BUTLER'S SOLILOQUY, BY "A FItlEXD." 'I love to steal awhile awaj" Mrs. Bnowx. Hove to steal those spoons away From other people's care; And at the hour of closing day, Forgiveness seek in pray'r (?). I know in solitude I'll shed The Penitentiary tear, And lick the hand that gives me bread, While not a friend is near. I dread io tiiink of actions past No good for nie's in store I all my thieving sorrows cast Around the Prison door. I love by stealth to take a view Of bl ighter scenes in Heaven; The prospect doth my fears renew, While here to steal I'm riven. Oli ! when life's tortures all are o'er, Shall I desponding say : Spirit, be culm! I'll steal no more ! 1 dread this fearful day. Had I but known that death's pontoons Would sink beneath my weight, My hands should ne'er have touched those spoons, But now it is too late. THE PUBLIC DEBT. Its Creation ly Acts of Congress. ITS MANAGEMENT. Its ITiiial Paymont, To the Editors of the Cincinnati Enquirer: I now address myself directly to the people, and ask theni if they feel any interest in this question ? Whether they feel any iutercst in respect to the payment or the non-payment of the great Federal debt that now presses upon every foot of land, and every dollar of jropeity they have ? A mighty mortgage on every tract of land he owns. A perpetual tax producing burden that makes him pay double and treble price for every pound of coffee, every pound of sugar, every yard of cloth, every dollar's worth of merchandise that he or h;s family, or Iiis hired bauds, may consume, or wear, or use. J'eopb of the United States, tlo you feel an interest in ths question ? If you do not, isay to you in all kindness, and with all respect, that it is time for you to wake up and realize the i'act that every sixteen years that you arc a.leep on this subject, and occupying the unenviable position of the ucthcr millstone, you pay in interest aloLC on your debt an amount equal to the whole debt without reducing the debt oue dollar. It wi!! be easy, Messrs. Editors, to car ry into effect a measure so beneficial in its results as ths extinguishment of our great Federal debt, provided wc have the voicet to do so ! Thccojfc must give the power ! None other than the people can give it! The people ar the sovereigns : whatever the aristocrats in Congress, and out of Congress may say to the contrary ; and whenever they stf, and feel, and know the effect of its great debt upon their welfare, they will rise up as one mart and demand of their Iteprescntatives ia Congress, and the Executive branch of the Government, the adoptijn and execution of those plain, sensible, judicious measures, necessary to produce the desired result: 1 he patmr.nt in full of all the public dcbtl Wc must, however, he always prepared to rucet the continued or. position and hos tility of every aristocrat who now wields the power of a despotism iu both branches ot the Congress. Wc must expect the perpetuity of that opposition ana hostility j and as in the days when tho attempt was so persistently made by their pol tical ancestors to rccharter and perpetuate the political power of a United States bank, we must watch them I confront them I defy them I The great power of that opposition which we must meet and overcome will consist in misrepresentation ; and as our opponents now, as they had at the time re Icrreu to, have in possesion .a very great majority ot tho public press, wc have to meet them, as wo met their political an ccstors, under tho pressure of numbers as well as of wealth and moneyed influence; but we will now, as we did then, show by our steps, and justico ol our cause, that we are contracting only for the real inter cct, and prosperity, and honor of our coun try. Whenever the timo arrives for action: whenever the people give the power, then, doubtless, various method will be suggest cd by which the debt should be cxtin guished. And as you, Messrs. Editors, contend in your remarks frequently made . . . ..a a t 1 II upon the subject, that plan wuicn win exterminate the debt in the shortest period of time will be ths best. And we will here undertake to cuaran tee to the people, that the first Democratic

Congress, at its first session, will order the Secretary of the Treasury to prepare and tender our lawful niouev, in paTmcnt

of every dollar cf our interest bearing debt of every kind and description, with notice to creditors, that all interest will cease on a given day, and as every good citizen every patriot, is anxious to consummate this great measure in tne shortest period of time, with justice to all, and without in justice to any one, we will take thisopportunity to present the following view : 1. e should havö all the country, and all the chanuels of trade for the exclusive circulation of our own legal-tender notes, until the whole of the debt is paid, and until these legal-tenders arc so issued in aaiount, that other circulation, say National bank notes, and coin, should come into their place to keep up a full supply. 