BRAZILIAN EMIGRATION.

The exactions to which the Radical
Congress are subjecting the SOutheTn
people, and the utter prostratiOn that pre-
walls in many sections, have bred a ten
dency to emigration among numbers of
people who have become discouraged, and
think they might 60 farther and fare bet
ter For some reason Brazil has become
a quite attractive region to persons who
have encouraged this feeling and it may
be a very good place to 60 to A writer
in the Petersburg Inder gives his i'm
preston of it, and We give it in turn for
those who contemplate a move He says
There is a delightful region in South
America, accessible by steamboat, which is
not only pleasant TO live in, but affords a
charming prospect for all who wish to die,
az well as to live, easy. Ii is pecuniarily
well suited TO those Of our fellow citizens
who look forward for support to public Of
fees aud Confscation.
The vegetation of the country is peren-
NAL, and the splendor and elegance of ma
ture are, beyond description, fine The
emigrant like the native, has only to step
ashore, go into the woods, and be happy
He reclines, with dignifed ease, underneath
the first clump of trees. On looking up, he
discovers the bread-fruit growing, and
above that the pendant branches of the
cocoanut.
In the same woods the shirt tree grows,
described by the celebrated traveller, Hum
boldt. The tree is ielled with an ordinary
knife, the skin is taken off, two arm holes
are cut into it, and there is the shirt. A
work of five poor little minutes such as
any one may get through with lazily in an
idle spell, whiting off the small end of
nothing from a chunk of soft pine.
To vary the diet, one need only whistle
for a native, who will come, and for the
consideration of half cent viii produce
from his traps two dozen woodcocks, which
are plentiful there, and as we all know are
most delicious eating. For one cent you
may obtain a bushel and half of sweet po-
tatoes The yam, indeed, grows almost
spontaneously, and is brought TO its highest
state of perfection by being simply poked
in a hole and covered over with sand, an
operation requiring no more energy than
is necessary to dip up gourd Of water and
drink.
All sorts of fruits grow in the greatest
abundance, and force themselves into OBJ
servation by their profusion.
Death in that country is, as we have in
timated, easy. All that is necessary is for
one TO satiate himself with yams, bread
fruit shirts, grapes and laziness, and lie
down in Jungle and go to sleep. When
he wakes he will find himself in the belly
of a boa-constrictor, or heaven, or perhaps
somewhere else.

ATTORNEY GENERAL STANBERRT, in his
opinion constituting the voting clause Of
the reconstruction act for the guidance Of
registration officers, says
Voluntary contributions in furtherance
Of the rebellion, or subscriptions TO Rebel
loans, and even organized contributions OF
food or clothing, or necessary supplies, ex-
cept of strictly sanitary character, are to
be classed with acts which disqualiiy the
duties and powers of franchise.
Suppose Mr.. John Trimble, Radical
candidate for Congress, who holds that a
GOOD many better men than he is are I'M
unfit to vote because of their participa
tor in the rebellion, were put upon his
roir dire in regard to his contributions
not Of strictly sanitary character
during 1861, how would he answer
Did he OF did he not give anything to the
equipment of Rebel companies at or
about the time when he proclaimed him

ancestry for three generations, and an

started on an excursion to Iron mountain

ALAS, POOR ULYSSES.

Mrs. Jane L. Swisshelm, the ferocious
and formidable Bohemian, is after L. S.
with the sharpest kind Of an instrument.
In her last letter TO the Republican, the
new Radical organ at New Orleans, Mrs
Swisshelm says;
General Grant, being Democrat and
an open sympathizer with slavery, the
cause Of the war, was, in pursuance OF our
kid-glove war policy, retained in command
through blunders which would have secured
the disgrace of any Radical General. He
used the material prepared by Fremont for
clearing the Mississippi and for preparing
which Fremont was superseded He ex-
hibited logged perseverance in using that
final argument in war, the longest purse
and the most men but he never made a
brilliant movement, or once out-maneuyered
an enemy In his Richmond campaign he
crossed the Rappahannock just as Burnside
and Hooker did, and fought Lee al the
greatest possible disadvantage bat as he
hurled his men against one e2rthWork after
another, and they were slaughtered by the
thousands, the government poured in army
after army 10 his aid, until Lee, worn out
as he was was not able to kill them all,
and the survivors took Richmond"

POPULATION OF THE UNITED
STATES

From returns made under the super
vision Of Director Delemar, it appears
that the total population of the thirty
seven states of the Union, in November
and December last, was 34,l00,255, and
of the States and territories together, "a,
50j,S82 In most of the Southern States
there has been a decrease Of population,
in the Eastern small increase, and in
the Western large increase. The re-
suits are supported in every instance by
the State census Of 1865, so far as taken
The comparison with the census of 1860
is as follows Thirty seven States, few
of which were then territories, numbered
81, 2lS,02l inhabitants, and the total in
the States and territories 81 ,443,32l The
total increase since 1860 has, therefore,
been 3, O62, SCI which, in view of the late

his administration according to their

2. That the same Chief Of Police who
then offciated is still in office, and on social
terms with Sheridan's staff.
3. That he refused to approve the re-

on which Gen. Thomas was Intercepted

THE Washington Chronicle announces
that it was zone of its correspondents " that
gave the health of Mr.. Davis, and not its
editor. From this we infer that Mr. Mac
farland, who gave the toast, and who up TO
Monday evening last was the editor of the
Chronicle, has resigned the chair and be-
come correspondent. The fact that he
offered this toast was of course nobody's
business, and we should not have referred
to it had not the Chronicle gone out of its
way to vindicitively assail the editor of this
paper. The best advice that We can give
to the Washington editor is not to drink at
all. 1t is a bad practice, and people, es-
pecially editors Of Little Pedlington news
papers, are apt to drink toasts at night that
give them much sorrow in the morning,
and look very ugly in print.-Ne'o York

like this style. All through the district,
