Evidently, from the many expires,
sions we have heard from those pres
ent at the Holman meeting at Phillips
Hall, Friday night last, disappoint-
ment, as to his being "strong man,
intellectually. was the result Of his
speech. 1t had been given out that
he was very giant in the political
feld-a perfect Hercules. This may
be SO, in the eyes Of extremely partial
friends, but we must confess that, in
his case, distance lent enchantmcnt''
that a nearer view dissipated. He
was great man." for Dear. born
one, and fifty miles away; but in Phil
lips Hall, the greatness dwindled into
INTERCHANGEABLE one Of Shaks-
peare's characters, greatness had
been thrust upon him., and it fitted
like shirt on bean-pole! We do
not wish to detract anything from Mr..
Holman, that justly belongs to him,
as a very clever gentleman, courteous
and affable-full Of solicitnde for the
welfare of all his new and old constit-
uents, especially for deep regard for
their physical health; for ia these re-
spects he fully understands and prac-
tees all the arts of the finished dema-
gogue--no one understands the mere
politicians trade better than does
Judge Holman-he served a regular
apprenticeship to it, and don know
anything else But when he claims
to be, par excellence, THE special
champion of the soldiers War
Democrat" we beg leave to point to
his record that he made side by. side
with that of the celebrated and motor
ious Valandigham, when these two
Democratic brothers voted on every
occasion to cripple the action of Con-
gress, and did everything in their pow
er to defeat vital measures then
brought forward to crush out the
Democratic Shareholder rebellion.
At the same time he was voting with
his party that 1.-THE war was failure
he was looking ahead for his own
political preferment, and paving his
way with the soldiers, by introducing
resolutions increasing their pay-giv-
ing them bounties-providing for edu-
cation of soldiers orphans, and secur-
ing claims for bounties. Like the
fellow who prayed good Lord-good
Devil"-he didn't know whose hands
he'd fall into. If the war proved a
failure, he could point the rebels to
his endeavors to make it SO; and if a
success, he d fall back on the soldiers,
and point them to his efforts in their
behalf, and ask them to give him their
votes to send him to Congress!
We believe Mr.. Holman has been
in Congress, about sixteen or seven
teen years, and he makes the declara
ton that corruption and extravaganza
has been on the increase from session
to session ever since he has been
there! If this is so, why should he
be sent back to Congress, where he
acknowledges he has had SO little in
1uence for 80 many years. He SAYS
he's for ECONOMY and retrenchmeut'
has tried to introduce them and
failed. for q period Of sixteen years.

A combination Of miseries such as arc
depicted in the sensational drama or nov.
ell, actually fell to the lot Of woman in
Tennessee, a few days ago. Her name
was Mrs. Bennett Kyle, and she resided
in Wayne county. She left her house
in the morning to do the family washing
BY the side Of stream not far off, tax
ing her infant with her. A cry from her
child brought her to its side, when she
found a rattlesnake was wreathed around
its form. Killing tie snake she hurried
home with the child in her arms, but il
died before she reached there. She then
saw that an older child had fallen into a
barrel Of water and was drowned.
Screaming in agony, she startled her
husband who was at work on the roof of
a building a little way of. In conse-
quence Of his fright he made false step
and fell to the ground and broke his
neck. Ladies who have their laundry
work done for them, but who have to
foreso the pleasure of trip to Saratoga
this Summer, or are denied the posses
sion of Glove Of bonnet" should dry
their tears on reading the sorrows of
their humble sister in the South.
