CLorHING At Prices 70 SUIT THE TINES
Messrs. Malard 3 Tooker, at No. 10 chartre
street are now offering for sale a superb stool
Of ready-made clothing at prices so low as to be
worthy Of the attention Of every one who needs a
spring outfit. Having been in the clothing bust
ness in this city for than thirty years, it is
but natural to suppose that these gentlemen are
capable Of getting up style Of goods which
would satisfy our people in every respect and as
they expect To continue In it for thirty years
onger, It is not likely that they would sell any
thing which would not do them credit, both as to
quality Of material and durability Of manufacture
Therefore. when such q house offers goods low, it
must not DO presumed that they are trying to force
Of : LOT Of cheap slpp-ahop work but it can be
relied upon that real bargains are to be had. Az
I may be useful, we would advise our readers to
pernse with care Messrs. Malard l. Tooker's adj

Fine Arts.
We take the following from the New Y

We take the following from the New York
Erening Post
The private view of the statues of Larkin
G. Mead, Jr., the Vermont sculptor, was
given Monday evening, April Both, at the
Tenth Street Studio Building. A brilliant
and intelligent audience greeted the artist
and his works, and went away very favora-
bly, impressed verdict which the public,
who will for the first time be admitted to-
day (May ~ to judge for themselves, will
approve and confirm.
The collection comprises two busts-one
of Roschetti, as Mdrgarettd, and one of
"Maidenhood,' and four statues-"Echo,"
"The Mulatto Girl" "The Battle Story"
and "La Contadinnella," and a beautiful
statuette f"Sappho Meditatng the Plunge"
All these are in Carrara marble, and were
made at the sculptor's studio at Florence, as
well as plaster model of the national mon
ument to Abraham Lincoln, which stands
some fifteen feet high, and dcservedly at
tracted many encomiums.
Few of our sculptors have ever exhibited
so many works simultaneously, and none
before life-sized group. The Battle Sto-
ry" is a group, made up of returned sol
dier telling how the field was won, to his lit
tie girl, whom he holds on his knee.
This is the most notable work of the ex-
hibition, and shows the boldness of the ar
fist, as well as his genius, in so successfully
attempting one of the most difficult things
in sculpture. The officer has warmed with
his subject, and is fighting the battle over
again, while his child is most completely alb
sorbed in his story. The face of the girl is
thoughtful beyond her years, is of the @s-
thetic instead of the jolly round type; and
her figure, clinging yet eager, alarmed yet
firm, grieved by tales of blood, yet hopeful
for victory, is eloquent in every part and
line The soldier is well portrayed. His
attitude, his gestures, his countenance, all
convey ideas of his prowess in battle and
truthfulness in narration.
"Echo," heretofore called by some for
eigner the ''most kissable lady in white, has
just sounded her horn, and is listening TO the
tar-away reply to its call
The "Mulatto Girl is idealized in features
and form, and is dancing through the corn,
playing "the bones," after just hearing she
is free.
"La Contadinnella," or country girl, is
feeding her chickens, and seemed particular
ly to take with the ladies.
We shall reserve our remarks about the
monument for another occasion, for the ar
fist has given us in it SO many things 10
think of, and it presents so many points Tor
remark, that the intended limit of this report
precludes our going into the matter Suffice
it to say, that the statues at the base are in
tended TO be life-size, and the statue of Lin
coin ut the top TO be colossal, and the shaft
on which he stands to be 100 feet high.

The Suffrage bill, lately lost in the Senate
proposed to enfranchisc Blacks
and Rebels alike (neither class being now
allowed to votc) OF course, it provoked
opposition from opposite sides, whereby it
was defeated-16 to 5. That defeat, how
ever, is not final. In supporting the bill, Mr.
Trimble of Davidson said
"Now, as to the negro, justice, reason,
common sense, aud Nature herself, all unite
in the demand that all human beings who
have share in our society, obey the laws,
deport themselves honorably and honestly,
and bear the burdens of government, shall
be allowed to participate in saying who shall
control the Government. | am for Il true
democracy-not that modern democracy
which wears the livery of heaven to serve
the devil in,' but the voice of the people ex-
pressed through the ballot-box. l believe
in it, and accept it as the last, best, highest
development ofpolitical philosophy. There
is an idea with some that only the intelligent
class ought to vote. Intelligence dwells
with the mass of society. do not base suf-
frage on intellectual knowledge, but on the
knowledge of moral duties, for the heart
thinks more wisely than the head, and the
scholar, if he lack moral light, dwells in
Egypt. | keep my eye fixed on the policy
of the nation, on the bright constellation OF
the Thrty-SiX."
Such sentiments can be voted down but
they will not stay down. Their triumph is
but a question of time.

