HYPocRIsY is funny fel
low!-It walks into church of Sunday
morning, sleek, clean shaved, and as smil-
ing as man with new wife for the third
time. 1t joins in the anthem, responds in
the prayers, listens attentively to the ser
mon, shakes hands with the deacons, and
other celebrities. 1t is as free with the
women as rouge or prepared chalk, and
talks to young girls with the greatest free
dom and consequence. The missionary
field is its especial care; all the neighbors
are drummed up to come forward" aid a
benevolent "objick." Some of the neigh
bors subscribe large sums and others throw
in small amounts-the large contributors
get their names into the paper, while the
small ones are content with having done
their duty. The same hypocrisy we have
seen severely prayerful on Sunday and on
Monday it bartered pair of CATERS with a
courtezan. 1t has been known to turn up
its eyes in horror at the uttering of an oath,
and before fairly recovered from the shock,
to swindle laboring man out Of money
which should buy his children bread. Il
is very nasty thing, 1t affects disgust al
dirt in the street, while it lives in dirt with
in doors. 1t is prevalent in some cheap
groceries, in the shape of shortweights; is
exhibited in wet'goods, predominant in cof
fee; is powerful in milk, and-it's every
where, even in the weather. Wherever
youmeet the fellow, shake him off; eschew
his acquaintance, don't let your wife know
there is such character. Better be Nor

The election of tho 9th resulted in the sue
cess of the Anti Nebraska State Tick ct, and Of
three on; of the four Congressman. Cassism
has pot one man to watch it's interests in the
House OF Representatives IL the next Congress
and even he is STYLED an abolitionist by the
Free Press; and we are not sure but his vote
will be on the right side in all questions rela-
ting to Slavery and Freedoms:
Our next Legislature will be composed Of
about two thirds Anti Nebraska men, which
is sufficient for practical purposes. The State
Administration and power, will, therefore be
in the hands of the opponents of the old dy-
nasty. Having been so long out of power it
will behove them to use the utmost caution not
to lose the vantage ground. 1t will be neces
sary to void all rash acts--all use of power
not absolutely necessary 10 carry on the affairs
of State-all extreme measures of Radicalism.
They must avid the thirst for spols which too
often takes hold of men unused to hold the
reins of power. and which has led to enormous
speculations and frauds by those accustomed
to be in power. Hlilo farrs a.a ts
We hope that the charge Of "bribery and
corruption" will not even have the semblenco
of justification. Our Legislature has but 40
DAYS session before the "rations' are cut short;
and forty days are short enough to do what
is needed done Yet we hope our next Legis-
lature will adjourn before the expiration of that
brief period after it organises.
1t is a matter OF sincere regret that Mr. Wis
ner was not elected in the 4th Congressional
District: for no District in the Union is more
abused and defrauded ont of its just dues un-
der the Constitution and by the policy of our
country; and no ADLER man was candidate in
our State. BY his perseverance, in the canvass
he deserved better than defeat.
But the result taking the State through. is
all we could hope for. It is complete tri-

FLOUR AND WHEAT.

The Albany Argus, alluding to the fact that
canal navigation will continue only a fow weeks
longer, says that the receipts Of flower are
ing fin wheat is equal to 100000 barrels of
flour. The editor of that paper adds:
"As an Offset, however, to this, the receipts
of corn show an increase over last year of s.
600, 900 bushels, and will probablycontinue in
creasing until the close of the season. No
doubt more wheat and flour will find its way
to market via canal, during the remaining few
weeks of navigation, than has reached tide
water in double that length of time. If either
or boath of these articles are in the country,
with wheat at 1874 per bush., Genesee -four
at Sl0.50, and western in proportion, they must
find their way to tide water.

