ImportantDecision.

Judge Mason, In the Supreme Court OF
New York, gave an interesting decision on
Friday. A guest at the I.aiarge House was
robbed OF Il watch. his rings and scarf pin,
together with two hundred dollars IN
money, and on sueing, the proprietor set
up In defense that the rule Of the house
(under the statute of the State) required
valuables to be deposited In the safe of the
office. The Judge. however. charged that
this did not apply to II watch. or such Jew
elry as mau usually carried about bis

were usually carried In the pockets of trav-
elers to supply ordinary necessities. The
jury brought In a verdict giving the plain

A NEW EPIDEMIC IN CoNSEc1cur.--
The Hartford Times gives the follow
ing particulars of new terrible epid-
emic which has broken out in that To-
cality, and threatens to spread to 9TH
or cities. Attention is called to it
thai young people may be prepared,
as its most numerous victims are taken
from their ranks. The Tines says:
.sThe cholera fever has about sub
sided, with the advent of cool wealth
er; and, as the thermometer indicates
a nearer approach to winter, new
epidemic starts up, which promises to
reach all classes Of the community be-
foie Christmas and New Year. 1t
commenced in good earnest this
week. There is nothing fatal about it
if good care is taken by the parties
afflicted; yet disease will sometimes
assume troublesome phase when it
is least expected. This epidemic is
styled by the doctors (of Divinity a
rage of matrimony; fee s., or $40,
or more, according to the condition
of the patient, with prospect of fur
ther outlay in case Of an emergency.
The first symptoms are palpitation;
then contortions of the muscles into
sweet smile and rush of blood to
the head; then congestion of the brain
and an itching for scribbling epistles
delightfully."- confused with adjectives:
then unreasonable hours and sleepless
nights; and then various things too
numerous to mention, and finally Wis
ions of embroidery and the cradle
season"

TO THE TAXED.

Remember-we are paying ONE
MILLION OF DOLLARS A MONTH.
to support the Freedman's Bureau.
Remember--we are paying TWO
AND ONE HALF MILLIONS per.
month, as an additional bonus to the
banking interest. r-
Remember--we are paying over
ONE HUNDRED MILLIONS per
year to maintain by military force q
divided Union.
Remember-that taxes are growing
larger and the means Of paying them
smaller. That farmers will do we'll
if they can save their seed for anoth-
er year: that mechanics ask nothing
more than to keep starvation away
from their doors; that rich bondhold-
ers are not taxed; that lazy negroes
are fed at the public cribs; that Office
holders swarm in our midst like tho
locusts of Egypt.
Remember-that we are asked to
lengthen out this train of evils--per-
petuate this evil-to lick the hand
that smites us-by sending back to
Washington the present proiligato
Congress.
And remember-that while it is
the part of good citizens to respect
and submit to law, it is only the slave
who abjectly neglects the means of
redress. 1t is the great privilege of
freemen to change their govern
ment.
At this juncture it is an impcra-
tive duty.

why Should the People Sustain the
Radical CongressP

Why should the people sustain the
radical Congress? They wasted eight
months in their attempts to keep the
Union divided. They squandered one
hundred and fifty millions of tax
payers money, They gave away mil
lions Of acres of public lands to job
bers and spectators. They refused to
reform the currency, or to pass laws
that would tend to reduce the cost Of
living. They squandered millions
upon millions in legislating for the
benefit Of favored class. They de-
feated every attempt 70 restore the
Union. They refused to agree upon
any terms upon which the Repressn-
tatives Of the Southern States could
be admitted TO Congress. They
threaten TO revolutionize the Govern.
ment, and to bring on another civil
war by the impeachment of the Pres.
ident. And for services like these
they doubled their salaries! VIII,
should the people support this radica
and revolutionary Congress?. Z .e'..

Exactly what They Mean.

The New York Independent give out
the following manifesto, as to what
its Radical friends in Congress mean
when they talk about restoring the
Union; ~ .s,ff ue.il ,sfe
'No leading Republican in Con-
gress means to admit the ten waiting
States simply on the adoption of the
Constitutional amendments. These
States are to be admitted on no con-
ditions short of the equal political
rights of all loyal citizens, without
distinction of race A reconstruc-
ton Of the Union on any other basis
would be national dishonor. Until
the rebel States can come back on this
basis, they shall not come back at
ALL"
As New York does not give "equal
political rights" to colored people, the
same rule would put our State out Of
tne Union. What right has Congress
to prescribe the qualifications of the
electors in the several States?

