"Mack," of the Cincinnati Commercial, has had a talk with Ben. Wade. which he fully reports in that paper of Wednesday. The following extracts are quite interest ing.. Speaking of the late elections, Wade says: "Because we have been whipped on the first trial; I suppose some of the-weak•kneed brothers will be backing out on that question. But I won't back a d--(1 inch. I'm for it now RS strong as I was before the election, and stronger too, because there is more need of being for it, to conquer a m6an prejudice. But yOu'll see men trying to hush the thing ."it to smother it, and to dodge it in every way they can, and men who call themselves Radicals, too. Hell's fun of am% Radicals as we'll have now. I'm for it because I it's Tight,and I know it's right; and if a thing is right, the only wit ,- is to keep at it till it wins, for it's sure torwin sometime or anoth er. There is not a great reform in the histo ry of the world that wasn't unpopular at first. And not one of them was ever carried by dropping it and running like scared hounds from it, after it was beaten once. No, sir; we ate e.ommiated to universal suffrage, and no man Is a Republican who would desert it now. But although that's my belief, mark my word, there'll be the damndest crawfishing you ever saw front this time forward. Well, let them go. We can win withffut them, and we will win, too, just as sure as the Almighty is just; and heaven above us. It will become harder every year for the Copperheads to beat us on that issue, and they won't beat us on it very . often.either, if we only make a Rohl front, and go at 'em with flied bayonets every time." I= "The nigger whipped us," said Mr. Wade, "We went in on principle, and got whipped. We should have carried the State by a good majority if it hadn't been for the sutTrag,e is sue. Still. lam not sorry we made the-issue. If it was to do over again, ref be for _putting it again, and I'll be for ketiping it up until we, do win, for, by the eternal they can't beat 119 all the time on a,question like that. I had no idea there - were so many Republi cans in Ohio who were willing to see negro suffrage in the -South, but wouldn't let - the few niggers of Ohio rote. That's what got me. They all seemed in favor oftt as a measure of reconstruction, just as much as I was. I didn't dream they'd be mean enough to vote against it here." - In answer to a question as to whether he thought the greenback issue had anything to do with the defeat, Mr. Wade said, "he didn't 'think it had. It was nothing but the nigger. The 'greenback issue was not fairly before the people, for when you come to sift the matter the Democratic speakers Made very little of an issue on the greenbacks. The nigger was the only strong point jhey had, and they beat us on that; fair and square; but they'll have to keep on beating us, for we'll give them no peace till we heat them." . - I=E!MM=IMI!ITE:a Speaking of abandoning negro suffrage, Wade says : "Never in God's world. ,So‘far as my vote goes, we will never abandon any thing weve done there, but will goTurther and make it worse for the rebels if they don't Tiehave themselves better. It is simply absurd . to talk of making States without the negro vote in the South," - DON'T KNOW NvnERE GIi!LNT STANDS Referring to Preside. mi mat ters,Mr. Wade said it bad looked to him for a year past as if the Republican patty would take Grant up for President, and run hint in with a hurrah. He was sorry to see that disposition, and be lieved no good would come from it. "The trouble with Grant is," said he, "you don't know where he stands. It seems very singu lar that a man could have lived through this terrible war without identifying himself with any party, and that men pretending. to be Republicans, should try to rush him into the While House without asking him a single, question as to where he stands on the great issues now before the country. Still, I have felt it in my bones'-that they would do that very thing.' I asked`Mr. Wade if he had ever conversed with Gen. Grant on political topics. "I have tried to do it," said he, "hut I nev er could bring hint out. When I saw the pop ular current appearing to run in his favor I thought I would like to know how he stood on the great questidns before uswhether he was for Johnson or Congress, or what the devil-he was for ; but I never Could gut any thing out of him. As quick as I'd talk poli tics he'd talk horses, and lie could talk for hours on that without getting tired. Well, horses are very goocl, but in these times a man may be all right on horses anti all wrong on politics. Grant may lie all right for what I know, but-then again