sn agreed sum of money, generally about six
hundred dollars. Their employers agreed to pay

Usually made with the parents of the girls by an
agent in Europe, and they appear to be faithfully
kept 1t is natural to suppose that the morals of
these girls are entirely corrupted in the low com
pany which they are compelled to keep in the

Yatchful of each other that they return home as

JUDGE DOUGLAS AND GENERAL CAss IN


During the discussion of the Kansas Ncbras-
ka bill, in the Senate Of the United States, in
1854, Judge Douglas said:-
"The position that have ever taken has
been that this (the slavery question: and all 9th
er questions relating to the domestic affairs and
domestic policy of the Territories, ought to be
left to the decision of the people themselves;
and that we ought to be content with whatever
way they would decide the question, because
they have a much deeper interest in these mat
tiers than we have, and know much better what
institutions suit them than we, who have never
been there, can decide for them"
The Secretary of State, Gen. Cas-, then Sen
ator from Michigan, said:--
"We know we cannot touch their domestic
hearths, nor their domestic affairs; their family
and social relations; their wives nor their chill
di en-; their men-seruGnts nor their Haid-serpGHts;
their houses, their farms nor their property,
without gross violation Of the inalienable rights
of nsn. consecrated by the blood of our fathers,
and hallowed by the affections of their sons.
Mr.. Stephens, of Georgia, took an active and
leading part in support of the bill. We again
copy from his speech made in the House on the
18th of February, 1884,
"And where do you, calling yourselves Dem
ocrats from the North, stand upon this great
question of popular rights1 Do you consider it
Democratic to exercise the high prerogative of
sitting the voice of the adventurous pioneer,
and restricting his suffrage in matter concern
ing his own interest, happiness and government,
which he is much more capable of deciding than

WHAT fHEMDIAEs DID AT THE sMITHso.

On Monday morning, about twenty of the In
dian chiefs and warriors now in the city, visited
the Smithsonian institute, and were conducted
through the various departments, where they
evinced their surprise and delight, after their
wild fashion. In the picture gallery (S.anley's
Indian Paintings,5 they were particularly inter
ested by the representation of a war dance
around two captises-a woman and o ehilds--
They xere nu.t lIspPOinted7at not fading
portraits of any OF their own tribes in the gal
lery. e-zi a - 0i- 'rt ri-G T
In the apparatus room, a number Of them were
induced TO join hands, ard severe galvanic
shock was given them. Some Of them gaTeiYent
to the significant Ugh" indicating their sur
prise, and turned fereely about to discover the
person they supposed had struck them-Othes
rubbed their arms and elbows, and from the gen.
eral talk in their own language, one would sup
pose~they had entered upon a scientific discus
sion of the nature of the singular discussion.
Afterwards several Of them took shocks sin
gly, and it was curious to witness the grim de-
termination with which these stoies Of the will
derness undertook to assume that air Of impas-
siveness which tradition asserts they maintain
when undergoing torture as captives. But it was
no go; they had to knuckle TO science, and as
one after the other of the astonished braves was
doubled up, tumbled upon his knees, and knock
ed into heap generally by the powerful battery,
he was saluted by most uproarious jeers and
laughter by his fellows.
Some of the party mounted the high north
tower Of the Institute; but when at the top only
one of them could be prevailed upon to approach
the edge and look down the dizzy height, most
of them squatting down as soon as they reached
the summit.
One of them was observed placing small pie
ces of tobacco on the parapet. The interpreter
explained that this was intended as an offering
to the Great Spirit, as the Indians believed that
at this hight they were nearer The Deity than
they had ever been before, and accordingly i'm
proved'the opportunity to pay their worship.
On descending, the Indians had great war
dance with singing, in the lecture room, and
shortly after concluded this most interesting
visit Washington States.

CHAPTER OF SECRET POLITICAL HISTORY

The Washington Republic has the following
interesting chapter ofsScret political history
Gov Wise's detection from the Administer
ton has a secret history which, in the progress
of the quarrels between the Democratic leaders,
cannot be kept secret much longer.
The President started out with the policy Of
securing to the people Of Kansas fair vote up
on their Constitution. He sent Governor Wal
ker to Kansas TO execute that policy. For q
while he stood firm, and wrote a. letter to Gov
ernor Walker, mot yet published, but shown BY
Governor w. to many persons,) assuring him Of
the support of the Administration. 'Let Geor-
gia, and Alabama, and Mississippi howl" said
the President in this letter, al viii stand by
you" That the President used substantially
this language, is well authenticated fact.
In the end, the "howling'' became so terrific,
that poor Buchanan was frightened out of his
wits, changed his policy, and abandoned Gov.
Walker.
Before he changed his policy, he had arrang-
ed with Gov. Wise to make diversion against
the fire eaters in Virginia. Gov. Wise, and the
Richmond Enquirer, under Gov. Wise's inhu-
ence, we're to support the Administration pro-
gramme in Kansas, and the Administration were
to support Gov. Wise for the United States Sc
natorship against Mr.. Hunter. Gov. Wise ar
rived here, to complete and perfect these ar
rangements, on the very day that the Union an
nounced the Presidents submission to the nulli-
fers. Gov. Wise went home, and has been
since nursing tie wrath which breaks out in his
letter to Tammany Hall. Not only was his
scheme of defeating Mr.. Hunter blown up, but
he himself had been drawn into commitments
upon the Kansas question which destroy his
Democratic standing, disabled as he is from ma
king any effective fight by the treaehery of the
President. Gov. Wise is betrayed man, and,
as a Democratic politician, ruined. fine does
not compass some revenge" evenif victory be
unattainable, it will prove that age has wonder
fully softened his temper.

