Hon. I'uutdeiis Stevens:
Pkau Siu: You arc rcportt'd in
the New. York Tribune an J:iviu;j re
cently said on tho Jloor of Congress:
"It a now helil by ono of tho most
liberal and enlightened gentlemen in
tho country (I mean (Jerritt Smith)
that wo should even pay a portion of
the rebel debt."
Of course you do not mean that this
is literally so. My often repeated
proposition is that Government lend
or give moneyn to tho South to help
her upward from tho depths of her
poverty and deaolatiou. Hy what
logic you were able to construct from
the letter of thi proposition your lig
uro of speech U for you, not me, to ex
plain, i am truly Korry that it ia in
your heart to hold up to ridieulo my
reasonable proposition.. You. are too
old and too intellectual to. be making
such concession to passion ami preju
dice. There ace two reason why the
North should be glad to-, help the
South. First, the South in poor very
poor, and the North is rich very rich.
Second, tho North is largely respon.-i-ble
for the poverty of the South. Our
father united with the father of the
South Lu making thi a land of slaves;
and in our own. day the North has
gone with the South in upholding and
extending tdavery. Until the break
ing out of this war every Congress
was lot slavery. The repeal of the
Missouri Compromise was the work
of the North a well a the South.
So, too, wa the enactment of that in
fernal Fugitive Slave ac t, which even
the good Abraluim Lincoln w:w com
pelled, by the pro-slavery sentiment
of the North a well a the South, to
enforce mi rigorously. With compar
atively few exceptions, our northern
colleges, theological fcminarics, ;md
political and religion parties, were
on the sMe of slavery. The commerce
of the North was emplutttcally in the
interest of slavery.
In the lij;ht of Mich fact it imrelv
cannot be denied that the North made
herself largely responsible for Ameri
can slavery, lint the war came of
slavery l and the poverty and desola
tion of the South came of the war;
and hence, to the same degree that the!
.Norm was responunie lor Ma very is
she responsible f.r the war and for its
ruinous result to the South.
You call my sympathy wjth the
South and my dc-ire to have the
North help her, 'Viekly humanity."
I call it simple honesty. If my neigh
bor and I joitv i f l getting each other
drunk, and he in his frenzy goes to
tearing down my house, and I in self
defense demolish hi-, I am not to dis
own hi claim upon my sympathy. I
am to lVil that honesty requires me to
help htm rebuihl.
Would to Ood that Congress were no
just and wise as, at thi very session,
to lend fifty million of dollar to the
Confederate State to each of them
so much of it a would be proportion
ate to her population and to what she
has suffered from the ravage of the
war I The jdrare f illing to each State
to be distributed throughout her terri
tory in loan upon adequate security.
This, bv proving the love and pity of
the .Norm lor ner, v.-ouiii winmeneart
of the South, and would thus produce
a true and lasting peace between them.
And then it would be worth to the na
tion, if only in a financial point of
view, many times fifty million of dol
lar. (.Sold would no longer 'War
among it a premium of forty per
cent., and our Government would no
longer have to pay" haven per cent.,
nor much more than half seven per
cent, interest on its, loans.
Yery respectfully, your,
'(Ieuiutt Smith.
A New Coxjunoit. There i a new
conjuror in Pari, whose feats excel even
those of tho Japanese Oalitjuuni nays:
A most astounding Chineso conjuror
Ling Loop, is to bo seen at the Ilippro
drome, or tho Chineso Theatre, at the Ex
hibition. He swallows a sword long as
"Lo sabre, le sabre, le sabre5 do uaon
pere' or a tho famed weapon which Al
fred bids the knight cast info the shining
levels ot the Mcer. What become of
hi epiglottis? Is hi jugular vein made
of it triplex, or the coat of his stomach
of caoutchouc? His must indeed be iltira
ilia, since they take thus quietly their con
vcrsi.n with a sword-shcath. Next he
swallows eggs after the sword an egg is
a mere trifle. Tho shell, you will say
well, they might incommode us, but after
the sword ha been rammed down into his
intestines by a 30-pound shot, he does uot
stick at trilles. Ho smoke a cigarette,
performs a variety of antics, and then, sure
a eggs arc eggs, he proves Buflbn to bo
wrong, that man i oviparous, by bringing
them forth unbroken from some out-of-the-way
corner in his inside. Themi-au
and doctors adnfit that they aro mystified.
They have held their inquest on Ling
Loop, and can Hod no scientific solution
of tho problem, and they broke up their
conclave by subscribing to the very gen
eral opinion that ho is the most astonish
ing of all possible conjurors.
Paris has gone mad on tho subject
of low-necked dresses. They are get
ting more and more decollete, and the
leaders of ton are appearing without
any bodice at all, merely using a band
like that worn by infants, which has
the advantage OX covering up nothing
in front, and being utterly regardless
of everything behind. ' It requires
tact, however, to keep it on. One
lady, with . no sleeves, at a ball in
Paris, and only a narrow gold cord,
in the excitement of the dance broke
the cord, and everything came down
by the run. Are we coming to this?
Truth should never be 'bought dear
nor sold cheap. ' -

