proclamation, ordering an election for chief
justice to be held on Monday, 95th june. This

most exclusively into the hands of the people
of the southern parishes.

The trial of lieutenant-governor Myers, of
Ohio, for perjury, in wilfu]ly receiving illegal
votes while acting as commissioner at the cleo
ton recently held in Toledo, has been postpon.
ed until the July term of the circuit court. On
his recent trial the jury could not agree-there
being eight for conviction and four for acqut-
tai. If the next jury should be unable to agree
lin their verdict, the matter had better be sub
mtted to the supreme court ofthe people of the
State Of Ohio, who will return their verdict on
the second Tuesday in October. 1t would be
somewhat disagreeable to the feelings of lieut.
governor Myers if he should next visit the cap
itol of the State in a very different capacity
from that in which he left it, Changing the
armchair of the president of the senate for a
stone cell in the penitentiary, would afford a
sad spectacle, and could not be otherwise than
humiiating to the State; but no punishment
can be too great for an individual who know
ingly perpetrates fraud upon the ballot box.

RELIGIous.-In answer to certain overtures
madeby the church at Harrodsburg, Kentucky,
to the presbytery of Pennsylvania, recently in
session at Danville, the following official views
upon temperance were given by that body
1st. 1t is violation Of the sabbath, and conse-
q1ently proper subject for discipline for a
tavern keeper to sell ardent spirits on that day.
Cd. The .habitual business of dealing in intoxi-
eating drinks as beverage, by church mem
Der, is so great a source of temptation to soci
ETY., so great an offence against charity, and so
total disregard to the character of the church
Of Christ, that it ought not to be persisted in,
and ought not to be allowed The presbyterv
also decided that the public lecturing and speak
ing on the subject oftemperance by women, it
cannot but regard as unscriptural and contrary
TO presbyterian usage, and therefore advises
both Its ministers and members not to give any
countenance to the practice.

novel illustration of what can be exempt
ed from an execution for debt has recently oc-
cured in one of the New York courts. John
Grant, a teacher in one Of the public schools.
became indebted to Eliza B. Holmes, and she
like thrifty housekeeper, levied upon certain
of his personal effects, among which was agold
watch. Grant contended that his watch was q
part of his working TOOLS" and the matter
coming before judge Roosevelt, he decided
that the time-piece of school-eacher was as
necessary to his occupation as hammer to
the mechanic, and that was consequently ex
empt from execution.

1t is now conceded, says the Little Rock Ga
zette, by the most skeptical, that the Arkansas
river will not answer the purposes o. a naviga-
bic stream. Here we are in the middle ofMay
and the river yet too low for navigation. The
planters have not yet shipped their crops of last
year. The merchants are in the 81 me condi-
ton. The people, who have to depf ind on the
rivers, are next door to starvation Those re-
siding on the tributaries of Red River are in a
similar predicamen, and there is no telling
when they may reasonably expect an amelio-
ration of their embarrassments. II

WEATHER, CRoPs.-The weather still con-
tinues extremely hot and dry. In this imme-
diate vicinity we hear but little complaint,
though the crops are evidently suffering for
rain. There is now little probability of suffi :
clent rain IN the river to enable boats to reach
this section Of the country. Sufficient rain to
raise the river to boating order would damage
the crops to a greater amount than could be
covered by the benefit of navigation. After
all, we are inclined to look upon the present
state of affairs as a blessing rather than an
evil, as 1t will serve to arouse the people to the
necessity of providing some more reliable com
munication than the delectable stream vcIeped

Ny~ The Missouri mob at WestpOrt, now
trying to legislate for Kansas, propose that
''every free white male above the age of 81
years, who shall pay to the proper officer in
Kansas territory the sum of 81 as poll tax,
and shall produce to the judges of any cleo
ton within and for the territory of Kansas
a receipt showing the payment of said poll
tax, shall be deemed legal voter, and shall
be entitled to vote at any election in said
shall have been paid" This bill is intended
to authorize all Missouri to vote hereafter in
Kansas.
The mob also propose to themselves ap-
point three commissioners in each county,
for four years. to have control of all county
business, levy county taxes, appoint all the
county and township officers, Except such
as the mob may hereafter choose to appoint)
and to take complete possession of the gov
ernment i'll all its details, and divest the peo-
pie of any voice or influence in the manage
ment of their county, township, road district
or school district affairs. Is it any wonder
that the people rebel against such tyranny :?
Such is the fruit of the Nebraska infamy.
Could we not coax the Democrat to bepraise
that scandalous act again, and tell us how
it was going to carry freedom south of Mis-
souri,? Do our German democratic friends
and the democrats of Portageville recollect
how they blowed and how incredulous they
were, when we told them more than a year
ago that the people of Kansas WOULD NOT
haze the settlement of the slauery question at
their own disposal9 We recollect it we'll !;
and now we beg of them to say if what we
told them has not proved absolutely and lit
orally true to the very letter? Will they
not pause and reflect where they are rushing
the country to, before they again lend their
votes and influence to the authors and friends
of such disastrous measures? We trust in
all kindness they will.

We are in for Chase; we got him by

in denouncing the repeal of the Missouri
compromise, and then turn our backs on the
compromise we made ourselves on the 18th
of July, 1855"

addressed to Frank Pierce. Or is he X. N.
