A CARD

Having been quiet for some time in conse-
quence of death in my family, and having
been desirous of aiding in the present strug-
gle for equal rights, embraced the first op-
portunity afforded me for that purpose, and
supposed myself in association with men
friendly to my race, and to the Radical Re.
publican party, as they called themselves
Republicans; but on short experience |
found myself mistaken, and instead of being
friends many seem to be to the contrary.
Therefore / have concluded to abandon
them, and to go with the true Radical Re.
publican party, in support of the regular
ticket for Warmoth and Dunn and other
candidates thereon. The combination for
the division of the Radical party which |
have lately discovered opened my eyes and
caused me to say: Whereas 1 was once
blind, now see." Therefore l have con-
cluded that duty prompts me to go with
other true Republicans for the regular
ticket and the Radical candidates thereon

of Mr.. Wood that gentleman showed
how this measure had been originally
proposed early in 1865 as mere tempo
rary measure under the "war power" IL
1866 it was renewed for two years, and has
been constantly used ever since to op
press and defraud the white population
to inflame hatred and distrust, and, az
political engine, to control the vote OF
the South in behalf of the Radical par.
ty. 1t is as party organization, a
large corruption fraud upon moneys
drawn from the pockets of the laboring
poor of the North that this infamous
institution is kept up. Mr.. Wood refer
red with great force to the example OF
the effects of emancipation in Jamaica,
where tie value of exports have fallen
off TO about one-fOurth of what they
formerly were.
1t early appeared that the officers and
agents of the bureau were speculating,
and not only taking bIibes, bnt bringing
about that condition of affairs when
bribery became the only mode by which
planters could get along with their
crops. Everything of this kind has
found shield aud shelter in the head
of the Bureau. 1t was considered
by the people of the country that
Bareau officers, being paid regular
salary, and acting as professional
guardians to the negroes, ought not to
be interested in plantations. If inter,
ested, it was apparent there was a
temptation to use the great power Il
their Office dishonesty. Yet General
Howard publicly stated that he had
advised these officers to put their "httle
savings" in these plantations, so as to
start material reconstruction, &c.

The Lost and Saved ut the Museum
Fire.

"John Paul" writes to the Springfield
(Mass.) Republican an account of the
fire at Barnum's Museum, and thus de-
scribes the sad fates and perilous es-
capes of the biped and quadruped Gu
riOSities:
No human lives were lost. With sin
cere regret record that the lightning
calculator was not SO much as singcd.
The fat woman walked, supported by
three men and two policemen. She
had no clothes and presented quite a
pleasing picture. The giantess, too, in
a comparatively short BIB and tucker,
was something for coutcmplatlon,-a
profitabla study. To my mind she sug-
rested the map of North America; taken
all in all, Fve au idea she'd be useful
in schools. Little boys would get quite
lively understanding of the great
globes from her, and, if necessary, she
might be divided into sections and
passed around. Though mountain OF
flesh, she looked like Il continent, and |
hope she is so.
Besides the curiOsites, a kangaroo
was saved; | watched the cheerful cuss
through his probation and rejoiced in
his salvation. He kept up his spirits
wonderfully and gave no signs OF des-
pair; hop on hop ever was evidently his
motto. I have been told that the lady
kangaroo carries her babies in n small
nurse at her waistband, as though they
were pennies or car tickets, but this one
didn't take any change with her. If
she left a small family behind, she has
doubtless kangarued her loss by this
time. An attempt was made to get the
gnu out, but failed. 1t was an obstinate
brute, and insisted on padding its own
Cuu-so he perished miserably. The ell.
ephant refused tn leave his trunk, and
so was lost with his baggage. Being a
trunken beast at best, | have no sym
pathy for him. The giraffe got out

breathed freer than his companions
For some time ii was neck or nothing

finally surrendered to his fate. 1t may
be written of him that he died on The
spot. The place of the seal soon be
came no place for him-at least HI
thought so and tried to move, but alas
he couldn't get out of his L. 5. A fac'

fortunately it turned out to be tb'

would grieve himself to death over th'
mistake if he had not been burned up

General Grant, is charged by affidavit

Voluntarily performed military service,
under the so.called Confederate officers

From the New York Express.
Gruut-Butler

The Grant men, it turns out, in Wash.
ington were caught in trap IN voting
for Buffers Article of Impeachment
growing out of the speeches made by
the President during his Western tour
According to O Washington correspon'
dent the motive of this movement was
to compel the production Of
Testimony exposing such evidences
of human frailty as were exhibited on
the trip by certain distinguished mem
bers OF the party anticipating with sat,
isfaction the exposure of a not exempla'
~ record for the er-ad-interim Secretary
of War. The Presidents circle swing.
ing is to be the side show to the grand
entertainments
This is so like the animus of Butler
who will never forgive Grant for bot.
Ting him up at Bermuda Hundred
though afterwards uncorked at Fort
Fisher, that there is but little doubt o.
the trath Of the statement.

