Should the PiatDics ever ally "itself with the whisky seller of Richmond," the editor of the TtUyrum, by common content, will not be permitted to as-u.tt "decent people" to kick it. They would have too much regard for the proprieties of life to accept of the voluntary aid of an ass-head or ass-heels to indict punishment for an alliance like the one above suggested ; besides, w couldn't " get used to the :xri,AN ation. George W. Julian having written seversl editorial j lor Mr. Duckwall'a re Press mlvtrtieimg hit peculiar Illness for Keprenentative in Congress, snd slandering ! and abusing those opposed to him, Mr. 1). demanded payment for this nork, at tbe same rate, we presnme he advertises Ar quack nostrums. George mildly refused, and referred Mr. Duckwall to hia friend and almoner, Mr. Collector H aulas, for pay, and Mr. II., flatly refused to honor the draft ; thereupon Mr. Duckwall, gives George the comp de grace by denouncing him as being "as corrupt as sin, and as mean as the d.jvil !" We rather like the note of that bird it is emphatically a Duck-watl, and sounds like opening up this uiidb business to some purpose. The Indianapolis correspondent of the Cincinnsti Crrmmrrcwl, "Ilrayfogle," gives the following correction to 'Mac's" version of the Meredith McBrida difficulty, "Mac," is a most virulent and confirmed ' "copperhead" which accounts for his unblushing false- i hoods regarding that affair, and the deep interest he ', takes in hi friend MeDride. The Julian organs, copy with evident delight the cow-hiding (on paper) that "Mac" makes McHride perform on Gen. Meredith and George's friends sre so "muchly" rejoiced thereat, that they remember no more their "indignation" at the cow-hiding their taint received at the Richmond Depot. We beg pardon for recalling theui from an imaginary scene to a reality ; bat 'twas their ox that was gartd by cow-bide 1 Meredith and M'IIkidk. The story of your Washington corirspondent, tbat General Meredith had suffered himself to be publicly cowr-hided in Washington without any effort to resent the indignity, is so ridioulously absured that I am surprised at Mack's having suffered himself imposed on. Whatever may be General Meredith's faults, he is not the man to tamely submit to a horse-whipping from anybody, Jarge or small. The facts of the case, as published in the Washington papers at the time, are that Mcllride struck at Meredith with the buteud of a loaded whip, and wa9 in turn choked until he -as black in the face, when Meredith was taken oil". In regard to th difficulty between them I know nothing, except that Mcllride's reputation as a "soldier and a gentleman" is none of the brightest, and his ' reputation for veracity, like the virtue of certain women "no better than it should be." j?4F We call the attention of our readers to the : Prospectus of Moore's Rural New Yorker in another i column.

CONGRESSIONAL. In tbe Senate. Thursday Mr. Chandler presented the remonstrance cf citiseusof Michigan against renewing the reciprocity treaty A bill was passed authorizing tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury to appoint assistant assessors. Mr. Trumbull reported bills extending the jurisdiction of tbe Frecdmen's Bureau and protecting all citizens in their rights. The remainder of the session was occupied by a speech from Mr. Jobneoa opposing the House's resolution to appoint provisional Governors for the late Rebel Slatea. In tbe Honse, a communication frosa the Secretary of War was recived stating tbat Cumitiesionersbad been appointed in Delaware and Marrland to make awarda for slaves mustered iavo tbe military service, but that the order bad been suspended for the present in other slave stales. Mr. Stevens reported a bill making appropriations for the payment of the army for the comingyear. The Committee on Territories were instructed to inquire inU the expediency of repealing the act organising the Territory of Utah, and dividing that Territory, attaching one part to Kevada and the otber to contiguous Territories. Mr. Rogers, of New Jersey, made a long speech in opposition to negro suffrage, which elicited a slinging reply from Mr. Farnsworth, of Illinois, and a vigorous cross-examination from Judge Kelly of Pennsylvania. In the Senate, on Friday, a petition was presented from citizens of Arkansas that a port ion of the State be organized into a territory. Tbe memorial of the American Free Trade League was referred to the Finance Committee. Mr. D.xn pSered a bill on postal matters. Mr. Trumbull's bills, protecting citizens of all classes in their rights, and extending the jurisdiction of the Frecdmen's Bureau, are made by the special order for Monday. In the House, Mr. Hooper offered a bill extending the tima for withdrawing goods from public warehouses, which wss passed. Tbe Committee on Ways and Means were instructed to inquire into the expediency of abolishing the revenue tax on Bibles, Testaments, school books and paper, and of levying a tax of fire per cent, on horse races. The balance of the session wss occupied i.i a animated debate on the negro suffrage bill between Messrs. Da

