THE HEP UBLIC I2T I?ER1L. \ ] Gen. Morgan, of Ohio, io Miis speech j j in Congress, echoed, we belielre, the fast ? - growing conviotiou in them minds of j many men, that the radical lAaders have 1 far deeper and more dangerous designs [ in view than tho mere retention of the < Government patronage. Since tho very beginning of the anti-slaverm- agitation, forty years ago, the policy of M the radicals has been uniform and consistent. It commenced with striking flt several of tb*>2 ndamen tal provisions oflf the consti? tutum. I - ? , ,. , . compact; and asHthe radical party na?. |B , another of tt?a8ed la Pow*. one siter cnn system have LT"*8 ?\Republi down.

Another dangerous iuuova has been the direct interference of BJ^k* radical le^Jors, by meaas of Con r ?fess, in t?o ;_ia,."ai eiSda^ ?W? fl tates. T?m years ago tb ero wouw^ive been on ! outburst of popular indkuation if nnv; prominent statesmen ha- P*-f ?3*?l to j regulate suffrage in the ?t>les- Now' 118 the Now York JV*ifs Bayf not only does l Congross diotate who tftiall and who shall not vote, but it actually goes to the length of overturning StalP governments and setting up new onelwhtoh will be pliant to its will. ThiAas done last month in the case of GeoBf- The pre? tense was that the State wB*ot vet ; reooustructed. The or^-a1T0**;? bas served, however, for eJHriug & uew wedge. The next aB000 move meut is already arHfent. Just before the reoess, a WB^'cal intro- | doced into tho House of ^^ftresentatives a proposition to overthiBr a?d re-or- , ganize, on a radical baaiV tho internal government of the StateB>f Tennessee. It is heralded from. Wasdpgtcn that the ball will be put in motiJi by Butler as soon as Congress re-asstsnbles. If any State bas been recognized as in the ! Union during tho past flvo years, it uer- j tainly has been Tennessee. If Congress ; interferes in that locality, there will be 1 no question of its design'to iuterfero ul timatsly in the other States. From Ten- j nessee, the radicals woulflj if they dared | to, turn to New York, wjiere an obnox- ! ions Democratic Governor and Legisla tore are in power. If thr people submit, as they have submitted ill along, to the encroachments of r?chet liam, it will not bo many years before SU to individuality will be suppressed entii ely, and every part of tho country will JO governed di? rectly from tho centn 1 authority at Washington. This will be a pure des? potism, just such as exists iu Russia, ? where tho headship is ic the Czar; just j such as existed in Franc > in 1793, when the National Assembly was the sole, power in the land. T< (his end, the i American republic is be ng rapidly hur- j ried. The design of th i radicals, from the outset, has been to s bvert our insti-1 tutions, and they have al aady thrown off j the mask. Are the peof o prepared for j their fetters? asks the ? nos. Will they allow all their constitutif nal rights to be j taken from them, witho t a bloody re? sistance? Several State Legislatures aro now in session-New York, Massachusetts, Penn? sylvania, Ohio. Af"vfrLl aud South Carolina; Georgia, North Carolina and Alabama convene on Monday next. The four last aro decidedly Republican. New York is Democratic in both branches, and Pennsylvania Republican. Ohio is so close that neither party is oertainly in the ascendant, ns the members from Hamilton County, including Cincinnati? wero elected on a "mixed" ticket, and hold tho "balance of power." The Ma? ryland Legislature is oomposed entirely of Demoorats and conservatives. Tb? Term "Carpet-Bagger" Defined. We observo that tho effort is mudo in I oertain quarters tu confound tho o'SSH of ' '.carpet-baggers" with the oluss of gouu- j ino settlers from abroad. This will not A "io. Wc dc cot intend thal tho "carpet-, ! bagger" shall hide himself under the j wing of tho Northern settler. The j Southern people have a hearty welcome , for tho men from tho North who come < hero to live honestly and to deal fairly, j The Now York Sunday News observes, j ivith truth: , "Butler fancied that he made a good < soin?, in the House, the other day, when 1 m alluded to a Democratic nienaber of . Congress, ropresenting this city, as a j carpet-bagger from Ohio.