Tur MAlls.-our columns this morning arc
very barren Of news; but our readers will not
expect much, for they are aware, that thercccnt
heavy snow storms have so completely blocked
up all thorOughfares of travel, as to render it
utterly impossible for the mails to get through.
We do not expect this state of things to con-

gence of our readers for few days. No mails
were received in this city, on Saturday, from
the East or West.

LHERrooL, Jan. z, M.-The news from Paui
received to-day, is almost wholly confined to
further details Of the assassination Of the Arch
bishop. The accounts differ, but little from
those previously published. The GGzette Des
TfiJunait states the assassin allowed himself to
he arrested without resistance, aud voluntarily
gave up his bloody knife. 1t also states that he
had once been iutcrdcted for preaching a SER
mon against the dogma of immaculate COncep-
ton In the excitement caused in Paris by this
dreadful event, there is but little said or tAou
about the affairs of diplomacy. We have no
news as to the conference beyond the statement
that no additional meeting had been held; and
the Pays attributes the delay entirely to time
required for drawing up protocols Of the first
meeting, and refers to what passed during the
last conference as proof of u probability of
this explanation -WcrtcInberg remains firm in
refusing passage to the Prussian invader, and
while she remains firm, an invasion of tie Swiss
donations will be difficult aud dangerous, if not
impossible. According to PruSsian dispatch
of 2Sth December, the position of that state APP
pears to be this: "lhat she will not mobilize
her troops until the 18th of january, and up to
that day she will be content with the simple re-
lease of prisoners; and for the rest is ready to
enter into negotiations to give up her sovereign
rights over Seufchatcl Should decree of mo-
biIizatiOn become necessary Prussia will then
insist on restoration pure simple Of the Kings
sovereignty in Ncufchatcl, and at the same time
independence of SwitZcrland-althOugh hint
is thrown out untayOrable to the protection
which Switzerland is--according to refugees"

AN APOLOGY.

A late number of the Messenger ex-
pressed with all the emphasis tho typo
graphic art can compass, its horror at our
assertion, that offs equal number of f"dark-
les" and "Celts" picked up at random in the
street. the darkies would out do the
Cots in an examination before school
board. We did not imagine this declara-
ton would so harrow up the feelings of our
honored cotemporary; and as we are of a
tender and merciful spirit, We were much
distressed at tho agonies Of the Messenger.
We beg pardon for the unlucky observation.
We said it; it is true; and We are sorry for
it. We hope this humble apology will
soothe the Messengers wounded sensibili-
ties; and in this hope We would like to ask
few questions by way of explanation
We do not understand why our remark gave
the Messenger so much pain. Is not ne
gro human being as well as an Irishman9
or even as the honored editor of the Mes
sengere Does not a negro eat, drink, sleep
talk, laugh and cry as well as he1 Cannot
a negro even drink strong beer or other
"medicinal fluids" as well as he? What
can the editor of the Messenger do that a
negro cannot do9--exccpt vote. Cannot a
negro writo better English and better sense
than the aforesaid editor! If we are put to
the proof and do not find one who can do
this, then tho Messenger may take our hat.
Now if a negro is human being why may
he not know moro than an Irishman, or ev-
en- more than the editor of the Messenger p
if such thing can be possible.