ves and Chandler, of X. Y., in opposition, and Bing-I ham an Grinnell in favor. Both Houses adjourned j until Monday. Hon. Wm. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, in his speech on reconstruction, the other day io the House, made a quotation from Mr. Malison, which produced a great sensation, in opposition to the theory that the States have exclusive control over the subject of suffrage. In the debate ou t.ie Constitution (see Elliott's Debates 3d vol., page 397), Madison sai l, in reply to a question by Monroe : " Should the people of any State, by any means, bo deprived of the right of suffrage, it was judged proper that it should be remedied by tbe General Government. It waa fonnd impossible to fix the time, place and manner of the election of Representatives in the Constitution. It was found necessary to leave the regulation of these, io the first place, to the Slate Governments, abing best acquainted with the situation of the people, subject to the control of the Getier.il Government, in order to enable it to pr"iuce uniformity snd prevent its own dissolution, snd considering the State Governments and General Government as distinct bodies, acting in different and independent capacities for tbe people. It was thought the particular regulations should be submittal to the former, and general regulations to tbe latter. Wert ttsy txdutirely tavier rotUrtU of Ae .SVnto Government; th Gtnerul Governmettt miyht be. ettoiiy duolveti ; but if they bo regulated properly by the Slate Legislatures tbe Congressional control will very probably never be exercised. The power appears to me satisfactory and as unlikely to be abused as any part of the Constitution." This quotation produced a decided sensation in the House. In the Senate, Monday, Mr. Wilson offered a bill tbat every officer of the artillery, cavalry and infantry appear before an examining board, to be convened and appointed by the Secretary of War. Mr. Chandler oflered resolutions that the President recall our minister st the Court of St. James, and declare non-intercourse with Great Britain. Mr. Howard tffered resolutions calling for the trial of Jeff. Davis snd Clemen C. Clay. Mr. Sherman oflered a resolution providing for tbe dismissal of James J. Wheeler, a West Point cadet, formerly of the rebel service, who has oven recently appointed to that institution from Kentucky over a Union applicant. Mr. Anthony offered a resolution that copies of all puMic documents shall t sent to all public schools. Mr. Sprague offered a bill for increase of import duties on certain articles of manufacture. In the House Mr. Conkling moved an amendment to the Constitution providing that the basis of representation and taxation shall be the whole number of citizens, provided that negroes who bare not of the rijrht ot suffrage shall be excluded from auch basts. Mr. lironmall moved that inasmuch as the white men in the District of Columbia have held an election to declare that the black men cannot vote, the latter hold an election and declare white men cannot vote. The main part of the session was occupied by the debate on the negro suffrage bill. In the Senate, Tuesday, Mr. Chandler's bill calling lor non-intercourse with Great Britain was tabled. Mr. Wilson's militsry bill, the details of which are given elsewhere, waa ordered printed. Tbe bill to establish an asylum for disabled soldiers was passed. Mr. Howard's bill for the trial of Jefferson Davis was ordered printed. Tbe remainder of the session of the Senate, as well ss the main part of the session of the House, was occupied with the debate on the snffrage bill. A cacus of Union members of the House of Representatives was held on Tuesday, at which resolutions ia favor ot making voters the ba.is of representation" ot dutv on exports, and of the suffrage bill with conditions, wer passed. Taves on Knowledge. It wss lately shown, in an article in Harper' Wecily, thst printed books " pay not less than fifteen separate taxes to the Governmett before they reach the reader." The subject has been followed op by an exposition, based upon the tact that eptcrprising booksellers in Philadelphia, Xcw York and Boston, " have discovered that they can import books from England, pay the full duty, and lay them down here at less than half the cost of similar books printed, boand, and published in this country. " The Philadelphia Pre says that the well known book firm of J. M. Lippincott A Co., of that city, have arranged largely to import and sell English