In the first place it ssys, "the recent election h.
resulted in the ruin of tne American or Know Moth

ascendency Of the Constitutional or old line Demo

ranks Of the American party may be considered az
already amalgama:ed with those of the Black Re-
publican, and The latter is II this day 5On. 900 votes
stronger than on the day of the recent election.
Iu the second place Il Gays, 'r5s signal fact in the

read I'd y handy riilDg upon The wall, Is ;hst with
their present leaders and projects, they have nothing

tal third party, are warnings too significant no: TO be

enemies, and i, is universally perceived, that II tie
eni,rs opposite. had ualted upon him, the:e success
So, would have run up to astill more decided, and in

In the third place it gays, mo; often before in hu-

Instructions TO JuRY.-Speaking
Of courts reminds US of funny instruc-
ton said to have been given by a judge
to a jury in-well, we won't say what
state. 1t runs in this way:
"If the jury believe, from the evil
dence, that the plaintiff and defendant
were partners in the grocery. and that
the plaintiff bought out the defendant
and gave his note for the interest, and
the defendant paid for the note by deliv-
ering to the defendant COW, which he
warranted "not breachy," and the war
ranty was broken by reason of the
breachiness of the COW, and the plain
tiff drove the COW back and rendered her
to the defendant, but the defendant re-
fused to receive her, and the plaintiff
took her home again. and put heavy
yoke or poke upon her, to prevent her
from jumping the fence. and the COW in
attempting to jump the fence, by reason
of the poke OF yoke, broke her neck and
died. and if the jury further believe that
the defendants interest in the grocery
was not worth anything, that the plain
tif's note was worthless, and that the
COW was good for TO hing. either fol-
milk, or beef, or for Esgseen hide" then
the jury must find for themselves how
they will decide the case-for the court
don't know how such case should be
decided. n'hsls2 s#" 1&-." ,'@~q @3s .
