Why the Moon Wasn't Made of Green
Cheese.

Rev. Richard Newton, d. d. of
Philadelphia, in his recent speech at
tho forty-seventh anniversary of
the American Sunday School Union,
said:
"The love for children How much
there is in them to call it forth How
much love in them, how much fresh
ness, how much artless simplicity
and beautiful sympathy, and how
much charming originality-how
much of every thing there is in them
to call out our very best and richest
emotions
"Some years ago little fve-year-
old boy in my church, after saying his
evening prayers, asked: Mother,
will father 90 to heaven when he dies?
(His father was large man, with a
great huge frame.) Yes, | hope he
will do not doubt he will. Why
do you ask {? oh, l only wanted to
know ; and for q time the subject
seemed to have faded from the ehid's
mind. But it soon cropped out again
Are you sure, mother, that father
will go to heaven when he dies z
yes, my child, | do not doubt it; why
do you ask2' The little fellow was
silent moment, and then burst out
with: 'Golly what a whopping
angel he'll make T"
"Very often we find true wisdom
it the utterances Of even the young
est children. You have all noticed or
heard of illustrations in your own ex-
perience. One little girl six years
old was on u visit to her grandfather,
who was q New England divine cele-
brated for his logical powers. Only

t1~ We once knew a clergyman
who was SO rigidly and frigidly liter
al and matter"of-fact that he was
wholly incapable Of entertaining or
comp-ehending Il metaphor of any
kind whatever. He believed to his
dying day that Shakespeare's mind
was strained and confused by
too intense application when he
wrote that there be
Sermons in stones,
Books in the running brooks
And good in everything;
and contended that it was perfectly
plain that what he meant to say was,
there be
Sermons in books,
Stones ia the running brooks,
And good in everything.

That old harlot, the New Orleans
Times, has recently excited the ire of
the New Orleans Bulletin, and the way
the latter "gets away" with the former
evinces great familiarity with the vain
tricks and blatant pretensiOns of the
Times. The following is clipped from
the Bulletin of the 10Th instant:
The Times, after admitting that its
editor was a party to transaction of
which it afterwards complained and
denounced, says:
''As to the Bulletin, if its course had
been as high and straightforward as that
of the Times, its friends would not be
forced to the humiliating necessity Of
soliciting private subsidies for its sup
port"
We are free to confess that if the Bull
letin had pursued not the same 'high
and straightforward course" but the
tOrtuous and doubtful course of the
Times, the financial condition ofthe Bull
letin would have been better. Had we
engaged in the slaughter house mOnOp-
oily and been incorporators of levee bills
and other such measures of Radical
plumber, our Golfers would have been
fuller. And did we possess the won
derful faculty of availing ourselves of
the bankrupt law, paying our creditors
five or ten cents on the dollar, and then
emerging from the bankrupt court the
sole owner of Il daily newspaper, our
bank account would compare favorably
with that of the Times. Admitting
that we are "forced to the humiIiating
necessity ofsoliciting private subsidies"
which is not true, is it not better to do
this than to grow fat by feeding upon a
tax-ridden people and Withholding
from our honest creditors their just
dues? We submit that it is and we be-
lieve that the community will SO con-
slider it.

Southern OMtrages.

The proceedings of the "Outrage"
Committee are thus recited in theWash-
ington Chronicle, and republished here
that our people may see how Southern
affairs are viewed by the Radicals:
The Special Senate Committee, APP
pointed to make an investigation into
the condition of affairs at the South, has
held daily sessions during the last two
weeks. Thus far, twenty-five witnesses
have been eXamined-all from North
Caroiina-among them Judges Settle
and Henry, and other prominent citi-
ZerG.
Governor Holden will be examined
in few days.
The Democrats, it is understood, will
summon eX-Judge Battle, 3. p. Moore,
and other we'll known politicians, to
te3t;iy~in behalf Of the Kukiux.
The defence and apology for the out
RACES are laid on two grounds; One, the
existence of the Union League; the
Other, The alleged railroad frauds.
The witnesses already examined have
uniformly testified to the existence of
The Order known as the Kuklux, and
come from all parts Of the state.
Cne fact already proven is that the
Associated Press agent at Raleigh, who
prepared the dispatches Of last summer
concerning the movement Of the militia
and the kukluX klans, and who col
ored his statements in the interest of
the rebels and insurrectionists, Gas eX-
posed 1t the time by special CORES
pendent Of the New York Tribune,) is
a member of the KukluX Khan,
This person is an employee in the Raj
eigh Sentinel, edited by Joseph Turner.
The members Of the committee are
much interested in the startling devel-
opments made, and are busily prose-
cutting their labors. y large number
of witnesses will be subpmnied here
after, many of them persons actually
scOurged, several ex-members OF the
kuliluX organization, and others, who
are officially acquainted with the fail
ure Of state civil law to punish or sup
press the KukluX. 1t is evidently the
intention Of the committee to prosecute
the work laid out for them thoroughly
and impartially. TO do this, Judging
from the progress made, will require
months Of continuous labor.

Another nail has been driven into
the coffin of the programme Of sending
to Congress none but men who could
take the Test-Oath, by the passage by
Congress and the approval by the Pres
ident, of bill admitting DR.. Miller as
Senator from Georgia, upon taking the
Constitutional oath of Office, DIR. Miller
having been a Confederate in the late
war. DIR. Miller was elected at the
same time with Mr.. Hill, already
seated, and is strong Democrat.

Advance in Real Estate in Selma, Ain.

Since the Democratic victory in Sell
ma, Ala, and the commencement of
Forests road, real estate is said to have
advanced fifty per cent, and all kinds
of business to have grown brisk. The
news of the action Of our County Court
subscribing $500, 600 to this end of their
road, assuring its completion to this
city, and the prompt commencement
of the work, OF which we hope soon to
be able to send them intelligence, will
further increase their good fortune.
And it would seem extravaganza now
to predict the advantage to our city
and the country along the line of the
route, which is to result from the COM
pletion of this important enterprise.

that the Senate non-concur, and ask for

moved the Senate concur. Warner said
the amendments made by the House

that it lay on the table until it be print
ed, which was agreed to.
House.-A bill prescribing the oath
for Senator Miller, of Ga, passed, and

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.--The ques-
ton, whether the position of belliger-
ents enabled the Confederate States to
pass valid title to property sold by
them at confiscation sales, was yester-
day argued before the Supreme Court
in the case of Knox vs.. Lee, from the
Circuit Court of Eastern Texas. The
Court below held that the Confederate
proceedings were void, and the title OF
the purchaser at the sale invalid. The
writ of error seeks to reverse that judg-
ment. The Court below having in
ssructed the jury that any amount their
verdict might give for the plaintiff
against the purchaser Of the property at
the confiscation sale could be paid in
legal tender notes, caused the latter
question to be also discussed in the ar
gument,

The San Domingo Commission met
last evening and exchanged views in
regard to the work remaining TO be
done and the propriety Of forwarding
preliminary report Of the investigation
so far made, and particularly as to the
result of the past few days. Upon the
question of forwarding brief report by
mail, it was decided not to send it, in
view of the fact that considerable inn
portant information just obtained might
materially change the report from what
had been fully considered. However,
4 brief letter was addressed to the See
rotary of State, giving an outline of the
work already done and list of the ex-
petitions sent into the interior, together
with the objects of each, date, name,
etc. Parties are out officially examin-
ing the actual condition of things. The
Haytien complication is occupying the
serious attention of the Commission,
and their intention now is to devote
much more time to its investigation
than at first agreed upon. Full tran
