THE HOWE QUESTION.
Elsewhere in this’ pajter, wc print two
letters, one rom Rev. Mr. Collteh and
the other from Rev. Mr. Tuttle, in both of
which our views, expressed a few days ago,
in relation to the extreme caution to bo ob
served in the disbursement of the bounty
of the charitable, and the pernicious effect
of street-begging, arc heartily indorsed.
Below wc print a note of another charac
ter, about which wc propose to sayn word:
Cmcioo. Nov. SStb, ISCO.
Editor! Tribune!
People who hare believed In thcgcncrol cor
rectness of the ideas that the Tjudcke advan
ces, arc astonished to see that it takes ground
against the exercise of charity for the poor.
Are you not mistaken In the position as-,
sained a few davs ago in on article entitled “A
Home Question?” It seems hard that thcglv-
Itnr of a crust of bread, at the door, to a poor
child, is a crime. Possibly you arc right.
Voun, Clericcs.
” Clcricu ” labors under a common mis
apprehension in regard to the whole mat
ter in question. It is no crime to give aid
lo the poor ; but it is a direct encourage
ment of laziness, drunkennes, shiftlcssncss
to exercise no discrimination in giving even
to them. The city has Us full share of
lamilies with whom begging andldlcnessarc
lar preferable lowork; and such never fail
lo take advantage of the inclinations of the
1 cacvolcnt and hang themselves like leech
es upon their bounty, until at length, they
learn to think that it is their right to be
Mipported. To such, in nine eases out ol
ten, the ragged and dirty children sent out
beg belong; and as long as those chil
dren bring home what is re pitied for the
support of the households to which they
are respectively attached, just so long will
ail the incentives to a life of industry, ccon
o.uy and self denial on the part oi Ihcpa
i v.us, be of no avail. The danger then It
n it in giving an imposter a meal which he
h:; ihc money to buy; but that under this
iiL-iakcu charity, which nearly all families
i'laciicc, there will grow up a class of
men and women, who with their
children early trained to falsehood and
t!ic:t, will become permanent charges upon
public bounty, and constantly magnify the
evil of mendicity which all sensible men
me anxious to cure. This is the reason
why soup-houses, the pels of charitable
w mien, arc unmitigated nuisances that
‘•..gin to be suppressed bylaw. The loafer
wijo can count with certainty that his din
ner lor the day will come from the public
* mp-kettlc, will not go to his work in the
m truing. The drunken mother, who needs
ft; 1 whiskey the dime that should buy com
m -d, will scad her ragged daughter lo the
s,.up-house with a bucket to bring home
t Ik* day’s food, while she betakes herself to
tie grocciy for the wherewithal for another
d.hunch. And all who would rather lie
mul beg than work, will, with a few lo
wham the daily meal comes asa God-send,
he oj hand whenever the steam from the
soui-kettle begins to rise, No, believe us.

THE I’UaEiTENED DANGER.
We would not disguise from oar readers
t'ac fact that tiic sentiment of Hie extreme
South is rajiidly concentrating itself for an
united cllort that will break up the Union
of these States, and form, out of sovereign
ties that have heretofore been an unit, two
or more discordant and possibly warring
nations. Wc l*avc ourselves resisted this
belief ns long as we are able to. Rut now
all the indications in the Southern journals
—even those which set out with strong
conservative and Union tendencies—point
with unmistakable certainty to dissolution,
or, what is less probable, a surrender ol all
the vital points in the annoying controver
sy, -on the part of the North. It was
hoped, nay, believed, when the commotion
first attracted the attention of the country,
that the passions excited and brought into
full play by Lincoln's success, would
speedily be calmed down, and that, after
flie first ebullition of feeling, the danger
wouid pass over and peace be restored.
Rat every day adds to the intensity of the
animosity by which the cotton Slates are
impelled—the madness which has seized
upon the political leaders lias become,
like some other forms ol insanity ol which
t lie books tell us, epidemic, and we are
forced to confess that a few short weeks
have sufficed to draw all forms of modera
tion into the turbulent current of hate and
revenge which is sweepin r Over four or
live Slates ol the South. Wc have spoken
ol conservatism, but that makes no figure
in the fray; we have hoped lor n revival of
patriotic endeavor, like that which stayed
rebellion in 18*1 am! viiu 1: "il, Iml fhe

On our part, nothing. The North is on
Constitutional ground. Il haa nothing to
atone fur, nothing to take hack. The
action of the party which will govern il, in
all that has gone by, is that which any par
ly may constitutionally, legally and patri
otically take. In nil that U to come, it
intends no injustice, will countenance no
oppression'nor wrong. With the pastas
il is, and with the future as we would shape
it, let us be content Tito danger to the
Union is from neither. Thai arises from
the arrogant pretensions of the minority,
who, by clamor and threats, would defeat
the people’s will, and thereby set at nought
the only principle upon which the govern
ment can live. It is clearly the duly ofthc
Republicans to remain as they arc—to in
vite no controversy, and to slum none.
They arc not the aggressors; they arc not
tiic traitors. They can afford to wait and
watch the development of events; and with
the consciousness of the magnitude of the
crisis, and the value of the vast interests of
which they arc guardians, forma dclilicr

