very certain, that these parties, who so vocfer-
ously and approximately invite every one TO Join
them, do not intend to cheat themselves; there
is but one alternative, and that is, that all the
others are to be cheated The form Of the
cat, though covered with meal, lies clearly and
fully in view. Will free-trader expect help
from tariffman by joining this league?
Will an anti-Pacific man expect help from
Pacific Railroad man? and here we have the
Abolitionists counting the flbusters, under as
surance that ilibuster shall have equal
chances with themselves in case of victory.
But the fact of these invitations being made,
shows how utterly hopeless is the reasonable
war upon the Constitution and the rights of
States.
The Express Of New York, which is familiar
with the history of the Black Republican party
and of its leaders, which knows perfectly their
iutrigues and purposes, most truly says, that
these perpetual shrieks for freedom are in
tended only as cover for rascally schemes Of
plunder by men who would have no scruple in
enslaving and selling free Africans, but whose
whole career and purpose is summed upin one
sentence-pursuit of plunder. Every party,
without exception. alike despices and ds,rusts
them"
If, contrary to possibility such chaotic
party could be gotten together, it would GER
tainly rival Falstaff's immortal regiment, and
many political Falstaffs will be in command
The mere supposition of such conglome
rate of moral and political putriescences being
brought together, must excite derision; and
yet to accomplish their schemes of plunder, the
Black Republicans are devoting all their ener
gies to this purpose.

CRUELTY OF THE NATIONAL INTEL
LIGENCER TO IT'S NEIGHBOR OF
THE WAsHlNGr UNION.

The following from the National Intelligent
Ger shows the cruel and unnatural punishment
which it has inflicted upon its neighbour OF
the Union. We fear our respected neighbors
of the Latelhgencer, have forgotten the divine
maxim, Love your neighbour as YOURSELF
for otherwise it would never have made such
an exposure of its contemporary. 1t is awful,
and we do sincerely pity our neighbour from
the bottom Of our heart.
"'He aimeth to scale high wall, and, 10! he
falleri over straw" ."'-Od prorerb
1T is quite evident to us that the Editor Of
the Union reads the Lteltigencer more atten.
lively than he does his own paper. The Union
of yesterday contains an article casigating the
London Times for displaying IAN air of ANA.

lowing remark, which seems 10 imply some re.
proach ofus for copying the article:
"This reflection is forcibly suggested TO us by
a late leader Of the Times which we find copied
in the Htelligeacer, and which appears to have
been conceived in the sole purpose" &c.
"Now, ifthere was any thing wrong in copy
ing the ItMeS leader, ali we have 10 say IN
extenuation is that we copied it from the
columns of the Union itself, where it appeared
on Saturday last. We are not obiecting to a
careful perpsal of the IateUigencer by our neigh.
Dor Of the Upion although it be in searching
for 'motes, but he should not neglect his own
columns too much lest an occasional beam
escape him at home"
But in Thursday,s Union we find another
mighty ugly piece of work. What does il
mean hy refusing to publish the whole Of the
memoir Of Mr.. Buchanan from the pen, as il
asserts, of Mr.. Forney, its late associate-and
apologies for not doing so, because of its
STRICT NEUTRALITY resolves?
Is this truly the reason, WHEN ONLY THr
DAY BEFORE, it had a long, strong EDITORIAL
in favor Of Mr.. Buchanan, which so enchant

tinel Of Saturday, despite our apprehension
that few more such, might make, The Union

tional Hymn.
The following brief history of this world re-
nowned national anthem, from the columns of
one of our exchanges, will be interesting.
Mile PARoDr will sing it here this evening.
Go and hear her.
The history Of this song, now heard in
France no more, now crushed down in the
heart of the French people, now made to give
way to Partant pour Ia Syrie, is not without
interest as a matter of history. 1t was COM
posed, both words and music, by a young roy
alst officer of artillery Robert de Lisle by
name He was stationed at Strasburg at the
time when France was heaving with the throes
of the revolution. He was famed throughout
the country as favorite Of the muses. of peo-
try and song. The winter of 1892 was one Of
scarcity in Strasburg, and at the table Of poor
acquaintance, Deitrick, who could set but little
food before his guest De Lisle always found a
bottle of generous wine. 1t was on an evening
of this gloomy season of want and of turmoil,
when Deitrick and De Lsle were warming
themselves with the old Falernian,' that the
former proposed TO the latter that he should
produce one Of those hymns which convey to
the soul of the people the enthusiasm which
suggested it, De Lisle repaired at midnight
to his lodgings, and there, on his clavicord,
now composing the air before the words and
now the words before the air, in a sort Of fren
~ struck off a hymn, which, says q distin-
| guished French writer, seems recovered
echo Of Thermopla-it was heroism sung
Overcome at length, and exhausted, he fell
| asleep, and it was not until the next day that
he wrote out the hymn and presented il to his
| friend Deitrick The hymn Of the country was
| found. Alas it proved the requiem to poor
Deitrick. He went to the scaffold to its notes
within year.
| 1t flew from city to city. AT the Opening
and close of the clubs in Marseilles, it was sung
and hence its name. De Lise himself, pro
scribed as a royalist heard that song while fee
ing for safety from his country, and what he
| had created in moment of enthusiasm and az
an incentive to freedom, became the death cry
of the revoluionists, and stirred the blood o
desperate men to the most fearful deeds Of ty
ranny and terror"

Horrible Tragedy In Louisiana--A Hus-
band Hung by his Wife.
The Natchitoches (La.) Chronicle of the
22d ult., gives an account of the murder of
John Rodrigo by his wife and her paramour,
Matthew Bresente. The Chronicle says
Rodrigo having what he thought lust
grounds to suspect his wife's fidelity, threaten
ed to bring her to sense of virtue. For this
she had him bound over to keep the peace.
The paramour Of the bad woman then contriv-
ed the idea Of getting rid Of the husband. A
few nights afterwards he and the wife seized
Rodrigo while asleep, and after binding him
hand and foot, dragged him about mile from
the house, where, placing rope around his
neck, In spite Of his prayers and shrieks for
mercy, they hung him and beat him to death
with stick. After the guilty parties had sue.
ceeded in killing their unfortunate victim, they
covered the body with logs, sticks and such
things.
After lapse of nearly month, Gabriel Ros.
ales, who had been forced by threats to accom-.
pany the murderers, and witness their terrible
deeds, moved by compunctions of conscience.
communicated the intelligence of the horrid act
to the coroner of the parish, whereupon the
man Bresente and bis paramour Juana were
arrested. On accompanying the witness to the
spot, which was designated by him, the body
of the murdered man was found. The muir
derers were examined before Justice Payne
and committed to Jail. Since the commitment,
Bresente has confessed his guilt.
