MrscEGENATIoN.-Thc Watertown (Wis.) Re
publican says, that last Friday the usual quiet
ness of our main Street was suddenly disturbed
by the arrival Of two colored gentlemen from
Lake Mills, with a white womal hanging on the
arm of each. One couple were married, and ac-
companied the other for the purpose of being
present at their bridal. Judging fIom the appear
ance of the unmarried couple, as they marched
up through the Streets we should think on this
occasion, at least, true love really ran smooth
They at once proceeded to the Justices office, fol-
lowed by a crowd anxious to witness the cere-
mony, at which the woman seemed surprised, and
inquired the reason of it, saying that when she
married her first husband there werc not so many
present. Squire Ducasse gave them few words
of advice and declined tho honor of tying the
knot, when the woman declared she would not
marry n white man If she had to trayc 1000
miles, at the same time tapping the ebony check

his ivories. After several frpitless attempts to

Take Warning.

Some of the 'loyal" judges during the late
war; and some time since, appeared anxious TO
emulate the example and share the iut,my Of
Jeifreys the able and celebrated English judicial
ruflian. 1t is we'll to recall the fate OF that un-
sayory individual. Jcllreys was. a coarse, brutal
tSrant who delighted in bloodshed but he was
Il sound lawyer, and too able to be laughed at.
Like all judicial ruiians, Jeiireys end WAS mis-

lures, and there is no instance of Nemesis having
overlooked IL corrupt aud mcrcilcsS judge. " hen

also became II fugitive. AS he Was The most o.
dous of all the parasites and tools of, the fallen
monarch, all of his associates in crime marked
him for the atoning scape-soat. or all the hated
members of the defeated party, the mob was most
anxious for the blood OF Jetfreys; for, in all ma
turc, there is nothing so abhorrcd as wicked
and corrupt Judge. Everybody camorcd for the
immediate execution of Jclreys. Frightened out
of his wits by the yells of tho popullce, the ina-
nous Lord Chancellor disguised aud hid him
self at small house at Wrapping, hoping to es-
cape beyond the sea. He shaved off those saw
age eyebrows which made Ills aspect so hid
eous, and put on the dress Of IL sailor. THUS dis
guised, he visited an alc-house. While there in
his sailing accoutsemcnts, lie was recognized by
an unfortunate scrivener, who had been the vic
tim of Jeifleys brutality, in his days of lawless
power The man had not forgotten the terror OF
the ruilinn's counttnance, aud proclaimed his
presence. The lnuriated mop rushed III. 1hat

by limb, must be-ascribed to kind Providence,
which pterfered to give him few months res

the mob, who had torn his clothes and pumneied
him terribly. In the presence of the mob, the
brazcn judicial bully became most arraht cow

removed to the Tower under strong guard, the
mob following kim like furnished wolves greedy
for his blood, aud exhibiting hundreds of whips
and halters to his horrifed eyes. The, poor
wretch did nothing but cry out piteously to the
guard "For'thc Lords s'tke keep them off,

1F IT WAS RIGHT THEN IT IS RIGHT Now.-The
Chicago Times very properly remarks that rs
President Johnson has declared Thad. Stevens,
SIuner and Philips and Others are traitors, it is
his duty to arrest them for the ''crime of treas
on" whereat the disuuion abolition organs are
bursting with indignation. Can they give any
reason why it should not be done? They call
upon the president to render ''treason odious,"
and when it is proposed to do so by arrestiug
their reasonable leaders-she men who are op-
posed to restoration of the Union and who arc
laboring to establish the doctrine of secession
they howl with rage. The Imprisonment Of
honest men, during the last four years was quite
fashionable-but these men are undoubted trail
tors, disloyal to the Constitution and Govern
mcnt. Ifit was treason then to oppose the Presi-
dent why is it otnow? Are not men, who are
endcavoring to subvert the Government traitors?
Are not the radicals in Congress endcavoring to
subvert the Government.

seven millions of dollars for the Freedmen s
Bureau, the New York Express remarks:
That is a rather heavy load to lay on
the shoulders, in part, of our white labor
ing men, in order to give fat salaries to
such sleek philanthropsts as the Rev. Mr..
French, the Rev. Mr.. Fits, and other
friends of liberty" whom, the ihvcstiga-
tions have lately shown, Were running the

1t is such Items as these that keep up
taxation to point which make slaves of
every white man North, South, East and
West alike, who has to earn his bread by
the sweat of his brow. At a time when
flour, tea, coffee, sugar, clothing, and all
the other necessaries of life are going up,
with gold-wiso men should pause and
think something Of reducing the national
burthens by abrogating an institution that
does more harm than good to the class it
proposes to help-but wisdom, alas, crieth
not aloud in the streets of Washington; or, :,
if she does, our masters there are too deaf
