snch an outcome as this from their Recon
truction experiment, and they will manage,
if possible, TO make the Reconstruction law
equally abortive in every State. Their pol
icy is to divide the two races and disgust
the whites, and their means are well selec-
ted for this end. They can easily puff up
the negroes with insolence and fill the
whites with resentment; and they calculate
that they have only to exasperate the
South to high pitch of indignation to
render the Reconstruction act abortive.
The Republicans feel that they cannot
afford to have the Reconstruction act sue
ceed Itwould bring into Congress, at the
next session, Conservative members enough
to restore efficiency to the veto and prevent
the possibility of impeachment 1t would
render the success of Radicals doubtful if
three candidates should he run and the
Presidential election should go into the
House. 1t would render abortive the con-
templated joint resolution declaring that
the Southern electoral votes shall not be
counted, by enabling the veto to kill it
The immediate restoration of tn South
would be the destruction of the Republican
party. Hence the great counter crusade
against the Reconstruction act, organized
by the Republican National Committee.

REGISTRATION OF COLORED VOTERS IN
New ORLEANs.-T New Orleans cores
pondent of the Louisville Courier gets off
the following:
The registering of voters under the mill
tary bill is progressing rapidly-the negroes
ceeding the whites. The scene of register
ing is rich and funny. Two ranks are
formed outside of the Registers office,
principally of darkies of every grade, inter
spersed here and there by a few white men.
The following is the process Of making
voters, or comforting the franchise on the
eolored citizens of African descent:
Register-What is your name?
Colored Citizen-My name is Caesar,
boss.
Register-What is your other name?
Colored CitiZen-Wcll, boss, dey dldn' t

WHAT BEEcHER SAYs.-The Reverend
HENRY WARD BEEcER cannot rest easy in
the position to which, in his second letter
on the Philadelphia convention, he was
weak enough to lower himself In recent
sermon he thus handsomely dashed the cor
ruptionists Of his party:
"The men at Washington and Albany
sold their country they sold their human
ity and their honor and the trusts that were
put upon them by their constituents. They
were debauchers of the young; thew were
traitors they that lifted the sword were
not half so much traitors; they that de-
spoiled the old banner and trod it under
foot; they that fred upon the Government
OF The United States were not so much
traitors as were those vermin who were
crawling under the foundations and destroy
ing By corruptions the vital powers Of the
Government.

p" Playing Doctor. "
From the Waterman and Reflector,

From the Waterman and Reflector,
We ask the pardon of the medicals"
tor relating the following suggestive anec-
dote, at the same time we invite fathers and
mothers to g make note of it,"
Harry was the son of physician, and
often amused himself by playing doctor,
compromising his powders and pills out of
the sand and gravel Of the garden. One
day, while thus engaged, large toad hop
ped near him, and seating itself leisurely
upon It's launches, proceeded to open and
shut its mouth as if inviting the doctors
attention. 1t was catching flies.
Good morning, Mr.. Toad" said Har-
~, delighted at the idea of having 1.-Two
patient. Come to be doctored? Got tho
dropsy, perhaps?'
Mr. Toad winked and gulped, as much
as to say, Yes, sir, very bad.
" Yes, yes, | understand your case 'zact-
ly. You just please wait minute, and Iii
cure you double quick"
Now it happened that Harry had seen
his father prepare some compound rhubarb
pills that morning, and it occurred to him
that here was favorable opportunity to
try their efficacy. In less time than it takes
to write it, the aspiring young doctor Sc
cured one of the pills and dropped it into
the open mouth of the patient.
" Guess I've fixed you now," soliloqui-
zed the doctor, When l cures. cures,
and when don't cures, kills.
Mr.. Toad gulped and swallowed, and be-
gan to bloat, and boat, until Harry thought
he must be the very frog alluded to in his
reader. that tried to Guido the OK. A mo-
ment more, and the poor patient turned
livid purple, gave one last gasp and sx-
pired. His fy-catchng days had ended.
The doctor had killed him
Harry buried his patient with grave
face, and sat down to mediate upon tho
virtue of compound rhubarb pills What
ever was his condition afterwards, he could
with difficulty be persuaded to take any Of
his father medicines, always Directing on
the plea, a." they killed the toad"

