WHAT A RIOT COST.

Many artisans are students and
thinkers, and can apprehend how a
blow at capital is a blow at labor, bat
the idiots of the commune, the dema-
gogucs, and the mob will fail to see the
pointedness Of this illustration of the
cost of tumults to the labOring class !:
"Fourteen years ago there was Il great
riot in New York. 1t will long be re-
mcmbered for scenes of brutally, but
the destruction Of property was far less
than at Pittsburgh the other day. Yet
for that riot the Taxpayers of New
York were held liable to the amount
ofnearly 81, ,OOO, 900. Bonds were issued
to meet the charge. On those bonds we
have already paid more than million
and half Of interest. This year we
have to pay the first installment Of the
principal, amounting to half a million.
The annual interest thus far has been
nearly $112,OOO. Every penny of these
large sums has come out Of the pockets
of the laboring men of the Metropolis.
Every penny of the much larger sums
payable on account of Pittsburgh, Bal
timorc, Reading, Hornelsvillc and
other scenes of the present disturbance,
must likewise come out of the pockets
Of the working classes. 1t is idle to
imagine that in this age of the world
any burden can be laid upon Capital
which Labor will not be finally forced
tn bear''

JOHN CHiNAMAN'S CONCLUSION.

John Chinanan at his washtub stood,
And cheerily rubbed and secured
Tho wages he got We're small enough,
But never his soul was soured.
He did not cOvet a mansion proud.
i His tastes were simple and few,
He washed away with u lightsome heart,
= And sang as the soap suds flew.
Soon! the Mclean man he came that way,
And it grieved him sore to see
A heathen with plenty of work to do,
And doing it nerrily.
For the Melican man was on strike,
And his soul was full of gall
So he rallied some other Mclean men
And gave the heathen a call.
They kicked John Chinaman into the
street,
And round the premises tore,
Till his tubs and other utensils lay
A wreck on the laundry floor.
Then the heather he gathered his savings
acant, ....
And sailed for his own eountree,
''No Mclean man for me-" he sighed,
HE rely muchee too Free

GOV. HENDRICKS ABROAD.

(From the Louisville Sunday Journal.
Mr.. Litzenburg has received two let
ters from his aunt, Mrs. Hendricks, and
Mr., Hendricks has written to Mr..
Morgan and Mr.. Henderson. These
letters are not long, being written 10 a
large hand on very small sheets OF
paper, but they express a lively sense
OF enjoyment. The party landed at
Queenstown, and journeyed thence
through Ireland aud Scotland to Eng
land. In the former place they visited
Cork, Biarney Castle, the Lakes of Xii
iarney, Dublin, and Belfast. Ireland
is described as wonderfully beautiful"
and Mr.. Hendricks is not surprised
that her children in A merica look back
to their country with such tender loug-
ings. He dweIls with delight upon
the time spent in the University of
Dublin ,and expresses much disappoint-
,nent at not finding the Gienns, former

dence was undergoing repairs. From

THE SUPREME COURT.

The members of the bar who have
been in attendance on the recent term
Of the Supreme Court Of Louisiana
at Monroe, are loud in their cOmineu-
dations of the learning, dignity and
impartiality which characterised the
bearing of, the members of the new
court. The Radical court was accus.
toned to arrive, take their seats on the
bench, inform the bar that they could
not possibly allow themselves to be
made target for its elOquence more
that fifteen minutes at Il time, decide
all the cases in II bunch, treat motions
for rehearings with profound contempt,
and incontinently leave the town. The
consequence was that they hit the prop
er decisions about as often rs lightning
strikes where it has struck before and
not near so often AS Judge BridlegoOse,
of Rabelais, who decided his cases by
throwing dice, the right hand for the
plaintiff, the left for the defendant.
Tho difference, however, is, that some
people are malicious enough to insinu-
ate that the Radical judicial dice was
sometimes so clumsily lOuded that
scarce an attempt was made at it's cont
cealment. On the contrary, the new
court is dignified and comma nding il'
appearance, treats the bar with the
SE0atNSSb leSpcCG ANA ClNAANJt AsotsAo
arguments patiently, Investigates cases
industriously, and renders Judgments
marked with great ability, learning
and impartiality. We have just seen
the first phamphlet number Of the 10Th
volume of the Annual Reports, reported
by Mr.. Percy Roberts, containing the
earliest decisions of the new court at
the recent session in New Orleans. II
is refreshing to read the opinions of the
new judges marked with SO much learn
ing, and done up in language, elegant,
nay even sometimes gorgeous, after
having to travel over the arid wastes OF
stupidity, ignorance and corruption
which blot every page Of the reports for
the past twelve years. Along with
the first number comes the first num-
ber Of the 2Sth volume. We have
already said that it would be swim
die to make the State pay tor the publi-
action of any more opinions Of the late
Radical court. Why publish them
With the collapse Of Radicalism in
Louisiana we had also done with Rad
ical Jurisprudence for ever.-Snreve-

An extra session of Congress is

taries Sherman and McCrary, and
Attorney General Devens are agreed
that the government cannot legally
support the army after June 3Oth in
the absence of the regular appropri-
alton. The President, Vice Presi-
dent Wheeler and many members of
both Houses and both parties are of
different opinion, but it is not be-
lieved that the President will take
the responsibility of running so
great a risk against the advice of
these members of his Cabinet, who
haYe intimate relations with the

ON THE wING-BYH HANK.


Eds. Tel.-Bidding adieu to ''the old
log cabin in the lane" at Stony Greek, Va.
started south on the Weldon road, reach
ing Wilmington, N. c., the same evening
"a distance of over 200 miles. After get
ting into the Carolinas, milder climate
still. was perceptible; as an evidence, the
peach, plum and cherry trees were in
bloom, presenting a cheerful scene, as the
train dashed through the little villages
and farms along the route. Goldsboro'
was the only town of note reached in all
that days travel to Wilmington, and near
ly the same general appearance of the
scenery along the route, to-wit-pine trees,
poor soil, ditto inhabitants, Congo and
wife tilling the soil with one little donkey.
As nesred Wilmington, rosin factories
we're more plenty, and nearly all the large
pine trees are peeled, to get the turpentine.
A notch which holds about quart, is cut
at the base If the tree, to catch the drips
as it runs down; these notches are cleaned
out about three times year. Nothing
very much can be said of this last men

from the ocean, and would make pleas

fish than was displayed in the market, on
morning left. Shad, trout, mullet and
black sea bass in abundance, are caught
down the Cape Fear river, near the ocean.
The poor white trash come in with their
little yawl full of truck-some would have
dead calf and sweet potatoes, and others
with dressed pig and few pals of oys-
ters-and by the way, some of the finest
oysters in the world are raked out of this
river, near the ocean.
The next morning l took passage on the
Wilmington, Columbia & Augusta road to
Florence, S. c., at which place changed
cars for Charleston, arriving there about
10 p. m. For poverty stricken, shiftless

whole length of this days journey. From
Wilmington to Florence, happened to be
seated with the superintendent Of the road
and contrary to the general rule, ! found

their thanks for the appointment of

District. Mr.. Purvis, chairman, in
a brief address, explained the object
of the visit and said the appoint
ment was gratifying to the eolored
people because by it the President
not only recognized their claims,
but struck a blow at the prejudice
of caste, and they wished him sue
cess in his policy of reconciliation.
