Bulletin-a little paper printed at Iuka, Miss,
by printers attached TO a Wisconsin battery.

commenced by the members of the Typograph-

kept up for some time. but we have received
orders to march, and therefore we are compel

kind adieu TO the beautiful village of Iuka.

You PREACH, ILL KEEP EN- Awake
Near Newark, n j., lived very pious family
who had taken an orphan to raise, who, by the
way, was rather unidentified He had i'm
bbed very strict views on religious matters,
however, aud once asked his mother if she didn't
think it was wrong for old farmers to come TO
church to fall asleep, paying no better re-
gard to the service. She replied she did
Accordingly, before going TO church the next
Sunday, he filed his pockets with apples One
bald headed old man, who invariably went to
sleep during the service, particularly attracted
his attention. Seeing him at last nodding,
and giving usual evidence of bis being in the
land of dreams" he hauled off, and took the
astonished sleeper with an apple, square on the
top of his bald pate. The minister and aroused
congregation at once turned around, and indig
nantly gazed at the boy, who merely said to
the preacher as he took another apple in his
hand, with sober, honest expression of coun-
tenance, You preach, and III keep en
awake"

The MONEY When it was
announced that 7. w. Park would be d can.
didate for the United States Senate, it was
simultaneously heralded forth that he had
100000, and more if necessary, which he
would expend to secure his election. Whether
this announcement was made by his authority,
we do not know, but certainly his friends have
often pointed to his money bags as the great
argument iu his favor 1t is stated that his
money did good service at the late primary
election, albeit all of it did not do service in
his behalf Now we have two delegates TO the
Union Nominating Convention crying forward
with positive statement that they had each
been paid the sum of Sl00 by friend of Mr.
Parks for the purpose of inducing them TO
vote for Park candidate for the Legislature.
This last transaction seems TO Indicate pretty
clearly that Mr. Park depends more for success
upon bis money than be does upon his merits
it also shows that he has so little respect for
the intelligence and integrity of the people as
to believe that they will elevate him TO the
Office be seeks, because Of his dollars. Not
long since Mr.. Park was a member of an or
ganizatiOn whose object was to root out those
who made offices objects of barter and sale;
he is now doing that for which he assisted to
banish others. We trust this bribery matter
will be thoroughly inquired into by the Con-
veution, and that those who have resortcd TO
bribery may be rewarded with everlasting
infamy and sure defeat S. F. Journal.

One OF THEIR SyEERISG BoAsrs.-It has

offer you most liberal terms, for you know as
wen as do that if carry out my plan sue
eessiully these per cent. bonds will be worth
~ per cent. premium in few years. Besides,
MI ). Davis, the author of all this trouble,
nas just predicted that the time is at hand
"when we must sink under the immense load
OF deot we have contracted" and / mean to
snow MN that we can carry it and double il
and then carry it with ease The finances must
be so managed that we shall have an annual
charge OF interest, not exceeding S6O 600 O00.
and this is the way to do it.
And thus the case stands, waiting for Con.
gress to decide which offer shall be made to the
money power.
For ourselves, the more we think of il the
less easy seems the way of getting through on
the "make your own terms principle. We
cannot well see where the stopping place in the
down hill road for our bonds is to be and
when Mr.. j. Davis, chief of the 'permanent"
government, now at Richmond, predicts that
we shall fail under our immense load of debt
it is because he can't see it either. On the
other hand, with the "make our own terms"
principle in operation, we see no difficulty in
getting all the money we want, no difficulty in
providing for and paying the interest on it, no
difficulty in furnishing The country with better
business currency than it has had for a genera
tion past, to say the least, and no danger ez3
cept from such an impulse to business as will
produce an "inflation of prices" that will enable
man to sell his real estate, if he wants to, at
something near its value two years ago. Not
that toe think such an initiation would be very
dangerous but there are those who do, and
we candidly confess that, so far as we have
said, we think their predictions will be realized.

since the emancipation movement was carried
into effect. AT Antigua the planters all agree
that emancipation has been an entire success,
and in others of these "isles of the South
the great work has been attended with benefi-

CHIEF JUSTICE TANEY.

That il-starred disquisition of Taney who,
trust, did not intend TO hang out the flag Of dis
union, is the fountain head of this rebellion;
that offense to the conscious memory of the mil
lions convulsed our country with the excite
ment which swept over these of us who vainly
hoped to preserve a strong and sufficient though
narrow isthmus that might stand between the
conflicting floods. No nation can adopt that
Judgment as its rule and live the Judgment
has in it no element OF political vitality | will
not say it as an invocation of the dead past
there never was past that accepted such opn-
ions. If we want the opinions received in the
days when our constitution was framed, we will
not take them second hand from our Chief
Justice we will let the men of that day speak
for themselves. How will our American magis-
trate sink when arraigned, as he will be, before
the tribunal of humanty how terrible will be
the verdict against him, when he is put in com
parison with Washington's political teacher, the
great Montesquieu the enlightened magistrate
of France, in what are esteemed the worst days
of her monarchy. The argument from the diff
ference of race which fancy thruss forward
with passionate confidence, as proof of com
plete disqualification, is brought forward by
Montesquieu as a scathing satire on all the
the brood of despots who were supposed to up
hold slavery as tolerabe in itself. The rights
of MANKIND, that precious word which had no
equivalent in the language of lIindostan, or
Judea or Greece or Rome, or any ante-Chris-
tian tongue, found its supporter in Washington
and Hamilton in Franklin and Livingston; in
Otis, George Mason and Gadsden; in all the
greatest men of our early history. The one
rule from which the makers Of our first conled-
eracy and then of our national constitution
never swerved, is this; to fix no constitutional
disability on any one; whatever might stand
the way of any man from opinion, ancestry,
weakness of mind, inieriority OF Inconvenience
of any kind, was itself not formed into per-
manent disiranchsement. The constitution of
the United States was made under the recognz-
ed influence OF "the eternal rule Of order and
right" SO that as far as its jurisdiction extend
ed i. raised at once the numerous class who
had been chattels into the condition of persons !;
it neither originates nor perpetuates inequality.