Gov. Orr of South Carolina, has expressed
his opinion regarding the teaching of freed
people. He believes it is good for them and
good for the State. He says the teachers
shall be protected in their duties, and that
the prejudice against them and their occupa-
ton is disappearing.
There was a large attendance at the
Sheep Breeders and Wool Growers Exhibi-
ton which commenced at Rochester, N. Y,
last Tuesday. The weather is fine and the
display of sheep good, 1t win undoubtedly
be the largest sheep exhibition ever held in
the United States
Mr.. Washbune of Illinois, offered reso-
luton, which was adopted, directing the
Committee on Banking to examine into all
the facts and circumstances connected with
the recent failure of the Merchants Nation
al Bank of Washington and other banks,
and to report to the House the amount of
Government money deposited in such banks,
and by whom, the cause of their failure, and
also what further legislation is necessary in
relation TO the National Banks, to protect
the public and the Government, with power
to send for persons and papers, and to ex-
anime witnesses under oath.
The Parliament of Canada is summoned
by Lord Monk to meet for the dispatch of
business ON the 9Th of June. The main
business before it will be the question of n
Confederation of all the Provinces, and the
introduction of various measures to meet the
changed condition of their commercial rela-
tons with the United States. Among these
measures, it is said, will be one or more look
ing to the opening up of free trade in GER
tain commodities between British America
and the West Indies, British Guiana, and
possibly Brazil. Subsidies for steamship
line connecting Halifax with various West
Indian ports are also to be proposed. And
if such work as this should engage the at
tention of the Parliament about to assemble
it will certainly be much more honorably
occupied than any Provincial Legislature
has been for number of years past In
providing for their material prosperity, the
Provincials will do far better than in reviv-
ing their old faction fights, and changing
their government every six months.

Congressional.

Mr.. Morrill, chairman of the Committee
of Ways and Means has reported bill to
the House to levy on all horses, mules, cat
tie, sheep, hogs, and other live animals i'm
ported from foreign countries, a duty of
twenty per cent, I'D ualOrem He said that
the Internal Revenue BILL which would be
reported that day, would have to be acted
upou before the Tariff bill, and it was there
fore necessary to report this special bill in
advance, because there was now no duty
imposed on live animals imported, and he
understood that the Canadians were sending
sheep over the border and having them shorn
on this side so as to evade the duty on WOOL
The bill was considered and passed.
The Committee on Reconstruction have
reported to Congress the following Bill
which is now under consideration.
BE 1t resolved by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of
America, in Congress assembled, two thirds
of both houses concurring, that the follow
ing article be proposed to the legislatures of
the several States, as an amendment to the
constitution of the United States, which,
when ratified by three-fourths of said legis-
latures, shall be valid as part of the constitu-

Article -. Section |. No State shall
make or enforce any law which shall abridge
the privilege or immunities of citizens Of the
United States nor shall any State deprive
any person of life, liberty, or property, with

son within its jurisdiction the equal protect

Summary Of News.

Gov. Hawley of Connecticut, in his inau-
gural address, took strong grounds in favor
of negro suffrage, and advised that it again
be submitted to a vote of the people Of the
State. With reference to Federal relations,
he supports the measures advocated and up
held by the majority in Congress.
An attempt was made to ussassinate the
Emperor OF Russia OH the 18th ult The
motive of the deed il is hard to divine, The
Emperor is liberal and progressive, and has
done a good work in the fhrthering of the
emancipation of the serfs. 1t is said that
the Emperor himself seized the culprit, ask
Ing him quietly-"What have / ever done to
you, that you should seek my life?"
The st. Louis Democrat records the fact,
that "some $4,000 tons of railroad iron are
about to pass up the Missouri river to ON
aha" and suggests that the item is of sutli-
Gent importance to provoke the inquiry,
"why iron rails might not be manufactured
at st. Louis" The inquiry is considerably
expanded by the suggestion, that the rails in
question were manufactured in England, and
have been hauled through Pennsylvania over
beds of iron and coal, whereof better rails
can be made to st. Louis, where all the ele-
ments abound for making as good rail as
can be made anywhere.
The Boston Herald says it is believed that
the change in the tax on incomes under the
new internal revenue bill, will make a re-
duction of nearly S20,000000; that on gen.
fo of oh mill /.
that on clothing and boots and shoes of not
less than ten millions; that on brokers' sales
of nearly two and a half millions; that on
tobacco and cigars of eight hundred thou
sand: that on sugar and molasses, and the
receipts of sugar refners, of half a million
that on soap of three hundred thousand; that
on salt of two hundred thousand; that on
iron of all kinds of over one million; that on
crude petroleum of one million; that on
gross receipts of express companies of near
" five millions, and that on all other arti-
cles of something like twenty millions; thus
making an aggregate reduction in the bur-
den of taxation of S75,000,000.
The President has approved the joint res
olution declaring that it is The duty and the
privilege Of Congress to express the graft
tude of the nation to the officers, soldiers
and seamen of the United States, by whose
valor and endurance, on the land and on the
sea, the rebellion has been crushed, and its
pride and power humbled, and by whose fl
deity to the cause of freedom the govern
ment of the people has been preserved and
maintained, and by whose orderly return
from the fire and blood Of civil war to the
peaceful pursuits of private life, the exalt-
ing and enrolling influence of free institu-
tons upon a nation has been signally mani
tested to the world,

Mines.

