The following concluding paragraph of
Mr.. Broomalps speech probably expresses
the views of large majority of the Repub-
ican members:
If the loyal men of the South ask the dis
franchisement of every Rebel, they have
right to require that at our hands, and /, for
one, will grant it to them, SO far as my vote
goes. No loyal man, of any race or color,
should be subjected to the rule of the dis
loyal without his consent. A thorough REM
edy for the evil in all localities by the gener-
al law is probably impracticable at the pres
emit time. &s ~ i@
IF there is any significance in the late
verdict of the people-the tribunal of final
resort upon political question-it is that
the civil authorities shall not surrender to the
Rebels all that which was gained by arms at
so much cost of blood and treasure, and up
on so many battleields that the Government
dare not, in the the face of the nations of
the world, desert its allies in the South, of
whatever caste nor make peace with
the enemy, except upon terms satisfac-
tory to them, and, finally, that treason is obi
Gus, and though it may be pardoned by the
Executive, it is civil treason, and as such
shall never be allowed to disgrace any Off
cial position, State or National, and the man
who undertakes to stay execution Of judg-
ment upon this verdict had better ask the
history of his country in mercy to omit bis
name from its pages"

Two Women Living in the Woods.
The LOUISVILLE KY, Courier (11th) gives the
fo,lowino picture of restitution of the lower
classes in that city:
We have not, it says, for several years past,
heard of case that showed as plainly ene
amount of destitution now existing among
the poor of our city and the South IN gen
eral-as that which came to our ears yester-
day. A philanthropic gentleman, VINO re-
sides in the lower part OF the city, was on
his way out in the country yesterday alter-
noon on the old Salt River road, during the
driving snow storm, when he discovered
woman crossing the fence into wood pas
ture inst outside the city limits. She was
thinly clad, shivering in the cruel blast, and
cave evidence of severe restitution and hard
living Not seeing any house near, he won
fdered to himself where the woman was go
ing; and calling her, questioned her as TO
the cause of her being out in the storm. She
replied by evasive answers, but on his ques-
tionine her more closely she told him that
she lived with another woman IN an ola mol
low tree in the pasture, and had been staying
there for over four months past. Inc gen
tleman hitched his horse and proceeded to
where the woman designatedher miserable re-
treat to be, and there, wrapped up in some
old army blankets, he discovered the other
woman, sleeping in the hollow of the tree,
sheltered by some old pieces of board and
bark, He Weakened the unfortunate woman
and asked her her name; she gave 1t as
Jane Hutton. The woman he first met gave
her name as Eliza Harris. They said they
were from Cross Keys, near Atlanta, Georgia,
and had come up to this city some months
ago seeking honorable employment, but had
failed in their efforts, and had been, since
that time, earning livelihood by gathering
shucks, doing washing, &C., meeting misfor-
tune with heroism worthy of the noblest
of women. The gentleman who found them
soon made their case known to the people OF
that vicinity, and, in few hours, the poor
women were taken from their uncomfortable
refuge and well provided for. This is but
one instance illustrative of the suffering
among the poorer classes, yet several Others
have come to our ears of late, who, notwith-
standing the close and searching efforts OF
our relief committees, are still in need.

Who Represent the People.

The present English Parliament is proba-
bly, the most liberal ever returned. An En-
glish journal says that of the entire number,
65S, here are 1876 peers, heirs of peerage,
brothers and near relatives of peers, besides
those connected with the peerage by mar
rage; 81 baronets, 1O5 military officers of
the regulars, yeomanry and volunteers II
naval officers, 100 lawyers, 2 surgeons, ar
chitect, 4 civil engineers, 3 newspaper edi
tors, 10 authors, 1 publisher, Z bank editors
z private bankers directors, private bank
ers, capitalists, 8 iron-masters, 4 contrac-
tors, II manufacturers, 40 merchants, bre-
wers, shipbuilder, stock broker,1 house
agent, and only tenant farmer.
The interests of the aristocracy are repre-
scented by 1872 votes; those of the military
by 224, while of the 242 commoners proper
100 are lawyers. tfEH
A partial classification of the Congress
now in session shows that it contains, oflaw-
yers, 112 merchants, 8; farmers, G.; manu-
facturers, g. bankers, 5; editors, A.; physi-
clans, 2; clergyman, teacher, professor,
printer, lumberman. These figures do
not give the occupations of all our represen-
tatives, but they are sufficiently full to show
that the legal profession takes as large a
part in politics with US as with the English.
There are eleven gentlemen in the present
House of Representatives who have been cler-

An Arkansas Editor ON the Death OF
Lincoln.

