John Nugent, who drives car No. AZ on the
Bayou Road line, was yesterday made to give bail
for his appearance before Recorder Letten to
stand an examination some time next week. Ac-
cording to Nugent's statement, while driving his
car upon Esplanade street, on Thursday, he was
reproached by one of the passengers with allow
ing quadroon to ride in his car, although it was
not set apart for that portion of our population.
Nugent thought that the lady was Sp&niard or
Mexican, from her appearance, and refused to
interfere for some time during which interval the
lady herself, who is of i1nquestoned wkte blood
and of very respectable family, was charged by
the passenger with taking seat to which she had
no right. But upon second complaint to him.
Nugent declined allowing her to rem8in. The
lady vehemently stated her white status, gave her
name and residence, and made such a courageous
stand, that she was allowed to remain without
further molestation. Yesterday she lodged her
complaint against the driver, and he was then
arrested.


The question is delicate one, but considering
the dark complexion Of a large number of our
population who are, unquestionahy, of Caucasian
lineage, it is one which calls for great care upon
the part of drivers. When there is any doubt
the passenger ought always to have the benefit of
the doubt, and the parties who complain ought to
be made to give their names. The man who {;rst
raised tie objection in this case without knowing
anything about the lady, is the one who ought
now to be held RESPONSIBLE, as he no doubtwilbe
as soon as he is found.

TIE VETO AND TIE LAWYERS The expo
sition Of the legal objections tothe Civil Rights
bill, in the late veto OF President johnson. Is
so overwhelming a condsm nation Of that meas
ure that its very supporters confess that their
reputation as lawyers has been put to shame.
The New York Times says:


The analysis Of the details is of SO keen and
searching character, the logic is so irresistible
that ne should hope even the strongest advo-
Gates Of the measure will see how vastly impor-
tant it is that the constitutional power of the
veto should exist, and how important also, in
ahighcr sense, it is that such a constitutional
power should he entrusted to President en-
dowed with Judgment discretion, and most I'M
COMMON courage.


The strictly legal Interpretation which the
President applies to particular sections Of the
act is 50 overwhelmingly strong that the mem
bers learned in the law, who voted for it. can
hardly help blushing to find themselves so en-.
tlley at fault, under the sharp logic Of lay
man. So far as we can learn the sentiment OF
the more discreet portion OF the majority that
voted for the bill, they are ready to confess
that the President reasons are too strong Tor
them, and they are fain to fall back on what
they call his poll iical animus 10 excuse thelt
non-acceptance of his arguments.

CONGRESS AND THE MEssAGE.-Congress met
on Monday but up to the time of going to press
no details of the organization had been received
There is much speculation in regard to the i'm
peachment of the President, in fact the public
mind is generally disturbed over that topic
Many ardent Union men are disposed to think
that impeachment will not be resorted to out of
fear on the part of Congress that the Presidents S
ambition and vindictveness might induce him 10
perpetrate some further outrageous act which
would result in new disaster to the country
Candidly, we have no such opinion of Congress.
We believe that after the overt acts already COM
mtted by Andrew johnson that Congress has
very little respect for him, and we have no idea
that he awe or intimidate majority of the
men composing it. The people of the loyal States
Is all intents and purposes recently affirmed their
belief at the ballot-box that he was deserving of
impeachment and disgrace, and by larger ma
jorty vote than elected him. We shall know
more in regard to this matter week hence.


The only intimaton we have of the tone of the
Message is contained in dispatch dated Nov
2sth, which is as follows:


The President makes no secret OF many I'M
portant points in his message. 1t will be concil-
iatory in zone, and will throw upon Congress the
responsibility OF completing the work of restor-
ing the Union, by admitting Southern delegates
10 their seats. He takes the ground that the Un-
ion is already restored, so far can be effected
ly Executive authority. He proposes several ad-
ditional Constitutional Amendments, limpossi-
BILE providing for the election of President and
L. 5. Senators by direct vote of the people, with

A most singular case of anthropophagy has
lately come before the tribunals of Paris. A
Young girl of eleven years of age attempted sue
cessfuly the life of her mother and sister for the
sole purpose of drinking their blood. The child
has been examined by competent physicians, and
proved to be attacked by the strange and terri
BILE mania of anthropophagy. Her extreme youth
leads the physicians to hope that her cure may
be accomplished. The Opinion Rationale, COM
menting on this, recalls the history of Sergeant
Bertrand, who ten years ago used to quit his bar
racks surreptitiously at night, scale the walls OF
cemeteries disinter corpsesand devour their flesh.
The Opinion recapitulates the history OF Blaise
Ferrage, who, in the year 1879, left his family
and took up his abode in cave on the summit
of one of the mountains Of the Azure. AT dead
of night this cannibal would leave his hiding
place, and with stealthy steps prowl about the
mountain paths till he captured woman or girl,
whose throats he instantly cut, and then sucked
every drop of their blood. So successful was he


in snaring fresh prey that for the last three years
of his life he had no other food. Al last peasant
determined to risk his life or capture this mon
ster. He pretended wish to turn cannloal and
10 ioin him in his forays. He succeeded in his
purpose, and conveyed him to Toulouse, where
the Parliament of that city condemned Ferrage
to be broken on the wheel, which sentence was
carried out on the 18th of December, 1882.

