A nice little story is told of General
Washington by Parton, which will be fresh
TO many of our readers, and will show him
(to wives) in the light of model husband 4:
The General and his wife lived happily
together, but it is evident that, like most
heiresses5sshe was a little exacting, and il is
highly probable that the great Washington
was sometimes favored with curtain lecture.
The celebrated author, Miss Bremen, relates
thata gentleman once slepta at Mount Vernon
IN theroom next to that occupied by the mas
ter and mistress ofthe mansion; and when all
the inmates were in bed, and the house was
still, he overheard, thro' the thin partition,
the voice of Mrs. Washington. He could
not but listen, and 1t was curtain lecture
which she was giving her lord. He had
done something during the day which she
thought ought to have been done differently,
and she was giving him her opinion in
somewhat animated and quite decided tones
The great man listened in silence till she
had done, and then, without a remark upon
the subject in hand said
"Now, good sleep to you, my dear"
1t is plain the General believed that at
takes two TO quarrel"

THEColumbus Journal recently COM
planned because of the great number of
original articles reprinted by some pa
pers, without given due credit. The
journal knows that there are men who
like to pass themselves of as intellec-
tnal giants, but which intellectual worth
Is like the clothes they wear, borrowed.
The journal has foreibly reminded us
OF one of our exchanges, last summer,
which made its appearance with an able
editorial on Reconstruction. We be-
gan to read the article, but knowing
the inferior abilities of the editor, we
mad doubts as to its origin. We read
further and became convinced that
We had seen the identical article some
where. This led us to make a little
examination, and without much trou-
bic, we soon found that the article men.
toned above was the leading editorial
OF Harper's Weekly of the previous
week We always feel that if an orig
inal article from our exchanges is
worth republishing, it is also wortI
due credit, but this treatment is mo-
even extended to some of our poor
productions. Dishonesty is not con
fined to pecuniary matters alone
Shakespeare says, "One half of tht
world is dishonest, the other half no
to be trusted"

Magnanimols-in a horn.

Both the National and State legisla-
lures have passed laws increasing the
compensation men who have been
serving the country in embroidered
slippers and broad cloth, but the hum
bic soldier, who exposed his life to
the bullets and bayonets of traitors, re
receives but very little attention. There
seems to be general loathing in ap-
preaching this subject, and yet in our
mind, there's nothing which is entitled
to more attention and regard, than the
interest of those who have been disa-
bled in the defense Of our beloved
Government and country. There are
mothers and children, whose brave
husbands and fathers fell upon a hun
dred battle fields, who ought to be am
ply provided for. Let us not forget
the claims Of the soldier, the wants OF
his dear ones and the great services he
has rendered to our country and to
each one of us.

The n. 7. Herald's present sensation
is the impeachment Of the President.
It says:
After playing the role of an Empe-
ror in pulling down and setting up
States and Governors, and in punish
ing his enemies and receiving and re
warding his worshippers, Mr.. johnson
shrinks from the idea Of exchanging
the White House and it's glorious eX-
citements for the solitary confinement
of his cottage among the mountains OF
East Tennessee. odd Dick Johnson,
who had seen the troubles of Jackson,
said that the presidency was not thing
to be sought, but it was not to be de-
clined John Tyler in the White
House was 'the happy man, and he had
reason to be. Poor Pierce in the ole
barn was troubled with the summer
drawback of fever and ague, but still
he wanted another term. odd Buck
set down the establishment as an aims
house where broken down politicians
swarmed for the spoils, and as a public
hotel where the traveller had nothing
to pay; but still odd Buck left it with
many sighs, groans, and lamentations
Even Honest Old Abe who cared no
thing for it's silks and satins, bells, anG
butterflies cheerfully accepted his elec
ton for the second term. And now
since it has been furnished and fres
coed more spledidly even than under
| Van Buren,. how can Mr.. johnson bt
expected to give up the White HOUSE
for his policy, when his policy, lik'
one of the Hon Ben. Woods lotteries
is played out"

WASHINGTON.

