Inc washington correspondent OF
the New York Herald, writing unde,
date Of the oath inst, says:
The rumpus in the radical camp
! is constantly increasing, and the
strength of the President is propor-
tionately augmenting. The cause of
the disaffection in the ranks of the
Congressional disunionists, and the
rumpus among their leaders is be-
coming apparent. Their chief men
outside of Congress are beginning to
see the futlhty of their opposition to
the Presidents scheme of restoration,
and are looking about for some plan
OF accommodation or compromise. 1t
is rcmored Oh the street that Benj.
Butler Is engineering a scheme for
the preservation of the Republican
party, which embraces set of mea-
sures between those settled upon
by the President and the crude
ideas entertained by Thad. Stevens.
Sumner and their adherents. Buffers
scheme is said to be, first, that the
President shall make complete
change of his Cabinet, aud call
to his council men in full accord
with the policy to be pursued. He
then proposes a general amnesty to
all the people Of the South, with the
fewest possible exceptions, such ex-
ceptlons to be confined to Davis and
his Cabinet, West Point graduates
who have served in the rebel armies.
members of Congress who vacated
their seats at the breaking out of the
rebellion, and perhaps q very few
other notoriously bad cases; that
Congress shall then pass some sort of
an enabling act, requiring of the
Southern States that they shall en-
dorse the political prescriptions,
amend their constitutions to conform
thereto, give equality to all men, re-
pndiate forever the rebel debt, and
officially manifest an accord with the
accommodating disposition of the
General Government; that the test
oath be then abolished, and Congress
adjourn for three months
On the acceptance by the Southern
States Of these terms and their alop-
ton, elections to be held throughout
the South for members Of Congress,
any person not specially excluded by
to election. On the re assembling Of
Congress, if it shall appear that the
Southern States have conforned to
the terms, their Representatives shall
be at once admitted, Oh the same
conditions and footing as the North
ern Representatives. This is the
outline Of the general scheme, which
is carefully drawn up and mntilreL
in all its details. This scheme com
menIs itself to the more intelligent
of the radicals, who can see the ab-
sence of any hope for the success of
their Jacobinical ideas, and explains
the breach Of corliality between
Sumner and Stevens on the recon
struction business. 1t remains to be
seen whether or not the President is
prepared to abandon the plan that
was conceived by his lamented pre-
decessor, and which has been so nn-
waveringly pursued by himself

IHE BILL TO AMEND THE HApEAs
CORPUS AcT.-This bill has passed
both Houses of Congress. The os-
tensible motive for enacting 1.-THE
protection of officers of thu United
States army from vexatious suits for
damages in consequence of acts done
in the line of their duty-is COM
mendable enough, though We fancy
the desire to screen certain noted par.
ties from the legal consequences Of
their misdeeds contributed not little
to securing the success Of the measure.
Some of the provisions of the bill are
declared by able lawyers to be uncon-
stitutional, and will probably be held
80 by the Courts This is less to be
regretted, as tie law; in its present
shape, has several Objectionable fea-
lures about it.
1t Is retrospective in its operation,
and therefore comes under the con-
stitntional prohibition against er post
facfo laws. Moreover, if any citizen
has been damnitied by the tortuous
act OF m officer, right of action nc
cred to him at the time the trespass
was committed; and such right is a
vested right, of which no subsequent
legislation Of Congress can divest
him.
All that Congress can properly do
IN the matter-all that it ought to
dds to relieve an officer who has
lnnocently rendered himself liable to
suit, from the consequences of his
act, by assuming his defence and pay
ing the Judgment, if one should be
had against him.-Netc York Ne,cs.

