A Serenade to the President.
From the telegraph we learn, that the
conservative army and navy union,
at Washington, having tendered to the
president a serenade, they invited all
conservatives and democrat* to join in
a demonstration bn the 13th inst.
The procession formed at the head
quarters of the army and navy union,
composed of delegations and associa
tions, including Johnson clube and
unions of Washingtchi and George
town, and a large number of soldiers
and sailors of the army and navy.—
Flagg, banners, lanterns and torches
were carried in the procession, and
during the march there was a continu
ous display of fireworks. There were
thirty bauds of music. A broom about
four feet long and nearly as broad, with
I a huge handle, was significantly CT
hibted. It is the same that was pre
sented to President Lincoln, and which
was purchased at an auction sale.—
When the procession arrived at the
executive mansion, a presidential sa
lute of 100 guns was tired. The dense
mass of spectators repeatedly called
and cheered the president. Music was
I played meanwhile, and fireworks ex
hibited. A committee, consisting of
Col. Jas. A. Lait, Col. P. II. Allbach
and Col. Jas. R. Obeni, escorted the
president to the front of the mansion,
where he was greeted with repeated
cheers. Col. Obcrn then addressed the
president as follows:
Mr. Pkksidbnt : The conservative
army and navy union, of the District
of Columbia, tender you, their honor
ed chief, the compliment of a grand
serenade, in congratulation of the new
I ly promised hope for the welfare of
! our recently unhappy country. Our
I conservative friends throughout the
i District of Columbia, representing the
VIlllVI l.llt BlUIVO VI HIV UIIIVUj JVIII MO Ml
trusting that the present, with its ar
rangements, may be a harbinger of re
newed future prosperity, tranquility
and brotherly love throughout the
land. Wo invoke Providence to
strengthen your hands, to give you
courage and fortitude, and to aid you
in the successful performance of the
mission it is yours to perform. Salus
popuii lex suprema est.
The president then addressed the as- <
scmblage as follows:
Fkllow-citizbxs : It is not tny in
tention to make an address upon this
occasion, but simply to tender yon my
j thanks for this demonstration—a de
, moustration approbating what your
! fellow-citizens have declared iu the re
cent elections in varieus states of the
Union. They will appreciate your re
sponse to what they have done and ;
send back greeting that the union of
the states must be maintained accord
ing to the original design of our fath
ers. I confess I am gratified, but not
surprised at the result of the recent
elections.
I htiTe always had undoubting con
fidence in the people. They may be
sometimes misled by a lying spirit in
the mouths of their prophets, but nev
er perverted, and iu the end they are
always right. In the gloomiest hours
through which I have passed, and many
of them God knows havo been dark
enough—when our constitution was
in tye utmost peril, when onr free in
stitutions were assailed by afornidabie
force, and our great republic seems to
be tottering to its fall; and when I
felt how vain were ray efforts alone to
preserve her institutions in their in
tegrity, and save the republic from ruin,
I was still hopeful; I had still an abid
ing confidence in them, and I felt as
sured that they, in their might, would
come to the rescue. They have come;
and thank God they Iiave couie, and
tlmt mm rumililwi nvi \’ vnt llii BflVrtH
It was but the other day that I offici- j
ally declared that the remedy for the |
present unhappy eouditiou of the couu
try must come from the people them- I
solves. They know what that remedy '
is, and how it is to be applied at the j
present time. They cannot, according
to the forms of the constitution, repeal
obnoxious laws; they cannot remove
or control this military despotism ; the
remedy is, nevertheless, iu their hands
aud is a sure one, if not controlled by
fanatics and overawed by arbitrary
power, or from apathy on their part too
long delayed. With abiding confi
dence in their patriotism, wisdom and
integrity, I am still hopeful that in the
end the rod of despotism will be broken
the armed heel of power lifted from t
the neck of the people, aud the princi- I
pies of the constitution preserved. The 1
people have spoken iu a manner not to
be misunderstood. Thank God that
they have spoken, for it is upon their
intelligence and their integrity that I
have always relied nud still rely. The [
constitution of the country, which was '
impaired, had recently been before ;
them for consideration, and it has had i
new life and vigor imparted to it from
it* original source—the people. It
comes back to us with renewed vigor ;
lei it now be translated high up iu the ’
heavens, written in letters of living
light, as the symbol of liberty, union
justice and fraternity. Good night.

Married for Fun—A Romance in |
Social Life.
From tlie Detroit Free Trees.
“People should be careful liow they
handle edge tool*,” it an old adage that
may apply in more ways than one, of
every day life, and is as true in matri-,
mony as in carpentry. The history of;
man and womankind is full of marry-.
ings in haste to repent at leisure—of l
ill-assorted consorts and troubles, trials
aud tribulations without uumber, have
resulted from the careless choice of!
material* for the matrimouial craft.— j
But seldom do we hear of a ease like 1
that which we give to our eager reader* 1
tiiis morning. *
A few evenings since a gay vonng
mechanic of this city, of pleasing ad
dress and with love of fun, in a compa
ny of youths and maiden* at a party in
the neighborhood, bantered a young
damsel upon the mode and tense, other
wise the manner and form of the mar
riage ceremony, and in the course of
his joke, which was not by any mean*
intended al first to be practical, ofl'ered
to submit to the ordeal, “just for fun,”
if she would consent to act the part of
bride in the ceremony. She, full of
spirit, and with the determination to
show the laughing bevy of boy* and
girl* about her that she was not one to
retire and hide herself in a confusion
of blnshes at the mention of such a sub
ject, declared her readiness for the op
eration. It needed but a word or two
of bantering and the expression of a;
decided belief on the part of the com- j
panv that botli would recoil from the i
undertaking, to tire tlie souls of the !
young couple, and they forthwith pro
ceeded to a well-known clergyman and
made known their errand. The about
to-be-groom and the reverend gentle- '
man stepped out for a moment's con- j
vnraaiiiti ill u'liii<h 111«• vimnir lail v auro i
" i
she supposed that the farce was ex
plained, and iua few moments—
" Tlie knot was tied, through ike bridegroom
was weak.
Yet, nevertheless, he made clear for to speak.” j
and they were pronounced man and J
wife, llut the end was not yet—the 1
affair at first taiked'over as a good joke
began to excite serious apprehensions. >
and inquire into the ceremony revealed
the fact tlint the parties were, as Arte- I
inns Ward would say, "A good deal
too much married.'’ A pretty kettle of
fish. The daughter of well known and
highly respectable parents, the wife of
a man site uevor thought of loving—
1 lie joke of a moment and the thought
less raillery of a breath, turned into a
most serious matter and of life-long ex
tent. Legal advico songht from the
highest ability but confirmed the cere
mony and drew the cord closer. Des
pair and chagrin siezed upon the young
lady's family and friends. The youth
was appealed to
"lake wretch o erlakcn in his track
W ith stolen ehaucls on his baok;
Will hang his head in fear aud shame
And to the awful presence came."
He said that he did'ntmeun to do any
harm, and pleaded the schoolboy's de
fense—"the darned thing had whis
tled. itself!”
A last resort was to the law for a di
vorce, and papers in due form were
drawn up praying the courts to sever
the unpleasant bonds. This, signed
by "the high eoncractlng parties,” is
now in the liauds of the Judge, and
the interested ones are waiting anxious
ly to know what his decision may be. j
It is by oo means certain that a decree
of divorce can be granted "just for J
fUB.”

Every mail and every days telegraph

with accounts of disturbances of the ]

The Richmond Enquirer gives the
following aecouut of the “notices to

On Saturday morning Mr. A. Mon

found the following letter under his
door:
“ RicHMoxd, V a., October 25,1867.
We, tho colored people of the city of
Richmond, having formed a vigilance
committee, warn you to leave the city
in forty-eight hours after receiving this

to go with you, they can do so, or they
can remain; we will not Interfere with
them. If you do not heed this warn

ADVETI.AING AND CASH BUSINESS.—
Merchants of every description who
have suffered from lossss which they
incurred by too much credit in 1806, |
are uow naturally anxious to do a cash j
business. In fact, “pay down” i# the
dictate of safety and wisdom, because i
the financial and political affairs of the I
country are just in that shape where
the thoughtful man feels the necessity
of holding his resources in hand. Xow j
it.is a concession of all traders—even :
those who do not advertise, that the
custom which they have heretofore ob
tained by advertising, lias generally
been from men with cash in hand, who
bought freely at the lowest market
rates. When merchants advertise j
“good bargains,” it attiucts tip- cash i
from the pockets of the community.— j
We are, therefore, correct in saying
that nothing tends more to promote a
cash business than advertising.—[Wis

A Suggestion to Railroad Men.
The present system worked by the
railroad companies throughout the
country is one which is universally un
popular with the traveling ptiblle. It
is well enough to have a ear for ladies,
but yet there is derided objection to
thrusting a gentleman, who happens
to be alone, into a dirty car filled with
men spitting and squirting tobacco
julrc all around. Bnt still he has no
remedy ; ho must either go in there or 1
remain upon the platforms as the fei-!
low standing sentinel at the door, in ;
an insolent tone, tells you, “Can’t go
there, ladies' car—go to next car,” and
shoves you back. There is not much
comfort in traveling anyhow, but when
a gentleman to whom smoking may be
very obnoxious is thrust into a car
filled with men smoking and chewing,
it is enough to make him growl. The
Nashville Banner, in an editorial on
this subject, gives the following very
sensible reasons why a classification of
cars should be adopted on our railroads.
Wc coincide fully with the views of
the Banner, and think' the time has
about arrived when such a procedure
is an absolute necessity, botli for the
good of the roads and the protection of
all classes of passengers, The classifi
cations are as follows:
“There ought to be three classes of
passenger cars and.tickets on our rail
roads. The first class ought to be an
expensive ticket, which would be
bought by wealthy people, families
with small children, etc., who want to
travel by themselves, and are willing
to pay more to travel by themselves.
First class cars ought to be divided in
to compartments of six seats, which
could be used as couches iu the night,
and these compartments ought to be
like the present so-called first class
passenger cars, with the same price.
S’.cepinir cars could be attached to
them if necessary.
•‘The third class tickets ought to lie
very cheap, and give admittance to
unstuffed seats, which would have the
comfort of a stove in winter.
“It is believed that railway traveling,
by the introduction of such classes,
w ould increase the income of railway
companies, as the public would, no
doubt, appreciate the advantages enu
merated.
“By such a system, the foolish sepa
ration of the sexes would be discon
tinued, and the' negroes would, of
course, crowd into the third class cars
on account of the cheapness of the fare.”

Garibaldi Defeated.
The cable dispatches furnish a brief
account of the defeat of Garribaldi by
the combined forces of the Pope and
the French Emperor. As to Garibaldi’s
fate reports are contradictory. One
account says that he is killed while J
another makes him a prisoner. The j
probability is that the revolutionists
have received such a serious check as
will cause them to abandon their dc-1
signs. They nover had any reasonable
hope for success unless Victor Emanuel
give them his favor and assistance, and |
that he was bound by treaty not to do.
lie was under solemn obligations to
maintaiu the integrity of the Papal do
minions, and up to this time he lias
acted in good faith, and has refrained
from taking any active part either for
or against. Whether he will continue
neutral or not remains to he seen.—
France has fully committed herself in
behalf of the Pope and will not recede.
Prussia has intimated a disposition to
take a part in the embroilment and
may do it. If she does it is not un-1
likely that Austria may also take a 1
baud, and with all these great powers
eusaired there would be bloody work, i
It may be, however, that Garibaldi’s
disaster Will Hose the war. After such
a repulse as he has received it will be
difficult for him to recover, and in al
most auy event, with Victor Emannel
neutral, it will be impossible for him
to sustaiu himself against the power of
France. If the report of his death
should prove to he correct, the move- :
nient'of which lie was the originator!
and guiding spirit will necessarily fail. I

-A sprightly writer expresses his j
opinion of old maids iu the following j
manner: “1 uns inclined to think that .
many of the satirical aspersions cast
upon old maids toll more to their ored- .
it than is generally imagined. Is a
woman remarkably neat iuber person ?
‘Site will certainly be au old maid.' Is
she particularly reserved toward Jlie j
other sex? ‘She has all the snucain
ishness of au old maid.' Is she frugal j
in her expenses and exact iu her do- I
racslic concerns ? ‘She is cut out for j
an old maid.' And if she is humane to
the nuiimsis about her, nothing can
save her from the appellation of an
old maid.’ In short, I have always
found that neatness, modesty, econo
my and humanity are the never-failing
characteristics of that terrible creature
-•old maid.’ ’’

so is affection brighter when bestowed upon
