REPUDIATING Ills OWN NAME.-Steamer Franklin
Pierce VS.. Franklin PIERCE One of the richest
things, in the shape Of BILL says the New Orleans
Delta, came before the President about four
weeks ago. 1t appears that the owner of the
steamer Franklin Pierce actually petitioned Con-
gress, praying that body to allow them to change
the name of said boat, alleging the reason that
she had run into such bad repute, and had met
with such bad luck since naming her Franklin
PIERCE that it was absolutely necessary to change
her name before they could expect to make any kind
of good trips with her. Well, special act of Con-
gress was passed for her benefit, AMI the bill, of
course, had to receive the signature of the Presi
dent, which it did after great deal of delay and
trouble, and the new Texana left her wharf last
evening for st. Louis, with first rate trip, being
the first, the Captain swore the boat had since
he owned her. Who will now hereafter say,
&c ssTherc's nothing in a name"

Haussemann, Prefect of the Seine, Governor of
Paris and the suburbs) on the subject contribu-
tions from the city treasury to the army ut Sc
vastOpol. MIR. Hausscmann refused the request
of the Emperor, aud was asked for his reasons
He stated that in accordance with the wishes of
the Emperor, the city had already appropriated
enormous sums in pulling down and building up
Paris, in order to give renown to this administra
tion and keep employed hungry workmcn, and
that she had impoverished herself beyond judc-
ious point for these purposes; that her treasury
was now exhausted, and it was impossible to
make any appropriation for other objects. The
Emperor, true to the memory of the uncle, replied
with vehemcnce, 'The money must be found,' and
here the matter rests.'' ,-,.t-1 .ras

Mr.. Chaplin thus discourses on this important
instrument in the welfare Of free government: !:
ssIt Is grand thing-something which involves
profound doctrines Of Right-something which
has cost ages of effort and sacrifce--it is grand
thing that here, at last, each voter has just the
weight of one man no more, no less; and the
weakest, by virtue of his recognized manhood, is
rs strong as the mightiest. And consider, for
moment, what it is to cast avote. 1t is the token
of inestimable privileges, and involves the re-
sponsibilites of an hereditary trust 1t has pass
cd into your hands as right, reaped from fields
of suffering and blood. The grandeur of history
is represented in your act. Men have wrought
with pen and tongue, and pined in dungeons, and
died on scafolds, that you might obtain this SYM
Dol of freedom, and enjoy this consciousness Of
sacred individuality. To the ballot have been
transmitted it were, the dignity of the sceptre
and the potency of the sword. And that which is
potent as a right, is also pregnant as a duty; q
duty for the present and for the future. If you
will, that folded leaf becomes tongue of justice,
voice of order, force of imperial law !; secur-
ing rights, abolishing abuses, erecting new inst-
tutions of truth and love. And, hosoeUsr you
will, it is the expression of solemn responsible
ty, the exercise of an immeasurable power for
good or for evil, now and hereafter. 1t is the
medium through which you act upon your country
the organic nerve which Incorporates you with
its life and welfare. There is no agent with
which the possibilities of the Republic are more
intimately involved, none upon which we can fall
back with more confidence than the Ballot Box.''

died far from the home and scenes Of her youth,
trusting in God with prayer on her lips for the
protection and guidance of the loved ones, she
was about to leave forever"

shall never forget the many friends We have met
with here in Minnesota"
