Bill Arp to his old Friend. lim SOB* H*PPY-SUE: j^ 'T?^t lowrite to you personally about some things thats weighin on. me. I look upon you; ~s a friend, and I feel like droppin a ttw tines by way of unburthenin try sor rowful reflations. For tho last, few years you have travelled round right smart, and must have made*a neap of l?minos observa tions.- I h"uar yoe are now livin-in Nashville, where you can see all sides of everything, and read all the papers-^where you can ?t?dy Paradise lost without a book, and eee thc Devil and his angebt, without drawin on the imagination, andi thought maybe you might a^ist'ine in ray troubled feelings. I have always, Mr. ^fappy, ondeavore'd to see the bright side of every pikter if it had any, but there is oae or two subjecks about which! had miry nigh gin it up. I want you to tell me, if you can, about what time are the black republicans'gobi to quitperwecutin oar people?* What are they ?re so everiastia mad with us about ? Old Skewbald aays its for treason that we've gone and done, and that I am the slowest per seevin maa he ever seed not to have found it out. Now treason is%mity bad thing, and any man found guilty of-treason ought to be talked to by a preacher right under a gallup and then be allowed to stand on nota in for a few hours by the clock. Snore enufl'.trea son I mean. Treason where a man slips i-oond on th? sly in time of war, and lakes sides agin h's country. Just as though, for instince, I ahsrard-bi-Te worSecl agin in y ?av. rin State arter she had seceded, and had stole her powder, or-deserted her in her time of peril, while she was defending herself agin the combined assaults of th*e world, the ti es h and the devi l. I wouldn't have blamed no body for hangio me for the like, would you ? But Skewball says we aint got no suvreen States-that the war hav settled the ques tion agin us. On that pint I do'.t think so, nay friend. 1 admit that we aint nothin in pacttkier now, bat we did bav suvreen States bet?re the aar, and the sword aint settled nor unsettled no great principles. There aint no trial of right or wrong by wager of war now ad sys. For mighty nigh a hua dred years this country have been a big de - - - batin society ou these questions, Fror*: tho time of Ilamitton and Jefferson down to D3?l, tho right of ? State to dissolve her own part nership hate been argued by powerful mind ed men, and there has been more for it than agin it. More Presidents-more Senators, more state-men, mere ?udges, more people. Massychusetu and Connecticut were for it at oae time, and bellered round and pawed dirt amay>in to git out, but they found out Barcas iras wiitin, and they didnt go. I be lieve, however, that old Nutmeg did stay out about two boura and a half. Well the South went ba mity unwillingly, Mr. Happy, us you know. She "had been mity nigh kicked out tor a long.time, and - there was a big party that wanted os to go out and stay out. Everybody knows that we dident git along in.peace, so we conclu ded to do liku Abraham and his brother in law ; to se per ate our households What they wanted to keep us for I never could *ee, and can't see it you I wouldent have a nig, ?t>r or a dogto atay round me that dident ?ant to. Some say they .Wanted'us to strength en 'em agin their enemies in case of a larron war. Does any man ia his sober s cases ex pect ns to hoip the. black, republicans whip any body ? Have we got any worse enemies than they are ? They can't make us fight I >'?*- reckon if we dont want to.' We have font eauf and mace nothing by it but glory', and we aint going- to give another war to gratify " ?ither people. Dodd* saya before he'd pull a trigger for Shad Stevens,- he'd have his soul v ralransmigratetl to- a. bench leg'd fice, and bark at his daddy's mules 20i>0 years. 1 wonder if theexperience of thc last four years amt satisfied them fellers that our boya . are a dangerous set to be turned loose in the timo of war. Wouldcnt you think that as a matter of policy they would soft soddor us a little, and quit their slandtrin. If we do fight for'era, it will be on one condition cer tsjn-rthfiy mast> bo put where David put Uriah, *nd our boya must consent to make a charge or two bf hind 'em with thc pint of the bayonet. ^ But I,w*at you tell .mc, John,-if I am right about this bnitinCsi.

