The Real Question.

Just before the Connecticut election,
the New York Erening Post said:
The real question before the people OF
Connecticut is whether the people ap-
prove or oppose the recent action OF
Congress on reconstruction; and wheth-
er they are in favor of universal suffrage
as the true base of free government.
The Republican platform speaks boldly
and squarely on this question; the Re
publicans. had the courage to declare for
the right, and we believe their courage
will secure their success.
The real significance of the Democrs'
tic victory, therefore, is that the people
condemn the recent action of Congress
Oh reconstruction, and brand as vision
.ary and impracticable the doctrine OF
universal suffrage as basis of Repub-
iican government. AS the Republican
party spoke boldly and plainly on these
questions, the verdict has been rendered
nnderstandingly.

At recent bal masqae given in this
city fair domino attracted the atten-
tion of one of the impressible of the
other sex, who, obtaining her consent,
danced the entire programme with her,
and, under the influence of few glasses
of wine, bacame violently and amatori-
ly enthused When the "wee sma'
hour ayont the twaW arrived, the lady
suggested the propriety of seeking the
paternal mansion, and as the sweet and
hallowed walk seemed to present an op-
portunity for the declaration of his alb
sorbing passion, the gentleman accord
ed with the suggestion. Frequently
was the attempt made during the jour-
ney to insinuate his arm around his fair
linamorata's taper waist, but ut each es-
say, like Bob Acres, the courage oozed
out of his finger ends, and the naughty
member fell powerless at his side. At
length the house was reached, and the

and beautifully less. At the gate the
lady dismissed her escort, thanking him
for his company, but he declined the
discharge, asserting boldly that he
should not leave until the door had
closed between him and his charge.
The front entrance was tried, but found
to be bolted; the lady then went to q
side door, and, without her knowledge,
her adoring Juan followed. While she
was disrobing herself inside the room, of
her street apparel, he pushed the door.
open, and put in his head, determined
to die in the last ditch in the effort to
procure from her an acknowledgment
of the probable return of his devouriug
passion. Just when his neck was IA
vorable to the movement, the lady
banged to the door, holding the luck
less wight close between the door and
the jamb, and seriously impeding the
free passage of the breath of life.. He
yelled and howled, begged mercy in
stentorian tones, but the lady, like
Niobe, would not relent. His screams
walked up the paternal ancestor, who
arrived upon the scene, and accepting
the situation, told his daughter to hold
on to the scoundrel, while from the out
side he applied some most powerful and
efficacious arguments made up of bufa=
10 sole-leather. This punishment con-
tinued till the infiictors were exhaust

when he was permitted to depart.
There are several interested relatives

..RepubI,csn'Y Convention in North
CarOIina.


Several days ago the Radical papers
were quite jubilant over a "RePp!h,n,
can" State Convention
-, al North Carolina, which
.Gsy 6eralded as the first step toward
the handing over of that State to the
Radical managers at Washington.
There could not be any doubt of this,
because that true blue Southern Union
man. Governor HOLDEN, was at the
bottom of it. But, alas for the hopes of
the brethren. it turns out that the Con-
ycntion was "sold out TO the rebels"-
I. e.. the anti Radicals. A recent spe-
sial to the New York Times tells the
story:
Information has been received here
from North Carolina that the recent So
called Union meeting held at Raleigh
was sold out to the rebels. Of the ten
white men selected as committee on
Resolutions nine could not take the oath
required by law. 1t was not Delegate
Convention, and only ffty-three OF the
eighty-nine counties in the State were
represented. The members were select
ed BY Governor Holden and q few OF
his friends without regard to political
qualifications, other than they were will
ling to indorse the policy of the Holden
stss. A Convention of the unconditlon-
al white and black Unionists will soon
be called, and there will be two tickets
for delegates to the Constitutional Con-
yention to be organized under the Ne
construction bill, one Of the Holdenites
and the other of the Unionists.
so HOLDEN and his clan, the sort Of
Radicals in North Carolina up to
this time, are given over to the "reeeis."
yerily our friends are having a hard
fine of it. But misfortuncs never
come singly, and Connecticut makes
compauy for North Carolina.

Princess Salm-Salm leaves New York e.
day, We understand, by the steamer Vile de-
Paris, to rejoin her husband In Europe The
life OF this lady has been so full Of incidents,
and In late years SO eventful, that il she wer0
to write and publish her "Memoirs" they
would rival those Of the most celebrated per-
sonagss. They would illustrate the old saying
that reality Is often stranger than romanos.
Aside from the interest that would attach to
the recital Of her experiences in Havana,
New York and Washington there would be :
historical value to her stories Of camp life In
the Army Of the Potomac during our late civil
war, and: especially to her stories of court
life, camp life and prison life in Mexico. So
tragic we're the events with which
she was intimately associated during the
closing scenes Of the Mexican empire
and such noble although unavailing efforts
did she make to save the life Of the Emperor
Macmillan, and so efectually did she labor b
secure the release of her husband and Of othee
imperial officers, that her name has become
prominently familiar to the public on bott
sides Of the Atlantic. General Escobedo
must have highly appreciated her heroic
persistency when he said that he would rather
meet three battalions on the field than en-
counter the persuasive eloquence Of Princess
Salm-Salm. 1t is presumed that Princess Salm-
Salm Is in possession of documents that will
throw light on the veritable history Of the late
Mexican empire. If she were to publish book
it could hardly fail to be as interesting rs the
volume of lively sketches of Mexican life BY
another American lady, Madame Calderon de
la Barca Historically it would be more
valuable.
