BILE tool Of the Radicals at best, merely for
petitioning for the restoration of the Leyee
Commissioners, heretofore displaced from
Office is removed by military order, and
THOMAS J. DURANT, is announced as Gov

and we lave no sympathy with the retiring
Governor, but OR heart bleeds for the poor
State whose rights and laws are so out
ragged.
AS the President restored the Commits
sioners, he must have disapproved of the
reasons which caused their removal, and it
now rests to be seen whether he will quietly
brook the direct insult which has been
given to bis authority and decision by the
General III command, in removing the chief
executive officer of State merely for
bringing to the notice of the President the
short comings of the General. We may
we'll ask, i'll the face of this unparalleled
conduct, that the Attorney General Will not
delay defining the duties and powers of the

New York, May IS.
To the Mayor and the City Connects Of Louis
riNe, Ky.
GENTLEMEN Il have received your very
kind invitation to be present, as one Of the
guests of the City of Louisville, at the IN
yelling of the statue of Mr.. Clay, on the
30th inst I have also received a snbse-
quent note from the Chairman of the
Committee of Arrangements, intimating
that rooms have been engaged for me and
my family, and urging, as reason for my
acceptance of this honor, that my exertions
in defence Of constitutional principles have
gained for me large share of the favor of
your people. This recognition, from men
to whom AIN personally a stranger, and
whose homes and daily walks are far off
from my own, has touched me deeply. It
gives me pain, you may we'll believe, to be
obliged to refuse the invitation for having
never been an aspirant for public office, /
have nothing to which to attribute your
Kindness but my adherence to those prin-
clples OF constitutional government of
which your departed statesman was q great
champion and exemplar. His public char
acter and career, from his first entrance in
to public life before the war of 1872, down
to the day of his death, ] have often stud
led, and have been accustomed to believe
that L understand them. In respect to the
nature of the Constitution of the United
States, the relations of the general govern
ment to the States, the limitations of it's
powers and the sources from which they
are derived, there never was any essential
difference between Mr.. Clay and the great
man from whom, as an humble pupil 1 de-
rived the immutable principles of our fun
damental law. Of both it may be, as it re-
peatedly has been, said, that if their lives
had been prolonged through another de-
cade, we never could have had the civil war
that has afflicted our country and it NAV
be added, that If the people of the United
States now fully understood their principles
and reverenced their teachings, the Union
would be at once restored without that VIC
latlon OF the maxims and that disregard of
the Interests Of constitutional liberty which
we have now SO much cause to deplore.
In doing honor to the memory Of Mr.
Clay, at this period of imminent peril to
our American institutions, you are render
ing true service to the hopes of all who
are struggling to preserve them. In every

ALesxOn for Dad.

An old gentleman farmer, who had two or three
very pretty daughters, was SO very anxious of his
charge That he would not permit them to keep
the company of young men. However, they ad-
opted the following experiment to enjoy the com
pany of their lovers, without the knowledge of
their father: r-r
After the old man had retired to rest, the girls
would hang sheet out Of the window, which
was quite distance from the ground, and the
beau would sieze hold of the sheet, and with the
assistance of his lady-love, who tugged Justify
ut the sheet above, would thus gain enterance.
But it so happened that one evening the girls
hung the sheet rather early, for the old gentle
man, by some i'll wind, was blown round the cor
ner, and spying the sheet, could not conjecture
the meaning Of its being there. He took hold
and endeavored to pull it down. The girls sup
posing it to be of their beaux, began to hoist
and did not discover their mistake until the head
Of the old man was level with the window-sill,
when one of them exclaimed:
"Oh, Lord it's dad !" and, letting go their hold,
seuse came the old man on the hard stones and
ground below, dslocating one Of his shoulders,
which convinced him that his efforts to make old
maids Of his daughters was not a matter SO easily
accomplished, and, withdrawing all opposition to
their keeping company, he was soon tather-iil-
law.

Luxembourg-Tow and Fortress

The effort of France to secure the annex alton
OF Luxembourg to its empire, which has caused a
speck Of war to arise between Louis Napoleon
and Prussia, has made the following description.
which we find in sn exchange, of some interest !:
The town of Luxembourg is the capital of the
Grand Duchy, and has a worldwide reputation
one of the strongest fortresses in Europe,
second only to Gibralter. It is divided into two
quarters, the latter Of which is two hundred feet
higher than the former resting on solid rock,
and accessible by steps and zigzag streets. This
rocky-cr is surrounded by massive wall. deep
bitches, and formidable outworks. The Grand
Duchy was divided by the treaty of 1914, part of
it going to Belgium, and part, containing the
town and fortress, to Holland The Dutch por-
ton formed the eleventh State of the Germanic
Confederation, and the fortress is consequently
held by German troops, which naturally enough
accounts for the opposition offered to the propos-
ed cession Part of this territory was in the hands
of the French from 1869 to TIA, and was called
French Luxembourg, but in the latter year it
passed into the hands of Austria, and was so held
until won back by the revolutionary armies of
France, to be lost, as We have stated, by the
treaty of 1914. Owing to the consolidation of
Prussia, the Emperor Of France is anxious to get
back this stronghold. ~

At letter from South Carolina, says: "The