2. The necessity lor a continually ticteasinj amount of the circulating medium of our country presents itself concurrently with the increase of our population, improvements, trade.intcrcourse, productions of all the States, as well as of all the great Territories opening fof settlement, and even now mafchiog ttith giant strides to their near future of great States of the union. And whenever the great produ cing States of the South shall again be tranquilized and freed from foreign interference ; with their social and business rights in full enjoytnent: with all their iu dustrial powers applied to their rich productions : tticn a further and greater increase of the circulating medium icill be demanded. 3. We may now estimate the amount of paper circulation to be about seven hun dred and fifty millions; three hundred millions cf National bank, and four hundred and fifty millions of legal-tender treasury Dotes. 4. Suppose we retire these notes of the National banks during the time, and issue five hundred millions per year, for the uext-fivc years, of legal-tenders, to be applied only to the paj'ment of the interestbearing debt, which it would fully pay; and during the same period the Treasury shall redeem, by means of present taxes, the sum of three hundred millions per year of these notes, which we have no doubt can be done, besides paying all the current expenses of the Government, if the Congress will act with any deference to tbe principles of common honcsfy. 5. Uy adopting such a plau wc are sure to avoid any convulsion, and perhaps meet the views ol the more timid and cautious. and consummate the end without any in jurious effect on the agriculture, the com mercial, the manufacturing, or the labor interest of our country, aud without auy depreciation of value in the current money to any injurious extent ; for if the Con gress should fail to take up as much as three hundred millions per year, yet the increased amount of legal-tenders (with the National bank notes withdrawn) will all be icantcJ to supply the increasing de mands referrtd to j or, G. 1 hat the Cougress order the Secre tary to prepare and tender immcdialtly, to all holders of the iutercst bearing debt, as well as of all other liquidated debt of every kind, except the legal-tenders, with notice that all iutercst will cease ou a given day: and that on that day the creditor can re ceive the total amount of the principal, as well as all accrued interest on his bonds. This, Messrs. Editors, I tace to be your preposition ! and it is recommended to our mind as plain, bold, definite, and carries with it the high consideration of sweeping, at the earliest moment, from tho face of our country, that "swarm of officers who arc eatmg up our substance; that innumerable horde that fatten upon the toil and hard earned means of our entire community ; and at once annihilating a great bouded debty destructive of our welfare, destructive of republican goccrmuit, unjust in Tempting the holder from any jjart of the ixpinsc of the Govi rnmait. 7. As wc have already observed, there will be an imperative demand for a greatly increased circulating medium, for the use of the vast regions of our Western Terriritoiies, and also for the use of our Southern States, which will absorb the iucrcase of legal-tenders that shall be thus issued and paid out by the Treasury Department, and put into circulation by the holder; for wc must bear in mind that this payment is not like tho paymcut of current army expenses, when every dollar goes iuto direct circulation ; but the paymcut is only made to the bondholder, the capitalist, who will understand his interest too well to part with his lcal-tcndcrs in such a way as to lessen his wealth. He will not force them into circulation lie will especially avoid any act of this kind but will hold them uutil the business of his locality shall call for them, at a full value. Therefore, Messrs. Editors, wc have really nothing to fear, nothing to apprehend, that can in any way be injurious to any part of our country, any portion of our people, by the adoption and carrying into immediate execution ofyour patriot!?, just, equitable, honorable recommendation for the final naymcut oFtho public debt. CITIZEN. Military Usurpations. The National Iutclligcncer says : Let it beborno constantly ia uiind that, under the government of the Constitution, there can be no legal military Governors of the people of this country. lie is a rebel or usurper who undertakes to enforce military law on citizens within the limits of the United States, no matter on what pretext or by whose command. Congress can no more coufer despotic power on individuals thaa individuals can confer it on Congress, What is not done in subordination to our free system ol laws is void, and of no legal force whatever. That system U marked by the exclusion of all power which is not consistent with itself; nor would it be less so without any Constitution at all. It is a great principle it looks to the' freedom of the people, and it ia, in tho nature of things, a solemn declaration that they shall bo governed, and, if governed, protected by laws in favor of tho willand command ot one man, here or there, shall be permitted in this country. The new fifteen cent note has a singular adaptation to the price of "straight drinks."

