SENATOR PERRY'S LETTER. Tho following is the conclusion of the recent letter of Boantor Perry ojiginally published in tho National Intclligcncr : It would eeein that the objeot of tho radical party in Congress, in .offering so many amendments to tho Constitution, and in insisting on tho applicat ion of tbo test oath to members of Congress, was to perpetuate their power in the Goverment. Instead of Laving this effect, however, it will moro than likely have just the opp'osito tendency. Their amendments will never bo adop f ?-- ilm .1 led l>y yireo-iwuriiHs ui mo umius, ^uu their continued exclusion of the Southern members mu3t produco a reaction against them^whon they go beforo the people again. If the Southern members were all admitted, the radical party would still have a majority in both Houses. They need not, therefore, be afraid of the sceptre departing from Judah, during tho Thirty-ninth Congress. It is true their majority would be diminished, and it is possiblo that a measure like that of the Freed menBureau bill might have been endangered on its passage, if the Southern Representatives had been permitted to show its monstrous injustice to its demoralizing influence on the freed? mnn. its ruinous conscpuences to the culture of the Sea island cotlon, and staitling expenditures it will require to support the idlo and vicious negroes, who will not work, and nre to be fed and clothed by tho Government. This bill Inses the poor white man throughout the North to support tlio vicious and vagrant Southern negro. It lakes from the planter his home without consideration and turns his wife and chilidrne outdoors to perish, in order that his ] former slaves may not be under the neces- ' sity of making a contract to work those ( lands, but be able to live on them in idle- s nef=s, and get their support from the Freed- , men's Bureau. ' As an evidenco of the boasted loyalty ( and good couduct of these negroes, it may ' be stated that a party of gentlemen from . nf Vitnticitlronia iMcI'fl/1 nnn aT 1 tbo islands near Charleston the other day, , with written permission from Gen. Sickles. < The negroes captured the party, in viola- ( tion of military orders, and were going to j massacre the whole party of them; marched them; twelve miles across the island, i and treated them with the greatest indig? nity tlie wholo route! Those are the peo? c pie who aro to be allowed to vote, and elect , out of their number a member of Con- I gressl * The Southern people have beeu peculiar- ? ly unfortunate. At one time they thought it better to withdraw their members from i Congress, and live separately from the | North". This they desired to do peaceably y and quietly. The North objected, and de- I dared that the Union 6hould not be die? H solved. They; were repeatedly told that the}' must lay down their arms, elect their t members of Congress,- and resume their i position in the Union. Finally they con- r sented to do so. Now they are told that * the Union is dissolved, and they shall not J be allowed to resume their'place3 in ill Let t the North beware, lest in forging chains .* for the South they do not enclose them- f TbiB Freedmen'b Bureau ib an impcrium in fc cmperio, and now embraces the North as a well as the South. ^ f But I am not disposOT'to despair of the t llepuhlic.

I was onco excluded from office b in South Carolina by a test oath on account ' of my Union principles. I did not then '' dospair, and I do not now. That oath was ^ carried beforo an independant and enlight- h ened judiciary of and State, and it was de? a\ dared unconstitutional. If. the .present a test oath can ever be brought before a similar tribunal in the capitol, it muBt share the same fate.

