A Good Joke ox Grant.?"Mack" tells the following:- This is as good a place as any to tell wjuit .l conceive to bo a good 5oke at Grant's expense perpetrated by so grave a person as Attorney Oeneial Stan bury. My authority is unquestionable,, as in tact," it always is. Soon after (Grant's 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 nahiuet officers agreed on that point, but they differed as.to the propriety of interfering against the penal laws of a Stale. Mich punishment was being gradually abolished anyhow, and would soon.disappear entire? ly. But Grant believed-' that something ought to be done by. the army to preveiit its coiitiiiiDiiice. It-was so barbarous that i it on?rht to be tolerated a iiay longer, i ..Stanbery glanced r'rwfce ge. eral, and said ma rpiiet way: "I believe you still buck and gag men and tie them up by the thumbs in the armv, within a mile of this house don't you?' ^ ' i I^Yes,1' the general saidj.-'that had tobe ' done some times." -. J " Well, it seems to me," replied Statibery, "that it's c little wotue to buck and*?r:i?r a jnan for p-ettin^ tipsy than to whip him Jor larceny.

The reporter of the Raleigh Sentinel. whosketehes the proceedings oftiie North Carolin? Bones and Banjo Convention, in his classification of members, called .the black mem hers ?? negroes." For this he has been threatened with expulsion from die hall. Commenting on the action of t e ( iViiventioii, the New York Journal of Commerce congratulates itself that the authority ot the North Carolina Conven? tion doe*" not reach beyond the limits of that State, ?od that tin* people of the North are not under the necessity of ? hu.iting up* delicate eiiphonistns to suit ?'the fastidious tastes of the members of. "that body." It becomes a question whether the po? litical and social revolution whic ? Radi? calism is now attempting is to be allowed to tak-e- a literary turn ami'subvert our stau.lard dictionaries. It appears to be aiming at the authority of the Lex-ieo gra pliers, and to threaten, what all New England has until now been proud of, the fume and the ascendancy of learned Noah Wchsler. We call a horse a horse, a man a man. the whites Caucasians, tin blacks Negroes Turning to Webster's dictionary, we find.the following : "N-tono?a black man : especially one ??of a race of black or very dark persons, -who inhabit the greater part of Africa, ??and ?redistinguished by crisped or curly -hair, flat noses, high check bones, und '?thick, protruding lips." This is-a definition.ot a New England Lexicographer, made before the Hecon struct ton- Bill was passed giving suffrage to the ho?r??es. Has that act changed ? the meaning of the word ? I There was a very grea? man of Eng J |and. who abhorred the slave trade, ami . always manifested a profound sympathy, i for the African savages. This great man j was the learned Dr. Samuel;Johnson, the i author of ?-Johnson's- Dictionary of the English language." He'had for years a negro servant named Francis Barber, to whom he leM the bulk of his property, and af'iernaming him in his will, he added I ? -negro." Dr. Johnson, of England; and Noah I Webster, of Massachusetts, wore our most eminent Lexicographers, and we have thai authority for culling ?i black man a negro. Down with the dictionaries- exclaim the Radicals?a bho-k.mnii iM not a negro! What, then, we ask: is lie? lie is not an j ape, a gorilla, an Indian or a white man. j If not a negro, what is he? Among I he ' ntimero.tis wants fronted by Radicalism is ;U? w&ui of a w dictionary, 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 street*, there dwells a poor negro, known among his k'indred'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" tlie oft repeated phrase, -? the oldest inhabitant." Nor is his-remarkable longevity the sole feature in this aged negro. Unlike .many, Iiis fac? ulties havo been retained unimpaired 1? Up to this week his vision was undimmed and his hearing unusually acute, but du? ring the last few day-s he nas faded- 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 Chielle, 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 through which he had passed. A saber cut on the top of his head'and the loss of a torch* n gerarc the mementoes of his valor. With especial pleasure he would relate how the British army Mil-rendered at Yorktown,' and would depict the scene when the proud Lord Cornwallis-delivered up his sword to Cen. Washington. In the battle of New Orleans, fought on January 8, 1815, when General Jackson overthrew the British host under Packen ham, Robinson also participated in the same capacity as in the Revolutionary war. A cent ury is a long period to look back upon, yet Robinson could describe the events nt 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 eitizens have frequently assembled to min? ister to-his-feeble wants, in return for which he would repent 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 proportions. As tlie reward of his faithful services, Robinson- was manumitted some forty years-ago. He has been married several times-, but his children and his wives were separated from him: His present*wife, with whom he has-been living over twen? ty years, is fifty-nine years old', lie being nearly double her age. When over eighty years of age he was still a-robust" 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 conch, aod 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, j and men will cling to it with blind and struggling tenacity, but the ^majority j would lie 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 who gave it. -4? Congress and the Suprcms Court. The attempt which has been marie by a majority iu the House of Representatives to prevent a decision' by the Supreme Court against the constitutionality of the Reconstruction Acts, has been condemned throughout the eotmtn. A large number of papers in the Republican connection have denounced it, and even the most Radical organs of the party i1a\e done lit? tle more than feebly to apologize lor it. It must not be- supposed, however, that this result has bad 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 i^avows-j.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 irs own weights An un? constitutional law would have no effect 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 States. This is both a confession that the acts referred to are unconstitutional, and the avowal of a determination to en force them at all hazards. Hut 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 sec its deformity for themselves,, and arc not likely to be enchanted with the revelation. The Conservative portion ot the dominant party are reaping the bitter fruit of their own sowing, and'we trust that they will tie-wiser for all the time to come.?Journal of Commerce. 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 arc over-sanguine. It is some consolation to know that we are 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 : "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 most revolutionary man? ner we intend to make us>e 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, so far as we can 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 rotteuborough negro constituencies in the South. We do not intend to be ruled by any such government as that, and all tiie 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 i? 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 ih-tlie loud roar of the whirlwind, coming from ail parts of the country; and it will sooner or later unseat a large majority of those who-now constitute 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 be 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."