Lincoln.
MIR. John Ryan, editor of thee Southern
psndicatOr, Pine Bluff, Arkansas, SAYS:
:" am not inclined to be an assassin. but if
to destroy tyrant is assassination then I
would destroy the tyrant.
And it has been proved President Lincoln
was the selected head and voluntary servant
OF the Radicals, who proposed the destruc
ton of the South, and in measure succeed.
ed in their helllsh designs.
l was opposed to and fought against Lin
coin and his tyrants, and ever will.
When the news of. his death reached me
rejoiced.
When learned that a man who never iden-
titled himself with the Confederate cause
struck the tyrant low, I thanked God that
ne had selected an instrument from the heart
OF Radicalism, right under the tyrant's guns,
TO deprive America of Radical tool.
And when | laid down my arms after a
bloody struggle for independence, thanked
God, from the fulness' of my heart, that
Abraham Lincoln did not live to mock cur

He deserves credit for but one thing-his
frankness. He has said what thousands of
his fellow traitors think, and what they will
say publicly at no, distant day, if " treason
should not be made odiousn by the action Of

CoNsIsTENCY.-The Memphis Ara1anche
says that some Southern people who were SO
Independent as to declare that they did not
want to live in the same town with Federal
officials and yankees, have sent their daugh-
tiers to the North to be educated polished |!
And this while there are so many excellent
female schools and colleges here in the
South That's consistency according to hy-
pocrisy and humbuggery.
The remark of the Aualanche reminds us
that soon after the war closed there was a
small class of southern men who pretended
to be unwilling to agree to anything where
by the northern and southern people might
again be brought together in friendly and So
cial intercourse even denounced south
ern men for being disposed to make the best
terms possible with the North. But, horri-
BILE as it may seem, many such persons gath
cred up their families and fastened North
and took up their abode right in the midst
OF yankeedom! Such people can brawl and
talk defiantly, but when it comes to the
pinch they skedaddle to the "fiesh pots" of
the North. Their love for the South willnot
permit them to share the fortunes of the
South o. send their daughters to Southern
schools and colleges. Of course, in their es-
timation any southern man who remains
here and expects to live and die in the South,
and who is in favor of speedy settlement Of
our national difficulties on the best terms
possible, is traitor to the South Charlotte
Democrat.

To You've MEN.-Young man, in the fol-
lowing short paragraph you will find the en-
tire law and the testimony: 49,.
Young man save that penny-pick I'D
that pin-let that account be correct to a
farthing-fnd out what that bit of ribbon
costs before you say you will take it-pay
that half dime your friend handed YOU to
make change with, lin word be economi-
cal, be accurate, know what you are doing !:
be honest, and generous; for all you have or
acquire thus belongs to you by every rule or
right, and you may put it to any good use
you please. 1t is not parsimony to be eco
nomical. 1t is not misery to save pin from
loss 1t is not selfish to be correct in YOUR
dealings. 1t is not small to know the price
OF articles you are about purchase, or to
remember the little debt you owe. What if
you do meet Bill Pride decked out in much
better suit than yours, the price of which he
has not yet learned from the tailor. who
laughs at your faded dress, and old-fashioned
notions of honesty and right, your day will
come. Franklin, from a penny-savine bow
walking in the streets with loaf of bread
under his arm, became the companion of
kings.

COLUMBIA, s. c., Jan. 13.-The freedmen
are leaving this vicinity in such numbers as
to excite alarm for the future cultivation of
the lands. They are chiefly bound for Flor
ida, whittier they are transported at govern
ment expense of about SIS per head and
promise of rations until the working season.
The main reason for leaving. are the hopes
they indulge of better employment in the
new region to which they are destined.
EXODUS OF THE FREEDMEN.
SUMTER, s. c., Jan. 9, 1867.-There is a
perfect exodus of the freedmen from this
country. They are collected in camps along
the line of the railroad, waiting for the
trains which are to bear them away, perhaps
forever, from the homes Of their childhood
and the graves of their fathers. They 90
under government supervision, with the
promise OF free transportation and six
months rations. They are mostly bound for
the Land of Flowers" where colonies are
being established, and where they will occu-
Ply the position of independent communi-
ties, under the military protection of the
United States.
That they leave reluctantly is evident
But the contract system of the past year was
productive of every species of fraud, inius
tice and wrong; and after year of toll and
endurance, the freedman found himself at its
close without money, provisions, blankets or
shoes, and without home. Mass meetings
were held and efforts made to induce the
planters to consent to more liberal terms for
the current year; but the planters would
neither do this, nor rent them land to plant
for themselves. Hence this wholesale emf
grafton, which win remove some of the best
labor from this State, and leave a large area
of land uncultivated. Those planters who
have exhibited willingness to allow proper
remuneration for services rendered, have Sc
cured all the employees they require, and .
proper effort would have retained the en-
tire population. But the course pursued to-
ward the freedmen has been fatal blunder,
and will be realized as such when too late.
