Soliloquy of a Loafer.
~ ..._. ,
Let's see, where am 17 This is-rcoal
I'm lying on. ' Was coming up street—
met a wheelbarrow—was drunk; coming
t'other way—the wheelbarrow fell over
me, or I over the wheelbarrow, and ono
of us fell into the cellardon't know.,
which now—guess it must ha'. been me. 1
Im a nice young man; yes I:am—tight I
tore! drunk_," Well, I can't .help it—
'taint my fault--wonder whose fault 'tis ?
Is it:Jones' fault ? No. Is it my wife's
fault? Well;-it ain't. Is it the wheel
barrow's fault?' No. It's whiskey's fault.
Who is whiskey 7 - Ha3 he a large family?
All poor, I reckon. I think I won't own
him anymore. I'll cut his acquaintance.
I've had that notion for about ten years,
and always bate te do it for fear of hurt
ing his feelings. I'll do it now. I think
liquor's injurint me—it's spoiling my
temper. I •
Sometimei I get mad when I'm drunk,
and abase Bets and theboys; it used to
be Lizzie; and: the children—that's some
time ago.l Ind come home - 'o evenin's an'
she'd put he' arms around my neck an'
( r
kiss me, an' call me her dear William.
When , I comes now, she takes her pipe
out of her mouth, and her hair out of her
eyes, an' says something like : "Bill, you
drunken brUfe, shut the door, after you ;
we're cold ehough bavin' no, fire,
,'thout
lettirig the snow blow in that way." Yes,
sheaf Bets, an' I'm Bill,l now. I ain't a
zood: Bill, nuttier, think"l'm a counter
fett ; won't pass—a tavern without goin'
'in nn' gettin'..drunk. Don't Inow what
baulc. Last Saturday I was on the river
bank—drunlk,
I stay out pretty late; no, sometimes
I'm out all night . ; fact is, I'm out pretty,
much all over, out of friends, out of,
pocket, out ;at the elbows and knees, and
always out-iageously dirty—so Bets says'
but then she's no judgo, for she's never
clean herself: I wonder why she doestiV,
wear good 1 clothes. Maybe she hasn't'
got 'em ; Whose fault's that I—isn't wine
—must be 'Whiskey's.
Sometimes Pm in, however; intox
icated now and in somebody's coal cellar.-1
There's one principle I've got—l won't
go in debt ;. I never could do it... There,
one of my'coat tails is gone—got tore off,
I expect, When I fell iii here. I'll have
to, get a new suit soon. A fellow told ue
day that I'd make a good sign for
a paper mill. If he wasn't so big Pd
kick him. I've had this shirt i on for nine!
days, antlym afraid it won't come off
without tearin'. People ought to respe,et
me iniire'nl they do, for I'm in holey orders,
--I ain't a. dandy, though my clothes are
pretty rear Gresaian style. I e,uess tUre
this win4w shutter in my pants t'other
night when I sat. down on the wax in.
Ben Itugi's shop; 'l'll have to get' it
mended, Or—l'll catch cold. I ain't
stout. A 4 the : boys sy, I'm fat as a
match and as healthy as the small. pox.
Dip best hat is standing guard for a win-'
dow panOliat Went out Cother morning
at the- imitation of; a brick-bat. It's ;iet
ting cold down here;
I w6'ider if lain't
able to chmb. If I had r. drink Leould
think bet er. , Let's see.; I itin't.got three
cents; if was in a tavern I could sponge
one. Whenever anybody treats
,and says
‘,'come fqlers " I always think my name's
'.(feller," and I've. got too god nanners,
to refuel Well, I must leave this; or
they'll arrest me . for an attempt at hur
glziry. Idt. :ai come to that yet. Any.
,
'how, it was the wheelbarrow that did. the

The Congressional tribUte to the memory
of Abraham Lincoln has been a great occa .
- sion. Everything passed off smoothly. • The
oraftor of the day, Hon. George, Bancrofl—:
was iii fine health' and spirits, and his effort
Was well jteelve'd by the large audience as •
sembleno hear him.' Owing to the greater
mtadst . felt in this memorial - , occasion but
:
little else has been .done ;here:for some time.
Fred. Douglass deliverd one of his very best
lectures here last Tuesday ;evening; His an
diencp was large,' intelligent and attentive,
but mixed as to 'color. Chief Justich Chase
presided: He said so many good things it-is
in vain to atterrig to 'give • Omni all. Allud
ing to the - Mooted questiOnWhethertherebel
liona.States- were or 'cptilld be out of the
Cabin, he said that "from till he . could hear
.from bis friendS at the !South, he had been
forced to the. coneluSion that the Union was
pretty well out of some of the-States;"
Ihad the good fortuni• recer.tly to : listento

