following amusing description of "the

When the doors were closed upon the

manner for awhile, breaking up finally

Very soon little parties scudded away,
hurriedly, and it became known that there
was sort of Pisgah in one of the Clerks
rooms, from which view of the promised
land in the Hall of the House could be had,
through two intervening windows. Join.

Legally speaking, emancipation is COM
pfetei The abolition of slavery has
been placed beyond peradvehtere by en-
acting it as part of the national constitul
ton, andshe Slave now bFeathes in the
United States. But our duty to the freed
men does not stop, with emancipating
them. Unless we follow them, protect
them, and allow them civil rights, their
freedom is but nominal. The Southern
mind was and is totally and utterly at
war with the ideas on which emancipation
was declared, and hence the status of the
freedman must be defined, established and
indefeasibly maintained by the National
brain and arm. In our Judgment it Is far
more sensible to go back, repeal tho con-
stitutional amendment and re-establish
chattel bondage, re-enacting fugitive slave
laws and pledging army and navy to their
enforcement at all hazards, than now to
leave the freedmen to the disposition OF
Southern Legislatufes. The actual treat
ment he is daily receiving, the almost uni
versal denial of his willingness or capacity
for anything but compelled labor, and
the laws made and executed, rendering
him in MANY instances nothing but the
States chattel-serf instead of the individ-
uals, are most sad and weighty proof of
this. In emancipation We undertook a
stupendous work now on our hands, and it is
not to be, after its incipient stage, remitted
to those whose inborn character makes it
impossible for them to carry forward the
vast task if they would, and unwilling to
do it if they could. The ex-slave is the
nations ward, to whom the ex-fnasters are
natural enemies, and It were infinitely
better that the nation had never created
this wardship than now to. deliver him to
the tender mercies of people who leok
upon him as SO much property of which
they have been robbed.

ing: .s.s 4s7
a Mrs. Rowland, who has long been .
resident of this county, and who has been
hopelessly insane for nearly thirty years,
was sent fer by her husband in California
Accompanied by daughter-inlaw, they
left here and proceeded on the journey by
steamer. When out about four days from
New York a violent storm arose, which
lasted three days, seriously threatening
the destruction Of the steamer and ali on
board. When, however, the storm abated,
what was the surprise and delight of the
daughter to find that the old lady had sud-
denly recovered her mind and was per-
feetly sane, though she was at aaloss to
know how she was in the place, and under
the circumstances she found herself on
awakening fsom such a long sleep of the
intellectual faculties. On arriving at San
Francisco, what was the astonishment of
her husband to meet her whom be had not
seen for nine years, and whom he deemed
hopelessly maniac, sound and well, and
joyfully recognizing him. This was a
year ago. Letters recently received by
her friends here state thatt has been
no return of the disease whatever, and that
she is well and entirely cured.

s'The POstmasterfaI Department. of
- the Herald,

We are seriously concerned, for fear
that our neighbor of the LEADER will ex-
plode torpedo under the Postmasterial
department of the Herald which may
cause immense CONSERVATION in the dress
circle and amazement in the galleries
An unprejudiced observer will note that
there are some signs of trepidation about
the Herald. The Postmaster has been on
weary pilgrimage to Washington, and
the LEADER, no doubt, only awaits his re-
turn to harpoon the gentleman, who it de
clares has attempted to "abridge the free
dom of the press" IF the LEADER is
right in this particular, we call upon it, in
the name of the Plain Dealer, always in
favor of freedom of speech and of the
press, to vindicate the rights of the third
estate.-PLaiH Dealer.
Whether the Plain Dealer is "seriously
concefned for "the freedom of tie
press,p or is merely exercising its garru-
ious propensities, matters not. We have
only to state that nothing more serious
! awaits the Postmaster of the Herald, on
his return from his weary pilgrimage to
Washington than an official investiga-
ton into his conduct. Wesome days since
published an official Communication from
the Postofice Department, announcing
the fact that Postmaster Benedict had