THE ARREST OF ARRIs0N,

A thrill of horror prevaded this community
when the internal machine explosion at the
Marine Hospital in June last. sont Mr.. and
Mrs. Allison into anolher world aud every eff
fort was made. both by our police and by pri-
vate citizens, to ferret out the murderer.
Circumstances rendered i, highly probable
that the crime was committed by medical
student named Arrson, but he escaped, and
although several of our officers traced him to
his fathers residence in Iowa, yet he oluded
them. Council offered $500 for his capture,
and several officers made unsuccessful at
tempts to secure him.
Arrison wrote letter recently to this city,
IN relation 10 certain sums of money due him,
and as this letter happened to fall into the
hands of another party of tho same name with
the person to whom il was directed, his resi-
donce was at once known. and his Honor May
or Snelbaker. taking with him Captain Hoke
and one of Marshal Ruffins assistants, started
for Iowa, to effect the arrest. Upon getting
tn Muscatine Iowa, town on the Mississippi,
some 30 miles below Rock Island, the Mayor
and his party fonnd Arrison employed in the
Drug Store of Mr.. l. b. Daughrity.
When they entered The store at o'clock in
tho morning, they found Arrison sitting with
his back to the door reading a newspaper, and
he was not aware of their presence until their
hands were upon his shoulder. When inform
ed of the reason for his arrest he denied all
knowledge of the murder, and rofused to ac
knowledge the name Of Arrison. He ad been
passing there under the name of Willelts.
He was taken before magistrate, and final
ly consented to accompany the party back to
Cincinnati The people of Muscatine sustain
cd the officers in making the arrest, and ac-
companied them to the steamboat, j. b. Nc
Kee, which carried the party to Rock Island,
where they got on the cars to Chicago, and
thence to this place. They reached homo
about ten o'clock last night. and deposited
Arrison in the watch-house for safe keeping.
The prisoner is doubtless VIM. Arrison, but
he still refuses to answer to that name. Upon
searching his trunk his name was found upon
his books and papers.
1t was rumored shortly after the murder
that Arrison had done il on account of a slight
difficulty with Mr.. Allison, but it is not unlike
ly that other motives will yet come to light
We would not be surprised if it should turn
out that the death of Allison and wife was nec-
essary for the safety of another party, aud
Arrison was hired to put them out of the vay.
Mayor SnelIbaker and the other members Of
the party deserve much credit for this impor-
tant arrest.

From the Milwaukee Sentinsl,
WISCONSIN, REDzEMRD.

Tho returns received last night warrant the
announcement that the Repsblicans have car.
ried this State by a sweeping majority. Two
of thetbroe mombers of Congress, and a nit
jority in both branches of the Legislature, which
is to elect United States Senator, are the
fruits of this glorious victory.
Wisconsin has thus condcmed in emphatic
tones the Nebraska Iniqu,y and its reckless
and perfdious authors. Wisconsin has recor-
ded her verdict against tho Administration Of
Franklin Pierce. the most corrupt, imbecile
and inefficient that ever dissruced tho Rcpub-
lie.
Above all, Wisconsin has stood firm by her
birthrght-the glorious ordinance of '87-aDd
has struck blow for right, freedom and reform.
Most heartily do we congratulate our follow
republicans on the glorious triumph which
has crowned their labors and confirmed their,
hopes And no less sincerely do we felcitate
our fellow citizens, of all parties, upon result
so suspicious to the best interests of wisconsin.
1t is, too, our earnest prayer that the Republic
an party may so use the power thus confined TO
them by the people, as to provo themselves
worthy of tho high trust, and faithful, updor
al circumstances, to the welfare and honor of
tn Q State.

RE-OPENTNG THE SLAVE TRADE.-The Char
lesion .uercnry continues to urge the revival
Of the Slave trade. after having discussed tho
subject in all It's bearing it Informs tho South
it has attempted to establish those conclusions,
viz:
First. That tho fanatcal interference of Gov
ernment had neither diminished the number
of slaves imported, nor ameiorated the abuses
of the affic, put had aggravated both; and,
therefore, that every consideration ofsenso or
humanity demaoded that Different policy be
rsued in the future.
Secondly That the Slave Trade had been a
blessing toboth Africa and America, in cvli-
zing and chrisianizing the ane. and developing
the resources of the other; and that it was the
falsest philanthropy which prevented the work
from going on.
Thirdly. That the South, surrounded and
threatened as che was, must colonize aad es-
tablsh her institutions in tho Territories, or
fall beneath the march Of the free States. and
that the natural increase Of her slaves being
her whole source Of labor. colonization was i'm
possible, without supplies from another quarter
Africa.
Fourthly, That the tendency Of the high price
of slaves consequent upon the excessive demad
for labor. was to weaken the institution at
home-a danger TO be avoided by increasing the
supply
FDthiy That tho importation of slaves from
Africa was important, not only to tho South
for these reasons, but necessary TO the de, elop-
mont of vast and fertile portions of the Ameri-
can Continent.
In summing up these conclusions, adds tho

The Catholic world is at present occup led
with great event which is about to be accom-
plished at Rome. Bishops are proceeding
from all parts of the earth toward the Eternal
City. From France, H. f., the Cardinal Guns
set has already left for Rome, and has taken
the wuy to Switzerland. The Bishop of Mans
has arrived in Paris, on his way to the Holy
City, and is to leave in the course of the week.
The Cardinal Archbishop of Mechlin has ar
rived in Paris Several Irish Catholic pre- .
lates, and among them the Archbishops Of
Armagh and Dublin, are also at present in
Paris, and on thoir waw for Rome. ireland is
the only Catholic country in tho world from
which more than two prelates have been invi-
ted by name But we learn from Rome that a
great number of Bishops are expected, and
that the presence of other prelv,es than those
officially invited will be seen with pleasure
All the Bishops viii take part according to
their rank in the projected general assembly.
will be preceded by private meetings, compos-
cd we are told, of the prelatos especially lnvi-
