New York, Jost week. ia .highly saoktm of
.by the press generallj. Mr. Wattereon
was "a rebel of rebel*,""arid take?as the
'subject of bis lecture "The Comicalities,
i Wfcitrificalitiea, and BeaU?es of Sou them
,hifk." A,, touching, description of the
{Tarer features of Tifo in the South wa?
i?btr?duced, and to thia the sympathie* of
thc'audiince fresly responded.
Th? lecturer was introduced,.by Parke
Qodwin, who ??id that to no person inore
than, to ^ir. Watterson, ?as due the fact
,that the North "lio l?bger welcomed the
South to hospitable graves, but ?to our
hoa-.e? and our hearts* best affections."
4Rer this graceful : presentation, Mu
i Watterson roser aadadvajaced to the edge
of the platform. , Jn tho. audience were
u>any Southern residente of this city, tb
whom his face and mariners were doabt
.,1???.familiar, Hit there was a general and
friendly curiosity to see .and hear a gen
tleman, whose name and, political senti
ments are so widely known. Mr. Wat
terson: is a man seemingly about 40 years
old, of medium height and frame, with
.brow*ihair,< a ;B?ouet?obn of a lighter
jabado, and a healthy, colcr in bis face.
! His figuro is not quite erect, and he pos
. Btcsea' grace neither of attitude nor move
ment. Hi? voice ls. clear and rather
agreeable, though by no mea qa melo
diou:, and bis utterance, is. slow, distinct
end ?omcwhat. monotonous, fie makes'
?no use of gesture,'nor'does ne- seek to
render1 striking passage? more impressive
by declamation.' i He id a straightforward
;8beakpi>, bui.-. wbatoyer, his manner may
be inj the excitement bf a political dla
'cai'sstpb. he'Bfi?wed lost evening little of
1 the enthusiasm of aa orator.
' ! Iff it he true, said Mr. Watterson," that
-4 noaa ir ?e only animal that ,laugbst it
' is also true that he is .the only animal
having tho capacity to make himself
laughable.' The foibles, weakness, and
rotcibrtunea of i hui. neighbors aro what
' men laugh.at; bf? finds no amusemcpt in
hi? own* We find the best instances ol
i enjoyment 'Wheh '?bme'one else payVthe
. piper. Humor1 ia the 'record of passing
events. . .^o? this reason each nation pro
duces fl humor peculiar, to itself. The
average American does dot read the
{"Pickwick Papers." The amiable Texan
' who wears a spake for ? bat-biind would
stare with blank amazement at storici
which conyulBe all cockneydom. Then
is i>. humor which Is 'Universal and pro
verbial. md yet it may b? said of everj
people, ''By thsif'jokeft ye shall.knori
them." Thackeray hrs said that the wi
of Fielding lights up a rogue.!ike a po
licem?n's lantern. With' us'it is not tb?
husband or tho Hriob who" ia ??rhesd. I
ia tho widow, ?toa .small boy, and tb?
mother-in-law. You remember the trav
eler who asked the Mississippian if i
w?s wcrth' while for him to carry a pistol
The'reply waa?^ "Weil,; straAge^' yoi
mout be rae ?ix months'andnobwantii
but if you did want it you'd want.it.aiv
fully.'"' Such wit could'have its origij
only in Amerjcn, and it 'ls perhaps her
only thai it can c?j'apprecU6ed. 'r,?''
j t?jr old.ho?tTt?tf times, this, kee

' Kr. Watterson here began his illustra*
tiona of Southern humor,: describive*
briefly the character of the wot-ks enUr
tied "Sut Lovingood,". "Major .Tone's
Courtship," and 'Captain Simon Suggs,"
and reading one or more moderately long
extracts from each.
.. "Major Jono's Courtship/' waa a story
of interior Southern lifo, and dealt wi.th
clean homespun. The ch?raoterd were
few and-simple ; ita ad vent ursa were
bounded by tho barn-yard and the
hearthstone, but it possessed , u njaturel
necs and a genuine humor which Vere
captivating. Mr.' Watterson read from
this story the culmination of tho court
ship, ? when Mai. Jones, having secured
from h ia nwo?dJi'.arl a nnuniu *het ?hC
will always keep .tho very large present
he ts about.to glvO her, hides himnelf ju

reception of tho mysterious gi.\? i -''Capt,
Simon Suggs" stood out from the ; canvas,
on which a local Rubens had pointed his
.portrait. To th? South Was what
Pickwick was toiEngland. The Captain
finally died, and if beaven was to each
the realization of his fondest hopes, Capt,