and to the cause of Freedom requires.
Firm in the rectitude of their intentions,

dents which have almost the force of Con

possession of power; happy in the choice
of men by whom lUcir power will be wield
ed, —they can afford to be calm. Let trea
son bluster. The day of reckoning will
come.
BONDED tVAUE-noCSES.
The telegraph told us yesterday, among
the Washington rumors and guesses, that
Mr. Cohb, Secretary of the Treasury, is
about making a move for abolishing the
bonded •ware-house system, on account of
', practical injury to the revenue. If that
jffleer had since his elevation to place, in
dead of fanning the flames of secession,
>ccn more mindful of his duties, the sys
em of which he now complains would
mve been abolished by the last Congress.
Jut even now, though late, the West will
icccpt his labors, and thank him for what
it accomplishes in the direction in which
he telegraph points him.
Among the legislative contrivances for
icrcasing the importation of foreign mer-'
handisc, hence magnifying the foreign
ebt arid largely Increasing the shipments
gold, these bonded ware-houses are the
st pernicious. If that were their only
feet, their injuries to the common proa,:
;r ity might he borne; but it was long ago
imonstrated that they are agencies by
hich the legitimate dealers, who sell their
■n importations of good quality, are
broken up and ruined. We understand the
system to work like this: An Importer in
New York sends Ms orders abroad for cer
tain quantities and styles of the merchan-
disc in trhlch he deals. They are
filled and the goods are sent for
ward. As eosn as the trado season
Is over, manufacturers of all kinds, tempt
ed, by reasons wMch are obvious, to keep
their establishments in operation,'make up
inferior goods for chance markets, content
if they are sold at cost, or perhaps a trifling
loss. These arc sent to America by the
ship load. They come from Manchester,
Birmingham, Staffordshire, Lyons, Paris,
and all the .other sources of supply, and
when landed are thrust into a bonded ware
house, where, by law, they may remain a
year, duties unpaid. They arc consigned
usually to some auction bouse, with orders
to sell at discretion. The result of all is
that the regular importer finds in the man
ufacturer, of whom he has just purchased,
his most active competitor in the market.
Almost as soon as his cargoes arrive, the
inferior goods begin to come in; and
while he, in his office, is endeavoring to
sell at a profit, the auction houses arc offer
ing wares from the same forges, looms, or
workshops, almost identical in appear
aacc but inferior in quality, for what they
will bring under life hammer. It is easy
to see the effect of that But as it concerns
the importer more titan any one else, wc
may not complain, if he is satisfied. The
constant temptation wMch the system holds
out to excessive importation by men who
have credit hut no money, is that wMch
makes the question one of national impor
tance; and, on that account, wc mist that
Mr. Cohb mav meet with success.
THE WHOLE ARGUMENT.
Tiic Chicago Time*; in its yesterday’s
issue, enters upon an explanation of the
deeds of violence—lynching, banishing,
tarring and feathering—now common in the
Southern States, as practiced upon persons
suspected of northern political leanings.
It says:
•• The nature of slave property is such that It can
be easily excited to violence and blood by the tam
pering* of the incendiary. It in difficult to detect
who really do tamper with slaves; and so serious
and alarming are the consequences oftocnintcr
medddii". that in times of agitation and excite
ment, wneii the lives of whole communities arc at
tin* mercy of secret political emissaries, prompt,
and sometimes lawless and unjust measures arc
taken to avoid the evil.**
Why then, wc ask, Is it sought to spread
an evil of so alarming a nature over new
territory? This is exactly the issue on
which the Republicans triumphed in the
recent election. This is exactly the ques
lion propounded to the people of the United
States by the Chicago Convention when
Lincoln and Uamlin were placed in nomi
nation. If “the nature of slave property
“ is such that it can be easily excited to
“ violence and bicod by the tamperings of
“ the inccndiaiy,” why in the name of his*
toiy, of reason, of common sense, is it
nought to extend slaveiy to Kansas or New
Mexico ? Why is it sought to allow it to
extend itself there? If South Carolina,
Alabama and Texas arc built upon a vol
cano liable to scatter death and desolation
at any moment, why should wc permit
Arizona or Nebraska to erect their social
systems on new volcanoes, to upheave the
continent at some future day?
For pushing steadily forward to the con
summation of the sole purpose of stopping
the growth of this dangerous and inflam
mable element, the Republican party has
been reviled and denounced, to the extent
of its ability, by the Chicago Timet. Hav
ing elected a man to the Presidential office
who is committed to tins wise and benefi
cent work, and to nothing more radical, the
Timet justifies the crime of disunion os a
remedy, not for the evil, but for the good
that has been accomplished! la there any
thing more utterly wild and incomprehen
sible ? It is admitted that a state ol society
prevails at the South which makes mob
law a necessity, to preserve the whole so
cial system from conflagration and
ruin. It -will be admitted, we
apprehend, that neither mob l**w nor
:my other law, can perfectly insure
a structure so compounded of the elements
of self-destruction. 'Wise and careful men
may so manage a powder magazine or a
steam boiler that it shall not explode and
kill eyeiybody within a hundred yards of its
circumference; but magazines do explode,
and boilers do burst, and slaves do cut
tbeir masters’ throats, in spito of the most
watchful vigilance. What shall be said,
then, of the statesman, the politician, the
public teacher, who seeks to extend, or to
allow to be extended, an institution wholly
baneful, unjust and injurious in itself,
which carries in its bosom the weapons of
such terrible havoc to the people among
whom it exists ?
THE VITAL POINT.
Men and newspapers talk so much of
■‘slavery,” the “slavciy question,” “slave
ry extension” and the like, that the words
cease to convey to hearers and readers, the
ideas which should properly attach to
them. In thousands of minds, slavery be
comes a concrete thing, which familiarity
has made tolerable, not a series of individ
ual outrages and wrongs, every one of
which would move to tire deepest indigna
tion the vciy men in whom slavciy in the
abstract excites no emotion. This truth
was never more clearly brought out than
in the present crisis; and never were the
American people in more danger of forget
ting the enormity of the institution than at
ibis moment when its aspect is more hor
rible and repulsive than ever before. Let
it be remembered always that slavery is a
system by which men and women are
bought, sold, and compelled to lives of
unrequited toil; that it is in its foundations
a denial of all abstract and inalienable
right of man to himself; that it is Atheism
reduced to practice; and that the extension
and indefinite perpetuity of this system,
under the authority and by the sanction of
the Federal government in such away that
none shall deny its usurped rights arcGod
givon, hence sacred, arc theonly conditions
upon which, according to the secessionists,
peace between the North and the South
can be permanent. With these facts in
mind, the Norib will not hesitate whal
to do.
PEKSONAL,
The Manchester (N. IL) Atneriean Icarus that
the usually sound ami excellent health of
Franklin Pierce, who our readers will remem
ber was President of the United States a few
years since, suddenly gave way on the morning
of election day, thus unfortunately depriving
him of the opportunity of manifesting hie
choice between Douglas and Breckinridge for
the Presidency. The American, however, is
“happy to learn that his disease tookeo favor
able a 1 urn that the next morning he was about
town, as well as usual.”
Capt. Berry, of South Carolina, is a fierce
patriot, as can easily be seen from the remark
he made; “I would rather be hung in South
Crrolina,” said he, “than die a natural death in'
any other State."
—Samuel Ellsworth, Jr, a young gentleman
admirably qualified for the position, says the
Lafayette Journal, has been been appointed
conductor on the Chicago Cincinnati Ex

