CoPPERHEADIsM RAMPANT IN WASHING
roN.-Says a Washington correspondent.
under date Of Sept. Z In this city the rebel
spi rit is more rampant than at any time
since 1861. In the Departments the rebel
sympathizing clerks who kept their peace
during the war by concealing their princi-
pies, are now outspoken in their hostility to
the Government. and Republican clerks are
daily threatened by them with dismissal. l
know an instance of a Copperhead from
Kentucky who has been in the Department
only three months being promoted over Re-
publican clerks of more capacity, longer en-
perience, and against whom no complaint
has ever been made. In the places of public
resort no Republican can openly defend his
principles without danger of being assaulted
BY some ku Klux ruttian. The poor col
ored man suffers equally with the whites.
Only last night quiet, inotIensive colnred
man, while on his way to his regular bust
tess, was assaulted by five VIII ite rufians
without any provocation whatever. They
cut his throat with knife and left him to
bleed to death. Thus early does the animus
OF the rebel Democracy manifest itself
Fortunate for the Union people it is so for
every outrage increases Grants majority.
Vermont has given the key note of the cam
pagn-in every State an increased Republi
can vote.

The San Francisco Chronicle which is a
particularly wide awake little newspaper,
maintaining its q independence ," says The
Chronicle would not be either more or less
Independent than it is if it supported Sey-
mOur instead of Grant. 1t would not be in
dependent at all if it supported neither. We
do not propose to play the miserable part of
a whittier or a timeserver, in crisis like
this and we do not mean to try to keep mp
a wretched show of fairness and impartIality
by picking little at one side. and then bal
ancing the account By picking little at the
Other. BY the time the public are little
better acquainted with Us, they will discover
and appreciate the quality Of our indie
pendence.

Generation af.er generation" says a
line writer, have felt as we now feel. and
their lives were as active as our own They
passed like vapor, while nature wore the
same aspect of beauty as when her Crea-
tor commanded her to be. The heavens
shall be as bright over our graves as they
now are around our paths. The world will
have the same attractions for our offspring
yet unborn as she had once for our chll
dren. Yet little while, and all will have
happened The throbbing heart will be
stiHed, aud all will be at rest. Our funer-
al will wind it's way, and prayers will be
said, and then we shall be left alone in
silence and darkness for the worms. And,
it may be, for short time we shall be
spoken of, but the things of life will creep
in, and our names will soon be forgotten
Days will continue to move on, and laugh
ter and song will be heard in the room in
which we died and the eye that mourned
for US will be dfied, and glisten again with
Joy; and even our children will cease to
think of US, and will not remember to LISP
our names"

EirCHrsslOcNtteN.

At Ci0cinnati a few years since, an ua-
sophisticated darkey waited upon cer-
tain military gentleman with bill of S19
Is for washing done at the camp hospital
which after undergoing rigorous scruti-
ny by the officer, was returned with the
following explanation, which the astonish- :
ed son of Ethiopia listened to with an
amount of wonder and perplexity:
"This bil.' said the military gentle
man, "will first have to be sent to the
quartermaster-geueral at Washington, and
he will report to the adjutant-gtncral, and
he to the secretary Of war for his appro-
val. The adjutant being satisfied, it will
be sent TO the auditor Of the state, who
will approve Of it and send it to the secre-
tary of the treasury, who will send it to
the U. S. treasurer, who will at once dis
patch an order to the collector of this port
to pay the BILL"
The darkey relieved himself of a long
drawn sigh. "Then, massa." he remark
ed, =" dat last gembau you spoke 70, pays
for de washing, does he ?"
"No," continued the other, he will
hand it to the Quartermaster but as there
is no such Office here at present, some
proper person must be appointed by the
secretary of war, under direction Of the
president, and his appointment must be
approved by the senate. Congress not
being in session now, the commission can.
not be issued until after it meets. When
this commission is received. the quarter
master will show it to the Collector; he
will pay it. YOU giving your receipt"
The unfortunate negro first scratched
his head. then shook it, and finally said
Il guess I'll hab to let dis washing

johnson. And at last we have

President johnson. And at last we have
the terrible announcement from leading
Senator of the Republican party, that as
sassiuation even has been threatened him
if, in his capacity, as a judge, sworn to rem
der verdict in accordance with the evil
dence and the law, he should considcr
himself bound by his oath to vote for the
Presidents acquittal, and that this threat
of assassination was endorsed by the Sec
retary Of the Senate To what pass of
diigrace and shame has radicslis,n brought
the country. And yet the assassin who
drives his dagger into the breast of the re-
publican Senator who has the courage to
vote as his conscience and his oath die
tate, is no less guilty in the eyes Of God, Of
the horrible crime Of murder, than the pa.
pers who melted him, by Incorporate aud
atrocious language, to the commission of
the foul deed.

