LONGsTREET, HOOD AND BEAURE-
GARD.
Ex-Eebel Leaders I'm Civil Life.

A correspondent of the Boston IraO-
eler writes from New Orleans:
Into the uncompleted Custom House,
upon which General Beauregard was
working when he abandoned architecture
for the field, we went, admiring the
grand design and ponderous masonry of
the building. In the rooms where the
troops were quartered during The war,
we found the desks of busy clerks sur
rounded by piles of official papers and
bundles of red tape. In the basement
was the post Office, occupying nearly The
whole floor, and its entrance filled at all
hours of the day with an anxious faced
crowd. On the second floor, the way TO
which is up the same Ole rickety plank
stairs, is the room occupied by General
LoDgstreet.
He was there when we went in, and
greeted us in very cordial manner, ap-
pearing as much at home as any other
man should in fat Custom House office.
If man ever has reason 10 smile it
is when he gets into the Custom
House, for it is one of the nealest, pref
test, jolliest, LATEST positions ever held
by man.
" General Hood is running commits
sion store on the second floor of stone
building on side street. He was very
sociable, and talked freely about the ar,
and said he regretted nothing he had
done, and would do the same fighting
over again il he had chance. He said
when be succeeded Gen. Johnston in
command of the Western Confederate
army he knew the game was up. He
was only fighting to save his honor.
The revolution was crushed when Vicks-
burg fell, and he said so at that time.
He said it was painful for him to talk
about the lost cause, and he did not like
to recall the war.
"Gen. Beauregard is President of the
New Orleans and Jackson Railroad, and
has bis Office IN fine marble.front build
ing in the weathiest part of the city. He
made little or 40 reference 10 the war,
but confined bis conversation to the COM
mercial convention and the condition of
the railroads. From what he said and
our own experience, we concluded that
nearly all the railroads in the south were
almost as bad stock TO invest in as South
ern Confederacy bonds. Nearly every
one had borrowed money at the North
before the war, and when the Confeder
acy confiscated all moneys due northern
creditors, they paid these sums 10 'the
powers that were;' and, being now oblig-
ed 10 pay these debts to the lawful cred
itors, they have become poor as church
mouse.

FRANK BLAIR.
His After-Dinner Speech at Long
Branch.

A New York dispatch of tina 9th gives
the following particulars of Frank Blair's
tfosco at Long Branch:
During the banquet of the Army Of
the Gulf, last night, when called on he
braced himself against the table and be-
gan his harangue with closed eyes. He
said that not one word had been spoken
about those who were once, and are, our
brothers. He would say one word for
the people who had been our enemies.
He knew that when he spoke of them
before soldiers he spoke to magnani.
nous and generous court; that those
against whom we commended, those whom
we aspersed as rebels and traitors, and
over whom we had triumphed, were a
great and generous people, and well
worthy of our best steel. Turning to
Admiral Farragut, who politely bowed
acquiesence, Gen. Blair continued: 9" We
have heard the praises Of Fa,ragut, Sher-
idan, and Others to- night. We will yet
hear of Lee pronounced in p louder
tone and exultant manner and of Stone
wall Jackson" The General articu lated
the name Of this distinguished general
with bis voice pitched at its highest key.
[ Misses; cries of "Order," "Traitor,"
''Sit down." "Sit down." "Put him out"
"Shame."l
Gen. Blair was not discouraged, but
said. in a naughty manner: "Does any
body dissent? Is there any dissent?
|" Yes, sir, there is" 81 do. sir; l do.
My name is Maj. Robert A. Haggerty,
SIR" A pause followed, which was al
most Immediately broken by cries OF
" Don't hea, him." " Shut up" DC. I
Gen. Blair-'I do not ask to be heard
| do not beg for hearing; never have
and never will"
After the widest confusion and excite
ment had lasted about ten minutes, Adj
mifal Farragui, who bad been doing bis
utmost to restore harmony. finally Sc

that, as the meeting had asked Mr.. B:

OLD THAD. STEVENS.

When this parsonage died and was
buried, we had something to say of
him; and some of the Radical jour
nails were perfectly Mortified because
we stated, among other things, that
Stevens lived, long time, with 4 ne
gro wench-thus being guilty Of
shameless, open adultery. / or, be it
known, she was the wife of ! negro
barber; but she left him and became
the concubine of Stevens,

the late Thaddeus Stevens" by Rev.
J. Blanchard, President of Wheaton
College, III. Blanchard admits that
Stevens lived with this "colored wo-
man as his wife; y and then attempts
to justify it, lie says:
early poverty. pride and club foot may
have prevented his marriage with the beau
ty and brilliant culture he was so formed to
relish aad enjoy. Hotel life and human
passions may have chosen for his compau-
ion the brjght-eyed brunette whom / saw
last winter; agreeable in spite of old age
at once bis housekeeper and presiding gen.
ius, and whose talents made her at the same
time the mistress of his business and his
earthly destiny. Shut off by circumstances
such as these from that honorable domestic
life which has saved all that was saved of
such men as Prentiss of Mississippi, Ben
ton of Missouri, and host of their peers
despising that religion which could wink at
slave-holding cohabitation, while horrifed
with fidelity in concubinage; retaining
enough of his mothers religion to make
him despise himself: strong as the fabled
giants, yet in religion blind as Polyphemus,
their chief; bold, fearing nothing but God,
and really fearing Him loving justice, low
ing truth, and Christ because, as he said
"Ie was the truth" In these elements Of
tie great and wonderful man who has just
left the stage a modern Sampson Agonis-

his strength were shorn. Like Sampson, he

the violator of His laws even in his GAIA,

ruins of the temple tumbling about his
head ~
1t will be seen that the ReV. Blanch.
ard not only admits all we charged
about Stevens concubine, but he says
that old Thad. laid his head in the
lap of vice and kept it there till he

ard says Stevens was a brave man.

