JOB WORK OF ALL KINDS
Behold! !!

IT Mr.. Stewards penchant for real estate
has brought within the folds of the flag of
an immense amount of earthquake and
hurricane, disturbing the national equili-
brlum and annoying Mr. Greeley; if We
suvius is on the rampage, and the Fenians
on a general burst; if everywhere and
everybody, including Congress and the
Cretans, exhibit the one fell purpose of
keeping up fuss, then there is no peace,
and malignant star seems to have flashed
it's lurid light on the age in which we live,
and doomed the world to season of COM
motion and laundering disturbances. Ma
ture plays her part right merrily in the
merciless sirocco and obstructive temrest,
in belching forth her hidden fires through
volcanic peaks, and in given this wicked
globe grand old shake from centre 10
circumference, and in other signs and
wonders, vastly increasing the business.
and profits of dealers in ascension robes,
and even effecting Wall-street to the ex-
tent of slight tumble in gold. But
amidst it all, Congress is unmoved, un-
relenting, unterrifed, undeterred from car
'rying out its programme and purpose, and
hence there is no peace. In the financial
world there is almost panic. Commerce
droops it's wings. The productive and in
dnstrial energies OF the country are brought
to deadlock. Thousands of laborers in
one section starving because they can get
no work. Thousands of laborers in anoth-
er section starving because they won't
work. Men of splendid education, but
feeble frame, reduced to manual toll. Men
of no education, but abundant muscle, di-
verted from the plough to politics, and sit
ting III Conventions to legislate for States.
And this is craftsmanship, and wise gov
ernment, and unassailable political econo-
my 1t stops the machinery of the north
ern manufacturers it turns to sterile
plains the rich plantations of the South;
it clouds the brow ofthe merchant in both
sections; it fearfully multiplies paupers
and felons all over the land it substitutes
famine for plenty, and fear for confidence
and peace. And this is stateamanship and
wise government, and unassailable politi-
cal economy! by their fruits ye shall
know them.' 1t is fair test. 1t is the
Gospel mode of trial, resulting in yer-
dict which no human ingenuity can sue
cesstully attack. And the vast array Of
damning proof of misrule, of mischievous
and malicious legislation, which every day
is heaping up against the party in power,
will insure verdict of condemnation from
the awakened judgment of the American
people, and from the impartial future chron-
| icler of our times.

Reaairming the Constitution.

A correspondent of the New York Er-
press says that he well remembers being
present, as an invited guest, at compli-
mentary dinner given to Hon. Daniel Web
ster, In the Musical Hall, in the city of
Philadelphia, on the I'd of December, ls45,
when he delivered one of his elaborate
discourses on the political state Of the
country. The writer was placed on the
platform, next to Mr. Webster, and in the
course of conversation with him before he
made his address,, took occasion to refer
to the alleged violation of the constitution
by their political opponents, but reminded
him that though Magma Charta had been
violated over and over again, it was as Of
ten reaffirlned after such violations, until
its provisions became the established fun
damental law OF England. Mr.. Webster,
in the course of his subsequent address,
burst out in the following paragraph,
which seems to have been suggested by
the conversation, and which may be found
in the report OF his speech:
cit may have happened-1 think 1T has
happened-that instances have occurred
in which the spirit of this instrument has
DeeN QCpdTlcu IL Olli, III "Hi0n, A oo,
violations of that spirit have taken place.
What of that? Are we to abandon it on
that account? Why, l snonld as soon
think of abandoning my own father when
ruffians attacked him! Loud and long
continued applause.) No! we are to rally
round it, with all our power, and all our
force, determined to stand by it or tall
with it. Whas was the conduct of the
great lovers of liberty in the early periods
of English history? They wrested from
a reluctant monarch, King John, a magma
charta. The crown, afterwards, violated
that charta What did they do? They
demonstrated, they resisted, they re-en-
forced it, and that is what we are to do,
gentlemen" tremendous applause.)
Rcafirming the constitution is what
Andrew johnson is trying to do now, and
which is considered by his enemies crime
deserving impeachment 1t is what the
people also have done in late elections,
and what they must continue to do, if the
constitutions to be preserved.-Balt Sun.

MILITARY LAWS IN THE SECOND DIS
rRlcr.-Gen Candy has not been timid
in exercising tho authority given him by
those so.stylcd reconstruction acts, which
have converted the whole South into a
military satrapy; and, dangerous as it IS
and must be to vest in one man the pow
er of determining the manner in which
the lives and properties of the people of
State of the Union are to be cared for or
protected, it must be admitted that, in some
of his actions, Gen. Candy has shown a
liberal and comprehensive spirit, which is
worthy of imitation in those districts
where power is used only for the purpose
of tyranny and oppression.
1t has for years been Il subject OF COM
plaint that Charleston, the metropolis of
South Carolina, has had to bear far more
than her just proportion of tue taxation
of the State. This arose from the fact
that in the city real estate was taxed at
about it's value, while in tho country the
bare land was taxed at q nominal rate,
while the Improvements upon it, however
valuable were in no way included. In
the State Legislature the country repre-
sentaton was SO powerful that this unjust
condition of things could not be changed.
Bu. the pen of the military commander
has been more potent than the voice of
the representatives Of Charleston, and i'll
the tax bill arranged by Gen. Candy for
the coming year, every acre and foot OF
land, with the Improvements upon it, will
be taxed according to its marketable val
nc. This section of the military tax Or
der has given general satisfaction in the
State, and that satisfaction has been in
creased by the fact that the rates of taxa
ton generally have been lowered in such
manner as to encourage trade and fos-
ter the growth of commercial business.
Gen. Candy has also done wellin dccreas-
ing the tax upon the gross receipts OF
newspapers in the State; and there is ov-
cry indication that it is his determination
not to attempt to crush by taxation those
organs of public opinion which arc work
ing for the maintenance of peace in the
South, and which, at tho best. return to
their conductors but meagre return for
the incessant care and attention which
they require.-Ne,o York Sunday Necs.

