TEMPERANCE SERMON U

A weak and wicked Congress.

OF the Congress that nearly doubled
the salaries of its members, and ordered
them back pay, and which manifested its
extravaganza and reeklessness in expend-
itures generally, the New York CONNER
eial ADVERTISED Rep thus speaks:
"Ere the presents sCongress.reassembles,
the evidence-conclusive and irresistible
will be furnished that the last Congress
vas the WORST and WEAKEST that ever
left its impress upon our country. The
day is not distant when every prominent
feature and almost every influential en-
actment of that Congress will be execra-
ted. Intuitively, however, it prepared
the only escape from the ruin it will have
caused, By the passage of Bankrupt
Law 81 81
The people, with folly that is almost
without parallel in history, reelected
nearly every member of that Congress,
pronounced by the Advertiser to be ssthe
worst and the weakest that ever left its
impress upon the country" 1t was a
thoroughly Radical Congress; and its
weakness aud badness have been trans
ferred to the present Congress. We'have
no doubt. in the fullness of time, every
prominent feature and almost every in
fuentiai enactment OF that Congress--the
military despotisin bill among the rest
will be execrated. Small minds and ma
lignant dispositions undertook to grapple
with, mold and direct great events. and
the result is an exhibition of imbecility
and wickedness never before witnessed in
our legislative halls. The misfortune is
that there is no way of averting the ruin
these Radical Congresses will have caus-
ed before they terminate their existence.
The country will have to suffer much be-
fore the day Of relief comes; as come it
will.-Cm. Eng.

The Mobile Riot.

Inc Mobile riot is an indication of the
future. 1t points the way events are
tending. Many such riots, many instan-
ces Of savage slaughter in Southern cities
must be the consequence Of the agitation
made by the Radical orators-attempt to
cram hateful political doctrine down the
throats of the Southern people; those at
tempts exciting to violent acts, mot the re-
spectacle people'of the Southern States,
but the secesh fire. brands, the penniless,
reckless remnants Of the Southern ar
mics, with nothing to lose, and natural
taste to crafty in tumult, bloodshed and
plunder. sx x X
It is easy for the North, quietly looking
on, spectators to the terrible struggle, to
see what must be the issue. We tie a
people down by military law-we tell
them that their States have no political
existence just now, that they are only free
to pursue the ordinary course Of business
and social life, and must leave the rest
alone. They acquiesce and go on as quiz
etly as heart could wish, eager only to be
Quiet grateful for rest from political tur-
moil and for the chance to cultivate their
fields. But, presto! before the ink of our
military laws is dry, we let loose on them
political emissaries, propagandists, agita-
tors, to start again that very political life
that we have said for the present must be
extinct. We show them that they may
lgo into politics as much as they like, il
they go on the right side, and we hint
broadly that we are ready to distribute
ISouthern lands freely to the class that
Twill bid highest for them in Republican
votes.
1t is useless to cover our eyes-we may
shut out the view, but the game goes on
What Wilson will do plausibly and
blandly, the Haywoods and Hunnicuts
will do extravagantly, savagely, andeyen
without decent attempt to cover bad
purpose. Even Judge Kelley puts forth
braggart invitations for some one to tread
lon the tail of his coat, and he twists the
United States army into convenient shil-
Ilalah with which to damage all heads thai
may come in his way in this fine faction
fight. No one at the North is deceived
by such fume-no one here listens with
respect to any mans declaration that he
will come with the whole United States
army behind him, if he cannot otherwise
ipump Republican doctrine into the oper
tears of the whole South. But these
things are heard differently at the places
where they are spoken. People who live
lin the track of Sherman's army know
what such q threat means-though per
Ehaps Judge Kelley does not; and the
Threat that is mere rhetoric to him is tt
them remembrance of horrible reality
land reawakes savage thoughts already
lsoothed into q half sleep by progressive
Reconstruction. Such phrases, also, arr
taken BY the blacks for positive promises
land through them irritate the white:
even more than when fresh from th'
mouth of the orator. Thus they star
bad passions, ifritate, annoy, excite evel
the best disposed people; and the wors
disposed people need only such pretexts

From the New York Times, (Rep.)]
Civil Rights.

