- A. PRETTY KETTLE OF FISII. ,
" The New York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer makes' eome rather
astounding revelations. He says under
- date of Dec 23:
Senators Edmunds, Conkling and Mor-
ton, in objecting to an investigating coramlt
' tee, are striving to suppress some racy facts
" that have since leaked out from the New
York Customhouse. One of the partners
in our New York Customhouse general or-
der business had been living for three years
Mith" a lady who was supposed to be his
f rife ; but recently thinking that his position
Slight be strengthened by a real matrimo-
- -nlal alliance, he determined to be married
to another woman. To this the quasi wife
objected, contending that she was by the
laws of New York his lawful spouse. Yet
he married the other woman, and thereupon
the deserted lady, following the example set
by iliss Josephine Mansfield in her war
. with Col. James Fisk, Jr., put into the
-, bands of some of the antagonists of this
i normously-profitable storage and cartage
business a mass of testimony establishing
all sorts of awkward facts which cannot
4 now possibly be suppressed. One of these
facts is that tho profits of the general order
, and cartage business in New York have
been distributed in four shares, of which
i two have been regularly paid over to Gen.
. Horace Porter, one of the illegal Military
Secretaries of the President."
SOUTHERN LIFE POLICIES.
An important decision has been rendered
- by Judge Match "ord, in New York, in a
' "suit growing out of our lata civil war,
brought by Peter Hamilton, as tho executor
of Duke W. Goodman, of Alabama, against
- the New York Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, the points of which are stated as fol
lows :
"The action is brought to recover $5,000
on a life Insurance policy issued to Mr.
Goodman on the 2Jth of March, 1858. It
was dalmed by the defence that the policy
ceased to exist on account of the non-payment
of the annual premium on March 2,
1S62, and that the previous payments were
fot felted to the defendants. TThe plaintiffs
contended that the defendants, by with
drawing all of their agencies from Alabama,
"where Goodman resided, in March,18Cl, pre
Tented the payment by him of his annual
premiums on the policy, and thereby waived
uch payments, all of which became due
'afar tho 16th of August, 1801, the act of
the.defendauts having prevented the pay
ments in Alabama, and the effect of the
war being to make such payments in New
York by Goodman unlawful. The Judge
decided that the. obligation of tho company
was not dissolved by the war, which neces
sarily resulted in interrupting com
munication with the South. Judge
ilatchford concluded that he had
.carefully considered all the views urged by
t; the defendants, and that he was entirely
t j satisfied that the plaintiff was entitled to a
i decree with costs. There is ordered a
reference before a master to take and state
$ an account of the amount due on the policy,
: wun interest, sucu an amount to ue com
I puted on the basis before stated, and the
defendants to be allowed credit for the un
i paid annual premiums."

