As rea peo ts ... tho political aspect of affairs at Washington, we 'cahnot in can dor give an encouraging view?'J Never, before has the march of the Government tt> absolute consolidation ' boon more marked thad/now. Congress, with ita numerical majority, rules and carries measures with o high hand. It is true that a bold Democrat, like Senator Thurman, now and then'.' raises a warn? ing voioe, aud Booka to recall a fanatical Senate to a sense Of ita obligation to our form of go vern me ut. But it seoms to do little good. To party ascendancy every thing is subordinated, and we have a re? public in name only. It remains to be seen whether tho people of the North intend to accept'the revolution in our go? vernment now well nigh thoroughly con? summated. Aa for the people of the South, they aro, for the present, power? less. JEFF. DAVIS* SEAT.-A correspondent in Mississippi asks: "Is it true, as some of the Northern papers continue to as? sert, that the negro Bevels occupies Mr. Davis' old seat in the Senate?" No; it is not true. Thor o was an effort made to secure it for him, but it failed. It was intended that the history of the times should record; as "the grandest provi? dence of the nineteenth century," that the humble negro Hiram Bevels occupied in the United States Senate the seat in which once sat'the arch-traitor Jefferson Davis. And iu order to bring it about, Sumner, Wilson and half a dozen other negro-worshippers approached Senator Boss, of Kansas, and said to him, "Arise, exchango acato with tho man and bro? ther, Bevels, that history may tell, to the perpetual confusion of Southern chi? valry, that a despised negro occupies the seat of the traitor Jeff. Davis." Mr. BOBS looked np from the sheet of paper upon which ho was writing. "So this," naid he, "is tho seat in which Davis used to sit?" "Yes,',* replied Sumner, "it is." "And you and the negro you've got here, want me to get out of it and let tho negro get into it, do you?" "We do," answered Sumner. "Then," said Boss, taking up hispen, "I've'only to say, that I'll see you and the negro-first. " And thus It came to pass-that the "grand provi? dence" for .which the radical muse of history stood waiting, failed to take place. EDUCATION AND SUFFRAGE.-Mr. Bout well, in his speech at the late Bepublican demonstration in Washington over the adoption and' proclamation of the fif? teenth amendment, j natl y said that "the general welfare of the whole people can only be secured by the establish meut of a universal - system of education, with which this country would become an ex? ample of the strength of Bepublican go? vernment^' This point of the necessity of educa? tion to the safe exercise of the franchise is one which canuot bo too strongly em? phasized. That leading Bepublican pa? per, the* New York Times, justly says that '.'to give the vote whore there is no capacity to use it, is to put edge-tools iu the hands of un infant." It goes on to add that the education indispensable to the enfranchised classes is not merely school-book learning, but to teach the capacity of self-reliance and of taking care of themselves. Henceforth, being citizens, the freedmen should neither bu f>atronized nor obstructed. Being no onger the "wards of the nation," but themselves a recognized part of tba na? tion, the Freedmen's Bureau should not henceforth be required. The Times says: "What we need to do for the freedmen, therefore, is not to feed them with the Government spoon, but to welcome them heartily into their franchise, and to eu oourage them to use it well." There can be no question that if the freedmen would remain in reality free, it must be by vir? tue of their own wills and intelligence. This is certainly more sensible thau thu plan of Wendell Phillips, whoso scheme is to furnish outright, at public expense, to euch negro or uegro family a farm, a plow, mules, a season's supply of food and forage, seeds and agricultural tools, a thousand dollars cash, aud for aught we know, an extra bank account to draw upon. This preposterous plan is actually advocated, nod its result would be to educate the freedmen in the path of pau? perism.-Baltimore Sun. THE TROUBLES AND PLUNDERERS OF MEXICO.