That greats conclave of Amencau a Solons, the Republican Senate, is a strange body, and passes some strange iifita. Probablv the most statesman like measure ever inaugurated by these, our national guardians, is the intro duction by the Senate Committee on Agriculture to investigate grasshop ners. "Reports favorably upon a bill to investigate grasshoppers !" Could meaning be plainer, or could language possibly be more beautiful and expres sive. Our dictionary defines an investi gation as a searching or finding out, From all descriptions Of these musical insects, it does not require an act oi a e the United States Government to find where they encamp- A man might out into some of the Western Stated in crop time witn a Bnerin s warrant and arrest in a half an hour more of these hungry creatures than be could possibly care for ; at least the papers of that section declare like the ocusts of Egypt, they blacken tne country for miles around, ana even break the limbs of the trees with their weight. So probably to find them is not the intent of this rare and extraordinary bill. We think the originators of this startling conclusion are naturalists, and that the grasshopper is a.source of great perplexity to them. They cannot understand his wonderful phy siognony ; he sings, and they cannot conceive how he manages to do it; he is exceedingly athletic in his Bports, and they have failed to discover where in lies the secret spings ot his aston ishing activity ; moreover he is rather small in statue and they are sorely puzzled to know bow he manages to hold all he daily devours, and he can both jump and fly at the same time, they have never seen any other ani mals posseesed of such varied accom plishments, and so have concluded to investigate him closely and be satis fied in their enquiring minds. May their mission prove successful. MEDITATING- A CHANGE. We call attention to the proceedings of a large body of Representative col ored people from all States, asking recognition at the hands of the Demo cratic party. They are now in Wash ington Citv, and their action evideatly shows that thev are heartily tired of being imposed upon and used as a cat's paw by the unscrupulous Republicans of the Southern "States. It is an indi cation of a better and a more cordial feeling between the two races ; and we are gratified tosee that the colored popu- tion are slowly but surely finding out the fact that they can gain no material good by opposing longer the intelli gent and respectable tax-payers with whom they live. We moreover feel confident that the back-bone of Radi calism in the South is now broken for ever, and that the administration party can never again poll the undi vided colored vote. WHO WAS IT ? LET HIM SPEAK. The National Republican is disposed to make merry over the effort of one of our delegates who attempted to discourse upon the subject of temper ance and thus humorously expresses it : "He was a big gun from North Carolina, and he was called upon to speak at the Congressional temperance meeting night before last. He arose with the air of one about to do some thing that would shine and shine. He said 'if there be any gentleman pres- who is a farther or mother' and then the snickers drowned his voice, and it was a long time before he saw where the laugh came in. To A Dot.

One hundred years ago farmers did not cut their legs off with mowingma chines. One hundred years ago our mothers did not worry over disordered sewing machines. . One hundred years ago horses which could trot a mile in 2:14 were some what scarce. , " One hundred years ago it took sev eral days to procure a divorce and find a congenial spirit. One hundred years ago there were no disputes about the impoliteness of street car drivers. One hundred years ago every young man was not an applicant for a posi tion as a clerk or book-keeper. One hundred years seo . kerosene lamps did not explode and assist women to shuffle off this mortal coil. j-, One hundred years ago men did not commit suicide by going up in balloons and coming down without them. One hundred years ago thera were no third term millionaire bishops to stir up the waters of partisan poli tics. One hundred years ago there were no Turkish, harems at Salt Lake, and no Ann Elizas suing for the nine teenth part of a divorce.

One hundred years ago men were not running about over the country with millions of fish eggs to be hatch ed to order. Fish superintended their own hatching in those days. One hundred years ago people did not worry about rapid transit and cheap transportation, but threw their grain crops across the backs of their horses, and uncomplainingly "went to the mill." One hundred years ago every man cut his coat according to his cloth, everv man was estimated at his real 'value,' shoddy was not known, nobody had struck "lie, and true merit and honest worth were the only grounds for promotion. A Bold and unexpected Departure Colored Men. of Washington March 1. A Bligdon, a reoresentative of the Colored men's meetine. called at the rooms oi . ... . r the Democratic National com mittee to day, asking political recog nition.. Their printed declaration, which was adopted by a large meeting held here on Friday, Febuary 28th, commences: "We colored men representing near ly all the States and Territories of the United States," and concludas: We are tired of our self imposed party yoke and its injustice and flagrant disregard of the constitution, so as to trample down .Local belt (jovernment and insult our brave and well dis posed fellow-citizens of the South, and we earnestly believe that a division of the solid vote of colored Voters will greatly act upon the two great parties and thereiore we propose to stand uy principles and wiil support only those men who will do the most lor us. This policy, we believe, will ensure to the lasting tranquility of the country, and especially a return to good feel ing between tha late master and now free citizen will follow. We invoke the blessings of Almighty God upon this carefully considered departure and in vite the hearty and cordial co-operation of the colored people of the whole country who, like us, have cause for well grounded complaint, to organize to.their principle, that their ballots may secure the peace oi the country, the fraternization of all the sections of our indivisible republic The committee on resolutions is Gar land H White, of North Carolina, Howard C.

