Not so now. It is no honor now to be a member of Congress or occupy a seat on the Supreme bench of the State. The surging* of war brought into office, most who were never dreamed of for snch por tions. It is truly a day of very small men, and to a statesmen the private post is the post of honor. We do not know what these officials think of their own status, but we can assure thern—all who hold of fice against the known will of the people — that they are held in perfect contempt by every true gentleman and liberty loving patriot. They may strut the streets for a while, and surfeit upon the blood of their own countrt men, but the time will come when they will lose official position, and disgrace and eternal bauishment from re spectable society be the closing scene of their lives, and Infamy be their epitaph.— West Tennessee Whig. flow LONG?—A correspondent asks us how long is the infamous, unconstitutional annoying, prying,•troublesome Income Tax to continue ?" We answer, that it will be continued as long as the Republican party hold power ! That party has discovered what they call "the resources of the coun try." Having done so they intend to en joy them ; and being in possession, obvi ously proceed as miners do, when they discover a golden gulch. They are making preparations io stay —and this is w hat the Reconstruction and other bills in Congress reallv mean—with a determination to get at the gold bv all known processes, and if these fail, to invent new ones among the miners. If it is contained in quartz, it must be "crushed out" of it. The Repub licans being like the miners, the people are comparable to the quartz. They must yield their gold to supply the extravagan cies offcnyria Is of Republican tax-ga'her ers, and pay for the costlv exocriments in the government of the Republican party, even though they are crushed. —Argus. REVOLUTION*. Revolving centuries bring about strange changes. In the infancy of Freedom, when law was yet in swaddling clothes, the Barons of England, a privil eged class, combined to wrest from King John the Magna Charta which secured to all Englishmen those peculiar rights of freemen, trial by jury and the writ af ha beas corpus. In 18G7, the age ot liberal principles and enlightened ideas, in a great Republic which boasts that its les sons of freedom are being conned wherev er the tongue of man has been taught to svlluble the word, their representatives of a democratic people, with the lying cant of liberty and equality on their lips, com bine to wrest those same rights of trial by jury and habeas corpus from eight millions of American citizens. ■ *• ■■ A patron of a newspaper once said to the publisher : "Mr. Printer, how is it that you have never called on me for the pay for your paper ?" "Oh," said the man of type, "we never ask a gentleman for money." "Indeed," replied the patron, "then how do you get along when they don't pay ?" "Why," said the editor, "after a certain time we conclude that a man who fails to pay for bis paper is not a gentleman, and then we ask him." "Ah, yes ! I 6ee. Mr. Printer, please make my receipt and have my name all right on your books." A Hew Society. A few days since an old friend handed as for re-publication the following Consti tution—of a strange society. The paper upon which it is printed, bears all the marks and color of antiquity ; giving color to the opinion that its author (whose style is Lorenzo Dowisb,) has long since gone to his reward in Heaven. The new society he endeavored to establish, had, 'doubtless, "gone before." The evidences, if any, of its existence are very faint indeed, in this day and generation. But, while even good societies may be broken up and their history be lost in the darkness of the past, i principles founded in Mercy, Truth and ! Justice will live forever. We have looked over these twelve ar ticles of the Constitution ; and are of the opinion that it would be a good work to revive this old-fashioned, obsolete society; especially as there arc a great many well meaning people who are just now hesitating about what society, among the numerous ones now in vogue, they had better join. We hope at least, that those into whose hands this constitution falls, will preserve and read it, once a week; or until they fully understand its principles"; to the end, ; that a rousing revival of them may be started right here in our midst. Come right forward brethren and sisters and join THE SELF-EX A MINI NO SQCIETV. And the many Societies established in out country to extend the principles of j Christianity, and to improve the morals of the people at large, it is a subject of real regret, that while so laudable a zeal is manifested, and so tnnch pains taken to remove the mote cit of our neighbor's eyes, that there should be no society formed, no pains taken, to induce men firtst to cast the beam out of their own ; or in other words, a society whose end and aim should be to examine our* own heart, and lives, and see if we ourselves are not guilty of some habits and vies that need reform, which are equally as bad a* those which we are so ready to discover in our neighbors. This society, it would seem, ought to take the lead of all others; and itjehould be the first object of our exertions to suppress the vices and follies'of man kind. "Physician heal thyself," is an ad monition coming from the highest author ity, and is as applicable to the Scribes and Pharisees now as it was eighteen hundred year ago. Did the members of our popu lar societies, a? well as others, take half the pahs to examine themselves and cor rect th ir own faults, t-Laf they do to hunt and cxp-'Se the faults and tollies of others, how in ich more like Christians would they act ? How much ..lore happv and peaceable would be the condition of every community and neighborhood ? And were a society of self-examination once in stituted, in this or any other place, and made as popular as our T: mperence Socie ties and many others now are, how much less running to and fro, or of numbers standing in the corner* of the streets, thanking flod that they arc not like other men, should wc then bell -Id.

