CAN'T Go WHITTEMORE.-The New
York Tribune cannot stand the return Of
Whittemore, of South Carolina, to Con-
gress, after his having been expelled
once for cadetship selling. The resolu-
ton of the House in regard to White
more declared "tliat his conduct in the
premises has been such as to show him
unworthy of seat in the House of Rep
tesentatives, aid is therefore condemned
as conduct unworthy of the Representa-
ii re of the people," The Tribune point
edly asks, lis this corrupt man, who
was unworthy of seat three months
ago, to be re-admitted as worthy now?
We hear that he has been telegraphing
to his friend and counsel, Gen. Butler,
the news Of his triumphant recollection !;
that he confidently expects to be admit
ted without dispute; that reputable
members are deploring it in o helpless
sort of way, and going about dolefully
asking each other, How can we prevent
it?'" To this, the Tribune answers that
the House is made the sole judge rs to
the qualifications of its members, End
says:
s'Thus far, the Democrats have
promptly spurned and cast out every
member of their party found guilty of
this cadetship infamy. We assumed
great virtue at the outset, then we fur
nished able counsel for the congressional
cIdet merchants; next we excused one be-
cause he had been an unusally active
Republican, and after that the whole
business broke down. We tell gentle
men that we have had fully as much of
this sort Of thing as we can stand. We
utterly and vehemently protest against
assuming any more party responsibilities
10 behalf of the carpet-bag Congressman
Here is man notoriously guilty of
shameful and criminal acts. The law of
Congress explicitly provides that if any
member of Congress shall, directly or
indirectly, receive any pecuniary or
other valuble consideration for procuring
any Office or place under the Govern
ment, he shall be liable to Indictment
for misdemeanor in @ United states
Court, and, upon conviction, shall pay
fine not exceeding $4,000, and be I'M
prisoned in the penitentiary for a term
not exceeding two years, and be there
after disqualified from holding any Office
of honor, profit or trust under the Co
vernment of the United States. The
House has resolved that he has done
these things; it has itself prescribed this
penalty for the doing OF these things; it
now asks whether, ignoring the guilt,
and defying its own law, it shall read
NIT Mr.. Whjttemore-perhaps that he
may vote for the repeul of the odious
lawp'
Further on, the editors disgust so far
gets the better of him. as to move him to
add:
eve have never held that negro suf-
frage, coupled with dsfranchisement of
whites, afforded such solution. We
point now to its disgraceful workings in
the case of this man Whittemore, and
ask honorable Observation-Disclosures
himself is soon to show an admiring
world what this high title, honorable
meaps-to consider the result and draw
their own conclusions"
On the whole, this il n most manly
article. What effect it is to have at
Washington, remains to be seen.

The EFFECT OF CL1MArE.-Wo once
heard story of some negroes that had
mastered tho Irish broguc, and played n
trick on boat-load OF cmigrants, who
were SO enger to set foot on the soil of
the New World, that they left the boat
before their companions.
"An' are yees just over, boys?" said
jet black African, i'll tho richest possible
brogue, and with the warmest interest,
as he bent over the wharf, where lie and
his companions were working.
The strangers regarded him with q
look Of mingled nstonishment and ter
ror, while one of them found breath to
inqnire-"An' how is it that yees are
black?"
"It's the cloimate, boys; it's all in the
cloimate," was the answer.
"A An how long did it tuke?" said the
anxious spokesman, ''to mako ye this
color?"
"Three years, an niver bit longer. F"
Thin, bedad, hoys," said Paddy 10
his countrymen, "let's go back; it's too
soon to be divils intirely.''

The WRONGS OF THE INDIANS. The
wrongs which are constantly being
heaped upon the Indians by the Go
vernment and its agents should be more
thoroughly exposed by the press. The
Boston Adrcrtise'' may we'll say that the
report Of the Indian Commissioners pre-
scnts startling picture of ini1uitics
practiccd towards the savages of the
West The Government has never kept
faith with them, but has driven them
from pillar to post, and has suffered
them to DO plundcrcd at every turn.
The wars Oh the borders, almost without
exception, are begun by white men. A
class of disreputable traders End it pro.
fitable to incite M occasional outbreak
They hang like vultures on the rear Of
the army, ready to speculate indifferently
upon the appetites of the soldiers or the
necessities Of the savages. Besides, war
interferes with agriculture, and those
tribes which are allowed to cultivate the
soil do not produce furs to enrich the
traders. Tho Commissioners testify that
the Indians are generally willing, and
even anxious, to pursue agriculture, if
permitted to do Sc without being mo-
Tested.

