Neufchatel.

Where is Neutchatel? Look to the map;
there it is, so much bit Of Switzerland that
if it were taken away you would say some
thing was wanting. Go there, and you find
yourself on Swiss lake, across which you
see the Bernes, Alps and Mont Blanc; and
what is more, your find yourself shut in by
the vast range Of the Jura, which nature
itself made to be the wall of nations. Every
thing is Swiss about it, from the fantastic
costume adorned with little silver chains, to
the rather showy Hotel de Vile, Museum
and College, with its several hundred elepes
of all ages, larking about on the shores of
the lake-all these buildings founded by a
citizen Of the town. To tourists the place
is two days journey, in the interior from
Bale. But who disputes the fact? Whoever
does so must at least be a sworn foe to geo
graphy. But the fact is disputed, and that
by the most geographical State in the world.
Prussia, that lies in pieces over the map of
Europe, like the fragments Of shell, says
that Neufchatel is hers, and actually talks
of recovering it by force of arms. Little
more than a century ago, by dint OF hard
bribing she got a very bad title to very
equivocal 'protectorship" acknowledged by
Europe. The said protectorship, even then
an evanescent property, was afterwards
knocked about in the wars of the revolution,
given by Bonaparte to Berther, and only
restored at last to Persia in about the same
condition as the curious old title to the king
dom of Jerusaem-extant somewhere, in
deed, in several places. At the great crash
in 1913 what was left of the thing, a coat of
arms, or partcolored post, was thrown down
and Prussia was congratulated on being saved
a property which consisted in the expense
Of bribing a clique Of partisans. In the
course of this year the said partisans,
having among them one or two people who
find no favor in the eyes of Republicans,
seized the bit of a chateau, with its pictur-
esque little quadrangle, in which the minia-
ture government is carried on. The next
day they were stitled like wasps in their own
net, and the leaders put in durance, for there
is thriving, independent population in the
neighborhood, besides federal camp on the
shores of the lake, which leave the little city
itself small choice in the question. Nothing
was more simple, but the king Of Prussia,
who has been obliged to acquiesce in the
loss of his nominal honors ever since l949,
now demands that his friends shall be re-
leased without trial. the federal council has
unanimously refused to do so, though ready
to negotiate with Prussia on civil terms

CLERICAL TYRANNY.-We see it stated
that the Seventh Day Bapsist Church at
Walworth, Wisconsin, has excommunicated
all its members who refused to vote for
Fremont at the late election. What a beau
tiful illustration of Christian meekness and
charity How strictly in accordance with
the divine precept Judging from the above
we are led to conclude that religion is at a
discount with these self-righteous negro
worshippers-these bigoted shriekers for
freedom. If the Catholic Church had done
similar disgraceful act, every Black Repub-
lican and Know Nothing press throughout
the Union would have set up howl of in
dgnation at such an interference with polit-
ical matters. 1t would have furnished a
fruitful theme for many hypocritical SER
monzier to vent his spleen against the 10
norant Catholics and the corrupt Democrat
ic party. Fortunately the members of that
church, and especially its teachers, never
meddle with politics, but grant the largest
tolerance to its members on political ques-
tons. When the $500 New England, call
ed by courtesy, clergy-men, demonstrated
against the passage of the "Nebrasha swim
die" and hurled their basphemous anathe-
mas on the devoted head of Stephen A.
Douglass not Catholic Priest signed the
remonstance.-'lhe did not interfere with
question puarly political IN It's nature 1t
was an exciting question, it is true, but not
a religious one. As good if not better,
Christians than the clergymen who oflicious-
ly attempted to defeat it, conscientiousy be-
ieved it just and proper Their opinion
was entitled to consideration even if it con
tlcted with that entertained by the immacu
late $500. Protestant clergymon may med
die with politics with impunity, their mo-
tives must not be questioned, they arc en-
bodiment Of learning, patriotism and piety,
but it is criminal in Catholic priest to
follow their example, according to the con
sistent doctrine of Know Nothingism and
Black Republcanism. Minister'S OF the Cos
pei, at least those who are really sincere and
truly pious, never take an active part in pol
itcs To take leading part is derogatory
to their sacred character, disturbs the har-
mony Of their congregation, engenders ami
mostly, DESTROYS their influence and casts a
stigma on religion. A ocorthy teacher of
religion cannot be a prominent politician.
An unworthy one, such as has charge Of the
congregation at Walworth, is disgrace to
his profession and 4 hypocritic Of the first
order.-NoU1sf0ja Democrat