resigned his place to go into other business.

We arc enjoying a fine little snow storm to
day, and have received several such visitors
from tbo clouds during the last two weeks.
At one time the snow was nearly a foot deep
in places, but remained on the ground but a
short time. To-day it has been falling con
stantly, but the atmosphere is so mild it melts
away nearly as fast as it falls. Out-door labor
ers arc as marry and busy ns usual, laughing
as the saucy little flakes strike them in the
face.
The post week has been ouc of unusual
quiet The bo wic knife and Ihe revolver have
had almost undisturbed repose. The busi
ness houses of the. city have been receiving
large stocks of goods, and the auctioneers
have been busy telling stock, provisions, &c.
Trade with the merchants lias been doll, on
account of tbo numberless little freight trains
that arc now selling out their loads in almost
every place In the mountains. Theatres and
saloons arc doing a moderate business In their
line, and tho gamblers occasionally find one
who “badjustoslicfloseasnot”
During the week the Legislature met. The
attendance was light, but an organization was
made, and the message of the Governor re
ceived with the propcrformalitles. The mem*
bers seeing the divisions in the household, the
many little governments songbt to he insti
tuted where even one was too feeble to stand,
thought wisdom and prudence dictated an ad
journment; proper regard for the pecuniary
interests of their pockets said adjonru, and
consequently they adjourned until other and
more auspicious developments, or cooler
weather, should nerve them to their duty.
Fears were entertained by some that wc
might be placed on short allowance of provis
ions before Spring, but they now see plenty
smiling them in the face. Bacon, especially,
was very scarce, :md they feared they might
be compelled to use Jewish abstinence from
that dainty morsel: but it,like everything
else at present, is abundant. Some thought
flour would command $lO, at least, by this
time, but yesterday it was offered by the hun
dred sacks at SB. Everything in the provision
line is low for this market, considering the ex
pense of overland freight, and the stocks on
hand arc so heavy, they must rulo low during
the winter; and as thousands are contemplat
ing going into the freighting business in the
Spring, wc shall have plenty*, aud low prices,
hi the future.
This year agriculture ami gardening received
comparatively littlealtcnliou. It was thought
by many there was little ground in this coun
try that could bcrendcrcdproductive with the
aid of irrigation, and none without it. It was
deemed a great misfortune that some of the
fertile soil laying alongside the streams should
have been deposited in a country where there
was little rain during most of the year. The
sight of onions weighing two and a quarter
pounds each, of potatoes weighing a pound
and a quarter each, beets weighing six and
seven pounds, and almost every other kind of
root and vegetable growing on this soil to a
•Izc surpassingalmost every thing in the Slates
has wrought a material change in opinion.
Extensive preparations are being made to ex
tend the broad acres to be cultivated the
coming season.
The hay trade is becoming a very profitable
aid extensive branch of business. All the
teams used in the mountains for hauling wood
and quartz for the mills arc fed on hay hauled
from the valley. Teams arc now drawing hay
in some Instances a distance of sixty miles,
and the average distance will exceed forty
miles. It sells at the stack at from eight to fif
teen dollars a ton, and in the mountains brings
from fifty to sixty. It retails in the mountains
at present from 31-2 to 5 cents per pound, and
will run to from 7 to 10 cents by Spring.
In the mines things look as prosperous as
could be expected at this season of the year.
Many lode claims arc being worked success
fully, making miners and millers a fair return.
The millers especially feci a greater confidence
than they have ever had, and every little Im
provement made In the process of goldsaviog,
inspires them with a new hope for a brighter
future. This season has been almost lost in
experimenting, but the outlay of time and
money will be a great saving to those who may
Xmrebasc machinery hereafter.
Wc are pretty well content with the business
prospects and condition of the country, but
arc not fulty satlSQca with the attention paid
*s by the United States Government Al
though we have nearly enough inhabitants to
form a State, and arc engaged in the laudable
pursuits of life, seeking to Increase the treas
ure of our country, we hardly receive as much
official notice as would the escape of some
poor unfortunate bondsman, who might have
got away from a cruel task-master. Wc arc
maklug roads, building bridges, erecting mills
and machinery, opening mines, improving
lands, building towns that must soon expand
into populous cities, and have no 'other show
of title to the soil than' that of possession,
Indian depredations have been committed up
on us and may be again, but I fear we may
hope for but little notice from the present ad
ministration, unless we can introduce “ Sam
bo ” into the arena.
Our business relations with the distant front
ier towns arc very extensive. Our former
homes were in the different States; our friends
are there. We need a frequent, rapid and
cheap mode of conveyance for communication,
other than through private enterprise. The
present arrangement for an United Slates
mail is admirable. Letters for this point re
main a reasonable time at Julesbcrg, and those
going to Golden City and the Mountains arrive
hereon Saturday, and lay here until tire next
Friday, in order to give the Postmaster ample
time for distribution, and that sad intelligence
may not be crowded forward at too rapid a
rate.
"We live in a society made up from every
class and condition in life. Priests and law
yers, doctors and merchants; those who arc
honest, and those who steal. We have rob
bers and murderers, gamblers and pickpockets.
We need laws, effective laws, for the govern
ment of all these. We need an authorized
government with sufficient strength to restrain
and punish the offender and protect the inno
cent—afford ample prelection to person and
property.
Wo arc exceedingly gratified with the elec-
tion returns from the States, and trust the re
cent Republican victory may prove lire pres-
tige ofa brighter political day to us. Wo have
every confidence in the integrity and ability
of him who has slain the “Giant,” and doubt
not ha will make a President worthy of the
American people; that by his firmness, impar-
tiality and careful watching over the interests
of all, he will put an eternal quietus on the
noisy bluster of Southern fanatics; that he
will again gather together tire silken cords
that bind us into a sisterhood of States ;—the
North and the South shall be forgotten, and
know none but our common conntrv
In the strong bonds of the Union, yours,

