A Duchman opposed TO Insur-

A certain Dutchman, owner of a small
house, had effected an insurance on 1t of
eight hundred dollars, although it had
been built for much less The honse
burnt down and the Dutchman then claim
ed the fall amout for which it had been
insured but the officers of the company
refused to pay more than its actual value,
about six hundred dollars. He expressed
his dissatisfaction in powerful broken Eng
lish, interlading his remarks with some
choice Teutonic oaths.
If you wish it, said the cashier of
the insurance company, we will build
you house much larger and better than
Che one burned down, as we are positive
it can be done or'much less than six hun
dred dollars.
To this proposition the Dutchman OBJ
jected, and at last was compelled to take
the six-hundred dollars. Some weeks

The papers complain that female lobbyists
in Washington are becoming nuisance. If
we were to give our opinion, it would be that
lobbyist, whether Of the male or female
persuasion, is q nuisance that no well regula-

force than ever, and have even commenced
to lay siege to members and senators at their

the other day he asked the door-keeper of

The House has, by vote of nearly two
to one, postponed the bill providing provs-
ional government for Mississippi. This is
regarded as test Of the temper of the House
on the question of Reconstruction, and de-
cides the fate of all the other unreconstructed
States including Georgia. The Reconstruc-
tion Committee intended, if the House had
passed the Mississippi bill, to have brought
in other measures relative to Virginia, Geor-
gia and Texas. The manifest disposition OF
the House not to consider these matters at
this session will relieve the committee of any
further labors. In the meantime it is ex-
pected that the President will put such mill
tary men in command of the unreconstructed
States as will not only preserve order and
enforce the reconstruction laws, but who will
discourage the loyalists.

that, with blunt knife, the corn will

dinner, it should be taken in sitting pos

We publish this morning the charges,
specifications and argument of Mrs. Har-
riet Beecher Stowe on the Lord and
Lady Byron mystery, and statements,
facts, testimony and opinions on all sides OF
the question, sufficient, we believe, to enable
the intelligent reader to form his own conclu-
Nons on the subject. Our conclusions are that
Mr.. Beecher Stowe has made shocking
cbaroe which she has failed to establish that
her facts are but the morbid fancies of Lady
Byron: th,.t her story is loose and incoherent;
that she has sized upon sensation which, in
the end, will not l,0y expenses, and which viii
tarnish the glory of ''Uncle Toni that Mrs.
Stowe, in short, in her th6aghtless publication,
has placed herself within the category of reck-
less sensational Bohemians, and in dilemma
from which her only escape is public apology
for her credulity and folly in yielding to the
deceitful temptation of unearthing and expos
ing in the market the mysteries Of the grave.
Her reasons for this exposition are insufficient.
and her statement betrays only her ignorance
of the case
