The ADVICE to the Southern people, to sub

The ADVICE to the Southern people, to sub-
NIT to the Reconstruction Military act, seems
to US, entirely superauous. Have they not
submitted? Who resists-who threatens TO
resist who talks about resisting? The old
taunt of submission which the Conserya-
tives, in Virginia, before the war, 50 indg-
nantly repealed, and during the wal proved was
not applicable to them, when their State took
its stands now no taunt at all. Every BODY
is now, in one sense submissionist -(even
those who were foremost and loudest in favor
Of secession)-an ayowea 'submlssouist by
submitting to the law of force and necessity.
This reiterated advice, them to which we re-
fer, would seem to be urged for some ulterior
purpose! Is it supposed that new definition

Peace Advocate Advocate Of Peace-an
exposition of the American Peace Society-a
remedy for war, c., &c., all printed In Bos-
ton We expended our strength on that sub
iect, previous to the late war. Eihu Burritt,
and our old friends, the Society of Friends,

from Boston, they may be circulated at home
Peace precepts and doctrines are much wanted

besides using gunpowder. War can be waged
against justice, and reason, and good sense !;
against mind, and heart, and natural feelings.

licose propensities towards an unarmed, crush

that, inasmuch as creditors, whose claims have

THE INDEPENDENT ORDER OF TEMPER
ANCE UTopIANs. This is the name of a
new ordoc just springing ur, and whose
declaration of principle commcnds itself to
us very strongly.
There are three other orders of Temper
ance in existence, but the main features OF
all are the same. Each and every one OF
them require Of the Tember to abstain
during life from the use Of spirituous, al
coholic or malt liquors, wine or cider This
new order proposes, and we think with
much reason, to modify this in such a man
ner as to require an oath to abstain from
alcoholic liquors during connection Nith The
order; leaving one free to use the mild
stimulaut that exhausted human nature
sometimes requiras. For instance, cider
and malt liquors are not prohibit. This,
we think, is founded on common sense, and
is consonant to human experience
Another important provision is that girls
and boys OF twelve years of age and up
ward are eligible to membership; and this
on the ground that habits of intomperance
are usually formed in the ''teens.
This order also gives woman her proper
position. She is invtad to full member
ship, aud her powerful influence is CRATE
fully acknowledged
There are many other distinctive points
of importance that we would like to notice,
but will not do so at present. We will say
in conclusion that we feel conf lent that
this movement will commend itself to every
one who may read the circular lately put
forth by this Societ-. Intcrnation in re-
gard to this matter can be obtained from

The intermarriago of American with Euro
pens, is the subject of remark of the Paris
correspondent Of the Baltimore Gazette, as
follows:
American widows are in decided demand
on the continent, as is evinced by the nu
merous matrimonial alliances contracted by
them. 1t is but few weeks since the at
tractive widow of a Northern Brigadier-
general, kiledln the late war, was led to the
alter by distinguished Irish commoner,
though she had declared her intention
when coming abroad to captivate an English
duke and nothing less. She sould not, how
ever Withstand the Irish tlarney. but sur
rendered to Dublin squire. More recently,
the beautiful Mrs. Hewitt, of Louisiana
has give her hand to Polish gentleman,
citizen Of New York. temporarily residid
in Paris. The marriage was celebrated at
the American Embassy, and afterwards at
the Chapel Marbeauf, from whence the bri.
dal party, with THAR friends, adjourned to
dejuaer at their handsome new apartments
in the Champs Eysees. Other fair widows
are reported land include in the number a
young and interesting lady from the Monu.
mental City who is about to be welded to
an officer OF the English navy J as upon the
high road to second state of matrimony,
while young American maidens are COM
planning of the scarcity Of beaux, and ma
ny of them declare Paris to be stripped
from the want of eligible young men to tlirt
with or marry. These all echo Mr.. Wei
ler's advice to his son Samuel, when he
bids him beware Of the widders.

Congress and the Constitution,

The following plain and concise arraign
mont of the Radical party for ITS rockies
violations of the Constitution, we cut from
the Pittsburgh Post. 1t hits the nail OF
the head every time:
The Constitution says the House Of Rep
resentatives shall he composed of members
chosen by the people of the sevrral States
Congress says it shall be composed oI
members from such States as it pleases.
The Constitution says that Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georg.
ia shall be entitled to choose members Of
Congress.
Congress says they shall do no such
thing
The Constitution says the Senate shall be
composed of two Senators from each State.
Congress says ten States shall have no
Senators whatever, and that Maryland shall
have but one.
The Constitution says the trial of all
| crimes, except in cases of impeachment,
shall be by Jury.
Congress says they shall be by n Briga-
dier General of the Regular Army, or by a
subordinate by him selected.
The Constitution says that the powers
not delegated to the United States by that
instrument, are reserved to the States re-
spectively or to the people.
Congress claims all power exercised by
the British Parliament, and denies that the
States or the people have any:
The Constitution says that no State with
out its consent shall be deprived of its equal
suffrage in the Senate.
Congress deprives ten States of their en-
tire representation, and one State of one
half.
The Constitution says the United States
shall guarantee to each State Republican
form of government.
Congress guarantees to ten States Mill.
tary government, and enforces it by the
bayonets of regular troops--negro as we |
as white.
The Constitution says that those aualif-
ed in each State by the laws thereof, to
vote for members of the State Legislature,
she'll elect members of Congress.
Congress says, in ten States, negroes shall
vote, and that those entitled to vote by the
laws OF those States, shall not; and threat
ems to pass an edict enabling negroes to
vote here, for the purpose of adding 49,
900 or 20 600 to the Radical vote.
Such are some of the issues between Con
gress and the Constitution, upon which the
people are called to pass at the approach
ing election; they are issues so plain that
they cannot be misunderstood, and however
false reasoning. or an affected horror of
suppressed rebellion may attempt to mys-
tify the public mind, no honest man can
fail to see the dangers which thre"ten US,
unless the career of Congress should be
checked by the decision of the people at
the polls.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Chicago Re
publican says Of the present attitude of the
Sioux tribes:
The young men and the young chiefs
and they are the most infuential-says that
there is nothing for them to do but to fight
until the whites consent to let them alone
where they are, and to keep out of what
they claim as their country. The old men,
and all of the older chiefs, are desirous to
prevent war; indeed, they have taken, in
some cases, extreme measures to keep the
young men from going out in war parties.
These old men, in times past, have felt anc
know the power Of the Government and be-
lieve that in the extreme case their people
will be exterminated by the whites; but the
experience of the younger ones has not
taught them this, as since that time they
have almost invariably beaten tho troops

