A GREAT DIsoovERY.-lt would ap-
pear from what is now transpiring
around us, that the rich resources OF
the Yankee mind, like that of the dar.
key, are not half developed. The Phil.
adelphia Christian Instructor furnishes
the following information IN reference
to oar national wards"-"Lincoln's
pet lambs" in that city. The edi-
tor says:
"A High School, Of a thorough and liberal
grade Of study, is in successful operation A larg,
number Of colored youths are attending II, and al
the Commencement, few weeks since, the compo.
sitons and declamations evnced talent Of high or.
der and scholarship Of a most commendablc char
acter. What a rich harvest Of good is flowing
from this benevolent bequest and who can esii-
mate the full extent or value Of the good il
tinues to flow on Z"
What numb-skulls the former inhab-
itants of our earth must have been
They kept, bought, sold and worked
the African for over six thousand
years, yet they never discovered the
"high talent for scholarship and dec.
lamation." This miracle was left, by
Providence, no doubt, to be developed
by modern loyalists. We would not
be surprised to learn, before long, that
through the combination of negro
wisdom and white loyalty, Revelation
will be denounced as farce, and the
power of the Creator, like that of the
Constitution, defied.

The PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS.
"A dispatch from Washington says
ut is understood that the Senate f.
nance committee have taken up the
Presidential appointments referred to
it. A proposition was made and ad-
vocatcd that they should reject them
en- masse but, upon consideration,
this was rejected by a majority, it be-
ing considered as az indication of a
spirit of spite which would be unbe-
coming the Senate OF the United States.
1t was finally decided that the nomi-
nations of men who formerly acted
with the republican party, and who
severed their connection with tire par
ty with the object of obtaining office
from the administration, should be
rejected. In other cases where the
appointees have served in the army or
navy during the war, or were consist
ent democrats and good officers, the
committee will recommend the confr-
nation of appointments.

MASTERS OF THE SITUATIoN.-We
find this paragraph in the New York
Day Book of the Goth "Amid all the
efforts of the political quack doctors
to compromise, bridge over, or cajole
the Southern States into yielding to
the demands of Congress, let them
remember that they are masters Of
the situation. They have only to
stand still. Do nothing. Tho mon
grels are already coaxing, begging
thom to yield, and the great crowd
Of trimmers are perfectly frantic to
have them do something But we
say, stand still Don't stir an inch.
You are masters Of the situation if you
did but know it.

The Philadelphia Press has evident
ly taken n contract to villfy and abuse
those who donot throwup their hats for

to three heavy columns have con-
frontcd the Winnebago Chief If

the Senate, the Dead Duck will quacls
louder than ever Old Thad. should

SOMEBODY MIsTAKEN.-Ten years
ago, we heard venerable statesman
make the remark, that Thad. Stevens
had thrown his conscience to the dew
il, and that he had asked three other
gentlemen to do the same thing.
Judging from what took place on the
floor of the Rump, on Saturday last,
the old buckshot- war hero has evident
ly been reconstructed, because he sta
ted, in speech, that his conscience
would never allow him to vote for the
admission of another State whose Con-
stitution prohibited negro suffrage.
He declared also that the idea of put
ting loyal negroes on footing with
rebel whites, was an outrage his con
science could never approve.

.sudifor Gemeraps Report.

We have given this annual docu
ment superficial view, and find that
the balance in the Treasury is s632, 900
short of last year. In turning over
the leaves, however, we find the fol
lowing parties have made raids Oh
that Department, and the only wonder
is, that there was anything left
as the State Treasury has served them
in the capacity Of a Freedman's Bureau
for a series of years. The following
items we find in one drawer of thi:
bureau:
Col q Mcclure, for whiskoy, etc.

Gov. Curtin, for extraordinary

of Philadelphia, and has made s25, ,OOC

1t is a wonder that this item was
not s24,560. We suspect, however
that the balance is sliced out under
some other name, so that the child
would not be recognized by the tax.

We observe that the Surveyor Gen.

Gov CURTIN's MEssAGE.-Wo are
not disposed to be egotistical, but be.
ing possessed of more patriotism than
loyalty, we are compelled to forego
the publication of this document. The
Governor has turned a complete sum-
mersault. He has changed from a
medium statesman, to raving fanatic
He has attempted to initiate the rad.
icalism of Thad. Stevens, in order to
secure bis election 10 the Senate but
if he does not look sharp, he will be
the third, if not the hihdmost nag in
the race, and will be left without

TnE NEXT PRESIDENoY.-The Pitts.
burg Republic aaunts at its masthead
the name of Andrew Johnson as its
candidate for the next Presidency. A
meeting of soldiers, recently held in
Iowa, have named Dan Rice for the
same post--as Gen. jackson, in 1880,
patted him on the head, after he had
rode horse race, saying, "you are an
extraordinary lad, and may yet be
President of the United States" we
are not so sure but he may get ahead
of the candidate of the Republic.

The WAY IT WoRKs.-The down
ward tendency in the dry goods trade
has brought about a reduction of ten
per cent in the wages of the employ
ecs in the New England manufactor-
les. The propristors are now at Wash
ington, TO get an additional tariff of
forty per cent, which they will no
doubt get. Thus by robbing the fac
tory girls often per cent. and assessing
forty upon the whole country, the
loyal owners make the handsome
profit of fifty per cent, in addition to
the one hundred they arc making
now. This is the result of Psalm.

FENIANISM ON THE FRONTIER.

FenIan Affairs at MaIOne-SuspiClOus
Looking Freight Marked "PIanOs"-
The Popular Sentiment In Franklin
County, Etc.
MALONE, N. Y, March 24.-The indices which
here point to movement among the "Fenian
men" for another invasion of Canada have the
same degree of indefnteness that distinguished
them at st. Albans at 0gdensburg, and at other
places along the border. So secretly are the
movements of the Brotherhood carried on that
the utmost perseverance fails to draw out any
thing upon which an opinion can be based as to
the design of the F. BIS in the matter. Every
one here however speaks of the Invasion" as
an affair the happening OF which Is toregone
conclusion. 1t forms the principal topic of con-
Versation on the street, is discussed, pro and
con, with no little degree of Vehemence, and
the Maloneites are living in daily expectancy
of another irruption OF Celtic patriots similar
to that which distinguished the campaign" of
1866, How or when II will take place, though,
they are totally ignorant, and, as consequence,
surmises and Tumors regarding 1t are
"Thick as autumn leaves in Vallombrosa."
II will be remembered that last year this
town was made the rendezvous for the inya-
ding forces, and after the fasco in Canada no
less than two thousand five hundred Fenlans
were congregated here, where their principal
officers were arrested by the troops under the
orders of General Meade. The citizens speak in
the highest term of praise as TO the quiet and
ORDERLY manner in which the Invaders" con-
Quoted themselves; and judging from the fire.
quent expressions of opinion that have
heard here, teel no hesitancy in saying that
the people of Malone have most decided sym.
pathy with the movement. The population OF
this town and county (Franklln) is made up In
large part of Irishmen, the greater portion OF
whom are in that condition of life iamiliarly
known as "Well-todo."
As mleht naturally be expected, the Brother
hood had a host of adherents here-more, pro-
baby, in proportion TO its population than any
other county IN the State. Fenian orations,
Fenian meetings, and Fenian balls (for many OF
dependency are not rarities among the people
of Malone. There is something in the name:
too, that smacks of Celticism; and scrutiny OF
