6J-As Joseph III, Emperor Of Austria, was
drv ng his onc-horse ct'r.Olet, dressed IN the
garb Of private citizen, he was accoSted by
soldier who, ThistSking him for a mln of the
middle class, requested seat in the vehicle.
Willingly replied the Emperor. jump IN
coniradc, for Pm in a hurry
The soldier was soon seated alongside of the
Emperor, and became very loqn2cious.
Come comrade,' said he slapping the En-
Emperor amiliarly on the back, are you good
at guessing"
Perhaps am said Joseph; try me-
well, then, my boy cohjure up Jour wits,
and tell me what l had for breakfast.

Come, none of that, comrale. Try it again.
Perhaps Westphalia ham, replied the En-
eeror, willing to huInor his sOmpanio".
Better than that exclaimed the soldier
'Sausages from Bologna, and Hockhemer from
the Rhne.'
Better than that. Dye give it up?

Open your eyes and ears then, said the sol
dier, bluntly. L had pheasant by Jove, shot

When the exultation of the soldier had snb.
sided, Joseph said, quietly.

See if you can naIiie the rank hold
You're a-no, hang it! you're not smart
enough for a cornet."

Better than that
The soldier was now iGarfitlly agtated. He
had doffed his hat and sat bareheaded. He cod
scarcely articulate.
Pardon me- your Excellency, you are a field

Better than that, replied Joseph.
Lord heln men cried the soldier, you're the

He threw himself out of the cahriolet, and
knelt for pardon in the mud The circunstan,
ces were not forgotten by either; the Emperor
often laughed over it, and the soldier received
mark of favor which he could not forget.

0E1.-lhe Statesman by it's silence, admits
that we Nefe correct in the view we took Of its
Construction of the Constitutional o. S. Jomnqk
Does the Journal design to be Judged by
that same rule? We are well aware Of the adj
age that "silence gives consent;' but it does not
always hold good. The Journal is silent as to
the constitutional authority the Governor had
to borrow the money to pay the July interest,
and his neglect to call the legislature. Are we
thereby to understand that the Journal consid-
ers Governor Chase's conduct indefcnsible ex-
cept on the ground Of emergency" He had
ample time to call the Legislature, vnd that body
would have had ample time to authorize the
Fund Commissioners to obtain the amount ne
eessary legady. But disregarding the Constitu
ton, and not having very high opinion of the
Legislature, Gin which we agree with the Gov
ernor) although the journal considered it the
best working Legislature that ever convened,
he assumed to himself its Constitutional power
and "let it slide. - Statesman.

Nut for Black Republicans
Crack it who BareS!

Our Black Republ can friends IN this vicinity
profess to be extremely anxious that the guilt of
the late enormous dealcation of the State
Treasurers should rest where it rghtfully be-
lOngs(O They deprecate the idea Of screen
ing Gibson from the charges made against him
while at the same time they are doing all in their
powerto place the guilt on the shoulders Of Bres-
lin. They have suddenly become the a'gtinct-
ing advocates of official purity, and hold up their
hands in holy, hypocrtical horror at the late oc-
culTences at the capital.
We will take them at their word! And as
honest men we call upon them to refute if they
can the following grave charge, which we take
from late number of the Ohio Patriot. ltthey
cannot refute, at least by their open condemna-
ton of the conduct of Gov. Chase, let them clear
their own skirts from all completely in the
State robbery Here is char &c to retrieve or ac-

Representative McCurdy, Of Jefferson

past week, en- route for Cleveland. Having an
hour or so to spend among his old friends and
former fellow citizens, he made it convenient to
call at our sactum and hold a brief conversation
about 'matters and things in general and the
joint defalcation OF Brcslin and Gibson in par
ticular. "Mac' was in the Legislature the

posted with few banks W ch proved to be IN
solvent, and knows, so far as the books are con
cerued, that Gibson is the principle detauter.---
lie acknowledged, however, that "the books
were wrong and that Gibson lied though he
made them out and signed them under oats,---

What shall we do with Gibson's promised under

A Republican Editor Os' OFsaO Ar
rested sOr EEHeg5iEg tfse Esaia.

