BABY TALK.

Some sksons don't like babyStalk, There was
onee aacld bachelor whom it made particularly
nervous. Driving his vehicle. along the road one
day, he overlook mother toling along with ba-
by in her arms. She appealed to him for rides
which he consented to on condition that she would
talk no baby-talk She promised, but hardly got
seated before she began: {" Is itty Georgy-porgy,
gettin such a nice itty yidy-pidy 2" I" Madam
don't say that agar" said the man, cor youIhave

Such man ought to be punished, by reading TO
him the following:

The Town Council.

We commenced last week the publication of
the Ordinances recently enacted BY our Town
Council. It appears that the Council has reg
ularly entered upon the dschar &c OF its labori
Gus duties; beginning. as il were, upon new
foundation and has given earnest af great er
fciency and future usefulness. The Council
has made arrangements with this Office for the
publication Of all the Ordinances, and such 9th
er proeesdin gs as it may desire to bring before
the public during the present term. We have
contracted to do this printing at price almost
nominal, in consideration OF the fact that the
matter TO be published is OF especial local in.
tsrsst. The laws made by the Council are i'm.
porlant to our Village subscribers, and our pa.
per affords the only practicable medium for
making these laws known TO those whom they
concern.
IL has been the custom for several years back
to post tho Ordinances Of the Council upon the
street corners. where, Of course, they were not
noticed or read, except, perhaps, by few per.
sons from the country. who wefe not interest.

The Presidents Proclamation.

Our readers will peruse with great interest
tn recent Proclamation Of President johnson,
declaring the civil war at an end, which We
publish in this paper. lnasmuch as the Presi.
dent declares that standing armies, military
tribus ais, and the suspension of the writ of
hobeas corpus are inconsstant with State Of
peace; that the people Of the Southern States
have given every necessary evidence Of loyalty
and acquiesence in the result of the attempted
revolution, and that the civil law, Federal aud
State, are adequate in said States, it may reason.
ably lie expected that the Proclamation will
coon he followed by orders for the Withdrawal!
Of the military forces. The Proclamation does
not give as representation in Congress, ss some
erroneously supposed. that being n matter
which belongs to Congress, and over which
the President has no control. The Radicals
will doubtless keep US out, if they can possibly
do so, until they succeed in passing some OF
their extreme aud unfriendIy measures over tue
Presidents veto.

vetoed, we are by no ~ cans as confident as We
have been of the power Of the Presid ent to
speedily and utterly demolish the strength of tho
Radical party. 1t must be to every patriotic
citizen OF this country a source of profound re,
gret, that the President has not received In the
free States that united, cordial and prom pit sup
port which was generally anticipated. While
his patriotism and integrity are not questioned
by any others than the dirty ducks" of the
Radical press, like Forney, Dana, Ti,ton al d
Greeley, the Radical influence with the North
ern people is much greater thaa we had antici,
patcd.
Nototiously hostile as that party :s 70 the
Presidents policy, it is giving at this time much
fewer signs OF disintegra,ion and dissolution
than it did month since. II the Radical par
ty, OF which Sumner and Stevens are the leaders,
was not sustained to much greater extent
than We had supposed by tho masses at the
North, the Presidents veto of the Frcelmeu's =
Bureau bill and his speech OH the 22i OF Feb
rua'y would have long since shattered that
party from cnpstone to foundation.
But recent State and municipal elections, the
resolutions of various Legislatures, the tone Of
the Radical press aud the resolutions of various
public meetings show that the.infuencs of Com
grcss is still very great with the NSrtbe TN
people.
There Is, too, upon the part Of Congress, q
rapidly increasing hostility to the President,
which fort odcS successful attempts, at no dis
tamt day, to pass bills winch have been vetoed
over the Presidents head
In the Senate, especially, we behold an ut

While no one can doubt the ultimate t.iumph
Of the Presidents polc,. We can see at this
time no indications of i,s.spccdy success.

Mr.. Trumbull mado n speech against it

The President to day sent to the House
communication from the Governor of

allowed to assume and pay in State bonds
the direct tax now due from her. or that
a delay of payment may be authorized
until the State can. by the sale Of its

its liquidation. The President concurs in
the opinion Of tie Secretary Of the Trea.

the other Southern States be allowed to
