WISE AND WARD.-The american Eagle,
of Madison county, Va, hoists the following
ticket:
For Vice President-.John %. Ward. IF Ceor.

The ticket is sufficiently Southern, both
being taken from the slave States. The
only instance in our political history where
the President and Vice President were both
from the South was in 1928, when ANDREW

Identity OF Republicanism and John
BrOWnism,

We have had frequent occasion to refer,
to the identity Of Black Republanism with
John Brownism as exhibited at Harper's
Ferry. 1t was the natural result of the
teachings of such irrepressible conflict /"
orators as SEWARD and LINCOLN. In
Massachusetts at the recent Republican
State Convention to elect delegates to the
National Convention at Chicago, Mr.. JOHN
A. ANDREW, of Boston, an intense and I'M
equivocal partizan of SEWARD, was chosen
to head he.list of delegates, receiving 769
votes out of TIA votes composing the Con.
vention. Mr.. ANDREW holds a prominent
position among the Abolitionists of Boston
and helps, occasionally, to keep the con.
science of Senator WILSON. This JOHN A.
ANDREW, now Black Republican delegates
to. Chicago, on Sunday evening, November
Goth, 1859, presided at meeting in Ire
mont Temple, Boston, in aid of the family
Of JOHN Brown" and in his opening speech
said:
81 pause not now to consider, because it
is wholly outside of the duty or the thought
of this assembly to night, whether the enter
prise of John Brown and his associates in
Virginia. was wise or foolish, right or
wrong. I only know that, whether the
enterprise itself was one or the other, John
Brown himself is right. (Applause.) I
sympathize with the man, I sympathize with
the idea, because I sympathize with and
believe in the eternal right. Those who are
dependent upon him and bis sons, and his
associates in the battle at Harper's Ferry,
haze right to call upon US, who have pro-
fessed to believe, or who have in any man
ner or measure taught, the doctrines of the
rights of man as applied to the colored
slaves of the South, to stand By them in
their bereavement, whether those husbands,
and fathers, and brothers, were right or
wrong"

Not from any desire OF our own to indulge
in horrors, but to satisfy the Unsuitable pub
lie, we lay before our readers this week,
the full particulars of the execution of Mrs.
ANNE BnANsKY, for the murder Of her hus.
band, STAN1sLAUs BrLANsKY, together with
history OF the case, and such particulars
in relation to the unfortunate woman as our
Reporter was able to obtain. Although
there is no law on our statute books reauir.
ing executions to be private. the opponents
of capital punishment in the last Legislature
having obstinately resisted the passage of
such law, yet Sheriff TULL1s very wisely
assumed the responsibility of rendering the
execution as private as the means at his COM
mand permitted. We are glad to know that
the conduct of the curious assembled to wit
ness the execution, was marked by an unex>
pected appreciation of the solemnity of the
scene. The most disgusting feature connec>
ted with it, was the eagerness and persistency
with which females sought to obtain eligible
places to view the dying agonies of one of
their own sex.
A great deal of sympathy was expended
upon the unfortunate woman during the
last few remaining days of her life,-but
Notwithstanding the strenuous efforts made,
no facts were elected which justified the
Governor in committing the punishment.
All who examined the evidence in the case
critically, united in the opinion that Mrs.
B1LANsKY was guilty of the murder of her
husband. If so, by human and divine law,
she merited her fate The sympathy in her
favor, had its origin, in most cases, in opposi.
ton to capital punishment, and to the execu-
ton of woman. These reasons had no
weight with the Governor, nor should they
have, so long as the laws remain upon the
statute books providing therefor, and which
it is his sworn duty to execute.
The execution of Friday was the second
one which has taken place in the State, un-
der the sanction of the civil law. In Janu-
airy, 1855, an Indian named U-HA-zY, was
executed, in the presence of brawling mob
OF drunken men and dissolute women, on the
prairie, near the old Catholic Cemetary, on
the st. Anthony road. The scenes of yes
terday, occurring as they did in the midst of
population quintupled since 1855, indicate
decided improvement for the better in
public morals.

Sensible.

The consolidated, RACED and repudiated
organ of the Blacks, is just now engaged in
the interesting labor of showing that with a
Republican majority of eighty members in
the Legislature, it was the fault of the
thirty Democratic members that the Rail
road question was not satisfactorily arranged
the bonds taken care of and the roads
constructed. It is hard work, but the sup
ply of falsehood on hand, justiies the at
tempt. 1t is rather singular too, that the
articles condemning the Legislature for
doing nothing on the Railroad question, but
repudiating the bonds, are written by Mr..
BANN1Na's editor. Them hams" have
changed hands evidently.

WoRsH1PPERs OF GOD VS.. NEGRO WoR-
sH1PPERs.-An attempt was recently made
by certain fanatics in Geneva, New York
to give up the Methodist Episcopal Church
in that place to an Abolition pow VOW
A portion Of the congregation, who felt that
the church was not built for negro worship
but for that of God, interposed, and pro-
cured an injunction forbidding the trustees
to desecrate the building by such an abuse
whereat the negro worshippers fred with
indignation, and Immediately severed their
connection with the church.

