Story ol Hie Green Carpet Bagger. A good story is lol J about a green ear; pet-bagger. who rome to Washington t?me time last session with n Considerable pile of 'greenbacks, and nun., ci'-us cunning, fell in one night with a set .if cappers and ropers for a faro bank not far from the National Hotel. They took him around in.a very genteel way, and Ir?at? d' him copiously, and showed him some sights} and thent when they thought tbe^propc? time bad arrived, proposed lo fight a little game of the tiger. The carpct-bac^r nothing loath, followed them to their headquarters ; and in order to make it ap pear perfectly fair, they proposed that the man who had the largest amount of monev should be the- dealer. The green carpet" bagger revealed his pile, which thc crowd was very anxious to see, and to their de light it proved the biggest pile. r You are to be dealer !" cried all. " Oh, no, boys.," protested thc green carpet-bagger, "1 can't deal; I don't know, anything about it. I've bucked many a time, but I've never dealt ; can't deal/' . They all protested that as .he had the biggest, pile, and had .won the -chance, he must be the dealer. " No, no!" cried the green carpet-bag ger. "Wgjv? ten dollars,, twenty dol lars, y ea? fifty 'dollars, ' to any1 Snan <who wrll deal in my place. Thesca&dnwstedtlmt heshonlddeal. He took up the Cirds in an awkward way, <h trifled them with many ? grimace', and is he was about to put the' curds into the box from which they were to b?-drawn, bis hand accidentally slipped and reveal ed, under the top card, the king of hearts ?o that flicy-Sdl sawpit, Eijeryigambler inmediately ?opp?r?dbh the kj?gb?' heart?. The green- carpet-bugger at -otice cried jut : " Now, now, come boys, come, this won't lo ;. you're taking the"- advantage of me. 1'hcre is something wrong, or you wouldn't ill bet in 1 it way together. 'I won't play .wless-1 twdhaW another shuffle.'" They all insisted that the game should ;o on just as it was,.and after many pro testations that it was not a fair thing to uke in a stranger so, the green carpet jagger proceeded to de?L lle.^yp^ii off ?ie top canl, and. there )encrrth:, -rnir?--~-?n?ugh-, ' -was 4\te~ king off-j learts. . They all pushed forward to sweep off he monev, Trot the very green carpet* nude splits. " I'll take half that pile, boys," said he greenest of green carpet-baggers. And ie passed out with a mild expression of .ountenance to look at the statue of Frec lotn on the summit of the capitol. They >kvy no more with green carpet-baggers here. \dvice to those Who llave Nothing to D?. The following which we clip from the oral columns of an exchange, WQ com nrud kr the careful, sober reflection of young men who apparently have '.' noth ing to do !"' A gentleman was speaking yesterday, )f the number of boys and very young men that are to be found loafing around the saloons, especially on Saturday even ings. He truthfully said, that in this way they formed habits that were their zreat drawback through the rest of their lives. Businessmen see them spending their lime in this way, and.vefuse. to em ploy them; and while the steady, sober, in dustrious youth are making rapid advance ment, thrice who spend ' their, evenings around the saloons, remain where they were, ov co backward. If they were wise, they would avoid contracting habit* of drinking, card play ing, loafing, and such evils. >Vh< li they get older they^Vviir see th?t ilirfv would have been better off never to bave formed the habits. Then they will try to break them, and souio will succeed, ami brea!-: them, while others wiil fail. Anyway, it wiil be a good deal of fighting .for of them-battles that they evil avid hy starting right now. B: :tles. too, that will demand some of the energies that they ought to devote-to other matter*. Hoys be satisfied with thc experience.-ol other*. Do n?.t'm:.l:e rsprnments on yourselves. No ni??i.i v< r reyrrttcH ?hit he hid spent his youth ami young manhood ia useful, noble pursuits ; but-how many have rc netted that theirs had been spent in last living? No mun ever regretted having never " sowed any wild,oats;" but .h-w many have spent"their lives in anguish of spirit, because they .sowed so profusely in tlieir vouth. fl " Babies.