The Presidency -Chase, Grant and Wade. The radical papers are discussing the question of the next nomiuation for the Presidency, and canvassing the merits of their rcprcse'jtatirc men freely. Thre is aot a doubt bet that the Anti-Slavery Standard speaks the sentiments of niuc tenths of the radicals, in the subjoined ex tract; especially docs it do so iu the case of Grant. It says : Mr. Chase's mania for the Presidential office is a melancholy exhibition of Which we have had many painlul examples among our public aen. Notwithstanding the activity of his friends, and the wealth of the bank interests pledged to his support, we tell him plainly that he has not the ghost of a chance, lie has no popular strength whatever. The mention of Iiis name makes not a siugle ripple of feeliug or enthusiasm in any quarter. Why will he uot save himself from inevitable mortification and disgrace by refusing longer to draggle the robes of his high office iu the mire of caucuses and conventions? The Graut iactiou, led by Henry WiIson, is just now in the asccudaut, and they confidently expect to dragoon the radical llerublicans iuto h:s support by the old cry of expediency, and the permanent im portance of success. These are the same tactics that saddled us with Andrew Johnson ; and we give these gentlemen fair warning that we shall fight that nomination to the last extremity. The cause of liberty in this country is not to be sold out twice on the same plan without a determined struggle. The Republican party has a few statesmen, any oue of whom, ou a radical platform, would be unobjectionable, and would receive our hearty support. Prominent among these is Old 15en. Wade. We arc not, however, wedded to the interests of any candidate, but the attempt to crowd down our throats a man of doubtful fjencralahip and unknown principles will be resisted with every weapon that wc can command. Ablircviatcd Felicity From the DeWitt (Iowa) Obdcrvch It is a fact not generally known, perhaps, but it is said to ha a fact, nevertheless, that there is a sort of "enterprise" carried ou by a set of bawdy characters in Chicago, the ostensible object of which is to make fortunes and furnish men and women with life partners. This branch of business is carried on uuder the suggestive title of 'Love Bureau," and by compliance with directions and advancing the requisite sum

ot money, a mau may soon be enshrined in the affections of a blushing bride, aud have a loviug one to lessen his cares, aud share his sorrow through life, or at least, the bureau will promptly furnish the other half, aud that thould secure to him all the rest. Well, a geutleman of our town became acquainted with this labor-saving and timesjiortcniug process of sccuriug a helpmate aud being thus minded, he forthwith for Warded 50, had his fortuuc told, was informed that at a particular time he was providentially to meet iu the city of Chicago, at a stated place, a woman bearing the description theu giveu, and we believe a picture of the would-be bride was also scat. Upon the approach of the time designated, the buoyant gent drjppcd his tools lor he is an honest, industrious stonemason and plasterer of our town and went hither to the predestiucd meeting of his prospective frau. Arriving at the place named, he found the woman answering the descriptiou in every particular, and but a short time elapsed before all preliminaries were arranged aud they were wrapped in the silkeu cords of love, aud spliced in hymcuial pledges. The two being made one, came together to DeWitt, arriving on last Monday night's train, aud all went ou swimmingly and in good style for a time, but when Friday uight came, there came with it a sense of loneliness to poor Hans; but supposing his wife was being legitimately detained from his side, he retired to his virtuous but lonely couch and only learned in the morning the true reason of her absence. She had taken the evening traiu and gone back to Chicago, probably having an engagement for another spouse about that time, taking a large number of things she had received at the hands of her husband, and greatly improved in her dress. Weis took his sorrows in a truly heroic and philosophic manner, smoked his pipe and kept about his busi ness and hopes to be able to contiuuc at it. We call that abbreviated felicity. lie doesn't want any more fortuuc