A SOUTHERN paper relates Imaginable IN
ciJent connected with the visit of the Joint
high commission to Harper's Ferry. The
presepce OF the distinguished party attracted
a large number of citizens anxious to obtain a
peep at the titled visitors, and among them was
a pompous old gentleman somewhat noted for
his venerable appearance, fluency of speech,
and strict conservative principles, who was
conspicuous in his endeay"rs To make hi1self
agreeable. Attaching him-elf specially to a
gentleman who was evidently one of tt g most
prominent of the party, he took occasion to re-
mark in oratorcal tones: II am happy to see
you. gentlemen of England. AS an American
citizen came to pay my respects 10 YOU; hut

with whom yen are associated The gentle
man addressed, and those OF the visitors with

hugely; but the old gentleman himself was in

he had be II talking with Gen. SGhenck.

PERHAPS the ordinary reader may have
lurking about him lingering embers Of a be-
lief in the supernatural, so that spots on the
sun may be connected in some inexplcable
manner with the Franco German war; or
even that the earthquake in Canada few
weeks since may have resulted from the agi-
tation on the Fishery question; or that Hor-
ace Greeley's advocacy to the Texans OF Ad-
ans ale as beverage far preferable to mint
juleps may be connected with that superfluity
of water that has burst all barriers and
drenched cities in. storms of weeks dura-
ton where he has visited; or that the resur-
rection of Vallandisham from that Ohio pc.
litical graveyard and his escape in the "new
departure, connection with the mysterious
and mighty Illinois cyclone that swept the
earth and marked it with 'burning ruin,
All this may be mildly entertained; but when
anewspaper says that this prob lem of new
departure has SO changed the whole current
of a party traditions and ADMINISTRATIONS
and habits, that have always been one of the
main panks of its political platform-that
the members of the late Convention in the
very vicinity of that old Bourbon whose nee
Tar they love so well, drank nothing but lem
onade and ice water, it is calculating upon a
degree of credulity with which no sane per-
son can be inflicted. What revolution! In
1868 when these same politicians went to
New York to nominate Pendleton the sup
plies of the party filled car and there were
but two loaves of bread and ham; and this
amount of solids certain spirituously inclined
denounced as an objectionable blunder and
altogether disproportionate to the kegs and
bottles that crowded the balance of the space.
