Progress ec Liberal Principles
The Democracy Of Wisconsin have do
clared for Universal Suffrage square OUT
the Democracy Of Ohio did not declare
against it--neither did the National Con-
venfion Of the Democracy which met in
New York last year. On the abstract
question of suffrage there is but little diff
ference between the two great parties
Fhe other day Senator Morton, the leader
of the North Western Radicals, declared
that three years ago, forty-nine out Of fif-
ty Northern Radicals were opposed TO
giving suffrage TO the negroes even in the
South. And Tarbell, the leader Of the
Mississippi Radicals, declared that the
negro was too degraded and ignorant to
have the privilege thrust upon him, and
that his. capacity for improvement was
vastly overrated at the North.
1t is hard to tell which party has pro
crossed more rapidly on the abstract ques-
ton. The main point of difference relates
to the power of Congress over the subject
in the States. Practically, we of the
South are not concerned in the settlement
of that point, since Congress has exer-
cised the power in the unreconstructed
States.
These observations are suggested by the
following report Of a speech by a colored
man at a celebration in Ohio;

Brief Bliss.
TWO HEARTS THAT WOULD NOT BEAT
THREE WEEKS AS ONE.

The latest and perhaps the most ex
traordinary case of domestic intellect,
transpir!ng in these parts has just com,
to the ears of the reporters. The facts
come without the names, but are new
erthelcss true, and can be substantial
ted. The story runs:
About three weeks ago, a Canadian
young man accidentally became ac-
Quainted with New York young lady
i'll or near Memphis, Tennessee. Boil
parties moved in good society, were
gentcel, wore store-clothcs, and nei-
Their OF them had ever "doctored" fol
consumption. Their meeting, which
may have been romantic, though we
have no authority for saying so, imme-
diately developed into an aggravated
case of love at first sight, and, as there
were no troublesome relatives to inter-
fere, the affectionate pair resolved to
dispense with the frivolities OF court
ship and unite their destinics at once.
Within three days of first sight they
were made twain of one flesh, and the
presiding dignitary had pronounced
the solemn words: "What God has
joined together let no man put asun-
der" This Oh the 24th of October
Then came the honeymoon trip, and
the enterprising couple, in wing
ing around their circle arrived in Lou
isville one day and put up at one of
our hotels. Quite impressed with the
geographical position and the awful
grandeur of the neighboring panorama's
brass band, they made up their minds
to remain here for brief season to
look about.
During this time nothing, apparent
ly had occurred to interrupt the even
tenor of their wedding way, and no.
body would have suspected that there
was skeleton in the new establish
ment; but unseen influences were at
work, and by the time they were ready
to leave Louisville they were, startling
to relate, very ready to leave each 9th
er. They had both fallen victims to
what is termed in Indiana a "settled
aversion,' and each had become thor
oughly Disguised with the other. Both
recognizing their iucapacity to make
each other happy, they determined
that they would quietly separate, and
so, II day or two since, they together
sought Il magistrate, and causes. arti-
cles of separation to be drawn up
Each signed u document relieving the
other of all responsibility incurred by
the recent matrimonial event in Mem
pills, and when the Office door of "thc
court" closed on.t|lc1n that day it shut
behind two hearts that would hereafter
beat as two at all times and under all
circumstances. Thus closed their hal
cyon weeded life, a little more than
two weeks from the wedding day.
Both left the city on tho following day,
going in opposite. directions, and with
in twenty four hours. five hundred
miles of railroad lay between the dis
pair.

DlED.-ln New Orleans, on Tues
day 18th irst., 1869 at 25 minutes to 2
O'Clock, after nearly four weeks of ma
tient suffering, ANNIE TAYLOR, aged 9
years, II months and 6 DAYS, Young
est daughter of J. CURTIS WALDO and
MARGARET NJ. WOODS. .-l-.- q
She was little star that shone
brightly in our household, a rose bud
that carolled with thrilling sweetness,
an angel who fingered in the bonds OF
mortality for a brief time, that our
hearts might Irvine around the lovely
image that has left us-sad and lonely
indeed. i '@5I.+ XIX "'-t
Everywhere she went, friends and
neighbors, even strangers, paused to
admire her angelic beauty; and her
winning ways, her womanly little pratt
tic, so much beyond her age. in Wis
dom, the holy expression OF her deep
blue eyes, her flowing golden hair, all
hallowed by the innocence of childhood
were subjects ofpraise and admiration,
with all who saw our little darling.
We would not call her back--oh no |!
for she has gone to Him who said "Suf-
fer little children to come unto me, and
forbid them not, for such is the King
dom Of Heaven" but her bright face,
her loving words, her cunning little
acts, her head that nestled in our
bosoms and her arms that were so ca
ressing, these are memories, sad but
pleasing, that will fill the brief span of
time, which separates us from our re-
union with "tlle pet of the household"
In this Town, on Thursday, the
24th inst, after long and lingering
illness, which he bore without muir

JOHN GoULDEN, aged 81 years.
The deceased was q native of the
Emerald Isle, came to this country
when youth; has been a citizen of
Alexandria since 1858; and has always
conducted himself, in all his pursuits,
like a good citizen good man. He
was an accomplished mechanic and ar
tist-a truly useful man. He leaves
behind him beloved wife and an in
teresting family of children, who will
long bless and honor the memory of
him they loved so well during his life.
He was a member of the Dramatic
Association, and of the Alexandria
Brass Band, the members of which at
tested their esteem of their late brother
by attending his funeral obsequies en-
anasse! A large number of friends and
citizens, besides, followed the funeral
cortege to the grave.
Truly and sadly can we write, q
good man has gone to his last home
