wThe voice of the South is not una1


EE The voice of the South is not unan-
imously for fraud, as must be assumed
by those who hold that that section of our
country is solid in favor of Lecompton.-
In spite of the terroism of the grog-shop
bullies, there are in many places of the
Southern States heard manly utterances of
indignant remonstrance against the policy
of the Administration towards Kansas
Gov. Wise is not alone in his denunciation
of the extremity of villainy toward the peo-
pile of Kansas, in the shape of "Lecomp-
ton." 1t is true that but few Southern
Congressmen dare to stem the surface cur
rent of excitement in favor of the admission
of Kansas as nominal Slave State; but
there are evidences ofa powerful under cur
rent in the South, running against the rob-
berry of the civil rights of the people of
Kansas by the forgery Of election returns
and the tricks of political thimble riggers.
The Memphis Eagle and Enquirer Of Feb.
18th, has leading article on the "Le-
compton Fraud" which doubtless expresses
the sentiments of the better class of South
erners, concerning the infamy that in the
name of the South is advocated by the
Administration. We quote from it as fol-
lows:
"Having forever precluded the possibility
of making Kansas Slave State, the Pres
ident's message accompanying the Lecomp-
ton Constitution, narrows the issue to q
question of fraud. Those who sustain him
uphold might against right, Federal power
against popular sovereignty, corrupt po-
litical party against the immutable princi-
Piles of justice. Our Washington cores
pondent says that Southern pot-house
members talk valorously about dlssolu-
ton of the Union if the Lecompton Con-
stitution is rejected by Congress. Now
these locomotive distilleries may fime and
saOeat over brandy smashes, but for over
act Of treason against the Union of States
their own constituents aooutd hang them
wiM hickory bark.
Mr.. Stanton, Southern man, reliable
too, tells us that four-fifths of the bona fide
residents of Kansas are opposed to the Le-
compton Constitutions these precious
scoundrels would dissolve the Union if the
people Of that Territory don't choose to
submit to Executive dictation-tske con-
stitution that they lcathe and abhor.

w The impudence of Southern brawl-
ers in Congress, in asserting that if it had
not been for the troops in Kansas, the free
soilers would have been driven out of the
Territory, is refreshing. The fact is plain
that the troops were used solely to overawe
that portion of the people of Kansas op-
posed to slavery, and that if it had not
been for the U. S. bayonets, the pro-sla-
very rufians would have been made few
and far between.

Ey There is no doubt but the game
that the Administration party in both houses
intend to play, is to hitch the Kansas and
Minnesota bills together, and attempt to
bring both those Territories into the Union
together. For this, all the power of the
government will be exerted, and the timid
members of the North who cannot be
bought are to be frightened by hideous
outcry about the dissolution of the Union.

The PLAN FOR DIsUNIoN.-The Wash
ington correspondent Of the N. Y. Tribune
says:
Clay (the Alabama Senator) says he
only expects TO make one more speech in
the Senate, as disunion is at hand. The
plan is, on the rejection Of Kansas, for the
delegations of South Carolina, Alabama,
Georgia, and Mississippi, to vacate their
seats and 60 home. 1t is supposed that
those States will at once call conventions
for q dissolution of the Union, and it is
hoped that Texas, Louisiana, and North
Carolina will follow suit; Strange 10 say,
South Carolina is the most conservative of
all these. Their former trisl at Nullifica
tion makes them cautious.

not matter whether there were or were not

WASHINGTON, Feb. II.

WASdlN6TOS, pcu. 1Ts
The programme has been made out for
the passage through the Senate at an early
day of the Lecompton Constitution, and an
accompanying bill for the admission Of
Kansas into the Uuion as State under it..
This week the Committee on Territories of
that body, to which the special message of
the Presiden. on the subject was referred,
will make report embodying the recon-
mendations of that message. Judge Dou-
glas is preparing minority report. This
document from Judge Douglas promises to
be one that will cover the entire ground,
embracing succint but accurate history Of
the admissions of new States, the facts and
circumstances surrounding these admissions
the principles involved, and the principles
that prevailed and have grown into precs-
dents by repeated recognition, beside an ex-
pose of the Kansas question as it has pro-
gressed through its various stages.
The N. Y. Courier's letter says:
WASHINGTON, Feb. II.
The proposition of Mr.. Hoard to raise
q committee of Inquiry on the manifest
bribery and corruption of members of tho
House of Representatives by the executive,
was voted down by strict party VOTE
There is no doubt st all of the fact, because
the Presidents own organs have declared
it, and have advertised bids for votes. As
to the particular case cited, that of Mr..
Burns, of Ohio, why should anybody have
voted against an investigation, when it was
openly alleged, and not a member of the
House is ignorant of the rumor, that Mr..
Burns himself told his colleague, Mr.. Nor
ris, that be controlled the two best appoint
ments in Ohio, besides the very lucrative
one which his son holds in Iowa. Mr.. Sher-
man, also, asked Mr.. Burns whether he
wished an investigation, and Mr.. Burma
made no reply. His very manner was alb
surd, and proof of his own guilt, and that
of the President and Cabinet, or of some
agent of theirs.
The N. Y. Tri6une's letter says:
WAsH1sHror, Feb. ls.
The Kansas Committee, so shamefully
packed by Speaker Orr, met last night
The majority, led by Stephens, showed
their true colors at the outset. They de-
sire no investigation and do net mean to
have any. The Anti-Lecompton members
asked for inquiry into the vote of January
4, on the Constitution and State Officers;
for inquiry into the irregular returns, fraud
ulent votes, &c. The proposition to in
quire into these matters were all voted
down. The majority would hear Of no in
vestigation except into the mere proceed
ings of the Lecompton Convention. They
intimated that the investigation must be
finished this week.