Kossuth and Louis Napoleon.

In the course Of an address recently de-
livered in Edinburgh, Kossuth held this re-
markable language:-
"What stands between the raising Of the
worlds arm and its falling on the neck of
despotism! 1t is the momentary success Of
one man-only one man, poor worm Of
the dust, doomed to return TO dust-and his
name is Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. Cheers.)
Sir, do not believe in the stability of sue
cessful crime. | will venture to contrast my
own humble lot with the brilliant one of that
potentate. | eat with my children the bitter
bread of homeessness; | am staggering joy
less towards an obscure grave. For inheri
tance my children may get a legacy Of sor
row, yet Of devotion to their country's cause.
Such is my lot, but, whatever may be my
faults, my errors, or even my sins, never have
| broken oaths, never have deceived ma
tions, never trifled with the duties Of an
honest patriot. cloud cheers) Bonaparte
on the contrary, sits high in power, dazzling
the eyes of short hted man with the lustre
Of his propitious star. Still | do not believe
in the stability of successful crime. cloud
cheers.) From the depth of my desolation |
turn my eyes to the universe, and from the
stars in the firmament down to the atom of
dust at my feet, see creation crying out
aloud that there is a God. The feeble spark
of His eternal spirit glimmering in my brain
my reason revots against the thought that
it should lie at the mercy of adventurous
crime to break the eternal chain Of moral
laws which, by the sovereign decree of an
omnipotent and selfconsistent will, have rul-
Al I -, Il
rule it to the consummaton of time. My
reason revolts against the thought that a
worm, the offspring of the dust, can with
impunity defy those laws by which the Eter-
nal Lawgiver has bound, not only the huc-
tuations of human events but has bound his
own immovable WILL"

A Yankee Restores to the Russians their
Fleet.


1t will be doubtless well remembered that
when the late war broke out, and the Allies
menaced Sebastopol, the Russians sunk their
fleet in the barbor, both to prevent its being
taken, and to close the mouth of the channel.
The vessels sunk were sixteen war-steamers,
four 12O-gun ships, fifteen 84-gun ships, nine
frigates, and numerous brgs, schooners,
transports and merchantmen.
An American engineer has now contracted
to raise the wrecks. The enterprising con-
tractor is J. E. Gowan, Of Boston, the man
who raised the wreck of the steamship Mis-
souri,, in the harbor of Gibraltar, under con
tract with our Government The wreck
had lain eight years in that harbor, and the
British Government made continued at
tempts for three years to remove it, until
the English engineers gave up in despair,
and reported that human ingenuity could
not free the harbor from that danger. The
British Cabinet then requested that the gov
ernment of the United States would take
the matter in nand, and it sent out live
Yankee, who effected the desired purpose in
sixty days. under contract of tifty-nine thou
sand dollars. This achievement was looked
upon with great surprise in England.
When Mr. Gowen reached Moscow last
summer, to lay his proposals before the Rus
sian Government, he found the ground al
ready covered with French and English en-
gineers, some of whom had been there for
months. He called upon Duke Constantine,
laid before him the report Of the English en-
gineers, stating the removal Of the Missouri
from the harbor of Gibraltar to be imposs-
BILE, and Marcy's certificate that he had done
it in sixty days, at a very low price You
are Just the man for me-" said Constantine,
and in twenty four hours the contract was
signed, and your Yankee was on his way to
Sebastopol to survey his ground. The Rus
sial Government placed small steamer at
his disposal, and showed him how the opera
ton of sinking the ships had been done,
and the Boston man said he could return
pretty near half of them in good order, and
clear away the remainder.
He is now making his arrangements in
this city and in Philadel phia. All the ma
chinery will be prepared and shipped from
here for Sebastopol early in the spring, and
will be accompanied with large corps of
American engineers, ship-carpenters, and so
forth

