HENRY. WARD BEECHER.- an,


HENRY. WARD BEEcHER. any
Of our readers ever see Henry Ward
6eccher? Drrr+5y5, Drrr4+55 fat aid vulgar Be
hold what the fancy of one of the
strong minded can make of him:
Some of Henry Ward Beecher's
parishioners are susceptible and carry
their admiration of the Rev. Beecher
to an excess. OF this number would
seem to be Miss Augusta Moore, an
enthusiastic young woman, who has
occasionally appeared i'll print, and
who has now succeeded in getting the
Harpers to publish book of hers
called Notes from Plymouth Pulpit.
In this book Miss Moore, alluding to
the idol of her. heart (where is Mrs.
Beecher?) talks of his ''glowing
eyes," ''soul-lit facc," and ''royal
brow" She declares that his body
is as elastic as rubber ball (where
did she find out that?) and has diverse
aspects ''like the mountains" a
"voice like a trumpet" ''fairy harp
strings" or "a chime of BELLS" IN
expression like the angels faces we
have seen in dreams,' his forehead
'ike sun-touched mountain" and
"his aspect altogether noble, beauti-
full, serene. Mr.. Beecher may we'll
pray to be delivered from such stuff
as this.

The DEsrkucT1vEs SNuspED.-The

IHE DESTKUCTTvES SNUBBED.-The
appeal of two eminent lawyers of the
South, against the application of the
test-oath in the Supreme Court, has
proved already a practical triumph.
In anticipation of direct defeat by
the verdict of that high tribunal, the
Black Republicans have attempted to
flank the movement by removing the
test In the case of lawyers practicing
before the Federal Judges. Mr.. Ste
vens himself, leading off in that
adroit, but rather late manmuvre, the
House of Representatives has actually
sustained resolution for the repeal
of the test-oath SO far as it applies to
lawyers. To taking time, in this way.
by the forelock, as the Republicans
have done, they yet have not saved
themselves. in effect, from the rebuke
of their virtual confession of the ad-
verse decision of the Supreme Court.
But we trust, as the road to the de-
feat of the test-oath has now been
pointed out plainly, that all the par
les who suffer under the disability of
that oath, will appeal from it at once
to the Supreme Court. Several agents
of the Treasury at the South arc re-
fused payment of their salaries be-
cause of their inability to submit to
that abominable test; and we hope
that they will II once appeal against
it by putting forward one or two of
their numbers, to resist it in the form
Of suits for payment, before the Fedc-
raj courts. .--Ne,o York Ne,cS.

A FISHING CoMpANY-A comp;

A FISHING CoMPANY.-A company
has been formed in New York with a
view of opening a fish and oyster
trade with Florida. Vessels have
been bought for this purpose, and
men skilled in all the details of the
business have been engaged. The
Indian River, the pioneer steamer of
the line, has already reached Florida,
and will soon be despatched North
with cargo. The oysters are to be
opened by steam apparatus. The
taking of fish and turtle will also con-
stitute portion of the business.

THE NEGRO IN THE WAY OF Co1.t

THE NEGRO IN THE WAY OF Co1o-
RADo.-Colorado has applied to Con-
gress for admission into the Union as
sovereign State. Some negroes
petitioned the Senate recently sfor-
bidding the banns'' in that case until
the Constitution of Colorado shall
have been SO modified as to have
leveled expressly M distinctions of
race and color. The people of the
territory have, however, not seen
proper to declare, in their fundamen-
tai law, that the black man is as good
rs the white, if not very much better;
and we shall not be at all surprised
that their application for admission
into the Union shall be resisted on
that ground. The extravagant vio-
lence Of the Summers and the Ste
vens' and the Kcllys may refuse Colo
RADIO admission until her Constitution
shall, at all events, guarantee the
right of suffrage to the blacks, and in
even that case will have but repeated,
in q milder form, the revolutionary
spirit in which they deal with the
representatives of the States of the
South. .-Ner York Nc.rs.

