To-day we publish another batch Of revolu-
tonary documents, which are of the most terrible
import. And the terror with which they
are invested is enhanced by the melancholy fact
that the people of the North 10 not realize the
danger which is at hand. They are buying and
selling, and marrying and making merry, as if no
cloud darkenet the horizon, and a if no calamity
were looming up before them. So did the inhabi-
tquts Of the buried cities uf Herculaneum and
Pompci just before their destruction. They id-
died and danced and made merry and pursued
their ordinary av0catiJn- without thought Of the
future, when suddenly they were overwhelmed
from the crater Of Eesuvius with red hot cinders
and scoria and lava, and have only been disinter-
ted from fiery grave after the lapse Of centuries.
W e the brink of a social and political vol
cau0, ana We are luled into perfect security not
withstaudin- The rumbling sounds beneath and
the smoke above that always proceed from fire
The explosion may take place nt any moment,
and yet we are apparently as Unconcerned as II 1t
were q thousand years ahead
Unc0accrned may, utterly unconscious.
Capitalists are investing their precious piles
i'm the stocks of the about~to-be be-explOded
United States Of America, ten millions in a
day. and half "a million bonus for the privil-
eye while the South, as madly bent On her
reciprocal vocation Of borrowing, is here in
OF all-actually selling them Capital, the
most timid and sensitive thing in all ami
mate or iuanImate creation, Is lulled into
profound security, and nobody suspects the
final crash upon which we are rushing, but
the shrieking high-priost of the oracle-and
to him they listen, and laugh 1t gives Us
a cold sweat to think Of it.
All this Is both appalling and disgusting
enough IN a moral aspect, but 1t Is good and
legitimate fun, in a c0mm0n-scnse point OF
view. The head rogucs know well the trans
rarcncv OF the farce to all business men, or
they would never dare TO howl note of it
for their very ears-ior they have ears, II
their employees have not. Their present
anxiety to prove to their Southern cores
p0nlcnts their extreme s0undness on the
goose, by their caterwauliuSS and the sound
ness Of the New ork community generally,
by frightening a good many silly voters into
the pen, induces them to raise the racket to
an uncommonly bold pitch-but it Is the
old familiar performance after all, at which
actors and audience are alike laughing unu~
sually-the former ,oi course, in their sleeves.
it is little like the dismal music of fune-
raj The sllcmnitics over, on the day after
election the old bag-pipes will strike up a
i0llior strain than ever, to the regular tune
of natural gl0rifcati0n, and the way the peo-
ple have squelched, tabbcrgasted and utter
" put to route the army OF otlce-h0lders,
fossil politicians, brokers and political crOak-
crs, and are marching on to their ever glorl-
Gus and triumphant destiry,-and any quan-
titv more of the same sort.

ANECDOTES OF TAKING THE CENsUs.-Some
of our census-takers find great difficulty in
successfully prosecuting their labors, and fire.
quently have adventures that IL witnessed
would doubtless prove quite amusing. One of
them, upon entering house few days ago,
in the Fourth Ward, which was occupied by
negroes, heard hustle in the back-room, for
which he could not altogether account. He
made the necessary inquiries, however, and
departed, but had not proceeded far when he
was overtaken by one of the members of the
family, who; with painting breath, informed
him "dat dey had made a mistake and au-
nudder nigger was born since he was dar, I"
and insisted upon having the newcomer
counted.
Some of the colored population of this
ward have conceived the idea that the census
is being taken for the purpose of sending
them South, and selling them rs slaves, in
consequence of a dissolution Of the Union,
Which they deem inevitable. This caused
them TO conceal themselves in large numbers
and it was some time before their minds
could be disabused of the idea.
In another place the census-taker found {
child about three months old, which had nc
name. The mother requested him to namt
it, and he promised to do SO. As he wa'
about to depart the woman, who was inter.
ested in the name of her child, asked hin
what it was, when he replied, "Peorias Sep
tennis" the literal significance of which is
we hope our readers will pardon its inele
gance-The Seven-years' Itch. The mother
expressed Herself as delighted with the cog
nomen, and the hoy will probably be knowr
hereafter by this name. We doubt not. il
peculiarly appropriate, but it will apply a!
much to all children as any particular candi
date for lifetime of woe.

plaintiffs appealed from the action of the
the iror-work of the new Jail TO Handy &
Bro, on the 18th Of May last, and allege that
in so doing their rights were disregarded, as
their bid for the work was $1,000 under that
of Handy a Bro. They ask now that the
contract be set aside, and TIE Commissio ners
be required to make the award according to
law.
On the part of the defense il is urged that
the Court has no jurisdiction in the case.
The case was argued by I. A. 0'Connor
for plaintiff; by E. A. Ferguson for the Com
missioners, and by Judge Caldwell for Handy
& Bro.
The argument has not closed.

HORSE THIEVES HUNa IN KANsAs.-0n
Thursday, at Paris, Kansas Territory, aparty
of nine men, EARNED andequipped as the law
directs" but without legal process, arrested
one Henry Wolfe and son, and Charles Doy
(son of DR.. John Doy) on charge of horse
stealing. They were tried, found guilty, and
the sentence Of death passed upon them. Doy
and young Wolfe succeeded in making their
escape, the latter after being badly wounded.
The sentence was executed on the old man
Wolfe. He was deliberately shot and his
body left on the prairie. ........
On Friday night the same company, en-
larged by additional recruits, learning that
Doy was concealed in a house owned by old
man Wolfe, surrounded it about ten o'clock,
waited until daylight, procured q load of hay,
fired it, and succeeded in dislodging him.
He was tried, condemned, and Immediately
suffered death, 4' tf- .-..aI ONO.

A New NEAPoLITAN DIFFIcULTY.-Napo-
leon, who is supposed to cherish no affection
for the weak and wicked King of Naples, has
Just received an insult and injury, in the city
Of Naples, which the weak Bourbon may find
it difficult, if not, impossible, to atone for, by
even the humblest submission. The anti
reform party, consisting of the Kings per-
sonal followers-ruffians who can not remain
in their native land if new liberal Constitu-
ton be granted-met the French ambassador
on the street, and beat him nearly to death.
This is one Of the greatest wrongs that can
be committed, because, according to the law
of nations, an ambassador directly represents
the person of his sovereign. To all legal
intents and purposes, therefore, Napoleon has
sustained heavy blow through his direct
representative. 1t is not improbable that
Napoleon hitherto assuming neutral posi-
tion in the matter of the Revolution in Sicily,
may now throw the weight of his anger and
arms into the scale against the King of
Naples.

made him pull Off He had large, deep scar
over his seye, and IL was stated that he
received this wound by fall at that time.
He seemed rather belligerent while in the
Courtroom, and his arms had TO be bound,
TO prevent his committing violence, which
he attempted once, before he was removed.
He appeared to be about thirty years of age;
he gave his name as Thomas Beatty, and
stated that he was native of Baltimore, but
had worked in this city as a blacksmith for
over year. He was ordered to be taken to
the Carthage Lunatic Asylum

Elizabeth 0Bannon, was emancipsted by