A PEOHPrER'S DIFFICULTIES.
It is a popular notion tliat, although all
persons may not be endowed with histrion
ic cms, it is open to every lKdy to perform
the duties of a prompter without prepara
tion or study, btill the othce requires
some exercise of care and judgment.
"Here's a nice mess you've got me into."
once said a tragedian, imperfect in his text,
to an inexperienced or incautious prompter.
What am 1 to do now Thanks to you.
've been and spoken all the next act."
And the prompter lias a task of serious
difficulty before him when the actors are
"but distantly acquainted with their parts,
or "shy oi the syls" that is syallables, as
they prefer to describo their condition.
Where have they got to now ?" he has
to ask himself, when he finds them making
havoc of their speeches, missing their cues,
and leading him a 6ort of steeple-cbsae
through the book of the play. It is the
golden rule of the player who i3 "stuck"
at a loss for words to "come to Hecuba,"
or pass to some portion,of his duty which
he happens to bear in recollection. "What's
the use of bothering about a handful of
words?' demands a veteran stroller. "I
never stick. I always say something and
get on, and no one has hissed me yet !" If
was probably this performer who, during
his impersonation of Macbeth, finding him
self at a loss as to the text, after bis com
mencement of his second act with Lady
Macbeth, coolly observed : "Let us retire
dearest chuck and con this matter over in
more sequestered spot, far from the busy
haunts of men. nere the walls and doors
are spies, and every word 13 echoed far and
near. Come, then, let's away! False
heart must bide, you know, wliat false
heart dare not show." A prompter
could be of little service to- a gentleman so
fertile in resources. We read of a useful
property man and scene shifter who was
occasionally required to fill small parts in
the performance, euch, for instance, as the
"cream-faced loon" in "Macbeth," and
who thus explained his system of represen
tation, admitting that from his other occu
pations he could rarely commit perfectly to
memory the words that be was required to
utter. "I tell you how I manage. I in-
wariably contrive to get a reg'lar knowl-
edge-of the natur' of tho ciar-acter, and
ginnerally gives the haudience words as
near like the truth as need be. 1 seldom or
never puts any of you out, and takes as
much pains as any body can expect for two
and six a week extra, which is all I gets for
doing such liko parts as mine. I find
Shakespeare's parts worse to get into my
bead nor any other; ho goes in "and out so
to tell a thing. I should like to know how
was to say all tliat rigmarole about the
wood coming ; and I'm sure my telling
Macbeth as Birnam Wood was a-walking
three miles off the castle did very well.
But some gentlemen is sadly perticular,
and never consider circumstances." Such
players as this must needs bo the despair
of prompters, who mnst often be tempted
to close their books altogether. All the
Tear Round.
"Throw away your cigar, sir," said a por
ter tho other day to a gentleman who was
just entering one of the public buildings
with a freshly lighted cigar in his mouth.
"Bat I have always smoked here," was the
reply. "No smoking allowed; you will
have to throw away your cigar." Tho de
mand was grumblingly complied with, and
five minutes after the gentleman coming
out saw the porter complacently finishing
tho Havana whicn he had been compelled
to cast away.
An old MSS. containing Indian tales.
prepared by one Elan Crane has the follow
ing : "Red Jacket (so well known as the
brave chief of tho Senecas) onco made a
visit to Canandaigua,aud not arriving un
til after dinner, the girl was ordered to
make preparations for him. She, through
carelessness or thinking it would do well
enough for an Indian, placed on the table a
dish 01 meat tnat naa been visited by the
flies. Red Jacket advanced to the table,
and seeing the maggots buily engaged in
the meat, took the dish and placed it on
the sill of the door, stepped back, took his
rule, deliberately took aim and discharged
its contents through the meat. Tho .re
port of a gun alarmed all the house. Thev
ran to inquire tho cause. Red Jacket re-'
plied that he always killed his meat before
he'atelt!" t

South Carolina formerly took a front rank
in the Senate Chamber, her representatives
beinrrunual in-ooint-of ability to those sent
from the other States. The liet .of her for

