Barter and Sale.

The Ph9nicians, Finnigans, or Fenians, as
they are variously called still remain d.
vided and the boodess heroes who edo" the
cratory for the brotherhood are bent Oh mis-
Ghetto the pockets of their credulous coln-
trymen. 1t is to be lanented that Mr.. Ron
EkTs and patriots of his stamp cannot at least
have the decency to initiate the course of Mr.
STEvEss whose career shows him to be ae-
tuated by an honest anxiety TO see the cpl
taph of EMMETT written.
But as Mr.. ROBERTS insists on going on hi;
town hook" to redeem Ireland, by the assist
ahce OF General LOGAN and the Radicals, We
beg leave to remind that virtuous man.
ROBERTS, that Immediately after the Pres
dents neutrality proclamation made its ap-
peifance, a convention Of loyal blacks" as
sembled III New York, and passed series of
resolutions in which they, figuratively speak
ing, knocked the Irish Republic into cooked
hat. Their proceedings were duly ehronicled
by the Tribune, where Mr. ROBERTS can find
them Whenever he chooses to look over the
columns OF that immaculate paper. Ofcourse
we all understand this movement. ROBERTS
Co, have negotiated sale of the effects of
the Republic; put it remains to be seen how
far the Irish labo.er of the North is willing
to ratify bargain with those who proclaim
the doctrine Of universal political equality /"
General SWEENEY seems to be very much of
our mind, for he warns his countrymen
against this disgraceful business, and we do
not doubt they will fully comprehend the
nature of Mr.. RoBERTs's new dodge to refill
his empty pockets. '- r.

The First Fruits.

1t is stated by the New York News that
the Radicals intends to execute flank
movement" on the conservative party OF the
North by holding Convention to offer the
South call that the Philadelphia Convention
has offered and in addition, consenting to alb
rogate the Congressional test OATH" thus COM
hitting themselves to the admission of our
representatives without regard to their ante
cedents. In return, for these Radical states
man ~ can never rise to a political philoso-
ply higher than "swap," they will ask re-
stricted elective franchise for the freedmen
Upon the statement which we have given
above, the News pertinently remarks, that 'as
the political parties Of the North are bidding
for Southern votes, there is good hope that the
South will get its own" This contemplated
movement is full of significance.
1t shows a sense of weakness which the
Radicals have not previously exhibited.
1t proves that the issue which we pointed
out on Saturday, as one they could not meet
with any reasonable hope of successful wit:
the issue of negro equality-wll be modified;
and we may rest assured that this modifca-
ton has been suggested by the logic of events
They find that the "Copperhead Convention"
which they SO bitterly denounce as an assem-
bly, of Northern IscARIoTs and Southern AR
NoLDs, has made an appeal to the people of
the North too powerful for them to withstand
with their wild theories; and hence, the con-
tempated offer of neat little bit of business
in the way of barter and sale on the suffrage
question. They cannot abandon their ground,
and the ingenious idea of limited suffrage is
the best modification which they can substi-
tute. There is great art in this. They do
not dream that we would accept the offer,
but they will go before their people and pro-
claim that they only ask for the South to give
the negro what has been conceded him by
New York and a few other Northern States
In this, then, we behold the first effects of the
Philadelphia Convention, and it is an auspici-
GUS sign that these mad Red Caps find it ne
cessary so soon to proclaim their purpose to
abate the arrogance of their preten sions.

s.RebeIliOn.v

We have, from time to time, kept our
readers advised of the revolutionary threats
Of the Radicals as revealed in the speeches of
their orators and the utterances of their press.
We have quoted LOGAN and the Tribune
STEVENS and the Nation, WILSON, SUMNER
Phillips, BRowNLow, PAYNE, and a host of
others, to show their settled purpose, if need
be, to inaugurate civil war to perpetuate
their power. These threats have been openly
made; aad the Collector at Philadelphia, TAX
ing the hint, has declined to vacate his office
0 make way for his successor, duly appointed
by the President of the United States What
does this mean? Does Colonel THoMAs-who
is he, by the way Remember that the Gus
toM Houses OF the South could not be held
adversely 10 the Government, though gallant
and long -protracted effort was made to do so :?
Don't the Colonel" know that he has no
right to possess and occupy" the building he
now claims TO control? We take it for
granted that this dsnterested patriot who
declines to ''move on and leave behind him
his comfortable e,nolumens, is perfectly well
aware that he is setting up the claims of
THOMAS in very high-handed manner. We
presume he has fully considered the value of
the office which b. claims, and the comforts
Of the stately edifice which he refuses to
abandon; and that animated by the revolu-
ii'nary sentiments OF his party, he has de-
ciled to indulge in small rebellion" of his
own against the constituted authorities /"
What is this but a ''thumb nail" picture of
revolution ?" We confess that we look at the
awful THOMAS, perhaps we had better say
the Republic Of THOMAS, Emporium in i'm
perio-with feelings of awe and admiration,
just as we should behold repetition of the
miraculous perambulations of the Saint who
carried his head under his arm after it was
stricken off, to the wonder of all beholders.

VERY UNCOMMON.

At the gateway Of one Of our beautiful ru-
rel cemeteries q large funeral was just enter
ing as our attention was called to very re-
Variable sight. The bier was resting on
the shoulders Of four tall, noble looking men
in the prime Of life. One ofthese bearers
was Judge on the bench Of the Supreme
Court Of the nation A second was one OF
the most eminent and accomp lished lawyers
whom this or any other country can boast.
A third was very distinguished divine,
whose pen is great power. And the fourth
was the President Of the Senate Of his State,
and these remarkable men we're brothers
They stood strong in life, but were bowed
and silent, and solemn, as if the bier was toe
heavy for their strength. Very slowly and
carefully they trod. as if the sleeper could
feel the motion And who was on the bier 81
carefully and tenderly borne? 1t was their
own mother. Never did see grief more
reverent or respect more profound.
1t seemed to me that the mothers cold heart
must also throb in the coffin. A nobler sight,
or more beautiful tribute of love, never
saw. They were all, doubtless, going back
in memory to their early childhood. and to
their loving care to this best of all earthly
friends. They we'll knew that they owed
more to her than to all other human agencies,
No shoulders but theirs must bear the pre-
cious duet to the graveyard no hands but
theirs must deposit it in its last resting place.
That body had been inhabited by one Of the
sweetest most cheerful and brilliant minds
that ever inhabited an earthly tabernacle.
1t had long. too, been the temple of the Holy
Ghost. What that lovely woman had done
to make her husbands ministry useful and
profitable; what she had done in training
daughters that are ornaments to their sex
what she had done TO make those distin-
guished men what they sre--who can tell :
What has not such mother accomplished,
who has given such influence to the world.
o, mother amid all your snxieties and la
bors, be assured that the time is coming
when your name and image will fill the cham.
bers Of the memories of your children as no
mother can. You are garnering up love,
respect and generation, which will gather
around your coffin, if not before. You will
grow in the hearts of your children as long
as they live.
0, son of the good mother remember
that she hath spared nothing that the human
heart could yield for thy good Let thy love,
and reverence flow back upon her, and if her
hair is becoming silvered with age, remember
that thy opportunities to minister to her com
fort are every day becoming fewer and fewer.
God help thee to cheer her Home Monthly
