Domestic D,scipiin, In tho Z, South.

We collect from the late volume of
Whitelaw Reid-the Agate CORES
pondent Of the entitled
s.tAfter the War-A Southern Tour"
the following relation, which, a few
years ago, would have afforded the
means for very tolerable picture in
an Abolition almanac, to illustrate
the degrading effect of slavery upon
the African. Mr.. Reid is now en-
gagged in the business of cotton
planting. in Louisiana; but whether
the incidents occurred on his own
plantation or on. another, is not re-
lated. The circumstances are briefly
as follows: The wives of couple Of
negroes became discontented with
the society of what they called the
Glow down niggers'' on tie planta-
ton, and induced their husbands to
refrain from work. After sending
them all to- Jail together, the men
relented, promising to go back to
their work, and were released. There
upon, they began begging to have
their wives released.
"We's make 'em wuck. If dey
don't, we's whip 'em good. You ius
try us. Please, NISSAN Cap'n, please
do, We's whip 'em mighty hard, an
mako 'cm wuck."
''Finally," says the relator, s.on
these condltlons-on the condition
that these colored gentlemen should
whip their wives mighty hard-thc
women were released and turned over
to their husbands. Upon which.
the author moraizes:
s"The men all claim this privilege
to beat their wives, and the women
freely concede it. In fact, they seem
to have less affection for man unless
he occasionally establishes his supe
riority by whipping them. The men
actually believe that Il woman loves
her husband all the better for an ,,c-
caslonal beating; and certainly the
facts would seem to warrant their
theory. l have known cases in which
the whole force was arouSed at night
by the noise in some cabin where a
man was beating his wife-she resist
ing, screaming, threatening, and
finally seizing q knife and rushing
after him. Next morningI have seen
such couples as loving and bright rs
|
ginning"
Can such things be, and overcome
us like 4 summer cloud, without our
special wonder? DO all these relies
of barbarlsm remain, after the benc-
ticence of the Government in sending
holy men to re-unite the negroes in
the bonds of hymen, according to
Gods ordinance, and expouud to
them the sacredness of the marital
relation? And what are we to think
of those gentlemen who promised us
! that the sound of the lash cuttin.,
into human flesh should no more be
heard in tho land, when We read the
story which tells us that, for the want
of somebody else to whip, the ne
lgroes-the freedmen and the freed
women-have turned to whipping
each other.
And then the tranquility and cool
ness, the matter of-course stvle in
which the thing is related-and bv an
Abolitionist! Horrid! Whipping is
a nesro-we beg pardon, colored-
institution, 1t is one of the incidents
of Gods holy ordinances, the sacred
marriage relation. The men claim it.
the women concede it and the plilan
thropist stands by, accepts the conli
ton, and finds the practice in har-
mony with the order of uaturc. Does
the world move?

THE APPOINTING POWER OF THE
F4 PRESIDENT, .e

THAD STEPHENS bill to regulate remoy-
ais from office provides, lst, That in all
instances of appointments to Office by the
President, by and with the advice and con-
sent of the Senate, the power of removal
shall be exercised only in concurrence with
the Senate. I'd, that in cases of miscon-
duct or disability, the President may sus-
pend an officer when Congress is not in
session, and appoint some person to per-
form his duties; but the case must be re-
ported to the Senate within ten days after
the opening of the session for their action.
Sd, In. cases where the President appoints
a person to Office who has been rejected
bv the Senate, it provides that the prede-
cessor of such person shall hold on to the
office; and such new appointee shall be
incapable Of holding any Office under the
Government for three years. Whenever
any person has assumed office, and is dis
charging its duties on the nomination Of
the President, before he has been con
firmed by the Senate, on his rejection, all
the -subordinates or deputies who have
been appointed by him, or on his recon-
mendation, shall vacate their places and
cases to act. -ri

A LIBRARY ASSOCIATION FOR FIRE.


A movement is on foot to organize a
first class Library Association in Fremont
on permanent basis Thus far the pro-
ject meets with approval in every quarter,
and there is every prospect that by New
Years we shall have well selected libra
ry, accessible to allwho have any love for
books. The Importance of such move
ment to growing town ike ours, cannot
be overestimated.- There are no educa-
tors ike books. They are always at hand
to amuse or instruct as suits our mood
They bring to our fresides the, treasures
of history, and the best thoughts of the
foremost men of all ages and times. A
good library win tell for good on any com
munity, and viii always be felt as a pow
erful ally in every effort to build up its
true interests.
The fact that similar association died
out some years ago after. an existence of a
few years, is no objection to urge against
theformation of new one. Great changes
have.Laken place in the city since that
time. The population and wealth have
increased. Our citizens, as a rule, have
more leisure and more money. The
growth fIthe city has taken on perma-
nent and substantial form, and the lead
ing men are ready to give every enterprise
of this kind a liberal support The pres
ent,high prics of books places them out
of the reach of people of moderate MEANS
and an association which will enable any
one to keep up with the current literature
of the day. bya small outlay of means,
wilksupply want that has long been felt
and will become a permanent institution.

HORACE GREELEY is one of the most
excellent of our public men, and in some
respects the weakest Ills good qualities
shine out in adversely; but he don't seem
to stand success very well. He fights
hard and effectively up to the moment of
victory, but at that moment his humanity
gets the better of his sense of justice, and
he is willing to consummate peace that
will scatter to the winds the good results
of his blows Just now he is on the SUM

tack. In an editorial In the Tribune, as
well as in aletter to the Governor of Geor-

of our national difficulties is universal am

THAD STEPHENS on TREASON TRIALS.
In the course of debate in the House
the other day on a proposition to repeal GER
tain sections of the law relating to the trial
of persons charged with committing trea-
son--the law as it now stands requiring
the grand jury to bring in the indictment
within three years after the commission of
the offence-THAD STEVENS made the fol-
lowing remarkable declaration:
Idonot believe that it is safe for US to under
take to pass laws by which we can or may be
able TO punish men, however quietly, that could
not be punished under the laws existing when
the crimes were committed. The Constitution
and our laws provide very carefully that, espec-
tally in the case Of treason, the party charged
with the crime must be tried where the overt
act was committed l am afraid that the trail
tors in the South, if tried under our existing
Constitution and laws, will not one of them be
convicted | should never attempt 10 try them
for treason. Now, although l would not dis
courage trials for treason, | mention this to
show that ] am convinced that none of these
traitors can ever be convicted Of treason under
our present Constitution and laws, yet would
rather let every man of them go unpunished
forever than to make law now by which they
could be punished. | think our Government
would be endangered in its future existence in
its character before the world by conduct of
that kind more than it would be by enduring
the evil.
Mr.. Stevens idea is, not that the rebels
shall escape scott free, but that they be
tried as bellegrents under the laws of ma
tons and. the laws of war.