OM Pewryttn went off one day wi h some ?hip* and took a few beads andjuce harps.jind .bought up a Tot of captarea niggers from the Hottentot? or some other tota,- and stole a. few mere on the coast of Afriky and brought 'em over and educated 'em to work in tho' field, and cut wood, and.skeer bars and so forth, but not . includin votin,nor musterin, nor the jury bus iness and so forth. i^trter while they foand that the cold , and codfish airs of New" England J?de.Dt a*ree -??tb the nigger, and so ?hey be .cun to slide rm d.-wn south, as fast apposai Arter they had sold them and got the j iced the church and bec-, me int slavery, sorter like the wo coaverted and then-gave-all y to her * unconverted sister.

Now all this time wa had some good friends among em-some who'swore we were imposed upon, and said wa bad g?cd canse to dissolve the partnership.

But' a man tint responsible for the bad conduct of his ?elations, and I dont throw up to nobody, ?uppose that our President aro doing the >est he can, and Mr. Ethridge ougbtent io >e rakin np his record..

All IJ 3 lost save honor, and that they cant steal rom. us nor tarnish. If they had held out'the band of fellowship re would have made friends and buried the atchet. - But the very minuit they whipped ? s they began to holler treason from one end ? f the country to the other, jost like they had lade a bran new drskovery.

