The Grent principIe coIlnpsed.

The great Douglas idea is that no political
doctrine is sound which can not be freely
declared in every section of the country.
The Charleston Mercury, the leading conserv-
ative and Union-saying paper of the South,
joins issue with him on this, and declares:
"His voice will not be tolerated in this
State-even though 1t be a free country. IL
is more than the wholesome condition of his
skin is worth. He would be kicked from
every stump in the State"
Now, what's to be done? Here, Just as we
are going into action, our principle is
knocked from under us. Mr.. Douglas has
got to go down South and perform his prin-
Ciple there, to the entire satisfaction of a
South Carolina audience, or we shall have
no principle to fight on; and if we go into
the Presidential battle without any princi-
pie, we shall be mere pirates and outlaws,
not entitled to the usages of war. There is
not time for Mr.. Douglas to do this before
election, and, as the case stands, it is against
him. South Carolina delies him to plant his
principle there, and proposes to kick him if
he attempts it; and it must be admitted that
the contiguity of his coat-tails with the
ground offers peculiar facilities for that mode
of disposing of great principle. This
comes Of setting uD a great political princi-
pie that any bully can kick over.

II cmurkable Relic.

The New Orleans police recently descended
on negro assembly in the midst of re-
ligious ceremony. Naked negro women
were performing dance around cauldron
of water in which was great serpent. The
incarnation was for the delivery of some
colored person from prison. The interfer-
ence of the police destroyed the charm.
Shocking as this snakish performance is,
it furnishes a connecting link in the trace of
the descent of the negro race from Ham.
The prominent part ascribed to the serpent
in original theology, in fixing the fate of
mankind, by the seduction of Eve, and in
its use by Moses as a sacred emblem for heal
ing the Israelites, is still retained by these
disnherited children of the patriarchs. 1t
is affecting TO see that, although outca2ts
from their brethren on account of the bare
faced sin of their ancestor, in all their de-
graduation, they still retain vestiges of the
divine dealings with the first created man.

A Lenr EsIinInfn nfEnxn.

Ex. Governor Morehead, in his speech in this
city, said he wished the love for the Consti-
tuition was as strong in Ohio as in Kentucky;
but was sorry to say it was not.
Because we are not always exalting our
love for the Constitution, the Governor
thinks Kentucky loves it more. So, he
might as reasonably say, because every Ken
lucky orator begins by announcing himself
as from the noble, gallant, chivalrous, gen.
erous and hospitabe State of Kentucky,
therefore, Ohio, where this mutual admira-
tion is not the taste of the people. is inferior
to Kentucky in these qualities.
We, in Ohio, know no alternative but the
Constitution. Professions of loving the
UDion much, but the gallant, noble, chival-
rous, generous and hospitable State more,
do not 90 down on this side of the Ohio
River. An orator would be laughed at who
went into any such comparison. The State,
as separate from the Federal Government, is
never thought Of We are born into the
Union and Constitution, and it would be
just as absurd here for politicians to talk of
revising the Confederation, and of setting up
Ohio as debating terms to it, as it would for
children to talk about revising their birth
and choosing another parentage. Profess
sions Of love for the Constitution and Union
would be ridiculous in Ohio, for we do not
know Of any other feeling.

Missouri HoRRoRs-DemoniacaL Murder of
a Mistress byd SLdUe- WomaH- The Neqress
Hanged By a Mob.-One of the most brutal
murders ever committed, says the st. Louis
RePubHcGn, was upon the person ofMss Susan
Jemimn Barnes, of Galloway County, Mo,
on the 9th ult. The whole family. consist
ing of the mother and brother OF the de-
ceased, being absent, the negro girl, a hired
servant, it is supposed became enraged at
the young lady, and it is thought that she
attempted in the first place to cut the young
lady.s throat and did sever the skin UPON
the throat, and made large cut on the fore
head, severed the upper lip, and lacerated the
hands andarms in several places. She then
took the tire-tongs and completely smashed
IN all the hinder-part and the left side of the
head, discolated the teeth of the upper Jaw,
and scattered the blood and brains all over
the house. She then changed her clothing,
secreted the bloody dress in the field and
then resumed her work.
AS soon as the facts were discovered the
girl was arrested, an inquest held, and
a verdict rendered of guilty. When
the dress was discovered she admitted the
facts, begged to be punished and forgiven,
The officers started with her to the Fulton
jail, but when they had proceeded about two
miles, the incensed community wrested her
from the officers and hung her to the first
tree until she was dead.

