H Fred. Douglass complains bitter
" that the friends of the abolition sla-
very are falling away from the cause,
some for n reason and some for anoth-
er, and a good many because Its prin-
ciples required them to treat the colorcd
man as an equal brother in all the reia-
tons of life There's the rub; the Alb
olitionists never were true friends of tho
colorcd race.

Hg-Thc attempt upon the life of the
French Emperor is still a subject ofcon-
siderable discussion in the French jour
mails. 1t is said that one Of the priso-
ners has confessed that the conspirators
are five hundred in number, and are
bound by oath to assassinate the Eupc-
ror. Each year, or o~ftener, if circum-
stances will warrant the attempt, the
whole band are to draw lots from a box
i (which there will be five winning
numbers. The five members drawing
these arc held to put in immediate exc
cution an attempt. upon the EmPeror's
life, which shall be approved by the
whole society, and by those who are
charged with its execution. If this re-
port be true, the police will have plenty
to do to maintain their reputation
The. Emperor was so disgraced with
them on account Of their remissness In
not arresting the conspirators, that he
said they were the worst police in the
syerldla tits a singular fact, that the
assassin Orsiui and his intended victim,
Napoleon III, were in 1881 brother
members of a society called CarbOnari,
which held its meetings, at Forli, in the
Roman States, where the eldest 500 Of
the King Of Holland died. And subse,
a~ueutlv, in 184s, it seems that Louis
Napoleon. rs member of a republican
society in France, took an oath to ex'
terminate whoever should subyert the
liberties of the republicl

Henry R. PaYnc.

We notice that the Black Republican
Journals are making themselves jubi-
liant over the accession of the renegade
Payne, to the ranks of the disappointed
oficc-seekers. New light seems to have
all at once, broke in upon the brain Of
the would-be Governor of Ohio. That
he lately came home from Washington,
on an unsuccessful begging expedition,
may perhaps, throw some light upon this
very sudden turn of Mr.. Payne. All
we regret is that the Democratic party
OF the State ever supported a man of the
stripe he has shown himself to be. It
does kill some men to be defeated nee
or twice, and the subject of this notice
seems to be one of that un fortunate
class. He has now joined the mour n
full procession who have by treachcry
and duplicity sold their m anhood for
tn, momentary applause which greets
the Gcscrter when he enters the camp of
n former foe. 1t is strange that an in
1dluIIAOA 9O
should ever get poss ession of an othce-
seeker, as that treachcry will lead him
to elevation. The blow that sewers par
ty ties strikes down political character,
and the man who betrays the confidence
reposod in him because he fails to secure
to himselfsome promotion, must knowlit-
~ -ot,.1 20 h. o-noofS cnn-
idence from any quarter. Mr.. Payne
knew the policy of our party while he
was stumpping the State for the Govern
orship, and he knows it now to be the
maintenance of those great principles
in whose defence the Democracy of Ohio
went calamity unto the contest, and so
struggled that their defeat was hardly
less glorious than a victory. With the
Democracy of Ohio, he stood weilbefore
his unfortunate trip to the "Whitc
House" andhis more unfortunate course
of procedure since his return. After
the present temporary excitement Is
over, and the present dead issue, as
CcNdIu NlltulLlS tSAHo
question,,we will see whether this last
move of Mr.. Payne be to his advantage.
We are aware that he has many with
him, bat against such mcn there is a
fatal balance of power even in the
ranks they march with. That II. B.
Payne is now a broken down political
aspirant, is a foregono conclusion
Once a leader of the party whose his
tory is glorious all through the past, he
became first q kind of camp follower,
and beggar, cringing for the pittance of
an Office from the Executive, and be-
cause he could not get that, he goes
within his W camp scattering frebrands
and vainly hoping to shine in Il C illu-
mination. These are our sentiments
in regard to the course of Mr.. Payne,
whom weshall notice from time to time as
occasion may seem to require.

MURRAY & LANMAN's FLORIDA Wa
TER.-Pcrfumes are the poetry Of the
toilet, and persons of elegant tastes and
refined perceptions, are always more or
less fastidious in the choice of these ar
ticlcs. The ladies of Spanish America,
who are critical in such matters, have for
a number of years given the preference
to this oGoriferous Toilet Water. Tn
til lately it has been manufactured al
most soely for South and Central AMER
lea consumption, but its superiority over
the oppressive perfumes OF Europe hav-
ing been discovered in this country, a
demand has been created for it which
the proprietors are now using their ut
most exertions to supply. Besides its
merits as "A delicious fumigant, it is,
when blended with water. an excellent
preparation for the skin and an admira-
BILE dental wash.

Down Oh Him.

