One Of our exchanges, the Jacksonville
Glls.) Sentinel, sets this forth in a light
SO very clear that we transfer its remarks
entire to our columns, and endorse them
as sound and judicious, and commend
them to the consideration Of business men
everywhere. Says the Sentinel:
business men who have sought to make
their business known to the public by
means Of posters, cards and letter circu-
lars arc fully aware that these are the
auxiliary means, and that It involves
much trouble to give printed bills a gen.
cral circulation among the mass Of the
people. If sent aingly to individuals
through the mails, they rest quietly in a
bunch justasif they we're not scht. Ifpost-

Arrest orJohn mosgipsey,

BY our dispatches this morning, it will
be noticed that Hon. John Morrissey,
member of Congress elect from New York
was arrested on Saturday, m a complaint
Of Mr.. Nelson OdeIl, who swore that he
had been swindled out of $35, 900 by Mr..
Morrisey, and divers others, within one
year. The Toledo Blade remarks that
"this affair may possibly interfere with
Mr.. Morrissey's Congressional aspira-
tons" We are not the a~pologists Of mr..
Morrissey's conduct, nor were wethe adj
vocatc of his nomination or his election.
but if such an affair is to unfit him for a
member ofCongress, we would like to see
the test applied to Ben. Butler, and num-
bers Of others, who have not only swim
died private individuals out of thousands
of dollars, but the Government likewise
out of hundreds Of thousands.
For instance, G. G. Culver, an Honora.
ble Radical member of Congress from
Pennsylvania, engaged 50 extensively in
specuIations, beyond his means, that his
collapse well nigh ruined its thousands.
Did the Blade cry out in holy horror
against Mr.. Cs taking his seat In the last
COHHTess We answer In the negative.
On the contrary, it sympathized with the
scoundeel, and attempted to exoncrate
him from the criIle. And now when Mr..
&. il under indictment and lodged 10 pris-
on, we find the co-laborers cslli9g upon
Congress to take some action In the mat
ter, and take him from under the law and
bring him before that body, &c. Again,

tice Of the United States, was Secretary
Of the Treasury, he gave his son-fh.law.

A Costly NUIsANCE.-We learn from
an official report just published, that
there were on duty, connected with the
Freedmen's Bureau, prior to April 1st,
'66, three hundred aud sixty-eight Blu
reau officers, consisting Of one Major
General, seven Brigadier Generals, nine
Colonels, seven Lieutenant Coloasls,
t~wenty-nine Majors, one numbered and
f~fty-seven Captains, and one hundred and
ffty-eight Lieutenants, the aggregate pay,
per month, being S45 ,099, or S541,1SS
per annum. All this money comes out
of the pockets of the hard-working white
laborers and others, who pay taxes for the
benefit of the New England Radical bag
gage-smashers," who provide the Major
Generals, the Colonels, the L~ieutenants.
etc. The pretext is, to benefit the freed
men-but the pretext cannot be sustained
by facts. The freedmen, the white man,
everybody South, would get along better
without, than with this Bureau-yet not
~withstanding all that, Mr.. Senator Wilson
gives notice of bill to continue the nuts
ance. 1t ought to be entitled san act to
take-millions of dollars out of the
pockets of northern Eorkingmen, for the
benefit of the Loyal Leaguers of Massa-

One of the soldiers has lost a leg, and is over
six feet high another has lost q leg and an

pensioners have pet names given them by

be found who would contribute q crltch to a
disabled veteran soldier.

Mr.. AND MRs. JOHN G. KEENAN,
EHeenan is living quietly a. the Metropol-
titan Hotel, in New York. Of his wife
it is said She is widely known for her
public readings in many of our large cit
les a few years ago. She was then just
passing into Womanhood, and those who
remember her girlish figure and lady-like
manners, will hardly believe that the same
is now Mrs. John C. Heenap. How the
bruised and battered pugilist ever won
her affections is a mystery especially to
those who knew her when she was a very
pretty, child-like school girl, the beloved
daughter of highly aristocratie parents in
Michigan.

A curiosity, or what is next akin to a
curiosity, has made its appearance at this
Office, a paper, a newspaper, called "The
State Rights Democrat" Who would
have thought it? State Rights Demo-
crat! There are democrats, " SO called,
enough, such as they are, and there's
enough, of them unless they were better,
but a State Rights Democrat belongs rath-
er to the things that mere.
However, the publishers of this live
away out at Albany, Oregon, and if the
paper did not bear so many marks of tai
emf and industry, one might suppose they
never "heard the news" But they have.
It must be admitted they have heard it,
in part at least, and in face of all the
facts to which Progress" has given rise
or has developed, these men deliberately
go forward Publishing a paper called

Stanton is said to have given it as his
opinion, that the late decision of the Su-
preme Court of the United State, neces-
sarily carries with it the overthrow of the
Freedmen's Bureau. IF so, we presume
the people will not be very sorry, for its
overthrow will a them about twelve
millions of dollars a year, in taxes. And
if the army which is now quartered upon
the peaceful people of the South goes with
the Bureau, it will a the tax payers
several millions more. Thus, as law is
vindicated, radicalism goes down. A
good many millions may be saved to the
people, every year, if the ubiquitous
measures of radicalism can defeated.

How They Take Care OF Them
selves.

Hon. WIN. p. Fessendon, of Maine, is
one Of the leaders of the Radicals in the
United States Senate. From the follow
ing, from tho Washington correspondence
Of the Commercial, he evidently believes
that he who does not take care Of his
household is worse than an inidel. The
correspondent says:
"Let me point you to tho most conspic-
nous gentleman in that body-Mr. Fes-
sender, of Maine. Hath he denied the
faith2 Hath he provided not for his own ?
Lot tho following facts suffice: s. g. Fes-
sender, Chief Examiner Of the Patent Of
fec, at u salary of 50, 500 a year-brother
of the Senator: Joseph Fessenden, Post
master at Lewiston, Maine, 81 5000 a year
brother of the Senator: Charles Fessen-
den, Surgeon Of Maine Hospital, at Port
land, Maine, $4,000 a year-brother Of
the Senator; Daniel w. Fesscnden, Clerk
of the Supreme Conrt of Portland, Maine,
salary s2,000-brother of the Senator: Z.
d. Fessenden, County Attorney for An
d~roscoggin county Maine, salary SO, 900
brother of the Senator; Hewitt Fessepden,
Assistant in the Custom House at East
port, Maine, big salary-brother of tho
Senator. Then as to sons, there is Gen
eral Frank Fessenden, who was wounded
at Gettysburg and afterward promoted to
Brigadicr in tho regular army and retired
on full pay, while those whose relatives
had denied the faith were put on the pen
sion-roll without any Promotion. Capt.
Samuel Fessendep IN the regular army, is
stationed at Fortress Monroe. Hon. Ed
ward Fox, United States District Judge,
ii. blaine, is a brother in-law Of the Soma
tor. VIM. F~essenden, n cousin Of the
Senator was appointed paymastcr in tho
army, but for some human frailty was dis
missed; though cast down, he was rot for
ssken, for the Senator got him in a Treas
ury clerkship at 81 800 . year. Thus We
have brothers, sons, brother-in-law. cou.
sins, all provided for. Aunts aud u%ncles,
and graudmothers too, no doubt, were the
beautiful truth fully known. BEethcreu