i paragraph, lett no doubt as to his own
convictions. When he ceased speaking,
whatever was thought of his statements,
and their Importance was fully under
stood, they elected neither comment nor
Enquiry. The President who, during their
delivery, had sat with his eyes fixed upon
scrap of paper which he was folding
and re-folding abstractedly, and who had
listened without change of position or
expression, broke the silence by saying,
in a low, even tone: "What do you say,
General Beauregard ?" II concur in all
General Johnston has said," be replied.
Another silence, more eloquent of the full
appreciation of the condition Of the coun-
try than words could have been, succeed
ed, during which the Presidents manner
was unchanged.
After brief pause he said, without q
variation OF tone or expression, and with
out raising his eyes froE the slip of paper
between his fingers "Well, General
Johnston, what do You propose You
speak of obtaining terms. You know, OF
course, that the enemy refuses to treat
with us. How do you propose to obtain
terms?"
81 think the opposing Generals in the
field may arrange them"
"Do You think Sherman will treat with
you %
81 have no reason to think otherwise.
Such course would be in accordance
with military usage. and legitimate"
Eve can easily try it, sir. If we can
accomplish any good for the country,
Heaven knows | am not particular as to
forms. How will you reach Sherman? 2"
IL would address him brief note, pro-
posing an interview to arrange terms of
surrender and peace, embracing, of course,
u cessation of hostiltcs during the nego-
tatons
'NNcll, sir, you can adopt this course,
though confess am not sangulne as to
ultimate results"
The member of the Cabinet, before re-
Hrred to as convcrsing with Gen. John
ston, and WHO was anxious that his views
should be promptly carried out, immedi-
ately seated himself at the writing table,
aud, taking up pen, offered to act as the
Gcnoral's amanucnsis. At the request of
the latter, however, the President dicta-
was written ut once upon half sheet OF
letter folded as note paper. and signed by
Gen. Johnston, who took it and said he
would send it to Gen. Sherman earl y in
the morning; and in a few minutes the
conference broke up. This note, which
was brief proposition for suspension
of hostiites and conference with a
view to agreeing upon terms of peace,
has been published with other letters
which passed between the two Generals.
On or about the 10th of April the Pres
idcnt, his staff and Cabinet, left Green's
boro' to proceed still further South, with
plans uniformed, clinging to the hope that
Johnston and Sherman would secure
peace and the quiet OF the country, but
still all doubtful of the result and still
more doubtful as to consequences OF fail

ABOUT rADvERrIsING-It is not often
that we find anything in the editorial col
umns of the New York Tribune which we
can approve, but the following extract
from a late article in that paper, under
the above heading, strikes us as not only
sensible and truthful but as peculiarly APP
plicable to the business men of this city
and in the South The trnth is, our mer-
chants, as class, have never realized the
Importance of liberal and judicious adver-
tising as a means Of securing success in
any and all the different branches of busi-
ness. At the North this thing is better
undcrstood-nay it has almost been
brought to the perfection of an exact
science, and hence it is we find so many
instances of remarkable success, and i'm
mcnsc fortunes made in few months or
wears mainly through the benefits Of judi
cious advertising:
In the meantime, how are business men
to keep ahoat? Prudence and economy,
of course, are the two great lessons to be
learned but there is one part of these
lessons which in dull times is especially
apt to be forgotten. BE sure of one thing (:
whatever YOU have to sell, there are many
people ready to buy, even in the most de-
dressed seasons. Find them out; show
them YOUR wares; persuade them to buy
Of YOU rather than another. When buy
ers are reluctant sellers REHst be active.
It is neither cheap nor sensible to sit still
behind your counter and wait for the
hustle of trade to revive. When business
is dull that is the very time to advertise.
In the first place, that is when You most
need to advertise; and in the second, that
is when people devote most time to read
ing the newspapers, and when your ad.
vertisement consequently is most gener
ally seem A few dollars invested in the
columns of the Tribune will do more to
revive sluggish business than anything
else in the world.

misunderstanding is the fit express
sion of human rage, and the most exact
Interpreter of its real meaning. He who
utters the fearful word of damnation
AGAINST his fellow man, is giving vent to a
feeling which, had he the power, would
really consign him to hell. Anger is thus
not only murder, but murder of the worst
kind; it would not only kill the body, but
would cast both soul and body into hell.
Swearer, see what your oath means! An