-Advices from Mexico, March 9, contradict the statement that the re? volutions in that nnfortunato country are subsiding. These disturbances seem to be like wheels withiu wheels, and as numerous as the bandit chiefs who act as leaders, and levy upon a dufenceless population at will, robbing churches and plundering cities with like impunity. A despatch from the city of Mexico, via Havana, says: "Generals Gadeni, Huerta, Martinez, Aquerre, Toledo aud others of tho insur? gent leaders are still in the field, with troops and ammunition, fighting und levying prestamos. There has, how? ever, been no general engagement since the 21st of February, aud the rebel of? ficers are scattering their troops, bush? whacking and making descents on unde? fended villages and towns. An attack on the capital is nevertheless feared. Ne? greta moves about between here and Puebla incognita, and the Government is unable to catch him." TbeNewYnrk Tribune adrpostea en' increase of ''kiDdlier feoliugs towy vd ih? Soothert? peopleI ?o' abflutete e?t?utfaj to >trrj? reoonatr?oti?D.1' The' 'anWAa has hit npbii the only basia at a soUaVre nuion- tba' thing the South has plead and hogged1 fdr, bot in vain-and yet,' thon gb confessedly "absolutely, essen? tial, " bow little ira preys tho necessity has made upon thc Nortboru heart! Wo may go farther and esk, how . often is this kindly spirit Seen to hu i m ate the Tribune, which now, in a moment of freedom from bad passions, raises the flag of friendship! , - Yes, kindness is what (be South asks, and must receive before she can consider herself at heart ? constituent portion of the American Union. And how much of it does she get from any ruling quarter of the North? Gravo legislators, treated with tho welfare and happiness of forty millions of people, ought to be the least influenced by hatred and revenge; jet, every act of legislation regarding the South, for five years past, has been vin? dictive and penal in its nature. Not one liuo of conciliation and friendly regard bas been placed upon the statute book, and seldom does a member of either house of Congress rise to speak, that % volley of denuuoiations and maledictions is not poured forth upon the devoted heads of the Southern people. Instead of recognizing us as brethren and friends, we are characterized os "rebels," "trai? tors" and "outcasts" still, and every I crime iu the decalogue is laid to our charge. lu order to procure material for thi8 unnatural war, and justify medi? tated outrages in the form of enactments against the Southern people, spies and emissaries are sent by tho dominant party iuto every part of the South, to magnify every trifling dispute or infrac? tion of law, und on all possible subjects to bear false witness against us. Is this in harmony with the "kindlier feelings" that Mr. Greeley holds upas "absolutely essential to true reconstruction?" And take the Republican press of the North-the representative and index of publio sentiment-to what extent is its vast influence lent to the inspiration of kindly and fraternal feelings between the two peoples? When, indeed, do we even get a kind word at all from that all powerful source? Are not the Republi? can papers of the North so mauy willing steeds harnessed to the great juggernaut of radicalism, ready to do the bidding of their drivers and go whichever way they will? And is it not a leading idea in the policy of these lutter, that the South has no rights which they are under any obli? gation to respect, and that any legislative outrage upon ber people may be justified by the plea that it is necessary to pro serve tho power of the radical party? Are not a majority of Republican Sena? tors to-day seeking to strike out the Bingham amendment from the Georgia bill, the sole object of which is to give our people control t.f their own govern? ment under the Constitution of the State, und is not this action defended solely on the ground that if elections are allowed at the time prescribed in that instrument, the radicals will be beaten? Is this friendly, or even republican legis? lation, which seeks to prolong the touure of officers in a State beyond the consti? tutional term, and for the reason that if tho Constitution be respected, those officers would be rejeoted by tho people? How is it possible for the people of Geor? gia, or of any other State, South or North, to feel kindly toward a govern? ment which thus by force condemns them to servitude under rulers whom they cordially despise? It is not in human nature to return love for hatred, and fraternal feeling for buffetings and contumely. Mr. Greeley ia right when he say8 there can be no l,lrue reconstruction" so long as this state of feeling at the North shall lust. Instead of uniting, it is, day by day, riving the country still deeper asunder, engendering sectional animosi? ties, and pluutiog seeds iu the hearts of the people that will, sooner or later, as occasion may offer, spring up in the form of swords and bayoneta. The South longa and prays for peace, for justice, for fraternal feeling ..nd treatment, and fearful indeed is tho responsibility of those who auswerher prayers with scorn, and reciprocate her overtures of friend? ship with acts of tyranny and oppression. When, oh, when, shall a kindlier