THE WAR.

Until very recently, the signs of the
war in Europe. were very faint. II was
rather cessation OF peace than real
war. The allied powers were evident
ly waiting to SEQ whether by the union
OF Austria and Prussia with them peace
could not be forced upon Russia by rem
dering her defeat obviously certain
But Austria and Prussia have not taken
that course, and may not, except upon
the condition that Russia advances to
the Balken. The time Of the crisis
however, rapidly approaches and all the
intelligence brought by the last arrival
pcrtends real and earnest war. We
look for startling intelligence every
mail.

ETIt will be seen by the card Of
Mr.. Evan Owens, that he has consent
ed to run for the Office Of County Au-
ditor. This viii be good news to that
portion Of the citizens Of this county
that are tired Of submitting to the viii
of few interested partizans. If we
are not mistaken in the wishes Of the
people of this county. and of this state /.
there is growing desire and deter
mination to vote for officers without
waiting for conventions to say who
may and who may not be voted for
Other things being equal, we are sat-
isfed that candidate who has the In
dependence TO appeal directly to the
people, win receive a much larger vote
than one who first asks convention i
he may run.
Mr.. Owens is worthy and compe'
tent man, and we hope he may have
fair race with the Subject of the con
vention.

THE rxHrBrrroNs


Our citizens have enjoyed rare
treat. three evenings Of this week, in
the exhibitions connected with the
College. Our space will not permit
us to go into detail in speaking of the
performances. The pupils of the Pri-
mary Department rehearsed several
interesting pieces, and sung some
beautiful songs on Monday night
We were particularly pleased with
several Of the boys and girls in that
department. They have been well
cared for by those who have had
charge of them during the year, and
we predict that whoever knows some
of those boys and girls eight years
hence, will know ornaments to society,
and those who will honor their parents
and teachers. Blessed be the man
who takes them by the hand and leads
them at once to the River of Life and
the streams of science.
Tuesday evening was devoted to the
exhibition of the JULIA DUMoNT So
cIErY-a society ofyoung ladies, who
have begun well, in giving such a
name TO their association. No living wo-
man is more worthy this.honor than
Mrs. Dumont, the wife of John DUN
mont, Esq. formerly Prosecuting Attor-
ney of this District.
The exercises cons listed of coloquies,
essays and music. The coloquies
were well got up. and well spoken
The essays may have been good, but
not one-fourth of the audience could
hear them. We hope none of the young
ladies will publish us liar in mex
weeks Democrat, for saying this
The music was good on all occasions
particularly the singing of the
children on Monday night.
On Wednesday evening the young
gentlemen and ladies belonging to the
Collegiate Department performed
There was more maturity Of intellec
displayed, butn more interest wa'
felt by the audience, than on the pre-
ceding evenings.
Taking all of the performances to
gether. it was such feast as our citi
zens had never before enjoyed. W.
hope that, in future, they will be still
more interesting and that commence
ment week." will soon be hailed as
week of pleasure and profit by all on
citizens.

SEARCHING HousEs.-'The consti-
tuition and laws ofour land, make every
mans house his castle; there he should
be secure from unreasonable search
and seizure. Any law which would
authorize and require officious consta-
bles and police officers to make their
weekly visits to private houses to search
the cellars, smoke houses, pantries,
cupboards, and trundle-beds, to see il
there may not be bottle Of 'bitters'
hid away. and if found, to forthwith
destroy i, we regard as greater evil
than the unrestrained sale Of spurious
liquors. Under this right of search
every sort of enormity, would be COM
mitted. '-,State Sentinel.
None are so blind as those who will
see. Brown knows as well as he knows
that he shook his head, that the Maine
Law positively forbids the search Of

is broad and substantial structure,
worthy Of our Democratic sires, one
on which JEFFERSON and JACKSON
could stand, and on which their sons
have stood with pleasure and pride
But the platform offered us by the late
convention Of office holders is a revolv-
ing one. 1t consists of a whisky bar

to revolve at the pleasure Of our mas

THE NEBRASKA ELL CHEAT

1t appears that the Nebraska plot
tiers by cunningly worded section of
the Bill have provided that foreigners
cannot vote after the first election in Ne
braska.
The Clayton amendment was rejec-
ted because it ostracised foreigners.
1t was savagely pouncedupon by some
of the Northern presses, which favored
the bill, because il was Of Wing origin
but what will they say now that the
odious feature has been retained by
the Democratic majority in both Hou-
sesl
The New York Eueniag Post, a
Democratic print exposes the cheat as
follows: we commend il to the solemn
attention ofour readers.
1T is generally supposed that the
Clayton amendment, limiting the right
of suffrage in the case of aliens TO those
who had resided in that territory four
years was rejected. and III atemigrants
from abroad, who will constitute the
bulk of the population for the first few
years, will at once be clothed with all
the privileges of citizen ship in the Ne
braska Bill, Git is the 9th in the Kan
sas bill, J to show the erroneousness of
this impression, and the rights of suf-
frage of American emigrants, of which

settle to the new territory, have any
idea:

PATRICK HENRYs SON

The youngest son Of Patrick Henry
died not long ago. poor, and alone. in a
public house in Floyd county, Virginia.
Recently the tavern keeper applied to
overseers Of the poor. for a special grant
to indemnify him for boarding, funeral
expenses. &C., This was refused on the
ground that retrospective appropr lations
are unauthorized. and that II would be
establishing an improper PRECEDENT
One that visited him short time before
his death says that ais name was Ma
thaniel. He said he was young when
his father died, but he emembered him
perfectly and was pleased to talk about
him. His clothes we're clean but not
whole. There was evidently a struggle
between his pride and ancestry and his
present poverty. He has been teach
ing what is called an old field school for
amusement, as he ipsinuated, but from
necessity, as all knew. His health fail
ing, he removed to hotel in Jackson
vile, and was kept by the host for year
or more, who presumed that some rela-
tiyes or friends, would de fray his expen-
ses. He died with dropsy of the chest,
in few moments after the operation
of tapping had been performed by DIR.
Stuart.
Who does not see in this melancholy
end Of the son of such man as Patrick
Henry, that earthly honors are Of short
durationl When we visited Richmond
two years ago, near hundred men were
at work on Henry's Monument, which
was being erected in Capitol square at
an expense Of several hundred thousand
dollars, while an only surviving son of
the great man was pining away in want
and neglect. The State could appropr l.
ate its thousands to honor the father,
but not cent towards the relief while
living, and burial when dead,of his ADAM
doned son. And why Abandoned Need
we sayi We will say, that the state OF
Virginia, the mother of great men in
her earlier and better days. had licensed
men Of good moral character to sell in
toxicatine liquors to the sons Of her
great men, and here is the result
Those sons have lived and died drunk
ards. The licenses gave the vendors the
right to sell to every body but slaves
These have, in consequence, lived to be
useful, and they have died at home and
lamented while the sons Of the men
that gave Virginia her glory have thus
died paupers.
But Virginia is not alone in this mad
ness. The principal victims OF drunken
ness are the children of the wealthy and
influential, in every state. Thank God
better day is dawning. The time is
near at hand when legalized murder will
be at an end. Reader, will you help
Your own son may die as the son Of
Patrick Henry, il you do not do YOU
duty.
