nwers well that this work has been done
BY q Republican, else the story would not
have been believed, but would have bean
slasssd in the category Of "rsbsl lies" 10
completely had the pablie mind Of the
North been poisoned By the passions which
the war engendsrsd, and 30 bitter was its
hatred Of the Southern people, that It was
simply impossible for thea to perceive and
aispassionstsly to apprehsnd the tzrpituds
of the crimes committed by the rulers
whom the Republican party, BY the aid of
the military power Of the United States,
established over those PROSTATE States.
Honest, to large sxtsnt, themselves. they
could not realize the corrupt character of
the hordes Of camp followers and scslawsgs
whom the tempest of war brought to the
surface, who rapidly developed into Gsv-
srnors, Judges, etc., etc.
Not until Horace Greeley, who had 80
long led Radical opision in the North, went
South, and, bsing sn eye witness Of the
outrsgss that were committed in the name
OF Republication, upon his return, directed
the batteries Of his exhsustless armory of
investive against the villaniss of tbs leaders
of that party in the South, did the North
srn mind become receptive of truthful
Impressions In regard to affairs in these
States. Since theu there has been rapid
growth Of reciprocal hsalthful feeling,
despite the msshinstions of the wayers oi

Hence We find 30 radical . man a. Repre-
sentative Garfield, oIportunsly declaring

9hs sass Of Moses gives peculiar enphasi
TO the charge Of the eorrupting teDdenc.
and influences Of association with ths carps
bag leaders Of the Republican party whit
infected the Southern States Beon after th
war closed. He WAS 6 native Of sou.l
Carolina, ia which Stat. be was reared. !
Wild, IolIieking, dissipated blade be was
but never is the charge Of dishonesty pre-
ferred against him, unt1 he became th
intimate associate Of Scott, Chamberlain
Kimpton and other such sxotics. 1t
admitted that he proved an apt scholar
but who, familiar with the post belluI
history Of that unfortunate State, ca
doubt that he had most capable instruct
.ors'
But rascality was not confined TO ii
Republican leaders of South Gsrolin'
Wherever the carpet bag leeches got holt
their conduct and its results have been ii
same. Witness Balleck In Georgia; ResC
Osborn, Littlefeld, stearns, &s., &c.,
Florida; Spencer in Alabama; Wsrmou'
and Kellogg In Louisiana, and Amss
Mississippi. "Gan an evil tree bring for

How puerile, therefore, is the attem
to shield the Republican party from fu
aud complete responsibility for the 90
ruptions of their chosen leaders In t
South. who, almost without exception, ha
developed the same base characteristics.

A prominent preacher once said, the
emily time he ever felt like laughing in the
pulpit was when he saw . man in the gall
|lery- drop quid Of tobscco in the face ofa
sleeping man in pew on the ground floor
! Of the rharch. IA sonsshat similar case
lin which the Clergyman was the victim
has just occurred in Caroline county. Md,
The Rev. Mr.. Walton was engaged in
fervent prayer the other night at prayer
meetingin Shepherds Chapel when Z man
named Marvel entered in . somewhat
hilarious mood. Marvel looked upon the
praying preacher for q while and then
taking q quid of tobacco in his hand, he
waited until the clergymau's head was
Thrown back in earnest devotion, when
he let 'ly the moist weed, which struck
fair insthe face of the human mark. The
prayer suddenly closed and 4 scene ensued.
Marvel was arrested and taken before a
magistrate, who fined him five dollars and
costs. 81 'sn-E = a.,
And these remind us of the following
instance where the preacher broke down
lin the midst OF the services, convulsed
with laughter: --
The day was intensely cold. Ths con-
lgregation had assembled, and the services
we're begun. A man mufled in heavy coat
and scarf, entered, and walking harriedly
down the aisle seated himself in eonn
spicuous place. Directly before him sat =
man with frey red hair. The new conner
deliberately took off his gloves, and, with
an air Of perfect satisfaction and comfort
alternately held his hands near the red
head before him and rubbed them in the
manner which Hood has described, As,
i"washirg his hands with invisible soap, in
imperceptible wster.
The preacher Witnessed the whole per-
formance. and, having keen sense of the
ludicrous, he lost control of his risibility,
and to the CONSERVATION of his congrega-
tion, roared with laughter. ri

