Ths PsriIs Of the Hour.

The Washington IBtsltigenesr says
Six years ago we drilled into the war
because the American people would not
believe that any Of the public men we're
mad enough to prefer running the conn.
try to abandoning their own self-willed
purpose The same danger threatens
today. The majority in Congress are
bent on tyrannic rule, without regard to
The Constitution. They are trampling
on its provisions on the pretext that they
do not apply to rebels, and laugh at the
idea that the people will resist sooner
than have the solemn guarantees OF that
instrument eontemptuously overthrown.
Does not every wise man see that the
RepubHo Is sorslY threatened I Oar
Congressional leaders say that they are
acting in perfect aocordanoe with the
Constitution. But in all controversies

Save Our Young Men.

From what? Not from hard work
and exhausting toll for this is the ap-
pointed lot of man, and we should not
expect to escape it; by this, right char
acter is formed, and the earth brought to
yield her riches. Not from protracted
and close study, for thus only are at
tainments made, brain power developed, /,
and the professions filled with able men.
Not from rigid economy, sears of toll,
and slow increase cf wealth for this is
far better than fortunes made in an hour.
But save them from the follies of fash
ionable society, the destinations of the
gaming table, and especially from the
insidous, fearful curse, intemperance.
Oh, it is burning out the very vitals OF
morality and manliness in hundred So
cial circles. 1t is destroying by thou
sands the youth in our best families. 1t

A Fighting Preacher.

The Argus, printed at Montpelier,
Vermont, gives the particulars OF reg
ular rough and tumble fight, the parties
being a preacher and blacksmith,
which occurred in that sanity neighbor-
hood recently. and in which the black
smith got hammered. We let the Argus
tell the story in its own way
Up at Newport Centre there has been
much angry feeling over religious mat
ters, those engaging in the controversy
seemingly dispensing with the gospeei,
the culmination having been reached
January 8th, when Rev. Mulford Bullard
and s. s. Call, blacksmith, had rough
and tumble fight in the shop where Can
was at work. They got into q discussion,
became heated, and Call used hard Ian,
guage, and then came the fight Call
testified in Court that Bullard seized him
from behind, threw him down so that
his head struck upon sleigh, and IN
sisted that he should stop preaching
his Advent doctrines and that
upon his declining to do so, Builard
again cOmmtuceu JuHhAhS hiS
upon the floor, and striking him with his
fist about the head and face, he in the
meantime crying murder and calling
for help. Bullard testified to snbstan-
tally the same thing, except that he
claimed that Call struck at him with
red hot iron, that then he clinched in,
and that he did not ask Call if he would
stop preaching his doctrine, but did ask
him if he would stop abusing him, which
not being promised he applied little
more discipline. The point as to which
struck the first blow was the disputed
one, but the weight of evidence was
against the preacher, who was fined $50
and costs, making total of $24 81.
Call had his head and face badly bruised,
and one eye beautifully blacked, having
evidently come off second best. Billiard
escaped with burn on his hand, and a
hole or two burned in his cap The
lawyers are likely to reap harvest out
of this disgrace of religion and disregard
for law and good order, as both of the
parties have brought suits against each
other for heavy damages.

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Times, writing from Virginia, gives re-
ports that the probabilities are in favor
OF there being a majority Of negro
voters In that State. And he says that
this state of things Is due to the refusal
of many OF the whites to register them
selves under the Military Bill. Itis be-
Iieved that about 10000 negro voters
have been registered, while the whites,
who could have registered TO the mum
Der OF Is, 900. are, according to the COM
putation now made, several thousand
behind the blacks. That the negroes
will act compactly in politics, and make
strenuous attempts 10 elect their own
especial representatives, black or white,
there is little doubt; and that much bit
terness of feeling between the Two races
will Ce engeudered in the contest for
political supremacy, Is evident from
The present course of things. Our cor
respondent remarks that the Large
prepouderance OF registered blacks
over whites, in portion Oi Eastern
Virginia, has filled the people with
gloom and alarm. The reprosches
which are visited upon the delinquent
whites are very severe, and the lndIG-
nation which is everywhere felt against
the blind and senseless newspapers
which have nisled the white men INTO
SO deplorable bIunder and crime as
turning over Virginia to the power OF
the negroes, pervades every part OF the
country"

THE MEXICAN DEBT, about which SO
much has been said, and which was
spoken of In connection with the inva-
sion of that country, is not very for
midaole. That portion due abrOad,
and which constitutes nearly the whole
of the debt, amounts 10 about sa5, ,O00,-
600, OF which S75, 1000, 900 is due to En-
GlIshnen. The msjority OF the latter
will be content If they get their interest
regularly paid. Nearly all the debt is
at three per cent. interest, and an
official document puts the whole of the
Interest money payable abroad at S2,-
T6O, 900 per anuum. The ordinary an
uual expenditures OF the Mexican Gov
ernmeni are not much above eight and
n quarter millions. The internal debt,
prior TO the late war, was nearly ex-
tlnguished by the sales of church pro-
pertY. II will be seen, therefore, that
IA moderate revenue, compared with
the undoubied resources of the country.
and ordinary good management, will
suffi ce to place Mexico on II safe fnan-
ciAl footing. AS the debts contracted
by MAximilisn's government will
doubtless be repudiated, the financial
burdens of Mexico Will not be very
heavy, if they have manhood and en-
terprise 10 avail themselves OF the OPP
portuuity, aud develop the rich re-
sources OF their country.
