Thrilling ON Fncts.


The Washington CATon' Gle, whose de-
termined championship of the radical
measures now pending in Congress has
placed it in an attitude of opposition to
the Presidents policy and left Mr.. john
son to the tender mercies of the National
IlteHigeaeer, is unkind enough to rake up
the record of that most disloyal sheet and
exhibit its peculiar u%nitness to assume TO
be the organ of Andrew johnson, in such
singing paragraphs as these:
If the HlteLIigeaeer had been half as
active in its efforts to protect Andrew,
johnson against the rebels as it is now
suspiciously solicitous to a him from
the radicals, it would certainly have been
better for its consistency, if not for the
country.
In 1864 the hteHigeneer thought SEN
ator Wade, Charles Sumner, and Henry
Winter Davis superlative patriots, because
they took ground in favor of the powers
and privileges of tho Congress Of the
United States; now, that paper attacks
and hounds statesmen Of the same school
for standing upon precisely the same
platform.
The LgteLigeaesr'S indignation against
the black man, Frederick Douglass, be-
cause of his criticisms upon the President,
painfully reminds us of its indifference
when the white men that still cluster
around that ancient concern, slandered
and opposed a white man called Andrew
johnson. Fred. Douglass was not near as
black as the Tennessee patriot in 1868.
The Latelkgeneer is airing its rhetoric
upon johnson meetings. 1t is not lon
the Lateuigencer was loud upon
anti-Johnson meetings. When the Presi-
dent wanted troops and money in Tennes-
see, the b~teLtigeHeer demanded his re-
mOval and disgrace. When he asked for
votes for Abraham Lincoln, the LntelLi-
shouted for George B. Mcclellan
md George II. Pendleton. Such John
son meetings as the Bttetyigehcer invites
will be composed of the same material
hat constituted the anti-Johnson or Ne
.lellan meetings in 1864. Truly, the
moves.

The Princess AIexandra's Christmas
Gift.

An English paper tells a little story Of
the Princess Alexandra, which admirably
illustrates her domestic habits, her amia-
BILE disposition, and kindness of heart.
Crossing the hall of Marlborough House
late one afternoon, a few days before
Christmas, her royal highness observed q
young girl of singularly delicate and re-
fined appearance, waiting, and also stand
ing, though evidently fatigued and very
faint.
The Princess kindly told her to sit
down, asked her errand, and discovered
that she had brought home some little gar
ment which had been ordered for the chill
dren, and which the Princess, who is much
interested in sewing machines, and under
stands their merits, had desired should be
made on the Grover & Baker machine.
Interested in the modest, intelligent ap-
pearance and gentle manner of the girl,
her highness d sired her to follow her to
her room, which she did without the re-
hottest idea who the beautiful eendescen-
ing lady was.
After an examination of the articles, the
Princess asked who it "a that executed
the work2 The girl medestly confessed
that she herself had done the most of 1t.
The Princes said it was lone very nicely,
and finally drew from her T tsge the sim
pie facts of her condition how she had an
invalid mother, whom she was obliged to
leave alone, while she went to the shop to
work; how the fashionable rage for the
Grover 81 Baker sewing had suggested to
her to become a finished operator on the
Grover & Baker machine, with the hope
OIL very, very far distant, that some time
| she might W a machine of her own, and
be able to work at home, and earn some-
thing more than bread for her poor sick
mother.
The Princess rang the bell, ordered a
bottle of wine, some buscuits and oranges
to be packed and brought 10 her. Mean
time she had asked the wondering, be-
wildered child, for she was little more,
where she lived, and took down the adj
dress upon her tablets with her own hand.
She then gave herthe delicacies which had
been put into a neat little basket, and told
her to take them to her mother.
On Christmas morning, into the clesn
apartment of the invalid mother and her
astonished and delighted daughter, was
borne a handsome sewing machine, with o
slip of paper, on which were the words
"a CHRISTMAS Gift from Alexandra"

Cancellation.

