CHICAGO. June 4.

a meeting the various committees,
State. municipal aud others, held this
morning. committee was appointed to
present the family of Judge Douglas the
unanimous wishes of the people OF Illinois
that his remains should be permitted to
remain in the State for interment. Col.
Richardson. as organ of this committee,
performed the delicate duty Of commune
eating to the family the wishes of the
committee. and at general meeting Hon.
j. d. Cation reported the result, that an
affecting interview had take place between
Col. Richardson and Mrs. Douglas, the
result of which was that in due apprecia-
tion of the wishes Of the people of Illinois,
the remains of the illustrious dead should
be inferred in this State. The widow
has yielded with pain, not with reluc-
tapcc. 1t was her desire that his rem aims
should be inferred at Cottage Grove, near
the Lake shore. where she could be per-
mitted to reside in the immediate vicinity.
No more appropriate place could be se-
lected. There is already a monument
there erected by himself Of enduring hon.
or, in the magnificent institution of learn
ing founded by his liberslity. The re-
port was accepted. and meeting was i'm
mediately held to make necessary arrange
ments for the funeral. which will probal.
ly take place on Friday.

Is IT LEGAL 1--WE believe it has been
decided that the State officers and Senat-
ors hold their offices two years after the
admission of Kansas. Notwithstanding
this, there will have to be almost an en-.
tire set of new Senators elected. The
constitution provides
No member of Congress or officer oI
the United States shall be eligible to Q
seat in the Legislature. If any person
after his election to the Legislature bt
elected to Congress or elected or appoint.
ed to any office under the United States
his acceptance thereof shall vacate hi.
seat.
This will throw nearly every Republic
can Senator out, for they have been ap
pointed to Federal Offices. A number o
Senators and Representatives have beer
taking part in the business of the Legis
lature. after accepting their appointments
which, it will be seen, is in violation o
the above section.

are plain and full, with dictionary oI

TELL IT ALL.-A certain secession ed
itor, who dispenses the fruits of his "dry-
gripes" through the columns of Mis-
souri, paper, is in the habit, whenever he
sets out to preach treason to the people,
of commencing by reciting pathetically
how he came among them poor young
man, SO many years ago. and all that
sort of stuff; but he always manages to
leave out the most interesting part Of the
story. Fearing it may have slipped his
memory. we will supply the omission
When next he gets on that strain, let him
tell the people, that before he came among
them. he resided in another part of Mis-.
souri,, and left pretty steep board bill
behind him, for his landlord to remem.
Der him by. Then let him picture, q
few days after the arrival of the poor
young man. the sudden apparition ol
said landlord, in hot chase after him, to
obtain his just dues how he dogged the
poor young man about for several weeks,
when, perhaps having in his mind the
old proverb, "Sue beggar and catch q
louse." he reluctantly left; and let him
tell that, as we sit down to write, in this
year of our Lord one thousand eight hun
dred and sixty-one, it is the opinion oI
the public that the landlord is minus the
money to this day!

A BRISK LRADER.-There is . certain
"home paper" (meaning that the editor
keeps his papers pretty much all at home
published in Missouri, the editor Of
which essays to be the leader of public
opinion, and who has worn the few ideas
at his command threadbare in his appeals
to the people to take up arms and 6ght
Liucoln's troops. who are bent upon sub
|jugating the sons of the South. To read
his stuff, one unacquainted with the rep
tile would be led to believe that he feeds
altogether upon powder and lead, and
turns up and pops over a Union man
wherever be meets him. A little remin-
iscence will serve to illustrate what "get
up" there is in him:
During the Mexican War, a detach-
ment was sent out on the plains. to erect
military posts, but without much pros
pect Of fighting. This man (for the oc-
casion, we will call him Corporal Dry
gripes") obtained position in the COM
pany. in which he knew he would have
little work and big pay. OF evenings,
when encamped in the vicinity Of Fort
Leavenworth. the Captain would order
his men to take their horses ont and lariai
them. that they might Craze and rest,
while the men kept watch. Upon one
occasion, the Captain CHANGED to look
toward the grazing party, when singu.
lar spectacle arrested his vision. One ol
the horses was grazing and resting. with
great "lummix" of man upon his
back. A closer look revealed the fact
that said "lupmix" was none other than
Corporal Drygripes. The truth is. he
was too lazy to dismount. and had beer
in the habit of sitting and nodding or
the poor, jaded animals back while il
grazed. Calling 2 squad of men to him
and pointing to the horsemun, the Cap
tain ordered them to bring that fellow
into camp and put him under guard. y
They obeyed, and presently came into
camp, leading the horse with old "Slee
py" on his back and Corporal Dry
gripes was placed under guard for chron

and followed Col. Kelly's commmand.
The 14th Ohio regiment. under the com

On Monday the rebels evacuated Graf

only foes are the armed traitors, and show
mercy even to them when they are in
your power.
When. under your protection, the loyal
men OF Western Virgins have been ensbl-
ed to organize and arm. they can protect
themselves, and you can then return to
your homes with the proud satisfaction
Of having preserved gallant people from

A SEcEss1osIsr HlvED.-We have
heard good yarn on = benighted seces-
sionist living somewhere in the Missouri
Bottom. When all Pukedom was in
terror of Harney. it was reported that the
General was on his way to North West
Missouri, to compel the secessionists to
take the oath of allegiance to the Gov
ernment, and to fight for the Stars and
Stripes. Our secessionist and his old
woman were almosa frightened into con-
niptious: but. thanks to female ingenui-
ty, she devised plan to save him. She
would hide him in the woods So she
conducted him BY tortuous route among
saplings and urderbrush, until they chan,
ced to come across a hollow log. This
was the very thing. She commanded
him to crawl in, then securely filled the
hollow by wedging in chunks and brush,
to the imminent danger of smothering hel
old man. This done, she left him, will
light heart. Returning home, she re-
mained until the next morning, when
learning that the rumors about Harney
were false, she set forth to liberate hel
man. But alas she had neglected to
note the landmarks, and could not 6nd
the spot. The chinkihg was wedged in
too tightly for the old fellow to push il
ont. and he was in a position rendering
impossible sufficient use of his lungs te
attract attention. The old woman hunt
ed and hunted, but in vain. Now, wors'
frightened than ever, she raised the neigh
bors. who Joined in the search. Finally
toward nightfall. they found the place
and hauled the old chap out, pretty near
ly used up for want of food, drink ant
air. He thinks he will not hide from
Harney any more!
