Paris, a young woman of the hum
bier classes was married to a young
man in the same sphere of life. The
priest was making few appropriate
remarks, exhorting the young couple
to mutual affection and fidelity.
After he had finished, the bride.

"Monsieur le Cure, if my husband

he does not, why, will not bind

The Radical politicians seem to be
all of piece, wherever they are found
Luckily there are some honest men
among them, and they serve 10 reveal
the doings of the majority One of these
rare birds, some days ago, undertook
to venGlAte the doings of his party in
the Legislature of Pennsylvania. AL
luding to the extravaganza of the lower
branch Of that body, he said
There were nineteen posters and
folders receiving Sc 90 each per day
The work done by these nineteen men
could be accomplished by three or four
boys One man
presented g bill amounting to S2,4O0
The Auditor General thought the
charge enormous, and cut it down $500
The person presenting the bill did not
complain, but gave as an excuse for his
exOrbitant charge, thst he was to di
vide the profits with the Superintend-
ent of Public Buildings"
That will answer Tor sample even
of Missouri Radicalism. But this
Pennsylvania Legislature went further
in Initiating ours The last days of its
existence were signslized by raising the
salaries of most Of the officers in the
State. The Governors was raised TO
s., 600, Judges TO $500, $500, and
5000 They increased the pay of all
the county officers, and finally hey
voted themselves $500 9pjeee. The fellows
knew where the milk in the cocoanut
lay, as well as ours.--H louis Rep.

The Darkies on the Rampage.


The colored population are beginning
to feel their civil rights. We hear Of
four or five of them promenading into
a fashionable restaurant, sitting down
among white ladies and gentlemen and
appealing to the Civil Rights bill to
protect them from ejec:ment This
little game will probably be tried at our
churches, theatres and other places OF
resort, and it will cause some temporary
Inconvenience and annoyance; but in
course of time all these things will set
tie themselves and the darkies will be
quietly regulated by the force of public
opinion.
But perhsPs the most amusing in
stance Of the civil rights Juror is the
psesen tatiOn to the Senate of petition,
signed by q couple Of dozen darkies,
for the expulsion of Senator Davis, of
Kentucky. This absurd petition, with
such names as "Sam," jeff" "Ras,"
"Bin" and "Clem" attached, was grave.
ly presented by the irrepressible Sum.
neT, and the Senate as gravely referred
it to the Judiciary Committee, instead
of laying it on the table, or under the
table, or in the waste basket We do
not ssy that Senator Davis does not de.
serve this token of remembrance from
the children of Africa for he has been
pretty hard upon them in his time; but
certainly the Senate ought to have suf-
ficient respect for It's own dignity not
to encourage such petitions aud petit
tioners.-N 7. Herald

ket the past week, was brought to q sudden

though buyers thought themselves emitted

the demand Still prices are well sustain
ed The receipts Of corn are light, but the
demand is principally local, and not press
ing. Oats are offered rather more freely,
and prices ruled slightly in favor Of buyers.
Rye remains steady, but with lighter de-
mand. There is a good demand for barley,
and holders are ASKING an advance which,
however, they failed TO realize. The for
eign news reports an advance of Id in cot
ton, which had a salutary effect upon the
market. Small sales Of middling were
made at SOC per 10, but holders are not
anxious to sell at that price, confidently ex-
pectng a further improvement. There is
little demand for whisky, aside from the
small order trade, and to elect sales of
round lots il is found necessary to submit TO
concessions Of &c per gallon The grocery
trade is not active, but there is a far de-
mand from the country, aud sugar and
coffee rule rather firmer. Dry goods open

news from New YORK took the lie out of
the provision trade to-day, and small lots of
stuff were offered at a decline on Saturdays
prices; but, as the stocks are generally in
the hands of holders of nerve and back

market. Mess Pork was generally held at
$2S 25a28 so, although some was offered at

for bacon, and all that is ready for market
has been bought up. Lard sold to a limited
extent at zoe, and more was offered at that
price. Still large lots could not be obtained
under 2O1ac.

General Dix on the Presidents
Policy.

At the great Brooklyn meeting on
wednesday evening last a letter from
Maior General John A. Dix was read.
in which he expressed the fullest con-
currence in the general scope of Presi-
dent Johnsons policy lie said that
from the close Of the war ii had been
understood that the Southern States
should resume their places in the Union
and their representation in Congress,
upon giving assent 10 the constitutional
amendment abolishing slavery and re-
pudiating the rebel debt, and that the
exaction Of new conditions was a viola
ton of that understanding. Much hos
tile feeling at the South must be ex-
pected as a consequence of the war,
but il is in the power Of each house Of
Congress to deny seats to disloyal men.
Nothing is so incompatible with the
principles Of our government as TO
exercise in peace control over States
not represented. Nothing can result
from the admission OF representatives
So prejudicid in its Influence as the
example of denying TO States a voice
in the government The public inter
est demands speedy restoration, and
the policy Of the President, as best cal
culsted TO secure it, has the Generals
hearty approval

Executive AppOintments--The Presi-
dents Friends TO Receive the Pre-
ference.
Within a few days past a great
change il noticeable IN the matter of
Executive appointments. The Presi-
dent seems 10 have realized that longer
forbearanee with the enemies of his
administration and its measures was
working rank injustice to his friends,
and to have realized the potency of the
old party maxim that ITO the victOrs
belong the spoils. As q consequence
the radicals, who mustered efirOntery
enough to call upon the President and
solicit appointments for their friends,
received little reward for their labors,
and were treated to plain exposition
of his intentions for the future. They
were told in language decisive and I'M
mistakable that his friends should
have the preference, and that no
known enemy of the administration
policy should receive the quasi endorse
ment of q federal appointment In
addition TO this, the axe has actually
been set to work, and decapitstions are
now of daily occurrence. It's effects
are already visible in the altered and
respectful department of m@e than
one radical opponent in both branches
of Congress. Heretofore, when the
Presidents private secretary was sent
to the Capitol on official business he
was received with a naughty frigidity
that was absolutely insulting Within
a few days all have become anxious to
do him reverence He is met with the
blandest of smiles and surrounded by
crowds who protest against any rupture
of the friendly relations that should
exist between the President and Con.
gress, and who vie with each other in
bestowing attentsons, uttering pretty
speeches and deprecating the idea that
they are or ever were IN hostility to
the Executive. But the work will 60
on. No one will be deceived by bOl-
low pretences Those officeholdeTs
who have abused their positions TO
vilify the President and disrupt the
republican party will be made TO give
way to better men. The bare nantes
tatioR of this resolve has already half
accomplished its purpose.-C6T. ~ J.

The New York Journal Of Commerce Of

market:
The trade has been very much unsettled
throughout the week, and prices have ia
vOred the buyer. The disturbance could
hardly be called panic, but almOst every
thing has been unstable, and bOth sales and
prices very uncertain, Some holders have
sat down calmly 10 await the return Of
events, while others have been much ex
cited, and used almost frantic exertiOns 10
crowd oil their stock. The result Ia either
case has been at out the same, for the mar
ket could neIiher be coaXed BOT driven into
activity, and buyers have taken nothing ex-
cept from actual necessity. Occasionally
there have been some very important sales,
due to q concession in pnces, but this has
seemed to be 10 iuducement 10 the general
{ ade. The present condition OF tue manu-
