JONI CLIFToy, mulatto, and his wife,
white woman. are still confined in the
Louisville wor% house for living togeth
ell as man and wife. The marriage IL
cense was pro tuced in the City Court
day before vest erdsy, but their discharge
was refused. their attorney then ap
piled to Judge Ballard, of the United
States District Court, for a writ Of ha
beat co,pusin the case, laying the papers
before the Court. The Judge, upon look
ing into the case, thought that he had no
Jurisdiction over it. In case the writ is
not allowed op account of the Court not
having jurisdiction, it will be carried
before the Court of Common Pleas. The
point which W IL be decided in this case
is: Are persons who have been legally
married in Ohio, legally married on re-
moving to Ken ,ucky, where the statute
prohibits their cohabiting together !"

How ~ Works.

TIE Democratic party learned some
lessons from the radicals ducing The past
five years which will not be easily for
.atten, and the radical party cannot
complain if those teachings are some
times put il practice TO lis own dlSad-
vantage. An instance Of this kind has
RECENTLY occurred.
On the morning Of TIC groac National
Uaion meeting IL Cumberland, Mary
land, the CiriliaR and Telegraph, radi-
Cal weekly newspaper published III that
place, contained = most sodTrilous, gross
and unjustifalle assault upon the char
acter Of the ladies' aud gentlemen who
were expected % participate IL the OK
egcises Of the day. The language used
went far beyond what might be excused
upon the ground Of political antagonism
and amounted 20 g,oss personal insult
to every conservative person IN the COM
munlty Outraged beyond endurance
party o. ggu-leMg4 went 10 the Office
and demanded . retIacuon Of the ca,Um-

a manner that t4e scgiyb!ey Thought it
best to comply. Tie retfaytiou was

A Few Words Abou, Federal onicc-.

Our neighbor is wonderfully shocked
because the President, in the ,vrlasc Of
his legal presogetive, is turning ont of
official position men who are continually
defaming him and using the oppor,uui-
ties their Offices afford to thwart the
wise policy he is striving TO pursue
There Is something very childish in these
winnings over the discharge Of officers
who long since ceased 10 ala the Pies;
dent in the restoration of tie Union and
have been doing al they could to fpr-
ther rhe schemes of his enemies. presi-
dent JOHNSON has mark d ou5 line OF
administrative policy which he firmly
believes to be the best for the nation az
large. He is naturally DESTROYS of max.
ing this policy successful, He has staked
everything upon the issue aud is bound
TO omit N" effort that can contIibate TO
the success of the measures he has es.

poused. 1t is not only his right but his
duty, to so dispose of his executive
patronage that the officers of the
Federal government will aid him
in the great work in which he rs
engaged. No sane man should
expect him to retain his enemies in posi-
tions in which they can do and are dong
him harm. Such thing was never
thought ofin formeradministratlons, and,
in proportion as the success OF Preslaeh'
IouSsoN's restoration policy is of greater
inheritance to the country than any po-
Gtical measure ever heretofore proposed
by so much the more is it important that
the offices of the Federal Government
Do in the hands Of the friends Of that
policy. Heretofore, when oficelolders
ceased to endorse the policy OF the al
miuistration, they generally had honor
enough to resign. But now they abuse
the President, ally themselves with his
enemies, oppose the measures which he
considers most vital to the interests OF
the country, and even use their official
positions in aid of that opposition and
then raiso a most dismal howl when
they are removed from Office. Such a
course is disgusting to all honorable or
sensible men, and the sooner the radical
Journals "dry up" in relation to this
matter and submit with something like
decent grace to what is inevitable and
plainly right, the better it will be for
their credit.

Song of the Dying.

Disease had we'll nigh done its work /;
the flame but glimmered in the socket;
one moment more and it would be out.
The dying girl called, by her waving hand,
her sister to her, and family breathed
forth the wish that she would sing-sing
some sweet melody-that she might leave
earth with the tones of inspiring music
lingering on her ear. And what, dear
sister, would you choose for me to sing"
"Sng, Harriet, my favorte-I leave
earth willingly" said the dying girl. The
girl we'll knew her choice, and she sat
down to the instrument and brought forth
its soft, sweetest tones they were, in
deed, born of heaven, and never had
music a holier influence than when
it breathed forth the elevated
thoughts Of o dying one-dying
in the beauty of her youth, and yet will
ling to depart, We looked on her with
sweet awe; we felt that We were in the
presence Of being of the other world,
who was soon to know the mystery of
death. What calm and beautiful ex-
preston was on her countenance What
a glow was on her cheek and brilliancy
in her eye, as the notes OF the favored
song rose sweet aud clear, and seemed
to float around the couch of the dying
Oh is not that religion worth pos
sessing that enabled her to wear heav-
enly smile at the last moment, and
show that she felt the words that we're
uttered though she could not speak
them And she died as the sister re-
peated:
II would not live always. away from my God,
Skas ffaN yaE hesven, Ehat blissiui 9bode."
There was much to wean thee away,
fair sister of the gentle speech and tea,
der eye Storm after storm" did in
deed i"rise dark o'er thy way" and
heaven was fairer to thee than earth,
And when the pale congqeror p9neth TO
hear mo from this shadow world, may
ihy sweet cheerlumess be mine, and some
gentle one sing me to deaths sleep as
thou vert Sweet sister We part from
earth melodies, for the nproF and nobler
AafIaoaiss OF heavenl The strains that
greet US as we linger on the shores of
mortality are not the last, for there are

awaits Us all, and everlasting songs will
be sung to the praise Of our Father aud

The Methodist Preacher.

The New Orleans Commercial says
we admire the itinerant Methodist
preacher, for, as we have known him, he
is one of the most selfsacrificing NOR
tails that ever attempted to make people
better. He travels day and night. in all
kinds sf weather, without hope of gain,
and under lofty inspiration. His ap-
pointments are made weeks ahead in
churches, in private houses, in cabins, in
the woods. His congregation may be
great or small, yet there he stands at the
elected hour with his worn Bible, his
threadbare suit, his calm countenance,
and his unbroken faith. Ii the congre-
CATION is great, he pours out his soul in
the sermon which he delivers, and the
earnest prayer he. utters; ifthere are only
three faithful attendants, he gives the
same labor. No faithlessness of the
multitude deters him, no ovation makes
him a different man. Simple, devout,
child-like and hopeful, he loves the
church, and declares its doctrines.
In this respect the Catholics alone
resemble the Methodist, and Loyala
was the author of the movement
which sent pious priests out
into all the world. These two churches,
the most actively opposed, are the great
workers in the religious field, and the
Catholics have been gaining ground on
their rivals for the last few years, The
Methodists have declined from their
great work, but they must wake up. Bas-
com and Matiit are no longer alive to stir
up religious tervor, but they must hunt
up new standard bearers. Let them
bring out their good lights and set them
before the people. Let them organize
their quarterly meetings, their protracted
meetings, where the people come to the
altar by the score. Let the woods re-
sound with the grand melody of their
hymns, where thousand voices sing
hozannas. We want new revival which
shall make the people hopeful and cheer
full. The Methodists can fill this bill,
and they can also revive the church.
Their old rivals, the Catholics, will over
run them if they don't do something

till the tears ran down my cheeks,
hoping the audience would mistake my

we're much too discerning for that. A

and ironical appliance. "
