suOv. vVaIket's ProcIamatiOn.

we give IN to days paper, the two proelama-
.tionsof Gov. Walker, excluding illegal votes
that wore given at the lats election in Kansas
Gov. Walker by this act has done nothing more
,4bsa to carry olt chs prin,ipls Of the Kansas
.Tshraska se:-thAt the people of the Terri
tory themselves shall regulate their own-sfatrs
II votes wsrs given by non-residents ofthe Ter
qitory, they should be excluded. The only
question Of dispute amens Democrats from any
aec.isn about this act ofGov. Walkers is this:
IL it the duty ofthe Governor or of the 1eSisla-
ture to exclude illegal votes? About this ques-
question cool Democrats IN every section Of the
Union are divided.
No sooner were those Proclamations of Gov.
Walkers issued, than every black republican
soribbler in the land, from Horace Greedy down
to Dick Hatton, lying telegraph operators in
sIuded, started the story and gave it as far as it
was in their power, general circulation, that
President Bnchanan intended to remove or had
removed GOV. Walker and Secretary Stanton
for excluding Illegal votes in Kansas. To shcT
how much truth there is in this story, like all
of the rest Of their Kansas tales, it is only ne
eessary to publish the following dispatch from
President Buchanan to Hon. D. g. SicKles o.
New York. 1t needs no explanation
WAsHINGToN, Nov. 2, 1857.
To Hon D. E. SIcK'.Es: There is not
word OF truth in the removal OF Walker and

Democrats OF Ohio, let us rejoice that while
the black Republicans in Ohio had in 1854 S6,
600 majority; in 1855, $4,000 majority; in 1885

ced to 1900 majority, Q6oo, negro votes in
cluded, for this same Gov Chase, while the
Democracy have both branches of the Legisla

lect the following one:

ton, and the failure to do so is in violation o
the spirit and letter Of the act creating her Ter.
ritorial government, and ought to be returned

This is the sound Of the bugle from the righi
quarter--irom the old Tenth Legion. We like
to hear it, for its tonss are sound aud clear, and
assures US that though the Democracy OF vir.

Practical Joking in the Middle Ages.

The castle, or chastel d'Hesdin, was a tavorite
resort of Philip of Burgundy, and place o
rest to which he retired TO amuse himself at his
leisure. 1t contrasted strangely with the pleas

where the grounds were known to brlstle with
various deadly instruments 10 main trespassers
Hesden was full of pitfalls and trap doors as q
modern theatre but they only served to per-
petuate the coarse though harmless jokes in
which the Middle Ages consisted. They seem,
indeed to have only suited the robust and healthy
constitutions of the people of those days. A
few examples, taken from the records OF the
castle, may not be uninteresting a stranger
issuing, for instance, from gallery INTO neigh
boring passage, was startled by the sudden ap-
partition of wooden figure spouung water
wetting and fright were the necessary conse'
quences. But when the joke was carried iur-
ther.a set of brushes were put in motion,and the
patient emerged with whiteo or black face as the
case might be. Another still more powerful en-
CINE was one which seized man and thrashed
him soundlv. In the centre of the great gallery

in tho telling Of their fortunes than the ceiling
opened and poured forth rain, thunder claps
followed in quick succession, preceded by appro-
pirate lightning; and as the air grew colder,
snow fell. Taking refuge from the storm, the
patient entered dangerous shelter above a pit
fall leading into sack of feathers, from which
escape was at last permitted
The castle of Hesdn was full of tricks of this
descrintion. Besides the pitfall just described,
there was in the great gallery bridge which
dronned saunterers into the water. In various
nloces there were engines which spouted water
when they were touched. Six figures stood in
the hall spouting water, and wetting people in
