Francis Joseph understands every
language and dialect spoken in bis en-
pire, which contains more nationalities
than that ofany other European Prince,
and he is By far the best linguist
among the monsrchs of the Old World.
He is said to speak eleven languages
with considerable 1uency. The En-
peror of Russia speaks Russian, French
and Polish fiuentlv, and German, too,
though with a strong and very unpleas-
snt accent. He reads English, and un-
derstands it when he hears it spoken,
but does not speak it himself. Victor
Emanuel speaks Italian and French
the later with a stroug Italian accent.
Louis Napoleon speaks French and ltal-
ian well, German and English imper-
fectly, and he has a smattering of Span
ish. The King of Prussia speaks Ger
man, French and English. The King
OF Bavaria speaks no language but his
own, although he reads quite a number
of foreign languages. The King of Swe-
den's linguistic attainments are confined
to. the Scandinavian languages aud
French. The Niceroy of Egypt is a
good linguist. Besides several Oriental
languages, he speaks Italian, French
and English.

NEW YORK, March ia special to
the Herald, dated Atlanta, March 16,
says: In the House to day the fifteenth
amendment came up as the special or.
der. Its opponents are extremely Bit
ter, saying it was the last link in the
chain of servitude; a fatal cringing to
Radical tyranny. Its Democratic ad-
vecates claim that beyond all perad-
venture il denied to colored meu the
right to hold Office, and as "Spoony"
Batter had forced Niger voting on
Georgia, they would force Niger voting
on Observation-Disclosures "SpoOny" But
ler. They stated that no other consid-
GRAFTON than the denial of the right OF
colored men to, hold Office would have
induced them to advocate its ratifica-
ton; that they despised alike the OBJ
iect and the source of the amendment,
but by ratification on their part they
would become complete masters OF the
situation, and would rid themselves for
ever of Radical supremacy by the intiu-
ence of General Grant.
The amendment was then declared
ratified by the House by vote of "a to
81. 1t comes up in the Senate to-mor-
row, having been postpOned4to.day.
About three miles from Barnett's sta
tion, where month ago the rebels took
possession of a railroad train, another
band of Kuklux on Sunday night
prowled about till daybreak, commit
ting numerous outrages on the colored
people. They beat eleven freedmen al.
most to death, brokethe arm of one and
shot another quite dead; they also
whipped most cruelty a bright mulatto
girl sixteen years old, and when insen-
sible and almost dead four ofthe tiends
in succession outraged her person.

The missouriTes, Oath.

We have read with much pleasure the
brief of the Hon. Montgomery Blair,
filed before the United States Supreme
Court in the cause of Francis 2. Blair,
Jr. rs. John S. Thompson and Stephen
Ridgely. This is the celebrated test
oath case, and involves the validity of
the elaborate oath of expurgation re-
Quired as preliminary to suffrage by
the constitution of Missouri. General
Blair, it will be recollected, refused to
take this oath, aud his vote being re-
fused, he has brought this suit, which
will determine the right of ninety
thousand persons to vote in the State of
Missouri, and at least double that mum:
Der in other States now excluded. We
assume, of course, that the court will
meet the question now raised. The
former decision i'll the case of er pdrte
Garland, and that of Judge Chase, very
lately, in the Davis case at Richmond,
are invoked, and the whole subject is
argued with unusual precision, and a
1orce Of reasoning from which there
would seem to be no escape. Among
the facts mentioned in the brief is the
very extraordinary one that this inhibi-
tlonls imposed and enforced by Radi.
Gals who were secessionists under color
OF state authority at the outbreak of
lne war, aud then in full sympathy and
a!Ilance with the Confederate move
ment; while, on the other hand, Gem
eral BLAIR. who fought all through the
war aud has ever been a Union msn, is
GlslrancRised, because he then prompt
" tooN up arms against General Jack
son ana his State Legislature in their
EFFORTS to carry the State out of the
Union. While these Radicals. now in
full feather and "trooly loil," were eth.
er lodging or aiding the Confederates
General Blair was striking blows for
the Union cause.-the legal opera.
tion of which now is to bring him with
in the scope of the Mi issouri disfran-
chisements. These extend to perscns
who have ever been in armed hostility
to the State government of Missouri.
Could there be more farcical or a
more happy illustration of the infamous
system of test-osths than this facti We
await with much solicitude the decision
of the court.-Nafional IHtsiliseReer.

