NOMENCLATURE. [From Appleton's Journal.] Our names are part of ourselves. They were settled on us long be fore recollections, aud have always, belonged to us. They come through our parents from long lines of ancestry, and seem, through the vista of descent, to belong to the eternal fitness of things. And yet, in many intsances, they have their origin in the occupation or other accident of him who first tiore the patronymic. Names are the keys of family history, unlocking for us r? nnofro 1 11 n ao nra LI J VJ OCUl^lO V/JL UUVLOUIU XI UVU^Vi Bestowed in the early dawn of so ciety, they were taken either from trade and occupation, or from lo calities; from characteristics of mind or body ; from hero-worship .; from the animal, mineral, or veget able kingdom ; from war or peace, or from some one of the .many thousand cause which attach them selves to the personality of the hu man race. Trades and occupations have given a name to more of the inhabitants of the earth than any other cause: ncrhnDs more than all other causes put together?as, for example, the innumerable Smith family. An honorable calling is that of the smith; he was the leading workman of his tribe, when earlv 7 ? genius first suggested the sharpen ing of Hint arrow-head, or tried to sonstruct a weapon out of metal. That Smith founded more families than anj* other man that ever lived It was trade, too, that first gave names to our Taylors, our Carpen ters, our Bakers and Masons, our Brewers, Sawyers, and Coopers; our "Wrights, Barbers, Chandlers, Butlers, Carriers, Boardmans, Sla ters, Chapmans, Poundstones, Bra ziers, Brewsters, Bankers, Cloth iers, Curriers, Binders, Cutlers, Arkwrights, Bootmans, Sawins, Cutlers, Carters, Cartwrights, Col liers, Carriers, etc. Kightly to understand the indi viduality of names, we should study their rec.ord in the Directory. The JSTew York Directory of last year contains the names of two f ItAncnul niw) ffr_ nmn Qmitlic? LllVUCCUlVl ttllli All \.j III II v UJiiUii3j five hundred and thirty Scrnidts, and over one hundred Smyths, Smythes, etc,'all connected hy re lationship somewhere this side of Adam?probably, indeed, this aide of Noah. One hundred and fifty nine of these residents of nur cos mopolitan City are John Smiths; and we hardly envy the letter-carri er who .has to distingniah John Smith the seventeenth from John Smith the one hundred and fifty eighth. What is he to do with a letter direetcd to "Mr. tTolm Smith, New York, N. Y. ?" Is he to run the gamut of the whole hundred and iifty-iiine till the right man be found? And what tales and se crets those miscarried letters must tell! To be sure, they are all about the Smith family, and therefore every Smith reader is interested in hushing them up. We all remem ber the case of the gentlemau who came too late to the Broadway Theatre to find a vacant seat. t jv- ? ajuuiwng, ruuuu iui <111 nisiaiii upon the crowded house before hi in, lie quietly exclaimed: "Mr. Smith's house is on fire!" There was a great rush for that pit, and the gentleman had a large number of vacant seats to choose from. But "Smitheries" abound else where than in America. It is but a few years since that a bet was laid in London that no Old-Bailey session had passed two years with out the trial and condemnation of John Smith. And, alas for the family name! the records of the court were searched, and the bet was won. In England, every sev enty-third person one meets is a Smith; and it is estimated that two hundret] and fifty-three thousand persons in the mother-country arc so called. And should some hum ble Debrett trace back their lineage to its hidden source, that name would be found in every instance d be struck out from the sparks of smithy. Next to the Smith family, come ic Joneses. St. John has given lore Christian names to Christian abes than all the other Evangel its. And John's son naturally ikes the patronymic of either ohnson, or Joues, or Johns. Over vo hundred and forty thousand ersons in England bear the name f Jones, besides the numerous imilies of their iirst cousins, the oh us and Johnsons. A host of lrnamcs are derived from Chris ail names, such as the Williamses, le Wilsons, the Williamsons, the homases, and the Thompsons, the ic Jameses, and the Jamesons, en orally the-patronymic-bears the ithcr's name; but sometimes the lother transmits the name of .Ncl's >n. Time and habit have great in ~ .1 uence in soiceiling mo uursu iuuus ndcr which our ancestry first as mied their titles; and a foreign inguage often elevates democratic rigin into most aristocratic socie \ The Malebranches of En land would decidedly object to aing known as the Badarms. [any a fair reader of "Ivanhoe" ould lind her cultured taste shock i by the conversion of Front-de ocuf into Bullock's-head. The ilebrated engineerTodlebcn would tus be anglicized into Mr. Death i-life; a pertinent name; by the a}r, for one who sentsuch slaught into French aod English ranks, otwithstanding what Shakespeare ivs, a rose often does smell sweet t? its possessor than if its name a/1 trnlrrar oaunnintinna Tims thn istocrutic Foljarabes would de dedly object to having their young dies Saxouized into the Miss Bad gs. Ail history tells us that the early tvellers upon earth erected their ineraents upon the shores ef lakes, ong the banks of rivers, or close y the sea, whence so much of icir food was drawn. A'fortunate iscator would