that rather than place himself in the
position that he will under the making
of this law, the white man will avoid, as
far as may be, employing or making
contracts with negroes, preferring to
employ white men in all cases where
it is practicable, as with them he is
placed at heart on an equality before
the tribunals"

"that some special Legislation is neces-

the negro, but on the contrary to render
him as fit as possible for his new condi

Southern States will be to create confu

infinitely more injury than service t.

Sir Months Labor for Party
SUDrenIUCg.

The Rump has been in session for
six months, and, in all that time has not
performed single act of Importance or
benefit to the country OIL people. AL
most every measure broached has eth
er the negro or something looking to
partisan supremacy in it. Days, weeks
and months pass in discussing the ways
and means by which the present batch
of politicians may hold on to the places
of plunder and power. Congress-
so called-has thus been turned into a
vast electioneering booth, where "pol-
itics," not political economy, are dis
cussed where Presidents and governors
and legislatures are designated and
whence forensic champions sally forth
to the various States to drive away
poachers upon the " loyal domain"
No thought whatever is taken Of the
public veal. Questions relating to f.
nance, taxation, tariffs, internal improve
ments, commerce, agriculture, lnechan-
les, mining, bounties, pensions, treaties,
and a score of other interests are never
mentioned, or, if mentioned are imme,
diately dropped or abandoned. Per.
sonal agrandizement and party supre.
macy are the all.engrossing subjects oi
thought, conversation, discussion and
action; and no attempt whatever il
made to conceal the disgraceful fact. i
is patent to every observing and reading
man, woman and child throughout tho
country.

A SINGULAR FACT.-The Localit,

A SINGULAR FACT.-The Locality
of the Presidents The Cincinnati In.
guirer calls attention to the singular
fact that the opposition to the Democra.
cy, which has always made it subject
of complaint that so many of our Pres.
idents were taken from the South, has
nominated none but Southern born
Presidents itself for near forty years
that is during all the term of the anti
slavery agitation, when the complaint
was first heard. Thus, in 1882, they
nominated Henry Clay, Kentuckian,
a native of Virginia, for President. In
1886 they selected William H. Harri.
son, scion of one of the first families
of Virginia, where he was born, for this
office. In 1910 they selected this Vir.
ginian again, and put up with him for
Vice President John Tyler, another
Virginian. Tyler became President.
In 1874 they again nominated the Vir.
ginian- Kentuckian, Henry Clay, for
President. In lS4S they went to the
extreme South, and selected another
son of Virginia, General Taylor, a:
their standard bearer. In 1852 they
again went to Virginia and selected an.
other distingtinguished son of that State
General Winfield Scott, for President
and they put with him, for Vice Presi
dent, Mr.. Graham, of North Carolina
In 1856 they voted for John G. Ere
mont, South Carolinaiau by birth, anc
a Missourian by adoption and famil,
connection. In 1860 they selecte'
Abraham Lincoln, a Kentuckian, and il
1864 they reelected him, and with hin
Andrew johnson, a native of Nortl
Carolina, and resident of Tennessee
for Vice President. Thus we find tn
party declaiming against the infuenc
of Southern men, and yet invariably SC
lecting Southern men by birth and edu
cation for the highest Offices Of the cour
try for nearly forty years, During mos
! of the time the Democracy have vote
for Northern men, like Van Burer
Cass, Pierce, Buchanan, Douglas an
, Mcclellan.

