SOUTHERN USE OF BLooDHouxDs.

We have received copy of the Democrat
ic .adrocats, published at Lexington, Miss,
forwarded to us by Mr.. John Long, with his
respects, for which We make our acknowl-
edgements. Mr.. Long is q gentleman whose
name and existence the Tribune has been ac-
cused of having forged, and We are properly
grateful for his kindness in spontaneously
coming forward to relieve US from that impu-
tation. The business to which Mr. Long do
votes his talents ond energies is that of train
ing, keeping and setting on bloodhounds, for
the pursuit of negroes who exercise their natu-
raj and inaienable right of running away. His
advertisement is contained in that number of
the Democratic .4dpocafe, bearing Mr.. Longs
own autograph, which it is now our happiness
to possess. Mr.. Long himself goes "hunting
with the dogs" His lowest torms for catch.
ing degro are S25; but If the latter has wea-
pons or wounds or kills any of tho canino
brutes that pursue him. the charge is increas-
ed lfthe money is not paid at the time tho
negro hunted for ia caught no will be hold
bound for the money" Who denies that this
is the land of "the free and the home Of the
braye"-[N. Y. Tribune.

We have never seen soriptual quotations
more aptly applied than in the following da. !.
logue, which took place at the table of Bishop
Doane.
II stated that Bishop Doane, of New Jersey
is strongly opposed to iempernace. A short
time since, Rev. Mr. Perkins. Of the same do
nomination, and member of the "Sons,' dned
with the Bishop. who pouring out a glass OF
wine, desired tho Rev. gentleman to drink with
him. whereupon ho replied:
"Can't do il Bishop, wine is mockery.'"
"Take glass of Brandy, them" said the dis
tinguished ccclesiastio.
"Can't do Il. Bishop, strong drink 10 raging
BY this time the Bishop, becoming somewhat
restive and excited, said to Mr.. Perkins:
"Youl pass the decanter to tho gentleman
next 10 you."
mo, Bishop. cant do that, woe unto him
that putteth the bottle to his neighbors lips.'
What was the peculiar mental condition or
moral state Of the Bishop at this stage of the
proceedings, our informant did moi slsts.-Buf
