influence ot a orient little domestic sanctum.*• ■ ..v..v,«■-*«|^'1 »«*,The Sunbury GamUt ami ether Negro organ* are trying to make a fuss over the fact that John Hughes, formally of Schuylkill county, Fa., has recently been elected to the North Carolina State Senate. Mr. Hughes went South in 1862 upon the outbreaking of hostilities, ami for the following reason: His wife was a native of Nc rfch Carolina, and the conduct of the highly educated, highly civilised and super-fined ami religious loyttll people of Pennsylvania who were her neighbors, was such that a lady from the South could not live at peace amongst them, and she was almost compelled to leave to escape the blessings of northern civilization ; and, of course, her husband, as any man would have done, accompanied her as natural protector when she should get down among the cannibals of the South! John Hughes is a nephew of Frank Hughes, of Schuylkill county, an able lawyer and a very prominent democratic politician, and what is said by these papers is said with the intention of indirectly injuring Frank Hughes, They want to use John’s record to injure Frank. All their blowing amounts to noth ing, however, as the terms loyal and rebel ate played out or don’t benefit or hurt anybody anymore. Besides, it will soon be more creditable to have been a rebel than a loyalist. We would rather to-day be Jefferson Davis in Fortress Monroe than Andrew Johnson in the Presidential chair.—Seim* grove Timm,
