General Meagher.

The journal announces, as "the sensa-
ton of the day." that General Meagher
"has come out in favor of Negro Suf-
trage." We certainly have no objection
to that, if the General has come to the
conclusion that negro is as good as him
self This used to be free country and
possibly may be again. AT all events, it
still tolerates white men in drawing COM
parisons between themselves and their
"colored brethren" We have no doubt
the General has been reading the Jour
NAILS Oberlin literature, and perhaps
Beecher's theory of mscegenatidn. The
journal, and the Abolition press general
ly, hold that the Irish are an ignorant,
priest-ridden people, prone to follow their
leaders, and are especially guided by their
priests in all things. We remember how
patronizingly the Journal took Archbish-
op Purcell under its wing, and how all
the sayings of that distinguished prelatc,
that could by any means be tortured into
an endorsement of the subjugating policy
of the Abolition party, were heralded
forth in that paper, under big headlines,
similar to those employed in announcing
"Sherman's Shame!"
The journal seems to anticipate a great
rush of the Irish to its black standard. Il
will perhaps meet with the same success it
has on various former occasions. The
Journal has two birds to kill, and wants
to kill them both with the same stone
OF late it has been raking up the speeches
and writings of Abolition Generals, and
other big and little guns of the party, for
the purpose of giving General Cox "fre
in the rear"-for it says the General is
opposed to negro suffrage. We shall
watch the progress Of the Journals fight
with itself, with the same degree of inter-
est the old woman manifested in the result
of the contest between her husband and

purpose Of the paper to Haynes, was rn-
true. We regret thus plainly to charac.
terize the statement of a venerable, and
should-be honorable mao; but justice de-
mands irath, and not preuwicanon.
If Messrs. odlin and Lowe wish to re-
pudiate their pledge to Judge Haynes, and
sink the man in the mere party hack, let
them do it openly and unblushingly, aud
not by any pettiiogsihg and prevarication.
They first solicited the present Judge to
be candidate for reelection, mot before
a party convention well knowing at the
time they signed thepaper that they might
be oveuuled by the mere politicians of
their party; and pledged Judge Haynes, in
the event of his being a candidate. their
undivided support" In that spirit
Judge Haynes accepted the invitation, and
still adheres thereto in good faith. But
his friends will cruelty him, or any one
else, whom they cannot use to crafty their
base partisan purposes. Messrs. Young
and Conover, like gentlemen, stated open
ly and positively in Convention, that they
could not and would not support its nom
inee, but on the contrary, in pursuance of
their pledge, would support Judge Haynes
cheeriully, faithfully and zealously.

A New Religion.

A new religious sect, says the New York
World, was inaugurated at New York on
Monday, July 81. A portion Of the East river
is, TO be consecrated ior baptisms purposes.
The leader of the new sect Is man named
Royes Wheeler, native of Massachusetts
who claims to be specially empowered by the
angel Gabriel to found a new religion, under
the name and title of "The New Spiritual
Baptist Church, and Progressive Association 2"
Moves styles himself "Chief of the Israelilsh
Tribe, and says that he has to eonsecrate a
portion OF the East river, in order that "be
may be immersed therein oy high priestess
the daughter of Zion and the handmsden of
the Lord, with whom be will build up the new
church"
A description Of this latest prophet cannot
fail 10 be interesting. He might be regarded
as an octogenarian; his form attenuated his
hight ahont five feet ten, and his locks long
and gray. There s something about his face
which tells you he is one Of the Massachusetts
Utopsns, who are ready to exclaim with the
blasphemous Frenchman, that ii they we're in
the Garden of Eden when the world was made
they could have suggested some very impor-
tant improvements. HIS hair is parted IN the
middle, another ominous sign Of theological
transition, and his beard is grizzly in quality

The Result IN Kentucky.

The Louisville Democrat says of the results

grave cause to find fault with the military in.
reference in our State election, there is much
cause of congratulation. Our Congressional
delegation will remain politically the same

we have about tWo-thirds of the members,
quite enough to adopt any measure necessary
to the safety and welfare Of the State, and to
repeal some dangerous and uncon stitutional
ones now on our statute books. We have
enough to secure an able Conservative Sena.

we have won in the face Of military power

An awful occurrence took place on last
Friday in 81 Clair county. Two brothers,
John and Tiff Higgins, who had lately been
mustered out OF the United States service,
went together 10 mill, where they remained
nearly all day They were both married men
and lived near together. Returning home in
the evening they stopped at the house Of their
mother, a short distance from where they lived
1t appears that the wife of John Higgins and
his mother had been engaged in family
quarrel, in consequence of which John was
greatly enraged and embttered against his
mother After the brothers had been short
time at their mothers house, John began to
use violent language, abusing and threatening
his mother and GnHily made an attempt to
kill her, using bowie kuiie, with which he
stabbed her three or four times about the neck
and breast Tiff Immediately nterfered to
protect her, when his brother turned upon
him, drawing bis revolver and firing at him
three OF four times in quick succession the
last of which wounded him slightly in the
left arm liF returned the Ere with better
aim, shooting his brother through the heart
and killing him instantly. After caring for
his mother, he went TO Osceola and delivered
