Mr. HESpRicKs replied that that is matter OF
opinion, and that II Is not easy to form an estimate
when everybody that ever held an office Is disfran-
chscd. He proceeded reiterating his opinion OF the
purpose OF this bill, saying that the negroes being
maintained for this purpose VIII never become SELF
Mr. DRAKE pronounced the speech of the Senator
a bid for the democratic nomination, and insisted
that the verdict OF the country will be different from
what he nattered himself II would be. In reply to
question from Mr.. Hendricks, Mr.. Drake avowed
enfranchiseinent Of the blacks in all the States.
Mr.. WILSON thought, In view OF the last seven or
eight years, the Senator and his friends should be
sparng OF their predictions in regard to expressions
OF public opinions. Whoever shall be the demo-
cratic candidate they need not look to the southern
states for the result Of the election. He expected
the rebel States would be divided, but was assured
that twenty Northern States would vote for Grant.
The republican party had but done Its duty and that
it would 60 on to a full and complete triumph he
had no DOUBT. He believed that the Bureau has not
cost US dollar and, after stating the amount OF re-
lief given he pointed out the re-establishment Of a
system of labor and of law by the Bureau, and that
over forty million dollars has been received from
dollars have been received from the cotton tax. An
investigation would show that five dollars had been
in the Bureau He closed by pointing to the good
work done by the Bureau In educating the blacks DC
The debate was continued by Messrs PATTERSON,
(rep.) Of N. H., and DAVIS, (dem OF Ky, the latter
making long speech In denunciation OF the recon-
structon policy OF Congress-.
In the course of his remarks he yielded to allow
Mr.. STEWART to introduce bill relative to contested
elections in the city Of Washington, d. c., which
was referred to the Committee on the District of
Columbia.
Mr.. DAVIS remarked-Another step, Mr. President,

of his atfiicton, was necessary Inc needed accom-.
modations would cost $4,000 and to secure that

cleanliness.

While the unsuspecting King Dun
can was the recipient of Macbeth's
hospitality-for SO the story runs
the host conspired against the life of
the guest. With dagger, trembling
in the hand, the bloody intentions
were executed. From that hour
Macbeth's courage failed. To his
stolid wife he commits the dripping
knife; and she, determined that no
trace of the foul deed shall remain,
and no suspicion attach to her lord,
flies to the chamber of the murdered
King, and smears the sleepy groons
with blood. Twas thus the virago
would point suspicion to the innocent
and withdraw vengeance from her
own head. aa }'zT.sS,l
A similar game is being attempted
in the political manipulations of our
day. Radicalism, with ten thousand
professions of friendship, and while
rendering the air vocal with its pro.
testations of its devoticns, lay violent
hands upon the Constitution, and
foully murders it in the National
Capitol. The murderers stand aghast
rs they contemplate the ruin their
hands have wrought; upon the intk7.
cent and oppressed people of the
South they, in frantic terror, endea-
yor to fix their crime. But the
damned spot will not out" The
sentinels of Southern freedom do not
sleep at their posts, but are wide
awake, and no emissary of radicalism
can transfer to our garments the
blood or suspicion of the criminal
act. The bloody spots must and
shall remain where, in truth, they
belong. upon the skirts of the tyran2A
who direct and control the radical
hosts.-Petersbmg Express.

MAD-SToNE.-I went to the house
of Mr.. Evans, four miles from Mt.
Pulaski, to see the maidstone applied
to young man who had been bitten
by mad dog. I always supposed
this stone to be fabulous, but now 1
know better. A young man, aged
seventeen, was suffering from fit of
hydrophobia. He was strapped to a
chair prepared expressly for the pur-
pose, and the stone applied to his
thumb, where he had been bitten. It
adhered eleven times before all the
poison was exhausted. Each time
that it dropped off, it was bathed in
warm milk, and the poison settled on
the surface in the way of green scum.
The stone is porous one, in shape
resembling the half of an egg. The
hydrophobic young man is now as
well as anybody. Mr.. Evans has
made $500 out of his maidstone this
summer.-Letter in 81. Louis Times.

Gro,vls from tho Beast.

Beast Butler was in town, day or
two ago, on his way from Washing
ton to Lowell.
A personal acquaintance accosting
him on the steps of the Hoffman
House, asked him what he thought
of political prospects. -S'.-
Butle.-"Well. things are looking
we'll enough, but they would look
much better if we hadn't so many
ID lunatics connected with Re-
publican newspapers in this city"
Friend-"Who are the lunatics,
General?"
Butler-"Who? Why, there's old
Greeley, who is eternaliy making an
ass of himself, especially on the
financial question. His Tribune is
oil wrong on the bond business. We
shall lose Ohio, sure, and I've great
doubt whether we can make much of
fight even in Pennsylvania"
Friend-"By the way, General, I
see the Herald of this morning has
Hoped over again to our side Ben
nett is going in strong for Grant.
Isn't that good sign?"
Butler-'No; it's q id bad
sign. The copperheads, I have no
doubt, have hired old Bennett to
oppose Seymour and Blair, as one of
the most effective modes of electing
them"
Friend-"I say, General, how
about New York? Do you think we
can carry New York-the State, I
mean, not the city?"
Butler-"No, / don't think we can
carry New York; don't think we can
reverse the $4,000 copperhead ma
Jority against us year ago. But no
matter: If we can only get Grant
into the White House, by hook or
by crook, we can easily put New
York under martial law, so that Sey-
mour and his friends will not be able
to do any serious mischief"
Friend-"In that case. General,
where will your place be?"
Butler "Here. sir; right here!
The Hoffman House will be my
headquarters. I shall be Military
Governor here. My opportunity will
then have come for settling accounts
with those supporters of Governor
Seymour who pelted me with rotten
eggs in front of the City Hall, two
summers since"

OF the hotel was seen to be carefully
packing up her table linen, at the
