Be PoLIrE.-No boy or girl ever loses any
thing by being polite and civil. Polite chill
dren are always beloved and respected: Be
rolite to all with whom you come in contact,
the rich, as we'll as the poor, ard never, under
any circumstances, fail to be polite and respect
full to the old. Be polite at home-to your
parents, and brothers, and s~lsters-fnr polite
ness must begin at home. The boy or girl who
is habitua'ly impo'ite at home, is apt to be
coarse and rude to strangers. 1t has been truly
rem srked, that "nothiDg sets so gracefully UPON
children, nothing makes them 50 lovely, as an
babltual respect and duitul department
towards their friends and superiors. 1t makes
the ~plainest face beautiful, apd ei"es to every
common action a nameless but peculiar charm. l"
THE RADICAL HIRELINGs.-The repor; made
to the Radical caucus at Washi' gton shows
ttat a hundred and seventy eight speakers have
been employed-pa to "or4anize bel in
the South +" While many Others have received
as istance from State commit: ees. This ac-
counts tor the manner in which the blacks have
voted at the recent ell ctions, and shows how
the existing aniasonism of races has been
brought about. Further effortS are to be made
to p~rustrate the whole Sourhb tore the jugger-
naut of Radicalism. -Lynch6urg Nrgtnian.

" RADICAL CAUCUs.-The contest for the
Chair being decided, it was generally conceded
that caucusses we're at an end for the present.
But no! And why? The model speech of
Lewis Lindsey on Wednesday, made under the
influence of mistaken spirit of Republicanism,
afforded the white patrons ofbis party the long
desired pretext for procuring the silence of the
colored members during the Convention. Ac-
c~ordingly, a caucus was held night before last,
at which i was kindly explained to the negro
members that they Were entirely unacquainted
with the proceedings of Legislative bodies, and
that they had much to learn in connection there
with. It. would, therefore be eminently proper
for them to keep quiet until they should &C
quire the necessary information both as to the
mode of procedure AMI the cause of their being
sent here. The negro members generally &C.
cepted this, and it was decided that they should
remain silent, at least Tor the present. Whether
or not they wil!-contrary to all precedent be
able to keep or be kept silent, remains to be
seen but certainly thus far they have been
quieter than could ever have been expected

The Impeachment Business.

There vas large attendance in the galleries
of the House of Representatives, yesterday, to
witness the proceedings on the impeachment
question. /
TIE Senate ~haviDga i%jouroed at an early hour,
a number OF the members Of that body repair
ed to the House and were among the listeners
to the speeches on the subject; and tie repeat
ed roll calls upon the motions TO adjourn, etc.,
on motions made by tie minority OF the Rad
ica's who favor impeachment, and who thus
sought to prevent an immediate vote. The
.motionsof Mr.. Wilson, Of Iowa, the Chairman
=of the Committee on the judiciary, to lay the
whole Subject on the table. had the effect of
thinning the galleries. Some of those who
favor Mr.. BoutwelPs report said they wanted
merely FIVE minutes each to give the reasons
why they thought the President should be i'm
peached, but this privilege the majority Of the
House denied. The minority therefore %contin-
uedtheir dilaloty motions, being in sufficient
force to demand the yeas and nays upon them.
This parliamentary warfare was continued dur
ing several hours, when the dlnnerless mem
bcrs, by a small majority, adjourned until to-
day, 1t which time the proceedings on the I'm
parchment question were to be resumed
The votes taken yesterday afford an index OF

indications yesterday there would be about
~ftty-fve votes in favor of impeachment and
one hundred and ten against 1.-THE latter in
Guiding those of the forty Democrats and up
wards Of fifteen more Radical votes against i'm
parchment than the number who support the
resolution of the..majority of the committee for
that purpose.

BATyRDAY EVENING, DECEMBER7

sssIn the Louisiana Reconstruction Convention
= resolution has, been adopted fixing the COM
sspsnsationz of members and employees of the
Convention and provides that compensation be-.
: gin from the date, o.. their. election or appoint
meRt. in discussing this resolution, a colored
member said they had beenslaves long enough,
and they now wanted to enjoy some of the lux
uries of freedmen. He said he wanted all the
money that could be got! In the same Con-
v~ention, resolutions have been referred to the
committees of that body which " propose fore
ing the whites to send their children to the
same schools with the negroes" To ensure
this, it is proposed to allow no private school
to be kept " without a license from the State
In the course of Mr.. Wilson's brief rejoindsr
to Mr.. Boutwell,, before moving to lay the
Impeachment business on the table, he re-
minded the gentleman from Massachusetts that
he Mi. Boutwell, had signed the report of the
Reconstruction Committee, asserting that 10
some of the matters on which he now claimed
impeachment the President had not been aetu,
,ated by wrong motives. AS to the surrender
Of property to Southern railroads be disposed
OF ill the argument on that point by showing
that it was done. not by the President, but by
Secretary Stanton, and from motives of great
public pofioy-to open the channels Of trade
and commerce.

In the French Corps Legislatit, yesterday,
NJ. Rouher made an able speech in defence OF
the policy of the Emperor's government On
the Roman question. He admitted thar a
united Italy was desirable, but to accomplish
it, it should never go to- the extreme Of taking
possession of Rome by force. At the c.ose Of
the debate NJ. Favvre's motion for Interpolation
of the Government in regard to Italian affairs
was rejected by the Chambers.
The London Times, in an editorial on the
correspondence on the Alabama Gains, says
Lord Stanley is right in refusing to permit the
foreign policy of England to be reviewed by
any foreign power whatever. On all other
points England will gladly meet the United
States halt way, as she is thoroughly tired OF
the discussion.
A session of the Italian Parliament was
opened yesterday. Prime Minister Menabrca,
in his speech on the occasion, justified the &C:
ton of the Government in arresting Garlbaldl

the temporal power to exist at Rome as 1t
would be for a foreign power to hold possession
of the city of Paris.