tellers' Ira us. Who does '! Saturday Niüiit. How many a kiss has been giveu how many a curse how many a caress how many a look of hate how many a kind word how many a promise has becu broken how many a heart has been wrecked how many a soul lost how many a loved one lowered into the narrow chamberhow many a babe has gone from earth to heaven how many a little crib or cradle stands silent now, which last Saturday niht held tho rarest of all the treasures of the heart. A week is a life. A week is a history. A week marks events of sorrow or gladncss which people never heard. Go home to your family, niau of business! Go home, you heart crriug wanderer! Go home to the cheer that awaits you, wronged Maif Oil life's breakers! Go home to thoso you love, man of toil, aud give one night to the joys and comforts fast flying by ! Leave your books with complex figures your dirty shop your busy store ! Rest with those you love; fur God only knows what tho next Saturday night will bring you ; forget the world of care and the battles with life which have furrowed the week ! Draw close around the family hearth ! Saturday night has awaited your coming in sadness, in tcar3 and silence. Go home to those you love and as you bask in tho loved presence, and meet to return the leved embrace of your heart's pets, ßtrive to be a better man, and bless God forgiving his weary children so dear a stepping stone in the river to the Eternal as Saturday night.

The Issue; The New York Express thus clearly and succinctly puts forth the issue before the couniry : There has been and there yet is nn intimation in one of the city Democratic journals that negro suffrage is an open issue with Democrats, aud thnt a man can be a De nocrat and vcte to degrade the white laborer of the North to the race and vast degradation of the negro. There never was a greater mistake for the greatest of all issues between Democrats and the Republican oligarchy is that of segro suf1 frage. It is about the only issue, aüd about everything elso dwindles into insig

nificance when compared with it. The oligarchs aud monopolists of the North the men who for three hundred per cent, tariff bounties, arc reconstructing the South, so as to use the negro vote there, to force the consumers of the North to keep up their tariff bouutics. Hence the five monarchies, and all the tyrauuies connected therewith. The Democrats of the North and West arc dead against all this and united ou it too. The question, here at home, is, as on our ottn soil, when confined to our own State, ol but little practical importance to us, right here but of the greatest practical importance elsewhere, aud of the greatest theoretical importance everywhere. The Democratic theory and principle is, that this is a Democratic government of white men, made by white men, and exclusively for white men. Hence we have very carefully excluded the Inuiau from suffrage, uay we have extirpated him, and universal suffrage for the negro was an idea coUtcd by the fathers of the Republic, who in the Federal Convention, compacted, not only to deliver him up as a slave, but to have him represented as a slave. Our fathers made no provisions for taking into their copartnership government, the Chcrokccs, Creeks, Iroquois or Scnecas tribes powerful in their day, while they created a government exclusively for white men. They never intended to sdiarc their co-partnership with those Indians any more than rrith the Chiuese or Japanese, our own Pa cific ocean neighbors. The laud was dsdc open and free for Anglo-Saxon, Teuton, Celt and for all Latin races in short, for the Caucassian, never for the African, Mongolian or Esquimaux tribes of men, who W3 are now embracing iu masses in our just acquired Russian possessions. The reason that this government of white men should be kept fur white men, is that the white man alone is capable of self-government. No other races have ever maintained such a government or ever can. The white man is the superior man, the dominant man over the African, the Mongolian, the Esquimaux or other species of men, and was designed and destined by God to be. All attempts of our race to share government and our society with the iuferior races of men, in Hayti, Jamaica, or Spauish America, here ia America, or in Asia or North Africa, have been destructive of both races. Amalgamation is death, both