partmsnts, and ct all times from the outbreak Of
the rebellion to Its final overthrow. In every
sage and proclamation Of the Executive II was sx-
plicitly declared that the sole object and purpose
Of the war was to maintain the authority Of the
Constitution and TO preserve the integrity Of the
Unionj and Congress more than once reiterated
this solemn declaration, and added the assurance
that whenever this object should DO attained the
war should cease and all the States should retain
their equal rights and dignity unimpsirsd. It Is
only since the war was closed that othsr rights
have been asserted on behalf Of one department Of
the General Government. 1t has been proclaimed
by Congress that In addition to the powers con-
fsrrsd upon II by the Constitution, the Federal
Government may new claim over the States, the
territory and the people involved In the insurrsc.

confscaton the right to sbrosats all existing gov

territory conquered and Its inhabitants such
laws, regulations and dsprivations as the lsgsla.

impose. Under this broad and sweeping claim,
that clause Of the Constitution which provides that
"no State shall without Its consent be deprived Of
its equal suffrage In the Senate Of the United
States" has been annullsd, and ten States have
been refused, and are still refused, representation
altogether In both branches Of the Federal Con.
grsss. And the Congress In which only part Of
the States and Of the people Of the Union are rep
resented has asserted the right thus to exclude the
rest from representation, and from all share In
making their own laws or choosing their own rulers
until they shall comply with such conditions and
perform such acts as this Congress thus composed
may itself prescribe. That right has not only been
asserted, but II has been exercised and 10 praeti-
oally enforced ct the present time. Nor does II

We think too good to be lost: A few
days since he called upon some lady
friends and was ushered into the parlor
by servant girl. She asked him what
name she should announce, and he, wish
ing to take the ladies by surprise replied
Amicus, "a friend.) The girl seemed at
first little puzzled, but quickly regain
ing her composure, she in the blandesi
manner possible, observed-9Ehat kind
of cuss did you say, sir3'
Our friend was embarrassed for mo-
ment, but recovering, handed her his
card, aud vowed never to use ] Latin to q

Rich Scene at Justice Starts 6fs

FPeedmen's Bureau.

But now dey say, go, no, you don't;
Dat sorter game is now all DONE"
We sorry now We got de boss,

De Star has made US learn.
The richest affair Of the season came
off this morning at the Office Of Justice
Starr. In order to give the reader fun
insight into the case, it is necessary to
start at the Mayors Court, in which the
case of an unhappy pair of old darkeys
was brought up for adjudication. 1t ap-
peared that the venerable old couple had
been living togetheras man and wife, but,
as she said, "widout de circumference OBJ
law" They brought avoluminous string
of charges against each other, and taxed
the Mayors patience beyond endurance.
The Court being unable to make head or
tailof the affair, turned the case over to
the Freedmen's Bureau. They shot out
for ode Buro," and the trial was at once
taken up. After hearing all the facts in
tho case, that tribunal decided that they
should be married forthwith, and placed
them under guard, sent bride and BRIDE
groom to the Office Of Justice Starr For
that functionary to carryout the sentence
of the Bureau. When they got to the
Esquire office, the guard simply stated
to Justice Starr Here is couple for
you to marry call right" replied the
humorous Justice, and the guard, not
having an invitation to the wedding, re-
tired, @
"Just step in the back room,' said the
Justice, "and I'll splice you in grammat-
ical style and apple order" 80
The couple followed him to the room
in the rear of the front office, and after
explaining the duties and obligations, re.
quested them to join hands.
Bride-"I isn't gwine to do it. ]
doesn't want to hab muffin to do wid dat
niger"
Groom-"I isn't 'ticular bout marryin
wid de gal. I neber dubbed de wench.
The protest opened the Esquire's eye:
like '.two full moons in the harvest Ht
asked what was the meaning of it, and
just then a representative of the Bureau
stepped in, and informed the Justice tha
they were ordered by the Free dmen':
Court to be married, and he came to SEE
the sentence executed.
| -
With this understanding Justice Starr
told the HAPPY couple" to join hands
which they did after much persuasion:
Justice-"Do you take the. man to b

obey" ect.

Grass in de Rum.

A good story is told of the introduc-
tion of mint-juleps into Virginia. Years
ago a northern gentlemen, who had made
the acquaintance of rich planter, was in
yited to the hospitsble home of the latter.
One day, while discussing their apple
jack, the Yankee asked his host if he had
ever tasted mint julep. The planter
replied .sNo," and asked how it was made.
Upon being informed, he said he would
at once import some mint seed from the
north and try the tipple, The guest re-
mark ed that there was no necessity, as he
had noticed some mint growing upon the
plantation. Delighted to learn this fact,
the planter dispatched servant for the
plant, and upon the negro's return with
it the julep was made, and the southerner
was Of course in ecstasy at the discovery,
and kept his servant continually trotting
for mint.
Two years after, the northern gentle
man, revisiting Virginia, called at the
plantation to see his old friend. Inquir-
ing for him of servant who answered
his summons at the door, the latter shock
ed the visitor with the announcement ol
the planters death.
aDeadl" exclaimed the gentleman;
iWhen and howl"
"0le massa die about three weeks ago,
was the reply; "You see, bout two years
Iago gemmen came here,from the north
and tell ole massa how to put grass in his
rum, and dat's wat killed him."

TREAD SOFTLY.

Tread softly he is dying,
That aged mani
AL calm and still he's lying,
While friends around are sighing!
Cool zsphyrs fan
His paid brow,
But with the sun
That setteth now
HIS race is runl
Tread softly he is dead
Close the dimmed eyes,
And lay the silverei head
Low in his narrow bed,
With tears and sighs
Let myrtle twine
Upon his grave,
And the tall pine
Above him wave!
He hath passed from earth's gloomy shades
away,
And his soul hath scared to the realms Of
day;
But We heard the rustling of angels wings
As his eyes were closing to earthly things,
And we caught one glimpse of the heavenly
dome
As its portals oped to receive him home.
1t is passing fair we know full well,
And we long within its walls to dwell,
Where no dimming eyes or falling breath
Tell of thy cold hand, oh ruthless DEATH
And to bathe our earth-stained and weary
souls
Where the .Riyer of Lifen eternally rolls.
