former years, delivered an eloquent speech.
The Tribune has the following summary o
young BENNETT hobnobling with royalty
. JAMES and ALFRED, were two good boys, who had
little ships, and JAmEs's ship sailed over the
pond: ALFRED was so glad that he asked JAMES
to dinner, and they had gingerbread. So JAMES
offered to give ALFRED his little ship, as q proof
that all JAMES countrymen were SO glad ALFRED
had given him such nice dinner. But ALFRED
wouldn't take the little ship because it was too
good for him, and 80 both boys were glad, and
hoped their families would never quarrel.
y BRowMow's Militia Bill has passed the State
Senate BY vote Of thirty to twenty-three. The
Nashville Union and Dispatch says Of it's passage
in that body: During the debate, a Radical menl-
ber disclosed the-object of tho measure in one
brief and brutal sentence. He said there had not
!. been blood enough she'd With legislators who
vote under the stimulus Of such passions, argu-
ment is Ruthless, and comment upon the proceed
ing unnecessary. Should it become tho law, the
history of it's execution will be disgrace to the
civilization of the age, and will furnish tales Of
horror at which humanity will weep"
The New York Tribune says: alabama has just
taken State census, and reports a total popula-
ton Of ,, whereof Az AS are blacks. In 1880
she had 964 296, OF whom 1886, 1872 were slaves. 1t
is evident that her black inhabitants just about
as numerous as in 1860, while her whites are but
10000 fewer. We infer from this that the South
ern States have generally nearly if not quite US
many inhabitants now as in 1850, and will have
more in 1870. The stories that the blacks are
isdying cut" seem to be utterly baseless. A good
many Of them have migrated northwerd or boen
taken to Texas; but they will number o. least four
million in 1870"
A Memphis paper says: ''Colored aristocracy
seems to be coming to grief Last week George
Washington was convicted in Richmond for steal
ing lot Of old iron, and James Z. Polk for a
similar freedom with other peoples property.
Horace Greeley was found guilty Of murder, in
Charleston, on Monday, and will soon expiate q
life OF rascality on the gallows. In New Orleans
Andrew jackson was in limbo for robbing hen
roost. We advise the colored gentry to select,
hereafter, such names as BEN. BUTLER THAD.
STEVENS, CHAs. SUMNER, JAMES ASHLEY, etc.-they
may prove more lucky in their efforts upon char
acter."
>The cypress Of Somma, in Lombardy, Italy, is per
haps the oldest tree on record. It was known to be
in existence in the time of JULIUS CESAR orty-two
years before CHR1sT, and is therefore more than
1900 years old. 1t is 105 feet high and 20 in cir
cumfarence at one foot from the ground. NAPo-
LEON, when laying down the plan for his great
road ger the simplon, portion Of the Alps di-
verged from straight line to avoid injuring this
tree. The honor of superior antiquity, however, is
claimed by some in behalf of the immense and val
liable tree in Cs,ayeras county, California which is
supposed, from the number Of concontric circles in
the trunk, to be 2265 years old.
A Washington letter to tho Baltimore Gazette
says CnAs. OCoNoR and j. G.. SHEA, Esqs, col1n-
eel for Mr. DAVIS, are in the city. Mr. HORACE
GREELEY is also hete. It is further known that
Mr. GREELEY had an interview with the President
yesterday, and interviews with MIR. DAVIS counsel
this morning. From these facts the quid nuncs
have conjectured that the State prisoner at Fort
ress Monroe is about either to be released on par
ole or hail. that his case is on the eve Of bein,
disposed of in some way; and it must be confessed
that the facts warrant fair Inference that this
long delayed act Of sheer justice is at last about
to be performed.
The Philadelphia Age, Of Tuesday, says: ssAbout
once in three months somo of our coored citizens,
instigated by men of the Saxon race, become OBJ
sreperous in reera to the rules adopted by the
car lines prohibiting their riding inside the cars,
and they insist on riding in the in spite of all
opposition Last evening this interesting per-
formance WAS again enacted on a car of the Fifth
and Sixth streets line, at Fifth and Pine streets
Three colored men got on the car and took seats
inside Upon being informed by the conductor
that they we're not allowed there they insisted that
they would stay. The car was consequently taken
of the track and put on a snow bank. Tho colorcd
men sat quite conposedly inside the car, End
when we left they expressed determination to
stay all night. Probably tlis is new way Of OBJ
tanning lodgings for nothing.