A PARALLEL.-Whoever is familiar with the
documents Of our Revolutionary era must have
been struck by the close resemblance, in spirit
and general drift, between the manifestoes Of
George III. and his satellites against our Revo-
lutionary fathers and the Lecompton Message
of President Buchanan. The same general COM
plant of turbulence, faction, laWlcsness, rebel
all. Read Royal Governors Proclamation Of
l770-75, and you would infer from it that our
Wings of that day were the most hw-defying,
bloodshed loving, ungovcrnable, unreasonable
reprobates you ever heard of. The particular
facts asserted were generally so; only the ante
cedent provocations and usurpations were care
fully suppressed. The Non Importation agree
ment, the refusal to vote supplies, the destruc-
ton of the tea, &C., were facts; but the Stamp
Act, the Tea Tax, and the assertion by Pariia-
nent Of its right to bind the Colonies in all ca
ses whatsoever, were utterly ignored and con-
eealed-and these were the causes, the obvious
and sufficient causes, of the acts Of the coonsts
exposed and reproved by the royalists as subver-
sive of Law and Order. And yet twas in truth
royal usurpation and subyersion Of popular
rights that caused those very tumults and disor-
ders which the royalists so loudly reprehended-
They were the direct and inevitable fruits OF
their own misdeeds, whereof they of all men
had the least right to complain.
Every question has a right side and wrong
one, and a clever. plausible, voluble lawyer or
politician can make the latter look exceedingly
like the former. IT'S his vocation. An all but
infallible tombstone for separating argument
and demonstration from sophistry and deception
will be found in the question" Does he begin al
the 5eginning7" He who has the right side nat
uralIy begins there-don't want to begin any
where else. The sophist, on the contrary be-
gins In the middle, and exhibits those facts only
which he can reconcile With the bad cause he is
doomed to uphold. Try the Presidents Extra
ordinary Kansas Message BY this test, and its
true character is uanifest-Nao York Tribune,

An EDIroR SoLD.-The Springfield co. Non
pareil got up nice little story about Mr.. B.
R. Andy leading astray the young men OF that
village, and swindling them out Of their money.
The editor of the Columbus Fact snapped at the
bait, and swallowed it after the following fash
ion:
"E1rosuE.-The Springfield Noupareil no
tees the case of Mr.. B. R. Andy, hailing from
New York, who has swindled the citizens OF
Springfield pretty extensively. Be on your
guard, for now is time when men such as this
Andy viii seek to live BY knavery rather than
by honesty and industry"
We rather think that the Fact man had =
bibed too much bad brandy, when be was sold
50 thoroughly by the Nonpareil.

How TRUASr HUSBAND WAS FoUND.-The
Bloomington (Ill.) Pantograph, tells good sto-
~ of one of its citizens, who sought after ser
want girl, and found one in the person Of his de-
serted wife: ...-
On Saturday, the 22d inst, Mrs. Mary s. Rich,
agent of the "Woman's Protective Emigration
Society,"" arrived at the Western Depot from
New York, in charge Of between seventy and
eighty young women, some twenty-five or thirty
of whom we're intended for this place. Early in
the morning a married man Of this city went to
the depot and inquired for Mrs. Rich. The mar
RED man found Mrs. Rich. The married man
told Mrs. Rich he wanted girl to do Homework
Mrs. Rich asked the married man who he was
The married man satisfied Mrs. Rich that he wa:
all right, and that the servant girl would be vel
treated in his family. Mrs. Rich then asked the
married man to walk into the room where the
young women were. The married MAJ walked
into the room. Mrs. Rich told the young ladies
that the married man wanteds girl to do house
work. One of the young ladies then walked up
10 the married man and said, " I'll go with this
gentleman; I've lived with him before; he's my
husband!' Somebody was very much astonish-
ed when the young lady found her husband, and
another somebody looked very pale when the
married man found his first wife.
The sequel is, the married man broke for the
railroad depot and slOped rapidly.

LESSON TO RoBBERs OF HEX Roosrs.-An old
French lady, who lives alone on jackson, near
Lami street, has for some time past, noticed
that some of her finest and best fowls we're sto-
len in the night time. She stated her grievances
to few of her neighbors, and they advised her
to get up sort of " internal machine for the
benefit Of the thieves. Acting in accordance
with this counsel, night before last she loaded
pistol with fine shot, and so fixed it in the coop
that when it was opened piece Of twine that
was fastened to it would pull the trigger. She
then retired to rest Some hours after, she heard
loud report, which was followed by tremen-
dous screaming, and expected to find corpse
in the yard in the morning. In this she was dis
appointed. Whoever received the shot went
away. 1t was pretty generally supposed in the
neighborhood that the purloiner Of chickens
would not return.-MissOuri Republican.
