The Defunct Senators.

We are inclined to think that there is
mere zeal displayed in defending the Re-
publican Senator'S who betrayed their trust
in tie matter of impeachment, than there
will he in denouncing them; and that the
defense, taken with the nature of ofitssource,
is more damaging TO them. To be Off
ciously defended by those who. .assailet,
them so long as they were Republicans,
aud faithful TO their country, is calculated
to give them an idea what bad company
their course has brought them to. tu illje
The Republican party will waste no
time denouncing these men. Denunciati0n
OF them is not needed 10 make public opin-
ion.- The popular verdict is fixed. These
Senators will liDger in moribund state
until their official terms expire They
have been tried and found wanting, and
there will be ne new trial. They must
have made up,their minds totry their chan
ces in some new party organization, before
| they cast their votes for the acquittal OF
Johnson; but in this they willfail. There
will be no faction in the Republican party
to sustain them, nor to demand that the
party shall approve them, and therefore
there can be no strife. They have dropped
out of the great current into the eddies.-
1t will roll on as powerful as ever, while
! their movements will cease to have any
| Significance, and they will cease to be
numbered among the living forces Gin

sfadyD and the Sea Captain.

IIadyn used to relate whimsical anec-

the navy came to him one morning and
asked him TO compose new song for
some troops he had on board, offering him
thirty guineas for his trouble, but requiring
it to he done Immediately, as the vessel
WAS TO sail the next day. As soon as the
Captain was gone, lIadyn sat at the piano

two other marches, intending first 10 give
the Captain his choice, and make him a

Next morning the Captain returned al d

The Captain asked io hear it on the

the thirty guineas, pocketed the march,
and walked away. Hadyn tried TO stop
him, but in vain-thc march was too good.
"But | have written two others, cried

Connerheads VS.. Soldiers,

1t is not generally understood, never
thclcss Ii is fact, that when the Visible
Admixturc bill was upon its passage in the
Senate, an amendment was offered, propo-
sing 10 disfranchise in connection with the
visible admixture population, "any person
who has borne arms in support of any in
surrection or rebellion against the Govern
ment of the United States, or any person
who belongs to any secret order or organi-
zaiion treasonable in its objects" But the
amendment was voted down, every Demo
crat voting against it. Thus with Demo
Gratis, rebels, white traitors, more sacred
than those colorcd men who enlisted in
the support of the Government, as this
same party voted down The amendment TO
exempt from the provisions of tie bill
''such persons of visible admixture as
have borne arms in defense of the Govern
ment of the United States in the recent
rebellion" An amendment was then of
fered providing that the provisions Of
this ect shall not apply TO persons having
visible adlnixture of African blood, who
have been crippled. manned or wounded
in fighting for the Union." From this it
will be seen that a white traitor is more

The Art of Making Money.

a sensible writer says: OF all the arts
that have ever interested humanity, this Is
the one which nine-tenlhs of the civilized
world most desire 10 understand and prac-
tice. Lectures have been delivered upon
il by practical men; but it is not on record
that the people who listened to them ever
made as much by the lesson they received
as they paid for the tickets of admission.
The truth is, that TO call moncy-malling
an art is mistake. To make money on
anything like a grand scale requires a
special faculty or combination of facul-
ties, with which not one man in n thou
sand is endowed. Whoever has this quail
fication can make fortune, though lie
may possess but the rudIments ef an
education; whoever lacks it will probably
taifto do so, though his mind is a store.
house of learning. What people mista-
kenly call the art of moneymaking is
simply the application of an inmate
knowledge of human nature to pecuniary
purposes. This inborn faculty of reading
the brain, and of the understanding how
TO make the most ofthe perussl, is a great
gift, and may be turned To account in
nobler ways, perhaps, than as a means OF
rcaping golden harvests. The manner of
TIE direction depends upon the other
faculties. If its posSessor loves riches
more than fame. it will make him rich; If
fame more than wealth, il will make him
famous. But. reader, if you have it not,
don't try To become a Cruesus by a coup
dc main in finance. The chances are
AL the world to- China orange that you
make disastrous and ridiculous failure.
Don't trust TO ''stroke of good luck" 10
make up for that Midas gift which turns
whatever it takes hold of into the circula-
ting medium. Strokes of luck, in the
strict sense of the word, are much more
rare than solar eclipses or any other un-
common celestial phenomena.