HoNoRING THE DEAD.-The Chica-
go Tribune is very fierce in its denun-
Citations of the people of Richm ond,
because on recent occasion they re-
paired in large numbers to a cemetery
and cast flowers upon tho grave of
" Stonewall" " Jackson. 1t sees in this
incident an evidence of untameablo Ie-
bellious spirit that merits severest rep
rehension. Upon this text the Albany
Journal (Rep.) we'll says:
owe cannot agree with this view.
Whatever the faults of the cause in
which he died, jackson was a brave
man noble hearted, generous, and the
beau ideal of a soldier. Personally, he
lived blameless life. To the service
in which he was engaged he gave all
the energies of mind, mistaken and
wrongly directed indeed, but free from
malice and from taint of intended crime.
owe convcrsed recently with the
major general who commanded the G.
vision in front of which jackson fell
In speaking of him, this brave Union
soldier could not repress tear. He said
"he was gentle as a woman, and my
men, who were taken prisoners by him
always came back loudly praising the
kindness they received at his hands"
i" Beyond the grave thore are no re
venges. For the hateful spirit Of re
bellion there can be neither forgiveness
nor toleration-but it is not necessar,
to the honor or to the welfare of a grea
people that its mistaken votarics shoul,
be followed with obloquy into thei
tombs."

test?" dyes, sire" "Where are the
keys of the town." "On the King
Alfonso's breast; go and get them we
meet no more" "By heaven, we shall
never part" exclaimed the King. "Get
the keys back yourself, and remain in
command of the town in my name"
The followers of the King murmured,
and complained Of his rewarding reb-
Ell. " He is no longer one," said King
John "such rebels, when won, become
the best of subjects"

VoTEs THE WAY he SHoT.-The
writer Of the following pithy letter, who
is vouched for as Republican soldier
by the Waynesburg (Greenc county,
Messenger, is evidently man of sense !:
[For the Messenger.
Col. Jenniags:-Will you grant a
Republican soldier room in your paper
for very short article? l merely wish
to notice an admonition in the last
Greene County Republican, and to as.
sure the editor that his advice is good,
and 1 believe will be very generally fol.
lowed by the soldiers Of the county.
The editor says;
"To those who have borne the blunt,
vote the way you shot"
Now, Mr.. Editor, we shot for The
Union, and not for the negro, and we in
tend to vote for the Union and not fol
the negro, This is all | have to say a
present.

SARDINEs.-The lovers of the I" little
fishes billed in lie" should know that
the fish which furnishes them with such
a delicious repast belongs to the herring
family, and genus alosa. The popular
name was given to it by Cuvier, who
was the first to assign it to distinct
place in the fnny tribe. He called it
SARDINIA, from which it is known as the
sardine. Sardines are caught princi-
pally along the coasts OF Brittany, and
to a less extent in PortugA. The fish
cries employ large number Of men and
women. The fishing vessels-gencrally
of eight or ten tons each, and carrying
crew of from six to ten-go out two
or three leagues from the land and
watch for shoals of fish. When they
see them, they spread their gill-nets for
them, and scatter on the water the bait
which has been prepared, and which
consists OF the eggs and flesh OF nsh,
especially of cod and mackerel, and
sometimes of salted fish. Large guam
titles of sardines are taken in this way.
Some are salted on board and others are
carried on shore, and either sold fresh,
or prepared for shipment. For the lat
ter purpose, they are salted and packed
away in Tin cans, with melted butter and
olive oil, which are poured upon them
in an almost boiling state. Tho cans
are sealed up to prevent the air reach
ing the fish, and are then ready for
shipment. The sales in Europe are
very great, as the fish are there consid-
cred great delicacy, and large ship
ments are annually made to America,
where they are no less esteemed than
in Europe.

JEwELRY OF A PRINCESS IN PIE

JEwELRY OF A PRINCESS IN PIE
INTERIOR OF AFRIcA.-Dr. Livingston,
in his recently published account of his
voyage up the great river Of Eastern
Africa, says the sister of one of the
chiefs wore eighteen solid brass rings,
as thick as ones finger, on each leg, and
three of copper under each knee, nine
teen brass rings on her left arm, and
eight of brass and copper on her right ;
also large ivory ring above each ell
bow, or seUenty-one rings in all. She
had pretty bead necklace, and a bead
sash encircled her waist. The weight
of the bright brass rings around hei
legs impeded her walking and chafed
her ancles, but as il aOas the fashion she
did not mind the inconvenience, ant
guarded against the pain by putting sot
rags around the lower rings. So mucl
for fashion,