The Civil Rights bill is giving rise to
many eccentricities, not to say absurdi-
ties, in the vast region subject to militia,
ry rule. Under the orders of the com
manding Generals, horse-railroad com
panies are compelled to carry negroes in
every car they enter, regardless, ofany
regulations which the companies may
have enacted for the guidance of their
own subordiBates., That is to say, their
military edict has gone forth that the
companies shall 20 longer manage their
own business in their own way. AT
Norfolk, again, the captain Of ferry
boat has been arrested on the Mayors
warrant for excluding colored woman
from the white woman's cabin. Public
opinion at the North will undoubtedly
say that the exclusiveness born Of the
old system of Slavery. which this Cap
tain would perpetuate, must die with
slavery ITSELF But the query ar
ises.-Is this interference with the de-
tails of steamboat or horse-car manage
ment essential to the vindication of the
principal of equality irrespective of col
or, which the Civil Rights Act is inten-
ded to establish? IF General may set
aside the regulations of railroad COM
panies, and a Mayor the regulations Of
steamboats,, what is to hinder the extern
sions of their authority to hotels and
their management? And if a military or
civil functionary may compel the pro-
prietor of the st. Charles, New Orleans,
to throw open his parlors and chambers
to travelling negroes, under the pretense
of carrying out the Civil Rights bill,
may not meother functionary, civil OF
unciyil, compel the lessees of the Fifth
Avenue and Clarendon Hotels in this
city to assign their bridal chambers to
the FIRST colored couples that may feel
ambitious of the distinction. Clearly,
the hotels are as much subject to gener-
ais and mayors as railroads or steamboats,
and the law which confsrs jurisdiction
over Southern hotels in the interest Of
the negroes, also applies to hotels at the
North. The law recognizes no discrlm-
ination on account Of locality, aud our
city hotels may therefore be on the look
out for test case before the summer
ends. .sests - -

How to shear sheep.


First have two pairs of good shears;
one pair to trim with and the other to do.
the principal work, and never use duh
shears. A good oil stone is the best
sharpener. What are termed down-set
shears, with blades i've inches long, We
consider the best. In using them, never
draw the shears backward while making
the clip, but rather push forward and
keep the shears level and close, and never
clip twice in one spot, as that cuts the.
wool.
To hold the sheep, have bench as
high as the lower part of the knee-cap;
or, if the sheep is large. it may be lower.
Lay the Sleeps back to you, with head
| to your right hand Put your right
knee gently on the Sleeps back, with Its
right fore leg in the bend Of yours as you
kneel, having the sheep close to the edge
Of the bench, with its back braced against
your left leg. Rest your right arm on
the Sleeps left flank, while you hold its
right hind leg in that hand, stretched out
to the edge Of the bench, and holding to
tiff you wish, if the sheep is disposed
to struggle.
Commence shearing at the opening on
the left side Of the breast, and trim of
all-the wool on the belly and inside Of the
hind legs, and remove it to one side till
the fleece is of, when the trimmings oil
clean wool are to be wrapped in it.
To shear the body, place your left leg
on the bench astride of the sheep, taking
the jaws in your left hand, and clipping
the fore top and right side Of the neck,
land down on the left breast. Then you
change position, stepping back little
and raising the sheep on its hips, by
catching hold Of the left hind leg with
your right hand without laying down the
shears. Pull the sheep close toethe edge
of the bench and place your right leg
between its hind legs, with its neck and
shoulders on your left knee, as itrests on
the bench.
Now clip over the pointof the shoul-
der, and then straighten the neck with
your left hand, without stopping the
shears, and finish off the brisket and the
neck, and then clip down the eside, and
lover the hip and back, letting the sheer
down gradually, so as to always have the
skin you are clipping free from wrinkles
| Now take your left knee off the neck
and hold it with your left hand while you
remove your right leg and place the ief
one to its pla ce, SO that you can bring
j the right knee upon the bench, keeping
| the shears going all the time with th,
right hand. Then lift the head with tn,
left hand ,and clip that side over the poin
i of the shoulder, and raising the sheel
gently, bring its head between your legs
while you finish clipping.
II Take care that the sheep does no
Istruggle, and when done lift it clear 0
i the fleece, SO as not to tear it. Fold the
fleece with all the loose wool that is clear
J inside, and roll It very snug, with the Gu
end of the wool out, and tie with cottol
/ twine, so as to look neat and bear hand
ling without getting loose and ragged.
:. Following the above directions, yo1
will need to stop but twice for momen
to turn the sheep, SO that the shears ar
almost necessarily clipping from the tim

The Release of JEFFERSON Davis
