frightened, withdrew the bottle from the
counter, and then with curses drove Leslie
from his bar-room, threatening, at the same
time,s to .horseWhip him if he ever set a loot
over his threshold again
.'Poor, drunkard !'' unused the stranger,

course. But for you, unhappy wretches,
after they have robbed you of your world
ly goods. and even manhood itself, are pro-
vided, prisons and pauper homes and for
your children''-a dark shadow swept over
the strangers face, and a shudder went
through his frame. 'sCan it be a Christian
country in which I live, and such things
darken the very sun at noon day,%' he ad-

and rode swiftly onward. -
From the Albany Evening Journal, Jan. o.
Labor Lost.
Seven weeks ago the Democrats in the
House, finding themselves in minority,
undertook to FORCE the majority to submit
to their dietation by bullying. .... sfsa
| + They began with irrelevant resolutions
| and disorderly debate, about Helpers Book
and Harper's Ferry, charging the Repubf-
cans with completely With every crime from
treason to. petty larceny. To sustain the
charges, language was garbled, records
were falsi6ed, and facts prevented. But all
in vain. I ne yute stood-5herman IU5 to
Bocock' s 81.
Is Then they resorted to personal abuse.
This Black Republican was not, fit to occu.
Ply the Speakers chair. That Black Re-
publican was not fit to have seat in the
Hall. Such and such Black Republican
ought to be expelled, ought to be arrested,
ought to be sent to the Penitentiary, ought
to be tarred and feathered, ought to be hung.
The House echoed with foulmouthed bill
lingsgate, threats of the bowie-knife and re-
volYer, vile epithets and gesticulations of Vi
olence, such as would disgrace the lowest
grogshop. But it was Of no use. The
"Black Republicans" were not scared. The
vote continued TO stand-Sherman 1O5 to
Bocock's 85. vb.ees, .g.,; se.,,.. Il. ..
Next the disunion game was tried. The

Would dissolve the Union if the Republi-
cans did not withdraw their candidates.
They would dissolve the Union if Repub-
lican President was elected. They would
dissolve the Union if Sherman was elected
They would quit the Capitol. They would
compel the Black Republicans to quit the
Capftola They would seize the Capitol and
hold it against everybody, The Capitol
should be burnt to ashes. The Capitol
should be RACED to dust. The Black Re
publicans should be tried and hung without
trial. They would have a Southern Con-
vention; a Southern Z Confederacy, South
ern Republic, a, Southern Empire. Meet
ings must be held at the South to dissolve
the Union, Meetings must be held at the
North to preserve the Union. They would
abondon the North. They would subjugate
the North. ur They would rend the Union
asunder at the very next proyocation at all.
Waste of words / The obstinate figures
could not be terrified into any other shape
than Sherman los to Bocock S 83.
Then they tried dickeriug and bargain
ing, caioling votes by promises of places en-
Committees appointments under the Speak
er, offices under the Clerk. They tried to
bribes the Southern Opposition and to bully
the Northern Anti Lecompton men, They
