There wa^ four inches of snow on the roof, and it rtvas froze so'that there was a .right'smart crust Of . ice on it, and the inooh- was shini?' bright,- ami -we coiild-see them cats like daylight.

A Good Joke on Grant.?uMack" tells the following:- This is* as good'a place as any to tell what .1 conceive to bo a good joke at Grant's expense perpetrated by so grave a person as Attorney Geneial Stati bury. My authority is unquestionable-,.as irMuct; it always is. Soon after Grant'* accession to the cabinet he brought up a proposition, in cabinet meeting, in regard to the abolition of whipping, as a punish ment for crime, in the South. The whip? ping post, he said, was a relic of barbarism, and it ought be abolished; All the cabinet officers agreed on that point, but they differed as to the propriety of interfering against the penal laws of a State. Mich punishment, was being gradually abolished I anyhow, and would soon.disappear entire- ' ly. But Grant believed* that 'something : ought to-be done by. the army to prevent j its continuance. It-was so barbarous that i it onght to be tolgftued a day |i.ii?rer. ? yStanbery glanced iWffiv ge. end, and saiil - in.a-.quiet way: "I believe you still buck ' and gag men and tie them up by the lhuuil?s io^ihe army, within a mile of this house, don't you ?' * i "YVs,'' the general saidv"that had to be ' done some titnes." j ''Well, it seems to me," replied Stanbery, -?that it's a little w-orse to buck and gag a maa for getting tipsy than to whip him tor larceny. If yourhud.to choose, would yon rather be whipped or gagged V The general ' ad to acknowledge that, as between the two, he'd *afce the whipping, and'he postponed'fulher remarks on the barbarism of the 'whipping post to some future jutetiag. 1 i ' '?

The reporter of ihe Raleigh Sentinel. whosUetfhes the proceedings of tiie North Carolina Bones and Banjo Contention, in his classification of mem Hers, culled .the black members ? negroes.'' For tIiis he has been threatened with expulsion from the ball. Commenting on the action of t e ( otivehtion, the New York Journal of Commerce congratulates itself that the authority ol the North Carolina Conven? tion docs not reach beyond the limits ol that State, and that the people of the North are ind under the necessity of ??bunting up" delicate euphonising to suit "the fastidious tastes of the members id" "that body." It becomes a question whetller the po lilirtd and social revolution wine ? ?adi cuiisiu is now attempting is to be allowed to tak-o- a literary turn ami subvert our slau.mrd dictionaries. It appears to be aiming at the authority of the Lexico? graphers, and to threaten, what all New England has until now been proud of. the fame and the ascendancy of the learned Noah Webs I er. We call a horse a horse, a man a man. the whiles Caucasians, the blacks Negroes Turning to Webster's dictionary, we find.the following: "N-tnito?a black man : especially one '?of a race of black or very dark persons, ?who inhabit the greater part of Africa, ??and are distinguished by crisped or curly ??hair, fiat noses, high check bones, and "thick, protruding lips.'' This is a definition.of a New England Lexicographer, made before the Recon? struction Hill was passed giving suffrage to the- negroes. Uns that act changed' the meaning of the word ? There was a very greu* man of Eng? land, who abhorred the slave trade, and always manifested a profound sympathy, for t'lVe African savages. This great man was the learned Dr. Samuel;Johnson, the author of* ' Johnson's- Dii'tionnry of the English language." He'had tor years a negro servant named Francis Barber, to whom he le't the hulk of his property, and after uatuing;him in his will, he added ??'negro." Dr. Johnson, of England) and Noah Webster, of Massachusetts, were our most eminent Lexicographers, and wo have that authority for calling a black man a negro. Down with the dictionaries; exclaim tiie Radicals?a hhn-k man is riot a negro! What, then, we ask. is lie? He is not an ape, a gorilla, an indian or a white man. If not a negro, what is he? Among the numerous wants treated by Radicalism is ? lie wftL, e>[ a new dielienary. j The Oldest Man in America.. The Detroit Post gives the following ac? count of a man who lives in that city, aged 114 years : In a low cabin at the .upper end of a narrow alley, branching oft' from Fourth street east," between Hastings and An? tonie streets, there dwells a poor negro, known among his kindred'as "Old Father Robinson." It.is customary to apply the appellation "old " to those who have pass? ed their sixtieth year, but in case of Rob? inson the adjective requires an additional one to qualify it. for being now in his 114 year, he is not only very old, but is, doubt? less, best entitled to the oft repeated phrase, the oldest inhabitant." Nor is his-remarkable longevity the sole feature in this aged negro. Unlike many, Iiis fac? ulties have been retained unimpaired !? Up to this week his vision was nndimmed and his hearing unusually acute, but du? ring the last few day*-he has faiicd: rapid? ly until in his own expressive language, " the clock is almost run down." Robinson was born in August, 1753, on the plantation of Col. Du Chiclle, in East Maryland.. Through the war of the Rev? olution, Robinson followed the fortunes of his master, serving him in the capacity of body guard. It was interesting to sit and listen to this old man a few months ago, .befbie the film of death had obscured, his mental vision, and hear him tell ot the ex? ploits of the Revolutionary soldiers, and describe the terrible battle scenes th'ough which he had passed. A saber cut on the top of his head and the loss of a forcfin ger are the mementoes of his valor. With especial pleasure he would relate how the British army surrendered at Yorktown, and would depict the scene when the proud Lord Cornwallis delivered up his sword to Gen. Washington. In the battle of New Orleans, fought on January 8, 1815, when General Jackson overthrew the British host under Packcn ham, Robinson also participated in the same capacity as in the Revolutionary war. A century is a long period to look back