A FATAL STEP.

I'm not the sort Of man, you know,
Who sentimentaliZes often
But this, believe me, was blow
Demanding change of air to soften.
The girl was lovely as a grace;
Her dress the sweetest ever put on;
l set my hand upon her face
Her dress only set my foot on.
It 2cds silly step to take,
And half the room was in litter,
"a fact which merely serves to make
Remorse additionally bitter.)
Those trains are utterly absurd
wonder why the women wear them;
They seem designed, upon my word,
For folks to tread upon and tear them.
She turned, and gave me such glance
She smiled but oh! in such a manner,
Farewell, said l. my only chance
OF Chote or Godfrey, Strauss or Lanner.
I think blushed-I know bowed
And raised my erring patent leather
Laid half the blame upon the crowd,
And half upon the sultry weather.
/ stayed an hour; l talked a bit
With guarUs and people from the city,
My hearers, when made hit,
Were kind enough to think me witty.
They little knew, good easy men !
The pangs that lay beneath my laughter
Pangs that were only stitied then,
To sting the more forever after.
The seasons nearly at an end;
There's joy at least, in that reflection;
4 continental tour may tend
To dull the edge OfrecOllectiOn.
[ might, perchance. in other climes,
Forget my sense of self adherence,
Should peace return with better times,
And Gear again the way to Florence.

A PERP1Ex1NG QUESTION. Judge Ad-
vocate General Holt the Titus Oates of
the Radical party, is doubtless exceedingly
unhappy as to what use to turn John Sur
ratt. of whose recent capture we have read
so much. Anxious as he has heretofore
been to hang everybody more respectable
than himself upon whom he could lay his
unclean hands, he thinks, We expect, that
the poorest use he can now make of Sur
ratt will be to hang him. The brief source
of embarrassment about the prisoner seems
to be whether he shall be made to prove
that President Davis or President johnson
assassinated poor Mr.. Lincoln. We think
il very probable that, for sufficient con-
sideration, the unlucky Surratt will swear
that Messrs Davis and Johnson were both
engaged in the plot to kill him.

Shocking Scene.

A ship called the Elizabeth Buckham
was recently wrecked on the English coast,
near Whitehaven. A correspondent of
the Liverpool Hercmy, November Goth,
says:
Since the wreck numbers of puncheons
of rum have been washed on shore near
New Brighton. It would seem that the
news of the loss of "rum ship" spread
like wild-fre among the lower orders of the
people on the Chesire coast and crowds
made their way to New Brighton to see
seem to have been actuated by no honest
motives; there could be little doubt that
they had been enticed there with the hope
of picking up some rum casks which,
might float ashore and getting drunk
cheap. The custom officers took
charge of upwards of 13Q puncheons
of rum, several bales of cotton, and
sugar hogsheads, that had been secured.
But many of the rum casks had been "tap-
ped before they fell into the hands of the
coast guardSmen and the drinking the
raw rum by those who procured it resulted
IN scene of debauchery perfectly indie
scrlbable. Men and women were to be seen
in all stages of intoxication, and some sot-
tish fellows were observed lying in corners
sleeping off the effects of their debauch.-
One youth named Foulds, related to per-
son who keeps hotel at New Brighton,
managed to get some of the rum, drank it,
and such were the consequences that, not
wlthstandlng every medical attention, he
succumbed to the fatal effects of the drink
man employed as painter emptied his
paint can, wiped it out with bunch of
grass, filled it with rum, took drink, fell
on his head in pool of water, and had it
not been for some passers by ywould no doubt
have lost his life; as it is, he is at present in
a dangerous state from the effects of the
rum. Many cases of a similar kind could
be mentioned. On Tuesday night and yes
terday morning men, women and even
children were found in q state of beastly
lntoxication among the sand hills, and were
removed as soon as possible to their differ
ent homes, where they were attended to, in
some cases stomach-pumps having to be ap-
piled. These are not the only disgraceful
features connected with this wreck. Sew
eral females Zone of whom is respectfully
connected) went down to look at the rem
nants of the wreck. They soon became
helpless, and, while in that state, were
treated in a most foul and atrocious man
ner. One of them was found lying in the
sand hills quite insensible, and in such
state as to leave little doubt that she had
been shanlefully treated.

IHE WASHINGTON NEGROES AND THE SUF-
FRAGE BILL.-There was great rejoicing
among the colored population in Washing
ton on Friday night over the passage of the
suffrage bill in the House of Representa-
tives. They say they intend to select
Sayles j. Bowen, now postmaster of that
city, as their candidate for Mayor, and two
years hence they will put up one of their
own race as their candidate for that office.
There is no doubt that the President will
veto the bill, though of course, it will be
passed nevertheless in both Houses of Con-
gress by a two-thirds vote.
The Washington Union of Friday says
The bill allowing unqualified negro suf-
frage in the District of Columbia, passed
the Senate yesterday by vote of thirty
two to thirteen. so the fiat has gone forth,
and the fate of the two cities is seald. The
rights of the people have been trampled
under foot Step by step the Radicals in
and out of Congress have been deprivinga
portion of the people of their rights. Lit
tie by little have they been disregarding
the wishes of the people of portion of the
country, until they have no rights now
that Congress care to respect At our next
election for mayor and city councils, at least,
one thousand ignorant negroes W II go TO the
polls and cast their ballots beside the white
man. This IS not all they will have the right
to elect from their number members of the
corporation and compel the white man to sit
in council with the black man. We have seen
election riots in this city-we have seen the
blood of the white man fow-but we have
seen nothing compared to what is in store
for us. We trembie for the result. The
citizens of this District are white, and have
shown in days gone by that they have pa
tience, but there is bound beyond which
patience ceases to be a virtue They have
hoped for better things, but have hoped in
vain; they have hoped that their almost
unanimous desire would be respected, but
the sequel shows to the contrary.
INTERNAL REvENUE.-The receipts from
internal revenue sources for the present fis-
cal year, commencing July 1866 up to the
18th instant inclusive, amount to the heavy
aggregate of $157, ZOO, 900. This gives an
average of over $3.50, 600 per diem for near
ly six months past, or one-half of the fiscal
year of 1867. If this average should con-
tinue for the balance of the year in ques-
ton, the total revenue received from this
source alone, independent of the customs
and other sources, will reach the enormous
sum of nearly $350,0ON 000-much greater.
than the aggregate for the fiscal year 1866,
which amounted to BOG, 100000.