Away down among tne Aiiegnanies mere is a spring so small that a single ox, in a summer's day, couiu drain it ury. it steals its unobtrusive way among tbe hills till it spreads out in the beautiful Ohio. Thence it stretcnes away a thousand miles leaving on its banks more than a hundred villiages and ci ties, and manv a cultivated farm and bearing a half thousand steamboats, Then ioinine the Musisisppi, it stretches away some twelve hundred more, till it falls into the emblem of eternity. It is one of the greatest tributaries of the ocean which obedi ent only to liod, shall roar and roar till the angel with one foot on the sea and the other on the land, shall lift up his hand and swear that time shall be no longer. So with moral influence. It is a rill a rivulet a river an ocean and is boundless and fathom less as eternity. The following was a part of a young attorney's peroration on argument of demurrer m one ol our courts : "may it please your Honor, this is a stupend ous question. Its decision by you this day will live injudicial history lone after vou and I shall have passed from this scene of earthly glory and sublunary vanity ; when the tower of .Fisea shall be forgotten : wnen water loo : and Borodino, shall grow dim in the distant cycles of recording, ceq turies when, the names prEugene, Marlboroueh and .Napoleon are no longer "remenbered; when the pyra mida of the Pharaos shall have crum bled into dast ! whsn the hippopota' mus shall cease to inhabit its native Nile! ten then your ruling upon this demurrer.will still, surviye in -the antique columns of legal lore as resb , green and imperishable, as a, Big Thompson graBs hopper or a Colorado potato bug." . ' V ' - ;Slimy .Things With' Xeffs. wlt'is i with" no personal liostility; to members of the Republican party that we commence this article. But it is strange, passing strange, how any Southern white man who has any State pride, friendship for his wkite neighbors or respect for himself can vote with the Republicans. - Strange when we think what is required of a man before he can get the confidence of the Northern wing of that party, for we will suDDOse that all this is . re quired of him. and that it is not done except to entitle him to some bone that is flunff bv the ReDublican ad ministration. Not only must a man renounce all sympathy with Jefferson Davis and the Southern Confederacy, but he must vilify and abuse the Con federate livine and dead, he must misrepresent and curse every South- I em man who is a Democrat, he must manufacture lies to deceive the hon est Northern people, he must slander his Democratic neighbors in order to excite the wrath of theNorth, he must contribute his mite to keep the hatred hot. Whatever the lie be in ragard to his section, he must help to circulate it. Of their Southern editors ana politicians it is required to publish and proclaim from every office and stump every vile thing that malice can concieve or hatred suggest against the Southern people. The columns of the Chicago Inter-Ocean and Washing ton Republican are searched for the vilest and dirtiest slanders against this section that these mongers may reproduce and circulate them. With a few honorable exceptions the Radi cal nress and politicians of North Car olina surpass in vindictiveness and abject "hellery" those of any Southern or even Northern State. When we look at the political sea of North Car olina we are reminded of a horrible description in the Ancient Mariner: "The very deep did rot Oh! Christ, that ever this should be ! Yea, slimy things did crawl with legs f Upon a slimy sear' Slimy slanderers 1 It is enough to make one's blood curdle to see them on the eve of a political campaign whetting their knives and grinning hideously as they prepare to dissect the dead body of the Confederacy. Savs a-French author : "Not the guill otine with its victims by the million, not the desolating wars of Napoleon made Frenchman bhish for France, but 'twas when the English, the an cient enemies of their country, enter ed Paris amid the cheers of the na tives, that true Frenchmen grew sick at heart and hung their heads for very shame. So it is with Southerners. Little do they care for the howlings of Wendell Phillips and other New England fanatics, bnt when the friends of their childhood, the boys with whom they erew un. the men whom they meet in dailv intercourse and to many of whom they are bound by ties of blood and marriage; when these turn upon the impoverished South and throw up thair hats for her bitterest enemies, it is then all true men hang their heads for very shame. Morganton Blade Fables. THE rHVSICIAX AND THE HYEKA. A Dhvsician who. with a wallet upon his back, had gone out one dark and cheerless night to contemplate the beartiea of nature in the vicinity of a churchyard, thought that he heard a sound from a newly-made grave Cautiously hastening thither, what was his indignation to see a hyena tearing revenously at the sods! Seiz- t-i "n ing a ppaae, wnicn proviaenuany was in his wallet, with one blow he laid the animal dead. Moral Two of a trade can never agree. THE VAIN RHINOCEROS. A rhinoceros, who was drinking at a limpid stream, observed therein the reflected image of his horn and legs. Alas!" ouoth he, "that an animal with such massive legs should be dis figured by so insignificant a horn.' At this moment his meditations were interrupted by the baying of a pack of hounds. Awav he tied, but his legs refused to convey him with sufficient speed, and, turning around as tne nay . L '. i " i i j? ing pacK gained on nim, ne uisseuuna ted crude sausage meat and driving gloves over that section of the conti nent. "1 see, he cried, as ne exaitea ... . . I., the last hound into the spacious hrma ment on hiffh. "that the legs I ad mired would have proved my ruin had not my despised born insured my safety." Moral acme people don t Know what's.good for them. THE MISSIONARY AND THE TIGER. As the pious missionary was travel ing through the Jungle, he chanced to observe a loepard lying uner a plan tain tree. Being unoesirous of intrud ine unon the animal's privacy, he made a wide detour, and was so un fortunate as to encounter beneath i lofty bamboo a tiger. "What do you here?" demanded the fierce animal, in an angry voice. it is rather i wne should ask that question," replied the missionary ; "for I left you but a mo ment since beneath that plantain, and now here you are again, wheras the scripture expressly teaches you that the leopard cannot change his spots." "It does," replied the tiger ; '-but I am a creature of quite another stripe." So saying he sprang upon themission ary and devoured him. Moral There are exceptions ' to every rule.
