HELP THE STARVING.

At a meeting, in the hall of the En-
gine House, for the purpose of devising
plans to raise means in aid ofthe wound
ed soldiers and sufferers. impoverished
by the ravages of the late war between
Germany and France, after due delibera-
ton it was concluded that it would not
be advisable to attempt to raise money
by subscription and therefore it was re-
solved to give three entertainments, con-
sisting of Lecture, Musical Concert and
Theatre, the proceeds of which are to be
carefully and prudently used for the aid
ofsaid sufferers.
Hon.J. II. Anderson expressed him
self highly pleased with the idea, and
stated that during our late war he raised
about three thousand dollars in money
and goods, for our wounded soldiers, in
the city of Hamburg, Germany. which
was sent to the Sanitary Commission at
New York and other places. p. Cuneo
read the following letter, in which all
will recognize generosity that does
honor to the Messrs. Beery Brothers:
UPPER SANDUsKY, o., Feb. IL, 1871.
Gentlemen Of the Relief Meeting:
Understanding that it is proposed to
give series OF entertainments for the
benefit of the helpless sufferers of the
late war between Germany and France.
we take the liberty of rendering the use
of our Hall, free of charge, for what we
regard as noble and humane purpose.
Very Respectfully.
/. III. & \. BEERY.
DR.. A. Billhardt suggested that the
entertainments be given in the follow
ing order, which was approved:
First-Lecture by p. Cuneo, entitled
'Recollections of Italy," at Beery's Hall,
on FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH Sd, 1871.
Second-An Instrumental and Vocal
Concert, by the most talented musicians
and singers in our town, at same place,
on FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH, 10th, 1871.
Third-A Theatrical entertainment,
at same place, ON FRIDAY EVENING,
MARCH, 18th, 1871.
1t was also resolved that our citizens
be earnestly and cordially invited to give
these entertainments their generous
support.

appointed:

Southern War Claims,

Washington dispatches state that, at
the request of the Secretary Of the Trea-
sury, an opinion has been given by the
Attorney-general upon the effect of the
recent Legislation of Congress in connec-
ton with Southern war claims. On the
last day of the session Of the last Con-
gress a bill was passed authorizing the
President to appoint three commission
ers to examine the claims OF loyal adhe-
rents to the Government of the United
States for stores or supplies taken OF
furnished for the army during the war,
and report in each case their decision to
Congress. Prior to the passage of this
law the departments were prohibited
from settling war claims of the character
described, excepting those in Tennessee
and the two counties of Virginia annex
ed to West Virginia. When Tennessee
was readmitted i'll July, 1866, provision
was made by Congress for the settlement
of such claims originating in that State.
The law required the Quartermaster
General OF the Commissary General, ac-
cording to the description of the sup
plies, if satisfied of the justice of the
claim, to recommend payment at the
Treasury here. Upon revision of the
accounting officers, it was finally settled.
The Attorney General decides that under
the law creating the Commission the
War Department and the Treasury are
restrained from settling these claims
from Tennessee, and the two counties of
West Virginia Jefferson and Randolph) J
and the three Commissioners are the
only tribunal to adjudicate in the prem
ises. Another and important effect of
the law creating the Commission is that
all loyal claimants of the loyal States,
who hitherto have applied to the War
Department and Treasury for the settle
ment of their claims, not of contract, are
shut out from these departments, and
must begin de novo before the Commits
sion. One important result will be the
additional fees of the lawyers for pre-
pairing new forms and making more ar-
guments.- Banner.

The Negro as an Element.

That the negro was invested with the
right to vote that he might decide cleo
tions in favor of the Republican party,
is fact that cannot be successfully de-
MED that he has failed to do the work
for which he was enfranchised is fact
equally palpable, and much more inter-
esting and suggestive. In the election
in st. Louis Inst Tuesday, the Radical
party was reinforced by an element that
never appeared in our municipal con-
tests before, and yet tuat party was de-
feated by majority larger than the
strength of the new element. The nc
cession OF body ofa thousand on twelve
hundred new voters to the Radical ranks
was attended by the defeat Of the party
that has managed for eight years to car
ry our municipal elections without ne
gro aid, It was the same in Indiana OF
the last NOVEMBER election in that State ;
five thousand colored votes were added
to the Radical strength, but the Radical
party in spite Of the reinforcement was
beaten for the first time in many years.
Negroes voted for tho first time in New
Hampshire at its recent election; and
the defeat was attended by the defeat OF
the party they voted with. Even in the
South, where the population in many
districts, and in some States, outndm-
bers the white population, the Radical
party has been able to maintain itself
only through the artificial and outside
aid, afforded by federal bayonets and
prescription ofits OPPONENTS list. Lou
is Republican.

A Wedding Sensation.