A few days ogo tho announcement of"
tho arrivnl of Biighatn Young, .Ir., tho
president of tho Mormon church, and

Mo arrived hero iu tho steamship Scotia,
from England, having concluded a tour
in Kuropev
It was soon rumored that tho suito con
sisted of that gentleman' train of wives,
and tho St. Nicholas hotel, whero thej?
wero stopping, wa the cynomro of nil tho
eyes that tho fair promenades of Broad
way could bring to bear on it. Tho gen
eral opinion of tho ''dear creature" was
wonder as to how tho many Madame
Young could bear their pitiable existence
mingled with tho belief that tho windows
wero barred to prevent their escaping.
Hut while thi waa tho cafto with tho ma
jority, tho minority, whioh i sometime
in tho rijht, knaw that no ladic could be
retained forcibly in a house of tlio promi

A few of these, and they wero among the
moit distinguiibed in th eity, called at
tho hotel, and rent up their card to " the
Indie of thesuito of IJrigham Young, Jr."
Only one lady wu nt home, and ho had

Mr. Youti'j, who i a flight, graceful,
ladylike matron of about thirty, said, with
an uncon.iou naitrttr, that h feared

After a while 31 r. Young entered and
wa introduced to tho ladies by hi wife,
notwithstanding that ho might take a fan
cy to ono or all of them and induce them
to share tho luxury of hi household. The
conversation now became general. Other
gentlemen arrived with their report of
purchase in the fine grocery and dry good
line, together with description of piano,
carriage and sewing machine they had
purchased to be shipped to their wive in
Utah.
A charming littlo tea was served up in
one of the private parlors; and as those
healthy, handsome, wealthy, honest-looking
" saint " passed buttered toast to their
lady guest and talked badinage, they
thought it would not bo so bad, consider
ing that entire husbands are so very hard
to get, to take a share in some woman's
or women's husband, especially when
the perfect immunity is guaranteed against
destruction of hair, ears and "mako up"
generally.

Mr. Greeley's farm, through the columns
of tho Portland Press. He says :
"Several years ago tho philosopher of
Printing House Squaro bought a swamp.
He went to work ou scientific principles

loomed up out of tho damp waste, cut

PorE Pius IX is a strong man physic
ally, if not spiritually. According to the
New York Herald's special cable telegram,
he complacently "lifted tho silver model
of the Henrietta from tho case with its
cargo of 50,000 gold dollars." It was a
magnificent present, but its total weight,
at tho least calculation, must have been
700 pounds.