NKGRO CONTENTION IN NASHVILLB— On Saturday last the negroes of Nashville held a convention. From the proceed ings we clip the following, which will no doubt prove interesting to many. Hie Secretary, Jordan M'Gowan, made a few remarks to the effect that he was "an old Virginia nigger" of the right stripe and his experience taught him that the Southern people had always been his best friends, and were his best friends now. Ihe coloted men who now refused to act with the Conservative party would in a few years mourn their mistake. The people of Davidson county had ever al io wed their slaves better • privileges than in any other part cf the country. He would support and vote the most upright man, whether Whig, Democrat or rebbel, A negro named Washington made a speech in which he stated that the South will go further for our good than any Rad ical dare do. I say to'the Southern men, hold your heads up; your time will come yet. Let others go as they may, 1 will iorever stick to those who wore the gray. Hie following are among the resolutions adopted: Resolved, That believing the spirit and tendencies of radicalism are unfavorable to these aims, we take our stand with the true Union Conservatives of Tennessee, and invite our race throughout the State to do the same. Resolved, '1 hat our right Jo vote involves the right to hold office, and that its denial is unjust; and that our interest* and rights as freemen require also that we should have the right to sit upon juries Oh Ho! The New York Times makes a confes sion, which would have caused the con fessor—if a Copperhead, to be branded as "disloyal," "traitor," &c. The confession is this : "The policy pursued by Congress for the last two years will inevitably end in a practical repudiation of the public debt— and it is just as well for the countiy to understand this first as last. And the danger is that this policy always WILL be pursued, for it is the one dictated by the personal necessities and asperationa of in dividual members. Evary member de sires a re-election or promotion in public life, and he can only get it by securing votes of his constituents. Every member has among his constituents more or less soldiers—in very many, perhaps a majori ty of all the districts, enough to turn the scale between contending political parties. Accordingly every member is tempted to vote, under one pretence or another, large sums of money to the soldiers—a vote which it is easy to justify on the score of patriotism, and which few men have the courage under any circumstances to resist. Hence hilf a dozen members are already running a race to see which shall propose the largest donations to the soldiers. More Reconstruction The insincerity and duplicity of Con gress, in submitting the military bill to the Southern States as a tinality on the subject of reconstruction, is shown in the fact that a supplementary bill has already already'passed Congress which overthrows the most important principles of the orig inal bill. The original bill left it optionary with the States to accept the measure or reject it, and the suffrage question was controlled by the terms of the Constitu tional amendment. The new bill, howev er, puts the subject of elections under the control of the Brigadiers and requires that they shall be held. It also provides for the registration of all voters, under which system the greater part of those not pro scribed by the amendment can, and proba bly will be, excluded. It may be set down as a fixed fact, that the Jacobins have on idea of restoring the Southern States until after another Presidential election, any concessions made to secure earlier admission will be wasted upon men who have a policy to which they intend to ad here and from which there is no power to drive them. — Banner of Liberty, The entire assetts of a recent bankrupt, were nine children. The creditors acted magnanimously ana let him keep them. A person may believe as h pleases abont things ; but things will not, therefore, be as be pleases. Bingham and Butler—Mrs, Surratt Inno cent. The telegraph from Washington gives a scanty outline of a recriminating passage betweeh Butler, of Massachusetts, and Bingham, of Ohio, whiqh contains the fol lowing allusions : " Mr, Bingham said it does not become the gentleman who recorded his vote fifty times (Eldridge suggested fifty seven time) for the arch traitor of rebellihn, for the Presidency of the United States, to under take to cast an imputation either on my integrity or my honor. I repel with scorn and contempt any utterance of that kind by any man, whether he be the hero of Fort Fisher taken, or the hero, of Fort Fisher not taken. (Roars of laughter,) I also stand here sir in the name of the American people to repel with scorn any attempt to levy charities by confiscation in violation of the Constitution of my coun try. This," sir, is the proposition which the gentleman (Mr. Butler,) dares to niter in the American Congress iu the sacred name of charity." (Applause and laugh ter. To which Butler is said to have replied ; "I did the best I could; other men of more ability could do more, and no man is ready to give higher plaudit for their valor, their discretion and their conduct, than myself. Because I could not do