jgk„The Harry Dean is now regular

and one of the best clerks that ever filled
an office. Wo hope that this good, relia
ble boat and her clever crew will be duly
appreciated and well patronized.
The Steamer Commercial passed
up on Thursday evening with a full trip

piece, keeping good time and giving entire
satisfaction to all who patronize her. Capt,

Gtenuous.—The most substantial cause for
joy that we have received from Washington,
since the President “smashed” Sumner and
Stevens, and conferred the title of “Dead
Duck” on Forney, is the proposition of the
Committee on Way's and Means, to reduce our
taxes some fifty or seventy-five millions! This
sum is large enough to afford a little relief to
every tax-payer! Another good thing is, that
the taxes on labor are also to be reduced,
and all incomes under $1,000 are to be exempt!
We are thankful for small favors, in this por
tion of Uncle Samuel’s heritage, and “larger
ones in proportion !” If we could get the ear
of that Committee, we would whisper this
word: “ Persevere,” gentlemen ; there’s room
for “more of the same sort.”—[Memphis
Ledger.
Prayer for Jefferson Davis.—A highly
esteemed minister in a neighboring State, re- 1
marks in a recent letter:
! “I have often thought, of late, that if I j
! could speak to all the praying people of the
South, l would impress upon them the thought
that it is their special duty to pray for Jeffer
son Davis. Surely he is in prison and in
peril, because of what we have done. He
j would not be there, if we had not made him
our cluet. Will me praying peuytc »•
South forget, him in these trying hours?”—:
[Christian Observer.
What was Once Said.
On the 12th of December, 1859, Mr. Lyman ,
Trumbull, then, as now, a senator of the
United States, said: _ ....
“In my judgment, there is a distinction be
tween the white and black races, made hy
Omnipotence itself. I do not believe these
two races pan live happily and pleasantly to
gether. ”
Not tivo months later, Andrew Johnson, a
senator from Tennessee, said :
“Tho senator from Illinois concedes the
whole ground, and all this clamor and claptrap
about liberty and man being created equal,
falls to the ground.”
Mr, Trumbull, it will be recollected, framed
both the Freedtnen’s Bureau Dill and tho “so
called” Civil Rights Bill, which seek to over
ride the “distinction between the white and black
races, nwrfe'V-as he once admitted—“ by Om
' nipotcnce itself.

Impoitant Queries by the Reconstruc
tion Committee.
The following from “Mac,” the Washington
correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial,
is too good to be lost:
I am sorry to observe a disposition on the
part of the Deconstruction Committee to sup
press. in the pretended publication of (Jen.
Lee’s testimony, the most important portion
of that distinguished officer’s examination, 1
violate no confidence in giving it as follows:
