A RADICAL VIEW OF A PoLu1cAL PRzAoH1R
We are glad to see that the House Of Represents
tives is still to enjoy the invaluable services Of Rev
Mr.. Boynton, as chaplain. It is that gentleman's
habitual practice to thank the Almighty pretty
regularly for whatever may have been done in
Congress, which accords with his own views ofpo-
ltical and party propriety, and in this way the
members are properly posted as to his opinion OF
their acts. As the chaplain has no other mode Of
making political speeches in the House, not being
a member thereof, it is exceedingly clever in him
to have discovered so excellent dodge. Weob-
served that in Thursday opening prayer, he offer
ed resolution of thanks for the establishment Of
universal negro ge.-Neo York Times.

CONVICTION OF A CITIZEN BY MILITARY CON-
M1ss1oN-Before military tribunal, convened at
Columbia, by order of Gen. Candy, John McGin-
mis-, citizen, was arraigned on the charge of vio
lating so much Of General Order No. 10, as pro-
hibits the carrying of deadly weapons It appears
from the testimony, that he snapped navy re-
volver at one soldier and threatened to shoot an
other. He was found guilty, but to conform the
sentence in measure to the spirit Of the State
law, it was commuted to stand as follows: To be
confined at hard labor for the period of six months
and to pay fine of five hundred dollars; which
price, if unpaid, will be expiated by further i'm
prisonment, at the rate of $25 per month. Fort
Macon is the place designated for his confinement.

WEALTHY CoLoRED MEN--The following par
agraph is going the rounds of the press: ~,
sThere are two colored men in Georgetown, d.
G., named Lee and Conner, who are said to be
worth fifty thousand dollars each; the first keeps
feed store, and the second is teamster." ~, "
The persons referred to are Alfred Lee, the feed
dealer, resident of Georgetown, who is well
known throughout this District, where he is much
respected, and whose property may be safely set
down at figure nearer 800, 900 than $50, 900,
and John Cornell (not Conner), a teamster, also.
q resident in Georgetown, where he has many
friends among the whites, whose fortune does not
reach the latter amount Besides these there are
os~s,>l- >ta..- =
here who have accumulated fortunes by industry
and prudence. Alfred Jones, well known feed
dealer, of this city, is one of these and he has,
probably, made more money here than any other
colored man except Alfred Lee. 1stt
It may be added that the prominent colored men
above named have persistently refused to waste
their time and money in the unremunerative busi-,
ness of dabbling with local politics, and therecords
Of ward meetings will be searched in vain for any
mention Of their sayings and doinga- Washagtos

A STARTLING EVENT.

An affair has eliminated at Columbus, Missis-
sippi, which seems the beginning of the end The
country around having been first exhausted by
stealth and robbery, an organized and armed band
of negro marauders has marched into the city and
demanded breadi A company of United States
regulars has dispersed them and protected the citi
zens for the time But what Of that, and what
next? Is it possible for the United States troops
to keep down three hundred thousand vagrant and
starving negroes2 A hundred thousand men dis
persed to the best possible advantage for that pur
pose will prove wholly insufficient. One Of three
things must be done speedily-either the whites
must abandon the country, or the negroes be driven
out of it, or efficient vagrant laws must be enacted
and enforced and the labor of the blacks compelled.
There is no time to lose. Men that will not work
and must eat, will fight for bread and if white
men have it, they must fight to defend it. Ii
prompt measures are not taken war Of races is no
myth but an inevitable reality, which is upon us.
We have repeatedly called attention to these
facts and we trust the warning will notbe without
its instant effect to stir the Northern mind and in
duce the President to place the South under mill
tary rule at once. Columbus is hardly an excep-
ton. Outlawry is universally triumphant all over
our States, and we are without Republican Gov
ernment in every one of them. We subjoin the
following summary from the Aralanehe:.
ssFor some time great deal of dissatisfaction
has existed among the freedmen in the neighbor-
hood of Columbus, Miss. They had quit work and
left the fields white with cotton, and would not
pluck boil, the reason given for such action being
that their share of the crop would not pay their
penses for the year, owing to the tax on the staple
and the low price to which it had fallen. As soon
as they refused to work, as matter of course they
had to leave the plantations and give up their
houses to other laborers who would work. They
then took to the woods, and commenced system
of discriminate pilfering and stock killing. About
two hundred of them have been assembled in the
neighborhood of Columbus, Mississippi, since the
beginning of the election, and had become per
feet nuisance and terror to the neighborhood. At
the request of the citizens, company OF United
States troops had been stationed at Columbus, tor
the protection of the lives and property Of the peo
pie. When this band Of vagabondlzed negroes
had exhausted the country Of everything which was

THE MOON AND BABIES.

