@ A French paper, received by the
steamer Canada, dated November 3, con-
tains news of such Importance to the la
dies, that we think it necessary to trans
late it fer their benefit immediately
Here is the momentous paragraph:
The sojourn Of the Court at Compeigne
is going to have n very remarkable effect
upon the fashion OF the season. At the
request of Her Majesty, the Empress,
crinoline is definitely banished, and for
promenades in ordinary toilettess, nous
selene de lane has been adopted. All
dresses will be OF this material, but not
long and trailing. They are to be short,
so as to show the lower part Of tie leg n

squatter Sovereignty Repudiated,

ss ~
The Richmond Enquirer, which is the
organ Of Gov. Wise, and which was not
long since the advocate Of Squatter Sow
ersignty, now repudiates that doctrine.-
1t says:
"lf we compromise with squatter SOW
ereignty, we must maks-a similar com
promise with Ossawatomie. For squat.
teri sovereignty is the worse and more
dangerous traitor Of the two. And worst
Of all is the forked tongue traitor Com.
promise. Yes, verify, and when John
Brown is hung, there shall be two addi-,
tional scaffolds erected by the courage,
and fidelity, and conservatism of Virgin.
ia, squatter Sovereignty shall hang
from the one and Compromise from the
other, until the Charleston Convention
shall pronounce the emphatic words, dead!
deadl dead!'"
The Enquirer now demands not only
protection to Slave property in the terri.
tories. but protection to it. by Congress,
in the States. That is the end to which
democray is tending.

injured in Evansville, Ind, last week, in
an attempt to rescue her from d burning
house. In the excitement Of the alarm
she was told to jump from an upper win
dow upon a mattress, which four men
held up to receive her. and in falling she
struck near the corner, and the concus-

threw the lady on the ground and broke
her arm. The fire was put out with a

GET READY FOR THE Census MAN"
Next year will occur the great decen.
nial census Of the United States, made
by the general government Persons
will be appointed for every locality in
the States and Territories TO gather sta :
tistics Of the inhabitants, and of all the
agricultural productions, manufactures,
etc--Every cultivator will be asked for
concise and accurate statement Of land
occupied by him, the number of acres
and the amount Of each crop raised by
him during the year enling June, etc..
Those who were called upon in 1850 will
doubtless remember the difficulty expe-
rienced in making up an accurate report
of the various crops. As these reports
will be called for in June, it will be ne
cessary to give in the crops gathered this
year, and the suggestion that we now
make is, that culliyators write down,
while fresh in mind, the number Of acres
under cultivation, including the wheat,
ETC., already gathered. The number Of
acres OF each kind. the amount per acre,
and the gross amount will be required
The milk products also, and the amount
of pork, beef, ETC., will also be asked

DR.. MENEEs was asked TO vote for the repeal Of
the entire vsgrant act hut he thought that it was

The Act of 1901, which DR.. MENEEs voted against
repeating prohibits persons Offame and suspicious
character to 60 from one county to another without
getting from ouch magistrate a certificate setting
forth their business and destination.
If the Chronicle wishes to convey the impression
that this law has any more reference to poor men
than to ricn men, it does injustice to DR.. MENEEs,
aud the other gentlemen who voted with him.
II, however, it regards all poor men as Infamous,
that opinion is perfectly consistent with the doc
trines repeatedly expressed by the Chronicle, that
the property holders and educated classes should
control the government while the poor and unedu-
Gated SD Guild be excluded frcm the polls.
We protest against both the differences Of which
the CHRONICLES article is susceptible. A law in
tended TO secure the community against vicious
vsgabOnds, can have ne application to the honest
poor men Of the country.

On MONDAY, the 18th, the "Un errifei" had a
glorious feast. CIV HARRIS made complete tri-
umph over his competitor His elOcutiOn was Of
the highest order, bis reasoning clear and lucid,

politician. The Democracy were well pleased, and
perfectly satisfied. Governor HAHsIs' speech was

North and South upon snti-slsvery platforms to
defeat the Democracy, was convincing, and Col
NETHERLAND could not evade the force of it, no.
even with an snecdote. The Democracy were well
pleased with the proceedings of the day.
Col NETHERLAND is q shrsWd taetcian aud IN
