What do these Democratic, Pro.Slayery Revolu.
tioniss aim at in the overthrow Of the Governmssi
which they propose to undertake Immediately sfta
their defeat in the Presidential election Of 1897
For aught that appears TO the contrary, they d.
sign to introduce in this country the system Of rere
lutions. pronuncianlentOs, civil war, aud general
anarchy which has brought Mexico and various
South American States into the decay, weakness
and insecurity Of which every mail brings US nee
details. Those who desire to see such state a
things in this country Will continue to support TIE
party which counts these revoluiionsts aud 40.
archsts among its chief ornaments Those on The
other hand who wish TO defend the Constitution and
maintain the Union intact, will enroll themselves
under the Republican banners. We commend the
subject to the consideration Of those who are en-
gagged in getting up the meeting OF Monday next.

The President has nominated and the Senate
confirmed, for the vacancy in the Office of L. S.
District Attorney for the Southern District Of New
York, caused BY the death of Theodore SedgwicA,
Hon. Amssa j. Parker, of Albany. 1t appears
that the friends Of John Van Buren, had made siren
uous efforts in his behalf for the nomination, and
they take the interpretation of Mr. Van Burens
claims as q reflection upon the entire Democratic
portion of the Bar in this City. They overlook the
fact that the President is in want of reliable men
Just at this time.

Weregret to observe in some Of our City Ioursai

have no right to do anything of the sort nass

who don't relish the performance have perfect
right to stay away. II they attend they are unas
a moral and social obligation to keep quiet. So if
as We can see, the call OF the meeting is exphciuy

Mr. WADE of Ohio made the right sort of a
Speech in the Senate yesterday-ful OF solid
sense frankly and Iorcibly uttered. One such
Speech, well difTused through the South, will do
more to calm agitation than dozen Union-sa'ing
meetings. Mr.. Wades contrast OF the com
placency wherewith the South and the Government
received the Pro-Slavery invasion and devastation
of Kansas, with the excitement created by John
Browns raid was most impressive. We trust
bis speech viii be widely read.

ordesl The majority were anxious to proceed
with the business of electing a Speaker bat Mr.

postpone the infection for day, the majority re-
fused to do il, and constrained the Hon. gentleman
to unburden himself OF much foul matter. Ii is to

A DOMESTIC W0NAN.-The Vevay Ns'os
gives an account of lady who visited that
town for the first time on Thursday last,
though she has been living within four miles
of it forty-fve years; nor has she ever Wis.
tied any other town, city, or village.
We not long since met with an old lady
who informed us that she has lived within
ten miles of the Ohio river upwards OF forty
years, and during all this time she has seen
the river bat once, and that was twenty five
years ago. Although living within few
hours journey of Evansville and Henderson
she hes never visited either place and upon
being told of the growth and improvement
OF these towns, she expressed much surprise
and allowed that she would yet live 10 SCI
them. The old lady appeared to be in III,
enjoyment OF good health, and evinced boil
intelligence and activity, although quite al

bH correspondent of the st. Louis
Republican, writing from Camp Floyd, April
5th, furnishes the following Utah items:
We have some six prisoners, all more or
less connected with the Parrish murder, one
of whom, Durfee, has confessed enough to
hang about a dozen, if tried before an inn
partial Jury The general impression here
is, that even il these prisoners are convicted
by fair and impartial Court, Gov. Cum
mings will reprieve them. They think so
themselves, and their wives think so and
say so openly.
If Gov. Cumming is not Mormon he
certainly is under the influence Of Brigham
Young and his confederates So is the Dis
tric. Attorney, q Mr.. Wilson, Of Philadel-
phis, who is probably one of Colonel Kane :
| apostles
| can have an affidavit from man now
in the Territory, 10 the effect that Kane was
baptized into the church, AT, ] think, Kane
vile, now Council Bluffs.
When have time and feel in the huuoI
of writing, will relate to you the whole
circumstances Of not only the Parrish muir
der, at Springville, in the spring of 1857,
but of several others, of equal atrocity and
horror, as derived from confessions and evil
dence taken before the Hon. Judge Cradle
baugh, at Provo, while was present. The
most vivid imagination could hardly pic
ture such horrors as have been recently de-
yeloped.
Murder upon murder has been committed
by these canting hounds, being connselleC
to it by the Bishop he by the President o
the State, and he by Brigham, either direct
ly or indirectly. They do these things b!
councils, and consider it not only right bu
wrong to disobey.

A serious difficulty has occurred between
the officers of the Union depot, at Indian
apolis, and the hotel and railroad runners
The rule of the depot prevents runners OF
all kinds from infesting and annoying pas
sengers with their opportunities. Ii is
against this rule the runners rebelled. II is
stated that some of the railroads having a
representation on the Union Board, wink At
the action of tie runners. IL this be true,
the depot will become rs widely celebrated
for its scenes Of violence, as it has been for
its good order and accommodations. Mr..

@r A Correspondent of the Cincinnati

s@- A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Tiass, writing from Sumner, Kansas, says !:
Conflicting and unsatisfactory reports seem
to make no difference in the vast Western
emigration of the present season. Private
trains are constantly starting for Pixies
Peak; and while the number now on the
road cannot be much less than twenty thous-
and, from FIVE to eight hundred persons per
day are now going ont. Two daily stage
lines from LeayenwOrth = morning and
evening-are in successful operation. Many
of those who go out by private trains, yoke
in cows like oxen, in their teams, econo-
MIXING means, and compelling those patient
domestic animals to afford them both motive
power and tactical nourishment. Milk must
certainly be rare luxury on the plains, for
even here on the frontiers it costs twice as
much per gallon as whisky; and in many
of the border towns at least twice as much
whisky as milk seems to be consumed. The
most Of the gold-seekers ft out in Leaven-
worth, ST. Joseph and Kansas City. Wag-
oRs, carrying from 1000 TO 1000 pounds,
are selling at from So to SlO0; cows $50
to $50 apiece; oxen $50 to Sl2O per yoke
horses S35 to S75 apiece There is no i'm
portant intelligence fromAe West since my
last; but the gold begins to come in in
somewhat larger quantities than formerly.

n0y- The new Canadian cent pieces. wkic

bS- The new Canadian cent pieces, which
have been lately struck off at the British
mint possess peculiarities which give them
a value additional to that of their currency
They are not only tokens of value, but also
standards of weight and measure-lo0
cents weigh exactly one pound, and one cent
measures one inch. Thus, in the common
transactions of life, the buyer will have a
ready check upon the dishonest dealer
