The negro himself can

have ahigher law. The negro himself can
appeal to the court of heaven. but what
refuge has the Southern church? Renew
ed laughter. None whatever. This de-
cision Is blow, direct and terrible. falling
with crushing violence upon our Southern
brethren. This Supreme Court with cru
ell and relentless hostility, has prosecuted
the Southern church as the dragon of the
Apocalypse pursued the woman into the
wilderness, seeking to devour her off
spring. Much laughter.
What motives could have impelled the
court to this act? ] have no doubt a pat
riotic motive. / am not here to impugn
the motives of any man, or of any set of
men, much Less of the highest judicial tri-
bunal of thi: land. No doubt, sir. their
motives Were patriotic, for they had wit
messed the devastation Of this terrible re-
ligious fanaticism through the South
They had seen the rsvages of this disas-
trous missionary monomania, and they de-
termined that there must be an end of it;
and how could they SO effectually end it as
by annihilating at once the object of its
aims and aspirations? That, sir, they
have done.

L.comp,on Dead! DeadI Dead!'!

The Senate having refused to concur IN
the amendments of the House to the Le-
compton swindle Bill, il was returned to
the House on Thursday last, when on mo-
ton of AIr. Montgomery. of Pennsylva-
MIA, the House adhered to its amendment,
by yeas 10, nays Ill. y motion to re-
consider this vote was promptly laid nPon
the table. Two thirds will be required to
bring it up again. and consequently. the
monster may be considered dead, as the
Republicans now have him in their power.
II is thought BY some thai the Senate will
vet agree to the amendments of the House,
aad thus take the question out of Congress,
but that is just what the Democrats don't
want-if they did they would not hesitate
moment to accept such a fair proposition.

Cabinet Changes.

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Herald iorcshalows impor-
tant changes in the Buchanan Cabinet
Says he:
There arc rumors running deep among
certain leading men here. of possibility,
and some say necessity, of change in the
Cabinet. They say there must be more
vigor and less decentralization in high
places.
This is evidently aimed at Gen. Cas-:
who, is, as every body knows. quite unfit
for the arluous duties of the State Depart
ment. He was appointed because of his
anteccdcnts; but JOIN APPLETON, of Maine,
is really Secretary of State.

The .9pru Elections.
Connecticut.

Returns from all but IL towns in Con
necticut return 134 Republicans and rs
Democrats to the House of Representatives
The Senate it is believed will stand IL Re-
publicans to 5 Democrats. The vote for
Governor in the same towns, gives Buck
ingham. the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, plurality of 3,l00. Our readers
should recollect that the Democratic ticket
was supported not only by both sections oil
the Democratic party, but by the Know
Nothings, whose candidate for Governor de-
clined in favor of the Democratic candidate,
and was afterwards nominated for Senator
by the Democrats. The victory is Rcpub-
lican, pure and simple.

H The anti-Lccompton Democratic
press in this state. with ore or two excep
tons, arc ont in strong terms against the
late speech of bogus Senator j. d. Bright,
on Lecompton. The last Laportc Times
contains lengthy review Of it, in which
the sham Senator is handled as he ought
to be. He has disgraced the State long
enough. The National Democrat. the new
anti-Lecompton or Douglass organ at In
dianapolis, speaks of it as follows:
Senator Bright, in his Lecompton
speech in the Senate, argues that there arc
cardinal objections" to submission Of
constitutions to a vote of the people for
ratification or rejection. Strange doctrine
that, to ring in peoples ears in this year
of our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and fifty eight But that is only one Of
the many startling absurditics into which
Mr.. Bright and his conductors have been
driven by their zeal in defence of Lecomp-
ton. 1t will require all the ingenuity
which they can command for the next half
century, to erase the foul blot which they
voluntarily affix to the record of their De-
mocracy. Such sentiments as those utter
ed by Mr.. Bright would have done credit
to federalism in its palmiest days. We
didn't think there was SO much of the '.old
leaven" in the country.

of 1880 was remarkable for the scarcity of
money; so much so, that one man who was

enough to pay an officer to swear him in;
SO he stood up before a looking-gloss and

Within the past two or three days, ear

complete failure. Every male citizen Of
the United States, twenty one years old,
and upward, and foreigners who have been
IN the country one year and have declared
their intention to become citizens, are quail
flied electors. Tho question of universal

Schools are required to be established, open

to the control of their own persons, is as
serted to be prior to law, and inalienable,
and the right of trial by jury is declared to
extend to persons of every condition.
These ale among the liberal provisions of

struggle between the liberal and conserva-