the mammoth warehouse of J. B. Doyle A Co.

[Correspondence Chicago Tribune.]
Sr. Lome, Kov. 21, isco
I have just learned by a Idler from (be inte
rior of Kansas, that fraud, which Inu been so
prolific in that soil, is likely to bring forth
still another rich harvest, notwithstanding the
unprecedented drouth of the last season, of
which some keen political partisans will be the
reapers. A rumor is afloat that a contract has
been recently let, secretly, at the Indian olllcc,
forthc building of two hundred Indian cabins,
at thesmhll sum of one-hundred Vtousand dollars
—fire hundred dollars apiece— for the Sac and
Fox Indians, really not worth more than otic
hundred dollars apiece at the outside. It seems
strange that the Indian Department should
have allowed itself to be overreached, and to
have made such a contract at this lime, and at
this season of the year, for these cabins will
have to be built this winter: hut there appears
to he a fatality about the present administra-
tiou in financial matters, indeed, it looks very
much as if they were determined thatiflhcv
cannot keep the Gorernmcnt themselves, they u-Hi
leave nothing when they go out tokeip it— a cause
the funds' am exhaust. - ’: Had the usual mode'
been pursued, and public notice been given for
th* building of these cabins, there is not a
doubt but that they would have been contrac
ted for at less than SIOO apiece—but in that
event political favorites would not have bagged
the neat sum of fSO.OOO in clean cash. The old

A HOME QUESTION.
Letters froa' and Rev. Mr.
Tattle.
MR. COLLYEU’B LETTER.
Editors of Chicago Tribune
Gxktlkmes Will you allow mo room for
a few tacts to follow your suggestive article,
“ A home question," in the paper of the 27th r
My office has brought home to me, os to others
in our different city missions, u surer knowl
edge of these things than can be derived in
any other way.
1. There bus been this fall a greater demand
for bands, bolb in tbc city and the country,
than I bare ever known before siuct I took
charge of this Ministry; audjthere have been
fewer applications in the some time for work
to do. When 1 printed a note in your paper
tbc other day, that I bad a man and his wife
to work together on a farm, the number of
applications for them was astonishing. 1 be
lieve no man who can leave tbc dtyaud go ou
a farm, qr into a saw mill, need -sutler or let
his family rotifer. My experience of suffering
bus been more In those families where tbeman
has douc something better than he can get to
do now; and in whom even love for his chil
dren, has not taught him to give up and come
down until he cun do better, or who has lost
the power to do so. Our c»ty is singular in
Us vast population and its few factories of
any kind. Great numbers of meu am get
plenty to do, while the season lasts, but when
that is over, all is over! Only yesterday, a
delicate looking German man came to me uud
said: 44 Sir, can you llud me any work to do *
“ I have to play some time every year. Lust
“year we hod a great mbfortune; it has taken
“me all the summer to get clear and save a
“very little I tamoi work i.ntl 1 spring,
“and I must find something to do, or we will
“ starve.” If such a man as that had to rough
It in the country, he would die.
2. There has been, and is now, a great de
mand for any girl big enough to wash a dish or
mind a baby, and for any boy over ten years of
age. Some demand in tbc city, more In the
country. It is pitiful at the best to see those
children clothed in three coats of ragsandfour
of dirt, scudding with their baskets from oue
door to another even* day. Worse, when we
know so well what bright homes and school
houses arc waiting for them, where they may
sit clothed and in their right mind. Worst of
all.when we know that the thing which stands
like an iron door to stop their entrance and
keep them in that growing degradation, is the
£ood but careless pity of the kind hearted.
I would say to the pitying: Take the trouble
to find out the condition of those vou help.
Not long ago, a clean, hearty looking boy came
to me os I stood reading the papers in our
reading room, and told u sad tale of how
ins father had gone to Memphis, and died
thereof the fever; and his mother was left
with five children. Ue consented to show me
his home. I found la it a very stout, red faced
woman, and some little children; but found,
also, by a clue I had, that the husband and
lather had steady employment iu a lumber
yard m this city. I judge the boy was sent to
beg to get rum for the mother. lam sure
any one of my fellow workers in the Cilv
Missions, as also myself, will be glad to look
into any one of those at once and report to
those interested as to their need of relief
b. But there Is still a field broad enough for
allllmt the generous can do: the sick, the
aged, the widow and the unfortunate are the
poor we have always with us. The mute ap
peal of many of these is far stronger than the
most clamorous petitions of the beggar. These
will not beg, and sometimes they will starve!!
not eared for. A woman came to my office a
lew ilays ago and said, “Sir, I heard that von
“had wood to sell at cost twice, and if you
* have, can I get some?” When 1 said, we

