THE NEBRASKA BILL AND PARTY
ORGANIZATIONS.

emake no pretentions to unusual sagacity,
nor do we claim the gift Of prophecy, but we
entertain no doubt that the introduction of the
Nebraska bill has already exerted most bene
ficial influence on the party organizations Of
the country, and that the discussions which are
likely 10 grow out of its passage must exert
most wholesome influence on political morality
For many years the whig party has been
held together by most unnatural alliance,
which made it effective in opposition, but
which rendered it unable to profit by victory,
and powerless for good even when in power.
For long time the northern branch Of that
party has been thoroughly imbued with feder-
alsm, and by courting abolition support it be-
came corrupted by abolition sentiments. The
northern wings, animated and guided by bit
ter hatred Of democracy, did not as a body,
scruple at the means they employed to obtain
party triumph. They readily united with
any faction which would vote against demo-
cratic candidates. TO carry out this system of
warfare, it was necessary to adopt resolutions,
and make nominations which would be accept
able to the factonsts. This course of pr,ce-
dure could not fail to produce corruption and
decentralization.
The southern wings were misled by party
ties and party associations and for long time
they refused to see and understand the results
which their northern associates we're working
out. Significant congressional and move
ments, running through long series Of years,
failed to impart a wholesome lesson to them,
because they permitted themselves to be de-
luded by assurances that their northern allies
were not influenced by sectional feelings but
enly gave sectional votes to protect themselves
from assaults at home. Willing credence was
also given 10 the unfounded charge, that the
democracy Of the north was unsound--not to be
relied on to maintain the rights of the south as
secured by the Constitution. But the events
which occurred between the defeat of General
Cass in l84s, and the election of General
Pierce in 1852, opened the eyes of many

A MAN BEFoRE ADAM.--A conglomerate work,
to use geological phrase, has lately been pub
liehed in Philadelphia, entitled The TYPES of
Mankind, made up ofcontributions from lhelate
DR.. Morton, Agassiz, Usher, Mott, and Glidd, n.
This work is destined to create something of
commotion in the religious world. The idea
of the unity OF the race of man is totally dis
carded by the authors one and all. DR.. Usher
makes the astounding statement in this work,
that human fossil has been found in New
Orleans, in the course of some excavation in
that city, to which a pre-Adamite age is attri-
buted According to his authority, the skeleton
Of man, Of the conformation Of our native
Indians, was discovered at depth of sixteen
feet, lying below a succession of four fossil
cypress forests, to each of which the age of
l4,4OO years is given. Agassiz is said to have
accepted this as a fact, and bassed upon it his
assertion that man existed upon the earth at
least 10000 years ago. The theologian must
either disapprovc this statement or be COM
PEELED to admit new exegesis of Holy Writ"
So says the New York. Epening Post But the
Tribune thus causes the collapse of the Posts
assumption:
The Eocning Post is responsible for the
above. We do not see how the fact that DR.
Usher makes an astounding statement about
human fossil to which pre- Adamite age
is attributed, or even that said skeleton was
found at depth Of sixteen feet below " four
fossil forests, to each of which the age Of
l4,40O years is giren," is an adequate basis for
all that is here piled upon it. Considering the
volume of the mighty Mississippi, the libcr-
ties it takes with its banks, the rapid growth
and luxuriance Of vegetation in that semi-tro.
pcal region, and the concurrence Of natural
convulsons in producing physical changes, we
think he must be a bold rather than a-s-4e
generalizer who could deduce with any conf
dence from such data rs are here given the
conclusion that man has existed on this earth
l4,400 years, much less 100000 We do not
propose to dogmatize in turn; but we cannot
believe that "the theologian" is compelled
to admit a new exegesis" on any such grounds
as these.

UNITED STATES NAyY.-sENATOR
MALLORY'S REPORT.

The Charleston Neos, of the 24th, pays the
following well-nerited compliments to Mr.. NAL
lory, one of the senators from Florida:
"Mr. Mallory, the chairman of the Committee
on Naval Affairs in the Senate, deserves the
thanks of the country for his report, accompa-
MED by bill, for the Improvement of the naval
service of the United States. The report is
elaborate in the elucidation of principles, and
highly useful in the details which embrace the
past history and present condition ofthe navy.
While resolutions are offered in both branches
of Congress, which menace the repose Of the
country, while weeks are consumed in the dis
cussion of abstract principles. or in sectional
and party struggles, we hear no utterances
scarcely in favor of improving and extending
the public defences. The navy is nearly pros
trate, our only arm of safety in case of external
attack. Voices enough are raised to embroil
the country in foreign disputes, now in Cuba,
then in Central America, now in Peruvian
waters, then among the semi-civilized islanders
Of the Pacific ocean. But none, except few
solitary voices, are heard for thorough re.
organization Of the navy

