The New Orleans Times, referring to
the approaching election In Louisiana,
says:
at is undeniabc that strong feeling Of
cdste-of exclusivepess--is growing up in
the breasts Of the colored people, and that
the tendency to ignore white men as coun-
selors and leaders. even though they be of
the most radical type poltically-is con-
stantIy on the increase. Even at this ear
ly day, long before an election for the new
local governments can be held, there is
scarcely State or a municipal Office that
eau be named for which negro candidate
has not already been put forward, with ac-
tive and strong supporters at his back. A
colorcd man, now holding Office by appoint
ment of Gen. Sheridan, boasted on lead
ing thoroughfare, in tones to be heard by
passers, that he would be the next sheriff
elected, if it cost him $4,000. He is
confident of succeeding without any such
liberal expenditure another is quite as
confident OF being the next Mayor The
member of Congress from the first district
is decided upon, and SO on to the end of
the list"

Two YOUNG LADIES TREE A NAKED
YoUTH.-A young man of Liberty county,
Miss, who a short time previous won the
heart and hand of neighborhood girl, de-
nuded himself Of his ig leaves for the very
pleasant object of taking bath in the
creek. Scarcely had he submerged his
heated frame in the CO, ling waters, ere he
heard the cracking Of twigs ard the sill
very ring of girlish laughter. and, looking
up he saw-horrendum monstrum the
object of his affection and female COM
panion approaching. Quicker than thought
aud unperceived, he made for the bank
and running nimbly up tree, there wait
ed the end of the predicament The young
ladies approach, our hero's heart thumps,
they stop beneath the tree that holds him,
and very naturally start with surprise when
they see 4 mans clothing on the ground and
no wearer about Our friend above shud-
dered at their curiosity, aud, desiring to
make his retreat more secure, moves eau
tiously higher up, but accidently puts his
whole weight on decayed limb, which
breaks and drops him, with all his blush
ing charms, pop in the midst of the girls!
He, of course, spins off at tangent, like
bursted she'll, in one direction and they
retreat equally as fast and Mortified in an
other.

The New York correspondent of the
Louisville Democrat says:
Mrs. Lincoln is making 4 terrible CON-
motion in Black Republican circles here,

ing them, if they don't come forward and

Gossip says that the fine shawls and other
forgery she is now advertising for sale
were never purchased by her, but were
presents from politicians who desired to
secure her influence while Ter husband
was President, in obtaing Offices for them.
Some of the politicians, it is further as
serted, are parties who carry their heads
loftily in this community, and who are
commonly looked upon as the exponents of
great moral ideas. Mrs. Lincoln, in pri-
vate, says she does not intend to be BASH
full. She is going to wait awhile, and then
if certain folks don't do what is tight, she
is going to tell all she knows. The newspa-

her in a body, and one of them, | am in

Leisure Moments.
BY AsEURY

If but half the leisure moments
That are squsndered day by day
Were employed In friendly missions
To the needy By the way,
What a burden Of affliction,
What weie hit of bitter woe,
From the children Of misfortune
Might be lifted as We go.
Very much we might be doing,
While we sit with folded hands,
Thoughtless of the call of duty
And phi!anthropy's demands;
Needless of the walls of anguish
That we hear on every side
Hugging only to our bosofris
Our own selfish lust and pride.
Precious moments We are wasting,
When we might be doing good
Moments freighted with rich blessings,
If we'd spend them as We should;
Moments that we might be using
For the sowing Of good seed,
That tn starving hearts of others
Would bring luscious fruit indeed.

sardines and whisky. With these he spent
the night and had a good supply over for

jury have not agreed" Toward noon get
ting very thirsty, and unable to get further
supplies, Joe called in the Constable, had
himself conducted before the Squire, re-

Old and New Congress.