address, went to her rooms and got her histo

two children, one lame. She had some little
means—with her needle she madea little more;
and so she has kept the home together. AVhal
she had at first is almost done; the wood will
make a fearful holi* in it. She made a most
touching attempt to convince me that she was
not in want; but, said she, “I thought J
“ would come to see about that wood; I want
“to make things hold out. Ifl can keep the
children at school a little longer, I know
44 they will be able to help me then; but I can
4,not do as well ns I did. Wbea I sit close to
my sewing, I get all of a tremble.” When J
noted her weakly look, and thought of the
burden she had borne, lo! these six'years, and
the mighty work she had done, I did not
wonder that she should tremble. Last week a
woman of foreign speech come to tell me how
a neighbor was very* sick and poor. I found
the place with some difficulty, and found a
woman of middle age far gone iu a tierce con
sumption; she hadthrccchildrcn—one dan-li
ter sadly crippled, and two hoys. The
room was of a most surpassing clean
ness. These people were only known a.
sufferers to their church (Norwegian), which
had generously given them such a collection
as it could raise. This womaujhad supported
her children ever since her husband died In
going out washing. I suppose this brou-ln

was trying, in the intervals of her cough, to do
some tewing they had taken in, and thatwat
their dependence. A lady that I told of their
ease, going lo see them, told me sho had the

had tho true shrinking of a delicate mind from
any investigation into their poverty. I have

LETTER FROM REV. MR. TUTTLE.
Editors Chicago Tribune:
Your article of the 271h Inst, on the sub
jcct of relief to the poor, excry word of which
is true, would seem to invite au answer as to
the best method of relieving the truly needy,
and warding off impositions. With eight
years constant experience iuallcvlatingsuijl-r
--mg humanity, I presume to give a few hints
on this difficult subject, premising that Kn
own sad experience witnesses to all you have
so pointedly said on this “Home Question;**
and were it not that now and then wc do lin'd
gratitude, and do sec good fruits arising from
systematic benevolence, we should abandon it
m despairforever. Want,from various causes,
compels the poor to seek for charily, property
alms, from those who are better olfthan them
solve*. It may arise from accident, such as
the death of the provider, or from sickncs*. or
from idleness and crime outhc part of parent*
The response to the lirsl appeal is always
met with sincere gratitude on the part of tin*
recipient. If worthy, it has Its cflect to help
the poor to help themselves, and bridge over
an appnling chasm to them. Rut, if a reason
ahl* prospect opens for a larger supply (often to
their extended vision unlimited), they will *'o
on, tiring out the llrst benefactor, and soon
picking up a new one, based upon the orMml
need, and soon the story grows with repeti
tion, until falsehood blends with the true and
the false,, so that it is difficult to separate the
two and apply the remedy. Except in ca*es
of chronic sickness, tim e is no uosou iclnj th<

God docs not Intend the poor alwavs to be

the kingdom of God and His righteousness
all these (needful) things shall !»• added unto
us.’’ In other word**, if a man leads an up
right, Christian life, he will generally be able
to live decently, as a Christian should.
To illustrate this—the pauperizing eOeei of
undertaking the entire snpport“of poor
famines, a clerical friend tells me that
his custom was as follows, viz* to
lind out such poor families as iv<i b,•
in his neighborhood, and then pension the
most deserving fsnnilies upon .-ome kind
hearted, wealthy families of his church—say

Mrs. .Tones; Mrs. Pearl Necklace voii will pro

such a plausible scheme of providin'* for the
needy 1 No sooner was the constant stream of
charily opened, than it was supposed alwav
to run and increase in larger measure with
time. That lirst necessity soon became to be
an aatual, lixed fact, and so work was consid
ered good only now and then as a sort ofiras
time. hen such begin, as soon they will, to

