THE CONVENTION. .
CONVENTION TTttT.T) BY AUTHORITY OF THE
RECONSTRUCTION LAWS OF CONGRESS,
TO FRAME A STATE CON STUD HON
FOR SOUTH CAROLINA.
The convention yesterday did nothing but
talk. The question, whether Gene-al Canby
shall be petitioned to suspend sales of prop?
erty nuder execution for a period ot three
months, has become a sort of test as to the ,
policy of the body with reference to measures :
of relief. The fight thereon is there Tore fieroe.. I
noisy, and characterized by the bes i imitation J
of parliamentary pyrotechnics of which the ,
delegates are capable. - f
Our readers "will observe that Defarge and j
Whipper, one a Charleston and the other o .
Northern born colored man, are t;he cbam- \
pions of the people, while Cardozi, another
colored delegate, has still' as much "war on the .
brain" as the most unreconstructed rebel, j
One would not suspect it, for Gardoza is a? \
"mild a mannered man as e'er did cut ir. j
throat." He is withal the best dressed dele- \
gate in the convention. A leaver hal: .
smooth as brushing can make il, a dainty *
cane, kid gloves, gold watch ohain and ,
immaculate shirt front, are ex torn?is sug- i
gestdve of a large church, nourishing con?
gregation and frequent perquisites. Car- |
doza, having been educated abroad, is a ;
good speaker-more correct than any other of
his colored brethren in point of style ; but un- !
fortunately his voice sounds very much as if j
his throat had just been McAdamizod and :
words were not accustomed to roll through so j
rough a' passage. Perhaps he t as a cold, j
In color, he has a shade of rich deep olive :
brown, so called, and altogether is one of tho
handsomest, most dignified, most egotisticid J
and proper delegates in the conven ion. It be ,
would tone down just a little, and become ade- i
grce more moderate, he might rm for Con- j
gross and win the first time.

INTER ESTING SUGGESTIONS. .TO THE 'CONVENTION.
The President laid before the convention a i
communication which he had received from i
General B. E. Scott, Assistant Ccmnaission sr i
of the Freedmen's Bureau, who savu: j
"I have the honor tb transmit for your con- j
sideration, and for the action cf the cou- \
venci?n over which you have the honor to j
reside, if in your judgment it may scam <
est to lay the matter before it, the en- i
closed letter. It is one of the many com-' i
{>laints 1 have received during the past j
ew weeks;- and as the condition of affairs j
described therein arises from what seems to i
be a gradually growing sentiment on the part j
of the freedpeople of the State, I think an ex- <
?cession of some kind, in the form of a reao- i
ntion, announcing the sense of the conven? j
tion on the subject, would have the most bene? j
ficial results. The sooner such ideas as thc so ?
held by the freedpeople upon the plantation of
Mr. Erwin are eradicated, the better it will be ;
for both the planter and laborer.
"I have also suggested that such an expr?s- :
sion on tho part of the convention would do i
more than any act of the military to disabuse \
their minds that the convention has lands at i
its disposai for distribution." <
The letter of Mr. Erwin is dated from Ecu- ?
Bing ton, Eastern Branch, Cooper Biver, and j
substantially is as follows : i
"A condition of things has ai is en on this ]
plantation among the freedmen of which I <
think it necessary to inform you at once, and i
request that you will communicate with me .
upon tho subject. I have offered General
Scott's contract to tbe people on the planta- ?
tion for their acceptance, but was answered :
with a fiat refusal to make any contract at all. ,
They wont on to say that they would work che ,
lands, but until something was decided in their .
favor by the sitting of the con rention, they ,
would not sign any agreement or make any ,
terms with me whatsoever. Now this is like \
taking possession of my lands out and cut, ,
and I am not disposed to submit without every (
effort to establish my authority over what I
consider my own property. I am not disposed
to be harsh in my measures, behaving as I do 1
that all this is the result of false teaching, but 1
. simply wish that you would advisi J me as to the
proper motbod to pursue eicber to compel !
