"What use will the Radicals make of their victory, now they have won it? As regards the South, they have already gene to the , length of their tether. After passing over the veto of the President, their Civil. Bights bill, and their Freedman's Bureau Bill, they could proceed no further except by proposing amendments to the Constitution. But amendments being nulli ties till ; ratified by three-fourths of the States, the resistance of the South is more effective ,iu respect to them than the Presi dential veto is in respect to ordiuarv laws. The veto can be overcome by two-thirds of both Houses, but the negative of thirteen States (Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware make up the thirteen) on a proposed amend ment, can in no way be overcome till the number of States reaches fifty-two a lar ger number than we are ever likely to haveA Th'eTSttutK' tlicnas'nbthifig-Cvbrse to fear; as a consequence of the late elections, than a protracted exclusion lrom Congress. Ne gro suffrage cannot bo forced on them ex cept by an amendment to the Constitution, which they can checkmate. New penalties tor treason are equally impossible, by the prohibition to vass cxpost facto laws. The old penalties have been, remitted by the President's proclamation of an amnesty and his individual pardons. The State govern ments which have been formed iu the South cannot be upset,, because Congress never comes m contact with them except in judg ing of tlieir competency to furnish creden tials to members of that body, Congress having already done its utmost against the South, that section has nothing to fear in consequence of these elections, beyond what it already sutlers. Congress being powerless to wreak ad ditional vengeance on the South, will prob ably concentrate their hostility upon the President.

Moses' SlowxessofSpeecii A Curriers TiiADlTfON Wolfl. the missionary, relates the following tradition accounting fur Moses', slowness of speech, which he !:enrd w.hile iu the Fast. When Moses, was a child, Piiaroah one day played with him. Moses took hold of Pharoah's beard aud pulled out the jewels with which it "was 'covered. Pharoah said to Jethro, -Balaam and Job, who were viziers at tlie time,1! t t i i a afraid that this Jew boy will one dav Andrew Johnson, they . . ,,T J . . . , ( i - .,J ' overturn my empire. hat is. to be donu ifps tor rp nns nir rhrt i .... ..V ! . . . i . with film? Balaam advised Pnaroah to kill Moses. Jethro saiil -No, but try whether he has understanding, by putting tore him gold ami lire. It he takes hold of the gold, then kill him, but if he touches the fire, then it is proof that he wirl not be come a clever boy." Job was silent, but Jethro's advice was followed. Moses want ed to take hold of the gold; but the: cngtl of the Lord turned his hand toward tho fire, aud he put the coals to his tongue, o:i which account he had a difficulty of speech: "I am slow of speech and slow of tongue." Job, on account of having followed the system of expediency, by not having spoken out ot his mind, was punished as described in the book of Job. Balaam, who advise ' Somebody winds up a sketch cf "My Maryland" Bandall with - j "He is a married man." Did anybody suppose he was a married woman? i Respectaule Connections. A New. York letter says: "Some of the women on the Evening Star were respectably con nected. A city banker, on learning that his wayward daughter was among the lost, clasped his hands in sorrowful gratitude, and exclaimed; 'Thank God, my daughter, the prideof my heart, is beyond this world's shame.' Also, included in this Hock of frail fair ones, were two highly accomplish ed yomg ladies, one the daughter of a minrster of the gospel in western Pennsyl vania, and the o(ther a daughter of a clergy man in this city. The families, of several of ourNew York merchants were also repre sented among these beautiful female ruins. Indeed, I am told that there was hardly one of theso fallen women who could not point to highly respectable connections in this and other cities." Why these respectable connections did not take' effectual steps towards reclaiming their wayward ones from lives of sin, shame and misery, is not stated. One would sup pose it was the first and highest duty of a minister of the gospel, to seek out . a lost daughter and watch over her every-step till reformed, and ever afterwaids. Nor does it speak well for a city banker to con gratulate himself that his daughter is now beyond this world's shame. -PicayiHC. i Consoling a Widow.
