A REAL RELIsHER OF A JoKE.-A
man lately received twenty lashes, well
laid on at the whipping post, in an En-
glish town. The culprit, instead of
believing when the constable applied
the lash, laughed immoderately, which
made the angry officer lay on with
harder force. On giving him the
twentieth blow, the angry officer could
stand it no longer. "Well here mis-
ter" said the offended officer, GIVE

more, but I'd jest like to know what it
is that's so funny ?" Funny ~ reared

This is little less than the total popula-
ton of the State of Illinois at the present
time. The increase in the five States named
during the last ten years, would probably
give total whit, population n,w of about
2,Ooo, 900, which is about 10000 less than
the present population of Ohio. The total
colored population of those States, which
certainly aids nothing to their strength
should they em5roil themselves in war, was,
by the Census of 1850, l,+J8, 698-5eing
nearly equal to the total white population.
The State of South Carolina, in which the
secession spirit appears to be most rampant,
hal white population, in 1850, of 274, 500,
and colored population Of 3S4,9S4. Her
present white population is about double that
of Cook county, Illinois, and about equal to
that of Hamilton county, Ohio, or of Kings
county, New York.

The change consists in the removal Of the

EICysqTs.

The multitude of conjcctures which have
been made in regard to the new Cabinet, are
unauthorized by anything that Mr.. Lincoln
his sail in public or private. We are adj
vised that he has not decided who his Con-
stitutional advisers shall be. We take it,
however, that the wiSe-acres who labor I'M
der the d.lusion that Lincoln is Douglas, and
that his advisers must be those whom Doug
las would have called to his all, will be dis
appointed when the names of the Secretaries
are announced. The point of difficulty in
selecting, is TO find men in the South upon
whom the honor of a Secretaryship may be
safely conferred, and who are at the same
time of sufficient consideration at home to
give character and strength to the new Adj
mini stration in tie slave States. We do not
doubt that the difficulty will be surmcunted.
The to-be formed Union party of tn, South
will afford abun liant material out of which
Secretaries and all the minor officers may be
made.
!. 1t is al unfortunate commentary upon the
scccdcrS' course, the flct that anonymous
and threatening letters, a dressed to Mr..
Lincoln, are Thought to be nacess ary to sup
port it. Of these he is daily in receipt Of
perhaps dozen. each atrocious Death i,
the least of the ills with which he is threat
ened. Death, preceded by the torture, and
1
followed by the pains of fire and birthstone,
is the least with which he can be excused
These excite only contempt in him to whom
they are addressed. Though coming from
hundred different parts Of the South, they
agree in one thing that there is an organ
lied band or brotherhood, every member of
which takes an oath to compass the Presi-
! dents death. The letters are evidence of
nothing except the hate and impotent malice
ofthose who write them but their assertion
that a new order has sprungup in the South,
unfortunately has conf nation from other
sources more reputable AMI crclitablc. Men
WHO know Abraham Lincoln would not spend
their time in inditing such stuff But it is
tolerable compared with what mssivcs Of
another sort contain. These latter, in the
text and pen-ani-ink sketches, seem to be
sent to Illustrate som, propensity for the
amagamation Of the recess with which 1t is
thought by the South that Honest Old Abe
is afflicted. They are numerous and dis
gusting-Press &c Tribune.

Gus. Democracy is cleaned out and dried
up throughout that entire region. Potta.
wattame and Harrison are wheeling into the
Republican line Mills and Fremont increase
their Republican majorities; Page gives Cur.
tbs $50 majority, and Amity township in that
county gives Curtis "a plumper'-9l votes
and mary one" for Cole. Ringgold is the
brightest gem in the Republican diadem,
giving l67 majority for Curtis while Taylor
doubles her majority Of last year.

Black Republicans No Longer.

a series Of resolutions were proposed in the
Legislature Of South Carolina the other day 3,
in which the Black Republican," were de-
nounced in the usual set terms. A member
thercupon arose and moved that the word
Black be struck out, and assigned as a
reason the fact that it would strengthen the
impression already entertained by the slaves
that black man had been elected President
hy the people Of the Nor.h. Under the ap-
prche:sion that the term Black Republican
would excite instruction among their slaves,
the amendment was carried unanimously,
and The word "black" was struck out of the
resolutions.

cease to call us Black Republicans, or they
will b. SUBJECT t, the censure Of the South,