naturally ucar tno irae of his finny pre}'. And so eliave the numerous Fish families, ; the head of <vliom may be put ic father of our Secretary of State, reserved Fish. Fislier, Hook, ate, Batcman, Sholes, Dolphin, hrasher, Eels, Conger, Salmon, ake, Bass, Codman, Tike, Roach, otch, Place, Whiting, Herring, [ullctt, Ray, Lamprey, Pollock, haddock, Trout, Roe, Spratt, Lubb; Turtle, Finney, Cockle, id Crabb, all of them good old nglish names. There arc fashions in names as i all earthly .thinsrs. In Crom ell's time, Puritanism weighed ;ry heavily on the tender babee rolight to the baptismal font, ume gives us the names of a jury i the following nge, among whom e find Stand-fast-on-high Stringer, ill-sin Pimple, Fly-debate Rob ots, Fight-the-goodfight-of-faith iThite,. More-fruit Fowler, Sleep :>t Billings, and many other such iblieal worthies. These names idicate the wishes of the parents ither than the piety of the chil ren. And xvc are not aware that ic Parsons, the Priests, the Chris ans, Deacons, Creeds, Churches ; Devotions, have any better chil ren than htfve the Hoggs, the !ams, the Bawns, the Clays, the [udds, or the Nettles. A member f Congress rejoices in tlie name of cdlove, but is scarcely more pious lan his congressional feliow-sin ers. Isaiah, Daniel, Jeremiah, [atthew, Mark, Luke, and John, ;e often bad boys, bet their sisters ivino, Faith, llope, Charity, aud iove, arc not much better. Till thev reach their maioritv. oor mortals have no responsibility )r their names; that matter is ,'ttled by the fond mother .it bap sm. But when able to reach ,venty-onc and the Legislature, it ithoir own fault if they retain the atne of infancy. In this amusing ccouut of Suffolk surnames, Bow itch tells us that, in 1875, Pepper lixer, Esq., was pcrmited to change is mixed address, feoon after Mr. \ iiuviuub ui U19 1UUU -LIJ 848, a whole family of Vests di ested themselves of their old aino. In 1850, Thomas Jest de idedtojestno longer. A distin uished lawyer of Middlesex Coun y, in Massachusetts, named Burn ide, disliking his Christian name, pplied for leave to change it. Un n-tunately, he wrote a bad hand, nd so the clerk of the Great and ieneral Court thought, he also pe itioned to change his last name into lumsidc. The Legislature granted tie petition as the clerk read it, nd, when the law passed, the gen eman woice lip to tlic fact that lie 'as Mr. Bumside. For one year, nd until the Legislature met new, did that name cling to him; nd then, by dint of writing a lain hand, he was legislated into is old patronymic. G reat names sometimes come to an jnoble destiny. George AVash igton has lately been sent to the reorgia State-prison, where Thoni 3 Jefferson and Daniel Webster rcre already confiued. Iu Decern cr, 1869, Henry Wilson was rrested for selling liquor without license. ISfapoIeon Bonaparte as but lately received Lis just mterice of imprisonment for life ] an American jail. And surely mong <n*oat names may be indu ed the late Mr. Knox, of Boston, hose first name was Aldiboronti hoskiphorbia. But this lady [ways signed herself "A. Knox." In the i'ale College catalogue, of lirty years ago, we were amused it.li a student's name of Spear, to hom a poetical father had given le Christian name of William hake. And Dickens tells us that is well-known epithet of Boz riginated in a playfi.il application > his younger brother of the name f;Moses, from the Moses of "The "icar ef Wakefield." First, it was [oses. then Roses, find finally and ircver 13oz. As wo turn from the name of the idiuidual to that of' tho locality, we nd the same general rule that early reumstances always emboby them ilves in the designation. The name ? the town will generally unlock to 3 its early history. We might be ire, even if tho New England histo an did not inform us of the fact, lat our Massachusetts Boston was ittled by those who once lived in St. otolph's town, in England; that the irliest citizens of bewitched Salem ero thoso Puritanic forefathers of irs who came hither saying "Let us ave peace ;" that our oldest scat of aiming received its Dame from Cam ridge in England; and that that iaco in its turn lifts its scholarly ?wers where a bridge spans the Cam. ut as this country expands and rows oleter, we find a great paucity I* original names; first settlers arc 3t usually persons of much mental tlturc. Tho nurabcr of immortality-socking lal-cstato owners, who would pro ct themselves on to posterity by eighing down whole communities ith their baptismal ugliness, is un rtunatoly very great. Over sixteen jndrcd post-ofrico villages in tho nitcd States wilfully terminate their lmes with villo. fYom Abbeville, of liich there are five, a3 well as one hhovfilln t.hrmnrli Grtibvillo in " J J O" issouri, to Gillvillo in Alabama, and iousvillo in Indiana. And, in. the ?ar of graco 1S69, Strong Pepper, sq%, deerecd that tho villago around is residence should bear tho name of eppcrvillo. Five towns rejoice in tho name of apoleon. Our Catholio proclivities e shown by the fact that one hun cd seventy-four villages commence icir names with tho title of Saint; iree hundred and thirty-seven begin ith ilount. "Wo have spoken of ino carl*' home of our Puritan lath 's, in 'Massachusetts, t!)P town of ilem ; thirt}'-one other towns or vil ges bear the same peaceful designa on, including three Salem Centres, a ilem Chapel, Salem Church, and vlem X Koads.