* The radi-j : sals intentionally pervert tho meaning of t the term. Wo believe it originated in I \ ,ho South sinuo theoloso of the war, and j i ivas uppiieii by ?he Southern peoplo to ! | the horde of strangers, with carpot-bags ! i in their bunds, who flocked down upon i them in the trail of tho army. Themen | with carpet-bags carno not to stay, but to | ; pick up anything within their reach, and | i ?o home again. They were distinguished , ; from peoplo who came to settle penna- j i ncntly. No Northern man who hus lo- j sated iu tho South with th% purpose of ( making it his future home, andofbecom- |i iug identified with its iuterests, is re-|< yarded by the .Southern pooplo as a car- ! j pot-bagger. But there aro hundreds und I thousands of Northern men thero who I were utterly without a character at homo, | iud who have straggled down that way. j ?nd squatted among tho negroes, with | tho avowed design of living in their midst only ns lo ag as they cnn make it , profitable. Many of these men, under ; : tho system of military rulo enforced by the Government, aro iu high places. ! They do not hesitate to avow themselves j ; temporary sojourners. When Governor j Scott, of South Carolina, visits Ohio, he ipeaks of going'home.' Senator Welsh, ii Florida, still claims to be a citizen of j Michigan. Rev. B. F. Whittemoro, of Boston, a member of the lower house | from South Carolina, ia notoriously iu- ? resting all he can mako out of his posi lion in real estate in Massachusetts. He j is even building a handsome residence near Boston to be ocoupied by himself, ! when tho negroes of his district in South ! Carolina thall bo ready to repudiate him. j Ibero are but very few Southern Con-1 gressmen of Northern birth who do not desigu ultimately to return to their old homes, to enjoy the fruits ot their raid upon tho section in which they now live. These men ore carpet-baggers. Their mission to the South is entirely a merce? nary and selfish one. They care noth? ing for tho peoplo, white or black, be? yond what they can make out of them; and they should in no wise bo confound? ed with bona fide settlers, whether the place of settlement be in Alabama or Now York." Tree Planting. Mn. EDITOR: The time for planting shade trees is rapidly approaching, and tho numerous failures of those planted last year induce nie to make some sug? gestions as to tho cause of failure. Tn Iriincpliuitiug a young tree, its previous j I ct>Mition in iu aspect toward the sun, j r"hd itB depth beneath the Burface, should ? I be -?-d ns ncarbt^^JP**!?**?.

Lot the hole in which the tree is to be placed be deep enough to allow a couple of barrow-fulls of good earth be- : neath and around it, and when planted, ! put a box eight feet high around it, to sustain it in its place, and protect it . from the assaults of animals. Those suggestions attended to, there will be, I predict, seldom a necessity for replant? ing SHADE. I - Mit. EDITOR: In the speech written for I Beverly Nash to recite before his people ' on "emancipation day," there is but a j faint recognition of the providence of ; God, shoved in, as it were, between thc i work of tho abolitionists tnd that of the ruffian hordes of mercenaries, called the United States armies. Tho reference to ! the God of all truth is a mere formal mode of speech, and in this caso must have been furnished either by Jews, who have abandoned their religion as well as J their race and country, or by some prowl- j ing carpet-bagger, from infidel and ndul- j terona Now England, who being himself j in abolitionist, knows that abolition is no moro God's work than woro the blas? phemies, the robberies, the murders, the burnings, the rapes, and all other abomi? nations, which were tho true "forces" that procured emancipation. Whoever j wrote