THE JoKER.-The speech of Hon. Robert
Mallory, member Of Congress from Ken
lucky, made recently in Louisville, is in the
tone of true patriot solcmnly in earnest
for his country. In relating an interview
with the President, in company with other
members of the delegation, when they re-
monstrated against the arrest of the gallant
Col. Wolford, he says: 'Lincoln then want
ed to tell us an anecdote, but l checked
him, and told him with fit contempt that
that was no fit occasion to indulge in anec-
dotes, and the interview ended. And un-
derstand that he, in subsequent interview
with Wolford, said he would like to tell
him joke, but that had told him this was
no time for them, and that he must charge
me with having deprived him of good
one." The intrepid Representative charged
the Executive with violation of the rights
of the people, and this attempt to turn off
this grave charge by a joke was properly
met with fit contempt.

from The Louisville Journal.l

GEORGE WASHINGTON set the precedent
of limiting the Presidential tenure of Office
to the second term, and five of the first
seven chiet magistrates were reelected up
on the expiration of their first term. In
1910, however, the people, believing that
the increasing patronage of the government
rendering it dangerous to allow Presi-
dent to WELD it for the furtherance of his
own ambitious views, determined that the
one-term principle should be adhered to,
and since then no President has been able
to secure a denomination, until the servility
of the last Baltimore convention accorded
it to Mr.. Lincoln. We now witness in its
fullest force the danger to which our re-
publican institutions are exposed by the
unscrupulous use of the immense patronage
of the government to crush out the true
expression of the popular sentiment.
While guerrilla bands are ravaging our
State, the soldiers employed for its protec-
tion are being furloughed to 60 home to
vote, provided they promise to vote for the
Abolition tickets. The workmen who are
employed under wages are led like drove
of cattle to public meetings with orders to
shout for Lincoln under the penalty of dis
charge. In every department of theTublic
service in Kentucky the emissaries of the
Administration are at work to find out the
political prUclivties of those in the civil or
military employ, and if any one will not
pledge his vote for Lincoln, he is marked,
and every effort which ingenuity can devise
will be made to disfranchise him and keep
him from the polls. 1t is time, then, for the
people to consider whether the one-term
principle should not be applied to Mr.. Lin
coin, tor the political history of our coun-
try has never before developed such open
and shameful interference with the elective
franchise as is practiced now, bringing de-
moralization into the army and corruption

The Wool Trade.

At this writing, there is literally no prac-
ticable price upon wool; the market is in
one of those low tide moods when prices
are fictitious and transactions are sus-
pended. The Economist for October 8th
says: The market is still extreme
ly dull and unsettled, or rather depress-
ed, in view of the active demand for
money, the stagnation and depression in
the goods market, and the stoppage Of the
woolen mills for the want of water. 1t ap-
pears that the drought of the present sum-
mer has been the severest of any for nearly
half century, and that all the rains which
have yet fallen have not yet sufliced to
swell the streams in the least. Nothing but
a full week of incessant rain will be likely
to set the mills in motion once more, and
until this occurs we can not expect any
large demand for wool in the entire absence
of speculation. 1t is wool spectators who
want money who are now forcing sales and
anxious to realize at any price, but our
woolen producers are not in a condition to
cumber themselves with stock until they
find a more ready and better sale for the
manufactured fabrics."-OhiO Farmer, Oct

A COnDarisOn.

The New York Tribune declares that thu
Hon. George III. Pendleton, the Democratic
candidate for the Vice Presidency, is full,
committed to the 'lawftIlness of secession
In support of this assertion The Tribune pro-
fesses to quote from some remarks made by
Mr.. Pendleton in the House of Representa-
tives OH the 18th Of January, 1861, as fol
lows:
g If these Southern States cannot be con.
ciliated, and il you gentlemen cannot fine
it in your hearts to grant their demands
if they must leave the family mansion,
would signaliZe their departure by tokens
of love. | would bid them farewell so ten.
derly that they would forever be touched
by the recollection Of it. And if in the
vicissitudes of their separate existence, they
should desire to come together with us
again in one common Government, there
should be no pride to be Inundated, there
should be no wound inflicted from my hand
to be healed. They should come and be
welcome to the place they now occupy"
If this language of regret at the refusal
of the Southern States to be conciliated, and
at the refusal of the Republican party in
Congress tomake such concessions as would
meet their demands, be construed into a
cOmmittal to the rghtfulness of secession,
what does The Tribune think of the follow
lOuuu III lbo ONu
within three days afterward? We quote
from an editorial in The Tribune of Jan, 2l,
1861. signed Horace Greeley:'
"What demand is proof that the South
ern people really desire separation from the
Free States. Whenever assured that such
is their settled wish, shall joyfully co-Ope-
rate with them to secure the end they ask"
Whatever else may be said against Mr..
Greeley, nobody can accuse him of not
keeping his faith with the disafected peo-
pie of the South. He more than once prom
ised in the Winter of lS60-'Gl to forward
their views" and 'joyfully to cooperate
with them" in securing their independence,
so soon as he once conceived that they re-
ally desired separations; and now that there
is little room for doubt on this point he has
done and is still doing all that in him lies
to make his word good. One cannot but
admire such fidelity, however its misdirec-
ton to the support of an evil cause is to be
deplored by the friends of the Unlon.-Nd-
tiOndl Intelligencer.