more, I would feel exceedingly chagrined if, during the war, the gentleman from Ohio, Mr. Bingham, did as much, I sho lid be glad to recognize that much done, but the only victim of the gentleman's prowess that I know of was an innocent woman hanged upon the scaffold His only victim was one Mrs. Surratt. I can sustain the memory o f Fort Fisher if he and his associates can sustain him in the bleod of a woman triid by military commission and condemned without sufficient evidence, in my judgment. We have at last one of the secrets of the charnel house; wrung from an unwill ing witness, but nevertheless a witness in vested with every right to speak. It is at this late day, to sustain himself, that But ler charges the Government prosecutor against Mrs. Surratt, with being her mur derer ; that the blood of an innocent wo man is upon the head of the member from Ohio, and his associates in that tragic and melancholy occurrence. If this Massa chusetts lawyer knew the testimony against Mrs. Surratt, was insufficient, during the trial, and that she was innocent, why in the name of justice, did he not say so then and throw the weight of his name and in, tiuence in her behalf; at least have guar anteed President Johnson's personal safety in the event of a respite, until the popular heat had time to cool and the demand for blord was less boisterous. That the President was inclined to clem ency in that case we are assured, but why was Anna ; Surratt, the broken herrted daughter, denied the presence of the chief magistrate? Butler kuew the party who me her in tho White House and mocked her entreaties to see Mr. Johnson to obtain a few days life for her mother. It may yet come out that intimidations were used against the President, that if he interfered, his own complicity in the assassination would he more t' an suspected. We nev er entertained a doubt of the innocence of; Mrs. Suriatt, of the horrible crime impu j ted to her, hut feci satisfied with Butler, j that she was made a victim to satisfy a, longing for vengeance, the intensity of which \as proportionate to the brutal mur der of a President.— Ex, When the sterling, honest, old and true Democracy was in power, $8 A DAY was the pav of members of Congress, and $3 A DAY for members of the Legisla ture. It was then thought an extravagant price, and that man could hardly have been found with courage and assurance sufficient to have even proposed an increase. It is now six short \ ears since the Democracy became exiles and the abolitionists have as sumed their places. The old landmarks of honesty, economy and fidelity, have given way to theft, extravagance and corruption What is the result ? In the single item' of the pay of our legislators, we have *?eu Members of Congress advanced from $8 a day, first to $3,000 a year, and then to So.ooo, equivalent to about S4O a day for the sitting—five times the. old Democratic pay. We say nothing about the piqkinys, which have also immensely increased. As to our $3 a dav members of the Legisla ture, —they too have kept pace with the abolition times. They first run up to SSOO for the session, then to $7.20, then to SIOOO (which it is now) and a proposition as be fore the present Legislature, which will probably be adopted, again iuereasingthe pay—this time to SISOO ! They do these things, trusting to the fanaticism and blind ness ot a great portion of the people, who are sensible enough on every other subject, except politics, These legislators know well enough that all that is necessary, if objection is made to their acts, is to put forth several lusty yells of " Copperhead," "traitor," when the whole abolition party is sprung into'the traces, as one man, in support of the most outrageous and abom inable measures that may be purpetrated by "party." We trust the day is not far distant, when men will return to their bet ter judgment, and arrest the career of this mad fanaticism, for it will soon be too late. —AUentown Democrat. When once infidelity can pursuade men that they shall die like beasts, they will soon be brought to lire like beasts also. Our prayers and God's mercy are like two buckets in a well —while the one as cenJs the other descends. Wby is a restless sleeper like a lawyer ? Because be lies on one side, end tarns and lies on the other. GENERAL WAsmnoTOir RECEIVES A CURTAIN LECTURE.—A nice little story of General Washington, which will be fresh to many of our readers, and will em balm him in the memory of all good wives as a model husband : "The General—says the biographer— and his wife lived happily together, but it is evident that like most heiresses, she was a little exacting, and it is highly probable that the great Washington was sometimes favored with a curtain lecture. The cele brated authoress, MissCremer,relates that a gentleman once slept at Mount Vernon, in the room adjoining that occupied by the master and mistress of the mansion ; and when all was still lie overheard, thro' the thin partition, the voice of Mrs. Wash ington. He could uot but listen, and it was a curtain lecture which she was giv ing her lord. He had done something during the day which she thought ought to have been done differently, and she was giving her opinions in somewhat animated and quite decided tones. The great man listened in silence till she had done, and then, without remark upon the subject in hand, said : "Now good sleep to you my dear." It is plain that the General believed that "it takes two to quarrel." HAW the Exempted Class I.lve. Jay Cooke, who manipalated three thou sand millions of dollars of U. S. stock, ALL EXEMPTED FROM TAXATION, lives in a pa latial residence at Philadelphia, which is thus described by a lady : " I can't describe what it is like. I don't think grander,more beautiful,more splendid or more in keeping can be imagined. And the Cookes are just the kind of people to lire in it. L. is a perfect brunette, and her sister S., who is younger, is a blonde.