??- ? r-x^zi? ?sr ? - -1 ?? " " Jubtrsin Intelligencer. Additiou.il Reconsfrnotio i or General Am r ,-\ 1 T '^Tf i The Radical party in the North seems divi dcd~as to the policy ?f inaugurating additional measures of reconstruction or offering general amnesty for past political offences. The mem? bers of Congress are disposed to listen favora? bly to the scheme of upturning and revising State governments in the South of their own creation, while the moderate and thinking Re? publicans outside of Congress deplore this sort of thing,Srrr#are urgfttg geiteraV amnesty. The Washington correspondent of the New York HeraMt tbro -prefigures the ideas of the ex? tremes iifr Congress, who are dissatisfied with tlfe p^kcfl?-stRtns ?f the Southern States: The leading members of the Republican party have for some time past manifested considera? ble anxiety as to the part the Southern States will play in the next Presidential election. It is generally conceded that in the present con? dition of affairs there the Democrats are cer? tain to c?rtyl eVery StateSouth of the, ancient Mason and Dixon's line, except, perhaps, South Carolina. This is a disappointment to those who have been eugaged in reconstructing the latoTeb'et States iii. the interest of the Repub li(^a.p^riyjan4. tjie 'question now. is bow to bring them back ana keep them under the Republican.banner. just before the holiday recess Senator Morton introduced a resolution calling upon the-President for information con? cerning tue recent disturbances in North Caro? lina and other States, where it is alleged the laws of the United States haTe been dehed and resisted. This resolution was so worded as to allow the answer to embrace all the Southern States. It is understood that some time this week the answer-to the resolution vrill be sent to the Senate. This is the special message ou the condition of the Southern States which it has .been-slated the President would send to Congress! This answer from the Executive will show that the Southern people are far from being in a condition to deserve or appre? ciate amnesty. It will turther show that a feeling of opposition to the Government exists which has not been equalled since.the close of the rebellion. This information will probably be made to serve two purposes?first, to silence those w'ao are demanding general amnesty, and second, to afford an excuse for something like fresherfcconstructionlof. the .Southern -States. The President's reply will likely be referred to a^eciat committee, which will be instructed to investigate the facts and report what legisla? tion is necessary to secure the enforcement of the laws and the protection of life and proper erty. In the meantime, several prominent Republicans from the South are here, and oth? ers are expected, to co-operate with the recon? struction ists in Congress. Per contra, the better class of Northern Re? publicans are evidently not in sympathy with this movement to defeat or postpone a general amnesty to the Southern people. We make a few extracts to prove this assertion, and would faiu believe that The authors of these extracts more truly represeut the Radjcal party than their opponents. The Buffalo Advertiser, (Re? publican ) in -noticing the attempt which is be? ing made to regard the results of the Georgia election^ is a cause^for the defeat of amnesty, sa\V: / . - "Some of our Republican cotemporaric* are openly asserting that the success of the De? mocracy in Georgia ought to put an end to any attemptto>I>ass a General Amnesty bill at this session^* Itns lirfrd 'to see' upon what pri n eiplc such a sentiment can be justified, and very few of thoso-who assert it'Offer any other justifica? tion >but that of political expediency. Now, upon tnat'ground ouly^ what is the Republican P?rty to gain by perpetuating proseriptive laws? It is very certain that they have not served the Ue^t interests of the party in time past* fw^uVpoKtical frierids have been, and ure 'continually, losing ground in every South? ern State, exceptiug,.perhaps, South Carolina. "But on the. question of political expedien? cy, ^the Southern ^Republicans are almost to?a man persuaded tllafl the perpetuation of politi? cal disabilities weakens the influence of their party and is .utterly destructive of auy attempt ta m>ke it popular. .Upon this point the Fredr ericksburg (Va.) Ledger, whose editor is a member.of the Republican State Committee, says: 'Unless the Republican party, seeing the situation, shall appreciate it at once, we believe that irretrievable injury will be done in the coming Presidential contest. If we could be heard, we would, as a Republican, and speaking for the welfare of the Republican {>arty and its future interests in the South, ea*ing?out of question the manifest justice of Buch a policy, say