SECRETS. We must regard every
matter as an entrusted secret which we
believe the person concerned would wish
to be considered as such. Nay, further
still, we must consider all circumstances
as secrets entrusted which would bring
scandal upon another if told, and which
it is not our certain duty to discuss and
that in Cur own persons and to his face.
The divine rule of doing as we would be
done by, is never better put to the test
than in matters of good and evil speak
ing. We may sophisticate with our
selves upon the manner in which we
would wish to be treated, under many
circumstances; but everybody recoils
instinctively from the thought of being
spoken i'll of in his absence.

In the event that communication with st.

try for her supplies Of brsadstufs. This is the
presert aspect of affairs, aad with it we have the
prospect of ~ advance in the price of aonr, and
the other staples which our Valley prOdu-
ces in such abundant prOfisiOn. The amount of
breadstuffs that Salt Lake can send to market,
at best, is limited, and is by no means e2muen-
surate with the wants Of Montana and hence we
may calculate on being called upon to furnish
the bulk of the supplies. Montana, too, will
furnish a market for our surpluI bacon, butter
and eggs, and thus gives assurance that the
present depression will give place 10 an era of
prosperity.

RECoNsTRUCTIoN.-I olsPatcn'
es TO the latest date show that the two
Houses of Congress had been unable to
agree upon any plan of reconstruction, and
that the whole question was likely to go
over to the next session. The dispatches
further show that a large number Of the re'
publicaus bad grown restive under the rule
of Stevens and were disposed to throw of
bis leadership. In the Senate similar con.
dition of affairs obtained, and even the most
subservient declared that they would no lonn
ger submit to Summers lash. This disshecI
ton in the radical ranks is regarded as the pre-
cursor of general break up, and in the revo"
luton likely to follow it is earnestly hoped that
statesmen-men who understand the science
of fgovernmeDt-will take the place Ofthe mad
fanatics who have lately held control. The
fact that for two years the radicals in Con-
gress have been tInkeriDg at the question OF
reconstruction, and now at the close of the
session are no nearer a result than at the





commencement Of their labors, affordt the
very best evidence that they are unequal to
the task in hand, and at once suggests that
they give place to wiser and better men.
Months since it was obvious to every Impair
tial observer, that the radicals had drifted
into dead lock-" and now with an entire
session of Congress consumed, it is equally
apparent that radical ingenuity is unable to
solve the difficulty. 1t is unfortunate fol

followed instead of preceding the annua
elections. Had the collapse occurred sil

no longer be resOrted to by us to
redress our grievances. We must

"Having been overp0wered in
the late struggle, we can sub

conditions of our conquerors with
out diShOnOr, and we must adopt
the least of two evils; a futile re-
sistance would only cause our
riyets to be driven closer; we must
thenacquiesce or leave the country.
But we love too dearly the land Of
our birth to abandon it in it's hour
of seyerest trial. We should avoid,
also, bringing it, by internal dis
sentions, to the condition Of poor
Mexico, and the unfortunate South
American Republics.


"With regard to the suffrage
Of the freedmen, however objec-
tionable it may be at present, it is
an element Of strength for the fu-
trTe. If properly handled and di-
rected, we shall defeat our adver-
Saries with their own weapon.


"The negro is Southern born /;
with a little education and some
property qualifications, he can be
made to take sufficient interest in
the affairs and prosperity of the
South to insure an intelligent vote
on his part. ...


"In our future political contests
with the North, on protective
tariffs, internal improvements, ETC.,
the freedmen of the South will
side with the whites of the South

thus contribute to give us back
the influence we formerly had in

Hon. Allen G. Jones, and other promi-
nent citizens of Hale county, Ala, pub
lish a card from which.we make the fol-
lowing extract;


The undersigned take this method Of
calling your attention to facts which
now stare us 10 the face, and which ap-
peal strongly and loudly to every man
whose heart is at all alive to the feelings
of common humanity. The destruction
and suffering of your neighbors demands
aid, immediate and liberal aid, at your
hands. 1t is a sad fact that within the
limits OF Hale county there are many
helpless human beings who are at the
very door of starvation. There are many
old men, whose sons perished in our un-
successful struggle-women and chill
dren, whose husbands and fathers gave
their lives in defense of you and your
property-who have not had any meat
for months and who are now actually
suffering with hunger. A great majority
of these people would work but they are
physically unable. They are to be seen
on our streets every day, begging not for
coffee, sugar, meat, or any of the com.
forts of life-but for corn to make bread
for themselves and families.


1t is our duty as humane and chris
tian people to relieve this suffering at
once. Surely, the enlightened people Of
Hale county, who are able, need only to
have their attention called to this matter
to insure their speedy action. The
question is, how can this relief be af
forded most effectually, most judiciously
and most promptly.

deputy having said that Count Bismarck
played last year "a dangerous game,
which had been gained by the great quail

as President of the Council, made the
following reply:


"The last speaker has stated that the
Ministry, at the head of which l have the
honor to be placed, had ventured heavy
stake, which the bravery of the people
had ended by gaining. In conformity
with the habit of the Peoples Gazette
he has thus accused US OF having un-
necessarily risked the honor, indepen.
dence and liberty of Prussia in hazards

selves under the necessity of drawing the
sword in order to resist the attempts long
prepared with the view of destroying the
Prussian influence at Frankfort, and to
defend ourselves against perils which
could only be opposed by the bayonet;
we did so from necessity-in the honest
defense of ourselves and to apply to our
own acts the word hazardous game isl
will not use the expression that arises to

that be meant by this that Virginia would
be admitted to Congress provided she
would elect Senstors and Representatives
who were members Of the Radical party.
This was the condition of admission
made BY him. Shonld the State refuse
70 elect men of that party, abe would be
denied admission. Wilson did not con-
slider her constitutional claim to repre-
sentalion he did not discuss the va.
lidity of her State government. be did
not debate the natural right Of a people
TO be represented in government they
are taxed to support These questions
were to hi m Of no moment in comparison
with the one relating to the dominnncy
of political party in the State. Said
Wilsoa, in fact, send men tc Congress
who will vote as myself and Sumner and
Drake and Yates direct, and we will give
them seats, but we will not admit men
who will not be subject to our direction.


The pledge to admit Republican Con.
gressmen is an assertion that the State
is entitled to representation, or 1t is an
assertion that men Of the Radical party
will be admitted in defiance Of legal dis.
abilities The Radicals can take either
horn Of the dilemma thus presented by
Mr.. Wilson. There is brassiness about
his Hampton Roads speech, and the
cool manner 10 which be states that

ton Of representation, showing a con
science so debauehed that It is insensible

litisal rights are TO be determined BY the