they gave the wink 70 Tim and the
party resolved TO have some sport
at Felix's expense. II am the Head
Center" said Tim. /" and will initiate
YOU at once" All hands adjourned
to the stage Of the theatre and the
ceremonies began. The stage was
dimly lighted and presented q wicrd
and ghostly appearance. Felix was
undaunted. however, and stepped
upon the boards. Charley ThOrne,
who occupied huge chair on the
stage as initiator, directed him to
stand upon a certain spot, which
was directly over n trap door; the
place where the ghost of the mur-
dercd king of Denmark had often
disappeared, and the Corsican broth
cr had often rose in awful majesty
before thrilled assemblages. When
Felix took his position, Charley
Thorne pronounced some horrible
incantation blue lights blazcd from
unseen places a gong was sounded
loudly; pistol fired close to his car,
and at a given signal the trap was
sprung. Down went Felix under
the stage, "lost to sight, tho to
memory dear" He came up again
and was laid lengthwisc on trap.
Once more The blue lights blazed,
the gong sounded, tho pistol fired,
and Felix disappeared the second
time. A. coffin was so arranged
that he landed face to face to it.
There was grinning skeleton in
in the coffin holding a candle in his
hand, reminding Felix, doubtless, of
that scene which met the gaze of
Tam O'Shanter, by "Alloway's
haunted kirk" when
s.Cofins stood around like open presses,
Showing the dead in their last dresses
And by some dcvilish cantrapt sleight,
E,h in his cauld hand held light
The scene rather staggered Felix,
his hair standing out like "quills
upon the fretful porcupine;' but he
uttered no words of complaint; he
would be initiated though thousand
skeletons stare and gibber at him.
Felix crawled up again from under
the stage and was asked a number of
questions by Charley Thorne, when
he was once more hurled beneath
the stage and left in total darkness.
The crowd that was witnessing the
initiatory ceremony withdrew from
the theatre, and Felix had to grope
his way out alone. When he finally
into the street, he told the
boys the ceremony was id rough
and horrible one, but he was willing
to suffer even more than that for his
country.-Eraminer.

2 The absorbing power Ut the
atmosphere, and consequently its
capabiIity to retain humidity, is pro-
portionalIy greater in warm than in

3. The air near the surface of the
earth is warmer than in the region
of the clouds. The higher we ascend
from the earth, the colder we find
the atmosphere. Hence, the perpet-
ual snow on very high mountains in
the hottest climates. Now, when
from continual evaporation the air is
highly saturated with vapor, though
it be invisible, and the sky cloudless,
ifits temperatures suddenly reduced
by cold currents Of air rushing from
q higher to a lower latitude, its ca
pacity to retain moisture is dimin-
ished clouds are formed, and the
result is rain. Air condenses as it
cools, and like sponge filled with
water and compressed, pours out the
water which its diminished capacity
cannot retain.

MAKING A "V."-A story is told

MAKING A "V."-A story is told
of an auctioncer, who was provok-
ing'y annoyed willie in the exercise
of his profession, by tho ludicrous
bids of a fellow whose object seemed
to be to make sport for the buyers
rather than himself to buy. AT
length, enraged beyond endurance,
the knight of the ivory hammer,
looking around the room for cham
pion to avenge his wrongs, fixed his
eyes upon a biped of huge dimen =
sions, a very monarch in strength,
aud cried ont:

that was heard all over the room:
"My good friend, you 90 out with
me, I give you halt the money"
"Donc J" said the fellow.
"Hurrah! hurrah :" shouted the

The auctioncer has the good sense

PLAYED OUT.-San Francisco boasts
ofa saloon called the Bank Exchange,
where the finest wines and liquors
are dispensed at twenty-five cents q
glass, with lunches thrown in free.
A plain-looking person went in Que
morning and called for brandy
cocktail, and wanted it strong. MI.
Parker, as is usual with him, was
very considerate, and mixed the
drink in his best style, setting it
down for his customer. After the
cocktail had disappeared the narfy
leaned over the bar and said that he
had no change about him then, but
would have soon, when he would
pay for the drink. Parker politely
remarked that he should have men.
toned that fact before he got the
drink; when his customer remarked,
II tried that on yesterday morning
with one of your men, but he
wouldn't let me have the whisky, 40
you could not play that dodge on
me again !" This was too good for
Parker, and he told the customer he
was welcome to the drink, and was
entitled to his hat in the bargain, if
he wanted it. =. siof ''faa

then, is an American "aristocracy"-
an "upper ten thousand"-when it
claims by these terms an actual sep
aration from other conditions of mon.
If a man can amuse himself with the
conceit that a few hundred thousand
dollars, a fine establishment, costly
wines and horses, really make him a
greater personality in the universe
than the poor brother by his side, so
that the latter has no business to
"come between the wind and his
why-it may do no great
harm as long as he keeps his conceit
to himself. Or, if a class of people
choose to play nobility, or effect a
titled distinction, it's as lawful as any
other comedy. Though we may
remind them that their only source
Of nobility is in the very things they
effect to dcspise. Their good, hon
cat, fathers and grandfathers, indus
trious and steady, had moro nobility
in one muscle Of their sweaty toll,
than runs through all their arteries
the consciousness Of blood that has
flown through historic veins, and
under blazoncd shields on
fields of renown. I can respect the
aristocracy of talent, rising above all
in ITS splendor and its
power. I Ican respect the aristocracy
of enterprise, that bursts all obstacles
and itself earns and holds with a
modest self.assertion. But of all ar
istocracy, the aristocracy of mere
vulgar, tiaring wealth, and nothing
else, is the emptiest and the silliest.
