An INGENIOus ATrEHPr AT SMUGGLING
INeExrous FRUsrsArsD.-TheS San Fran
cisco Chronicle thus spicily serves up
the particulars Of the illustration of an
attempt at smuggling, in . new fash
toned way:
Que of the most ingenious expedients
yet adopted for the conceslment of
opium in transit, was detected yester.
day by United States Appraiser Bridge.
By the steamer America, from China,
came eight bales of curious dried root,
evidently intended for medicinal uses.
II had An honest appearance and smell
like an apOthecary's clerk There was
nothing suspicious about the bales, nor
was there any apparent attempt At con.
cealment. The bales lay on the wharf
never . word explanatory of their an
cestry or their properties. Now, Gen
eral Bridge is an acquisitive man, never
losing an opportunity to gain an extra
grain OF knowledge. He 10 . persistent
man, and if once be gets hold Of point
in which Uncle Sans interests are In
volved he never stops until be gets At
the root of the matter. He got at the
root in the bales. They were new to
him. His extensive mental encyclope-
dia of imports contained nothing which
would describe the contents OF these
bales. He desired to add to his stock of
information, for the roots, although
dried, were fresh to him. The Chinese
consignees anxiously attempted to ex-
plain the nature of the contents when
be stopped to examine them. They de-
clared that il was "All-a same Mclean
medicine; spose you eaty. you ALA same
sea sick" but he General persisted in
his Investigations, and discovered that
the roots were-opiumi The drug had
been cleverly fabricated to resemble the
roots Of some plant and mixed in with
other roots, among whose fbers and
crevices the unfiltered extract had been
poured while in liquid state, giving
the whole . rusty red color, which
would readily deceive the casual OBJ
server. The whole lot was confscated
and Mr.. Tux Kee, the consiguee, will
be considerably out of pocket by his
attempt to Guido the Government and
General Bridge, its efficient represents

takise place in that ''vhits sspalchrs,' u

time Of which We write. There was
. sudden cessation Of nirth and jollity.
Faces which had been flushed with

with ashsn pallor asd blank disnay.

full queen Of the household, and the cry
was quickly caught up BY the remainder
of the group. They we're all seised
with terror; in the place Of that con-
viviality which had but moment before
made the halls resound with merry
mir,h and loud peals of laughter, there
ensued solemnity which when the
surroundings are considered, was awful.
The wine had indeed been poisoned,
aud all had partakeo oftbe subtle drug.
A physician was Immediately summoned
and 1t was ascertained that large guam.
tity of laudanum had been mixed with
the wine. Emetics were immediatly ad-
miuistered and, by this prompt action,
the lives of the unfortunate victims of a
base and villainOus attempt TO murder
he inmates Of the establishment was
frustrated. Hattie Cloud and a girl
named Lizzie Taylor were the most ser
iously affected, and it Was thought for a
time that the latter would not survive.
She fingered, apparently on the threshold
of eternity, during the whole night,
suffering great agony; but, in the morn
ing, good constitution and more than
usual vitality of temperament asserted
their supremacy and the physician pro-
bounced her out of danger. How the
wine became poisoned is not known
All we're more or less affected, and it lie
not thought that any one of the party
administered the laudanum. Whoever

Fiendish Attempt to Poison the Inmates
of House of Iu-Fame.

from the Omaha Herald, October 29th]
One of the most terrible crimes that
ever stained the calender of guilt was
attempted in this city on Tuesday even
ing, and but for the apparent interposi-
ton of Divine Providence would have
undoubtedly sent to another world, with
all their crimes and sins upon their
souls, a whole household of fallen
women. Hattie Cloud is the propri-
etress of palace of iufamy located on
Ninth street near Douglas, a brown brick
structure whose outward appearance is
fair 10 look upon, but whose interior is
more horrible than a charnel-honse filed
with dead mems bOnes. 1t is tho home
of the wanton. It is . house where
every echo is curse. 1t is habits
ton whose walls are reeking With the
filth aud slime of polluted associations.
1t is inhabited by creatures of fair ex-
terror, but who are rotten to the core,
and TO come in contact with them
would be fatal as the viper's sting or
the leper's touch. On Tuesday night
Hattie Cloud, in her harlot home, was
surrounded by the gilded butterflies
who flutter away . brief existence OF
aisbouor and shame. Wine flowed
freely: the painted beauties revsled in
the excuses of their unnatural and nm
holy calling, the devotees Of lust and
dissipation seemed to Jake onusual de-

and either pledge their ndidates
until elected against voting for che
negro suffrage amendment, or else
by the silence Of the candidates, or
by the raising Of a false issue en-

from the true and great issue OF
negro voting and negro political
equality. II there be Republican

Thus months before the election

tion. If it should happen that a

no matter whether elected by Radi-
cal'votes or by those opposed to me-

the States, as required BY tho Con.
stitution, each and every State of

baggors and negroes, will count as
one. Rhode Island, Vermont and
Florida will count just as much in
forcing negro suffrage on the people
Of the United States as the great
States Of New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio. Itis only by the vote Of
these small States, and of those
whose white men are deprived of
the right Of suffrage and negroes
bear rule, that it can be- carried if
carried at all. The States refused
representation in Congress, because
they are not, in the Radical geogra-
ply, States of the Union, will all be

! A rOLTTTOAL OUTRAoE..

