How TO SLEEP.--It is better, generally, to sleep on the back, but it is well to alternate, not always on the right,nor always on the left, but on both. The
 question is often put to us, "Why is my head lop-sided or larger on one side ?" It may be accounted for by always lying on one side. Young mothers are apt to place the child always in one position when putting it to bed, and the skull being soft and thin, the brain grows most on the under side, and finally assumes permanently this irregular and uneven shape. In cholera times, or when the bowels are cold, constipated, and inactive, it is well to lie on the belly, and thus keep the h",-"ls warn.--Phrenological Journal.

ax-gatherers were more merciless
than ever. For generations India has
been but field Of plumber to the
English officials, who have grown rich
off the exactions levied upon the peo-
pie. They are backed by a large
army and rule with absolute power.
An immense treasury IL at their com

that, with so much Of power to relieve
the sufferings of the people, SO little
has been done To us, who assemble
in the houses Of the Most High to
express our gratitude, and gather
around our tables to enjoy the boun-

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Nov. II, 1866 !
TO tie People Of Indiana: mt
In the discharge of what / believe
to be solemn duty, and in accord
ance with a proclamation issued by
the President of the United States, |
do hereby appoint 7hursdag The 10Th
Of THIS month, as day Of thanksgiv+
ing and prayer, and earnestly request
the people, laying aside their usual
avocations, to assemble at their ac-
customed places of worship, and re-
turn thanks to Almighty God for the
unnumbered blessings lie has be-
slowed upon our State, and Nation.
And while returning praise and
than ksgiving, let them pray for a con-
tinuance of His great mercies, and
that He will in an especial manner,
relieve and comfort those who are
yet in affection; that He will have in
His care and keeping the widows and
orphans, and the desolate and aged
parents, whose husbands, fathers and
sons have fallen in battle that our
country might live; that He will in
spire the nation to make ample provi,
sion for those gallant men, who by
reason of wounds and disease, con.
tracted in the service of their coun.
try' can not provide for themselves
that their last days may be pleasant
ana that they may not feel they have
served an ungrateful people; that He
will elevate and protect from oppres
sion the helpless people who were re.
Gently in bondage, and will put il into
the hearts of the people to grant 10
them justice and the equal protection
of the laws; that He will inspire with
wisdom the men who are invested
with the power of the Government
and who have in their hands the set
lement of the great questions which
yet distract and divide the Nation
and so order and direct, that thei:
measures may lead to peace, justice

in charge of the Government Printing
Office since its establishment until re-
Gently removed by the President, be-
cause of his steady attachment to the
principles of Republicanism. He was

worthy representative of Indiana at

to make 10 elective by Congress, and
restore him to the position which hs
has filed with so much satisfaction
and usefulness TO the Government.

The New Plank In the Democratic
.l~ srr as Platform. rf+ .1f

The Chicago Times, Of the 18th
inst, a noted Copperhead organ, and
one of the most devoted advocates
of the South in the late war, has the
following sensation article; aa .r
Can the Democratic party Bueceed until
the negro question shall be gotten out OF
the way7 II cannot. What next? Is not
negro suffrage inevitable2 and is IL not
the quickest way to get the negro question
out or the way, TO at once copcede the suf-
frage, making issue only TO the degree to
which 1t shall be conceded We know
that many Democrats have not reached
this advanced view of the case, and that
such still feet greatly inclined TO revolt at
the proposition OF negro suffrage In any
degree; but let us tell them 10 Is always
wise TO accept the inevitable when the In
eyitable comes. Negro suffrage, we say, Is
inevitable; and whether II shall be quail
fed or universal, depends upon the
promptpess or otherwise with which
the Democratic party shall move
with reference TO t. The South
win speedily yield qualified negro
suffrage upon the motion of the Demo-
cratic party, because, II for no other rea-
son, she win soon see, II she does not al
ready see, that II she do not yield she ulti-
mately viii be compelled to accept univer-
sal suffrage. Qualified negro suffrage
yielded by the South, and by this we mean
impartial suffrage, or suffrage dependent
upon the intelligence OF the man, irrespec-
tive of color, as is now the rule In Massa-
chusetts, the negro question will have been
disposed OF, and the occupation OF the
Northern Republican party win be gone
forever. II the South be wise II will not
wait on this suffrage question even for the
motion Of the Democratic party. II 1t be
wise It win lose no time in putting In mo-
tion the necessary machinery by which II
viii, az the same time, save Itself from
humiliation preserve It's own self-respect:
rid the country OF the most vexatious
question that ever distracted any country I;
kill the worst political party that ever ex4
listed on the globe, and put the Union In
the way Of speedy restoration;' this ma
ehinery consists, OF course, in Conventions
TO revive the State Consultations, %. a6ist

The Latest Phase.

The inevitable negro is still vexed
question in our national politics. But
like all other agitated questions, we
make progress in reference to it. We
publish in this mornings issue a let
ter from REAGAN of Texas, the Post
master General of the late 80 called, y
taking grounds in favor of giving the
negroes the right Of suffrage; and
also a noticeable article from that
virulent Copperhead newspaper, the
Chicago Times, coming out fairly and
squarely in favor of bestowing upon
the negroes the elective franchise,
and saying that such a result being
plainly inevitable, it is the duty and
policy Of the Democratic party to
adopt it as its platform, and thus
forever kill off the hated Repub-
lican party. Truly the world moves.
How rapidly are events following
upon the heels of ABRAHAM LIN
coins Proclamation OF Emancipation
The war has rendered that an accom-
plished fact, and the Constitutional
Amendment has engrafted it uponthe
fundamental law of the country. The
slave is free man before the Courts,
and in the civil walks Of life. The
Churches. Protestant and Catholic,
are vieing with each other in his edu-
cationo and eyangelization, regarding
him, they claim, as destined in the
fullest sense TO be a citizen of the Re-
public, and anxious to gather him
into the true fold" In our own
State our Black Laws areystruck from
the Constitution and the Statutes,
without murmur from any quarter,
In Massachusetts negroes are elected
to seats in the Legislature. And, to
cap the climax, rebel cabinet officers
and leading Copperhead papers are
calling loudly to complete the work
of enfranchisemeut by giving them
the right of suffrage. The posi-
ton of the Democracy on this
subject may lead the Republican
party to study carefully the effects
of such a policy upon the future of
its party and the country, before it
goes so far forward. But all these
new developments are facts worthy a
notation by the journalist and the
public. We make progress on this
vexed question whether into the
light, CT furthopninto the darkness,
the future will determine, But sure
it is, tho negro is no longer slave
but a ci.sizen. 1t looks as if the South
might be preparing to say that he
shall also be voter,
