Towser had horrible howl, and was a
prodigious terror to strangers. The neigh..
bcrs paid no regard to bis loud barking,
and the roll of the Old dogs fiery eyes, for
his bark was worse than his bite, and they
all knew the reason-he hadn't a tooth in
bis head. They knew he Was harmless; but
be was such big dog, and rushed out so
turiousiy upon strangers, that they gave
him credit fer a power and strength that he
did not possess. He barked, and growled,
and spraDg at every living thing, whether on
two legs or four, that Came near his keUnel;
but these who knew him well looked on,
and were convulsed with laughter to see the
CONSERVATION be produced by his savage
howl, anong those who were unacquainted
with hiul. The universally of his spiteful
bark was remarkable though it seemed
louder and n IRE ferocious against particu.
larly welisdressed persons than against any
others.
Old Towser not only barked from morn
ing till night, but frequently passed the
whole night in bowling at the moon, louder

President Lincoln and the Supreme

From the Palace paa Press o. ire Dist,
1t Is the custom Of many CT the cppo.
nents OF Mr. Lincoln 10 say that his course
towards the south has been that of ~ IN.
friendly and partial magistrate th@t he
has neglected tneir just claims to STARE
in the administration Ct the government
that be has been tie enemy and not the
friend Oh the South. Of course an argu
ment like this cannot claim an answer. Its
malice is SO apparent. that its force is de-
stroyed. One suggestion occurs TO US,
however. liz the recent message OF the
President be discusses the necessity OF le-
cognizing the supreme Court, and alIudes
to his failure to appoint successors to JUS
tees Mclean, Daniel anG Campbell, in
these terms:
have so far forborne making nominations
to fill these vacancies for reasons which will

resided within the States now overrun by re.

ed in the same localities, they could pot now
serve upon their circuit, and many OF the
most competent men there probably would
not take the personal hazard of accepting to
serve, even here. upon the Supreme bench. l

Fatal Imitation Of & JUggler

cumsyance: Tuesday night. after be had re-
tired to bed with his grandfather. be COM
p!ained OF being unwei, and after being
questioned, confessed tla. he had swallowed
ten Stones, eight ieaten bullets, and metal
button. Atter the confession the grand
ia;ber got up and informed the boys iazher
OF what had been done, who being some

in his eyes, that tie best be could do Was
to prepare himself for death for if be had

stones were that be swallowed, but one

The reason the Toy gave ior swallowing
the stones was because be wanted to do

doing justice to the south. on the return Of
peace, although | may remark that to transfer
to the North one which has hitherto been in
the South would not, with reference to terri
tory or population, be unjust.
Here we have Republican President, in
the midst of embarrassments and dangers,
engaged in great war, which he South
precipitated upon him, hesitating 10 the
oestowal of three of the most splendid pc
sitions in his gift, simply because he desired
to do justice to those who are doing wrong
to him. This simple ACT oi President Lin
coin is a type OF bis whole course toward
the South, and is 6 fitting answer to the
unfair charges made against lis integrity
and Justice.
President Lincoln would have been per
fectly justified in throwing these appoint
ments into the North. Ii he has shown any
Partially whatever, it has been to the
Southern States. The Supreme Court has
been, to al intents and purposes, the agent
OF the Southern statesmen ; its sympalhies
have been altogether with the South in
constituting our laws it has reyer omitted an
opportunity Of showing its regard for the
institution OF slavery. 1t was the last
stronghold OF the Southern power; ard
since this war came into being it has been
either silent ard sullen or actively engaged
in throwing obstacles in the way of the
Administration. We are in the work OF
national Reorganization we are living in an
age of ideas, in period of progress, and
the necessities of the country demand
reconstruction of our highest judicial tribu-
nal In doinO his mart of This delicate end
responsible duty, the President will act
with wisdom and candor, and there will be
nothing in his conduct to either the North
or the South to show Partially or parti-
sanship.
