Work for the Xoxt White Congress. The next Conservative Congress of the United States will have much to do to undo what the Jacobins of the Hump have done. Among other matters they will have the following to attend to: 1. To elevate the poor white man of the country to a superiority over the nigger. 2. To elevate the Badicals to an n/unlity with the nigger. 15. To ourtail Mrs. Sambo's pin money, aud Mr. Sambo's traveling privileges under the Bureau. •I. To inaugurate a system of colonization of equality niggers and Radicals in one of the Eastern "asylums of the oppressed of all nations." 5. To stop the manufacture of greenbacks and untaxe.d Jtribe bonds of "loyalty," so-called. (J. To stop the' supply of white p'tigiir to lazy niggers in the South, while poor white men are unable to buy rusty brown. 7. To take some of the "loyal" conceit out of ranting Radical traitors by making them "fork over" a per cent, on their bribe-bonds. 8. In fact, to make this what it wasinteuded: "A white man's Government for white men and their posterity for-

But I loved milk maid, Miranda Jy: obgnoiiion. and she was the ijuiokest'iuilkest that ever sijuatted garter holders under the dripping eaves of a patient, bovine on a day of rain ami such. Sho was handsome: ITermother was a handsome lady and her father Tva.s a blessing in disguise tvithmein like an angel and _haiv coforcd like a New Jersey-bam.
Miranda livo^ in New England.' "Tier paternal pap engineered a country store, kept blooded gOose, sold potatoes by the pound, kept cheese-rinds for rat-trap"bait, blackened pins and sold them for fish hooks, furnished steam for a puritan prayer meeting—cultivated duck pond and taught, his nose to blush on apple brandy. Jle'd take the screws out of his mother's eoflin aud sell ihcm for money to put ou the church contribution plate, and lie never missed attending cifiumunioii in order to get a free lunch at the expense of—never mind who!
Hut Miranda won't like him. Sho milked the cows and strained the milk. I used to help her. \Yu were both boys —that is I wa,« a boy then. 1 was green but pure. Ditto Miran She was tall. She was long for this world. .She was fat as a tooth-pick. .She had a neck like a bottle of Wooster sauce. She was slim like the salary of a country minister, or the wardrobe of a couutry «wl
And dutn 1 sling love iu her lap? You bet. And didn't she sling milk into her little twelve rjuart tin pail while I u-ed to stand and hold the drooping back bone continuation of that bovine cow. .'est it soil the tinted cheek of mv milk maid Miranda? loved. IIow could we help it?— Her mother was opposed to the match. She thought Miranda wau't good enough for me. I had the poverty. It struck in before struck out. l'cing poor I was good, liencc the objection. So we courted syruptastingly, and met. in the barnyard the usual way. through the back gate. Every night vent'd and vidi'd the fair girl. Her mother used to catch us at it. She enticed Miranda into bed rooms and cellars, pantries aud closets, and there confined her before her time came for going out to milk.
compare our tales of loves, and Miranda's mother inflicted shower baths upon us the while. We attended funerals in order to have fun, but behold she was there aud our fun came not to pass. At times I rode the family horse past the windows at stated times when Miranda was to be there, and the voice of the milk maid's maternal was always gayin: "Let's see how fast you dare ride?" She locked up the barn door to keep us from entering therein. She locked up the parlor to keep us from sparking there. She stuck sticks over the kitchen door latch to keep us out from there. She locked Miranda up in the cellar to keep us from entering there. I said in my punv wrath, dog gone thai ancient female. I bad but one hand to love Miranda with--the other was needed to battle the second volume of Miranda's authorship with. My love sank. It lowered. It prostrated. I went to Canada. I remained in the embiacc of the Queen, as 'twere. After a time the old lady, after a delightful trip of nine weeks duration, arrived at the grave yard, thanks to a doctor, whose doctorin' I I ever reccoiumend in such cases.

Hendricks County—A Citizen of.Vno Mobbed in His Own House—The Sroumlrels Held at Hay bj Man and Woman. The radicals of Hendricks county seem to be up to, if not a little in advance of the spirit of their brethem in other localities. We have already published an account of the disgraceful attempt to break up a Johnson meeting in Danville, last Saturday, and the terrible riot which ensued. Wc have now to chronicle another outbreak of the same lawless spirit which occurred in the little town of Amo last Sunday night. This town, with one exception, is populated with radicals of the most violent and intolerant kiud. The single exception is Mr. Victor Trous- I sell, a Frenchman by birth! and a i|uiet, industrious and inoffensive citizen, but a National Union man. Beinr the »"'y I Uuluii niau in xtie place," it seems that the I destruetiouists of Amo had reason to fear that he might be appointed postmaster. Kind therefore have undertakcu to drive hitn from the town. On last Sunday night a mob of about one hundred lawless characters, headed, as wc understand, by an old man named nuJ .John farfcer, a clerk for the postmaster, assembled around Mr. Troussell's house, and con- I ducted themselves iu the most violent and threatening mauuer—groaning, yelling, hooting, throwing stones, and indulging in the filthiest and most obscene language Mr. Troussell, with a revolver, and his wife, with an axe, stood in the door and de- I tied the mob. one of whom called Mrs. I T. insulting names, and drew a revolver upon her. A little girl, about eight years of age, daughter of Mr. Troussell, was frightened into convulsions. The cowardly scoundrels made several attempts to enter the gate, but the determined conduct, of Mr. T. and his wife deterred them so that they finally left, making night hideous with their bowlings. Ou 31 onday nighta portion of the same gang returned, threw a volley of stones at the I house, and then ran away.
We do hope that the reasoning and less infatuated [Republicans of Hendrickscounty will frown upon these exhibitions of lawlessness for the sake of peace and decency. We do not want to see the questions now dividing parties submitted to the bloody arbitrenient the knife and pistol. We advise all Democrats to avoid giving just, cause of offense, and trust that the more temperate llepublicans will unite in restraining the riotous tendencies of restless spirits who scein anxious to inaugurate a condition of affairs iu which no man's life or poverty will be safe except in so far as he may be able to defend it.— Imliannpolis Jlerald.

