II has been ushtged in with snow,
and ice, and cold rains, which add to
the melancholy one must feel in con
templating that Future Which the wis
dom ofthcmost subtle philosophy can,
not penetrate. What is in store for Us
Ill, God only knows. Time was when
we tch m impulse to congratulate the
readers Of the Home Journal upon
bright prospects. That time has pass
ed. The winter winds that howl with.
out while VIC write, are not more dole
rul to the ear than our apprehension OF
the Future is to the mind, and we wax
FESTIVE under the oft repeated admoni-
ton to buckle on the armor Of Hope
and battle against Despair. But We do
feel like battling against Radicalism, or
Moagrelism, for, az God is our judge,
we verify believe the demagogues and
scoundrels who have usuvped power
and ridden rough, shoi over the rights
Of the people in thcpast year, are re-
sponsllllc alone for the darkness OF the
Future 81 we'll as the miscrits Of the
Past.
That party is alone responsible for
the absence ofthe JOY that was usual
to us on the day which commentaries
the nativity of Christ In defiance Of
the teachings of this Christ, who plead
forgiveness and mcrcy-who came in
to the world, az the Prince OF Peace, to
suffer for rebels against His law--who
waited down to us, all along the ages,
"GLoRY TO COP IN THE HIGHEST, AND
ON EARTH PEACE AND Coop WILL TO.
WARDS MEN"-in defiance Of the holy
example He gave us in defiance of the
teachings Of History and the prophetic
words of Alexander Hamilton, the
great Wing. who said that "a share
in the sovereignty ofte State which is
exercised by the citizens at large, in
voting at elections, is one OF the mostI
important rights Of the subject, and in

The Nashville Banner says that
General Hancock's announcement
"that he will make the law the rule Of
his conduct begins already to show
excellent results in Louisiana, because
what he "will' do his subordinates mus
do. Accordingly, among the first
fruits, VIC have a. order from the "Bu'
reau of Refugees. Freedmen and Aban.
doned Lands" in New Orleans, an.
nouncing a complete change in the adj
ministration and operations Of thai
hitherto almost entirely irresponsible
institution. Hereafter those operation;
must harmonic with the Hancock
"rule;" they must conform to civi
law and all legal questions are to be
settled by legal tribunals without mill
tary intervention 1t is evident that
General Hancock is the right man ii
the right place."
With all Of which We agree, except
that we think Gen. Hancock the
right man in the wrong place. We hope
that Gen. Irwin Mcdowell, who is or
dered to relieve the notorious Gen, E
o. G. Ord in command Of the 4th mil,
itary District, and Gen. Geo. Meade
who is ordered to relieve the infamous
braggart-,Gen. John Popc--in com
mand Of the Third Military District
will act like Gen. Hancock.

Ii they cannotlive in a country which

Go where? Anywhere, where there
is no "white" mar or 'white' woman

The Christmas holidays arc over
There was nearly the Usual amount of
juvenile sports, pyrotechnic displays,
popping of fire crackers, DC, Ofcourse
many enjoyed their -egg-nogs, accord
ing to custom, aud a singular, inappro-
pirate custom, to be sure. The negroes
carried the day, however, and we were
pleased to see that no white person was
drunk or boistcrous. We were pleas.
ed to witness the distinction between
races was observed. Time was when
the negroes, with happy faces, came
every Christmas morn and recelvet
christmas gifts. Now, they make con.

taxpayers are allowed no voice in gov.
eminent.

Lands for the south.

Mr.. Julian, NJ. c., and Chairman of
the Committee on Public Lands, has
reported a bill declaring forfeited to
the United States the lands granted to
the Southern States in 1856, to aid
them in the construction Of railroads.
The grants have expired and such a
law will open to homestead entry and
settlement nearly five million acres.
But is 1t right to pass such a law =? The
South needs railroads more than ever,
and even the negroes they need them.
The proposition to take away this boon
is but another evidence Of thu purpose
of the Radicals to crush The Soutbsen
peopleto powder. !