he may he all wrong. If he wants to be President by my voice, and `the voice of the men I-act with, he Must not .only be right, but he must prove that lie is." * "We won't take any man's word after what we've gone through. Grant must come out and show his hand as a pronemnced Republican or he can't- get my support. I don't know that my support amounts to much but what little there is of it will go in the right direction. "If Grant -wants the Presidency let him come out like a man and say which side he LS On, and-if lie is strong enough on our side we'll elect him. Ilut• it is neither wise nor necessary for us to run an available-candi date. We will ht im - the southern Stans re organized by that time,,and they will vote right. Then we can rely on enough North ern States to insure the election of our man, whoever he may he. • DIDN'T KNOW 13E7 ;TIIAT LINCOLN WAS GOING TO ItUN A 1110 , TIOTEI During our conversation, the subject of Mrs. Lincoln and her recent disgraceful con duct came up, and, remembering that Mr. Wade was one of a committee appointed by the two Houses to; investigate the pecuniary condition in which Mr. Lincoln's family was left, and report a bill for their relief, I asked him if it was true; as slated by Mrs. Lincoln, that Mr. Lincoln left little orno property be hind him. "No," said lie, "its a d-11 lie. We looked into the matter very carefully. The Illinois men wanted us to give her one hun dred Thousand dollars, and we agreed to do so, if it appeared :that she really needed it. We sent for the administrator of the estate, and he testified that Mr. Lincoln left seventy five thousand dollars in Government bonds, or something like that, besides some little productive property in Springfield, Illinois— m all about one honored thousand dollars. We thought, then, that twenty-five, thousand dollars would be enough—the same as was *paid to the widow of General Harrison. Mrs. Lincoln was very well off and didn't need even what she got. She took a hundred boxes of something or other—l don't know what—away with tier, and the Com,nission .er of Public Buildings swore that there were fifteen Other boxes that she wanted to carry'-off, and he Lad to interfere to prevent her. At any rate she cleaned out the White House. I didn't know• but that she was going to run a big hotel with• all she carried off." WuEn .kiteni; .Wt id was in Virginia City, Nevada, the hardy.piotieers forced gra tuitous whiskey on him every three minutes during his stay. :When he came to go away they surrounded the coach and cheered him. lie mounted the vehicle and said, "Good-bye. Take care of yourselves. I was never in a place in my life where I was treated as well as I have been here, nor, I may add, so often." • Qum? says hO has heard of some mean men, but the Meanest yet is the fellow in Utica, who, according to the Herald, tried to buy a second-hand coffin for his wife. Domestic Relations in Germany, It is permitted, tinder no cirennotaaes, except where theparties are enga,ged, - -that a gentleman should accompany a lady to a theatre, ball or concert, and should it happen, the lady would be declared infamous, and thrown out of all good society. Thi.re are no evening visits made, and, above all, it js forbiddemthat a young man should call up on his young lady acquaintances: in fact, a gentleman can have no lady friends, as-he can never come in contact with them except at halls, where it is under the greatest re. straint. Marriage is reduced to a business contract. A young man sees a lady at a ball, takes a fancy to her looks; inquires , who her parents are, how ranch money they have, and how much the lady will get at her mar riage. If the conditions suit him; i. e„ if he likes the looks of the animal, and the pertin enzen arc to his mind, he visits the parents and pleposes to marry the daughter. The parents make inquiries respecting his posi tion, and especially respecting the quantity of money he may possess. Should the re ports be favorable, they refer.to the daugh ter, tell her the conditions, and if they suit her, they am declared to be engaged. Cardi in the form: ufferr Iftteller, Pre:stria Sekta engaged,"' are :Immediately sent to their friends: The is also proclaimed from the pulpit. From this time they Stand to one another in the. relation of Braid and Braatipm—bride and bridegroom—but not innur sense of the words, as this relation ceahesand they lose these appellations at the marriage. . - The gentleman now has a right to visit the lady when he pleases, which he is expected , to do every evening. He can accompany her in public; to balls, concerts, as he pleases. In fret, he must now improve