to Congress, give the people of the couth Universal Amnesty.' "It dees seem as though such testimony in favor of t?e-removal, of political disabilities ougljt ttO; be respected. It* is in_ accordance w^ftit?e- ?e4timent??f nhne> outAjf ten of the intelligent. Southern. Republicans; and they, being oh'the ground, are presumed to be the best judges of their waufa." The Pittsburg iTa.j Clironiclc, another Re? publican journal, takes ground, in favor of am? nesty in the following words:?? The past year vras'signalized in this country by the. admission of the States of Virginia, Mississippi and Texas' to representation irrCon; gres^-apu^ by a marked abatement of the re? sentment rwfnch had survived the rebellion. Let the year upon which we have entered be made memorable by geueral amnesty. The few roal conle'nts 'iri' the South can do no harm, and there are not even any party schemes that can bo subserved by proscription. Europe is in? debted to us jfor the. spectacle of a great civil war cjp?fhs..without ultiinate'resort-to the scaf? fold. 3lay we not now add another bright page to our history by cancelling all penalties an? entering upon a fresh national career with? out a single individual in our borders disfran? chised for a political offence ? The consequen? ces of: such a magnanimous policy will not be confined-to this country or limited to this cen? tury." They will endure to be commented on by historical writers and to sink in the heart of Governments. It is-high wisdom to be gener? ous. To this emphatic advice of respectable and inflneutlal newspaper^ it is proper to" add the language employed by Governor Geary, of Pennsylvania, in, his recent message to the Legislature: All good citizens will rejoice whou the last disagreeable vestiges of the recent civil war shal.l have beni obliterated. Since the cessa? tion of opeu hostilities, the nation has set the whole w.otld a noble example by its unprece? dented magnanimity in forgiving the offences and restoring to citizenship the great mass of those why warred against its peace and safety. In this! regrfrdj 'v.v lufve been as generous in peace as we have been invincible in war; and now but comparatively few of those who sought to dissever the Union remain as aliens und Btrangers to its Government The supremacy of the laws has been maintained, and their power is no longer disputed,. Tho passions that' e.\cited and protracted, deadly strife have subsided," and we' are again., practically, a ho? mogenous people. There, a/ey doubtfess, here and' there> some disaffected sprrTtsyflbut' their numbers are loo few, and their power too insignificant to qivc I serious cause tor, uneasiness or alnrm. And I even towards these conciliation will ce more I productive, of good results than the itvenr/ing j force of triumphant power. It is greatly to be desired that universal peace, amity, and na? tional fellowship and. brotherhood should agajii prevail throughout our.country. And the time is, I trust, close at hand when this grand and perfect consummation will be effected by uni? versal amnesty. It would efface the lingering j distinctions which are fostered by punishment ' of the very few for crimes in which very many participated, and xcmove the last pretest for hostility against a Government who-?o magna? nimity is the crowning glory of its power. It ? will accord with enliglr:enedand progressive civ- | ilization, and harmonize with the tested might. and grandeur of free institutions. It will pre sent, too, the noblest Government of the world's j historv as impregnable and indissoluble, be- | cause founded, without distinction, class, birth, j or circumstances, upon the virtue and intelli- j gence of all its people. Diversity of Resources.?The following, taken from the Yorkville 'o. C.) Enquirer, is commended to the earnest attention of agri? culturists in all portions of our State : Few localities are more favorably situated than the region known as York County. The soil and climate are admirably adapted to the production of all the necessaries, and many of the luxuries, of life. Indian corn, wbeat, rye, oats and barley, may be grown with profit. The soil in many portious of the county is noted for its adaptation to cotton. Clover, and many of the grasses, do well. In fact, when proper attention is paid to the preparation of the soil, previous to sowing, clover seems to grow as rich and luxuriant as it docs in the valley of Virginia. York county is adapted, both by soil and climate, for producing the cereals, trowing cotton and raising stock. Our people ave long had a kind of vague knowledge of this fact; but only in a few instances has this knowledge been put into practice. Most of the farmers of York county, like the other inhabi? tants of the State of South Carolina, have de? voted