Authority in Congress

\ member Of Congress yesterday quoted
from the Norfolk Post some language to the
effect that the late veto by the President was
the greatest victory flor the South since the
battle of Bull Run. The Norfolk Post, if We
are correctly informed, is edited by a new
conner in Norfolk, who made his entree into
the South with a sword in his hand, and who
enjoys the distinction of having been a
member of Beast Buffers stan. The
paper is published with the cOnfiScated
material Of a Southern newspaper, and
is naturally, under the circumstances,
of the Radical Stripe What the Post means
by speaking of the veto as a Southern Victory
and with what motive it SO Speaks-there is
difficulty in understanding. Was the NJ. e.
of these facts when he introduced it
as evidence against the Southl

writer says that the cOaling Of the steamboats,
is done principally by the women. He con-
tinues "The Royal mail steamer Tamor was
" cOaled here the other day, and 26O tons were
" put on board. have obtained the statistics,
" which are curious enough. FOrty-seven per-
% sons were employed as day labOrers, of
d" whom thirty were women, and in three
"a quarters of a day they earned Is. Cd, each,

" either sex. At task work, ninety-nine per

" were women. The coal is carried on their
" heads in baskets from the heap upon the
" wharf to the steamer, and in this instance
q the price paid, which varies according to the
" distance traverSed, was 3D.. per dozen bas-
" kets. The largest number of baskets carried
" during the three quarters of a day was l66,
" the next highest was l6l, and in both in

To conclude, while we thus call attention to
the shortcomings Of the negro males, we must
not be understood as discouraging any proper
efforts for his improvement. He needs improve
ment. Those who propose TO defy him are
both unreasonable and unjust-unjust to him.
They would place him in a position which he is
not prepared to fill, and indeed never will be.
Let US all do the best we can with him and for
him. As his capacities are developed let his
privileges be increased. Let us not be prema-
ture and act as if the world was coming to an
end before the problem can be worked out
The world is likely to last a long time. Exer-
cising patience and guided by reason, we will
soon enough find the measure Of Quashie's
capacities, and can deal with Kim accordingly.

When the Clerk concluded reading the report
from the Committee on Asylums,

to submit a few remarks upon the report, but
The SPEAKER ruled that it was not in order to do
so until the report was printed.
HOUSE BILL CONCERNING CONTRACTS PAYABLE IN
CONFEDERATE TREASURY NOTES
Was taken up, when Mr. WooDsoN moved to
strike out the third section and insert in lieu of it
the scaling section of the Senate bill.
After a lengthy debate the motion was lost
when
Mr.. SrRArGHAN moved to indefinitely postpone
the bill.
Mr.. CABELL stated that, if the motion was voted
down by the House, he would offer a scale, in lien
of the third section, furnished by Mr.. Charles Pur-
cell. banker, giving the price of gold monthly in
Confederate currency during tue years 1862, 1868,
1864 and 1865.
Mr.. SrRAUGBAN t~hereupon withdrew his mo-

The notion of Mr.. BOOKER to reconsider the vote
by which the amendment was adopted, was lost
ayes 81, noes 43.
He was opposed to both scales.

wife Of Captain Thomas A. Moon, Of Halifax county
Virginia. Her age was % years.
In recording the death Of this lovely young Christian
it is but proper To advert to her character and WORTH
She was endowed by her Creator with superior talents.
Her personal charms were many and great, but her IN
tellectual and moral traits Were even greater and more
conspicuous to those few who knew her well. In the
morning Of life, while yet a school girl, she INDUCED
the hope Of salvation, and made Il profession of thai
hope before men by joining the Presbyterian Church,
For ten years, in ali the relations of life-as wife, moth,
err, mistress, she evinccd the sincerity of her profession
and adorned the doctrine Of Christ by a meek and quiet
walk and conservation.
Her summons was sudden, but she met 1t without n
murmur-aye, she met it cheerfully. Her last word
were, - Confident hope, confident hope" Her end was
peace. She leaves "a husband ana two little children 10
mourn over their irreparable loss. May the God Of All
grace bless and comfort them and enable them to attain
unto the kingdom Of His glory. J. A. S.