names. Butfrom a- place among those at

remained in the nrst place: ueiore 'tne
war, If a patriot had proposed running
either of these men for the Legislature,
word would have been sent to the nearest
lunatic asylum, Inquiring if they hadn't lost
an inmate.
As for Virginia, the mother of Presidents,
it is to be regretted that she can not call
back the ghosts of some of her departed
great to represent her now. Messrs. John
son and Lewis are clever gentlemen, but in
healthy and well regulated times the Old
Mother would hardly select them to repre
sent her at the council board of the nation.
If her present Senators are fair specimens
of her statesmen, her tobacco land is not
the only thing that is on the decline.
Alabama used to loom up in the Senate,
but she hangs her rebellious bead in shame
now, and well .she. may, while she is repre
sented by such men as George Spencer. He
is without ability, "and if a fifth of the
charges against him are true, without char-.
acter either. His operations in Alabama as
cotton agent and his transactions with Judge
Busteed, the bribe taker, do not reflect the
more honor upon him the more they are in
vestigated. '
Goldthwaite is a fair man, but will not
make bis mark now. If the stuff bad been
in him to make it, there would havs been
surface Indications of it some time ago. He
has held the office of Circuit Judge, and is
an average lawyer, ijpencers experience as
a "statesman" before the war, began and
ended as assistant clerk or door-keeper of
the Iowa Legislature.
Arkansas is a new State, without the
glorious Senatorial record to look back upon',
as a solace for present feebleness, that some
of the States have. Jven this dubious priv
ilege is denied poor Arkansas. 'Without
much reputation before the war as a Sena
tor sender, sho is not in a fair way to make
any now, and, until she gets Rice and Clay
ton out, her feebleness will be pitiable.
Uow much it cost Clayton to get in cannot
bo stated with precision, but as he had
to buy off the Lieutenant Governor, John
son, at a price of not less than ten thousand
dollars, and three impeachment committee
men, at not less than fire thousand dollars
each, it will be seen that bis seat in the
Senate was an expensive afiair. Some of
ex-Lieutenant Governor Johnson's friends
insisted that the old fellow sold out to Clay
ton for fifteen thousand cash, they wanting
to make it appeal- that he drove a sharp bar
gain, but i think i ue actual sum was some
thing less than that. He looks to mo like a
man who would sell out his satchel of prin-.
ciples any time for ten thousand dollars, on
easy terms, say one-half cash, and the ba
lance in six and twelve months, with in
terest.
As for B. F. Rice, he is a weak Senato
rial reed, even for the weak and helpless
State of Arkansas. His total legislative ex
perience up to the time he entered the Sen
ate, consisted of having served one term in
the Kentucky Legislature. Think of it, ye
gods! A term in the Kentucky Legislature
as a qualification for the United States Sen
ate I It is an estimated distance of only
one step (three feet, if the legs are not too
long,) from the sublime to the ridiculous,
but in this instance Rico has certainly re
versed the proposition and gone from the
ridiculous to the sublime at a leap. From
the Kentucky Legislature to the United
btates Senate at a step, is there another
instance on record '? 1 hope not.
Georgia is the Empire State of the South,
and ought to b well represented in the
Senate, and after seven long years of con
test with tho cirpet-baggera, jobbers and
robbers, she has now upon the floor, yester
day for the first time since the war, two
Senators, honorable and qualified for the
duties of their position. By an extra streak
of good luck, seldom nm upon by a South
ern State since tho war, she has escaped
Blodeett, the notcrious jobber: Farrow, the
rebel saltpeter dirt digger, and "tVbitloy, the
apostate Confederate "Colonel, all of whom
were elected to the Senate by the stupid
and ignorant Legislature.
Norwood was sworn m yesterday, anu,
for Uie first time in ten years, Georgia. Is
fully represented in Congress. Both Nor
wood and Hill are men ot good character.
Hill was a member of Congress before the
war, and was the only one of the delegation
who refused to withdraw and go into the re
bellion. As for Florida, neither of her Senators
ever had any experience in public life until
the commotion following the war threw
them to the surface, and a fortunate eddy
floatedthem into the Senate. Osbornis
from New Jersey, and during the war was
a captain of artillery. Gilbert is from New
York, and went to Florida af er the war
'for the benefit of his health." A good
many others, since the war, have done the
same thing gone South for health; ain't
stand tho Northern climote, you know; but
I notice that a number of them get back as
far north as this city, and manage to wiggle
through a few severe Washington winters.
Kentucky is well represented that is,
sho has men of ability and character as her
servants. Both Stevenson and Davis were
much in public life before their election to
the Senate. In addition to other official
trusts, they have each served two or three
terms in Congress?
W. Pitt Kellogg and J. Rodman West
represent Louisiana. Tho way they sign
their names, as here given, is of itself an
indication of genius. Now, if each would
part bis hair in the middle, and pronounce
paper pa-pau, there would.no longer be any
doubt of their claim to consideration. As
it is, however, their chief merit consists in
the taste they display in displaying their
names. But it is having its effect. mem
ber of Congress from the same State has
profited by the Senatorial example, and now
sports J. Hale Sypher. It is well.
Western Virginia, a fractional mother of
Presidents, is represented by Messrs. Bore
man and Davis. The most remarkable
event connected with their' history 1s the
fact thac they were both born 'the same
year, one in Maryland, and. the other In
Pennsylvania. Boreman's ante-war legisla
tive experience consisted in having been a
a member of the lower branch of the Vir
ginia House of Delegates, while Davis bad
no legislative experience at all, except what
a railroad depot agency would give him, un
til the war came up, and commenced its
work of making great men out of little ones.
Of Texas, not much can be expected, and
those who have the sagacity to expect little
will not bo disappointed. She Is represent
ed by Messrs. Flanagan and Hamilton.
Hamilton began his career as a clerk in the
War Departmeift, and perhaps the country
could have got along in an indifferent sort
of way if he bad never been promoted to the
Senate Chamber.
Flanagan first served his country in tho
capacity of a Justice of the Peace, in Ken
tucky. He administered the law so far as
he was able to read it with great ' firmness
and impartiality. The sacred soilers trem