I President Johnson and Senator Sumner. [Washington Correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial.] i There is a good story "told about Senator Sumner's last visit to tho President, which I cannot withhold, because it shows that Mr. Johnson inherits, to some ea tent, the peculiar mental traits that Enabled his lamented pre? deoessor to look upon the brightest side of every picture, and frequently to sugar-coat the bitterest of his official pilla with a pleas ant witticism that tickled .the ear, ?nd yet was pregnant of political philosophy worthy ! of Alexander Hamilton. Mr. Sumner called ? on the President a few evenings since, and was immediately invited to a conference with him. Mr. Johnson asked him how he felt, and how he liked the political horizon. Mr. S. inhaled several cubic feet of the ambient, air, laid his hand upon that part of his outer garment which covers other men's hearts, ?xalted a ponderous sigh, rolled his luminous visual orbs, and said that he felt heavy and nad. Mr. Johnson naturally inquired the sause of his distress, and was answered that the condition of the freedmen was ominous jf great evil for the country. " We must do wmething for these freedmen, or the war sr:ii have been fought in vain. The whites }f the South aro as disloyal as ever and never leased denouncing the Union/' The President smiled and told the Massa chusetts Senator to be of goed che?r, that natters were getting along very well, not serhups as fast as we would like, bat as fast is all thing') considered we had a right to ?peet "And as for denouncing the Union, [ am very sorry to say. that's , true to a great iXtcnt in the South,, but you know they've ?cen doiny thal in Massachusetts too.'' The leight of the last clauFe was duly felt, and svoked a smile from the cavernous depths of | he despondent heart of the champion of reedorr, who next remarked that Southern vbites were continually insulting and abusing j he blacks in thc lately rebellious States. .Well," faid the President, " I know that's rue. too, but it you'll read the papers you'll ind that-up North, white men are very often bund abusing and insulting one another." 1 Yes," siid Mr.-, " but in thc South t is the infernal spirit of oligarchy and cast hat does it- Its nothing but an unjust ptc ijdice of race, that must be exterminated." ['ho President was not to be beaten, even ri th this sage and philanthropic suggestion, or h? replied in the twinkling or an eye, hat there was a good deal of this prejudice f race up North ; as was mapifett from the laired against the Irish and Germans exhibi cd every now und then. The bcivy hearted Senator soon found that he Pre>idcQt waa innre than a match f. r him, nd his lugubrious concern ft r thc freedmen ave way to a more cheerful spirit, which ad mitted of the discussion of more interesting jpics. ? -?-; $trange Affair in St. Louis. The Sr, Jyauis PamQQi'ul, qi the 34 'nBt i ontains tue following ; Charles Moritz is an unsophisticated bache >r"of thirty >ix. Ilaving served afull term i the army, where ho was successful in odging the rebel bullets, he considered him ,4f equal to almost any-p'nprot?nnr mA^ fosetzkatx toL-.? aili m tifeii?ir ? ?t?fo.-r ^ Moritz, therefore, called on bis friend, leo. Walther, who keeps a saloon at the amer of Morgan and Twenty First streets, nd offered Gejrgo fifty dollars to get bim a good, plump, fat and docile wife/' George ad no license as a matrimonial broker, but . being Christmas tim?, he thought be would* lay a little joke nt the expense of poor ?harley. He acquar ?ed several other friends rith his intention, and they entered into the anspiraey with good will. Among ita friends consulted hy ^Valther rere Joe ?ott^rald and Anton Jorgen. Joe ad a brothel rv ho was a smooth faced, rosy beaked boy, fat and plump as a head of ?tbbage, and full of mischief. Joe's brother .as dressed up in the gorgeous array of a ride, and a grave looking Hessian waa en aged to play the part of Justico of thc >eace, cpd tie the nuptial kHoi Morita was delighted with the appearance f his '' bride." Ile considered that he had btained "a great bargain," and at once ac epted her as his better half. A room in Valther's house was nicely scrubbed by orgen, and there the marriage ?oremony -as performed. Motiles was jo epetacies. 4s oon as the noose was fairly arond bis neck, e gave the " 'Squire " $$5 for his trouble, iresented $5 to Jorgen for scrubbing the oom, and made young Gottwald a present of ?15 os a bridal gift. The liberality of the happy man did not top here. He sent out and invited a num ber of acquaintances to the frolic, and spent ??75 for wines, cakes, and cigars. Tba spree ras kept up until a late hour, and when the rodding guests at last took their departure, doritz was informod that the Bister of his ?ride was very sick, and desired Mrs. Moritz o sit up with her that night ; it would bo aken as a favor if ho would remain at his ?ld quarters until morning, when he could tome and take bis wife home. Morilz reluctantly agreed to this arranger neut, but fearing something might be wrong, ie demanded of the Justice his marriage certificate. He was handed a card Containing ;he following word.? : " Reward of merit, pre tented to .Louis Feel ter, -by M. E. iSec^r, ;eachcr." With this document ia his pocket, il.'ritz retired to bed, thanking his good for aine that he had at last procured a youngand handsome wife. He slept but little, being feverish ?ifh anxiety, and fearful that he would wake up and Hud it all a dream. . Moritz was not a sluggard the next morn ing, but, bright and eirly, he arose and has tened over to Walther's house to fetch his bride. He wa3 informed that there was no such person there, and after going nearly iraay, and nearching all ovor the house, he was told that he had been made the victim i.f a practical joke. For two days-.- poor Moritz was confined to his roora, refusing to eat or drink, and disdaining all offers pf con solation, flo now' modi'ated revenge, and took the proper course to obtain it. He called the police force, and officers liossoau, Hickson and Volnupe arrested George Walther, Anton Jorgen a;id Joe Gottwald, on a charge of obtaining money under false pretences. The bagus Justice could not be found, and Joe's young brother, the "bride," was also missing. The three men were taken to the calaboose, and will be examined before the Recorder un a cuarge .of felony. They begin to realize the fact that a practical joke can be carried too far, and they will'be lucky if they escape without being bled to twice tho extent of their victim. .HST* An exchange says : Goneral Grant, last week, wai riding f4st from Georgetown to Wash ington, when he was overtaken by a batcher'? cart, which passed bim. Somewhat surprised, he put " Cincinnatus" to bis metal, but the butchur whipped up his nag, and soon completely beat Genoral Grant on tbat lino, leaving Cinci.poatuB far behind., Ibo General determined to own that butcbor's nag, and bis friends at last cacceuded in finding thu owner, wbo sold him to General Grant for $350 cash.