memberolCongress Gtha,- Brisbie,, NVh•

SOuthern States.;-.: The General •latlvinc - all
1 . 1 surmises and 'theories to others; contents
himself by stating in a clear, concise Way the
plain facts- as they fell under his observation.
He will - probably go'befoo the Coinutittee of
fifteen on Reconstruction. IllisreprOentations
:are fully confirmed from every reliably source.
The state of thing's existing at the South
_clearly demands • Immediate I and effectual
cation for the protectionlof, thoSe wbothro'
.the war have•been Govariment.
They nre persecuted on eery hand, and even
• their right to l fife not respected. I
. Encouraged by the Prepident'.s uneXampled
inagnanimltyHfor it can he called .bylnOother
name- 7 -in restoring to thlern their .jtistly for-
feited rights, l they assumh t 2 carry all before
them with a high hand ; krid-4.ey fondly sup
posed—until; Congress nipped their young
hope in the, that . the (Illy was not fur
distant - when they, with the'natherU Copper
heads, shaild rule thin& again throughout
I this land., asl with a rod of iron. The. bluff
game they hoped would 'succeed, bUt baying
been called down they. will ( have I to show
their hand and loSe the bet. II •
The next progrmime I takh it Will be to
assume - a hearty Unionism,4all except' the
Negro Suffrage;—and to atteri i ipt to regain by
strategeni what was by) open war.. It
need occasion no surprise shobldlsome of the
most virUlent and- prodainend rebels go into

The delusion that - COngress•is principally:
to' blame for the debt) , an 'inconvenience
experie4ed I)s'ex-rebels in getting into Con
gress; arid consequently into frail. fighting re
lations with the Iclyal party4--has been dis- '
solved by the report of a:delegation of South
ern genUernen, who have visited some of the
Principal. cities' of the \orth on a tour of in
quiry-. •
.The : report pf .one—the 'Chairman I
believe of the; delegation—rendered verbally
to his compatriots who had been here
ugging; thefdeltisive Rhant6m of hope" was
exceedingly brief, l quite: to • the point, and no
doubt s.trictly l true,. Here is the report "Con
gress is had, - but the people 'ere a d-d sight
worse ; we rhust change our plan."..
The, plan is, of course to get into Congress,
then into power, and rthen-L-woe be ,to all
niggers and iYankees.
In the present situation I think it behoqves
all truly loyal men in Congress to inquire
what legislation, if any, 'is necessary to keep
the Republican Party, in power for the next
ten years. Therein alone is our only safety
against being violently driven back on the
line of our onward march, to our former
wretched condition, if not to one still worse.

• Repeal of th e Tax on Real Estate,
We hav'e already announced the fact of the
passage, in the !Inns°, of a bill repealing the,
tax on real esiate. On the final passage of
this most meritorious measufe, the vote was
almost unanimous, from which it could fairly
be inferred that no opposition was offered td
the bill, (lid the facts connected with its pro,
gress - in the HouSe not show otherwise. B 1
from the first rea:ding of the bill doWn to th
.
taking of the vote on its final passage, t,q
Democrat'c side of the House opposed it with
marked violence. Amendments were pro
posed calculated to render it odious. RepubL
lican members clearly showed that the mess;
tire was - designed to . benefit the tenant and
not the landlord, as the former and hot thb
latter paid the tax on real estate. The crguL
went had rin force with the opposition, ais
they confirmed their efforts to defeat th 6
measure,'unfil, as we have already stated, the
bill reached:its final passage, when the ver l p ,
sought l
men who t,its defeat voted far its adop
tion. • But- this was a miserable dodge. It
was an effort to escape the odium of utte -
ances indulged during the diseussion of tl c
bill ; and when that debate is published, t
will be shoWn that no measure recently before
the•Le,gislature received a fiercer oppo.sitidn
from the Democracy than the repeal of the
tax on real estate. After all the professiois
of DemeeratiC love for the pOor man, with
which tlie country has been so frequenty
nauseated, thfii last evidence of their hypo -
risy will suffice to pillory these partizans in
the contempt .lif the people. - I
Xte - A prominent Georgia Unionist, writ
ing to Washington, says: "One thing (is
tnanitOst--secession, to-day, politically 1 ,is
stronger than before the war, and Unionists
more iinder the ban of the people."
Billtard "runs" are as exciting to th 6 dcv
otees Of that sport as; Cherry or Denis ( jßnns
to oil burkters. The French player, arum,
made;. run of 513 points a few days isgo; in
Richmond, while a paper tells of a man, who,
in playing a game or billiards, "lamed" the
two eds" and rhade a run of 2,270 points,
How gEWSPAPERS APPRECIATE OR
ATORY.--The 'difference between a man's
sown estimate of himself, and the estimate
in which ethers hold him, is nowhere
more marked than in the cases of - the
statesmen at the present day and genera
tion. There are in Congress assembled
a large number of gentlenien who believe,
honosly, no doabt, that; without the as
sistance of their inntellec and voices, the
ountry never can have ,a thorough un-.
derstanding of, the great: problem of re
construction ; hence they exercise their
constitutional right of great verbal expec
torations, from truly charitable and com
menda_blei motives. Not only do they
think it their right and duty to speak,
but they are confident that it is the duty
of the newspapers to print all they say.
One who thus believes, made a speech in
the hopse a few days ago, and the next
day was pained' to find his two hours'
effort boiled down into abont twenty lines
in the New York papers. He was indig•
nant—he was mad----he wrote to The
Herald; enclosing a copy of his Speedh in
The Globe, and inquiring whether Mr.
James Gordon Bennett wouldn't do him
the „justice, and his readers the favor, of
publishing bis "argument" entire.' Tn
reply, be received a note from James
Gordon's advertising clerk, informing
him that his speech would make so many
squares in The Herald, which, at so much
a square, would come to' so, much, actu
ally $1,500. Think of asking a poor
Corsgressman half his year's salary for
printinghis "argument." The M.C. thinks
Bennett is a wretch, and that the press
of the country is awfully demoralized.—