their energies to the growing of cotton. The practice, especially in those portions of the county best adapted"to the growth of cot? ton, has been to raise cotton, and buy corn and bacon. In fact, the cotton crop has been de? pended upon to meet every want. Everything, or nearly everything, we eat and wear, is bought. The farmer lives very much like the merchant in a large city, depending upon his sales to supply all his wants. Cotton, with some farm? ers, in this county, is everything. Such a prac? tice does violence to the laws of nature, and is at variance with the sober observations of the past. It is clear that it is safe policy to make it a rule to buy nothing that can bo produced, and sell as much as is possible of everything. This principle gives the laboring man diversity of employment, which is congenial to his mind. There are many sources of wealth in York countv which are yet undevsloped. Stock of some kinds can'be raised with little cost and much profit. Our winters are short and mild, compared with more Northern latitudes, aud stock, especially cattle, can be supported at a mere nominal cost during the winter and spring months, and require no feed during the summer and autumn. For years stock of all kinds have been neglected, or to speak more truthfully have been trejfted cruelly; and because they did not grow and thrive under such treatment, the cry has been, "this is not a stock raising country." Stock would do well in no country treated as many of our people treat them. We are not opposed to the cultivating of cotton; but we are convinced that it is a mista? ken policy to devote the whole of our energies to the producing of cotton, and thus neglect every other resource. It is always safe to fol? low the indications of nature. If we have natural facilities for manufacturing, it will be beneficial to the community and profitable to ourselves to engage in manufacturing. The same principle is strictly applicable to the oth? er resources which nature grants us. If we do not u e and devclopc those resources, we arc recreant to the trust reposed in us, and the pen? alty which will be inflicted upon us will be poverty and dependence. A Horrible Texan Chapter?The tele? graph some time ago reported briefly the result* of an unhappy affray in El Paso, Texas, in which two gentlemen of high position lost their lives. On the 7th of December a slight misunderstanding between the Hon. A. J. Fountain, State Senator, and 13. F. Williams, a lawyer, culminated in the affray which resulted so seriously. Fountain and Williams meeting in a saloon in the morning* the former remon? strated mildly with Williams for some intem? perate assertions made against himself and friends. Williams re-cnteu this, and instantly drew a revolver upon Fountain, who stood bc : fo;e hiin completely unarmed. Two shots were fired by Williams, one grazing Fountain's tem? ple and the other wounding his left arm, passed through a package of letters in the breast pocket of Iiis coat, and lodged against the case of his watch. There were several persons pres? ent and in the immediate vicinity, and to them Mr. Fountain called out: "Arrest that man; he has shot me V The assassin however fled, and gaining his room?a block or two off? locked himself in and refused to be arrested. The Hon. Gaylord ! Clarke, Judge of the Twenty-fifth District, who 1 was in the vicinity, ut once summoned assis? tance and ordered the door beaten down. The work was begun when Williams threw aside the fastenings and iu. k.'d into the street frantic with rage, (or as asserted temporary insanity,) armed with a double-barreled shot-gun, charged ,at the pillar where fie Judge stood, who dodged around' an/i back twice ; when, the Judge came 'in contact with'the muzzle of his gun, Williams fired instantly, shooting the Judge through the heart. He expired almost instantly. The murderer turned in a species of insane fury on . the crowd and leveled his gun at the Chief of Police, who, however, anticipated him, aud at once shot him through the heart. Success in Life.?Take earnestly hold of life, as capacitated for and destined to a high and noble purpose. Study closely the mind's bent for labor profession. Adopt it early and pursue it steadily, never looking back to the turning furrow, but forward to the ground that ever remains to be broken. Means and ways are abundant to every man's success, if will and action are rightly adapted to them. Our rich men and our great men have carved their paths to fortune, and by this internal principle ?a principle that cannot fail to reward him who resolutely pursues it. To sigh or repine over the luck of inhecLtajice is unmanly. Every man should strive to be crcHtor instead of in? heritor. He bhould be conscious of the power in him, and fight his own battles with