The Senate ended its session of Sunday
at a. M, taking recess until 8 a. M, OF
Monday. On again meeting the residue OF

ness of minor importance except that

tenn, in place of Mr.. Foster, whose Sen
atorial term expires. An executive ses-
sion closed the forenoon. The House

ment of the advances made to him by

roll. A motion to elect a Sperkcr, after
some delay caused by an attempt of
Democratic members, thro' their spokes-
man, Mr.. Brooks, to record a protest
against the organization while number
Of States were unrepresented, resulted in
the reelection of Mr.. Colfax who, on Ia
king the Chair, very eloquently addressed
the House. After the members were

ALEXANDER DALLAS BACuE.-The demise OF
this distinguished citizen and scholar, involves
the loss to the government of a valuable and
faithful servant, and to the cause OF science OF
one of its most distinguished ornaments. For
more than twenty years he has been at the
head of that great national work known as the
U. s. Coast Survey, commencing under the
auspices of the government by the late Ferdin-
aud r Hassler, distinguished mathematician.
Mr.. Hasser, we believe, was Prussian by

this position III lSt3, he, Mr.. Bachc, continued
up to the period of bis last illinsss to supertend
its operations, giving to the country and to the
world as the partial results of his scientific skill,
the invaluable data embraced in the three pom
derous volumes of the U. S. Coast Survey,
published by the government few years since
Mr.. Bache was maternal great-grand-son of
Beujaman franklin his grandmother being the
only daughter of Franklin, and the wife of Rich

Revolution, and left to her decendents bril-
liant reputation for virtue, intelligence and
patriotism, displaying in behalf of the cause of
American Indipen dence, Mr.. Bache died at
Newport, R. l. in the 6lst year of his age. His

Protest Against Ritualism.

The anticipated protest of American
Episcopal bishops against the rituulistic
tendencies of the church has appeared
1t is signed by twenty bishops. Several
bishops declined to sign it, who approve
because they doubt the propriety of such
demonstration. 1t sets forth that the
ceremonies and rites established when
the Episcopal church was organized in
the U. S., Immediately after the Revolu-
ton are the law of the church, and that
no strange or foreign usages should be
introduced. "And we therefore consider
that in this particular national church,
any attempt to introduce into the public
worship of Almighty God, usages that
have never been known, such as the use
of insence, and the burning of lights in
the order for the holy communion; rever-
ences to the holy table or to the clements
thereon, such as indicate or imply that
the sacrifice of our Divine Lord and Sa-
vlor, "once offered" was not 'sfnll, per-
feet and sufficient sacrifice, Oblation'and
satisfaction, for the sins of the whole
world;'' the adoption of clerical habits
hitherto unknown, or material alterations
of those which have been in use since the
establishment of our Episcopate; is an
innovation which violates the diciplin of
the church, "offendeth against it's COM
mon order, and hurteth the authority of
the Magistrate, and woundeth the con-
sciences of the weak brethren. Further
more, that we be not misunderstood, let
it be noted that we include in these CEN
sures, all departures from the laws, ru-
brics and settled order Of this church, as
well by defeat as by excess of observance

sound scriptural and primitive, and there

Sixteen bishops decliced to sign the
protest, among whom are: Bishops Hop

of New York, Stevens of Pennsylvania

it to the churches with letter of recon-

President OF THE SENATE.-The Senate did
good thing among its last acts in choosing
the Hon. B. F. Wade, for President of the Sen
ate pro tenn, or virtually Vice President of the
United States-an act at which the whole 10y
al portion of the people viii rejoice.
The record of Senator Wade is known and read
ofall men, and his political virtue is believed to
be above suspicion. His name is the synonym
of firmness and sturdiness. He has been so
long in the crucible, and exposed to so much
severe trial, not only by adhesion to an unpo p
ular cause, during its days of unpopularity,
but by taking the front rank, and boldly and de-
family standing in the breach, that we are fain
to believe the confidence of the country in him
has not been misplaced. Mr.. Wade will make
a superior executive officer and if by any con-
tingency he should be required to fill the Pres
idential chair, he will never, we are assured,
be found turning his heel upon his friends or the
cause of Justice and right.
