WugnE WAS PARTRIDGE THAT he wasn't on

with his likeness machine, just merely to take
a picture, which would have been the greatest
hit of the season. The time had arrived when
i, was morally certain that the Presidents Mes
SAGE must have been sent in to the two houses
of Congress: and at which it was to be deliver
ed to the city papers. Impressed with this be-
lief, there was huddled at the p. o., almost the
entire Press gang of the city, awaiting like the
seer of the Apocalypse the breaking of the seals
Editors, Jours, prentices and devils were con-
gregatcd and congregating from the Latettigenrer,
argus, Courier, !Staats Zeitung and Times offices,
all boiling over with an excitement "fierce to

To RE THE CoRxER SroNE.-There is IN New
York city most intense niggeritish paper call
ed the Day Book, which out erods even He
rod in its attempts to gain position in the pat
ronage of the South. The paper was got up
ON Il well calculated speculation-as likely, by
the oddly Of its doctrine for any latitude-and
especially Tor the latitude of New York, to at
tract good deal of fire eating support. The
elaborated Calhounism of the Charleston Her
cary, the Huntelism Of the Richmond South,
and the jeff Davisism Of the New Orleans Dolt9,
don't, by a large margin, fill the measures of its
demands upon and prescriptions for the Demo
cratic party. Here is the very least it will put
up with, as to the settlement of the Niger
question:
NEGRO subordination, so-called slavery,
is the basis, the foundation, the cornerstone
of our republican editice,' and the time has
come when this must be openly avOwed and
boldly proclaimed as the distinctive badge OF
Democracy.
That certainly is slight advance in the creed.
Our implacable Organ next door, should wake
up and look to its laurels. If it don't stir its
stumps it will be left behind in the grert pro-
gressivc niggcrite tramp of the a~e. What says
it of this new dogma, the Dty Book1

WESTERN BuTTRR.-The Prairie Farmer
speaks of the production of butter at the West,
as business destined to become great and -four
ishing Probably few eastern folks have
thought of this. We get breadstufFS, pork,
ham, &c, from the West as the main source of
supply, while the butter we use is entirely east
eril. In view of the immense prairies of the
West it is singular that butter has not become
a staple there. If attention is now directed to
the subject by the newspapers and agricultural
periodicals and authorities Of the West, we may
probably expect cheap butter from that quarter
before many years. The Farmer and Chicago
Pres both admit,tha at present the prairie but
ter must be considered an inferior article; but
they attribute the deficiency in quality TO tie
lack Of care in the business.

Orr CONGRESSMAN FAMOUS ALREADY.-We
felt moral conviction, and rather SO insinuated
Mt the time that Sherrard left, that he had gone
down to Washington in the full determination
to .do or die" That we would hear of him
on or before soon. Aud sure enough we do
Just exlctly the first thing,-nOt in the first
monitor even the first wcek-butrigh among
the first batch of news from the Both Congress,
comes the announcement that Sherrard, by a ten
strike, is at once the lion of the season. Lets
see how. Somcbody-John Jones, for instance,
for and on the behalf of Mr.. neutrality-suspicious.
cs Sherrard with request in one hand and the
dust" in the discriminating that Sherrurd
would find that n vote for Wendell, for public
printer, would be tho side upon which his dread
was buttered" But Shcrrard doesn't take with
the idca-nurses the proposition in his recollcc-
tion-takes Faulkner aside, aud tells hiin-0nd
in the caucus makes clean breast of the whole
process as to how this agent had been tampering
with his chastity.
We are sorry that Mr.. Wendell-Or his agent
or whoever he was, should have dared to even
such thing to the representative of the
10th district. We say, we are sorry-be-
cause it don't look exactly like what Caesar re-
quircd his wife to bc-"Not only above crime,
but aSoue suspicion" We are glad, however,
that Sherrard, although tCmpcring Justice with
mercy, 50 far as not to mention the agents name,
'for the sake" as We read, of the mans family
did, when his opportunity came, blow upon
the corruptionist, thereby doing something for
himsefand vindicating the honor of the 10th
district.
This act is only the initiative of series of
brilliant eoups on the part of our representa-
tive, who is determined to be something more
than the machine voters which Western yirgi-
MIA men have been in Congress for long time