The Mining Ne,cs says: The recent dis
coveries of precious metals in Virginia,
Maryland, New York, Vermont and New
Hampshire, would seem to indicate that the
Atlantic slope is good field for gold and
silver mining. Northern Georgia and Ala
bama, North Carolina and Virginia, have
had their gold mines worked at intervals for
years.
On the same range in Maryland, aurifer-
Gus quartz lodges Of apparent great richness
are now being developed In Pennsylvania
silver has been found, but not in paying
quantities. The search may not be made in
vain, in northwestern New Jersey. In New
York and Connecticut the discoveries have
been made. Massachusetts, may yet hope
to boast of its gold mines. Vermont has its
gold placers, which have been worked with
little profit, and doubtless the adjacent
mountains will be found to contain aurifer-
Gus quartz veins if explored. The same
range continues to New Hampshire, in
which gold mines are now being worked. A
private note just from friend in the Gran
ite State says "Some rich mines have been
discovered in this State. A young girl elev-
en- years old. pounded with a fiat iron $13
worth of gold from the quartz in one day.
Big thing. Also silver mines where the
metal will run right out by smelling" This
same range of gold and silver ores extends
to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, where
the mines are being worked with good re-
suits. Truly we shall be the greatest gold
and silver producing country in the world.

STARVATION IN THE SOUTH.-The
amount Of suffering among the destitute Of
Alabama is not generally known. The peO-
pie of Marshall and the counties around
have been almost upon the point of starva-
ton, and have probably been saved from
such a death by the efforts Of Senator Win
ston, Judge Wyeth and other prominent
citizens of North Alabama. A loan was eff
fected in this city among the merchants of
$4,000 to aid in supplying their wants, and
the people of Huntsville, Nashville and
Louisville have responded nobly to the calls
made upon them. Other societies are in
equally destitute circumstances. Col. Rob-
ert I. Smith, of Randolph, is now in this
city, and from him we learn that scenes are
'citneSsed daily in that county that lcOuld
drdp tears from the stOutest heart. as many
as three hundred WOmen hare been seen at

walk from ID To 20 miles, and it must in

cause tender females to undertake and I'M
dergo so much privation and suffering. Inc
amount allowed by the Government has
done much good, but il is not near enough
to relieve the wants Of the pcople.--hont-

Purity-MateriaI, Moral.

The expectation of visit from the chol-
era has aroused our people to the necessity
OF cleanliness. Fearing the ravages of this
dreadful seourge, they have set themselves
vigorously at work to ferret out and cleanse
the hlthy spots IN their cellars, houses, out
buildings and premises generally. Cities,
towns and villages have seemed to vie with
each other in their efforts 10 be clean. This
is well. We rejoice at it,. But are there
not other evils among us, all over our land,
other impurities that demand our attention.
What is to be said of the petty crimes.--the
thefts, bnrglaries and drunkenness that are
so rifeP What of the greater crimes, the
cold-blooded murders and horrid butcheries
That we hear of? Is there not need of TAX
ing some effective measures of freeing soci-
ETY. nom these? 1t Is stated that there new
or has been time when so many crimes
were committed in our own State as now.
Whether this be true or not, we know they

Colorado.

A bill TO admit Colorado as a State into
the Union, has passed both Houses Of Con-
gress. Its constitution contains the proyis-
ion that only white citizens shall enjoy the
right of suffrage, thus ENGRAVING in its organ
ic law this relic of barbarism. We are disap-
pointed at this act We had supposed that
our legislators, at least majority of them,
had learned by the sad experience of the
past few years, that it is dangerous, periious
in the extreme, to forego justice, the law of
righteousness, for the sake of any anticipat-
ed party advantage or present gain. But
this old prejudice of color, Of race, it seems
still clings to MS, still biunts the moral per-
ceptions of our legislators, still tempts men,
and successfully too, TO ignore the claims of
justice, the doctrines of the Declaration Of
the demands Of the spirit of the age. The
constitutional objections against demanding
of the seeded States as condition Of re-
construction the suffrage Of the negroes, are
not valid in this case, and there is not "A sin
gle reason for the restriction of suffrage to
those who happen to be white, and we are
deeply grieved that Senators and Represen-
tatiyes, and so large number too, should
be found at this day to sanction a provision
so uncalled for, so unjust, so undemocratic,
so abhorrent to the spirit of Christian civil
ization, and their action in this matter de-
serves severe rebuke. We have, however
one consolation, and that is, that the Sena-
tors and Representatives of Vermont have
clean record in this matter, They all gave
their vote against the admission of Colorado
TO the Union with that black stain on her
constitution, and they have our hearty
thanks, and we doubt not, the thanks of all
their right-minded constituents. Mr.. Ed.
munds, especially, did himself and the State
he represents great credit by the manly ant
heightened speech which he made when thu
subject was before the Senate. And nov
we sincerely hope the President will vet
the bill.
