About Editors.
(Frain the Galaxy.)
To return to our journalistic moutons,
the seeming work of the devil in the
invention of printing is proved by its
merciless dealing with those who live
by it. That journalists are sweepingly
called Bohemians is not entirely strange,
for there is a certain—or, perhaps, an
uncertain—precariousness about their
'work which tends to make them so.—
It is hard to convince a man in wer
•cantile business that publishing a news
paper is a business at all; and it half
transitory character partially justifies
his incredulity. It is not Unjust to say
that there is rather more druukeuness,
shiftlessness, and good-for-nothingness
among compositors and pressmen, as a
Class, [halm among others ; and this is
only partially explained by saying that
their occupatioo, by in-door confine-
Men t and night hours, predisposes them
to stimulus and irregularity. There is
a peculiar visciousness about types.—
;Newspaper work is somethiug like hold
ing a public office or a place in the
police. Ain an whd has been a police
man is good for nothing else; the in
cumbent of a government office, if lie
has been long in it, is like a man with
out arms after lie has been discharged—
a very Casper Hauser in the world ; and
a journalist must remain one—lie is dis
qualified for anything else, except an
office, which he rarely gets, although
he bestows I. great many of them upon
others.
A more vicious characteristic of the
newspaper is its denial of leisure. A
very stymophus ms the journalist. "Up
the high hill he heaves a huge round
stone." Once begun, there is no cessa
tion pos,ttile, no little concession to
fatigue or unusual inertia. The coin•
positor has his substitute, but not so the
editor, for whom vacations are hard Lu
get ; 11- nay babble of green fields and
long to thrust his nose into the grass
and snmeil the fresh earth of June, but
he is always one of those who do not
leave [own in summer. He call hind
no
delight in books; he never reads, her
types are an enemy lie hales and wishes
al tones that lie might never see again.
The pen is insatiable; to•day's work
can never be thrown over upon to-mor
row. There js lmu time to read anything
or to go below the surface of anything.
The work is not literary except in bur
lesque; whatever a mall's dispo
sition to study a subject and perfect
its treatment, shortness of time for
bids; he can take no pride in his
work, for lie caulmot stay at any par
ticular lining long enough to finish it
before necessity drives loin to another.
He is forever kept from doing anything
hm
worthy ofofiself by his constant fa
tigue, and by being denied any time
for thorough work' ; hu is a sculptor who
does no inure than strike out the rude
outlines ()I' a statue before lie must, leave
it for another block. The editor's life
is a bundle of broken attempts, a per
petual beginning without finishing.
The energy and the constructive ability
which might., with time and leisurely
study granted, write something worthy
of living, is frittered away upon little
details, aimlessly, except to earn one's
own daily bread and satisfy the daily
appetite of the public for something ne W.
The journalist, makes half-baked bricks,
but never constructs a building : Rome
was not built in a day, but the news
papers must he.
The best newspaper inert are the fair
average workers who never vary or fail
in the emergency. Oicourse versatility
is valuable, mind so is speed ; but the in
dispensable qualities are pluck and en
durance. In the language of the turf,
wind is worth more eventually than
mere speed of foot ; and without endur
ance all other qualifications are like
gold inn an exhausted swimmer's pocket.
No niau who has a drop of the Harold
inn pole or the old Tilry,•) , drop blood
in him should ever step inside of an
editorial room ; if he abhors practicality
amid small details, when lie proposes
editorial work, lie is a thirsty man nag
to settle in a desert. Stich an over
whelming throng et details, such an in
conceivably uninteresting routine, is
not to be found elsewhere, unless in
the faily:`tale task of picking up the
6 fallen leaves of October and replacing
.each on its own twig.
It is a mistake to think editorial work
chiefly original composition. This is
but a small part of it, and there tire a
dozen good writers where there is one
good editor; but the writer alone is
enough to overbear a man. Almost
every cultivated man has times when
he would like the opportunity of public
expression which a newspaper affords,
and it would be then easy for him to
write, and to write vigorously; it is
even prideible that many readers could
write better than some editors, just as
ills certain that the best conversational
ability which discusses public questions
would greatly improve public journals
if it could be transferred to their col-
LOOMS. MIL reiteration tells. It is a
very easy matter to writer a newspaper
article, say you Not quite so easy as
you imagine if you have never tried;
but gr u nt that it is not very hard.
