nr. Brooks tells the Radicals what the
Democrats will Do.

In the House on Friday Mr.. Brooks,
Of New York, said:
1--WE intend to undo what has been
done by this Congress, and we shall,
sooner or later, have the power with
in the walls of the House to undo it
all These proceedings in Ohio and
New Jersey are but the beginning of
the revolution which has already made
its appearance elsewhere; and the pre-
cedents and prerogatives and powers
which the majority in this House is
now assuming in the most revolution
ary manner we intend to make use of
to undo all these revolutionary and
violent proceedings. So the honoroble
gentleman from Massachusetts might
as we'll make up his mind now to see
the beginning Of this great reaction
ary movement. We do not intend to
deprive the negroes of the South of
their liberty. We intend to allow
them fve>hfths representation, not a
three>ffths one, which the negroes in
the North are having, But we do not
intend to allow, so far as we can help
it, the people Of the North to be
brought into negro co-partnership in
government on the floor of this House,
or to be ruled by the black majorities
by rotten borough negro constituen.
cies in the South. We do not intend
to be ruled by any such government
as that, and all the processes of legis.
lation by which that has been reached
or is to be reached Through State
Legislatures, as in Ohio; through State
action, as in New Jersey; through
$4,000 popular majority in my own
State, to be increased next year te
100000. If this House goes on with
those proceedings VIC intend to undo
them all. I repeat, that everything
which has been done is to be undone
The voice of the people is no Longer
to be heard in whispers, but in the
loud roar ofthe whirlwind, comiDs
; from all parts of the country; and it

FIFTH DAY.
SATURDAY, Jan. IS, 1876

SATURDAY, Jan. IS, 1868.
The Convention came to order at l |
clock.
Mr.. Tourgee presented a memorial
from THE Friends Freedmen's AS
sociation Of Philadelphia" He hoped
chat it would receive the careful con-
sideration OF the House, and asked that
it be referred to the Committee on Ed
ucation, when such Committee was
formed.
Mr.. Kinney presented similar me-
mortal,
Mr.. Heaton, from the Committee of
Sixteen, to whom was referred the re-
solution Of Mr.. Pool, Of Pasquotank,
upon the subject of legislation by the
Convention offered the following re-
port:
1.-THE Committee Of Sixteen, to
whom was referred the resolution OF
Mr.. Pool, Of Pasquotapk, have had
the same under consideration, and re-
port the following as substitute there
for:
Reso7yed, That the Convention be-
ing called to frame a Constitution and
civil government, in accordance with
the Acts Of Congress, will proceed in
the discharge of that duty, as speedily
as practicable"
Mr.. Tourgee moved its adoption
and it was carried
Mr. Grant of Wayne, moved that
the Convention go into an election of
an Engrossins Clerk, and nominated J.
E. O'Hara, (negro,) for the position
Mr.. Hcaton, of Craven, moved to
elect by reclamation.
MIR Sweet called attention to Rule
No. 16, as applicable to such eases.
After quite a lengthy. debate upon
the proper construction Of the Rule,
it was determined to let the matter drop
until resolutions regularly came up.
Mr.. Bradley offered the following
reS1,'4if9n. which lies over the rule:
Resof0eo' s'--+ Committee Of three
be appointed to wait npvn His Excel.
| lency, the Governor Of North Carolina
land inform him of the orga nization of
lthe Convention and that it is now readv
to receive any communication he may
desire to make.

The affair needs no comment--it
speaks for itself-Rich. Enquirer.
The Washington correspondent of
the New York World writes under
date Of the 10Th as follows:
The country may be assured that
civil or so-called provisional govern
ments in the South will be dispensed
with, that an absolute military despo.
tism will reign there, that an absolute
military chief will direct, independea-
tly of the direction of the President,
the military commanders who are al
ready or are to be appointed to dis,
pense the will Of Congress to the pee
pie of the Southern States and that
military chief will be General Grant

