PoLITENEss UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
A gentleman not thousand miles
from New York, had the exhuberant
fortune of five successive wives. He
had buried them, one after another
as death made its demand upon
them, and three or four of them
happened to be in different places, at
quite a distance from each other. Two
or three of them were in different
towns. To reconcile his sense of
order and numerical duty, he started
on tour of collection to bury them
all in one place. He mounted the
wagon himself and drove around till
he had got them all together in one
load, and then, as fate would have it,
was obliged to drive by the house
where the lady Of bis present address
es, to whom he had offered himself,
was sitting at the open window.
Seeing her sitting there, he bowed to
her, as any gentleman would, as he
drove by with bis precious load of
five collins with their contents. It
was too much for the lady; she declar-
ed she never would have him, and has
to this day kept her word.

The High Prlce ofsIeat,

a New York journal contains an ar
ticle upon subject which is of much
Interest. 1t is in relation to the profits
upon butchers meat, the gains upon
which are, under the present ihordinate
prices, said to be enormous. Applying
figures to facts; it is estimated that the
average price of sheep at the drove
yards for the past month has been
eleven cents per pound. It is stated
that a good sheep viii weigh in the
carcass seventy pounds, costing seven
dollars and seventy cents. This is re-
tailed by the butcher at twenty-five
cents per pound for twenty five pounds
Of chops, twenty cents per pound for
coarse meat. The whole retail product
is, therefore, fourteen dollars and q
quarter per sheep, and the profit upon
q single carcass is about eighty live
per cent, BY the same process
1T is found that the profits oil
bulloclS@ of eIghT hundred pounds
viii cost about seventeen and
Ia half cents per pound, net, or one
hundred and forty dollars for the car
cass. Cut up, the hide and other parts
preserved, it will sell, at one hundred
and seVenty-eight dollars and twenty
cents, leaving a profit of thirty-eight
dollars and twenty cents, or about
twenty seven per cent. to the butcher.
This is not so bad as more than three
times the profits of the beef butchers,
IL is said thdt the veal butchers do
equally us well. The profits of the
mutton butchers are out Of all proper
tiUu, and they nre intolerable and bur-
densome. Their prices are all too high,
and If thaY Will lot, reduce them, the
people might compel them. rbynthen-
selves reducing the amount of mutton
which they eat. Formerly 1t, was supl
posed that beef was the dear meat, and
there was a set-toward mutton by the
economical. But with the demand for
theYEcompelus us to bear has become too
heavy to- be- endured without COM

: - q .FfH
b The latest intelligence from head
quarters is that our accommodating
and univ versally acceptable Postmaster,
Thomas Hagan, has been removed and
Thomas Griffin appointed in his place.
We have. only to say. that as a change
was foreordained, as a part of "Ihy
policy the new appointee is as accept
able as anyone else; nevertheless, the
removal of Postmasters without cause,
in small places like this, and some
dozen others in West Virginia, it strik es
us is q very petty business for a party
who is bent on breeonstructing whole
States after a pattern of his own. 1t is
better calculated to bring the policy
into derision than to gain it respect.
If any nationalfend is expected to be
accompl plished by such means, the Pres
ident is yet to learn enough about hu-
man nature 70 that those who can be
brought into subserviency are very few
in number in proportion to those whom
the idea either of bribery or compulsion
Will drive In the other direction. This
one single act will make more votes
here for Hubbard this fall than all the
speeches and publications that can be
sent through the post Office in az year.

The DEvELoPMENTs OF THE PREsI-
DENTAL ToUR.-In the Middle and
Northwestern States the tour OF Pres
ident johnson has been attended with
results by no means pleasing to the true
patriot. 1t does not diminish the feel
ing OF encouragement to remember
that the unpleasant features of the af-
tair are due to the insane animosity of
radical politicians. 1t would be no
comfort to the friends of a murdered
man to know that the murderer was a
hunatic. Neither can we believe that
such scenes as have been enacted in
some of the cities would have been per-
trolling element was opposed 70 such
manifestations. The communilies.
therefore, in which these indignitIes
have been peTpetrated are Justly re .
spOnsible. When Andrew JOHNSON.
then Senator from Tennessee. was
burnt in eihgy at Lynchburg, twas be-
cause the sentiment Of that Community
then approved it. When heWas insult
ed and abused at Cleveland, Detroit and
Springfield, it was due TO the anala-
gous reason. We may, therefore, lIe-
neve that this tour of the President has
Drought to light feeling of opposition
70 MS patriotic policy, which it will re-
quire unpreeeden effort toovercome.
The Demonstrations in Virginia were
followed by maiorities for secession.
II LETT to work out their results in the
North, they will be followed by major
tiles for rampant radicalism. We would
gladly depict more pleasant prospect
IL reason approved it. 1t does not, and
1t would be folly TO shut our eyes to the
truth.

The editor of the Springfield Repubti-

son man, finds himself getting dis
gusted in spite Of all his predelic-
tions TO the contrary. In his last
received paper he says:
"rhe Presidents attempt in his st.
Louis speech tothrOw the responsibility
of the New Orleans massacre upon the
radicals in Congress is shocking. 1t is
not at all relieved by the provocation
in similar charges against himself. 1t is
doubtless true that those who were en-
gagged in the attempt to resuscitate the
dead Louisiana Convention of 1854 had
received encouragement that the action
of the Convention would be recognized
as legitimate by Congress; but granting
everything alleged as to the illegitimacy
OF the Convention and its design to dis
place the existing State government by
another based upon the always
loyal and negro voters, is there
in all, this "A Justification, even a
palliatiOn, of the deliberate massacre
OF these men by the police and the mob?
No, the argument of the President on
this point is US defective as its purpose
is horrible. To what n low condition

dent and Congressman can hull at each

of this disgraceful businesS2 Or must
1t go on till tue nation is irretrievably
dishonored, and the glory of our grand
