TRIAL OF STEVENS THE HARpER's

TRIAL OF STEVENS THE HARPER's
FERRY INsURGENT.-A published note
from Andrew Hunter, Prosecuting At
torney of Jefferson County, Virginia,
to George Sennot of Boston, states that
Aaron Dwight Stevens, the Harper's
Ferry insurrectionist, is to be tried
sometime during the winter-perhaps
during the present month of January
by the Virginia State authorities, at
Charlestown, and not by the United
States authorities as at first proposed.
The regular term of the Jefferson Co.
Court is held in May, but the Legisla-
ture has authorized special session
for this purpose. This change In rela-
tion.to Stevens trial has probably been
made in consequences of the appoint
ment of Senator Mason's Congression-
al Committee, who, it has been intima-
ted, will summon DIR. Howe, Wendell
Phillips and other Northern Abolition
lists before them as witnesses.

The impetuous young gentlemen In
whose behalf the citizens of Richmond
gave such a famous supper, are begin
ming to think that good education
will serve better than patriotism to
bring them patients and fill their peck
cts. A Philadelphia correspondent Of
the New York Tribune says:
1t is solemn fact that the indignant
Virginia doctors are back again-the
very fellows who went off in such a
rage ten days ago! Not all of them
yet; but they are sneaking back IN
squads of two, three, and half dozen
at time, careful to avoid fuss, and
seeking to excuse their childish folly
by saying they only wanted holiday
frolic.

ID O w a GIA G:
Congress-.

The House remains yet unorganized,
the nearest vote to the election OF a
Speaker lacking three of a majority for
Sherman. There appears to be gen.
eral inclination on the part of Republic
can members to adhere to Sherman, as
not Only being as competent but as
commanding as large number of votes
as any other man they can bring for
ward.
It must now be pretty certain to the
Democratic leaders, that they can not
secure an organization of Congress.
They have tried all their strongest men,
and availed themselves of every plaus-
IDLE or possible combination with the
Know-Nothings for success. Their
righteousness is costing the country hun
dreds of thousands of dollars every
week that the useless contest is pro-
longed. Several millions of dollars are
now due mail contractors, and large
portions has been for several months.
They cannot be paid until an appropri-
ton is made. In view of this state OF
things some contractors are refusing to
longer carry the mail, others are threat.
ening to discontinue unless paid.
The country should note where this
responsibility belongs. An election can
not take place without.the adoption Of
the plurality rule, and the Democrats
will not permit this rule to be adopted
As soon as it is suggested from the
Republican side. the Democratic mem
bers make motions to adjourn, which
are always in order, and resort to al
| the various we'll known means of pre-
venting vote, and, of course, delaying
the organization.

m. r..wrence Calamity.

We publish in this issue condensed
account of the late terrible calamity at
Lawrence, Mass, by which from 200
to ESQ human beings were hurried out
of the world. either crushed in the ru-
ms or burnt, without a warning of dam
ger. 1t is horrible to think of. The
reason for the desaster is found in the
frail structure within whose walls were
crowded about eight hundred persons
of all ages, but principally under the
age of thirty years. 1t is lamentable
to contemplate the cause, and to believe
that hundreds of such structures are
now being occupied for factories and
shops all over the country. Incompe-
tent architects and personal parsimony
have introduced style of buildings,
especially in cities, that the strong arm
of legislation-the people acting as a
whole for the security of all, will be
compelled to restrain.
The fall of the Pemberton Mill is not
one of those cases in which it can be
said with any plausibility that nobody
is to blame. They were regarded as of
scandalously slight construction when
they were built; they have now stood
seven years, and those who knew the
defects of their construction at first,
must have wondered how the walls
held together so long. The Earring of
the machinery within that period had
probably shaken the cement to powder,
and the hour at length arrived when
the materials could no longer cohere.
The proprietors, who could scarcely
have failed to know the insecurity OF
the building, have heavy responsible
ity to upport-that of the death OF
more than two-hundred people sudden
ly sent out of the world, and others
mangled, MANNED and bearing life in
pain.

