The New York Tribune, in an article
headed After the War" INDUCES in the
following pleasant and suggestive para
graph:
"Wars beget military ambition-mili-
tary ambition always destroys Republics
Every profound sophomore and freshman
has proved this from numberless plat
forms, and to the utmost satisfaction OF
admiring audiences of bread-and-butter
school misses. Did not Cesar cross the
Rubicon, and Napoleon chase a crowd of
Deputies into the street, and so On2 We
arrange things differently in America.
One of our leaders is now in charge of a
machine for patent pumping; another Is
building a railway through the oil coun-
try. One of the first soldiers of the Army
of the Potomac is in the pistol business :;
another keeps a retail grocery; while one
of Sherman's most trusted Lieutenants is
a elaim-agent. One Major General prints
a weekly paper in Baltimore. Some of our
officers have drifted into Congress;
others are on their way to distant
Courts to represent the honor of a
nation they did so much to sustain.
These starred and belted gentleman go
down from the command of cohorts to
become agents and partners and dealers
perhaps with the orderly who stood before
their tents or the private who held their
stirrup. So with the Generals of the Re
bellion. The greatest of them all is now
a teacher of mathematics in a university.
Sherman's great antagonists are in the ex-
press and railroad business. The once
dreaded Beauregard will sell you a ticket
from New Orleans to Jackson and, if you
want to send a couple of hams to a friendin
Richmond, Joe Johnston, once commander
of great armies willcarry them. The man
whose works Grant moved upon at Donel-
son edits an indifferent newspaper in New
Orleans, while the commander of the rebel
cavalry at Corinth is his local reporter.
Marshall practises law in New Orleans;
Forrest is running a saw mill; Dick Tay-
lor is now having a good time in New
York; Roger A. Pryor is a daily practi-
toner at our courts; and so with the rest
of this bold, viudictiye and ambitious race
of men.

senator Cragin.s Amendment.

CraSin'S Amendment.
The telegraph has furnished our readers
with the full text of the Constitutional
Amendment submitted in the Senate last
week by Senator Cragin of New Hamp-
shire, declaring the paramount sovereign
ty of the United States, and that no State
has a right to secede from the Union.
We earnestly protest against the adOp-
ton of any such amendment. We pro-
test against it first, because it is entirely
unnecessary. The Constitution already
provides for the paramount authority OF
the United States by declaring CART. VI,
Sec. 2.) that the constitution, and all
laws made in pursuance thereof, shall be
the supreme law of the land and the
judges in every State shall be bound there
by, anything in the constitution or laws of
any State to the contrary n~otwithstand-
ing" This covers the whole ground.
We protest against this amendment, in
the second place, because to pass it would
be to acknowledge the rightfulness of the
rebellion. Its adoption would be a tacit
admission that its principles were not al
ready a part of u national system; and
if they are not, there is nothing which
constitutes secession a crime. No, ME-,
have settled this whole question. 1t is res
adudieata. Bayonets have settled it for
ever. There is no need of pottering with
it any further.

a SmuGgIer Shot ON Canadian
FrOntier.
From the Niagara Falls Gazette


We learn that the report to which we
referred on the goth ult., of the shooting
of a smuggler a short distance above Ton
AMANDA, one night the previous week, was
true, and that the man has since died. 1t
seems that Deputy Collector Bedell, of the
Buffalo District, was following, on horse
back, two men in a wagon with consider
able whisky. Refusing to stop, Mr.. Bed
ell shot one of the horses, and several
shots were exchanged, when the team ran
away and separated fFOm-the wagon. The
horses were secured, but upon going to- the
wagon the men had left. A revolver was
lying upon the wagon seat, and the whis-
Ky was also left with the wagon. The
matter was kept rather quiet but report
has it that the man who was mortally
wounded was a young man, unmarried,
lived on Grand Island, and made snug
Cling his business. Where the fatal shot
took effect, we do not learn, but it Is said
that the evidence that the shooting was
"for keeps on the part of the smugglers,
was found in a ball-hole through the coat
of the Collector.

BuekWheat Cakes and How 10 Make
Them

The following directions are seasonal
BILE:
To make buckwheat cakes wet with
water: Take a quart If buckwheat
-four and nearly a tablespoonful of salt.
Stir in warm water until it is the consis-
tency of thin water. Beat it thoroughly.
Add two t~ablespoonfuls of yeast, if dis
tillery, or twice as much of home-brewed.
Set the batter where it will warm through
the night. Some persons never stir them
after they have risen, but take them out
carefully with a large spoon. Add a tea
spoonful. of pearlash in the morning, if
they are sour. Sift it e the surface,
and stir it well. Some persons like to
add one or two tablespoonfuls of molasses,
to give them a brown color, and more
sweetness of taste.
To make extempore Buekwheat Cakes /:
Three pints of buckwheat, one tablespoon
full of carbonate of soda; dissolve in
water enough to make a batter, and when
mixed, add a tablespoonful of t~artaric
acid, dissolved in a few spoonfuls of hot
water. Mix it and bake Immediately.
Use salt pork to grease the griddle.
To make b~uckwheat cakes wet with
milk: One quart of flour, and in winter
stir in lukewarm milk till it is as thin as
butter, and heat it thoroughly, adding a
tablespoonful of salt. Add a small tea
cup of Indian meal, two ta~blespoonfuls of
distillery yeast, or agood deal more of
home-brewed, say half a t~easpoonfuI of
saleratus, sifted over the top and well
stirred in. If soul, add more saleratus.
This is the best kind of buckwheat cakes.