Books at the CompAny's Office 10 this city,
and at the otAce Of the Ohio Life and Trust
Company IN New York.
We have stated above the earnings Of the
Road for the six months ending the first Of
May. Wo now further state that the Com
pany has in its hands ample cash resources
from its earnings TO pay the somi-annual
interest on their funded and floating debt
and to make dividend among the Stock
holders if the Directors see fit TO make it.
Hitherto the business of the G. d T.
Road has been produced chiefly from but one
line of Road, the Lake Shore from the East,
and the Michigan Southern from the West,
in addition to that received from its connec-
ton with the Cleveland and Pittsburgh
Road. If the stockholders will look upon a
late r. R. map of the Western States, they
will discover some cheering signs for the flu
ture of the G. & T. Road. Leading out
from Cleveland to the southeast by the
Cleveland and Mahoning, the North Wost-
ern, and the Pennsylvania Central, they will
see line of Roads, making the distance to
Now York seventy miles shorter than by
any other route. Again, from Toledo to
the South West by the toledo, Wabash
and Great Western r. R." stretches away
1926 miles in a direct line to the Mississippi
River. These two lines of roads slightly
diverging from either end of the @. d T.
Road, arc hereafter to be great feeders Of it.
The advantages from the connection with
this Road at Toledo, of the "Detroit and
Toledo" and the dayton and Michigan
Roads," must be apparent Again, the con-
nection Of the sc. and Pittsburgh" and the
Baltimore and Ohio Roads by Wellsville
and Wheeling, must be productive of a
steady increasing business for the @. and T.
Roads.
We do not concur in the opinion that
the two lines of the G. &. T. Roads are
hereafter to effect unfavorably the value Of
the stock. The rapidly increasing business
will very soon overreach the capacity of a
single track; and the increased local bust
ness OF the two lines, will more than meet
the difference of expenses over double
track single Road.
Having said thus much, we believe we
have given Eastern stockholders the means
of making their own estimates, regardless
of the misrepresentation of that class whose
business, as well as pleasure, it is to pull
down and destroy. This is not the first
time VIC have found it necessary to defend
the management Of our Railroads from the
interested attacks of Wall street harpies.
In conclusion, we think it is no dispar-
agemout to the managers of other roads,
when we say that, in our opinion, no road
in the country is better, CT more honorably
managed, than has been the Cleveland g.
Toledo for the last twelve months.

united state. Dl..rIe. ATTORNEY.

We notice that the President has ap-
pointed Judge r. P. RaDney to the Office
Of Attorney for the Northern District of
Ohio. That is an appointment emphati-
caIly fit to DO made. Judge Ranney, as a
lawyer dcseryedly stands in the very front
rank of the Ohio bar, and has the confidence
and respect Of the profession in an emin-
ent degree. That appointment could not
have been bettered. Although, could we
have had the appointment we might have
chosen another man, yet it is questionable
in so doing, whether we should nave gone
out of tho law office which now has it.
Mr.. Morton was not an applicant for re-
appointment. He has discharged his duty
with courtesy of manner. and generosity
in practice, which his professional brethren
appreciate and will remember. We sup
pose Mr.. NJ. continues in his profession in
which he has been so successful, and We
hope he will remain in this city, Clevslanf
Herald. '.-... a..

freedom Fires Lleht .ho horizon.

All around us the Anti-Slayery cause is
gaining ground, and the battle is carried on
even into the Slave State Of Missouri, where,
at the charter election in that great city Of
st. Louis, that party, which raised tho bold
banner Of emancipation, has swept every
thing before them. In ST. Louis there were
three tickets, TO wit: The Emancipation
ticket; the American ticket, and the Pro-
Slavery ticket backed up by the Admins
tration. Tho Emancipation party para
ded tho city by torch light the night
before election, with banners proclaiming-
"Whitc men for our city, and our city for
white men,"-"White men to build rail-
roads, and railroads for them to build,"-
"Gradual emancipation for the good of our
State and city," &c, DC. The parade was
more than a mile in length, and contained
over six thousand people.
The Americans in st. Louis dare not op-
pose emancipation, but they sing that syren
song, 'let slavery alone, it will kill ITSELF"
Tho burden of their argument is, the abso-
lutte certainty of ultimate Freedom to Mis-
souri on account of her climate, her soil, her
position, and they beg that the question Of
emancipation be not raised to disturb the
peace of society. This party lacked both
honesty and courage, and on election day
received crushing defeat for its pusillani-
nifty st. Louis has declared for the free
navigation of the rivers which center their
business at her levee, and she has declared
in favor Of free emigration through her
streets to Kansas. All the victories every
where else, won over this slavery-nursing
Administration, at the local spring elections
are insignificant, as compared with the blow
st. Louis has dealt to the Slavery Propa-
gandists.

Cincinnati Election.

Next to the election in st. Louis, that in
Cincinnati will be the sorest spot for the
modern democracy. The old Democratic
used to count on four or five thousand ma
jority in this enterprising city. Now their
power is sliding from beneath them
Thomas the opposition candidate, is elected
Mayor by majority of 24o and Judge Stor-
er succeeds by a majority of S92. Several
other opposition men were also chosen, and
the Enquirer, the old pro-slavery organ of
despotism, mourns over the result like q
dove which had lost its mate.