SENSIBLE. Yankee who has settled
in Georgia, and engaged in agriculture,
made sensible speech in all agricultu-
raj convention in Charleston He said:
'If Northern man comes down here
to look at the country, as hundreds are
doing every month, get him to settle on
your land. If he has $500, get it away
from him, invested in your land, and
then ho will stick, and whatever State
he comes from he will be Georgian or
Il South Carolinian in less than year.
If his money is here his heart will be
here, and his politics will be here. The
Southern men smiled at this rs Yankee
ism, but not Il few Of them recognized
the essence Of truth in it, after all. He
continued: Capital can control labor in
the end. The fact is, that where North
crn farmer gets rich, he does it not so
much by farming rs Embarrassing the val
lie Of his land, bringing it to the highest
state Of cultivation, drawing other peo-
pie around him, building up pleasant
neighborhood, getting schools and
churches about and SO on, until he is a
wealthy man. Itcan be done Just as well
here as there. have u little piece of
land i'll Georgia, and tell you right here
! mean to bring it up to my standard, or
die in the attempt. I put my capital
and my own muscle right into it, and if
capital can't control labor, I'll find out
the reason why"

ONE OF TIE ESCORT OF Gen. LAFAY-
ETrE.-We were introduced, yesterday,
to a gentleman, named Satterwhitc, of
South Carolina. He was born in 1898,
and hence is now aged seventy-two years.
When ho was twenty-six years old he
formed one of all escort of regiment
Of 1920 cavalrymen to Gen. Lafayette,
when he epassed through Columbia, South
Carolina. He says that in the regiment
there was not man nor horse under
five feet high. Hey were halted mile
and half from Columbia, and thence
to that place The ground over which La
Fayettc walked was completely covered
with carpets. Must have taken IL pile Of
them. Like NIL old men, he has many
such recollections, which are, however,
cast into tho shade by later and IN ore
stirring events. CoiumbuS SIN.

DIR. Franklin, it is well known, gained
great praise for wearing m ordinary
plain suit, instead of gold embroidered
court costume, when formally presented
to King Louis XVI. In reference to this
anccdotc, Nathaniel Hawthorc, in his
notebook, just published, states that he
was told by an aged lady, in England,
that the circumstance above mentioned
arose from the fact that Franklin's tailor
disappointed him Of his court suit, and
that he wore his plain one with great
reluctance, because ho had no other.
Franklin, it is said, having by his mishap
made successful impression, continued
to wear his plain dress through policy.
Is this another dissipation of pleasant
piece Of history, like the destruction of
the story of Pocahontas, and the fine
heroic drama in which William Tell
figured SO handsomely?

A gentleman left the dry goods bust
ness and came on the street. He brought
with him some money. He became q
very daring operator aud was the terror
OF the street. He was said to be very
successful as we'll as very bold. His
broker was one of the heaviest houses in
New York. One day the senior partner
OF the house said to the operator, "Do
you know how much cash we have to
your credit?" The man replied indif
ferently, ''You have few thousands, 1
suppose" "There arc $75O,OOO," the
banker said, ''to your credit on our
books. Now let mo give you little
piece Of advice. Take ont of this house
$500, 600; buy Il fine house on Fifth ave-
nue.; furnish it complete and settle it on
your wife. Salt down the balance in
Government securities; take your wife,
go abroad, and get out Of the street for
six months" The man could not do
that, for he had gigantic speculations on
hand, and when they were completed he
would think about it. In four months
from that time the operator was penni-
less, and is now working coal mine in
Pennsylvania. The mental agony through
which lie passed in that short time made
him twenty years older, FURNISHED the
top Of his head like Il billiard ball, and
sank him out of sight on the street. This
is Il mere specimen Of the magnitude and
suddenness of reverscs in Wall street.
