THE CASE AGAINST GEN. PALMER
Contrary to the hope we expressed recently,
we are panied to record that the Ken
lucky Court Of Appeals has actually rem
dered decision which is in effect equiva-
lent to declaration that Major Gen. John
Palmer committed felony while in COM
mand of the Department of Kentucky, by
aiding the escape of a fugitive slave.
Gen. Palmer had been indicted in the
Circuit Court of Jefferson county for the
alleged offense, but Judge tombstone, of
that Court, who seems to have possessed
more loyalty aad good sense than his
superiors of the Court Of Appeals, quashed
the indictment and dismissed the case, on
the ground that, as the adoption of the
Constitutional amendment had abolished
slavery, verdict Of guilty would not
authorize corSctiou any more than if the
statute under which Gen. Palmer was in
dicted were itself repealed. 1t is this de-
cisinn of Judge tombstone which the Court
of Appeals has set aside, reminding the
case back to the Lower Court for further
consideration.
Perhaps nothing ever better illustrated
the malignant spirit of Kentucky disloyal-
ty than the persistent keeping up Of this
stupid, absurd, unnecessary and impotent
suit Cincinnati Gazette.

HONE, SWEET HoME Home lit is the
paradise of Infancy, the tower of defence
to Youth, the retreat for Manhood, the
city of refuge for Old Age! Recollections
associations, cluster round ito, how
thickly! Enjoyments are tasted there whose
relish never dies from the memory. Al
fections spring and grow there, through
all the turns and overturns of life, and
which last on, stronger than death. The
thought of its early innocence has kindled
anew the fame ofvirtue- almost smothered
beneath heavy mass Of follies and crimes
The vision Of Home has come upon the
soul of him who was dying in foreign
land, and made him feel that he would die
willingly could be breathe his last breath
in the midst of the familiar looks aid tender
voices Of Home. The thought Of this one
spot has put a courage into the heart, a
power into the arm, that has driven back
the invader from the land or else led men,
freely, to moisten with their blood the soil
they could not save.

MASSACHUSETTS AND HER FACTORY OpER-
AT1vEs.-The State Commissioner to in
vestigate the subject of the employment
and education of children In the factories
of Massachusetts q. B. Ham, Esq., in an
address recently delivered, pescribed the
condition of affairs in regard to these iuven-
lie operatives as " dreadful" He said,
THE condition of some of the operativesis
as bad, if not worse, than formerly existed
among the slaves of the South" He spoke
OF the bad ventilation of some of the mills,
the early age at which children are placed
in them, the inadequate wages, their tgnor-
ance, and the necessity of reducing her
hours of labor in the factories Everybody
who knows anything about Southern sla-
very, knows that the slaves were we'll fed,
well clad, we'll houses, and that they were
not over-worked The condition of the
Juvenile operatives in the Massachusetts,
factories, as described by the State Com.
missioner, is infinitely worse than could
exist in any slave country, where with
out regard to considerations of humanity
the slave is valued as property. But these
are; white children, white Massachusetts
children, and as white people in Massachu-
setts are Of small account. we hear of no
excitement on the subject. If the scene of
this disgraceful inhumanity were laid in
the south, and the victims were colored
children, Massachusetts, wonld raise howl

The RoTHscHILDs AND THE CoTToN CRop.-
The Rothschilds recently wrote to this

possibly be procured of the probable yield
of cotton in the Southern States during thr
year 1866, aud received in reply. from Q
distinguished planter, that it would not ex
coed, under the most favorable circum
stances, over 100000 bales" The gentle
man who wrote this has since, in view Of
the depredations from the worms, havoc
from rust, and the scarcity of labor to pick
out The staple, reduced his estimate to
| 100000 bales Of which amount he does
not believe there will be 100000 bales
available for export. = dispatch to Phila

THAD. STEVENS PLAZA Washincto

THAD. STEVENS PLAN.--A Washington
dispatch of the llth, says:
1t is reported that Thad. Stevens has a
plan in regard to the President which will
be a little less abrupt than direct impeach-
nent-without previous investigation, and
which would preclude the possibility Of
instituting proceedingsl which upon trial
OF the case might fall. His plan is said to
be to appoint joint committee at the
opening of the coming session, exactly as
the joint committee on reconstruction was
appointed, whose duty it shall be to fully
investigate the course and conduct of Mr..
johnson and report to the two Houses
what action, if any,is demanded of Con-
gress by the facts elected.

influence over the minds of whole
family. Where it is found in the wife
and mother, you may observe kindness
and love predominating over the bad
feeling of natural. heart. Smiles,
kind words and looks characterize the
children, and peace andlove have their
dwelling there. Study to acquire and
retain sweet temper. 1t is more
valuable than gold, it rcaptivates more
than beauty, and to the close of life re-
tains all its freshness aud power.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. PRoNUNc1AMENro
The National Intelligencer, which is very
likely to know what is thought by the
Cabinet, says:
While we have no sympathy whatever
with Macmillan, and rejoice at the fail
ure of the French Emperor thus far to alb.
sorb the material resources Of Mexico for
his own advantage, yet we think grave
resolutions Of policy, on such important
matters as our relations with the French
in Mexico, should be announced by the de-
partment entrusted with our foreign rela.
tions. Further: The offensive terms used
in reference to Macmillan seem hardly to
be in keeping with the dignity Of the occa-
sion. -
Military officers should venture upon
these kind of denunciatory orders with
great caution. That is not their vocation.
They are not naturally distinguished for
their peculiar skill in diplomacy.

AFTER THE GUnLoT1NE.-Four men were
executed by the gullotine at Brest. The
evening before the execution every medical
man in Brest received at invitation from
DR.. Duval, Director Of the Board of Health
to meet him in the ampbitheatre Of the
hospital at six on the following morning.
Precisely at that hour all the men of science
belonging to that city assembled around
four dissecting tables covered by white
cloths. As the clock struck, the four cul-
prlts were ushered into eternity. At $40
the hostital van was seen to cross the court
of the Pupilles de la Marine at hand GAL
lop, and in a few seconds four lifeless trunks
were thrown on the dissecting tables, pre-
cisely eight minutes after they had ceased
to exist. The sight was indeed startling.
The bodies appeared sllrunk to the size Of
that of.a child-the neck utterly disappear
ed, and in its place a frightfhl, gaping
wound. Next to the bodies, rolled up in
napkins, were four liyid heads. The work
of dissecting commenced instantly. The
nerves. quiyered, and the flesh was still
warm. The continued contractability Of
the heart was. proved, as well as in the
anrta, where sensitiveness was extreme.
The contractability was manifested on
simply touching the part, land of,course was
still more apparent when subject to electric
currents. The muscular contraction was
so intense that. even after twenty minutes,
one of the doctors, on applying an electric
current, made the four heads grimace in the
most horrible manner A pencil was placed
between the teeth of one; it was bitten
through and smashed as through it had
been made Of glass.

In THE EMOTIONAL WAY.-Twas in the
close of a glorious Simmer day-the sun
was sitting behind a distant hog-pen-the
chickens were going to roost--the bullfrogs
were commencing their evening song-the
.pollywogs in their native mudpuddles were
preparing themselves for the shades of
night--when Sal and myself sat on an
Anticipated black log listening to the music
of nature, such as tree-toads, grunting pigs
and roosters, which was waited to our ears
by the gentle sephyrs signing among the
mullen stalks. The last lingering rays of
the sitting sun glanced from the bright
buttons Of a solitary horseman, and shone
from knothole full in Sal's face, dyeing
her hair with an orange peel hue, and show,
ing OFT my threadbare coat to bad ad-
vantage. &; vi .e
One of my arms was around SAILS waist :;
she was toying with my auburn locks of
jet blue; she was almost gone. and was
ditto. Shelooked like "a grasshopper dyeing
with the hfccups, and l felt like mud
turtle choking to death on Goldfish ball.
"Sal," says in voice as musical as
the notes of dying calf, will you have
me?"
She turned her eyes hcavenward, and
clasping me by the right hand, had an
attack of the heayes and blind staepers,
and with sigh that broke her shoestrings,
she said: So.
"Yes, my dear Jack" and threw herself
in my lap; and ! Rugged her till l broke
my suspenders,
Well, to make long story short; she
set the day: and we practised every night
for four weeks how we would walk into
the room to get married, till we got so we
could walk as graceful as couple of Mus
covite ducks. We were married, and my