Another Adjunct.

Mr.. Washburn, of Indiana, has intro
duced into the House bill to repeal
that part of the act of July %, 1866,
which provides that no vacancies shall
be filled on the bench of the Supreme
Court until the number OF judges shall
be reduced to six. The purpose for
which this inconvenient and unnecessa-
ry provision was passed hardly needs
mention. 1t was, of course, to prevent
the accession to the Supreme Court, for
an indefinite time, of any more Impair
tial judges. The proposition to repeal
it is, at this time, quite significant.
Should Mr.. Wade succeed to the PFesl-
dental chair, the law would be ready
made for the immediate appointment Of
such men as Butler, Sickles, Scbenck,
etc, to the places once held by Story,
Wayne, Mclean, etc, to hold TOR lie.
But not only this; If the law be ready,
one more influence is brought to bear
against the struggling conSclences and
distracted perceptions of many of the
Senators sitting on the impeachment.
Unless you remove johnson, yOu not
only lose all to be gained by seizure OF
the Government, but you give him, by
your failure, the power to hill up the
court with refractory jurists like those
who now sit there" There is point III
this, even though the Senate need not
confirm nominees; for should President
johnson send in the names of men OF
exalted professional and personal char
acter, it is certain that it would weaken
Senators at home TO reject them, while
they dare not confirm them. even though
none of them had ever affiliated with
the Democrats, without fortifyisg the
Constitution, and thus ensuring their
party overthrow, and their personal hu-
initiation through life; for we hazard
the prediction that if the Constitution
survives this struggle, not a man of its
present eRemies in public life will ever
live down his shame.-NdtiORdl Inteit'-

Penny Wisdom and Pound Folly

The National Mtelligeacer thus shows
up the hollow pretences of the Radi-
calls in Congress in affecting economy in
appropriatiug public money:
The larger portion of yesterday, and
also of the day previous, was given to
one of Mr.. Washburnc'S appropriation
bills, in which that gentleman display
ed in full all those attractive personal
qualities which have reduced his body
of followers, although speaking as
Grants representative, to about thirty
members. Even on the Republican side,
his hollow pretences of economy
are regarded as ipsincere and dema-
gogcal. Nobody, in fact, believes in
them or in him. Iu conducting this. bill
he display ed his usual "penny-w wise aud
pound foolish" spirit, pretending to
make great clamOr over some petty
appropriation for a useful or necessary
object; but always ready at pinch to
join i'll squandeTing millions in order to
keep up that Radical electioneering
machine, the Freedmen's Bureau, and
voting for the system of measures in
yOlvlng negro supremacy and the dis
dollars per annum to enforce 1t. The
burdened taxpayers of the country have
no worse or more insidious enemy than
this pretended economist, Mr.. Elihu b.
Washburne.
The spirit of the Radical party is
shown by steady refusal to curtail
the large expenditures of the Govern
ment. 1t is true that they are just now
casting off taxes, and their own leaders
confess in open Senate that it is done
with view to operate on the Presiden-
ual election; but they take good care
10 Keep up the army at its present
hgure, costing near So, ,0O0,0OO per an
num-, and so with all other eXpendi-
lures. These expenditures thus going
on will have to be shouldered some time
OF other, and what does it matter to the
taxpayer, next spring, when he pays
his impost, whether the law to impose
and enforce it is dated in the Hinter OF
1859 or some prior yearf If the Re-
pu6licans were really sincere in their
purpose to lessen the burden of taxa
ton, they would at once curtail expen'
Glture, reduce the army, and allow the
south to recuperate its industry and
take Its share of the public burdens.
III proof were needed to illustrate th'
purpose of this faction, it is supplied il
the bill passed the other day continuing
the treedmen's Bureau year and hal
longer. 1t is very clear that wAmus

adams, of Kentucky, and Wood, of New
iork have lately made very able speech
es against this measure. In the remark
