Sudden Change of Opinion.

The CINCINNATI Inquirer, thus a!ludes to
the sudden change CT opinion experienced
by the Black Republicans in reference to GER
tain members Of Congress:
The Black Republicans are exceedingly
indignant at those Anti Lecompton Demo
Gratis who have evinced a disposition to sup
port the Compromise report of the Kansas
Conference Committee They are denoun-
ced as 'traitors," "venal members" despised
instruments of the slave power" and as
destitute Of principle as of decency."
A while ago they were the 'defans of Ex-
ecutive patronage" ''men of Independence
and nerve" 'men who could be neither Sc
duced, bribed nor threatened into party sub
mission" That is most too sudden change
in the character Of men, and especially when
no adequate motive can be assigned for it.
1t is much easier to account for the sudden
charge in the character Of the opinion of the
Black Republicans. A few days ago those
members were acting in concert with Black
Republicans; now they ere acting against
them. That accounts for the milk in the CO.
Goa nut. 1t is they who have changed their
opinions of the men, and not that the char
acters Of the men for honor or integrity have
changed The abuse of such men as English
Pendleton, Groesbeck, Cockerll and others
now receive at the hands of the Black Re-
publicans is as strong presump;ive proof that
they are now right as their praise efore was
strong presumptive proof that they was then
wrong.

What the London Times thinks about our
Uuah Difficulties.

The London Times has letter on the
Mormon difficulties, in which, after some
common-places, it remarks that the Mormons
must support desperate struggle, or acqui-
esce in the reform of their institutions, or
accept the alternative of seeking refuge
bevond the domnions Of the United States.
1t concludes in the following language:
"We certainly cannot desire their pres
ence within the British Territory, and re-
cent speech, comparing their present condi
ton with British colonial bondage" makes
us hope that Queen Vctoria's empire will
not be favored with new race of polygam-
lists. They may, however, migrate into the
Mexican Territory, drive out the Indians,
and set up their sensual theocracy in the
place of native supers,tions. But this will
only defer the day Of the inevitable struggle.
The tide of American settlement will follow
them, and Brigham Young or his successor
will be threatened with extirpation by a new
that the Mormon body WILL under the pres
sure Of necessity, overthrow their priests and
prophets, and accept the merely human
nominees Of Mr. Buchanan. Mormonism is
said to have already undergone some changes
The book written on the golden plates is
falling into disrepute, and the Bible is being
restored to its old supremacy Why should
not the doctrine of Divine communication
through Brigham Young and the practice of
polvgamy also pass away' If that were the
case then Mormonism would be as harmless
as the creed Of the Shakers or the Southco-
tians. If the citizens of Utah will antici-
pate the resolve Of the United States and de-
throne their prophets, and if they will give
guarantees for more moral course of life
they may still be left in possession Of the re-
gions which it is said they have won from
the wilderness with almost unexampled in
dustry and perseverance"

A California Lawsuit.

"In the year ls49 the miners in a small
camp in Mariposa County elected as their al :
calde or Judge a rough old specimen from
the renowned State Of Pike County, Well,
one day old Judge Pike, as he was called,
had case brought before him. Uncle Tom
(an old man, also from 'Pike) and his part
ner, Bill, were the contending parties. In
ettling and dividing their gold dust Uncle
Tom accused Bill of having purloined ten
ounces of company dust, and had him up for
trial. Judge Pike having imbibed some red
eye,' appointed constable, and seating
himself upon a whisky cask, declared the
court opened and ready to try the case.
Uncle Tom proceeded to accuse Bill, and
stated that the dust was missing, and that
his partner Bill had stolen it. Bill called
him liar; Uncle Tom hit him one from the
shoulder. When they had got fairly into a
decent skrimmage the constable attempted
to separate them, but was overruled by the
Court, who declared that if the parties wish
ed TO settle their difficulty anicably, the
Court could not permit any one to interfere,
at the same time offering to bet that Uncle
Tom would gain the case. No one would
take the bet and Uncle Tom gained the case
altar having amicably pounded Bill until he
caved, and cried enough"

IF you make me believe one of your lies

John pretended to be quite hurt by the
offer, and went off. A few days afterward
he was riding by the Captains, post has te

The following from the Leavenworth
Daily Le1qer, will give some slight insight
into Kansas politics and the manner which
Black Republicanism has been sentenced:
Whilst the constitutional convention was
in session, a spir: of revelation at one time,
was manifest. If they continued in session
short time longer, we feel satisfied that we
would have learned where all the funds for
''bleedng Kansas" came from. and "whar''
they went to.
In course of debate Mr. Fish, member OF
the convention, and member of the Topeka
Legislature, regaled us with the following
within his own knowledge:
First. That two thousand dollars had been
subscribed in Burlington, Iowa. for the good
of the cause, to be the subject of Governor
Robinson's order.
Second. Two thousand dollars had been
subscribed in Quincy, Illinois, for the same
purpose, and subject to the same gentleman
order.
Third. That the Hon. Henry Wilson, a
Senator of the United States, from the com
monwealth of Massachusetts, had furnished
the funds to pay the expenses of the Topeka
Legislature.
To the third item of revelation we call
particular attention What a pity for suffer
ing humanity" that Mr.. Fish was not allow
ed to make clean breast of it.
