A MISTAKE BY RADICALS.
How n whole Colony Of Them Voted
the Conservative Ticket.
From the Sioux City dowa) Register.


A good joke is told of the manner in
which radical settlement in Cherokee
county came to vote the national union
ticket ut the recent election day. The
settlement is composed of New England
ers, men with Plymouth rock, blue
laws, Wendell Phillips, Horace Greeley,
and niger on the brain. There is bnt
one democrat in the settlement. By
some misadventure no radical tickets
were sent for the use of these adhercnts
of the God and humanity doctrine, Int
instead, they secured from one source
and another n good supply of national
union tickets. They were duly in
spected by the 'head men," and pro-
nounced the straight abolition ticket.
Accordingly the polls we're opened, each
descendant of the land Of Plymouth
Rock and wooden nutmegs marched up
and deposited his ballot, with a nasal
declaration that the settlement would
show by its vote that il regarded Andy
johnson asa traitor and cOpperhead.
The solitary democrat was q quiet, but
deeply interested witness of the progress
of the voting. When all of his radical
neighbors had voted, he walked up TO
the poll, and, with no effort TO conceal
the character Of his ballot, deposited a
National Union ticket. This act on his
part created comment among the RAIDS.
They knew that he was an outspoken,
steadfast Democrat that he had given
no evidence of design to abandon his
party; and they were about TO congratu-
late him upon his conversion to radical
ism, when it occurred TO some Of them
that something might be wrong; faint
glimmsring hogan 20 penetrate the
minds of the more acute ones that prob
ably they had been sold, and that, be-
fore formally receiving into their ranks
the reconstructed traitor" they had
better further investigate the character
of the ticket they had been voting. The
result of the investigation was the dis
covery that they had, by inadvertence,
been doing what they h2d never done
before-vOting National Union ticket
not sectional disunion ticket. Then
commenced scene of ofconfusion, Of cuss-
ing and discussion, Of fault-fnding and
accusation, which beggsrs description,
and in all of whieha strong nasal into
nation was perceptible. Each declared
that the other was 'dod blasted fnle,
and had orter kneowd better" aud each
vowed that "by Jerusalem il was pes
Ky shame and that he was real pat
eout.r The Democrat smiled audibly,
and warmly congratulated his neigh
bors upon their sudden and unanimous
conversion to sound political principles.

The Ma.saohu.et,s Liquor Case.


The case Of MAGUIRE, in error, VS.. the Com,
monwealth of Massachusetts, involving the
validity of the defense raised In behalf of the
liquor dealsrs-indicted under the prohibi.
tory law of that State, that their licenses
under the United States revenue laws are a
sufficient protoction-cameu up In the Supreme
Court this afternoon, Mr. CUSHING opening
for the plaintiff in error.
His first point was that q license had al
ways, from the time when English law be
gan to take form, been held to be an author
iEation.
He then passed to q consideration Of the
"saving clause in the revenue law; a "say.
ing clause, " he commended, could never be
SO construed as to work the defeat of the
whole law and If Massachusetts might, by
one prohibitory law, defeat the collection oil
n portion of the revenue, the eleven States to
which disloyalty is imputed may, by other
prOhibitory laws, defeat the collection of the
whole.
In dwelling upon the point, Mr.. CUSHING
made furious onslaught on the ghost of the
doctrine Of State rights.
The Revenue" argument put In by the
Massachusetts, rum interest to dodge tho
consequences Of violating the criminal laws
Of that State, will DO oyorthroWn easily. II

proNITY AND INDIeNIrY.

BIZ, Under the above head the New York Com
Rsereiai Adratiser, while II regrets the Presi-
dents speech Of tho 22d, proceeds to com
mont very Justly upon tho bad temper dis
played BY several prominent Journals as fol-
lows; .-..-, ......
We can but regret the terms with which 1t
is referred to by those Republican journals,
which do not approve Of the late veto mes
sage. Not satisfied with open charges of a
disgraceful nature, they deal largely in in
nuendO, which they cannot md dare not back
up by proof. There was no real reason for
any conflict between the President and the
majority In Congress. II his arguments are
weak, let them DO answered. If he yetoes
. law which he cannot approve, let them
frame law to which he will assent. But in
no event, for the honor and credit Of the
country, and for their own self.respeet, should
they indulge in the coarse and unseemly vi.
tuperation which ohsraoterize them. This
is a day when calm and dispassionate states.
manship is required, and when the terrible
evils Of war are to DO corrected.

sioner of the Freedmen's Bureau for the
States Of Kentucky and Tennessee, reports
to Maj. Gen. 0. o. HowARD, under date Of
Feb. IA, that no regrets his inability to re-
port the affairs of the Bureau as progressing
as favorably in Kentucky as in Tennessee.
The Freedmen Of the State kentucky are
very generally disposed to enter into labor
contracts for wages or a share of tho crop,
and most Of them prefer to remain in their
native State 10 emigrating elsewhere. On
the part Of large majority Of the whites he
believes that there Is an honest desire to ad.
just on fair basis, the new relations arts
ing from tho abolition of slavery but the
Bureau Is not popular institution among
them. They regard its presence among them
Us unauthorized, donOunce its officials as
usurpers and deSpots, and clamor for its i'm.
mediate removal from the State.
The opposition Of the State authorities, the
Commissioner states, has rendered IL difieuIt
TO conduct the bureau affairs In the stato
with that harmony and efficiency which have
elsewhere produced good results.
The Commissioner further says that the
5000 eOlored men who have served in the
army are. in many instances, scourged,
beaten, shot at, and driven from their homes
and families, and are likewise fined for hay.