John Caskey, the editor of the Holmes Coun-
ty Republican, Il violent Republican sheet has
been arrested on charge of robbing the mail
He has been indicted by the Grand Jury. The
following are the circumstances OF the case: -
Caskey went into the post Office for the purpose
of mailing letter with thirty dollars in money
to be sent to Cincinnati lie gave the money,
letter and envelop to Mr.. Tidball the Postmls-
ter, to seal mp and register. Iidball placed the
money in, scaled the letter and layed it down
upon his table, He then turned away to call
his son to write receipt, leaving Caslley stand
ing by the table, and when he came back he
found the supposed same letter lying about the
same place. After Caskey had left the Office
Tidball picked up the letter. and uFor ex4min-
ing it, became suspicious that there was TO mo-
ney in it, or that it was another letter. He tore
open the enyel0p and found that it contained
nothing but piece OF brown paper Heimme,
diately went to Ca>key and demanded an cx,
plaration, when the latter pulled out of his
pocket and handed over the original letter CON
taining the money.

Negro 3lqsa3siidy.

We make the following extract from the Lam
caster Gazette, which still holds to the doctrine
of "Sam," but cannot go the "nigger." Nor do
we think that cold Fairfield" will consent to
swallow so unSavory a morsel as is rendered by
the Journal in advocating NEGRO equality"
at would sectn that Bro. Scouler, and fiiany
of the leading organs OF the Republican party,
are unc0mpromsing advocates Of the doctrines
ofncgro equality. Whatever was their condi-
ton in the order of creation, we leave for 9th
ers to speculate upon. But as a race and people
under existing conditions, all observing men
must acknowledge that they are greatly inferior
to tie white race in point ofeducation, inell-
gehce, and capacity for self government That
their want of capacity has resulted mainly
through the laws ofhereditary descent by the
ages ofignorance and oppression, which they
have endured there is but little doubt; and that
a revised policy giving them freedom, with all
the facilities Of education and intelligence wo'd
in time restore them to the maximum of their
primitive power morally and intellectually, we
are free to admit But this is not the question.
Government is a sacred tnst. and one that can l.
not be rightly discharged without capacity, in
telligetice and integrity.
"Wherc is the prudent farmer with his large
household who would take upon his premises
some half dozen liberated slaves or, if you please
foreign peat disgers, and give them an equal
voice in the government ofhis family and his bl-
siness transactions? Or where is the lady de-
sirous of "discoursng sweet music" that would
call on them to tune her piano? We hold that
these people have right to the full enjoyment
ofall the laws we make for our own protection
and government But, that good policy and JUS
tice demand that they should be restrained from
the exercise Of the political franchises; this we
hold to be Of equal importance to the negro, the
foreigner and the native born citizen,all ofwhom
have common interest in a liberal and good gov
ernment We, therefore, hold, under existing
circumstances, in view ofthe ignorance and cIe-
dulity of this people, and the corruption ofthe
age, that it is madness and folly, and smacks
strongly of anaticism to claim for them political
equality.
"Iuet all who desire to enjoy civil and religi-
ious liberty, and, to transmit unimpaired to pos
terity, the glorious privileges we have inherited
from the sages the revolution be prepared to
meet the issue.'

opposition to the submission of the constitution
Of Kansas to the people. In that, as In eve y.
thing elsei the extremes meet In Rhode Island
the constitution was only submitted to the peo-
pile after desperate and protractod contest
For two hundred years it continued to be gov
erned by royal charter; granted by that most
worthless and protligatc of the British Kings,
Charles the Second. The people had to take
up arms and threaten & revolution before they
could abrogate this charter and get popular
constitution. Until the New England States
submit their own constitutions to the people,
they are not in condition to advise very appro-
pratey in regard to the course to bc pursued

CONSISTENT FARcE.--On the / lth of July an
election was held throughout the State of Kan
Sas, for delegates to a convention to amend and
revise the Topeka constitution. This conyen-
ton was called, we suppose, by the Legislature
of the State, elected under the Topeka constitu-
ton. This is of itself funny enough, but it is
absolutely ridiculous yet perfectly Characteristic
when it is considered along side of the third
section of the 18th article Of the Topeka consti-
tuition.
The 10th article article provides the manner
in which the constitution shall be amended, VIZ:
by two third votes Of two successive legislatures
and subsequent submission of the proposed
amendments to the people. The 3D. section
then provides:
'No CONVENTION for the formation ofa con-
stitution shall be called, and NO AMENDMENT to
the constitution shall be, by tho general assem-
dly, made before the year 1865, nor more than
ONE in five years thereafter
