The Mammoth Cave.

COLONEL CRoaHAN, to whose family this
great natural curiosity belongs, was resi-
dent of this city. We have learned that he
went to Europe some thirty years ago, and
found himself frequently questioned as to the
wonders of the Mammoth CsVe-s place he
had never visited, and ofWhieh he heard but
little at home, though living within ninety
miles of IT, he went there on. his return,
and the idea struck him 70 purchase it, and
make it family Inheritance. In fifteen min
utes' bargaining be bought it for $40 600, and
shortly after be was offered S100OO for bis
purchase. In his win be tied i up in such q
way that it must remain in bis family for two
generations, thus sppendfng its celebrity to
his name. There are one thousand acres in
the estate, though the cave probably runs IN
der the property of a great number Of land
oWners.-For fear OF those who might dig
down and establish an entrance to the cave
on their own property "a mans farm extend
up to the zenith and down to the nadir,)
great vigilance is exercised to prevent'such
subterranean surveys and measurements as
would enable one to sink a shalt with any
certainty. The cave extends ten or twelve
miles in several directions, and it has been
conjectured that there is probably many a
back woodsman sitting in his hut within ten
miles of the cave quite unconscious that the
most fashionable ladies and gentlemen Of
America are walking without leave under his
potatoes and corn. n."-Louisvills Journal

him these powers were men such. as plaa-
ison and Jay and Hamilton and Morris
and Washington and host of worthy
men. who. I think, knew as much about
the laws Of Government, and how they
should be rightly balanced, as any of the
wisest who now sit here in council. It
is the duty of the President of the U. ).
to stand as defender of the Constitution
in his place, as the conservator of the
rights Of the people, as tribune Of the
people. as it was in old Rome when the
people did choose their tribunes to 60
into the Senate Chamber among the aris-
tocracy of Rome, and when they passed
laws injurious to the Roman people, to
stand and say, " I forbid il"
That is the veto power, incorporated
wisely by our fathers int the Constitution,
conferred upon the President of the
United States, and to be treated with
consideration and no appeal of the Sen
ator to his God can change the Constitu-
ton or the rights of the President Of the
United States, or can prevent just con-
sideration OF the dignity of this Senate
body by persons who bave just consider
alton, who feel that they are Senators.
It is a strange thing, an exceedingly
strange thing, that when a few Senators
in the city of Washington, i'll at their
houses, give assurance that they can be
here TO act upon great public question
on the day following this, we should
hear a piece of defamation, the Senator
appealing to his God, and saying with an
10 triomphe air, " Well or i'll, God has
made them i'll" Sir, the god of desola-
ton, the god of darkness, the god of
evil is his god. I never expected to
hear such objections raised among hon
orabIe men and men to be Senators
should be honorable men. 1 never ex-
peoted to hear such things in this Hall +;
and I rose simply, to say that such SEN
timents were to be condemned, and must
receive my condemnations, now and here,
and fit amounts to a rebuke, l trust it
may be rebuke.

Where Can the Negro VOtsi

An unposted man in this country might
reasonably infer, from the amount Of loud
clamor about negro rights and privileges. Of
which he hears so much and so continually,
especially from the New England sections
that voting was about as common to him as
could be desired bY any class Of people. The
Albany Argus volunteered the valuable in
formation, the other day, for the benefit Of
all concerned, that "thers are only two States
in the Union where the negro is allowed to
vote without property qualification" They
are Vermont and New Hampshire, the for
mer of which has eighty negro voters, and
the latter one hundred and ninety.
In Massachusetts every voter must, with
in two years, have paid State or county
tax, unless excused from taxation.
In Rhode Island, voter must own real
estate of one hundred and thirty-four dollars
value. or of the clear yearly value of seven
dollars over any ground rent.
A coIored person is not allowed to vote in
New York unless he has resided in the State
three years, and is a freaholder in value Of
two hundred and fifty dollars, and paid taxes
thereon"
And, it might be added, that in Ohio,
negro. to be a white man. must have pre-
of white blood in his system. and
if the Judges decide that he has NOT, he can
not vote.

by way of precaution, have It posted upon

Second Section of the act, which is as fol-

" Yesterday, during short excursion, I
saw on Washington street lady wearing
that modern abominstion which is said to be

structed as to tilt up behind in walking, ex-
hibiting the legs of the wearer as high as
the knee. The papers say. and you know
the papers never lie, that this fashion has
converted all the fashionable dressmakers Of
New York into makers Of false calves, to
give symmetrical rotundity to the legs thus
displayed to the gaping corner lengers dur

DEDICATED 10 ENEE1 bODA'
INTo the green wood wanted to stay,
The cares would go with me;
And vainly ten times said them nay
They followed me faithfully.
And as we came to the thicket green
That moment a whispering began;
The birds we're saying, allow dare you be seen,
sYe Cares, in our woody domain ?"
The grass rose up, and would stop their flight
AS they fed before the keen gale;
The trees, wide-branching, began to fight
As the Cares ran DER hill and through vale.
They ran, and running heir queer heads broke,
As the rocks sharp edge came across:
Then in the bright sunshine they vanished like
smoke,
And were drowned in the dews Of the moss.
" Now ye see, so cried, when at length set free
From theirplaguing, what soon must become
Ofyou when you venture 'mong bush and tree
So another time, mind, stay at homers'

Who Should be Our Rulers.

We quoted, Yesterday, some remarks from
a Boston periodical, prnnouncing republican
institutions q failure, because " first class
men, such as Philips, Emerson, Whittier,
Lowell, Sumner. Stevens, Wade and Schurz,
did not succeed in getting as the head of the
Government as our rulers.
To this characteristic snecimen Of New
England arrogance the Cincinnati Gazette
has read n toersbly lecture, in which it has
the audacitY to thus speak ifs opinion Of some
OF the political Yankee god-heads. It comes
seasonable and with commendable propriety
from the Gazette The truthfnlness and ant
ness of the criticism viii scarcely be called
in question by anY "level head:
"From our point of view, neither of the
men nemed above are {" first class men" and

A NFw HORSESHOE "A Paris blacksmith
has invented new system of shseing hors-
es. Instead Of the shoe being placed on the
hoof. and burning its own resting place, the
outside of the hoof is cut awsv around the
loot to the deoth Of half an inch. This leaves
a ledge into which the shoe fits, and is then
flush with the frog, which Just touches the
ground instead of being raised. as of old, BY
the shoe The advantages of this are that
foot is little pared, and that, instead OF a
heavy shoe, the animal is shod in what are
little more than racing plates. The advant-
ages claimed by the inventor are that the
horse never slips, that the shoe allows the
foot to expand naturally, and that it lasts as
long and is as cheap as the old plan.
