The preacher did not reply, but
turned over another leaf. But the
dying man would not be quietcd

cd to us, and never said one word
about the camel"
The preacher, in search of q con.
soling passage, turned rapidly over
the leaves, and, in his confusion.
came to this passage, which he read
eco TO now, We rich mon, weep
and howl for your miserics that shall
come upon you. Your gold and
silver is cankered; and the rust OF

and shall sst ya". daeh "a IT, were

for the last days. Behold the hire OF

your fields, which is of you kept by
fraud, crloth: and the cries of them
which have reapcd have entered into
the ears of the Lord of Sabbaoth."
And yet you never preached that
to me" shriokod the dying man.
The preacher, who had blundered
through the passage from James,
which we have quoted, knew not what
to say. He was perchance terrified
by the very look of the dying par
ishioner.
Then the wife drew near and
strove to comfort him, and the son,
(who had been reading the willy at.
tempted q word or two of consola.
ton.
But with the Dollar in his hand he
sank into death, talking of stock, OF
rent, of copper mine and camel, OF
tenant and debtor, until the breath
left his lips. Thus he died.
When lie was cold, the preacher
rose aud asked the lawyer whether
the deceased had left anything to
SUM anu SuCll CHdTlluDIC Society,
which had been engralted upon the
preachers church.
And the wife closed his eyes and
tried to wrench the dollar from his
hand, but in VAN. He clutched it Us
though it were the only saviour to
light him thro' the darkness of eter.
nifty.
And the son sat down with dry
eyes and thought Of the hundreds OF
thousands that were now his own.
Next day there was hearse fol
lowed by n train of carriages nearly
n mile in length. There v'as great
crowd around an open grave, and an
elcgant sermon upon the virtue oi
the deceased, by the preacher. There
was a ilutteriug OF Grape badges, and

They left the dead man and returned
to thepalace where sorrow died even
as the Grape was taken from the door
knob.
And in the grave the dead man
still clutches the Dollar.

HeSOlred, That no authority exists,
either civil or military, under the

ReSolUed, That the citizens Of said

OF citizenship by the judgment OF

pursuance Of law, are citizens orthc

The great Critchfcld wants us to
understand that, the rebellion being
put down, n rebel is as good a man

rhc Radical Heroes.

There is hardly one Of the men who
were prominent in the proceedings OF
the recent Radical Disunion demonstra-
ton at Pittsburgh, or of the preceding
Negro suffrage Convention at Philadel-
phia, who has not record in favor Of
secession and slavery. Up to 1861
Brownlow was the most violent ard
prolane advocate Of slavery and a
Southern Confederacy that could be
found IN the whole country. He gave
the keynote OF secession, and threaten
ed war upcn the North. lie was
probably the first who started the idea
OF Southern Confedereyq in the inter-
ests of slavery. Butler was also vio-
lent proslayery ad7oeate, lie quarrel
led with the Democratic leaders in 1860
because they were not sufficiently pro-
slavery and Statcs.riglfts. lie set on
foot the political movement which re-
suited in the adoption Of ordinances Of
secession in the South. He was the
sworn friend and chief fuglcman ofJcf-
| ferson Davis, and until the .commence-
mcut Of actual hostilitics, the most ear
nest pro slavery Democrat in all tho
North Governor General Hamilton
was an open advocate Of the revival of
the African slaye-tradc, aud an appli-
cant for money 10 raise company for
the use Of the Southern Confedcracy.--
Speed the President Of the Philadel-
phia Negro-suiTragc Convention, was, at
the beginning Of the war, opposed 10
coercion OF the South, and did more,
perhaps, than any one other man, .cx-
cept the rebel General Buckuer, to in
duce Kentucky to take up arms to pre-
vent The Union troops from invading
the South John a. Logan, now the
great Radical big gun in the West, was
at one time openly charged by his
Union neighbors in Illinois with raising
troops for the rebel army, aud about
that period stood up in a sporting house
in this city, and, raising his right arm,
exclaimed, "It ever / take up arms