to white men, negro men or Mongolian men. Equality and fratornity with these lower races 13 against the will of God, and God punishes by the destruction of both races all these violations oi His holy will. The Villainy Avowed. The Springfield, Massachusetts, Republican, a radical Sumucr-Wilson journal, says : "Discussion of principles in connection with Southern reconstruction is now of little account. We are trying a bold experiment, outside of constitutional prescriptions, and accredited theories of government, which success alone must justly; but congressmen very naturally disagree widely as to what that theory shall be." The confession is at least frank and honest. The "experiment" which Congress is trying is not at all a new one. Cromwell tried itin Ireland, aud the Archduke Constantino in Poland. It is an experiment as old as despotism itself. It is the establishment of the old system of government over ten States, as that which Turkey has maintained for centuries over its Pachaliks. Rome governed Sicily in the same way. Hastings established a like system in Iudia; and his success did not justify his oppressions. If the devil were to dethrone the Deity, no doubt he would institute the Fame system of government over the whole universe. Exchange, Gral-lag Experiments. The New York Tribune calls the move in its own party for General Grant as the next President, as a grab-bag experiment. TI12 Tribune has been hurt in the pat, and, like a burnt child, dreads the fire. It srijs : 'The people are not in the mood for trying any grab-bag experiments. They will insist on having a President wh.3 fully knows his own mind with regard to the political situation, and who has not essentially another mind from theirs. They have once or twice taken candidates ou trust, and have not been encouraged to repeat the venture. And, when they stc that General Grant's name is the shibboleth of a number of the most discredited of the camp followers and shoddy-patriots of tho late war, they will be more strenuous in their demands for light than if the General were not cursed by such backers." Mottos. A vain man's motto is, "Win gold and wear it;" a generous man s, Win irold aud share it;" a miser's, "Win gold and spare it ;" a profligate's, "Win gold and spend it;" "a broker's, "Win gold and leud it ; a gamblers,' Win gold and lose it;" a wise man's, "Win gold and make good use of it'" "How old are you 1" said a magistrate to a citizen who was arraigned before him. "I am dirty." "And how old is your wife ?" "She is dirty-tico.u "Then, sir. you are a very filthy couple, and I wish to have nothing further to do with cither of you J "Doctor," said a despairing patient to his physician. tkl can neither lay nor set; what, shall I do?" "Why then," replied tho doctor, very gravely, "I think you had better rooat."

Ful sc Rosoms. Kfom tbe New York Tlmci. On last Saturday afternoon a very fin9 looking lady, youug and ttell dressed, called on justice Dodge, of the Jefferson Market pclice court, and in a most blaad end smiliug manner stated that she had beert defrauded ii? a sicgnlar manner by a fashionable dressnifikcr on Sixth avenue, between Eleventh and Twelfth streets, nam

ed Madame Latour. Miss Flora Sinclair, the lady in quee tion, is inclined to be fashionable in every respect. Latge and full-brcastcd, without any ornamental paddings, she was duly measured for the dress, the material for which she says she gave to Madame La tour. When she came to fit. the garment on, however, wore a pair of false bosoms which cjuld not be reduced to sufficient space to allow tho dress to wofk over them. It was long enough in the skirt, had trail enough for Long Branch, Newport cr Saratoga, but, ah, the bosom I that cotild uot be made to joiu, aud Mis Sinclair's charms were visible to the vulgar gaze of the outer tto. 1. Che did net want this, as she said herself it would not look well to wear such a dress in company. This Miss Flora Sinclair blushinly and smilingly declared she did not desire, and insisted that the madamc should pay her for the material wasted in the dress. Madamc Latour, iu her broken English, begged la say to his honor that she was net responsible fof thef tti?tafee la tbe ste-e cf the dress, if any had occurred; io measured Miss Sinclair carefully, aud made the dress accordingly; and if the latter saw fit to