Tar clerk Of the steamer Lucy Bgrtram,
last week, stSt Louis, seized the wife of a
German named WERNER as security for

out money.
The Memphis papers unite In condemn
ing, as without the usual palliation claimed
for the violence and lawlessness of mobs,
the burning of churches, school houses and
shanties on Wednesday night belonging to
the negroes.

Miss ADAH IsAAcs MENKIN is spoken of
as deficient in all the elements of good
actress, and that her attractions consist
solely in the liberal display of beautiful
physical proportions. She is now drawing
crowded houses at the Broadway Theater,
New York.
LESLIE COMBS, who has not heretofore CO.
incided with Judge DUvALL in all his po-
ltical views, will give to that gentleman
his cheerful support for the office of the
Clerk of the Court of Appeals for Kentucky,
to which he was recently nominated by the
Louisville Convention.
Mr.. EMERY, Postmaster at Peoria, llli-
nois, and editor of the Transcript, Radical
concern, by request of the President, is to
retire from the Postoffice-an arrangement
which will enable him to traduce the Pres
ident with perfect looseness.

THE Ne,o York Herald says that city on

alarm over the first case of cholera in that
city, and the next day everybody was jok-

A REPUBLICAN journal has wisely come
to the conclusion, that so long as injudi-
cious persons will endeavor to place the
white and black races in this country on an
equality, just so long will the "irrepressible
conflict" rage between them. 1t is about
time other people were coming to the same
conclusion.
The South Carolina Leader, the organ of
the colored people of South Carolina, urges
the colored people to beware of the false
teachers who come among them, clothed in
sleeps clothing. 1t claims that their busi-
ness is to widen the breach already exist
ing between the whites and blacks in that
State. Sensible.
In referring to Secretary STANToN's de-
fection from the Radicals the New York
Herald says his principles may be patriot
ic, or they may not be; but that "whatever
they may be, when STANTON abandons his
party worshipers of the Radical camp, we
are safe in the conclusion that they are
weighed in the balance and found wanting;
that they are near the end of their reign,
and that their kingdom is already divided
among the Swedes and Persians."
THE Springfield Republican, an able and
quite reasonable New England Republican
journal, don't like the committee of Fit
teens reported amendments to the Consti-
tuition. 1t looks upon them as a scheme to
prevent the Southern States from voting at
the next Presidential election. Why the
legitimacy of the State Governments should
be recognized so fara to invite them to act
on constitutional amendments-the exer-
else of the highest functions of citizens
and States-and yet be denied voice in
minor matters wherein they are concerned,
is to it irreconcilable on any grounds of
justice or propriety.
