The Result OF RIors.-Ths Louis
vile Democrat says that city is in happy
condition-that I" she is out of funds, has
no Fire Department, no work to do, prop
erty ready for sale, but no bidder, plenty
room in vacant hoses, with but few to oc-
cupy them. Multitudes OF the foreign
horde are gone, and know-nothings gone
after them, finding no work to do here. ="
The Democrat also remarks that there is
no occasion to build any of the houses
burned on Bloody Monday" for" there
are left rather more than there are tenants
for lust now" The Journal very bitterly
denies that Louisville is in such a condi-
ton, threatens the Democrat with dire
punishment for its plain talk, and dares
the editor thereof, or any other Sag -Nitcht
to prove before jury that any know-noth-
ings {" American citizens either burnt
any houses, shot any body, or stole any
thing during the riots. 1t Is. however.
evident that the Louisville riots were a
blow to the prosperity of that town from
which it will never recover.

AND MILLARD FILLMORE TOO HAs
BEEN pEMocRAr.-The National n. Y
Democrat says of the most formidable
weapons which eur Democratic friends
can use against Mr.. Fillmore, is the evoca-
tion Of "reminiscences of his Anti Masonic
experience. That terrible whirlwind of
bigotry, ignorance and mendacity, called
the Anti Masonic party, which swept the
weston part of New York and Pennsylya-
MIA thirty years since; first brought Fill
more into public life. The Anh-Masons
took him out of the Democratic party and
elected him to the Assembly. The Buff.
alo Courier produces the proceedings of the
Anti Masonic Convention, on the 18th
October 1923. which nominated Mr.. Fill
more and denounced Free Masonry.

WALKER AND NIcAaAeuA-Walker, says
a writer, is pursuing very decided and
energetic cource in Nicaragua, having fol.
lowed up the formal extension of the sove-
reignty Of that government over tina Mos
quito Territory by taking possession of the
small steamers Of the Transit Company in
Nicaragua, annulling their character, and
granting the same privileges to another
company. The secret of this matter is,
that by the terms of its incorporation, the
Transit Company engaged to pay, to
Nicaragua so much per head for each pas
senger carried across its territory that a
large sum is now due, which the company
has failed to pay, and consequently Walk
er has resorted to the only remedy in his
power to enforce the rights Of his govern
ment. 1t is a bold movement, and will be
very apt to accomplish the object de-
signed.

of Massachusetts, offered the following;
Whereas, the twelfth section Of the Ma.

READY FOR THE FIGHr.-Since the
rumor of an outbreak at Lawrence, there
have been TIVE companies, conta ming abou:
seventy men each, under arms in this
city and ready to start at a moments
warning, to the seat of war. From in

think that the law and order party will be
again compromised and another treaty
made with the lawless scamps. at is en-.
tirely too humilia,ing." Governor Shannon
thinks, "to require these traitors to give
up their arms" but they can, with perfect
impunity, resist the laws of the Territory,
and shoot down the officers of the law,
while IN the discharge of their duties, and
then are recognised as equals with the
Government party and peace made with

B Asthe present year is one in which
universal custom allows ladies the nr;~,- nv

menial speculations, We snbjoin the follow.
ing formula which prevailed among .bs
Cossacks of ths Ukraine, two hundred
years ago:
The maiden goeth fs the house of the
father of the young man whom she lova,b
when she thinketh the family be all N.

the father and mother to consent TO their
marriage. If she receive refusal or an
excuse, az that he is too young or not vet
ready to marry, she answereth that she
viii not depart until he hath espoused her.
Thus she perssvereth and persistelh in re.
naming until she hath obtained favorable
answer to her demands"
"After several weeks the father and
mother are not only constrained to give
their consent, but also to look upon him
more favorably. At the same time, she
young man. seeing the maiden so deter

to regard her as one who is destined to be
the mistress of his desires. Finally hs
prayeth his father and mo.her to permit
him to espouse her. Thus she accomplish
eth her purpose, and the entire family, thro'
fear OF incurring the wrath of God by .ex-
pelling her from their house, are con-
strained to give their consent to the Un.
ion."

HIGH AND DRY.-The popular steamey
Albatross, Capt. C. d. Robinson, arrived

that point at night, no light to be seem
and the river was at high food-the town

Where's your wharfboata Show a

captain.
''The wharfboat's drifted off-there aint
no lights ahout-and you can't land no
freight" was the categorical reply.
"Show light" shouted the captain,
"and let US see how to get in"
"Show light yourself, and let me see
how to get out"
"Where are you :" cried the captain.
" Up tree" answered a voice.
The boat sent cut her yawl, and sure
enough found a man with bundle under
his arm, perchsd into a tree, the rising
waters stealing slowly upon his resting
place.

Several months ago. large petition nu-

- IN KAEsAs!i>
The .fbolifionists IN open Rebellion Sheriff
Jones Murdered by the Traitors ~
Kansas is once more In commotion- -she
Traitors of Lawrence, have again set the
laws OF the Territory, at defiance. and this
time have added murder to their many
crimes. Sheriff Jones of Douglas Coun-
ty, than whom a braver man never lived,
has been murdered whilst in the perform
ance of his official duties-shot down by
the thieving- -paupers of the North, who are
shipped to Kansas to infringe upon the
rights of Southern settlers-murder, them
when opportunity ofers-steal their prop
erty, and if possible, to raise storm that
will cease only with the Union itself.
The excitement in this city, during the
past week. has been very great. Rumors
of various kinds, have reached us, and
although we believed difficulty had oc-
CURED, we were not prepared to hear of
such lamentabie news-the death of the
patriot ones. HIS DEATH MUST BE
AVENGED. HIS MURDER SHALL BE
AVENGED, if at the sacrifice of every abo-
litionist in the Territory. If the pro-
slavery party will quietly set still and see
our friends, one by one, murdered by these
assassins, without raising their arms 10 pro-
tect them, we much mistake their charac-
ter. Will they again allow a Northern
Governor to cheat them out of their just
revenges We answer emphatically, NO /!
If the Governor of this Territory and the
Administration at Washington, any longer
attempts to force US to assume the position
of outlaws, before we can have justice
done US, the sooner such contingency
arises. the better. We are now In favor
of levelling Lawrence, and chastising the
Traitors there congregated, should it result
in total destruction of the Union. If we
are to have war, let it come now! While
the memory of our murdered friends,
Clark and Jones, are fresh in our memo
RES, we can coolly and determinedly enter
into the contest, let it result as it may.
We do not approve of the course of the
Governor, in calling out the United States
Troops to enforce the laws of the Terrific
~. It looks to US as virtual admission
that the law and order party Of Kansas
are not strong enough within themselves,
- tho .z,.-
We think great injustice has been done
US, by again attempting TO smoother down
our injuries and permitting those who have
committed offences and murdered our
friends, to escape punishment. The Kan
sas militia should have been called upon
to assist ID enforcing the laws, and il they
should not prove sufficient, we would then
be willing to surrender up the Territory
and acknowledge ourselves to be intruders.
If we do not get ample satisfaction at the
hands of the powers that be, there is a
way in which matters can be ssraightened
and our wrongs and injuries resented.
We are not in the mood to advise line
of policy to be pursued, but will leave the
matter with our friends for future action.

viii be found all the news from Lawrence,
up to the time of going to press.
