"Thad. Stevens sudden anxiety TO re-,
peal so much Oh the Congressional test
oath Us prohibited Southern attorneys
from practising in the South oreated
much surprise at the time, and has led to
much discussion since among those not
fully in the secret. 1t seems that a smajl,
caucus Of the faithful met at Mr.. ClAeeN
on Saturday evening, where the whole
subject was informally discussed. Judgs
Chase is understood to have said that the
law was clearly against the oath, that the
question now before the Supreme Court,
involved the whole principle, aAd must
soon be decided, and recommended the
course pursued by Stevens on the follow

Court Of the United States is to be ran
by g small caucus Of the faithful" We
have fallen on strange times, truly.
There was once in this country some re-
gard for propriety, some respect shown
for the positions men held, particularly
when they reached the Supreme Court Of
the United States. Judges desired to
attain and retain an individual character,
and to mark their official positien by the
efforts of their abilities. their upright
ness, and their freedom from even contset
with the various political creeds and
measures Of the day But now, individ-
uals, personal character, oificial positions,
candidates, party measures, legislative
acts, and judicial decisions, are all throws
into that modern centralized inquisitiou

wonder that great men have disappeared

wonder that we have no indepenSentmen

Thad. steven. rllls Reviewed.

The New York Evening Post, one of
tho ablest Abolition organs ia the coun.
try, thus commented upon the course of
Radical Thad. Stevens in the House on
a recent occasion:
Mr.. Stevens exhibited his native dis
like Of freedom, and his propensity to
tyrannixe over others, in his effort to cut
off debate on the new amendment, by
moving the previous question. That 80
important matter as fundamental
change of the organic law, binding mil
lions of people for ages, perhaps, both in
regard to the mode of their taxation and
their representation, should be hurried
through Congress by the mere machinery
of the rules shows the estimate which Mr..
Stevens puts upon our democratic modes.
He would govern the House and govern
the country, as he announces it to be his
intention to govern the South for the
next ten years, by arbitrary laws and the
whip and the spur.
Fortunately there was good sense enough
in the House to defeat the scheme of the
arch enemy of demenocratic institutions,
and get the amendment debated. Thus far,
Is istrue, no really sound objection to the
rincipal proposed has been stated. butt is
a grea satisfaction TO the people, indceditis
indispe .asable to the consent of the public
mind to aaY fundamental change, that it
should be o;ecussed. It is the very es-
sencc of our system, one Of its signal beau
ties. that no one person, no party, no or
ganization of any sort, has any moral right
to impose its conclusions upon others, or
to dictate what we shall think or what we
shall do; but all sides are asked to engage
in the debate, and the whole body Of the
nation decides.
Under this method, no doubt, great
many crude opinions are uttered con-
ceited or fanatical persons and pretentious
party leaders succeeded in getting their
notions into certain vogue; temporary
impulses of the people themselves carry
away their judgments; but so long as dis
cussion is free, SO long as the. right of eve-
ry man to be heard is acknowledged, so
long as Governors messages and legisla-
tive debates, and speeches at public meet
ings, and the table articles" of the jour-
nails may be printed and read, there will
be a curative for these temporary mis-
chiefs. The process may be tedious; it
may offend our superior intelligence and
our aesthetic tastes; but the result of dis
cussion is, that the highest wisdom in the
community will somewhere getsaid. Dis
cussion winnows the chaff from the wheat
it triturates the raw material of thought
into digestible material; it finally trans
forms the rude amorphous mass into or
ganic substance, assimilating it with the
finest tissues and weaving it into the most
substantial fabric of the living whole.

BACKBONE PEoPLE.-It is with men
as with animals; you may divide them
into two classes, yertebrated and inverte-
brated. Animals remarkable for dignity
and elevation in the scale of existence are
yertebrated or backboned their back.
bones give the emincnee and place; al
animals TO which We apply the term . in
ferior" want this backbone, and they can
only crawl or creep, because they are In
vertebrated. We have often thought,
when looking among men, that this Is the
great distinction we notice between them
the successful and the unsuccessful,
the priDcipled and the unpTincipled, tho
true and the false. The school MASTER,

and we recoil as instinctively from thas

creatures are sort Of moral analogy, be-

FENrAN INroRMERs.-Chas. Dicken.

FEEIAN INFoRMERs.-Cha Dickens
thus aptly describes "Fenian informer:"
In Irish political trials there is regu-
lar performer, who always comes on and
lends a specially dramatic interest to the
whole. This is the informer, as he is
known to the crowd the approyer, as he
is more courteously known to the law.
1t is dramatic to see this actors entrance;
his furtiye glance at the galleries, as if
there were enemies there ready to spring
on him; his timorous answers to the
almost contemptuous questioning of the
crown lawyers, who seem anxious to have
done with the "dirty work. his gradual
gathering of confidence as he feels safe !;
his covering look as the prisoners coun-
sci advance to grapple with him; his
fawning explanations and self-justifca-
ton; his falling back on brazen impu-
dence and brayado as he is obliged to
confess some fresh piece of treachery; his
half-savage and defiant confession as he is
brought to bay, and the truth wrung from
him; and the bitter scowl of secret rage
at the skillful counsel who has forced him
to make degrading picture of himself.
It were almost to be wished that this mode
of proving guilt were not known to our
law, though it must be admitted that it is
always introduced with reluctance, and
thrown in as make-Weight; and that on
this occasion all parties concerned seem to
rest very little on the s'informer's'' assist
ance. ~ lsss -

QuARRELrNG.-If anything in the world
will make a man feel badly, except pinching
his fingers in the crack Of door, it is, un-
questionably, quarrel. No man ever fails
to think less of himself after it than before.
1t degrades him in the eyes of others, and
what is worse, blunts his sensibilities on the
one hand, and increases the power of pas
sionate irritability on the other. The truth
is, the more peaceably and quietly we get
on, the better for our neighbors. In nine
cases out of ten, the better course is, if 9
man cheats you, quit dealing with him il
he is abusive, quit his company; and if he
ISLANDERS you, take care to live SO that no
body viii believe him. No matter who he is,
or how he misuses you, the wisest way is to
let him alone; for their is nothing better
than this cool, calm and quiet way of deal
ing with the wrongs we meet with.

REMEDY FOR KICKING Cows.-Cows, says
cotemporary, seldom kick without some
good reason for it. Teats are sometimes
chspped or the udder tender harsh handling
hurt them, and they kick. Sometimes long
and sharp finger nails cut their teats and
sometimes the milker pulls the long hairs on
the udder while milking. Shear of the
long hairs, cutlong fingers nails close, bathe
chapped teats with warm water, and grease
them well with lard, and always treat COW
Gently. She will never kick unless something
hurts her, or she fears repetition of former
hurts. When handled gentle, cows like to
be MIXED. When treated otherwise, they

A CHANCE FOR SUMNER TO HowL.-The
Montgomery tAla.) Advertiser relates the
following horrible incident which Senator
Sumner, instead of placing in his scrap book
of horrors, can make the subject of Congress
sional investigation, and which will afford
him and the sanity Greedy & Co. theme
for howl that will meet public sympathy !:
A gentleman from New York, who came
down the road yesterday, reports that at
Opelika negro girl, some l6 or II years
old, came in with her ears cut of close to her
head. and alleged that it was done by man
in United States uniform, because she would
not let him do violence to her person. No
notice has been taken of the outrage by the
military authorities. Such inhumanities
should be ferreted out and the guilty parties
punished severely, whoever they may be.
Where the civil authority has not power to
act the military certainly has, and we trust,
between to two, no acts of the kind will be
allowed to disgrace the community.