The Presidential Tickets. Already there" are two Presidential tick ets in the field, with the prospect of two more at least, and possibly three, which will make things lively next falL As 'al ready announced by telegraph, thVJjp^or: Reform Convention; which met at Colum bas, Ohio, hos nominated Judge David ?ffvis, of the Uhr^StatesSupreme Court, far President, ??^Gov^-noT, Jpel Parker, of New Jersey, for vice-President, and Judge Davis has accepted the nomination on the ground that " the chief .magistracy of the republic should neither be sought nor javelined* by ah American- .ci til? n." ' ftj * BIOGRAPHY OF^JuDGE DAVIS? J?3g??Jar?8 wast?rn in Cecil County, ivld., on March 9th, 1815. He graduated at Kenyon College, Ohio, in 1832, and subsequently studied law in Massachu setts, and also at the Law School in New Haven, Conn. Removing to Illinois in 1835, he was admitted to tue baryand soon after settled at Bloomington, in the prac tice of his profession. He was at one time a conservative Henry Clay Whig. In 1844 he was elected to the State legisla ture, in 1847 served aa a member of the State Constitutional Convention of that year, and in 1848 was elected judge'of the eighth judicial district of the State. In 1S55, and again in 1861, he was re-elected 1 o this position. He hod long been an in timate and personal friend of Mr. Lincoln,, ?nd as a delegate-to the j hicago Conven tion of 1860, oad a large share in securing his nomination for the Presidency. The two had been thrown much together by thc practice of their profession in a thinly populated country, and the intimacy be tween t hem was of the closest . and .most | confidential character. Just as Judge. Davis was entering upon his third term as circuit judge, in illinois he was, in 1S62, appointed by Mr. Lincoln to thc position of associate judge of the Supreme Court of thc United States, whith position he still holds. Mr. Lincoln also appointed him his executor, and the estate , of the President was wound up by Judge Davis. At tho time of the latter's apV pointaient to the Supreme Bench, he was an avowed Republican, bur of late yearn his tendencies nave-;been decidedly . con servative, und tbere~\vr.s considerable talk of his being ail available candidate for the Presidency on the Democratic ticket. His course on the legal-tender cases, however I -he voted with the majority in May of last year, holding tho legal-tender act to be constitutional-has served to estrange ??91 frorp. the Democracy, although "he has fiequentlv been mentioned during the past few montlis as a possible Republican can didate who would receive thc support of the "passive policy" Democrats against General Grant, Judge Davis is a man of | large fortune, and personally is above re proach. -But he Hhs never been regarded as a jurist of commanding ability. GOVERNOtt JOEL PARKER. Joel Parker, thc nominee for'Vioc-Presi Jent, is th?- present Governor of New .1er-1 ley, elected .lost fall - by si-'*' thuusand^iua fofHyi and a life-long Democrat He has not indicated whether he will accept tim nomination for Vice-Pr?sident, though he s expected to announce bis acceptance.of the nomination by a speech at u ratifica-' rte^^?Us-b?J?la ia fa Yuri* nr?rfc bithertq been identified with the distinct ive labor organization. During the war A secession Governor Parker was popu Imly known os fkc " War Governor." The Washington correspondent of the Kew York Tribune of Saturday says: Thc administration party is more de moralized than ?? has ever before been, though, nuder ordinary circumstances, they would pay little or no attention to anything that the so-called Labor Re formers might do. The wisdom which it is generally admitted by politicians they have displayed in their choice of eandi datos, the possibility that the convention at Cincinnati will endorse thc same ticket, and ibo announcement "by some leading Democrats that they believe the great muss of their friends could be united in thc Sup port of Davis and Parker, have frightened thc shrewder of thc friends of General Grant, and some of them are admitting, privately, to-night, that, if the Democrats and all' of the anti-Grant Republicans uuite on Davis and Parker, thc nominee of the Philadelphia Convention will have no easv task before him, even though he have the whole of the immense patronage of the Federal Government to back him. Thc Chicago Times (Dem.) says that this Labor Reform nomination "is the most important event that has transpired in the Presidential campaign of thc pres ent year. It is one of many evidences that arc "observable of a spontaneous feeling throughout thc country in favor of the se lection of some able and eminent citizen and his elevation to the Presidency by the co-operating support of all thc people who would guard (he country against another tenn of calamitous corruption and misrule." ? Tho Harrisburg Patriot (Dem.) says: "The Labor Reformers have disappointed their enemies" uud have exceeded the ex pectations of their friends in the wisdom of their choice. Tn May next the Reform Republicans will'meet in Cincinnati, and tiley will enthusiastically ratify the Co lumbus nominations. Thus will two great elements of the opposition to the adminis tration be organized and in the field for thc campaign." The Pittsburg Post (Democrat) says: "This Labor Reform platform is certainly comprehensive enough to meet the de mands of all, and the candidates are well fitted for thc places for which they are named. But these facts are no euurantee that success ?3 at all likely to Follow the labors of the convention, or that the ticket will receive a systematic support in half a dozen States in the Union. Parties are not made up of tbe.sudden combinations of unobjectionable principles, but are ag gregated by slow and laborious processes. True, if one of the great parties of the country was in process of rapid segrega tion at this time, and its members had no rallying point-?as was thc case with the Know Nothing party in the North, imme diately preceding - the Presidential carn Sftign of 18-36-such a platform would no oubt attract large masses of voters. But this is not the case at this juncture, not withstanding the fact that there is a strong mutiny in rhe Republican camp. The mutineers in this case have already se lected their rallying point, as is always the case with revolutionists who revolutionize systematically." Thc National Prohibition Convention, which also met at Columbus, nominated. Jas. BL Jr,, of Pennsylvania, for President/* and John Russell, of Michigan, for Vice'1 President. The press generally is so far silent as r< -gards the action of this convention, in n instances making scarcely more than "m< mention" of it The New Yprk Hen argues that there are but few temper?i Dem?crata who would leave their pg <Vote for a temperance ticket, while Fv Wy it will take fifty thousand votes" ? the .Republican party." !