The Inv of17S9.

When President POLK appointed
Collector of Customs at Providence, the
official was obliged to dispose of his in
terest in ooasting schooner before he
could accept the appointment under the
law of 1889. 1t IS said, also, that when
TRENHOLM was called to the Treasury
of the c. S. A., he was obliged to give
up his interest in business in this coun-
try, although he maintained his rela-
tions with foreign house. 1t is said,
also, that owing to this circumstance
he was saved from bankruptcy; for, had
he remained in the Charleston house, ht
would have been ruined. The act o
1898 was incorporated in the Confeder
ate statutes, with the general statutes
of this country.

Han AG. Thurman.

In the Senate on Tuesday, Judge
THURMAN made his first speech before
that body, favoring the repeal Of the
Tenure of Office Bill. His argument is
reported By Washington correspondents
as concise, powerful and effective. 1t
has elevated him to the leadership Of
the Democrats in the Senate, position
he is eminently qualified both by expe'
rience and ability to fill.

Our Circuit Court.

In the absence of the Judge, the Cir
cult Court of Ohio county has been
running itself for the past few days
Yesterday the term expired by legal
limitation. A special term has been
called for next Tuesday.
For three days, at least, many persons
were in attendance upon this Court, at
great expense, but to no purpose.
There were the jurors summoned at the
countj's cost, and many of them losing
vauable time; numbers of witnesses
called from their business and entailing
no little expense in the shape OF fees
upon parties having suits pending; aud
the principals to the suits themselves,
all wasting time, losing money and
enduring a vexatious delay, simply be-
cause in the absence Of the Judge, their
business could not be transacted.
We confess that, under the very pecu-
liar circumstances, a reference to this
matter is rather a delicate proceeding.
But when public and general rumor,
having ugly facts to start with, gives
TO official conduct the character of scan
dal ana reproach, there is nothing left
bat To speak out. We, therefore, chron-
icle the mildest possible version of the
current history of our Circuit Court,
and say with deep regret that unmis-
taxable symptoms of untitness for duty
on the part of the presiding officer of
that tribunal have lately been repeated
" detected by even the most charitable
observers Take little wine for thy
stomach's sake and thine often intirmi-
ties" may he very good precopt, if
practiced with prudence, but when the
frequency of the infrmity or the rapa-
ci,y of the epigastric demands, renders
"a little" altogether insufficient for
daily needs, we doubt the prOpriety Of
so enlargng the quantity as to pass not
only the limit of the prescription, but
the utmost bounds of official dignity
and usefulness.
Ours is an exceedingly liberal commu-
nifty. The after dinner indulgences of
high-living gentlemen it tolerates with
great equanimity. The casual " larks"
of the young, the occasional deep pO-
tations of the solid men and even the
regular " nips" of the devoted worship
per at the shrine of the rosy" it can
endure with degree of patience sell
dom manifested in less liberal To-
cslities. Bat when naughty hab-
its deeply involve the public
interests and make a high officer
the theme OF jest aud reproach, our peo-
pie geserally are apt to become restive.
At least they have become so in this
case, aud without reference to sex,
creed or previous condition." they are
ready to unite in support of the doc
trine that when his public duties press
upon him aud require his constant care
and cleareSt brain, no official has a
right TO say "RHRc est bibendum"

The PresideuI's Views Upon Changes
in Omce.
Washington Correspondence Of the New York
Herald.

Washington Correspondence of the New York
Herald.
A gentleman whose word is as good
as a bond relates something of short
conversation that occurred between the
President and an officious bureau officer,
a day or two since, which may serve to
throw some Tight 'on the Presidents
views in regard to changes in office.
While speaking of the heads of bureaus
and divisions and chief clerks of the
Government departments here, the
volunteer counsellor asked:
"What ought to be done, General,
with those officers who have held their
positions for the last eight yearsp
"If they have discharged the duties
of their offices for eight years." replied
the President, "they should be contin-
ued in Office eight years longer"
The oflicious individual laughed
pleasantly, looked at his watch, and
said, II see You are very busy, Mr.. Pres
sident, SO will not detain. you"

Her family was constant in attentions

Grant and other leading army officers.