Dodd jquires a property, and, as popula on clusters upon it, calls it Dodds orth. His next neighbor, Mr.-Grim, as a place close by, and, not to be itdonc, calls it Grimsby. Men of calth naturally desire to write them ilvcs of that ilk. Air. Carroll, tlio rincipal settler of the District of olumbia, before it became Federal rritury, called it Carrollsburg.

And so wo find, in that ommonwealth, towns and counties tuned Hampshire and nampden, htttham, Essex, Granvillo, liarre, !ardw:ck, Brewster, Shelburne. rnfton, etc. Jn tho equally ancient ommonwealth of Virginia, wo find io old aristocratic spirit developing j self in names which the Cavaliers delighted to honor. Her conntics are named Brunswick, Gloucester, King and Queen, King George, Prioco William, King William, Princess An ne, Princo George, Prince Edward, York, etc. Ono of its .oldest cities, Alexandria, lias its principal streets named King Street, Queen Street, Royal Street, Duke Street, and Pitt Street, All Virginia bears the impress of an aristocratic foundation. And he knows but little of his couniry's history, who cannot detect in the names of both towns and families, the Puritans of JS'ew England, the Knickerbocker element in New York, the Friendly qualities of Pennsylva nia, the Pranco-Spanish origin of Louisiana, as well as tho Cavalier spirit of Virginia. Our only past lies in our names. WILLIAM R. HOOPER. Senator Scliurz and the Duty of Recon ciliation to tlie South. Senator Scliurz 'lias largoly added to his reputation by his able and ex haustive speech, made at St. Louis on Monday last. He reviewed the career of the present Administration, and exhibited how it has disappointed every hope, and how under its aus pices the law had been converted into the very instrument of tyranny. General Grant, whatever, with iiis dogged pertinacity, lie may have proved in the field, has signally failed, either as a statesman, or a civil rulor. For these ho has no capacity. The fact is, and it has been mado to ap pear, through the sufferings and dis asters of the past few years, that on all subjects of statesmanship, he is simply stupidly dull. For these he has no capacity of, or inclination for, comprehension. lie is without ability to comprehend the true nature of our Constitution, or the character of our institutions. Iler.ce, there has been little respect or account for freo gov ernment, and hence his rule, by such men as Colliding, Morton and others, \y ii\Jj vtiv L/wuiuuJiOj jivsvui ivat u( and still in a time of peace believe in tbc hates of war. And this at a time whon both tho general welfare, the necessities of tho times, arui liborty itself, demanded tho equality of all tho States and people, tho cessation of arms, and a return to tho peaceful agencies of self-government, irrespec tive of Federal interference, whether hv ils iir>litir>'il nnwov nr t.hn linrslmr coercion of the bayonet- Events have all, with their sad history, demon strated that reconciliation was impos sible under the present Administra tion. Its hand has been against the restoration of the South. And to-day the stiiple of all the speeches made for General Grant is the keeping alive of the issues of a war closed seven years since, and of all tho passions which surround and belong to a condition of discord and dissension. !N"ot one word <i9 WC hear of a common concord and fraternity. And yet without this how can tho country ever be one in reality and iu happiness . Under Geneial Grant's Administration it has been one merely in name. The South has been left at the mercy of plunder ers and thieves. Every effort for honesty and reform has been met with the mailed hand from Washing ton, at the throat, sustaining the un principled and depraved in position, until at last hopo has almost yielded to despair. And this with free Amer ican Commonwealths, and free Amer ican citizens. These can never be free in reality until th'c mailed hand, on which the robber relies for his Dnnnnilv i J mimrtMil ?i rwl niilv be effected bj* a change in the Federal Administration. As Mr. Greeley well says, "tbo blacks have been enfran chised. The present question is the enfranchisement of the white race." (3ric of the most vital of the points to which Senator Sehurz refers in this connection, is the great duly of con ciliation to tho South. lie well says: "The first great object of our policy should have been to rcnationalizo the South, to revive among the Southern pooplo feelings calculated to attach their hearts again to the foi times of this Union. For, let us not indulge ?? * < Ka ^lnlnci/vn t)w? lml<linii* 1 A ill lliV V4 V?l llOiV/tl llliVU I II V UViUtiig w I gether by force of its component parts ! ia a basi.s upon which :i liepublic can I safely rest or long enduro. It re- j quires that bond which binds together ' the hearts of the people, and noL their i bodies only ; and to crcato that bond ; was for us tho highest