Gov Brownlow and George d. Prentice are at
present engaged in throwing mud at each other,
and as'both are adopts at the business the out
side public are furnished with unlimited amuse-

JURIEs AND BREACHES OF PRoMSE.-
When a tall and pretty lady was set before
them as having been deluded, there was no
holding them in. He remembered hearing
an old gentlemen, who had been barrister
in India, tell the story Of She Circassian
slave who had murdered the master of a har-

1t was a bad case, but he said "Put her in

ter; SGT her before the jury, and I'll answer
for the result And the result was exactly
what he predicted She had STABBED the man
but the jury pardoned the crime for the sake
of the interesting woman they saw before
them 50 in the case of an action for breach
of promise. A young and interesting woN
man will get damages but if man was
ever so young and interesting he got no dam
ages, but had to pay heavy costs and get
secuted besides. Why it happened he could
not say; but his experience in courts Of JUS
tce was that in actions for breaches Of prom
ise the women had it their own way and the
men had no chance. The lady was well got
up placed in a conspicuous place, and the
attention Of the jury directed to her, and of
course she was generally in tears. If she
was placed in the witness box and cried un
der cross>examination as they always did, it
was all over with the men. The jury, to
show their chvalry, their admiration for the
fair sex, and their contempt for their own,
would Immediately return verdict for her

WHAT WAS ONCE SAID.-On the 18th of De-
cember, 1852 Mr. Lyman Trumbul, then, as
now. a Senator of the United States said
'In my Judgment there is a distinction be-
tween the white and the black races, made by
Omnipotence itself. 1 do not believe these two
races can live pleasantly and happily together. p"
Not five months later Andrew johnson, then
a Senator from Tennessee, said:
"The Senator from Illinois comedies the whole
ground, and all this clamor and claptrap about
liberty aad man being created equal falls to the
ground"
Mr.. Trumbull, it will be recollected, framed
both the Freedmens Bureau bill and the So
called Civil Rights bill, which seek to override
the "distincton between the white and the
black races, made'-as he once declared-"by
Omnipotence tself."-T Exchange,

Problem or2aces.

Dr. J. c. Mott, celebrated physician Of Ala
b1mA, has given in the form of q letter to the
FrCglmcus Bureau, his views Of the diversity of
The human species. Il, says be has asserted no
flct not established by science and history, and
aisclaims being at an actuatei by sectional feel
iugS or blind prejudice, and proicsses to have
given mere resume Of chronological history
representing the received opinions of the best
Informed naturalists OF the day. The letter ap-
pears in the last number of DeBOw's Review.
The following are the conclusions 70 which he
has been led
lst. The Intelligent and physical characters
Of the different races Of men were the same as
now five thousand years ago, and no causes
have existed or now exist that can transform one
type of man into another.
n. The physical laws which have governed
the races Of men during this period Of time are
precisely the same as those which govern the
species, varieties, or types Of inferior animals.
3D. Without going back to the mooted ques-
ton or original unity diversity of species, the
diversity of races as it exists can only be re-
gardcd as the work of the Almighty.
4th. The negro and other inferior races as it
exists can only be regarded as the work of the
Almighty.
4th. The negro and Other inferior races have
never, under the most favored circumstances,
shown any capacitytOr seli-governmcut or civ
ilzaton.
9TH. The negro attains his nearest approach
to civilization among the whites, in a subordi-
nate capacity, and when separated from them
relapses into barbarism, as in liayu and Ja-
mlica.
9Th. The brain of the negro is nine inches
less than that of the white man, and the large
headed races have always ruled the earth, and
been the only repositories of true civilization.
7th. The idea that the brain of the negro,
or any other race can be enlarged and the intel
| lect developed by education, continued through
successive generations, has no foundation in
truth or any scmblance of support from history.
sth. The races of men, like those Of CANNES
and other animals, though modified by climates,
are never transferred into each other The
| white man, the negro, the Jew, the greyhound,
the fox, the pointer, preserve their types and int
stincts in all climates
| orh. The blacks, like the American Indians,
Tartars, and other nomanic races, are instinc-
lively opposed to agricultural labor, and no ne
necessity can drive them to it.
| 10th. Slavery is the normal condition of the
negro the most advantageous to him, and the
most ruinOus, in the end, to a white man.