his own lance. He should foci that it is better to earn a crust than to inherit coders of gold. When once this spirit of sc f-relinnce is learned, every man will discover within himself the element*, and capacities of wealth. He will be rich iu self-resources, and can lift his head proudly to meet the noblest among men.. Pay the Small Bills.?With the opening of the year all small bills should be promptly paid. The men to whom they are due general? ly need the money. The little bills arc the ones that make numberless gaps iu the world of business. How much comfort to families, cheer to desponding business men and encour? agement generally would be given by the imme? diate discharge of all little and, perhaps, half forgotten obligations. ? A traveler down in Georgia among the rice swamps, observing the sallow, sunkencyed, emancipated appearance of the inhabitants, asked one of them if the climate was un? healthy. "Wa'al, no," replied the sickly-look? ing fellow ;"'taint unhealthy. We-have the fever und ague here all the time, in these parts ; but then we enjoy a powerful undertow of health, which beats the ague to nothing!" ? California, looking buck over 1870, re? joices that it has seen during the year the ship? ment of the first bale of home-raised silk ; the rnising of the first successful c rop of cotton, and the first success manufacture, of beet sugar. 1 Singular Funeral Customs.?A corres? pondent of the Milwaukie Sentinel writes as follows from Munich, in Bavaria: There is one feature or custom in Munich, in reference to the burial of* the dead, which I think is not generally known abroad. It is en? tirely a municipal regulation, and worthy of being copied by other countries. The city is divided off into districts, and proper persons are appointed, of both sexes, to take charge of all persona who die within their districts. So soon as a person dies, a written report of all the circumstances has to be filed by the physician with the police, and notice is then given to the person having iu charge that particular district. This person immediately calls at the house where the dead lies, and makes all necessary arrangements for the funeral. If the deceased is a female, a lady has the charge; if a male, then a gentleman. The persons selected are people amply competent in every respect, and with a proper regard for sympathy, gentleness and kindness. The friends of the deceased have nothing to do with the funeral or burial, as everything is entirely taken off their hauds. I The funerals are divided into three classes, the rich, the moderately wealthy, and the poor. To each class there is a tariff of expenses. After the funeral the bill, which is very moderate and reasonable, is presented to the nearest rel? ative. These rules apply to stranger and citi? zen alike. At the cemeteries, called the kirchehoff, is a chapel, and in appropriate rooms adjoining the dead are received, where in open coffins they are obliged to lie three days before interment. In front of these rooms is an open gallery where the public can at all -imes go, and through the large windows see the dead within. No people in the world pay more attention to the dead than the Germans. Indeed, so far do they go that death is almost "robbed of its sting and the grave of its victor v." The corpse is so laid out that it resembles life, and when it is left at the house of the dead it is literally em? bowered with flowers, I have seen half dozen children grouped together, and all looking like beautiful young beings in health, sleeping in bowers of flowers. As to Low Dresses.?Most fashions owe their origin to an attempt to give prominence to the strong point or hide the weuk point of a king or queen. Thun powder came into vogue to conceal a queen's gray hair, and large pe? rukes because a king was bald. We learn, however, from a Belgian paper, that the cus? tom of ladies exhibiting their busts in all the beauty of nature has a far more romantic ori? gin. In a battle in which the French were en? gaged (all dates, we may mention, are in re? serve.) their ranks were broken, and they wore routed. When they retreated their women bared their breasts and entreated them to pierce them rather than permit them to fall into the hands of the enemy. This was too much for the gallant Gauls. Nerved with fresh courage they turned, renewed the combat and were vic? torious. From that hour French women have on festal occasions always been accustomed to wear their dresses low. In fact, when you see one who appears to have forgotten the upper part of her dress, it is no proof of indelicacy, but simply an indication of the power of na? tional sentiment. This satisfactorily explains what many ignorant people have taken for im? propriety. We live and learn. One Way of Improving Land.?It per? haps