spirit inspiro Lue heart of the North and make us once more a united and harmonious people! Mail's efforts to that holy end seem all in vain, und we can only await in patience and faith the will of Him who, io His own good time, will bring the counsels of the wicked to naught, and restore Justice and Right to their lawful throne. -Savannah Republican. That able and independent radical paper, tho New York Sun, Bays: "Whit teuiore, of South Carolina, the oadetship peddler, has a romantic history. He is a New Englander by birth; inherited a small forteuo; traveled ia Europe and run through the money; became a clerk in Boston; was converted in a camp mecting; preached; joined Ben. Butler's New England brigade as a chaplain; got funds uud other property from the American Missionary Association; was charged with misapplying the funds; ex? horted and lectured the negroes; success? fully led ia a street fight between negroes and soldiers in Darlington, S. C.; received about $2,500 from tho National Republi? can Committee, to bo distributed for electioneering purposes in South Caro? lina; admitted that he appropriated the greater part of the mouey for his own uso to compensate himself for his services while, on the stump; charged the negroes who voted for him tea cents each for the ballots they received; got to Congress und sold that cadetahip, aud is now up for another trip to the National Capi? tal." A Philadelphia urchin, basted by his father for fishing from the dock aud fall? ing iu, thinks "pop couldn't Hoked him worse if he'd drowned." the 16th ?r February, the potfy of.tbq B<T. Babbl B??^Mektfc Of ' Warsaw io Poland, was buried ! in tho' presence bf an i rn meneo concourse of people. Ac? cording to tho strict Jewish ceremonies, no fanerai parade is permitted on suoh an occasion, and yet toe remaios'of this universally beloved man was followed by upwards Of 70,000 people of every 'reli? gions belief.'1 He owed bia great popu? larity not only to his excellent qualities as a preacher and a man,' but eveu more to hts patriotism and zealous support of the Polish nationality against' tho cruel Russification of his country. Tho Rus? sian authorities were so' deeply offended by the sympathies of the people for a man who had so persistently opposed the Russian schemes against Poland, that they did not permit any mention of the funeral in the public prints. These facts, however, were communicated to the press at Berlin, and, in spite of the vigilance of the Russian Government, they were spread over tho whole empire from abroad. EFFECT OF THE FAMINE IN JERUSALEM. A letter bas been received in London from the Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem, which corroborates the statement made on this painful subject by Sir Moses Montefiore. The Bishop, iu his lotter, say s: "A small donkey's load of water costs Gd to the poor Jews, whose family in? come is ls ld per week. Many Moslems and nominal Christians aro iu the samo position. What is most dreadful to con? template is the fact that the springs uear Jerusalem are drying np. But there is another more terrible calamity still. The locusts are spread over the mountains of Judah and Samaria, in the valley of Jor? dan, and in the plain of Sharon and Gali? lee, having come to lay their eggs, which will be hatched before tho harvest, and as the Arabs say that each couple lay 200 eggs, countless millions will appear, eat? ing every green thing, poisoning the grouud, and thus preventing grass grow? ing for the cattle." THE JEFFERSON FAMILY.-A remarka able incident occurred in Washington recently, connected with Mr. Jefferson's engagement at tho theatre. His grand? father, the first Jefferson, it will be re? membered, was at ono time manager of the National Theatre there, and at all times a great favorite. His father, the secoud Joseph Jefferson, was also in his time a manager of the same place The incident was, that ou ono evening the grand-son, the present Mr. Jefferson, his son, Charles Jefferson, (a great grand-son of the first,) aud little Bessie Germon, the great great grand-daughter of the first Jefferson, and grand-daughter of Mrs. Germon, all appeared in the same play. Three generations of one family ia a theatre where two previous genera? tions had appeared. A student at Ann Arbor having re? marked that men had more endurance than women, a lady present said she would liko to soe the youug men of the University laced up ia steel-ribbed cor? sets, with hoops, heavy skirts, trails, high heels, paniers, chignons, and do? zens of hair-pins sticking in their scalps, cooped up in the house year after year, with no exhilarating exercise, no hopes, aims or ambition in life, and seo if they could stand it as well as the girls. "No? thing," said she, "but the fact that wo? men, like cats, have nine lives, enables them to survive tho present regime to which custom dooms the sex." LUCKY MASSACHUSETTS.