Lecompton Constitution. He would not
enquire whether it met the sanction of the
people, the time was when he would have
felt justified in voting for the admission of
a slave State south Of SO 80, that was be-
fore the repeal of the Missouri Compro-
mise. That repeal had removed all ma
tional obligations, leaving him to vote as
conscience dictated.
Mr.. Clemens argued the legality of the
Lecompton Constitution contending that
it was unnecessary to submit i: to the ap-
proval of the people. The President had
performed his duty fearlessly and manfully.
Mr.. Burroughs got the floor, and the House
adjourned.
DEMOCRATIC LECoMPToN REPORT.
The report made to-day by Mr.. Green,
from the Senate Committee on Territories,
recites at length the events that have oc-
cured in Kansas, and asserts that MAORI
ty of her people may simply, as in ancient
days assemble in mass meeting and make
constitution, or they may elect representa-
tives to make one for them, or to draft one
to be submitted to them for their approval
or rejection. The last method has been
most approved during the last few years,
though formerly the second method was
generally resorted to. In calling a conven-
ton for this case, it was conceded to have
been strictly legal, as was the election of
delegates. Was it not, too, logical to in
fer that the convention so legally called
clothed with authority to make constitu-
tion can no more be interfered with by the
Governor, Judge or Legislature, either to
increase or diminish its power, or TO alter
or uullify itsacts, they assemble en- naasse,
instead Of by their representatives. In
conclusion, the Committee say that the ab-
olitionists have thus far sought power by
unknown TO law, aud by acts Of

Rachel, the Great Actress.

DRATH OF MADEMofsELLE RACHEL
Many of our readers who, till within the
past two or three years, have been accus-
toned to regard the performance of Sc
ries of characters by Madamoisele Rachel
as one of Tire regular events Of the London
season, win be shocked to learn that on
Sunday last she departed this life at her
estate in Cannes. That her illness would
have other than fatal result few indeed
ventured to hope, but nevertheless, death,
whenever it comes, is sudden in its aspec.
especially when it brings with it change
of tastes and habits.
Madamoiselle Rachel was of humble ORR
gin. Her father was a hawker, Of the
Hebrew persuasion, and she was born on
the 9th of March, 1890, at the Swiss vii
lage of Munf, while her parents were en-
gagged on professional tour. The family
afterwards settled for some lime at Lyons,
where the eldest child, Sarah, pursued the
vocation of vocalist at the various cafes,
while Rachel, the future actress, collected
money from admiring connoisseurs. In
1889, Paris became the residence of the
Felix family, and little Rachel, rising from
the merely financial department., Joined
with her sister as singer at the cafes on
Boulevards. While thus employed. it
seems that she attracted the attention of
NJ. Choron. founder of the Royal Institu-
ton for the study of sacred music, who at
once took charge of her fortunes. Howev-
er, he soon discovered that she was more
suited for the dramatic than the musicl pro-
fession, and he accordingly placed her un-
der the tuition of ST. Aulaire In 1886
she was admitted as pupil at the Con-
seryatoire.
Her first appearance in public as an act
rees was in April, 1887. at the Gymnase,
wh.n she played the farce called LA Ven
deenne," without making any particular
sensation. 1t is from her performance of
Camille, at the theater Franchise, on the
oath of June, 1885. that her European
reputation is to be dated, and 10 the end
this character has remained the most cele-
brated in her repertory.
After her last engagement in this coun-
try, which took placs in the year 1855,
she paid that visit TO the United States
which brings the record of her profession
al life TO a close. Reports of declining
health or of convalescence formed the sta

selle Rachel since Ter return from the 9th

Who two years ago, lay upon what his physicians
and all his friends believed to be his death bed is
now alive and in the full vigor of health His dis
ease was Consumption, of which nearly all his rela-
tives had died. The circumstances which led to
his recovery were as follows: His Younger brother
was in the habit of reading to him from books
about the house to while away his weary hours
One day he read to him from an old book published
in London about the middle of the seventeenth
century, of what was styled ga sympel and certain
remmeedee for diseases of We Lungs Not wholly
without hope, and unwilling to leave anything Tn
tried which gave promise of relief, the sick and
dying man had the prescribed remedies prepared
and commemorate use. The result was favorable
In two months he was able to walk about the prem
Uses without difficulty, and in seven months from
the time that he commenced its use he was en-
tirely well, and has not been confined day since.
Grateful towards an all-wise providence for his
restoration, he prescribed it for all in his vicinity
who were afflicted with diseases of the lungs and
general debility, and in every case it has proved
effective.
Thoroughly satisfied that it is the only safe and
certain cure for Consumption, and wishing to do
his fellow beings who are suffering, as much good
as possible, he has concluded to send the recipe,
with full Instructions for putting up and using the
medicine, free to all who may order it. In or
der to defray the expenses of advertising, letter
writing, postage &c., he requires each applicant for
the Recipe to enclose 10 cents and direct to M. t.

sent by seturn of mail jan7-11ly.
