"Certainly I do." "Well, sir, can you tell me whether the calf that was killed was a male or a female ?" "Yes, it was a female." "How do 3'ou know that ?" . "Why, because," said Reese, looking the chap in the face, "I see the male is still alive." QrrrE Coxcm sive. A story is told of a clergyman who lived in Ixnvell, who was once charged with having violently dragged his wife from a revival meeting, and compelled her to go home with him. The clergyman let the story run ahead till he had a fair opportunity to give it a broadside. I Tpon being charged with the offence, lie replied as follows : "In the first place, I never attempted to influence my wife in her views, nor her choice of meeting. Secondly, my wife has not attended any of the revival meet ings. In the third place, I have not atten ded any whatever. To conclude, neither my wife nor myself have any inclination to go to those meetings. Finally I never had a wife." Tutixg to Head Him Off. As soon as it was known that President Johnson had vetoed the Kreedmen's Rureau Dill, lien Wade introduced into the Senate a proposed amendment to the Constitution" to prevent any man from being re-elected to the Presidency. That blow is aimed right at Andrew Johnson. The radicals fearing the spontaneous voice of the people would call him to preside for a second and full term over the affairs of the nation which he is doing so much to save, are taking this method to head him off. We calculate the people will have something to say in regard to the adoption of any such amendment. The radicals will find that the days when they could safely ignore the will of the people are numbered. A Dwf.am. A few nights since a friend of ours, w hile wrapped in the slumbers of midnight, "dreamed a dream," and ima gined he was on a pleasure excursion to the infernal regions.

On LaniUni's resolutions approviny the action of those members of Congress from Penn sylvania, trho voted in facor oflhe District rf Columbia Ngro Suffrage Hill, and instructing the Pennsylvania U. S. Sena tors to support the same in the U. S. Sen ate. Mr. WALLACE said : Mr. Speaker, I approach this subject seriously, feeling deeply the responsibilities that rest upon me as a Senator upon this floor, and that seriousness of feeling is impressed upon me by the earnestness with which this measure is urged by Senators. I desire to meet the responsibility which we are asked to meet, calmly, dispassionately and fearlessly, as did the Senator, (Mr. Low ry,) w ho prccceded me. seek nil7. i:h;ht axi follow it. The Senator from Bradford, (Mr. Lan don,) takes the position that we should seek the right, and fearlessly follow it. I desire to do so. I desire to use the feeble intellect that God Almighty has given mn, in discerning the right ; and, when I dis cern it, obeying the instincts of my nature and of my blood obeying not these alone but the experience that all history points out to me obeying the teaching of the past, I desire to follow the path fearlessly and faithfully. I do not desire, sir, to Set up my feeble judgment, my finite ideas, as the will of Dim who sits above and rules the heavens and the, earth. Ear be it from me, an erring human creature, thus to elevate myself. Iiut, sir, by the teachings of the past, by the experience of the present, by those things that are im planted deep in the hearts and minds of my race, I desire to test this question and to determine my line of duty. Sir, I seek no new path ; but as a practical, earnest, honest citizen of this republic, 1 desire to be guided by all the lights that history throws around me. I desire to be guided by all the characteristics and circumstan ces that unite to make up our present glo rious record. THE IT.Or-LE THE AKHITELS This question of suffrage is one of the most important that has ever been ap proached or ever can be approached by the people of this country. It is peculi arly a question to be decided by the peo ple themselves, and not by their represen tatives, and I desire to impress it upon Senators, that whenever and wherever in all the Slates of this country it has been attempted to decide the question of the right of suffrage, it has invariably Leon referred by the Representative authorities to the source of all power, the people. You seek anew path, are about to initiate the right of exercising this great privilege without the action of the people, and against their known will. is it a i:ic.iit 1 Now, sir, is the right of sufi'rage a laoirr in its more -extensive and natural sense? I a'dlrm that it is not. It has ever been treated, on the contrary, as a conventional right. Why, sir, the En glishman or the Frenchman, possessed of all the education, the refinement and the culture that he may have acquired in the highest schools of his native country, when he comes to this continent, does not here at once obtain at our hands the right to this priceless boon, this testimonial of sov ereignty ; but he is compelled to endure a period of probation before he is clothed with that right. Sir, Massachusetts, from w hich 3 0U get your ideas, to whose statute books you look for examples she who is now governing this country through the men whom you follow she, too, re quires fitness. Her constitution