The Beast siynalizad his .Syopt /;

The Beast signalized his advent into Con-
gress by fierce onslaught on Bingham, of
Ohio. Bingham came up to the scratch
handsomely, and went back on Butler by
charging him with having voted ffy- seven
times for JEFF Davis in the Charleston Con
vention, and haunting him with the Fort
Fisher affair Batter sho. out his right and
"caught" Bingham heavily on the head, by
saying that the only achievement of which be
(Bingham) could boast was his participation
in the trial and execution Of an irnocen,
~oman-Mss. surratt! This brought the
Chic champion to his knees, bu. he soon
rallied, and, amid hearty cheers from bis
"corner,' let fly two or three strais from
the shoulder, which nearly sent the Beast to
grass, while the cries Of "foul' from the
floor, aud give EN- h--ll" from the CALLER
les, invested the scene with all the charac-
teristics of the regular 2. Il. The fight is
being renewed from day TO day, and is bring
ing to the surface much OF the meanness
and nastiness of the black republican party
Such scenes as those now being enacted by
these leaders Of radicalism, are nothing bet
ter than could be expected from a party
which honors and applauds tho acts and say
'nss OF thief and proasate, bu, they arc
disgrace to our civilization, and cannot but
bring our country into further disrepute in
the minds of all enlightened nations. A
people who honor such men as Butler the
Beast, certainly deserve no consideration
from those who regard honor and honesty as
essential attributes in the representatives of
an intelligent people.

The GENITAL SYsTEM.-We reproduce the
following rules prepared by the Detroit Post,
by which buyers and sellers can make their
own calculations without the aid of tables
The standard weight of wheat per bo.heI
is 60 pounds; corn and rye, 81 pounds; oats,
80 pounds; barley, 4S pounds. The price
per bushel being given, to find the price per
GENITAL multiply the price per bushel by 100,
aud divide by the number of p unds IN a
bushel. For instance: A, 81 so per busbsl
for wheat, what IS the price per GENITAL p
l50xl00 - Is, 0OOxGO-$ $3.50 which ia the
price per GENITAL. Again: the price per Gen.
tai by the number Of pounds in hushel and
divide BY 100. Example: AT - so per cen
tai, what is the price per bushel of 60 pounds
-250xG0-15, 0O0xlC0 81 so, the price per
bushel. The above rule is 30 simple and
easy that people will soon become accustum~
ed to the new method.

How Will the Negro Vote.

A solution Of the much mooted question:
"How will the negro vote ?'--wil be fur
nished as soon as the military reconstruction
law is put in full operation in the South, and
if reports frc m that section are reliable, the
position which Sambo will take in politics
will be very dis,aste(ul to the radicals, and
will tend in great measure to abate their
admiration for the long>heeled patriot We
have reports, which cannot however he re-
garded as authentic iuasnuch as they come
through radical sources, that in the South

in enthusiasm for the political ideas Of biz

will dare the approbrium OF being called

In some sections Of the South the negroes
are already circulating petitions to which
are attached numerous crosses aud queer

natures, praying that the diafranctis rebels
may be restored to their political rights, tina,
they may receive at the ballot box the sup
port Of their late chatteIs. This disposition
on the part Of the freedmen is causing a
great deal Of unsasiness among the radca
of the North They have lahored long and
fought valiantly (by proxy to add to their
party the voting strength Of race which
they hoped and firmly believed would be a
willing and permanent devotee of fanata-
cism; and 1t is 10 be expected and quite
natural that they should exhibit evidences Of
grief and disappointment when they see on
the part of the political element Of their own
creation disposition to vote with and for
the rebels. The fact is, the negroes have
more sense than the radicals give them
credit for. They know and correctly appre-
eiate the character Of such enegades as
Parson Rrownow, Jack Hamilton, etc, and
when the choice lies between them aud their

manifestations were made; thumps gwen
musical instruments were played, ana an
gelc kisses were received. But, says the
local paper, Tin the midst OF the heavenly
music three or four matches were suddenly
lighted, and what a revelation was made
There was Church, the medium, in the midst
of the room with the accordion. During
the singing he had quietly slipped the corus
with which he had been bound. Upon TINS
expose he pretended to DO in trance, but
suddenly bolled for the front door. HIS
dupes looked dumbfounded. One gentle
man, who had been grossly imposed upon,
threatened the life OF the humbug. But
compromise was effected. The money was
restored to the visitors, and Jenkins and
Church placed in the station house. They

with our friends who have been so frequent
