lowing point:-When Andrew John
son was impeached for mere political
differences between himself and a
Imajority of the leaders of the Re
publican party, the most hitter and
determined of all his prosecutors
was Benjamin F. Butler, then a Rep
resentative in Congress from Massa-
k~chusetts. Mr.. johnson met his ac-
|cusers face to face, boldly like a man,
stood up to his trial, and was acquit-
ted; and he has since carried with
himsto his grave the sincere respect
|cf the nation.
General Butler was blessed with
a beautiful daughter, the object
of universal admiration. She mar
ried Adelbert Ames, a military man,
with a euphonious and a~lliterative
name. But hat name, pretty as it
is, does not look well at the end of a
document to which it has recently
been signed. The document is a
letter of resignation of the office of
Governor of Mississippi, addressed
to the people of that State. 1t was
written bytMr. Ames, after impeach-
ment, to avoid the danger of convic-
ton. 1t is a most humiliat;ng State
paper for a Governor to sign. So
the poisoned chalice, intended for
johnson, returns to the Butler fami-
ly, to be drained toits dregs."

The Woodruff Lecture.

The advent OF the notorious Mrs.
Woodruff in New Orleans created con-
siderable interest, and q large number
OF persons assembled ut st. Patrick's
Hall Sunday night, to listen to the dis
cussion of her peculiar doctrines. We
must concede that Mrs. Woodruff Is an
attractive speaker; indeed, we venture
to say that, as a stump orator, she can
eclipse most Of the political orators or
the time. Of the substance OF her
lecture, we cannot say much IN commen-
dation. All in 1t that was true. tangible
and practicable, has been before given to
the world by stronger, ADLER and truer
thinkers than herself, and has long
been familiar to all the reading classes
while all in her remarks that was origi-
nal or new, was visionary and impracti-
cable. Her recital of evils which
afflict the human race was strong
and eloquent, and, we must
say, tolerably unequivocal and plain.
But the evils she speaks OF are
well known and have been the subject
of deep and earnest thought on the part
of wise and good men, who have sought
to devise remedies for them. Many
schemes to decrease these evils have
been put in operation; but the evils
have continued to grow with the vigor
and rankness Of their nature.
If Mrs. Woodruff had offered any
intelligent and practical plan for the
abatement of prostitution, idiocy. phys
ical disease, brutality and crime, which
are filling the civilized world with sc
much misery, she might be justified In
intruding the broad discussion of exceed.
ingly delicate subjects into the popular
lecture room. But her vague and fan
ciful theory OF correcting these terrible
evils through processes OF higher in
tellectual development are not only
incomprehensible to the average
mind, but are unsound and utterly i'm
practicable. The lady, during her tour
in the South, has been treated with
courtesy, and we trust she will be sc
treated to the. end. But we con
fess to no liking for her views, OF
for her occupation, and we hope
that the seeds Of false ideas
of womanhood she is scattering
broadcast, will find an unfavorable sol
in the South. We concede to her in
tcgrity of purpose, much ,vigor OF in
tellect, and considerable power as D lee
turer and writer. But she Is no prophet
she is charged with no divine mission K
mankind, and we believe that no goot
| can flow from her self-imposed mission
of educating Southern women out Q
that modesty Of innocence, which, to al
men, is the browning beauty, the rea
loneliness Of the female Sex.

HOW1KD'S LOTTERY.

There has been q great inieuty
For years in our State
'Tis known as Towards Lottery,
And has ruined some OF late.
Young men have been defaulters,
Their story Is the srmc:
They say to all tits not their fault,
But Towards little game.
3 The working men and women
Hoard up their hard earned mite
To play against good policy.
Cause Howard thinks 1t right.
There's 4. IL. a.
Tho washerwomen's gig;
3 Upon the unsuspecting poor
'Tis nothing but a rig. fs
To rob them of their honest gains,
This point Is plainly seen,
And when they find their ticket blank,
They think what might have been.
Theft. murder. arson. suicide
Has followed In Its track.
'Tis what this wheel Of fortune ~ grind
And breaks the poor mans back.
Thank God the Legislature
One good act has revealed.
And policy monopoly
Has been at last repealed.
SO no more gigs and saddles
To ride willing horse to death:
Now pray that Towards Lottery
Has drawn its last foul breath:
III it does not pass. upon the State
Twill be deep-dyed slur:
So We hope the Senate in this act
Will heartily concur.

