" great moral ideas" this party of "princi-
ple"-these "qufet and reticent fellows, in
ofice"-shculd cling with so much tenacity
20 places of trust and profit under an ad-
Fministration they so much despise.
We are surprised that Mr.. Greeley calls
u pom Congress to usurp the power OF
the executive to "savc Republicans in office,''
1t will need no argument hereafter to prove
that the great handspring of all their acts
isyeffies for'tho sake of plunder-that their
"principles" and their pockets are identical
that they are willing to forego even the
precious privilege ofabusingthe President,
if he will only keepthem in office. For
uey told the President this in his love let
ter. DIR. P. John, promised a triumphant
support in his love letter. "L. 0. H."

says, doing all he could for the Tribune"
while. an Office. What quiet, eely set of
fellows, they all are"-in office?
Notwithstanding their vigorous wrig-
gle and contortions out of office, we should
not object if the President took off the
nasty Shiny hide of every cuss of them. =
We doubt the efficacy, of even hot vine
gar bath to cleanse them of their corrup-
tions, and impurities, but as all other rene
dies have failed, let this be tried.
Ofcourse 81. o. H." is 90. Fl. L., or
Otis Ii. Loomis, the defunct Postmaster of
MeshoPpen. Ofcourse he "always work
ed to give the Tribune circulation. Of
course now that he is "kicked out of office"
he won't be "quiet and reticent' any longer,
but will henceforth wriggle like a skinned
eel in hot vinegar" Oh course ''the circun,-
stances in regard to my (his) removal are
pery interesting" Of course they SIS one of
The most notorious acts &C." (The facts
were published in the n. B. Democrat.
hence their notoriety- Everybody reads

Of course Capt. Burr, the wounded sol
dier, is " copuerhead," The skinned

reptile, in hot vinegar won't lie-he only
''wriggles."
OF course "L. o. H." will continue to

1t is indeed refreshing, says the Dansille

1t is indeed refreshing, says the Dansille
Zntelligencer, to read the above letter, en-
anating from the pen of Secretary Seward.
1t seems but a few months since we heard
that little bell, to indicate the arrest and
imprisonment of some bold and indepen-
dent Democrat who had dared to question
the wisdom or policy of the Government
and to-day we fiud;hlm not only ready but
anxious to meet and counsel with Demo-
Gratis, yes and with Southern Gentlemen
too in reference to the course the govern
ment should pursue, and to join with them
in demonstrating against the unwise, unjust
and unconstitutional action of the present
Radical Republican Congress. We re-
joice to see Mr.. Seward coming out with
this endorsement of the policy which the
Democratic party has all the while sustain
ed. Better late than never" But we
think ifSecretary Seward and some others
had seen as far into the mill stone about
the breaking out of the war as they now
profess to do, the work of reconstruction
would long since have been completed.
While we then commend the letter of
Mr.. Seward, we think it behooves the
Democrats to keep an eye on him and to
watch carfully the movements of these new
converts. Under and behind all these
loud professions may be deep designs
We are willing that Mr., Seward shall come
in and help us save the Union, but we are
not willing that he shall get the Democra-
cy transferred to Mr.. Seward or Mr.. John
son or any other man. ...

GEN7Rous.-In the Congressional pro.
ceedings of Saturday last we found the fol.
lowing
Mr., Nblack, of Indiana, from the Com.
mites on Appropriations, reported bill to
provide for, and TO regulate the compensa-
tion of Senators, Representative and Dele
gates in Congress. Read twice, ordered to
be printed, and postponed till Wednesday
next.
The bill fixes the compensation at 900
for each Congressman and the mileage at the
rate of ten cents per mile. The President
of the Senate is to have the same compen-
sation as the Vice President of the United
States, and the Speaker Is to have double
the compensation of members, except as to.
the mileage, which is to be the same. To-
| case of the death of member. his repre-
| EseDtatiges are to receive at the rate of $4.-
900 per anDum from date of the commence
ment of Congress up to the time OF death,
and his successor is TO be paid from thst
day. Tie bill Is to apply to the members Of
the present Congress from the 4th of March,
1866, ercept as to mileage.
The above modest proposition deserves
the especial notice of tax payers throughout
the country. These liberal-minded gentle
men propose TO increase their own pay one
thousand dollars per annum, although they
knew what their compensation was when
they were elected We are anxious to see
the yeas and nays upon this question.-Ex.

