MR. ED1roR:-The spirit Of '76 is not

thought SO had you been in our village
on the 4lh inst. According to previous
arrangements. the citizens Of the neigh

early hour, to take part in the celebration
OF the S3d anniversary Of our indepen-
dence. To give you some idea how we
enjoyed ourselves, we will refer 10 the ex-
ercises Of the day.
+ A procession was formed in the School
House yard, at ten o'clock, headed by
Sett's Sax Horn Band, Of Bucyrus, fol-
lowed by speakers Of the day, boys, girls,
ladies and gentlemen in successive order.
The procession passed through town to
b. S. Welsh's grove, where the following
exercises took place:
Rev.J. Fegtly opened by prayer, after
which song was sung. Declaration Of
Independence was read by D. L. Burger.
and interesting speeches were made by
Mr.. Graham, Of Bucyrus, Mr.. McLain, Of
Brown Co.; Col. Moses H. Kirby and
Judge Leath. b;s6-
The company then repaired to the table,

for the occasion, the following toasts were
read: .s &

ing to be thankful that while other nations
were convulsed by war, they enjoyed
peace and liberty.

Huffmans,s Sentence.

Peter Huffman, whose conviction for
Manslaughter we noticed last week, was
sentenced on last Saturday Morning. by
Judge Plants, 10 one years imprisonment
in the penitentiary, the shortest term for
which the law provides.
The sentence of the Court seems to
meet with general approval, all being Of
opinion that this was one Of those unfor-
tunate cases in which it was only necessa-
ry 10 vindicate the law by his conviction
punishment not being the object. OF
course there were few exceptions, for
some men are so very humane and kind
hearted that it seemed as though they
would have taken the poor fellows very
life If the punishment had been left to
them. These exceptions were rare, how
ever. sis

useful routes and depriving the people Of

are sunk in giving out fit contracts to

. MIXING up The Rabies.

D.
The Weayeryille (Cal.) Journal gives
the following account of an affair which
although it may move Ne laughter Of our
readers, we fancy to have made some Of
the parties concerned laugh on the
wrong side of their mouths
Some time ago their was dancing
party given "up north; most Of the ladies
present had little babies, whose noisy
perversity required too much attention to
permit the mothers to enjoy the dance
A number Of gallant young men volun-
teered to watch the young ones while the
parents indulged in 'breakdown."-
No sooner had the women left the babies
in charge Of The mischivous young devils
than they stripped the infants, changed
their clothes, giving to one the apparel Of
another. The dance over, it was time
to go nome and the mothers hurriedly
took each baby. in the dress OF her own,
and started, sore Of their homes, ten or
fifteen miles off, and were far on their way
before daylight. But the day following
there was prodigioas row in that settle
ment; mothers discovered that single
day had changed the sex Of their babies
observation disclosed startling physiolo-
gicial phenomena, and then commenced
some of the tallest female pedestlianism;
living miles apart itrequired two days to
unmix the babies and as many months to
restore the woman to their naturally
sweet dispositions TO this day it is un'
safe for any Of the baby mixers to venture
within the territory. & ta y.

FOREIGNERS RANKED WITH SOUTHERN
SLAVES BY THE DrMocRArlc Press, Tho
Washington States, Democratics paper,
in defending the Cass doctrinein regard 10
naturalized citizens, remark:
AT a male slave Of Virginia--one Of
Mr.. Bou's, for instance, were to escape
from his owner, proceed to Prussia,
there become subject Of the Crown, and
subsequently, return to Virginia, Is ii likely
, that he would bcrestored to Prussia upon
the d, mand that he is q Prussian subs
ject9 4 H.
The notion is too absurd to be enter-
tained by rational being. Old Virgin
ia would surrender her existence before
she would surrender him
The cases are identical So long rs the
slave remained under the jurisdiction Of
the Prussian law. or out Of the confines Of
the United States SO long would his mas
Ter be without remedy for his wrong;
and SO long aslhc Prusslnn who owes
military Sc vice, remains in .he United
States, or within the confines Of Prussia
and the Germanic Confederation so long is
he secure from the exacions Of tie sovcr
egn in whose realm he WIS born"
This is protection to American citizens
with veagcancc According to this
doctrine, naturalized citizens will be pro.
tectcd just so long as they remain on our
soil, but whenever they step off they are
no longer entitled 10 the rights or protec.
ton usually afforded to an American ci-
tizen. The position is said TO be identi-
cal wish that Of a Virginia slave. This
may be good Democratic doctrine; if it,
is, we have no ambition to be called a
Democrat.

