nervous, making him enthusiastic as well as
exoitable. His manner is usually quiet and con
siderate. His movements show something OF
the age which his grey hair betOkens; but his
mind is as clear, If not clearer, than in the
days when 1t was more active. Now and then
he shows the old disposition to make mischie-
vous suggestions for the purpose of creating
sensation; but either he has an inkling that
the time for this trihing has gone by, or he
shares the liking of old men for quiet aud
freedom from excitement When he gathers
his writer's about him in the editorial rooms of
the Herald, his suggestions upon the questions
OF the day have more of seriousness than for
merly. If he has no private revenges to
crafty, or old scores to rake up, he seems
conscious that his interests, and those of his
journal and family, now depend upon the well
fare of the nation and upon the common
interests of mankind. He readily listens
TO those who have ideas to offer and
is willing that they should write what they
believe, provided always it be upon subjects
upon which he has no hobbies, or about indi-
viduals against whom he has no spite.
Towards the latter he is incorrigibly and Bit
terly revengeful to the last. The most silly
and stupid instructions concerning such per
sons are given to the attaches of the Office
Their names are not to be mentioned in the
paper, not even in the news columns If tbev
are public characters, for fear of advertising
them. Then the editorial columns are made
to reek with unsorupulous abuse of them.
This small warfare is carried on by others than
Bennett himself. The Herald has now, in
fact, like Cerberus triple head, and barks at
any one who dares to offend Bennett pere,
Bennett mere, or Bennett fills. Neither can see
apparently, that magnanimity becomes them;
and by putting 1t to such small uses they
themselves deprive their journal either Of
character or influence.
Bad repute is shoal from which it is diff
cult to rescue stranded character. Yet when
tides are up there is hope in trying. The
course of the Herald during the latter part of
the war (though its support of Mr.. Lincoln is
said to have been purchased by the offer of the
French mission), and its recent energetic and
mainly consistent course regarding reconstruc-
ton, show that it is capable of better things
than it has ever achieved. Were its proprie-
tor to measure himself by his opportunities,
instead Of belittling himself by reverting so
often to his former style of personal and mali
cious pickering, the world would willingly
cast the mantle of charity over the past, in
consideration of the good which might yet be
accomplished even by a septuagenarian.-

THE COTTON TAX.

One branch of Congress, in obedience to the al
most universal desire of the American people, ha!
repealed the Cotton tax. But this has been done
in a very unacceptable manner, to our people ateast
by making the exemptions from tax apply only tt
cotton raised after the first of January 1868. The
crop of this year, according to this arrangement
must bear the burden, although that was JUS
where the shoe pinched. The relief herein Offered
is similar to that received by man who, while il
the last stages Of cholera, is promised medicine
in month. In either case, if the patient car
survive the delay, the relief may be of some ser:
vice; but the chances are that he will be beyond
the reach of remedies, by that time.
There is, however, some reason to hope that the
remedy may yet be applied in time to save poor,
gasping old "King Cotton; - though We fear he will
never again be the stalwart parsonage he once was
in the markets of the world. The Senate has not
yet acted on the repeating bi and the indignation
excited in the whole country by the artful dodge
of the House, may cause the higher branch of the
National government to insist upon an amendment
afording immediate relief, before the bill is finally
passed. This hope, however, is only hope fol
the action of Congress is as hard to predict as that
of a petit jury.
But relief to cotton planters, temporary at least
is promised from another quarter, though it is al
the expense of others. The Fast Indies have re-
Gently suffered from severe hurricane, or series
hurricanes, which have injured theircrops and pro
ducing capacity, and consequently American cot
ton is advancing in price. Whether or not thu
relief obtained from this source will be permanent
remains to be seen. q

CONGRESSIONAL.

Mr.. Stevens asked leave, on the 3rd instant, to
introduce resolution with respect to census o.
the excluded States, which he terms conquered
territory" 1t was objected to and withdrawn
which indicates that Congress is not willing to ool
upon these States in that light but still regards
them as States, and of course, in the Union; fo
according to the Northern theory, States canno
exist out of the Union.
The Presidents message was read, and, by tn
House, referred to the Committee of the Whole
The document caused ferocious debate, both IL
the Senate and the House. Mr.. Howard though
it unworthy of publication, being libel on Con
gress and an invitation to the rebel States to resist
by violence, the reconstruction acts. SUMNER ant
others expressed similar views, WILSON complain
ing of the message as libel on the freedmen, il
declaring them unfit to vote. DRAKE offered 1
resolution that 'the President has transcended hi
constitutional powers in the language of his mes
sage referring to reconstruction, and asserting tina
the language used is derogatory to the dignity o
Congress, and a usurpation of their rights ane
privileges" 1t lies over.

ding that all cotton raised in the United States
after the year 1867, be exempt from tax. He ex

THE CONVENTION ELECTION.

