ANALcAMATIoN AS SEEN IN THE DANCE
HALLS or BosroN, THE ATHENS (?) OF AMER
IcA-.The local OF the Boston Post, in de-
scribing the dance hall of that city, paints
vivid pictures of vice. Here is his account
of one he entered. There are many others
like it, but we select this as specimen:
Passing into the dance hall, we found quite
company present tripping the light fantas.
tic toe" to the mnsic Of o piano forte with
violin accompaniment. This hall is nbont
sixty feet deep, and is fitted up with consd-
erable taste. The walls are hung with pic
lures, real and fancy, and 10 give a patriotic
caste to tho whole, the names Of all the
Presidents, and the names of the principal
battles in which Massachusetts, colored regi
mcuts have servcd, are painted in gold and
relieve the samepcss Of the 3ingy walls
But the scene here presented by those par
ticipating in the social dance" is not only
novel but disgusting. Young, good looking
white girls aud negroes, black as lamp black
mingle and commingle in the dance, and en-
BRACE osch other With seeming tenderness oi
spirit. The tall, athletic specimen of the
genuine African, with great gusto and entity
siasm, whirls the young white women in the
mazy dance, and at the signal to promenade
for drinks, escorts her to the bar and treats
her to tumbler of spruce beer and some
peanuts. This scene is revolving in the ex.
trcme to one accustomed to respectable 80.
ciety, but is practiced here, in this mixed
Company, nearly every night in the year
Familiarity knows no restraints. All are on
level, and We have here perfect illustta

expense OF white woman's respect and virtue

Emigration to Mexico.

From a circular letter of Lieut.. N. F
Maury, Imperial Commissioner of Colonizs
ton for the Empire Of Mexico, ne learr
some facts important to persons desiring tc
settle in that country.
Lieut.. Maury is authorized to dispose oi
los, ,459 acres of the hacienda of L:mon, sit.
uated on the Panuco River, in the Depart
ment OF Tamaulipas, giving gratis every alter.
nate section-G4O acres-to man with q
family; $40 acres to an unmarried man, with
pre- -emption righ: in each case to as much
more, at two dollars per acre:
1t is not advisable at present for immi-
grants without money to go to Mexico, eI-
cept under the auspices of some friend who
can assist them, or under the care of some
one eff the various companies, recently incor-
porated, for establishing colonies.
Agents have been established at various
convenient points, to assist immigrants on
their arrival in the country, BY giving them
information anf finishing them with the ne.
cessary certif les and passports to enable
them to pas The custom houses. to enjoy all
the rights, privileges and exemptions of the
Emperor's decree,
Perfect freedom OF religious worship is
guaranteed by the organic law of the Empire,
and sanctioned by the Pope.
The Empire is continually gaining ground /;
the columns of the newspapers are daily, and
have been for months, filled with the names
of Liberals, who looking upon the Empire as
success, aud their cause as failure, have
laid down their arms, and are giving in their
adhesion to the Imperial Government.
Immigrants can ind desirable locations in
any climate they please, and suitable for tho
cultivation Of suy staple they prefer, or the
raising Of Any kind Of stock. Lands may bO
purchased in almost any part Of the country
at any price, from few cents to few dol
lars per acre.
The proper time for immigrants to arrive
in the countryi is between the first of March
and the first Of June. Immigrants may con.
fldently count upen all tho assistance, and
every facility, and the best information that
it is the power of the Imperial Commission
to extend. Lieut. Maury is about to embark
for England, expecting to bring over his fam.
lily 10 Mexico. During his absence, Sub Com.
missioner R. L. Maury will attend to the bu-
siness of the Commission.

GRgELY THINKS EI-REBELs WOULD BE THE
BEST REpREsENT4rlvrs:-Ar. Sherman wants
the Southern States represented in Congress
represented now-but insists that no person
who mas taken part il me late rebellion shall
be admitted to- . seat Nov, notogiouBy,
nearly all the white people OF those States
have taken part in that rebellion, and so are
excluded by the terms Of the existing Act
and of Mr.. Shermans programme.
Now We object to that programme that its
success will not conciliate. nor tranquilize,
nor satisfy the South, and that it ought not
to do 30. 1t is all very well to insist that
the South must be represented by "loyal
men"-nobody disputes that. But to say
that they must always haze been loyal-that
Georgia and Mississippi and South Carolina
must send to Congress no man who eer viii
lingly aided the rebellion-is TO mock her
With Semblance. yet deny her the reality Of
representntion-is to tantalize, and irritate,
rather than tranqui.ize and conciliate the
South. What earnest Unionist wants to see
Alexander II. Stephens denied the seat in the
Senate to which he has Just been elected, and
some Insignificant, who represents only his
own audacious aspirations, admitted in his
stead? Depend on it, 81 the South" is not to
be satisfied, nor even restored" by any sham
representation. Mr.. Sherman means well
but his plaster is too small for the wound,
and will rather inaame than heal it. We
are confident We express the general feeling
of the Southern whites, when we say that
they prefer to be kept out of Congress rather
than admitted, if, when admitted, they are
allowed to send to Congress only representa-
tives who can swear that they never vo!unta-
rily aided the rebellion.-New York Tribune.

THE FREEpNEs's RUasAD.-The Richmond

Wig, of q late date, says!
Our honest opinion is that both, the South.
eru whites aud the Southern negroes, would
be better OFT without than with this bureau.
The negroes have been emancipated, and the
whites have not the power, nor have they the
wsh to re,ensave them. If left without
constraint or dictation, the two races would
soon voluntarily establish easy, natural, kind.
" relations. The mistake is made of sup
posing that all the good that has been done,
has been done by this, Bureau. The truth is
it has been done in spite of it. More would
have happened without it. From it has
sprung all tho dlstrust that exists between
the two races. Crested and administered e1.
clusvely in the interest of the blacks, it il
viewed With jealously by the whites; and

prices was greater than in any week sines the

and Says 'ss
"Standard domestic tDAnufactaresia ID the
dry goods market receded in price about
twenty per cent, and and the Average reduc-
ton in imported goods was probably not
less than twenty-five per cent: Even at
these reduced rates sales were very tneagre,
and it is quite probable that the decline will
continue during the present wsek. In other
branches of trade, there has also been 8 ma

clan of St. Petersburg, during the prevalence
Of tho cholera there several years sgo, servs

two criminals who had been condemned to
death, to do with them as be sa~ fs. Ono
of these convicts was made to sleep. in bed
in which, as he was told, "a man died With
the cholera but the night before-although
such was aot the fact. After q RESTLESS night,
the criminal was taken With all the syrapt' ms

to b;s own fears. The other wass made to

former of the expressions was used by our

Saturday, in Italian, still retains the name
