Rebel Hopes and SONGS.

Although taking the name of Matilda
Heron's little daughter, "Biiou," the Wash
ington correspondent of the New Orleans
Democrat is certainly NO lady. We are
confident of that from the language he
uses. In his last letter he copies and sends
the following song, as illustrating the
second flow Of the Confederate tide. The
Johnnies appear to have reached Washing
ton this time without much difficulty, and
are correspondirgly happy. The burden of
the poem is to the effect that the Yankees
have been crushed, and that the graybacks
are bossing the country. Like all Demo
cratic measures, the measure Of the verse
is very bad, but the song tells its story. 1t

Anecdotal.

In the Methodist Conference, yesterday,
Rev. Scott Chimp, born and raised a slave
in Kentucky, was called on to make few
remarks. After the old man, whose head
is as white as snow, warmed up in his
speech, he narrated two anecdotes which
are worthy of place anywhere. He said
that when the federal army arrived in New
Orleans, during the war, he was in bond
age, slave, and q minister of the gospel.
His duties called him out at all hours of
day aud night, to make service for the
dead and to marry people of his own race.
Occasionally, he was interrupted on the
streets, and finally concluded to call on
General Butler for protection papers.
There was little trouble in finding the
commanding officer, and when he faced
that important Official he stated his
business in humble manner. The
coveted paper was furnished, and it
proclaimed that Scott Chinn was a
free man, to 60 and come as he pleased, and
no one had right to say him nay. At first
the old man could not comprehend the situ-
alton, but finally began to understand that
there had been change in his condition.
He took the paper furnished him, on which
the Colonel had placed the United States
SEAL" and hurried home to tell his aged wife
that he could 60 and come as he pleased and
was no longer slave. He was SO full of
happiness that his weak old legs refused to
get into car, for they travelled faster than
q locomotive. He clutched the paper ex.
citedly, and concluded that he was dream
ing strange dream. He pinched himself
and found that he was wide awake, and
thereupon poured forth fervant prayer of
thanksgiving for his deliverance from a
thraldom which had held him from infancy
The old man also related how, when the
war of rebellion broke out, white preachers
from their puIpits told how they would
wade knee-deep in Yankee blood before the
invaders should gain q foothold in Louisi-
ana. When the federal army arrived, those
ministers, instead of wsding in blood, waded
knee-deep in mud to reach the jackson
railroad depot.
In his devotion to Methodiam he wished
to make an illustration to show that his
church had but one service, and that one
open for all mankind to enter when they
found themselves fitted for the duties. His
illustration was given in a homely style,
but before he closed ne was almost grand.
His old mistress fell very sick, and it was
supposed died, but eventually came round
and recovered. Her cook having learned
that the madam HAD died. gone 10 heaven
and returned, visited her to inquire if she
had seen her daughter Jenny in the other
world. The madam replied that she had
not seen Jenny, not having gone into the
kitchen while in heaven. The old man said
that that was not like the Methodist Church
here, for it had only ono department, one
always ready to receive the humblest. The
application was readily understood by all
present, and Scott Chinn took his seat, his
ewes moist with tears that welled up from
his heart.

Extract from Letter OF J. B. SsaIIO
% Onto.

From tho Cincinna (Ohio) Commercially
Gen lm,g have come to say that
/ hope tbs Fall 20 assist, by my vote
at least, \ clccting Samuel j. Tildeu
as President of The United States, and
in enforcing the doctrines of his plat
form as | understand them. l shall
find occasion, no doubt, at some time
during the canvass, TO state at length
the reasons for my support Of Cover
nor Tilden upon the platform, the adop-
ton of which preceded his nomination
at St. Louis. Tonight, when ! am
merely an intruder among the speakers
whose counsel you naturally value more
than mine, | must content myself with
very few simple suggestions.
Mr.. Tilden has been nominated as
the representative of reform. l am
sure am not behind any one in recog-
nizing the necessity of reform, and l
believe that Governor Tilden truly and
worthily represents it. l believe this,
not by reason of anything that he has
said, or that has been said for him,
but by reason of what he has done and
is doing now. But the reform of our
public life is task to which the power
of any one man is unequal. If we are
to have reform it must come, not from
one single individual, nor from one
party, but from our whole people, or
at least from the whole body of voters.
And one of the first conditions of that
reform, is that each vote which is cast
at Presidential or other election, as
nearly as may be, effectually repre-
sents an honest conviction and an un-
disguised, definite purpose. The worst
calamity of our political life for many
years has been, not that our Cove
ment has fallen il to the hands oil
knaves and corruptionists, of thieves
who have plundered the Treasury, Of
vagabonds who have openly sold theil
influence or their votes for money OF
for an Office, of scamps who have bar
tered the rights, the liberties, and the
possessions of the people for their pIi
vate advantage; but our greatest m I.
fortune has been that the deslirias o
the republic for more than decade
have been controlled by astute sche N
es who have SO ar:an geo parties and
their platforms as to Illustrate you
