Sham Patriotism.

Mr.: STEVENS is very bitter man. His
parliamentary effects arc all tinctured with
gall, and he delights to assail Mr. JOHNSON
on every occasion, with sneers, inSinuations,
and downright charges. But, for the chapter
in the biography of Mr.. STEVENS, connected
with the buck shot-war," where he displayed
rather more discretion than valor, we should
say that he was better fitted to adorn
Camanche lodge, than the halls of Congress;
he has all the other virtues which the red
men admire; and would torture a prisoner, for
example, with the most exquisite skill. 20,
We are not painting fattering picture
of Mr. STEVENS, but it will be generally re-
cognized as faithful to the original IL is in
obedience to these savage instincts of his, that
ne has set himself up as Inquisitor General of
his party. In this capacity, he delights to
assal all who even seem to be the friends of
the South. He strikes at these rcmorselessly,
and hence he has just favored us with one of
his peculiar war-dances, round Mr.. JOHNSON
and Mr.. SEWARD.
- In the debate on Thursday last, on the
Constitutional Amendment, then before the
House, he said that the PRESIDENT and his
Prime Minister, after acts of frank usurpa-
tion," now ''insolently demand that the
Southern States shall be represented in Con-
gress."
"The grave danger" he declares is, that,
"the seceders may soon overwhelm the loyal
men i'll Congress" I'm ...-5.
Now, the fact is patent to every man in the
land, that the disunion men have already
overwhelmed Congress. ~
4 The doctrine of the "seceders" has been
snatched up by the dominant majority, and
what the people of the South endeavored to
do-to-wit to separate from the North-the
Radicals have insisted on carrying into effect.
This cannot be denied Nor can the motive
be concealed The talk about equal rights
and all that, is mere bosh, for until these
pious people have cast the beam out of their
own eye, they cannot, with any decency, at
feet solcitude about the mote in ours until
they give the negro all they claim for him in
the South, they must stand convicted Of bold
hypocrisy gt.. ....f.
1t is mere game for the stakes of place
and patronage, and power, and the vaunted
legislation which Mr.. STEVENS boasts as in
the interests Of equality and all that, is moth
ing more nor less than big parliamentary
basket to contain the loaves and fishes to be
picked up by Radical hands at the next Pre-
sidential election.
Dr.. JOHNSON said, patriotism means place

illustration of the truth of his dietum

! Mr. PHILLIPS declared, some time ago, in
a speech of his, that the South had come out
of the late war victorious. We, who are spe-
cially interested in this matter, have been,
and still remain under different impression
and the famous Committee of Stats-Slayers
inclined to dispute Mr. PHILLiPs's PROPOSE
ton. We did not "come out victorious" but
we find that we are beginning to effect the
customs of the North; aud, perhaps, in the
long run, may bring them to something like
our standard of civilization. h Who knows ?
We have read of such things before, and, as
all history is said to repeat itself, Mr. PHIL-
LIPS may be near the mark, if in advance of
the tact. % s.js G,.l p3zs ld-- 474.6I9s.

SINGULAR AFFAIR.-In Philadelphia, on
Wednesday afternoon, about o'clock, as
q young girl named Louisa Theobold, aged
eight years, in company with her cousin,
Allen Rhoads, aged three years, was pass
ing along the pavement at the southwest
corner Of st. John and Canal streets, she
saw her little cousin who was with her fall.
She Immediately summoned aid and had
him taken to her fathers residence, corner
OF Third and Poplar streets. A doctor
was called in, who found cut on the
child's left shoulder, which he supposed
resulted from the little fellow striking a
sharp substance as he fell. The child sank
rapidly, and died on the following day.
coroner Taylor was notified Of the case.
ne al once proceeded to the house Of Mr..
Theobold, with DR.. Shapleigh, his surgeon.
The latter made post mortem examina-
ton on the body of the child. II resulted
in the discovery of Mimic bau which
bore evidence of having been scraped IN fiji
q smooth-bOr musket. The little c;rI
Louisa who was in company with the de-.
ceased at the time Of the accident saws
that she heard no report Of a pistol or gun.
Persons residing in the vicinity, on being
questioned by the coroner, stated they
heard no report Of o weapon at the time
alluded to.-NeU York paper.

THE TRIAL OF Mr.. DAvIs-OFrICIAL.-
The New York Times washington cores
pondent) has the following in regard to the
trial of Mr.. Davis:
Acknowledgement Speed, who returned
from the west last week, had lengthy in
teryiew with the President on Friday last
relative to the trial of jeff. Davis and the
indictment found by the Grand Jury at
Norfolk. Mr.. Speed gave his opinion as to
the legal character Of the indictment,
which opinion am not authorized to state.
The President impaired to the Attorney
General the substance of the views of
Chief Justice Chase about the propriety of
holding. court in Richmond. The position
Of Judge Chase / have given you in a
former dispatch. His fears were that there
was doubt among the military officers in
Virginia as to the effect of the peace pro-
clamation, and whether or not martial law
is abrogated. While these doubts exist,
Judge Chase is not willing to preside in a
United States Court in Virginia. If the
Chief Justice shall hesitate, or entertain
such fears when the IieXt term of the
United States Circuit Court is about to
convene, the President will issue an order
expressly declaring that the civil law is
supreme in all matters in which the civil
courts have jurisdiction. 1t is reported
that the Attorney General has no conf
dence in the indictment found against
Davis under the supervision of Judge I'm
derwood; but it is proper to state that the
report does not come from the best
authority"

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.

rOsTPoSEMENr OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL.
MISUNDERSTANDING SPEECHES ~ PRE-
rARATIoN -GENERAL HOWARD AND HIS
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. COMMITTEES, ETC.
WASHINGTON, May q, 1866.
There was much disappointment to-day
in consequence Of postponemcnt by the
Senate OF the report of the Reconstruction
Committee. Fessenden, on account OF ms
position as chairman of the Senate branch
OF the notorious sheen, intended TO open
debate on the measure, but being unwcil
he asked q delay until Wednesday, which
of course was granted. The probabilities
are that discussion on the measure VIII
last about ten days. Several lengthy icgai
arguments have been prepared Tor uei-
very, while stump speeches, calling ior no
concession to rebels on any terms, may DC
looked for as a certainty. There Is as
mnch bitterness of feeling in the Senate
rs in the lower branch of Congress, and
upon every occasion where there Is an OPP.
portunity for oratorical display this bad
blood shows itself.
Il is not likely that General Howard will
resign his position as Commissioner of the
Freedmen's Bureau. The reportsfrom the
Commissioners now in the south investi.
eating matters relative to the institution
over which he prcsides have not been in
the least satisfactory; but at the same time
he hopes to prove the contrary to what has
been officially reported by Stcedman: l,
is very probable that this will be hard
business. 1t is not difficult to know no"
the President regards the Bureau.
The concurrent resolution passed to-day
by the House, which provides for the ap,
pointment of committee to make per.
sonal investigation into the operations o
the Frecdmen's Bureau during its entire
term, is intended as a set-Off against the
disclosures that have just been made. The
establishment is surely coming to grief; but
its former good ~ character is to be shown
up before its demise, if possible.
Mr.. Eldridgc to-day introduced reso.
luton 10 provide for committee of three
members OF Congress to investigate the
murder of five negroes recently at Mobile,
and that the committee have power to send
tor persons and papers. This is about as
sensible as other resolutions Of like ma
ture which have been introduced, and the
burlesque which the author intended I,
make of the Memphis and other invcsti.
eating committees by the introduction o
this, pertaining to a Mobile murder, il
worthy of appreciation. TIMoN.
