ty, Ohio, addressed the body. Not being
present at the beginning OF the exercise,
did not hear the lecturer S announcement of
his subject. 1t was however similar to that
of Mr.. Coles addreSs-the Importance vi
eultivating the moral faculties OF youth,
with many hints and suggestions as to the
manner of efecting that object. The dis
course was profound and scholar-iikc. The
Doctor is Southeruer by birth, and largo
portion of his pastoral life has been spent in
the South. His elocutioa is of the type
most popular in that regior--animated and
vehement, rising at times, frequently too,
to- beisterOusness, and alternating again
with passages pronounced in emphatic whis-
per, inaudible, Of course, to the majority of
the audience. This writer desires not to be
hypercritical, and those who know his ex-
traordinary amiableness of disposition know
that it is painful to him to find fault But
why should public speaker indulge hab-
it that to great extent, illustrates his own
object 1t is to be presumed he wishes US
to understand whe he has to say also
that we desire so to understand him This
Object is certainly best effected by a style of
speech not too widely different from that to
which the ear becomes habituated hy the
mon intercourse of life. When there
fore aNspeaker "tears passion to tatters"
and splits our ears one moment by a vocal
explosion, and strains them the next by
solemn but inaudible whisper, though the
show may be very grand, II is too much like
the Scotchman's definition of metaphysics
" Metaphysics is when the one that hears
dinna ken what the one that's speaking saws.
and the one thatsspeaking dinna ken either"
The First Presbyterian church of this city

semblance to the esteemed pastor of your

EDITOR JoURsAL The Christmas hol-
days still linger with US, and Ihe social prin-
ciple still continues in lively exercise It is
well, certainly, once a year, to consecrate
few days, and those in the inclement season,
to the interchange Of hospitalties and 9TH
er amenities, and to compel the tyrant Bust
ness to relax his control, at least partially,
that We may not altogether forget that life
has some other claims upon US beside the
getting of money, and that Toll is aot our
sole duty. This pleasant lesson our COM
munity seems to have learned tolerably
perfect. Christmas proper was a day of
uproarious hiarity, and made more so on
the streets by few inches Of snow, and
tolerable sleighing. Bells iingled merrily,
and numerous elegant turn-outs, never seen
before, appeared as suddenly on Washing
ton street as the martins come in spring, and
have now disappeared as obviously. This
sort of enjoyment was worry agreeable to
look upon. and doubtless more so 10 par
ticipate in. The participation, however, in
the course of the forenoon, became abso-
lutely dangerous in the central part of the
city, from ttIeshamcfui conduct of numerous
gangs Of boys who amused themselves By
throwing snow-ballS at every sleigh and its
occupants. One spirited team was with
difficulty restrained from running away, and
then at length the police seized dozen or
so of these hopeful youth, several of them
sons of wealthy but respectable citizens. and
took them hafOrR tho Mayor He
gave them a wholesome admonition. and
released them without further penalty
Possibly this was erring on the side of lem
ity, though it is to be hoped the advice of
Solomon was needed, when the matter
came up before the domestic tribunal. The
arrests had the effect of restraining further
exhibitions of that species of rowdyIsm, but
it cannot be denied that the youth of our city
are increasing fast in rudeness, disobedience
and crime. The fact is sorrowfuI one,
but it ought not to be concealed.
The State Teachers Association COM
menced their annual session yesterday. and
viii sit till tomorrow evening. E. P. Cole.
Esq, President formerly of your city, last
evening delivered the usual annual address.
His subject was the moral responsibility OF
the teachers Office. The style of the adj
dress, like the authors conversation, was
taStidiously accurate and precise his treat
ment of the subject was faulty in being too
general and indefinite, and the effect of the
discourse was lnarred by tame aud monot-
onouS delivery which led several respecta-
BILE pedagogues to express the hope that the
President did not teach reading bv example

ness of the Association, and in the evening

A SOUTHERN CospEDEnAcY rx Ecaopr.-

A SOUTHERN CoSPEDERACY N ECRopE.-
The London Times says
Can any sane man believe that England
and France will consent, as now suggested,
to stultify the policy of half century for
the sake of an extended cotton trade, and
to purchase the favor of Charleston and
Milledgeville by recognizing what has
been called '' the isotbermal Law, which i'm
pels African labor towards the tropics on
the other side of the Atlantic? OF one
thing the Democrats may be we'll assured.
that the character aud prestige of the sev-
eral United States in the eyes of Europe
depend on their federal union. Let there
be no mistake as to English public opinion
on this subject. If we have paid sincere
homage to the rising greatness of America,
It has not bse= thAt-.vkieh tho SoatBarn-
ers are so anxious to conserve, but to that
which they are striving to destroy. All
that is noble and venerable in the United
States is associated with its Federal Consti-
tuition. 1t is not the demonstrations of
Southern rufianism in Congress, or the Fu-
gitive Slave Law, or the Dred Scott decis-
ion, or the kansas-Nebrask act-it is not
these, or any other triumph of democratic
inso lence during their ascendancy Of half q
century, that has commanded the sympathy
ani admiration of Europe. We have judg-
ed these things leniently, as the actions of
great men and great nations ought to be
judged, because we knew the perilous con-
ditions under which so mighty an enterprise
as the civilization Of America must of ne
cessity be carried out, and have had conf
dence in the practical good sense of the
American character.

INELIGIBLE OFFIcSBs.-The Supreme Court
has decided that where an officer whose time
Of public service in any given period is linn
tied by the new constitution, but who hap
pened to be elected under the old constitu-
ton, is governed by the provisions of the
new organic law. Four contested cases ap-
pealed to this Court, wherein the con-
testants claimed that the coutestees were
ineligible from the fact of the new constitu-
ton limiting their terms of service, are de-
cided in favor of the contestants. The con-
testees claimed that they were elected to
their first terms under the old constitution
and that the new instrument did not affect
their eligibility SO far as the terms follow
ing their first elections were concerned
The Court held otherwise, and decided that
any officer, whether first elected under the
old or new constitution, IS subject to the
provisions of the new. This makes the last
elections of clerks in Ohio and Knox coun-
ties void, as each of the successful candi-
dates for that Office were elected once under
the old constitution and twice under thS
new-the new constitution prohibiting the
same person from holding the Office for more
than two terms consecutively, or for more
than eight years in a period of twelve years.
