with marabouts upon il; and hearing bells
now jngling near, they both arrange their
curls-there's Bobby driving up. he's come
sleighing of the. girls. And bow, beneath
the wolf robe they tuck their pretty feet,
while Ger the reins, with wondrouS pains,
Bobby reins SO neat-the horses SO gaily
dressed, their harness all complete-my gra

the street and Bobby also cuts swell, and
cuts the horses. too and cnts his poor ac-
quaintances as crowds he passes through

New York, April 25.-The Herald's
Vera Cruz correspondence says that Mar
que2, who escaped from Queretaro, arrived
from the city of Mexico at Puebla with
four thousand men. After its capture by the
Liberals, fight ensued, in which the I'm
perialists were defeated The situation of
the Imperialists at Queretaro was horrible,
they holding only two streets of the place.
Maximilian was still there. Persons COM
ing out of the city for the purpose of OBJ
tanning food, are shot down.
The Herald's correspondence says that
the Red Revolutionists were in council in
Brussels, with the General Prince appear
ing as the animatiDg spirit of grand rev.
dictionary caucus attended by representa-
tives from France, Spain, Italy, Rome and
Ireland The plans of immediate repub-
hcan movements in Rome. Spain and
Great Britain, were discussed.
The two suits against General Wool for
false Imprisonment during his military
governing at Baltimore in 1861, and two
recently pending before the United States
District Court of that city, have been de-
cided by awarding both plaintiffs one cent
each as damages.
The Herald's special says 1t is proba-
bic that the trial of Surratt will not come
of, as an impression prevails among the
adherents of the Administration, that his
mother was innocent Of the crime for which
she was executed, and the trial of the son
would only make the fact more apparent.
The Times special says: The internal
revenue receipts are now averaging about
100000 per day, and for the month Of
April win reach 100000. The aggre-
gate receipts for the present fiscal wear to
date are two hundred and twenty-six mil
lions.

eight or ten ruffians armed with clubs,
under cover of darkness, went TO the house
of Mr.. Lester, peaceable and law-abiding
citizen, broke open the doors, rushed into
the house, and dragged him from the bed
where he was sleeping in the embrace of
his wife, took him outside and tied him to

over the head, face and body until they

A POPULAR PLAN TO PAY OFF THE
NATIONAL. DEBT. 7ri

From the CINCINNATI Enquirer.
The oppressive taxation and its injurious
effects upon business and industry is now
creating a great deal of talk and discussion
and different popular remedies have been
suggested to meet theevil The last we have
heard was this, proposed among quite an au
dience of Indiana farmers, casually drawn
together, and of different politics. 1t was
suggested that, in order TO relieve the people
of the one hundred and eighty millions of
dollars which we are paying on the bonds in
interest, that the whole principle be imme-
diate paid off by an issue of a sufficient
amount ofgreenbackc currency in legal-tender
Thus the debt would be transferred from the
hands of the few who charge immense inter-
est for it into those of the many who will
charge none. 1t is true the greenbacks are
not on par with gold, but neither was the
money which the bond-holders originally
lent the government. In fact the money
lent the government was then worth only
forty or fifty cents on a dollar, in gold,
whereas now greenbacks are double that
rate. 1t was believed, AZ our informant
assures us, by the farmers present, that the
greatest benefit woud be derived from the
issue of this large amount of currency into
the channel of circulation. They were
convinced it wonld relieve the depression
which now prevails, stimulate enterprise.
increase the price of labor, and greatly add
to the prosperity of the country. Our in
formant, who has travelled extensively
through the West, il convinced that nothing
would be more popular than this scheme
to Immediately pay off the national debt,
thus diminishing our taxation by from one
half to third, and greatly adding 10 finan-
cial ease and enterprise.

How they Invade she liberties OF the
COiOred PeOPle-A Wholesome Warn

From the Knoxville Commercial.


From the Knoxville Commercial
During the progress of the war it became
a military necessity, and Abraham Lincoln
issued his emancipation proclamation, and
the colored citizens became free. Rut alas,
by the song Of the syren large proportion
of the colored citizens of Tennessee have
lost their liberty, and they are again
enslaved. The colored man in all the
other States is free. He IS free to act for him
self free to think for himself, free 10 cote for
rhom he pleGses, and in each and every
particular, he is free man. But it is not
80 in Tennessee. We have class of men
who came among the colored citizens with
what they call League. These men, by
deception, persuaded the colored man that
the League was good for him to Join, and
hy fair promises they succeeded in getting
large numbers to sign away their liberties
and to place themselves in worse bondage
than that which they had Just been re-
leased from by the emancipation proelama-
ton.
When the colored man joins the League,
he then by solemn oath swears away his
liberty. He can then no longer act for
himself-he can no longer vote as he
pleases, and support such measures as his
Judgment shall convince him is best for his
own interests, and wly2 He has slcora
an oath to do as these League managers tell
him to DO. lie has stcorn an oath to vote
for Just who, and what, the League tell
him he must vote for. lie has su0rn an
oath that he is no longer free man, but
that the LeaSue governs and controls him,
and hold him as their slave. lie has
sworn an oath, that he is not capable OF be-
ing a free man, and. therefore, he swears
70 let the League 10 his thinking-his
acting, aud his voting, because he must
vote rs they say. He swears that he will
not be free man, but a slave toIhe League.
Little did the colored man know what a
trap had been set for him, when he Joined
the League. Little did he dream
that, by so doing, he was selling
his liberties, and his manhood, 10
future i'll forhimself. as truly as ever mortal
sold his soul TO perdiiion. These leagues
are formed by designing men 10 control the
weak minded and ignorant, and 70 make
them their servants and tools, aud as soon
As the men who control them have accom-
plished their own selfish purposes, they
laugh at the victims Of their treachery, and
the League has answered the purpose for
which il was brought into existence, and
becomes thing of the past.
Colored men OF East Tennessee. Won who
have not fallen into the snare, shun II as
yJu would the poison of the upas tree.
You Who have been caught, and are now
held IN bondage, assert your rights As free
men. and regain your Liberties a. soon as
von can. IL does not become any race OF

to the ballot box, and made 10 vote as a