A Queer SWiDdle.

The Alliance (Ohio) Monitor gives an ac
count OF dream and its fulillment: The
following story was related to US the other
day by a gentleman ofknown veracity, whu
vouches for its truth: Some time durins
last summer stranger stopped at farm
house in Paris Township, this county, anC
asked permission 10 stay over night, which
was res Ally granted by the hospltabe far
mer. A couple of hours after retiring
for the night, the stranger was taken

days was apparently deranged. On his re,

illness he had dreamed three nights in sue.

earthen crock containing large amount Of
silver. AT this :he old gentleman express
ed surprise, and spoke of it as being a very
mysterious dream. Afterward, however,
they were walking together in that direction,
and the dream was again adverted to by the
stranger. An examination was at once pro-
posed by the farmer, to satisfy their curio.
sity.
The roak was soon found, and after brush
ing the leaves carefully away, it was remov.
ed, and to their utter amazment, there set
a crock full of silver. They took it out and
conveyed it secretly to the house. and on ex-
animation it was found to contain four hun
dred dollars, all In half dollars. which they
agreed to divide equally between them -
The day after this discovery, as the stran-
ger was about to take his leave, he com.
planned to his benefactor of the inconyenince
of carrying 50 much silver, when an ex-
change was proposed, the stranger receiving
two hundred and fifty d,liars in greenbacks

Bad Handwriting.

Tn noticing Lord Lyttletons absurd
amendment to the Reform bill--that no one
should be admitted to the franchise who
could not write a legible hand and the
amusing fact that the clerk was unable to
make cut the written motion until his Lord
ship went to The desk and read it to him,
the Spectator remarks:
''Of the letters received in this Office,
which are all from educated persons, at
least ten per cent. are written in that de-
testible Italian hand which was studied twen-
ty years ago, and are intellieible only to
compositors. The introduction of note

.'WIn YOu Vote the Negro into

! Democrat-Well neighber, are you Re.
pubhcans going to vote the negro into the
family this fall2
RepuJlicon-l can ony speak for myself
ard | can tell you l am not going to vote

against that amendment to strike WHITE
| from our State Constitution and TO estab-
lish here in Ohio, Negro Equality. That S
what Tn going to do.
Dem-Well, you and l agree on that
| question exactly, and We shall vote shoulder
to SHOULDER on that issue. More than that,
| shall vote for no man for office who favors
Negro Equality, or who aided to force it
| throuth the last Legislature, when the ques.
tion was not before the people two years
ego, when that Legislature was chosen.
| Men Ike these Radicals, who wholly
disregard the feelings and intesests Of the
| people and vote and labor in the Legislature
to force NEGRO EQUALITY down our
throats are not safe men to trust there. Do
you think snp
Rcp.-WeIl, I'm still Republican, bud
am opposed to the Negro issue, and shall
vote against it. l am with you on that
Dem.-Now, neighbor, am talking to
you as neighbor; our interests are the
same; you do not want high taxes any more
than | do. You do not desire Negro equal
ity any more than I do Is not all this
so?
Rep.-Yes, it is so; want every one to
pay his share of our awful high taxes, and
l do not want Negro Equality forced upon
us, can tell Won
Dem-Wcll now, neighbor John, where
is the consistency if you vote against the
Amendment to our Constitution, and yet
vote for the men who forced it upon US, and
who will, if they are elected, persist in fore
ing it upon US, and if they get onr next
Legislature, will probably succeed by the
aid of Congrt ss2
Rep.-Well, neighbor Joseph, ifI though
THAT was so, | certainly would not vote for
a man of them.
Dem.--I would not wish to deceive you
neighbor John. You know what this Con
gress has done and, judging by thar, you
may know whether they will not pass the
bill now pending t. amend the U. s Con-
stitution, so as to establish Negro Equal
ity in all the States. If this nas es Con
gress, it then comes before he Stare Legisl.
atures for confirmation To that event,
would you want to trust such Negro lovers
as Dr. Beadle and Lewis Lewtun?
Rep. Indeed I would not; for as I said,
| don want Negro Equality. Well, must
go. I'll think over this, neighbor, and per
hapS talk with you again.
