EF-The men of the North, who for four
years sympathised with rebellion, opposed the
war, denounced the administration, apologised
for treason, and fi1ally were represented by
Booth in the assassination of Lincoln, are to-
day the ones who claim to be the most truly

tanned the Government, and who are deman-
ding that the President shall prescribe all but
themselves and the southern rebels.

Death of a Famous Rope-dancer.


Madame SaquI, a rope-dancer, whose fame
dates from the beginning of this century, died
in Paris in January, in her eightieth year. 1t
is recorded of her that ON the occasion of the
birth of the First Napoleon's son, the King Of
Rome, she offered to dance on rope between
the two towers of Notre Dame. Napoleon re-
fused to allow the exhibition Subsequently
she appeared, in defiance of the Emperor's
prohibition, on her rope, in the midst of dis
play of Fireworks feat then novel, and one
which excited the utmost astonishment.-
When she heard that the Emperor was in a
great rage at his command having been DISC
beyed, she said, "Tell him to give orders to
his grenadiers, and let us risk our lives as we
like, for our glory.'"a INA 10 ~ a = ~
She made large fortune at the little thea
tire on the Boulevard du Temple, (Which for
many years bore her name, and afterwards
became the Delassements Comiques) and then
purchased with her savings Voltare's house
and grounds at Ferney, but. was very soon
obliged to sell it, and during the latter years
of her life was in great poverty. Only four
years ago she danced at the Hipprodrome,
where at the age Of seventy-six, it was won
drous but sorry sight to see her. a3- J-l.

as he knew it was untrue that there was any
party which wished to keep the late repei
States out of the Union. He believed all 10Y
al men looked to the same end, anu ne neiu
that the President had no warrant ior us CRU
icisms of Congress. :.
He then went Oh to show that the fresl-
dent is continually doing what, 1t is said he
denies to Congress the right to do, viz, inter-
terinq with the reconstruction process when
ever Il does not suit his notions. He read Mr..
Stewards despatch to the North Carolina Con-
yention concerning the rebel war debt 1.-The
Presidents letter to Governor Perry concern
ing the adoption of the amendment to the
Constitution abolishing slavery, the order of
General Thomas respecting the suits against
ex-army officers in Tennessee, the order OF
General Terry setting aside the Virginia va
grant laws, the order of General Sickles an
nuiling the negro code of South Carolina, and
the order of General Grant for the protection
OF loyal men and freedmen in the entire
South, and said ali this was the work OF the
President, Sanctioned by him, if not done di-
rectly by his orders. And yet re are tOld''
| said he, "that the radical party must be put
| down because it insists that military control
shall vet be kept over the rebel States, and
the Joint committee of fifteen is denounced as
| revolutionary, because it is organized on the
| assumption that these States are not yet in
cOnultOu W TCSuulG IuclI III tllC OAiAohs
He held it to be the duty Of the govern
ment to put the power of the several States
| in the hands of the loyal men thereof, and aid
them by military power till they were strong
enough to sustain themselves. The conduct
| of the present authorities in each OF those
| States was proof positive that the rights of no
| loyal man, whether white or black, could re-
| ceive protection while they are in power, and
the conduct OF the President was proof posi-
tive that he was well enough aware Of this
| fact. ~ -ti y
He called the attention of the country to
the fact that the democratic party claims to be
specially just now, the Presidents party, and
to the other fact, that all the congressional OIL
ators of that party are denouncing other men
for delaying the ,readmission of the Southern
representatives and for demanding that the
military shall not be withdrawn from the
Southern States and then he wanted it no
| ticed that the President was doing just what
| it was said that Congress must not do, and
the democratic party were protesting to sane
ton in him line of policy which they de-
nounced in the dominant party Of Congress.
| For himself, he wanted it understood that he
belonged neither to the republican party nor
| to the democratic party. He was free to crit
| icise the acts Of each, and he was also free to
! criticise the acts and words Ofthe President.
