TAgna ARB dozen or more Southern
congressman who will have seats in
the present Congress, who were elected
by a total vots cast in their districts
ranging from $500 to $500 while
in districts where there has been NJ
intimidation there are usually from ~,
900 to 10000 votes cast. These dis
tricts alluded to in the South, with thu
small votes, are districts whore the ne
publicans generally have from lo,oo'
to 90, coo majority if the shot gun lead
ers would allow them to vote. This il
the true statement of the case, anC
when Chalmers, the negro butcher o
Fort Pillow, says that the negroes OF Ahl
district dressed in red shirts and lee
bv Oand3 OF music marched to tn
polIs and voted for him without com
puision, tI.ore is no harm III anybody
saying that he simply lies.

The REBEL leaders OF the Senate are
fixing up the manuscript copies of their
speeches made lew days ago in favor
of pensioning JEFF. Davis. A foot note
in the Congressional "Record' states
that the manuscript Of their speeches
has beenl withheld "for revision. -
This 8 u wise after thought for them,
and shows that after all they are afraid
of the effect their reasonable utterances
may have lpon Northern sentiment. II
is fortunalr, however, that the steno

ed, an there will b" an opportunity
yet for the people to see what the jeff

GOVERNOR GARcBLoN of Maine is a
queer kind Of Democrat. He not only
clings with great .enacity to the Maine
prohibitory liquor law, but he enumer-
ates the use of tobacco, snuff dipping
and opiates as amongst the things that
should be corrected. 1t. is doubtful if
such another Democratic Governor can
be found in the Union. Even Governor
Hall of this State, who stands high in
the Methodist church would hardly 60
so far, though if we are to believe the
Every Evening"" he hates the very
name of whisky. 1t is remarka BILE toe
that the present Legislature Of Maine,
the large majority of which are Demo
ocrats and Green hackers, has absolutely
refused by a vote Of LOG to II to ever
modify the prohibitory law Of the
State so far as to permit The sale o
malt liquors. Political parties in tina
state have found, to their cost, that I
will not do to meddls with this restrict
i've law, and they do not. i will stan
until it wears itself out. In anothe
column in the Republican will be foun'
letter from Neal Dow, to the Phila
delphia Record" in regard to tn
working of the Maine law which
worth perusal. 1t is worthy of not
that the Legislature that passed tn
first prohibitoIy liquor law of Maine wa
Democratic, but outside Of Maine Den
ocrats don't banker much after prohi

solid nsp. slsess Action.

There would have been no use for
tho Republicans % have made any con-
cssaions to tho Democrats, for the bour-
bon leaders Of the latter party were
bound to have An extra session any
how, in order that they might have .
full sweep in carrying out their rsvo-
lutionary schemes. They make no con-
esalment Of their purpose to pass politi-
cal measures through Congress a. inde-
pendent measures, and il the President
vsto~s them they will attach them to
appropriation bills and refuse supplies
Of money to carry ON the Government
until their political schemes are accom-
plished. Happily Republican Presi-
dent stands ready 10 WELD the veto
power over all such obnoxious. mea.
surss, and II the wheels Of government
must stop in their course the response.
bility must rest where 1t bslongs-with
Dc revolutionary cabal Of ex-rebels and
their cowardly abettors In the North
President Hayes must feel for once that
ks has . united and enthusiastic party
behind him. II we are to believe tn,
reports from Washington, there is n,
possible ground for doubt that the Pre-
sident will veto the repeal Of the Elec
ton laws in Whatever shape they con
70 him. No more emphatic opinion
were expressed on the floor Of the Sen
ate during the remarkable debate upol
this subject on Sunday night, than ar
openly expressed by some Of the Presi
dents Cabinet advisers, while the Pre-
sident himself, although maintaining
decorous reticence with regard to hi
future official acts, manages TO leave Il
fear in the minds of those who approac
him that he will fail to do his duty.
The opinion is quite prevalent Thu
the extra session will be long one, ant
from political point of view, an inte
esting one. Whatever it brings forth
it can hardly fail to be disastrous
the Democracy, for the very fact whic
calls the session into existence bea
such a close kinship to the dom
noering and revolutionary attitude
the party in the days which preced'
the rebellion that patriots everywhe
must recognize the treason which lur
beneath. The longer the session, 4
more solid must the North become.

BEAU HICKMAN.
An Anecdote of the Checklist Of Dead-Beats.

