There is no magic, no tuirselo, no secret to biro who is bravo in heart and determined in apirit. 3Thk Nest Session.—lt is now an dt-rstuod in Washington that Congress will be soiled to assemble on the fourth of June. The fifteenth sod twentieth of May had been urged a* dates which would anticipate the hot west her sever al weeks, but it was d.'eme I bast to ad here to tho time originally named Mr. Hayss dots not bslicvs the session will be a loDg,onc, but others differ widely from that opinion Senator Merrimou, who is st present in Washington, thinks it W’ll last till nest September, on tbe ground that general legislation will bo entered upon and tbat there will b* •stored upon and that there will be hostility to the poliey of the admlnie tratieo- On tbe other bead, it is said there is a fetter from Senator Blaine in iba eity wftfcb does not anticipate s protracted session, and thus indicates that be does not expect s general war fare tloug the whole Republican line against tV; 2i i them policy. Ex-Speak er ltsndall, in conversation, said he did bclievc n that tbo session would last over a mouth or six weeks, sml be couli not ituagino what could extend it bayond midsummer. —Savannah Neua The BrEAKKitnnir —A Washington special say*.* "Republicans who enjoy tbo President's friendship, and who have access to him at all times, say tbiit he has st last arrived at the it is not possible to elect an administration man Speaker of the next Hou-e. There is no doubt but that book of the Hadioals believed a few weeks ago, when the new south ern poliey wa* just being inaugurated, ' bat a few Democrat* would barter their principle* in order to gratify tbe Preai dent and in return for sundry favors which would be bestowed upon them. Tbe Democratic line is now fund to be uubroken, end tbe eame mistaken politician* who constantly told the President that a down or more Demo cratic members would support bis pol icy to the ex'ent of votiog for a Re publics for Speaker now profess to be alarmed for fear that the Democrat* may ctand logetber and demand tho rapeal of ceriafn obnoxious political legislation before the passage of tbe army appropriation bill.

It was not a lawfully created tribunal, becaose it was contrary to tbe Constitution. It was not universally accepted, because the protest against it was earnest and unceasing. And even if it had b#en lawfully crested and universally accepted, its decision was invalid and. remains invalid, be cause it adopted and consecrated fraud and declared lie* to be truth. Hayes received no high trust from that com mission; be received fraud, and he is fraud.

A young man of our town Isugbed so long and loud the other day that be broke a blood vessel in bis eye, aud for serora! days afterward* tbe affocted member looked as if a small aurora borealis was permanently located there. Hartwell Bun. A aian not a thou sand miles of Hartwell, played the following'trick ou a couple of boya: Stepping into a store ‘he picked up s cat, and said to tbe clerk: "I’ll bet you my knife agginat yours 1 can make this oat aay ‘fat bacon and colltrs' as plain as you can." The bet was made, the old man (hook the cat and made it squall, then banding it .the buy, aud •aid: “It is now your lime, I have uiadu it say it as plain as I oan." The boy looked blank and gave it up Ha ■ hen bet with another boy that ha could ait in the store and whistle him in bareheaded. The boy took the bet und weut out, when the old man com menced whistling. The boy came iu holding bis bat on his bead aud claim ed the bet. But tbo old mau said he wag bareheaded himself, and had won Upon an arbitration the kuife was giv eu to the old man. S 'Utb Carolina is overwhelmed with debt in the shape of fraudulent ‘bogus bond# issued in her name by csrpet-bag thieves and ,robbers, who, since the war have usurped the State government. Gov.

One of the writer’s schoolmates w*s always behind with his lesson*: upon one occasion his teacher, io an acade my in which he lad managed to obtain an entrance, w*s endeavoring to #x £lain a question in arilhemetio to him.

The New York Express, wb|cb was a whig journal as long ag a fragment of that party existed, has oome to tba conclusion that 'there ig no real re* sponge to the call Iq revive the old whig party in the South.