them to Bign this contract of General Scott's,
or to quit my premises at once, so that I may ;
have a chance of procuring oche:; labor before
it is too late. I have given chene people full
warning that if they insist upon working my
lands without a contract, they do it at their
own risk, and I am not bound uaw to contract
with any of them again against my will, or re?
cognize their work in any way. If my planta?
tion affairs are to await the d ehberations of
tbe convention, you w: 1 readily perceive the
necessity of immediate acci?n iii order to disa?
buse their minds of the prevuling ides, that
something is to be done for their especial bene?
fit by the convention."
Tbe President observed that the communi?
cation would he upon his table until it was
called up.
On motion of B. C. DeLargo (colored;, the
convention resolved itself into committee of
the whole on unfinished business, L. Boozer
(white), in the chair.
PETITION TO SUSPEND HALES.
The question being on the adoption o::' the
resolution requesting General Conby ti
pend sales of property under execution
R. G. DeLarge said it was duo to himsc
constituents to say something in advoc
measures of relief for an impoverished p
Had it not been for tho efforts of ccrtan
tlemea, to go outside of this debate
through their satellites attempt to int in
the members of tho convention, he would
remained silent.
T. J. Robertson (white), of Richland,
ii the gentleman's remarks referred to
the charge was false.
DeLarge said he had not called the gt
man's name, nor referred to him.
Mr. Robertson replied that he was sati
DeLarge proceeded to remark that il
been contended that this resolution pro]
class legislation, which he denied in (oto
the first place, the resolution was simply
quest to the commanding general to rc
the impoverished condition of tho people
standing upon that floor, he thought he <
claim to represent the people with far :
confidence than some others around him,
had thousands of dollars at stake upon tl
sue, and who desired on account of the ac
tage which would accrue to their private
fers, to see this proposition defeated.
B. J. Donaldson (white), of Chester
called the speaker to order on tho grom
personality in debate. The chair "could
see it."
R. C. DeLarge-It had been alleged
freedmen would receive benefit from t
sales by securing possession of lands. Ht
Died it When these lands are sold in Fol
ry next under the sheriffs hammer,
would pass into the hands of merciless sp
lators, who would not then part with one
to a freedman, except at exorbitant rates,
poor-white and black-were unprepared
purchase land. It was this very class
were to-day Bending np their appeals tc
government for food, and it was folly to ai
that they were to be benefltted by permit
these Bales to go on.
Who, then, were to derive advantage ?
mit that they were the men who had bee
arms against the general government, ?
done all in their power to oppress the rac*
which he belonged, which he denied, was tl
any member on tho floor so devoid of rei
to suppose that by farther impoverishing c
these-the rebels-it would result ia any g
to the people ? Thousands of farmers in
State own from one to three hundred acre
land. They constituted a claus who were h
to the government, who had been forced at
point of tho bayonet into the rebellion,
driven into the mountains and swamps to
cape conscription; and.was it proposed to p
isn these man and their families by sell
their little property to their richer neighb
or to the speculator, and turning them ad
upon the world. For one, he was opposed tc
It could not be contradicted that if the p
posed sales took place, a vast amount of j
perty would be sacrificed. A single incia
would illustrate,, Ono of the secretaries of
convention, auder this forced system, had,s
a brick residence which, in ordinary tim
would have brought $4000. It was knocl
down by the auctioneer for the paltry sum
$750. Postpone these sales for a time, s
what harm could be done? Admitting tl
the failure to pay a debt was a violation of ci
tract, the convention did not propose to fur tl
violate contracts by a repudiation. The sim'
and only purpose was, in mercy, to stay t
execution of the law for such a period as wot
enable either the debtor or the legislature
provide more substantial and pennant
means of relief. -
There was already in South Carolina scot
of speculators heartless and wealthy, ha vi
no interest in the community, none in the sc
none in the welfare of the State.. Self-aggra
lizement was their only motive, and to gra
lt and secure these lands at an cnormo
sacrifice is their only purpose. Once in pc
session of the property they would retain
intil tho day of judgment, or until tho po
xeedmen chose to yield to their exhorbita
{emends. Was this a protection of the peor
iras it jUBtice-was it wise legislation ?