Full returns have not yet been received, II
reference to the result of the late Convention cleo
ton in this State. We see no reason yet howev
er, to change the opinion expressed last week, tina
sufficient number of persons have voted to secure
the call of convention. The Washington cores
pondent of the New York Times writes as follows
on the subject:

plained that the tax was not taken off this year
CROP for thereason that one-ffth Of it was already
on the market, and very large portion of it had
passed from the hands of the producer, and that
growers would derive little benefit from the lmmu-
nifty, and be believed it would be impolitic and in
expedient. After two days debate and the rejec-
ton of several amendments and substitutes, this
bill was passed 1t now goes to the Senate.
The Secretary of the Treasury was called upon
for report of the amount Of government funds de-
posted with the National Banks.
A bill was passed by the Senate, striking the
word white" from the laws and ordinances OF the
District of Columbia. The vote on this bill was
strictly party vote, which shows that the late
Northern elections have had no efecton the minds
of Radical Senators.
A bill for the more efficient government OF the
excluded States, and bill to facilitate their res
toration to the Union, were offered in the House,
and referred to the Judiciary Committee. The
latter of these is especially intended for the benefit
of South Carolina, in case there were not enough
votes cast to ensure Convention in this State
1t provides that a majority Of those who vote, no
matter how few they may be, shall decide the
question of Convention or No Convention, In
any excluded State. Doubtless, if the majority
voted against the Convention, the next bill intro
duced would ordain that only those votes which
were in favor of it, should count.
Mr.. Boutwell, has opened fire on the lmpeach-
ment question; but his eloquence is employed
mainly in defending his report on that subject, not
in persuading Congress to impeach. The latest In
dicatons are that SO members favor Impeachment
and ITO opposeit.
In the House on nSaturday last, theimpeachment
question was resumed, with fillibustering, led by
Logan Finally, Mr.. Wilson Withdrawals motion
to table, and the vote was taken on the majority
resolution ordering impeachment, which was lost
by 81 to l0S. Absent 81. ......

How States are Reconstructed.

- The Radicals at Washington held a caucus
last week, at which the executive committee made
their report. They complacently report the "good
work" as going on gloriousy in all the States ex.
cept South Carolina, ard attribute the supposed
defeat of convention in this State to the short
time for electoneering and the few voting places.
They say they have distributed S55, 900 documents
during the campaign, which seems an extravagant
expenditure of paper, when it is remembered that
nine -tenths of their party cannot read. Perhaps,
however, they include tickets in the number OF
documents issued, in which case it is reasonable
enough.
The expenses are small, as the committee COL
lected only $4O 600 and yetthey carried ten States
over the opposition Of nearly all the intelligence
they contained. They anticipate harder task in
carrying the work of these conventions, when peo-
pie come to vote on them for they say o 'consid-
cradle amount Of money will be required" " The
services of twenty orators, white and black, are
also called for The duty of these gentlemen, we
presume will be to visit our principal cities and
get up rows, to prove the perverseness OF rebels
1t is hard to conceive what other object is to be
gained by their labor of love. They are too few to
make anything like an extensive canvass ofso many
States. The rural districts cannot possibly hope
to be favored with the thrilling eoquence Of these
apostles Demonstration These districts will have
to be content with its echoes which will doubtless
reyerberate from the seaboard to the mountains

DAN CAsTELLO's MENAGERIE LOOSE

The Mobile Neaos says: 'sAbout daybreak yes
terday morning, on the Mobile and Great North
ern Railroad, some thirty-six miles above Tensas,
portion of the train was thrown from the track,
resulting in the death of one man., MIR. Willis
Burroughs, driver of the band carriage, and the
woundng, more or less severely, of half dozen
others. Mr. Burroughs was from Owensville,
Kentucky.
The accident was caused by the breaking of a
rail. The engine, tender, and first three cars
passed safely over, but the two next, truck cars,
containing four cages, in which were the Royal
Bengal tgress the hyena, two BEARS and the tapir,
were thrown of, the cages smashed and the AMI
mails released The other box cars, containing
twenty-sx horses and ponies, shared the same mis-
fortune, the horses being piled together and upon
each other in utter confusion. Only one was killed,
however, and several others suffered contusions.
The animals released did no damage to each
other with the exception that one of the bears
killed fawn The tigress and one of the bears al
first manifested hostile disposition towards each
other; the bear assumed an upright position, and
stood upon his guard in regular fstiana style, and
when the striped beast came smelling about him,
a cuff or two was exchanged which seemed to sat
isfy both parties The bear amused himself by
ascending some of the neighboring trees, and the
tigress roamed about in the neighborhood, showing
no disposition, however, to go very far away They
were all re-caged without difficulty. ...G

Brownlow at Home.
"A correspondent Of the Charleston Courier,
who was in attendance on the meeting Of the Pres
byterian General Assembly, at Nashville, while
there, paid visit to the notorious W, 6. Brown
low, the Governor of Tennessee, and gives the fol,
lowing pen and ink sketch of the old reprobate
"Wc found him lying on his back on a lounge;
he is sick-could not rise to receive u.s. but asked
US to sit He is q man Of moderate size, with an
intelligent and mild face, and speaks pleasantly.
He has what they call ''the dead palsy, and shakes
all over and it is pitiable to see him. His friends
say it arises from bad treatment from the Confed,
crates while in prison in Knoxville. How this
is do not know, but it seems to me as if he was
smitten by God, and had the mark Of Cain set up,
on him. He told me he was suffering from acute
rheumatism And sorely as he oppresses the
Tennesseeans one thing is certain his own life is
one of pain and anguish. He is pale and sickly,
and cannot, / opine, much longer do harm. He
is sixtyive years old, and yet has not grey hair
He lives in the rooms assigned him in the capitol
and never leaves it to so anywhere; The people
here say he is afraid to come out, less some one
may shoot him, but I do not think So He is 50
feeble, and disturbed by locomotion, that ne finds
it best to stay in one place. His mind is said to be
as active and plotting as ever, and his sickness
does not seem to sanctfy, but exasperate him.
