Si0n. George d. Tlllman,

Mr.. Dunncll, who is one of the best of
Washington correspondents, and chary
of compliments, concludes an admirable
letter to his paper, the New York Times,
as follows: Mr.. Evins, of South Carolina,
called the bill prescribing the quaifca.
tions of Territorial Governors) up to day.
Mr.. Hoar made q speech against it on
the ground that it would be Copgression-
al Limitation Of the Presidents powers
under the Constitution. Mr.. Tillman, Of
South Carolina, member who is not
heard often, and who is, like most of the
best takers, an infrequent speaker,
made the most striking speech on the
bill and for it, insisting that the Consti-
tuition gave Congress oil the power to di.
rect the President in the matter. He an-
noyed Mr.. Brown Of Pennsylvania, by
referring to the carpet. bagging Govern.

to go in and enjoy tho Territories. His
distress about the term, and he briefly
stated, in substance, that he was a stran.

our mules tried their best to push each
other overheard, bracing until our wheels
would reach the extreme edge, first on
one side and then on the other. They
were very much frightened, and had TO
be urged and coaxed when they had to
jump from one fiat to another, as these
sometimes yawed apart until there was
an interval of two feet between them.
How the soldiers got their artillery over
l cannot imagine.
CLOSING SCENE OF THE WAR.
Having arrived at Milledgeville, we
spent the night Mt hotel, which had not
a pane of glass in the windows aud was
horribly dirty, aud the next morning
drove out to the railroad, about five
miles from the town. There large
number Of soldiers were camped, cook.
ing, and warming themselves by cheer
full fires. We had moi been there long
when train came up bringing the last
of the "Army Of the West" At the
door Of box.car stood Gen. Hood, on
his crutches, but not cheer greeted his
arrival, and if there WAS ever Il sad aud
gloomy looking man OH earth lie was,
most assuredly. No one spoke to him,
and after few momente he turned back
and sat entirely alone; for there was
apparently none so poor to do him re.
verence."
At last we reached Eutaula, where we
remained until the next Summer. II
was there that we heard Of Lees surren-
der. One evening the Episcopal clergy
man, who was Kind friend, came in and
said, with agitation in his manner: ~
have very bad news to tell Gen. Lee
has surrendered his army" He then
drew from his pocket telegraphic dis.
patch, which had been sent TO the mayor
CT the town, and read tho official an.
nouncement in broken voice. The hot
tear.drops were our only reply, as we
thought Of the lives that had been given
in vain, and the SORROWS that were to
overwhelm our unhappy country. Gods
will be done," said our good friend sol.
emnly.

A Temperance Sermon.

"NO, / won't drink with you to day,
boys" said a drummer to several con-.
panions, as they settled down in the
smoking car and passed the bottle. 'The
fact is. bovs, have quit drinkipg-I've
sworn OIL He was greeted with shouts
of laughter by the jolly crowd around
him; they put the bottle under bis nose
and indulged in many jokes at his ex.
pense, but he refused to drink, and was
rather serious about it. whats the
matter with you, old boy ?" sang out one.
IF you've quit drinking. something's up;
tell us what it is" "Well, boys, I will,
though 1 know you'll laugh at me. But
I'll tell you, all the same. l have been
drinking man all my life, ever since

down, bowed his head on the showcase,
and cried like child. Boys" said the

Inclades n Moral.

"Ah! old man, how are you coming
on?" said one young man TO another ou
the street.
"First-rate. How's yourself?"
"Good! BY the way, believe bor-
rowed dollar of you last week, and
might as we'll return it."
"Borrowed a dollar of me 2" he re-.
piled, in affected surprise. II had for.
gotten all about It,"
"Well-er-er-I was under tho i'm
preston that 1t was you I borrowed it of,
but I must have made q mistake"
"Ah-er-come to think about It I do
remember of lending you a dollar last
week."
!. But his friend had got mixed up with
the crowd and was oUs of hearing.
The moral Of this is, dear reader, If a
man says he owes you dollar take his
word for it and don't try to put on style,
or you may lose your money.