There is an old puzzle about a man who
made a rule to hit his calf every day,
which he could easily do, and so he
went on Until it had become a bullock.
Of course there is a fallacy here, al
though IL is not easy to touch the exact
spa where the fallacy conies in and the
man could no longer lift the animal;
just so, IL is easy to write one day, or
two days, or ten, or forty ; but a man is
worn away by an indefinite continuance
of repetition. 'l'lle hand-organ grinds
a pleasant tune which you like—to use
Dr. Holmes' illustration in his "Auto
crat " papers—and you want it to play
on so ; hut you do not see the little steel
spurs inside, nor haw the delicate ma
chine Wears itself away. If the player
could but draw out another stop What

drain of ineessatit writing is enormous
—more 111 writing upon a great many
subjects than upon a few; to liud sub
jeels, Which is half the labor, is severe
itself. In editorial writing a man does
nothing but knock little chips of
veneer off his mind. The great danger
is at the outset, viz: that as a luau

VOLUME 68
Stephen C. Foster
We make the following abstract from
an article in the Atlantic Monthly, en
titled Stephen C. Foster and Negro
Minstrelsy. It may not be devoid of
interest to a large majority of our read
ers. The article treats in its first por
tion of the celebrated T. D. Rice, who
was the originator of the school of ne
gro minstrelsy, now sopopular through
out the country. Rice gained his first
ideas upon the subject while upon the
boards at Cincinnati, and afterwards
put them
.into more extended and ex
tensive practice within the walls of the
Old Pittsburgh Theatre, a board edifice
which stood upon the site whereon is
now the present Theatre building. The
article describes au amusing incident
which occurred during one of Rice's
earlier performances in Pittsburgh, of
which the substance is us follows:
He was stopping at Griffith's Hotel,
on Wood street, whereat there was a
darkey named Cuff, a queer genius,
who "won a precarious subsistence by
letting his open mouth as a mark for
boys to pitch pennies into, at three
paces, and by carrying the trunks of
passengers from the steamboat to the
hotels. With thisspecimen, Rice chang
ed clothes, and appeared upon the
boards in his tattered habiliments, sing
ing the now famous melody of "Jim
Crow." Meanwhile, Cuff heard of a
steamboat coining to town, and wishing
greatly to be on hand, he endeavored ,
several times, fruitlessly, to attract
Rice's attention, when finally, his ex
citement and anxiety became too much
for him, and coining from behind the
scenes, all en dishabille, be " made for"
his suit, then upon the performer. The
excitement of the audience, as may be
imagined, was immense; so great, in
deed, that the performance had to be
brought to an abrupt termination.
Such were Like circumstances—au-
- _
thentic in every partieular--under
which the first work of the distinct art
of Negro Minstrelsy was presented.
"Jim Crow,?' then became very pop
ular and was published together with
the music. It was succeeded by " Clar
de Kitchen." " Lucy Long," " Sich a
Uittin' Up Stairs," "Long 'failed
Blue," and many others. Several other
interesting facts concerning minstrelsy
are mentioned, after which the writer
speaks of the "reformer of his art,"
Stephen C. Foster.
Mr. Foster was born in Allegheny,
Pennsylvania, on the -Ith of July, 182.5.
lie was the youngest child of his father,
—originally a merchant of Pittsburg,
anti afterwards Mayor of his native city,
member of the Slate Legislature, and a
Federal ()nicer under President Bu
chanan, with whom lie was closely ccu
fleeted by marriage. The evidences of
a musical capacity of no common order
were apparent in Stephen at au early
period.
At thirteen years of age lie made his
first attempt at composition, producing
for a public occasion at the seminary at
Athens, Ohio, where he was a student
at the time, the "Tioga Waltz," which,
although quite a pretty altair, he never
thought worthy of preservation. In the
sauce year, shortly afterwards, he com-
posed music to the song commencing,
"Sadly to mine heart appealing," now
embraced in the list of his publications,
but not brought out until many years
later.
- • .
At the age of sixteen he composed and
published the song, "Open thy Lattice,
Love," which was admired, but did not
meet with extraordinary success.
Shortly after this time, Mr. Andrews,
of Pittsburgh, offered a prize for the best
negro melody, in competition for which
Mr. Foster produced "Way and Down
South Wear de Corn Crows." This
piece found the highest favor in the
eyes of the audience, but the committee
appointed to sit in j Udgmeut gave it in
favor of another production. For a glee,
he afterwards wrote the " Louisiana
Belle," and " Old Uncle Ned," for
neither of which he received any re
muneration ; but for "0, Susanna !" a
cotemporaneous song, he received $lOO,
whic . l's. started him in his vocation as a
song writer. In pursuance of this de
cision, he entered into arrangements
with new publishers, chiefly with Firth,
Pond & Co., of New York, set himself to
work, and began to pour out his pro
ductions with astonishing rapidity.
Out of the list, embracing about one
undyed and lifty of his songs, the most
flatteringly received among his negro
melodies were those already enumerat
ed, followed by " - Neily was a Lady" in
1519; "My Old Kentucky Home," and
" Camptown Races," in 1850 ; " Old
Folk'u at Home," iu 1831 ; " Massa's
in the Cold Ground," in 1533; "O, Boys,
Carry Me 'Long," in 1833 ; "Hard 'nines
Come Again no More," in 1851; " Way
Down South," and "O, Lemuel," in
1535; "Old Black Joe," in 1560; and
(noticeable only as his last in that line)
" Don't bet your Money ou the Shang
hai," In 1831.
His songs had an unparalleled circu
lation. The cotumissions accruing to
the author on the sales of "Old Folks"
alone a 111OULI ted to fifteen thousand dol
lars. For permission to have his name
printed on its title page, as au adver-
icing scheme, Mr. Christy paid five
iundred dollars. Artists of the highest
listinetion favored him with their
friendship; and Herz, Sivori, Ole Bull,
Thalberg, were alike ready to prove his
genius. Complimentary letters from
men of literary note p tired in upon
him ; among others, one full of gener
ous encouragement from Washington
Irving, dearly prized and carefully treas
ured to the day of Foster's death. Sim
ilar missives reached him from across
the seas,--from strangers and from
travelers in lands far remote ; and he
learned that, while " 0 Susanna!" was
the familiar song of the cottager of the
Clyde, "Uncle Ned" was known to
the dweller in tents among the Pyra
mids.
Of his sentimental songs," Under the
Willow," " Ah, may the Red Rose live
always!" "Maggie by my Side," "Jen
nie with the Ligbt Brown Hair," "Wil
lie, we have Missed You," " I see her
Still in my Dreams," " Wilt thou he
gone, Lovc '
" duet, the words adapted
from a well known scene in ltmneu
Julliet,) and " Come where my Love
lies Dreaming," (quartette,) are among
the leading favoritt:s. " I see her still
in my Dreams " appeared in 18ta, short
ly after the death of his mother,•and is
a tribute to the memory of her to whom
he was devotedly attached. The verses
to most of these airs—to all the sucekss
ful ones—were of his own composition.
The last three years of his life Mr.
Foster passed in New York. During
all that time his efrerts, with perhaps
one exception, were limited to the pro
duction of songs of a pensive character.
The loss of his mother seems to have
left an ineilliceable impression of mel
ancholy upon his mind, and inspired
such songs as " I dream of my Mother,"
"Leave me with my Mother," and
" Bury me In the Morning." He died,
after a brief illness, ou the 13th of Jan
uary, 15G1. His remains reached Pitts
burgh on the 10th; and were conveyed
to Trinity Church, where on the day
following, in the presence of a large as
sembly, appropriate and impressive cer
emonies took place, the choral services
being sustained by a company of his
former friends and associates. His body
was then carried to the Allegheny Cem
etery, and, to the music of " Old Folks
at Home," finally committed to the
grave.
Death of Ex-Governor Andrew
BosToN, Oct. 30.—John A. Andrew, ex-
Governor of Massachusetts, died at 6 o'clock
this evening. At 9 o'clock last evening he
was at his own residence, In Charles street,
conversing with a friend, his family being
present. He had premonitory symptoms
of apoplexy, and requested his family to
leave the room, which they did, under the
supposition that he had private business to
transact. He then requested his friend to
cull in Dr. Derby, and subsequently Drs.
