AN ACT OF KTNDNRss.-The Manchester
Journal records the following act Of
kindness which has come under its OBJ
servation
The six O'Clock mail train south on
the Western Vermont railroad last
Saturday evening, contained among its
passengers a mother and two small bows
en- route for New York. When the train
stopped at the station at Factory Point
tie two boys got out of the cars and
went into the depot for drink of water
and while there the train moved off. The
boys set up wall that excited the sym.
PATTY of all present. The train pre-.
ceeded near mile, when the Superin-
tendent Of the road, Mr.. White, who was
aboard, being made acquainted with the
circumstances, ordered the train to ston
and run back to the station for the mis-
sing boys. 1t is seldom our privilege To
record such an instance OF practical
kindness by railroad officials as was
manifested in this case"

consultation with the members of the
Legislature of that State, and especially

amendments If they can have assurance
from Congress that this shall be the ulti-
matum, and that the loyal Senators and
Representatives from that State will be
admitted without delay. These propo-
sitions they were unwilling to accept
two weeks ago. They believe that the
Southern Legislatures that have already

ments, would reverse their proceedings
and follow Virginia in the course above
indicated If Congress will give the de-
sired assurance.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER %, 1866.
~Moses. Johnson upon Negro Fiog.
ging.

Accounts from North Carolina state
that the practice of publicly whipping
negroes as punishment for trivial ofrenses
Is now being carried on with as high a
hand as was ever known during the
palmiest days OF slavery. This Internal
practice, though base enough under any
consideration or upon any pretext, has a
more nefarious object in view than that
ofpublicly whipping human beings and
reducing them socially to the level of
dogs, viz the removal OF their rights as
citizens and the destruction of their
eligibility TO the elective franchise. 1t
becoming evident to the supporters Of
the Presidential policy in North Car
olina that the negroes as soon as they
were permitted to vote, would cast their
suffrage for the party of the Union,
which overthrow the late rebellion, and
which gave them the liberty for which
they had so long yearned, these cham
pions of oppression put their heads to-
gether and determined that something
must be done to prevent negroes from
supporting free principles and from act
ing at elections with the Republican
party. The question then arose what
was to be done to prevent this crime ?
Upon looking over the statutes of North
Carolina, law was found which pro-
vides that persons who have committed
such crimes as to deserve public whip
ping shall be prohibited from voting.
Here then was golden opportunity,
one which was readily acted upon, and
accordingly negroes were arrested upon
trihing ofenses and in many instances
where they had committed no offense at
all, and carried before magistrates, who
invariably sentenced them to the whip
ping post where they were tied up and
publicly sceurged and all this for the
sake of carrying elections in favor of the !
doctrines which have well-nigh proved |
the overthrow of the nation.
But stay came in these proceedings. |
Gen. Sickles, commanding the U. S. mil |
tary forces ia that State issued an order |
preventing in future all whipping of
negroes or others publicly, as a punish
ment for crime. This of course greatly
increased the chivalry, and Gov. Worth
at the head of a strong delegation of
members of the State Legislature was
accordingly posted off to Washington
to see the President and protest against
Gen. SiCkles order. The committee per-
formed the duty assigned them, and the
President, with Characteristic clemency.
considered the sufferings Of these scions
OF the South, In not being allowed to
'wallop" their late slaves, yielded to
their demands, and seat dispatch to
Gen. Sckles instructing him not to in
terfere with the DEGREES of the civil
courts. For the present, then, the time
honored custom of fiogging is to be re-
tanned in North Carolina, and the "Con-
of the State will POSTPONE
further attempts at secession and rebel
lion which were threatened on account
of its abrogation. OF course, praise
will be lavishly heaped upon the "Moses"
of the negroes by rebels everywhere for
this, his last act of loyalty.

LAMIRANDE IN PARIS Court. - In
late foreign news we find an account OF
curious scene which took place on the
examination of Lamirande, whose case
recently excited so much attention in
this country. The president of the court
pressed him with questions to ascertain
what he did with the money which he
took from the Bank of France. He &C.
counted for a portion of the amount,
and in that sum was an item of 1914
0OOfr. which he placed in the hands of
New York lawyers, or, as he termed
them, advocates. 1t appears from what
followed that American LAWYERS do not
have very good reputation in Paris.
Lamirande's counsel Immediately de.
clared that they were no advocates. :"
The Presiden: of the Court responded.
Yes, they are New York advocates. {"
INC" says the counsel, "they are not
worthy OF such title they are thieves
accomplices, This must be very con.
selling to the legal gentleman who IN.
dertook to defend Lamirande while in
this country. There must be some ex-
traordinary facts connected with this af-
fair to induce the counsel to make this
sweeping charge in open court.
1t appears, however, that the New
York lawyers were not the only persons
that victimized Lamirande. He was
specially unfortunate with those whom
he made his contidants. Those to whom
he paid money in England betrayed
him while in his entire journey he was
specially unfortunate. But of all of
these the New York lawyers seem to
have the worst reputation. Perhaps
the whole matter can be settled by the
parties concerned sending over little
conscience-money.

he chung with tenacity, refusing to
part with it to any one, and wearing it
about him by day and night. As his
end approached, the treasure became a
matter of anxiety to those tending him.
for the sum was evidently large, and il
was feared that it might offer tempta-
ton to some patient in case the moment
of his death should be observed. AT
length the hour arrived, and when death
had apparently claimed him, a nurse
gently unfastened the string and re-
moved the bag. At the same moment
the old man opened his eyes and felt in
stinctively for his treasure, which was
no longer in its place. He uttered the
word Gone" and died. The money