The Springfield Republic after noticing that
U. s. District Attorney Belden in the trial of
the rescue case departed from the record like
Jeffrey in order to inhict personal abuse on the
accused, and quoting literally from both, pre-
sents the following portrait Of a modern District
Attorney, in connection with certain District
Attomies about 1900 years ago. Says the Re-
public
George W. Belden, commonly called Judge
Belden, now prosecuting the rescue cases at
! Cleveland, under the OdiOus Fugitive Slave
Law, was, up to the time of his appointment as
District Attorney for the Northern District of
Ohio, always considered pretty good aboli-
tionist; at least, u strong anti slavery man. He
voted for Van Buren in l949, standing upon
the Free Soil Buffalo Platform, and termed up
his nose in utter disgust in 1850, upon the
passage of the "iniamous" Fugitive Slave Law
The appointment of District Attorney was ten
dered TO him at the suggestion of Mr.. Stanton
of Pennsy ylvania, on the resignation Of his pre-.
deeessor. Many of the leading Democrats in
the district opposed the appointment at the
time it was pending, upon the ground of his
free soil proclivties, bat before his appointment
came to the United States Senate, Judge Bel
den got new light OH the subject Of human
bondage, and declared in public meeting,
that the condition Of the African was very
much improved by bringing him to America
and keeping him in perpetual bondage
His sympathies for the white man were all
merged into sympathy for the poor African who
was so much benefited by the kindly and be-
nevolent institution of slavery. His appoint
ment was confirmed by Senate of the same
way of thinking--of course it was--and now at
the trial at Cleveland, of these men who are
charged with aiding tho escape Of bondman,
he sneeIs at the Higher Law" which is rever-
| enced by the freedom of the Christian Gospel
and the professors Of Oberlin College, and calls
it "the Devils Law"
His conduct reminds us of certain District At
tOrnies about 1920 yeaTs ago, who told Jesus
that he cast out devils through Beelzebub the
prince of devils The answer they got might
do for Belden
II was estimated that his Office Of District
Attorney would be worth thirty pieoes of silver
of q hundred dollars each. One Judas IscariOt
got thirty pieces of silver for betraying his
master with kiss, and when he got his money
and looked back upon his dirty work, he snesked
off and hung himself, and his blood money was
used for the purchase of potters field. We
shall be curious to know what Judas Bede1
will do with his thirty pieces of silver, and
whether he will dispose of himself in the man
ner Of his great prototype Wen keep an eye
| On him.

Somebody has said OF sung,
"a fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind"
and the conduct of the Federal Court touching
their imprisoned Kentucky witnesses, indicted
for kidnapping by the Grand Jury of Lornin
county, arrested by the Sheriff of that county
and rescued BY order Of Judge Wilson, gives
new point to the line quoted just look at the
unteard of proceedings to screen slave.c .catchers
indicted for Kidnapping
It is now well known that a warrant was is
sued by the U. s. District Court here several
days before the commencement of the Rescue
trials, for the apprehension Of Jennings and Nit
chell, and that some days ago an order was
made by which these men were taken into Gus
tody, all for the professed purpose of obtaining
their attendance as witnesses.
If such a warrant is ever lawfully and prop
erly used, it is only when the witness refuses
to attend, or being in attendance designs to de-
part, and thus deprive parties of the necessary
evidence
Was there so much danger that Jennings,
whose christian character has been endorsed by
District Attorney Belden, and illustrated by his
agreement to catch his neighbor Bacon's fugitive
without fee or reward Except half the mig
ger')-and the standing witness Mitchell, would
fail to appear and give testimony so indispensa-
BILE to saving the same Bacon from being fur
ther damaged that it became necessary for
Judge Wilson TO issue warrant and send a
Marshal to meet them at Columbus and that
too while they were making all haste to reach
Cleveland for the very purpose Of giving the
required testimony?
We feel authorized to say that such pro-
ceeding is irregular, and has no precedent in
the practice Of any Court.
But suppose this to be proper way of get
ting such witnesses into Court, why were they
ordered into custody so suddenly, after sixteen
days faithful attendance, without the remotest
idea of departure
The truth is just this. The whole Court
here have been engaged in using powers grant
ed for another and very different purpose to
screen offenders against the criminal laws Of
Ohio, from arrest and punishment.
To make this business sure the u. s. Dis
trict Court for the Northern district OF Ohio, has
earnestly lent its aid-the Court House is di-
verted from its legitimate use, and become a
guarded prison-seores of armed men fill apart
ments designed for other and better uses--and
the money of the people is poured out like
water by the Marshal to foot the bill, and ale,
for the sole purpose af protecting Indicted kid
- i
Is this a proper, legitimate and dignified bus-
mes for a Federal Court Let the people an
swer.

DR.. Trevilt Of Columbus. U s. Consul 70
Valparaiso, does not find his residence IN that
city altogether pleasant The Executive Of
Chill has revoked the e=sgudtor Of the Consul, on
'punt Of his harboring in his house several
OF tho rioters who attempted to burn the Palace
Of the Iutsndente and 10 get up a revolt in Val
paraiso, on the 2sth Of February. A letter
from Chill to the Times gives the facts in tl'
case. It appears that when the Captain Of The
Police was sent TO arrest the refugees the Con
sui was absent. Mrs. Trevtt, with Gag in hand
demanded Of the Captain what he wanted u
the house of the American Consul The OH
Ger said he came 10 arrest Roibo who was com

to give senor r. up in the absence Of the Con

COmereio says
"In this state Of things the Consul arrived il
a very excited state, and was stopped at the EN-
trance by the soldiers, but was admitted by or
der of the Captain. The Consul approached
the officer seeking to take from him his sword
which he resisted The Clerk of the Consu
then ran for a revolver which the Consul pre-
sented at the breast Of the official, ordering hin
TO deliver up his sword. The soldiers, seeing
this came up to defend him, but in order L
avoid trouble, they were promised an explana
tion. The captain and the Consul retired to I
room, when the latter became satisfied that the
officer had no intention to proceed with viO
lence; but, on the contrary, wished to explain
matters but the nervous state of the oOnsu
prevented it. AT this moment another Ameri

his entrance because they had not the permis

mitted by order of the captain. The result
finally was that the Consul, as well as his wife
and others in the house were all satisfied, with
out any more diFagreeabe circumstances oc

manly conduct of the captain, he was invited
to take glass of sherry in honor Of the mora
and yalorous police guard.
The officer entered the Consuls house without
a proper warrant, and the Intendente sent q
written apology to the Consul Subsequently
on the 4th of March, after the Consul had har