Biglow and Cabet were in attendance. He
remained unconscious from the time of his
attack until death.
The Trbsfof Jefferson Davis
The New York Times, a Radical journal,
in an article on the trial of Mr. Davis, says:
" We believe the country would feel relieved
if the whole proceeding could be dismissed.
The rebellion has been tried and condemn
ed, and there is neither necessity for a new
trial nor possibility of any greater punish
ment than it has already received.'
The Pulpit's Opportunity.
I From the Journal of Commerce. I
Now is the time for ministers of the
Gospel to give up political preaching.
We are satisfied that the majority of
those pastors who have mixed politics
with their theology in the proportions
of nine to one, for some years back
have done it against their better judg
ment. They have yielded to the fashion
of the times, to the example of powerful
and successful preachers, to the real (or
supposed) irresistible current of feeling
iu their congregations. We have always
held them as a class to be above the
sordid aims of politicians. They have
not preached politics for money, nor
for vulzar applause; but because they
had not sufficient moral strength to re
sist the tremendous pressure which was
brought to bear upon them by church
conventions and assemblies, aud by ac
tive and influential occupants of pews.
In some instances the pressure from the
pews was not real, but imaginary. The
pastor, observing the tendency in other
churches, sought to anticipate it in his
own, and, with unnecessary precipita
tion, put himself at the head of the flock
and led it into politics. Still, as a gen
eral rule, the motive power, when it did
not originate outside of the church,
came from the pews, and forced the pas•
for to write political addresses under the
name of sermons, and pray for the suc
cess of a party more than for the com
ing of Christ's kingdom. Their Bible
was their text-book—their point of de
parture, chiefly in the sense that they
departed from it—but their body of theo
logy was too often taken from newspaper
editorials or from the platforms of excited
public meetings held during the pre
vious Week. Many preachers reflected
the varying shades of radical sentiment
so truthfully that by stepping into their
churches on Sunday a person could learn
the condition of the political atmosphere
as from a barometer. There was a little
garniture of religion in the reading of
the Scriptures (not always selected with
reference to the topics of the day), in
the short prayer possibly, and iu the
formal benediction beyond any doubt,
but these were merely trimmings to the
huge hot joint of pure politics, at which
the preacher cut and came again.
This political preaching has been the
shame and scandal of Christ's Church.
It has been the prohlecause of infidelity,
not only outside of• the church, but
with in its pale; not only in the pews, but
in the pulpits. At first it was a curious
novelty, and pastors found their con
gregations increased, perhaps, a huu
dren fold. Men flocked to the political
churches, they went to the opera, the
theatre, or the chit's, to be excited and
amused. They could applaud uud they
could laugh there at every smart politi
cal hit, freely and without rebuke. It
was religion made easy, and, like virtue
made easy, there was very little of it
left when you came to look for it. News
papers , were used to advertise these
political sermons in advance. Partisan
journals published the sermons next
day, not omitting the cheers and laugh
ter where they properly came in, and
flattered the preachers in editorial
articles. A great deal of the hard
work of the campaign was put upon
their shoulders. Some of them talked
polities, not only two or three times
every Sunday, but odd evenings, during
the week. They were too willing to
work, they were too zealous in their
new cause, and they overdid it. Satiety
in the congregation soon followed ex
cess iu the preacher. The outside at
tendance fell off; many of the pew
owners who had liked the thing while
it was new got sick of it at last, and
these preachers finally 'found them
selves in the condition of men who,
having taken a false position, feel com
pelled, out of regard to consistency, to
maintain it at all hazards. In this re
solve they have been encouraged and
sustained by small but active knots of
politicians, who give the tone to many
of our churches. There are clergymen
who have seen their flocks scattered
beyond recall, and their churches sold
out or turned into places of amusement
before they would consent to retrace
their steps to religion pure aud unde
filed.
Now is the time for ministers to weed
out politics from their religion. The
political reaction, of which we see the
signs all around us, is a protest against
politial preaching and numerous other
errors and fallacies. The reactionary
feeling affects all classes of society, in
all their relations. We believe that, if
a show of hands were called for iu the
churches next Sunday, a majority of
votes would be found in favor of ex
cluding politics from the pulpit; or, if
the sentiments of the church members
should be equally divided, we believe
that there would be an almost general
acquiescence in the pastor's determina
tion to eschew politics fur the future.
