A. worthy citizen of Evanaville, Md., undertook to ttim his beard at short time since, and by a slip of the sci.tors bpoiled the out. He trnimed a lttle n,o-e, and still mire, but it would look lapided ; so lae went to the barber and got ehaved for the firet tiwe in twelve )ears. He was very busy, ated the business detained him in his office until a late hour of the ijight, and when he went home he found that his f.niily had retired. This was not tan uusual ocourrei.ce, so lie bilently entered by means of a pass key, sought his new room, and undressed without lighting the gas. He had hardly got into bed when his wife astonished him by uttering a loud and prolonged scream. le was very much alarmed for her, and fear ed she had lost her resasou. He im plured her to tell him what was the matter. At the sound of his voice, she soreas. ed 'Oh I EdwArd, come quick! and save me." "I am here, dear, said he, but she only screamed the louder at his words. Hie sprang out of bed, rand had just aut-nk a light, when his brother-in law, a muscular six-footer, rushed into the room and -ired a revolver a t his head. Luoki'y ir, missed, baut his fist did not, for in a minute a pale faced man, with a long white rolbe, stnggered unider a blow that doubled the size of his organ of comparison. "My God I" exclnamed the hus band, "are you all crazy ?1" "lee4 nay heart I" exclaimed the mu-o-ular brothee-in-.law, "if it ain't Ned him-elf I Why, what ont earth tenupted y'au to get yourself up in "Wbuaat st)let ?" asked the much abhused busb.mnd, as he. rubbed the grow;tng lumps eon his forehead.

Of course a little explanation brought the various affairs all right, but it took so muoh time to explain, and for the contusion on hii forehead toget well, that the aforesaid citizen vo*s lie will never shave again, as lie conaiders it a habit dangerous to peace, and even to life. The People In Advance of the Politilans. It is but natural that the profised politician should be slow and cautious in changing his poition as to ques tious of party and policy. The dash. ing politiciun, who loves to be sensa. tional, and aspires to notoriety, often changites from no higher motive thTan to exhibit a certain flaehy talent, and to attract attention to novelties of opin ion and action. The ardent egotist may do the same thing from a mere restlessness at following prudent, piodding leaders in a beaten track, and prefeis to have a following of biia own, if it be but a curporal's guard, to ei1,g lost sight of in the eowd. The active brained theorist may to the same, beenuse his re-tless mitid is ever dissatisfied with things as they are viewed by the oidinary thinker. lut the average .oliticiau loves political iufluet.ce, 1ndl having oequir. ed a litte, nurves it carefully as so much cinital ttook, and will nu't risk ik by taking pusitin in advance of public sentilmient. Ile is toro i.,. liined to hold bauk and w,.tuh lie popular current and theu fall in with it. But sometines these would be lead era, but aeal tii:Lmors, find thom solves behind the populir sentiment.

They tire ready to take up Greeley as a better man than Giant., and ass the mian io.t likely to defeat Grant. They atre not afraid of the victory, if neihieved being turned against them. But they have a profound appteciation of a four years I ng,-r domination of the present arbitrary dytnasty. Politician. may debire to wait till the Baltimore Convention mcuts he fore tdking position ; but. the pe--plo have already made ip their winds, and they will insist upon their wishes being carried out.

Several Virginia banks have a claim before the Senate Committee etn Claimas for about $100,000 in specie which was captured withI Jeff. Davis and was turned over to the TAreasury Departme t in 1865. In 1866 Preaident .Johnson ordered the money to be paid to the climants, hut on consultation with Secretary Stanton, General 8pinner, the United States T1reassurer refused to obey the order on the ground that the money captured was the property not of banks but of the Confederate Govern ment. In response to a letter of in. quiry by the Secretary of the Treus ury, General i pinner wrote a letter adducing ploof to shiow that the money wast the property of the Con. federate government, and that the olainmants have no rightful title to it. The letters will be submitted to the Senate Claims Committee for consid eration. -Changes la the lank rapt Law, Con~gress, Tuesday, passed a bill amendatory of the batikrapt) nai.