The following sketch is by a eorrespon.
dent Of the Cincinnati Commercial writ
ing from the "Blue Grass Region" o.
Kentucky.
Let me endeavor to give a %pen-and-ink
sketch of a few individual cases, as
specimens of classes. A few days since, ]
met an acquaintance who has been an out
spoken secessionist from the inception OF
tho war. -HDon't ynu think" said he
"that it is unreasonable and outrageous
for the informal Yankees to object to the
people Of the South electiDg those who
have served them so faithfully in war, tC
represent them in Congress 2"
"Why, my dear sir, replied I, ait was
but the other day l heard you condemn
ing the North for electing her soldiers to
Congress, because you regarded it as in
sulting to the South to set their conquer
ors TO rule wei them"
"Yes, and 1 say so still. And you
hear me swear it-before 1 will vote for
a man that ever wore blue clothes to fight
the South, 1 will ignore the right o.
suffrage as long as l live. That is the
reason 1 weuld not vote for Mcclellan
"And SOL said 1, "you propose to re
verse the order Of nature, and have the
conquered make laws for the c~onquerors
and not the conguerors for the conquered!
He turned upon M with a fierce coun-
tenance and exclaimed
"Why, l thought you were in favor OF
~onciliationl"
$50 l am. But 1 think there should BE-
a little Cancellation on both sides. And not
when two men have been fighting, have
the whipped one put his hand behind him
when offered that of the other, and CRY
out-"Now, you have whipped me, you
must try to coneiliate me, while 1 am ex.
hausting my vocabulary in abusing and
belittling you'll"
"Oh, that is ali nonsense - said my
friend. 1.-THE South can't be c~onciliated
That has never been done yet when enc
portion of a nation whipped another in a
civil war"
Yes it has. Come with me to nv room
and let me read you a little history"
We went, and 1 opened the first volume
of Maeaulay, to the following passages:
In no country has the enmity of race
been carried further than in England. In
no country has that enmitv been com
pletely effaced. The stages of the process
by which the hostile elements were melted
down into one homogeneous mass are not
accurately known to us. In the time Of
Richard L, the ordinary i~mprecation of q
Norman gentleman was, May I become
an Englishmanl His ordinary form OF
indignant denial was, DO you take me
for an Englishman?' The descendant OF
such a gentleman a hundred years later
was proud of the English name.n
"The time will come, my friend 1 con-
tinued, "when your children will beproud
TO belong to the Yankee nation, as you
were ten or fifteen years ago"

The Vote ON the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Resolutions.
The Congressional Gto6e of Tuesday has
the details of the vote on the Broomall-
Longyear resolutions on which we have
already commented, which differs some
what from the figures reported by tele-
graph. We therefore rec~apitulate: On
the first resolution, declaring that the re-
beIlion had left the people of the Southern
States without civil government, the vote
stood: ayes l02, nays SO. The Repub-
licans who voted in the negative were
Messrs. Raymond and Hale of New York,
Hubbard Latham and WhGley of West
Virginia, Smith and RouSseau of Ken
lucky, Mercur of Pennsylvania, and j. L.
Thomas Of Maryland-nine in all. The
second resolution, declaring that Congress
should enable them to organize a State
Government and should guarantee tothem
a Republican form of government, wa;
adopted, ayes lO4, nays 33-the recusani
Republicans this time being Kass.n 'oI
Iowa, Raymond, Latham, Rhatey and
Smith. Messrs. Hale, Mercur, Hubbard
and Thomas voted in the affirmative, ant
Mr.. Rousseau failed to vote. On the thirt
resolution, justifying the President il
maintaining the suspension of the ha6ea
corpus the vote stood, ayes 100, nays %
no Republicans voting in the negative
On the first branch of the last resolution
declaring that the President has beeI
justified in maintaining military contro
and possession of the rebel States, the vot
stood, ayes III, nays ,23-no Republican
voting in the negative. On the las
branch of the same resolution, thanking
the President for employing the wa
power to protect the Union men of tn
South, the vote stood, ayes lS4, nays g.
many Democrats votingin the affirmative
and the eight, whose names we have al
ready given, in the negative.
