Constitutional Amendment, ought Ar.

CcnstllutlonaI AmenuWent, OuSnt AZ
,,.t.r... kansas to adopt it!
An attempt is being made to create
the impression that the South will be com
PEELED to adopt the proposed amendment
TO the Federal Constitution. How sue
cessful this attempt may prove, ofcourse,
wecannot say, our opinion however,is that
-the South will not suffer herself to be
humbuggcd into any such insane meas
nre Those who urge its adoption at
temptt to induce the people to believe
that it does not necesstate negro suffrage
&c. Ii does seem to us. that no sane
man who can follow out logical argu-
ment and who knows the spirit and ten
per manifested by the people who now
rule their country, can be dcludcd into
sach belief by naked assertion and
lame oratory The South must adopt
negro suffrage, after the adoption of the
amendment or suffer her representation
in Congress to be so far diminished as to
put tho power into the hands of the Rad
icals to force it upon us by federal legis-
lation Think you the Radicals dare not
invade the power Of States so far as to do
this thing? Look at their reckless legis
lation, and what is there in all Oft to ils~
duce different conclusion. They have
not hesitated to invade the rights of Stat
cs whenever it become necessary to do so
in order to carry out any scheme desired
by them.
We belive the people of the South too
shrewd to be humbugged by the advocat-
cs of this ne farious amendment. The
news papers of the North, in the inter
osts Of the Radicals have for long time
been trying to convince the southern
people that they ought to adopt this
amendment and thereby secure admission,
like Tennessee, and so thwart the plans
Of these same Radical leaders. The late
elections in the North have entirely de-.
stroyed this argument for such it was
made, because these same papers said the
North would not adopt the amendment
and then it would be defeated and the
southern States admitted-and no consti
tutional amendment after all. This Huf
failed to have its desired effect, and now
they put it on the broad ground that the
South must adopt it and can't get rid of
it, and may as well take the bolus with a
good grace This is more honest if it
has not the credit of being ingenious
We trust however, that Arkansas at least
has elected men who have sense enough
to see through all this. The amendment
is a dead cock in the pit and no power
can resuscitate it. Let those who do not
desire negro equality look to it, that they
are not deluded by talk Time will prove
the truth Of what we now tell them. II
the proposed amendment is adopted, 1--WE
look upon nothing impossible now, We
will have negro suffrage in less than ten
years, and the negro will be no more en-
lightened then than now, and no more fit
for the exercise of the elective franchise.

with warm vinegar or brandy /; likewise
his hands and feet and pit of the stomach
with clear tar, or, if none can be had, with
strong brandy.
g. Let the patient take, in frequent and
small quantities, a warm and light infusion
of mint, or ofthe essence of mint, one or
two drops at a time, with sugar.
a. If there be no abatement of pain
or vomiting, q blister of mustard should
be applied to the pit Of the stomach,
IS. If all the same symptoms still con-
tinue, and the patient be of a strong con-
stitution, then apply leeches to the same
place, twelve to twenty for an adult, and
for children six to ten; but if of a weak
constitution, let no leeches be used with
out the advice of a physician.
&c. A warm bath, if ready and near,
may be used with benefit, otherwise a
vapour bath may be prepared at home,
thus Heat some stones or bricks, and
over them place a bedstead with a Melted
bottom, upon which let the patient be
stretched, well covered; then throw the
vinegar upon the hot stones, whence
steam will arise conducive to perspiration,
aided by the frictions, which must not be
discontinued. For want Of this vapour
bath, place around and in contact with
the patient bags of heated sand or ashes.
Obseryations.-During the present cpl
demic, M applications have been found
SO efficacious as strong frictions, either
with the naked hand, with a cloth, or
with a brush, using clean tar or some
other i%rritant. The essence of pepper
mint may be used more freely than here
tofore prescribed.
Great care must be observed during
convalescence, for the cholera is but too
often followed by typhus fever"

PLANS LATELY ADOPTED IN
RUSSIA FOR THE TREAT
MENT OF CHOLERA.
From the Times.