The New Bankrupt'Bill. -: The proposed National Bankrupt Act, wb has hean read twice in the House of Rep sentative?, and referred to a committee, i long document, which, would fill niue of th columns in small type. The Bill, as it n stands, gives the present United Slates Co jurisdiction in all cases arising under th? A and regulates the appointment, duties a powors of officers who are to act ia judie capacity under the supervision of tho Com and subject to their order, the practice in proceedings ia bankruptcy, and some .otb matters of merely professional interest. T Bill then provides for voluntary bankrupt* an the motion of thc bankrupt himself; ai involuntary bankruptcy, on thc motion of t bankrupt. Thc provisions are distinct as sack. I Io involuntary bankruptcy' it is providi that any person residing within the jurisdj :ion of the Udited States, owing debts prov ale under the Act exceeding $500 iu amour. :a*n apply by petition .to the Judge of tl udicial district in which he resides, sett ii orth his ability to pay his debts, and anne: ag a sworn schedule.of his debts, the imount and nature, with tho names and rcs lences pf bis creditor??, annexing also an ii rentory of all property of every kind in h jossession, or in which he has any interest md the filing of euch petition is to be an ai )f bankruptcy, and the petitioner shall b adjudged a bankrupt. The Judgo is then t ssue a warrant directing the marshal to lok Jossession of all the debtor's property ( ?very kind, and keen tho tame until tho ar loiutment cf an assignee, and directing hil o notify creditors to prove their debts. Aj ignee*s are to be chosen by the greater par n value of creditors, and such assignee* /hen approved by the Judge, take possessio! if the debtor's property and all booka-mn lapers relating- thereto, with certain sligh xceptions. . AU debts and liabilities existing, thougl tot matured or not ascertained in amouut a he time of the adjudication of bankruptcy nay be proved against the bankrupt's estate Ind all claims provable under the'Act can b< irosecuted in no other manner than un dei be Act, except for thc mero purpose of deci ing their amount. Ail claims are to bo pre ented on oath, and arc to bc investigated tidicially in case cither their amount. ot alidity is deputed. Tho assignees havepow?? Iso, under the supervision of the Courts, tc ell or redeem property, and to take v rioo's rescribed measures fdr tlie advantage of the state, and to bring and to defend suits on ehalf of the esl ate. "Wages due any opefativ?, clerk br house jrvant, to an amount not exceeding fifty ol?ais, are to huvc-a priority over all claims F individuals, and be first paid in full. At ic final, dividend claims are to be paid in ill in. the following order : FirM. Fees and jits of the proceedings. S?jond. All dues > the United States. Third.

Fifth.

No second discharge is to be granted to any ankrupt whoso estate is insufficient to pay iveuty.per cent, of tba claims against bim ithout thc consent of three fourths, in value, I his creditors. Ajid no third Wi.ar^c cac Q granted ju, f^ny case, ?ut a banktu.pt who as paid all claims existing at the ??tue of a revioua bankruptcy shall bp entitled to a isoharge aa though there hod been no pre i?us application. Creditors may oppose the iacharge, and have the grounds of their op osition triod by jury. All debts created by. dion of tho bankrupt in a judiciary capacity rc exempted fpo? tba operation of tie iacharge. Similar provisions are made as to bankiupt y proceedings on thc part of partnerships nd corporations. The proooodings In Involuntary bankruptcy n thc motion of the creditor?, differ fr>m hose in voluntary.bankruptcy simply in their omtnenceai?Ht. Whenever a debtor avoids ?gal process in an action for thc recovery of , debt, or damaud provable under the act, ir disposes of his property in fraud of bia reditors; or whenever a banker, merchant ir trader; fraudulently suspends and docs nv?t csume the payment of his commercial paper vithin fourteen -days, and in a largo class of (numerated ca3CS, thc debtor, on Iiis petition >f his creditors to the amouut of over two mildred and fifty dollars, shall bc adjudgod a )ankrupt. After the adjudication of bankruptcy, hree-fourths in value of the creditors can, inder the direction and approval of court, (rind up and settle the baukrnpt's estate in >uch manner as they may agree upon, and he estate is then vested in trustees, the .ights and duties of the trustees hoing sim! ar to those of the assignees under tho onli lary method of procedure ; and th.; discharge is to be in tho same form and cf the same iffect as though the-usual proceedings in bankruptcy were bad.-N.
