AN EXPENSIVE ADVERTISEMENT.

The Berlin Gerichts Zeihmg tells the
following: ~ rich merchant of the
Prussian capital is the happy parent of
a beautiful and accomplished daughter,
who was courted by n young physician.
Ii seems that the suitorhad made a bet
ter impression upon the parents than
upon his atlored one, because it was on
ly upon the entreaties of the parents
that the young lady consented to ac-
cept her lover. According to the GUS
tom prevailing in Berlin. an advertise
ment was sent to two of the city pa
pers, conveying the joyful news of the
bctrothal of the young couple TO rela-
tiyes and frieudsland public in general.
But, alas! before the next day closed,
the afiianced pair quarreled, and the en-
gagement was dissolved by mutual con-
sent. The enraged father flew to the
newspaper offices to take out the ad-
vertisemcnt of the betrothal now bro
ken up, but the whole edition of the
supplementary sheet (coutaIning the

YE EMMERRYxrN xoNaRIs.

Gov. Seymour OF Ny. draws the
following picture of the Radical party
and our? National Legislature o
The war is ended, but peace has not
returned. We have won the victory,
but our Union is not restored. Our
land is filed with mourning and dis
tress, but anger, malice, and revenge
are not softened. The, noble strife Of
arms has ceased, but the ignoble strlig-
gle for power, plumber, and place goes
ON. Congress has done more to ces-
troy the Union, to break down the fab
rio Of our Government, aud to effacc the
maxims and principles of our people,
than was ever aimed at by the rebellion.
Its system of tyranny and corruption
has not even the merit OF being we'll
defined, intelligent, nor consistent. 1t
has been bewildered for want of intelli-
gcnce inconsistent and inconstant for
want of principle; cruel from eowar-
dice, and brutal from its instincts.
The policy of Congress is more crnel
toward the blacks than the whites. -
These poor people who are now on trial
to test their capacity to take care of
themselves, are'thrustinto positions de-
mandng wisdom, learning, and exper-
fence. The want of these In their con-
ventions and official life has exposed
them to the ridieule of the world, andis
a serious hindrance to their progress.
t has filled their minds with false views
and hopes. It has turned them away
from the duties of life. 1t has inisled
them as to the need oi virtue, intelli-
gencc, and industry, Its pushing them
back into barbarism by making them
feel they can hold power before they
have learned the demands of social lite
and liberty. 5t,aifif :.1ail avn
So much for this miserable mutldlc of
reconstruction. How can a Congress
satisfy the people which cannot satisfy
itself, That has never been able to
keep upon one course for six months
That condemns and and sliames itself
by constant change, repeal and amend
nfents. - r
Their action upon tariffs and business
interests has beeu equally laundering.
inconsistent, and imbecilc. 1t keeps
our merchants and manufacturers In u
condition of uncertainty, and all agree
! that q perpetual Congress b u perpet-
nal curse. Within the past few. years it
has made nearly monthly changes in the
tariffs. Ii binders labor and enterprise
| by heavy burtllcns aud hunts down our
merchants and manufacturers william
army of official spies and iniormers, and
it gives these the power to ruin men of
limited means by false charges. 1t pitts
our Government not only in light that
is hateful, but what Is more dangerous,
| it makes it pitiable. ,....4-

THE NEW ELECTORAL LAW FOR TIL

The bill amendatory to the recon-
strllction acts il, now, a law, the Presi-
dent having failed to return it to the

Registration In Richmond has ended.
The result may be gathered from what
the Dispatch says, to wit:-u1'he white
mea Of this city who refused or neglec-
ted to register last fall have nearly all
now done SO. The gain in this city, not
withstanding that the blacks also regis
tered more names than they did last
year, amounts to over one thousand
Richmond constitutes less than one
twentieth of the State. and as the whites
of the country registered even less gen.
q orally last year than did those of Rich
inond, it may be safely assumed that
when the lists are again opened we shall
add twenty thousand to the white ma
jority in the State-tiius making that
majority between thirty aud forty thou
rand. tsss '''o' = 20 i''43t l'I re
We have consistently maintained all
the while that there could be no danger
as to the future Of Virginia. A white
majority of thirteen thousand was sufii-
cient assurance that the whites must
have the rule in this State. But with a
majority of forty thousand voters-which
indicates majority in population Of
two hundred thousand-this assurance
is rendered ..doubly sure" We already
have the State. o..,..,i 1890, I
The fortunate result In Richm ond Is
due to ,untiring exert,ons upon the part
Of Che white men to bring out every vo-
ter Of their own color. We trust that
this example will be initiated through
out the State when the lists shall be
opened again. There can be no excuse
for supineness.. The way to victory lies
plain before US. Let us walk in 1t.
There are many reasons why every
white man in Virginia should register,
and none why be should not register.
We have mentioned some of them-not
that we believe the people Of the coun-
try to be. less yigilant than those u
Richmond, but because we may induce
some few to register who have been
hesitating as to whether they should do