cal congressman, it is certain that
Ulysses S Grant General, is shorn of
his hitherto mysterious prestige, and
bound not to kick against the traces to
which he is harnessed at last, while
the bab.ing tongues that are never
motionless in Washington ascribe to a
convivial propensity, for which great
commanders mentioned iu history
were remarkable, the neglect Of Gen
eral Grant to meet his engagement on
Monday with President Johnson.-
The truth is, that his negleLs was a
piece of turpitude that surprised evel1
some Of the Radicals who wee n0tgn
the secret.
The Generals visit to the House t.
day was an indication of his nervous
ness. He has twice since Monday con
ferred with the President and made
very unsatisfactory explanations. His
word of honor, according to the ex>
| plicit statement of Mr.. johnson to me
and to members Of Congress to dav,
was violated. He has displayed in
this affair Of the surrender of the
War Department to Stanton, a some-
what less successful art than that W hich
he displayed at the time of Mr. Stan
tons disposition by the President lie
is reduced now to the real necessity Of
fl hting it out in his own behalf on
two lines; one connected with the Pres
ldent and one connected with Congress
He wishes to remain friendly with Mr..
johnson as long as Mr.. johnson is
not wholly deprived of his powers and
to make friends of the members Of
Congress who intend to impeach the
President the instant that shall be pos
sible. Mr.. Johnson's undertaking
course may now lead him at any time
into worse dilemma than Ashley and
Ben Butler succeeded in getting him
into last December. The Radicals an
nounced this evening that not only
every measure which the last and pre-
sent Congress had consummated would
be carried out but thPt the Repub?

Wouldn't Take Twenty DOL
lars.

Some waggish students at Yale
College, few years since, were re-
calling themselves one evening at the
''Tontine," when an old farmer from
the country entered the room (sup-
posing it was the bar room and in.
quired if he could obtain lodging.
The young chaps Immediately an
swered in the affirmative, inviting
him to take a glass of punch. The
old fellow who was shrewed Yam
kee, saw at once that he was to be
made the but of their jests, bat
quietly laying off his hat and telling
worthless little dog he had with
him to lie under the chair, he took n
glass of the proffered beverage.
The students anxiously inquired af-
ter the health of the old mans wife
and children, and the farmer, with
affected simplicity, gave them the
whole pedigree, with numerous anec-
dotes about his farm, stock, DC.
do you belong to the church,"
asked one of the wags.
'.Yes, the Lord be praised, and so
did my father before me-"
well, l suppose You wouldn't
tell lie:" added the student
mot for the world" replied the
farmer.
"Now, what will you take for that
dog?" pointing to the farmers eur,
who was not worth his weight in Jer-
sey mud.
81 wouldn't take twenty dollars
for that dog"
Twenty dollars? why, he's not
worth twenty cents"
"Well, / assure you / would not
take twenty dollars for him."
4 'sCome, my friend" said the stu
dent, who, with his companions, was
bent on having some fun with the
old man. "Now you say you won't
tell a lie, for the world, let me see if
you will not do it for twenty dollars.
I'll give you twenty dollars for your
dog" n
''I'll not take it, replied the old
man. -
: You will not? Here, let us see
if this Won't tempt you to tell lie, y
added the student, producing small
bag of half dollars, from which he
counted small piles on the table, the
| farmer sitting with his hat in his
hand, apparently unconcerned.
There" said the student, s.there
are twenty dollar, all in silver. I'll
| give you that TO. your dog
The old farmer raised his hat to
the edge of the table, and then as
quick as thought, scraped all the
money into it except one half dollar,
at the same time exclaining: si'll
not take twenty dollars, Nineteen
and half is as much as he is worth
he is your property"
! A tremendous laugh from his fel-
low students showed the would be
vag that he was completely "done
mp" and that he need not look FOL
help from that quarter; SO he good
! naturedly acknowledged himself
beat, insisted on the old farmer tn
king another glass, and they boil
parted in great glee--the student re
tanning his dog. which he keeps ctt
this day, as a lesson to him neve
to attempt to play tricks on mel
older than himself, and especially t,
be careful how he tries to wheedle al
old Yankee farmer.
