A "playful" wife in Springfield,
Massachusetts,, sent a note to her hus-
band recently, written in a disguised
hand, signed with a fictitious name,
stating that she had often seen and ad-
mired him, and if he would inform
her of a place of meeting she would
go over to the rooms and they would
become better acquainted. Husband
answered the note at once, appointing
time and place of meeting. Both par
ties met at the appointed place, the
lady heavily veiIed, and proceeded to
the rooms, where the veil Was renlov-
ed, and a grand tableau, not down in
the bill, ensued. Assurance made on
the part of the husband that It was
nothing but joke, and that he knew
it was her all the time. Wife is hav-
ing a stylish bonnet, new cloak, and
elegant dresses made.

any exhibition of temper except upon

HalIeck summoned his Generals to a
council of war to determine upon the
best means for disIodging the enemy,
One after another was called upon for
his views. When Grant suggested
his plan,Of attack, he pOOh-pOOhed it in
the most insulting manner. The form
er made no reply. His lower lip,
however, became very tremulOus,
showing that he keenly felt the in
dignity and upon returning to his
tent was depressed for hours. He yet
made no allusiOn to the occurrence, be-
yond remarking to his Chief of Staff
that Halleck had deeply wrOnged him.
Subsequently, when Beauregard had

A Hard Hit.

The freedmen in kentucky held
convention lately, and the President
on taking the chair, mado a sensible
and excellent speech, closing as fA-
lows:
"We don't ask for social equality.
l never saw that white woman yet
that looked so well, in my eyes, as a
good brown colored woman. And if
it wasn't so, we don't need their So
cial equality doctrine, because d. our
friends, the white folks, have kindly
managed it so that we have every
shade to choose from, from the deepest
jet black to the purest white. Laugh
ter, and as there are no ladies present,
alEOw mo to say that the practice of
social equality has not been On our
side, but on the part Of the whites,
who, in their dark and devious ways,
were not always able, let us charita-
bly, suppose, to tell black from white.
This social equality has not been
sought by us; but they have rnn after
US; and%hOugh we have been emanci-
pated and free they haven't stopped.
A vOice-We'Il stop it when we get
the testimony.
eyes, that's so. They had better
not come my way even now. We say
to them, tLet us alone; we don't want
any mixture If they had let me
alone I might have known what color
l was; bat as it is, my greatest trouble
lis to keep my hair just right.
Don't talk about social equality. If l
was a white man in Kentucky, 1
would hide my head; I wouldn't t mem
tion it, with so many evidences stand
ing around Of my social equality.
We don't want any more Of it. Keep
on your own side of the line, and we'll
keep on our side; and ia the course of
time we'Il get back where God left u.s."
Cheers and applause.
kentucky is not the only place we
Eot of, where the above good advice
might be given to a certain class Of
white men Who profess to be greatly
afraid of ''higger equality" but whose
actions give the lie to their words.

Our New Ruler.
From The ". Y. World.

From The ~ Y. World.
II is stated in the New York Tribune that
there is now in Washington "a negro with
genuine kinky wool" who claims a seat in
Congress from q Louisiana district, and is not
''unliBely to get it," Such being the proba-
bility, let us consider the powers of this gen
tleman on being sworn in.
He is to apportion representation and direct
taxes "among the several States which may
be included within this Union"-uot to speak
of those now out of this Union, as Vir-
ginia, Texas, and Missssippi to deter
mine, in any given case, whether a member
elect from New York, Ohio, or Indiana is
eligible to a seat beside him; to raise reve-
nue.; to override vetOes; TO lay taxes; to bor-
row money on the credit of the United States;
to regulate commerce; to establish a uniform
rule of naturalization for the oountrymen Of
Emmet and of Schiller; to coin money; to
promote the progress of science and useful
arts to define the law of nations to declare
war; to raise armies; support navy; make
rules for the government and regulation of the
land and naval forces, not omitting to regulate
Sherman, Sheridan, Farragut, West Point,
and Annapolis; to exclusively govern Wash
ipgton City and the District of Columbia-hail
Columbia; and, in fine, "to make all laws
which shall be necessary aud proper for car
rying into execution the foregoing powers,
and all other powers vested by this Consti-
tuition in the Government of the United States,
or in any department or officer thereof"
With these powers we do not hear that this
gentleman, "with genuine kinky WOOL ever
fought nobly, though he is to make war and
rule armies; nor, though he is "to promote
the progress of science and useful arts" do
we hear of any mental ooruscations on his
part indeed, it is even stated by the New York
Tribune to the contrary that che does not be-
long to the best educated class of French
negroes in New Orleans this gemman don't;
nor, though he is to lay taxes, raise revenue,
borrow money, and coin coin, does it seem but
that he has on occasion slipped of the soup and
munched of the bread and the beef provided
by the Freedmens Bureau.
But then, on the word of the Tribune, he
has ga complexion that might fairly enough
or (darkly enough) indicate at least three
fOurths African blOOd.n This is enough.

Importance Of an Alliance Between the
United States and Asia.