object of statesmanship, In order to revive patriotic feeling and national attach-! nient in tho South, wo had to convinco i the people that we were their friends, ! and not their conquerors only ; that! we had their welfare at Jieart, and not our advantage. Only when wo made thsni believe in the purity and j unselflshnes3 of our intentions, could j wc hope to gain their affection*. Let j u.s see what was done by the Admin- j istration and the ruling parly. ' The <rreat social revolution crrown ! out of Lho war had resulted, by logical ; necessity, in the enfranchisement of the eolored people. Only by tho ex-1 crcise of political rights can tho free | laborer maintain liis independence;! but tho colored voters, untutored and ; inexperienced, fell under tho leader- j ship of unprincipled adventurers. As ! it was, a system of robbery and ruin- j ous misgovornmcnt ensued which has i hardly a parallel in history, -lost of, those States were, with incredible i rapidity, burdened with enormous J debts without any equivalent. Scores ? of millions disappeared, a?; if by magic, j in the capacious darkness of private pockets Impoverished as those States were by war, they were now stripped naked. The public expenses bccamo absurdly extravagant; the taxes un bearable. Under such loads industry [ was discouraged and (lagged, ilutcr priso sank.down with hopeless de spair. Production diminished, and incrcdiblo as it may seem, while tho rest of the country was progressing prosperously, the value of real proper ty in many of those States appeared in tho census of 1870, after five years of pe$co, far below tho figures exhib ited by the census of 18G0. Such have been the effects of so-called car pet-bag government in tho South. Who was responsible for this? Those governments were and aro at this moment carried on in the namo and under tho auspices of tho Republican party. It was through them that tho Southern people felt tho touch of do grading power. It was in them that they saw the spirit working. ' While the most reckless and rapa cious of political blood-suckers were thus plundering those communities, a system of political disabilities was maintained which excluded a large number of the intelligent and proper ty-holding men from eligibility to offico, and thus from active participa tion in tho administration of public affairs. A large number of thoso who had the groatest st.ako in good gov ernment were thus told that it was no business of theirs. While in this way on the ono sido tho work of the rk1iinrlAi*nva woa if iroo nof piUiJUUl 1^1 O It luvtltvuvvvtj IV ?l IIVV wonderful that on the other the sum mons you shall love this Governmotit lid not meet with enthusiastic re sponse. The removal of political dis abilities, although its good effects could not havo been doubted, was studiously put off until it could no longer bo denied ; aye, until the Cin cinnati Convention had shown that the question could be trifled with no longer, and when amnesty was grant ed it was done with such useless re strictions and with such a grudging grace as to make it appear that thoso who gave it would ranch rather have withheld it. It was 'simply the first victory of tho Cincinnati movement. Look over the legislation of Congress touching tho late insurrectionary States. Study attentively tho bayo net law, the Ku Klux law, as they now present themsolves in retrospec tive viow. "Not only did they, while protect ing the rights of some, break down tho bulwarks of tho citizens against arbitrary authoritj*, and by trans gressing all constitutional limits of power engender tho rights of all. Not only did they awaken in the breasts of many, however well dis posed, tho grave apprehension that a Government or ruling party assuming so much would stop at nothing, but s?cn measured servou uirocwy 10 sus tain in powor the very adventurers who, by their, revolting .systemr of plunder, were violently keoping alive the spirit of disorder which that legis lation would repress. "It is in this light that the majesty of the National Government appears to those people, not as a friend to lift them up from their prostration, to guide them out of their errors with a generous hand, and to make them lo?)k up to the national flag as a sym bol of iustico and fairness equal to all: not that, but as the ally and abetter of tho robbers who suck their blood, as tho mainstay of a system which drains their resources, blasts their hopes, emasculates their cnorgies, mocks their enterprise, and condemns them to utter poverty, distress and ruin. You honest Republicans whose cars have, been assiduously filled onljT with horrible Ku Klux stories, and whose mind is unversed in tho myste ries of party management, }'ou may look with surprise at this picture. You understand that tho affection of these people cannot bo successfully invited l>y the cry, 'You must lovo us, if it takes your last penny."
