A NEW viriW OP RADICAL TACTICS.
* * * Exoopt in the ouso of tho Uni
ted States, there has boen great uniformity
in the history of tho suppression of rebellions
in modern times. First, thoro has been so
vero and ofton sanguinary punishment inflio
tod on tho ohiefs of tho revolt ; thon has suc
ceeded a period during which tho suooessful
ompiro bas enforced striot obocioooo to itself
from its subjugated dopondonoy ; and finally
has como a strong desire, growing .sometimes
out of policy, .sometime out of a sense of jus
tice, aud sometimes out of a mero omotiou, to
win its affections, or at all events its volunta
ry ncquio8oeuoo in accoinplishod fuots. Jftig
land is just at prosont fooling an almost pas
sionatc wish to bo reconciled to Ireland and
to bo beloved by tho natives of India j Aus
tria has done her best to cotvo to terms with
Hungary, aud there aro s'^ns that tho suffer
ings of Poland aro boanning to cause discom
fort and oompun^ion evcu in Russia. Tho
United Stutopsecni destined to on experience
of a diff?r?t kind. On tho morrow of tilo
conquit their treatment of tho Southern
louvers was marked by a gentleness which
will always be remembered to their honor.
But in the next stage of their relations with
the South, tho necessity for combining des
potic rule with something like the forms of
local self-government foreed them to adopt a
polioy Which has more than made up for their
abstinence from bloodshed. Nobody whoso
intelligence has not been impaired by the
habit of repeating formulas about universal
suffrage can doubt that the punishment inflio
ted on the Southern whites is far tho severest
which one community lias over i nfl io tod on
another. ' England governed Ireland through
ti minority which tho mass of tho Celtic pop?
ulation, however it might hate, never dreamed
Of despisingtho United States'rnle? the
S'outH through a oiajdrlty of1 negroes, cpnteuipt
for whom was almost n religion. with the
planter before tho attorn pt al s?cession. Wo

of their triumph if only they could havo do?
vised somo less degrading contrivance for tho
provisional govormnortt of tho South. Yot lt
is quito cortain that bloodshed is easily for
gottou ; personal outrage with tho greatest
difficulty. Tho Hungarian nobles appear to
have forgiven tho Emperor Franois Josoph
for his wholesale oxecution of their brethren ;
but nobody oau fail to seo that tho "irrecon
cilability" of Bo'tHO of tho most imminent of
Fronoh politicians is greatly duo to tho recol
lections of the personal dishonor to which
they wore subjected on tho memorable morn
ing of tho cou}) d'etat. At tho proscot nio
i mopt wo aro well awaro that nothing seems
less important to tho groat majority of tho
Northern people than that tho experiment
which they aro trying in thc South causes
exocssivo discomfort to a parcel of conquered
rebels; but they will probably horcaftor view
this exporiment with other eyes when there
comes tho inevitable waking to sympathy
and pity, and when, much about tho samo
time, it appears that the negroes, who aro the
instruments of puuishuiont, havo become not
only a Southern, but a Northern power,
weighing heavily in tho Ronlo whenever a na
tional decision hos to bc taken.
A LITTLE BIT OF KOMANCK.'-Although,
so far this Wlritnr the skie? have beon un

with continuous, in tense cold tho hunger and
rags of poverty, yet an occasional bleak, shaft
from the North transfixes a houseless wan

Karly on Friday morang a poor young
waif, apparently'of the past night, with bor
delicate linger sculptured relentlessly through
a thin cotton dress, wns found, td most furn
ished, leaning ngniust a lamp-post in a street
lending into ono of our principal thorough,
fares. Her ?uuditton, having been recognized
by a kiudly bouse maid who had been dusting
mots ac a neighboring door, tho wretched
sulfurer was humanely lcd into tho basement,
where, after sonic time, she was restored to
lifo and animation.
?..Take her up tenderly.''
Subsequent inquiries rovcalcd thc fact UMt
she was tho daughter of once rcspectublo und
wealthy parents who had lost over/thing
pride, virtue mid fortuno-in tl*? wine-cup,
uud who, recently dying papers, bad loft
her on that bitter Fridnv morning without a
homo, a hope or a cru-t Iii thc world. When
discovered sho wai? blindly groping her way
toward tho riv??' to ond her miseries rather
chun ontor ?pon a career of shanie.
Her ?ouohing arid painful story renching
tho <snr of tho lady of the bouse, she was sum
Kionod to her prosoncc, when, strnngo to tell,
it was ascertained beyond a shndow.of doubt,
that she was tho only child of a once dear
friend, who had boon lost sight of for years,
but who, through a strnngo interposition of|
Providonoo, wns now restored in thc person
of her daughter.-JV. Y. Post.
HABIT.-"I trust everything, under God,"

all difficulties upon tho deviation from a won

most ntrooious crimes aro to any of your lord

( TUE WAY THE MONEY ?OEB -From all
accounts, Washington is a gay pince (hts win
ter. What with balls, dinners, lunches, and
what not, the extravagance and display in
dress and equipage wore never before equalled.
Tho President, and bis Cabinet and certain
Senators aro living in a stylo of imperial lux
ury winch the paltry j salaries they re?oive do
not bogin to warrant There is no difficulty
in ascertaining where tho money comes from
to support all this magnificence. The Presi
dent's salary would not pay his wife's milli
nery and confectionery bills. Tho oariages
and horses in tho stables of tho Whito House
could not bo bought for his year's salary.
Tho insignificant pay of his different Secre
taries is not equal to their modo of lifo. The
samo may bo said of most of tho oiboo hold
ing gontry. They aro all living beyond their
legit?malo incomes, and sober folks oannotbut
think that tho over-taxed people ate paying,
through tho tuxes, for tho music, oysters,
boned turkeys, salads, sweet meats, wines, and
flowers required every night in the "upper
oirolcs" of the capitol. All is not "lovely"
whoo a Secretary gets eight and spends twenty
thousand a year. No wonder the investiga
tion of thc gold ring corruption brings to view
so muoh executive shame. Tho capital is,
indeed, an Augoan stable.