CALIFORNIA SILVER MINEs.-The Cali
fornia mails bring us the astounding news of
the richness of the Washoe silver mines.
Potosi sinks into insignifcance compared
with the almost fabulous richness of West
ern Utah. The recent assays in San Fran
cisco exhibit the extraordinary yield of thir-
teen thousand dollars of silver and gold to
the ton, and it is estimated that the yield OF
the veins already opened will amount to ten
million dollars for the ensuing year, and no
possible conjecture can cover future devel-
opments. Thirty thousand Californians are
patiently awaiting the disappearance of the
snow to precipitate themselves upon this
new country.

The PRINCE OF WALEs.-It is now def.
nitely understood that his Royal Highness
the Prince of Wales, the heir to the throne
of Great Britain, will visit the loyal sub.
iects in the Canadian Provinces in the first
week in June. Great preparations are
making for his reception. The precedents
for his visit are found in the advent of
Prince WILLIAM HENRY-a afterwards King
WILLIAM the Fourth-some Is years ago,
in company with Captain, afterwards Lord
Nelson, and of the Duke Of Kent, father of
Queen VIcroa1A. The ostensible object Of
England's future ruler is to of6ciate in
placing the last stone of the Victoria
Bridge over the st. Lawrence at Montreal.
He will probably visit some portions of our
territory, and be honized extensively.

Population of the United States.

The population of the United States can
be estimated with some exactness, in adj
vance of the census, from its natural multi
plication and its regular increase by immi
grafton. If this increase in the past ten
years has been only as rapid as in the ten
years previous, our population must now be
81 ,510,802 /; and if it has been in the same
proportion as that from 1890 to 1900, we
have population of 3l,l78,99S. If this
increase shall 60 on as it has done since
1870, our population in 1870 will be A.
9l5,468; in 1880, 56,349,OS3; in 1890
75,852,09O; in 1900, lOl 1888, 397; and in
1859, 447,l59,670.
1t Is interesting to compare the growth
IN population of the different parts of the
Union. In 1870, the Mississippi valley had
2O5.28O inhabitants; while there were
3,7O8,1l6 on the Atlantic, and l6.43l on
the Gulf of Mexico. There was not sin.
gle pioneer west of The. Mississippi. In 1850,
there were ll7,271 inhabitants on our Pa
cifc coast; 8,641,754 in the Mississippi
valley; l2,729,759 in the eastern States;
and l,7O2,992 in the States east and west of
the Mississippi bordering on the Gulf. In
1880, 372 per cent. of the population of
the Union were in the Mississippi valley,
54.8 in the eastern States, and 7.3 in the
south. Thus is the political power of the
country centering in the Mississippi valley.
The foreign immigration in the last ten
years has been more than 100000. We
have now white population of about g.
100000. The slaves number less than
100000. The free negroes, numbering
about 100000, are found alike in free and
slave States. Their increase is not rapid,
but it is uniform throughout the South. In
1850, there were 265,OOO of them in the
South, and 10000 in the North.
The States which have increased the most
in population from 1910 to 1850, are Wis
consin, Iowa, Arkansas, Michigan, and Hi
nois. Those that have progressed the least
in that time are Vermont, New Hampshire,
South Carolina, North Carolina, and Vir>
GINA. Of these, Vermont is the slowest,
and North Carolina the quickest in in
crease.
The greatest increase OF population, there
fore, is seen in the central States, especially
in the Northwest and Southwest, which are
consequently, to that extent, appropriating
the decreasing political power of the east

SENATOR GREEN OF MIssOURI.-IsAAC
N. MORRIS, Democratic Member of Con-
gress from Illinois, has lately written let
ter upon political topics, from which we
make the following extract:
"When Col. HcClernand was being voted for,
Senators Clay Of Alabama and Green of Mis-.
souri,, entered the Hall of the House, and went
to button-holeing Southern members, to pre-.
vent their supporting him. Mr.. Green was par
ticularly furious in his assaults upon popular
sovereignty and the Illinois Democracy, but
was taken down handsomely by some of his
own friends, particularly one who lives in q
state Just beloso Nissosss, and whom he will
have occasion long to remember" ... o.

An Adventure with a Camanche.