It is related of the famous Beau Hickman
that in his best days he once went to a first
class hotel in Baltimore, and, after register
ing his name, said he wanted the very best
the house could afford for his money, twir-
ling in his hand at the same time quarter Of
q dollar. The clerk saw before him an elegant
ly-attired gentleman, and, as Beau requested,
assigned him a handsome parlOr and bed
room: Beau lived like fighting cock, order
ing wines, extra dinners and everything pal
atable, for a week, at the end OF which time
the bill was sent. The amount was something
extravagant
Nothing abashed, however, he strolled into
the office and confronted the clerk. "Look
here, sir; there must be SOME mistake about
this; when l came here [ told you wanted
the best you could afford for my moneys
worth. had this quarter then (producing
the coin), and it's all I've had since" The
''Your fault, sir, your fault said the imper-
turahle Beau, mot mine. You can kick me
out if YOU like, but I'd rather go alone" Ira
dition says they were about to proceed to vlo-
the scene, and, looking at the name on the
register, recalled the peculiar vagraDt charac-
ter of the man before him (then just becoming
notorious in Washington, and discovered that
he had been "egregiously sod" The thought
out | shall be the laughing stock Of my
friends, and never hear the last of it," De-
liberatiDg moment he turned TO Beau and
good-naturedly remarked: well, Hickman,
that's the best ever had; but can't keep it.
I'll make bargain with you. Here, take
this SIS and pay your fare to Washington
beau quietly pocketed the half eagle and
now 60 over to - house, stay a week on the
same terms that you stayed here, and I'll

without cracking smile, I've been over
there for two weeks and they sent me here
It is needless to add that Beau disappeared
out OF the front door with an accelerated mo-
tion, and the landlord never heard the last OF
his attempt toget .seven" with his neighbor.

ENGLAND,s MILLIONAIREs.
The Men Who Have Gained Wealth BY
Their Own Exertions.

London, writes correspondent Of the New
York Times, still manages to.sell vast quanti-
ties OF works OF art, and the merchants and
manufacturers OF the North are still among
the chief patrons OF the studies and auction
rooms. The finest galleries, the most costly
collection Of modern days. have been made by
the cotton kings OF Manchester, the merchant
princes OF Liverpool and the midland manu-
facturers. Another circumstance worth re-
nlembering is that most OF these rich art col
lectors have been the architects OF their own
fortunes. Indeed, the majority OF the wealthy
men of business in England have either
made their own fortunes or sprung from some
poor, clever, industrious man, who, like Rich
ard CraWshay has laid the foundation OF the
house, Here are a few examples: Ripley, the
member Of Parliament for Bradford, who
owns half the town, Is self-made His father
and mother used to attend the market. The
very small way OF business, and his mother
sold yeast In a little shop. The first lord OF
the admiralty father kept small news
agents store in London. Mr.. Walter, member
Of Parliament and chief proprietor Of the
| Times, dates back. I believe, to his fathers
humble printing Office in the city. Mr.. john
ston, who left behind him the Standard worth
$150,O00 q year, besides real estate, was an
officer in the old bankruptcy court. The late
Herbert Ingram, member of Parliament and
drug store at Nottingham. Mr.. Lawson, the
chief proprietor Of the Telegraph, for which
he draws for his share, quite S1500OO year,
was the commercial representative Of an ink
house. He is row one of the rich commoners
of England. @Report has 1t that his income is
over 100000 year. This, Of course, does not
begin to approach the income Of the wealthy
men Of England who have inherited as we'll
as made fortunes. Robert Crawshay had at
least 5,OO0,0 900 left him by his father. How
much more he has made or lost don't know.
He gave his daughters wedding gifts that
would buy q German dukedom. But, talking
Of newspaper men, Lahouchere, in spite OF the
newspapers and theatres, pays income tax on
S16o,000 q year: He was robbed some time
tending some months, without being aware OF
4 it. TIE bank called his attention to some ir-
regularity, which brought the fraud to light

Life in Brazil.
A prominent Chicago gentleman, tempo
rarily In Brazil, writes from Rio de Janeiro,
June 5, to q friend In this city:
Business seems to be looking up at home
but Is asleep here You don't know the APP
plication OF the word "prostration' applied
to business. It originated here and cannot
get away. National currency deprecated IA
per cent In value since came. It's not my
fault.
Everything is taxed save land A bill is
proposed to tax bachelors. The climate is
trying. The only things person Is safe to
yellow fever. Living Is high, the quality Of
food low, and there IS very little game.
great many young men came out here to
get large salaries. They worked their way
home on sailing vessels and as stewards on
| steamers. Clerks are not wanted, especially
| those who cannot speak the language.
The Lord made this C tuntry, sure; but the
heat am in doubt about. An artist, though,
would go wild over the scenery.
A young man from Chicago wrote me as
follows: Il have recently quit good house
where had to work hard twelve hours a
day, which is too much. / think OF going
somewhere in Brazil; where would you ad-
wise me to go = ! answered, "Back to work" !"
Nearly every American here Is colonel or
major, and In reply to question as to which
| / was, I said neither; l was In the army.
The two things common in Brazil are black
beans and pianos. think the Brazilians the
most skilled pianists in the world
