GErriS0 TtHEb OF TYRAxxY.-Eveh some Of
the more respectable Abolition organs are becom-
ing tired of the continuance Of the arbitrary mill
tary rule ~practiccd in the States. Some weeks
ago, Gen. Howard, commanding in Maryland. is
sued an order commanding the former sIavehold-
ers in that State to feed, clothe and take care Of
all negroes who were unable from any cause to
snpport themselves. To this extraordinary order.
the New York Commercial, an able Abolition or
gan, responds as follows:
This Is a short anil ,Srsy method Of settling a
yexed question. but IL f..4bbut as oppressive, arbi-
trary and wrongheaded ~ II we'll can he. Why
not issue an order compelling businessmen mt the
North 10 pension their employees usfit for labor
and farmers to provide for the support of those
who have " worked for them, " and became ipca-
~paeitaled by reason Of age or other cause7 Under
slavery, masters bad The obligation land generally
felt ii Of supporting their slaves till death or the
auction block did them part. But now. that ths
law of slavery has ceased. the customs Of the in
stitution fall With il. and idle or poor or superan-
nuated negroes can no longer be made a personal
charge upon late owners. Those late slaves have
precisely the claim upon their late masters thas
laborers have upon their employers elsewhere, and
whatever that claim may be, 1t is . subject for
State and not for Federal execution.

A white Boy FIoggcd to Death.

A late New York paper gives the following:
A resident Of harlem informs the New York
that a boy of fourteen years. the son Of
his widowed mother, committed a petty otiense,
fur which his employer caused him to be sent to
the House Of Refuge, where a ~fogging WAS admin
istered that caused the Lads death. The inform
ant adds "tStret he'd on a box. he was logged on
his arrival. aud the castigation was again repeated
when he did not or could not perform the task
allotted to him. Death came with so little warn
ing, or the summons Of the mother to tine dying
bed of her boy was 50 long delayed. that she ar
lived only to see the last gasp Of him who a few
days before had entered that Institution a hale and
handsome boy. There was not n dry eye. says u
spectator, at the agony of that mother when she
DENOUNCED the men who had scourged her boy to
Death"
We hear of no Puritan Abolition condemnation
of this savage murder. Alas, the boy was white,
his widowed mother poor. That's what's the mat
ter. But had he been black, and his mother a
slave, how the s~anctimonious howiers would have
shriekcd and stormed over the inhunnan, barbar-
GUS butchcry by the slave ownerl'' They would
have published it IN every Abolition organ, under
flaming display headings, sent exaggerated ae-
counts of it all over the land, and cried alond for
vengeance. As it i, the butchered boy was white
and his mother poor. II was a heinoGs crime in
them both, this thing OF color and condition, in
Abolition eyes, but the boy has; they win add.
received his just reward, aud his mother very
properly suffers for her murdered boys complexion
and her own poverty. Puritanism is, perhaps.

THE ELECTION IN KENTUCKY.
Military Outrages.--SOlIiers Pre-

Democratic sheriff Seized.

The following accounts of Abolition
outrages Mt the late election i'll Kentucky
are copied from dispatches TO the Cincin-
natl and Chicago papers. They suf
iciently show in what manner the party
in power mean to carry elections, and
how little regard they have for the Act
Of their own Congress which prohibits
military interference at the polls. Thank
God, such outrages are not permitted in
Oregon. Our Democracy will never sub
nit to the like:
LEXINGTON. KY, Aug. :.
The most fragrant attempts were made
here this morning to carry the election
by the aid of the m%ilitary power. \ list
of prescribed persons had been made out,
by some self-constituted Committee OF
Public Safety, aud was placed in the
hands of a military officer. Every one
whose name appeared in il was arrested
If he appeared near the polls, There was
no appeal from the list, and a willingness
to take the test oath Of Gov. Bramiette
did not ave the rroscribed Private

gator of the prescription.

ANNEXATION IN CANADA.-A late New
York letter to the San Francisco Bulletin
says:
Tie PROVINCIAL Parliament is now in ses-
sion at Quebec, and letters from that place
Indicate a growing feeling among the Cana'
dams in favor of annexation to the United
States. 1t is said that one-third of the Par
liamentary members are in favor of it, and
that all that is wanted to carry the project
through to success is a bold and firm leader.
The speech in the lower House in response
to the Governor-G Generals address was par
ticularly complimentary to the valor of the
United States in war, and its strength and
power in peace, and was frequently greeted
with the English /" Hear, heart' exelama-
ton. In the midst of the excitement and
varying feeling, the Ministry have become
somewhat alarmed, and will, it is understood,
abandon for the present session both the con-
federation and the frontier defenses schemes.

EMIGRATION FROM GERxANY.--fhe Depart
ment of State has received advices from the
United States CONSUL at Bremen; in which
it is represented that during the first six
months of this year, from january LIST up to
June last, 1865, the emigration 10 the United
States through the port Of bremen amount
ed to IL, 100 emigrants, in Sc vessels, against
1903, in So ships, in 1863. During the
first six months IN 1865 the emigration
through Hamburg amounted to Is, 600 emf
grants, which gives a total addition to our
population of nearly $4,000 souls in six
months. And from these two ports only a
far larger emigration to the United States is
expected this fall and next spring, and
an unusual number of vessels have already
been chartered for that purpose.
