great capacity; that but few men in the

Oh, Flo!

In the House of Representatives, on
the 10th inst, Mr.. PARIS resolution,
which provides that "the Constitution be
so amended as to prevent persons ho"'ng
a yisiblc and distinct admjrture Of Africon
Mood, from poting, HOLDING OFFICE,
OR SITTING ON JURlES," was laid
on the table by a vote of yeas 4S to 40
nays--the Repubiicdns voting in favor of
laying the resolution on the table, and
the Democrats against laying it on the
table. An amendment from select Com
mittee, which provides the mode of sub
hitting this question to the people, at
the October election irf 1860, was voted
down, also by a party vote. DO you
want additional evidence that it is the
design of leading Republicans to raise
colored men to political equality with
white men?-- CAHicothe AdOertiSer.

The Black String Order.

The County of Ashtabula was settled
originally by descendants of New Eng
land. 1t is the strongest Black Republi-
can county in tho State. From these
facts we should naturally expect to find
the strongest sympathzers of John Brown
and the most determined oppositian to the
Government of the Union. An extensive
military association has been formed in
that county, the members of which make
themselves known by wearing black
string around their necks; from which
they have derieved the name of the
BLACK String Order" They are sworn
to resist the arrest of Fugitive Slaves, and
also the arrest of any moro of tho John
Brown conspirators. Under this arrange
ment all those of this band of despera-
does and murderers whQ have not been
already tried and hung have moved into
that county. We expect Ashtabula will
give an increased Republican voto next

Ey- Mrs. Beach, the wealthy and hand
some Bridgeport widow who married
George w. Francis, "a dark complicated
gentleman, gave to her friends as one
reason for her condHct that she had re-
ceived communications from her deceased
husband in the spirit land advising her to
marry Francls, and stating that since he
left this vale of tears he had been conju-
gallv united to the spirit of colored
damsel. The marriage ceremoney was
performed in the evening, when Mrs.
Beach was so much disguised by "friz-
zIing" her hair, DC. that the Clergyman
did not suspect she was white American
woman. Francis once gained some no.

day, which is too good to be lost, Mr.
A. called on farmer and asked him the
price of Oats, and was informed that they
were worth thrtyfve cents bushel. He
agreed to pay 40 cents on condition that
he should be permitted to "tramp" them
in the half bushel, and the next day took
his wagon and went after them. The
farmer filled the half bushel, after which
Mr.. A. got in and gave them a most vlg'
orous 'tramping," contracting their pro-
portions considerably. The farmer there
npon emptied the oats into bag without
filling the measure. Mr.. A. raved, but it
was no use. The farmer had complied
with his part of the agreement, and, as
an evidence, told Mr., "A. after he had

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

scr, (Bell and Everett,) in an able and impair

gives its final opinion
"On the whole, then, our examination of the

and that according to Democratic usuage it is

TERRIBLE eToRM IN NEBRAsKA-
DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY.

4t
The heavy storm which visited us on last
Thursday night, was much more sever some
mile south Of Us than in tits immediate yicini-
ty. The rain fell cepionsly here, and the
STORM ragged herccly, accompanied by vivid
flashes oflghtning and terrific peals of thunder,
but no damage of any consequence was done
by the wind.
A valuable horse, belonging to w. L. Nc
Lehman, Esq, was killed by lightning, on the
bottom below the city. On FourlMile Greek,
some three or four miles south of town, we
FIRST hear Of the effects of the storm.
The dwelling of Mr.. Jacob Newman, near
the Creek, was partially demolishedEthe roof
being blown off; and a number of logs thrown
down. Some members of the family were
sleeping in the upper story, and made their
escape with difficulty. Alady, asister OF Mrs.
Newman, we believe, was rescued while cling
ing to the logs on the outside of the building.
The bedstead, bedding, and other contents OF
the upper story, were blown away. The fam
lily finally took shelter in a shed, and escaped
without injury. Mr.. Nevman's fences, &C.,
were much injured
The roof of a house belonging to the widow
Frazer, was blown of. The building was I'M
occupied. Mr.. F.. Pratt's house in the same
neirhborhood was partially demolished-the
roof taken eff by the wind, and part of the logs
blown down. On Mr.. Joseph E.. Foote's farm
considerable injury was done to the fences and
by the blowing down and scattering OF the
wheat stacks.
South of Mr.. Foote'S, a frame house, belong
ing to Denis Bristol, was blown down. Elisha
Foote, Jr., suffered considerably in the des-
~truction of Fences, &c. A frame house OF
Thomas Thomas (unoccupied) was blow down.
In the same neighborhood, the chimney of
Mr.. George L.. Dodson's dwelling was blown
down, the windows demolished, and other in
juries done. The inmates escaped unhurt--
Mr.. Stitler's well house, and several out houses,
fences and grain stacks we're blow down and
scattered by the storm. East of Stitler's, a
frame house belonging to Mr.. Newell, was de-
molished. On Rock Greek, Missouri, Josiah
Aliens family, when the storm was raging,
attempted to leave the house, but found the
doors and windows fast, from the warping of
the building, and were unable to get out until
part of it fell, when they escaped to a "caye"
in safety. Mr.. James Gilbert and family fed
from their house and lay down in a corn field,
exposed to a drenching storm. The house
was partially blown down.
We hear of damage similar to the above in
stances, in numerous other cases, but have not
learned particulars.
The storm also extended into Nemaha coun-
ty. Everywhere in its course houses were I'M
rooted, fences blown quite down, grain stacks
scattered, and other injury done, but fortu-
nately no lives lost.

No. The late eclipse having been nearly
total at Algiers, caused great terror among the
natives. On the top of their terraces they
made a noise with pestles and mortars, or
lighted in their rooms the small wax candles
of which they purchased a supply at the time
of the fete of the Mouloud (birthday of Mo-
hammed) They called to mind with alarm
that, according tradition, Algiers is to be de-
stroyed under similar circumstance by the sea
rising to the hight of Sid Ben Nour, which
crowns one of the SUBMITS of the Bouzarea;
and that future n~avigators, when sailing past,
win point under their vessels and exclaim,

Df The Interpretation generally put up
on Lord Palmerston's late speech upon the
necessity of additional defences in England
AGAINST French invasion, is that there is no
other way than through an Englishman's fears
TO make him willingly add to his present bur-
den of taxation nine million pounds sterling to
make places in the army for young gentlemen
not Otherwise provided for. That startling
menace of NapoIeon-six hundred thousand
fohting men-is a capital pretext for opening
unwilling purse strings and inducing England
10 cripple herself for actual war, by loading
herself with taxes in time Of peace.

THE REASON WRITE reason why, says
the Marion Mirror the Republicans are so
abusive of Douglas, although affecting to be-
Ieye that he "is a perfect used up man, is
because they are afraid he will carry almost
every Northern State. Republicans in Ohio
abuse him because they know he will carry
Ohio, and Republicans in this county malign
him because with Douglas they know the
county is irretrievably lost to them.
