But the supremacy Of Mr.. Clay as par

The life OF Mr. Clay. SIR. l. striking
example OF the abiding fame which surely

opponents, without loosing the confidence

Town ELECrIoSs.--Eyery now and then we
find partisan journals publishing the results of
town elections as inaices of political sentiment
in the different States. The Albany Jonna!
of Saturday last, for instance, published table

tons, and heads it, in large capitals, Political
Fashions for 1902 These town elections, a.
our readers know from their own experience,
are controlled more by local ties and prejudices
than by political or party feeling. Some pro-
minent citizen has contributed largely TO some
local charity, or has opposed some locally un-
popular measure, and the town-fOlk, irrespec.
tive of their political creeds casttheir votes for
the local fAvorite. Or, some candidate is per-
sonally unpopular on account of his connec.
tons, associates or habits, and the electors,
disregardiDg his political opinions, cast their
ballots against him. These elections, then, are
no more exponents Of political sentiment than
was the passage Of the Hobokcn Railroad bill
in the New jersey Legislature indicative of the
popularity Of the Camden and Amboy monop-
oily, or the recent vote upon the Gridiron bill
in the New York Senate of the popular senti-
ments in regard 10 The granting Of charters for
railroads in this city. These returns are there-

STUMP SrEAKING FOR THE PoPE.-The Holy
Father cannot complain Of his American chill
dren. The clergy and laity of the Roman
Church in the United States have demonstrated
in the strongest manner their reverence and
affection for the Pope, and have given him
all they ca2-the strongest moral support in
his present difficulty with the Emperor
of the French. The Catholic clergy are
engaged in regular crusade against Louis
Napoleon, and the subject is treated with as
much vigor as if it were question between
two clever politicians, instead Of dispute be-
tween the head Of the Church and his unduti-
full eldest son. The bishops wrise long letters,
and the priests exhort their people, from the
altar, to be firm in their allegiance. This has
been the case ia various parts Of the country,
as well as in the metropolis; and at Brooklyn,
yesterday, Father Manahan made regular
stump speech for the Pope. We have a report
Of the reverend gentleman's remarks, but it is
crowded out. If the undertaking Louis Ma
poleon will maintain the temporal sway of the
Church, then the Pope is all right; for the En-
peror has by this time been very thoroughly
cursed all round the world, thanks to steam
and electricity. The old Popes could not have
had the job done in anything like so short time.

A PRESIDENTIAL AsrIRANT MAKING A Coon

ran against Judge Douglas for the Senate. and
got soundly thrashed by the Little Giant, is one
of the aspirants for the Chicago nomination.

Our Illinois philosopher belongs to the school
OF comical politicians. He is not witty like
Touchstone, but he has an odd manner, like
Clod, so people laugh at him, and not with
him-a most important distinction. Like all
the other theatrical stars Of the day, Mr. Lincoln

part Of Parliament becomes an acknowledged
power. That body assumed the right to impris
on whom it pleased, and as there was no ap-
peal from Its dictum the subject was compelled
to acquiesce. Nay, the Parliament goes fur
Their, and claims even to be able to alter the
succession itself; and the only question is, not
whether it is constitutional, but whether they
have the power to carry out their designs.
This gradual growth of power on the part of
Parliament was looked upon with favorable
eyes by the people of England, for they felt
that it was their fight: it was curtailment of
the oppressive anointed rights of the sovereign,
and the scarcely less dangerous and odious
privileges of the nobility.
But the Congress Of the United States is not
only widely different body from the Parlia.
ment of Great Britain having the most limited
powers, and those plainly laid down in the
constitution-but its encroachments are in their
effect precisely the reverse Of those assumed by
Parliament. The Entertainments Of Parlia-
ment, to great extent are letelled, as we have
shown. at the sovereign's prerogative and the
mobiles power. The encroachments of the houses
Of Congress are against the rights of the citi-
zen-a usurpation Of his privileges-and in
direct violation of those limitations in the con-
stitution which guard, as strongly and forci-
bly, as language can, against the exercise by
Congress of judicial functions. The argu-
ment that the right to arrest and imprison is q
right incident to the existence Of legislative
body, as necessary to its protection, is without
force In the face Of the direct powers conferred
on Congress by the constitution, the absence
Of any such powers as are thus claimed, aud
the care which has been taken to provide that
the judiciary shall alone try cases affecting the
life or liberty Of the citizen.
The Senate is to resume the consideration OF
this important question. 1t should be discussed
calmly and diapassionsteiy, - great ooa-
ssitutional point. II Che Senate possesses

From the New York Century.

Upon certain mountain in Wurtembe
there stands castle called Reissenstein. which
belongs now to the "Helfensteiners." 1t lies
upon steep cliffs, tar up among clouds and
storms. Just opposite to this castle and upon
another mountain, on which the Heimenstein
castle stands, is a grotto, and there, ages ago,
lived giant He had great deal of money
and might have lived contented and happy,
if there had only been other giants and giant
esses. 1t occurred to him one day that he
would build him castle, such as the knights
had, and the cliffs opposite seemed to him Just
the place for it. But he himself was bad
workman, he dug out with his nails rocks as
high as houses, and placed them one upon an.
other but they always fell down again, and
never became castle. So he seated himself
on rock, and called down into the valley be-
low tor workmen carpenters, masons, stone
cutters, lock-smiths, must all come and help
him and he would pay them well.
His Cry was heard through all the land of
Swabia, from Rocker to Lake Constance, and
from the Neckar to the Donau, and from every
direction, master-workmen and iourneymen
came to build the giant castle. 1t was droll

How THE BARBER HAD HIS REVENGE
Some merriment has been created by story
now current in Williamsburgh, in which
well known colored barber in Fourth street
and Il druggist near by figure. The druggist
has recently set up soda water fountain.
The barber, who shaves the druggist and pur-
chases his perfumery at his store, being very
thirsty one day this week, thought he would
try his soda water. Mr.. Pestle couldn't tell
him it was all out, for the barber had just seen
him draw a couple of glasses for some white
folks, so he confdentially whispered, THE
fact is, we don't sell soda to colored persons"
Every good" said the knight of the razor,
and retired The next morning, bright and
early, Mr.. Pestle went into the BARRIERS shop,
and, after waiting awhile for his turn, took his
seat in vacant easy chair, expecting to be
shaved as usual. But the gentleman OF color
kept on with his other customers, without
paying any attention to the druggist At
length the latter, seeing that others were be-
ing waited upon in preference to himself,
sprang up in his seat, and demanded the rea-
son why he had not been shaved The bar
Der kept on with his work very deliberately
without deigning to reply, when the druggist
repeated his query more imperatively than
before, whereupon the dusky boy who fathers
the customers stepped up, and handing the
irate dealer in ipecac his shaving cup, ex-
claimed. with grin that showed a white
streak of ivory just under his nose, "Pop says
de fac is, we doesn't shade de doctors no
more" There was loud explosion among
the customers in the shop, which sent the
shamefaced druggist into the street so quick
he didn't know how he got there.