A ToLrTIoAL OUTRAeE.-
The dispatches advise us that
the State Of Nevada has rati-
fed the proposed Constitu-
tional Amendment, known as
the Negro-suffrage Amend
ment. Nevada has not half
the number Of votes that one
county of the State of Ohio
Hamilton County - has ;
and, yet, it exerts as much
power, in the ratification OF
an amendment TO the Consti-
tuition, as does the State of
Ohio, that casts a half million
of votes. Negro suffrage is
notoriously repughant to the
people Of Ohio that has a
population, enough in num-
bers, to make twenty-five or
thirty such States as Nevada.
Nevada, nevertheless, has as
much power as Ohio in decid-
ing whether Ohio shall have
negro suffrage. This is an
outrage well calculated to
weaken the attachment of the
people to their Government,
and contribute to the general
public Generalization.

By far the most pernicious
Of all lobbyists are ex-Con-
gressmen. These gentlemen,
falling to secure a further
recognition from their dis
tricts, return to haunt their
scenes of former triumph, as
claim and lobby-agents. Hav-
ing access to the floor they
can approach the members in
a way denied to the common
agent, who has to send in his
card and take his chance OF
catching the victim on the
wing.
There is something SO mex
prsssiblY degrading in this
that it fills me with wrath
This seems to be the general
feeling, for the unhappy Con-
gressman who thus degrades
himself does not last long.
He soon wears patience ont

successfully a claim, he has
talent enough to rise in a more

The UNION LEAGUE
The Nashville correspondent
of the New York Times (Re.
publican) says that nine
tenths Of the Republican
voters in East Tennessee are
sworn members of the Union
League. He asserts that this
fact has exercised a very per-
nicious and demoralizing in
fiuence in our Courts and re-
ligious societies. He further
states that under it's careful
manipulating, the negroes
have been as plant and man
tagable as any military organ
ization subjected to long and
rigorous discipline. We are
informed that, in many coun-
ties in the State, it is impos-
siIle to litigate successfully
without meeting it's demands.
This is a pretty mirror for a
Radical to look at and survey
his features in. 1t is through
this hateful Organization and
the Acknowledgement of the
peoplein in the middle and west
ern sections of the State that
such wretches as Brownlow
have been permitted to sway
it's ,destinies. ave r

ATl2Do'clock, Thursday, March
4th5 1869, ANDREW JOHNSON ceased
to be President of the United States
He took the occasion of his retire.
ment to issuehis Farewell Address
directed, not to the Rump Con.
gress, but--"To Che People of the
United States;" by whom it will be
read with great interest, and by
whom the unanimous verdict will
be rendered, that it is a complete
and thorough vindication of the
policy pursued by him in his official
capacity to restore the
country to its former position oI
peace and prosperity, and at the
same time proving that the misfor.
tunes of the country have been
caused solely by the anconstitution-
al and outrageous legislation of the
most corrupt body of men called a
Congress-, that ever dlsgraced any
country in the civilized world.
Att O'clock, on the day above
named, Gen, U. S. GRANT was in
augurated President and SCHUYLER
CoLFAx Vice President. GRANT dc.
lived a brief Inaugural Address, in
which he places himself squarely
upon the negro suffrage platform
the Chicago platform 10 the contra.
ry notwithstanding; favors the pay
ment of the National Debt in gold
thereby adding the enormous sum
Of six hundred millions Of dollars to
the debt; and favors the ch ristiani.
zation and civilizing the Indian,
with view to his ultimate citi-
zenship." So this blockhead
GRANT--the luckiest logg head Of
Of modern actually holds in
his hand, which is stained with the
blood of his felIow-c country men, the
destiny of this great Con tinent. He
makes not the least promise that
the heavy taxes the people are pay.
ing will be ,lessened in the least;
and those OF us who are too poor to
run away from the burdensome
taxation, must only grin and bear
it. .t..-sa
But little satisfaction can be de.
rived from the Address. 1t afordt
butlittleclue To the general char.
acter" of his Administration.
After the Inauguration ceremo.
nies GRANT made the following
Cabinet Office appointments, ex.
cepting Secretary Of War;
Secretary Of State--E. B. Wash
burn, of Illinois;
Secretary OF Navy-A, r. Bowie
ofPennsylvania;
Secretary Of Treasury--Alex. T
Stewart, OF New York;
Secretary of Interior--J, D. Cox,
of Ohio;
Postmaster General, w. J,
Cresswell, Of Maryland;
Attorney General-E, r. Hoare,
of Massachusetts,.
The Radicals are not pleased with
this Cabinet. They are dissatisfied
with Cox because he opposed negro
suffrage in Ohio two years ago;
with Bowie because he is unknown
to the Radical party of Pennsylva.
MIA; with Stewart because he is a
free.trader and never voted the
Radical ticket until'last fall; and SO
on.
