REPUDIiTION.

1t is patent to every one who has read the re-
ports Of the proceedings of the Convention, that
the scheme of universal repudiation meets with no
favor in that body.
A homestead law will probably be passed, and
debts contracted fornegoes, declared null and void
but beyond this, no other relief be hoped for by
debtors. There has been an impression for some
time past, that the Convention would wipe out all
old debts. The sooner this notion is dispeled, the
better it will be for the country. The Convention
has no disposition to do any thing of the kind,
even if it had the power which no sane man be,
lieyes it has, 1t will be the desire Of that body tc
make land 80 cheap, that it will BIO within the
reach of the, poorest. This can best be accom-
plished by permitting all of the lano in the country
to be thrown on the market,
Letnodebtor, then, deude himself by thethought
that he can evade his debts and hold his property
but while it is yet time, let him propose to pay
what he can, and all just men who have money
owing to them, should accept of a liberal compro'
mise. In this way, and only through this means,
can debtors escape utter bankruptcy.

How Hancock Treated Longstreet.
The New Orleans Times to illustrate the way
in which one honorable soldier meets another once
in arms against him, says:
"a few days ago General james Longstreet call
ed ut the residence of General Hancock and sent
in his card. General Hancock was then engaged
with some friends, ladies and gentlemen. He i'm
mediately left them to receive bis old army friend,
more recently his foe, but now again his friend,
and after warm greeting, insisted upon conduct
ing General Longstreet into the parlor and intro
ducing him to the company there assembled. The
style Of the introduction was 80 peculiar that We
reproduce it for the special benefit Of the mahg'
nant Radicals, as full justification for their sus
picious of General Hancock's loyalty.
"Ladies and gentlemen" said General Hancock
ALLOW ME to introduce to you gallant gentleman
to whom I'm indebted for an ungraceful limp
and whom I had the misfortune to wing In tn
same combat.
We must add that, although the company wa
composed exclusively Of ladies and gentlemen
whose sympathies were on the Unionside in the Lat
war, the incident excited a profound and mos
pleasurable sensation, and the two distinguishes
soldiers were regarded with increased admiration.

A Determined Youth.

A Bureau Agent, in Texas, wasrecently killed
by boy, under the following circumstances: Cap
tain Culver, the agent alluded to, accompanied BY
soldier, called upon Mr.. Stewart to collect {
fine which the former hadimposedupon him. Mr
S. who was on his way to shoot beef, accompa
MED by his son, declined to pay it, as he had ap
pealed to higher authority. Culver insisted upor
payment, and demanded Stewart gun; but Stew
art refused to give it up, saying, however, that h
would take it home and put it upon the rack owe
his door, when Culver could take it if he chose tt
do so. When they reached the house, and while
in the act of putting up his gun Stewart was sho
by both the Bureau gentry Mrs. s. who was be
hind the house made some noise, which caused th'
assassins to shoot her, but not mortally. At thi
iuncture, her son came upon the scene, and seeing
his parents both lying dead, as he supposed, b.
fired one barrel of his gun into the body Of Culver
On this, the soldier fired two shots at the boy
who returned the fire, wounding his enemy, VIII
endeavored to change his base to safer country
But the boy captured Culver's pistol and shot hin
again, when he returned to Culver, who was no
quite dead, and finished him with an axe. Alarg
sum of money was found on the person of the de
funct Agent which circumstance, in conjunction
with Others indicates that he was about to run q
way from the country
Farm Labor in Virginia.
The farmers of the Old Dominion have ex
perienced great deal of trouble, from the propen
sity of freedmen to leave them just when thei
labor was most needed. Some of the farmers hav
adopted the plan of 80 distributing the aggregat
amount of a years wages, as to pay their laborer
for each month according to the value of labor du
ring that month. By this plan, the wages is re
duced during the months in which the laborer ha
but little to do and increased in the main working
month. Supposing the years wages to be $l2O
the pay per month will be as follows: For Janu
ary and February, ST per month; March, So; A
pril, $40; May, $l2; June, $l7; July SIG; August
sl2; September, $40; October, November, De
cember, 81 each" By this arrangement, a freed
man is debarred the privilege of living on full pa
with nothing to do untilApril and then leaving hi
employer in nthe lurch to pocket the loss. This pla

The President nnd Stanton.
The excitement in regard to the difficulty
between President johnson and Mr. Stanton seems,
in a measure, to have subsided. Dispatches from
Washington state that Grant and Sherman are en-
deavoring to induce Stanton to resign. The Wash.
ington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says
that ''Mr. Stanton is reduced to the mcrest clerk
ship in the War Department. The President will
not permit any order to be sent from that depart
ment except in strict accordance with Inv, which,
being literally followed, will prevent any order is
suing from the Secretary Of War as heretofore,
and compel everything of that character to be is

provides for the election of the Judges by the two

each Judge to hold his Office until it is declared va
cant by act of the General Assembly; and provides
further as to the manner in which vacancies are to
be filed when they occur from any cause, &c.

STITCH SEWING MACHINES

STITCH SEWING MACHINES
Are superior to all others for The following
reasons;
l. They sew direct from the spoolg. and
require no reminding of thread.
2. They are more easily understood and

3. They are capable of executing perfect
ly, without change of adjustment, a I..ach
greater variety of work than other machines.
4. The stitch made by these machines II
much more firm, elastic, and durable, espe.
cially upon articles which require TO be wash
ed and ironed than any other stitch
,. This stitch, owing to the manner in
which the outer thread is Inwrought. is much
the most plump and beautiful In use, and re
tains this plumpness and beauty even upon
articles frequently washed and ir0ned until
they are worn ont.
