Col. EvINs ON THE SITUATIoN.-Mr.
Evins, member of Congress from South
Carolina, has given his views to CORES.
pendent Of tho New York Herald. He
says: "The Democratic majority have done
all they could to secure the repeal of the
odfous laws in question. 1t was in the
power of the President to defeat their eff.
forts, and he has cxerted that power. The
responsibility for the failure rests upon him
and his party alone. AS the Democrats
cannot pass the measure in the face of their
opposition, we ought now to accept defeat
gracefully and pass the appropriation bills
at once without the political riders. We
ought even to pass them first and then offer
bills repeating the obnoxious laws as sep
aratc measure. This course would leave
the Republicans without excuse for their
opposition, as we would be acting in mani
fest and perfect good faith, aud they could
not say that we we're holding back the ap.
preparations by way of threat. If they
refused at last to pass these measures, we
could 60 before the country and let the peo-
pic decide upon them. We should not
allow ourselves, as Southern men, to he
diverted from what we think is the true
inkerest- -of tho people by any pleas of party
necessity on the part of tn, Northern Dem
ocrats. We are really the majority of the
Democratic party in each branch of Con-
gress, and will lie held responsible for the
legislation of Congress, We have the right,
therefore, to dictate the policy to be pur-
su,d. Any attempt to adjourn without
passing the appropriation bills will be con-
sidered revolutionary by the country, and
we cannot afford to be put in that position
We have been between the upper aud neither
millstoncs long enough. We are willing
to do the voting and allow the Northern
Democrats to hold the Offices, but we claim
the right to shape the policy of the party
for which VIC must and will be held respons.
ible. What Conkling said in his recent
speech is true, that we are the controlling
power in both branches, and while it may
be very pleasant for Northern politicians,
seeking their preferment, to keep up sec.
tional strife, our interests demand that we
shall have cessation of such strife. Should
we adjourn without the means of carrying
on the government, believe It would solid.
ify the North as much as did the firing
upon Fort Sumter in 1861. Our Northern
Democratic friends might then find the
tide too strong for them, aud leave us in
the lurch by seeking new alliances with the
National or Greenback party. We cannot
afford to take the risks which they cam
We cannot afford to play cat to their monkey
any longer IF there aye any chestnuts to
be had they will get them the burnt paws

different position before the country from
ours. 1t is natural that the Northern peo-
pie should look upon us with distrust, COM
ing as we do into control of the government
so soon after the war, and We must learn to
labor and to wait"

OLD FATHER TINE is good Doctor
Hc don't make any noise about it, but he
cures maladies that nobody else can. He
sets things to rights and brings things to
pass that seem almost impossible. His
pendulum is always swinging excn or
odd, good or bad, Jack in the bush, cut him
down, here she goes and there she goes,
but it is the grand regulator Of all subloon-
airy things. Father Time brings pcstilence
and war, makes nations to rise and fall, dc.
poses kings and cheats presidents out of
their offices and allows the good and the
brave to be slandered by the mean and the
little, but by and by it all turns out right.
1t looks dark for while, but the light of
history uncovcrs it. Sometimes it takes
him hundred years to cure a bad
case-sometimcs fifty-sometimcs less, ac-
cordin' to the natur and magnitude of the
trouble, but it took him only fifteen to bring
Ben Butler to his right mind. Ben Butler
is great man. Like Bob Toombs, he was
born great, and he improved upon what n;.-
ture had done for him, but screw got
loose in Ben's philanthropy and he quit
sinners though they we're.
Somebody has said that great men are full
of contradiction that they arc great in some
things, but very small in others. Well, l
reckon that's SO, considerin' that Sam John
son wore shirt five weeks without washin' =,
and Isaac Newton cut three holes in the
door, one Cor the old cat and two for the
kittens, and Lord Bacon took bribes, and
Shakespeare s.olo deer, and Demosthones
and Frederick the Great run away in their
first battle, and Henry Clay buckcd the
tiger, and Genera jackson bet big plan
tation and niggcrs On horse race, and
Beecher, well he-I don't know what he
did nor what he didn't, but Pm afeerd he's
been little loose in the socket. But, after
all, none of 'em nor any other great man
ever stole spoons.-BW arp.

conscious of a confused recollection of things,

Mr.. O'Shaughnessy, the affabe advance

following scraps of the Captains personal
history:
Captain Paul Boyton was born in ALE.

very young, and his wildness took the not
undesirable direction of water, and his

How She Keeps Him at Home.

The Chicago Tribune says that young
wife of that city, who is anxious to keep
her husband at home evenings, fatters
him about the exquisitely dainty proper
tions of his feet, and induces him to wear
boots about two sizes two small for him.
He is on his feet all day long in town,
and when he comes home at night she
has soft chair and pair of loose, cool
slippers for him, and by the time he, with
great drops of agony pearling on his
brow, has got off his boots, he comes to
the conclusion that there is no place like
home after all, and has no desire to 60
down town to lodge or sit up with a sick
friend.
