A young man of Liberty County

won the heart and hand of a neigh
borhood girl, denudcd himself Of
his fg-leaves for the very pleasant
object of taking a bath in the creek,
Scarcely had he submerged his
heated frame in the cooling waters,
he heard the cracking of twigs and
the silvery ring of girlish laughter,
and looking up he sew-horrendum
monstrum the object of his atfec-
ton and a female comr onion ap-
proaching. Quick as thought, and
unperceived, he made for the bank,
running nimbly up q tree there
waited the end of the predicament.
The young ladies approach, our
hero's heart thumps, they stop be.
meath the tree that holds him, and
very naturally start with surprise
when they see mans clothing on
the ground and no wearer about
Our friend above shuddered at their
curiosity, and, desiring to make his
retreat more secure, moves cautious
ly higher up, but accidentally puts
his whole weight on decayed limb,
which breaks and drops him, with
all his blushing charms pop in the
midst OF the girls He, Of course,
spins off at a tangent like a bursted
shell in one direction, and they re-
treat equally as fast and horrifcd in
another.

eral banks throughout the country
have been victimized. There is a
sensation report from Washington
that one "who is supposed to be

duplicate impression we are not

THE President takes bis stand on the Con.

The President takes his stand on the Con.
stitution, resolved to try the plain issue
with radicalism whether this shall be re-
publican or military form of government
The Constitution invests him with authority,
which radicalism seeks to wrest from him.
To threats he is Indifferent, having sworn to
protect and defend the supreme law from
which he derives his authority. According
to Thad. Stevens own blunt admission, Con-
gress is outside of the Constitution; the
Senate, he says "repudiated it, and call
agreed that we (Congress) were acting"
"wholly outside of it. Then which side is
right-the President or Congress and which
side are the people going to sustain? The
radical papers and speakers declaim in the
roundest periods about the necessity of "se-
curing the fruits OF war" What are those
fruits? Is revolution chief among them?-
Was the war fought that Congress, or any
other part of the government might go
"wholly outside of the Constitution we
are fortunately coming at last to the Pi'n
of this matter. Radicalism claims the rlsh'
to take its stand outside of the organic law,
and lepislate a change of government be-
cause it believes it has the power; the Pres
dent stands in the way, and declares that
neither the powers Of the executive shall be
diminished, nor the Constitution itself set
at nought. The people understand the case

A Rich Scene on Steamboat White People
Compelled to Go to the Second Table.
From the Philadelphia News.

0Tou tnliauefpH1a news.
On Saturday last the Norfolk and PENN
sula delegates were returning from the rad
ical convention at Richmond on the steamer
Mystic, and at dinner the colored portion
of the passengers proceeded to occupy the
first table. Some objections was made by
white passenger, and quite q scene occurr-
ed. Pistols and knives were fourished, but
no blood was shed. The irrepressible sons
of Africa carried the day. A colored lady
was triumphantly escorted to the table by a
white radical from Norfolk, and these white
passengers who did not choose to eat with
colored folks went dinnerless.
Some white ladies on board retreated to
the capsalns saloon, where dinner was sent
them. The captain of the boat vainly en-
deavored to maintain the supremacy of the
whit element. The darkeys threatened to
put the captain ashore if he made further
trouble, and take charge of the boat them
selves. Col. Gibson, of G rem. Schofield's staff,
was aboard. 1t will soon come to pass that
the "secesh' whites will be obliged to eat at
the second table when colored folks are pres.
ent. Northern radical whites will, for
a while, be allowed to associate on equal
terms with colored folks, but the time will soon
come when the darkey will treat the white
Yankee radical with as much contempt as
he does the mean white trash of the south.
Your true African is great aristocrat at
heart.

out of the war, that if the party which elected
him would rally to his support as the demo-
Gratis had done, he would have no fears of
the future. Because democrats were oppo-
sed TO shifting the grounds of conducting
the war, so as TO make it wasteful and
wicked war for abolition instead OF for the
authority of the constitution and the lnteg-
rity of the Union, and because they now de-
mand that the fruits of the war shall be re-
alised in restoration, instead OF beng blasted
by radical efforts to rule the ten southern
states through half a million negro voters,
they are arraigned by John sherman as
9'rebels," haters of their own government
and institutions, and traitors to civil liberty.
This kind of partizan balderdash, coming
from the lips of men in political position,
may possibly succeed in imposing upon the
peopie while longer. But it cannot be al.
ways. Is it very probable that nearly half
the voters of the northern states are rebels
against their own. government? 1.-THE charge
were true, would they sit down so quietly
after defeat at the polls, and wait in pa
tience for a constitutional opportunity to
wrest the government from the hands of
those who seek to revolutionize it? These
radical speakers and journals know better.
They employ this pokermoonshine style of
argument to frighten the people with, and
then assure them there is no safety but by
trusting power with them. And this is all
they have to answer to the pressing popular
inquiries about taxation, debt, finances, and
industry; party overrunning with states
manship, surely, and capable Of carrying the
country forward to larger prosperity. Sen
ator Sherman's address turned on the hinge
of negro-suffrage. So far as Ohio is con-
cerned it is legitimate topic of discussion;
but when it comes to the point of making
half a million negro voters supreme in the
south, so as to enable them to hold the bal
ance of political power in the country, that
is a matter in whose discussion the whole
| north is directly interested, and will have
| something to say at the polls. 1t cannot be
charged with truth by Senator Sherman
that democrats prevent negro suffrage, for
while Connecticut was republican by 5000
| majority, it doubled the majority against
| negro-suffrage in that state when the ques.
ton was fairly presented to the citizens
Impartial suffrage is not the same thing
| with negro supremacy. Democrats believe
| in one and revolt at the other. And Sena-
| tor Sherman will find the people of the
northern states with them when the matte,
| comes up for their INSTRUMENTATION Post.

PAYING THE NATIONAL DEBT WITH
GREENBACKS.

We cannot now recollect any political sub
ject that has grown into public importance
so rapidly as the proposition to pay the ma
tional debt with greenbacks, and thereby
lessen the great burden of taxation which is
weighing down the industry of the country,
do away with the odious stamp act, and flank
the movements of what will other
wise become an aggressive and dangerous
combination pledged to absolute reputation.
For some time the journals owned by bond
holders or controlled in their interest, treat
ed this great move with supercilious indiffer-
ence, but as they see it gaining favor with
men of all parties, they are rapidly wheeling
into line and bringing their batteries to bear
upon it with all the skill theypossess. When
it was proposed to issue thousand million