In the tempest Of life, when the wave and the gale
Are around and above, if thy footing should fail,
II thine eye should grow dim and thy caution depart
Look aloft and be firm and be fearless of heart.
If the friend who embraced in prosperity's glow, =
With smile for each joy and tear for each woe,
Should betray thee when sorrows like clouds arayed


Look aloft to the friendship which shall fade
Should the visions which hope spreads light thine


eye,


Like the tints Of the rainbow, but brighten to fly
Then turn, and through tears of repentance regret
"Look aloft' to the Sun that is never to set.
Should they who are dearest, the son of thy heart
The wife of thy bosom in sorrow depart,


Look aloft from the darkness and dust of the tomb
To that soil where affection is ever to bloom.
And oh when death comes in his terrors, to cast
His fears on the future, his pail on the past
In that moment of Darkness with hope in thy heart,
And smile in thine eye, s'look aloft' and depart

THE PREsENr.-In order to enjoy the present,
If is necessary TO be intent on the present. To
be be d doing one thing, and think Of another is
very unsatisfactory mode of spending ife Some
people are always wishing themselves somewhere
but where they are, thinking of something
else than what they are doing, or of somebody
else than to whom they are speaking. This ls
the way to enjoy nothing, to do nothing WELL
and to please nobody. tits better to be interested
with inferior persons and inferior things tnan 70
this indifference is the adoption of other peoples
tastes instead Of the cultivation of our own-the
pursuit after that for which we are not fitted,
and TO which consequently, we are not IN reality
inclined. This folly pervades, more or less, all
classes and arises from the error of building our
enjoyment on the false foundation of the world
opinion. instead of being, with due regard to
Others. each our own world.

1. 1t should be truthful. "Let your


words be, Yea, yea, and Nay, nay: for
whatsoever is more than this cometh Of
evil" The meaning of our Lord is
that our words should be truthful
They should not be used at random;
nor elevate conjecture in the place Of
authority; nor honor suspicion as equal .
to fact; nor hint a lie: nor cover a
prevarication: nor seem to sound as
though they meant one thing, when
really they may or do mean another
Yea should mean yea, and nay should
mean nay. This requires thorough
modesty of purpose and integrity OF
motive, which scorn to dissemble, and
which do utterly repudiate the cunning
of the hypocrite and the recklessness
df idle mischief-makers. It would be
hard to expect of any mortal man that.
he should be perfect in understanding
and faultless in judgment respecting


every matter. But the demands OF
truthfulness are absolute.


2. Conversation should be courteous.


The world despises and abhors an as


sassin, who steals silently into the pres


ence of his victim and despoils him of
life. But how many take advantage OF


unsuspecting intercourse to plunge the


dagger of malicious tongue into the


heart of neighbor, or even it may be


of a friend. Needlessly or wantonly


to wound the feelings of another is q


crime. It springs nom hatred, and


has in it the essence of murder. There


fore it is enjoined upon Christians that


they be courteous. Differ as they must


in opinions, an,Sfrequently in seeming


interest, yet rudeness is no ally for any
good cause. It is said that bees gath
cred upon the lips Of Plato because
his words were as honey.


3. But the best and most compre-
hensive rule to govern conversation Is
: the golden rule. The respect and del
icacy of honorable regard which We
solicit from others, we should be intenC
upon showing to others. They who


are self-respecting are ever careful to
respect others; and that forbearance
) which they claim as their right, they
should also practice. IF theyawould
fix themselves in the habit Of er
: saying worse things of their friends in
: their absence than they would properly
say in their presence, they should then
: do simply towards others what they
would that others should do unto


them.


With all their care and prudence and
" discretion, the best men will. often be
betrayed into the use of bitter, or has
: ty, or peevish or false words. They
. should, therefore, pray daily that the
; pitiful Lord will set watch at the
q the. door of their lips, that they sin not
n with their tongues, and that their con-
u yersation be as becometh the gospel.

In the Mobile Times of the Bird inst, we find
an article on the new year, in which the Ala
bamians are urged to forget the past and enter
upon the duties of the coming twelvcmonth
with spirit and earnestness, exercising kind
ness toward each other and toward the freed
men. That is all very excellent. Then, by
way of encouraging its readers the Times says:
1t is the destiny of all southern races, even
when overcome by arms, to dictate to their
victors by the highest laws of civilization and
intelligence.


1t illustrates this statement by reference to
the power of Roman law over the descendants
of the very Gauls, who conquered Rome, and
Grecian learning over the Romans, who over
ran Greece. Then it says: ;Eo3
