THE LAWYERS CAsg.-We have received a

The following Is so truthful and so good
every way that we must copy it. 1t Is from
the Petersburg Progress:
An Extreme Democratic View


The telegraph has already announced to
readers Of the Progress that the Hon. ID. ".
Voorhees,, of Indiana, had made use of hi,
privileges rs i member of the House OF
Representatives to deliver violent TRADE
ngaiil>; the Cincinnati nominees. We have
received Il full REPORT OF the speech of the
man who so earnestly defended one of John
Browns murdcrouS crew, and have only t.
say in reply to his pretended defence of the
South that we lIaYc had entirely enough oil
himself and the class to which he belongs.
BY such nen, by SUCH brave speakers, by
such inconqucrlblc callcts warriors, We're we
persuaded into war. When the flower OF
both sections was falling OH bloody fields
Mr.. Voorhees, was still making pretty
speeches in Congress.
Since actual hostiities ceased, this gentle
nan has insisted that the South should stand
by its colors and by so doing the South has
lost everything, while Mr.. VOORHEES, and his
associates have --- kept IN Congress.
Now let all people Of his way Of thinking
understand that their one-sided game is
played out The South is us tired Of the
costly friendship OF pretended friends as of
the constant victories of open enemies.
If Mr.. Voorhees, has nothing more solid to
appeal to than the past PASSIONS of the SOUTH
cl.n people he had better begin to cultivate
u new talent, that Of silence, and try to learn
lesson which has been taught to wiser
men that the worm will turn when roddcn
on.
Certainly, having steadfastly resisted the
Entertainments and aggressions of the abso-
lutte rulers of this country, we are neither
foolish nor craven enough to submit to the
dictation Of III imbecIe minority,
Ii We were towards, they are impoteni
to execute threat
Ii we were ycnal, they could honor no
promised bride.
Not No! No! Let that clique of the
northern Democracy which ties it's fortunes
to a BELIEF in tile perpetual credulity Of
southern conservatism receive the truth in
time. We are sick of CANNON. We will not

WASHINGTON, January 23.-The work of
strengthening the Southern Notifications
cOastwise is to be entered on in good earnest,
so that the government may be prepared
for an emergency. 1t is certain that orders
have been issued for the overhauling of the
harbor defenses of Charleston, involving
important changes and the expenditure Of
large amounts of money Forts Moultrie
and Sumter are about to receive their
proper armament. and the work of mount
ing thirty or forty heavy guns in these
works is under contract. and.N probably
be begun tomorrow. Ford 1ultrie is in
good repair, but Fort Sumter will require
vast amount of work to make it once
more like the key to the harbor. One han
dred men constitute the working force.
Colonel Ludlow, of the United States
engineers, will at once commence opera
lions in building extensive and formidable
earthworks and otherwise strengthening
Savannah. The working plans are looked
ployed will at once be dispatched to Fort
Pulaski. Barracks for the Guartering of
100 laborers are to he first erected beside
the fort, when the work of throwing up ex-
tensive earthwOrks near the fort viii be at
once commenced Guns of fifteen inch cali
bre are to be mounted. The work aside
from the equipments is to cost S26, 900, and
it is surmised that in view of the present
aspect with Spain, the work of further
Strengthening Fort Pulaski in addition to
the earth batteries, will be continued by
the government, Transforming it into one
of the strongest forts on the Atlantic coast.

From the Raplde5 Gazette.
"The King of France with forty thousand men,

Our last advices from New Orleans. at
the time of writing this article, represent
the Carter wing Of the Legislature as being
entirely broken up anu returning to the
side which sustained Governor Warmoth
Carter himself being under bonds on a
charge of being accessory to the murder of
Mr.. Wheyland, a member of the House.
The Senate was still without quorum, the
members, if they had got cut of the Will

and bewildered in fog of doubt and I'M
certainty. We not think it required much
p0iltical acumen to have predicted the end
OF this most ridiculous and senseless i'm
brogilo, for, besides the prestige which the
possession of the State Hause and offices
gave the Warmothites, it needed only to
notice the men who stood bv the Governor,
and those who did not stand BY the
Speaker. Straws show which way the wind

The Philadelphia people do not seem to
admire the Slawson box cars, where each
passenger puts his own fare in the box
The Philadelphia Sunday Times says:
These ''cOntraptions' are very unpopular
with people who ride in the hOrse-cars, and
many refuse to ride when they see a car
with a Slawson box approaching Not long
since a well-known merchant of this city
was in one of these denominations, and rose
to put his fare in the box, having taken q
seat on his entrance. AS soon as he stepped
to the rear of the car a rough-ooking fellow
popped into his seat. and or the merchant
claiming it again, the fellow rudely told
him he had as good right to it as ''any
other man." and refused TO vacate. so the
merchant stood up, not wishing to have a
quarrel about it, In a few moments the
fellow who had taken the merchants seat
got up to put his fare in the box, when III
stantiy third man popped into the vacant
seat and, on the burly fellow claiming it
again, there was a war of words, which
threatened to end in row, till one of the
other passengers rose and gave the quar-
relsOme fellow a seat These squabbles are
of daily occurrence, and render a ride in
these cars very unpleasant, so much 80 as
to cause many people to shUn them.

Noticing the rumor that the President
has resolved to purge the customhouses, the
Nation pleasantly says:
When we say all the leading custom
houses, we include New Orleans. The best
friends OF the administration will admit
now that the performances of Collector
Casey are an unsavory spectacle, and they
are rendered all the more unsayory by his
relationship to the President. The Times
says Casey "has taken the customhouse out
of politics" This may be, but the result is
so queer that it is plain that the next thing
to do is to take him out of the customhouse,