Nash's speech knows that God had , nothing to do with emancipation, except : to allow it for tho perverseness and cou- 1 Jemnation of the people of New Eug land-unless they repent of it hereafter ', oj ample reparation to the poor negro. Mot such reparation as they are now nukiug, of drnggiug him from a lenient (lavery, gradually Blackening, with his it ness fur freedom and a pure, simple !hristianity,tnught by Capers, Talley and Curtin, to tho brutisli servitude of u ?cense which is destroying him on earth, ind an infidelity which will exelnde him rom Heaven. Theso Now England demons, who havo ?orno here in the outward form of "car- ] >et baggers," ore abolition, infidelity, adultery and blasphemy. Thoy first in- j 'aded, and were ardently cherished in the ' louses und homes of the "aweet New Sngland village. " In thoso genial places hey grew uutil they were prepared to lour forth their legioua-their "forces'*- j o ?mancip?t o the negro, and what is still i rorse, to Yankee-fy tue wbito man of the1 louth, by educating him to thc usc of heir "for?es." Even in a Bpeeh written or this poor, restless negro, Nash, to cad tc his fellows, they dara not use the ?ame of tho Emancipator of sinners ho meek and lowly Jesns-for it is a ?ame abhorrent to devils. Instead, they ; a volco tho name of a foul buffoon, whose : ;rim jests cost oceans of blood; and of i , miserable poltroon, who wont whining j iver the world with tho lash-marks on lis back. And such is the God, and such he Evangel, of thoso who write the pooches they put in tito mouths of un oppy Noshes, on omanoipation day. APPOMATTOX. . .Daddy Ci?In" In Edgexfold. "Daddy Cain" is a mau somewhat known to fame. Ho is a negro ; not a Mulatto, not u quadroon, nor an octo? roon, nor a brown nan, nor a molasses sandy-colored-mau, nur anything of that liiggfody piggledy kind ; but a true, law? ful and very respectable negro. He is i oaroot-baggnr . hut .? do not know from wheoco he hails. Nor do we know why he ia universally called "Daddy Cain." He ia apparently between forty tive and fifty years of age. Ho is Senator in the General Assembly of tho State of jont li Carolina, from Charleston. He is i minister of the Gospel in the Metho list Church. And moreover, he is edi? tor and proprietor of the Missionary Record, a pious radical paper published lu Charleston. In his different callings, Daddy Caiu is a moderate, sensible, con? ns t<> ut mau. If we mistake not, he stands well nmoug the white people of Charles ton. The members of the Legislature i o from Edgefield invited him hither to i c make a ?peech. Ho made his uppear inco on Saturday lust, and addressed the people, mostly negroes, from tho Court House portico. The meoting was called to order aud presided over by Philip Eichelberger, who, like Daddy Cain, is ?Iso known to fame. As a presiding of? ficer, Phil, is neither steady, Anent, nor graceful. Ail his little announcements, statements and introductions aro hastily soncluded with a convulsive snap, as if be wished to snap himself and his de? luded followers out of tho froo air of beaven into tho murky shados of tho more congenial Club House. While not m active duty us Chairman, he sits iu [earful and ponderous stillness, ns if his mighty mind wore evolving gigautio propositions from tho profundity of |its mysterious self. Cain's speech was such a ono os enti? tles him to thc respect of all colors and ill parties. It was full of good souse, good feeling and good advice And it was moreover wull delivered and in ex? cellent English. Unlike the groat mass of radical speakers, ho said not a word to mislead tho negroes and array them in revengeful spirit against their former j t masters aud tho whito race generally. I s He said a good deal upon many topics of , & the day, calculated to enlighten them, c He strongly advised them not to expect e land from the Government; and assured y thom the only feasible way to got laud, was to work and pay for it. Nor did he tell them to demand $2.00 per day as ? < wagos, and do, for tho same, about ton j < cents' worth of work. i At the conclusion of Cain's speech, i ' which gavo much pleasuro to whito aud black, and had a decidedly good influ? ence upon both, a motion was made that a committee bo appointed to wait upon gentlemen of "the opposite porty" and invite thom to address thc audience also. This committee waited upon Gens. Gary and Butler; and, as Gen. Butler remark? ed, in his brief speech, made their re? quest in such fair terms and generous i ? spirit, that they (tho gentlemen afore- j said) could r.ot refuse to meet them half ' 1 way, and consent to address them. Gen. Butler endorsed and reiterated ? 1 the amicable sentiments of Cain, and I 1 said that ho was glad to bo enabled once more to raise bis voice in affairs concern? ing the welfaro of his owu District. His remarks were brief, but wiso nud well timed. Gen. Gary followed, in the same spirit, but did not conclude without painting to the andionco a picture of carpet-bag- ? gera and scaJ^*Ba*Tind umustir at once | mUbl&VinifmkW relish it decinVu- ! Pity they would not heed Gen. G.'s | warning. The chairman, howover, did j not relish this part of tho show at least, as was evinced by his pantomimic snaps and jerks. After threo chcors for tho different speakers, the mooting adjourn-i ed. And haviug been so wisely ad- ? dressed by a sensible and Christian man ! of their own color and of their own j party, and by two honorable and honest gentlemen whom they have known for j so many years, we earnestly hopo the negroes will begin to open their eyes, aud steadily reject tho pernicious teach? ings now so rifo throughout thc land. I Edgefield Advertiser. POISONOUS COSMETICS.-Dr. Harris has . presented to the Board of Health of New ; York a report on tho subject of lead poisoning by the uso of hair washes, cosmetics, ic. He says: "Recently, a death from lead poison? ing occurred in ono of the city hotels. Tho gentleman wus a merchaut of some distinction. He wus killed by the daily uso of a hair wash that is believed to have contained large quantities of the 11 acetate and carbonato of lead. Unfortn- j < nately, we could not ascertain tho name ' 1 or get any samples of tho nostrum, and |1 did uot obtain the evidenco until af ter h death. In view of the importance which ! i attaches to the entire subject of load ! ' poisoning, especially as respects the wator wo drink, the preserved foods in the marts, and tho nostrums that are sold without restraint in the shops, I would respectfully ask the board to take some action by which the sources of lead poisoning shall bo fully reported upon;!* and, further, it seems plaiuly our duty j ' publicly to warn against the uso of any | 8 lotions and cosmetics which thc chemist of this board proves by analysis to con? tain lead in any form, anda list of which will bo given to the board os tho work of chemical aualysis progresses. It would ippeor to be entirely justifiable and duti? ful to prohibit tho salo of tbeso nos- j F trum8, if the board has power to enforce mell prohibition, ns sorao useful ilives ire being lost, and a vnst nmonut of neuralgia and palsiod misery is being produced by such poisoning.

CANADA No LONGER A RBFDOB FOR THIEVES AND SWINDLERS.-The Quebec Mercury says that, on and aftor the 1st nstant, an important net passed at tho ust session of the Dominion Parliament, vith a view of provouting Canada being nado an asylum for thieves and swin llers, went into operation. This net irovides that if any person takes into Junada, or has in Lia pos?e?kion tbarein, ny property stolen, or obtained by raud or false pretenses in any other onntry, in such manner that the stooling ir obtaining it in like manner in Canada could bo felony or misdemeanor, then ho taking of snob property there, or laving it in possession with a knowledge if its being unlawfully obtained, shall io an offence of the samo (naturo and mnishable io the samo manner us if the | teal i rig or unlawful obtai nance had token '.

