The Joke of she Season.

One of the best things we have read since
our Columbia correspondent sent us de-
scription of a contraband wedding, isone of
a similar character described'by the local
of the Mobile Register and AdCTttser. 1t
appears that negro couple had been lv-
ing together for some years as man and
wife. but "widout de circumference OBJ de
lawr They disagreed, separated, and the
weaker vessel laid her case before ''de Bu-
reau." where the charges were heard, and
Sambo and his Dinah were sentenced to be
married. In order to be sure that the sem
tence was properly executed, the couple
were placed under military guard, aud
marched off to Squire Starr's office. Arriy-
ing there, the officer Of the guard remark
ed, Squire, here's a couple for you to
marry" a srau of f3lrs0 o.
"All right" replied the Justice; "just
step in the back room"
The couple and the officer followed him
to the room in rear of the front office, and
after explaining the duties and obligations
of married life, the squire requested them
to join hands. IA.
Bride-'I isn't gwine to do it. I doesn't
want to hab muffin to do wild dat nigger?iE
Groom" isn't 'ticular bout marryin'
wild de gal. nebber dubbed de wench." :" d.
This protest opened the squire's eyes like
" "two full moons in the harvest" He asked
what was the Ineanibg,of it, when the rep
resentative of the Bureau informed the
Justice that they were ordered by the
Freedmen's Court to be married, and he
came up to see the sentence executed. W.
With this understanding Justice Starr
told the "happy couple" to join hands,
which they did after much persuasion, and
the following scene ensued:
Justice" Do you take this man to be
your welded husband, to love, honor,
obey" &c. ,f...
Bride" No doesn't-not much doesn't
Il wouldn't hab four acre lot full OF sich
trash"
Freedmen's Bureau" Yes we do, Squire.
We take him-go on with the ceremony"
Justice-"And do you take this woman
to be your welded wife, to love, CHERISH"
&c. '.f
Groom-"I tole ye dat isn't 'ticular.
isn't hankerin' arter de crow l kin lib
without de ole gal"
Freedmen's Bureau" Certainly we take
her-Of course we do--suits us to a single
allspice. Hurry up the cakes"
Justire-"Then pronounce you all man
and wife, and may the Lord have mercy on
your souls"

.JoI,usOn Meeting,

On Saturday evening last, large number
of the Democrats Of Bucyrus met in the
Court House, for the purpose of indorsing
the late yetoes of President Johnson.
The meeting was organized by calling

ing Il. B. Finley, Secretary. .rl " --,

dressed the meeting briefly and to the point,

After the speeches the following resolr-
tions were read, and unanimously adopted,

ed in his 22d of February speech, delivered
at Washington, d. G.
RESOLVED, That as long as the President
continues in his present patriotic course, IN

every american citizen to render to him O
cordial and earnest support.

Negroes VS.. The Rureau.

A correspondent of the NaShuille Gazette,
who has made trip to Memphis, writes
that paper that in one of the counties south
of Nashville, an association is organized by
the negroes for the purpose of dispensing
with the services of the Bureau. The Pres
ident of the association is an intelligent and
pious man, and is inspiring confidence and
self-reliance among the darkies, which, it
is believed, will contribute more to their ele-
vation, improvement and independence than
all the Bur eaus in the land. They are be-
ginning to learn that the five dollars and a
half charged in some places by the officers
of the Bureau tor contracts, though paid by
the employer, somehow comes out of them
at last. They are beginning to learn, too,
that they can as safely trust the civil au-
thorities of the State, for the protection of
their rights, as the pets of the Bureau
They see, too, what an immense saving of
expense to the Government, and, by conse-
quence to themselves, ii the Bureau sys-
tenn were done away with; hence they are
against it-Macon (Ga) Journal and Mesaen-

Total No. DEL.

The great issue before the people is,
whether all the powers of Government
shall be concentrated in the hands of the
General Government-the States being re-
duced to the condition of counties-and
consolidated despotism be thereby estab-
lished;- or, whether those rights of local
selt-government which our fathers enjoy
ed and which we inherited from them, and
without which there can be no real liberty,
no wise government, no public economy,
no light taxation, shall be preserved
A powerful faction, represented by ma
jority in Congress, have conspired to over
throw the free and benefcent institutions
of our fathers, and to substitute therefor an
Oligarchy of privileged classes, crushing
the mass of the people and all individual
liberty, under the weight of despotic and
unrestricted General Government. To eff
feet thisobject, they, in plain violation of
the Constitution, exclude eleven States
from representation in Congress, and insist
upon comforting upon negroes the right
to vote-not out Of regard to the negro,
but because they expect to be able,
with their money, to control his vote, and
thereby perpetuate their party ascendency.
Let every man who is opposed to the
schemes of the conspirators, who cherishes
the institutions founded by our fathers,
who appreciates the necessity and benefits
of local self government, who is opposed to
seeing the great State of Ohio shorn of her
dignity and reduced to the dependent con-
dition of county, or who is opposed to
Negro Suffrage, join with the Democracy
in rescuing our country from the grasp of
the Malignants. s,. ...,.. ~,

ArricuI,ure in New Jersey.

The committee on Agriculture in the
New Jersey Legislature report that the i'm
proved farming landin the State is about
two million acres, while one million acres
remain 1lnimproved. The value of the
whole was one hundred and twenty million
dollars in 1850, and one hundred and eighty
millions in 1860; an increase of fifty per
cent. The cash value of the farms in 1850
averaged $43.T per acre, being SILLY above
the farms in any other State. In 1860, it
was $6040 per acre, an advance of thirty
eight per cent, and $23.40 per acre beyond
any other State. Much of this advance is
ascribed to the use of the green sand mari,
which is found in this State alone, as fer
tilizer. Owing to the use of this mari, lands
which thirty years ago were useless and
abandoned, are now teeming with abund-
ance, and its supply is inexhaustible.-N.

