what They Say of Each other.

We clip the following from the Marys-
vile Appeal:
The man who says Johnscn's policy is the same
ms Lineoln's is an infamous dcfalner of the martyr
President.
And this is from the Oregon Statesman
of Feb. Goth:
Upon this question We think the President is
clearly in the right, supported by sl the prece-
dents, teaching and policy Of LincOln's admins
~tration.
The Appeal and Statesman are both
"Union" organs; both supported Lincoln
and both advocated the reelection of
Lincoln and the election of johnson last
year. They are still members of the same
Happy Family-and don't their respect
i've remarks above evidence this fact.

A SHAME.-The ever-infamous Gen.

The REAL RoGuEs.-In a late debate
in the Nevada Legislature upon a bill tt
prevent persons from carrying concealed
weapons, a loyal member declared tina
the citizens ought to be permitted tt
carry weapons to protect themselves from
the police in Virginia City, who, he said
were " the greatest thieves aud rascals il
the land" The city government is loyal
and appoint none but loyal policemen.

The CHANGE MosT NEEDED.-The
Washington papers say a movement is on
foot to purchase and furnish another
Presidential mansion. It is not a change
of location or building which is SC much
needed just now. It is a change of oc
cupants that the country would mos
gladly hail.

A Midnight Hymn.


. The authorship Of the following beauti'
ful hymn Of trust is unknown. II was
found treasured up in an humble cottage In
Englandi
In the mid silence Of the voicelesss night
When, chased by airy dreams, the slumbcrs
flee,
Whom in the darkness doth my spirit seek
o God but Thee2
And IL there Is weight upon my breast
Some vague impression of the day FORE
gone
Scarce knowing what IT is, fly to Thee
And lay itdown.
Or If IL be the heaviness that comes
In token of anticipated i'll,
My bosom takes no heed Of what II Is,
Since tbs Thy will
For O in spite Of past and present care,
Or anything beside, how joyfully
Passes that almost solitary hour,
My God, with Thee
More tranquil than the stiffness Of the
night
More peaceful than the silence Of that hour,
More blest than anything, my bosom lies
Beneath Thy power.
For what is there on earth that desire,
OF all that il can give or take from me?
Or whom in heaven doth my spirit seek,
o God but Thee7

gay time in Louisville, in which all
the inhabitants seemed to partici-
pate. hestores having been closed,
all business was suspended.
The procession halted in front of
the courthouse, and the distinguish
ed guests were escorted to Willard s
Hotel, directly opposite.
The stand was profusely adorned
with flags, and a motto was plainly
in view with the words "Hail to the
Chief"
Crowds Of ladies and gentlemen
were on the stand and balcony, pre-
senting a gay and animated scene,
while the streets were densely
crowded.
Hon. James Guthrie introduced
the President in complimentary
terms, bidding him a cordial vel

Restoration and Suffrage.

The position the United States of American
presents before the world must be one not
pleasant to contemplate by our friends who
in other nations are merely lockers on.
The United States, before mankind, claim to
present the capacity of man for self govern
ment; in order that this capacity in man
may find an opportunity for development, a
government was, by the consent of thess gov
erned, instituted and established repub-
iican In form; and certain powers wers dele
gated to that government in a written instru-
.ment called the constitution I; and all powers
not thus delegated it was expressly provided
should remain with the states and with the
people thereof.
When this government was established and
this constitution generally adopted as its fun
damental law, certain people were held in
slavery that is, they were recognized under
the laws of the confederation of states, in the
states, as chattles, property, subject person
ally to contract bargain and sale on the part
of the persons whom the law recognized as
their owners.
In the progress OF events certain states Ell
thee from moral. pecuniary or other causes,
released this class of p91sons from the condi-
ton OF servltude they had occupied, and they
were no longer subject to exception to equal
rights under the law. They could testify as
witnesses in the courts they could sue and be
sued. and make legal contracts, own property,
and carry on in their own names any bust
ness which any person who was formerly
their legal owner could undertake.
Soon it became . question Of interest to
