This in view of the close ness of the Senate. - Senator Patterson, of South Carolina, asserts that the letter addressed over his signature to Klmpton, the former financial agent of South Carolina, is not genuine. That letter badly in volves Patterson in the Republican rascalities in South Carolina, and is sufficient to put him in striped clothing if true. He should haye the I matter cleared up. In the meantime, as the Louisville Courier-Journal pertinently enquires, why does John. James' PattJ terson reside . altogether - out of - the State he pretends to represent in the Senate? i; ''"V. vHB "The friends of Hon.

THB LABOR QUESTION.'- Patrick Ford, editor of the Irish World, of New York City, has lately aidreesed to the' President of the Uni ted States, members' of Congrers, Gov ernors of Stte'arid gmember&of the various State Legislatures, an open let ter on the labor question, which has for several months past been. agitating the minds of. the people of this coun try. Aeopy f lb! letter U now be fore ua. It is an extreipely.vbitterpa-. passailing with greaj Justice some of the most unscrupulous stock-jobbers and money changers of the country, but at the; same titaeappealingvwith eloquent words to the worst feelings of the -laboring masses of the conntry. The writer ascribes the recent strikes, as well as the want which preceded them and the suffering which has followed in their wake, to our dishonest moneta ry system, which deprives the laboring people .of food while it fills, , the pock ets of the stock-gamblers, and at the same time debauches the sense of pub lic justice. The letter writer proposes the follow ing as the remedies, for, the ills under which the country is suffering : Pay the bond lords in lawful money of the United States greenbacks the same money they paid for' the bonds; de monetise gold and silver as a national currency; abolish the national bank ing system; promote more i manufac tures: strike down the principle of usury; issue a legal tender, paper cur rency based not upon gold and silver, which are fluctuating in their value, but upon the real and . immovable wealth of the nation; and as this pa per money is the people's money, based upon their wealth and credit, have it issued to the people without interest, or at a rate of interest not greater than, one per cent.; finally, he recommends the taking possession of mines and railroads of the nation in the name of the people," this last of which is the utterly wild and impractir able raving of a red mouthed com munist. That which is bad in this letter more than over-balances that which is good, and the good sense of the masses of the people will not allow them to be influenced by any such unrighteous ap peals as are drummed into their ears by such seu-styiea "workmemen" as Patrick Ford, Blanton Duncan and the like. "EQUALIZE THE STEALAGE.' Amazement sits upon the brow of the average politician of the North, whether Democrat or Republican, at the impudence of Southern Congress men "Confederate brigadiers" at that who presume to couple loyalty to the Union with a desire to share equally in the material - benefits of a common government expressly intend ed by its founders to "establish justice'' and "promote the general welfare." At the same time it is admitted that, with respect to such benefits, the South has not received justice, but has been a chronic sufferer under a system of rapacity which may be properly char acterized as robbery. We have an ex ample of this admission in the follow ing paragraph from the Chicago Times: "The position,, ofr the. "Confederate brigadiers in the new Congress, accord ing 4,o the .Washington Capital, is pre cisely that" of Col. Mulberry Sellers. They are unfalteringly loyal to the old flag and appropriations. Constitu tionally they are strict constructionists, and opposed on principle to internal mproveinent steals and subsidies. But they are sadly aware of thefact- that while ney were ploying tns? foolish 1 part of the prodigal son, thelorth and West drained tbe treasury and wasted the . national, , domain; in enormous grants to railroads andli profuse expen ditures for the improvement of rivers and harbors, and the construction of public buHdirigatM thati JtbiQori to equalize the stealage." , We do thank the Times for missing this . opportunity to say that we have stolen from the general government.

"Col Thos B Keogh, chairman of the Republican State committee of North Carolina, avers himself a firm support er of the President's policy. Col Keogh says that the people of his State are all for it. Col Keogh is probably the most influential member of the Republican party in North Carolina, and his sup port of the President is therefore of considerable significance." A very picturesque story is told by a White Sulphur Springs correspond ent of the Courier-Journal regarding the widow of Gov. Pickens, of South Carolina. "She was very much grieved," says this correspondent, calm ly, "at a newspaper article concerning herself, which spoke of her accepting Gov; Pickens on condition that he ob tained a foreign mission. She said that it seemed so mercenary, and cal culating in a girl of eighteen. The truth was that she was only a child, and the mission to Russia was the mother's objection to the marriage. Gov. Pickens was rejected, and bad taken his passage for Europe. He wrote a farewell letter to his lady-love, but before concluding said it was not too late for her to change her mind, for if she would telegraph him after receiving tne letter, and accept bis pro posals, he would meet her in New Or leans, and let the steamer sail without him. She did accept, and a few weeks atterward they sailed together as man and wife. The marriage proved happy, nothing but the war interrupting the course of true love. Governor and Mrs. Pickens returned to South C'aro Una about the time that State seceded. During their residence in Europe they had made many purchases of pictures, statuary, furniture, rare laces, and jewels. These arrived at the port of JNew York in a Bailing vessel, a month alter tneir arrival, iwerytning was confiscated. Among the articles were busts of the Governor and his wife by rowers. A New York: gentleman pur chased these at the sale, and after the war was over sent them to the owners in South Carolina." Gold Dollars of the Confederate Fathers. Commenting upon the story which is going the rounds of the press to tne enect tnat an immense treas ure in gold bullion, formerly belonging M) ine jonieaeraie government, is concealed somewhere in the Sunny South, the Richmond Enquirer says : "The case is not put strong enough, and yet the story is implicitly believ ed. The Confederate Government never spent a cent of good hard money, but went on hoarding, and the faster the beys in gray starved" the more the government hoarded. The Northern armies would have been driven into Canada easily if the Con federate Government had devoted a little time to offensive operations in stead of piling up gold bullion. It was not the war that told on Jefferson Da vis and his Cabinet : not at all. The government j exhausted itself looking for cave8-and things to hold barrels of gold that -accumulated daily. We tnank, the utmea for drawing attention to this matter. We have been mis understood 1 Our gold hiding and bullion burying officials have been un justly maligned, and we solemnly affirm that during the war our rulers were gorged with gold to a degree Of positive disablement. It is time the-world should be apprised of this fact." ' The Moffett registering machines have been introduced into nearly all the bar-rooms ia Ricmond, The liquor dealers have abolished the Credit sys tern, and now do business only on a xash basis. A state official who is known throughout the commonwealth of Virginia went into : a : saloon last Monday and ealled for a glass of lager.

