Loves Melancholy"

This delicious phase of the tender pas
sion has ever been favorite theme with
the poets; but, in art, we rarely find 1t
attempted, Its peculiar nature, indeed,
places it almost beyond the range OF art
expression 1t is so exclusively an inte-
rior experience, it results from such a
variety of causes, and is so little demon
strative that only the most subtle and
exquisite skill can hope to give it any
adequate expression upon canvas. 1t Is
not melancholy, properly speaking; for,
although the current of life takes a sub
dued flow, this pause is attended with
such an increase of peaceful, soul-satis-
fying ioy that the world seems nobler,
richer, brighter than ever before, Ordi-
nary melancholy may be likened to the
stopping of the current through diminu-
ton of supply or impairment OF vigor
but loves melancholy is rather the mo-
mentary halting of the stream that Ia
about to change its course and flow on IN
new channel with increasing volume
and power. Accordingly, except to the
most superficial observation, 1t has little
in common with that melancholy which
comes, as the word indicates, from black
bile The one looks through darkened
medium upon the world, and every object
borrows hue of fdespalr. The other sees
the dawn of an unimagined grandeur and
glory in life, and stands in delicious sus-
pense before the mysteries OF destiny
the fruition of boundless blessings; the
sweet distrustings of new existence,
and the exultation ofhope.

Gift Enterprise swindlas-

The Senate Post-offiee Committee, in
considering Senator Dixon 5 bill to pre-
vent the mails being used for fraudulent
purposes, has received great deal OF
information about gift enterprise swim
dies. We have already furnished some
through these columns Several Post,
masters have forwarded specimens OF
circulars sent by rogues to get money,
and the attempt, even after the dupes
are warned by the Postoffice authorities,
is often successful In one case, man
at small town in New Jersey by send
ing out captivating circular, received
in reply over twenty,six hundred letters
enclosing money. The senders of these
circulars, and also of lottery schemes,
and other alluring plans for getting rich
by steam, act upon the maxim that all
the fools are not dead yet

Position of the President and Congress


Correspondence of the Cincinnati Commercial ]
g WASHINGTON, March -.
Coming to Washington On business,
was requested, by friends in the West to
find out "how matters stand here" and
report. / said, 90 will" 1t was a very
large contract, and i am not able to MI
it. After several weeks OF faithful
search and investigation, ! am enabled
to-say, without fear of successful contra
diction, that don't know how matters
stand here" neither does any other liv-
ing man in Washington or elsewhere.
Matters don't stand here = they move.
They don move in any given direction,
but are striking out in all directions,
They don't stand in the morning as they
did in the evening, and when the day
closes again, new base has been
reached. Skirmishing is the order OF
the day; guerrilas and jayhawkers
abound. Several times / have been
nearly knocked down, run over, tram
pied under foot and gobbled up by the
excited Judge Puffey, of Swellvillc,
Spread County, Massachusetts, who came
to Washington to use his great influence
and exercise his broad, comprehen-
sive intellect, to settle this little misun-
derstanding between Congress and the
President, rushing to the room of the
Hon. Mr.. Save-the-country with such
speed that small boys might have played
marbles on his horizontal coat-tails, to
| inform him that Andy johnson was a
id traitor" He had that moment
heard from a most reliable African, who
was iust from the White House, that he
| lthe said African) had heard from the
| servant girl, in the kitchen, that Mr.
| Confederatus, a colonel in the rebel army
during the war, was TO be appointed Col
lector of the Internal Revenue at Mo-
bile: that the President, when waited on
by himself and a delegation of the most
monument. influential and loyal citizens
of Sweryille, had declined to appoint
William Lloyd Garrison to the Collee-
torship at New York: " tell you were
betrayed, and the county is ruined
exclaims Judge PuHey T" myself saw
a man from Alabama in the President
ante-rosml" and approaching the honor
able member, whispers in his ear; Two
copperheads had an interview with the
President yesterday-they were Sunset
Cox and Wash. Mclean, Of Ohio. The
Hon. Mr. Save-the-country sinks back in
his chair, raising his hands to heaven,
exclaiming NV God +
Pass through any crowd at the street
corner or at Wizards, and you will hear
excited discussion and contention. The
excitement does not abate; each day
but adds fuel to the flame The most
outrageous charges are made openly
Z .gainsf the President on the streets, and
by the clerks in the Departments. An
dy johnson is as great a traitor, says
one, ''as JET Davis. Another exclaims,
Hes drunk half the time, and don
know what he's doing" A third, He
had the delirium tremens-he sees
snakes"
Then, on the other hand, with flashing
Z eve and burning cheeks, the President IS
Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1866-03-31

warmly, earnestly and intelligently de-
Tended To these charges they respond
"You' re id fool there isn't purer,
truer man on earth than Andrew John
SON. 'Did he so gallantly battle these
traitors for five years, yea, all his life,
to turn traitor now" "Show me where,
in single instance, he has gone back on
any principle or sentiment he has ever
avowed Place your finger upon a sim
gle act of his that is untrue TO the coun-
try or the party that elected him. "Ad.
init tnat his speech of February I'D
was unwise and in bad taste, yet even in
that, where is the sentiment or principle
that the Union men Of this country do
not, or at the time of his election, did
not, indorse p And all the crowd keep
silence
1t is Babel Of opinion here-a polt-
ieal chaos. No two prominent men think
alike. Congress is very weak and pow
erless, because there is no unity of pur-
pose or action in that body. II is true
that much good results from this wide
range Of discussion as to reconstruction,
the relations of the States to the General
Government, the principles lying at the
| foundation of our form of government
and all democratic and republican insti-
tutions, and the inalienable rights Of man
as man. Ont Of great discussions great
truths are evolved, and thereafter
stand revealed and imperishable.
Much earnest work has been done by
many earnest men to harmonize Con
gress and the President Some think
It will yet be accomplished, and that
while the Union men in Congress may
differ with the Union President in the
means to accomplish the great end, yet
the end sought to be accomplished by
both is the same; that they are travelling
on converging lines; that the Union
President and the Union Congress both
seek the unity and highest good of the
whole countryside protection Of every
man within the shadow Of its banners in
his inalenable, God-given rights-event
ually theequality of all men before the
law, and the welding of the whole ma
jesty and power OF our Government IN
the elevation, culture and progress of oul
people, and the development of the un
comprehended resources and limltless
wealth of our vast domains Others think
that no harmony can ever be reached
| that the executive and legislative branch
es, as now conducted, are vitally antago-
nistical, and that, like flint and steel, fire
will fly every time they come in contact,
