A CORRESPONDENT of the New York Tribune,
writing from Mississippi, complains that the
Governor elected by the Republican party in
that State has betrayed his political friends,
and acted in the interest of the Conservatives
or Democracy. If this charge is true,
Alcorn swells the long list of un-
trustworthy Southern white Republi-
cans When the career of Andy
Johnson, Frank Blair, Andy Hamilton, cadet
selling Winnemore, Governor Senter, Gov
ernor Swami, etc. ETC., is remembered, it
becomes exceedingly difficult to know what
white men living south of Mason and Dixon S
line are worthy of the confidence of the Re-
publican party and if the rule is not adopted
of putting only colored men on guard in
rebeldom, the whole Southern Republican
party is in fair way of being extinguished.
The Ku-klux clans may be dangerous enough,
but it is not possible for them to do as much
injury to the party they hate as it has
suffered from the hands of its Southern
champions.

THE ARCH TRAITOR BOASTING OF
HIS TREASON

DISTINGUISHED preacher, belonging to
very influential, powerful, and exemplary
Christian sect, once said, in deploring the
bitter controversies that arose in its periodical
Church councils, that there was always re-
joieing in hell when such assemblages con-
vened. The late distractions, dissensions,
and threatened defeat of the Republican party
have had similar effect upon the unhung
foes Of popular government, and especially
upon the petticoated refugee whose heart,
though black with crime, has long been trem-
bling with cowardice. jeff. Davis, who
ought to be glad to hide his dshonored
head in the most secret recesses of the
universe, and to drag out the dregs
of his despicable existence in some obscure
den, has had the hardihood to exult in his
treason, to predict its final triumph, to criti-
cize the conduct of the people who mercifully
refrained from hanging him in chains as
warning to his bloody Ku-klux supporters,
and to boast that he had never asked for
pardon because he felt that he had done no
wrong. The abstract of the speech he re-
Gently delivered at Montgomery, Alabama,
which was republished in The TELEGRAPH of
yesterday, will do infinitely more than
any recent occurrence to convince the
people of the North that the mise
rable wretch who inflicted such fearful
miseries upon both sections still has hosts of
infatuated followers ready to do his wicked
bidding, and that the recent Democratic sue
cesses have exerted dangerous and damaging
influence in emboldening treason and revivi-
flying its bloody doctrines. This branded and
baffied Mississippi whelp of slavery and seces-
sion would not have mustered up courage to
use his lying tongue for the infamously charac-
teristic purpose of preaching ar eactionary cru
sade; if he had not been emboldened by the
hope that his allies would soon be installed in
power; and it remains for the people to deter
mine whether the wishes of this worst of
criminals shall be gratifed,

One of the features of the abstract Of the
report of the commissioners sent to Dominica
is especially noticeable. 1t is the statement
that while the national debt of Dominica is
in round numbers, 81, 400,0 900, nearly half
this sum, or 5000, 900, consists of claims for
unpaid salaries of Dominican officials This
simple story let's a good deal of daylight
into the way the governmental machine is
run down in the proposed acquisition. 1T sug
gests, on the one hand, that the Dominican
office-holders are to be well gorged with
American gold, in return for their support of
the treaty; and it indicates, on the other, that
Dominica must be fearfully poverty
stricken, for otherwise she would scarcely
have allowed such large claim
for back salaries to accumulate In this
country, before the art of plundering the
people was so well understood by the politi-
clans, a few hundred thousand people could
be governed many years before the total
claims for the salaries of ofice-holders
amounted to $6OO,OOO; and Dominica must
either have beon served gratuitously for
very long period, or else she must have pro-
missed to pay very large salaries to her very
worthless Office holders.

THURSDAY, MARCH 80, 1871.

~ THE EVENING TELEGRAPH, from
Its original establishment, has been in the
receipt of telegraphic news from the New
York Associated Press, which consists OF
the Tribune, Times, Herald, World,
San, Journal of Commerce, EVsning Post,
Commercial AGVs,fissr, and EvsNing En-
6,ess. The success which has attended
our enterprise is, In itself, sufficient evil
dence of the freshness, fullness, and relia-
bllity of the news which we have received
from this source. In March, 1870, we en-
tered into special contract by which THE
EVENING TELEGRAPH has the exeInsive
use of the news furnished in the afternoon
by the Associated Press to its own members,
the North Ame,zean, Inquirer, Ledger,
Press, Age, Record, and German Democrat,
of this city, and the leading journals Of the
East, North, West and South; and hereafter
THE TELEGRAPH will be the onLy eveui,te

afternoon dispatches of the Associated
Press will appear.