publications in this -country. Paper being duty-free in England, a printed book, weighing one PpulH, cn ti,ere c produced for twenty-one cents, import duty of fire and a quarter cents, against fifty nine and a qu trier cents, the cost of making ac American book here. The result, unless a change be made, will be most injurious to American literature, and all the laborers who produce iu Hrper says: " Congress is prepared, it is said, to modify t!ie internal revenue law where it has proved either ineffective or unduly oppressive. Is it too much to expect that among the taxes which are reduced will be those which increase tbe coat of books, aad which threaten to flood the country with foreign publications to the exclusion of American literature ? A fire at Oshkosh, Friday destroyed four large stores. One-half the town of Plvmonth. Ind., was consumed on the Sdinst. loss 8 100. 000. The large engine house of tbe Bellefontaine railroad at Gallion, Ohio, was destroyed on Friday with twelve locomotives. Loss be tween 8300,000 and 8600,000. The gas works at Point Breeze. Pa., together with a large quantity of coal, was burned Monday. The last of th day's fires was the steamer Eleanor Carroll, at Louisville, which took flro accidentally. JSTThe Burlington (Vt) Fret Prett says Mr. Henry Wilson, of llinesburgh, hRS recently lost five cows, oat of a herd of forty, by a disease apparently the same in each case, and terminating in death about twelve hours from the attack. This causes considerable solicitude among the dairymen in tbat quartea. Bat as yet it i net known tbat the disease ha appeared ia other herds.

Internal Revenue Prepare for the AnI nual Assessment. i j No time should be lost by farmers, I merchants, mechanics, and business men generally, in balancing their books, I looting up their accounts, and so arrang ing matters as that their income return for the year 18G5 may be mado not only intelligibly to the proper ollicer, but also satisfactory to themselves. It is too often the case that parties liable to an assessment neglect to make the most common and necessarj- calculations, and even appear before the Assessor without any memoranda whatever, trusting, in many instances, to a defective memory to supply the most essential facts. This practice cannot be too highly reprehended, producing, as it does, delay, annoyance and errors innumerable. As each one mut swear to the correctness of his return, he should see that he can do so with reasonable exactness at least. As the Annual Assessment is to be made on or before the first day of May, 1S66, an opinion prevails to some extent that the assessment of income is to be estimated on the year endinr on said day. Such is not the fact. The estimate will be. made on the year ending Decmher3 1st, 1865. Farmers should at once make out a detailed statement of the quantity, description and value of Agricultural Products and Live Stock sold during said year, and also of the estimate value of amount of agricultural products consumed by each person in family, by the laborers employed, and by the animals kept for pleasure. Brook ville American. Forck of Habit. There is an East ern tale of a magician who discovered, by his incantation, that the philosopher's stone lay on the bed of a certain river, but ras unable to determine its locality more definitely. He, therefore, strolled along the bank with a piece of iron, to which he applied successfully all the pebbles he found. As one after another they produced no change iu the metal, he flung them into the stream. At last he hit on the object of his search, and the iron became gold in his hand. But, alas! he had become so accustomed to the 'touch and go' movement, that the real stone was involuntarily thrown into the river after the others, and lost to him forever. John Hoppy of the Nashville 'Banner, gives the following humorous description of his journeyings after pardon : Had a personal interview with the Chief Magistrate, and asked him for a small pardon, if he had any left. Chief Magistrate wanted to know what position I held in the. rebel army. The answer was faint, somewhat hesitating and a little shaky. I was 'quartermaster.' Chief Magistrate chuckled and turned his head to conceal a sardonic smile. 'My ancient and venerable friend, he said, if you think that your department of the rebellion injured or endangered the Union cause your innocence is a pardon in itself. " A man recently, on being asked if he ! suffered any from the effects of an explosion of a steamboat, on which he was I a passenger, replied : " Oh, no, not in the least, as I have been "climated for' some years. My wife blows me up sevendavs in the week." ,

- 'From tbe Child's Paper. The Something which Makes us Act. "George Ilsey seems very fond of you Theodore," I said to my little nephew.