PERTINENT QUESTIONS.

candid and interesting conversation
between Mr.. Beaman and one Of his
farmer constituents. 1t suits this Dis
trict and Mr., briggs just as well b.

have you done in Congress for us far
mers and laborers ? hi b92a3fanips

good friend, we couldn't do much. -
Circumstances made it impossible.

tighten our taxes, or to diminish the
duties we pay on all that we eat,

Beaman-Of oil things that We did
I can't say we did this, but we ex-
pended great deal of money to feed,
clothe and educate loyal negroes. -
ar Fsrmer-Did your do anything to
bring hard money into circulation
again and make a dollar greenback
actually worth hundred centsr ~
Beaman--We didn't do that indeed,
but we, outvoted two vetoes Of the
President, who wished to hinder us
from making our black friends equal
to the whites. tfH ro4 3,.
Farmer-Did you do anything to
equalize the taxes, so that the burdens
of the government need not be borne
alone by farmers and laborers 3
Beaman--I confess we did not do
much I" in that line" but instead Of
that we sought to equalize civil rights,

Farmer-Well, then, did you do
anything to restore the Union?

vote. ~. t..,t,,.

promote tho reconciliation of the white
population OF the South, and convince
them that an intimate union with the
North would bo mutual advantage
and necessary to the welfare of both
sections? ..tt,
Beaman-No, on the contrary We
did everything to prove that the whole
inhabitants Of the South are all trai

1t is received doctrine, incorpora-
ted into the laws and constitutions of
many States, that no law maker can
or shall vote himself increased pay,
and no executive or ministerial officer
shall have his pay increased during
the time for which he was elected. :
Yet briggs, Beaman and Trowbridge
violated this well established custom
or law. They contracted when they
were elected to work for certain
time for certain price-say twenty
two dollars day for their working
days and Sundays--and then they ap-
propriated to themselves thirty-three
dollars day for the came time and ser.
vice. Let the workingmen and tax.
payers think this over, and then say
If they want such men to continue in
charge of the National purse I?

Mongrel Lios and Popular Crodulfty.


The mongrels owe their supremacy
solely to persistent lying and popular
credulity. The lying and the creduli-
ty are alike essential TO success, and
the absence of either would ensure
defeat. If the real objects of mon-
grelism were avowed, and the people
were permitted to see just what it is
and what it aims to accomplish, there
would be speedy collapse. But nei-
ther the lies nor the credulity are in
exhaustible. The time must soon
come when tho lies will be met with
so many facts that the credulity will
wear out, and then will come the re-
vulsion, The mongrel leaders may
think that before that day arrives,
consolidation and despotism will have
nothing to fear from the people. And
herein lies their own credulity. There
is nothing thnt they can fasten upon
the people, through the instrumental
ity of laws and constitutional obliga-
tions, that they have not themselves
given US precedents to abolish and
trample under foot whenever we wish
to do SO. There is no longer anything
that is or can be sacred. When it
has suited their convenience they have
trampled upon private and public
rights, passed er post faeto laws to meet
cases of emergency, and have SO
weaned the popular mind from respect
to law and political rights, that no in
terest or class is safe from future in
reference. They must, from the
compensatory nature of things, reap
terrible harvest of retribution.
Political ascendency is a thing that
cannot be depended upon. A short
time since, Michigan and almost every
Northern State was democratic. The
revolution. which placed democracy in
in the minority will again give it the
majority, because its principles are
immortal. All contrivances to sub
vert the republic by excluding States
from representation must end in fail
ure. Mongrelism receives the popu-
lar support because it has lied itself
into the appearance of democracy and
love of liberty. The honesty of the
masses cannot conceive Of the extent
of mongrel iniquity, and yieldsit sup
port under misapprehension of its
words and objects. When the eyes of
the people are opened, as they shortly
will be, it would have been better for
some men had they never been born.
