Out of the Traces.

The following from the Nebraska City
News, small Border Ruffian sheet which
contributed its mite to the election of Bu-
chanan, by Safeguarding the Kansas emi
grants who passed through Nebraska City
last fall, will perhaps occur to the Douglas
organ being on the wrong side of the
traces:
And so to-day it is our pleasant duty
to inform our readers, far and near, that
Popular Sovereignty has arisen in Nebras-
ka, put on its high-heeled, square-toed
boots and kicked one B. B. Chapman and
one B. P. Rankin, until those two pre-
surnptuous boobies are politically defunct
and extinct.
We record their fate and hang their
distorted and recking carcasses high upon
the political gibbet, which the people so
justly erected for their use, with the same
feelings that farmer hangs dead wolf
or crow in a CONSPICUOUS place to rot and
stink-as warning lesson to other wolves
and other crows. And we never in all our
life, performed duty with such exquisite
and delicate sensations of exultation, de-
light and gratitude permeating our entire
intellectual and corporeal diversities-in
short our duty is pleasure which We would
not give up or forego for ten thousand
dollars in cash, together with Chapman's
chances of the Governorship ofthe Territory.

Chapman not Elecfed. =.

The Gazette of Bellevue, Nebraska edit
ed by r. S. McEwen, formerly of MiIlers-
burg, of the 18th inst. has column head
ed with balloon, rooster and apv ouanti-
ty of capitals, announcing the defeat of
Bird B. Chapman 10 Congress. 1t saws
that Fergusonis the successful man by 23o
votes with only one small precinct 10 be
heard fror,. The Gazette is jubilant be-
yond measure. 1t exclaims:
FERGUSON, the peoples candidate is
triumphantly elected. His Rooster is on
his feet-"proud, with head erect" allow
are the mighty fallenI" How has the
''tine gold become drossr' ssTell it not in
Gath, publish it not in the streets of On,-
aha, that Chapman is febukedl!
And it in conclusion mounts spread
eagle and scars aloft after this style:
"The country is SAFE" Ferguson is elect
ed. Shout the glad news over the length
and breadth of our beautiful prairies-let
the turbld waters of the Missouri catch the
sound, and echo back in thunder tones,
that Nebraska is safe.'

Southern Commercial COnVen-
tom n-.RevivaI of Slave Trade.

Commercial Conventions are great South
ern institutions. Of late years they have
been held annually, with about the same
practical good results as the Garrisonian
Conventions in the East. The last Con-
vention was held in Knoxville, Tennessee,
in the sultry days of August, closing on the
18th. Twelve Southern States were re-
presented, and for four days slavery and
the slave trade were made prominent sub
jccts of discussion. The speeches and the
resolutions adopted, all indicate marked
progress in slavery propagandism; and al
though the Convention did not boldly re-
solve in favor of re-opening the African
Slave Trade, it did resolve in favor of an
nulling that article of the Treaty of Wash
ington which provides that the United
States shall keep squadron on the Coast
of Africa for the purpose of suppressing
that traffic. The resolution was adopted
by a majority of 81. The following was
offered by Mr.. Spratt, editor of the Charles
ton Standard, and advocate of re-opening
the trade:
"The Convention is not possessed of in
formation sufficient at the present time, for
proper action on the subject of re-opening
the African Slave Trade, and with a view
to such information, a Committee consist
ing of the President of this Convention,
and of one member from each delegation
present, be appointed to collcc: information
in relation to the condition of the native
African, upon the wants of the South in
regard to population and labor, and report
the same to the next Convention, to be held
in Montgomery, in May next"
After protracted discussion it was adopt
ed, Yeas-Arkansas 4; Georgia 10; Ala
bama 9; Mississippi Z; Louisiana Z; South
Carolina 8; Maryland $50. Mays
Tennessee II; North Carolina 10; Florida
5; Virginia $40.
An attempt by Mr.. Page, of Alabama,
to obtain an endorsement of fillibuster
Walker met with rebuff. Only the
twenty-five votes of Louisiana, Alabama
and Georgia were cast for his proposition,
while sixty were thrown iu opposition
There is some prudence if not good sense
still lingering about Southern Commercial
Conventions.

