4 Furious Onslaught on Southern
Democrats by BIagg Of Wisconsin.

Washington, Jan. 22.-It Is
weeks since the House has had as many
angry men in it as to-day, when Bragg,
OF " isconsin had his say on Southern
claims. 1t was in the morning hour,
and IL Bill syses mp to pay a claim, Just,
apparently. but barred before the
Court Of Southern Claims by It's stat
ute Of limitation. The bill pending
proposed to waive this technically.
As in every case OF a claim paid by
Congress, or brought before Congress
for payment, the proof of LOYALTY was
the first requisite. Bragg took the
bill as text on which to attack az
Southern claims. 1t was not five
minutes before he had every Republi-
can member in the House standing in
the little open space before the aisle in
which he was standing. Bragg ridi-
cGled Southern loyalty. He drew
such picture Of the suffering Which
was inflicted on the loyal people Of the
North as has not been often eqLalled,
and he demanded for their payment
priority, if by the payment Of any war
claims the national Treasury must be
bankrupt As for the threat which is
always TO be heard muttered around
the Hobbies and cloak rooms during a
debate Of this sort, that the Southern
Democrats would leave the Democrat
ic party in the lurch, if Democratic
mdjorities did not pass Southern claims
Bragg invited any man held to his
support Of the Democratic pan ty by
the cohesive power Of prospective
plumber to leave, and leave at once.
the party Of Democratic principle
could better make its stand at the
North once relieved Of that great load
the threatened payment Of Southern
claims.
As Bragg closed the Southern mem
bers were furious. Their faces had
been blackening through an Of Braggs
five minutes. Quiet men like Gibson
OF Louisiana were boiling; and as for
Chalmers Of Mississippi and Mills OF
Texas, and Ellis Of Louisiana, their
faces were crimson. A cOol-headed
member from West Virginia in charge

ern members came pouring in from the
Hobbies, anxiously asking what the
hot row was over. The whole House
was in fcrment and stir when Ellis O.

who were principally interested il

that this was only a family quarrel
There was a laugh, and when Ellis
time had run out every one was in
better humor. The morning hou
ended Just then, and Hooker, Chal
mers, and Ellis, all Of whom elaine,

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGES.

Any one who carefully reads the
Messages Of the retiring Gov. Gov.
Porter and Of the present Gov. Gov.
Marks, Will be struck with the vast
difference between the two papers.
The one is Il conservative, dignified
State paper, treating plainly and fear

State policy and finance, not attempt
ing to cover single difficulty with
the rhetoric of words or the glamour
Of passion, but recognizing the embar
RAISING troubles, it discusses them with
that becoming dignity and fairness
which the magnitude Of the subject
and gravity OF the situation require.
1t is not over estimating this paper
when we say that it is by far the ablest
Messag e which Governor Porter dur
ing his two terms as Governor has
sent in to the Legislature. There Is
calm dignity, a conservative spirit, Il

What Causes the Depression.

Nearly every Southern white man
sils around corner groceries, chews
tobacco, drinks whisky, damns the
Government and says "the niger won't
work" aud all this time the Niger is
moving fields Of grass with common
scythe, plo@iug with starven mules,
getting the quarter Of crops from over
worked lands, and bringing TO his en-
ployer the small returns which such
farming always produce. Go into al
most any Southern small town and you
will see poor, jaded, half starved horses
hy the dozen, tethered TO posts and
fences, where they will remain all day,
while their owners sit around in shady
har-rooms and lament the failure of the
Rebellion aud echo the refrain that "tbe
nigger won't work. Let the doubling
Thomas of Washington drive out in the
early morning on any Of the beautiful
drives that lead from the city, and lie
will see whether white men bring the
marketing TO town-the garden truck,
the vegetables, for which our market is
famous, the fruit that no other city can
equal, the game, the fish, that make our
market the envy Of other cities-the
advantages arising from all Of these, the
doubling Thomas will see, belong 10 the
'nlAEtLr kuAt WONT M0Fk.' Inc
"niggers" do all the work in the South,
and the white men do all the heavy
standing round and receive the money
without devOting an hour day to the
business which gives them support. The
Southern people may as well under
stand, first as last, that no pursuit in
life can be successful without hard work
aud personal attention. The times have
passed when Southern farmer Tor
PLANTER as he calls himself can get
along without working himself No
man can thrive in any pursuit who does
not look after his business for himself.
Temporary successes may be made by
accident, but permanent prosperity de-
pends upon individual endeavOr. The
"nigger" lCU work, but be will work
more successfully if he has an example
and intelligent direction-if the South
ern people will not have any occasion
TO brag about what they were "befO' de
wah," but on the contrary they will be
able to brag Of what they are Hoi0.-

A Sound Legal Opinion.

An honest farmer once called upon
the late Roger Sherman, the celebrated
lawyer, and told him he wanted an
opinion. He had heard a great deal
about the value of Mr. Shermanis opin-
ion, and how great many people went
TO him to get an opinion; aud John, who
had never had, nor was likely 10 have,
a lawsuit or other difficulty for a lawyer
% help him from, thought he would
have an opinion.
"Weil, John, what can I DO to help
you ?n said Mr.. Sherman, when John in
his turn was shown into the room.
"Why, lawyer" replied John, 81
happened to be in town, aud, having
nothing to do, thought / would come
and get your opinion"
Estate your case, John. What's the
matter?"
ooh, nothing; I aiu't got no lawsuit.
! only want to get one Of your opinions;
they say they are very valuable"
"But, John-about what p"
"Oh, anything, sir; take your pick
and choice.n
Mr.. sherman, seeing the notion Of his
client on the matter ia hand, took pen,
and writing a few words, folded them
up and handed them TO John, who care
fully placed them in his pocket.
Whats TO pay, sir?'
"Fourand sixpence" Yankee money,
seventy-five cents.
When John returned home the next
morning, he found bis wife, who pretty
much took the lead in his business mat
ters, auxiOusly discussing with his chief
farm servant the prOpriety Of getting in
large quantity Of oats on that day.
which had been cut on the one previ-
Gus, or Of undertaking some other labor.
John was appealed to to settle the
question, but he could not decide. At
! length he said:
"pll tell you what, Polly, I've been to
a lawyer, and got an opinion that cost
me four aud siXpence. There It is-reqd
her OUT it's a lawyers writing and |
can't make head or tail out Of itu'
But Polly opened the paper aud read
as follows: "Never put of till to-mor-
row what can be done today
Enough said 20 cried John: "them
oats must be got in" Aud they were
''got in" and the same night such a
storm came on as otherwise would have
ruined them entirely.
John often afterward consulted the
opinion, and acted upon il; and 10 this
day entertains high estimate Of law
yers' opinions generally, aud Of the la
mented Mr.. Sherman's in particular.

THE Noise OF THE FINGER In a
recent number Of the Medical Record.
DIR. Hammand says that when you poke
the end Of your finger in your ears. the
roaring noise you hear is the sound OF
the circulation in your fingers, which is
a fact, as any one can demonstrate for
himself by first putting his fingers in
his ears aud then stopping them up
with ether substance. Try il, and think
what a wonder Of a machine your body
is, that even the points of your fingers
are such busy workshops that they roar
like a small Niagara. The roaring is
probably more than the noise Of the
circulation Of the blood. Il is the voice
Of all the vital processes tOgether-the
tearing down aud building up processes
that are always going forward in every
living body from conception 10 death.