Making grand total of............... s2,9s9e44
including the balances still due under the
adjudications made in pursuance of the acts
of 1866 and 1868. OF the total amount
claimed under the act of 1868, the alleged
damages by the Rebels reached 81, 649, ,OS7,
while that inflicted by the Union troops was
placed at $l71, s65 only. We hope the Legis-
lature Will have the firmness to settle this
whole matter by declining positively to pay
any of the claims, and thus prevent the
State from being placed under an additional
load of taxation which it ought not to bear.

RIVER NEws.-The river was full OF
floating ice yesterday, and reports from
above state that the river is closed at
Steubenville and at Wellsburg.
The Forest City got down as far as
Wellsburg, but the ice forced her 10
return.
The James Rees had not arrived up
to dark last night. Report says she is
detained by ice at Hates Rock. A
gentleman informed US last evening
that he saw the Rees at Pipe creek,
going on one wheel. He supposed the
other had been injured by the ice.
The Courier left yesterday for Park
ersburg, bnt it is thought she cannot get
through, as the Express found the river
closed at Newport, and was obliged to
return to Parkersburg.
The Major Anderson did not leave
yesterday, because Of the ice. We hear
that she will be laid up at the water
works.
The New State was taken 10 a point
ar Heath erington's yesterday for an
harbor.
Navigation may therefore be con
dered suspended until the weather
let's up" little.

ST., NICHOLAS DAY.-St. Nicholas is
the patron saint of Russia and also oil
New York. In the last named place
the inhabitants have dedicated one OF
the largest hotels in the word to the
memory Of good st. Nicholas. The
saint was a native Of Asia Minor.
Even as babe he evidenced his piety
by refusing his natural maternal nour-
ishmept on Fridays and other appointed
fasts. He is the patron Of the young
who, in some parts of the world, expect
him to visit them on his day and bring
them presents. St. Nicholas ia com
monty represented with tub contain

one of his miracles performed in time
Of great scarcity, when a certain man
being short Of provisions, seized some
little children, cut them up, sailed their
limbs and served them up to his guests,
He set a disR before st. Nicholas, who
at once perceiving what it contained

in salt, offered up some prayers, and
restored the children alive and whole
He performed many other good and
pious works, and died Bishop OF Myra|

Fun FOR THE BoYs.-This cold snap
having made excellent skating upon the
creek and ponds, is looked upon by the
boys as a special dispensat'on of a
benefcent Providence. They enjoy the
sliding and skating part of it hugely.
Some envious youngsters, who are evil
IDENTITY busted as to skates, have filled
the ice on the creek in the neighborhood
of Market street bridge, as far as they
could throw, with brickbats, stones and
sticks, to the discontinue Of the ska
fists. We went skating once. We're
member it well. 1t was on creek near
a bridge. There were lots of girls on
the bridge. 1t was when we were young
and cared for the girls. Desiring to
win the approval OF the Innocent
Maidens, we Topped around and threw
in two or three scollops. We fell down.
In falling, we heard something rip. We
heard one Innocent Maiden remark to
another Innocent Maiden, "Oh I! see,
Murrier, what a careful fellow that is.
He has spread out his white handker-
chief to sit down on" 1t wasn't our
white handkerchief, and we have al
ways thought that Innocent Maiden
knew it wasn't.

POLICE CouRr.-There was nothing
but disorderly cases, and these continued
from Monday, before this court yester-
day. 1t was too cold for galoots to
wander from saloon to saloon, sponging
their drinks, on Tuesday night, besides
being too cold for men who treat to
leave their warm fires to "go out and
have a time with the boys" The
consequence was that no one was
drunk on the streets, go far as heard
from.
The charge of disorderly conduct
preferred against August Rust and
John Handley will be heard this morn
ing. A rule was issued against Henry
Meyers for failing to answer subpoena
as witness.

duct in going to his residence on Water
street, where his wife was lying sick o.
smallpox, and kicking on the door, wat
fred $50 and costs.
Noah Habig and John Gardner went
to the Atlantic saloon, on South street
on Sunday last, and demanded to be
supplied with liquor. Being refused
they raised a ruction on the street
calling the proprietor and barkeepel
very opprobrious names. The bar
keeper came out TO order them off