THE pRoGnEss OF DEMoCRACx.

IL is tne Iatal necessity OF an evil cause
and its advocates that they can find no stop
ping place short of final perdition. Never
was this truth better illustrated than in the
course of modern black democracy. No
longer ago than in 1852 the non-cxtcnsion
of slavery was solemnly declared, in N. Y.
and nearly all of the free states, to be the
doctrine of the democratic party. This was
asserted and re-asscrted by democratic state
conventions and other high democratic au-
thories. This had been the doctrine of
Washington, Jefferson, Madison and their
compatriots. Mark the steps by which de-
mocracy has departed from this doctrine,
and reached its present depth of pollution.
l. Granny Cass, with the presidency in
prospect conceived and brought forth the
doctrine of squatter sovereignty, viz: that
the people of a territory have the sole right
to admit or exclude slavery. This was in
fiat contradiction both to the doctrine and
practice of Jefferson and the fathers of the
Republic, who held that congress could ex-
clude slavery from any territory, and who
put the power in practice when they passed
tho Ordinance of's7, which forever exclud-
ed slavery from what are now the free states
of the northwest.
2. Douglas, surnamed Judas Iscariot, (for
which an apology is due to Judas,) discov-
cred that the doctrine of squattcr sovereign
ty was' too big boo for so young colt;' that
the people of territory could not exclude
slavery till they were numerous enough to
form a state constitution. This discovery
was made to give time for slavery to got a
foothold, and was further advance in the
road to ruin.
8. The same notable character discover
ed that the Missouri Compromise was un-
constitutional and void. The democratic
party was brought to adopt this doctrine,
and this was long stride toward perdition.
4. Next democracy, like other bodies in
a state Of decomposition, hatched the vile
and ill-smelling notion that slavery and free
dom must advance with equal step,--that
slavery and freedom have equal rights un-
der the constitution, and that an additional
free state must be followed by an additional
slave state.
5. The supreme court decided that the
constitution recognizes and protects proper
ty in slaves,-that congress cannot shut
slavery out Of the territories,-that the free
states cannot shut out the slave or the slave.
holder,-that negro "has no right white
man is bound to respect"
Such has been the progress of democracy
Its sole business to-day is to buttress thai
system of slavery in these United State:
which presents to the world three millions
of blacks deprived of all the rights of men
1t seconds all the claims of the south for the
extension of this system. The freedom-loy
ing people of the north claim no right to in
terfere between the master and his slave
but they refuse TO be made parties to th'
extension of this evil. For this democrac,
bawls itself hoarse crying disunion disunion

TNrOnTATrON WANTED.

II there is a paper in tho United States
that is true exponent Of modern democra-
cy, that paper is the Messenger. Its de-
mocracy has been endorsed by the National
Democratic Convention u by the Supreme
Courtlll by the Democratic County Con-
vontionil and finally by the Democrats Of
Fremont After this its uttrances must
have the weight of oroclcs. With this view
we approach this source of true democracy
and ask for such instruction as may illumn-
ate our darkness. We have considered at
tentively the late decision of the Supreme
Court, which declares that a negro cannot
be citizen of the United States, and find
the reason of this decision summed up in
these words: that ut tho time of the adop-
ton of the Constitution the colored race, in
America and throughout the world, "werc
not supposed to possess any rights that
white men were even bound to respect" >
Now in view of this decision and the reason,
and with an oppressive sense of our own
darkness aud of the illuminating power of
the Messenger, we take the liberty in the
politcst manner possible to ask the follow
ing questions.
l. Is it doctrine Of true, and pure, and
unterrifed democracy that might makes
rights Perhaps in our blindness We arc
mistaken, but this seems to us the only con-
clusion to be drawn from tho above new
termed decision and reason. Why has a
negro "no rights that white man is bound
to respects" To us the only answer is-be-
cause he has not the power to assert and de-
fend his rights, while the white man has
power to invade and destroy them.
2. If might makes right, would it be dem
ocratc for the negroes in some of the south
crn states, say South Carolina, where they
outnumber the whites, TO take possession of
the government and decide that a white
man cannot be a citizen of that state, "be
cause he has no rights which negro is
bound to respectp We pause for reply.
