"A court paper in Paris having said
that, If the Marquise de PompadouI
should suddenly rise from the dead,
she would find that the fashionable Ia
dies in Paris were wearing precisely
the same eoiffHres as that in which she
appeared hundred years since at the
court.of Louis the Fifteenth, the Re
ptt6licd3, RereRfe sneefingly remarks
that, in the event of the resurrection
from the lower regions, she would find
a great many other things in the same
condition as under that old reprobate
and sinner, Louis the Fifteenth.
The Anti-Slavery Society, which
is made of all the malice, venom,
curiosity, aud iRtermedding in New
England, has just been safely deliver
ed of its tlfirty-sixth annual cOnven-
tioIi. This monstroHs collection of ali
the isms and fanaticism of the day
claims the ballot for the blacks of both
sexes. Miss Wendell Phillips, Mr..
Lucy Stone, and several old negro
mammies iiarangued ON the occasion.
The usual cant and bosh of the party
of great moral ideas were Grated" .
The Tuscaloosa (Ala.) -HmHOJ'
says: "The military satrapS, sub-sa-
traps, and low private soldiers under
them, are almost as outrageous about
Gadsden and Decatur just now as they
were about Tuscaloosa last year. A
reign of terror prevails among the eiti-
zens of those places, some of whom
have been igROminiously ducked in
ponds, brutally whipped, and cruelty
hung partially, in order to make them
lie upon their neighbOrs who were
wrongly suspected and falsely accused
of evil deeds
THE bOOt-nlalzinS fraternity Of Tus-
caloOsa, Ala, is in bad luck. Three
disciples of St. Crispin are now lodged
in Jail fer misconduct. One is accused of
another of grand larceny, and |
another Of drunkenness and disorderly |
conduct. They have their tools in |
ban when at liberty.
Mrs. Mcconnell, wife OF ROBE t !
died at SilelbyvilIe, Tenn, |
on the 9th inst. for want of food and |
proper attention. The family lived in |
,qualid poverty, no one TO visit or |
them. Just before her |
1eath- q physician was called, who, af-
-er examining the patient, was salts
led a. to the cause of her illness and |
Jrdered such nouriShment aS might |
lfford relief. But it was too late. She
lied in q few hours.
The course of Mr.. Boutwell, us
of the Treasury is generally |
upon with as much sever
" by his political friends as by his
political oponents. His financial sa-
gacity Is sharply called in question by
many of the Radical organs. He is
:harged by them with lack of finan-
,ial ability, and some 90 so far as to
more than intimate that his purpose,
Ii his official action, is to promote his
,wn private interests and the interests
If his friends. If he is engaged in
of that kind, he will of
curse see the eXpediency of receiving
he President into his "ring."
"A Radical Buffalo paper says
oothingly: "An0ther simple truth
hat we ought to remember is that
ebels, as such, have no longer either
he right or the ability to represent
my part Of this country, and there
ore that the restoration of fraternal |
ceiling between the two sections does |
i0t require their special cOneiliation,
nd the attempt to do so is a most un-
wise effort 80 perpetuate the bad sec
ionalism that has cursed us"
