GENERAL LoNGsTREET.--The L;

GENERAL LoNGSTREET.--The La
Grange (Ga.) Reporter says:
When man once starts down
the declivity of ruin he descends
with great rapidity to the bottom.
General Longstreet once held a
warm place in every Southern
heart for his great bravery and
fighting qualities and devotion to
the Confederate cause. In an
evil hour he yielded to the temp
tation of Federal pap and became
a Radical, for which he was made
an officer of the customs at New
Orleans. But he has let himself
down, down, to lower depth of
polical degradation! He has been
appointed by the Radical Cover
nor, Adjutant-General Of the
Louisiana State Militia. Every
body knows what militia means,
and can appreciate too wildly the
downfall and degradation of Long
street.

Mr.. Cyrus w. Field is standing
out in a drenching rain of luck.
Having conquered the Atlantic
Ocean, he turned his face to the
Pacific. He asked Congress for a
half a million annual subsidy for
twenty years, to enable him to lay
a cable to China. The Fo. ign
Relations Committee of the Sem
ate are to report favorably OIL his
modest request. Perhaps both
Houses will vote the money
Then they will be asked to pay
another half million annually,
perhaps, to restore to Mr.. Field
his investments of time and moD-
ey in the Atlantic Cable, besides
prohibiting the laying of rival
lines without his consent. What
is there, in fact, that Congress will
not yet be asked to do for others !?

Conventions.

The Huntington Courier, speak
ing of the necessity and propriety
of conventions at the present time,
says:
The people are all free agents,
and one man has as much voice
in the regulation of these matters
as another, if he chooses to use it.
If there are such things as the
'cliques and rings" the Republic
an speaks about, (and we very
much doubt their existence outside
of the Radical partly, there is no
better way in the world to break
them up than for the people to as
semble together and freely inter-
change views on the situation.-
By SO doing our best men will be
brought out, harmony and good
feeling will prevail, and We shall
have the satisfaction of seeing our
offices filed with good and relia-
bic men, and the "cliques and
rings" will have to "cave."

The funniest thing you ever
heard of has just happened out in
Cincinnati. One Brown, by pro-
tession a lawyer, and possessed of
poor memory, but a champion
forgotten, was engaged by one
Jones to defend him on the charge
of horse-stealing, a retaining fee
being duly paid. You see Jones
was leading a halter one day,
when a horse stuck his blamed
ugly head into it, and that was
the cause of it. Now there was,
strangely enough, another man in
Porkopolls by the name of Jones,
and this other Jones did some
thing in the poultry line-was,
in fact, a midnight chicken sedu.
Ger. One night a policeman caught
him at fowl play, and the two
Joneses happened to be brought
into court at the same time.-
Brown had forgotten all about his
case, but when chicken Jones case
was called an indistinct recollec-
ton flashed across him, and he
jumped up and talked chicken
Jones into freedom. Then he
plaoidly walked off, leaving horse
Jones to be sent to the peniten-
tiary for the term of three years.
Chicken Jones flaps his wings
with delight, while horse Jones
whinnies his sorrow in a prison
cell, mourning the loss of his lib
erty and his fee.
