The 'tman and brother" has very sud

s In the New York Legislature on Fri
day Democratic member moved that a
declaration of President Lincoln, painted
with white letters on black muslin, and
placed at the west end of the Hall Of As
sembly during the obsequies of the vlate
.lamented, should be taken down. The
words are =; have the most solemn
oath, registered in Heaven to preserve.
protect, and defend, the Government" y .
An amusing debate followed, in which
the taking down was opposed by more
Democrats than Republicans. The Dem
ocrats completely turned the tables onthe
Republicans, expressing their desire that
the motto should remain as q rebukeiof
the Republicans for having deserted the
position occupied by Mr.. Lincoln The
motion was rejected-two-thirds of the
Democrats voting against it. .Ie2 a.' !

Z Tho BI.csx Crook Eclip.ed.

90 A shrewd Spectator and Snowman
,s..i, was recently in Louisiana: watching the
proceedings of the State Convention.
bs1sl Delighted by the performances, he is on
g1'e his way to Montgomery to select speci-
mems of American Legislators for exhi-
assd sbition in the great cities of the United
States. Instead Of a Black Crook, he
! % win have sixty crook blacks in his won-
"a ,derful cast, of the most laughable and
= bs1stupendous comedy ever enacted by
combinations Of genius. shinbones and
:, stupidity. 1t is proposed to reproduce
in all the leading cities of the United
-9b States not only speeches made, with res
olutions and ordinances adopted, but to
-sh place before the public the very men
s,,,,. now engaged, under the direction Of
Radical craftsmanship. in perfecting ir-
ns o.repealable codes. There is little diff
% Guilty anticipated in affecting contracts
=; ~ with members Of these State Conven-
tions. Sixty red bandannas, a fiddle
each for -thirty-two colored states
f. men, men, baannios for eight, and shoes
=, =. for 4 the rest, constitute the
-sius wardrobe of the matchless. company.
After luminous debates on franchise acts,
there wilfs-b music and a Virginia
n breakdown In fact, it is hegpurpose
lad of the Snowman to present, with perfect
-asa fidelity, the public and private modes of
-seH action peculiar to- these majestic law
givers of the South. Few, besides i'm
-iioo ported managers of these shows now
Il .sIaopsn at Southern capitals, were ever be-
.s5byoudf the limits of cornfelds and cabins,
in the midst Of which they first inhaled
yaLs soft bfeezes ofsultry summer time. They
no 11ouad visit distant cities and behold the
f1g bef.efactors of their race. The ENTER
prising Snowman, for aught we know an