upon, yet Robinson could describe the events of. his youth with clearness and vigor, which always rendered them inter? esting to- his auditors.. In his humble cabin.many of our respectable and "wealthy citizens have frequently assembled to min? ister to- his-feeble wants, in return for which he would repeat the sto'y of his life, and relate incidents of- the several crises through which the nation has passed from its struggling infancy to its present grand proportion. As tiie reward of his faithful services, Robinson- was manumitted some forty years ago. lie lias been married several times-, but his children and his "wives were separated from him; Ilia- present'wife, with whom he has-been living over twen? ty years, is fifty-nine years oldj lie being nearly double her age. When over eighty years of age he was still a robust1 man, six feet in height, and quite erect. Such is the result of a tem? perate and moral life. At an early period he became connected with the Wesleyan Methodists," of which Church he is still a member. Christian men, white and ' black, frequently stand beside his couch, and the impression left upon them all is that Robinson has built his hope on a sure foundation. One hundred and fourteen years !' Few would wish to live so long. Life is sweet, and men will cling to it with blind and struggling tenacity, but the ^.majority would be willing to "fall asleep," before a century had passed over their heads. No longer is there left anything to'bind us to earth, and the soul then naturally desires to return to the God whogave it. Congress and the Supreme Court. The attempt which has been made by a majority in the House of Representatives to prevent a decision by the Supreme Court against the constitutionality of the Reconstruction Acts, has been condemned throughout the countn. A large number of papers in the Republican connection have denounced" it, and even the most Radical organs cd'the party Have done lit? tle more than feebly to apologize for it. It must not be supposed, however,, that this result has had any salutary effect upon the minds of those who originated the scheme. The new measure which has since been prepared by Thad. Stephens (published by us yesterday,) is not pre? sented as a substitute with any deference to the prevalent popular condemnation of the former project, for it,avows-, in express terms, the object for- which the first bill was covertly, contrived. Mr. Stevens and some wf'his Radical coadjutors are sharp enough-to sec that the original proposi? tion must'fall by its own weights An un? constitutional law would have no efFeot in securing another of the same character from judicial condemnation.. The new measure, it will be seen, forbids the ap? peal to the Supreme. Court of any ca-e arising under the illegal action of Con? gress in the establishment of a military despotism in a part of the United Slates. This is both a confession that the acts referred to arc unconstitutional, and the avowal of a determination to enforce tiium. at all hazards. But no matter how trying such desperate measures may be, they can only be met fairly at the polls, and the people must possess their souls in patience until the remedy is in their hands. The lesson will not be without its uses. When we portrayed the character of that Radi? calism now throwing off all disguise; some of our readers thought that the picture was overdrawn. They can now see its deformity for themselves,, and are not likely to be enchanted with the revelation. The Conservative portion of the dominant party are reaping the bitter fruit of their own sowing, and'we trust that they will "be-wiser fur all the time to come.:?Journal of Commerce. -4* Our Future Hope. When we speak of a restoration of all our rights under the Constitution, except slavery, some of our people smile, and think we are over-sanguine. It is some consolation to know that we arc not by any means alone. Read- what the Hon. Mr. Brooks of New York said a few days ago in a speech delivered by him in the V. S. House of Representatives: 14 We intend to undo what has been done by this Congress} and- we shall soon? er or later, have the power within the walls of the House to undo it all. These proceedings in Ohio and New Jersey are but the beginning of the revolution lias already' made its appearance else where; aud prerogatives, and powers which the majority in this House is now assuming in the moat revolutionary man? ner we intend to make use of to undo all these revolutionary and- violent proceed? ings. So the honorable gentleman from Massachusetts might as well make up his mind to see the beginning of this great reactionary movement. We do not intend to deprive the negroes of the South of their liberty. We"intend to allow them a five-fifths representation, not a three-fifths one, which the negroes in the North are having; But we do not intend to allow, 30 far as we c an help it, the people of the North to be brought into negro co-part? nership in government on the floor of this House, or to be ruled by black majorities, by rottenborough negro constituencies in the South. We do not intend to be ruled by any such government as that, and all the pro? cesses of legislation by which that has been reached, or is to be reached.? Through State Legislatures, as- in Ohio; through State action, as iu New Jersey; through 50,000 popular majority in my own State, to be increased next year to 100,000. If this House goes on with those proceedings, we intend to undo them all. I repeat, that everything which has been done is to be undone. The voice of the people is no longer heard in whispers, but m-the loud roar ot the whirlwind, coming from all parts of the country; and it will sooner or later unseat a large majority of those who-now oonstitute the majority on this floor, putting in their places the De? mocracy of the country. If t he statistics of elections are examined even now, it will he found that a large majority of members on this side of the House" hold their seats here and vote here on these bills who no longer represent their con? stituents, but are acting in utter defiance of the people who sent them here."
