the Presidency, and are now merely seek

FOUR Southern States. They are anxious
to Save seed, and as all else is lost, to save a
few States for their friends and adherents.
They see plainly enough now the folly OF
their attempt to build up party on sim
gle idea, and that not now practical issue,
they being the judges. The original plan
contemplated uniting the Southern Oppo'
stion with the Seceders, but the true
Constitutional Union men of the South
could not be forced into any such game

double-construction projection platforms
and Squatter candidates on them, led and

news from Arkansas, founded on the cal

Bell gets nine votes, Breckenridge will get
four, and Douglas three, so that for every
nine thousand votes given to Bell, seven
thousand only will be given to both Breck

for Bell by good judges on the ground.

The question TIL the evidence itself is presented is
not unreasonable.
The prevailing taste for historical research gives
ms frequent new and curious gmpses of men, quite at
variance with their traditional character. Thus the
sanity Archbishop Leighton appears, through some
letters to bis father lately exbumed in the State Paper
Office, in the light Of frolicsome schooboy writing TO
apologize for the preparation of squib on an uupop-
ular provost named Oakenhead, distinguished by
rubicund and tendency to deprive the boys of
their accustomed sports. The lines are so neat as TO
deserve preservation:

The Statute Law Commission has been in existence
in England from 1895 to 1853, at an expense of $780,
600, and yet it is stated ON the highest authority
that the bills for consolidating the law are badly
drawn to be quite ndefensible and uni ,telligble
The bill "Lbels" it is said for instance must have
been prepared by some young gentleman whose no.
tons of the criminal law were confused that nobody
could make head tail of his work. The difficulty of
telling plain tale on legal subject seems common
to all countries.