This was Nh elegant affair on the
evening ofthc 20,h December. Rare
taste was displayed in the arrangement
of the tables, and the delicate and rich
cdibles, contectionerios, &c, with
which those tables were loaded. And
we c mot forego our thanks to such
estimabte ladies as Mrs, DR.. Bone, and
Mrs. N. NJ. Henderson, especially, for
the perfect skill with which they made
all feel at home. We can think Of moth
ing 0 expressive Of our apprecia

perfectly elegant. And the happy smiles
which wreathed and adorned the faces
of the fair students were eladdening to
our heart. Those students will enter
with renewed zeal upon their studies
after the brief recreation which the hol-
idays have afforded them. They will
love their teachers more for such gen
tic and especial interest manifested in
making them happy as we'll as learned
in literature and science. 1t is just
such fairly earned and well-exercised
control over the hearts and minds Of
their pupils as must render Mr.. Nc

does not become 4 thorny way, nor

by cold theorists who seem to forget

NEGRO Boy KILLED.-On Friday last
a negro boy, some IL or IA years old,
was killed at Dechcrd, and, it is sup
posed, by a white boy named Josephus
Roddy. On Saturday evening a trial
was had in this place, before Esqr.
Finch. who, after hearing all the evil
dence from white and black witnesses,
and argument bycounsel on both sides,
set the prosecuted at liberty, and very
properly too, for it was shown by wit
nesses, both white and black, that the
deceased was a boy of bad and quarrel
some character, and that he had cursed
the white boys as "damned poor white
stripe" and was advancing upon young
Roddy Ga boy some - years old) with
Il self.cocking loaded pistol-that Rod
dy retreated backward to a q on the
r. r. track, and after throwing two
70 ks, which the negro lodged, by a
quick movement darted under the pis-
tol and struck the negro Gin the belly"
1t was not proven that Roddy had any
knife, but the presumption is, that he
had one and cut the negro.
We understand that the negroes are
greatly displcased at the verdict OF
Esqr. Finch, but this is owing to their
ignorance and prejudice against the
whites, all of which is due to the infer
nal teachings Of Loyal Leagues, and
the ignorant but natural stupidity with
which the negro follows the advice of
those who delude him with confisca-
ton ideas, or ideas of wholesale rob
berry. The white boy, Roddy, was
proven by a host of witnesses, for
whom he had worked and to whom he
had been to school, to be q gold, in
dustrious boy, with a good character for
peace, The opposite character was
proven for the negro boy. Yet, the
ignorant negro seems to think the
white boy ought to have allowed him
self to be Killed before protecting him,
self. We hope no boy ofours will ever
be such a fool.
But this carrying Of concealed wcap.
ons, by ,ither white or black, is a Ian
gc1ous practice. Hardly u day passes
that we do not observe negroes with
guns, proving about our streets. And,
if the truth was known, no doubt the
Loyal League has furnished them with
weapons for such emergencies as are
necessary to grind down intelligence
and worth, that a few rascals may
flourish in power and profit.
We oppose the carrying Of conceal
ed weapons, by white or babboon. We
all are weak-we all are human. None
are 80 under self control as to omit
from their prayers, LEAD us not into
temptation" 10 on angry man, or
boy, who has pistols in his pockets, the
temptation to shoot is often quite ir-
resistible. Let us keep the pistols out
Of his pockets, by fines and imprlson-
ment, itneed be, and we will save him
from crime, and his victim from wounds
and death. In this case the arresting
officer might not have a chance to cut
his high capcrs and present pistols,
and arrest whole families in the name
Of the United States, and talk about
using ropes to drag little boys to jus
ticc, as did the newly appointed
Constable, W. G. Krume, according
to the testimony of Mrs. Roddy.

A Shocking Affair-The Elephant
"Romeo" Crushes his Keeper
to Death.

" eat
(From the Philadelphia Inquirer)
A portion of Forcpaugh's menagerie,
including all the larger animals, among
which was the huge elephant Romeo
has lately been placed in winter quart
ers in the village Of Marlborough, in
Montgomery County, sixteen miles
north Of this place. This elephant had
created quite q sensation in the past
year by his performances, and, being
suddenly immured in n great cage, had
become moody Of late.
On Wednesday morning last his kee-
per, MI. w. s. Williams, went in to see
him. and ordered "Romeo" to perform
sundry tricks, which he obstinately re.
fused to do, and was whipped. To.
wards evening of the same day, Mr..
Williams carried some water into the
cage, then barred the door and tried to
wash "Romco's" face and tusks. He
had no sooner approached within the
reach of the massive trunk Of the ell
plant than the latter threw it out, and
winding it about the unfortunate man,
hurled him to the ground, and again
and again thrust his broken tusk into
the body ofhis victim. The limbs and
arms Of Williams were crushed by the
blows OF the enraged animal. The
piercing shrieks for help from Will
liams drew to the scene a little boy,
who m Immediately ran for aid. Several
men broke into the barred cage, but
were too late to save the wounded man,
who, after on hour of intensc suffering,
expired.

Katerina soon set aside all his scrupIes
