MR.. NoaRIs AND THE HIGHER LAW.

DSome Wing newspapers are greatly exercis-
81 by The following sentence in the recent eu-
lcgy Of Mr. Norris, in the Senate, upon his late
colleague, Mr. Anterior:
He acknowledged no practical law higher
or more sacred fer his rule of conduct here than
that sacred instrument which we are all sworn
to support"
They say it was q personal reflection upon
tho political ethics of Mr.. Seward We do not
know Whit were Mr. Norris's intentions in pro-
nouncing so admirable sentiment; but sup
posing he did intend to reprove all men who
entertain and avow such pestiIent hereeies,
what then = Wash. Union.
The most malignant enemies of MIR. Ather-
ton could say nothing worse of him than this
saying Of Mr. Norris. If it be true, MIR. Ather-
ton was an Atheist, and died as the fool dieth
aod the Union, in sanctioning the sentiment as
)" admirable," is in the same condemnation.
The assumption is, that msn Is greater than
God; that Human Law, whatever il may bs, is
above the Law Of Nsta7e and Of God; that the
only standard Of conduct for an American cit
izsn is the vii Of majority, as embodied in
the forsl Of Law or Constitution. Such niser-
abe end imp.ous nonsense scarcely deserves a

Ke~ lucky Hem Crop.

turned from Kentucky, informs us that he
made diiigent inquiry whi!e in that State,
respecting the growing hemp crop, and from
the most reliable sources Of information, it
is pronounced the best. NOT only in quantity
lu, in qualify, since l842. All parties
ag ee il is very fine. and being now nearly
ready ra. the kni c. n"hirg can prevent il
turning en- finely. TIE crop by many is
estimated at thir'yIhree per cent. more in
quantity, and at least twenty -tiSe per cent.
better in qn"'iy, than that of last year.
The crop of 1912 was reckoned al % "a
25.OOO tons. The present, it is generally
believed, will not fell short Of 10000 tons
In many parts the stalk Is ready for The

You have probably heard very exaggcra-
ted reports with regard to the sickness at
this place during the summer. From the
best information | can obtain, there were
from the time the cholera first broke out
here (about the first week in June, until
the ! lth day OF July, about one hundred and
sirty deaths in Hermann anl vicinity-most
of them of cholera. About the lth inst,
it disappeared suddenly, since which time
there has been only one case, and the place
has been comparatively healthy. A few
cases of fever have occurred.
The weather has been very dry, and re-
ports from the country are unfavorable.-
But little corn will be raised in the county

kRr On the premises, the farm on which
SssS now reside, containing 455 acres, 15O
- acres of which are under fence and in cul-
tivation, and the balance in timber of superior
quality.
The location of the farm is very desirable, be-
ing situated miles south of Glasgow, and bor
dering Oh the Missouri river, though not one foot
of it is in bottom. There is on the place, and
convenient TO the house, spring of as good water

Peaches, Cherries. &c.

ry frame dwelling, containing rooms-3 below
and two aboye--a very large tobacco barn--in a
word, all necessary out-buildings. A farther de-
scripton is unnecessary, as it is presumed that
those wishing to purchase will call and examine
for themselves.

required 10 be paid down, the other half in twelve
months, Immediate possession will be given and

Nebraska Badger Amendment.

Mr.. F. P. Stanton Of Tennessee, in his
speech on the Nebraska Bill, spoke as fol-
lows on the subject of the Badger amend
meni. He occupies the same ground that
Mr.. Lindley took, and which MIR. Flournoy
objects 10. Wesubmit that Mr.. Lindley and
Mr.. Stanton took the Southern ground, and
their opponents are on the Northern side Of
the question.
Mr.. STANTON said
II intimated, Mr.. Chairman, that before
the expiration of my hour, would, if time
permitted, state the only objection l have
ever entertained against the bill. 1t arises
from what is generally known as the Bad
ger amendment. | must confess that my
ardor in favor OF the bill has been somewhat
dampcned by this provision. but il will not
prevent me from voting MS have all along
intended. ~ 1890, when il was proposed
70 repeal the Mexican laws which were
claimed as prohibiting slavery in Utah and
New Mexico. the proposition was re ected,
and we were told that such a repeal would
contravene The rrircil lie Of fnon-intrrveuti'r n.
W. submitted 10 this view. New il is pro-
posed 10 remove the Congressional legi>la-
tion Of 1920. That being done, the terri
tory would stand as il did prior 10 that time,
with The laws Of L usirana still in force.
Til believe was the force and effect Of
the bill before 'he Badger amendment was
adopted. But that provision evidently re.
neals the laws originally prevailing in the
Tcrritnrv. The result Of all this is, that
white in 1850 you refused to repeal the
Mexican laws against slavery, You do now
repeal the French law in IFS favor. 1t is
true the bill goes further, and establishes {
position which gentlemen call a tabula raSa
do not know that this would be particu.
ar'y objectionable in itself. But we pro.
fess TO he applying the principle of the ac
of 1850. That principle plainly requires
that we should leave the French laws o
Louisiana to stand, as we did the Mexican
laws Of the other territory. To this exten