SLAVERY ABOLISHED IN NEBRASKA
The presevering efforts of the Re
publicans in the Nebraska Legislature
have atlast been crowned with success
On Tuesday, the Sd inst, the bill fol
the abolition of slavery in the Terrific
nv was resuscitated in the Council, ant
passed by a majority of one. 1t had
previously passed the House by ma
jority of four. 1t is expected tha
Gov. Black will veto it.
On the same day the bill providing
for Constitutional Convention passed

A Strange Proposition.

At a recent meeting of Shareholders
in Madison. Co., Kentucky the follow
ing resolution, among others, was
adopted:
Third. 1t is resoloved, further, that
the true policy of Kentucky is to bind
together the Domestic tie between
slaves and their owners, and to. this
end they should not only ,sorship the
same god, but at the same affairs, and
that separate negro preachings and ig-
norant negro preachers should be sup
pressed by law.
What does this mean? "Bind to-
gether the domestic tie" between a
man and his chdttles! The owner and
his property" "worshiping the same
COP, and at the same altar :" Is il
really true, that negroes, who accord
ing to the highest Democratic authori-
ty, "have no rights which white men
are bound to respect" are the equals
of those white men" in the sanctuary
and before COP?
What say Northern Democrats OF
these things? viii they now go on,
and strengthen the "Demestio tie
between them and the negroes, and re.
gard them as their equals? Of course
we shall hear no more about "negro
equality" and all that sort of sneers
about Republicans

WILL THE DEMOCRATS KEEP OUT
KANsAs.-The Washington correspon-
dent of the Philadelphia North Anaer;-
can writes to that journal as fallows
I" 1t is now understood in political cir
cles that the Democratic majority in
the Senate will reject the application
of Kansas for admission under the
Wyandotte Constitution. The reason
to be assigned is an objection concern
ing the boundary. The Northern
members of that party in the House
may seek to protect themselves at
home by seeming support, which will
be given with the certainty of this
foreshadow hostility in the other wing
of the Capitol. After their former ex-
perience in Kansas, the Administration
and its followers might be content to
abandon their vindictive resistance to
the recognition of its just rights. II
they are not satisfied with the past re-
suits they are at liberty to repeat the
experiment. The country will not fail
to discover in this scheme determined
purpose to renew agitation for politi-
cal object, since the design is to deny
the Opposition and benefit the vote Of
Kansas in the Presidential election.
Let us give them the rope which they
seem SO anxious to have.

Gated, in Augusta He has arrived in
New York, and the Tribune contains
long and interesting account of his
experience, and outrages inflicted upon
him, at the South, even before his ar
rest. He was induced to visit the
South, where he teok contract. which
was broken by the other party. He sued
for damages, and after one-lawyer af-
ter another had thrown up the case, he
took charge of it himself, and finally
obtained judgment, after several
months delay. And he could get no
officer to serve the writ of attach
ment, and was finally cheated out of
the whole amont. Hepositively denies
that he was intoxicated, or had ever
uttered an anti-slavery sentiment, says
that the rumor was set afoat by one of
the men against whom he had the exc
cution, for the purpose of avoiding

WORDS OF CHEER FROM THE SOUTH.
Amid the cry of Disunion which is
continually heard from Southern mem
bers, the following sentiments from
Hon. Joshua Hill, of Georgia, are truly
refreshing:
Il will never, so help me God, con-
sent to destroy the structure under
which we live, merely because man
with Objectionable political principles
should be elected to the Presidency"

sW Eight persons, many of them
old residents of the place, were arres-
ted at Jackson, Mich, on Saturday
charged with making and circulating
counterfeit coin. A large quantity OF
bogus money, with tools, presses, dies,
&C., were found in their possession.
They were undoubtedly large opera
tors and belonged to an extensive
gang.

readers to the article on our fourth page
from the Detroit Aduertiser, entitled
Interesting to the People of Michi-
gam" The statistics there given and
the contrast drawn between our own
and other States, are facts worthy of
serious consideration by the citizens of
this State. Michigan, in point of eli
mate, natural resources and productive
ness of soil is not behind any portion
of the Union. It's farmers and mer-
chants thrive, but its mechanics and
manufacturers are few and far between,
and drive rather profitless trade. We
have no large towns, because we have
no towns where manufat lures are
largely carried on. People do not con-
gregate together merely for the purpose
of making a large town. There must
be something for them to do-a Scalp
