\ The WHOLE TRUTH IN A PARAGRAPH.
Gen. Sprague has started movement
iR the Senate looking to the increase
on tariff on all goods that can be
manufactured in this country. West-
ern Republicans say they will not
vote Tor further increase. The
cotton manufacturers of the East are
too much protected already. They
are making enormous profits, very
little of which accrues to operatives
in the mill There is q system of
labor growing up in New England
more banefuf or the working classes
than ever slavery was on tnes>.sroes
of the South. In many cases they
are worked harder, and for more
hours-with as little opportunity for
improvements especially children
many of whom never see the inside
of school room. If this state of
things is not soon arrested, it will
take but a few years to reduce labor
to the degrading position of the great
manufacturing towns of Old England,
where the working men and women
are as much the serfs of capital as
their ancestors were of the military
mobiles of the middle ages. And this
IS what some people call ''pros-
perity," and it is to the few, but it is
ruin and degradation to the many.

that while the Administration mem

ceded States, yet their policy on the

to admit a portion of the members

this will be done or not, of course we

should, we may reasonably expect

Prepare for the Worst,

That there will be an effort

not now be any doubt. The Rad.

proclaim it, and we believe the

tives will be denied till political

Stolen Southern Jewe1ry

Stolen Southern JeWelry.
The following is an extract from
a letter from New York, published
in the Baltimore Episcopal Meth
odist:
A Southern lady, on a visit to
this city, went to worship in one
Of the uptown churches. Soon
after an elegantly attired New
York lady, of high social standing,
entered the same pew and remain
ed during service; after which the
Southern lady called her aside In
to the room, and, in the presence
Of the rector, with whom she was
well acquainted, thus addressed
her: "Madam, l do not wish to
offend you, but that shawl you are
wearing belongs to me" (The
shawl was superb one.) The
New Yorker protested, and de-
clared that there must be some
mistake. "If," says the Southern
lady, "you will examine a certain
corner, you will see my initials
worked in it, and the rector knows
my name WE'LL" The corner was
found as well as the initials. The
Southern lady then remarked,
"That ring you have upon your
finger is also mine, and if you will
take the trouble to examine the
interior you will see the same III
itials engraved in the ring" Sim
liar movements took place, and
with similar results.
Turning to her again, the South
ern lady said: "Madam, that
bracelet you have on is mine also,
and by pressing spring on the in
side it will unclasp and show you
my portrait" The New York Ia
| dy did as requested, and there was
the lady's portrait. She promptly
returned the ring and bracelet as
she was convinced beyond the
power to controvert it, that they
were the property of this Southern
lady, and remarked as she did.
''they are yours, and you are wei
come to them, but as | wore the
shawl to church, I must beg the
privilege of wearing it home
again" The Southern lady &C
ceded, of course, and they ex-
changed cards. The shawl came
back in due time, but the New
York lady had probably obtained
the articles in such a manner as to
render it too unpleasant to divulge
No more was said about it.
Moral: If Southern ladies want
to know where their articles of
missing jewelry and wardrobe fur.
niture are, let them attend some
fashionable sup town" New York
Church, and if the men want tc
know what has become of all their
fine horses, shipped North by ar

The two Parties.

A writer in the Elyton Herald,
signed en-" thus sums up the
principles, objects, and intentions
of two parties that are now being
organized in this country:
Two great political parties, bas-
ed upon new and distinct political
principles, are now being organized
throughout the United States
One is the "National Union party"
with the President at its head.
The other is the "Radical Repub-
lican party" the leaders of which
are Sumner, Thad. Stevens, and
men of that class. One is Conserv-
ative-the other Radical. One is
in favor of an early restoration OF
the Union, and declares that the
Southern States are entitled noaC
to representation in Congress-
The other denies that these States
have any present right of represen-
tation, and oppose their restora-
ton to the Union until they shall
have acceded to the terms contain
ed in the proposed amendment to
the Constitution of the United
States. The amendment propo'
SEES
1st. To exclude from Office, and
to render forever ineligible to any
office State or Federal, a large class
of persons in the South-Union
men, as well as secessionists and
rebels.
I'd. To force Indirectly the
Southern States so to change the
present Constitutions and laws as
to confer upon the negro the right
to vote.
Such terms as these cannot be
accepted, as | think, by the peo-
pie Of the South without shame
and dishonor.
One party proposes that each
State shall determine for itself the
question of negro suffrage and 9th
er kindred questions. The other
proposes to take from the States
and give to Congress the exclusive
right to settle and determine these
various questions, One opposes
negro suffrage and negro equality
the leaders of the other boldly
proclaim themselves in favor of
giving to all men, without distinc.
ton of color, equal rights and
equal privileges under the law
This includes the right of the ne.
gro to vote, to hold Office, to serve
on juries, etc.

brandy in saucer, set the liquor on
fire and burn off the alcohol; then
put white lump sugar in the bran

ten minutes, and in less than an
hour you will conquer the attack

out Of the following particulars:
Charles Morland and Robert w.
Undine, two young men about
twenty-five years of age, have
for some months been counting
a young lady. The men grew
jealous Of each other, and each
strove to win the girl to consent
to marriage. But she could not
decide which to have. Sunday
night of last week, the two men
were sitting on the porch talking
with the girl, when a dispute arose
between them as to which was the
shortest route to North La Crosse
|-Morland saying by the depot,
Undine claiming by the wagon
road. They referred the matter
to the girl, who laughingly replied
that the best way to decide was to
walk there and back, each by his
route, when they could decide
which was the quickest; and as
there was but little difference in the
distance, she could know which was
the smartest man. And she play
fully added, go, noble knights,
and he who first returns shall claim
my hand in marriage"
Each man started, Morland dis
appearing around the corner, by
the depot route, Undine around
the corner, to go by the wagon
road. When Undine returned at
ter forty minutes walk on hot
night, he was made still hotter by
seeing Morland coolly sitting on
the porch, where he had been for
1856 minutes, as he only stepped
Iaround the corner and returned,
preferring sitting with the young
lady to walking three miles over
railroad ties. After some hard
words, Undine told the girl to 60

suit against the girl to recover pay