Mr. Ben nett wits born at New Mill, Keith Buauffahirv, Scotland, in the year 1795. making 77 years of ago at thetime oi his denth. At the age of fifteen I, went to Aberdeen and entered t, R1omtan Catholic seminary, with the uit im te purpose of becoming a priest, but he abandoned the idea, and ins 1819, in company with a young friend, took I aiwago for Halifax, and sooi, after reached Portland, b1o., and from thence went to Boston, where lie found omiployment as a prQof reader in the publishing house of Wells & Lily. In 1822 lie went to Now York, and a ter a brief connection with the piress there, went to Charletton as a trauslatur of Spntidh-American pa. pers for the Charlestop Courier.

All the eculh Carolina Railroads Annex. ed by the Pelnylva ia Railroad Company. The Pennsylvnnia, Railroad Conm. paliy, sys tie New York Daily Bul itiin, has fuid an, ther field for it. enteipie. Its latest exploit is the puruliaso of the Western North Caro. lina Railroad, with its dependencies, which include the control of all the luiaioade in the State, together with the contecting links North and South of that State. The Wetern North Carolina IRail. road, Eastern Division, extend from Q -isbury to Aahville, a distnoe of 142 meiles. Trho object of' the Penn slyvania Company in purchasing the road was, no doubt with a view of top. ping the Southern railrnad system at (battnoogn, bay the Trenneasee ap proacheor. Tlhiere is every reason to anticipate that the WVestorn Division fi-om Aahville to the State line of Tennessee, a distance of 130 miles, will be immediately constructed. The struggle in Mlexico is new mainly coinfi.ied to the northern part of the country.

V'iibano a1w b4 he peo-le wore rob. bed in the naae of the great Repobli. oan party, ad heid the co irage to lenounce thoobbery. Other nen of influence in tie North were induced to look at thiqu-stiou with impartial eyes, and thle'tore they looked, the more they *'era astounded at the mnigoverunent of the South. The Nation, a Reptblican Journal, waits to know what seivice the carpet-bag gers "have Vendered the country, tbat we should grant thetn the mo nopoly of robbing the rebels." The question is as pertinent as it is diffi cult to answer. The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher now comes to the front with an earnest plea for the South. In the last number of the Cha i-tian Union, he reviews the wholo matter ably and di-parslonately. Hie point out how the South was exhausted by the war, how it yielded as a man drops from'ex'ustion. On the heel ef financial ruiu, trod a total disir rangeuent of the system of lab or; The iymmediato consequence was to greatly paralyze the industry of the whole section. Then oanie a failure of crop after crop, and thd Southern people were poor indeed. But this was not all. The crowning burden was tuisgovernment. The State governments fell into the hunds of "ignoriant, and knavish nion." Public money has been wasted and stoloo, aud'a pToud and spirited populution have seen their -plaoes of -tru-s and honror 6:led by foreign adventurers aild uooducated freedmues." When men likeo Mr. Greeley and Mr. heeher earnestly demand a eh..nge in the government of the 8 uthern States, turely deliverance is close at hand, for no two mnen are mnore trusted and respeoted by the Northern people at large. The Southern peeple have stood up nobly under .the heavy -burdens- imposed upon thesim, and they have proved themselves worthy of the high honors of American citizenship. Though crushed as proud people have seldom heen crushed, they lbrve not folded their hands and q iiatly drifted ou upon the bltok ocean of despair. Thcy have worked with energy, and heaped up spoil for the plunderers. The Inight has been long and dark, and now it is full time thait the day began to dawn.-ew York 7anf, Field ana Farm.

While the latter P-as thus lying sonseleses, the negro went off, and having out a tough stiuk and sharpened the point, he retrned to the prostrate man and jobbed It into the lattct's hbcast. The point entered between the ribs, just below the heart, inflicting a serious end, it is thought, fatal wound. A physician was called iu and afforded every a.ssatance, hat ho give it as his opinion that the wound was bleeding internally, and that the wvounded oman could not live.

