ORIGIN OF THE EP1rHEr "TURNcoAEn-The op.
probrlous term Of turncoat" took its rise from one
Of the first dukes of Savoy, whose domnions lying
open to the incursions of the contending houses OF
fall in with that power that most likely 70 distress
him, according to the success of their armies against
one another. So being frequently obliged to change
sides, he humoroasly got coat made that was blue
on one side and white on the other and might be M

interest he wore the blue side out and the white sdo
was the badge for the French. From Whence ae Sas

MEETING OF THE Hr1nss OF r1n IN

MEETING OF THE HEIRS OF TIE In
GRAHAM ESTATE. An interesting
meeting was held at the sAstor House
to-day. In room No. Id were assem-
bled over two hundred persons, ga
thered from all parts of the country,
including male and female, old and
young, who believe that they are
lawful heirs of the great Ingraham
estate, ut Leeds, England, and which
is said to belong to persons living in
tho United States.
This property is of immense value,
comprising as it does large part of
the ground upon which the thriving
city of Leeds is built. The sum
named in connection with this pro-
perty would nearly pay one-half of
the debt of the United States-if it
could be obtained.
The most singular feature in con-
nection with this case, is the fact that
1T is said the present occupants of the
property known Us the Ingraham es-
tate, are not only willing but anxious
to pay the lawful heirs for the same,
thus securing clear title to the

OF erial navigation has been recently
revived. One of our citizens, who
has devoted years of patient study to
the subject, has perfected q plan by
which he proposes to travel with
mails and passengers from Washing

theory has met the appreciation of
all the scientific and practical men
who have examined it. He is no
dreamer or enthusiast, but has ar
rived at conclusions after patient in
vestigation and laborious study and
experiment. All that he needs for q
practical illustration of his invention
is means. TO this he invites enter
prising capitalists. Any communica-
ton on the subject will be submitted

in that town on the preceding Fri

then severed his head from his body.

AfEatrs nc the soutI,.

The New York Times, of Tuesday,
has the following:
gsA Southern paper publishes q po-
litical catechism, which, we are told,
is copied from document that "was
obtained from freedman, who SAYS
that a negro is hired to go through
the country, with a valise filled with
them, to distribute among the freed
men," Our Southern contemporary
says that s.for wicked mendacitv and
cold sblooded atrocity, this document
stands without parallel in party
warfare" Finding it spoken of in
this way, we set to work and carefully
examined the catechism throughout,
and we confess we found no ground
for using such language as this about
1T. The following are specimens of
the dialogue:
Question With which party should
ithe colored man vote?
TX Answer-The Union Republican
party.
Q.-To what party. do the white
people of the South belong?
A.rThe larger portion belong to
W
Q.-To what party do the leading
colored men belong?
A.-Without exception, they be-
long to the Republican party.
p Q.-Is Mr.. Summer Republican? :?
Ale is, and radical; so, are
Thad. Stevens, Senator Wilson, Judge
Z Kelley, Gen. Butler, Speaker Colfax,
Chief Justice Chase, and all other
men who favor giving colored men
their rights.
In dialogue Of this sort, the main
principles of the two political parties
are described to the poor blacks; and
we must say that the statements in
general are correct enough Some of
them, it is true, are silly and foolish;
Others are ludicrous and ridiculous; !;
and there is just shadow of an at.
tempt to make the blacks believe that
they must organize in political party
opposed to their late masters. This
last feature is exceedingly wrong,
Z and fraught with danger to blacks
and whites alike; but we are pleased
to see that the Southern paper which
publishes and denounces the cate
chism, does something better also, in
attempting by reason to show the
blacks where their real interests lie.
This is the true way for the educated
classes of the South to counteract
what they consider political heresy.
