war, ana was remarkable for 4 want Of
neatness in his actions, having been found
often with his eve at key-Aoles and has
ear at cracks. He stands about SIX feet
and has good deal Of the fash in bis
STYLE of dress and swaggcr III manner -
bumped in the shoulders, legs OF the pipe
stem order and handy in shape. Whis-
kers black as the ravens wing, or as
Bachelors dye tan made them. b t
his face is the deepest rcd, You ever
saw, and his nose exactly fits Falstati 5
description. it is good memen;o mort,
no one can LOOK at but he MUST think of
hell fire and cross himself. Depend on it /,
there is something in the coloring Of that
nose besides the Potomac fluid The Reg
ister is so modest he was never known to
look any man in the face, for the moment
YOU look at him his diffidence eompcls him
to glance at his mother earth. When a
Magistrate he always made his decisions
with us eyes shut. so we suppose he could
not see what Il fool he made of himself
But why attempt to draw the picture Of
one OF the numerous party, not only here
but throughout the entire North ! They
have rushed here and iutc the South III
droyes. Nine tenths have left their ma
tive hills fer the hills good No sooner
did the edic4go forth that the niger was
to hold the balance of power than, carpet
bag in hand. they passed up in single
W. k1sl,s-and 'lia.e . dead set
; for the fattest offices the niggers could
give. They were not in the city half all
hour, the dust Of their native heath was
not off their shoes Chose that had shoes
on) before they began to inquire, with the
usual nasal twang, what certain Offices Of
the Corporation paid. Among the fow
citizens who have linked their fortunes to
the woolly- heads, We are unable to call to
MUD a single one Of any Standing, and
those who now wish to fill the different
offices in the city, not one owns a dollar ;
worth of property here, or elsewhere
and but for the pay they will get from the
| Corporation, they must beg or do worse,
/ The offices they came after and the offices
they must have. Such men compose the
head and front of the woolly heads; they
grab the dollar and knaw the apple =
| When Marshall Kane spoke Of those men
who voted for Lincoln as the scum of ere
alton, he used just the words to describe
/ them. Look at Drake, Fornev, Wilson
and the rest, set without brains or man
nerS, utterly unfit to associate with those
! who were formerly the leaders OF society
These men break down all the barriers o.
society and give b,ackguardism and ro-
query their full sway. The struggle, a:
we have before said, has been a struggle
of dccency against blackguardism ana
blackguardisnl has triumphad. We have
only now to look at society to see the
changes that have been brought about
within the short period Of eight years
Wealthy bond holders who, eight year:
since, never dreamed of entering gentle
mans house, now strut and swell ant
swagger through rooms filed with vulga'
and vulgarly dressed people and thinl
they are leading society. There is We
some little left OF the gcntility of former
days, though mostly among those living
in poverty and obscurity and who hole
at respectful distance and treat witt
merited contempt, the dirty snobs anc
thieving army contractors who think theiI
ill-gotten wealth qualities them to contro
society. Many a lesson has been laugh
them in their efforts to force themselves
into the houses of gentlemen, thinking
the Offices they hold or the money they
have got will be sufficient passport
Much of the tyranrcal legislation agains
the people of this city has been the resul
of this rigid exclusion BY the really gen
tccl people Of this city ofthes" parsenues
! The title of honorable is but poor re
commendation to thousands OF people II
this city and when We look at their conduc
and the lives they lead and their domestic
associations we must confess that a large
majority otltIiem are unit for the compa
ny OF a decent horse-thief.