Doubtless the time would come- when tl
arge landholder, oppressed by debts, won
field to necessity, and when individuals hi
means to buy, would sell their possessions
reasonable rates, hat the speculator-neve
Ln due time the legislature itself, by a syste
if taxation, might induce the sale ot' such va
bracts as were uncultivated. This measu
proposed nothing of the sort. It only r
Quests General Canny, in the exercise of b
discretionary power, as a merciful man, to c
that which had been done of his predecessoi
and for a time affoid measures of relief th
would be appreciated by the people.
F. L. Cardoza (colored), of Charleston, ai
Bwered wildly. F?rst, he didn't like the pc
sonal allusions of the preooding speaker, t
the mercenary motives of members; ac
secondly, he didn't believe io his arguuien
He doubted the legality of any legislation. Tl
request to General Canby earned with it
moral influence. It showed what the convei
tion would itself do, had it the power. A sti
Law was unquestionably unconstitutional, ac
it was unjust to the ci editor, whose rights d<
manded protection.
What rights had debtors more than credi
ors? and what was the nature of their tram
actions ? They were based upon the Bale <
slaves. Nine-tenths of the property now Bee!

He wanted to pat himself ont of the way t

and maintained the war by which his race wer
to be held m bondage. Slaves were sold for tin
purpose as well as other species of property
Now let them pay for it. Let them suffer for il
They cast the die. Let them accept the rc
mite.
Another reason for tho postponement of th
Question, even for ten centuries, was this
Line of the greatest bulwarks of slavery wa
the infernal plantation system, which permit
ted a man to hold ten, twenty, fifty, yea, eight
thousand acres, and as long as ic existed
though their freedom might be upheld by th
bayonet, it would bo of no avail. Tho strengt!
al the North consisted in its small farms, ant
the strength of the South would only begin ti

Land. He did not behove in confiscation, bu
Lf men of wealth sold their property to main
tain the war, let them take the cousequences
Slavery being destroyed, let the plantation gt
with it. They would never have freedom unti
the old system of agriculture is dead. Evez
the success of education depends upon its des
traction. Recently one hundred colored mei
purchased six hundred acres for $6000, whiol
before the war cost $50,000. These were hap
py results, and he desired to see more of thom
Providence smiled upon his race not only du?
ring the war, but recently it has given unmis?
takeable signs of disapprobation by blasting
the cotton crop by means of caterpillars, anti
compelled men to plant food aod cereals. In
doing so they would cut tho State up inte
small farms and thus encourage tbe poor of
both classes. [The very reverend and pious
speaker did not add here that nearly two mil?
lions of his people are starving in consequence
af this disapproving frown of Providence, or
thal, according to experience it occurs every
twenty-one years.]
Two year s ago this class who aro clamoring
for relief declared that not a nigger or a white
man should ever own a rod of their land. Now
they were pushed and willing to sell. Tell mo,
said the speaker, not to take advantage of
their meanness. Now is the time 1 As Gen.
Grant said when he had Lee at Petersburg, so
Bay I-"Now is the time to strike," and in
doing so we will strike f >c peace and prosperi?
ty, and the truest peace and prosperity of the
country. '"^^
T. J. Robertson (white), of Richland, opp?P
Bd the resolution. Tho gentleman who first
addressed the convention made insinuations
to which he took exceptions. He had the
credit of being a rich man-it was no fault of
bis that ho was not. But he never sold a man
out in his life. Ho had aided more men in
South Carolina, white and black, than any man
in the State to the extent of hin means. He
had borrowed monoy at t,wo and a half per
cent, per month and loaned it at seven per
cent, per annum, and now he could not get it
back. Ho had kept more mon out of the war
than any man in his district, and they would
stand by him. He had been insulted and
slandered as much as ho chose to be, and was
determined, as he would not insult a human
being . without provocation, to resent any such
injury to himself.