Speech of Hon. Richard Tates.
At the Republican Jubilee, held at Spring-
Held, on the 20th inst, our Governor elect,
Hon. Richard Tates, was one of the speakers.
After alluding in eloquent terms to the results
of the great victory, he continued:
But we arc told the South will not submit,
and that the Union is to be dissolved. Do
you want my advice on this subject > Then,
.ill 1 have to say is, keep coot [Laughter and
applause.] When the children of Israel, hotly
pursued by Pharaoh and bis horsemen and
chariots, were encamped upon the Red Sen,
they murmured. Moses said unto them,
u Fear ye not; stand still and see the salvation
of the Lord.” [Applause.] lam glad to see
Republicans cool on this question, and 1 infer
from the tone of the press that they arc cool
everywhere, from Old Abe down to the
humblest Republican in our ranks. [“That’s
so,” and applause.] I met a Democratic friend
the other day, and he seemed to be annoyed
because I did not seem to partake of the sensa
tion. [Laughter.] So’for, nothing has oc
curred which we had not a right to expect
before the election.
„ We knew there were classes of men in the
South who were for disunion—some who de
sired a re-opening of the African slave trade
md the diminution in the price for negroes—
some politicians of the South, who. faming of
promotion in the Union, are hopeful of prom
inence at the head of a new confederacy—and
a large class everywhere who arc flllibusters,
and ready for any revolution in which they
might have a chance to improve thclrfortuucs.
In tlie North, also, we had a long list of Dem
ocratic journals and orators, who, to defeat Mr.
Lincoln’s election, indfloadcdtbelandandthe
whole South with gross misrepresentations of
his opinions and designs. Then came fulmln
ations from Wall street and heavy houses of
I trade in our large cities? more alarmed for the
; safely of Southern indebtedness, Southern
trade, and the price of stocks, than for any
fear of a dissolution of the Union.
I confess I liave tint little lean? of secession
or disunion. 1 take the bluster of a few hot
■spur- of the South us hut little indication of
Southern tcmimeut. The pugnacious little
State of South Carolina has been talking about
disunion ever since she came into it. And
though a few Senators, Postmasters and Judg
es have resigned, yet no Federal law Inis been
resisted, no fort has been seized, and the col
lection of the revenue has not been obstruct
ed. The Southern lire-calers have not yet
iooked all the difficulties incident to an inde
pendent national organization hi the face, and
have not seen, as they will soon see, that there
Is not an evil of which they complain which
will not be magnified intiiuitcly out of the
Union. South Carolina, with scarcely more
men and resources than this Congressional
District; why, she would starve out; her bonks
would suspend; hermarketswould be cut oil’;
and her people, home down by poverty and
taxation too grievous to be bonic, would very
soon knock at our doors for rc-admisslon into
the Union.
As to a manifesto from Mr. Lincoln to quiet
the fears of the South. I say never, never.
[‘•Never, never;” and loud applause.] Mr.
Lincoln is not responsible for the excitement.
Let those who have kindled it put it out. Mr.
Lincoln will say nbthiug to the South which
ho has not already said. He will not budge
irom the principles laid down in his speeches
and the Republican platform. [Applause.] He
will be mild but firm. lie will have great die*
position for conciliation, but none for compro
mise. “He will stand in courageous fldelitv
to the Constitution, the Republican platform,
and the Declaration of Independence. If the
madness of ambition precipitate disunion and
edvil war, he cm sav with a clear conscience
lie Is lu no wise responsible for it. [“That’s
so.] He has again and again declared that he
is opposed to any interference In the atihira of
the Slave States; that the States arc sovereign,
and have the right to own and control their
domestic institutions in their own way;
that while lie regards slavery as an
evil, yet he recognizes the • right of
South Carolina to cherish her institution,
if she desires, and to hold her slaves as
long as she pleases. Ills opinions arc eminent
ly conservative. When asked at Cincinnati
how he would treat the South, his reply was,
•is brothers, and ns Washington and JeUcrson
treated them; and that he advocated no prin
ciple on the slavery question which was not
advocated by Washington, Jefferson and Madi
son. Thousands of Southern people entertain
(•very sentiment of the Republican party; but
our Northern papers, ahd Northern speakers
have been carefully kept out of their Bight.
No mau, no paper is allowed to speak in the
South which docs not denounce Republican
ism as something akin to treason. Demo
cratic orators in the North and in the South
have represented Mr. Lincoln as in lavor of
abolishing slavery in the States; as designing