has occurred to but few farmers to employ the roving herds of summerat manure-making. It may be done thus : Select a spot adjoining an outside fence, and enclose it well on the three remaining sides.? Haul leaves from the woods, muck from ponds or swamps, or anything that will rot into a gr.od manure in ten or twelve months, and >pread over this lot three or four inches deep. If there are not several trees in this lot, make shelters for shade by placing poles upon forks, putting a floor of rails across these poles, and cover thickly with pine-tags. Enclose large pieces of ground and put alum salt in boxes having a hole iu their tops sufficiently large for cattle to get their tongues in conveniently. Place these boxes firmly upon posts about over the lot. Make a gap iu the. outside fence that everybody's cattle that come along may walk in. As soon as they find out the 6alt this lot will become a grand congregating place for all the cattle of the vicinity?a perfect camp? ground of the bovine species. They will mnke the shelters their resting places by day and by night, and will continue so long as the supply of silt holds out. Of course they will drop their manure here, and by winter you will have the satisfaction of owning at least one lot that has been well manured at slight cost. So long as cattle run at large, somebody ought to have the advantage uf the manure, if they can get it. A Juht JUDGE.?The Legislature of Geor? gia having passed a bill increasing the salaries of judges, most of them have resigned and been re-appointed, this course being necessary in order to evade the constitutional provision forbidding increase of compensation while in office. Judge Warner, of the Supreme Court, however, declined to do this, and writes: "If, by this cunningly devised process of resigning and re-appointment, with the intention and for the purpose of being continued in office at an increased salary, the people of tho State could be deceived as to its true object, it is quite certain that I cannot deceive myself in regard to it. Whenever those in authority, whose sworn duty it is to administer and exe? cute the laws of the State, violate them, cither in letter or spirit, to promote their own indi? vidual interests, there will always be found many apt scholars ia every community who will not be slow to imitate their example." ? The New York Tribune has been summing up the gains of the last year, and gives as a result that "we are increasing in wealth asd productive capacity at a rate unparalleled by any other country, whether of the Old or New World/' It finds that our population increased at least one million during 1870, butone-fourLh of this increase is the result of immigration, leaving the remaining three-fourths to be ac? counted for by the excess of births over deaths. Our agriculture was very productive, and its gains over 1S69 in value were very considera? ble. The gold and silver returns of the mines were over sixty millions, and' in the same pe? riod numerous new mines were opened, but they will not in many instances show notable results until this present year. A source of general congratulation is the approach of our national currency to gold value ; while in ISG9 it was 20 per cent, below, it is now scarcely above 10 per cent., aud there is no reason whv during 1871 it should not reach the standard of coin. A remarkable feature of the year just closed was the construction of over 10,000 miles of railroad iu the United States, at a cost of not less than $300,000,000. ? There is an establishment in Franklin, Penn., where girls arc trained for the "female minstrel" trade. An institution devoted to the propagation*of hydrophobia would be innocent and commendable in comparison with such a concern. ? A lady, who, through the autumn of life, had lost all dreams of its spring, said to .Ter rold : "I cannot imagine what makes my hair turn gray. I sometimes faiicy it must be the essence of rosemary, with which my maid is in tin* habit of brushing it. What think you?" "I should he afraid, madam," said the dis? tinguished dramatist, dryly, "that it is essence of thyme." ? EX-Presidcnt Andrew Johnson complains that during the late immortal war, as he calls, it, the rebels carried oil'nearly all his books and papers, and even his tailor's shears, that he ?rized so highly from having used them so long. Ic says tharsirice the war many of his books avc been returned, but those shears, and his | ign, "A. Johnson, tailor." have never- turned ? A SC? Louis youth sues for a divorce on the ground that his fair captor deceived him by a false statement of her financial affairs. ? An Iowa man, living within three' miles of a railroad, has jicver been in a car ; never been a courting ; never sat on a jury, or kissed a girl. ? There is something