?? His objection to stay laws was that they un?
settled business and drove away capital. The
best of securities in South Carolina are worth
only fifty cents on the dollar. Why, there was
no protection to investments. Money would
not flow hither when equal securities could be
found elsewhere unenuangered by the throat
of repudiation or stay in the execution of the
law.
In reply to these arguments, W. G. Whippor,
a colored delegate from Beaufort, took the
^oor, and hie answer was as fine a piece of
oratory, in point of style and declamation,
strength of argument and propriety of lan?
guage, as has been exhibited since the con?
vention assembled. We regret that we have
not space for a full report, and can only group
some of his general observations.
It has been alleged he said that nine-tenths
of these executions are based on transactions
in slaves, and, therefore, the parties ought to
suffer. He did not know but this assertion was
truly Christian in i CB spirit, but as he was not
so fortunate as to wear the clerical garb, and
it did not comport with his ideas of a first
class Christian civilization.
[At this neat cut, Cain and Cardoza winced
like ' 'galled jades," and shrunk into their shad
bellied coats perceptibly.!
Cain, with his face absolutely pale, called
him to order, and suggested that "Christianity
was not under discussion," to which Whipper
replied that if be would pay attention he would
very soon discover what was under discussion
without assistance from the chair.
Cardoza next tried his hand by asking
whether it would comport with the dignity of
the garb to forgive men who bought and sold
human flesh.
Whipper replied, that however much dignity
might attach to some of the clerical raiment
around bim, his own idea of the Christianity
they professed to teach was that forgiveness
wae due even to an enemy; ind bitter aa had
been his own prejndices, hs stood upon that
floor a representative of all classes of people
whose welfare was the welfare of the State.
Cardoza subsided instantaneously, mush dis?
gusted.
Langley (colored), of Beaufort, wanted to
know if his brother had 'thrown away his
skepticism.
Whipper said the question tras unworthy of
a member of the convention; whereupon Lang
rho coast now being clear, the speaker pro*
ceeded to show that the measure proposed
was clearly constitutional; that the people to
ba benefitted were the poof men, tho wives,
children and little ones, wb| had no willing
part in the war; that the interest of the white
race was to remain here ano] develope the re?
sources of the State, and that in this improve?
ment the colored man would enjoy more ad?
vantages than if the lands -"were sold to the
1 land-sharks, who would retain property here
as they did m the West, for y urposeB of specu?
lation until it appreciated ii value, and then
demand for it exorbitant prie ?s. '"'
He claimed that it would >e indicative of a
contemptible and unworthy feeling if the con?
vention could see in these Measures of relief j
only the colored man. Thor wore here as the
representatives of the whole people, whether
Governor Orr thought BO, ol'not, whether the
people recognized them or riot, and for one be
should strive not to be recreant to his duties to
that people irrespective of race or color. They
were not here to incorporate the prejudices of
the past in a State Constitution, or to ignore
men because they happened not to be mem?
bers of ihe Radical party. '
They were not here to reap vengeance upon
the many for the sins of the few, and in God's
name, he said, he hoped they would not forset
I hat those many constituted the bulk of that
suffering humanity in whose behalf relief was
envoked.
Ic being near the hour of 3 P. M. the com?
mittee rose, reported progress^ and the con?
vention then adjourned.

THX AUDACITY OF THE RADICALS-THE CASE OF

RADICAL SENATOR-THE MILITARY DICTATOR -
SHIP-BUTLER'S NEGRO AMENDMENT DEFEAT?
ED-THE BILL PASSED-A ' POPULAR DEMON?
STRATION DEMANDED-PRESIDENT JOHNSON'S
VDZW8-THE COTTON TAX.
The Washington correspondent of the Balti?
more Gazette writes under date of January
22: ?