— L'B. room is furnished in bright crimson satin, and S's. in light blue satin. Just beyond their rooms is still another bed room, and is intended for any friend whom they wish to invite to visit them. C. was occupying this room. Everything in the house with the exception of Mr. Coooke's buodoir and a few of the paintings, is American. Mr. Cooke would have noth ing else. In the sitting room is a large old-fashioned open fire-place, with andirons which Mr. Cooke's mother presented to him. There is every kind of room in the house that you could thimk of —biliiard rooms, amusement room, where they have a regular stage, foot lights, etc., music room, where they have an elegant square grand richly carved piano. I can't tell you of all the rooms, for it would take me all night, and even then you wouldn't have a clear idea of them. TIIE CAPTURE OF FORT BUFORD.—A letter from the wife of a distinguished ar my officer at St. Louis confirms the report of the capture of Fort Buford, at the mouth of the Yellow Stone, on the Upper Missou ri. Col. Rankin, his wife, a child, and the whole garrison were slaughtered—in all about eighty souls. It is due to the mem ory of Col. Rankin to state that he had represented for fully four months his ina bil.ty to resist a prolonged attack against the overwhelming force the Indians brought against him, and requested to be reinforc ed or drawn into a more defensible posi tion. Private letters say that he anticipa ted his fate, and made good his promise to his friends that he would defend his po sition to the last man. llis promise has been verified. Private letters state that ho repulsed with his small force the attack of frora two thousand to three thousand Indians, killing three hundred aud wound ing over one thousand before he was over whelmed. It is generally supposed that Col. Rankin shot his wife to prevent her falling into the hands of the Indians. No possible blame can be attached to Col. Ran kin's memory for the fall of the post, as he had had many years' experience in the In dian country, and was an officer of great coolness and direction. THE CARVED ROCK. —In Fayette coun ty, on the top of the high river hill oppo site Miilsboro, there is a large rock, per haps three feet thick and fifteen feet sur face, on which are carved the outlines of many kinds of wild animals, such as foxes, Ac. There are also two sets of footprints two large ones and two small ones. The foot-prints are as accurate and legible as a person could make by standing in stiff clay. The rock lies on the top of the ground and is the only one there. It is known throughout this section as "The Curved Rock " Who can give a reason able surmise ol how the rock was placed there, and who carved it ? Valley Spirit, ADVISE TO PDEACHERS. —B short and lively. Load up before you enter the sa cred desk,; announce your text, when the time comes, with distinctness, and dash right into discussion. Fire at point blank rage. Keep your eye on that drowsy hearer until he becomes wide awake.

Stir lip all the people. " Shake off dull sloth," in manner and tone. Be in earnest—tremendously in earnest! Time is passing; eternity is near; judgment is at the door! make an impression , if you can, inside of thirty minutes ; if not, ask God to give bis blessing and—close. "Married couples resemble a pair of shears," says Sidney Smith, "so joined that they cannot be separated, often moving in opposite directions, yet always punishing any one who comes between them." "No man is bom to office," says Lord Somers, "but every man is born to a vote." If an English Lord can say this, why not an American democrat ? A bypoerite may spin so fair a thread at to deceive his own eye. He may admire the cobweb, and not know that he himself is the spider. NEGRO JURORS.— Pennsylvania is ma king rapid progress along the road of fa naticism. A few more strides and she will stand alongside of Massachusetts, its equal in every respect, so far as Cuffee is concerned. But a few weeks since, the Legislature made it a criminal offence for railroad companies, or their employees, to attempt to keep negroes out of the cars set apart for ladies, or to request the "coming man" to take a seat even at one end of the ear. Now the Jury bill is before the House—a bill to provide for the election of two Jury Commissioners, one from each party, who, with the Sheriff of each county are to select the Jurors from the white portion of our population, was voted down by a strict party vote; every abolitionist voting against it. and in favor of making negro jurors.—Honesdale Herald.