Afterward, lie went to lex 03, and became

like A. J.'s, ha3 been upward and onward,
although he has skipped several offices in
his Ions strides.
We now come to Tennessee, poor' Ten
nessee, the old "volunteer Sjiate," etc.-
Tennessee used to loom up in t'ae Senate,
ngunng extensively in the mvie tliroustt
her representatives, but the most
of her figuring now is dona
it roll-call and on pay-day. Brownlow and
' Cooper are here. Brownlow is very weak,
physically, and ontirely. played out, politi
cally. But if he were in good, health, and
popular even with a part of any party, bo
would not be the man for Senator. He
made a success Os a preacher at rural camp
meetings, and also as a country editor, the
same qualities being essential to both call
ing, riaraely: A never ceasing ability to pitch
in. Brownlow could always pitch in, 'whe
ther aiming his blows at Democrats or other
sinners. lie was pretty good ia a debate,
too, but not good enough to establish from
the Bible tliat slavery was a Divine institu
tion handed down to us out of heaven by
our Father for our especial profit and con
venience, although he tried very hard. .
Twenty years ago Brownlow ntfght fiave
made a passable Senator, but he is too old
and eeble now. A man who can not rise
in his eat without help is in no proper con
dition to rep:es3nt a great State. The po
sition is exceedingly trying to hi3 prostrate
body and weak nerves, but he sticks to his
seat, for should ho resign, oh! fearful
thought, a Democrat would be elected to
succeed. Let us close our eyes to the mel
ancholy picture and tell Brownlow to stick.
Henry Cooper, elecled over Andy John
son by treachery, is not making any charac
ter a3 a Se'nator. During the war Henry
and his brother Edward were both taken
up by Andrew Johnson and made some
thing tf that is, he made one .t. Circuit
Judge in Tennessee and the other Assist
ant Secretary of the Treasury.
During these tumultuous tiuie3, he look
the Coopers under his "wing, so to speak,
and provided for them, because they had
been life long friends, and because he had
confidence in their ability ami integrity.
In 1800, both the Coopers were elected to
the State Senate, and promised their sup-'
port to Johnson for the United States Sen
ate. They were among his warm support
ers, and Johnson went into that bitter con
test relying implicitly upon their support.
But, alas for weak, human nature the
Coopersjbetrayed their benef.ictor.ia the
last.partof the eleventh bow.,. They were
bought off by the enemy, who.gave Henry
the nomination, and Edmund voted for his
brother against his benefactor. He shed
tears when he did so, which is creditable to
his fine feelings ; but it would have been
more creditable to him to have stood by his
old friend as his old friend hail stood by
him. Thus was Johnson defeated. Some
people have gone so far in their acuteness
of vision as to see a stroke of Providence
in this ; but it looks more like a stroke of
treachery.
North Carolina is represented by John
Pool, Z. B. Vance not having got in yet, and
it is doubtful4if he will. There is something
the matter with hb record some way, but,
to go to the bottom of things, the chief ob
jection, away down, covered up with orato
ry and rubbish is the fact that he is a Demo
crat. If he was truly loyal, 'he would not
find so much trouble in getting into the seat
to which he was elected. It is a great thing
to yell with the largest crowd. Pool is a
"native of the State, and saw service before
the war in the Legislature.
"Missouri is the ablesf' represented of any
of the Southern States, if indeed we may
call her a Southern State. Both Schurz and
Blair take a front rank. There are abler
men in the Senate than either of them, hut
not two from the same State, with the pos
sible exception of Ohio.
From Mississippi we have Ames and Al
corn. Ames represents nothing, and doe3
not fcven live in the State. He went there
as a General in the army, and the negroes
elected him to th Senate. He owns no
property there, I think, and his representing
the State is a farce. He has ability as a
military man, and did good service during
the war, but is not qualified in an eminent
degree for a Senator.
Alcorn is an able man, has been long in
public life, is possessed "of jjt rich fund of
experience, and is identified with the inter
ests of the State he represents to the extent
of owning a good part of one or two coun
ties. He is, perhaps, tho richest man in
Mississippi. His worst enemifs have never
doubted his integrity. - - .
This takes us through tho Southern
States, and wb have failed to stumble upon
a really great man in the whole floor full.

With an enunciation dear as crystal, with
poises graceful ai an ancient statue, and
with emphatic gestures, Dr. Newman pro

theological arguments, the immateriality
and immortality of the soul. After the
service he requires the congregation to re
main seated; he then appoints several gen
tlemen to collect $1,500 in fifteen minutes.
Dr. Newman's style in this particular
is unique. He reads off a certain
number of names, and expects
the gentlemen mentioned to give
fifty dollars each, another set to give twenty-live,
another twenty, and so on to five
dollars: then a basket collection is taken.