The moon is thought by old wives to influence
the life of child Thus the child born on the
first day of the new moon is fortunate in all its un
dertakings, and will live long; one born on the
fifth day, will be vain and deceitful; one born on
the sixth will live long; one born on the 7th will
have life of trouble; one born on the ninth will
be rich one born on the tenth will be great
traveller; one born on the eleventh will be devoted
to religion one born on the sixteenth will be CRATE
full and unfortunate one born on the eighteenth
will be brave; one born on the nineteenth will be
full of malice; one born on the twentyfrst will be
strong and healthy, but selfish; one born on the
twenty-second will be cheerful, but inclined to low
society; one born on the twenty third will be un.
governable, will forsake family and friends and
wander in foreign country-unhappy through
life; one born on the twenty fourth will have ex
traordinary ability; one born on the twenty-ffth
will be desperately wicked and come to fearful
death; one born on the twenty will be
amiable; one born on the thirtieth will have the
acme of all good gifts, temporal and spiritual.
A baby's nails must never be cut till it is a year
DID, or it will be thief A child with a blue vein
across its nose will never wear its wedding clothes
should it chance to outlive its infancy it will bring
sonow and disgrace to all belonging to it. A babe
that cries at its christening will not live long; if
you bathe it on Sunday it will be SORROW free if
on Wednesday, it will grow fat, if on Friday, al
its sins will be forgiven if on Saturday, it will be
unhealthy.
There are certain other superstitons applying to
the town people: IF you cut your nails on Sunday
it provokes Monsieur le Diable to such degree
that he'll shave you all the week, andlead you into
mischief. If you clip your hair at the new moon,
it will grow long at the full; as the moon wanes
your hair will fall out IF you don new clothes on
Sunday you'll be happy; if on Monday, they'll
tear; if on Tuesday, they'll burn; if on Wednes-
day, you'll have plenty if on Friday, you'll be
unlucky; if on Saturday, you won't live to enjoy
them. Every one, silently or openly, is little sus-
picious regarding Friday, yet few could give rea-

REDUCTION OF THROUGH FRE1eHrs TO New

REDUCTION OF THROUGH FRMaRH 10 New
YoRK.-Thursday last, MesHs Magrath and
Peake, the President and Superintendent respect
lively, of the South Carolina Railroad, and repre-
sentatives of the Georgia, Western and Atlantic,
Atlantic and West Point, Montgomery and West
Point, Nashville and Chattanooga, and Memphis
and Charleston Railroads, and several representa-
tives of the steamship lines plying between New
York and this city, met by appointment in Allan
ia, for the purpose Of agreeing upon some reduc-
ton of through freights by the steamers. It was
finally concluded to reduce the through rate upon
cotton from one cent per pound to seventy-ave
cents per hundred pounds, which was immediately
put in operation. An effort was also made to es.
tablish fast through freight line, and to form
tariff by which corn could be shipped, on charges
made per car load, instead Of forty-fve cents per
hundred as heretofore; but no agreement was
reached, although it is altogether probable that
both Of the propositions viii prevail at no distant

p6rDr. Livingstone, the African traveller, re-
ported at the Cape Of Good Hope, in February
last, to have been killed by the Cares, has at last
been heard from. His presumed death created
much excitement and sorrow; several British as
sociations took public notice of the matter the
British Government sent vessel to the Cape to
inquire into it, and if the Doctor ever returns to
England, he can pass many pleasant weeksin read

THE DRUNKARD's DAUGHTER.

THE DRUNKARD'S DAUGHTER.
Out in the street with naked feet
saw the drunkard's little daughter;
Her tattered shawl was thin and small;
She little knew, for no one taught her.
Her skin was fair, her auburn hair
Was blown about her aching forehead;
Her sad white face wore sorrows trace,
And want and woe that were not borrowed.
Heart broken child, she seldom smiled;
Hope promised her no brighter morrow
Or, if its light flashed on her night,
Then up came darker clouds OF sorrow.
She softly said, ''We have no bread,
No wood to keep the fire burning"
The child was ILL., the wind 80 chill
Her thin, cold blood to ice was turning.
But men we'll fed and warmly clad,
And ladies robed in richest fashion,
Passed on the side where no one cried
To them for pity or compassion.
That long night fed, and then the light
OF rosy day in beauty shining,
Set dome and spire and roof on fire,
And shone on one beyond repining.
Asleep-alone-as cold as stone,
Where no dear parent ever sought her;
In winding sheet Of snow and sleet,
Was found the drunkard's hfeless daughter.

l. TORONTO, January 3.-CoI. Lynch is out in a

luctanty obliged to notice a slanderons editorial
in that paper, every word of which is an unmlti-
gated falsehood and that such yituperation could
only emanate from paid hirelings, living on the
honest earnings of their country He states,
and challenges contradiction, that from the I'd of
June the one hundred prisoners here never, directly
or indirectly, received assistance from the Fenian
headquarters, or other source, except small sum
from F. o, Day, of Buffalo, for Buffalo prisoners.
He states that he wrote to P. q. Day to call the
attention of the Fenian authorities to the case,
but nothing was done, and that the editorial in
the New York Tribune about a special agent be-
ing sent, who called on the American consul here
and preferred relief, had not one word of truth
in it. So +" 800
