IF he CAN'T lie DID.-" Warrington, "
u newspaper correspondent, says: g Fan
cy twenty-five Thaddeus Steyenes in the
House of Representatives"
It can't be did, says an exchange The
devil has not hell-fre enough in the Ia
boratory of hell to manufacture twenty.
FIVE of them. Imagination fails to con.
ceive the possibility of twenty-five such
imps of damnation existing at one and
the same time. His duplicate has no ex-
istence-neither has Butler the Brute
Moxa the Rotten, or Brownlow the Loath
some.

"LoYAL." We like the great tory
word loyal. 1t is peculiarly characters
tic of and appropriate to the party which
claims and boasts of it. The tories of oul
Revolution were conspicously loyal, and il
is eminently just and proper and in accord
ance with the "eternal fitness of things,
that their children should be loyal and
denounce, as their parents did, patriots al
rebels and rebel sympathizers. Every
signer of the Declaration Of Independence
was disloyal-every tory who villifed
them was loyal. Every theft and traitor
in the country, from Butler to Avery, il
loyal. Have not the loyaHsts, with these
facts before them, a right to glory in then
loyalty?

GUILTY CoNscIENcE-A Manchester
paper tells story ola gentleman of that
city who had led a gay life during a some-
what protracted absence of his spouse.
The evening of her return he requested to
be awakened early next morning, which
she complied with, when the hour arriy-
ed, by shaking him soundly, exclaiming
& John, get up! it is daylight" els it?'
replied the husband, with a frightened
air. "Good gracious! People will see
me going away from here"

TuE MorE AND TnE BEAM.-Go,

THE MoFE AND THE BEAM-Gov-
ernor Bullock, of Massachusetts,, says the
New York Sunday Mercury, appointed a
commissioner named j. b. Hama very
proper name for a man to receive dis
tinction in Massachusetts, where such an
affection is entertained for his ancient
namesake and all the descendants of the
family-to examine into the subject of the
employment of children in the factories
of that State and he reports that their
condition. is infinitely worse than anything
reported of the condition of the darkies
prior to the proclamation Of Uncle Abe
and the opening Of the felicities of free
dom and gratuitous rations to the darkey.
Occasional glimses of this kind into the
peculiar institutions of Massachusetts,
show that woman-whipping and the en-
slavement and drudgery of childhood,
and other specimens of New England hu-
manitarianism, are fair samples of the
manner in which their philosophers Illus
trate their principles at home. They are
so busy evangelizing the South and ele
waiting the darkey, that the elevation oi
the white trash who keep her mills in
motion is of no possible Consequence.

THE MosT REspECTABLE.-We will
venture the assertion, without fear of con-
tradiction, says the Amandor Dispatch,
that the two buck negroes recently elected
tothe Massachusetts Legislature, were the
two most respectable candidates elected
on the rump ticket, although they could
not have had much self-respect, or they
never would have consented to become
the representatives ofsuch corrupt theiy-
ing party.

RADICAL LoGIc-The Radicals tell us
that the Southerners in the late war
fought to get out of the Union, and that
we fought to keep them in the Union,
that we whipped them, and therefore the
Southern States are out of the Union.

A Screw Loose. Somewhere.

On Friday night last, there was general Jail
Delivery in Edgefcld. One or two white men
and some ten or dozen negroes quietly walked
out of tho calaboosc, and betook themselves
whittier they would. Pour of them have siuce
been. apprehended and returned to. jail Three
or. four nonths.back, something Of thesame sort
occurred If wepre not mistaken, four men 'es-
capped at that time.
When We sny there is screw loose somewhere,
we hint at no dark thing, no mystery, no secret
but ON the contrary, at lock of vigilance lack Of
watohfulness, lack Of system.
In thcae days of vile disorder and lawlessness,
when women and children are not safe in their
beds at night it will never do to be emptying the
iaiIs. The great object should be to get them
fuller and fuller, and lock them still more tightly

HORSE CREEK BRIDoE.-Surely, the readers Of

editorials which appeared in that journal last
winter calling attention to the dilapidnted condi-
ton of Horse Creek Bridge, md urging upon
those charged with the management of the public
roads leading from thie city to tho Carolina Dis
tricls, the necessity of Immediately repairing both
roads ana bridge. Upto this time that appeal
has been, in the ears Of the said commissioners
ff there be such in existence3r as ga sounding
brass and tinkling cymbal." Mud excepted, the
roads continue just as they were then-broken
aud hard to travel; and the bridges, particularly
the ono most used-that over Horse Creek-has
grown worse by degrees and threateningly dan