places upon its pages the requirement of a capac ity to read ami write, before this privilege is granted. New York, too, requires a qualification in the shape of property. Now, these instances, it would appear to me, are sufficient to satisfy any reasonable mind that this is not a natural right, as understood in this country, but that it is a conventional right. The men whose (cachings and leadings my friend from Erie, (Mr. Ijowry,) and the Senator from Bradford, (Mr. Landon,) are following the EngMi Abolitionists w ho freed the negroes of Jamaica, then and there placed a qualification upon the right of suffrage they required that before the freed man should have the right to vote he should be possessed in his ow n right, of five acres of land. So that the teachings net only of Massachusetts and New York, but of the men w ho originated this idea that has cul minated and brought upon us untold mis ery, have admitted the fact that this is a conventional and not a natural right. This conventional right is then to be given or withheld according to its propri ety or the will of a majority or ruling power of the State. 1 shall not discuss HIGH AND THE LOW, THE RICH AND the latter consideration, as that is one fit ted for another forum, and will be ap proached in the not far distant fu ture, but I shall confine my remarks to the pnpricty of granting or withholding this right of suffrage to or from the people to whom Congress proposes to give it. The Senator from Bradford, (Mr. Lan don,) has furnished me with a very appro priate text, a text that I shall not fail to use, and in dilating upon it, or in my dis cussion of the subject before us, whilst I shall speak emphatically, whilst my ut terances shall be my convictions, 1 trust I shall be offensive to none. ELEVATION AND rnOGKFS.S OF HI MANITY. The Senator from Bradford ailirms that God's law is the elevation of humanity. Granted. He asserts that the law of progress is the law of the world. Admit ted. Do 1 understand his first proposi tien to be that he who is elevated is to re main stationary whilst he who is below is to be elevated to the higher standard. I will not do him so great injustice. His first proposition is and of right ought to be consistent with the second, and if it be, we agree in practice aa well as in senti ment. The elevation of humanity as well as the law of progress requires that each should move onward and upward from the standpoint he ljefore occupied, so that he who before was civilized may now be come enlightened, whilst he who before was barbarous may now become civilized. Let us now take the bearings of these propositions upon the practical question before us. our: rijoi ;i:f.ss. Has not the elevation of humanity upon this continent, in the past seventy j"ears, been such as was never before witnessed upon the earth? Has not jour progress been unexampled in the history of the world ? None will gainsay these propo sitions. The story of your nation is the romance of progress ; the history of your Republic, the holiday of man's elevation. Look, if you please, at its triumphs. See, if you will, its material progress. See forest felled ; the soil tilled. See your broad acres, stretching from the At lantic to the Pacific. See the lightning of heaven made to do your bidding. See every river and lake, and mountain, and shore coursed by the chained elements that have been brought fiom the earth, from the air, from the water, to obey the will of man, that have been harnessed by man and are upturning the soil, ploughing the water, travelling over the mountain, saving labor, easing the curse c f God that "man t-hall eat his bread in the sweat of his brow" all these you have before you in your material progress. You have in creased from three millions to thirty-live millions of people. Sir, the arts and sci ences flourish here as they do in no other land in all the world. Hen-, you see pop ulation and expanse of land and, not least of all, power magnificent power, as dis played in the last four years the grasp of mind, the vigor of intellect that could bring into being armies such as we have put into the field, that could provide for sustaining and feeding armies such as have thundered across our country and at whose numbers and prowess the world stood aghast. Sirs, go with me t the Capitol at Washington. There, from foundation to turret-stone, from the ground to the statue that crowns the dome, you see in every stone and every coiner, upon every door way the recorded evidences of somebody's triumph, of somebody's capacity for pro gress, of somebody's magnificent future. The Senator from Beiks quotes Judge llopkinson anel Hail Columbia. lie might have added that the Star Spangled Banner and Hail Columbia sing of the victories of the white man ; they tell us in eloquent song of the triumphs of our race, ami will eve r be their grand memen to ; but Dixie, with its purling cadences and melting strains, floats to the ear the impress of its paternity, and will descend in all time as the Ethiopian strain that marshaled the hosts of an unsuccessful re bellion. Sirs, remember remember that these things, "trilles light as air," evince what we are and what we are to be. Conceded that the law of the