AN EXTRAORDINARY MONKEY. .-,he
New York Post thus describes theer.
formances of an extraordinary moe
now being exhibited on the streetof n
New York:
The organ is rarely, if ever, usedk. {
cept to attract the nucleus OF a crd.
After that the entertainment is ofa,.
gular character. The monkey Ia snl
one) takes his place on platform VIII
is nearly as high as a mans head, d
begins the performance with music of
own upon the violin. The tones al
not particularly sweet, but the postu
OF the player is very amusing to IT,
crowds. At the conclusion of this tn
monkey carelessly tosses the instrument
and the bow into the hands Of his trainelI
and, taking a hurdy.gurdy, places the
strap around his neck, and makes more
music of its kind. Afterwards comes a
tambourlne performance.
Then the programme varies. The
monkey is provided with needle and
a piece of cloth, and sews rapidly, if not
very well; with broom he energeti-
cally sweeps the stage. His motions
at this time closely initiate those of an
industrious, but careless and comical ser.

dered and applauded the Monkey during
his musical exhibition now laugh hearti
ly.
The performer next takes the part of a
warrior. His gun he first presents" for
inspection. Subsequently he removes
the ramrod, drives home the charge, as
soldiers on parade do it, and shoulders
arms, carries arms, takes aim and fires
off the percussion cap, with which the
lock has been supplied. The march Of
the monkey on Ills short legs excites
great merriment. A broad-sword exer-
else completes the belligerent entertain.
ment. The monkey fences very well
with his trainer, who stands off to avoid
stabs
The performances conclude with gro.
tesqne tricks. The monkey, which is
eighteen inches high, puts on the great
cap of his master, and with a ludicrous
air, struts around the platform. There
are other similar acts. Finally he assists
the servant in taking up the collection.
Standing in the centre of the platform
he catches in his hands, with great skill,
the coins thrown at him, no matter from
how far, or how many come about the
same moment. His purse hangs from
his belt, and the money is slipped in it
with wonderful quickness and dexterity.
The monkey takes off his hat and makes
very good bow at the end of the ex-
hibfion.

that it would be. unsafe to freedmen and u
nionists to remove the troops from Virginia.
The change of feeling is ascribed by these
witnesses to be due to President JOhnson's
liberal policy.
John Minor Bolts and Colonel Lewis tes-
tify to the remarkable statement that Mr..
Lincoln made remark to Messrs. Bolts aud
Baldwin. IN April. 1851, that he would evae-
uAte Fort Sumter if the Virginia Convention
would adjourn sine die.
MIR. Bolts was asked by the committee :
'' Are you perfectly sure, according to your
best recollection, that Mr. Lincoln told you
that he made that proposition to Mr. Bald
win. to evacuate Fort Sumter on this con-
dition ?"
Mr.. Bots" know it as we'll as know
you are standing before me, and that am
answering your question"
Mr., Bolts then goes on to say that if Mr.
Baldwin. had fulfilled his duty, the Virginia
Convention would have. adjourned, and that
the ordinance of secession would not have
been passed.

THE VETO AND THE LAwYERs@

The expositiO': of the legal objections to
the Civil Rights bill, ia the late veto Of
President johnson, is so overwhelming a
condemnation Of that measure, that its verv
supporters confess that their reputation as
lawyers has been put to shame. The New
York Times says:
''Thc analysis oFthe details is of so Keen
and searching character, the logic is SO
irresistible, that we should hope even tho
strongest advocates of the measure will see
now vastly Important it is that the eOnsti
tntona' power of the veto should exist, and
how important also, in higher sense, il il
tha' such constitutional power should be
entrusted to President endowed with iuds-
ment, discretion, aud most uncommon
courage.
The strictly legal interpretation which
the President applies to particular sectiops
OF the act Is SO Overwhelmingly strong chat
the members learned in the law who voted
for it, Gu" hardly help blushiny to fund them.