The circumstances, aa gathered rom ooo of the attorneys engaged for he defence, (outside of tho cou rt-room,) re briefly as follows: Borne years ago, here lived in the town of Washington, n old bachelor, who possessed a sensi lerable amount of property, and had no datives save one, who, it is said, was leedy. Tho iudividnal (bachelor) was aken quite ill, and was advised to make tis will, which ho did, bequeathing all of tis estate to the ohildren of a friend. Fhe news became generally known in tho own of the manner in which the testator tad disposed of his property, leaving out ny consideration to his kindred friend. Voile the man still lingered on his bod >f sickness, it was made up among some >f the friends of the relative, that three >f them should visit the sick man and dvise him to mako a second will, with irovisions for the relief of the kinsman. Consent beiug given, the parties, who, t is said, were all on a "tight," aud who tad no personal interest in the matter, ave the good feeling they entertained or the neglected friend, appointed one if their number to write. The tablo was Irawn up close to the bed-side of the ?ck man, who, as well as ha oould; dil? ated the nature of his bequest. Before he conclusion and signing of tho will, he man diod ; one of the party remarked o tho scribe, "that it was useless to go .n, as the mau was dead us h-I." How iver, after its conclusion, the dead man vus lifted up in a sitting posture and told, the pen was placed betweon his iugers and made lo trace his came, after vhicb, the question was asked, "Do yon cknowledgo this to be your signature ;nd last will?" etc. The dead man, by he aid of those that held him up, nod led assout. The corpse was then qnietly aid down, and the individuals signed heir respective names as witnesses to he instrument. Tho trio who witnessed he will aro now all dead, and tho only coming trouble now, is tho proper cou itructiou of tho will, which, under the lircumstances and under tho influence of in intoxicated brain, tho scribe eome vhnt blended in meaning. Tho Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette throws some new light m tho old impeachment farce. He says hero were three distinct movomeuti vhil-li had in view tho use of money, Tho first involved 850,000, tho Beconc >165,000, and tho third 8100,000 Two of these, tho first and last, wen ?ot on foot by thoso publicly favor og conviction, and each of them hat ramifications whioh extended into tin Renato. The third was tho plot whicl ;he House attempted to have investi gated, but which was allowed to go m further than the farce in which Mr Woolley figured. The first attempt t uso money in the mutter came to th knowledge of Mr. Johnson's friends i tho form of a proposition to bet 850,00 that ho would be acquitted. Tho offc same from partios kuown to be in th confidence of prominent radicals, wh stood before tho country as strong iu peaohmont men. This attempt was nt successful, however, although it coi vinoed those interested that votes conl be obtained fur . mouoy. Mean timi some of the Proa^pQ&j_friends.

They coi eluded after some days hosiitutiou, raise the amount. The sum of 8105,01 was raised. New York raised the mo of it, and New York city furnished tl mau to handle it, or patt of it, in tl person of E. D. Webster. The corre pondent says he does not assert th money was actually paid to any Senato but he leaves it to be inferred that M Johnson's acquittal cost $165,000.

S??SiAiiyjif**?ga] ' ' DIVOBOE.-Tho frequency of divorce, ? subject which hos been again raised, in connection with the late miserable Rich ur ison affair in New York, is a greater scandal and peril to this country than Mormonism, which is mostly a local nui? sance, and practically, outside of tho social influences of our country. The artiole of President Woolsey, of Yulo College, on "Divorce Legislation in the United States," to which we some time ago referred, contains startling facts, which deserve to be repeated and urged upon tho consideration of all good eiti pena. Tho art ?clo is based ou a careful examination of the statistics of twenty three States, inoluding nearly all tho older ones. The causes of divorce are given in the various roports presented to tho Legislatures. In Vermout, out of 571 divorces in five years, there were for adultery, 164; willful desertion, 188; de? sertion, 60; intolerable severity, 126; for ref neal to support, 13; with 20 others, in most of which more causes than ono aro mentioned. In Massachu? setts, out of 1,294 divorces granted in about five years, there wore for adultery, 546, or 42.3 per cent. ; for desertion, 589, or 45.6 per cont.; for cruelty, 122, or 9.4 per cent. ; 15 for intemperance and 21 miscellaneous. Hero tho largo ratio for adultery is startling. Can this repre? sent the real state of the case? In Ohio, ont of 2,681 cases of which tho causes are particularly assigned, there were granted for adultery, 935; for abseoce and negleot, 1,030; for cruelty, 44 ); for intemperance, 196.-Ballimore Sun. MARRIAGE.-Tell us not in idle jingle "marriage is an empty dream;' for the girl is dead that's si ugle, and things aro not what they seem. Life it real, life is earnest, singlo blessedness r iib; "Man thou art, to man retnrnest,' has been spoken of the rib. Not enjoy ment and not sorrow is our destined eut or way, but to act that each to-morrov finds us nearer marriage day.
