evidently the twin ghosts Of slavery and
secession are stalking abroad in the State
of Kentucky.