-When Ben. Butler shall die, Massachusetts will uot bo without a statesman after her own heart. In a late Boston paper, wo fiud the following interesting item about the "coming man:" "Master Albert Walker, of Cambridge, Massachusetts, last week stole his grand? mother's gold ring and oil her silver spoons. He then obtained his sister's savings bank book, drew out all her moooy, and proceeded to make merry with a wicked young woman named Eli? zabeth Brown." Thero is a man in the vicinity of Cedar Keys, Florida, who has twenty-two chil? dren living. Tho family subsist princi? pally on fish and oysters. They have never had a plato uor a cup and saucer in their house. In lieu of cups, they uso gourds and shells. They help them? selves to the cooked fish or oysters from a common large dish, and each member of the family uses his or her own jack? knife for that purpose. Those articles of diet are spread on corn bread, which they make themselves, and then they consume the plaie as well as the food upon it. In this way, the washing of the dishes is wholly obviated. The fami? ly are all healthy and are moro robust than graceful. Among other pleasant customs in Hay ti and San Domingo, whioh go far to recommend the annexation of those fancy-colored paradises, is the following, as described by a colored lecturer: There were two kinds of idolatry prac? ticed in Hayti-that of the Africans and that of the Caribbeans. They had mag? nificent temples, and they sacrificed chil? dren, as well as the lower order of ani? mals, to their gods. The mode of sacrificing a child is to cut its throat, collect the blood in a vessel, burn thu body and collect the ashes. A watchmaker in Meridan, Conn., has on exhibition in his shop an old watch with only an hour hand and a common catgut for a winding-chain. It has a brass case, but was originally enclosed in a huge tortoise shell. The inscription on tho watch is: "W. Leo, No. 2, 1658" making it 212 years old, undoubtedly the oldest running watch in America. It keeps excellent time, not varying two minutes a week. ? ? ? An Ohio mun wants to bet on lady Congressmen within throe years. - Aw,3iOA?.. .Orx?Mt-A. gontleuian of Mqnk^on, Venn OD fc, is engaged in raising poppies', from whloh bo produces opium.

"Druggists toll ns that in the oonhtry farmers' wives use it largely.1 MASSACHUSETTS. -rThe Old Bay State furnished 197 regiments, less than New York, for the late war, 180 less than Pennsylvania and 162 less than Ohio. Yet eho drew from Unole Sam's strong? box, for war expenditures, $1,187,671 more than New York; $1,392,984 more than Pennsylvania and $911,243 more than Ohio. "A good oup of coffee," writes a cer? tain London advertiser, "can now be obtained in London." There is more nowa in this than ono thinks-at least, if we are to believe an old number of the Lancet, in which it was stated that the old ooffiua of the ancient London ceme? teries were collected, ground and mixed with ooffee, "togive it a peculiar flavor." The flavor must have been unique. Touching and irresistible was that in? vitation of tho rustic maiden to her Bwain: "Come over and see me; we have a new lamp at our house that we can turn down, down, down, until thero isn't scarcely a bit of light in tho room." A negro parson in the Weat, preaching ngainet the love of money, concluded his sermon by saying: "And finally, bre? thren, you can judge what God thinks of money, by the class of people ho gives it to." A plucky Alabama girl, near Green? wood, ia Mississippi, a few days since, let drive the contents of a shot-gun into tho eye of a young man named Mullens, who wus forcing his way into her father's house against his consent. An old gentleman, uamed Anderson, thinking, doubtless, "the better the day thc better the deed," hung himself in his barn last Sunday, at Fillmore, in Andrew County, Mo. He was a respecta? ble farmer, formerly of Ohio. A colored preacher in Virginia thus settles tho repudiation question: "Ff a mau got de money, deo he o; ter pay; ef he aiu't got do money, den heortentpay. Data do way I looks ut it." "Though it may not bo in your power," said Marcus, "to bo a Datural? ist, a poet, an orator or a mathematician, it is in your power to be a virtuous man, which is the best of all." Tho following toast was given at a re? cant banquet: "The rights of woman; if sho cannot be captain of a ship, may she always command a smack. " A sq ii i re ia Indianapolis married a cou? ple last week, adapting tho service to mo? dero times, by pronouncing them man and wife, "until separated by law." '.

