SEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- ORAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. TIMELY WORDS The Whig and Fn er, of Richmond, pub- | lish entire an address delivered before the | Mechanics’ Association, of Danville, Va. a few days since by Major W. T. Sutherlin, who took s prominent part in the proceedings of the State Agricultural Convention in Rich. mond a few months ago, and was subsequently Pominated im some of the newspapers for the governorship of the Old Dominion. The ad- ¥ devoted to timely remark: on gnity of labor, and is thoroughly prac- and tull of good senss. Its perusal by the young men of the South, if they accep: the advice it comtains, will do more to reatore and promote the prosperity of the people than any | number of theoretical and abstract treatises on “State : “Slavery Sanctioned by the Bisie.” e «Superiority of the Caucasian Race,” and other favorite topics in that sec- ton The idea that manual labor is undignified, even degrading, is not the feast of the many evils for which the institution of human sia. very ts responsible; and it is still exerting a baleful influence upon the South. Thousands of young men in tbat section are living in idleness, steeped in poverty, or depending on others; while thousands more are making &@ pretence of work, being engaged in measur- ing tape and other callings, where they earn a mere pittance. If all these would oaly divest themselves of their absurd prejadices ‘@s tothe respectability of this or that calling, | and roll up theirsieeyes aud go to work in | earnest, they would most of them be in inde- pendent positions in afew years, and have the gratification of aiding in the deveiopment | of the immeuse resources of the South, which are now hardly one tenth as pro- guctive as they ought to be For these reatons cyery sensible word spoken as to the dignity of labor, and in opposition tothe absurd prejudice which prevails in the South Sgainst farm hands, mechanics, and laborers is caleulated to do a great deal of good, pariic- ularly when coming frem a Southern man- ‘Those public men in that section who under- take to combat the antiquated notions which bave helped to retard the Prosperity of the People are worthy of all praise. in tbls connection we beartily commend the | Address recently delivered in North Carolina by U.S Senator elect Poole, who spoke boldly and to the point, telling the prople piain terms, that all their present troaoles | came, uot from the Repubhcan party of the Worth, but from their political leaders in the South, who were many of them still engaged in the work of adding to the accumulation of | evils which have oppressed and nearly ruined their followers. This address is one of the | very best Republican electioneering doeu- menic ever promulgated, and should have a wide ctreulation PARLIAMENTARY PRIZE FIGHTERS Commenting on Mr. John M Jtrisey’s en- trance into Congress, English papers remind | thelr public of the fact that the immediate Predecessor of Lord Houghton in the House of Commons was Mr. Jobo Gally, who ear y in life was one of England's cetebrities m the prize ring. Mr. Guily. by the by, made an excellent and very useful legisiator. He fairly earned and enjoyed the respect of all England tbrough the manner in which he dis- charged bis public duties. We may not mappropriately add that no other new member became more popular with the House at the last session than Mr. Morrisey, whose entire demeanor in the Hall ‘Wasa model of gentiemauly dignity, frankness, and modesty. While entirely unobtrusive, he ‘Was among the most attentive of the members, snd displayed an amount of practical sense | nd tactin legislating that would have done infinite credit to members of a dozen years ex- Perience in the Hall. Sty i sae CR APPLICANTS FOR PARDON, Of the applications for pardon now on file | in the Attorney General's office, 153 are from ex-United Sta: army officers, of whom 39 are natives of Virginia: 54 are from ex-mem- bers of the U. S. Congress and members of the rebel Congress. 2= from prominent rebel of- fHicials, and 14 from officers of the rebel army of and above the rank of brigadier general, 21 of whom 4re natives of Virginia. i6of Missis- sippi, 16 of Georgia, 12 of Texas, 10 of Ten- nessee, 7 of South Carolina. 5 of Louisiana, 5 ot Alabama,4of Arkansas. 3 of North Car- colina, 2 of Kentucky, 1 ot Maryland, | of Mis- souri, and 1 of Florida. pr eeneteecteeies THE TENURE OF OFFICE BILL. itis unmdersteod that Mr. Sumner’s resolu- tion (see Senate proceedings) to-day had refer- ence to an opinion of Attorney General Stan- bery, read by Mr. Buckalew in executive | session yesterday, to the effect that the pre- visions of the tenure of office bill were pros- pective only, aud did not apply to vacancies existing at the time the bill was passed. Under this view of the case, should the Sen- ate adjourn without confirming appointments to fill vacancies existing at the time the law Was passed, the President can at once make appointments to fill them. This may cause the Senate to sit until all the vacancies of im- | portance are Glled. HEALTH OF THE PRESIDENT. The President is much better to-day, and ‘wae able ‘o attend to business in his office. Sec- retaries Welles, Browning, McCullech, Attor- ney Generai Stanbery and Postmaster (Generali Randal! had interviews with bim this morn- mg.

It, as does the Mississippi petition, arraigns Con- gress, and contends (hat the act “for the more efficient government of the rebel States” do-s in effect abolish the present State government of Georgia,and confers suffrage on the African race pot provided fer in her_ constitution, while excluding loyal whites. It sets up the plea of unconstitutionality of taxing the State without allowing her representation in Von- gress. and as the President of the United States, the Secretary of War, General Grant. and Major General Pope are the instruments to puc tbe acts of Congress into operation, thus overthrowing the Government of Georgia, the complainant asks that they be restrained from so doing. They ask this in consideration of the premises. that she has no remedy at law | OF any other effec:ual remedy whatever. The petition is signed by Jeremiah S, Black, solicitor for the complainant, and by Jere- miah S. Biack. Robert J. Brent, Edgar Cowan. and Charles O'Conor, of counsel. A certifi- cate is appended by the Governor of Georgia. THE MARYLAND ELRCTION.—The result ot the election in Baltimore yesterday may be briefly stated as follows: For State eonstitu- tional convention, 11.016: against, 913. A majority for the convention of 1.593. For Sunday cars, 10,939; against, 9,065. A majority The total vote cast in the city was 2,139 on the convention, and 19,995 on the car question. The vote falis short of the regis- tered voters ten thousand votes, not withstand- ing the deep interest taken in both the conven- tion and Sunddy-car question. Tae returns trom the State are meazre and scattering.

Sumner said he understood opinions had been given which went far to nullify the recent act of Congress. 1t would thus seem we have nullification here in Washington, in the Executive branch of the Government. He understood that, according to these opinions, the President was to exercise the wer of appointment during the recess of Congres: notwithstauding a recent act of Congress, which undertook to regulate the tenure of office. Now they all knew the astuteness of & coach and six through the recent act of Con- gress; in other words, that it was about to force on the country officers who cannot be officers under the existing law. It seemed to him important that before the Senate adjourned they should know the precise state of the question. They should understand whether apy such opinien bad been given, and the Teasons for it. On that account he introduced the resolution now before the Senate. The resolution was then agreed to. Mr. Anthony reported a resolution to print two thousand copies of the Army Register for 1-66 This was amended, on motion of Mr. Morton, to print three thousand and passed. Mr. Anthony also reported a resolution to print five thousand extra copies of the report On the repairs of the Mississippi levees, aud it was passed. Mr. Antheny also reported back a proposed new rule of the Senate, that all resolutions calling on the Executive, or any of the De- partments for information shail first be re- ferred to a standing Committee toreport an es- timate of the probable expense, and that the meget be made without delay.
