a bright JoKE.-A good joke
was lately gotten of at "A hotel in
Wales, where II number Of gentle.
men were. The conversation, which
was political and general, turned ON
John Il right, and all but one per.
son (and he a strangely engaged in
it, berating the Reiorlner III most
unsparing terms. The stranger
rose and left the room. Calling n
servant to him, he said, III any Of
| the gentlemen III the room ask who
am, tell them l am John Bright
AS soon as the waiter went back
! into tie room he was asked who
that gentleman was. 'Ihat snort
gentleman that just went OUT =
YES why, that's Mr.. John
Bright, NJ. p II is easy to imagine
the constcrnation OF the party. In
short time the short gentleman
returned. Every mothers son Of
them was prompt in making tho
most rumble' analogy for their re-
marks. The honorable gentleman
graciously lorgave them. At the
same time lac said he was SO often
abused that he was used to il! Now
the best of the joke is that the short
gentleman, bright as he was, was
not John Bright, and it was tho
gentry who ate the ''umble' pic
who were not bright enough to keep
from being sold.

A WAY TO PAY THE NATIONAL. DEBT.
The Detroit Free Press recommends
the following as the best way to pay
the national debt and bring about
restoration and peace to the whole
country:
"Put the thieves out of Office. and
put honest men in. Retrench the
expenditures of the Government to
800, 600, 900. Cut the Freedmen's
Bureau swindle from the Treasu, Y.
and thus save millions to the people.
If the negroes are fit to vote, they
are competent to sustain them.
selves. Take the military forces
from the South, and muster them
out of service, and leave the people
there to reconstruct themselves, as
they were doing before Congress in
terfered, and put them further from
the Union than they were ever be-
fore. Cut off the myriads of para
sites now hanging upon the Treasury.
Retrench expenditures until the in
come largely exceeds the out-go. Ap-
ply the surplus to the payment of
the national debt, and tho whole
question Will he answered."

ANOTHER New
York Times says:
"It is pity that our English
cousins are so exercised in our be-
half, as to feel it necessary to depre-
cate renewal of the bloody scenes
of the rebellion. But SO it is, or
appears to be. A writer in the 1aon-
don Morning Post says: While it can
scarcely be believed that another war
is on the point of breaking out in
the United States, the observer of
events is strongly impressed with the
fact that the same symptoms of dis
content, anger and hatred which
foretold the convulsion of 1861 are
presenting themselves in 1857 and
the editorial article on American
affairs in the same journal speaks of
the possibility of 20 simultaneous
change for the worse in the Generals
who rule at the South, resulting in %
| desperate renewal of the civil wer. ,
This is puerile. Whatever may be
the state of the Southern morale
under the unfortunate alterations
and vascillations of policy which
have been imposed upon them, they
are as unequal as they are unwilling
to take part in renewed revolt of
arms. While, therefore, we set aside
all such forebodings, we turn with
pleasure to the remark of the writer
first quoted, vino, keenly observing,
but somewhat too believingly trust
ing, the signs of trouble that still
exist, says: Notwithstanding all this.
l do not despair Of the republic. ,
Undoubtedly, we have much yet to
do before we are safe from disturb
ance. Patience, and justice, and
common sense have hard road and
q long one yet before them, but the
republic has weathered too great q
gale to founder in the after swell"

COLUMBIA.
Wednesday Morning, Sept. IL. 1867.

Ono Impediment to decentralization.
A Richmond correspondent of the
New York Tribune states that even
Gen. Schofeld has to encounter some
difficulties in his administration-dif
ficulties that interpose serious bar
.'rier to reconstruction on the Con-
gressional basis. These difficulties
have been apparent from the begin
ming, and if they continue to exist,
it is stated will throw Virginia into
the hands of persons notoriously in
competent to manage public affairs.
One of the. most serious impedi-
ments to reconstruction in that State
is the '.iron-clad'' oath, which, but
few, except aliens and the colored
men, can take. The Commanding
General feels the baneful effect of
this restriction, and, it is stated, to
such an extent, as to force him to re-
tain in Office men disqualified, and
whom Ire would remove but for
the lack of competent parties capable
of taking the oath, to replace them.
Such is the case, particularly in Rich
mond, and it is conceded that the
State, under the iron-clad restriction,
must be governed either by the
blacks or Northern white men.
As in Virginia. so will it be- we ap-
prehend, in all the other Southern
States. Either the oath of 1862 will
have to be. modified, or all State of
fcials must .be chosen from those
who know nothing of our former
local laws, or from those who, from
ignorance and former habits and po-
sition, are utterly incompetent to as
sumo any official duty. Congress,
whether Intentionally or not, has
thrown very serious obstacle to car
rying out their own plan of recon-
struction all over the South.

YELLOW FEVER IN PENSACOLA.

YELLOW FEVER IN PENSACOLA -
Yellow fever in Pensacola is rather
increasing, the deaths averaging some
three or four per day. while numbers
are sick. Hundreds have fed from
the city, camping in the woods or
residing with friends in the country.
Fhe population has been reduced. to
about l, 200 souls.
The First National Bank, at Wash
ington, has withdrawn its adver-

The only offer of the bonds for sale
came from New York city. The
bankers proposed two dollars and q
half for every thousand.

A notice of the resumption of ex-
ercises of the Israelite Sunday School
will be fornd in another column
signed by Mrs. G. A. Levin and Mrs.
B. E. Levy. On seeing the name of
one of these ladies in this connection,
memory travels back fully quarter
of century, when, Us "Miss Boanna,"
she fully organized and successfully
carried on school of the same
character. Time passed; the mother
of the school married, and finally,
when home cares and duties required
her attention, turned over the direc-
tion Of the school to another. And
now, after the lapse of so many
years, this lady, as venerated.-but,
be it remembered, not venerable
grandmother, returns to her former
labor of love and usefulness, and is
now earnestly engaged in re-organiz-
ing and bringing the school up to its
former height of excellence. Old
friend, may you be spared many
years, and your present classes ac-
quire tie came degree of proficiency

ACAsE OF LErHARay.-A man

A CASE OF LETHARGY.-A man is
lying in the st. Jean Hospital, in
Turin in complete state of le-
thargy. He is quite insensible to the
pricks from needles, and the Asoles of
his feet are also without feeling.
Some shocks of electricity have alone
produced any affect upon him. He
is twenty-four years of age, md for
the last few days has lived on milk
passed through his nose into the
esophagus. 9' =
Vallandigham, in speech at Rip
ley, Ohio, declared that the time had
never been where there was too much
currency. Wasn't he in the Confede-
racy during the war, when an elephant
couldn't have carried the price in
notes of q diamond ring?
A Methodist brother recently had
occasion to preach discourse against
the doctrines of immersion, but
couldn't find the text until, with
great shrewdness and good sense,
he hit upon this: Beware of divers!

deal OF snap, that "were the devil to

there would be found fools to burnish
up the prongs of his tail and adorn

A STATE FOR THE FREEDMEN.-We
see it stated in the Pittsbnrg Com
naercidl, that in "Williamsviile, Cass
County, Michigan, there is a commu-
nifty of colored people who left their
masters at the South, in the days of
slavery, and sought home in the
North. They number about 1000.
M"ny Of them own good farms; they
have three good churches; they sup
port good schools, and some of their
young people are seeking an educa-
tion in higher seminaries and col
leges. During the war, the settle
ment furnished full proportion of
soldiers for the army of the Repnb-
lic."
Ii this statement be correct, wo
commend Michigan as State into
which the freedmen of the South
should emigrate with as little delay
as possible.
