Can We?

English craftsmanship in relation to
Ireland is not much thought Of by some
Republican journals that justify the ap-
plication of Military Government to the
South. The fact is pointed to that Ire
land to- day is more unlike England than
it was seven hundred years ago, and the
explanation for this is given in the cir
cumstances that English craftsmanship
has never relied upon anything but coer-
cion. and so has kept Ireland always 10
the condition of subjugated enemy
that ireland has always been dragoened
aud dishantled, disarmed and distr1sted,
disabled and degraded, and is so to this
day."
This is the way Republican stateman-
ship is dealing with the South. Can we
hope for it better success than has at
tended the same policy which English
craftsmanship has applied to Ireland for
nearly seven hundred years?

Execution of Bumgardner.

Bumgardner, the murderer of Eubank,
was executed at Marietta on the 18th ult.,
protesting his innocence to the last. He
claimed to have experienced change of
heart, some days previous to his execn-
ton, and, when on the scaffold declared
his readiness to meet his God. He spoke
from the scaffold something over an hour,
reporter says in an il!iterate manner, de-
failing various incidents of his former
life, acknowledging sundry arrests and
imprisonments; admitted having been in
the rebel service-though claiming to
have been conscripted into it as a Union
man-and referred to the fact that he
was once arrested by the Union forces in
West Virginia upon the charge of being
rebel bushwhacker, but was eventually
discharged for want of proof. He stated
his connection with the murder of Eu-
bank to be as follows: That, in the sum-
mer of 1866, he became acquainted with
counterfeiter named Johu Woods, at
Gallipolis; that Woods induced him to
take and pass counterfeit "greenbacks, v
and join the association of bogus dealers;
that he went up to the oil wells at Burn
ing Spring, where he met Woods by ap-
pointment; that Woods had three confed
crates with him; that by false pretenses
he persuaded Eubank (who was unac-
quainted with Woods and his confeder-
ates.) to go with him to Ohio, ostensibly
for his family, but really with preconcert-
ed intent of robbing him of his money
and team; that e,with Eubank and team
crossed the Ohio at Parkersburg, anG
reached Hills landiug-Woods and con
federates having reached the opposite
Virginia shore about the same time; tha
Woods alone soon appeared on the Obi,
side at their wagon, and protesting to re
cognize Bumgardner as an old acquaint
ance, invited him to GO over the river will
him into Virginia to attend dance;tha
ne begged off from going; that Woods
then said to Eubank-"Stranger. won
you go?''-and that thereupon Eubanl
agreed to go, and went. Git being agreed
all around that when they got him int,
Virginia he should be chloroformed ant
robbed) that Eubank, before starting
got the fifth chain from his team to fas
ten the skiff with on the other shore
that when Eubank and Woods got over
the confederates met them, chloroforme'
the former and commenced robbing him
that Eubank came to and made battle ,du
ring which one of them struck him s.
hard as to kill him, unintentionally, afte
which they cast the dead body in tn
river, and came over and told him Bum
glrdner) what they had done; that b
protested that it was not the agreemen
to kill, but only to rob Eubank; that the
forced him to acquiesce, and to start wit
the team for Catlettsburg, Kentucky
where they would all meet and divide til
spoils; that he started next morning south
ward with the team, but changed hi
mind by the time he arrived in Galli
County, and took his family and left fo
the West He may have had coniedel
ates in the murder, but his protestation
Of innocence seem to have made little i'm
preston upon those who heard him.

An Instance of Perseverance.

One morning during the late war, an
officer riding through the woods of North
Alabama, was attracted by atall ,lank coun-
tryman, who seemed to be using his best
tendeavors to reach the top of large
hickory tree. Scarcely had he reached
the summit, when, rapidly descending, he
started up another one few yards off,
This strange proceeding was continued
at least dozen times, the countryman
climbing and descending one tree after
another for nearly quarter of mile
The officer at length overtaking him, in.
quired the cause of his eccentric gyra-
tions. II was lyin' asleep under yon
hickory, when. darned squirrel dropped
a shell-bark into my eye; I'm goin to
worry him till he leaves the settlement, if
| die in the attempt"

New York Fashions.