BsD~ The Virginia papers tell a sad tale Of
the ravages committed by the joint-worm on
the growing crop of wheat 1t is said that
the crops never looked more fourishing or
promised better yield than they did before
this destructive worm made its appearance.
1t is the privilege of farmers to grumble. They
have been called grumblng generation.
But the joint-worm, we are sorry to say, has
given them something that justifes complaint.
They sowed large crops, not in the hope of a
general European war, but with the hope Of
realizing handsome profits in the event Of that
war.
Well, the war broke out dreams Of large
profits from their crops were INDUCED, and,
just as everything looked fair, and bright, and
hopeful, their dreaded little enemy has made
its appearance and commenced its ravages.
They, however have the consolation Of know
ing that the smaller the wheat crop, the higher
the price it will command.

VERY LIKE A SINSER.--An Ohio editor, hav-
ing been reproved as wanting in reverence to
the clergy, on account of some structures he
made upon the anti.Nebraska petition of the
three thousand preachers, replies by the follow.
ing anecdote:
"A minister was once riding through sec-
ton of the State of South Carolina, where
custom forbade innkeepers to take pay from
the clergy who staid with them. The minister
in question took supper without prayer, and ate
his breakfast without prayer or grace, and
was about taking his departure, when mine
host presented the bill.
All, sir" said he. az am clergyman"
"That may be, Sresponded Boniface, "but you
came here, smoked like a sinner, slept like
sinner and ate and drank like sinner, and
now, sir, you shall pay like sinner I"
The moral of the story viii at once suggest
ITSELF We yield to none in respect and rrver-
ence for the faithful minister OF the gospel in
his proper sphere. His is an exalted mission,
and worthy of all reverence. His is mission
of peace, not Of strife and contention,

THE NEBRASKA BILL LAw.-The bill
originated by Senator Douglass, Of Illinois, es-
tablishing government over the Territories Of
Kansas and Nebraska, has become a law. 1t
has been approved BY majority of both Houses
of Congress--by majority of the democratic
members Of both Houses, and we are heartily
glad to record its passage. We are pleased TO
record the enactment oc any law based on
sound democratic doctrine and principle, and it
IS especially gratifying to US to know that
there is not only the ability but the toW in Con-
gress to carry measure, democratic in all its
features and propositions, over and in spite of
all opposition. With numerical superiority
OF twenty or more in the Senate, and four times
that number IN the House of Representatives,

The Great Billiard Match for Two Hundred
Dollars.

The following We copy from the Syracuse
Daily Republican ofthe 18th Instant:
The match at Billiards, for $500, FIVE hun
dred up-cannon game-was played at the
Malcolm Hall billiard room. Syracuse, on Sat
urday night the 9th instant, between two of the
best players in the world, Joseph N. White, Of
332 Broadway, New York, and George G. Smith,
Of Rome.
The interest in the game increased by the
knowledge that White had given a challenge
land which now stands open) to play any man
in the world for from $1,000 to $4,000, and
which has never been accepted and Smith
had previously played seven match games for
large sums of money, all of which he won with
case, which of course gave him the confidence
Of his friends, who were quite ready to back
him largely, and which was ready to be taken
by Whites friends if offered.
At about nine o'clock the competitors took
their positions at the table, surrounded by a
" cloud of witnesses" composed Of the most
respectable people in town, and amateurs of
the game from abroad, who were on the qai
cice to see the play. The competitors were in
good spirits, and "eager for the fray each
confident Of winning and thereby sustaining
high reputation. They strung for the lead,
which was won by Smith, who also made the
first count. White then took up the game and
turned the first corner 40 ahead, Smith making
small runs. White also turned the second cor
ner 70 ahead, the third 1913 ahead, the fourth
Isl, when Smith commenced gaining and
White turned the fifth 81 ahead. AT the sixth
corner Smith turned "a ahead, white having
had brakes,) and the seventh 50, and the eight
40, and at the ninth "a, when White commenced
gaining and when Smith had made 484 points,
White had made 367 and had the play, upon
which he run up 26, putting him 9 ahead, and
left the balls comparatively safe, when, Smith
not counting, White ran the game out and won
by Is points.
Thus ended the most beautiful, and at the
same time the best contested, most exciting
game, that perhaps was ever played in this
country, as both players exhibited the strength
of the game. Smith, although beaten, could
not lose any reputation, as he played very
strong game and White still retains the cogno-
men Of /" Pope's Nuncio," as his friends have
humorously styled him.
