How the South Can Win.

The vote in the Committee on ResO-
~lutions Of the Charleston Convention Ill
favor Of the Southern Platform, says the
Delta, is a pretty fair indication of the
comparative strength of the two sec
tons of the Union, in a contest Of
States. 1t serves as 4 good Illustration
of the probable results which VT have
already Swallowed forth in these col
umns, of trusting to the contingencies
of an election for President in the Ma
tional House of Representatives, rather
than to the popular vote, in the present
condition of parties. Thus, our duty
may be reconciled with our interest and
sound policy, SO far as these are inyolv-
cd in a Presidential triumph.
The Committee on Resolutions. in
which each State had a single vote, re-
ported tine Southern resolutions by 4
vote of seventeen and sixteen. Could
We not in a Ike vote of States in the
House of Representatives elect our Pre-
sidcnt by a constitutional majority :?
Have we not a better chanccof securing
the Presidency in this manner than by
a vote Of the people of the States? Let
the delegations in the present Congress
be scanned, and we think every impair
tial mind will admit that, as between a
Black Republican, a Squatter SOver-
eighty candidate and a Southern candi-
date. the last would have the best pros
poets of securing a majority vote. With
fifteen certain slave States, the access
sion of Oregon and California would be
only necessary to give the Soulful e pre-
ponderancc. Let there be three candi-
dates, a nominee of the Charleston
Rump. a candidate of the Constitution
al party, supported BIS The whole South,
and a Black Republican; and provided
each gets the vote of one or more States
less rlan a majority, the election must
go into the House, and if the Constitu-
tionalists can not win there they have
little hope Of ever triumphing in the
Presidential contest. The chief appre-
heusion would grow out Of the desper-
ate state of the Rump candidate. There
would be reason to fear that he might
not carry a single State, and thus would
be ruled off the track. But we assume
that either by its own efforts, or by the
aid of the friends of the South, this par
ty would secure electoral votes sufficient
to entitic it's candidate to be counted
in when the choice is devolved upon
the House of Representatives. IT. that
event it is quite obvious that in IT, pre-
sent constitution of the House the
South would have the game III her own
hands. We fervently hope, therefore,
that there will be no concession on the
part of the South at Charleston, and
that the true Democracy will stand
ready in solid ranks to support the can
didatc of the South, despite the timorous
counsels of placemen and time-servers.

Dn11orous Aeabmg,
A FUNNY SPEECH.

The Wisconsin Legislature have, formally
considered proposition to abolish all laws
for~the collection of debts. The mover Of
the bill-Mr. Elmore-is great wag, as is
evidenced by the following extract from his
speech upon that subject:
The speaker proceeded to review the pres
ent system of collecting debts. 1t was all
humbug and cheat, a matter of techui-
calities and legal shutting. Lawyers gave
advice, in order to obtain fee and encour-
age litigation. Judges made blunders and
mistakes. Hehad little experience in law,
and that was rich. Laughter He would
give history of it. The speaker then re.
lated how he had purchaseda yoke of oxen
about fifteen years ago-paid fifty dollars
for them-a few days after, the son of
the man of whom he bought the oxen came
to him, and said the oxen were his. He
insisted on having pay over again, and
commenced suit before justice The
jury didn't agree. Finally, through the
blunders of the Bushwood justice of the
peace, the case went against him. He ap-
pealed to the circuit court in Milwaukee,
sThere,' said he, Il lost again and said to
my lawyer: I will give you ten dollars
to quote Pennsylvania law to Judge Miller
and havea new trial ordered. [Great laugh
teri He took the ten dollars and perform
edthe duty.
, Anew trial was then granted, and venue
changed to Walworth County. Judge IT,
win was then the Judge. Any man who
wanted to gain cause in his Court had
either to 60 hunting with him and let the
:. Judge claim all the game that was shot, or
! else pat his dog Well, I patted the dog.
(Laugbter) l fed the dog with crackers.
(Renewed laughter) The case was deci-
ded in my favor. When heard the deci-
sion / thought to myself the dog had fol-
lowed me about long enough turned
around, and gave him kick Daughter }
The yeip of the dog had hardly subsided
ere heard the Judge say, 'Mr Clerk, this
judgment is set aside, and new trial
granted" (Great laughter } Mr. Speaker,
that kick cost me 5000. (Convulsive laugh
ter.) You have no doubt seen a suit in a
Justices Court in the country. There is
time spent by jurors and hangers on, be-
sides other costs, at least $50, besides the
i'll feelings aud dsisensions caused by it.
1t is all cheat The litigants had bet.
ter sit down and play game of old sledge
to decide the case. 1t would be more sure
to settle the disputes justly

In eight hours breathing, full-grown

three bushel sacks could! If we were
shut up in a room seven feet broad, seven

his own breath, in very few hours; in
twenty-four hours he would have spoiled

LION SToRY.-Prince, tame lion on
board ship, had keeper, to whom he
was much attached; the keeper got drunk
one day, and, as the captain never forgave
the crime, the keeper was ordered to be
flogged; the grating was rugged on the
main deck, opposite Princes den, a. large
barrel.up place, the pillars very strong,
and cased with iron. When the keeper
began to strip, Prince rose gloomily from
his couch, and got as near to his friends as
possible on beholding his bare back, he
walked hastily round the den, and when he
saw the boatswain inAict the first lash, his
eyes sparkled with fire, and his sides re-
sounded with the strong and quick beating
of his tail ; at last, when the blood began
to flow from the unfortunate mans back,
and the c!otted seats" jerked their CORY
knots close to the lions den, his fury be-
came tremendous he roared with voice
of thunder, shook the strong bars of his
prison as if they had been osiers, and, find
ing his efforts to break loose unavailing, he
rolled and shrieked in a manner the most
terrific thatit is possible to conceive. The
captain, fearing he mig gbt break loose, or
dered his men to load and present at Prince
this threat redoubled his rage, and at last
the captain desired the keeper to be cast
off, and to 60 into his friend. 1t is impos-
sible to describe the Joy evinced by the lion ;
he licked with care the mangled and bleed
ing back of the cruelty treated seamen, ca
ressed him with his paws, which he folded
around the keeper, as if to defy any one
renewinga similar treatment; and it was
only after several hours that Prince would
allow the keeper to quit his protection and
return among these who had so ill-used
him.