A late number of the Philadelphia
Bulletin contained a leader of over q
column, denouncing Gov. Walker as a
traitor to Observation-Disclosures. The
pretext for this onslaught upon the
chief witness of Douglas, Forney and
Co., is that Walker deems it more to his
interest to attend to his own private
business than to perambulate the Coun-
try ''shrieking' for bleeding" Kansas.
We clip two paragraphs from the arti-
lie, to show what some of Walkers
friends think of him:
"When the New York meeting was
held he was absent. On the day APP
pointed for the meeting in the New
York Academy of Music, which did not
take place, he suddenly appeared in Phil
adelphia, and when the meeting at last
took place at the Chinese Hall, he turn
ed up in Washington City. He did
not even send to the meeting a letter
to explain his absence. He has been
lodging auti-Lecomptonism in every
possible way, and is now regarded as
quite put of the renrh Of lis late asso-
ciates an that question who have been
relying on him as a leader, and quoting
him as an authority. The Washington
&C respondent of the Baltimore SIN,
who is known to be in the secrets of the
Administration, states in a recent let
ter that Cow. Maker will not for
the future M1fs more letters OF
make any speeches on the subject OF
Kansas. The abandonment of his late
position seems to be complete. His
late associates regard him as having
completely betrayed them"
Greatly, the cause ofright loses little
by the detection of such a mar as Wal
kcr. Nothing but his official character
as Governor of Kansas, acting under
the instructions of the President, NC
gave any weight to his position. 1t is
unfortunate that 50 much reliance was
placed upon him on that account; but il
is fortunate that his treacherv has been
discovered so early Us it has been. The
great mistake that has beeg made has
been in treating him as the Ajax of the
anti-Lccomptonites. Another grave
mistake, resulting from this, was the
production of the pretended letter Of
Walker to the Philadelphia meeting
There can be no justification of such 4
deception, well designed as it may have
lcen. 1t would have been better if tho
t~rcachery had been exposed at once:
and the traitor had been Immediately
dismissed from the ranks of the friends
of freedom and the advocates ofthe poo
pie

me from my ncr friends!!"

Name Him !

A Washington correspondent of the
NississPpian gives the daughter of Cab
met minister the credit of defeating the
Administration Kansas Committee, in
the House, the other day. 1t happened
in this wise:
1t is whispered in social circles here
that the defeat of the Committee of Thir-
teen on the Kansas Bill, which the Ad-
ministration lost by one vote, is attribu-
table to a lady, daughter of one of our
Cabinet ministers. One Of her victims,
Il prominent but doubtful member from
the North, who is signing himself into
premature wrinkles and ugliness, con
ceiving, on the evening before the vote
Was taken, that Miss - evinced a
preference for a rival member, resolved
that he would have his revenge by vo-
ting against the Administration. The
result was, the bill WAS lost! a word
in your ear: That members fate is
sealed, for We saw Miss - an hour
ago, and had she swallowed all the pick
les of her fathers last state dinner her
feelings could not have been more acid
ulatcd a. ainst hi j for his r%ecreancy.
Bsa- George Bancroft, who stands at
the head of American authors, and who
will be known to posterity through his
admirable American history, says. that
Buchanan's Lecompton Message is the
most infamous document ever sent be-
fore Congress. Mr.. Bancroft is an un-
prcjudiced and calm observer ofcurrcnt
events, and never judges hastily.-Ec-
change.
And thi, opinion is put forward as evil
dence that he is San unprejudiced and
calm observer of current events and
never judges hastily" Pshaw! We
might as we'll say thlt a man who flies
in a passion, and throws a stone at his
neighbors house, SIS a mild and even
tempered gentleman, The fact is that
Bancroft is we'll enough as a historian;
but politically he is about as much of a
fossil as Martin Van Buren,. His opinion
in regard to any matter, connected with
the political affairs of 1858, is just as
good as that Of any other man who has
been all his life buried in books, and
whose brain is as full of cob webs rs his
book shelves, and no better We sup
pose next we snail have Jared Sparks
and Peter Farley on the carpet!

A Law Point Decided.

The Supreme Court OF New York lras
just passed upon an interesting law point
with regard to streets, cross-walks, &c.
The Court decides that Sat regular cross
ings the road belongs to the man on
foot, and the carriage must go at such
Il pace as will not endanger him. At
places where there is no paved crossing
the carriages have the right of way, not
the foot Passsagers." And in all cas-
es the one is bound not to check vc-
hickles unnecessarily; and the other to
proceed with duescaution against cndan-
gcring pedestrians. In a recent Eng
lish decision, on which the above was
probably founded. the Judge remarked
that when passing along the street, the
side pavomcats were for foot passcn-
gers, aud the center of the road was
for carriages, and those persons who
wished to cross were bound to watch
their opportunity to use due care
and caution; bat at the end or cor
ner Of street, if foot passenger wished
to cross, it should be known that the
centre Of the street belonged as much to
the foot passengers as to the carriage,
and he had as much right to tell the
driver of a carriage to wait for him, as
the driver had to make him wait.

WEIGHT OF THE CABINEr.-A cor
respondent of the Boston Journal says
The present cabinet is composed of men
of weight as l noticed to-day on a
register of the weight of visitors kept
atthe Smithsonian Institution. Howell
Cobb is set down at 21!! pounds; Gov.
Brown III; Secretary Touccy at 166;
Secretary Thompson at III, and Gov.
Floyd at12o. Ishould judge that Gen.
Cass will weigh nearly 200 pounds, al
though he is not as leshy as he was i
few years since. He is very active 70,
a man of his age, and walks to the De
partment of State almost every morn
ing without an o%vercoat and with an
elastic step.