Celebration of Lincoln's Birthday.
'WASHINGTON, Feb. 12, '66.
The flags over the Public Buildings,
includin g the Capitol, are at half mast to
day. At, ten o'clock the doors leading to
the rotunda of the Capitol were 'open to
those to whom invitations bad been ex
' tended by the presiding officers of the two
houses, and to those holding tickets of ad
'mission to the galleries,issuaby the chair
' man of joint committee of arrange
ments. i The hall of the House of Repro
lsentatives was opened for the admission
0f representatives and those to whom
I,
litivitations had been extended before be
ing conducted to the seats assigned to
11
them.
The, President of the , United States
was seated in front of the Speaker's table.
[The Chief Justice and associate justices
of the SupreMe Court of the United
I States occupied seats next to the Presi
dent, and on the right of the Speaker's
table. The heads of Departments, with
the e Diplomatic Corps, occupied seats next
to the President, on the left of the Speak
er's table. Officers of the army And navy,
1 who liy name have received the thanks
of Congress, occupied seats next to the
Supreme Court.
On the right of the Speaker's table,
representatives occupied seats on either
side,of the hall, in the rear of those in
vited. Four rows on'either side of the
main aisles, for Senators, in addition to
those above mentioned, were the assistant
Heads of the Departments, Governors Of
States, and Territories, the Mayors of
('Washington and Georgetown, the. Chief
Justices and Judges of the. Court of
the District of Columbia, the bead of bu
reaus in the departments, and others.
When Lieut. General Grant entered
the gallery with the ladies, he was greeted
with applause.
The army and navy officers were in
uniform. The diplomatic Corps appeared
in citizens' dress.
Gen. B. F. Butler, on entering the
Hall,'was applauded by his friends.
• The House, was called to order at twelve
o'clock by the Speaker, who, after a prayer
by' the Bev. Mr. Boynton, laid before
them a letter from Secretary Seward,
addressed- to the Speaker, making his
acknowledgments for the invitation to be
present on this occasion, but sincerely
regretting that the state of his health
forbids his attendance on the interesting
national ceremonies. The Cabinet, ex
cepting Mr. Seward, were present.
, - Senator Doolittle conducted the orator
,of the day to a seat at the table of the
clerk of the House. When the Senators,
the President and his Cabinet and the
Supreme Court entered the Hall those
on the floor rose to their feet and stood
until they were all seated. Every seat
in the Hall was occupied. The scene
was brilliant and imposing, and apart'
from the solemn occasion, it was interest
ing from the fact that here were repre
sented all branches of the General and
State Governments, with the ministers
.from foreign governments, these and
thousands of others meeting and paying
their tributes to the memory of the illus
trious dead. The Marine Band in the
rear of the reporters' gallery, performed
a solemn air from the opera of La Tra
vatore, when Dr. Boynton, the Chaplain
of the House, delivered n prayer. Hon.
Lafayette S. Foster, President of the Sen
ate p ro. tem.., calls the House to order in
a few pertinent remarks. He introduced
