THAT SPEECH.

The inopportune and unnecessary reap
perance Of Mr.. Jefferson Davis As an orator
before the Southern Historical Society was
quite as annoying to the people of the South
as it was incomprehensible to me. Mr.. Davis
is not greatly beloved even by the unrecon-
structed portion of his former supporters,
and they were simply Disguised to see him
emerge from obscurity for the purpose of
informing them that If such and sucn things
had happened, the South might have tri-
umphed in the war and secured her indie
pendence. The Charleston NeUs and Cou-
s'ier, which has been wont to speak of Mr..
Davis with kindness, and even affection, was
forced by the White Sulphur Springs cpl
sode to declare plainly that the best service
the president of the late c. s. A. could rem
Der the people was to hold his tongue.

RATHER AB ORBISG.

Perhaps it is not generally known, but
nevertheless it i- the truth, that Col. Houston
owns the Democratic evening paper known
az the Argus, and publishes it in the Com
saercial Office. The Argus was indebted to
him, in the sum Of 1000, and Houston
took the paper in payment of that debt, and
expects to sell it to the Democracy when he
gets it firmly established a Democratic
organ, end thus come out Of the venture
without pecuniary loss. Colonel, the news
paper business il rather absorbing, isn't it?

said at once. If it was right for the next
Congress to have it raised, it IL right for this
congress. We had been there and done our
duty. We had had an extra session, and IL
1t was right to raise the pay for the next Con-
esess, IT was right, We thought, to raise il for
that. looked into the preceaents and
found pay had beed raised six times. and
every time it had been raised going hack to
the beginning of the session Of the Congress

will of the people, for in 179S Congress sub
mifted an amendment of the Constitution to
the people to vote upon, provided that no
increase Of psy of Senator or Representative
should take effect until after an election had
been held, go as to let the people pen upon
it. That amendment was voted down by
the people. General Butler then went on to
quote mass of records showing that in Mas-
sachusetts for the last twenty yean every
Legislature had raised its pay, and evesy
man had heretofore taken il. Some there

form, added the name of John D. Baldwin,
whom he had strangely forgotten-who
was now horribly indignant over the hack
salary steal, although he takes money when
he can get it. The General here produced
a round Of hearty applause BY dexterous
hit at the Worcester Spy. whose editor, he
said, had refused to insert q letter of his

ceipt for $50 paid for its insertion, signed

TOW scorT's rAC1fiC RAILROAD.

TOM SCOTT'S PACgflC RAILROAD.
The San Francisco Bulletin thinks the
Eastern railroad combination is further evil
dence that the objective point of Tom SCOTS
Pacific Railroad is San Francisco. 1t says:
"When the European and North American
Railroad between Boston and Halifax was
opened last year it was foreseen that it would
he an important line, as shortening the sea-
voyage to Europe forty eight hours, more or
less. The Pennsylvania Central, it now ap-
pears, have obtained control of the road, and
intend that il shall form part their system
from ocean to ocean. The distance from
San Francisco via ST. Louis to Boston and
Halifax is about the same as via Chicago,
with the advantage in favor of the former
route, that it lies south of the snow belt,
with favorable grades, and will be under one
management. The arrangement, when
completed, will bring San Francisco within
twelve or fourteen days of Liverpool.

ENGINERY.

The Pennsylvania Railroad has upon its
own State liner, 5i4 engines; upon the Jer-
sey leases, $50; and, calculating at this
basis, upon its Western leases, 700. Proba-
bly, it may be just to estimate the entire
steam squadron at l, 400 locomotives, or a
locomotive to every twenty men in the reg
ular army OF the United States. The loco
motives of this corporation alone could trans
port our whole regular army without any
cars to assist them.

THE HOMES OP OBER-AMMERGAu By EIIn GRnsroEEr
lto pp A. Munich. New-YOrE George p Pu'n'm's Sons
The crowd of American tourists who were
detained at Munich in the Summer Of 1870 while their
way to witness representation of the Passionpay at
ober-Ammergau, which suddenly broken off by the
commencement Of hOstilues between Germany and
France will find recompense for their disappoint-
1nent IN this delightful volume. The author disfin-
guished artist In this city, made pilgrimage to Ober-
A,npergau in the Summer following the war, when the
PsssioIplay repeated under circumstances OF pec
liar interest the chief performers having returned from
the perils OF the field 10 their sylvan homes, ex-
changing the rude strife Of the camp for the peaceful
vocation OF carving in wood which has been for many
generations the chief occupation Of the peasantscup
tors. She was charmed with the manners OF these
primitive people, and the COOL sequestered retirement
of their forest life that she prolonged her stay among
them for several months and has now recorded her
many pleasant remembrances in this journal OF her ex-
perience The descriptions Illustrated by series OF
etchings from pen-andnk drawings by her own hand in
which she has most fectousy seized the character OF
the wild mountain scenery in the midst OF which are
nestled the homes of OberAmmergau. and reproduced
il not only with fidelity but with expression OF
living nature in the picturesque valleys OF the BaYaan
Tyrol. The landscape Of that part Of Germany has
seldom been sketched with much afectionate sym
pathy. The artist was inspired with loving admiration
the simple with whom she pitched her tent for the
Summer looked through their eyes upon the impress
i've romantic scenes among which they dwell Her book
win commend itself equally 10 the amateur OF art and
the lover Of nature 1t win be found 10 be unique pro
ducton in English literature But although leaving the
beaten track and revealing fresh aspects Of life and its
surroundings there is nothing affected or cratic In IFS
composition. The author it is true is not ashamed Of
the confessions Of strong feeling but her enthusiasm is
never at the sacrifice OF tone Of mind quick
witted perceptions Of fact.
