Will the people endorse the action of

smelling about wherever five cent piece
had been lost through the agency of Demo
Gratis, but who "smelt never smell "when
$150,O0O was flched from the treasury ?
suppose that Gibson swore falsely three
times: suppose Auditor Wright did delib-
erately place falsehood in his annual
report when he says he ascertained by
personal examination and count of the
funds in the Treasurer's vaults "that the
money was all there after Gibson came
into office; suppose the Senate investigat-
ing committee reported falsely that "with

Suppose all this and then you may sup

The American Horses Beaten.

The last steamer brings the intelligence
that the American horses Pryor and Pry-
Dress were beaten in England in the races
for the Goodwood cup. A French horse,
Monarque, won the race. There were
seventeen horses entered; Pryor came out
fifth and Pryoress sixth. The American
horses ran at great disadvantage. They
had much more weight to carry than on
our courses; and, besides, the rules there
being different, the distance different, and
of course the manner of training different
Sorry they were beaten.

What the Opposition say of Our State
Ticket.

The Cincinnati Times says:
We must regard the Democratic State
ticket as strong one. With one or two
exceptions, the candidates are new mem,
fresh from the people, and do not only
possess, to full degree the qualities es-
sential to the Offices for which they are
selected, but will prove efficient on the
stump. The Convention seemed to ap-
preciate the necessity of bringing out fresh
candidates on this occasion, and through
all the struggle of faction this was accom-
plished.
The Democrats of Ohio are hopeful of
success in October, and not without cause.
The Republican party, in all departments
of State, has failed to satisfy the people.
The General Assembly was one idea
body, that took far more interest in the
political movements of Kansas than in the
government of our own Commonwealth.
1t did but little good ana a great deal of
harm, and its sins of omission and commits
sion are piled up mountain high; and can
+ be ased with great advantage by their
ladversaries.
The same may be said of the Execu-
tiye.-Gov. Chase, while ready at a mo-
ments warning to aid conflict between
the State and federal authorities, has .suf-
fered, from sheer negligence, the treasury
of the State to be plundered of large sum
of money Had he exercised the surveil-
ance that is his duty, the huge leak in the
treasury would have been stopped long
ago.-He has, to be sure, made several
very handsome after-dinner speeches but
thai seems to be the only department in
which he has given satisfaction. These
facts-the total failure of the Republican
I General Assembly as a reform legislature,
the startling developements in the treas
Jury department and the very silly attempt
of the Republican press to shield Gibson
J behind Breslin--haye had great tendency
to dispirit the Republican organization
and render them powerless in the approach.

One new thing is developed by these
late elections which is, that Know Moth

and that in the South at least the Dem

Call our intelligence from the Southern

We record the decision of the Judges of the
Supreme Court in this case, with tho highest salts

qualified approval. Tho highest judicial tribunal
in the land has decided that the blackamoors
called, by the extreme Of public courtesy, the col
ored population, are not citizens of the United
States. This decision must be followed by other
decisions and regulations in the individual States
themselves. Negro suffrage must, Of course, be
abolished everywhere.
Negro nuisances, in the shape of occupying pro.
miScuous places in our ~railcars and churches with
those who are citizens must DO abated. Negro
insolcnce and dDminoering arrogance must be re-
buked the whole tribe must be taught to fall
back into their Legitimate. position in human So
cicty-the position that Divine Providence intend
ed they should occupy. Not being citizens, they
can claim none of the rights or privileges belong
ing to a citizen they can never vote, hold Office,
or occupy any other position in society than an in
Gerior-and subordinate one the only one for which
they have the natural qualifications which entitle
them to enjoy or posscss.-S)uh Side (Va)

In the meantime, Shareholders and their favor

The "South'---an ultra illiberal pro-slavory
journal published in Richmond, Va. suggests in
an article which appeared "A few days since, some
amendments to the Constitution Of tho United
States, with a view to the perpetuation of slavery.

or Will be lost in II few years, and expresses a fear
that the time is approaching when the Free States
will DC invested with power to amend the Consti
tuition as they WILL" should no effort now be made
to deprive them Of that privilege. "a glance al
the map of the United States" satisfies the South
tn 1t the Republican party will ultimately triumph
in this country. To prevent thom Withdrawing