a warfare upon the institutions of the people
of the slave States—that he was in favor of
freeing all the negroes, and for an unrestricted
political and social equality of the black and
white races. These misrepresentations have
to look forward to the election of Mr. Lincoln
as to a day of jubilee, ami the bright vision of
a happy Caiman, where thev should know op
pression no more, has been flitting through
their imaginations. Now let those who arc
responsible for the excitement in the South
issue their manifestoes. [“Good,” and ap
plause.] Mr. Lincoln will bide his time, lie
:s not President yet. If the South secs fit to
believe these slanders upon Mr.Lmcolu's views
and designs, Democratic orators and presses in
the North and South arc responsible for the
hostile position and treasonable demonstra
tions of the South; and let thoseleaders issue
their manifestoes, recall their infamous slan
ders, and if they will not do this, let the con
sequences of their acts he upon their own
heads. [Applause.]
Will it not be u sad commentary upon our
»rec institutions, a'sad termination of the
Government of our fathers, If the Union
which they formed Is to lie dissolved for no
other reason than that a majority of the peo
ple have elected a President, whose crime is
that he proposes a recurrence of those princi
ples which our fathers, fresh from the bloody
Helds of the revolution, proclaimed to the
American people ns the true and solid basis of
our national prosperity. I am for one prepared
to say that it the Union is to be »issolvcd for
any such reason, it is time wcwe.„ knowing
ii. [“Right,” “right,” and applause.] It is
tunc the question was tested. Whether the
South really intends to dissolve the Union or
not ,the results of the late election have inform
ed her that the independent judgment of the
American people cannot he coerced by inso
lent threats of secession or disunion to vote
fur other than the man of their choice. Now
the time has arrived when the American
people arc to know whether they arc to have
tbe President of their choice, elected in ac
cordance with the Constitution. Let us know
lor once aud forever whether a majoritv or
minority shall rule. Let us know whether
the millions of freemen in this nation are to
get on their knees to Slaveiy at every Presi
dential election. [Applause.]
Wc know what Mr. Lincoln’s Administra
tion wilt be. We believe it will not be one
year till tbe whole South, except the traitors
bent ou disunion any how, will hail the elec
tion of Mr, Lincoln as one of the greatest
blessings. [“Good,” and applause.] Without
encroaching upon tbe rights of any State, the
t edcr.il Government will withhold support to
slavery in the Territories, and opjioso its ex
tension, and the re-opening of the African
slave trade. This will be an end to the slavery
question. Indeed, the Republicans arc the
best friends of the South —they guarantee to
the people of the slave States every constitu
tional right, but claim tor the Territories the
1“ ”>cy wulcli their own great statesmen inaugu
rated, uml say that this great evil, the source
o: a’l our troubles, shall not be further spread
into m.r Territories to curse aud degrade them
a: d ;Uir children, and us and our children, for
a thomsmdyears to conic. We hold out to
them the olive branch of an eternal peace; of
a..perpetual, unbroken union. [Applause.]
Give Mr. Lincoln’* Administration but a fair
trial, mid the South would soon settle down
m the enjoyment of all her constitutional
rights; slavery extension and the slave traffic
would cease; all the laws would he faithfully
enforced; luinuony would be restored, and a
bright and eternal sunshine of union and
peace smile ou all the hillsides aud valleys of
the land. [Applause.]
I cannot speak for Mr. Llncolu, nor do I
know the emergencies he has to meet, but I
have every confidence iu his ability to meet
whatever crisis may come. I have known him
100 long and too well to doubt cither his pru
dence or Jus courage. I know that even* de
sire of his heart is for peace, hut, if occasion
di'inamls, South Carolina will Cud in him the
true metal, the fire and Hint, the pluck of old
Hickory himself. (Tremendous applause.] I
would disdain to utter Hie words of the mere
political braggart, but, then, I do say, that
while the most abundant cantion should be
used and the olive branch of peace and concili
ation should be extended, yet the election of
a i resident by a majority of the people is no
excuse tor treason, and that all the power of
the government should be brought to bear to
crush it out wherever it shall rear its unsightly
head. [Loud applause.] 6 3
; For a quarter of a ccutury or more have ccr
tam malcontent* of the South, to subserve tbe
rile purposes of personal ambition, set at
naught the lessons of Washington and calcu
lated the value of the Union, ’Non* let It he,
from this time henceforth, the United senti