on embattled armies clad in iron and
slew, single-handed and alone, a thou

Thad. ever slew any body with thai
ass jaw of his we don't know it; but
we do know that in the eBgckshot

TIN IN Douglas CoUNTY.-Thc
Roseburg Ensign has the following in re-
gard to q vein of tin ore recently found
in the Cow Creek mountains .'Mr. Will
liam Briggs, of the Cow Creek Mining
District, this week gave us sample of
the ore taken from the vein mentioned
by Foley, in communication to the Nc
minnvilIe Courier, and it certainly an
swers the description of tin ore in every
particular, and it is said that the test to
which it has been put convinced those
who examined it that it is tin. Mr..
Briggs also permitted US to read letter
from Thomas T. Bouldin, of San Fran
cisco-who has had sample of the ore
carefully assayed-in which Mr.. Bouldin
askes for information in relation to the
lead, and states that it exhibits enough
to warrant the expenditure of money.
He further assures Mr.. Briggs that If
such ore can be found in sufficient quanti-
ty, he is willing to undertake the devel-
opment of the lead. Let us hope that the
leadsis all that its discoverers claim for it,
and that its development will not be long
delayed.

A case of somewhat unusual character,
involving the principles of the famous
"Civil Rights bill, was decided on Thurs
day in the Court of Common pleas. It
is, in brief, as follows;
In February last young oolored man
named William Walker went to the For
rest City Skating Rink, purchased tick
ct, entered for the purpose of engaging
IN the pastime. He had been in but few
moments when he was accosted by tho
private watchman of the rink and gently
informed that it was "white man rink. !"
The young man mildly but firmly refused
to leave, declaring that he had purchased
a ticket at the Office in a legitimate man.
ner. The watchman, claiming that his
orders were peremptory, proceeded to
eject him from the binding by force
Resistance was useless, and the young
man, deeming discretion the better part
of valor, stood not upon the order of his
going, vowing vengeance dire upon those
who had 80 treated him.
He entered suit against the Rink Asso-
citation in the Court of Common Pleas,
laying his damages at 81, 900. The trial
of the case was continped from the May
term and came on for trial on Thursday.
After the examination of the witnesses
the case was argued at some length, and
the jury, after snort consultation, brought
in verdict in favor of the plaintiff for
damages to the amount of $500. The case
was one of considerable interest, involv-
ing to some extent the question of the
legal right of the managers of any public
resort to rules excluding colored persons
We understand that the defendants in,
tend to appeal the case to the Supreme
Court of Ohio, in which event the disci
sion will be awaited with no small degree
of interest. - Czeovela1sd Leader.

ON THE DOWN GRADE

The Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Enquirer thus reviews in brief
the degeneracy which now marks the
Senate Of the United States
Compare the Senate of ten years ago
with the Senate Of to-day, and the differ
ence is very great indeed date the COM
parison ten years further back and thera
ceases to be any resemblance except in|
the name. A fit inscription for the en-
trance door Of the Chamber of 1868 was
written long ago to express the decay of
virtue and greatness in the representative
Of one Of Rome's great men: "JStat n1agni-
non1ints up1br0"--it stands the shadow of
mighty name. There is extant an en-.
craving entitled the United States Senate
in 1850, which tells the whole story when
viewed in the light Of to-day. 1t repre-
sents Henry Clay in the delivery of one
OF those powerful speeches which always
commanded the attention Of the floor
and the wrapt admiration Of the galleries.
His associates are closely gathered about
him az if to catch every word that falls
from his lips, It is easy to recognize
Calhoun, Webster, Benton and Douglas
in the group. They arc all gone now,
and who have taken their places? For
Calhoun we have a carpe~bagger, around
whose name there is said to be halo un-
enviabIe to honest men, and not uucon-
nccted with sherifs, pcnitentiaries and
the like. For the grandeur and dignity
Of Webster we have the classic idiotcy Of
Sumner, or the inelegant inanity Of Will
son for the culture and statesmapship
Of Benton we have the poreous and 50.
norous emptiness Of Drake; and for
Douglas, the bold champion Of popular
rights, we have Yates in constant vibTa-
ton between temperance and tremens-
These are but few specimens which the
attempt at comparison forces into my
mind AZ / write this hasty letter. Were
| to turn over the pages Of some old Con-
gressional directory, | might easily extend
it to nearly every State in the Union, az
represented twenty years ago, and now
in the Senate Of the United States. There
are exceptions, Of course, but scarcely
enough to prove the rule-which is the
inebriate brawl Of Chandler or the gilt
edged imbecility Of Sprague.

EXTRAORDINARY MATRIMONIAL MIS-
TAKE.-An extraordinary matrimonial
coaatrete,nps transpired in Williamson
county, Tennessee, on Christmas
night, A double marriage occurred
in the same house, and the wedding
festivities were celebrated in the old
fashioned style, and in that joyful
way, naturally prompted by Christ
mas and the blissful event which
made double couple happy, About
midnight both brides retired to rest,
and in half an hour thereafter the
newly made husbands followed suit.
by some strange mishap, each gentle
man made his way to the wrong room,
and actually occupied bridal couch
to which he had no claim. Strange as
it may appear, the mistake was not
discovered until daylight, when one
of the ladies shrieked her surprise af-
ter a vigorous fashion. A general
hubbub was the result, and at last ac-
counts the brides were disconsolate.
All sorts of schemes of reparation
were proposed, but it appears that no
tangible plan for undoing the double
mistake was arrived at. The above
episode actually transpired as nara
ted.
