A SPECULATIVE Turn OF MIND.-A
Southern correspondent relates cir
cumstance which recently came to his
knowledge, and which furnishes poin-
ted illustration of that ycsrning tone
which the pure, nassal-twanged dis
ciple of Charles Sumner bears to the
African A lady of the green-specta-
cled and strong-minded persuasion,
from down East, near the hub of the
universe, was in conversation with a
female friend, and was enlarging on
the dear little African pupils She had
been teaching, and was about to leave,
perhaps forever (about one hundred),
when one of them came in. The kind
instructress turned to the "sablc ten
ement of an immortal soul, " and said
with an angelic kindness beaming
through her emerald glasses, "Dear
Disley, | am soon to leave you, and
may never return You must be q
good girl, and apply yourselfdilligent
" to your books. Oh, how | love
you, and all my dear colored pupils
Tell all of them you meet | have had
my photograph taken, and have ono
for each of them. They must each
bring a dollar and get one"
This is the way New England Phi
lanthropy reveals itself. When they
get their trunks and valiscs filled,
] they leave.

A STARTLING EXPOSURE.

IL VIII be remembered that at the
trial of the accomplices Of Booth, be-
fore a military commission at Wash
ington, on the charge of completely
with the assassination of President
Lincoln, certain James b. Merritt
was the principle witness for the Gov
crnment. On his testimony Mrs Sur
raft was convicted and hanged, aud
on his testimony it was shown that
Jefferson Davis, G. G. Clay, and Geo.
N. Saunders were directly implicated
in the assassination. To outsiders
the testimony of this man Merritt
read strangely at the time Of the tri-
ais His statements did not appear
reasonable. Mrs. Surratts daughter,
after the execution of her mother,
pronounced them utterly false from
beginning to end; and so indignant
was Clay when he heard what this
witness had said, that he voluntarily
surrendered himself to the Govern
ment authorities, and asked for a trial.
Davis and Saunders too pronounced
his testimony peu1ry. Indeed his
entire story before the illegal military
court had the appearance of manufac-
tured testimony.
1t now appears that this williams
evidence was perjured from beginning
to end. He has recently been before
the Committee on the Judiciary, of
the House of Representatives, and his
examination there showed that his
.Ass;naany in The .-;el af tho cnnspira-
tors was totally void of truth that
he really knew nothing connecting
any persons with transactions not re-
cognized by the usages of war;. that
his attempt to connect Davis, Clay,
Saunders and Others with the assassi-
nation of Lincoln was pure fabrica-
ton. Ono very remarkable fact was
elected in his examination wherein he
admitted that the Secretary of War,
Edwin Nj Stanton, had paid him BE-
tlccen fire and sir thousand dollars for
his services asa witness before the NIL
itary Commission which tried the con
spiratorS This was the pitiful price
of his infamy. Such is the testimony
upon which Mrs. Surratt, Harold,
Atzeroth and Payne were hanged, and
Mudd, Arnold, O'Laughlin and Span
gler were imprisoned on the Dry Tor
tugas. Out of the mouth of this man,
who sold his soul TO Stanton and the
Devil for five thousand dollars, Re
publican committee are trying to es-
tablish the completely of Jefferson
Davis with the assassination of Abra-
ham Lincoln. With Stanton to sub
born tho witnesses at five thousand
dollars a head, there is no telling what
they may not be able to prove.
This is bat specimen of the course
pursued bv this iiend Stanton TO wreal
his vengeance upon his political foes.
All over the country he organized ms
Military Courts to convict, and then
bought up the peJarcd witnesses who
swore their victims to the scatTold OF
;nto prison. .--Erchange

VIEWS OF Mn. STEPHENS ON THE PRosPEcrs OF
THE COUNTRY, POLITICAL AND orHER.-A few dsys
since we had the pleasure Of quite lengthy inter
view with this distinguished gentleman then on his
way to Washington to present his credentials
Gently elected United States Senator from the
State Of Georgia. It would be quite impossible to
give any accurate account Of the views that fell
from him In the course Of our conversations and
We will not essay the task Tho general impress
sion, however, made upon US was, that ho regarded
the political sky as dark and gloomy In the ex-
treme, but nevertheless he seemed content to wait
In patience for the developments Of the future.
In speaking Of the freedmen and the chances Of
agricultural prosperity under the new system Of
free colored labor, he expressed this remarkable
view; That the labor Of the present year. In his
opinion, would be moro efficient than in any COM
ing year. Reckoning upon this subject on phil
osophioal principles ho says that the lower races
Of mankind, such as the negro are wanting in that
degree ofperseyeranoe which Is essential to
in any ainj that therefore, In their earliest efforts
since they have been made Free they will display
a aspasmodio energy and industry that in a short
year two they will grow weary Of the task before
them, and relapse into comparative lstessness and
inactivity.
His conclusion therefore Is, that the large mass,
on account Of ideness, will fail to make living,
and that consequently they will rapidly die out