The Jamaica Horror Tardy and

lAhG 1dtAlHACa LLOEIUE - A1EOI anu
Seant Investigation.
The Jamaica horror shocked the civil
lied world. We do not refer to the So
called instruction of the blacks, for that
affair proves not to have been an insur-
rection at all, but only an Insignificant
riot, confined to single locality, partici-
pated in by less than a hundred persons,
and exhausting itself in a single day. We
refer to the wholesale butchery INDUCED
in by the English Colonial government
under pretence of subduing this riot-to
the execution, without a trial, of two
thousand persons, on charge of crimes
which not one in twentyof them could by
any possibility have participated into
the legalized murder of the martyr Cor
don, a Gospel minister of wealth, learning
and exemplary character, who had no
connection with the outbreak, and whose
sole offense was having been the champion
and friend of the blacks-to the slaughter
of women and children by the English
and their tools the Maroons-and to the
relentless ferocity and iendish cruelty by
which the English of Jamaica haveproved
themselves far more barbarous than the
blacks. At this CHASTITY picture Christen-
dom shuddersl
A sort of refux Of this tide of indignas
ton which has swept across the world is
beginning to be felt in Great Britain.
The liberal men of England, the cham
pions of liberty and humanity, the men
who sympathized with US in our recent
struggle because they felt that upon our
triumph depended the cause of human
progress everywhere, are speaking out
boldly and m~anfully in denunciation of
the terrible outrage. 1he feeling on the
subject is SO great that the English gov
eminent has been compelled to a tardy
and scant attempt to investigate the mat
ter. Eyre, the butcher, whose name will
descend to immortal infamy side by side
with those of Herod and Claverhouse, has

mittee has been appointed to investigate
the matter. This Is all very well; but it
will not restore the murdered Gordon to
life, nor wash either from the Golgothas of
the island or from the memory of man
kind the crimson stain which this foul
massacre has caused. Justice will not be
done until the butcher Eyre, and his in
s~ubordinates, are brought to the
gallows. The people of the United States

Total balance S354,55l II
The Commissioners remark in this con-
nection that the true balance to the credit
of the Sinking Fund was $685., Gill, the
added amount of S25, $50, being funds left
in New York for the redemption of bonds
held by a foreign creditor, in accordance
with the terms of a special notice given
by the Fund Commissioners. If this
amount, subject to the order of said Gre
ditor, were withdrawn by the Commits
's%ioners, the State would be held responsible
for the interest.
The excellent financial condition of the
State can be better appreciated by com
pairing its present Indebtedness with that
exhibited by the corresponding statement
in November 1861, which we do in the
following table:
Redeemed in the last four years.--.sI 1856, 25S SO
This showing is most creditable. Dur
ing the last four years of war, when all
expenses, military and civil, have been
enormous, we have not only provided for
our State defense, threatened and invaded
as we have been by rebels, i~naugurated
and perfected a vast militia system, which
sent fifty thousand men at a fortnights
notice to the defense of Washington and
the succor of Grant, and sustained our
credit by the prompt payment of the in
terest on our indebtedness, but we have
out of the war with our debt
actually reduced nearly two millions of
dollars. No other State in the Union can
so cleana record. 1t is one of which
the citizens of the Buckeye State may
well be proud.

knights of the Road in California.

ISan Francisco Correspondence Chicago Times
The romantic days of Claude Duval,
Sixteen String Jack, Dick Turpin 81 Co.
are being revived on the Pacific coast, and
highway robbery is a thing of every day
occurrence. But a few days ago a stage
was stopped about one mile from Virginia
City, Nevada, according to the old rules of
the road. An obstruction was placed on
the highway, and as the stage came up
the postillion received orders to "halt -
He did so, a cooked musket was pointed
at his head, and others of the gang made
the passengers get out in a row OF the
wayside. Men kept guard over them with
loaded pistols, while others relieved them
of watches, money, and other ~valuables.
The thieves got about $4,000 in cash, be-
sides six gold watches, and several dia-
mond jewels. A lady in the coach
was not molested, for the leader of
the gang said he would "scorn to rob.
a woman" Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express
box was robbed the bullion was thrown
away, but the coin was appropriated.
After the rascals had all that was to be
had, the stage WAS allowed to proceed on
its journey. One of the men robbed was
a Boston merchant, who was out in Ne
vada on business. He will doubtless
think 1t a rough country. From various
parts of the State, too, we hear stories of
men being robbed by highwaymen. In
the southern portion of the State there
have been gangs of these knights of the
road roaming about, committing all sorts
of depredations. They defy the authOri-
ties, for, mounted on good horses that have
been stolen, they can swoop down on the
highways, do what they wish, and get
back to their mountain retreats before the
officers can start after them. One of the
most notorious desperadoes that has been
in this State since the days OF joaquin
his name was Henry-was recently killed
in San Bernardino county. He was a
bloody monster, and had murdered a great
many men in California. A sheriff s posse
caught him by strategy, and dispatched
him without any ceremony.
