WASHINGTON, October 8.-T
speech just made by Gov. Morton,
Indiana, in support of Preside
Johnson's policy of reconstructs
is regarded as important in execnt
. quarters. His reflections against i
Democratic party are matters
course, but he is strongly on 1
record against negro suffrage,
very prominent official of this ci
who has been in Indiana some ti
back, ?Iserts that the negro suffri
policy would be voted down
Indiana by from 50,000 to 100,
majority.

The gambling bank at Baden-Baden
has been twice broken, within a
month, by a Maltese millionaire, as?
sisted on the last occasion by two
players as lucky as himself.
It has been said, with a mixture of
truth and paradox, that an English?
man is never happy but when he is
miserable ; a Scotchmen never at
home but when he is abroad ; and an
Irishman never nt peace but when he
is fighting.
An English exchange says : "A
specification has recently been filed
at the Patent Office for improvements
in boiling eggs. This was shortly
afterwards followed by a patent for a
mrfchine for removing the tops from
eggs previous to eating them. We
hope next week tp be able to announce
that a patent has been secured by
somebody's grandmother for sucking
the above delicacies."
M. Delamarne recently made an
ascent in his baloon, from the Cre?
morne Gardens, London, with a view
to test his* steering apparatus. The
latter was found to work exceeding!}
well. M. Delamarne proposed tc
make another ascent, to return to thc
Gardens after his voyage. Should hi
accomplish this purpose, the efficiencj
of his steering apparatus will be estab
lished beyond a doubt.

; THE 'CHOPS-WHITE "LABOE.-Our
people know? says the Macon Tele?
graph, that they can depend alone on
their own efforts, and ?they can see
plainly that freedmen are but little to
be depended upon, and doubtless the
bone and sinew of the whites will be "
spent to'the greatest extent ?the en- \
smug year. The prospect of much ;
higher prices, from the scarcity of the
great staple of the country hereafter, '
will stimulate the industrious. "We*
expect half of th? .product of the ;
next crop will lye the result of white i
labor. At the same time we cannot
see how even a million, of bales of
cotton can be produced. A hurgo
number of thc able-bodied uegro men
have gone North, or enlisted in the
army, and a majority of the freedmen
left with us cannot be relied upon.
Time will prove our prediction. We
state the fact advisedly-the negro
will not work steadily unless com?
pelled to do so. He has been trained
to a compulsory line of conduct, and
when left to his own impulses, we
cannot expect a favorable result. He
is naturally indolent, and the system
by which he has been ruled has served
to increase that propensity. But by
industry, prudence and economy, the
white population through its own ex?
ertion, and a proper use of such of
the freedmen as can be relied upon,
the former will be able to realize more
for its own support, and profit also,
than heretofore. The future is bright
with hope to a determined people,
and we believe all our predictions will
be realized!
A DASHING YOUNG WOMAN. -A dash?
ing young woman named Nellie Otis,
alias Curtis, has been arrested here
I for the larceny of $6,400, in money
and Government bonds, from a man
in New York, on Friday night last.
The woman arrived hero on Satur?
day, and created considerable excite?
ment among the sporting fraternity,
exhibiting $3,000 at a time, visiting
the races, and paying for 32 bottles
of wine and other liquors. She
placed $3,200 in the halals of a young
man to keep for her, and upon his
refusing to return $2,700 of it, she
made .complaint at the police station.
Thc man was found, and $2,500 re?
turned, as was supposed, to the right?
ful owner.
The man from whom the money
was stolen then made his appearance
and recovered less than half of the
$6,400, but refuses to prosecute the,
woman. -Boston Post.
Ki.' MET. -All natural means having
failed to remove the cholera from
Constantinople, thc Sultan of Turkey
has come to the conclusion that "eat,
drink and bo merry" is about the best
course to pursue under the disheart?
ening circumstances. He has issued
a sort of firman, adapted to the exi?
gency, wherein everybody is enjoined
to sing, dance and feast, within the
limits of tho capital. This is a prac?
tical illustration of the tenets of Ma
! hornet's creed-here to-day, gone to
I morrow. The deaths per day in the
stricken capital of Turkey are re
I ported at 1,000. The wails for the
i dead and dying are strangely involved
j in a glim and grotesque revelry ; and
' in this ghastly life-in-death existence,
? bashaw and odalisque, water-carriers
I and enuch, pass their brief hours of
festivity, to retire thereafter to the
! quiet of their chamber, where, ejacu?
lating, "Kismet!"-it is fate-they
envelope their heads in their mantles
and give up the ghost.