stand up for the right. We can recollect when
wc were denounced as abolitionists, and our
names cast out as evil, for the uttcranceof the
most patriotic and mtmly sentiments, but true
to our principles ana our country, we have
lived to see that feeble minority become a ma
jority, and truth, liberty, and the right glori
ously triumph. And I say to my Republican
friends to-night, your triumph Is great because
you have elected the man President who dared
to plant himself with a feeble majority on the
side of truth. [Applause.] You rejoice be
cause you yourselves have dared, for the sake
of principle, to face the false epithets of aboli
tionist and negro equality. And I am glad to
say I have found it to be true, that if a man
plants himself on truth and the right, and with
resolute and unfaltering purpose pursues it,
time und patience are only required to bring
tbc American people to adopt It, and to re
ward him with* sure and glorious triumph.

which places Itself on the immutable princi

Farewell Speech of Governor Banka.
Governor Banks, on the point of lea\iug b:5
native town, Waltham, for the West, was hon
ored last week by his fellow townsmen with a
banquet, at which he made some very felicitous
and touching remarks. The Boston Journal
says:
Excellency,ln responding to the remarks
of Mr. Kutter, rose underthe influence of deep
emotion, which for sevcralminutes choked his
utterance. He finally obtained control of hi«
feelings, and addressed the assembly.
There were many things necessari'Jvcrowdcd
upon his mind and upon the minds of the
members of his family, when they came to the
| sudden resolution to change their home; to
I pus# away from the scenes of his bovhoodand
I the associations of mnturcrlife, and from the
j associations of unparalleled confidence ami
support which, Iq later years, he had received
•from the citizens of his native town. But in all
tliis It had not occurred to him or his family
that such a meeting as this was to greet them.
He only desired to say for himself and his wife
that it was impossible to expresstheir feelings
or what crowded on tbcirmimls in tints taking
leave of Waltham people. : ®
. Jlc said that at times his life had heed passed
m conflict with masses of people, and that
there were moments, when lie, like others,
seemed to stand alone, without counsel and
without friends. Bin the approval of his
course by his fellow-townsmen liad always
sustained him, especially when presented in
the graceful and unqualified manner in which
the chairman and other gentlemen liad been
pleased to address him. He bad always sought
to do right by all iticu, ami to deal out an
equal and exact justice to all. Such had been
his purpose, and to this object he attributed
his success in life. The life he had led was not
sueh as he would have chosen. His course of ,
life was purely of accident, and he dared to I
say to his fellow townsmen, to the people of I
his own home, that apoliticalcarccrhadncver j
been his ambition. His aim was to engage in
the profession of the law. He did not desire
to pass in review of the scenes through which
he had passed, but in every position of honor
in which he had been pLiccd as servant of the
town, county, State, and nation, be bad per
formed his duties with the thought that even*
act might be Ids last. He bad been called up-
on id many trying coses, and desired to net
justly toward all, and he took to himself the
pride that in the country’ he loved, uud in the
commonwealth he adored, his own nat've
town had not suffered in what he had done.
He adverted to t&a Beenes of bis bovhoo.l.
The town in which fay had lived had alwavs
lelt pleasant impressions on his mimL Its sil-
very streams, its beautiful highlands, its hand
some structures, and the iactorv, the first
scene of his induction into active life, had all
mode lasting impreetdons upon his mind.
Then there were his associates, young men and
young women. Aud while he remembered the
present, he could not forget those who slept
the sleep of death, and those that were scat
tered far aud wide. The boys of bis voiitb.
J 'f u . u S meu, tUudi him. from the cximti
encc of later yean, as being 01 uo muiiiall
character, and to them he paid a high tribute
lor honesty and industry wherever they mWht
now be found. lie hoped the town of vfal
rl""ii ought always he blessed by such yonn
men.
0., her advantages which Waltham had af
i.irded her citizens were to be acknowledged
aud m this connection he alluded to the com
mon schools, superior in his youth to those in
the vleimly, and Enmford Institute, lie trusl
cd that the fostering care of the town would
still he maintained toward thelaticr. lie well
remembered the lectures which ho was wontto
attend, and spoae of the great influence they
had upon his mind at that time. But he liad
not the capacity at this time to express the
emotions which crowded thick and fast upon
him lie accepted the beautiful present with
which they liad honored him, with grateful sat
isfaction, and said that no moment would
pass m the future in which he would not
recall the memories of ids native town witli
pleasure.
This change in life was unexpected to him
ana to his family unexpected and sudden. In
no position in his after life would he perform
any act derogatory to the high chime ter of the
people of his native town, and would cast no
stain upon his name. With this pledge he ac
cepted the present.
lie desired in hehalfof bis wife to present her
thanks for the beautiful girt from her friends,
and in this connection lie paid a noble Irih-
U,e . and worth of woman,
and alluded to hu wife in the most touchiii'-
J\Vi nd^ lm bo desired to suggest that lie

to trains when they were about to start and
riding as far as the conductors would permit
her to go without paying fare. At the differ
ent stations where she would he put off .he
would beg something to eat, and thus man-

Haute and Greeneastlc she made one stop—
riding with one conductor as far as Brazil and
with another to the crossing of the New Alba
ny and Chirago with the Terre Haute and In
dianapolis Road. At the Crossing Station
just before the train started for New Albany
she got off the station platform, walked aronmi
the rear end of the train and got on the front
platform of the rear car as the train to
move. The result of this movement was-iven
in the paragraph of Saturday. When removed
to a house, where she was made as comforta

Much excitement was occasioned in Fre

She had not been to the house of the nei"hl

I Escape from u Ton Years' Captivity
| with (he Snake Indians*
[From the Muscatine (Iowa) Journal.]
I A man calling himself James I*. Kimball,
accompanied l»y his wife, arrived in thUdtv
I List week, in destitute circumstances, and was
I generously afforded lodging and board at the
1 Pennsylvania House by Mr. Stine. Kimball
I relates that he has just escaped from ten vears’
I captivity with the Snake Indians In Oregon.
| lljb narrative is published in the Jicvieic. 'We
J condense the main facts;
ke left the home of his father. Col.
| AeweM Kimball, of Syracuse, N. T., for Call-
I lonna, by the overland route, in company with
I his taiher-in law nnd three unmarried daugh-
I lers. A\ hen the ]«rty with which hewastrav
ellrur reached Chillicothe Valiev, Oregon, June
15»h, they were attacked by about *I.OOO Snake
indiatis, hut dclemled themselves for several
hours, killing bUU Indians and losingtfi of their
own number, leaving only!) men and 4 women
alive, who surrendered to the savages.
They were taken by the Indians to Mineral
Spring, at the head of Chillicoihe Valiev,
I where a council of twenty-four braves decided
! that they should run the gauntlet. The nest
day Kimball ran the gauntlet twice, with half
an hour’s interval between each time—first lor
his wife and next for himself. The same dav
Mr. Noil, his father-in-law, was also compelled
to run the gauntlet, but was knocked down
before re-aching the centre of the two lines,
when he was sentenced to be burned at the
stake, which sentence w:is put into execution
the same evening, in the presence of the part v.
Another man of the partv was likewise
burned at the stake, after wideh the Indians
proceeded to Faundccr Valh-y, Washington
Territory. The captive* were washed in a
.stream of water by squaws till it was thought
the white blood was all washed out of them,
when the chief adopted them as his children,
irom that time till lifteen months ago, thev
lived with the Indians, wandering with them
through different parts of the country. Kim
ball became their .Medicine Man,” or doctor,
and professes to have learnuil manv remark
able cures for cancer, rheumatism, etc. How
he finally escaped he does not say; but after
fifteen months’ travel lie arrived in this place
last week, and expects to return to New
York as soon as he can obtain the ueees
bury means.
His narrative is a strange one, and we pre
sume it Is true.
Fcitale Boxers.— Some of the earliest no
