1t is said to be leaking badly now. 1t
is to be feared that it will continue to leak
badly till after the October election, in
deed, so long as the present party is in
charge of it. The treasury is fruit bas-
ket for the Republicans, and they say they
are after "the fruits. ."-Ind Heyaa
They haven't been after any thing else
than the fruits, though some ofthem, when
gotten, proved, while sweet to the taste, to
be bitter to the belly, as Governor Nor
tons present condition can testify. The
Treasury rats and public plunderers gener-
ally are extremely anxious to keep the
Democrats out of power, because theT fear
exposure of their public frauds and rob
berries. For that reason, the taxpayers
and laborers avd producers of the country
should labor to put the Democrats in pow
err; for it is to their intercs that these cx>
posures should be made, and that economy
and retrenchment should prevail in all
departments of Government, National,
State and County. That can not be while
the guilty parties hold the Offices, as they
now DO. a change is absolutely demanded
for the protection of the laboring, prolu>
cling and tax~paying citizens. and it is for
them to say whether the desired change
shall be made

Suicide OG Senator James III
lane. OF Kansas.

General James H. Lane, well known as
one of the United States Senators from
Kansas, has committed suicide 10y blowing
his brains out with pistol, in Leaven-
worth. He was supposed to be laboring
under state of insanity at the time
Mr. Lane was formerly Democratic
member of Congress from Indiana. Not
being renominatcd, he removed to Kansas
when the Territory was thrown open to
settlement in 1854 He then soon began
to distinguish himsclfby 4 course of pro-
ceedings in conflict with all his past life.
He identified himself with the most ex>
treme Abolitionists of the Territory, and
was connected with many of the most dis
reputable acts Of violence which, for some
years, kept the Territory in Il state Of con-
slant turmoil and trouble. His acts OF
ruffanism soon became outrac eous, and
gave him bad reputc with all those who
were blind and bigoted partisans. There
was scarcely any atrocity from which he
or those with whom he was associated re>
coiled This violence made him favor
itc with the dcsperadoes and fanatics in
Kansas. and by their influence he was
elected to the United States Senate. He
was reelected, and lately has given evi,
dence of becoming more conservative and
moderate in his action by supporting, in a
measure, the policy of the President. 1t
is not little remarkable how the men of
war and violence, who were instrumental
in commencing war, are passing out OF
the world under circumstances of mental
alienation or rcd-handed crime.

How is it that great proportion OF our

new-fangled notions which their wiser
neighbors use single thought until forced
by poverty, to do it-and very likely by
that time those very neighbors have found
something better still. They have no ''opin-

Scene or the EloOr OF Congress

The Washington correspondent Of the
Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel thus
graphically describes the reading of Pres
ldent J0hnsOn'S late message on the Con-
stitutional amendment, IN the House Of
Representatives:
[ Glanced to be present in the galleries
Of the House Of Representatives, when the
message was received and.road. 1t was a
complete surprise. Words can scarcely
convey any inadequate idea of the RAGE and
dismay Of the leaders of the House as sem
tcnce after sentence Of executive rebuke
came pealing upon them in the sonorious
tones of the Reading Clerk, piercing their
sophistrics as round shot tears through the
ranks of an ill-discip!ined battalion. 1t
was plain enough to any observer that they
felt the crushing force of the PRESIDENT )
objections, 50 tersely and yetso Courteous
ly presented. They knew. rs the last words
of the document, "Signcl, Andrew john
son." rung in their ears, that they sound
ed the death>knell Of the amendment. 1t
was exceedingly amusing TO hear the ma
hgnant utteranccs OF the bittercst Of the
enemies of the President, in commenting
among themselves upon the style in which,
unasked, lie had entered into their game
and delivered check mate Said one at
amounts to this, that Andy johnson ism t

we may pass until the rebel traitors are
admitted here among Us to lcgislate for the
loyal people Of this country" Another
opined that "the next thing we shall see
will be the rebel representatives escorted
to their vacant seats by Presidential bay
onets These arc fair specimens of the
familiar comments of the radicals upon the
message. But most provoking Of all to
their ears was the cool business like style
in which the President condescends to
''waiye the question as to the constitutions

That, they think, was the unkindcst cut of
all.

Abolition Civilization.

Hon. Benz G. Harris, of Maryland.
IN speech in the House of Representa>
tives on the 14th ult, alluded to the exe>
cution of Mrs. Surratt, and the barbarous
conluct Of the War department on that
occasion, as follows
Mary Surratt was convicted, Of course.
She was tried by court martial. Her
immediate execution was ordered. She
entreated for four days to enable her to
overcome the shock and the better to pres
prae her soul to meet her Cod Not an
hoUr," thundered forth the voice from the
War Department; son with the gallows,
tne coffin, and the grave, the angels of
heaven shall not rejoice over this repent
ant sinner" Agents of mercy sought the
ear Of higher authority, and probably a
more merciful heart, but Preston King
was ianitOr that day, and they were ex-
cluded. Where is Preston King? Echo
answers, where? She was thus executed
speedily, and Notwithstanding application
had been made in behalf of her ferat-
broken daughter for her remains, so that
she might pour forth her sorrow, mingled
with the gratitude and love which daugh>
ter feels for beloved mother, over her
grave, those remains are still in keeping
OF the War Department. POntius Plate
delivered the body of Jesus to Joseph of
Arimathea, but worse than Pontius Pi-
late is here.
Is this secimcn Of Northern civiliza-
ton and Christianity? These things
were done by Northern mer without any
dcnunciation by the great Northern en-
lightencd, civilized Christian Republican
party. Not one word have Tread or heard
from your Phillipsos, your Beechers pour
Chcevers. your Greseys, or your strong
minded Massachusetts, women, in rcbuke
of these most demoralizing acts, and as
they touch upon everything which they
think vicious, they probably do not disap-
prove of these transactions as coming in
the way Of Christian advancement and
progress.

The Mystery of Sleep.

Twelve hundred millions of dreams make
a network of wild fancies nightly about
our planet. To 90, if it were possible,
through this world Of sleep, would be a
stranger process than that Of exploring the
whole waking world for in sleep every
living being is poet, from the baby that
clings in its dreams to the breast Of god>
desseS, to the centenarian who, with staff
and spectacles, hobbies about paradise at
the heels Of seraphs. Sleeping and waking
are the two great phenomenas Of our ex-
istcnce What is done and thought in the
everyday working world, where the ordi>
nary business of life is carried on, no liv>
ing creature has ever fully revealed to an
other. There ere reticences in the con>
fessions of the most frank, things which
cannot. and therefore which never win be
spoken-thoughts which transcend the
limits of language-hopes which the power
of no fairy could satisfy-fear which even
Lucifer himself would fail to exagcrate-
IF this portion of our life, which is at least
subjected to our own observation, cannot
be faithfully and fully described, still less
can that other portion which deGes even
our own scrutiny, converts us into mere
spectators Of ourselves, sets free our actions
from the control of cur will, and transforms
us into SO many passive spokes in the great
wheel of destiny. Whatever may be the
laws by which it is regulated, sleep pre-
sents the counterpart OF the waking world