The fugitive, lie also understood, took a carriage in this city and drove .to Monteith, about four miles from town on the Ceutrul Rull Road. Aecompanied by Constable Louis Eudro, he immediately started in pursuit, and watobed the different Btationa near this city to see whether the fugitive would come aboard or leave the train. But no one was seon answering the description of the miss ing man. However, they thought that it were possiblo for the offender to have gone on a preceding tnain, and therefore it was determinod to follow bim to ;harleston. After reaehiug the South Carolina side of the river the pursuers resolved to go forward into a sinoking car, and ror the curiosity of the thing, perhaps lo see if any person were abroad whom they kne*. On reaching the smoking oar, where all but one were colored people, our young lawyer aud his constable friend were suprised to see the white man leave the oar quickly by the other door, and to leap from the plitforim through a trestle bridge, the train go. ing at the rate of nearly twenty miles an hour. Below the trestle there is an extensive swamp,' and it was not iteortainied whether the man struok tho trestle or sunk in the swanup. To make the matter all the,, more surprising the Constuble was positive that the individaal was not the 1nan be was after, and he was therefore unable to account for the sudden and taring leap. However, it was deci. ied to search the baggage of the miss. ing inan, but nothing was found to identify it as the property of the per ion of whom they were in pursuit. Yesterday morning the lawyer and sonatable'Lad returned to the cit,y without having succeeded in their trip and almost worse than confounded at the poiformance of the unknown man who had leaped in such a desperate manner from the traiu. Evidently the idividual know the constable, and fancied that he was being pursued, and was about to be arrested. If such wvere not his motive for the rash act the man was crazy. The constable, however, determined to clear away the mystery, and be fore noon yesterday learned that two Spaniards had buen robbed of b,. tween three and four hundred dollars in greenbacks of various denouina. tions. lie also learned that the party who committed the robbery was at one time in the employ of a certain firm now doing business on Byran-itreet, West of the Plariters' Hotel, and that the two Spainiads had permitted the offender to sleep in their room, with the above result. Up to last unight no one could inform us whether the fugitive escaped from the trestle witho6t injury, or whether he completely buried himself in the mud by the force of the leap from the train.-Savanna ( Ga.)

I think with imilton and De Witt Clinton that the duty of government should not be mierely to reinforce the hang. man and the thief taker. Honoreveryt thing that honorb intelligence. Col. lgs are the great fountains from which spring an educated people. Education is the support of a journal. ism which is not the echo of courtg and cabinets, nor fostered by ofiloial patronage. An illiterate people could not support our institutions. Those are founded in the school room. When that falls into disrepute despo. tisn is not far off. Honor to every thing that diffuses intelligence, honor to everything that disseminates edu cation. Honor them as foundations of free institutions and the life of a free people. Republicans for Greelry. The Enquirer wants to know the strength of Mr. Greeley among Re piblicans. we quote from the Utica (N. Y.) Observer : "Tho Republican feeling In favor of Greeley is not stronger, but it is more freeley expressed, in the coun try than in the city. From a hundrod sources we have learned during the patst three weeks that in the villiages and fAroing districts of oentral New York scores of men who have been steady supporters of the Republican Adiministration heretofore-men who took no interest in the Liberal move ment when it was inaugurated-are how open in their advocacy of Greo ley. These citizens could not by any stretch of the imagination be convert ed into "office-seekers" or "sore heads." They are the thoughtful, hard working class, with nio other ambition than to contribute their share towards sustaining and securing a gool government." 4W . df The Grantn-mner War. Messrs. Carpeniter and Logan have replied to the severe assault of Sum ner upon Grant. Senator Car penter said that Sumner'saspoeeh whfoh he presumed was intended to be in imita. ai of liurke's indictment of Warren Ilastings, "exceeds as much in mcas.. utres and imalignity Burke' effort as it falls below it in eloquence and grandeur.'' Ile then proceeded to renew the various charges made in' the speech of Sumner on the Presi dent. lio seeks to explain away all 'of points made bay Sumaner, and eon eludes with a denial of Sumner'. st atement as to Stanton's 'remark that ho had discovered that Grant could niot govern the country. Senator Logan denounced Sumner. Ie spoke of that Senator's ingratitude towards the great loader of t he armies who had destroyed the it'stltution of slavory and saved the life of the na tion. The war thus wages fiercely within the lepublican lines, and the issue Is bettweent armse and the foga.--Care.
