MAJESTY OF THE LAw.-Frederick the
Great century ago, wished to enlarge his
possessions and palace. A certain mill obscur.

a fair price for it. He refused to sell it be-
cause it was parental estate. Frederick
then ordered the rfilf torn down which was
done. The Miller stood calmly by sayin &
that ne would abide by the law. He must
obey his sovereign, but the law did not con
pei him to sell till he chose. s4@
He appealed to the courts, and the cousss
decided that Frederick should rebuild the
mill. This he carefully did, thanking God
that he had court not influenced by impe-
rial fear or favor. Twenty years ago the
present owner of the mill became involved in
debt and offered to sell it to Frederick Will

The sovereign refused to buy, but freely gave

Another +" Terrible Plot"

| The Administration he's had another " big
scare" caused BY an anticipated raid or our
Northern frontiers by rebel refugees from
| Canada. Ii had Just settled down into a calm
from the fright it had been thrown into by
| the revelation of the "great washer wo-
| man conspiracy" in Ohio, which was to
oVerturn the government and smash up
things generally, but this last fright fairly
threw its members, Seward, Stanton and com
pany of Of their pins. The Secretary of
War sent off Gen. Dix TO Buffalo in great
haste with men, munitions Of war, put the
United States war vessels on the lakes IN
full trim tor fighting, and ordered ihe lake
cities to prepare for terrible resistance if they
did not wish to be burned down by the auda :
cious invaders. The Administration pa pers
in the meantime howled fast and furiously.
One ofthem fairly beset with tire nightmare
of Vallandigham, bursts forth in this sensa-
tiunar style: .s-y 7.sr .ss .7-5.-s .. ras. ...
SIT was proposed by Davss agents to let
loose in Ohio an army Of rebels, TO ,pillage the
lands and burn the lake cities and their ship
ping. Inc ploL w Us q very pretty one, ana IL
it had succeeded Mr.. VaHandigham's friends
might have done more damage in Ohio than
Gov Seymour's friends did in the State last
July. Halfa dozen rebel privateers on the
great lakes would play havoc with the largest
American merchant fleets now. remaining
a1oat land two thousand rebel officer RS, well
armed, as no doubt they would have been,
and thoroughly drilled and organized, as such
picked men would be, might have destroyed
Buffalo, Cleveland, Sandusky, and ravaged a
large part Of Ohio before they could have
been caught"
All this great scare is not justified by any
disclosures thus far made, although sufficient
time has elapsed to bring out all material
facts. There is no evidence that any vessel
large or SMALL armed or unarmed has been
sfloat anywhere on the lakes OF been in pos
sessonof the rebels in any lake harbor Our
government therefore has been (either inno-
Gently or mallciousIy) hoaxed or rather it