The dominant party are becoming more re?
volutionary and tyrannical every hour. Thus
savage proscriptiveness and arrogance seem to
keep pace with tho repeated rebukes adminis?
tered to them bv the people. Governor Thom?
as was vindictively assailed in the Senate this
morning by Howard. Morton, Morrill and
Stewart. But, what arguments 1 I refer to
the debate. Mr. Morton, perhaps, exceeded
even Howard in virulence of attack. This gen?
tleman is a very vehement speaker, indulges
in abundant gesticulations and is generally ef?
fective. On this occasion, however (being
slightly, .paralyzed in his lower limbs),
he addressed the Senate literally from
his seat, and, therefore, much of his
customary power in debate was lost.
Your Senator was powerfully de'ended by
Mr. Wilhams, of Oregon (a Radical). He
concluded by declaring that if the Senate should
refuse Mr. Thomas his seat, it would be mere?
ly because he happened to differ in politics
with the dominant party-and that if upon the
evidence, scraped together by the committee
from every nook and corner, as it was. he
should be rejected, then no man in Maryland
could consistently be received as her repre?
sentative. In such a contingency (not to be
anticipated), it is the universal opinion here
that no new experiment should be tried, but
that he should bc immediately re-elected, and
again and again, if necessary, until the honor
of the State shall be fully vindicated-tor this
business is esteemed no personal matter.
There will be further debate.
The voting in the House upon the new
abominable aggression upon the South and
the country commenced this morning soon
after the journal was read. Much excitement
prevailed in the hall. The motion to reconsid?
er tho vote by which the main question was
ordered yesterday was sustained by a large
majority/ which brought Butler's amendment
directly before the House. It was subsequent?
ly defeated, receiving only fifty-three votes
tho Democrats and Conservatives voting unan?
imously in the negative. Upon a motion to
lay the bill on the table it was observable that
Thad. Stevens refused to vote, and it was in?
ferred, especially as he opposed the bill in the
committee, that he would at least refuse to
vote or dodge on the final vote. But, as I pre?
dicted, the measure received a strict party
vote, with two exceptions, namely, Messrs.
Carey, of Ohio, and Stewart, of New fork.
' There is a mistery about this apparent seism
among the faithful. Grant did undoubtedly
electioneer for Butler's amendment. This is
attributable to his desire to conciliate si ch
men as Stevens, Butler, Sumner, Schenck and
Boutwcil. I have no doubt he has succeeded,
with probably a single exception, as the Anal
vote to-day, clothing him with despotic power,
sufilciently shows. There is very little doubt
but that the bill will receive the sanction of
the Senate.
I wrote the other day that unless the Radi?
cals wt rc restricted by some power which they
must needs recognize, this headlong course
would ultimately produce civil war, as it could
not bc supposed that a people accustomed to
civil liberty for ccnturios would finally yiold
and become slaves to a parcel of "epauletted
struts." I observe, by au authorized publica?
tion, that the President of the United Htatos
entertains thc same views. I suggest as the
peaceful remedy an assemblage of the people
in mosses cvory whore, and by their numbers
and earnestness to convince Congress of tho
urgent necessity of retracing their steps. Mr.
Johnson seemsto look to a shorter cut. He is
reported to Lave =aid: "A revolution, such as
these headlong spirits seem determined to
precipitate, may have, if it is suffered to go
on, an effect more damaging than that of the
last civil war." And upon being questioned as
to his intention "to exercise all the authority
vested in him by tho constitution to repel those
revolutionary measures," ho continued with
emphasis:
"The President has already expressed his
intention to perform his duty. As to what that
duty may involve-" (laying his hand lightly on
thc table, and drumming with his fingers during
thc pause)-"it would be rather prematuro,
just now, oven to suggest. We will leave spe?
cial measures for special occasions when they
arise. 1 have confluence in the good sense of |
the army, and certainly I beheve in tho people.
