Raautiful Tribute to a Wife.

Sir James Mcintosh the historian, was
married to Catharine Stuart, a young
Scotch lady. After her death he de-
picted her character, in letter to
friend:
II was guided in my choice only by
the blind affections of my youth. l
found an intelligent companion and a
tender friend, prudent mistress, the
most faithful of wives-and mother as
tender as children ever had the misfor-
tune to lose. l met woman who, by
tender management of my weaknesses,
gradually corrected the most pernlcious
of them. She became prudent from al
fection; and though Of the most gener-
GUS nature she was taught frugality and
economy by her love for me. During
the most critical period of my life she
relieved me- She gently reclaimed me
from dissipation she propped my weak
and irresolute nature; she urged my in
dolence to all the exertions that have
been useful and creditsble to me, and
she was perpetually at hand to admonish
my heedlessness or improvldence. TO
her owe what am to her whatever |
shall be. In her solicitude for my inter-
est she has never fargot my feelings or
character. Even in her occasional re-
sentiment, for which l too often gave her
cause-would to God / could recall
those moments-she had no sullcnness
or acrimony. Her feelings were warm
nay, impetuous; but she was placable,
tender and constant Such was she
whom / have lost, when her actual natu-
raj sense was improving, after eight
years struggle and distress bound us
fast together and moulded our tempers to
each other; when a knowledge of her
worth had refined my youthful love into
friendship, and before age had deprived
it of much of its original arder. l lost
her--and alas the choice of my youth,
the partner of my misfortunes, at a mo-
ment when had the prospect of her
sharing my better days.

the Southern States, in order to exclude
their votes from the Presidential polls.
And, like Butler on the exchange ques-
ton, the effort is, while reaping this ad-
vantage for themselves, to throw the
odium of the terrible price the country
pays for it, on the special victims Of
their injustice. The Constitutional
amendment was contrived not TO be
adopted. And there was no promise or
intimation that its adoption would be q
settlement. There was direct refusal
go to regard it. There has been no such
promise or intimation since, from any
responsible source, or from any source
except in the exigencies of political
canvass, and for passing advantage.

lation is the game now--the pretense Of

Adjutant General Schuyler, in a letter
to the Lynn Reporter, thus repels charges
brought against him by General Butler
1t appears, to quote from your report
that he (Butler) paid his respects also to
General Schuyler, whom he charges with
being opposed to the policy of Congress
and an applicant for sfiice under Presi-
dent johnson. He said if this was de.
MED he would bring the evidence.
In answer, / would say that do not
know what the policy of Congress is.
One says that it is the adoption of the
constitutional amendment; another that
it is the impeachment Of the President,
and colored suffrage; Wendell Phillips
says 'the policy of Congress is to
swindle," Now, then, Mr.. Editor, if
either you or General Butler will inform
me what the policy of Congress is, | will
answer very categorically whether | am
for it or not ] should infer, from the re-
marks of the General, that he has some
private information in regard to my
views on this matter. Now, although q
gentleman would never allude in pub
lie speech either to private conversation
or TO private correspondence, yet | do
not wish to hold the General subject to
that rule. He is therefore at perfect
liberty to use and publish any private

The Death Of the Inventor of the English
Needle Gun.

Poor Snider died the death of the in
ventor, and the circumlocution Office
was the cause The London Times
writes his obituary thus: "Mr Snider
will trouble the war Office no more. The
poor man is dead. At the moment when
the arsenals of the kingdom are ringing
with the labor concentrated upon his
invention the inventor has expired in
penury and affliction without ever hay
ing touched single sixpence Of remun-
Grafton or profit. AS he lay dying a
lump sum of lO00f was thrown to his
creditors, and the debts which he had
contracted in the pursuit of his secret

as far as he himself was concerned, ends
all that was done by grateful country.
His solicitor now writes to apprise us
that the department was really prepar.

that it became too late, and if Mr. Sni

coming to him. Unfortunately, he died

The Butler Party.

The Richmond Enquirer says:
Gen. Butler has stated that in his ne
gotiation for the exchange of prisoners,
he purposely started difficulties and OBJ
ieciions, because his design was to pre-
vent an agreement under the instruc.
tions he had received. Yet he pretended
in his correspondence an anxious de-
sirc to effect exchanges, and with a vir-
tuous show Of indignation, charged the
blame on the Confederate authorities.
The same game Of dishonorable du.
plicity is now being played, in the eyes
of the country and the world. The Rad
icaIs do not desire, OF intend to allow

purpose is to prevent the recognition of