People with Congress.

The Rump papers are in the constant habit Of
iteIuting and re-iteratlng that the people are
with Congress, that the present Rump Congress
represents the sentiment OF the people. They
can produce no evidence for this saying, except
the fact that the members were elected BY the
people. As an Offset to this, we eRn simply say,
so was johnson Both were elected pledged to
the construction Of tie old Union, and no such
thing as the disfranchiscmeut of the South, af-
ter her PEOPLE had laid down their arm, Was
then sugges.el or contemplated, except, per
haps, by the few snakes in -th grass who acted
hypocritically sing dac thing and in. end
ing to d. another. The idea Of forcing negro
suffrage upon any portion of the people, against
their WILL WIS never mootcd and any attempt
to hold the people OF the South as boudsmcn to
those Of the North, was particularly rcpuditted
The whole cry was the salvation of the Union,
and the war was to be stopped the moment the
armies of the South caP.tuated. Even on the
field of battle after the President and the Rump
Congress were elect d, Generals Grant and
Sherman contemplated nothing but that the
Southern armies should dIsbaud and the mem
bers of them go home and conform to the laws.
In such event, they wcre not to be molcstcd. Il
is idle then, it is impudent, it is right down
glarng falsChOOd, for any paper to pretend to
say that the existing fractional or Rump Con-
gr, So, represents the people, that the people Of
the North are with it in its unconstitutional,
malignant mean, ana NlnulStlhc tOulSt VI aE-
ton towards the people of the Southern States.
The truth is, the members Of the Rump Com
gress have deserted the old platform on which
they were elected, and misrepresent the seuti-
ments OF their constituents. They were elected,
10 foster a feeling Of union, between North and
South; whereas they are doing everything they
can to perretuate dsunion. They were elected,
as against making the negro the political equal
of the white man; they are eudeavoring SO to
make him. They were elected, as political par
tSans of Abraham Lincoln and Andrew john
son; Abraham Lincoln's Cabinet and Andrew
| Johnson, are now together. The test, as to
which represents the people, the President and
his Lincoln Cabinet or the Rump Congress, can
only be tried by the ballOt-box, an ordeal which
the latter body has no idea of passing through.
This shows the cant, and hypocrisy, and double
| dealing, not only of the apology for Congress,
but of the Rump papers whose editors and pub
fishers are so prone to lick Congressional feet.

The constitution provides that Con-
gress shall have sole power to make
rules concerning captures on land and
water"
Now the report of the Secretary of
War shows that the United States,
during the war, purchased two hun
dred and ffty-eight locomotive en-
gines, built thirty-six, and captured
ore hundrad and fifteen. OF these
one hundred and fifteen captured en-
gines, one hundred and tl0elUe, or all
b1st three, gcere retlWned to their former
otgnerS bg order Of the ErecWfiUe. Of
the rest, one hundred and sixty nine
were sold to Southern ex-rebels on
credit, by Executive orders, as the re-
port declares.
Beside these engines, the United
States forces captured six hundred
and sixteen cars. OF these captured
cars, .tGUe hundred and ninety one or all
bat tlCeafy,1 fire, 1Cere returned 10 their
former 0lgaers by the President and Of
the five thousand nine hundred and
eighty nine purchased and built by the
Government, two thousand six hundred
and forty-tOur, or nearly half, were
sold to ex-Febels on credit by Exc
cutive orders" After each of these
credit sales, the Secretary of War has
been careful to insert in his report the
words by Executive orders, that
the county may know who Is respon-
sible In this matter
Thus, President J Johnson has given
away to rebels, as a free present out of
the treasury, one hundred and twelve
locomotives and ninety-one cars, be
side several thousand miles of rail
read track, depots, buildings, land and
other property, worth at least one
hundred millions of dollars in cash,
every cent Of which belonged to the
loyal people of the Republic. and
should have been placed In the nation
al treasury, to help pay off the enor-
nous debt caused in part by these
same rebels upon whom the President
has thus bestowed millions on millions
of the property of the Republic, con
trary to the plain provision of the Con-
which declares that Congress
alone can make rules for the disposal
of property captured in war.
