It had been showing heavily
all day, but toward night had
cleared off and now q keen bit.
ter wind was blowing, that cut
to the very bone, II was so
cold, indeed, that but few per-
sons were in the streets al
though it was Christmas-eye.
Usually at this hour, on the
night before the great holiday,
the pavements we're crowded
with people; happy children
going hand-ih, hand with their
parents, to bny toys; gay look
ers on; maskers in grotesqae
garments; and boys blowing
horns; everything and every.

streets were almost deserted,

In vain the shop wndows

Here and tberey'a newsboy,
STOPPING to face the blast; cried
the evening papers, and now
and then a solitary cab drove
almost noiseiessly through the
white streets. The gale roared
through the trees of the public
square, and the icicles ratified

Lucy! II was the name Of
his only sister, whom he had
not seen for many a long year;
not since he had gone away, af-
ter the death of their parents,
and the sale of the old home
stead up in New England, de-
termined to make his way in
the world. What a train Of
memories 1t called up! He
thought of the Aold days, and,
and of sweet Hetty Moss, and
then Of the utter despair that
followed, when his father died. a
bankrupt, and, his mother
followed ofa broken heart, and
some far-away relatives came
and took his sister out Of char.
ity, and old Deacon Moss shut
his doors against him. Tie
shame and anguish Of 1t all re-.
turned on him as sharply as
when he had first felt 1t, a lad
oftwenty; back also came the
memory Of his sister. and he al
most persuaded himself, for
moment, that the child before
him looked Ike his ,"little'
Lucy" had looked at her age.

GENERAL HAMPToN.-The Radicals do
not like General HAMPTON. 1t is true he
has said some things which the Radicals
saw could be ingeniously misconstrued, and
they of course misconstrued them. But
then he said his say over again in way
not SO readily twisted into misconstruction /;
and he has spoken again quite as clearly.
We shouldn't wonder if he goes on speak
ing; for South Carolina is State, accord
ing to the Radical idea, and the Radical
party certainly cannot pretend to say that
speech there is not free, and discussion
timely, as the presidential campaign is now
in full blast
On the l4th General HAMPTON spoke at a
SEYMOUR and BLAIR meeting OF Green's
vile, S. G. In the course Of his speech he
said:
The men who have been acting outside
of the Constitution have been doing it only
for the purpose Of retaining power. They
have held it by force and fraud, and the
mighty hosts of the Democracy are march
ing on from the lakes to the gulf, gather
ing strength daily, and they will give us
equal rights-rights unimpsired. The
Radicals, on the other hand, claim to be
apostles Of peace while holding swords at
our very threats. There are three kinds Of
peace. The first, that emanating from the
Godhead that which passes all understand
ing. Then there is the white-robed angel,
her wigs, and with the olive

MAJOR B. F. FICKLIN.-This gentleman,
who has troops Of friends in Virginia, has
had some trouble with the understrappers
of the army in the prosecution of his con-
tract to convey the FL Paso mail. One
would have thought that he had quite
enough to dc in fighting the Indians on his
route, but the subaltern officers Of the
army being under different impression,
they piled trouble upon him by arresting
some of his carriers and putting them In
prison. But the Major is not easily con-
quered. So, fighting it out bravely on his
Cline" he triumphed. He procured an
order from General REYNOLDS, commander
of the district, dated at Austin, which
directs that under " existing laws the
"agents and employees of the Ell Paso mail
"route" be " not arrested or detained by
"post commanders or others in military SER
"vice." At previous dates the subalterns
had the Major in "hocklety"; but he has
turned tables upon them.

Radicals and Negro Suffrage.

In a recent speech of Mr.. CLAYPooL,
Democratic orator of the Northwest, he
quoted the following sentences from speech
made by Mr.. MORTON, the Radical senator
from Ohio, in 1865:
"By some it is urged that comforting suf-
frage upon him (the negro) shall be
made a condition of Reorganization. Or,
in other words, that the States lately
in rebellion shall not be permitted to re-
sumo their practical relations with the Go
vernment except upon the terms of first con-
ferring the right of suffrage upon every freed
man. The subject of suffrage is by the ma
tional Constitution expressly referred to the
determination of the several States, and 1t
cannot be taken from them without viola
ton of the letter and the spirit of the Con-
stitution."
This senator is now one of the most
thorough-going of the Radical leaders in
forcing negro suffrage in the South and
expressing her in every way. This shows
how little regard they have for the Consti-
tuition, the law, or even their own consist
ency and honor, when their party interest
requires that each be ignored or outraged.
Mr.. MoRToN's position in 1865 was one of
principle-a thing which does not change
but Mr.. MORTON is only partisan-a
thing which does.

ANOTHER GRAIN OF RADICAL COMMON
SENsE.-The Radical Governor of Florida,
HARRISON REID, vetoed several bills passed
by the Florida Legislature at its recent ses-
sion. Among them was can act for the
protection of the citizens of Florida ira
"velling on public conveyances." The
purpose of this act was to establish equality
amongst the races, and to take away from
railroad officers the authority to exclude a
negro from any part of their trains. Inc
negroes had been taught to demand that
this should be done by those who are ever
caioling them to get their votes-persons
who, had they the power, and had no i'm
diate object to gain by it, would confer no
such equal privileges upon their simple
victims. In the course of his veto MIR.
REID says:
Common carriers must have the power
to defend themselves against intrusion OF
drunken or dissolute persons, Of whatever
race or color, and to regulate their affairs 80
as to secure the highest comfort and safety
of passengers

Grimes Of the Ciuu Var. By HENRY CLAY
DEAN. Baltimore: INNEs & Go.
The crimes of the war will hardly be
softened in the representation by Mr.. DEAN.
He has good reason to remember them with
a little bitterness, as he was himself victim
Of the Federal Government, and served q
term in prison. The volume is large &C.
tavo, and much of the irritating and revolt
ing history Of the war is crowded into it !;
but there is yet unwritten world of Incl
dents that are narrowing enough.