Pastors would be surprised to dis
cover how cheerfully their people
would now follow their lead out
of the miry paths of politics,
back to the ancient trodden ways.
They must, by this time, be satisfied
that it is impossible to get out of radical
politics by going to the end of it—for it
has no end. The possible crochets of
the radical mind are infinite. Political
preachers never call say that their work
is done, and lay off their harness. "Ex
celsior!" is still the cry, and always
will he, of the frantic agitators who
occupy the van of radical movements.
They care nothing for the church, ex
cept as it aids them in their dangerous
ventures. While they use it, they de
spice it. This fact is made very clear
in the last number of Wendell Phillips'
organ, which says: " Churches and the
clergy are, as formerly, for the most part
but make-weights or a positive drag,
where they should be foremost in lead.
fog the nation in the light of immuta
ble fundamental Christian principles
through its presentditlicult and danger
ous pass." This is the gratitude which
the political clergy receive from those
who have sought to dictate their style
of preaching for a number of years.
How much longer will ministers of tha
Gospel submit to these hardest of task
masters!
Why arc Breadstuffs Bear
The universal expectation of cheap
breadstuffs is not being real ized—on the
contrary, prices havereceutlyadvanced.
For this there would seem to be no ac
tual cause. The report of the Agricul
tural Bureau sets down the per tentage
of increase at the close of harvest as fol
lows : Ohio, 130 per cent. ; Indiana, 50;
Michigan, 23; Wisconsin, 17; Minne
sota, 25; Illinois, 11; lowa, S 0; Mis
souri, 40; Kentucky, 34; West Vir
ginia, 50; Virginia, 50; Tennessee, 50;
Georgia, SO; Arkansas, 45 ; New York,
14, and Pennsylvania, 40, while only
Kansas and Texas show a falling off
from last year, when these crops in
those States were very large."
In this connection the St. Louis Re
publican says : " Before the harvest,
the crop here and also in England and
France would, it was thought, yield in
excess of the average. Since then it is
getting to be believed that appearances
were deceptive. In our wheat districts,
though the growing crop looked very
promising, the actual returns of the
threshing machine failed to make the
promise good.. Such at least is the im
pression in the West; and in conse
quence of it prices have advanced in
stead of receded." Referring to the
drought the same paper says • " There
probably never occurs to the farmer a
worse time for sowing ground in wheat
than thepresentseason. In consequence
a less breadth has been seeded down to
wheat this fall. The seed that has been
got in, either lies dormant in the soil, or
has sent up feeble and scattering shoots
which present anything but a favorable
appearance.

From the Petersburg Index
A REIGN O;'IIERROR AT THE POLLS.
We are in receipt of reliable intelli
gence from the neighboring counties
which unquestionably establishes the
fact, that there (at least the late election)
was the most utter farce ever played
within the limits of a pretended free
country. Our information comes au
thenticated by the names of perfectly
responsible and widely known gentle
men, and we unhesitatingly endorse
its truth. At Sturdivaut's shop, in
Prince George county, the negroes at
tended the polls armed almost to a man
with United States rifles and pistols,
and assumed complete control of affairs.
At Poplar Mount precinct, in Greens
ville, and at Hicksford, in the same
county, a similar state of affairs obtain
ed, and many voters were thereby de
terred from casting their suffrages. At
each of these places it was perfectly im
possible for a colored man to vote the
conservative ticket. At Henry precinct,
in Sussex, the Radicals assembled
in heavy force, all armed, and ex
ercised violent supervision of the
voting At Smoky Ordinary, in Bruns
wick county, an armed negro stood at
the entrance leading to the colored poll
and notified each voter as he passed that
a conservative vote would ensure his
death. At Brunswick Court House
there hail been collected a number of
guns in po,session of the county. Just
previous to the election they were seized
by order of Lieutenant Kimball, the
military officer commanding in that
locality, who had them cleaned and dis
tributed, with ammunition, among the
negroes. The result was, of course, the
same as related of other places. Many
whites were deterred entirely from
seeking the polls, and no negro was al
lowed to enter any but a Radical ticket.