STEALING FRUIT. : As the season n,
fruit and berries approaches, our citizen.
are suffering from the depredations of petlv
thieves and and pilferers, in many casss
the children of respectable people whose
parents do not dream of the occupation of
their offspring. Under the technicalities Of
the common law, these annoying offenders
could generally escape clear of all conse-
quences. At most they could be in danger
but of a sound thrashing by the angry own.
er, who then became himself liable for pros.
ecution for assault and battery. Now things
are changed. Under the act of 1860, the
stealing of fruit from the. tree yor. on the
ground is serious offence, and the remedv
is-simple and prompt. By that -judicious
and effective law the wilful taking and car.
rying away of fruit, vegetables, ,plants, vines,
shrubs or trees, is made misdemeanor
punishable in the Court of Quarter Ses-
sions, and rendering the offender liable to a
fine of $50 and imprisonment for thirty
days. The course of proceedings under
this act is plain and easy. A complaint
before any Alderman or Justice of the
Peace is all that any person has to do. The
law will do the rest This is the criminal
remedy. For those who prefer it there is a
civil remedy. BY another section, any one
who shall wilfully enter or break down.
through or over any orchard. garden, yard
or fence, hot-bed or green house, or who
shall wrongfuly club, cut, stone. break,
bark. or mutilate any tree, shrub, bush, vine,
&c, or walk over, beat down, or trample,
or in anyway injure any grain, grass, wires,
vegetables, or crops, shall, on conviction
before any Alderman or Justice of the
Peace, or in any court, have judgment
against him in any sum not less than SIS or
more than 500 with costs. This fine is to
90 one half to the informant and one half
to the occupant or owner Of the land. In
default Of payment, the offender must 60
to jail The law now provides full and
simple remedy against the plundering and
damaging of gardens or yards, and it is the
fault OF the owner if they suffer.

ANOTHER NEGRO MURDER.-The as
sassination of the Hon. Barnwell Rhett, Of
South Carolina, was announced by tele-
graph Yesterday. On the morning of the
Sd, while going to his plantation, near
Charleston, he received two loads from a
double -barreled shot gun, one load break
ing his arm, the other penetrating his side
and entering his lungs. About twenty
minutes after receiving the wounds hefell
from his horse and died. 1t is not known
definitely who the murderer WAS, but it is
supposed to be negro who had expressed
strong animosity against the family. OF
course this murder was instigated by the
Radicals of the day, and they are urging
on q war of races.

AN UNDENIABLE FAcT.-When man
gets few dollars worth of goods,puts them
in room and sits down by the side oftheIn
waiting tor customers, he follows pretty
closely the style of some of our merchants
for past years. He don't advertise-he
don't send out circulars-he merely waits.
Now, if a customer comes, he must pay q
large price for what he gets, because the
sales are few, and the tradesmen must live
out of his profits. The goods get old and
stale, and customers always lose money
by dealing with men who do the mud.road,

g. The New York Herald and kindred

81 The New York Herald and kindred
sheets are very much concerned about
what they term the disbandment of the
Democratic party, in view of the CoQven-
tion called to consider national affairs in
Philadelphia. There is not the slightest
necessity for getting into fever about the
Democratic organization or name. There
will be no change in either and no Con-
vention will attempt it, but the considera-
ton of the interests of the whole people is
a subject SO vital and all pervading, as to
engage the energies OF all decent men. But
when it comes to baptizing new party or
burying an old one is quite different bu-
siness. We are very certain if there is
any dead party wants interment it is OF
the Democratic, and Philadelphia is not
the place, nor the 14th of August the time
for that grave ceremony.-Er.

Only WHITE GIRL.-The World re
marks that as there is no opportunity nova
days to shed tears of sympathetic sorrow
over the sufferings of tle ''scourged slave,'
even in reconstructed Texas, we commend
to the easily moved-to- tears women and
men of Massachusetts the recent case of a
young lady, sixteen years of age, who was
soundly fogged in the Aliston Grammar
School, of Cambridge, Mass. within sight
aud hearing of SUMMERS Alma Mater, Har-
ward, and almost under the shadow of that
cradle liberty Fencuil Hall. The evidence
shows that the young lady, for a some
what impudent answer when reprimarded
for whispering. was ordered into recita-
tion room, where twenty blows with strap
were administered by the lady assistant,
while another held her hand over her
mouth to stop her screams. During the
punishment the master came in and assisted
in holding her, and piano was playing to
drown the noise. ....
But the most singular circumstance con
nected with this outrage is the vote of the
school committee that the whipping of a
young lady, sixteen years of age, "is in ac-
cordance with the rules for the government
of the public schools of Cambridge
Therefore the committee declined to take
notice ofthis case; but it promises to be
brought to the notice of the grand jury
Meanwhile, had this punishment been in
ficted upon some tough, old, and recently
reconstructed darkey in Mississippi, the
whole State of Massachusetts would have
been Mortified and indignant. .
