ter OF forming Constitution or organic
law for the government of State. 1t
would have been, if successful, a mon
strous stride towards consolidation, tend
ing to the destruction of State rights and
popular rights. Having misapplied pow
er in vain endeavor to impose upon the
people Constitution which they did not
want and would rot accept, it is now in
timated that, by like abuse Of power,
the Central Government will oppose ad-
mittance to the Union of the same State
and people, when. in the rightful exercise
of popular sovereignty" they shall have
formed and adopted Constitution for
their own government. Against such
an abuse of authority. such denial to
the people of the rightful exercise of
their inherent rights, there can scarcely
be divided opinion among our coun-
trymen.
If the people of Territory have the
numbers and resources that will justify
them in taking upon themselves the re-
sponsibilities and duties appertaining to
sovereignty, that is sufficient. Congress
and the executive have already decided
this question and it will not answer for
the central authorities to say, that be-
cause the people would not accept par
ticular instrument dictated to them by
the Federal Government, they shall not
be permitted to exercise sovereignty, and
form an organic law for their own gov
ernment at any time they please hereaf-
ter. This would be resumption Of pow
err by the Federal Government, after hav-
ing once acknowledged that it rightfully
belonged to the people in interest,"
despotic blow at popular sovereignty that
could not be acquiesced in.
In our country and under our system,
popular sovereignty prevails, and is heard,
and has force, and scope, and power,
through the States. 1t is the element
which makes States and State Constitu-
tons. The Federal Government is the
creature of the States, and is not based
on popular sovereignty. but is made up
of certain grants of power, delegated to
it by no popular vote. but by the States
in their sovereign capacity. Let our poll
ticians observe proper distinctions when
making their professions of regard to
popular sovereignty" and not run in
to the error of consolidation. Our Re-
public is Federal Union of sovereign
States, and not consolidated empire
The popular vote in some States has
greater relative weight in the affairs OF
the General Government than in others,
and must continue to have, while the
Union exists but this would not be the
case, if what is termed popular sover-
eighty, and known as such in the States,
obtained in like manner in the National
Government; in that event. each vote
would count alike, and be equal in influ-
ence, whether given in Maine or Carroll
ma. New York or Delaware.

BURIED ALIvE.-A rich manufac turer
named .Oppelt, died about fifteen years
since at Retchenberge in Austria, and a
vault was built in the cemetery for the re-
ception Of the body by his widow and
children. The widow died abouta month
ago, and was taken to the same tomb /;
but when il was opened for that purpose,
the coffin Of her husband was found open
and empty, and the skeleton of the de-
ceased discovered in corner OF the vault
in sitting posture. A commission was
appointed by the authorities to examine
into the affair. when they gave their
opinion that NJ. Oppelt was only in a
trance when buried. and that, on coming
to life, he had forced open the coffin.

A good many years ago, a man stole
COW from Morristown, New Jersey, and
drove her to Philadelphia for sale. She
was a common cow enough. except she
had lost all her tail but about six inch
es. The thief, fearing that by the short
ness of her tail he might be traced. had
procured in some way, probably from
slaughter house, another cows tail,
which he fastened SO ingeniously 10 the
short tail, that it could not be seen that
it had not originally grown there.
As soon as the Jerseyman missed his
cow, he set off for Philadelphia. think
ing she would be probably carried there
for sale, and it happened that when he
came to the ferry, he got into the same
boat that was carrying over his COW, and
the fellow that stole her. As it was matu-
raj that he should have his thoughts
very mnch upon cows, he soon began to
look at this one with very great attention.
She was he thought, very much like his
cow. Her marks agreed wonderfully.
and she had exactly the same.expression
Of face, but then the expression of tail
was to very much different. It must be
supposed that the new owner of the COW
felt rather uncomfortable during the ex-
animation, for he soon saw that this was
the person whose property he had sto-
len, and was very uneasy least he should
take hold of her tail, which he looked at
so continually. Upon the whole he
thou ght it best to divert his attention in
some way, if possible, and therefore step
ping up to him, he said -
'Neighbor that is fine COW Of mine,
won't you buy her? You seem to know
what good COW is. 4
'Oh,' said the other, I've Just had a
cow stolen from me-
We'll. replied the thief. I'm sorry 70
hear they've gone to stealing cattle, but
I'll sell off, and you could not better re-
place your loss than by buying this COW.
III warrant she's as good as yours
Why said the Jerseyman, she was
exactly like this one. only that mine had
no tail to speak of; and il this one hal
not such long tail. I'd swear that it was
my cow
Everybody now began to look at the
cows tail, but the thief stood nearer to
it than any body, and taking hold Of il 50
as just to cover the splicing with his left
hand. and with jack-knife in the right
hand. pointing to the tail. he said -
And SO. ifthis cows tail was only
this long, you'd swear she was yours 2
That would, said the other, who
began to be very much confused at the
resemblance to his COW, except in this
one particular. when the thief. with
sudden cut of his knife, took off the tail
just about an inch above the splicing.
and throwing it overheard bloody as It
was, turned to the other and said -
Now swear it's your COW
The bewilderment of the poor man was
now complete, but as he had seen the tail
cut off, and saw the blood trickliny from
it, he could of course lay no claim to the
animal from the shortness of the tail !; in
deed here was proof positive that this was
not his cow-so the thief. going over
with him. sold the cow without any lear
of detection.