In all those cases except the last the
arms in tile hands of the negroes are
reported to have been those of the gov
ernment, and mostly new.
JAIL BIRDS TAKEN FROM JAII, AND
VOTED.
From the Fredericksburg Hera
The people in the North may form
some idea of the fierceness of the strug
gle we have passed through, when we
state that army officials in the Freed
men's Bureau voted here on Tuesday,
although they have only a temporary
residence. But this was not the worst.
The hospital here under the Bureau was
emptied, and the " halt, lame and
blind," if such there were, came hob
bling to the polls to vote the Radical
ticket, Bad as this was, there was still
a deeper depth. Prisons were unbarred
and parties resting under serious charges
were taken to the pollsand voted in this
election district.
[From the same.]
On election day, one Harris, a colored
surgeon, attached to the Freedmen's
Bureau in that city, posted himself close
to where the colored people deposited
their ballots, and as each one approach•
ed he held out his hand, receiving and
looking over the ticket; and tore up
tickets taken from the hands of colored
voters and substituted others. Five
colored men in Fredericksburg voted
the conservative ticket, and are honor
ably mentioned iu the Fredericksburg
papers with the assurance that their
independence, courage and sense will
be fully appreciated by the white citi
zens. They were denounced at the
meeting of the Loyal League, and one
of them threatened with being refused
the rites of burial when he died. The
Fredericksburg IW/es says : " The
Northern men in our midst have shown
by their conduct that they are with us
and of us. We extend them a hearty
welcome."
MORE NEGRO CIVILIZATION.
From the Alexandria Gazette.
On Tuesday last, as soon as it was dis
covered by the colored Loyal Leaguers
standing near the polls at Herndon Sta
tion, in Fairfax county, that Thos. Wil
liams, a well-known respectable colored
blacksmith residing in that neighbor
hood, had voted for Colonel Ball, the
Conservative candidate for the Conveu
lion, a party was formed which started
to intercept him on his way home, and
when the deputy sheriff of the county
and a posse, who went, to his relief, came
up with him and drove off his assail
ants, he had been taken from the road,
and was being dragged through the
woods to a neighboring ravine by his
infuriated captors, who, armed with
clubs, knives and pistols, were shout
ing, " Kill the damned negro rebel !"
"Haug hirith4LL_" Shoot him!"
The house of a respectable colored
man, named Daniel Ford, who voted
the Conservative ticket in this city on
Tuesday last, was surrounded last night
by a mob of colored Loyal Leaguers,
who threatened him with abolishment,
and were only driven away by his de

A NEGRO SAVED EV A WHITE MAN
From the LI nchburg Virgiulall.
On the evening of the election in
herst county a large crowd of Radical
negroes attacked a colored man named
Elisha Smith, who had voted the con
servative ticket, near Cunningham's
grocery, and were beating him very
severely, when Mr. Cunningham, who
witnessed the assault, endeavored to put
a stop to it. The negroes turned upon
him, and to protect himself lie drew a
knife and stabbed the one who was
pressing most closely upon him several
times in the face, Inflicting severe
wounds. This frightened the rest of
the negroes and they left the place. But
for the interference of Mr. Cunningham
Smith would iu all probability have
been killed.

Correspondence of the Danville (Charl,ite
county) Times.
They openly declared that they meant
to vote the Radical ticket if they went
to hell the next minute for doing it;
that they were in the ascendancy and
meant to keep it; intended to elect
freedmen to all county offices, and boast
ingly said, in three years the whites
would be begging bread of them. Every
diabolical scheme that you could think
of was practised upon the most ignor
ant of them in order to carry them as a
race. I heard a gentleman in conver
sation with a number of them remark
that he thought it probable some change
would be made in the present condition
of things by the North. Their spokes
man fired up and said, "Let them try
it; they would have to fit heep harder
than they did the rebels; the women
and children would fit;" and in a boast
ful spirit said they meant to go their
own way, regardless of the Yankees or
anybody else.
Edward Nelson, negro, was elected by
over twelve hundred votes as delegate
to the convention from this county.
Holmes, negro, goes to Halifax about
eleven hundred ahead of Mr. Bouldin.
Nelson got the whole negro vote, with
a few honorable exceptions. A tremen
dous pressure was brought to bear upon
all who were inclined to vote the Con
servative ticket. They came near mob
bing Henry Smith, freedman, for voting
that ticket.