A Dear Lesson.

Not much is known as to the cause Of
the failure of the mammoth Ohio Life and
Trust Company, but enough is known to
warrant the assertion that the immense
modified power of this giant institution
was trusted in the hands of one man.
The Directors proper reside IN Cincinnati,
where the parent bank is located. The af-
fairs of the branch bank in New York have
been under the control of cashier, hence,
for all practical purposes the Board OF d.
rectors was an imaginary body. In old
times one man controlled each bank
There was Board of Directors, but they
met seldom, and when they did meet. it
was merely to consent to what had already
been done by the cashier, or it was to de-
wise ways and means of getting out of
some difficulty which their combined sa-
gacity, had it been exercised earlier, could
have entirely avoided. The banks thus
managed, went by the board, and the Bit
ter fruits of so much experience taught
stockholders to make the Board of Direc-
tors an active body. A committee of their
number now generally pass upon all paper
offered, and the chances of loss to the bank
are thus much reduced.
The Ohio Life and Trust, evidently have
departed from that saltary rule, and hence
this crash. They allowed to be done in
New York city what the would never have
permitted under their own eye in Cincin-
natl. Why this is so is one of those mex
plicable events which every now and then
so shake confidence in human sagacity and
integrity.
The management of the Ohio Banks,
under the close supervision of Boards of
Directors, who personally give their atten-
ton to- the discounts of their banks, is the
best guarantee of the soundness of those
banks. 1t is a fact, that in some of our
largest banks, there was not, on Monday,
last, a dollar under protest. This sound,
healthy state of things is owing to tue wise
and prudent management. 1t shows the
truth of the adage that ''two heads are bet
ter than one"-a fact of particular signifi-
canoe in bank matters Cleueland Herald

PITcu THEM INTO THE OHIo.-Tbe
New Orleans Delta is anxious to have
little pl ntation discipline administered in
Western Virginia. In speaking of Thay-
er's Colonization scheme, it says:
"The leading spirit of this colonization
rascality is in no want of organs to defend
both him and his policy. In Wheeling
there is an Abolition sheet rejoicing in the
name of the Latelligencer, that stands
ready to do any sort of service in behalf of
hireIing Free Labor. just above Wheel
ing, in Brooke Co., is the Wellsburg Her
aid, devoted to emancipation. Had the
people of this dark corner of the "Old
Dominion been of right stripe, these jour
mails would long sinco have received a re-
freshing bath in the clear, deep waters of
the Ohio. Additions of that kind have
some times avery good effect upon fanatic
al Abolition journals. 1t cools their ardor
and reforms their manners"

COLONEL FREMoNrs TITLES IN CALL
FORMALLY late arrivals from California
we learn that in the District Court of
Mariposa county, the injunction suit of the
Merced Mining Company VS.. Col. Fremont,
was decided for the defendant upon gen
eral demurrer to the complaint. The in
junction had previously been dissolved by
the District Judge. The late decision of
the Supreme Court (affirming the order
granting the injunction) distinctly decides
that the owner of the soil has the right to
enjoin miners from taking gold or silver
from the land. An ejectment by Biddle
Baggs, lessee of Colonel Fremont, against
the Merced Mining Company, for the cele-
brated mount ofhis Reduction Works, was
also tried at the late term of the District
Court, and although the defendants inter-
posed an answer, in the nature of bill in
equity, insisting upon all their pretensions,
and urging every conceivable objection to
the Fremont title, protracted trial de-
cree was rendered in favor Of the plaintiff
for the possession of the land, with all the
works and Improvements, and damages fer
the detention"