ID. w. stambaugh nj Cleveland.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports the
points made in Mr.. Stambaugh's speech at
the grand rally in that place last Saturday,
and among other things says:
''SPEECH OF Hon. ID. w. STAMBAUGH.-
The meeting was called to order by j. S.
Allen, Esq, who introduced Hon. b. w.
Stambaugh, of Ohio, who was greeted with
enthusiastic cheers.

Mr.. President, l regret TO hear either dis

TO BE PREFERRED TO THE LATTER. In wars

A Waterspout at Sea.

The bark Jane Doull, Capt. Smith, which
arrived in the Thames on the 18th ultimO
from Bermuda, had an exceedingly narrow
escape from destruction by waterspout at
sea. She left Bermuda on Sunday, August
IA, and shortly after, the wind having fallen
to a dead calm, she came to anchor off the
Great Sound. 'The evening"" writes one
OF the passengers, twas sultry and over
whelmingly oppressive; not breath of air
rippled the water or cooled the hot atmos-
phere. The sun Travelled down the west
and disappeared like great circular patch
of blood behind heavy bank of black
clouds. The night was equally miserable;
the heat intense; the wind was dead; the
broad expanding water smooth as glass,
and everything in nature seemed to denote
some unusual phenomenon at hand. The
morning came, but no change with it,
Clouds of varied hue, but all sombre gray
and black tinged, chased and gathered be-
meath the sky; the sun rose a ball of fire,
and loomed in the distance like red-hot
6S-pound spherical shot. No wind, no
for the worse. AT seven the clouds gather
ed thick and heavy, and far in the distance
we could see rain beating down on the sea
in lines of water. Our attention was soon
diverted from the rain. Capt. Smith and
Mr.. Virgin, the pilot, asked if we did not
hear distant roar. as if there were naval
engagement going on at some short dis
tance. A dull, rumbling roar could dis
tinctly be heard.
"We next observed, about five miles from
us, cylindrical column reaching from the
sea to the altitude of 500 feet. From our
point of view it appeared about three feet
in diameter. 1t was of grayish hue, and
assimilated in hue with the clouds above
No1 l,,v@ -
our glasses we could distinctly observe the
salt water ascending and the fresh water
descending in torrents-the sea in great
state of agitation. Around this cylindrical
column the wind seemed to be rushing with
the force of volcano. A smaller one,
which appeared about this time, was appar-
emily swallowed by the larger one. For
some fifteen minutes we watched this re-
markable and to us novel phenomenon. The
pilot then pronounced it waterspout As
we had never seen one we felt no alarm, till
warned that if it struck the vessel we must
save ourselves. While we were yet con-
occurring what would be the result of this
extraordinary formation, the great line of
black clouds solemnly advanced on each
wing of the spout. The rain was pouring
in wild torrents, and then the spout drop
ped down its mighty weight of water on
the pitiless sea, while the winds madly
rushed it toward us. We now became
alarmed. The roar of the railing waters
came to us like the distant sound of Mag
ara. The sea was lashed into great waves;
the waters poured, and bubbled, and rose
in swaying masses over six feet in height.
With deadly aim and certain purpose the
awful column advanced. Not one on board |
the ship but felt the danger, and knew that |
nothing could save us if it struck the ship. |
Thank God, it burst about thirty yards |
from us, and the last remnant of water |
ceased within about ten feet of the stern."
