The address of the Democratic

The address of the Democratic Con-
gressmen to their constituents In the
South receives warm commentator
from the press of that section. The
Mobile Register says of it: "The
truth is that the country is trying to be
mt peace and to bury the asperities of
deplorable war nearly decade after its
CLOSE. But the Radical party sees its
own end in the peace that all the inter-
ssts of the land and the hearts of the
people yearn for, and the question be-
fore the country is. Shall it have peace
and prosperity restored, or shall the
Radica! party continue to live and gov
ern the country like so many stormy
petrels. who rejoice and prosper only
when the elements of discord are let
loose upon society? The address is
timely, and will not be lost upon the
people to whom it is sent.

The San Francisco Bulletin says
that in the Winter the best cattle for
beef are brought from the State of
Nevada. 1t says long trains of cattle
from this State are unloaded on the
railroad wharf several times week
and that these cattle are invariably in
good condition. Nevada cattle upon
arriving at San Francisco are generally
turned out in the fields for a short
time to recuperate before being con-
verted into beef.

Ben BUTLER predicts war. He thinks
the next Presidential election will end
in bloodshed--that a contest over the
counting of the electoral vote is newt
able. 1t is some consolation to know
that Ben is possibly mistaken; in fact
the vote he received for Congress last
November shows that if he was much
of prophet he would not have been a
candidate.

A CoUNTRYMAN bought shirt in
Raleigh, N. G., which was the first
white one he had ever owned. The
next Sunday he was to be married, and
that was the important occasion that
had excited him to the purchase. The
shirt had nice starched bosom, and
was open in the back-a style that was
new to the possessor. After careful
study he put it on with the opening in
front, concluding that the stiff bosom
was intended as kind of shoulder
brace to make him stand erect. Thus
dressed, he met the bride at the church
door; but her knowledge was greater
than his about shirts, and she made
him go home and reverse the garment
before she would allow the ceremony
to proceed.

How a Threatening Legislature was
Treated by Gov. Bradley.

fCarson Corr. to San Francisco Bulletin.I
During the session of 1871, (the first
of Governor Bradley's administrator
the Legislature experienced paroxysm
of financial rage, on account OF the
Governors veto of the bill to create a
legislative fund. This bill was an
ubiquitous measure. which diverted
not only the coin in the Treasury, bnt
the anticipated revenues of the State.
to the exclusion of any appropriation
for the payment of the accrued interest
on the State debt. The end of the SEES
sion was approaching, and the threat
was freely iitlulged in, as measure
of retaliation. that the general anpro-
printion bill wonld be defeated, and an
extra session thereby made necessary.
1t came to the ears of Governor
Bradley. Taking his trusty hickory
stick, fit for the mainmast of ten-ton
sloop, he started for the Treasurer
office. There stood Schooling behind
the counter, bland and smiling as n
May morning. Jerry" said the old
chief. how much money does 1t take
to run this State two years?' About
$500, 900, Governor" Then d--n
'em, let 'em adjourn" said Bradley.
q can raise that much money and run
her myself. Good morning, Jerry,

Mrs HARDY, a Boston spiritual me-
dunn, seems likely to excite as mnch
interest as did the Katie King fraud
or the Eddy exhibitions. Her per-
Torrance is exceedingly clever, and
the trckery has not been discovered.
A large shawl is spread ont on the
floor, and tackled down around the
edge. Upon it a common table,
without drawers, is placed. Cloth is
tackled around the table and to the
floor, thus forming an enclosure under
the table in manner that seemingly
preclndes the possibility of anybody
getting into it. Upon the table stands
a wooden box, open at one side, and
lined with black. A circle is formed,
the gas is turned low, some hymns are
sung, and then hands of varions
shapes and sizes are protruded from
the open side of the box. They allow
themselves to be touched, but are at
once withdrawn if any attempt is
made to grasp them. Every night
Mrs. Hardy has a seance, attended by
thirty or forty persons. and admission
costs one dollar. She is described as
an uneducated and vulgar but shrewd
woman.

That public opinion IN the
North has changed materially
since 1867, is evident from the iol-
lowing extract from the New York
Times, the leading organ Of the
party that impeached y presidsnt
IN that troubled year: ..
"Yesterday crowds of persons
flocksd to the capitol at Washing
ton for the purpose OF catching q
glimpse OF Andrew johnson.
When he came forward in the SEN
ate to take the oath he was greeted
with cheers. His desk was cover
ed with bouquets, and numbers OF
senators and'lesser parsonage flock

hand. What has bro ught about this

Mr.. Seward and a few Others were

Ne denunciation was deemed 10 be
severe enough for him. Public
opinion is sometimes tickle, but
this is no mere sign of fckleness.
DO not the people begin TO suspect
that, after all, the much abused

TIE civil rights bill which is now
in full force, only acquires tiMe for
IT TO become nulIity. Every state
is guaranteed the right of framing
ils organic laws and of regulating
the obligations Of all proprietors OF
public houses, railroads, steamboats,
DC, hence we say that il is only u
mattcr OF timo fer the civil rights
bill to become obsolete and void,
so far as regards the practical
troubles intended rs the results Of
that measure. Tennessee already
has a bill in the House OF Represen-
iatives which, il adopted, will rem
edy ihe evils Of the civil rights bill
with all its restraints upon the dis
cretiop Of prcpristors of hotels,
public conveyanoes, or places of
amusement and give them the righ,
TO rcjec, all obnoxious persons, re-
gardless OF race. color, or previous
condition. The injustice OF the
civil rights bill is thus ioreibly ex-
posed by the CiLcinatu Enquirer:
while declaring that there shall
hn Of "a a
color or previous condition Of SER
yltude,' it makes by Its very terms
nm important one. If two blacks
have difficulty, or two whites, OF
personal character, the matter is
to be determined by the local and
state tribunals. But II it is be-
sween q white and black, the latter
can bring the case into the United
States. courts, Of which there are
but one or two in the State, and
thus put his adversary at Il great
expense, even If he Is in9ocent OF
the otfense imputed under the law.
Then, again, il an obnoxious white
man, while obtaining admittance to
public table at - hotel, was re-
jec,ed wi,h.a kick ho might not
obtain more than five dollars dam
ages. But an obnoxious negro
may obtain five hundred dol
lars, and az the samo time have the
other party imprisoned Tor n year.
These distinctions of race and col
or the white people will not sus-
tain in faver of the black, and they
will vote down the party which
has 80 little sense as to adopt 1t.
