that every girl will become a perfect

My heart echoed the sentiment Of Mrs.
Gray, but just then, tea was annouced,
and as the conversation became general
on other topics, | did not express any
views.
On the ensuing Sabbath, Aunt Hetty
was punctually in her seat, which CON-
manded good view Of the aisle, and the
parsonage pew. Soon her attention was
attracted in that direction; on looking up
saw Mary Evarts, my old friend, the
mingled sweetness. grace and dignity,
with which she took her seat, and bowed
her head in silent prayer, affected me
deeply; it brought to mind early days,
when ] was wayward and thoughtless

me from the ways of skepticism and inf.

seek the trtfo religion of Christ. I no.
ticcd Hetty's face had troubled look,
she seemed striving to keep up the old
feeling of hostility, but was evidently i'll
at ease. had reason to hope she was
enjoying some compunctions of conscience.
Old Mrs. Waters face wore satisfied

position. %

heated without extra fuel or without using the
top of the stove with boiler for that purpose!

The Foe Within.

From a statement recently made by Mr.
Sumner in the Senate, we are apprized
that foe, far more dangerous than the
savages that are menacing US III the W est
is threatening us at present at home
namely, the returned rebels who have op-
tanned control of the States of Maryland
and Kentucky. Cries of distress, 1t ap-
pears. are daily coming up 10 Congress
from the devoted loyalists of these States,
particularly from Maryland, begging that
they may be left no longer at the mercy
of their rebel foes. 1t is true 40 particu-
lar case of rebel oppression is instanced'
but will it be gainsayed, asks Mr.. Sum
ner. that it is the intention of these mala-
factors to continue to control our dlstrcs-
sed friends in this abominable State ? But
Yesterday, letter was received from our
late honored associate, Senator CreSWeii'
which states in effect, that the rebels are
still rampant 10 Mary land and have no
idea of giving up the positions to when
they have been elected until they have
been voted out of office Can arrogance
and rebelism 90 further than this Mon
strons most monstrous The only hope
for our distressed brethren III Maryland is
in negro suffrage. and the only hope for
negro suffrage is in the passage of my sui

t;on has absuredly left it, with the States
themselves. and al is lost Such patriots
as Creswell and Bond and Chapman and
McPhail will be compelled to sell out at n
discount and buy elsewhere at premium
Mr. Sumner continued at great length III
this strain, but it does not appear that he
succeeded in melting any body. Fessen-
den WAS iuexorable, and the Senate passed
to the order of the day, leaving Sumner

The Supplemental Tyranny.

We had ina gined that when the recon-
structlon acts, with the 23rd OF Aarch
supplement-. bad been passed, the lowest
depths of tyranny had been reached aud
tba. auy change in the way of congresslon-
al reconstruction must be upward and for
the better. 10 this we have been greatly
mistaken. There is still. it seems, a lower
deptb Russian despotism had been at
.aiped BIZ the original acts, but the recent
proposed supplement caps the climax, and
it il now better and and more tolerable for
Poland and Siberia than for the Southern
States of this Union. The first section
of this supplement. declares it to have been
the true intent and meaning of the ori-
ginal acts of reconstruction, that the pro-
visional governments, created by the peo-
pie Immediately upon the close OF the
war, were illegal and void and that they
were to be continued subject IN all re-
snects to the military commanders and
the authority of Congress. That this Is a
wretcbed af,erthouoht, as we'll as bra
zen falsehopd, will be evident to any
man who will take the trouble to read
the original act and compare it with the
present supplement. The truth is the
radical managers in Congress pever IN
tended the original act to be hnallty'
unless it would operate to keep the South
ern States out of the Union until ai'er
the presidential. election or unless 1T would
rive them an assured control of the votes
Of these States. Finding that the South
ern States were organizing in good faith
under the original act, and that not
withstanding its exclusive and proscFlp-
tive features. the conservatives would OBJ
tain control in these States, the radicals
determined upon further policy OF OBJ
struction to restoration, and hence the
present supplement. 1tprofcsses to be an
explanatory act merely, but it is in reall-
ty a new bill, containing many original
features of its own and changing, radically,
much of the plain intent and meaning OF
the original acts. But we have not
space sufficient in our present issue to GO
into details in regard to the distinctive
features of this bil!-sufico it, that it
outstrips in malgnity and oppression all
previous efforts in the way of Congress
sional tyranny and abolishes all of munl-
cipal law and civil authority which the
original acts had left to the South

Public Meeting held at Motley Hall Hill,
Oaptico District, St. Mary's County,
Nd, July 11h, 1867.
Ia pursuance to an authorized notice
from the Commissioners appointed to de-
termine the necessity of reopening the
"Old Road from the foot of Motley Hall
Hill to Mrs. Burchs Gate, on tho present
Public Road to Plowden's Wharf, large
number of the citizens of Chaptico District
assembled to express their views and wishes
to the Commissioners. The assemblsge
waited with courteous patience until eleven
o'clock, when it became generally known
that the Comm ssioners. from some cause,
would fail to keep their appointment,
whereupon, on motion of DR.. ). K. L.
Reeves, it was moved and seconded, that
the large party present should resolve It
self into meeting, and MIR. John Par
sons was nominated chairman, and Capt.
A. J.. Taveau appointed Secretary.
The meeting being called to order, the
chairman expressed bis regrets at the ab-
sence of the Commissioners, and recon-
mended that the meeting should take such
steps ss in its Judgment would further its
object.
Cot. Efmund J Plowden here moved,
and was seconded, that a committee of
seven be appointed to draft a such resolu-
tons as the occasion might require. The
chair appointed DR.. j: r. I. Reeves,
Messrs C r. Garner, George Maddox,
Wm. 4. Kirk, Vhos y. Hayden. g. 5.

mittce to draft resolutions.
The committee, after retiring few mo-
ments returned, aud the ehafr read the re-
port as follows =
Whereas, this meeting having assem-
blcd here for the purpose of expressing to
the Commissioners that it Is their tuli de-
sire, AMI intent, that the Otd Roat from
the foot of Motley Hall Hill, to Mrs
Burch's Gate on the present Public Road
to Plowden's Wharf, is not only conve-
nienco, but an absolute public necessity,
and should be speedily re-opened.
Rcsdred That, as the Commissioners
have failed to appear according to appoint
mcnt, cony of the proceedings of this
meeting, and this Preamble and Resolu-
ton 5c forwarded to each of them, as an
earnest indication of the wish and sense of
this community, generally, that the atore-
said Road be opened without delay
1t being put before the meeting by the
chair, this report was unanimously car,
ried Mr.. VIM. A. Kirk then moved
and was seconded that the gentlemen pres

the causes for the non-exchange of these
prisoners brought up for discussion i? The
eyiderce in this business is matter OF re-
cord and is easible attainable. Both Grant
and Stanton could tell why the humane
efforts Of the Confederate authorities TO
bring about an exchange, which would
have released the captive prisoners on
both sides and have saved all the
suffering at Andersonville and elsewhere,
were rejected at Washington. The coun-
try has been surfeitcd with the stories OF
the Andersonyille suffering The subject
upon which it wants light is as to whom
responsibility attaches for the non exchange
Of prisoners But were there no sutferlngs

revealed in this connection which will as

the lying story of the man upon she lion 5

able to speak for himself, and then We
shall all lesrn whether Point Lookout

do not present scenes of horror comparable
to the worst that have been invented about