From "Brick" Pomeroy's ~ y. Democrat
MIR. Cesare Moreno is an Italian gentleman
who, after having devoted half his life TO the
study of Asia, desires to devote the other half
in enlightening us upon that subject. lie has
particular ideas as to the great advantages we
would derive from regular intercourse with
that country; and what we have heard from
his plan induces us TO think that his object is
a praiseworthy one, aud deserves encourage
ment.
There is no doubt that Asia, situated as it
is between Russian enorOaohments and Eug-
lish spoliation, would certainly grasp eagerly
the hand of any friendly power who would
interpose itself between the two invaders.
This task is q noble one, and it is in that light
that it ought to be looked upon by our people
and 10y our Government.
TO do it successfully, however, we want
a European ally sufficiently rich and powerful
TO assist us in establishing in Asia that ooun-
terpoise which is known in diplomatic circles
as the balance of power. If Mr.. Seward was
looking carefully upon the map of Europe, he
would certainly find one. An alliance of that
kind would give us in the eastern and south
ern part Of Asia an influence which would ne
cessarily be felt in our relations with China,
destined, to become at some future time,
one of the greatest tributaries OF the United
States.
Mr.. Cesare Moreno is preparing, upon his
travels in Asia, book, which will be out in a
couple of weeks. If that work contains, as we
think, useful and reliable information upon
the subject alluded to, we shall be happy to
give summary Of it to our readers, who will
then be enabled to judge for themselves of its
Importance, as well as of the char aoter Of the
mission of Mr.. Moreno in this country.

have spread over portions Of Indiana, aud
wrested the machinery Of the courts to their
fell purposes. They have not been content
with usinP the poniard Of the assassin, but
have seized upon the sword Of Justice herself.
Much as we may deplore the crime by which
the citizens have avenged these outrages, we
can hardly wonder at It. They felt that the
law gave them no redress; brute violence was
their only resource.
The root of the evil is a corrupt judiciary.
The remedy is at the ballot-box. So long as
we stain the ermine by throwing it over the
foul shoulders of an unjust Judge, so long
must we expect to see the bench despised and
murder usurping the functions of the law.
The massacre at the Indiana Jail is full of les
sons for New York. How long will it be, II
we keep on our present course, before vigi-
lance committees will break open our own
prisons and execute summary vengeance upon
criminals whom they dare not trust to venal
officers of the law

The Indiana Jail Murders,

From Ute ~. Y. tribune.
The recent outrage at New Albany, Indiana,
where party of men forced their way into
the county jail and hanged four prisoners who
were awaiting trial for an express robbery, is
one of the most mOrtifying but at the same
time one of the most instructive occurrences
which we have had to chronicle for a long
time. 1t is not 50 much that our Govern
ment seems to have failed in making rea-
sOnable provision for the safety of prisoners
who were known to be threatened by the
mob, and to whom we guaranteed a fair
trial when we demanded their extradition
from Canada; but our fault lies much deeper
than that. The Renos and Anderson would
never have been lynched if the people had
trusted in the uprightness of the courts. For
years past justice is said to have been almost
unknown in certain counties of Indiana The
forms of law have been a mOokery; trial has
been farce; judges have been corrupt; juries
have been forsworn; crime has organized and
taken the administration of Justice into its
own hands; members of gangs of thieves and
highwaymen have held up their heads with
the most respectable people; there has been

A Curious Congress on Caleb Cushing.

From 1te ~. Y. Times.
Since the day when Colonel Campbell made
his mastery Mexican move, including the
strategic advance on New Orleans and the st.
Charles Hotel, there has been nothing in
diplomacy like this excitement over Caleb
Cushing. Where has he gone; what to do;
and who pays the bills? Congress is in fever
over it; so are the correspondents 80 is the
press; so is the public. Everybody in general
and Mr.. Hunter of Indiana, in particular is
wrung with curiosity. With tue Prince of
Denmark, Mr.. Hunter cries, "Lst ma not burst
in ignorance, but tell me why" etc, etc.
Unmoyed either by the tOrturing paugs of a
curious Congress or by the spectacle of Mr..
Hunter as "IIamlet, meanwhile" says our
Washington correspondent, "Mr. Seward is
said to enjoy the muddle very much, and
delights in telling people, as he will tell Con-
gress, where Mr.. Gushing has not gone to-"
lie has gone to London, to put his finger in
the Alabama pie; or no, to Madrid, to drive
trade for Cuba or no, again, but he is really
gone to Bogota to dig Dutch Gap through
the Isthmus, and let the Pacific into the
Atlantic. And, after all, what if he had gone
neither to England nor to New Grenada, nor
yet TO Spain, but to Madagascar, to exchange
that plated diplomatic coffee pot for a solid
one, under pain of declaring war;
Congress, in this grieVous uncertainty,
eudgels its dull brains for q solution, and
popping upon Spain (wby poor Spain y sus-
pends its rules that Mr.. Hunter may ask the
Secretary Of State il he has sent ''any COM
missioner" thither, and if so, why, and on
what wages, and whether he "inds himself"
and how he (Mr seward) is going to raise the
money to foot the bills. Now, suppose the
Secretary says no-not any not any Com
missioner to Spain. In what better plight is
the HOuseY
Why, on Mr.. Hunters plan, that body will
have to print blank form of query, and
then put in successive names instead of
Spain (as England, New Grenada, Madagascar,
CaDnibal Isles), till it hits right-an amusing
geographical puzzle for boys at Christmas
time, but exasperating to curious Congress.
The truth Island we offer the solution gratis
Congress must SSme out bluntly, suspend

its rules, and ask the Secretary plainly,
"Where has MIR. Gushing gone, how many
trunks did he take, and what are his wages,
and all about it," And then, il Mr.. Seward
should reply, as he did the other day to Mr..
Woods resolution about the Alabama discus
sion, that direct answer would be 'prema-
ture and incompatible with public interests"
Congress could console itself with the relec
tion that, like Sempronius, it had more than
Commanded suocess''-it had deserved it,"