DISTRESSING CALAMITY AT SEA-Heveu
LiUeS LoSt-Tgo Men DeUo1red bv Sharks
and ItDo Perish from E1hausfon.-A Glou-
cester (Mass.) correspondent informs Bos-
ton journal Of the particulars of the loss
mentioned by telegraph, of one of the mack
erel- catchers which left the Bay of st. Law
renee last month with a full fare. When
just outside of Cape Canso, during tine night,
in thick fog, she was run down by a
steamer, carrying away her bowsprit
and foremast, and staving in her bows.
W hat damage the steamer sustained is not
known, as she passed on without Offering
any assistance to the schooner. The wind
blowing fresh from the northward, they
found it impossible to reach the Nova Scotia
shore, and after drifting about for two days,
headed for the Western Islands, but had
proceeded but twenty-four hours when she
became water-logged and unmanageable.
Seven of the crew were washed overheard
by the sea, and the remaining nine took to
the boat. They were in the boat two days,
when it capsized, and before they could get
her righted two men were. devoured by
sharks. By this misfortune they lost all
their provisions, water and oars. In this
condition they foated about for four DAYS,
during which time two men died from ex-
haustion. One of the bodies was thrown
overheard and the other was kept to satisfy
the hunger which was consuming them, but
just ns they were ebont to partake Of this
Eorrid meal, a sail hove in sight, which
rapidly neared and rescued them more dead
than alive.

Mount Yernonitiea.

The Gazette, which slashes right and left
into the clergy, in the most irrevereut man
ner, pitches into the ministers of the Pres
byterian Synod of Virginia, for singing the
tune of God SdUe the King, before the tomb
ofWashington, in a recent visit which they
made to Nj Vernon. They sung other
words to the tune; aggravating the offense,
it seems to US. An American national an
them, ts a British national tunel Musically,
it puts us back to a colonial position. Very
exasperating to the spirit of Washington, if
it was around This however, is not the
most heinous part to the Gazette. We quote;
"The blunder, as we would fam believe it
TO be, of the reverend gentlemen, results
from appropriating foreign national melodies,
and giving them currency under false
names"
They have gone and passed false notes on
the Father Of His Couniryl This is too bad
And ministers, tool And what is worse,
ministers Of Virginia, where faith is sus-
tanned by the works OF the patriarchal nsti-
tuition
But the GazeHe never forgets charity, even
in its indignation. 1t ''would fain believe"
it "a blunder" That is, it might be worse.
They might have done it to experiment on
the illusirious F0ter, 10 see if British ma
tional song would stir him up. This would
be a heartess joke, unbecoming a Presby-
terian Synod. Like the Gazette, we would
lain believe il was not this.
But the Gazette seems to be watching Mt.
Vernon. A week or two ago it criticized
the performance of the Miserere by the Ma
rine Band, before the tomb, when the Prince
visited it. This is prayer for the departing
or departed souls. What could be more ap-
propriate. Certainly, the spirit of the de-
parted Pdter has had an unquiet time so far.
1t has been constantly dragged about the
country, to collect funds to commemorate
him. and between begging and biographies
has had a sorry time. If the Wiserere would
only touch the heart of his country, which
he fathered at the sacrifice of his repose in
the tomb, and would make it pity the sor-
rows of poor old man, and leave him to
rest in peace, it would be good enough for
another National Anthem
But inasmuch as the worship of the dead
is our national religion, to which we invite
foreign visitors, to show them our devotion
some ritual ought to be established, that it
may be conducted in decency and order, and
in the proper form of sound words and ap-
propriate genufexions, and thus avoid Civ
ing occasion for scandal to such scofing
journals as the Gazette.

spiritunI Destiturion in Now York.


The Rev Charles Goss Secretary of the
New York Evangelical Alliance, gives a
statement Of the extent of the provision for
the spiritual wants of that city, in substance
as follows: There are in the twenty-five
wards of New York population of 843, TAI;
the number of places of public worship is
274, holding 2O5 $50 persons, and leaving
C3S, l6l unprovided for; that is to say about
one human being in three in the city of New
York, according to present arrangements, is
able to come within hearing of the preachers
of religion. But when we take from the 274
places of worship seventy that are counted
un- Evangelical, the insufliciency of Evangel-
ical teaching to supply the spiritual wants of
the American Babylon seems still more lam
entable; while if we should count-as seems
perfectly proper-the seventy, upon the
other side, and Offset it against an equal
number ofthe Evangelical, the results would
be heart-rending indeed. The account would
then stand thus:
Evaneecal power equal POI
uh eNdngeLcai 20
1874
Leaving the equivalent of the power of 1874
churches TO battle against the enemy, and
supplying the desirable food to about one
person in six of the entire population.