add to her own charms, by wearing false bosoms over her catural endow ments, already large, she (?Iadamc Latour) could not be held responsible. His honor, the judge, said he knew little atout the mysteries of dressmaking, but she would refer ths whol? rübject to a competent pcrfon, to examine the facts and report to him the testimony. He accordingly referred the dispatants to Mrs. Robinson, u wsll-feiiottn dressmaker, on Sixth avenue, to adjudicate upon, but this lady ban not yet made her report. Meantime Miss Sinclair is obliged to jro without her. new garment, which, at one time, promised to add so much to her charms. The clerks and attaches of tho' court are ansiotislj sttaitiftg the jedge'r decision on the subject, as it is generally believed that it will coutain a long disquisition on the evil effects of false bosoms. Gen. Lee at the Springs. A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, writing from the White Sulphur Springs, in Virginia, gives the following account cf the arrival of Gen. Lee : Among the notable persons who arrived yesterday, was Gen Robert E. Lcc and? his family, who will spend a couple of weeks here, aud then go over to the Sweet Springs, where most of the visitors of the various watering places of this vicinity goto wind up the season and enjoy the splendid swimming baths. Gen. Lcc arrived here on his famous gray horse, which he rode all the way from Lexington. On his approach to the hotel, a strauger would have taken him for a plaid Virginia farmer, lie looks remarkably well, and although his hair is gray, he has uot otherwise changed so much in appearance as net to be recognized by those who knew him before the war. Like Washington, Lafayette, aud other rebel patriots of the Revolution, General Lee is respected and beloved even by those who were engaged against him in the late unhappy struggle. There was n cxeitemeut or furore on the General's arrival, but every one here treated him with the most profound respect and the greatest courtesy. On his appearance . in the ball-room, last evening, he rot eived tho respect aud smiles of the ladies from all parts of the country, but retired early to his cottage in the Baltimore row, where he was serenaded about twelve o'clock by Professor Rosenberg's Baltimore band. The geucral s accompanied by his wife, daughter and sen, the former ot whom Is quite an invalid, and has to be removed from the cottage to the spring and baths oa a chair placed ou wheels. Freak, ol a SonmamutillKt. From the Milwaukee SVctincl. A somewhat singular freak of a somnambulist has just been related to us. A gentleman living ic tho Seventh Ward one morning mij-sed a quantity of money which he had iu a draper, and, although strict search was made, no clue to the missing cash could be found. The money was taken from a drawer which was kept locked, and the key in the gentleman's pocket. The affair was involved iu mystery, which was not removed the uextday, when a set of silver spoons were missed. The servants were suspected of the theft, aud as a kuowledge that the articles had been missed bad been kept from them, it was determined to keep a watch the next night and fasten the guilt upon whoever should be found trespassing. Everything about the house rcmaiued quiet until about two o'clock, when a stir was heard. The person who was ou the watch peered cautiously through the hall from whence came the sounds of footsteps, and saw approachin the gentleman ofthehoue. He went to the cupboard with a stealthy step, took therefrom a quantity of silver plate and started for the back yard, closely followed by tho watchman, who at oucc suspected the tru'h of the case. The sleep walker proceeded cautiously to the wood idicd, and covered the pi itc carefully iu a barrel of ashes, and started back to his house. Ho was awoke, however, by the watchman, and appeared greatly bewildered atfiuding himself in that place. The matter was explained to him, and search was at once instituted nmong the ashes for the missing property. The search was happily rewarded by tho discovery of the silver plate, fpoons and greenbacks, safely secreted among the ashes, where they had been deposited by the gentleman, who had been unconsciously guilty of robbing himself. The cxporieucc may result in the cure of the gentleman of his habit of sleep walking. Subscribe for tbe DkuvCRT.