new to be learned every day, and in every place: "Misfortunes ncrcr come tiinple," And 60, like birds of a feather, The marriages and the deaths; Are a!wars printed together. ? Mrs. Livermorc has waited and pondered and calculated until she is able to arrive at the conclusion that "the women of to-day arc not what they were ten years ago." We should judge that they are about ten years older, if nothing more. ? At Troy the liquor dealers are only al? lowed to sell benzine to the "traveling public," and now, when a resident wants a drink, he has to shoulder his carpet-bag. Before breakfast in the morning, the streets of Troy look like some ?Southern city previous to election.?New York Democrat. ? A heat compliment was paid the other day to a lady. She had just swallowed a small.i glass of wine as a gentleman in company asked for a taste. "It's all gone," said she, laughing? ly, "unless you take some from my lips." "I should be most happy," he replied, "but I never take sugar in mine." ? A Philadelphia judge has picked up some? where the absurd idea that witnesses are not criminals. He rebuked a lawyer for badgering one in a late case, and laid down the astoundig proposition that a witness should be treated in the same manner as any gentleman would treat a visitor to his house. The lawyers talk of having him impeached or sent to a lunatic asy? lum, r . ? 7 ? Josh Billings sums up his mortality ex? perience thusly: "Men, if they ain't too lazy, liv sometimes till they are 80, and destroy the time a good deal as follows: Tbe fust 30 years they spend throwing stones at a mark; the second 30 they spend examining the mark tu see whir the stuns hit, and the remainder is divided in cussing the stun throwing bizziness and nussing the rhumatiz." ? Some of the Boston papers with charac? teristic charity have discovered that the recent appalling fire in Richmond was a special man? ifestation of divine wrath. This is clearly an error, for as long as New England and its isms escape destruction, "all the world and the rest of mankind" may remain under their vines and fig trees with the assurance that they will be unmolested by Providence. ? There are memories connected with the past year which munt sadden it forever in the minds of millions. Stout old David Farragut, the Nelson of the Western world, the bravest of the brave, sleeps the sleep from which uo drum-beat calling to quarters shall again sum? mon him to lead his gallant sailors into the hail of hostile fleets and batteries. Robert E. Lee, the great captain of the lost cause, has gone to his grave. And he who gave us Little Nell and Dora, dear Mr. Pickwick and simple Captain Cuttle, has laid aside his wearied pen forever, and passed into tbe infinite unseen whence he had called the bright and gentle spirits who have now a home in every heart which understands the rough, strong Northern tongue wherewith Charles Dickens made his matchless music.?New York World. ? For the first time in the history of Kansas the Democratic minority now has a chance to make itself heard and its influence felt in the Siate politics. The new Democratic paper es? tablished at Lawrence?the Standard?is doing yeoman's work in setting Democratic principles fairly before the people; and a sentiment be? gins to prevail (in all districts not completely under the control of Republicans) favorable to the selection iff good men lor Congress in fu? ture, jrrespective of' their Republican party tics. While it would be unwise to expect tot? much on a sudden from a State which has been so long bound hand and foot with the withes of parly tradition and party patronage, thee is great hope of a steady, progressive revolution of public sentiment in Kansas, which will ul? timately vindicate the maxim that "the race is not always to the swift nor tbe battle to the strong." * ? Printers have a way of interpreting the editor's manuscript that is sometimes highly amusing as well as provoking. We call to mind just now two funny misprints that lately occurred with two of our cotcmporaries. At a certain stage of the Franco-Prussian difficulty, England evinced a disposition to get mad. The night editor of one of our dailies, on receiving the news, wrote the head line, "The British Lion shaking his mane." lie was unable to eat his breakfast next morning when he found the printer's version of the matter staring him in the face thus: "The British lion skating in Maine." This happened about the middle of August. The other paper met with its trouble in this wise. The editor had written an elabo? rate article about a Fort Wayne Railroad, .which he concluded with these words, "this Fort Wayne enterprise." The printer had the satisfaction of making that editor sick by ren? dering the last words of his article thus: "This Fish Wagon enterprise."