Negro Suffrage in Wisconsin.
From the Chicago Times ]

lfTOm INC OulCdsO LINUS i
The decision of the Supreme Court of
Wisconsin, declaring the negroes in that
State to be entitled to the privilege of vot-
ing, involves some novelties that should be
considered. In lS49 the Legislature of
Wisconsin submitted the question of Ne
gro Suffrage to the people, being empower
ed so to do by provision of the Constitu-
ton, which, having first confined the cleo
tive franchise to the white male citizens,
added the following proviso:
"Provided that the Legislature may at
any time extend by law the right of suf-
frage to persons not herein enumerated, but
no such law shall be in force until the same
shall have been submitted to vote of the
people, at a general election, and approved
by a majority of all the votes cast at such
election"
The vote on this question in that year
was, for Negro Suffrage, between five and
six thousand, and against it, between four
and five thousand. But only small por-
ton of the people voted on the question.
They rested 10 the confident belief that Ne
gro Suffrage could only be carried, as the
Constitution declared, 'by majority OF all
the votes cast in the election" SO the Gov
ernor and the State canvassers determined,
and so the people of the State believed un-
til three or four days ago, when the Su-
preme Court of Wisconsin determined
otherwise. 1t decided that to extend Me-
gro Suffrage under the provision we have
quoted, it was only necessary to obtain a
majority of the votes upon that single
question. So the construction which OBJ
tained and was enforced in the State for
seventeen years was reversed by the court.
Under the ruling of the court If but five
votes had been given for Negro Suffrage
and four againstit, the Constitution would
have been changed by those five votes,
though sixty-tive thousand were cast in
the election, and majority of all the votes
cast was required to extend the suffrage.
1t is possible that a strict. technical con-
struction will sustain the decision, but it Is
opposed TO the plain intent of the Consti-
tuition, Justice, common sense, and the con-
struction which had been enforced for so
greaf'a length ottime as of itself to become
q law. sQ ef ar1 l,il .f HtGer ur

The Ca1tle plague subsidine..

The London Daily NsaoS says:
"The last return issued by the veterinary
department of the Privy council gives sat
isfactory evidence that throughout the
country generally rinderpest is gradually
sdbsiding. The attacks which in the week
ending February II had risen to maximum
of 1900 cases, declined in the following
weeks to 10000, 1900, and $500 in last week
This last return, it is true, is hardly COM
parable with the others, as it is to some eX-
tent disturbed by the slaughtering which is
carried out under. the recent act. But the
previons weeks are unaffected thereby, for
as the disease always dormant dur
ing the incubative stage, which may be
nine or ten days more, it is quite clear that
its natural progress would be unchecked

sOn General Principles. >,

A letter from Postmaster Giffin, in re-
ply to an invitation from the Chairman to
attend the meeting held on Tuesday even
ing to indorse President Johnson's veto
messages, and his policy and efforts at re-
storing the Union, was read at said meeting,
in which he cOntemptuously declines to
meet with the present supporters of the
President. He thinks the Presidents rea-
sons in support of the veto are unsound, but
nevertheless he indorses the veto on "gen-
erdl principles" which we suppose means,
that as the general principles" OF the Alb
clifton party are and have been TO get Office,
and hold on to them as long as they can, he
will, on this general principle" support
the veto as long as he is permitted to hold
the postoflice.-N elodrk AdUocdte.

A NTystery i'm Albany.

Some two weeks since, a young lady OF
Albany, whose father Is engaged III mer-
camille business in that city, awoke from a
sleep feeling distressed and alarmed from
the effects of an unpleasant dream. The
gas was burning, but it had been turned
down to the closest point, thus making a
dim light in the room, and rendering pOr-
tions of it almost dark. Soon after awak-
ing, the young lady's attention was attract
ed to the well-deilned figure of lady of
her acquaintance moving from the door,
some ten feet from the foot of her bed, to-
ward it. Impulsively, she called the figure
by name, on the instant forgetting the i'm
probability of the friend being in the house,
and the fact that she was not resident OF
the city, but resided in st. Louis. Soon,
however, all this recurred to her, and the
figure already neared the now alarmed girl.
The form and features were perfect and
distinct, the expression one of cheering
greeting, and, as it approached closer and
closer to her side, it became DINNER and
DINNER, and finally disappeared entirely,
when it had advanced to about half the
length of the bed. The nervousness induced
by tfe incident, naturally enough, induced
the young lady to arouse the family, who
ascribed the matter to exciting imagina-
tions. But there is singular sequel. She
had forebodings, despite all that was said
to calm them, and the next day wrote her
friend, detailing the incident. An answer
was promptly received announcing the
good health OF the writer, aud the fact that
on the same night, and at the same hour,
she had been visited in precisely the same
manner by the semblance of her friend in
Albany, and been alarmed thereby, lest il
was the forerunner of evil. The mutual
revelation was relief to both. The cir
cumstance, we think, has few, if any par
allels, and can partially be ascribed to the
lOYe the two girls have for each other, ant
of nervous active temperaments. Butas tC
an entirely satisfactory explanation of it

The result shows that in every State in
which elections have thus far been held
there have been vast radical losses and
equally great Democratic gains. If Abo-

building of an ark. There is an impend-
ing cataclysm. Already the windows of
