THE RADICAL NEGRO SENATOR.


We take the following from the Nashville
(Tenn.) Union and american of February 23d,
which shows up the "nigger" Senator from
Mississippi in no very enviable light; but still
it shows that he possesses all the qualifications
requisite for a Radical Senator:
An attack upon John H. Morris, of Leaven-
worth, Kansas, by some friend of Senator Rev.
el's, has caused Mr.. Morris to ventilate the
Mississippi Senator in a lengthy card, accom-
panied by certificates to sustain his assertions
Among the number is card from portion of
the jury who tried an Indictment against Nor
ris TOR alleged libel of Revels. 1t is as follows:
LEAyENwoRTH, August 27, 1867.
We, the undersigned, were jurymen in the
case of the State of Kansas VS.. John H. Nor
ris, in which one Hiram III. Revels was CON-
planning witness. Said suit was instituted by
the said Revels in the form of criminal pros
ecution, for an alleged libel in charging the
said Revels with embezzling the funds Of his
church; with falsehood and hypocrisy, in GER
tain pamphlet entitled "a Humbug."
The defendant (MOrris) took the ground that
the alleged libel was true, and proved to our
satisfaction that the said Hiram H. Revels had
embezzled certain funds belonging to bis church,
and has been guilty of falsehood, and had un-
necessarily forced quarrel on the said Nor
rs, thus compelling him to act in yindication of
his own character,
In short, we found that the alleged libel was
true, and that 1t was published for good mo-
tives and iustiiable ends, all of which it was
necessary to prove to secure an acquittal in a
suit for libel

OF this certificate Mr. Morris says:
This statement of one-half of the jury who
tried me (some were out of the city, others /
could not find in the limited time had, hut
all that found readily signed it, seeming g.ad
to unite in an effort to rid this city of his bane-
ful presence) was taken to the Clerk of the
Court, who certified that the above named gen.
tlemen were jurymen in the case "The State
of Kansas VS.. John II. Norris" and that the
case was tried on the 21st and 22d days of
June, 1867, and that the jury returned ver-
dict of mot guilty as concerned the defendant,
John III. Morris" He then fixed the seal of
the Court to it,
T. NJ. Rankin is prominent and wealthy
citizen of this city; H. Markson is Deputy
Collector of Internal Revenue, and j. B. Flu
no keeps the European House, etc.
This document, with others impeaching Rev.
els, was forwarded to the Missouri Conference
of the A. NJ E. Church, and they removed him
from here, sending him to Louisville, Ky.

q full view of the old General He was
low il stature, but heavy SET, and wore .
black wig. He had . full face, large
head, with tall, prominent forehead;
his countenance showed his nobleness of
soul, and his age was, suppose, sixty or
sixty live years. We think it would be
In place here to describe his son G. w.
He was q tall, fine-looking young man,
say between thirty and thirty-five years OF
age, with dark eyes and darker hair than
his fathers; he was well proportioned,
but net heahy, weighing about l65 or 10
pounds.
Soon after breakfast they dismissed the
troops. Gen. a and all went to the col
lege; the soldiers went home. Ny
mother had seat me fine mare; l
mounted her and rode TO the college.
There Prof. Lindsey read fine speech
to Gems. Lafayette and Jackson. Gen.
LAFAYETTE rose and made few remarks
In reply, which could not understand
well, as il was broken. Gen. jackson got
up and gave the number of people of the
thirteen colonies at 5000, 900 when our
Independence was achieved, and put il at
20, 600, 600 then. He spoke of the hard
ships our fathers had in the, wars and
alluded to the noble deeds of the nations
guest. he said that the great chart of
liberty, the American Constitution,
formed by our fathers had been sustained
by wholesome laws and able Judicial de-
cisions; that were we the most happy and
prosperous people on earth. His eye
kindled then, as perhaps it did when he
gained the greatest and most bloodless
victory ever achieved in the annals of his
tory, and sent Packsnham home In pipe
of rum. He then held up both hands Co.
ward heaven and exclaimed with great
emphasis: 'sMay the God of the universe
perpetuate our civil and religious liberties,
and may our Constitution and Union last
forever" This was answered by loud
and long cheers.
President Lindsey conferred the hon
orary degrees of the college upon Gene
rails Lafayette and jackson. On the close
of the exercises, General jackson invited
them to the Hermitage, / among others
receiving an invitation. There l saw
General Lafayette present the pistols of
General Washington to General Jackson.
] called few weeks ago at the Hermi-
tsge to see the pistols again. Colonel
Jackson informed me that General Jack
son had willed them to George Wishing
ton Lafayette, and that they were in his
posse ssion in France. They were flint
lock, silver mounted pistols. When he
handed them to him he said: 81 know of
no man in America more worthy of this
memento of respect than yourself" Gen.
jackson thanked him for the honor con-
ferred, and said: 81 hope l viii not dis
grace the gift" / then went to my home,