PALM SUNDAY AND HOLY; WEEK..-Po day ia Palm Sunday, tho commencement of what ia known ?s Hojy or Pa?siou Week, during which is commemorated the sufferings and death of the Saviour of the world. Prom very remote times the seven days immediately preceding the anniversary of the resurrection of Christ, have been set apart by the church as a Beason of peculiar solemnity, to be observed by acts Of penitence, de? votion, fasting and prayer. On Palm Sunday, the Catholic Church celebrates the triumphant entry of Christ into Jerusalem, when the fickle multitude greeted him with shouts of "hosanna," and waving of palms. In Catholic countries on this day, palms are blessed, distributed and carried in procession through tho streets and along tho roads, but in thia country the clergy and those who servo at the altar, only join in the procession along tho aisles of the church and distribute the blessed palms to the worshipping congregation. "To THE PAPERS OF THE STATE.-We have seen Henry's Constitution Renova? tor extensively advertised, and would be glad to know whether anything has ever been paid for the advertisements, or any body cured by tho medicine. We have been stuck to the exteutof one insertion only. We would recommeud our brethren of tho press to send their bills at once to Henry & Co." We copy tho above from ono of our State exchanges; to which we add our own experience. The nominal or so called proprietor of "Henry'3 Constitu? tion Renoval or," is the same individual who so extousively advertised the poi? sonous compound known as "Maggiel'a Pills"-the bills for which were never settled, so far as we have been able to learn. The PHCENTX admits to having been bitten by tho bogus Maggiol con? cern; and afterwards-on account of a similarity of names-advertised for a short time the "Renovator." The pro? prietor called at the address specified in their advertisement-No. 1G, Pearl street, New York-and was informed that no such firm was or ever had been located there-although numerous in? quiries were daily made for them. Upon further investigation, the "office" was found a short distance off-the aforesaid office containing about ten dollars' worth of very old furniture. One of the "partners" had "just stopped out," but the matter would be attended to in a few days, at farthest. A few weeks have elapsed and tho money is not yet forth? coming. This gratuitous notice of the Maggiel-Heury swindlers is inserted for the benefit of publishers generally. Take our advice, and discontinue tho adver? tisements. Don't let Mr. - "stick" you any further by proffers of a column "advertisement." A SOUTHERN BOOK BY A SOUTHERN AUTHOR-"Tho Living Writers of the South," by Jas. Wood Davidson, A. M. We have before us a copy of this work -a recent publication. As might have been anticipated, Mr. Davidson has been somewhat criticized for what has beeu called his crimes of omission in this work. Of course, it was impossible for Mr. Davidson to include every living writer in the South ; and, naturally enough, every male or femalo author not gazetted is inclined to take the ground that the author of " The Living Writers of the South " has executed his task im? perfectly. So far as we have examiued the work, it appears to us that Mr. Davidson has fully carried out his purpose, which bas been to present Southern writers ns they are, and to exhibit the literature of tho Sou h. The volume contains the names of one hundred and sixty-six male and seventy-five female writers. Mr. Davidson's plan has been to give a brief sketch of each writer, a cata? logue of his works, and a passing analysis of his literary attainments. In doing this, Mr. D. was called upon to illustrate tact, taste and jadgment, and these qualities we think he has displayed. It was necessary, too, for him to be at on ce concise in expression and comprehensive in scope, and in these elements he has not been wanting. The work is aa eclectic one. We commend it to our readers. We believe that it will be found to give both interest and information to thc reader. It is for sale by the booksellers here, and every man interested in the intellectual development of tho South ought to get a copy.

Tho la-t Me lical Journal contains an arti? cle from Prof. H. S. Newton, M.

This is, wo believe, the first instance where such medicines havo boen officially endorsed by the Faculty of any of the Medical Colleges, and reflects great crodit upon thu skill of Dr. Lawreuco, its compounder, and also puts "Koskoo" in the VAN of all other medicines of tho present day.