WASH1NGION.
Tomorrow is the birthday of the
Father of our Country There never
lived man who more justly receives
the almost universal reverence of the
enlightened world Napoleon may
have been better soldier in some
particular instances, (Which we very
much doubt, but even Napoleon
could not have done better than Wash
ington, with the same means and un-
der the same circumstances. But we
must not regard Washington only in
q military point of view, but take into
consideration his whole character, and
when this is done, the whole world
furnishes no other model of such no.
BILE manhood as that of Washington.
Parents, we beseech you to see that
your children become familiar with the
admirable traits of our glorious Geo.
Washington. We add the following
tribute to his character, by Professor
Frost:
"The language and department OF
this truly great man were in general
remarkably exempt from every strain OF
irregular vehemence and every symp-
tom ofindeliberate thought ;,dlsclosing
an even tenor of steadfast propriety,
an austere but graceful simplicity,
sound considerate sense and prudence,
the gravity Of a profound understand
ing and habitual reflection, and the
tranquil grandeur of an elevated soul.
Of this moral superiority, as of all hui
man virtue, part was the fruit of wise
discipline and resolute self-cotrol; for
Washington was naturally passionate
and irritable, and had increased the
vigor and authority of every better
quality of his mind by the conquest
and subsection of those rebellious Ell
ements of it's composition. Calm,
moderate, and reserved, yet dignified,
intrepid, infexibly firm, and persever-
ing; indefatigably Industrious and
methodical just, but merciful and hu-
name; frugal and calculating, yet dis
iterested; circumspect, yet enterpris-
iRg; serious, virtuous, consistent, tenn
perate, and sincere-his moral portrai-
ture displays blended variety of ex
cellence, in which it is difficult to as
sign predominant lustre to any par
ticular grace, except perhaps a grave
majestic composure. Ever superior
to fortune, he enjoyed her smiles with
moderation, endured her frowns with
serenity, and showed himself alike in
victory forbearing, and in defeat un-
daunted. No danger or difficulty
could disturb his equanimity, and no
disaster paralyze his energy or dis
hearten his confdenre. The same ad-
verse vicissitude that would have
drained an ordinary breast Of all its
spirit served but. to call forth new
streams of vigor from Washington S
generous soul His countenance and
and general aspect corresponded with
the impression produced by his char
acter. Fixed, firm, collected, and re-
solved, yet considerably kind, it seem
composed for dignity and exploit. A
sound believer in the, divine doctrine
Of Christianity, he was punctual and
devout in discharging every public and
private office Of Christian piety. Per
haps there never was another man who
trod with more unsullied honor the
highest ways of glory, or whose per
sonal character and conduct exercised
an influence so powerful and benefi-
clal on the destiny of great nation

The Richmond Enquirer, says the O.
5. Journal, in speaking of the Presi
dents new plan, betrays the animous
Of the Southern feeling more plainly
than on any previous occasion. Re
ferring to the second section, it says,
1.-THE terms do not embrace the Confed-
crate debt, and would not bind ourfaith
as the Confederacy was neither an in
surrection nor O rebellion" and throws
ont the idea that because the section
on that ground it was, it is "offensiye,' -
and honorable men, cannot "recog-
it as applicable to the South. 1t is
clear that the Enquirer has no notion
ofrepudiating the rebel debt, wherein,
it is equally clear, it speaks for a con.
siderable portion Of the Southern peo-
pie.

There is much talk about the tyrrany
and monopoly Of railroads. While in
some instances railroad companies
act very unjustly, communities do not
appreciate the great value and impor-
tance of railways. We know Of towns
that have grown rich in few years
that would to-day be unknown outside
of the counties in which they are To-
Gated, had it not been for railroads.
We know of others that are languishine
because they are isolated from rail
ways. We would not live where there
are no railroads, if we could avoid it

President Johnson's new plan ofre-
construction favors negro suftage, sub
stantially, as advocated by Horace
Greedy but contains nothing to make
treason odious- Its offered as sub
stitute for the Congressional PLAN
The President is progressing a little
toward right, which is acceptable SO
far as he goes, but we earnestly hope
that Congress will firmly adhere to its
own plan. The Republican party must
never yield to the unholy demands OF
Southern rebels, and their sympathizel
in the North. 1t is pure cursedness to
listen to traitors and murderers.

Copperheads make great pretensions
Of love for Gen. Grant nowadays. We
suppose the General understands them
as he had good opportunities for
learning their sentiments during the
war 1t will not be many years before
these vile hypocrites will claim that
they crushed out the rebellion. This
forcibly reminds lis of the original cop
perhead who took Christ up to high
place and showed him his possessions.

What is the matter with the Cgm
Commercial? From the broad incon-
sistency exhibited in its editorials, we
are led to infer at there is a multi
pliclty Of editors connected with it,
each of whom entertain opinions at
varience with the others. One day it
speaks approvingly Of Congress, the
next it growls and raves at it. Mack
is kept at Washington fabricating sen
sational communications, (some Of
which are lies, which the Commercial
publishes and the Copperhead papers
reproduce them as sound Democratic
doctrines. 1t favors negro suffrage
and brands all who don't fall into its
ranks as towards, but dispises Radicals.
We conclude that it is troubled with
what might be called-political spleen
