A country woman was carrying on very
simple process against neighbor in one Of
the small courts Of Germany. The attorney
of the opponent pestered her with SO much
ofchicanery and, legal subtleties, that she
lost ell patience and interrupted him thus:
any lord, the case is simply this: be-
smoke ofmy opponent, the carpet maker, .
carpet. with figures which were to be as
handsome as my Lord, the Judge; and he'
wants now TO force me to take one with hor.
rible carictures, uglier even than his attor.
ney Was / not right in breaking of the
bargain?'
The court laughed at the comparison, the
attorney was stupe6ed, and the woman won
the case.

The following is the declaration of four
hundred Germans of Cleveland, Ohio, who
have become disguised with the Sham De-
mocracy on account of the open alliance be-
tween that party and the Known othings:
'sWe, the undersigned, naturalized citi-
zens of Cleveland, have heretofore cheerful
ly supported the Democratic ticket, from the
fact that we were innocent enough to sup
pose the party was liberal in it's views, and
opposed to Know Nottingham; but from re-
cent developments, we are satisfied the party
only wishes to use us merely as s'hewers Of
wood" and drawers Of WATER" treating us
kindly before election and kicking us after
ward. We therefore pledge ourselves to alb
stain from supporting the Democratic ticket
al the coming election, for the following
reasons:
LIST. A majority of the officers holding Of
fee under our Democratic President, are
know-Nothings .,...
I'd Several individuals on our State tick
ct belong to the order.
Sd. A majority of our city officers, elected
as Democrats, belong to the order.
We have, heretofore, by our votes, built up
the Democratic party, and in return for our
sulrages, we have received nothing but con-
tumcly and insult
We leave them, therefore, in the language
Of Harrison, to edo their own voting and
their own ighting."

CHRISTOPHER MIGRATIoN.-A Minnesots
correspondent of Chicago paper expresses
the conviction that the grasshoppers that
lave been ravaging portions of Minnesota
will reach the Atlantic States before their
destructive mission is ended. This opinion
has been elected in reply to the one expressed
that the grasshopper plague was peculiar OR
incidental to Utah and Minnesota. The
writer is in possession of facts which show
that these grasshoppers migrated from the
Pacific shore. lie says:
"Nothing but the interposition of Divine
Providence Will prevent the annual devasta-
ton of these insee IS in every State east of

not reach under three years, having been

Illinois. 1t is to be feared their eggs will be

TIE STATE CANvAss-We have been Der
mitted to see letter addressed to Wm.
Penn. Clarke, Esq, written at Osceois,
Clark county. That was the last point OF
the canvass at which the opposing candi-
dates for Governor met in discussion. judge
Lowe, says the writer, stands the canvass
admirably, and makes an excellent impress
sion among the people. Mr.. Samuels begins
to flag, and is very we'll satisfied to proceed
alone, Mr.. Gillaspy expressed desire to
accompany the Judge and divide the time.
The arrangement was promptly acceded to
by our candidate. We are particularly well
pleased with this arrangement, because it
removes all excuse for declination on the
part of Samu.ls to meet Mr.. O'Connor. Our
friends, we are assured, are in the best spir-
its. in the counties thus far canvassed. They
promise to poll fnlI Republican vote, witt,
additions. The work goes bravely on al
we regret is. that the people are not daily
pos'e as to the progress of the canvass.
There was a rumor at Osceola when the
candidates were there, that the New Consti-
tuition had been defeated; and that it was so
decided by the canvassers. Iperplexed the
candidates sorely. They concluded, howev-
e,, to go ahead:-Icca Cstu ReyuA 17th.

New COnstitutiOn and the Public
Schools


After showing up the fact that Judge HALL
introduced that feature of the New Consti-
tuition upon which Mr.. Samuels is so fero-
cious, and that it was voted for by every
Democrat present in the Constitutional Con-
vention, the Davenport Gazette calls atten-
ton to the facts in regard to the whole mat
ter; as they were presented not long since
by Judge johnson - = s.-5tsra.s
"Now the fact is, the Board OF Education
and Legislature, regulate the details under
this article. Does any one suppose they will
attempt to thrust colored children into white
schools? The Constitution simply provides
for the education of all the youth in the
State. Tie Constitution of Indiana, framed
by a convention Overwhelmingly Democrats
ic, and which provided that no more negroes
shall settle in the State, has the following
clause in regard to education-'' and provide
by law for general and uniform system
OF common eclmols, wherein tuition shall be
without Charge and equally open to ALL"
The Wisconsin Convention, also framed by
a majority Of Dem ocrats, provides tor COM
mon schools, and declares that they shall be
tree and without charge Of tuition to all
children between the age of four and twenty
years." Wisconsin has since gone into the
hands Of the Republicans, yet no one has
ever heard of colored children being sent to
the same school with white children in that
State. Even old Democratic North Caroline
says in her constitution that the Legislature
shall provide for SHE convenient instructions
of youth," saying nothing as to color, be-
cause, rs a Democratic writer remarks, il
was understood there, as everywhere, that
white children were alone intended to be the
recipients of such favors. These facts show
the bare faced injustice or actual dishonesty
of the Democratic candidate for Governor.
We leave this with the people.
