From Washington.
WASHINGTON. Nav Is

w 4udJ IC'
The President returned to the Senate,
to-day, the bill for the admission of Colo
RADIO as State, with his objections, which
are merely on grounds of insufficient
population The President remarks, in
the course of his message, that if the in
formation submitted in connection with
this bill is reliable, Colorado, instead OF
increasing, has declined iR population. :.
In his concluding remarks, the Presl,
dent says it is a common interest OF all
the States-as we'll those represented as
those unrepresented-that tho integrity
and harmony of the Union should be re-
stored as completely as possible, SO that
all those who are expected to bear the
burdens of the Federal Government shall
be consulted concerning the admission OF
the new States, and that in the meantime
no new States shall be prematurely and
unnecessarily admitted to participation
in the political power which the Federal
Government wields-not for the benefit
of any individual State or section but for
the common safety, welfare and happi-
ness of the whole country.
WASHINGTON, May II.
The Senate passed the West Point ap-
preparation bill. 1t contains provision
prohibiting the appointment of any Ca
Diet who has served in the army OF navy
of the late Confederate States.
The Consular and Diplomatic appropri-
alton bill was passed.
The House resumed the consideration
of the tax bill.
A letter from General Grant was re-
ccived recommending an increass of the
regular army, for the purpose Of supply
ing the place of those troops who are
now going out Of service.

A FREEDMAN's ORGAN ON THE BUREAU.
The colored people of Mobile have a
paper called the Nationalist. A colored
man writing to it from New Orleans,
says:
IA thousand times better would it be
for the colored man were it abolished,
for, instead of being safeguard or pro-
lection for the freedmen, it is only place
in which freedmen's rights are bartered
away; it serves only to engcncderI bitter
ness and hatred in the hearts of the very
people with whom we expect to live, die
and be buried. x The sooner it is
out of the way the better for all parties
concerned" We always knew that the
better class of the negroes objected to the
Bureau as strongly as the whites, and we
are glad to perceive that their opinions
are getting into print in way that can
throw no doubt over their genuineness.

ORIGIN of Seeing the Elephant -


About thirty years since, at one OF the
theatres,a pageant was in rehearsal, in
which it was necessary to have an ele-
phant. No elephant was to be had. The
uwild beasts" were all travelling, and the
property man, manager and stage dl-
rector almost had fits when they thought
Of it. Days passed in the hopeless task
of trying to secure one, but at last in
genuity triumphed, and the elephant was
made to order, of wood, skins, paints and
varnish. Thus far the matter was very
we'll, but as yet they found no means to
make that combination travel. Here,
again, the manager, stage director and
property man struck out, and two "broths
were duly installed as legs: Ned Cox,
one of the true genuine "b'hoys," held
the responsible position of fore legs, and
for several nights played that heavy part
to the entire satisfaction of the managers
and the delight of the audience, The
part, however, was very tedious one, as
the elephant was obliged to be on the
stage for about an hour, and Ned was
rather too fond of the bottle to remain so
long without "wetting his whistle" so he
set bis wits to work to find way to carry
a wee drop with him. The eyes of the
elephant being made of two porter bot
ties, with the neck in, Ned conceived
the brilliantidea of filing them with good
stuff. This he fully carried out, and elated
with success, he willingly undertook to
play four legs again.
Night came on, the theatre was densely
crowded, the music was played in the
sweetest strains, the curtain rose and the
play began. Ned and the "hind legs"
marched upon the stage. The elephant
was greeted with round after round of
applause; the decorations and trappings
were gorgeous. The elephant and the
prince upon his back were loudly cheer
ed. The play proceeded-the elephant
was marched round and round upon the
stage. The four legs got dry, withdrew
one of the corks and treated the hind
legs, and then drank the health of the
audience in 8 bumper of genuine "ele-
phant eye" whiskey, a brand, till then,
unknown The concluding march was to
be made-the signal was given, and the
four legs were staggering to the front OF
the stage. The conductor pulled the ele-
plants ear to the right-the four legs
staggered to the left. The footlights OBJ
straeted the way, and he raised his foot
and stepped in the orchestra Down
went the fore legs on the leaders fiddle
over, of course, turned the elephant,
sending the prince and the hind legs into
the middle of the pit The managers
stood horror-srruck-the prince and the
hind legs lay confounded, the boxes in
convulsions, the actors choking with
laughter, and poor Ned, casting one look,
a strange blending of drunkenness, grief
and laughter at the scene, fled hastily
out of the theatre, closely followed by the
leader, with the wreck of his fiddle, per-
forming various cut and thrust motions
in the air. The curtain dropped on
scene behind the scenes. No more pa
geant-no more fore legs-everybody
held their sides. Music, actors, pit, boxes
and gallery rushed from the thoater,
shrieking between every breath-"Hace
pou seen the elephant? ?"

The Internal Revenue Bureau, act
ing under the general law, requires all
citizens of the South to render income
returns for the year 1864 as we'll as for
1865. Some of the rebel officers residing
in Alexandria, Va, are startled by the
calls of Assessors upon them to furnish
the required statements, and are sur
prised that the rations received by them
in the Confederate army are estimated at
forty cents. One of them expressed his
readiness to pay his tax in Confederate
money, but this was, of course, declined.
A PREDICTION VERrFIED.-In 1859
gentleman by the name of Talbot Green,
of Tennessee, afterwards an officer in the
late rebel army, published a popular work
entitled, GA Winter in the Federal City"
in which he positively asserts that can
drew Johnson, in spite of the fates, would
be Chief Magistrate of the United States
before the close of the year 1885," that
ahis administration would be stormy
that he would labor under extraordinary
embarrassment, but would eventually
make one of the most popular Presidents
that ever ruled in America"
- A returning soldier was accosted by
q boot-black with the usual salutation,
"Black your boots, sir, make 'em shine J"
Looking at his unpublished 'sgunboats" in
contemplative way, the war-worn vete-
ran replied: "Well, / don't care if you
do; fall in promptly though" The ur-
chin gazed moment at the soldier, sur
veying him from his "leathers' upwards,
and then turning to comrade near by,
shouted out: aIsay, Bill, lend us hand,
won't yer? I've got an army contract "
- A very respectable lady of Union
CITY, Indiana, who has been very strong
Republican in her feelings, came to the
polls and offered to vote, which of course,
was refused, when she replied very indig-
nantly: "Just as 1 thought-niggers be-
fore women"
-k Washington letter writer tells a
droll story of the President, by which it
would appear that he was shaved the 9th
or day, when the barber aocidently tweak-
ed the nose a little too hard. "Pardon
me," said the barber, very naturally:
uPub your hand in my coat pocket and
pull out one," rejeined the Chief Masis-
trate, "and I'll fill it out for you when
you've DONE"
Some slandering bachelor says it is
much Joy when you first get married, but
it is much more joUy after year or SO.