The New York Tribune has an ab
stract of tho muster roll of tho rebel ar
my. Thi document ha every appear
once of authenticity, and show in the
first place that tho rebel armies were
much smaller than imaginative Generals
and excited civilian were, during tho
war, in tho habit of believing. The Ar
my of Northern Virginia, commanded by
Lee, numbered about 100,000 men when
ho took it iii hand. This wa iu Jane,
IHQ2. In duly, after tho seven day
battle before Jiichmoud, those present for
duty numbered 0D,.0o0. After Antictam,
Leo's army was reduced to o2,07 pres
ent for duty. When the invasion of
Pennsylvania took placo tho rebel army
was junt about 100,000 effective. AfU-r
Gettysburg, those present for duty were
reduced to 4 1,1 "5. Thi shows a ioss of
fJ.OOO men in six weeks, about -10,000
having been killed, wounded ami taken
prisoners, tho rest strangling or deserting.
In November, 1BI1, Leo had present fur
duty while hi nominal army was
181,820. Our Committto on tho Con
duct of tho War, who were in tho habit
of expecting General to operate with ar
mies a largo a the muster-roll showed,
both present and absent, might learn
something from thee figure.
In December, 1802, while at Murfrees
boro', and before the battle, tirupz had
ol,0:J0 effectives. After the battle he
had HOJSl. Iu April, Hragg had
;V2,000; iu .September, 11,070. Joe
Johnston's army in December, 1803, wa
J2,4i;'J present fur duty; in June,
oI,0K"). Hood had, t. commence with,
H.lO.i. Longttrcct had, in Kafct Ten
ncec, in February, ISO I, 10.010 pres
ent fur duty. 'The summary of thi inter
esting report U a fallow :
'The Confederate army undoubtedly
reaencu us iugnx pj;nt, nin in num
ber and efficiency, in thy early summer
of 18Go, when ti e movement into Penn
sylvania wa commenced. At tho close
of March, before till preparations had been
nude, tint-return ehow a nominal force
of IS $,000, of whom .'Ml.OOO were pres
ent, and 2S 1.000 present for tluty. Prob
ably about 20.00a were added 'during the
next six tieek to tho Army of tho Kat;
that wo may nafely say that at the mid
dles of June there were a little more than
oOO,O0O ou the muster rolls, of whom
:OO,00O were present for duty. The ar
my, especially that under Lee, were iu
tho highcat tat of eiTsc!ncy. Tho re
cent victoricsat Fro lericlvburgand Chan
cellorsvillo had inspired them with perfect
conS dcrtee in their own invincibility. The
Confederacy wa at that times like an ath
lete m tho highest condition of training.
Fully one-half of the mcu of military age
were enrolled ia the army. If wo take
into account those exempt by infirmity,
thoso employed in tho various civil department-,
and those detailed directly to
perform labor in the varioui military work
hop, it is hardly an overstatement to
say that every able-bodied man wa en
rolled ; of these, seven out often were
actually present, and six out often were
" present fr duty." No people could
long sustain such a strain. In tho first
week of July they suffered losses amount- j
mg to fully 100.000 mcu. At the end of
the month f-co had only 41,000 for duty
out of tho 100,000 with which ho had set
out six week before ; and iu a month by
every exertion he could get together only
15,000 more, and out of this V.G.000 all
told, he wa forced to send .15,000 of his
best troops to tho West. If the autumn
campaign of 1S0.J, iu Virgiuia, had been
prosecuted by the tmon commander witli
anything approaching vigor, there is no
reason to doubt that it would have closed
the war; for Mcadc had an army fully
double that of Lee. When, in tho spring
of lbi, Graut opened his campaign, Lcc
had only a little more than 50,000, and in
August, when the seigo of Richmond was
fairly opened, ho had, counting in those
present with him though still nominally
belonging to tho Department of North
Carolina, less than 00,000. From this
time tho return show how prevalent be
came desertion from tho Confederate ar
mies at tho East and West. In August,
out ot a nominal force of 550,000, there
were not 200,000 present for duty iu all
tho armies. At tho closo of February,
the date of tho latest report in our posses
sion, Lcc, out of a nominal force of 1G0,
000, had present but 73,000, aud for du
ty but 50,000. More thau half were ab
sent wholly, and a little more than a third
wero present for duty. When ho finally
abandoned Petersburg and Richmond,'-it
is doubtful whether ho had 35,000 men
all told. We judge that in all, G00,000
different men wero in tho Confederate
ranks during the war. Of the?o we do
not belicvo one-half aro alive tUia day.
Once in the ranks there was no escape
oxcept by death, disablement from wounds
or sickness, or desertion. Of tho 300,
000 of the Confederate soldiers yet alive,
no man can say what proportion are whol
ly or in great part disabled by wound or
disease ; but it is safe to say that in three
years the South lost by tho war alone ful
ly one-third of its able-bodied whito male
population." '
Give the Printers Fair Play.
We have a piece of advice which we wish
to impress firmly and indelibly upon the
public mind, and that is, to givo 'the prin
ters fair play. Do not forget that it costs
something to puff as well a3 to advertise,
and never spougo upon a printer in any
way whatever. It is tho printer's ink
that makes nino-tenths of our fortunes j
it takes money to buy ink, -typo and pa
per, and yet, after this, few are the thanks
the printer gets. Give tho printer fair
play, and give up all hopes of gratuitous
puffing, etc. Daniel Webster was "mighty
near right'' when he remarked of the
press, "Small is the sum required to pat
ronize a newspaper; amply rewarded is
its patron. I care not how humble and
unpretending tho gazette which ho takes,
it is next to impossible to fill it without
putting into it something that is worth
tho subscription price,"