ids time to fall in love with her. No other man can dance with her, or have 'anything to do with her, without 1114 consent. Should the Brantigam break the engagement and refuse to marry her, the Brunt can sue and obtain damages for breach of promise, but this she never does, as the German idea of honor would not allow it. Should the Brunt ac cidentally have a child—for accidents will happen—it is illegitimate. but is legitimized pe,,,,bvtpmeas mairiffimmiqui. By the mar riage the contract i, complete, and, accord ing to the 'old German maxim, the husband is Herr—lord of the house. She is complete ly under his control, which control is often harsh. - She becomes a machine to work and to have children. We have no women's right women over berm.. They baye no rights, and knowing it, they are content with it, and make no noise about it. Notwithstanding ail these restraints upon society, we cannotsay that the- Germans, as a class, are virtuous ; and - it seems to us that they arc conscious of this themselves, and therefore place the restraints upon the inter course between gentlemen and ladies. The principle on which- they set m to go is; if a young - man can only get with a young wo man, he can seduce her: and the animus is never wantinc• apart until they are engaged, when they have the freest intercourse, it not making much difference what new happen, as ,they are looked upon 'l - rt:` all a, half married. Should a man marry one of the several sisters, and his wife dies, he will, if possible, marry one of the remaining sisters. We have heard of a man who married through a family of four sisters, one after the other. They think by this course the children of the first wife will be better eared for than if they were to marry a person Out of the fam ily. A Severe,Rebuke. Senator Wilson, some weeks ago, hi a speech delivered at Saratoga, said : "There is not a democratic flag floating from the Potomac to Florida." - In reply to this a Democratic soldier of New York, said : "The undersigned remembers when then , was n 'Democratic flag floating' from the Potomac to Florida; and that flag was the Star Span gled Banner, and the time when the Demo cratic flag was floating from the Potomdc to Florida was on the 4th of July, 1t356. The Democrats of the town of Natick, the resi dence of Senator Wilson, hung out the flag at the same time, but he, instead of partici pating in the celebration of the Birthday of the American Republic' in hisi own town, was present at the anti-slavery' meeting in Sontu Framingham, In the same county, and clapped his hands when William Lloyd Gar rison, Wendell Phillips, Parker Pillsbury, Elizur Wright, and a host more, now very Leval Union men, spit upon the Constitution of the United States, then, throwing it to the ground trampled it beneath their ,feet, then consigned it to the flames and burned it to ashes, and these ashes they again tram pled upon. I remember this incident, 'to day, just as clearly as I remember the other fact that at a meeting in Tremont Temple, February, 1861, Carl Schurz slandered George "Washington as a slave-holding old fogy, and that the whole audience clapped applause with their patriotic ,hands, anti on both occasions I never saw either the flag of the country or any other flag—the Danocrat ic flag—of course not. But when John Brown was hung I have seen the flag of the country lowered at half-mast, and that in the town where the, Hon. Senator resided ; and that insult to the National flag was not per petrated by the Democrats, but by the party of which Mr. Wilson is a leader." &UWE'. STERN, MI Orchard street, N. Y.

A 4IIIIER CASE.—Two gentlemen from New lork,orte of whom had been in Cali fornia nearly a year, and the other just ar rived, were accidentally overheard in the following conversation at the Sutter House, Sacramento. The new corner was lament ing his forlorn. condition, and especially his absence front two beautiful daughters who werejust budding into womanhood—when he asked the other if he hada family. "Yes, sir, I have a wife and six children in New York, and I.never saw one of Them." After this the couple sat a few moments in silence, and then the interrogator again commenced: "Were von ever blind, sir ?" "No, sir." Another lapse of time. "Did. I understand yen to bay, sir, that you rind a wife and six children living in :M.tw York. and had never seen one of them ?". "Yes, sir, I s() stated it.'! Another and a long pause of silence. Then the interrogator again inquired: "How can it be, sir, that you never saw one of them?" "Wby," was the response, "one of them was born after I left." "Oh ! ah l" and a general laugh followed.