Miss Annie Pixley, who plays Aliss at
the Gaiety, is said 10 be "a native child Of
the sierras," Certainly it would be difficult
to find closer reproduction of Miss as
Mr.. Harte has pictured her. Rather too
large, surely, for a child of eleven. but
otherwise nothing could be more complete.
She is full of life, vigor-deviltry, We
might say; she shows the hatred for Others
that she declares, and equally shows the
almost unconscious affection for others who
are kind to her. The songs when she
sings, are we'll sung, but they are very
much out of place. She sings too well fos
the Sieran Mics, and the songs she sings
are not such az the Sierran Miss would be
likely to sing. But this is small matter.
Mr.. J. 3. McDonough's Yuba Bill is a
careful and consistent performance, with
nothing remarkably striking or original,
but hearty and pleasant. Mr.. E. Lambs
Judge Beeswinger is amusing, but he
makes the character more like Connects
cut Yankee than Western product; per-
haps Judge Beeswinger did come from
Connecticut. John Gray, played by Mr..
Nelson Decker, was satisfactory but not
a very strong presentation. Mr.. Thomas
Hind as Old Smith would have been very
good but for his sudden transition from
inebriety to sobriety in his earlier scenes
when he had opportunities for melo-dram-
ATTIC effect. Mr.. Robert Fulford as Juan
WaEers, the Mexican, Mr.. Charles Nc
Mauua as Templeton Fake, were COM
mendable; the other ladies and gentlemen
in the cast call for no special mention.
"Mliss," on the whole, is an interesting
play. 1t is well presented, well put on the
stage and is well worthy Of patronage. 1t
will be performed every evening this week
and on Wednesday and Saturday after
|noons,-Boston Advertiser.

1fessrs. Editors: As the Common Coun-
ell is to meet on Monday, it is to be hoped
that some member will prepare resolution
and secure vote on it to repeal or modify
the existing ordinance which authorizes
(illegally, pye no doubD the city to lay a
penalty OF thirty-one per cent. on tax
payers who, having been compelled to take
their small earnings to buy bread for their
families, were unable to pay their heavy
taxes for 1877. 1t is bad enough that we
should have our property-much OF which
is unproductive or owned by men now out
OF mployment-assessed at from % to 30
per cent. more than it would bring now or
at any time within three years past, but in
addition to have to pay this 81 per cent.
penalty is simply intolerable.
The fact is that our city authorities have
never yet come to the realization OF the fact
that the times are exceedingly hard. They
must lessen our burdens really, not noml.
nally, or the prosperity OF the city will
be seriously impaired. SENTINEL.

THE TELEPHONE IN JAPAN.-The Japan
Herald says that the telephone was no
sooner brought under the notice OF the
Japanese Government by the agent for
China and Japan of Bell's telephone than
experiments were ut once ordered by MIR.
Ito, the Minister OF Public Works. to be
made under the direction OF b1r. Gilbert,
the superintendent OF teiegraphs. The hrst
essay was made along wire stretched from
the Office Of the Great Northern Telegraph
Company In Yokohama to the telegraph
station in Honcho Dori, and subsequently
conversation was head between this
place and Toxic along the ordinary line
wire. The experiments having proved to
be entirely successful number OF instrii-
ments we're purchased; and the polico-staa-
tions in the metropolis, the Emperor's pal-
ace, and the Government departments are,
or soon will be, in telephone communica-
ton with each other. On the Public Works
Department being put into connection with
the palace the Emperor and Empress were
present, and expressed their surprise at the
result. 1t may be expected, as soon as the
requisite number OF instruments can be
procured from the inventor, that the tele-
phone will be brought into general use
throughout Japan wherever the telegraph
wiSes reach. s..

How He MADE HIS MoNEY.-[Ffom the
California advertiser. ]-One of the rich
est Cinnamon in this city is doubtless Mr.
Chew Kow Yup, who came to this city a
penniless Mongolian thief about seven years
ago. All his wealth has been obtained by
committing to memory four simple words :
You savee me leper." The second night
after his arrival he broke into q dry goods
store and was just carrying away bis booty
when policeman coIlared him and pre-
pared to march him down t3 the City
Hall, He made no resistance, but innocen*-
" remarked, "You savee ME leper," and
Officer Mulligan fled wildly toward North
Beach, giving his prisoner the opportunity
to steal seven more undershirts, OF which
he promptly availed himself. lie was only
once brought into court, being then charged
with wholesale diamond robbery, and
when asked to plead gully or not guilty, he
simply repeated the words of his charm in
voice at once plaintive and full OF express
sion. The Court was cleared in less than
forty seconds, two OF the jury leaving their
hats behind, and the Judge his gold specta'
cles, all OF which Mr.. Chevy kow Yup ap.
propriated, together with the loose change
in the clerks draw. The wealthy heather
is entirely free from leprosy. He will sal
in the next steamer for Hong Kong with
about 100000.

PROFESSOR DoUTNEY.-Mr. Doutney. the
temperance lecturer, had another large
audience last night at Mozart Hall. His
address was aimed at the wholesale and re-
tail liquor trade, and was interspersed with
vocal and instrumental music. In the
course Of bis remarks he took occasion TO
compliment Judge Christian on his course
in reference to the sale of intoxicating
drinks OH Sunday. The most interesting
feature OF the entertainment was the cornet
playing by Signor Alesandro Liberatl.
About fifteen persons signed the pledge.
