Women I'm California.

The San Francisco correspondent
of the New Orleans Picayune, says
that the average of divorces in that
enterprising city amount to about
four every day. In San Francisco,
there are at least seven men to one wo-
man, and in the interior the dispro-
portion is much larger. The gener-
al excuse offered for these divorces
is Tuncongenial dispositions" and dis
like. The lady is said to be general
ly the applicant for divorce, which,
it appears, is easily granted, and she
is soon married again. The market
for unmarried ladies in California is
excellent. The Bulletin publishes
an advertisement for plain cook,
from twenty to thirty-five years of
age, wages $50 per month, and a.
grees not to marry within six moaths.
The correspondent remarks with rea-
son, that if plain cook, thirty-fve
years of age, has to give bonds not
to marry in six months, it is proba-
ole that juyeline damsel of half
that age, would stand no chance at
all Of pining away for lack of hus-
band in California.

Abolition Love for the Negro.

The following, from the Louisville
Democrat, is practical commenta-
ry upon the loud professions Of the
Ohio Abolitionists, who cry so loud
ly over the sufferings Of the African
race in the South:
"a few months since, Mrs. Catha-
rine Smoot, Of this county, widow of
the late Alex. Smoot, liberated her
slaves, some ten or eleven in number,
took them TO Cincinnati, rented lodg-
iDgs for them for twelve months:
gave them sum of money for pres
.ent use, and promised further aid if
they should need it. The Freesoil
papers published the circumstance,
with high eulogies upon the gener-
Gus hearted lady. But the sequel.
We learn that on the evening of the
9th ult, all Of the negroes returned
to this city, and Mrs. Smoot being
absent, reported themselves to the
gentleman who accompanied Mrs.
Smoot to Cincinnati. They express
ed themselves as heartily tired Of
freedom and its privileges, as enjoy
ed by the negroes in the Buckeye
State; and said they would rather be
slaves here than to be free in Ohio
One old woman said she had worked
hard for wages and received no pay.
and couldn't stand freedom at that
rate; that she would rather be put
up at auction and sold to the high
est bidder, even to the Devil him
self, sooner than 90 back to freedom
as she found it, Another received a
friendly call from some of her sable
neighbors before starting back tc
Kentucky, who stole her stock Of
money, six dollars, together with bel
free papers, the latter of which sht
considered no loss. These negroe;
are now here, and protest agains

DENOUNcING DoNELsoN.

1t is not lyamusing, but actually
sorowful to hear the curses, the i'm
precautions, theexecrations, the ana.h-
emas heaped upon the head Of the
poor unfortunate statesman of Tulip
Grove-the inheritor of Gen. jack
sons name and sword, but none Of his
virtues-the extinct, the defunct and
annihilated Doselson. The know
nothings who voted for him on Tues
day are almost unanimous in their
abuse of their late candidate for the
Vice Presidency. They accuse hun
in the boldest manner of having been
the cause of all their troubles, diff
culties and misfortunes. Had it not
been for his stupidity, they say, they
might have succeeded somewhere;
but encountered by his dead weight
by a man of none but bad reputa-
tion-they allege that they could not
avoid the great disaster that has over
whelmed them.-LOmsuiUe Courier.

An Erratic Office Holder.

The Postmaster Of Georgetown,
Mass, was indicted at late term of
the Court of Common Pleas for
dispensing alcoholic liquors without
license. 1t seems from the publish
ed narratives of the circumstances,
that the emuluments of his Office
were not sufficient to remuuerate
him for his services, aud he had pla-
ced in bis office stock Of liquors of
the r. G. brand. 1t was noticed by
the citizens Of that quiet town that
the patrons of that office, on emerg-
ing, could not always "keep step to
the music Of the Union," but evinc-
ed strong tendency towards free
soil. Some individuals who were con-
versant with the laws of gravitatiou
soon solved the mystery why some
bodies could preserve an equilibrium
and others could not. On the issu.
ing of capias, it was ascertained
that the postmaster had disappeared

A Reasonable Speech.