The result of this severe law is, that 'while in other countries girls try to make people believe that they are "sweet and sev enteen." for many years after they have left school, the Hessian young ladies often de clare they are eighteen years ofd before they have reached that age. The Prussian wither ides, however, will 'Change all that, the - law of Prussia making the minimum marriage able age eighteen fur a man and fourteen for a woman. In Wurtemburg a man is. not al lowed to marry. under twenty-five,exidept by special dispenwidn. A curious law, said to date front the time of the Visigoths, alsotex ists in that country, forbidding any woman to marry a man twelve years younger than herself. In other German States similar zn dmalies occur. Thus, in Saxony, the mini mum marriageable age for a man Is twenty one; for a woman there is no restriction., to Austria, a boy of fourteen may marry a girl of fourteen: while in Baden, where thebride groom is under twenty-five, or the liritle.ttn der eighteen, their marriage is not alined O 3 Lee nbuce authorities RETURN -RosAyn.tx Maui.—The Marietta Register is responsible for the following : We call to mind a story we read in our lic3y hood; in a book about Connecticut, the native State of Colonel Meigs, which told how he received his Christian name. Jonathan Meigs a young man, was "paying attention to a young lath- in the vicinity of his home." On one occasion he had been to "see" her. Dur ing the visit she "dismissed" him, but follow ed him to the door. As he was slowly going away from the house, looking very sorrow fully, the young lady's heart relented, and she called out, "Return Jwwilian Ile was but too happy to comply/ and they were shortly married. The first-born, in commem oration of this. 'Occasion, received the name of "Return Jonathan Meigs." This child grew up to be Colonel Return Jonathan Meigs, of the "Connecticut Line," in the ar my of the Revolution, afterward one of the agent surveyors of, the Ohio Company, and one of the pioneers of Marietta, in April, 1788. Ile died in 1822. His son, Return Jonathan Meigs, Jr., became distinguishel in politics as Judge, 'United States Senator, Governor of Ohio and Postmaster General. WHEN Aaron Burr returned to New York . city to practice law, alter his voluntary exile in Europe, he found the late' Rev. Jedediali Burchard, then a celebrated revivalist, hold ing a series of protracted meetings in'his tinnily church. Ile attended from habit, al ways went late, and disturbed the services by attracting to himself the attention of the au dience on account of his infamous notoriety as the man who shot Alexander Hamilton, and who had been tried for treason. Mr. Burchard resolved to rebuke him openly. The next Sabbath, when he came in and got. about half-way up the aisle, the Clergyman paused in his discourse, anti pointing to Col onel Burr, s:rld in the most scathing manner: "You hoary-headed old sinner, 11l appear against you nt the (lay of judgment !" The proud, defiant old man, standing as erect as ever, with that perfect composure which never deserted him, and fixing his fine grey eyes on the occupant of the - pulpit, replied ; "Mr. Burchard, I 11,4ve observed through a long course of proEssional experience, that the very meanest class of criminals are those .who turn States'evidence !"—Erchange.

How many ridiculous notions they have, and what singular desires, which in af terlife change and shape themselves into characteristics: Who remembers when he' would have. sold his birth-right for a rocking horse, and his new suit of clothes for a mon key ?- Who forgets the sweet-faced girl,older than himself, against whose golden hair he leaned and wept his grief away? Who rec ollects when the thought of being a circus rider appeared greater than to be the Presi dent; and how jealously he watched the lit tle fellows that wore spangled jackets_ and turned somersets, and prayed - to becotne like them ?

Noticing early in the spring that one of his members, a married lady, was not at meeting for sever cal Sabbaths, be called to ask the reason. As her reply was somewhat evasive, he surmised that she "had nothing to wear," and said: "You are waiting for your spring bonnet, I suppose." Weeks passed, and still she did not make her appearance. He therefore thought lie would call again. Approaching the house, he saw her sitting at the open window, and blandly remarked: "Good morning. Have you received your spring bonnet vet ?" "Yes, sir," she archly" replied. "Shall I shdlv it to you ?" "If yod please," answered the wondering-pastor. Holding up a wee bit of a baby, she said, blushing : "This is the spring, bonnet I was.waiting for; slid I do right?" A. CHANTICLEER THAT K:s - v . .w SOMETHING. —A.

"It may be bad," said` she. "If I thought so I wouldn't go," he replied. Just then,an old- rooster, that Tanis his nights on a tree close to the house, commenced crowing lustily, and con firmed for some time. The occurrence was so unusual 'a one for a cock to crow When he WAS just gone tolls roosting place, that the wife said, "You need not fear to go; ru bet the news is good; the old rooster knows it ;" and he did - 71), and was so elated at finding the old cock was right, that be didn't get home until nex-t morning.

"Why I" `Because I intend to pass that boat ahead in fifteen minutes, if there be any virtue in pine knots and loaded safety valves. So don't be alarmed, for if the bilers ain't to bust, they won't."