Governor Walkers Quandary

In Gov. Walkers calculated Topeka
speech of June 9th, he made the following
specific pledge:
"In October next, not under the act OF
the late Territorial Legislature, but undel
the laws of Congress, you, the whole peo
pie of Kansss, have right to elect Del
egate to Congress, and to elect Terrific
rial Legislature"
This was plain and explicit; and under
it the people at once resolved to take par,
in the October election. But since ther
the Governor has announced that the elec
ton IS to be held under the act of the
late Territorial legislature" which he is de-
termined to enforce, and he has given Out
that his Topeka speech was misprinted.-
His organ at Lecomptcn alleges that wha,
he really said was this:
"In October next not only under the act
of the late Territorial Legislature, but under
the laws of Congress-" &c.
This is pitiful subterfuge, as will be
seen from other parts Of the same speech
which he has not dared to deny. For in
stance:
"My doctrine is this, that in future, when
the Constitution shall be submitted to the
vote of the citizens of Kansas, that it
shall be submitted to the yote of the yhole
people. l do not mean those who are now
registered under the territorial law. l do
not mean those who were residing here on
tie 18th of March last, but mean the
aOhole people Of Kansas, not only those
soho are here mow bua those a0ho are here
nert Fall as actual residents-that they
the people over whom these institutions
are to operate-that they, by majority of
their votes, shall decide for themselves
what shall be their social institutions"
Now this pledge is directly in the teeth
of the bogus territorial act, for that exacts
a residence of six months as a preliminary
to voting; and in the pledge here made he
distinctly says that no such provision shall
exclude them from voting. But he is go
ing to eat up his words. The six months
provision he mow announces, is to be en-
forced; and he now stands before the peo-
pie of Kansas and the nation as wilful
deceiver and the meancst of all mean fal-
sifers.

Items, Serious and ComicaI.

A lover in California sent his sweetheart
$3.50 to pay her passage to his arms, and
she hastened to take the first steamer from
New York, where she fell in the hands of
bogus ticket venders who swindled her out
of her money by means of a bogus ticket.
She wept bitterly when the truth was told
her, for she had not dime left.
The female hands of two neighboring
famlies-says Jackson (Mich.) paper
undertook, few days since, To settle an
old grudge by fight in a blackberry patch,
ank between each others fingers and the
briar bushes, they had not rag left to
either back. They followed Ewes exam
pie to the best of their ability, and went
home through the woods.
A Mr.. Webster of Niagara City, on the
Canada side, owing demands cf sundry
creditors, fled to the American side, going
over to visit his Canadian friends on Sun
day, when not liable to arrest on civil ac-
ton. A reward Of $4,000 was offered to
any one who would place Mr.. w. in Cana
da on a week day, and on one of the Sun
day visits Mr.. Peck interested himself in
the unfortunate debtors affairs, and SYM
pathized with him So often that Mr.. Web
ster "got tight" and quarrelsome, which re-
suited in fight, when Mr.. Webster was
arrested for breach of the peace and de-
tanned until Monday morning, when the
Canadian authorities nabbed him on the
civil prosecution, as an absconding debtor.
A Mrs. Kaltenbacher, of Cincinnati,
young and handsome wife of two years, be-
coming suspicious that her husband had
transferred his affections from her to an
unmarried sister living with them, became
desponding and took poison from which
she died on Sunday last.

Southern Presbyterian COnve n
tiOn.

The New School Presbyterians who Sc.
ceded from the General Assembly, under
the lead of DR.. Ross, met in Convention at
Richmond, Virginia, August 2sth. Some
one hundred and twenty delegates were in
attendance. The usual officers were cho-
sen, and committee on resolutions was
appointed. In debating resolution on or
ganization it was stated that number OF
churches which sympathized with the move
ment were not represented from motives
of delicacy, because they were presided
over by New England Clergymen; but
that these, Notwithstanding, had sent
members to express sympathy and give as
surances of future cooperation.
The next day the Convention adopted
three of the resolutions reported by the
committee, declaring in substance that the
Presbyterians sympathzing with the OBJ
jects Of the Convention be invited to with
draw from their present ecclesiastical rela-
tions; and that nothing can be made the
basis for discipline in the Presbyterian
Church, which is not specifically referred
to in the constitution as crime or heresy.-
The resolution recommending that all
Presbyterians opposed to the agitation of
slavery, appoint delegates to the Assembly
at.Knoxville, Tennessee, on the third Tues
/ day Of May next, for the purpose of organ
izing a General Synod under the name of
the United States Synod of the Presbyte-
rian Church of America, led to an exciting
debate, but was not disposed of when the
Convention adjourned over to Monday.-