We trust the number Of public
officers in New England capable of
uttering sentiments like the following,
is small. They are said to have
been publicly spoken by AMIR. KnowL
ton, the newly elected sheriff of Wor-
cester county, Massachusetts, when
informed by his fellow citizens of his
election:
Gentlemen, if ! take upon my
self the duties Of the office,to which
have been elected, | shall put in
force all the laws of Massachusetts:
but by no act OF mine or any off.
Ger under me, shallany United States
law be put in force Let those that
make the laws enforce them"
The Boston Journal, freesoil pa
per, thus refers to the subject:
sThe remark Of Mr.. Knowlton
that he would not enforce any United
States law, would seem to be entirely
gratuitous, if not actually unbecom.
ing good citizen. If he meant to
say he would not, in his official ca
ipacity, execute any law of the Uni
ted States, it is gratuitous, for it is
we'll known that this is no part of bis
duty. But a. 4 citizen, he is e.
qually with other citizens to respect
ard aid in the enforcement of the
laws OF the United States"

Democratic State Convention.

The democratic State Convention
which met at Nashville in January
last directed that the next State
Convention Of the party should be
held in the same place on the 9th of
January, 1857. 10 reminding our
democratic felIow-citizens of this fact,
we urge upon them the Importance
OF full representation from all the
counties. The contest through which
we have lately passed, and which has
SO gloriously ended, has tested the
soundness Of democratic principles,
and placed Tennessee permanently in
the list of Democratic States: Yet
we may expect struggle by the op.
position to regain power, under some
new name, and must be prepared to
meet it, and to defend the field SO
hardly won. 1t will be the duty OF
the State Convention to nominate a
candidate for Governor and to Sc
cure continuance of our organiza
ton.
We invite, therefore, the wisdom
Of the people TO meet in Convention
on the day designated, and while ex-
changing congratulations on the re.
suit which has secured the stability
of our institutions and fixed the pol.
icy Of the country as democratic fol
the next four years, TO do what car
be done to guard these blessings il
the present and secure their inheri
lance to our descendants.

The New England States.

The New England States are repre-
sented as voting for the first time as
a unit at the recent election. The
contrary is the fact. Every New
England State went against Mr.. JEFF
ferson in the contest Of 1901; and in
that contest, says the New York Ex-
press, the orthodox clergy Gas they
styled themselves) were as active as
in the present campaign. Mr.. Jeffer-
son was opposed from the pulpit Sun.

State except Connecticut went for

A poor Apology.

Some Of the know nothing papers
that labored hard to defeat the cleo
ton Of Buchanan and Breckenridge,
by dividing the South would now
make the people believe, that run
ming Fillmore secured the defeat of
Fremont and the election of Ruch-
anan. This is not true, nor Was the.
running of Fillmore so intended; but
the reverse. AS far as we have yet
seen, Buchanan has not obtained the
vote of single State that he would
not have carried in a single race a.
gainst either eff his opponents. In
some cases, his majority would have
been greater had Fillmore been off
the track.

The Reading Qualification.

1t is said that four hundred per-
sons in Connecticut were deprived oil
their vote this year by the new
constitutional provision requiring that
they should know how to read and
write in order to vote. The Phila-
delphia Ledger says:
connecticut is the first State that
has made an attempt to disfranehise
a free citizen. 1t is desirable that
every man should possess those aids
to knowledge, reading and writing,
but we should not fall into the error
of installing the mere instrumental
ties fol intelligence itself. A man
may know how to think correctly who
knows nothing at all Of reading and
writing, and some that can do both
the latter, have no original thinking
power. The latter are less capable
Of exercising the right of suffrage in
telligeDtly than the man who posses
sesS natural mother wit without any
assistance from reading. An aristoc-
racy founded on scholastic attain
ments may be better than one based
upon property, but an aristocracy of
any kind in representative Repub-
lie, established ON the principle OF
equal political rights, is not very con-
sistent, nor very democratic"