' j Thc humor in these compositions ia
true to what was in the South. A change
luis taken place.' No more is tho repr?
sentatif v Southern man taken to be a
tyraggiog bully. In the meridian of their
prosperity Southerners, wore an easy
going, pleasure-loving people. MeQ. liv
ing on great estates, With few cares'pr
excitements/ore likely to grow indotent.
Tho gentlemen of *ho South bad plenty:
of time, and he thought ho lind plenty of
rooney to use ; and the lower orders imi
tated his example. But the crash came,
'mid tile pretty fabric fell. - The great *v*d
the small, tho good and the evil, vere all
^Engulfed in one widespread, overwhelm
ing ruin. There is now nothing of that
,gilded structure!' it IB no longer fash*
1 lonable or respectable to fritter timo away
in idle, costly pleuro. The ; battle
scarred and time and coreworn South is
most unlike the South that was.
I have purposely refrained from touch
ing upon the humor of the colored'people
Of the South. Their humor is not Amer
ican, it ia peculiar to themselves, ?nd .be
sides, it \? SO associated with misery that
I have 'always felt my pity moved by it,
not my mirth. Tho colored race in God's
shadow npon the dial 'of American pro
gress, whoso cabalistic figures i the wisest
aro not oblo to read. I only know, and
?herein am happy, that slavery is gc-q?
^rith tho bag and baggage of a? obsolete
past"' 1
Mr:-Watterson paid an eloquent tribute
to the Southern woman, of whom the
Worst thing that ever, could be, said ww
that she was faithful to' a bad caus?,
"Bat if she had her triumphs io the War,"
he continued, ''she has bad her still
greater ones in peace. Which, ; has spread
before her harder ?tr?ala, still. Brpughj
bp to luxury and leisure, she has since har!
brought before her the unfamiliar broom
stick; -thc vacant clothes-chest, andi tin
empty cupboard."
The South of the past is gone. Th<
wide verandah, tillea with pleasure-Eeeh
lng folk ; the great estate, the' ?syB?cu
which refused to recognise relations u
progress and civilisation, have pass?t
away. The poor, weak person who live
only to amuse himself is thought nothinj
of in tho South. If nroaelvtiam in th:
supreme joy of mankind, New Bnglam
must be pre-eminently happy, , for. th
ambition of tho South U to out-Yanko
the Yankee. . A New England poet, a
?the beginning of tho war, hearing th
?rtil.?ry in the battle of Manassas, rum
bliag among. the Virginia hills,. said t
mo : . "I_hope your people. will..win titi
battle. We shall ultimately conquer, bu
I do not want the restored Union ? nail
dishonored Union."1 Thepoet's y?arnin
was for a great Republic founded in uni
versal education, with the buttress an
bell-tower, the sunlight and starlight c
uuivorsal suffrage
You cannot t-unc the eagle,
j ! And you dare not barm the dove ;
Bc sure the gate that's closed to hate

In tho sentence I am, about ip pro

punishment. Nor wi?l I be influenced
by any expectations which an exoited

ts penalties are inflicted to reform of

commission of crime. , Punishment ade
quate for this purpose alone is authorized
to be inflicted- I am to pronounce sen

of law to punish for the other crimes- of
which you may be ? illy. I shall mete
out to you such punishment as the crime
meriti, and as lu my judgment will bo
adequate to meet tho demands of justice.
Under tho law I can only impose a fine
and imprisonment.
Judge Townsend then pronounced the
sentence bf tho Court that the prisoner,
F. L. Cardoso, should be confined in the
county Jail for two year? and pay . a fine of
four thousand dollars, or, in default of
payment,.to be imprisoned for, an addi
