Rslls Boyd as an Aotress.

Miss Belle Boyd rather retired from
public notice in common with the other
heroes and heroines of the recent war,
and since its close has only come occa-
sionally to the surface. She has been
acting in England, and Sala has made a
book of her; she has been giving read
ings in Tennessee, and the Duck Creek
Hatchet has praised her. She has not,
however, excited any very intense emo
ton in any Of these characters, nor did
she create any preliminary hutter in the
character of "Juliana," in which last
night at the French thester, for the first
time, she appeared on the American
stage. In fact, the audience was slim,
and the paying portion Of what there was
of it appeared to be almost exclusively
Southern. With every willingness in The
world to applaud, and thereby help on
the debutante, who, indeed, appeared
not to need any helping on by reason of
trepidation, it had very little opportu-
nifty to do so, and the only really hearty
applause was awarded to the excessively
broad comedy of Mr. Welsh Edwards
who played the Mock Duke. We do moi
mean that Miss Boyd is very bad
actress. But as certainly she is not a
very good one, nor does she show prom
Use of ever becoming good one.-Neic

Lo! the Poor North.

We are reminded that in the five New
England States, New Jersey, New York
and Pennsylvania nearly half million
of the laboring men and women are out
of employment and clsmorous for bread.
The impoverished and oppressed South
cannot purchase the manufactured goods
of the East for lack of means to pay for
them, while the deceived and plundered
West has all it can do to meet the mex
orable call of the tax-gatherer. The suf-
fering endured by the poor of the East
during the bitter cold months of winter
is such as no eye hath seen-no ear hath
heard-no tongue can adequately tell.
But, alas for them Poor people--they
are white-in their veins flows not the
"ricb, dark blood of the tropics" which
Phillips thinks would blend so beauti-
fully with our cold Northern current
No Bureau agent, with countless mil.
lions of currency and shordes OF willing
subordinatss, stands ready to relieve
them-no whispering schoolmarm seeks
them out to pamper their children--no
pious divine crosses their threshold to
speak to them of Him who exclaimed, ,
"of such are my people" They are
under the patronage of no Aid Society
they have no able champions in both
houses of the National Legislature, So
called, to parade their sufferings or adve-
cate their cause-they are left to die in
tenement houses, in aims houses and
rarrets.-Lacrosse Democrat.

A Rsdicsl Journal Warns Congress.

The Senate has, as II supposes, rein
stated Mr.. Stanton in the War Depart
ment, and he is there. But the Secre-
tary' Of War is only head clerk If the
President 80 wills. He can not issue an
order without the authority Of the Presi-
dent He can not refuse to execute an
order issued by the President. The
President can send orders through or
around him: SO Stanton has his clerkship,
and the President will give orders as he
pleases. Congress is also endeavoring to
fnd means of placing the Southern States
under the executive control of General
Grant, but no law Of Congress can change
the relations of the Commander-in-chief
of the Army and Navy and the General
Of the Army. The latter must be the
subordinate of the former. The Constr
tutien provides, with clearness that Is
impossible to obscure, that the Chief
Magistrate shall have supreme authority
over the military and naval establish
ments. It is unwise and dangerous for
Congress to meddle with this we'll under
stood fact. And then Congress is accu-
mulating difficulty and arousing distrust
by special legislation relating to the
Supreme Court. The conflict with the
President has been found exceedingly
troublesome and mischievous. That
with the Supreme Court will not be less
SO. Congress is competent to impeach
the President; and 1t may regulate the
Supreme Court in many respects. The
majority of the Court may, however, as
readily declare one law of Con-
gress unconstitutional as another,
and may dispute the propriety of the
enforcement of the two.thirds rule. hith.
erto used in Democratic Presidential
conventions. And while all these things
are under discussion, precious time that
should be used in affording relief to the
business interests of the country is lost,
and with it day by day is loss Of that
public confidence which is the Legitimate
source of political power Cincinnati

Famina in Tunia.

A Tunis letter has the following: 1.-THE
desolatlon in which this country is
plunged has been increased by the cold
and rain. A number of Arabs, driven
from the country districts, have. come to
this city, where they are dying of want
and exposure. Every day as many as
fifty or sixty bodies are taken from the
Morestan for interment. In every house
are to be found families of the ref
ugees, to whom the citizens have
given shelter; the eagerness to assist
the necessities is, however, daily decress-
ing, in consequence of the great number
of the unfortunates. The rain, which is
usually so necessary for the crops, has
been quite useless this year, the popula-
ton not having had the means of pur-
chasing seed. All theSmoney has been
sent to Europe to purchase food. The
Government is taking no steps to relieve
this misery, but remains quite inert, as
if the condition Of the country did not
concern it,"

A HISTORY of the London Tailors'
strike, is given, or at least the financial
part of it, in a paper read just before
Christmas, before the London Operative
Tailors Association. 1t appears that
during the strike from April to the end
of October, the money raised for the
benefit of the tailors, amounted TO $50.
500 OF the amount received, S7e, ,405
had been paid to the men on the strike,
while the remainder, with the exception
of $40 in hand and $3.50 advanced to the
defense fund, was expended in delega-
tious, public meetings, committees,
printing, advertising, and the other incl
dents connected with protracted strike.
Two thousand men we're on strike for
six months, and they were paid at the
rate of q little over six shillings per
head per week. $4,000 were expended in
defending the President and others tried
a few months ago for conspiring against
the employing tailors.

THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
Democratic Prospects.


From the New York World.l
The nominations Of candidates for
State officers by both parties in New
Hampshire and the meeting of the
Democratic State Conventions OF Ohio,
Indiana, and West Virginia on Wednes-.
day last, fairly open the great political
campaign of 1868. In the three latter
the Presidential canvass was especially
mentioned; in two the preference OF the
conventions for Presidential candidate
was formally announced. On the other
side, the members of the Republican
State Convention of New Hampshire
passed q resolution declaring General
Grant to be their choice for the next
President Both parties in Connecticut
are to hold their State Conventions dur
ing the present month, and it is not
unlikely that at least one Of these bodies
(the Republican, will be as outspoken as
regards the Presidency, as was the cor
responding one in New Hampshire.
The election in New Hampshire will
take place on the 10th of March. Great
interest will attach to the result, as it
will be the first State election of the
year. The votes of this State at recent
elections were as follows:
