A SONG FOR TIE WHITE TRASH. 1.-The
Bedford Chronicle says, We have just seen new
song, Of two verses, which we hasten to lay be-
arged by additional verses, as the beauties Of
the new system become more fully developed !!
In the meantime our tax payers can practise
upon these two verses and by the time they
get so they can sing them with the spirit and
understanding, "they will probably be furnished
a few more of the same sort "
"Old Uncle Ned, fro down dat hoe !
And Dinah, drop dat kitchen dough
We now are Tree, wild nothin to do
But to dance all ight and all day, too
Dc poor white trash have noi1in to say,
But to work work and de taxes pay,
While de Dressed darkies dance dar fill,
Let de white trash foot de fddler's bill ~
The intelligence Of the success Of the sloan"
to pay the Virginia Convention, was received
with great JOY by the members Of that assem-
blage. The Richmond Wing says:
Jessie Brown did not catch the sound Of
the slogan Of the Highlander when in belea
guered Lucknow, with worse than death and
starvation imminent, with more ccstatic delight
then did the members Of the convention the
report of Mr.. Clements that himself and Judge
Underwood had procured the certain promise
of money enough to pay the expenses of the
body up to the 9th OF April. The agent Of
the financial concern willing to take the loan is
now in the city, and only awaits the action Of
General Schofeld, from whom Mr.. Clements
expected communication during the day
Mr.. Clements was neither interrupted by points
of order, outs Of order or disorder. He was
listened to with respectful aud grateful atten
ton by many who, on feeling in their pockets,
were forced to mutter, nary stamp.
The House of Representatives, yesterday,
agreed to the conference report upon the bill
ezempting certain manufactures from internal
tax As passed by the House it embraces most
of the features urged by the Senate. Pending
the discussion upon the subject, Mr.. Thaddeus
Stevens asked whether the ways and means
committee had ever considered the question Of
requiring conquered people to pay the greatest
proportion of the national debt in taxes Mr..
Schenck, the chairman of the ways and means
committee, replied that that subject had been
lett with the reconstruction committee; and he
said it in such way that Mr.. Stevens took Of
fence at what he called Mr. Schenck' s sneerlng
reply. The latter dsclaimed any intention to
snecr, and explained why his committee had
not touched the subject.

European dispatches give continuation OF
the debate in the British Parliament on the
Alabama claims. Lord Russell yesterday de-
Tended the policy pursued by Great Britain
towards the United States, during the war,
concerning the Confederate cruisers. Lord
Westbury denied the business of the claims OF
the U.S. A serious riot has occurred at the coal
mines at CharIeroi Belgium, between the op-.
eratives and the military, during which several
soldiers were killed.
There is no doubt that the officers who made
the arrest at Stafford the other day were inn
posed upon. 1t now appears that the person
arrested was not the Fenian Captain Deasy, as
at first supposed, although closely resembling
him. The authorities are now fully satisfied
that Deasy successfully escaped to the u. y.
The Fenians Thompson and Mullldy, who
we're tried for the murder Of Police Sergeant
Brett and convicted, and afterwards reprcved,
have been sentenced to imprisonment and hard
labor for life.
The Italian Government is taking active
measures to repress the system OF brlgandage
now prevalent in various parts of the kingdom.

THE HARD TINES In consequence, of the
dulness of business throughout the country in
many Of the mechanical and manufacturing
pursuits, and the scarcity ct employment for
laboring men, after lying Idle for weeks, they
have been compelled to 60 to work at the old
wages The working people have, however,
prospect OF relief from another quarter Z. e.,
in the large diminution OF taxes provided for
by the new bills, and which will doubtless en-
sure very considerable and speedy cheaper
ing Of many OF the articles of common consump-
ton. Every fall in the necessarics of life
means the same thing as an increase Of wages,
and every dollar Of wasteful taxation from
which the public is relieved is dollar added
to the means Of general welfare. IF the cost
OF living comes down, it will amount to the
same thing to the laborer as having his wages
so up; and the general business ofthe country
will be benefited by having the mode of relief

THE:REPORT OF GEN. GRANT.

The report of the General of the ar
mics for 1868, is decidedly Grantish in
its brcvity and point. He advocates
the transfer of the control OF Indian af-
fairs 80 the War Department, as recon-
mended year ago, and refers to the
recommendation of Lieutenant Gener-
al Sherman on the subject. While the
Indian war continues he does not deem
any general legislation for the reduc.
ton of the army advisable, but suggests
that when it is sale to do so. reduction
may be continued as at present pro-
crossing, viz : by allowing companies
ping appointments Of second lieuten-
alts. He thinks also that the Veteran
Reserve Corps might be discontinued
by absorption and retirement OF officers
and discharge of men, without detri-
mcnt to the service.

GENERAL / GRANTS VIEWS.

= Mr.. Boynton, correspondent. OF the
Cincinnati Gazette, says
In spite of General Grants reticence
enough has leaked out concerning. ms
views of the political situation and the
relation of parties to eflectually check
the prediction that Grant would dlsap-
point the Republicans, which slipped
SO glibly from Conservative lips a fort
night ago. He has talked freely re-
garding political matters with several
prominent Republicans, and while, of
course, no portion of this conversaloni
can be published, it is not too much to
say these persons have been struck,
both with the clear and comprehensive
view which the new President takes OF
public affairs and policy, and also thor
oughly satisfied with the earnestness
with which he supports the general fea-
lures of Republican policy. The gem
tlemsn thus satisfied are Radicals.