A Lieutenant of cavalry, writing to a
lady relative in Washington City, from the
Texan frontier, relates the particulars of a
hazardous adventure with Camanche In
dian few weeks since, which was much
after the character of the old border BOONE
adventures. He says:
Finding their trail l pushed on and fol~
lowed it rapidly all day, until it became too
dark to see any longer, when l encamped
for the night, having been seventeen hours
in the saddle, and ridden about sixty miles.
At daybreak next morning, was again
upon the trail, and about halfpast eleven
A. NJ, saw two Indians driving quickly be-
fore them herd of some twenty odd ami
mails. halted my men where could not
be seen, and ordered them to throw away
any extra weight, then taking fast gallop,
was within three hundred yards of them be-
fore / was seen. Giving the command
"charge," was soon upon them.
One threw himself from his horse, and
ran for some woods close by, but was soon
killed by some of the men; the other mount
ed on fleet horse, pressed him at his top
most speed across the prairie, shouting and
yelling his war-whOop as be ran. Calling
to the men, let "Minne-ha- ha" out, but he
reached an adjoining wood, unharmed by
the bullets that whistled after him.
Having thus lost sight of the Indian, l
was Obliged to follow his horses track,
which led me into a number of hills separ-
ated by deep and crooked ravines, covered
with close growth of cedar. Dismounting
the Indian had concealed his pony in one of
these ravines, and attempted to make his
escape on foot, but l dismounted and fol4
lowed his moccasin track, and finally came
to little precipice, down which l saw his
red blanket, which he had dropped. Clam
bering down that, picked up and examined
bis blanket. was then within six feet of
him, and did not know it. Seeing where by
had jumped down another little descent be
ledge of rocks, l jumped down also, and
in an instant he sprang upon me, leaping
high in the air, and alighting with his
breast upon my head. He had an arrow in
his bow, the sharp point Of which be placed
against my breast, but just as be Shot, l
sprang one side, and the arrow passed
through the sleeve of my coat Graphing
with him, l wrenched the bow out OF his
hands, and, taking my pistol, belabored him
across the head and eyes. Finding, how
ever, that he pressed me so tight that l
could not get chance to cock my revolver,
dropped it, and, Selling him with both
hands near the waist, raised him high above
the ground and tripped him, and fell with
my whole weight upon him; but then was
in a quandary. Here was I on top, holding
down, breast upon breast, live Camanche,
and very slippery one, with nothing to
kill him with Fortunately, just then one
of my men came up and assisted in holding
him until could get my pistol, when soon
sent him to his .happy hunting ground" to

shoemakers' strike-which continues to ex-
tend-the cattle distemper, in some parts Of

the people of beef, at least to add materially
to the cost Of it. "No work-no market

INTERESTING STATEMENT.-In THoMPsoN's
Bank Note Register we find the following {:
" 1t is no easy thing for people having mo-
ney on hand to make up their minds what
to invest in. High rate of interest and per-
feet safety is very pleasant combination !;
but how to be sure of both is a question.
This question we have argued with thous.
ands Of men, and we may say women, too,
whose bumps both of greed and caution,
were well developed. The past few years
have given us very good solution, which,
when put into table form, shows about the
following results:
Those who strove for IL per cent or
Those who strove for 10 per cent. lost
Those who strove for 9 per cent . s-5ths
Those who strove for per cent. 80. Lost
Those who were satisfied with per
cent. Lost little
Those who were satisfied with s per
CENT. saved all.
If any one is curious to prove this
table by any test within their circle of &C.
quaintances, they will please go back to in
vestments made in 1e48 and 1856, inclusive.
This much is certain, those who have ad.
hered to the strongest securities are now
Observation-Disclosures better off, than those
who adhered to high rates of interest on the
outlay"

The Defalcation i'm Maine.

The special committee appointed by the
Maine Legislature to examine the accounts
of the defaulting Treasurer PECK have Just
made their report, which exhibits degree
of moral turpitude and shameless corrup-
ton that is rarely ever brought to light,
duplicating chiefly the Treasurer NEAL
Dow, who has been his principal bondsman
ever since he came into office; and Con-
gresham DANIEL E. SoMEs,-all shining
lights in the Republican party. Parson
PECK made lengthy confession to the COM
mittee, which is embodied in the report. A
few extracts will speak for themselves:
l stand before this committee, and before the
people of the State, charged with misappro.
priating the public funds, which l, as Treasurer
the charge to be true.
have been accustomed, from my first con-
nection with the treasury, to loan the States
money, in large and small sums, to some of nv
bondsmen and to others, who, from. time to
time, solicited aid from that quarter. Some of
these parties have paid, and some have not
sometimes, when have wanted my pay, they
have Endorsed my notes, upon which l have
raised the money on my own and their credit
at the banks. | had not got warm in my seat
as Treasurer of State before l was urgently
lmportuned by. some of my bondsmen and
Others to loan the money of the State.
And so on with much that is similar.
PECK is very severe upon NEAL Dow, who,
as bis principal bondsman, was also the
principal borrower Of the public funds, and
then refused to pay on one pretext and
another. At the end of the fiscal year 1858,
his accounts were behind $4,000, which
amount the Treasurer had to make good by
discounts at the banks so that his books
would appear right when his annual settle
ment was made. In 1859 Dow borrowed
Sll,5OO of the public money, which he
refused to pay and has not paid in full to
this day.
