A Truth INCIDENTALLY TOLD ---"By the
way, we would remark that excessive appli-
cation is not one of the special in6rmities Of
this community"
Our contemporary across the street INDUCES
in the above reflection, the.justice of which in
statement and implication will be acknow-
lodged by us all.
The fact is we have submarine lotus here
in the shape Of Lynhaven Oysters, which puts
US to dreaming of commercial future which
shall crown - posterity with opulence and
wealth The fact is that 'gustauI lotun'
may be safely written upon the foreheads of
this generation. Well it is some comfort to
reflect that posterity will never get any bet
ter oysters than we enjoy, though they may
have better oyster laws.

LoNG.-The pardon of this man by Cover
nor Pierpont is a mystery to this entire COM
munity. He was fairly tried, he enjoyed
full hearing, and was lucky to escape the full
penalty OF his crime, Now, the man who,
by fiction of law---represents, or should we
not say misrepresents the executive branch of
the State Government ?--turns this desperate
bose upon society, to repeat elsewhere, per-
haps, the tragedy he enacted here. 1t is an
outrage which calls for the loudest reproba-
ton, and its preparation is to be attributed,
we presume, to the adoption by ellis Excel
lency," so-called, of the New York Tribunss
tender-hearted theory, that the killing of
"whte folks" is rather a playful eccentrcity
than serious crime. If his brother Radi-
Gals in the North had been beaten, he
wouldn't have dared to extend pardon to
Long; and in this we find another argument
in favor of the wisdom of the Philadelphia
Convention. When erected into the full dig.

THE EQUITABLE LIFE
ASSURANCE SOCIETY
OF NEW YORK CITY
Accumulated Fund $l,50O,0OO.
PURELY MUTUAL.

The Officers of this Society desire TO present TO
the public, for their consideration, two modes OF
dividing surplus premiums, Tor prohts) which have
been recently adopted by them, and for the fret
time granted policy holders by any Life Compa-
ny, and which, it is belisvedpresent advantages OBJ
vious to all.
lst The sum insured has been doubled, without
additional premium at the last dividend upon poll
ces which have been in force five years.
End Premiums have been reduced one-half Mt the
same dividend upon similar policies.
The success Of this Society has not been equalled
by any Company, either in this country or Europe,
the Society's cash accumulation being about half
million of dollars greater than the most successful
Company at the period in ts history, and its
annual cash revenue from premiums, at the end Of
its seventh year. will be equal that of the largest
Company in the country. at the end Of its fifteenth
1t is easier for man to pay his Premiums than
for his family to live without his aid and without
his means.
Many widow and orphan have had great reason
to be grateful that the advantage Of Life Assurance
was understood and embraced by the husband and
father.
This Society issues Policies for Life. or on the
Endowment Principle, at rates of premium low
as any first class Company. No premium notes
taken required.
No forfeiture of Premiums. In the case of whole
Life and EEdowment Policies, at ordinary ages, in
force for at least three years. the Society will on
due surrender issue paid-up Policy Tor. the full
amount of Premiums paid.
Policies issued by this Society are ~indisputabie
on account of suicide after the first two years
The entire surplus of the Society is divided in the
most equitable manner among policy holders.

The Exclusion Of the Southern Members
from Congress.-If few radicals in Congress
can deprive the Southern States of representa-
tion, they can deprive New York of her repre-
sentatives by the same process. Nay, the tables
may be turned upon the radicals, and they NAV
be kicked out of Congress by a Democratic ma
jority. The rule is very plain, and it works
both ways most admirably. It is only necessa.
ry to appoint special committee, like that of
Thad Stevens on Reconstruction, and refer to
this committee the credentials of obnoxious
members, and the thing is accomplished. That
committee may never report, or it may delay
reporting until the close of the session, or it
may report adversely 10 either case the OBJ
noxious members are disposed Of, and the State
which is to be denied representation is thrust
out OF the Union. Could any recognition of
the possibility of secession be more practical
than this? We deny the right Of the States to
leave the Union when they wish to do so, aud
spend thousands of lives and millions of money
to vindicate this unconstitutional principle; but,
after all, Congress allows eleven States to DO
forced out of the Union by a radical minority
when these States desire to stay 10; and thus
the right of secession Is secured by the logic of
contrarles. Was ever a dilemma at once so rid
iculous and SO dangerous? The ealy way by
which we can be rescued from it is psomps
revolt on the part Of Congress against the ,adi-
cal leaders, and an equally prompt admission Of
the Southern Union delegations. If this be
not done the people will interfere and settle the
question for themselves under the lead of Presi-
dent johnson. The Southern States are ia the
Union, their inhabitants are citizens of the
United States, and those who deny them repre-
sentatIoa violate the Constitution, strike down
republican principles in the, halls where they
should be most cherished and respected, found
Congressional tyranny upon the very affairs of
democracy, aad must be prepared to accept the
consequences-Nep York Herald.

Washington, JAN 29-Maior- 6 eneral Sher-
man appeared on the floor Of the House and of
the Senate, to-day; and received the congratu-
lations Of members and Senator'S a recess of
FIVE minutes taken in the hall of the House
Of Representatives, and the Speaker in appro-
pirate terms introduced hin, to that body. Gen
eral Sherman responded, expressing the hope
that be would continue to deserve the good
wishes rendered Lsl, At the conclusion Of
his response, three Cheers were proposed by Mr.
Washburne, which were enthusiastically given.
To-day thrae respectfully dressed women were
detected at the executive mansion clipping
pieces from the curtains. They we're arrested
| and taken to the police station house. Such
thefs have been of such frequent occurrence
that an officer is constantly in attendance to re-
strain such larcenes.
At the Cabinet meeting on Friday Mexican
affairs were discussed at some length. There
seems to be doubt that the French Govern
ment has made through Mr. Bigeow the propo-
sal relative to the evacuation of Mexico by the
French troops This proposal, it is said was
discussed Friday. 1t is said that before
Secretary Seward left for Vera Cruz he knew or
CON-. ctured that such proposal would be made,
and urged the President to accede to the propo-
siton, if it should be made. The President it
is believed, is in favor of settlement of the
Mexican question upon this basis.
1t is mistake to say that the President has
not expressed his intention in regard to vetoing
the Negro Suffrage bill. His intention to veto
it in the event OF its passage by the Senate has
been plainly aud frankly expressed on two re-
cent occasions.
The Treasury Department Saturday received
Sl26 from John K. Stocker, formerly of the
Fortieth Massachusetts Volunteers that SUN be-
ing overpaid him on his final settlement $3.50
have been received from former employee of
the Government, who coufesses that, while en-
gagged in the Norfolk (Va) Navy Yard, he alb
stracted articles belonging to the United States
worth $50. During the past year conscience
money, varying from one cent to a hundred dol
lars, in the aggregate amounting to $4,000,
was deposited in the vaults of the Treasury
1t should not be supposed that, because Gen
erals Grant and Butler given to sharp men
ton of each other through their published re-
ports, they entertain such bitterness of feeling
that they cannot meet socially. Within the last
day or two they have met and chatted most
amicably.
The Committee on the District of Columbia
are engaged framing bill which will, so far as
the District of Columbia is concerned, disfrap-
chise all persons who Served 10 the Confederate
army. Such bill would undoubtedly pass
both houses and become Law.