The following instructions concerning
the cholera were addressed 10 the coun-
try people in Russia by authority of the
government, and are worthy Of atten-
ton s.
1T has been remarked, that just be-
fore the appearance of the cholera In a
district the Inhabitants are troubled more
than usual by diarrhoeas and other COM
plants, trifing under ordinary circum-
stances, but which, in the presence of the
epidemic, are apt, if neglected, to dege-
nerate into real cholera cases.
1T is well known, from the experience
obtained in 1880 and 1881, that the cho-
lera ism itself generally not contagious,
but. that it may become SO, like some
other diseases, if many sick are kept
crowded together.
The cholera has been found to be
most destructive in villages situated on
low and marshy grounds, or near bogs
and stagnant pools, and particularly
where the inhabitants are confined with
in narrow space, and live unmindful Of
cleanliness.
1T has been further observed, that
those detected in spirits and easily alarm
ed are more subject to cholera than
those who live in confidence and are of
good courage.
THE preceding remarks having been
made, the following are the precautions
recommended for observance against
cholera s. at
ITO beware of catching cold, and par
ticularly TO protect the stomach from
cold, for which purpose to wear broad
belt of cloth or stout flannel upon the
skin around the waist not 10 lie upon
the bare ground, nor to sleep at night in
the open air. After sleep or hard labour,
when in Precipitation, to drink no water
or other beverage cold 10 drink no acid
beverage, and never much at a draught ;
to beware of all things of intoxication TO
use light food, and moderately ; to eat no
bread insuficiently baked, no crude We
getables, no unripe fruits, nor meat or
fish not perfectly fresh, and to abstain
from sailed meats and picked fish that
provoke thirst to keep the person and
the dwelling clean, and to allow of no
sinks close. to the honse, to admit no
poultry or animals within the house, and
to keep it airy by ventilation. Where
there are sick, Let not the place be crowded.
/ Notwithstanding the best precautions,
the cholera may at times break out. The
following are it's symptoms, and the treat
ment to be pursued with perseverance
and confidence - Asnea gHsst t.
"A person in good health may be sud-
denly attacked by cholera ; at first sick
ness, the eyesight dimmed, then, after a
SILVER and rumbling in the bowels, vom-
iting and purging, with acute pains below
the breast, under the ribs, and on the left
side, attended by quenchless thirst. If
the patient be not quickly suecoured,
cramps ensue in the legs and arms, which
become of icy GOODNESS, extreme weakness
comes on, and a deadly paleness 4; the
whole body becomes cold, then a hic-
cough, and other signs of approaching
death. se4sf a33 ttkf ae|aohW

There are not churches enough in Yorkshire,

whatever soft sounding name may be desired,
but 1t is slavery, as iniquitous and as unjust as
that of Barbary or South Carolina ten years
ago. Though Sa'an appear in the guise OF an
angel Of light, yet is he as evil and as power
ful as when his costume is the traditionary
hools and horns. Because human servitude Is
disguised, it is only the moIe dangerous, for
If it appears in its native hideousness, then
the Christian sentiment OF our country would
may be endured.
The action of the State Department in
protesting against the establishment of
peonage in Mexico; is proper. Is worthy of
free and liberty loving people but let charity
begin at home. Let us not only save Mexico
from such curse, but be careful that while
we are endeavorlng to cure another we get
not the disease ourselves. The cunning and
darkness with which the leaders of the late
insurgent States commenced their efforts,
would, had it been persevered In, have secured
their triumph. But drunken with their first
successes, they laid aside the veil of hui
mility, and claimed as a right what they
might have got by supplication. To-day we
see their designs, and warn our authorities
against them. We have guaranteed freedom
10 an ignorant and helpless people. Let us
make good our word, and not, having re-
deemed them from slavery, give them over to
the curse ofpeon servitude-having dragged
them from the jaws Of Charybdis, dash them
on the jutting OF rock Scylla.

Let Justice be Done

The recent conviction of young KETCHUM.
charged with the commission of a gigantic
crime, and the inconsiderable punishment
which jury of his countrymen have meted
out to him, indicates leniency upon the part
OF the people that is neither praiseworthy nor
commendable. We have arrived at a period
when unscrupulous rascals who have means
at their command, are licensed by law to act
almost without control and freed from any
responsibility. In the KEToHUM affair, fast
youth is permitted to peculate a vast sum
from his own father, and the offended law
visits upon him four years and six months:
while in neighboring city poor man, with
a family to support, was sentenced to the
county jail for eight months lor the frightful
crime Of appropriating haml In our own
city, young gentleman connected both with
the bar and the military service has been
twice convicted of manipulating bounty
papers to his own advantage, and twice par
doned; when every day the dock of the
Quarter Sessions is crowded with Door
wretches only guilty of taking felonlously-
something to eat There have been within
the past year or two immense bank defalca-
tions, frauds, and swindles in this city, that
have been most mysteriously covered I'D
One of the clerks OF prominent bank
departed the city, and, after being arrested,
his case has quietly subsidized, and sank from
public view. An officer Of one of our public
institutions takes out Of the vaults conside-
rable amount of coin, and the matter is hushed
up by his principal refunding the sum and
quashing indictments. A prominent broker
absconds with $4,000, and is never heard of
more.
These are few OF the delightful uncertain
ties of the law. If the poor go astray and are
overtaken in a fault, it is essentially important
that an example should be made, not in vim
dictive spirit, but for the benefit of others who
may contemplate treading like devious paths.
They are the Pariahs, the Ishmaels of society.
Their hand is against every mans, and every
mans hand is against theirs But if a kid
gloved and brown-stone scoundrel insinuates
his hand and abstracts from your safe the
hard earned results OF life of toll and indus
try, benevolent and magnanimous public
cretions, and charges the fault to an overflow
OF animal spirits. Not many years ago scion
of Kentucky murdered poor schoolmaster,
and Hardin county jury excused the unfor-
tunate act because MATT. WARD was a man
OF mettle and of fiery temperament.
The faith of the people is beginning to
wayer, and many are beginning to doubt
whether trial by jury is really public benefit
A rich rascal scarcely ever receives the Just
reward OF his guilt; there are too many loop
holes in the meshes OF the law through which
the most obese and bloated blackguard can
escape from punishment. There is great need
for an example, and we have an idea that a
million-dollar thief sent to the penitentiary
for twenty years would be more beneficial to
the morals of the community than the con-
viction iof a thousand shoplifteIs and pick
pockets who lack the wherewithal to make
their crimes appear venal.