coast, and the steamer was unable 10 ride
it Though, though of the very first class.
It was terrible calamity, and has
brought desolaIion into many of our
homes, and crushed with deep sorrow
hearts full of hope at the prospect of soon
greeting the absent and loved. There had
been uneasiness for her safety several
days, and when the tidings came that she
was lost, the city was overwhelmed with
grief. Those who had been iden-
tilted with all her interests and
her growth, were gone to return
no more. There was vacant chair in.
the family circle, an empty seat in the
church, missing face in The place of
business. The scene was painfully sad,
and one never to be forgotten in the his
tory of the city. But whilst we mourned
over those who were lost to us for ever on
earth, they were sweetly sleeping in the.
caverns Of the deep, shrouded with sea-
weed, and entombed in the VdrulG's
oaken casket, as though they reposed be-
meath the sweet roses and honey-suckles,
and evergreens of our Island Cemetery.
There they will rest secure from disturb
ance, in their watery tomb, where no
monster of the deep can violate its sane
t;ty, until that day when the sea shall give
up its dead. ~ tsF ~
Memorial services have been held in all
the churches, with large and grief-stricken
congregations. The Lord sanctify the
providence to the living! Surely Gin
the midst of life, we are in death. >"

SINGULAR COINCIDENCE.

The striking resemblance in personal
and public character between Washington
and Lee is not the only circumstance that
associates them together in the memory
of their countrymen. The Leesburg (Va)
WGshingtoniG'1 mentions these addi-
tional condolences; That both were born
in Westmoreland county, Va; that each
married Gusts; that each was promi-
nent, If indeed each was not in many re-
spects the most prominent figure in a
great historical American war; and each
has q Marshall for his historian--Chief
Justice Marshall having been the bio
grapher of Washington, and Col. Charles
Marshall, his relative, having been as
signed the task of writing the biography
of Lee.

The Columbia Herald says that on the
10th of November, between the hours of
eight and nine o'clock, James Houston,
accompanied by five or six other men,
was passing up Leatherwood creek in
Hickman county, when they were met by
another party of four men. Some con-
versation took place, and in the mean
time Houston had alighted from his horse
and was standing on the ground, when
one of the party of four drew pistol and
fired, the ball taking effect in Heuston's
neck and passing downwards. Houston's
recovery is thought to be extremely doubt
full. 1t was not known who did the
shooting. Both parties were said to have
been on "big tear" The writer in the
Herald says further, "The incident
comes to US in the shape of rumor, but
we do not doubt its truthfulness."

HOW TO MANAGE HIM.

"Hov shall you manage your husband"
Will tell you, nay dear, If can;
Hes really q wonde full creature,
That troublesome animal-man.
Yes, really a wonderful creature,
Inconsi tent and dreadfully queer;
But you'll soon know the secres By learning
The BsOdts Operandi, my dear.
II he stays out too late in the evening,
Psrtaking Of supper and wine,
Don't prove hun base fabricator,
When he comes, by asking the time,
For he surely will tell you the town clock
But q moment before rang out one
When it struck he had counted it over
Just three times before it had DONE"
And then, if his hat in the morning
Is smaller by far than his head,
Don hint By Ihe merest a fusion
That his lordshfp went t1psy to bed.
But rather regard the occurrence
Aphenomenon puzzlingly queer,
With q strange look of mystlhcaLion
In your eyes, if he's watc2ing, my dear.
And don't fail to sew on his buttons,
And nae d all his clothing with care;
Don't tease him for money for shopping;
Don't frown when he acts like bear;
Don't tell him too often, my deary,
That your head is aching with pain,
Lest he whisper way down in his bosom,
20, wish was single again.
Don't tell him that Mary, tbs housemaid,
And Ann, the obstreperous cook,
Refuse to receive your suggestions,
With even so much as a look.
Don't tell him how very annoying
You so often have found it to be
To be told to "get out of the Kitchen,
don't come q botherin' of mel"
But always seem cheerful and happy,
And always look pleasant and gay,
Than frown there II nothing more potent
In driving ones husband away.
And thus you must ever keep striving,
You will find it an excellent plan,
But whatever you do, dear, remember
That your husband is only man.

And the bitter sweet of thy burning mouth
In thousand kisses shau cling to thee.