The last sensation out in Nelson county
is over matrimonial mishap which oc-
CURED not long since. The case is that
of a sprightly little lady, aged thirty-six,
who, laboring under the mistaken idea
that husband incarcerated in the State
prison at Frankfort amounted to o di-
vorce, vinculo matrimoni, without any
Intervention of decree from q court
having jurisdiction to grant divorces,
gave herself in wedlock to q gay old
widOwer of seventy-three summers. The
consequence was that only few days of
matrimonial bliss were allowed them
they were as happy rs two very large
sun Aowers-when the stern, inexorable
law stepped in and declared them twain,
notwithstanding the man of God had
pronounced them bone of one bone and
flesh of one flesh. They twained accor-
dinghy, and executive elemency has al
ready been brought into requisition TO
relieve the lady of any prosecution for
bigamy. The couple are now quietly
resting on their oars, waiting for the
next term of the Chancery Court to
come, when a divorce will be obtained
from the cold love-" who is still in pris-
on, and another wedding gone through
with as to the 'new." The bridegroom
has already given substantial evidence
of his affection for the lady. On the day
of their first wedding he decided her two
hundred acres of land and made her a
present of three thousand dollars in
money. The day following he was so
well pleased with his choice that he in
creased the land gift to five hundred
acres and the money to five thousand
dollars Should the little lady, to fur
ther test the affections of her lover, make
o demand of few more thousand on the
day of their second wedding, it would
add another interesting feature to the
case.

The New RAnnets.

From the New York Fashion oorrespon-
dent Of the Atlanta Constitution, we ex-
tract the following, on the new styles Of
Bonnets: ...',... =
The millinery openings, which we're
postponed toa week later than usual, have
taken place, and, though there was little
that was new, there was plenty that was
pretty, bright and attractive. The bon.
nets from abroad are larger than that Of
American manufacture, and differ in the
quality of the materials used, but other
wise there is little difference to note.
A very high English round ha. attracts
immediate attention, but il has favor Of
rylurnia rather than Of Bglgravia, and
would be considered "fast" BY female
boat racer"
Nearly all of the hats this season are
6onnets, but they are so much like hats
that II is, as Mr.. Toole used to remark,
OF no consequence. The particular objee-
ton to them is, that there Is no one fxed
fact about them to anchor ourselfto-they
are as uncertain as the waves, or the sands
upon the sea shore. While there is q
general resemblance, no two are alike; it
is little more brim or little less crown,
or a brim indented, or brim up in one
particular, however they are all alike, and
that is in being composed mainly Of straw.
There are few Of crepe and few Of lace,
but the majority are of fine English or
Italian straw, the best and most useful ma
terial for spring and summer bonnets ever
invented, and the only one adapted for
wear with variety of costumes.

SambO,s FOrethought.

Sambo was thoughtful old darkey,
He was born under the administration
of Mr.. Julian Provost, being chattel Of
said Julian, of old Virginia-and was
now chattel of Mr.. Archibald Provost,
son of said Julian. Sambo was old, and
had been faithful. He had seen many
mutations, and had babe an eternal
farewell in the flesh to many, many
friends. For his faithfulness, and in
consideration of his long service, Sambo
had been promoted to the office of ma
jcr-donIo, and none presumed to inter
fere with his administration.
There had been several sickly seasons
in that particular Virginia district, and
the number of departures from the First
Families" had been large; and be sure
that in the distribution OF funeral cards
Col. Archibald Provost and family were
never forgotten.
At length death entered the family OF
an esteemed and well beloved neighbor,
and Mr.. Provost must attend the funer-
al. Was said funeral to take place on
Tuesday or Wednesday q? Mr.. P. asked
his wife. She referred him to the fu-
neral card. He went to the silver tray,
in the large drawing room, where the
cards were usually deposited but the
missive was not there. And, what struck
the worthy host as very peculiar, not one
OF the many cards Of like import, which
had been received during the times past
was to be found. He inquired of the
members of his family, but they could
give him no information. As last re-
sort he summoned his major-dono, and
inquired of him. Sambo trembled with
sore apprehension.
"Praise de Lord, Mas'r, I won't tell
lie. Use got um.
"What got all of themT
eyes, yes,-but don't walEup me. I'll
go and fotch um.'
And with this the old dArkey hurried
away, and soon returned with score or
more ofthe missing cards.
"Here dey is, MNs'r, all safe and sound
-eb'ry one OBJ um."
"In the name of wonder, Sambo," de-
manded Mr.. Provost, as he took the
missives and found them all neatly pre-
served, "what did you want with such o
batch of mourning cards?"
"As true's de Lord, Mas'r, I did not
mean no harm. Use berry old, and 1
spects I'll die fore long, and SO thought
I'd lay desc up to send to de old dark
eys on de oder plantations to come to
my funeralp