I believo in the young men; they will not per?
mit a revolution lo bo accomplished, even
though," added the President, in a serious,
but not at all threatening tone, "it might bc
necessary for the people to take the matter
into their own hands."
The tactics of the dominant party are a full
confession of their sure defeat if the people aro
to bo poiTcitUni to decide the great existing
controversy. Why is the negro electoral votes
of the South HO perniciously insisted upon ?
Simply because it is felt that the Destructors
are now, and will bo next fall, m a minority at
thc North! It is in view of things in this
direction, looking squarely at the probable
nay, almost certain fact that the House of Rs
presentatives will usurp the power of hoisting
a man into the Presidential office against the
voice of the people both North and South, that
the above suggestions are thought by the Con?
servatives at the Metropolis to be of the first
and Inst importance.
I learn reliably that the Radicals will imme?
diately proceed to perfect and pass bills reor?
ganizing all the prominent civil offices in tho
country supposed to be filled by Conservatives,
in order to monopolize and use them for
electioneering purposes. The first attack will
be made upon the customhouse officers. A
bill to "reorganize the eua tom s system" is al?
ready prepared, and provides for the reappoint?
ment of all officers connected with it. One
also to "reorganize the Internal Revenue
system " with like purposes and with like pro?
visions. !
Tho cotton tax question may ba deemed as
settled. The Senate this morning receded from
its amendments. The effect is that all cotton
raised after the year 1867, is to he free of i
tax, and that the duty on foreign cotton is re
Affaiirs In tlie Stale.
-Tho dwelling of Captain H. S. Kerr, in Ab?

result of incendiarism.
-The Abbeville Banner announces that by

A COMPLIMENT WELL DESERTED.-The Lon?
don Quarterly Review, replying to an essay by
Goldwin Smith, who cites Lincoln, Grant,
Sherman and Stanton (1) as examples of Ameri?
can gr?at men, says:
"We-admit that Mr.. Stanton .and. his col?
leagues have done great things on a great
scale, but they -lack -the stamp of individual
Eeatness. If that is co be lound anywhere in
?erica, its under the modest roof of General
Leo, the champion of a lost cause, when pros?
perity never .atrxjc?it d nor adversity de?
pressed, and wno exoeeded his opponent as
much in real nobility and greatness of char?
acter as he did in military skill and daring."
THE RELEASE or GEOBQE FRANCIS THAIN.-A
cable dispatch published yesterday announced
that George Francis Train, arrested at Queens-,
town, Ireland, on suspicion of being connected
with the Fenians, had been released by the
British authorities, and thai; ho had entered
Buit for ?100,000 damages for illegal arrest. A
special London dispatch to tho New York,
papers says :
The causes leading to his arrest tro these :
An Englishman'named Gee, a fellow passenger:
of Mr. Train, informed the officers on the tug
which boarded thc Scotia at Queenstown, that
Train hod said he came to Ireland fox the pur?
pose of organizing the Fenians -and commenc?
ing a tight. Mr. Train was arrested-upon this
information. Gee denied that he had given
such information when ho was in court. Mr.1
Eastman, United States Consulat Queenstown,
was exceedingly active in Mr. Train's behalf.
Mr. Adams, United States Minister here, at
once baw Lord Stanley, wno, on his represen?
tation, ordered the release of Mr; Train. Lord
Stanley disavowed the act. on the part of the
government, abd Stated that'thii local authori?
se were solely responsible for it. Mr. Adams'
iirompt action secured Mr. Train's speedy re
eaee.
SOUTHERN INDUCEMENTS TO NOBTHEBN EMI?
