A SCENE IN CONGRESS.

The new so-called Southern Renre-
sentatives denoninated .carpet-bae-
gers" must needs exhibit themselves
to the galleries by speeehifying on the
floor, and the Democratic members
made themselves merry at their unique
display. The other day Mr.. Devices,
(who went South IL year or two ago,
and was employed by the Freedman's
bureau as horse demonstrating some
time since invented a specific for the
bots,) rose in the House to advocate the
bill providing Springfield rifles to be
furnished the Southern negroes, A
DemocrBt, feeling or prctendrg to feel
great interest in what was about to be
uttered, and waggishly assuming the
attitude of listening intently without
ability to hear distinctly, sua eested

the Speakers desk. The fool being
battered. proceeded to do so. in spite of
the vehement eXpostulations of the Rad
lcal leaders; and, TO the infinite graft
ficatIon of the audience, was taken
through delectable "course of sprouts"
by MIR. Brooks and made to confess
that Reconstruction" was worse than
u failure. dnd that unless it was accom-
panied by the bayonet must lead to an

icals: inveterately opposed to adjourn
ment, caved in, confessing that it would
not do to 'sstand upon tile order of po-
ing" but to ''go at once" "G reat

"let's put Il stop to this.''

A WARNING VOICE.

In the debate in the House of Repre-
sentatives, Thursday, Mr.. Washburn
spoke decidedly against the scheme for
''distributing arms to the sloil citizens
North and Soutl-the latter especially.
He SAID: 81 tell you gentlemen beware
before You pass this measure, lest 1t is
not an inc;tatiol to civil war and in
.surrectiOn in those States.' [Great eX-
cltemNpt in the House, MIR. Boynton,
OF North Carolina, said:
at is proposed now to send arms to
North Carolina, that the people may
Use them against each other. Great
God We cannot afford to fight each
other. Keep away your arms, do moth
ing to irritate our people, but do every
thing in your power to assuage and
heal the excitement there. We want
no arms. IVAN the House that If arms
are sent there, we will be ruined. We
cannot live there. If we need anything
in the way of arms in Gods name send
an army OF the u. S. there; but do not
arm neighbor against neighbor. There
never was more mischIevous measure
than this proposition to arm one class of
our people against another. y

He dresses in the old style shad belly

leaving opena diamond shaped-portion
of irreproachable,,whi linen and very
neatly arranged nccktie of moderate di-
mansions. The head is we'll shaped and
set gracefully back on a firm pair OF
shoulders, and the lower part of the
face below the eyes, is almost perfect
oval. The eyes are of brilliant brown
color and shine like diamonds beneath
a firmly balanced forehead, which is
bald-the badness extending as far
back as the back part of the skull. The
mouth is pleasant and mobile, and when
Seymour smiles at you, the feeling pro-
dueed is genial one. This is a cul-
tured man, man of free tastes and
high purposes, a man of elegant diction
and also of powerful ANALYSIS. The
skin OF the face is sallow, and a thin
seam of white whiskerS cneircles the
throat under the chin. The dress of
Seymour is i'll perfect accordance with
good taste, for Hordtio Seymour is a
gentleman first. last. and all the time.

fled and yet graceful. Ills voice is cor
rect in his intonations, full, and when

hands when lifted in air, are white like
a woman's, and the fingers slenderly
shaped. When speaking all eyes and
ears are turned his way, and his inill-
ence over large body of men is mag
netic and thorough. To the humbet
man in the party he is courteous, polite
and kind in his manner.