You forgot to turn the crank," said he quite; sternly. "Yes ; but you have forgotten to. pay me," was thfl. response, a. nve cent piece fang on the counter, the bell sounded, the dial -icjnoved, - and the bar keeper announced that the public debt 'of Virginia had been reduced half a cent, t " Thb SEvrvAt r of Business.

In one of my former letters from Eagle Pass, I think some mention was made of the negro soldiery posted along the Rio Grande. That mention' was not complimentary. I regret that I have nothing to take !ack in refer ence to it. Our four regiments of blacks, namely, the Ninth and Tenth cavalry and Twenty-fourth and Twens ty-fifth infantry, are next door to use less. The Ninth cavalry is now serving in another department. Ihe other three organizations are at the disposal of General Ord. I am glad to see the negro free. I like to see him respect able and useful when he succeeds in making himself so but his place is not the army.. As a soldier he is, gen erally speaking, the least warlike, the most corrupt, the most ignorant, and the most dishonest defender that ever disgraced the uniform of a nation. This may; be said, with the customary reservations, of the average negro who enlists in the four regiments of our national army devoted to his use and benefit. He is forever peculating. His officers cannot trust him with govern ment property. Not alone will he sell his equipments, but often his clothes to procure whiskey. In his liquor he is a beast. No worn an white or black brown or yellow is safe in his neigh borhood. ', He prefers the white, and when properly roused and fired by drink and stimulated by opportunity, his officers' wives would hardly be held sacred by him. although watch fulness and the special interposition of uivme irroviaence nave, so lar, pre vented him from consumating outrage upon them. No sensible officer would leave his wife unprotected at a post guardedsolely by black soldiers. Sent upon a scout and lying around the ranches looking after cattle thieves, the drunken military soldier's first impulse is to ravish some unfortunate woman. As a natural result he gets shot or stabbed, or creates some ter rible disturbance which necessitates a court-martial. Some of his officers are afraid of the military negro. When intoxicated he is often mutinous, and cases have been known where com manders have been compelled to shoot black sergeants down like dogs by way of example. The negro causes more court-martial than any other element in the army. The Inspector-General of this department, under General Augur, made a report to the Secretary of War which showed thafe the black regiments committed three times as many crimes, in proportion to their numbers, as the white. I do hot make these statements on doubtful author ity. Nearly all military men know how the matter stands. Officers placed in negro regiments feel themselves, in .many cases, slighted. They have to make the best of it, however. Some officers of white regiments frequently epeak of "nigger officers" with a sneer. Decent blacks do not often enlist, and those who do are very Boon corrupted by the others. It is difficult to keep tne regiments h lied up, and no stand ard of good moral character appears to be required. They are, generally speaking, a pack of sneak thieves, and are of low, sensual instincts, who are neither ornamental nor useful on the southern frontier. The Vagrant Act. Down at the east end of the Central Market yester day morning somebody threw the skin of a peach on the flagstones just three seconds before a citizen's foot was planted on the spot. He keeled to starboard, rolled back to port, and then settled away and went down in about seven fathoms of miscellaneous water. As he was getting up, a man who had been eating a raw turnip stepped out and asked: "Are you a vagrant?" " Vagrunt ! Why, sir, I'll knock your infernal nose off!" shouted the vic tim. "Can't help that," continued the turnip-eater. "I saw you when you started to fall; you were clawing this way and that. You could have been convicted of vagrancy then." "What's that? You lie, sir, and 1" "And I can't help that. You had no visible means of support, and that's vagrancy, or I'm a Hessan !" The victim of the fall kept his mouth open for half a minute, wanting to say something, but his jaws finally closed and he backed out of the crowd. De troit Free Press. . ; Mr John Hargrove went to "preach ing" at a country church in Tennessee one night not long ago, and during the services some boys put a parcel of peb bles under his saddle, and watched to see the fun. A correspondent of the Columbia Herald and Mail gives the re sult thus: "John weighs something over two hundred pounds, and when he set tled in the saddle on the rocks his horse got right up in tbe air and waved his tail around like a bunch of chawed rope, and kicked every way for Sunday. John crawled over his head and jarred things heavy when he got down." Well, 003-8 will be boys ; but this putting of rocks under the saddles of people wigning over two hundred pounds is a sort of boy that will have to be worn out against tbe ground a number of times before he will see fewer delights in deviltry than early piety ,-Loui8vllle Courier-Journal. ir K" fftr Fashionable ladies now-a-days pencil their eyebrows, paint blue shadows under their eyes and on the upper lip, pink their nostrils ana the, inside of their, ears to make them look like a shell ; paint the ends of their ; fingers pink trom the last joint up, to make them look fine and delicate; paint the finger nails slightly, put balladonna in their eyes, an infinitesimal patch of black courtplaster,at the. outer corner of each eye, paint their arms, necks and faces white, and their cheeks red, and bandoline their hair.