Alabama Democrats are not the only
enemies that beset that immaculate
champion of the Administration, Sena-
tor Spencer. A deputation Of Alabama
Republicans, headed by an Ex-Governor
and an ex-member of Congress, waited
on President Grant a few days ago to re-
monstrate against the Federal patron
age in that State being all placed in the
control of one man and that man Spen-
Ger. They declared that many OF the
Federal officials in Alabama are in
competent, unfit and corrupt, and their
continuance in Office would bring dis
grace upon the party" 1t strikes us
this is very plain language to use to a
President, face to face, about his APP
pointees; but it is probably as true as it
lie ctrppu

Sunday Mornings Press.

The Bee alludes to the message OF the
de facto Of last Saturday, recommend
ing the immediate passage of certain
measures, among others that Of the pre-
MUM bond plan It considers fatal the
objections to the bill reported by the
Senate Judiciary Committee, and hopes
that the bill will not pass; not that it
objects to the system itself, but merely
because this bill embraces all classes Of
debts, compelling the city to pay
twenty-three millions when more than
half that amount is based upon Illegal
and fraudulent claims.
The Republican gives long lesson to
"our colored legislators" in the interest
Of their race, which it claims mas a ma
jority of over ten thousand votes in the
State It points out to them the danger
Of that majority being overcome by the
adoption here Of the qualification OF ed
ucated suffrage, as it exists in Massa-
way Of avoiding this is to Immediately
cut down all salaries and perquisites to
the lowest living rate, and thus remove
the golden prizes for which the Demo
cratic politicians scramble at all cleo
tons. The colored citizens can live
without office; a large and dangerous
class Of their professional opponents
cannot, and the only salvation Of the
colored people is, by starving out this
class, to avoid being left to struggle for
themselves by the leading white Repub-
licans, who, driven from political posi-
ton, would have no choice but to leave
the State.
The Picay,lne considers it now settled
fact that neither Pinchback nor Mr..
Eustis will be admitted to seat in the
Senate, and states that this action Of
the Senate leads to the logical inference
that that body does not admit the exist
ence of any legitimate government in
Louisiana. It thinks the Senate does
not treat us fairly by thus lodging the
question, as Pinchback's rejection
admits the illegality Of the government
prior to the compromise, and the refusal
to seat Mr.. Eustis ignores that compact,
the binding force Of which it insists that
we must respect.
The Bulletin complains that nearly
the whole session of the Legislature has
elapsed. without the passage of those
reform measures which the people de-
manded, and fears that little will be
done during the remainder of the ses-
sion From its Interpretation of popular
opinion the public are greatly disap-
pointed at the failure of the House to
pass certain bills, even though the COM
plant were we'll founded that the
Radical Senate was hostile to reform,
and suggests the advis ability of getting
up grand reform revival.
The Times sees nothing singular in
our failure to obtain relief at the hands
Of the Northern Democracy. 1t holds
that the party manager is forced to fol-
low that line Of conduct which will gain
the most available points, and thinks it
quite natural that the party should take
no steps to regain Louisiana, if this can
not be done without giving to our oppo-
nents the electoral vote of other and
larger States.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat, the
editor Of which has been convicted as a
leading member OF the whisky ring and
will soon take up lodgings in the
Missouri Penitentiary, thinks Mr.. Bris-
tow should retire from the Cabinet. One
of the reasons which the G. d. thinks
should influence the whiskyring smasher
to take this course is that "the President
has lost something Of the confidence
and personal regard which he has enter
tanned for Bristow." 1t is singular
fact that as rapidly as public official
gains the esteem and trust Of the people
he chooses the confidence of the President.
