churches Of this city. Arriving at the door,
she Was nshered by the discriminating sexton
into seat beneath the gallery, and against the
wall, where it Was impossible to hear either
scrmo7 or singing without the strictcst atten-
tion. Dissatisfied with the seat, after the sex
ton had left, she changed 1t for one further
forward The oficions lord Of the {a) isles
discovering the change, in 8 voice audible
all over The church, said, "What did 5ou
change your seat for ]? Get out Of this, and sit
where I put you.' The insulted lady very
properly arose and left the church, although q
dozen pewe were offered for her recep-

alone saved the fellow who thus grossly in
suited her from receiving proper rebukc for
his ill-mauners.

The Boone County Bank.

The Journal yesterday exhibited very COM
mendabe spirit of fairness in speaking of the
claim Of j. W. Dodd, late Auditor of State for
moneys expended by him in securing the arrest of
the nest of swindlers engaged in the Boone
County Bank fraud. Mr.. Dodd determined to
ferret the whole transaction out, and he did so:
and secured the arrest of the parties, after spend.
ing time and money. By this prompt and decis-
i've course he prevented the flooding of the State
with worthless bills and the robbing of the people
4 quarter of a million of counterfeit money so
adroitly prepared as to deceive all but experts
would otherwise have been spread broad cast
among the farmers, mechanics and business men
of the State. He left no means untried-no
stone unturned, but labored night and day until
he accomplished his purpose.
He now asks simply of the Legislature that
they repay him for his outlay of money. He
asks nothing for his time and labor Rewards
had to be offered and paid, lawyers had to be re-
tanned and long and expensive journies made to
secure the guilty parties. Mr.. Dodd asks the
Legislature to refund him the money thus er-
pended. and nothing more The people who have
been protected from spurious issue of bills will
say unhesitatingly that he should be reimbursed,
and we believe the Legislature will anticipate
their wishes by providing for the claim.
The question of fees which is before the courts,
as the Journal justly remarks has nothing what
ever to do with this case If the State beats Mr.
Dodd in the suit now pending. the money will be
promptly paid over to the Treasurer of State by
Mr.. Dodd or his securities, who amply able to

A Chapter of History---OrigIn OF Se-
cessiOn.

In 1903, on the purchase Of louisiana the fol-
loving resolution was passed by the Massachusetts
Legislature:
''Resolped, That the annexation OF Louisiana to
the Union, transcends the constitutional power of
the Government Of the United States Ii forms
a new Confederacy, to which the States united by
the former compact not bound to adhere"
The Government is here pronounced compact
between the States, and from it the right of Sc
cession or withdrawal for just cause, results a
necessary logical deduction.
In 1911, on the bill for the admission of Louisi
ana as a State, Josiah Quincy. Sr., said. and af
ter being called to order, committed his remarks
TO writing:
"If this bill pass. it Is my deliberate opinion
that IL is a virtual dissolution of the Unon and
that il will free the States from their moral OBJ
legations, and as it will be the right OF ALL SO it
will be the duty of some definitely to prepare for
a separation. amicably if they can, violently if
they must.
John Quincy Adams, in describing the Federal
Disunonists Of Massachusetts,. says among other
reasons for dissolving on the annexation OF Lou
isiana was the following:
THAT it was oppressive to the interests and
destructive to the influence of the Northern sec
ton of the Confederacy, whose right and duty it
was therefore to secede from the body polite and
TO constitute one of their own"
Secession here appears in propria persona and
by yname.-Medary's Crisis.

until you remove that for which they fight
slavery-SEvER. You may take the forts, and
starve many to death, but so long as you send
back those slaves who flee to your standard for
liberty and put down uprIsings among the slaves,
you will never exercise Governmental authority
over the South.
And then, o, rulers, there is a God in the uni
verse-there is justice! Can you not see this?
You unfurl your banner to the breeze, and say,
''to arms, for lbertyr' and yet you send back to
slavery those who fly to you for liberty What
injusticel what hypocrisy Have we not done
with this thing YETI 1t seems not. The Gov
ernment means to have a fair, man to man fight
to whip the South according to the rules of modern
warfare: to compel allegiance and keep slavery.
You will fail.
Thousands of our people will bite the dust who
would mol if our rulers could see now what they
will six months hence. But they can not see it,
and perhaps it is meet that they should not The
North is terribly guilty in this matter Of slavery,
and we must suffer the penalty-there is no for
giveness. God, the Age, the Nineteenth century
will not let you conquer that people with slavery.
And when we have "paid the uttermost farthing"
for our completely in this great crime, then our
eyes, now holden, will be opened; and when we
come to feel that liberty for the white means lib
erty for the black man, then will victory perch
upon our standard, and not before.

The Reason why the ssIrrepressibIes,,
do not volunteer.

The last Ashtabula, Ohio Sentinel (says the
Ohio Statesman.) contains an article which re-
vesls the reason why the real "irrepressbles, .

free States, have furnished the fuel for the fire.
eating demagogues of the South, and thus kin
dlei the flames of civil in all our country, do
not enter our volunteer army and go forth to de-
fend the Union and the Constitution, and aid IN
the enforcement of the laws. The Administra-
ton has. thus far, left room to doubt as to its
intentions. 1t has shown no desireto make war
on slavery, but, on the contrary, has appreciated,
in the most emphatic manner, The conduct of
BUTLER, SKINNER and Others, in cases where
slave property and slave insurrection were in
volved. Such commendable conduct on the part
Of our "ruIers'' does not satisfy the "irepressi-
bles-" These "hot gospellers'' want this to be a
war of emancipation, waged expressly for the ex-
tnction Of slavery and without can be carried on
for that purpose, they will have nothing to do
with it whatever.
Happily for our character a nation. the men

go forth sustain the Union, protect the Consti-
tuition, and aid in the enforcement Of the laws.
They demand that the constitutional authorities
and the rights of the citizen shall be respected,
and upheld in every State of the Federal Union;
and they have pro-slavery or anti-slavery res
ervation in their action. After law and order are
restored ard peace returns again, the great Union
element in free States will turn round and utterly
demolish and drive from public consideration and
respect the "irrepressible' fanatics, who have
done 90 much to bring our present national
troubles; and the Union men of the South. who
viii in the progress of events rise into the ascen
dency, will deal the same way with the ire-eating
politicians in their section of the Confederacy.
BY this process and the utter reputation ofthese
sgitators, North and South, the Union will be
thoroughly restored, and peace, concord and har-
mony prevail in all portions and sections of our
beloved country. The following is the article