A ludicrous scene occurred within a
thousand mile of Louisville one night
last week j wc suppress names. Two young
ladies wero visiting another young lady,
their cousin. The thres wero fond of
jokes, and continually played them off on
each other. On tho night In question,
two of them attended a party, from which
they returned at half-past twelve o'clock.
The third one remained nt home, and to
avoid disturbing her for the three slept
iu tho same bed and others io the house,
they entered through the window. Here
a difficulty occurred, caused by the fact,
that after they left home, a young Metho
dist minister arrived, on a visit. Ho was
given the room occupied by the young la
dies, and the one who had remained at
home sat up to inform the others that dif
ferent apartment had been assigned to
them. he waited in the parlor for that
purpose, but unluckily fell asleep; and as
tho two young ladies did not come in by
tho door, but stepped into their own room
by the window, she slept on. When the
two other entered, they saw Fanny's fig
uro, a they supposed, in bed, but were
puzzled also to sec by the bedside a. pair
ot boot. 1 lie truth flashed upon, them
both at once. They saw it all. Fanny
had set tho boots in the room to give them
a good scare. They put their heads to
gether and determined to turn tho table
on her. .Silently they disrobed, and as
stealthily as cat they took their positions
ou each side of the bed. At a given sig
nal they both jumped into bed, one on
each side of the unconscious parson, laugh
ing and screaming. u Oh, what a man !
Ob, what a man 1" they gave the poor be
wildered miruFter such a promiscuous hug
ging and tousling as few persons ape able
to brag of in tho course of a life time. The
noise of this proceeding awoko the old la
day, who was sleeping in tho sdjginiog
room. She comprehended the situation
in a moment, and rushing to tho room,
she opened tho door and exclaims: ' My
God, gn!.?, it is a man, it is a man sure
enough I" There was one prolonged,
consolidated scream; a flash of muslin
through the door, and jj.II was over. The
bout of tho joke i that the minister took
the whole thing in earnest. He would
listen to no apologies the old lady could
make ftr the girl. He would hear no
excuse, but ho solemnly folded hi cleri
cal role around him and silently stole
away. Was ho mad at the girls, or at
the old woman? Louisville Courier.
1'olHlenl Inequalities.
The following, says the Cincinnati En
quirer, are soaie enormous iaequalities of
our political system, and it practical
working in administration :
Thus, New York, 'Pennsylvania and
Ohio have ten million of people and six
United States Senators.
The six New England States have
three millions of people and twelve Uni
ted States Senators.
Three thousand million of dollar's
worth o'propt rty invested in agricultural,
commercial or manufacturing industry is
taxed sixty millions of dollars for State
and local purposes.
Three thousand millions of dollars in
vested in Government bonds is exempted
from the payment of the sixty millions of
dollars, and is not charged one cent.
Twenty-five hundred thousand Rcpub
bean voters North and South have a hun
dred and eighty or ninety members of
Congress. ,
Thirty-five hundred thousand Demo
cratic aud conservative voters North and
South have now about fifty members in
tho Congress of the united States.
As the Radical are engaged in the
work of remedying what they call politi
cal inequalities, wo throw these out for
their consideration. ,
Obscenity of Pompeii. Thero is one
matter in relation to Pompeii that is sel
dom touched ou by writers, and which I
dare not touch too closely, to wit : the ho?
rible depravity of the Pouipeians, as illus
trated by the frescoes, cioiaics, sculptures
and bronze statues that arc found. Hun
dreds of thoso vilo objects hive been car
ried away to the museum at Naples, and
put into a room which no women is allow
ed to visit ; but there are still houses m
Pompeii that are kept locked, and others
that have such sculptures over the doore
on tho outside so that a guide may hurry
past them when thero aro ladies in the
party. Even in private houses there are
scores of frescoes magnificently executed
too which one would daro to visit only in
company with his nearest and dearest
ineuas, u lauies, aua in oiuer nouses pie
turcs and statues than which none can ini
agino anything worse. I cannot under
stand why tho writers oil these matters
havo been so anxious to conceal tho faults
of tho ancients. It is a fact that deserves
to be generally known. Great God ! what
a picture of corruption in imperial Rome
is revealed to one who looks into Pompeii
.with anything liko thoroughness. The
very stones' of tho door-post tell a - tale
more damnable than ever was invented
by modern thought., Sodom, was clean
and Gomorrah was pure, compared with
Pompeii. Where was ever a people on
earth, before or since Pompeii that "ad
vertisod tho way that led down to hell"
by sculptures placed in tho open light of
tho street? "Out, damned spot!" cried
tho still infant geuius of modern civiliza
tion and Christianity, as it looked in up
on Pompeii, and Vesuvius responded to
the command, and sent his consuming
fires to do the work. JFVont a lata Let
