An Extraordinary wager and How il
Ended.
From Me PittsIlr0h Gasetie.


Peter Motts, the proprietor of a small
tobacco store in the Fifth ward, actua-
ted with lofty ambition, made a wager
OF forty-hve dollars with friend that
he could stand for twenty-four hours
on a pedestal before his own door. The
pedestal alluded to had Just been erect
cd for the purpose of putting thereon a
"poor INDIAN" and is about ten feet
high, and some ten inches square at
the summit. A little before seven
o'clock yesterday morning he assembled
70 bis perch, which is in full view of the
Union depot and the passing trains of
the Pennsylvaniar railroad, and, as NAV
we'll be supposed, he was surrounded
with a gaping, curious multitude, who
amused themselves by discussing
Motifs powers Ofendurance, and specu-
lating on the possibility of his being
able to remain posted for the time spe-
c1hed In the bet. Toward the afternoon
the excitement became intense, and
people hocked in crowds to see Motts
in his elevated position, until at nine
O'Clock lost evening an assemblage
numbering some 500 had collected
around the spot. At this iuncture the
police arrived with an order from the
Mayor for Motifs dethronement. and
he was accordingly taken down, much
to the disgust of his auditors. Money
to the amount of several hundred dol
lars was bet on the affair, which will
have now to be withdrawn.

Tm people of the United States con-
sumo a large quantity of whisky, if we
may Judge from the report of the Reves
nue. Commission, which estimates the
amount annually consumed at a gallon
and half for each man, woman and
child In the country. British America
is not far behind us, however, for it
consumes annually a gallon and a
quarter for each Of the population. In
Great Britain malt liquors prevail, for
the, people, whilst they consume only
seyen-eight of a gallon of whisky for
each one, drink an average of nearly a
barrel ofRle and beer apiece. Russia is
the greatest whisky drinking country,
the Consumption averaging more than

The constitutional Amendment.


The correspondence of the Rochester
Democrat, from Washington, speaks
doubtfully in relation to the passage OF
the Constitutional Amendment. 1t is
apprehended that there will not be a
quorum of the Legislature of Tennes-
see, and that there will be no ratifica-
ton by Arkansas this session. In the
loyal states doubts are expressed of
Illinois, several Union senators being
conservative" F
The Senate of Indiana is tie, which
will require the election of 1866 to dis
solve. New Jersey and Maryland are
declared to be doubtful; while Del
aware and Kentucky are sure against
ratification. Except in the latter two
states the lower House in every loyal
state is in favor of the amendment, the
trouble being in the Senate. This
leaves but nineteen states certain for
the ratification.
To counteract the operations for this
purpose, a movement is on foot to or
ganize thoroughly the Union party in
all the southern states. Governor
Hamilton has succeeded already with
the efortin Texas, where it polled about
The state of Virginia is about to be

MAJ. GEN. JOHN A. LOGAN adj ddressed
Onion meeting at Cairo, Illinois, on
the 2sth of June. He said that if loyal
men are not capable of administering
the government, it will be useless to
try traitors who still called treason re-
spectacle and not odious.
He believed it was sacred duty de-
volving upon every citizen of the Uni
ted States, to see that the national debt,
contracted in defending the country
against traitors, shall be paid to thela
dime; that the government should most
emPhatically ignore all debts contract
ed by traitors for its own destruction.
Some of the officers of the Freed
mems Bureau might be unfaithfully re-
creant to the trust reposed in them, as
well as other officers of the government,
but the idea of ofputting a shield between
the late slave and the late master was
a correct one, apd the southern obiec-
ton to this bureau is evidence thatthey
wished to re-establish slavery even
upon better terms than existed before
the Shareholders war.
The civil rights bill was neither more
nor less than sort of reconstruction
bureau bill.
4ue MOuEOe uOCJrl0e nau become SO
we'll recognized and established, even
with European monarchies, that it was
simply cowardice on the part of the
United States to oallow European mon
archy to be established upon our sister
republic of Mexico.
He could not for the life of him see
any good reason for being SO particu-
larly enthusiastic in enforcing the neu-
trality laws of 1918, since England has
proved that she did not care straw for
them when it was not for her interest
to do so. IF the Irish Fenians wish to
achieve Irish nationality and indepen-
dence, in Gods name throw no obsta-
Gle in their way; but Irishmen must
not forget that to deserve American
sympathy and assistance, they must
act with the party in favor of universal
liberty.
The proposed amendment to the Con-
stitution was all right, because if loyal
men who have never faltered in their
attachment and devotion to free the
Government, cannot properly admins
ter the Government, traitors need not
try, and are not entitled to any in
creased representation in the Govern
ment which they tried hard to destroy.
1t has been said treason must be made
odions and traitors must be punished;
consequently, we cannot afford re-
ward for treason. a.
