Fun As A PRoFEssION.- busi-
ness of making people laugh is 10 joke.
YOricks, whose speciality it is to set the
table in a roar, are generally, when on
duty, a chop fallen tribe, Writers
who produce largely for the humorous
papers are. In at least three cases out Of
FIVE, gloomy and taciturn. Comic act
ors, as a class. have always been motor
iOus for their melancholy bearing be-
hind the scenes, ListOn, the EDgllsh
comedian, the expression Of whose face,
evsu Ia repose, was so ludicrous that
it provoked shouts Of laughter, was one
of the most confirmed hypOchOndEIacs
of his day and Billy Williams, for
years the leading representative OF
broad farce in this country, used to
blubber like a whipped schoolbOy
whenever anything went wrong with
him. When Dominique, the French
fnrceuT, was CONFUSING all Paris with
his drolleries, physician Of that city
was one day visited by a miserable
looking nan, who asked what he
should do to get rid of horrid desire
to commit suicide which continually
haunted him. Go and see DOmlnl-
que" said the docter. Alas l'' replied
the unfortunate wretch, l am DOmin-
ique." Forced humor is indeed a sor-
ry business. There is a reaetionary
principle in human nature which rem
ders depression the inevitable conse-
quent Of overstrained merriment. The
philosophy of all this is, that although
wit and humor are cheerful faculties
when suffered to develop themselves
spontaneously, they are quite the re-
verse when compelled to drudge. In
fact, no one faculty can be overWorked
except at the expense of all the others.
To keep the body in a healthy, vigor-
Gus, elastic condition, all its attributes
must be properly exercised. It is the
same with the mind.

Ranney in his speech here last satur-
day, said the party in power never
would let the people up on their pres
ent burdens of taxation and debt so
long as it could prevent it and thus sus-
tain a ''bonded aristocraey.n Why the
I'VE had almost said the lying
scoundredl Z Does he not know that the
Union party has all along insisted on a
speedy payment of the debt, that du-
last two yearsit has been inpow-
er the principal of the debt has been re-
dueed two hundred and sixty millions,
and that it is now being reduced at the
rate Of one hundred and thirty millions
a yearg Does he not know that no
other country on the globe having a
debt so great is paying it of SO rapidly?
He mast know these facts and to make
the charge above mentioned against the
party which by its money and blood
has saved the Union is piece of dem
agogueism bordering on villsiny.

The silly story was circulated during
the campaign that the Union candidate
for Representative declared in public
speech that he would as lief 60 to the
polls and vote with a negro as Ger
man or Irishman. As We understand
some very weak minds are still agitated
with this absurd stuff we win simbly
say that the candidate mentioned has
not dufing the campaign expressed any
preference whateyer as to whom he
would rather vote with. We not only
did not say what ischarged but we have
said aothllg IKE y, and have heard ne
Union speaker or candidate say any
thing like it. Those who have Circula-
ted this falsehood have only shown

COPPERHEAD SENTI8IENT.-The Pom
tiac, (DIich.) Jeffersonian is an honest
Democratic paper. It avows its true
principles, without fear and without
concealment. It says
'For six years Democracy has felt hui
inflated and ashamed ofitself, because
forced into a wrong position. 1t has
been a hypOcrite and liar all through
the war, The war is Black Republican
property"
And again
'sWhat is General Sherman but
murderer, an invader of private rights
and a cotton thief? IF the Democrats
are mean enough to put in nomination
any pup for President who ever wore
shOulder-sraps during the abolition
crusade, we hope he viii be defeated,
and we will do all in our power to ac-
complish that end"
The Southern States cannot be held
by force. The blacks won't fight for
the invaders. The HuBga-
rians had less cause of complaint
against Austria than the South had
against the North.-THUREIAN

a society was lately formed of Union
people at Atlanta, Ga, for the purpose
of erecting a monument in memory of
President Lincoln. They sent clrcu-

monument whiSa Is proposed to
erect to the memory Of our late Ia
mented, can be found In great abun-
dance upon the battle fields of the late
war Let them send out and gather
the bones of the brave and patriotic
Southerners who fell by the bullets Of
Lincoln's hirelings, while fighting for
their eountry's rights, and bleaching
upon the hills aud valleys Of every
Southern State. Let them collect the
crimson gore of their noble hearts
which stained the fields and reddenOd
the grass of a thousand farms IN FIr-
ginia and Georgia, Mississippi and
Tennessee.
Let the Monumental pile, formed
of the bones aud cemented BY the blood
of fallen patriots, be raised until its
peak shall kiss the skies, a fitting mon
ument of Southern devotion to the
memory of him who viii pass into his
tory as the greatest and most wicked

ITALx.-The situation in Italy is
growing interesting. The Garibaldfans,
though deprived of the presence of their
leader, arestill making headway against
the Papal troops-a fact which seems to
indicate that the Italian government is
gagement to Napoleon TO respect the
authority of the Pope. Further than
this, Italy is reported to be seeking the
support Of Prussia, to enabiB her to be
freed from her dread of France. The
whole peninsula is aglow with the anti
Roman spirit, and Victor Emanuelis
Cabinet must either resist the voice Of
the people, or shake Off it's dependence
on French rule. Our advices are quite
meager, but enough is known to render

TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
WASHINGTON, Oct. z, 1867.

DEAR SIR:-Your favor of the 4th
inst. is received. Too much import
ance is attached to the utterance to
which you refer. The people of the
United States are as sound upon the
question of the preservation of the ma
tional faith as they were upon the
question of the preservation of the
Union. consider the faith Of vhe
Government pledged to the $40 bonds,
when they are paid, in coin
There need, think, be no appreF
hension that they will be called in at
the expiration Of five years from their
respective dates and paid 10 United
States notes. The United States notes
were issued under the pressure of a
great necessity, and are by authority of
Congress being Withdrawn from circu-
lation. No more can be issued under
existing laws, nor can / believe that
any considerable number Of the mem
bers Of Congress would favor an ad-
ditiOnal issue for any purpose of pay
ing bonds, In violation of the express
understanding under which they we're
negotiated.
The policy of contracting the eireu-
latiOn of United States notes, adopted
by Congress, and being steadily pur-
sued By the Secretary, should of itself,
even if the honor Of the nation were
not involved In the question, satisfy
holders that 5 20 bonds will not be
called in and paid before maturity in
depreoiated currency.
Very truly, yours. &C.,

AN AHLmPoR4ANr1ErEEB

The Copperhead agitation in favCr
of disposing of the national debt By
greenback reputation has produced
its natural consequences in serious
alarms among our foreign creditors
These fears threaten the return of our
bonds and an unlimited rise in gold,
and to allay chem the Secretary of the
Treasury has written the following
letter to a gentleman in New York:
