, morals of Sorrow.
" But for the sorrows of the heart, where
would the affections find their strength?
Our virtues, like the aromatic shrubs of
the forest, only give out their sweets when
their leaves are bruised and trampled. He
who lias not felt of sorrow, may be scarcely
said to have known love, since the most
precious joys of the soul arise from sym?
pathies that are seldom known till they
atc sought, and neve;-sought till they are
necessary to soothe an. infirmity or satisfy
a need.
Economy cf Time.
The best key to success is the provi?
dence of time. After all, the most valua?
ble of our human possessions is time, since
that is always limited lu duration. It fol?
lows that he who is the best economist of
this possession, has the largest, capital for
business of any of bis competitors. But
time, of course, implies hearth, strength,
courage, resolution, temperance-without
which, perhaps, there can be no economy
in anything.
DOMESTIC MAGNANIMITY.-Magnanimity
it, perhaps, more important as a domestic
virtue than in any other relation. If the
love, supposed to be the -permeating es?
sence pervading the domestic circle, has
not learned promptly to forgive, it has
failed to acquire the very first lesson upon
which depends the securities of household
happiness.
A. despatch to the New York Herald.
dated. Washington, June ll, says: "It is
understood that the President has deter?
mined to appoint Judge Sharkey as Provi?
sional Governor of Mississippi. Judge
Sharkey has been her? for several days
past with the delegation from Mississippi
in consultation with the President in re?
ference to the reconstruction of thc State
Government, and is understood to have
been a Union man -throughout the rebel?
lion."
An amateur concert in Charleston
.brought forth a Miss McNetty, who
achieved a decided success in singing, but j
was, according to the Courier, "at tintes a
little low." We trust that she will be duly
leavened b}- the criticism, and ri*e to the
proper attitude. Mr. Scott's Lord Lovell
and tim "Star Spangled Banner" brought
down the house. Mr. O'Neale "presided
nt the piano with his accustomed ele?
gance, while Mrs. B. and Mr. B." (why
will excellence still shroud itself in hash
fulness?) "lent additional charms to the
recherche entertainment."

AN-OTHEK BATCH OF BOOTH'S PAPERS
FOUND.-The Quebec Mercury, ot June 6,
say? In virtue ot a commission of inspec?
tion obtained from the Vice Admiralty
Court by Mr. Dunbar, on behalf of the
United States Consul at Quebec, the De?
puty Marshal of that Court, Mr. Parkin,
Jr , brought to town to-day, from below
Bic; three trunks belonging to J. Wilkes
Booth, the assassin of Mr. Lincoln. These
trunks were shipped at Montreal, last fall,
for Nassau, and destined for Richmond;
but the schooner on board ol which they
were, having been wrecked, they were
token to Bic by the salvors. The result ol
the inspection is, we are told, that th?
trunks contain a verj' costly and extensiv?
theatrical wardrobe almost totally de?
stroyed by salt water. There age also
soma papers, letters, ?fcc,.of Booth's; bul

A. G. BASKIN, City Clerk.
Treatment of the South.
The New York iYews writes a well-timed
article upon this theme, and closes as fol?
lows:
Would to God this question were left to
the soldiers of the Federal armies to settle!
Would they be willing to avow that they
were all these four years not fighting sn
honorable foe, but exterminating a gang
of scoundrel brigands-that they were not
a graud army arrayed against another
grand army, in the decision of a grand
quarrel, but only a sheriff's poste comifatus
called out to capture highwaymen? Such
a theory of the war debases both sid*'s.
Let no man say we are crying out for
mercy to rebels. Call them rebels if you
will; but what we demand for them is not
mercy-, it is justice-justice to ourselves as
well as to them. We would save the
nstion from a foul blot, which, if it stains
its escutcheon withal in an.excess of pas?
sion, ?ur children's children will wish to
blot out thnt page of their history.
And there are in this matter high con?
sid?rations of policy, as well as of honor
and justice. What is the reason, now the .
war is over, the Government papor falls
in virtui? ls it not because the policy
which seems now to be settled upon out
Administration threatens to render the
South for a long while miserable, disaf?
fected and dangerous? If the people of
that eountry, after frankly submitting to
the arbitrament of fate, anti yielding -to
the authority of the National Government-,
are still to be held as outlaws in their own
States; if their late head and chief, as
representing the whole Confederacy, \a to
be ignominiously .tried like a garroter, so
as to make them all feel themsulves de?
graded and branded in his own person; if
a high-spirited people are to be goaded
and tortured by every moat ingenious and
intolerable humiliation; then what chance
ia there that those fertile Mates will soon
resume the peaceful ways of progress, and
bring contentedly th?ir full contribution
as before to the general nut ional wealth
and power? If we are not to have peace
and good will after all; if the struggle of
arms is to be succeeded by n long agony of
political proscriptions and prosecution?,
by black lists, and informers, and confisca?
tions aa in Poland, and packed juries a* in
Ireland, why the sooner prudent men
get rid of their greenbacks, and quit the
country, shaking the dust off their feet,
the better for them..
We say nothing about the nssassins of
President Lincoln. We take no interest
in assassins. An assassin, or an accom?
plice of assassins, or suborner of assasina
lion, if convicted, ought to suffer the
[lenalty due to his crimes. If Mr. Davis
timself could be proven?guilty of compli?
city in such a business", we admit that
from a political chief and banner bearer
of a nation, he sinks into the common cut
throat; and in that cuse, away with him.
Show him no mercy. But in the name of
common sense, do not seek to put a whole
nation in the criminal's dock iu the person
of its chosen chief.
ANOTHER HEBEL "INNOCENT."-To the.
Editor of the Montreal Gazette: 1 desire
through, your columns to denounce and
will prove the testimony of one Sanford
Conover, alias James Watson Wallace, in
relation to myself before?the military court
now sitting at Washington city, as wilful?
perjury in every .particular. The only
distinct recollection I have of this fellow
is that a gentleman asked and obtained
from me a small amount of money as
charity to him and his wife, who were
represented as distressed Southerners.

The bill defining the right of suffrage,
which has recently been passed by the
Legislature of Tennessee, ignores the ne?
gro entirely and limits the franchise to
loyal white citizens only'. All those who
have served in thc armies of thc Coufcdc
racy, or who have givcu aid and comfort
to the enemy, are excluded from voting
for a term of six years, after which they
may be rehabilitated by petitioning the
courts und by giving proofs of loyalty to