TtfdftV J ^vJW^# We-hkJUi'Vi The Future qf jt&?sta. From the Cbnstiimtgtolist. At no time since the waS?aused has the future prosperity of Augu^pi appeared sc promising or so well assured as it -Joes at this -time. The enterprises -which have been successfully formca^fe'thosein p'ro cess of completion, have, inris true, been organized too slow andto^?nretly to meet the approval of the impJmjftt. But, un mindful of tho taunt o? jWjji&m, our cap ita hs ts and business merafcave gathered strength slowly and actetffitith delibera tion. A few facts in regard to what ?aa been accomplished in thc past two years |:and what ia now being dBge to forward ihe prosperity of our ci'tj^ will convince the most skeptical, or the moat obdurate croaker, that Augusta i??rot dead, neither does ber-people intend tbilHshe shall col lapse into a lethargic condition. We have had three new banks established within two years mainly, if not. solely, on Au gusta capital. The Commercial Insur ance Company has been formed and ia in successful operation, gw$ng promise of keeping at home many thousand dollars annually that heretofore^wj?? sent away from our city. Then the' wnrglejr G otton Mills have been put in ?jp??ktioni within the past year, in which Augusta capital is embarked and which is directed by one of our citizen.1, aa President. I .Next, we note the grand enterprise of enlarging the ca nal-contracts nave been let and signed the cost of which will be fully four, hun- ! dred thousand dollars. The undertaking of this improvement alone is sufficient to. warrant a claim that Augusta is the most enterprising city South, coirjunction with the enlargement ?f,ihe canal is the effort being made, which ajril undoubtedly be surxessiul, sooner or later; of erecting another cotton mill. Th?^successful for mation of thc Ice Manufacturing Compa ny is a gratifying proof qfvprogress; ofTby it a large amount of money will'be saved annually, and lastly the Augusta. Real Es tate and Building Association will .soon give a fresh impetus to flj?'?mprovenjerjt3 of tho city and greatly- add tb ita prosper ity by affording an opportunity to obtain j homes on thc very best terms that could, be required. It is an augury of success that these j enterprises have been formed wkh delib eration, and are based on. actual capital furnished by, our people. Their success.! will be an assurance or other and greater enterprises. With these new co-operative efforts, we may mention the well known Augusta Factory ; also the Graniteville Factory and Bath Paper Mills, in which Augusta capital is embarked, located in South Car olina, and which arc magaged to some ex tent by our citizens: W?j therefore, re peat that the future of Augusta appears j more promising than for years past. EXTRAORDINARY BREACH OF PROMISE CASI:.-There ia now, if not pending,- at J leasji impending, in Phiiadc-lpnia, one of thc oddest suits ever brought befare n civilized and Christian-tribunal. A. is a young gentleman of that city ; 13.- a young lady of Boston. Theyjvniet, loved and agreed to wed. After -thc engagement, B. became a convert to Fri? Love, and no?i fied A. that, while her feeling toward him remained the same, only, if anything, a | little " more BO." she Cuuld.not be a party ipritsuinaL^ltfrK B. v?i?.jurm. ?trg?eU that, in tllfr?bscnce of alegafoon?T,^ he would be more devoted because more anxious to retain her love; and she toidi him frankly that if ever she loved anoth er better than him. she would have to "follow her heart," A. demurred to this view of tire holy estate, and regarded the engagement as "off. But B now sue* him lor a breach of promise. He is still willing and anxious to marry her in the j conventional maimer, hut wholly averse to making her his ingress. She has a soul above the conventionalities, licenses, and parsons, and " sid ," and she rel uses to become Mrs. A. on my (erins but her own. If the case cvei conies to trial we shall watch with son^ curiosity to see what the Philadelphia lawyers make out*j A.'s precise offence tohavc been. SLIGHTLY ACRIMOMOCS-The Toronto Leader says that A ur rican politicians ari strangers to good fain and fair dealing, and comes to the concusi?n that after " all the brag and bluster,' there will be no war, simply because Brother Johnathan cannot alford to go to war, because those.
