HOTEL CLERKs.-The San Francisco CORE
spondent of an interior paper writes thus of
hotel clerks and others in that city =" There is
one class of people in this town whom I vener-
ate for their great dignity l mean the hotel
clerks, more especially the first class hotel
clerks. l tell you hotel clerk is the embodi-
ment and concentration of dignity. If their
wealth is to be judged by their dignity, they
must each be possessed of several millions
apiece. Perhaps you are not aware what am
driving at Just 60 and ask one of these lodging
room potentates of the whereabouts of some
friend of yours who may be an inmate of the
house. Providing you Major General or n
Congressman you may receive satisfactory an

vague one. If Colonel, it may be necessary to
wait three or four minutes. If captain or a
Lieutenant, six or seven. If mere civilian

THE MISSION OF RADICALIsM.-Some two months
since Mr.. Highly made an able argument in the
House of Representatives one of the Consti'
tutional Amendments, which he closed in the
following words:
Mr.. Speaker, think the passage of this res
olution and the adoption of it by the States,
thereby making it portion of the Constitution,
will give power over these subjects. But, SIR,
it is no more than due and proper caution, In the
midst of the stirring events that we are living IN
now. in view of those which are past, that we
should hold the power which we possess here In
this legislative body to dicde this question for
ourselves, and in our own way, without execu-
tive dictation. And we hold this power If we in
sist as we have been insisting, that it shall
be decided by legislative action. We hold this
very subject of slavery that will grow up under
the exception to the late amendment entirely
within our power, and will be enabled to
Danish really and forever the institution of slave
ry from the limits of this country. And God
knows that is my hearts desire.
Mr.. Speaker, I trust that the wisdom of this
House will run in the same channel that it has
done heretofore and that the radicalsm that is
talked about here, and which is made use of on
ly as flimsy excuse by the enemies Of the coun-
try to stigmatize the very principles that were
held by the Thrty-Eigth Congress as the extreme
of the revolutionary doctrines of the day. hope
that that radicalism will continue. 1t is the on
ly straight forward way of dealing with the ques-
ton. If we stand firm in our adhesion to these
doctrines we shall be the conservators of the
rights of the people and the institutions of the
Country There will be no danger then, and no
doubt as to the successful termination of all our
troubles.

Should you ask us why this dunning,
Why these sad complaints and murmurs-
Who have read the paper weekly.
Read what they have never paid for,
Read with pleasnre and with profit,
Read of State affairs and prospects,
Read Of news both home and0oreigp.
Read the essays and the poems,
Full Of wisdom and instruction:
Read the fascinating stories
Faithfully inserted weekly.
Should you ask us why this dunning,
We should answer, we should tell you
FROM the grocer, and our butcher,
Prom Sam Taylor, paper maker,
From our iandlord-lots Of others,
From the man who takes the letters
With stamp from Uncle Samuel
Uncle Sam. the rowdies call him;
Prom them all there comes a message
Message kind, but firmly spoken,
Please to pay US what you owe u.s.,
Sad 1t is to hear such message
When our funds are all exhausted.
When the last "greenback has left US,
When the gold coin all has vanished,
Grne to pay the paper-maker,
Gone TO pay the toiling printer,
Gone to pay the landlord tribute,
Gone to pay the faithful mailer,
Gone to pay old Uncle Samuel;
Uncle Sam the rowdies call him.
Sad it Is to turn our ledger,
Turn the leaves of our old ledger,
Turn and what sums due us;
Due for years Of pleasant reading,
Due despite our patient waiting,
Due despite our constant dunning,
Due in sums from two to twenty.
Would you lift burden from us.
Would you drive q spectre from US
Would you taste pleasant slumber?
Would you have a quiet conscience.
Would you read paper paid for!
Send us payment-send us payment,
Send the payment that you owe us.

PRIVATE DISEASES IN MALES and lR
IRREGULARITIES IN FEMALES are the great
destroyers of health. They insiduously attack
the system and gradually undermine and destroy

lustre from the eye, the strength and vlgor from

can be seen in Scrofula, Consumption, Cripples,
the Idiotic, the Paralytic, the Insane, ETC.
There is no more terrible scourge to the human
race than those diseases arising from the con-
tamination of Venerial Poison. The mildest

Tennessee Giant.