NEGRO DECEPTION
Mecklenburg Correspondence of the Rich
mond Enquirer.
Previous to the election they (the
negroes) feigned utter ignorance of the
whole affair, many pretending not even
to know the names of the candidates;
but early on the morning of the election
they were at the polls in a body, each
man provided with the ticket he was
instructed to vote, and when the polls
were opened cast their ballots almost
en masse. Their nominees were John
Watson (negro) and Sanford Dodge a
man with a white skin. The former, I
am informed„ was a notorious thief in
times of slavery, and was sold no less
than five times. He can neither read
nor write. The latter came from the
North, is an ex-minister of the Gospel
(but still continues to preach), and was
in the employment of John Morris as
whiskey rectifier before his distillery
was seized by the government for
swindling and himself lodged iu jail.
From the Charlotteville Chronicle
Abram Shepherd, for thirty years
clerk of Fluvanna, one of the purest,
most sensible and most universally be
loved men we ever knew, is beaten for
the Convention in Fluvanna by a negro
unable to read or write. The blacks
outregistered the whites in Fluvanna
by a small majority. This is recon
struction. This is the "Union as it is."

Theatrical Compensation—Gossip About
Actors and Actresses.
[From the New York Herald.l
There is this peculiarity in the pecu
niary rewards of theatrical people—the
successful stars receive a compensation
oftentimes far in excess of their indus
try or talent, while the hard-working
members of the profession are in pro
portion underpaid. As a rule, members
of the stock company are more ade
quately rewarded than where the star
system prevails because in the latter
case the star absorbs the major portion
of the receipts, and a lower grade of
talent among the stock is permitted.
As a rule, also, performers on Broad
way receive higher salaries than those
on the Bowery. Each theatre has its
own scale of salaries, but the subjoined
table, compiled from reliable sources,
with great care, exhibits the average
compensation of professionals of all
classes in this city at the present time.
Business managers receive a salary
and a percentage of profits, amounting
in all to $5,000 per annum and upwards.
Stage managers receive from $5O to $75
per week ; the leading men front $OO to
5100 per week. The first old man re
joices his aged heart with from $3O to
$75 weekly ; the first comedy laughs
for a similar compensation ; the eccen•
trio receives weekly from $3O to $5O ;
the first heavy man of villain, stains
his soul tor $4O, $5O or $00; the first
walking gentleman receives from $23 to
$33; the second old man from $2O to $3O ;
the second comedy from $lB to $23 ; the
second walking gentleman from $l5 to
$2O, and the mate utilities from $l2 to $l3.
The leading lady and the first old
woman receive about the same compen
sation as their wale equivalents ; the
soubrette earns from $3O to $3O weekly ;
the second soubrette is entitled to about
half that sum ; the walking ladies re
ceive from $lO to $33, while the balance
of the actresses are made happy on
smaller amounts. The ballet girls ex
hibit such charms as they may possess
for $8 or $lO per six nights ' • while the
magnificent supers throw themselves
away for thirty-seven cents a perform
ance.
The prompter receives weekly from
$25 to $25; the call boy from $5 to $s ;
the scene artists, according to ability,
from $25 per week to $5,055 per annum ;
the master carpenter is entitled to about
$3O weekly ; the property man to about
$25 ; the costumer's compensation varies
from $25 to $4)) weekly; the treasurer's
from $2O to sis; the leader of the or
chestra's from $35 to $5O; the second
leader's from $25 to $25 ; the musicians
receive $l7 per week ; and the door
keepers generally $1 per night. Some
of the theatres, as the Broadway, pay
their doorkeepers higher rates, and the
number of "free admissions" is found
to be wonderfully lessened iu copse•
uence.
Although the stock performer "en
joys" a plentiful supply of labor, and
" felicitates " himself or herself on a
corresponding deficiency of funds, yet
the successful " stars " shine surrounded
with all the brilliancy of wealth and
luxury. And the majority of this lux
ury and wealth has been derived from
New York, and from the prestige which
the approval of New York awards
throughout the provinces. Mr. Barney
Williams, who commenced life as a
printer's devil in this city, is now worth
$400,000, invested chiefly in real estate.