How They Effected" the COnstt-
tuliOn I'm LOulSitnss.

A representation has been made in wri-
ting by citizens Of Plaquemines parish, of
the manner in which the election was con-
Quoted there.
The commissioners at Pointe-a- Ia Hache
were three negroes, one of them a candi-
date for justice Of the peace, the court
house precinct. His father was another.
AID the third belonged to another part of
the parish. They kept the box unlocked
and unsealed. and allowed negro voters
living in aud registered from other parts
of the parish to vote there. A gang of
negroes, armed with bludgeous, surround
ed and kept possession Of the poll, and a
committee of three stopped every colored
veter and forced him to let them examine
and inspect his vote, refusing to permit
such to vote any other than the radical
ticket They also mtimidated a great
many white men from voting.
The like course Of intimidation and in
spection vas pursued at raliaierro's pre-
cinct, with this variation, that there was
one white to two negro commissioners at
the poll. We quote the following as a
specimen of their line OF conduct:
.'One old and respectable freedman,
named Gabriel Stevens, residing on Mr.
Bradish Johnson's plantation. was stopped
by SINE Of these rufians, dragged off his
horse. assaulted, beaten, and threatened
with immediate death, which he escaped
for the time being. upon an order Of one
of the black commissioners, who saide
LET him 20 now, but let him be spotted. !"
Another negro man named Geo. Polk, was
forbidden to vote the democratic ticket.
and forced by the game gang to 90 away
without exercising his franchise"
At neither of these polls we're the bal
lots marked as required by the orders is-
sued at headquarters.
The petitioners, who lay their complaint
before the commanding general, say that
the negro population is SO flushed with its
triumph thus obtained. that they pray
that some white soldiers may he sent down
10 that parish to prevent outrages upon
the white people.
The messenger who brought up this Pc
tition says that at Lawrence's plantation,
ne came up to forty or fifty negroes COM
ing this way, with the ballot box of the
Taliaferro in their possession. There
were no white men with them.
We are authorized by the deputy sher.
if, conducting the election, to say that
neitherto negroes nor to white men was
there allowed any freedom Of choice Or
fairness Of choice at the election in the
parish Of Paquemines.

TwT EaGIes In a Fix.

A ludicrous scene occurred within a
thousand miles of Indianapolis, not a
great while ago, at least not long enough
TO be forgotten. We suppress the names.
Two young ladies were visiting another
young lady, their cousin. The three were
were fond of jokes, and continually play
ing them off on each other On the night
in question, two Of them attended party,
trcm which they returned at half past
twelve o'clock. The third one remained
at home. and tC avoid disturbing her
fer the three slept in the same bed-and
others in the house, they entered through
the window. Here difficulty occurred,
caused by the fact that after they had left
home, young Methodist minister arrived
cn visit. He was given the room occu-
pied by tie young ladies, sod the one
who had remained at home sat up to ill.,
form the others that different apartments
had been assigned to them. She waited
in the parlor for that purpose, but unluck-
lily fell asleep, and as the two young ladies
did not come in by the door, but stepped
into their own room By the window, she
slept on. When the two others entered
they saw Fanny's figure, as they supposed,
IN bed, but were puzzled also to see By the
bedside pair of boots. The truth fash
ed upon them both at once. They saw it
all. Fanny had set the boots In the room
to give them a good scare. They put
their heads together aud determined to
turn the tables IN her. Silently they dis
robed, and as stealthily as cats they took
their positions on each side Of the bed
At a given signal they both jumped into
bed, one each side Of the unconscious
sleeper, laughing and screaming, 20, what
man! ., what a man." they gave the
poor bewildered minister such promiscu-
Gus hugging and tous!ng as few persons
are able to brag Of in the course of life
time. The noise of this Procee ling awoke
the old lady, who was sleeping in an ad-
joining room. She comprehended the sit
uatlon III a moment, aud rushing to the
room, she opened the door and exclaimed,
My Lord, gals, il is a man; it is a man
sure enough y There was one prolonged,
consolidated scream; fash of muslin
through the door, and all was over. The
best OF the joke is that the minister took
the whole thing in earnest. He would
listen to no apologies the old lady could
make for the girls. He would hear no
excuse. but he solemnly folded his cleri-
cal robes around him and silently stole