GRANTS.-A railroad convention held at Atlanta
on the 15th, with a viow of attracting to the
Southern States an extensivo northern emi?
gration, suggests that the southern railroads
shall adopt the following tariff for the trans
flirtation of bona fide settlers and their goods :
or each adult passenger one (1) -cont per
mile. For children between 5 and 12 years of
age, half-price. For children under 5 years
old, free, and that each full passenger be allow?
ed one hundred and fifty (150) pounds o? bag?
gage, which BB&II be cafrledmje of-charge,
and that they shall be charged at the rato of
two (2) cents nor ton por mile for extra bag?
gage, which shall include household furniture,
farming implements, machinery and IOOIB in?
tended to be used bysuoh person.a
LITERATURE AS A RECREATION.-The Pall
Mall Gazette has a suggestive article under
this title, which we propose to consider here?
after at length. One sentence in the essay,
however, eu ?gea ts inspiration from Jack Buns
by: "It is because so much of our recreation
is literary, that so mach of our literature is
recreative." Which recalls Artemus Ward's
certificate in the name of Abraham Lincoln:
"For people who like your style of lectures, I
should say they are the style of lectures such
people like."
An especial feature in the machinery de?
partment of the late French Exposition was
the variety of i ns ti union', s for the* economical
cutting of coal, so as to save tho enormous
waste of the pick and other hand tools. One
machine, worked by compressed air, was cap?
able of giving sixty or s> . en ty blows a minute,
and of undercutting aloi.g a line of ten to fif?
teen yards in an hour to a depth of over a yard,
and with very little waste. Ano thor more com
Eheated machine acts not by percussion, but
y planing, scraping or gouging, making its
way through bandstone with facility. The
power is applied by hydraulic pressure, and the
apparatus will cut about twelve yards in an
hour. - -
In New York City the bankruptcy p?titions
lodged in the United States District Court
number five hundred and eighty-nine, fifty of
which are compulsory. From eighty to ninety
of these petitioners have received their final
discharge from the court. Coing into bank?
ruptcy, as managed in Nen York, is somewhat
expensive, the costs and fees for a voluntary
petitioner amounting to some $180 to $225, ana
for a compulsory bankrupt to between 1300 to
$600.
Financiers in England draw a heavy
breath as they think of the year that 1B gone,
and pray they are not to see such another.
Take one item alone in which the value of pro?
perty has decreased. It is stated that there
has been a loss of moro than seventeen mil?
lions sterling in tho value of the shares of the
twenty-four prinoipal British railways during
tho year 1867.
According to statistics published recently,
extending over a term of thirty-two years, the
cost of pauper relief in England has remained
nearly stationary, the amount ia 1884 having
boen ?6,317.255, against ?6,439,517 in 1866. In
the interim an addition ol' nearly 7,000,000 has
been made to the population of England and
Wales, and the result has been attained, ho
doubt, by tho copious emigration during those
years.
Tho bride's veil originated in the Anglo
Saxon custom performing tho marriage under
a piece of cloth, held at each corner by a tall
man, over the bridegroom and bride, to con?
ceal her blushes.
In Vermont, a special Episcopal conven?
tion, to elect a Bishop for the diocese of Ver?
mont, in thc place of the late Bishop Hopkins,
will be held at Burlington on March ll.
8ome recent heavy damages tor breach of
promise of marriage, remind Jones of Spread
weasel's precaution. "When I courted her,"
he said, "I took lawyer's advice and signed
every lettor to my love, 'yours, without preju?
dice.' "
Investigators of the laws of sound report
that the sound waves resulting from a man's
voice in ordinary speech aro from eight to
twelve feet in length, while those of a womau's
voice are from two to four feet ; hence the
pitch of a woman's voice is more than an octave
higher than that of a man, and in its higher
sounds, as two octaves.
Dr. Abernethy rarely met his match, but on
one occasion tic fairly owned that he had. Ho
was sent by an innkeeper who had had a
quarrel with his wife, who had scarred his face
with her nails, so that the poor man was bleed?
ing and much disfigured. Abernethy thought
this an'opportunity not tobe lost for admonish?
ing the offender, and said. "Madam, ore you
not ashamed of yourself to treat your husband
thus-tho husband who is the head of all
your head, madam, in fact?" "Well, doctor,"
fiercely returned the virago, "aid may, I not
scratch my own head ?"