great sticklers for the theoretical

are ready to punish every one within
their power, whose opinion does not
accord with their own; hence the

dare to freely discuss questions Of

different from those reached by Henry
Wilson and "dwin M. Stanton! This
IS the free discussion these votaries

The OMAN IN GRAY The Yankee
giant in gray clothes" who paid q
friendly visit to Senator Wade, in
Washington, and who frightened the
Chronicle man into babbling about
assassination, it has been ascertained
was a man named Flcmming, origi-

A Rich BALE OF CorroN.-Many

a Rich BALE OF CoTToN.-Many
cotton bales arriving in New York
have to be overhauled, dirt and
stained cotton thrown out, and then
rebaled: The other day, two laborers,
in the discharge Of this duty, found,
in one of the bales, $27, 900 in gold.
One of them proposed to the other to
divide and keep mum, but the other
said he would report to the "boss. :"
The purchaser of the cotton claimed
the gold, and the seller claimed it, be-
cause the cotton was not delivered,
and for other reasons; and probably
the court will decide to whom this
rich mine belongs. The purchaser
gave the two laborers $400 each in
greenbacks.

serious idea of making trip to Ame-

various circumstances, until finally
the appearance of the cholera in
Paris caused her to abandon it indefi-

Abandoning tho Country.

Abandoning tho Country.
The Mobile Tribune, in comment-
ing on communication in it's CO.
lumns in favor of emigration to Bra
I'll, comedies with the views we
expressed yesterday on the same sub
iect, in the following eloquent and
just remarks:
"The soil which one has trod and
considered his own Inheritance, and
that of his children, they would not
abandon, unless they were moved by
some hope of bettering their condi-
ton. Let them try it, if they please,
but we tell them that their hearts will
remain here, no matter how far they
go. Their eyes will turn hitherward,
and the farther they go, the stronger
will be their passion to return. It is
human nature, and one of the most
respectable traits Of it. The stories
Of the Swiss, who is so noted for ad-
venture, and for the desire to see
new countries, and to fight for any
cause, are, in some measure, strong
proof of the power Of this passion.
The music of his native airs makes
him sick at heart; and there are nu-
merous well-attested proofs that he
has died from the disease which the
ancient Greeks found word for: that
is nostalgia-evidence that, in old
Greece, men were killed by home
sickness-love of the soil whereon
they were reared.
To come back to aprosaic style, we
do not believe that things are as bad
as they seem to those who are dis
posed to run away. We think that
the industry that will make man
prosperous in Brazil will make him
prosperous here. Here he is known.
There he is q stranger. Here he has
around him men who know and SYM
pathize with him. There he will
have around him men and customs
that he is unacquainted with. Here
he can find sympathy. How can he
find it there among strangers, who
cannot be expected to have any regard
for him? Here he has q foothold.
There he has none. If he start with
$4,000 in gold, he must expect to
spend every dollar of it before he can
gather the reward of his toll. Here
the $4,000, well managed, would
make him rich enough to provide
succor for his old age and educate
his children.
In short, he had better stay where
he is, and work up to the peace and
comfort which, with well-directed
labor, will be secured after awhile;
but, above this, we believe that it is
his duty to stay and take whatsoever
fate may be in reserve for our un-
happy people. He has no moral right
to desert. His skill and thrift may
help to secure not only the happiness
but the liberty of our people and his
people.
We know that there have been
temptations offered to those men of
thrift and energy whom the war has
impoverished. We had q talk few
days ago with one of our Confederate
MajorGenerals, to whom was offered
a tempting inducement to go to
Mexico. He would have accepted it
Instantly, if the condition precedent
had not required that he should re-
linquish the right of citizenship in
the State where he wss born. He
could not make the sacrifice, and,
like q true soldier and gentleman us
he is, he preferred to cxtort living
from the soil of his own country.

speaking of the negroes, the Presi-
dent declared that, whatever might
be his convictions in regard to negro
suffrage in the District of Columbia
and Tennessee, he was firmly opposed
to forcing such suffrage upon the
States by national legislation. The
distinct impression was left that he
was not friendly to iadiscriminatc
negro suffrage in this District.