II seems that Tennessee can boast oil
having produced the largest man who
has made his appearance under the
sun for years past The jackson Wing
of NJ lrch 3lst, says:
Our attention has been directed to q
statement going the rounds of the
newspapers, giving the weight Of fat
German, said 20 be the largest man in
the wCTld. lie weighed something
over FIVE hundred pounds.
Now we published, in 1851, the death
of Miles Darden, citizen of Hender.
son, in an adjoining county, in this
State We mentioned his weight al
the time of his death, which was so
enormous that the figures excited less
wonder than derision. At that time
politics ran very high, and editors
eagerly seized upon yerything out OF
which they could make a supposed or
real capital We remember that n
Democratic editor in Indiana copied
our article, and said that it was in
keeping with all Wing statements
not TO be credited. Now we know that
we can find one hundred citizens in
henderson county who will vouch for
the truth of the statement we are 60
ing to make, and at the risk of being
raked down by some incredulous RAD.
cal We will republish the substance OF
our former article. Miles Darden was.
beyond all question, the largest man
in the world, at least since the DAYS
there were giants in the land. His
height was seven feet six incbes-two
inches higher than Porter, the Ken
tucky giant His weight was a fraction
over one thousand pounds lie meas
ured around the waist six feet four
inches, and it took one hundred feet
of plank 10 make his coffin. lie was
30 years old when he died, fun of
humor and line sense, though very sen.
sitive on the subject OF corpulency.
We knew Mr. Darden fifteen years be.
fore his death. He then weighed only
400 pounds, but continued to increase
as he became older.

The Italian Parliament and Popery.
A stormy discussion took place in
the Italian Parliament on the oath ult,
growing out of murders, committed
upon the friends of protestant pastor
at Barletta, at the instigation of a Pa.
pist monk. 1t seems that a Protestant
minister has been settled for several
years past, st BaTletts, matchmaking
the Italians with the principles Of civil
and religious liberty established by the
Reformation, when his teachings were
suddenly denounced a. "heresy' by 3
fanstical monk, who worked 50 strong
ly upon the passions Of his auditors,
that they rushed TO the ministers
house for the purpose Of killing the
Protestant hereto. He was absent
from his home, but they found three
of his friends whom they murdered in
stantly, while other PrOtestants were
burnt alive in the public square.
Barletta, having been for long time
under King Bomba's rule, is Overrun
with priests who constantly fan the
flames of religious frenzy. Their full
limitations, apparently directed against
PTOtestants, are really intended 10
ALLEVIATE the people from Victor Eman-
ual and to conquer them for Pho Mono.
Upwards OF seventy persons were ar
rested by the authorities at BaTletta,
and we trust that the miserable monk
who is responsible for this bloody riot
Will be doomed 10 expiate his guilt on
the gallows. Intense excitement was
produced in Parliament by this tragical
event, and it is proposed to abrogate
the first article Of the Italian Consti-
tuition, which declares the Roman
Catholic faith TO be the State religion Of
Italy. The Minister of the Interior
contends that this provision has no
other practical effect than 10 cause Of
fetal religious ceremonies las for in
stance the marriage OF death of men,
bers of the royal family to be conduct
ed according 10 the rites of the Latin
Church.
1t is probable, however, that the
crime of the Barletta monk will eventu-
ely purge the Italian Constitution from
that provision, which though purely
nominal and limited to this narrow con
struction placed upon 1t by the Kings
Government, must yet be considered as
fatal clause, investing Roman Catho-
liciam with power IN the letter OF
the law which has altogether de
parted from it in the spirit Of the ma
tional institutions and the minds Of
the people.

The Cnse orIcn. Davis.


Hitherto the Chief Justice, adhering
closely to the maxim recognizing the
incompatibility of laws and arms has
refused to try jeff Davis in Virginia,
becauee it was under martial lawn a
state of war He held that he could
not properly be tried elsewhere, and
! since civil law was not the recognized
/ power in that State ne could not be
tried there. Therefore he could not be
! tried at all
In preferring TO try Davis in the
State of Virginia the Chief Justice was
quite right In an important trial for
treason, on which ali the legal talent
Of the country will be brought out,
every bubble and doubt that offers a
chance of escape will be tried to the
utmost We ought, therefore, on such
a trial, TO avoid as many dubious points
as we may; and it would consequently
be unwise TO bTinginto the trial of Mr..
Davis the question Of constructive pres
ence. The Supreme Court has once
declared that the man in any way con
nected with reasonable acts, however
remote he might be personally,
AAbAh AAAb HltA4t VI flDAEnitt was
guilty Of treason but this has
been held 10 be eXtrajudicial, because
the point ofpTesence was not before the
court when that declaration was made
IL is not by any means certain that the
point can be satisfactorily determined
in that way, and, therefore, it should
not be brought up. For this reason
| Chief Justice Chase was quite right in
desiring that jeff Davis should be tried
in Virginia Heshould be tried in Vir-
ginia, and he should be tried for levy
ing war at the battle of Bull Run lie
was present at that battle, was per
sonally on the field with Beauregard
and Joe Johnston while the battle was
at its height By trying him for that
we avoid the only really troublesome
point in such a trial.
What IS TO prevent his trial in that
State now Has not the state of af-
fairs recognized by the Presidents pro
olAmstion removed the whole difficult
typ There is peace in Virginia now,
and if the Chief Justice were sincere in
his objections, he must perceive that
they no longer have any basis Let
Davis be tried at once. If guilty OF
crime he should be punished; if not
guilty he should not be subjected 10
the lingering torture of imprisonment
and suspense-N T. Herald
