Bad for the Reyolutionists.

II is said to be certain that nine Of the
Northern States will refuse to ratify the
Constitutional Amendment proposed by
the Rump Congress. This will prove two
things-6rst, that the people Of the north

that the Radicals are getting themselves

Saying Of Josh Billings.

Ii is highly important that when mar
makes up his mind to become raskal, that
he would examine hisself closely, and see il
he ain better konstitutcd for phool.
| argy in this way-lf a man is right he
kant be too radical; if he is wrong he kant
be to consarvatiif.
When you pra, pra right at the bull,
eye.
1t is very delicate job tew forgive a
man without lowering him in his own esti-
mashun, and yours tew
1t IL admitted now by everybody, that q
man who can git fat on berlony sassages,
has got good deal of dorg in him.
No man loves to get beat, but it is better
to be bored with an inch orger than GIN
blet.
Don't mistake arrogance for wisdom,
many people thought they wuz wize when
they wuz only windy,
Men amt apt to be kicked out Of good
society fer bein rich.
The road to Ruin is always kept in good
repair, and the taverns pay the expenses
ov it,
The only profit there is in keepin more
than one dorg, is what you can make on his
board,
Honesty is the poor mans pork and the
rich mans pudding.
There is luxury in sometimes feeling
loucsum.

An InfallabIc Recipe by which
to turn a Confederate into a
'LOyal' Citizen.

This war has brought out" many things.
! 1t has given ideas on international law that
we have never heard before. 1t has vastly
enlarged our conception of what the union
was is and ought to be. Among other
things it has given the following recipe for
making truly loyal citizen out of a
''rebel which we find in the Metropolitan
| Record:
IF he has property worth over twenty
thousand dollars, confscate it.
J If he has property worth less than TWEEN.
ty thousand dollars, confscate it.
If his wife has any jewelry, turn it over
to the wife Of a loyal man.
If he has piano, let it make music and
harmony in some other household.
If after burning the house over the head
of the family is not enough, try the virtues
Of a cell in some one of the many Bastiles
that are still to be found in the Land of
Free and the Home of the Brave"
If the Confederate should happen to be
the President of Southern College, there
is another way of reaching and rousing in
to activity his latent loyalty-take away his
library, transport it to New England, and
sell it to same of the institutions of learn
ing with which the Land of Pumpkin Pies,
steady habits and wooden nutmegs abounds.
Make over the disloyal churches to the
loyal sects of the North, and let them be
"run" by the righteous.
And finally to take away political rights
from the white man of the South whose fa-
theirs fought for self-government and inde-
pendence, and confer them exclusively upon
the negroes.

Crime in DctrOit-.A Man NJ ur.
dered by Negroes.
From the Detroit Free Press, Jan. l.

from the Detroit Free Press, Jan. ]
On Saturday night about 9 o'clock. a
bloody tragedy, over which deep cloud OF
mystery hangs, was enacted on the corner
Of St Antione and Gratiot streets, which
has cause profound sensation in the neigh
borhood. The facts, SO far as they can be
| CLEANED, are taken from the statement of a
arrested by the police. His account of the
affair Is thai, another negro. named Joshua
Williams, who boards at the same place
asked him during the evening where he
could procure a good second hand vest.
Knox. it appears, has been in the habit OF
trading considerably with one Simon Nelson,
an old man of about IS years Of age, Prus-
sian by birth, who keeps a second hand
clothing store on the corner above named
Knox states that he directed, or rather
went with him to Nelson's store, where q
vest was selected. While they were bar
gaining for the article, Knox states that he
LETT the store promising to to return in a
short time. He went down as far as Null
lett street, and was returning when he saw
Williams running away down the street at
rapid rate. On reaching Nelson he found
that the old man had been shot through the
head. These are the main points of his
statement, which, to say the least, is most
improbable one.
On investigation it was found that the
poor old man who has lived alone in his
store, was shot directly through the head,
the ball entering above the right eye, and
passing obliquely across, came out behind
the left ear. Several parties who live in
the same building hearing the report rush
ed into the room and found him lying upon
the floor weltering in blood. He was taken
up and lain upon a cot, and medical assist
ance sent for At last accounts he was still
alive, but his recovery is impossible. At
intervals he was able to speak in whispers,
and We are informed by young man
named Thomas johnson, that he told him
(Johnson) that it was Knox who shot him.
He said he was butteniug the vest upon
Williams, when Knox put the pistol to his
head and fired. If this be true, the muir
der is one of the most atrocious and cold
blooded on record. Hanging is too mild
punishment for the black hearted fend who
could deliberately shoot down a poor, old,
unoffending man, without the slightest prov
ocation. Williams has not yet been found,
but the police are on his track, and his es-
cape is hardly possible.

Proposed Amendment of the
Constitution Of Ohio.

Senator Kellogg, who represents the
Ashtabula District in the Senate, availed
himself of the first opportunity after the
organization of the Senate, to introduce a
proposed amendment of the Constitution OF
the State Of Ohio, SO as to allow the priv
ilege of voting to the Negroes, who are now
in Ohio or who may hereafter seek a resi-
dence in it. Mr. Kellogg and the Reserve
Republicans are in earnest in their determi-
nation to labor for the endowment of the
Negroes with all the political privileges
that are enjoyed by White men. Mr. Ke-
logg $ early movement in their behalf has a
significance that does not appear on the sur
face. 1t will be found that the Reserve
Senators and Representatives will not vote
for any man for the United States Senate
who is not, according to their understand
ing, sound on Negro Suffrage and Recon
struction," and this proposed amendment
to the Constitution Of Ohio is introduced
and will, in all probability, be pressed to a
passage through the Legislature before an
election is gone into for United States Sen
ator. 1t is the price the Reserve will de-
mand for its support Can any Senatorial
candidate succeed without the support of
the Reserve? General Schenck stands
reldy to pay the price. His right hand
man, Don Piatt, took ground before his
nomination to the Legislature, in favor Of
Negro Suffrage, and Governor Anderson,
then only Lieutenant Governor, was unable
to secure the adoption in a county conven-
tion of Montgomery county Republicans,
held in Dayton, to elect delegates to the
that nominated General Cox, of
a resolution reprobating Negro Suffrage
he made an eloquent speech in
behalf of his resolution. In view of these
facts is it not natural that the Reserve is at
this time prepossessed in favor of General
Schenck p statesman.

Meeting Between Generals Sher
man and Joe. Johnston.

For the first time since his deposition by
Jefferson Davis, Joseph 4. Johnston met
Gen Sherman evening before last, at the
Gayoso House 1t is needless to say that
the greeting of these soldiers was kindly and
cordial Hundreds of citizens called on the
two Generals, whose genius lends brightest
lustre to the annals of fratricidal war BY
them the arts of offensive and defensive
campaigns were exhausted. Through all
future time, those who would excel in doing
mischief to mankind will study each day S
story of that ninety days of battle from Dal-
ton to Atlanta. No two commanders were
ever more tireless and sleepless. If Sher-
man always moved to the right place, John
ston never did to the wrong one. And when
a long line of earthwork was abandoned, ex-
tending twenty or thirty miles across the
country, and all corps and divisions moved
inwardly to common highway, as each
passed the point of intersection of routes,
another fell in behind, with the precision
of clock work. Humboldt's head was never
so full of maps as Johnston's of charts of
Northern Georgia. Memphis Bulletin.