logic of laynau. So far as we can Learn

the majority that voted f,,r the bill thew nro

are too strong for them, and they are f,in to,

Two weeks ago we made call upon our
subscribers which we thought would not be
disregarded BY single man on our list. In
this we have been disappointed. Out of over
one hundred and forty names on our sub
scription book who have not paid u.s. not
more than three gave any attention to the
notice referred to. The white paper which
We use weekly, costs us about S00O-and
this has to be paid for at the time Of its de-

that somebody has to pay these 5000. Who
does it? Those subscribers who pay for
their papers, whilst those who neglect to pay
for it, derive the benefit of it from this source.
or from straining of our credit to keep the
paper going. Is this reasonable? Isit Just?
We have only to state that we will have to
discontinue our paper after this week to those
who have not paid US, or who DO not pay us
before the next issue of our paper. This

mirable Message from President Johnson.
vetolng what is known as the Civil RIGHTS
Bill. 1t is sound in principle, conclusive in
argument, and bold, manly and patriotic in
expression. 1t should be the wish of all
true friends to the best interests of the Cover
ment that Congress and the nation will sus>
tain the President, and the following extract
OF letter from Washington gives us hope of
the former, while no one can doubt as to the
sentiment Of the latter. The correspondent
says:
''The following Senators will surely sustain
the veto Of the Executive and his policy, viz:
Messrs. Buckalew, Cowan, Davis, Dixon,
Doolittle, Guthrie, Hendricks, johnson,
Lane of Kansas, McDougalI, Morgan, Ncs-
NTH, Norton, Riddle, Salisbury, Van Wrinkle
and Willey-seventccu in all, and sufficient
number to prevent the passage of the bill,
even though every scat of the fifty was
Tiled, aud every other Senator voted oppo-
sitely.
''We have doubt concerning Mr.. Wiley.
but should Senator Wright be able to attend,
the II would be made up, and the veto
surely sustained"
G We also publish in our paper to-day the
testimony of Gen. R. E. Lee as given be-
fore the Congressional Reconstruction Com
mittee, and commend it to the perusal of
our readers.

President Lincoln's Position Upon Re-

Ward II. Lamon, OK Marshal Of the Dis
trict of Columbia, anI one Of Mir. Lincoln's
most intimate friends, has written letter to
President johnson warmly sustaining his
policy and pronOuncing it III accordance with
the views OF u majority of the convention
which nominated him In reference to Mr..
LincOln's views, he says:

cerulnS the personal sentiments Of Mr..
Lincoln himself, and claim now to be the
salue kind ofa Republican as | was when |

entirely certain, by his own repeated dec:a-
ratioms to me. that he would exert all his
authority, power and influence to bring about
an Immediate reconciliation between the two
sections Of III. country.
As far as dependent upon him, he would
have had the Southern Sta.cs represented in
both Houses Of Congress within the shortest
possible time. All the energies of h S nature
were gwen to ''vi gOrOus prosecution of
the war" while the rebellion lasted, but he

THE SOUTHERN coNGREssMEN.

There are some half dozen Senators
elected from the Southern States still in
Washington They do not expect to get
anything encouraging from either House of
Congress. They have been told by the
Radicals, says the n. Y. World. that under
no circumstances will they be allowed to
take their seats so long as they can control a
majority in Congress. The Radicals have
notified them that they expect to carry the
next House, and, if they are successful, they
need not expect to get in for at least ten
years.

To the Editor ct'Me Spirit:
In an article which lately appeared in your
columns touching the conduct Of the Hon.
Charles j. Faulkner in reference to his career
IN the rebel army, aud subsequent course in
taking the oath prescribed for attorneys prnc-
tclng III the courts OF West Virginia, the
structures were not justified by the tucts, and
1t is greatly to be dcplUrcd that charges so
caiumnlous, false and unwarrunted, should
have reached the public. While it is clearly
within the scope OF the press t" criti,isc aud
comment; even with decided emphasis upon
the acts Of public men, yet as in the case Of
Mr.. f.. who is not before the people in the
character OF a public servant, but simply us
private citizen, injustice has been done TO
him in thus casting hurttuI reflections upon
his reputation as high toned aud honorable
man. This open denial of the charges pc
terred against HIM, is the only mode remain
ing OF making the GmeHRe h0nur"LEe.
shall therefore state that the charges
made against my father, by Andrew j. Ken
nedy. are utterly false. and which charges
were made merely from a spirit of private
revenge, wholly uutounded by any proof
whatsoever
Eour~ respectfully,

take immediate action in the prem ses. A