Of the Murder in Jones Co


Particulars Of the Murder i'm Jones Co.
From gentleman of this city, who
attended the funeral of Mr.. Kinneally.
mentioned in yesterdays paper as muir
dered by Pendergrast, we gather the fol-
lowing particulars Mr.. Kinneally had
hired Pendergrast to NOW and work for
him on his farm. On Saturday morning
the two with another hired man named
Clancy, had gone to work some distance
from Kinneally's farm, on land owned
by Mr.. Moloney, we understand. rela-
tive of Kinneally's. While at dinner at
his house, Pendergrast made the remark
while in liquor, that he would give moth
ing for Kinneally's oath. Words ensued.
but the lady of the house interfered and
stopped the difficulty. All three then
went back in the evening to Kinneally's s
house. While at supper. Pendergrast
used some annoying or insulting words
to Kinneally in regard to Mrs. Kinneally.
Kinneally got up. took him by the shoul-
der and led him out Of the house, asking
him for " Gods sake" to go home
Pendergrast swore that he would, "by
God" be revenged on him. Kinneally
led him to his barn, gave him his scythe
which was hanging in it, and again told
him to go home. Pendergrast seized it,
drew it on him, and chased him round
a wagon. In the chase, Kinneally picked
up neck yoke to defend himself. CLANCY,
who had just come up at that moment,
ran to help him, but too late. With one
sweep he struck Kinneally in the thigh,
almost entirely severing one, and cutting
the femoral arteries in both. He died m
three or four minutes. In the same
sweep. after taking effect on Kinneally,
the scythe struck the back part Of one
of Glancy's legs above the knee, sever.
ing several ligaments, and prostrating
him. He then made of for the bushes,
but in few moments came back, having
stripped off his shirt. He was then
seized and arrested by Justice Brandt,
who came up. 1t was found necessary
to secrete him from the enraged people,
who would have hurg him probably at
once. Officers arrived from Anamosa,
and took him in charge secretly, and he
now lies in the Jail Of that town. Kin
neatly leaves wife and seven children.

DIR. Chaplin ON the Atlantic Telegraph

DR.. Chaplin ON the Atlantic Telegraph.
The following is the very eloquent
passage in Rev. DR.. E. H. Chapin's dis
course, Sunday, in the Second Universe
list Church, in relation to the Atlantic
cable:
Let us not fail to recognize the great
ness, the grandeur, of this achievement.
Lot no supposed honoring of religion
no intention of exalting the moral, OF
spiritual, above the merely physical, hide
from us the full glory of that effort by
which, for the last three hundred years,
man has obtained this mastery over ma.
ture. For, in simple truth, it is not
mans glory, but Gods glory, that is un-
folded in the gradual development Of hu-
man knowledge and human power. Thus,
the magnificent consummation Of the
past week, which has simultaneously
startled two hemispheres. has awakened
in us those feelings that are deepest and
Understanding words inadequate and
sending our thoughts upward not only
in astonishment, but in reverence and
thanksgiving. In such work we feel
the thrill Of Gods hand sweeping through
events, and translating into prophetic
symbol the processes Of ages and signi-
ficance of history.
Men wait upon it, breathless, con-
scious that it inaugurates an era, wonder
ing to what new music the earth's round
wheel will turn, and pondering the in
calculable consequences. Yes, the first
sentiment awakened by such triumph
is religious sentiment. 1t demonstrates
the fact that spirit is the beginning and
the end of all mechanism and all matter
Through every physical barrier mind
rushes to the embrace of mind, and hear,
to heart-sending, swift as lightning,
through the arches of the tumultuous
sea, the viewless courses of thought. and
tempering the thunder of the sky into
the silent pulsations of world felt love
and joy. In this view, scientific achiey-
ment, expanding beyond all mercenary
uses, becomes the Shekinah of the living
God-at once his awful veil of mystery.
and the signal of his presence.
