England offers one thousand pounds

apprehension. Stephens should aban-

ganized the mass of disaffection and

far too great to hope for the accom-

A negro named Henry was acct
dentally killed at Columbus, last Tues
day night, by his employer, Mr.. Henry
Dillon, an aged citizen of that town.
Henry was living on Mr. Dillon's prem
ises and hearing noise made at the
wood-pile by som nocturnal animal in
search Of the poultry, be reused Mr..
Dillon, telling him to get his gun.
The latter with his fowling piece, and
Henry with a torch, inspected the
wood-pile, but failed to discover the
intruder. Mr.. Dillon then fired one
barrel into the wood, and throwing
the gun over his shoulder, started to
return into the house, with Henry
following to light his way. From
some cause unknown the remaining
barrel was discharged, the whole load
entering the neck of Henry, and killing
him instantly. The occurrence was
purely accidental, and Mr.. Dillon is
bowed down with sorrow.

close of Judge Story's commentary on the
Constitution, the following occurs :
Republics are created by the virtue, pub

They fall when the wise are banished from
the public councils, because they dare to be
honest; and the profigate are rewarded be-
cause they tiatter the people in order to be-
tray them.

PROPOSED RADICAL SCHEME.-The
La Crosse wis Democrat has New
York and New England authority for
the subjoined statement:
The rebellion has caused the eX
istence of several hundred millions Of
so-called Confederate bonds The re-
bellion was a failure. The South can
not regain admittance to the Union
till she has repudiated her Confederate
debt. This of course makes her bonds
valueless. Soon as they become
worthless, they are to be bought up by
the spectators of the North for the
merest trifle When these bonds are
in the hands of bOndholders and spec
ulators, their validity is to be tested,
decided in the affirmative, the taxes
to pay them, principal and interest, is
to be levied on the States said to be
out of the Union, and the money SO
collected is to go into the hands of
the bond holders, stock jobbers and
spectators of the North, who will, by
this game, realize from one to five
thousand per cent. on their invest
ment.
They will be decided valid on the
grounds:
eff the States were not out of the
Union, they had right to issue
bonds
eff they were out of the Union, the
debts of conquered country must
always be paid, and the property OF
such country is always liable for all
her Indebtedness, either as nation or
from her efforts to become one"
And the public mind of the North is
to be educated to think this will be the
final penalty the South must pay the
loyal people of the North for their
rebellion.
Chase, Butler, Stevens and a few
others have decided that the above
scheme is now, or soon will be, cOnsti-
tutional, and already Southern bonds
are being bought up for the great
speculation.
A move is on foot in radical circles
| to demand these bonds from theil
holders in the South, and failing to
get them, to take them by force Of
arms.

all the movements of the natural limbs, and
with a high degree of perfection. The hand

president Lincoln's Remains.

The Committe Of the National Monu-
ment Association, of which Gov. Oglesby
of Illinois is chairman, visited the tomb OF
Mr.. Lincoln, at Springfield last week. A
letter says: stHfi
:. The visit Of the committee was an Of
fetal one, and made in pursuance OF res
olution Of the Board of Directors Of the
Association, the object being to enable
them to certify to the actual presence of
the body in the casket. The face was ex-
amined through the glass covering which
underlies the outer strata OF the case by
the several gentlemen above named, and
identified by each Of them as that Of the
matyred President. The sad ceremony
ended, the lid was again nailed down and
sealed with the sigpet of the Association.
The great stone or SLAB was subsequently,
rolled to the door Of the sepulchre and
fitted into its place, the finishing stroke
impaired to the solid masonry, which was
in like manner as the casket, impressed
with the great seal Of the Corporation.
The remains will now rest ,undisturbed
till the National Monument shall be
completed, when they will be deposited in
their fiaal resting place, nor ever be re-
moved hence till the heavens are nc

The features of the deceased were
scarcely nable- the embalmmenl

WHIPPING You've LsDIEs.--A very
curious discussion is going on in the col
umns of London periodical, called the
Queen, on the subject of whipping young
ladies in English schools. A correspon-
dent of that paper wrote to inquire of the
editors If it is true that young ladies are
thus "birched," the same as boys. This
brought out a number of letters, in which
it appears that the practice does prevail
in many of the most fashionable boarding
schools for girls, and that the girls are
"bifched" in degrading style, sometimes
in their rooms and sometimes before the
whole school. The particulars would
hardly bear repetition in these columns
A culprit who is TO be punished in this
way is also made to pay for it in money.
She has to pay for the rod, and for the
servant who robes her for punishment !;
she has TO pay the governess who whips
her, and then when it is all over, she is
compelled to kiss the rod and thank her
tormentors. Young ladies Of the aristo-
cratic classes, sixteen and seventeen years
old, have recently gone through this deg
radiation, and the facts are vouched for by
the names of their relatives. 1t would
seem 10 be incredible, but there is no room
for doubt.