He is not foni of me, auntie, an-j swered Theodore. "I saw his arm round you, and he offered you a handful of nuts." "He had a selfish motive for all that. He wanted my sled,' said Theodore; but he won't get it. I don't like him." Thai was really pretty spunky for Theodore, who surely is a kind-hearted little fellow. But what I tell yon this for is to speak of motive. What is motive? It ia something in our minds which leads us to do things something which infiuenees our actions. It gives a character to them, good or bad ; and the value or merit of what we do, depends upon the motive. As far as people can see our motives, they judge us by them. People cannot always look into our hearts and find out our motives. They cannot always be sure we have selfish motives. God can be sure. He looks into the heart, and judges us by them. You remember the two men who went up into the temple to pray. Both trt to pray. Both did pray. That was right. But one went to boast of his givings, and to thank God that he was not as bad as some other people. The other went into a corner, and sobbed and cried for mercy. He was sorry he had a bad heart, and prayed God to forgive him. The prayer of one man was displeasing to God on account of the motives, which were proud and loastful. The prayer of the other, God loved and answered, because the motives were pleasing iu his sight. It was a penitent and humble spirit that led him to God. But. you see, we may do a thing which is good in itself, acd we may get praise for it, and yet God, who sees our motive for doing it, may be displeased. Our thoughts are "naked and open" to him. He always looks in the heart, and nothing will satisfy him but what we do from a right motive. It is more to him than anything else. Cp.kimt to the Frkeumen. In the in augural address of Governor Jenkins, of Georgia, we find a tribute to the eolored people of the late slave States, which they well deserve. In speaking to the members of the Legislature, about the colored man, he used these words: 'Sfcice the fiat of emancipation, although sometimes unsettled in his purposes and inconsistent in his service by contract, (the natural result of a transition so thorough and so sudden,) I take you all to witness that in the main, his conduct has been praiseworthy beyond all rational expectation.'' And he further said that in his judgment the "fidelity of necroes in the past, and their decorum under the distressing influence of the present ; are without parallel in history, and establish for them a strong claim upon our favoring patronage." This is sensible and just. During the war the 6laves might have given their masters a great deal of trouble, by breaking out in revolt. Such trouble was not only predicted, but generally expected and the terrible nature of the scenes that might have followed were anticipated with dread by a great many people, even in the North, "lint the siaves did not revolt; there were no such deeds done by them, and this should impel the people of the Southern States to deal with them (now that they are Ireemen) in a spirit of justice and generous liberality. Philadelphia Ledger. Singular Obituary. The Atlanta (Ga.) Messenger gives the following odd notice of a deceased citizen of that place : He was the father of eleven sons, five of whom married five sisters. He had one hundred and eighty nine grandchildren ; and at his funeral, two weeks ago last Sabbath, two horses were stung to death by bees, and another came near losing his life by the same. The above is not the only singular thing of the kind in Georgia. At King gold, in the most elegant yard of the cemetery, there is this inscription upon a tombstone : Sacred to the memory of Tennessee Thompson, Jr. He lived to enliven the happiness of his parents three years, two months and twenty-three days, when death tore him from the mountain's brow. An angel caught and bore him o're the sea. and placed him in God's White House, to live and play through all eternitv. A New Volume.

We cannot tell whether they are mementoes of the disgrace of the State, or tie humiliation of the United States. At any rate, we don't care about preserving the memory of that seven by nine pieces of territory, that has bred treason and traitors ever since 17S4. The preservation of such a rememberance is too much like gratifying a morbid appitite. It's like the boy with an apple, who wag met by another urchin who had nothing but a sore toe. The sore toe boy coveted a piece of the apple, but how to get it was the rub. At last, said he, "John give me a bit of your a g pie and Til lei you tee my tore toe.' Madison Courier. Every yon ng man is eagerly asking the best way of getting on In life. ? The Bible gives a very short answer to the question : "Walk in the way of good men and keep the paths of the righteous." A great many books of advice have been written ; but here is the gist of them all.