A NEGLECTED CRuMB.-The $4,000 of
gold dust, belonging to the State, remarks
the Sacramento Union at the time of the
resignation OF the late State Treasurer and
which should than have been in the vaults,
has never "tumed up" and has not been
accounted for The apology given for its
abstraction was that it had been sent to the
mint for coinage, and that the mint receipt
would be forth coming. 1t has however,
not been produced and the only interference
to be drawn at this time is, that the money
has been used for private purposes. We
doubt if it over will find its way back to the
Treasury. 1t is more than probable that Col.
Rowe, the honest, pure-mindel, trusted clerk
ofDr.Bates, has made away with it long ago.
Col. Watkins, investigate the matter and
ascertain whether it was sent to the mint.

SERVED THEM RGur-A Northern Ex-
change tells the following good story on a
choripari party:
At wedding recently near Rochester,
n. T., a party of tn-pan serenaders paid a
visit and were invited in when the bride
gracefully profered the wine and cake with her
own hands.-Afler partakng very heartily
oftho same, they went away quietly, aSham-
ed of what they had done. Scarcely had
they reached their respective homes before
they were seized with violent sickness
and vomiting, and they all thought they
were poisoned. 1t appeared that the bride
had got wind Of tho intended "compli-
ment,n and had madea cake in which was
mixed plentiful supply of ippecac for the
unnvited guests The thorough emetic no
doubt had desired and salutary effect, and
the "biters" acknowledged themselves bad
ly bitten" that time.

God made both tears and laughter, and
both for kind purposes: for as laughter ena-
bles mirth and surprise to breathe freely, so
tears enable sorrow to vent itself patiently.
Tears hinder sorrow from becoming despair
and madness; and laughter is one of the very
privileges Of reason, being confined to the
human species.

Occupations of the Americans.

the people of the United States are curious
and instructive The number OF BARRIERS and
brokers are about the same, and between the
two, people get we'll shaved. There are
about eighty professed doctors to one pro
tessional undertaken Only eighty-two peo-
pie informed the census takers that they were
}'authors," while no less than two thousand
individuals assumed to be "artists.' There
are one hundred thousand blacksmiths, and
the same number Of merchants. The lawyers
outnumber the bankers by ten thousand,
there being twenty four thousand Of the for
mer and fourteen thousand of the latter
The hatters and tobacconists are about equal.
The carpenters number two hundred thou
sand; the masons sixty four thousand the
tailors fifty thonsand; the saddlers twenty
three thousand. There are more confection-
ers than watch makers; more weavers than
teachers; more vinegar makers than show
men; and the same number of wagon makers
as editors. Strange to relate, that among
the returns of the trades, not politician Is

Revolution and Treason.
We have good authority for saying that
there are certain persons, high in official
position in this State, and, we believe, not a
great way from the capitol, who are deliber-
a,ely plotting treason against our State Gov
ernment. The project, we are informed, is
this: TO issue, without the authority of the
Legislature, circular to the people announ~.
cling to them that the State Government is
virtually dissolved by the late decisions of
the Supreme Court, and that it is necessary
therefore, to take immediate action for the
establishment of new system of things:
and further calling upon them to hold con
ventions in the several counties for the cleo
tion of delegates to a general convention to
meet in this city, at some early and convent
ent season, for taking into consideration the
proper measures to be adopted for the fu-
ture.