LITERARY JOURNALS IN THE SOUTH

Whenever one of these enterprises is
inaugurated. we tremble for the pub
FISHERS, for past experience has clearly
taught that the people of the South are
too Indifferent to the establishment OF
a permanent and distinctive literature,
The fiashy and trashy publications OF
the North have always superseded the
more sober and solid efforts of South
ernmen. This is deplorable, but strict
ly true, and it is with pain that we re-
cord it. But we are pleased to know
that revolution has begun in this re-
snect, and that portion of the South
ern people, at least, are awake to the
necessity of sustaining periodicals, and
newspapers OF their own stamp, having
the ring of the true metal about them.
This pleasing truth is evident by the
appearance and manifest stability OF
two literary journals now upon Our ia
bic. The Southern Home journal, edited
and published by J. Y. SLATER, Esq.
Baltimore. Md, at So per annum, is
one of the handsomest papers on this
continent, and is conducted with mark
ed ability, having full corps of the
most popular Southern writer's as con-
tribHtors to its columns. The Banner
of the South, published at Augusta, Geo.,
by l.. T. BLoME & Co., at SO per year,
Is edited by that universally admired
and highly accomplished poet-priest,
Father RYAN, and bears the impress
of his remarkable genius and versatile
talent all over its pages These jour-
mails rank with the foremost in the land
tor general interest and ability, aid
both deserve unlimited success and the
most extensive patronage. Prosperity
seems to have dawned upon their ef-
forts, and their permananey is beyond
peradventurc. Will not the people of
this section join their brethren in sus-
tanning stich noble and exalted repre-
sentatives of Southern literature? We
will act as agents for either of these
journals, and forward subscriptions at
any time.

WANTED SADLY.

Very many thousands ofladics, young
and middle-aged, in these Southern
States are pining for something to do.
They are able, willing, anxious to work
but work cannot be found. Against
their earnest wishes, they are consum-
ers and observation-disclosures perforce,
as it were. All clnnot teach. Sewing
will not pay. Strong young men drive
them out ofstores and hundreds oflight
occupations for which they are fitted.
Now what is most sadly wanted is
some man or woman of genius to de-
wise occupations for these ladies, by
which, without degrading themselves.
they may be enabled to win their own
bread. How gladly would they do so,
IF the way were open. Who will point
out that way? The question has been
asked repeatedly, but never answered.

SHORT OBSERVATIONS.

Who ever expected to live to see the
day when every paper in the State Of
Virginia would be found flying the
Democratic flag at its mast mead? How
sweet it is to see brethren in unity
Humor is dead i'll this unhappy land.
From Canada to Key West, from
Charleston to San Francisco, the entire
press is reduced to JOSH BILL1NGslsMs.
No one has yet attempted 30 explain
satisfactorily the fuss made over Rev.
erdy JoHNsoN's going to Europe. Pos
sibly his friends do not expect him to
return alive. His speeches indicate
considerable debility.
A Confederate General has a cottage

Handsome the sincere zeal with
which Southern editors are proving

They show it so plainly that we see
more than we want to see.

III calling attention of our readers to
the claims of the Piedmont Company,

have to remark simply that it is not
merely Southern but Virginian in

its basis we believe to be rs firm if not

so with STRATToN. AS the coons had to

come down to Stratton. There was no
use in saying no, or in pretending not
TO have money. STRATToN would take
no denial, and one after another succum

GEORGE SAND gives utterance to the toll
lowing opinion.
"Woman is nothing-a prudent young
girl has no preconceived ideas. She
holds herself in readiness to submit to
whatever degree of capacity may be in
her future master, and meantime she
preserves herself in a state of nullity.--
Her soul is light sand, over which she
will do well to pass the rake every morn

not the least trace Of anything upon it, and
be able to write thereon whatever
pleases him-proyided, always that he

NEWSPAPER LAWS.

Postftiasters are required to give notice by
letter when a subscriber does not take his
paper from the office; and give the reason
for Its not being taken. Negleeting to do so
makes the postmaster responsible to the pub
asher for the payment.
Any person who takes a paper regularly
from the postoffiee whether ne has subserib-
ed or not, is responsible for the payment OF
the subscription.
A person ordering his paper discontinued
must pay all arrearages, or the publisher may
continue TO send 1t until payment Is made,
and collect the whole amount, whether Ii is
taken from the office or not.
The COURTS have decided that refusing to
take paper and periodical from the post
office, or removing and leaving them uncall-
cd for, is prtn,a fucfe evidence of Intentional
fraud.