happy. I shouted in unison with merry roosters and the vernal chickens, and sought her loved. Twelve years had gone and done it. But Miranda stuck it A. J. out. No one could look upon thftface of her ma and survive. 1 was the exception. Miranda's father had passed his checks. He grew tired of life, and after a fit of family happiness, took the poison the rats refused, and went joyfully from the arms of Miranda's ma- I ternal mother to death and its results, as 'twere.
The 'melodramatic spectacle of South Carolina and .Massachusetts walking into I the Philadelphia National Convention, side by side, has been overshadowed by that of Theodore Tilton and Frederick Douglass walking arm in arm. into the piebald convention, to the sound of slow music. There is an eternal fitness in the cast of Tilton for a leading part in this great sensational 'v/i/y/. lie, it will be remembered, is the gentleman who wrote and published an exhaustive treatise on the beauties of miscegenation, claiming that both the white and black race would be benefited thereby.
Although we are inclined to laugh at this disgraceful spectacle, yet it is no laughing matter. By the dispatch we learn that not only did the original miscegenationist march by the side of the Great Black Douglass, ou one of the hottest days of the year, snufling up as grateful incense the rank odor of the "man and brother." but that in the same delegation were "two other colored men."— We regard this demonstration as soineI thing than the disgusting farce it seems,
It is a sickeniug evidence of the degeneraey of the times, evincing a mournful decay of that pride of caste which should swell the bosom of every representative of the Caucasian.—Ind. Jlerald.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT ON TIIK WAIIASII VALLEy.—A freight train on the Valley. Road was completely wrecked yesterday afternoon. The regular train west was followed by two extras, the usual distance apart. Going down grade near Keller's a part of the regular train Was unoccupied, and was stopped. The extra following was flagged. This occupied some minutes, and before the .rear' extra could be flagged in turn, it eame dashing round the curve at full speed, and ran into the rear of the other extra with a fearful crash. The engine passed entirely through' the first eight cars splintering them to kindling wood. Four cars were completely wrecked. The engineer aud fireman'jumped for their lives. The firc» man was slightly injured, but the engineer escaped unharmed. The locomotive kept the track, but was completely dismantled, the smoke stack, bell, whistle, cab, side fixtures and ornaments were .stripped off. The collision was terrific.

THK colored rally last Saturday was a slim affair—about on a pai with the "grand reception," of .vhich we gave au account last week. Ortli and Samuel Galloway did the '-heavy parts," and right, heavily they were done. Old Galloway never did amount to much, but siuce he has had the ''rifles" woru out of his throat, he is less than nothing at all. His speech, or such of itas wc could hear was a conglomeration of radicalism, blood thirsty desires and falsehoods. Godlove put on one of his killing smiles, and proceed to demonstrate how patriotic Congress was and what a traitor Andy Johnwas how economical he was iu voting against an increase of pay and how anxious he was to have the neutrality laws repealed, so that the "Fenians could have a square fight witli John Bull." He forgot, though, to tell us why, if the inorease of salary was too great, he failed to return a portion of it to the conscience fund why the neutrality law was not repealed, and it completely slipped his memory to say a single word about liis whisky speculations. With the rccord Ortli has made iu Congress, a Democrat of any ability at all could undoubtedly defeat him.—Delphi Times.
The Presidential Tour.
As we predicted, the tour of President Johnson and party West, has been of tho eharnntor nf n.n mrntin» liis leaving Washington, up to the present, and will continue in the same manner until his return. No such welcome has ever been accorded to any man in this couutry. It is an honest, hearty, enthusiastic testimonial from the people to the 'Chief Magistrate of agreat nation. There is something heroically sublime in tlw pilgrillmjro oi' grout limn to the Comb of the illustrious dead—a cotcniporary who overshadowed all others but who was as magnanimous as ho was great. The reception of the President in the West will be as warm, as earnest and as universal as that of the East, and characteristic of the plain Western people, who hate ostentation, but make their greeting cordial and sincere. The tour has developed an unanimity in public seutiment that must be no less gratifying to the President than emphatic in its disapproval of radical measures, and the addresses of President
Johnson to the people are not made up of studied phrases and the liimol and gossamere oi' rhetoric, but plain, pointed and frank—words that come from the heart and go to the heart. His motives are pure and elevated, and the absence of display commands attention, while the sincerity of his utterances inspire confidence and faith in his fidelity as Chief Magistrate of the nation. The radical press treat the President with supcrcillious contempt, and the envious aud designing demagogues stigmatize his mission West in the holiest of all purposes, as an electioneering tour. It is gratifying to know that the press and men who arc now denouncing President Johnson, are of the same set that reviled the great, Douglas while living, aud have tried to deny to him siuce dead the place he occupies in the history of our country. In a few days the President will have arrived at the destination of his journey, and participated in the performance of the most solemn of all ceremonials. This act alone is sufficient for the people of the West, who honored the great Western statesman while living, and cherish and revere his memory now that he is dead—to hold President Johnson in high esteem and endear him for all time for tho part, he takes in the laying of the corner stone.—