Measuring the summer by the inten?
sity of the heat, it has already lasted
sonni four or five montas, it has j
lingered hot aud dry as Tophet in the
lap of autumn, ?.nd promises to lr.st i
until about the first of January.
Tho most remarkable dronghyflH
modem times is now scorching ?ind
parching the earth's surface. It has
lasted in almost every - section of thc
United State's for nearly six weeks,
and having assumed a chronic typo
about the 21st or 22d of September,
the usual equinoctial storms were
frightened away. We receive from
all sections of the ?mozxthe most dis?
tressing account of the effects of the
drought, in destroying vegetation,
drying up water courses and prevent?
ing agricrjtnral operations. There
are, we learn, in the Counties around
Richmond, many farms upon which
every stream has been dried np, and
cattle have to be driven miles for
water."
IMPORTANT TO MINISTERS.-Minis?
ters of the Gospel are required by
law to affix a five cent revenue stamp
to each certificate of marriage they
may return to the clerk's office. This I
is necessary before it can be admitted j
to record. We would also state in
this connection, that a failure to affix
the proper stamps to any ?instrument
of writing requiring the same, sub?
jects the party executing such instru- ?
ment to a penalty of $200.
A ?^TBOT-BATKKOTICJIS.-The Boston
Post gives Charles Sumner the follow?
ing first-rate notice:
Mr. Sumner's pompous assumption
of the office of dictatorio the Ame?
rican Government and people, cannot
fail to create derision' and dsgust
among .sensible folk. His inflated
Style and elaborate pronunciamentoes
shame Santa Anna's proclamations to
the; Mexicans, while his swell and
strut are as absurd as the attempt of
the monte black-leg to rule a nation
by fulminations from his West India
Island. Sumner has abundance of
gas at his command, but not the kind
to raise him to the attitude of com?
mon sense or political truth. He was
spo?ed in the shell, and all his states?
manship is addled. He manifests no
conception of the true greatness of a
country-of its vast products-its
mechanical ingenuity and enterprise.
Instead of regarding the Erie Canal
as an artery of the nation's life, he
would have it filled up if told- that
negro children were hable to be
drowned in its waters; instead of con?
templating the great power of trans?
portation afforded by our gigantic
railroads and their influence in bind?
ing the country together, he would
endeavor to provide seats for negroes
in the cars, or in looking after tho
dikes, storks and vermin of Holland,
or soaring toward those regionB of his
fancy, rise far above this bread and
butter world into the realms of beati?
fied spirits where John Brown is
marching on.
MAJRRIAGL IN NORTH CAROLINA.
Tlie Raleigh Standard, of 20th ultimo,
says :
We have heard various complaints
from different portions of the State,
in objection to o supposed regulation,
to the fact that ladies were required
to take the oath Vbfore they were
permitted to marry. Such was at
one time the military order, but we
are happy to say that civil law is so
far restored that this hard and incon?
venient regulation has been abolished;
and now, any and every lady in North
Carolina is free to marry when and
whom she pleases without taking the
oath of allegiance, except to her
spouse, which wo hope to see duly
administered.
By a winding vessel arrivfid at New
London from the Arctic Ocean, the
Journal of Commerce has advices from
Captain C. H. Hall, the explorer,
who left the United States in 1864,
under tho patnmage of Henry Grin-"
nell, Esq., of Now York. Mr. Hall's
letters were exp-essed 150 miles over
the ice by dog-sictlges, to reach thc
open sea. He writes in good spirits,
having obtained much valuable in?
formation in regard to the Franklin
expedition.
Lady L. Duncan was an heiress,
and Sh- W. Duncan was her physician
during a severe illness. One day she
told him she had made up her mind
to marry, and upon his asking the
name of the fortunate chosen one, sjie
bade him go home and open his Bible,
giving him chapter and verse1, and he
would find out. He did so, and read
what Nathan said unto David, "Thou
art the man!"
A frequenter of our sanctum says
he has grown HO desperate that he
will have money if he lias to work
for it.
