ANALcANArIoN ~ CLEVELAND. ONO
The people of Cleveland are just now some
what excited over case OF amalga nation
which occurred there last week A colored
man, attaced to Dan Rice's circus, won the
affections of a white girl named Emily Fuller,
and, obtaining a certificate in the usual way +,
married her. The girl, after the marriage.
returned 10 her fathers house, and her dusky
lord. believing that her parents prevented
her joining him, sued out writ of habeas
corpus in one OF the Cleveland courts. but il
appearing on an investigation OF the case,
that she was not restrained in any way OF her
liberty. the writ was dismissed. This over,
her father obtained warrant for the arrest
of the justice who performed the marriage,
under an act passed last winter by the Ohio
Legislature, entitled ian act to prevent the
amalgamation of the white and colored races "
This act, besides making il unlawful for any
possessing n visible admixture of African
blood 10 intermarry with any person of pure
white blood. makes any person convicted OF
solemnizng such marriage liable to fine
of not more than one hundred dollars, or i'm
prisonment for term not to exceed three
months at the discretion of the court Tie
case is still snder advisement

How to Make an American FLAG.

Notwithstanding the number of flags
in use, few persons know how to make
an American flag properly. The rules
are as follows: The flag should be one
half longer han wide, viz If six feet
wide, nine long, if eight feet wide, II
feet long. The standard, however, is
six feet six inches long, and four feet
four inches wide. But when the flag is
to be elevated on a very high pole, it is
usual to make it twice as long as it is
wide. The stripes should be alternately
red and white, the top and bottom being
red. The field should be blue, and extend
over seven stripes, commencing at the
top, four red and three white. The stars
.signifyipg the number of States, should
be white, arranged on the blue field in
the shape of a fve-pointed star. We
have seen many flags of late, with thir,
stars. which is not correct, as by
the Act of Congress the additional star
for each new state, is not added to tie
flag until the 4th of July succeeding the
admission of a new State. Subsequent
to the Revolution there was an addition
Stripe added for each new state and
the Stars were arranged in ~concentric
but in 1918, by &C. of Congress,
the number of stripes were reduced to
the original thirteen /; and it was also pro-
that the Stars should be arranged
in the form of a five pointed Star.

The Responsibilities Of the Gov.
eminent.

The London News, discusses this SUBJ
ject, and says:
He would be a bold man who should
undertake to advise the Government of
the United States in this conjuncture.-
The difficulties in the path of that Gov
eminent, which the commencement of
hostilities have made apparent; the per-
splexities which every person who had
studied theAmer1can question in a friend
ly spirit foresaw, are a commentary on
the reproaches which have been so igno-
grantly addressed to Mr.. Lincoln by a
certain school of writers in this country
for the last SIX weeks. In their eager
ness TO make political capital out of the
~misfoutunes of America, and to depre-
sciate the forms of government under
which its people have obtained a comb
nation Of liberty and order not to be
.equalled anywhere on the earth except
In the British Empire, some among US
have spoken of these troubles as if they
were such as a Government depending
less on the people might have h~onorably
and safely averted.
But, in truth, nothing can be more idle
than TO impute this lamatable secession
to any defect in the organization Of the

gaverrment. No form of government
has vet been invented which could secure
the country against treason, and by trea-
son this secession was accomplished. Inc
armaments Of the forts, the location OF
officers, the composition of garrisons, the
accumulation of war material, were all
provided for in the ministerial depart
ment at Washington, under the late Pres
ident, with a view TO secession, by men
who are now ayowed leaders Of the
Southern movement. Mr.. Lincoln's cab
met was compelled to sacrifice Its first
four weeks in the work Of replacing the
treacherous placememen appointed by
the late Government. A task which has
generously been described here as "the
dividing of spoils." Had Mr.. Buchanan
done his duty, or had he only left his