Strange Coincidence. A correspondent of the Ohio State ' Journal gives the following anecdote of; Tom Cor win, on the night he receird hia death stroke : j When at last the press about him les- ' send, I sat down by his aide. What he j

happeoed first to say to me furnishes one of those strange coincidences which help to invest our lives with a tinge of the mysterious anu awful, and which makes us superstitious. ' Oneof his firfrt utterance to m wm a startling descrip-4 tion ot what lorn. Corwia was tube in twenty five minutes after its utterance. It was thi : He said, "You are more bald than when I saw you lat, the dav before I sailed for Mexico" I said, "Yes." ; He said, with the semi-solemn, semi-corn- i ical face, which ha become historical, j "But, then, Julius Ciesar was bald." I j said, "But Casar had fits." Therv he ; assumed a more serious manner, and said, "Twenty years ago, I saw a man ' fallin an apparently unconscious paxaly- ' sis, when in the midst of an excited : discourse. He was carried out but his : first act of consciousness was to utter the words you have just said : i ' Citsar had fits." In twenty-five minutes after, I assisted j in carrying Corwia out in the precise condition he had so strangely described, j Agriculture in the West. This is one of the principal sources of our fast increasing wealth, aud it is becoming more formidable every year. The ingenuity of man, butilv occupied in the invention aud multiplication of the various implements of husbandry, j has done much to place it where it now : stands in trie scale of national woitu. ; What was once drudgery aud slavish ' toil, js becoming comparatively a pas i time, and men from every other depart- j nient of industry are making haste to j collect money enough together io purchase a farm, allured by tbw good fortune 1 of those who have alrerdy attained to a j life of indedenpence and ease our good ! substantial farmers, whose word is equal to their bond. Beforo our Corn Plan- ! ters. Cultivators, Wheat Prills, Mowers ! una Keepers, ptc, came into vogue, j farming was one incessant round of ' labor, while the progress wa so slow I that before the work of oue season was finished that of the nest was waiting. ! Now by the powerful aid of the excellent j inventions of the daj-, the burden of the J work upon a farm can be done with a j great saving of time and manual labor. ! Instead of plodding along at the plow- j handles in the tiresome furrow day after I day, turning the heavy prairie sod with ; aching arms and tired feet, we see the ; Illinois farmer sitting back on his plow in j a comfortable seat behind his six spank- j ing mettled horses that hurry him along j over the field at a good fast gait, and ! what was once hard work is converted ! into almost a pleasure excursion. We ! look for the time when most of the plowing in the West will be done in this I manner. Once our farmer pushed along step by step against the heavy standing j grain, sweeping his cradle right and left j about him, or bent to the swing of his j slow cutting scythe, and when night came, how little was done. Now notice the whirling machine, as the lively j stepping team whirls it along, while the yellow sheaves are scattered on the route j one after another in quick succession, j Science is not only at work in the I direction referred to, but she is also j busy developing the great wealth that j must grow out of the improvement in the manner of cultivating the products; of the Western soil. Agric ultural,Horticultural, and Potnological Societies are ; springing up in every direction. The j people meet in convention to discuss the merits of the different kinds of pro- j ducts, grain, fruit and flowers, separate j mutually benefitted, and return to their! farms to improve on their last year's ef- ! fort. By such means, and others we ' have not alluded to, Agiiculture is i pushed forward to an eminence that ' bids fair to be as ample in domain as com- j merce and manufactures combined. I Laporte Union. j As soon as the late rebel States shall reach a point of good behavior, at which the Government and the people j of the Republic will be fulfy and entirely j satisfied that every black man whose j feet may henceforth press their soil, will j be treated with equal and exact justice, j and be in truth and in fact accorded all j the rights and privileges of "life, liberty I and the pursuit of hapiness,"' then, Irtit not an hour sooner, let them be restored i to their places as States of the Union, in full fellowship and equality with the loyal States. Nothing short of that ! would be safe nothing more than this ! would be just or politic. Chicago Junrnal. I That is to say ( as the lawyers would ! have it ) : Until the late rebel States shall reach that point of good behavior j at which the Government and people off the Republic shall be fully and entirely j satisfied that every white man and every j black man whose feet may henceforth S press their soil will be treated with equal and exact justice, and be in truth and in fact accorded all the rijrht3 and privileges of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," let them remain as they now are, where they are best prepared to reflect upon the audacitr of their rebellious designs," and to fully comprehend the blessings, of that benign Government which withholds its earnest of good only untii these people say by their conduct they desire to return.