MIR. Brcckinridge's Position Under "A Cloud.
The Courier Of this city denounces as a
"rascally roorback," the published letter of
Mr. Breckinridge in which he was supposed
TO write;
II esteem Mr.. Yancey highly, and have
known him long and fayorably. Mr..
Breekinridge is not Mr.. Yancey.
II love the Union but the South better. If
elected the Union under my care, shall
never be disseminated
Mr.. Breckinridge, also, has disclaimed the
letter. This puts the thing in a shape that
demands explanation. Now, the unavoid-
able inquiry is, does not Mr.. Breckenridge
esteem Mr.. Yancey highly" Has he not
'known him long and favorably2p ~ Is or is
not, "Mr. Breckinridge not Mr. Yancey?"
Does Mr.. Breckinridge 'love the Union?"
Does he not Glove the South better2" Shall
'the Union under his care ever be dissem-
mated ?'
We pause for reply; but can not wait
long, for the election is close at hand. Much
depends on the way Mr.. Breckiuridge
answers these questions The most glorious,
strong, stable, permanent eternal, durable
and lasting fabric of government on which
the sun ever shone Gf it were not all the
while on the point of being upset., is trem-
bling in the balance. The glorious and tri-
umpbant experiment of self-government of
the most intelligent people on the earth,
hangs by a single hair. An extra brandy
smash in Wigfall or Keitt may smash the
Union. The answer of Mr. Breckenridge
may precipitate things generally.
Now, if he answers these questions in the
affirmative-and the Union will collapse un-
less he does-why did he come out from the
sacrcd silence which he imposed on himself
to pronounce a letter, attributiug to him the
same sentiments, a forgcry2 And why does
his organ here declare letter containing
bis real sentiments, rascally roorback2
Again, We pause for reply. This time pos
itively, and without reserve.

The Great Billiard Tournament in New
NOrk-COncluding Game Between Kava-
nnEh and Tieman. .....

NOrk-COncludiBE Game Between Kaya-
nREh and Tieman. .....r... ..
Thursdays New York Times observes
Yesterday Lynch's rooms, in Union
square, were crowded to suffocation with all
the most noted professional billiard-players
and amateurs of this and neighborng cities
besides many from other parts of the couu-
try. An alteration in the programme SUBJ
stituted a game of 1000 points-four-ball
carom game-instead of one of 500 points
and, in consequence the first game between
Messrs. Lynch and Geary was not played.
The result Of the game was entirely unan-
ticipated.
AT the conclusion of the sixteenth innings,
Tieman was ahead of Kavanagh by 239
points A succession of bad breaks-the
balls being left in such position at the close
of several of Kavanagh's iunings as to pre-
vent Teman from counting, lost Tieman the
victory by 254 points. Several most bril-
liant shots were made by both players who
were aboutequal in their abilityto "nurse''-
keep together the balls, to enable them to
make several long "runs;" but the advantage
was evidently on Kavanaghs side, in being
able to count on combination shots round
the table. Kavanagh in the early part of
the game, had TO play on several bad breaks,
while Tieman had the good fortune on his
side, which, in the latter part of the game,
changed to the side of Kavanagh. Great ap-
plause was literally bestowed upon both
players, and, although the two splendid runs
of Kavanagh, toward the close of the game,
secured him the victory, Tieman's defeat
does not detract from his well-earned repu-
taiion as first-class billiard-player.
The following gives the runs: Tieman, 0,

Genius Nor Confined 10 Fnct,

Eloquence is a Southern gift; and it is
natural that Southern orators should rely
more on this natural gift than on argument
ative statements which cost labor and study.
and are better suited to the lower range of
methodical and plodding minds. Governor
Morehead, in his speech in this city, re-
peated the statement of Mr.. Yancey, that the
African slave-trade was kept open till 1908,
as a concession to the claims of Massachu-
setts ship-owners; when Madison, in his de-
bates of the Federal Convention, shows that
it was procured by the disunion threats of
South Carolina and Georgia, against the sem
timents of all the other States, unless il might
be North Carolina, which was almost indif-
ferent in the matter. That won't do here,
Governor. 1t had better be told to ultra
marines; so had that story that all the New
England negroes were sold to the South.