B. F. TERRY "Willard'b Hotel, February 1G .1800. LIVE WIVES AND DEAD HUSBANDS. There's John, rending his newspapers. You might. drive noils into his tpuiples, and ho wouldu't know it Look at him! Lees upl Head thrown back. The inevitable and omnipresent pipe in hia mouth ; the very picture of absorbed enjoyment. Threw papers he has there. lie will rend every one, criss-cross, cornerwise, U|it>ide down, and inside out, till he has gleaned every particle of news. One good hour he has been at it. Now if I say to him, "John, what is the news this morning?" that man will replv, "Oh, none?nothing in particular; there llicy are; tako 'em if you would like." Now nobody in his sonK-s believes tliat John lias been employed one good hour reading " nothing." He is just too lnzy to tell what ho line read, that's the amount of it. Now I liod much rather read those papers than-mend this coat of hie. 11 is really too bad in John; bo might have given me something to think about, while I was doing it. An idea? Suppose I try this lazy aystem on him. ' Now if there's anything men like, when their wives come home with a budget of news, it is to have them (it down and entertain them wi|Ji it. Not about troubles of servants and broken crockery, of course; but spicy liitlo bi's of gossip; about their friend Jones' wife, and what the witty Mrs.??said on 6uch an occasion, and how the pretty and saucy Miss snid if she were Smith's wife she would??. Oh, don't they like to hear all about it! and don't they like to question them as to how women tbiuk and feel an euch and such subjects, which information mey can Only obtain by their wives turning itate'a-evidencei Of course they Jo; and wlieu i bright little woman line chattercd to them in hour or tuorc, and told them more funny ind amusing things than you nould count, and .hey have laughed and enjoyed it, what return lo the}' makef Why they just stretch their ength on the sofa ond go to sleep. Now I .ell you what:?I for one have born? this itate of things long enough 1 It is nil owing o that vile lethargio tobacco. Before long ve women will bo expccted to cut up their rictuals and feed them; they will be too lazy iven to eat. Now 1'U tell you what I mean 0 do. I atn going to stop giving out., au3 cut >ff supplies, till I get something back. I'll ust try the monosylabic sj-stetn on John. He vill eay to night, "Well, Mary, where have ,-ou beeu to day? and what have you seen?" \ud I'll just answer, bending Over my work, 'Oh, I went round a little, and I didn't see inything in particular." Then John will take 1 scrutinizing look at me, and ask if I have he headache; and I shall answer sweetly, 'No, dear." Then John will try again; Well, Hary, did you go shopping?" "I! no?oh.no, lear. I didn't go shopping to-daj1." Another ook at mc, and another period of reflection. 'Have you heard any bad news, Mary!" 'No, John, I hope not" "Wsll?what the nischief makes you so silent! You generally ia\ie so much to tell mfe, and you aometlines ;et off a very bright tbipg, if you did but mow it. Something is the matter with you : vhatisit?" and John will come round and >eep into -my face. "Oh I pshaw?I kqow; 'ou are paying me off for not talking," he will ay,- half vex^d, h*lf repentant. Then I shall'get up on a chair, in the midlie of tho room arid hold forth. Yea, John? hat's just it You haven!t the ghost of an dea how horrid stupid you're grown. Don't hate that lethargic tobacco 1 It is going to evolutionize society, let me tell you. "We vomen are squirrel-like creatures and can't tand it. No wonder all these awful trials fill he papers. You needn't laugh. I tell you it akes two to make home bright. Don't you nppose, you lazy thing, that- a woman is as audi perplexed and worried and sick of the >ractical, at the end of the dny, as a man can >e f Da you suppose she always feels like ;?ving out the last remnant of her vitality to tmuse a statue I I tell you she wants a res lonsc ; ana site woua nave it, too, if a man's oul nod body were not so tobaoeo steeped, hat ev&ry hdb? and feeliug re merged in the inc drowsy desir-e to let lhc world and eveything in it, including its wives, go to the logs. And (hey are goir <*. John I Now, lasty and .finally, I tell \ u and all other Johns vho may read this, that it is-the worst possible loliey on your part, as you'd see if yoa ever ead tlie papers with an eye to yot?r own fire- % ides, which you don't. You enn wonder how Imith'B wife, or how Jones' wife, eould ever ave done thus and so ; but it never enters onr slow heads to ask if the homes of these rives wore silent and cheeriest, ond if their lUBbands took all their attempts to enliven hem as matters, of bourse, and gave no' echo ?ck; aud that being-tho ease,, whether the right sunbeams outside,"might not glitter too Knptingly>for their weariness." -And here I ball jump down from tneehair, and, looking t John, shall see?that he is /cut atltep.