He resides in elegant style on Thirty
eighth street, near Murray Hill, boasts
a picture gallery and a collection of im
ported statuary, keeps five carriages
and a number of horses, sports servants
in livery, and owns a superb country
residence near Bath.
Edwin Forrest is worth at least $500,-
000, owns a magnificent residence at the
corner of Broad and Master streets,
Philadelphia, u summer residence near
Chestnut Hill, and is the possessor of
several valuable paintings; and, above
all, delights in the ownership of per
haps the finest Shakspearian library in
the country—a library, too, carefully
and daily studied by the great trage
dian, who, despite his eminence, does
not regard himself above the necessity
of improvement.
"Solon Shingle" Owens, with his
$300,000, (the major portion of which
he made in this city,) has purchased a
beautiful place near Baltimore.
"Brother Sam" Chauirau rejoices in
the neat sum of $lOO,OOO. Edwin Booth
ownsabout the same sum,and is perhaps
entitled justly to more. Rip Van
Winkle" Jefferson, now delighting LIA,
is estimated pecuniarily at the same
figure. Florence maintains his "caste"
in society on about the same amount:
while Win, Wheatley and Lester \\'al
lack are in comfortable circumstances.
Actresses, as a class, have not been so
pecuniarly fortunate as their male
rivals. Still, Charlotte Cushman has
earned professionally at least a quarter
of a million, while Mrs. D. P. Bowers,
Miss Lucille Western, and others of note,
have acquired a competence and some
thing beyond. Miss Maggie Mitchell,has
also accumulated a handsome residence
and a hundred thousand dollars. So,
after all, the theatrical life has its roses
for those who have the talent and pluck
to seek, and the luck to find them. Mr.
Forrest receives $5OO per night for his
performances; Mr. and Mrs. Barney
Williams demand a similar sum ; others
receive smaller amounts or a percentage
of the nightly receipts; others occa
sionally control the receipts themselves;
but whatever be the contract or arrange
ment, there is "money in it," as the
t,: jusi staled show.
dullest)" of Bank Officials
The correspondent, at New York, of
the Mobile .Aducrtiscr, relates the fol
lowing of what he calls au "honest"
cashier:
" Not long ago the cashier of a well
known bank informed the directors that
he wished to resign. He was supposed
to be a poor man in the comparative
sense, and they asked him if he could
afford to resign."
" Yes," said the cashier, " if I could
not I would not."
" How is that? We thought you had
nothing but your salary."
"Gentlemen," said he, perfectly cool
and frank, " I have used the money of
the bank—used it liberally. But the
bank has not lost anything. I saw
chances, made the best of them, and re
turned every dollar I took. I have
enough now, and want to resign. Have
the books examined; you will find
everything straight. It may have been
wrong to use your money, but there's
nothing lost, and it's not worth your
while to make any trouble.
They did not make any trouble, and
the lucky cashier is now a member of
the best society in New York."
Something akin to the above, says
the Philadelphia Ledger, is a fact in the
life of a newly elected bank director in
this city, as the same was told us by the
individual himself. He was a staid,
active business man, a member of the
Society of Friends, and like the most
of that unobtrusive sect, rarely took
part in affairs outside of his own store.
Being a man of means, and keeping a
good bank account, one of our oldest
banks solicited him to become a direc
tor. It being a grave question with
him, he said he would think of it, and
after consultation with his wife, who
being a little ambitious, insisted that
he should accept it, and he did. At the
first meeting of the Board there
after he took his seat, and after
the disposal of the business be
fore it, some cigars, as usual, were
brought in, and those who desired help
ed themselves and smoked, leaving at
the time of the adjournment a dozen
or more in the glass tumbler containing
them. At the Board was another quite
straight—laced old Friend, who, re
maining a little behind his fellows, our
new director saw him give a quick
glance round the room to assure him
self that he was unobserved, and then
stealthily wipe the remain ingeigai s into
his pocket. In alarm, our new director
walked directly home, and to the sur
prise of his wife, informed her that he
meant to forthwith resign his office,
and relating wnat he had seen, said he
thought there must be something in the
air of a bank to create an itching palm,
and make men dishonest. True to his
word, he did resign, and has never since
taken a seat at a Board of bank direc
tors.