world is the law of progress ; conceded that God's law is the elevation of humanity-, our progress is already' unexampled, our grade of humanity largely elevated. Sirs, these are the triumphs not of the men with the elongated heel, flat nose and kinky hair, but these are the triumphs of the men with acquiline nose, straight hair and white cuticle. These are the tri umphs of the race to which you and I be long ; and you are less than a man if y ou do not glory in them and stp at the brink of the precipice over which they are about to be sacrificed in an unknown future. Arc these evidences of triumph, are these cvideue.es of capacity for progress, THE POOR. VOL. 13 NO. 3. are these rccorilcd indications of what is yet to come, evidences of our triumphs or evidences of the triumphs of another race ? Sirs, these are evidences of our triumph's. Shall we surrender these, the insigna of our race ? Shall we surrender these, the trophies we have won in a war with mat ter I Shall we basely bow our neck and submissively yield these trophies to a weaker race ? Shall these bs the badges of our weakness, the trophies of a mixed and mongrel race ? Sirs, shall we surren der the ballot, the emblem of sovereignty, that which makes us men ? Shall this be yielded to the hand of another race ? These are the questions that confront us. SH ALL WE I'.E I'ETl l".UEI ? I have briefly portrayed to you the evi dences of your capacity for progress. Nations differ as do men ; nations are as diverse in intellect and in capacity for pro gress as are individuals in the different qualities which they possess. Sir, in one race you have capacity for progress ; in another race you have 110 such capacity, lie have demonstrated our capacity for progress. Have the black race demon strated theirs ? Sirs, what is their histo ry .' Have they capacity lor progress? They are inert; stoil and lifeless, and the proposition that you set up by these reso lutions, when carried toils legitimate con clusion, is simply the chaining f a MAN WHO IS I I I I. OF VITALITY ANI WHO HAS lr.MONSIi:ATEI HH CAPACITY KOI: Piax.KF.sS To THE t KPSIM JKK IK I Y OF THAT MVS WHO HAS NO ' APA ITY Id!! fkoguess. I shall undertake to prove this as I progress. THE NEOlto 11 A. No I A PA. ITY Foil 1'ROORFsS. There are races that have no history, and known and recognized for thousands of years, the negro is still without a pro gressive bistorv. Mingling for centuries with the Egyptian, the Carthagenian and the Roman, they still remain the same, and on no page of written history, either j sacred or profane, is it shown that they ; possessed ability in intellect or gained any j of the material advantages that belong to ! a progressive race. Singular as is this j omission of their favorable mention in his I tory, it may yet have boon accidental, bur if in all time past lhe-y have demonstrated capacity for progress, -" evidence should exist of the fact: tradition, ruined edifices, marks of power losf, energy displayed and battles wou should somewhere appear. None such exist. No such evidence can be found. In all other portions of the known world save Ceiitial and Southern A frier, evidences of progress and developemenr. appear. In some, the ever eliacing hand of time and the myriad of causes that prove to us that nations, like men, are mortal, have swept away the elements of refinement and of civilization, and left but ruins to tell the story of their existence. Asia, with her teeming millions, at every turn demonstrates her capacity for pro mess. China. India, Persia, the lands of the Russ, the Tartar and the Turk, bear upon their soil the evidences of present civilization ami of past magnificence : and Babylon, Tadmor, Ninevah and Edom rise up in sombre grandeur to testify to the capacity of the hand that fashioned them. Europe is ik-vv the centre of leiincineiit and of the arts, and her mined tempi, s, decayed arches and crumbling ruins speak eloquently of tin capacity and power of the nations that once peopled her valley s and dictated laws to the habitable globe. America. North r.nd South, before too advent of the Anglo-Saxon, was peopled bv tribes of men in whom the capacity for progress was clearly a fact. The im press of their hands, the inwounients of their existence are found in the Mississip pi alley, in the sculptured ruins of I'x nial and Palenqne, in the elaborate ma sonry and splendid structures of Mexico, and in the debris of the palaces of the In c.is. liven Africa, north of the equator, brings her tribute of evidence to the fact I assert. The storied pillars and imper ishable pyramids of Egypt, and the almost buried remnants of ancient Carthage stand out amid the sands of the desert and unite in the declaration that their builders possessed all the elements of human wis dom and progress, and in corroborating the truths of sacred 'and profane history. The tawny Moor, with proud port and Hashing eve, remembers the glorious rec ord of his race, and even now in his burning home the memories of Granada and of the Alhamora are told in story aud in song. (To le C-M.tiitue.l.) Is a-recent sermon upen the training of children, Henry Ward Beccher gave the following advice to parents : "Never strike a child on the head.