A BASE WRETCH The Fenian Genera
MASSEY, who turned Queens evidence at
the late Dublin trials, seem to have COM
bined more Of cowardice, meanness and
treachery than any man since JUDAS IscAR-
lot. Having deserted from the British
army. he entered the Confederate service
as private, and finally became a Colonel
Of Texas regiment. After the war he
failed in business as commercial drum
mer, and having engaged in the Fenan
enterprise, raised large amount of money
for the cause and went with it to ireland.
He was there apprehended as a Fenian
and a rebel, and when arrested swooned
away from sheer terror, but recovered in
time to sell his soul and the lives of his
comrades for British gold.

The Release of jeff. Davis as a Recon.
struction Measure.
From the Richmond Wing, May IA.

From the Richmond Wing, May Ia.
The generous course pursued toward Mr..
Davis yesterday, inspired no doubt by wiser
heads and more humane hearts than the
official Immediately connected with the case
can lay claim to, was one of the most effect
i've reconstruction steps yet taken. 1t was
indeed stride in that direction. But the
legal action taken was not all that we feel
called upon to notice. That action was
accompanied and embellished by circum-
stances of courtesy and cordial generosity
from northern and republican gentlemen of
distinction and influence, which will go far
to commend them to the grateful consi1era
ton of the South. They joined our own
Virginians in both bail bonds and congratu-
lations. In so doing they illustrated their
magnaLimity and in one moment levelled
barriers that might otherwise have re-
manned for years. The effect OF yesterday S
work will be felt and shown throughout the
South or We mistake Southern character
Let US all show that Northern generosity is
the true avenue TO Southern friendship.
We repeat, a great stride was yesterday
taken in the line of reconstruction.

IMPORTANT DEcTsIoN.-At the Circuit
Court here last week decision was rem
dered that chapter ll2 Of the general laws
OF the last Legislature was unconstitutional.
This act provides that, From and after
six years from the day of sale of any lands
Or il IS heretofo sold or hereafter to be sold
for the non payment of taxes by any officer
of any county, city or village, no deed shall
be issued IN the certificate or certificates of
sale issued on such a sale, and no action
either at law or equity shall be commenced
on such certificate after the expiration of
six years from the said day Of sale But
the Court held that the Legislature had no
authority to enact that such certificates were
outlawed, and, without notice, make them
worthless to the der.--HauSton, Juneau

ENGLAND SELLING HER NAyY.-Eng-
land is selling those wooden walls" that
were once her glory. Five line of battle
ships and FIVE first class frigates were sold
recently for $4,000 these ten ships have
an aggregate tonnage Of "a 306, an aggre-
gate nominal horse power of 4.OlO, and an
average age of about - years only; the
boilers and machinery of most of them is
in sea going order; indeed, one so gun
ship has never used her engines. These
vessels originally cost, including expense of
placing new machinery in some of them,
$50, 100000, and the actual value of the
timber and metals in them at the time that
they were sold was $67l, $50, yet they were
sold for almost half that sum. England
knows that iron-clads alone can compete
with the navies Of other nations, and she
values her wooden ships as next to nothing.

THE WOES OF HIGH LIFE-One of the
wealthiest and ablest lawyers in New York
has instituted suit for divorce from his
wife who is one of the most noted women,
for beauty and mplishments, lin the
city The suit is based on ''inhuman con-
duct to the gentleman's mother. 1t
seems that the husband left his residence
on discovering guilt on the part of his wife;
during his absence his mother. who is very
old and feeble, demonstrated with the wife
on her conduct, whereupen the beautiful
and accomplished flew at her with the
fury of tigress, and beat her nearly to
death. Only the interference of the neigh
bors saved her from being murdered The
assaiant was arrested and confined in the
Tombs to await the result of the old lady s
injuries.