Fashion is travelling back in its steps
with the utmost expedition. The ladies'
dresses are getting shorter, and the latest
ball style revives the mode of fifty years
ago with all its brevity and scantness.-
This ball dress is very short in the waist;
the skirt, exactly as in the old style
known as the Josephine, descending from
just below the arm-pits in straight line
to the ankle, where it stops in time to re-
veal the foot in all its proportions, grace
full or otherwise. The skirt is scant, with
but little circumference, and is abundant
ly ornamented with braid, flowers or 9th
er trimming. AS these scant skirts are
to be in favor, / wonder whether the Gus
tom our grandmothers had of damping
their drapery SO that it would cling to
and reveal the form will also be practic-
ed by the modest bellies of 1867. 1t is
also said that those immense she'll combs
that we're so much in vogue forty years
ago, are to be revived and substituted
for the waterfall.

An Anecdote worth Preserving.

"A Paris correspondent guarantees the
following:
A Frenchman, prisoner in Elinburg,
having managed to escape, took refuge
in the powder magazine. When the au-
thorities wished to size him. they found
him sitting on a barrel with lighted
match, and threatening to blow up the
town The authorities reflected prudent
ly, and the result of their deliberations
was that it would be better to starve the
Frenchman out. Ru, they reokoned with
out their prisoner, who loved good cheer,
and was determined to live we'll. In
consequence he called out that he would
blow the town to pieces if he, did not gel
three meals day; he would write out the
bill of fare. Sawney suecumbed, and the
demands of the prisoner went on increas,
ing. Sometimes he had serenade un.
der the window; then review Of
garrison, afterwards sham fight, in
which the troops representing the French
army beat the Highlanders. At last be
exacted that every Sabbath morning
before breakfast, the Lord Provost, ID
full uniform, should make bis appearance
and read him an address. This lasted
until the allies entered Paris.

CONGREssI0NAL.
WASHINGTON, February %.
THE TARIFF BILL KILLED.

-
The most important feature of to-day's
Congressional proceedings has been the
death of the Tariff bill in the House.
The protectionists struggled long and
faithfully to save their measure by art
fully working the intricate parliamentary
machinery to that end; but it was of no
use.i The bill was odious enough in the
first place, and the remaining two hun
dred SeBate amendments made it still
more. so. Simon Cameron and Horace
Greeley were on the floor of the House
participating in the little side caucuses
of the Republicans, and urging them up
to the work, but fate was, against them,
and Greeley giving thegmatter up in dis
gust, came up into the reporters.gallery,
and taking the World correspondent 5
seat, hurled anathemas over his desk and
on to the floor against the Western Re-
pubicans who voted against the bill. In
despair, the Chairman of the Ways and
Means proposed joint resolution to in
crease the present tariff 20 per cent, but
the House refused to consider it. The
few Western protectionists then appealed
that the wool interest might be saved but
the Eastern men turned around and said
they did not propose to be humbugged
by special legislation for special inter-
est, and voted the wool interest overheard.
THE LOAN CERTIFICATE BILL
is still on the Speakers table as it came
from the Senate. The House will doubt
less accept the bill for funding the matu-
ring compound interest notes rather than
fail by concurrence. with the Senate
to effect any legislation for that purpose.
Since sending previous dispatch, Che
House has taken action on the Loan Ger
tifcate bill as it came from the Senate,
and refused by twenty majority 10 accept
the same in lieu of the House PROPOSE
tion to substitute legal.tender notes. A
Committee Of Conference was ordered but
it is believed that the great difference be
tween the two Houses cannot be recon
ciled

The Imperial Review, inan article on
whist gives some hints which may be
useful even to many careful players:
with many players you can tell to. a
certainty whether the card about to be
led is winner or looser; and not only
that, but whether, if winner, 1t is the
precursor of other winners. The wrist
and the fingers are often the sole reveal,
ers thereof. A man who touches three
or four cards before leading, in all prob
ability touches losers, fo: bad player
invariably plays out his best cards, ir-
respective, OF consequences, with readi-
ness proportioned to their value, and a
good player never touches more than
one card. He who discards briskly does
SO from an insignificant suit; hesitatingly.
in the presence of alternatives; deliber-
ately, from good hand.
