THE NINTH CENSUS.
WASHINGTON, January 20. The SENATE was

mans Railroad bill for roads centering in
Washington.
In THE HOUSE, Schenck introduced bill pro-
vding for the payment Of bonds in coin, unless

tee Of Ways and Means.

are presented to her, and has passage Of
arms as the first act of the new drama. IT her
opponents yold out Of tlmidty or good breed
ing, or perhaps, from not understanding the
warlke nature Of the encounter, she puts her
foot on them forthwith, and ignominousiy
brushes them; if they defy her, and give her
back blow for blow, ten to one she cuts them
and becomes their enemy forever after. For
she has not breadth enough to be magnani-
nous, and the one thing she never forgives is
successful opposition. Very grim is she in the
presence of human W enkness, moral and phy-
5ical
A grim female has no mercy. Sho may be
just, but if she is so it is in hard, uncompro-
ing way that makes her Justice worse than
even IL unwavering; and the grim female is
never sad, how painful soever the work on
hand and the sentence to be executed. Neither
is she gay; for she is not plastic enough to be
an iron mould where her nature is compress
ed as in vice. no bursting of bonds anyhow.
What would become Of us if oil our women
were like her?
When we look at her, we are inclined to for
give all the smalness and Stiffness which some
times vex us in the Oldinary woman, and t.
think that there are worse things than the
love of dress for which we 50 often reproach
our wives and daughters; that frting-which
is reprehensible no doubt-might be OK
changed for some thing oven more reprehensl-
bic; and that vanity Of the giggling, coquet-
tish kind, though to be steadily discouraged
and sternly reproved, is not quite the worst
feminine thing after all. Surely not A grim
female who cannot firt nor gigglo nor cry
and kiss and make up when scolded, is far
away q worse kind Of thing than feather
headed little puss who is always doing wrong
by reason OF her foolish brain, but who mana
ges somehow to pull herself right because OF
her loving heart. Weak women, vain women,
affected women and the whole class Of silly
women, whatever the speciality Of Stiffness ex-
hibited, are tiresome enough, heavon knows;
but unsatisfactory as they are, they are better
than the grim female-that woman of no sex,
born without softness or sympathy, and living
without pity and without love.

SECURITLES IN WALL.
STREET.

The New York Herald OF Monday contains
the following article on Southern securities.
It will bs seen that South Carolina six per
cent. bonds hold their own, and that they sell
at higher rates than Virginia, Tennessee and
North Carolina six per cents, and at the Same
price as Louisiana six per cents. There is, in
truth, no State more solvent than South Caro-
lima. The net profit on the cotton crop Of the
State this year would pay of every dpllar Of
our debt:
Perhaps not the least interesting feature
which the operations in Wall-streot during the
past week have presented has been the brisk
inquiry exhibited for Southern State bonds and
other securities OF that section, coming large
ing as it does the rapid and positive recovery
OF these State from the monetary and material
depression consequent upon the late war, and,
what is eaually gratifying in this connection,
the 1eilsf ct the people themselves most af
prosperity. 1t is clearly apparent from many
sources Of intelligence that while Radical poll
ticians Of both stripes have been engaged in
wordy warfare respecting their favorite
to suit their different purposes have at various
times presented the most shocking pictures Of
lawlessness, disorganizRtiOn OF society, power
wretchedness, as true ILLUSTRATIONS of Tie state
Of affairs existing in the defunct confederation,
o very large proportion Of the Southern people
themselves, quietly ignoring the. existence
even OF such selfish Intermediates have been
earnestly at work in securing o practical re-
construction, that would eventually confonnd
these partisan philosophers, and by the short
cut Of q commercial and monetary association
with one another and with the North. render
easy OF solution, o. simply logical in their do
velopment, all problems affecting their con-
dition or status In o political sense. Thia has
been partly accomplished through the assis-
