naticisfn. a few more strides and she
will stand alongside of Massachusetts, ito
equal in every respect, SO far as Cuffee is
concerned, But o few weeks since, the
Legislature made it criminal offence for
railroad companies, or their employees, to
attempt to keep negroes out of the cars set
apart for ladies, or to request the coming
man" to take seat even at one erd of the
ear. Now the Jury bill is before the
House-a bill to provide for the election
Of two Jury Commissioners, one from each
party, who, with the Sheriff of each county

More Reconstruction.

The inslncerity and duplicity of Con-
gress, in submitting the military bill to
the Southern States as fnality on the
subject of reconstruction, is shown in the
fact that supplementary bill has already
already passed Congress which overthrows
the most important principles of the orig
inal bill. The original bill left it optionary
with the States to accept the measure or
reject it, and the suffrage question was
controlled oy the terms of the Constitu-
tional amendment. The new bill, howev-
er, puts the subject of elections under the
control of the Brigadiers and requires that
they shall be held. 1t also provides for
the registration of all voters, under which
system the greater part of those not pro-
scribed by the amendment can, and proba-
bly, will be, excluded. 1t may be set
down as fixed fact, that the Jacobins have
on idea of restoring the Southern States
until after another Presidential election,
any concessions made to secure earlier
admission will be wasted upon men who
have policy to which they intend to ad-
here and from which there is no power to
dive them,-Bdnner of Li5erty,

The CAPTURE OF Fort BUFoRD.--A

The CAPTURE OF FORT BUFoRD.--A
letter from the wife of a distinguished ar
my officer at St. Louis confirms the report
of the capture of Fort Buford, at the mouth
of the Yellow Stone, on the Upper Missou-
RI Col. Rankin, his wife, child, and the
whole garrison were slaughtered-in all
about eighty souls. 1t is due to the men,
ory of Col. Rankin to state that he had
represented for fully four months his ina
bilrty to resist prolonged attack against
the overwhelming force the Indians brought
against him, aud requested to be reihforc-
ed or drawn into more defensible posi-
ton. Private letters say that he anticipa-
ted his fate, and made good his promis e
to his friends that he would defend his po-
stion to the last man. His promise has
been verified. Private letters state that
he repulsed with his small force the attack
of frorn two thousand to three thousand
Indians, killing three hundred aud wound
ing over one thousand before he was over
whelmed. 1t is generally supposed that
Col. Rankin shot his wife to prevent her
falling into the hands of the Indians. No
possible blame can be attached to Col. Ran
kin's memory for the fall of the post, as he
had had many years experience in the In
dian country, and was an officer of great
GOODNESS and direction.

InfamV Awaits them.

Time was when official position gave a
certain degree of respectability, even to
'short scrub-stock" politicians or civilians.
Not so now. 1t is no honor no W to be a
member OF Congress or occupy a seat on
the Supreme bench of the State. The
surgings of war brought into office. most
who were never dreamed of for such por-
tions. 1t is truly day of very small men,
and to statesmen the private post is the
most of honor. We do not know what
these officials think Of their own status,
but we can assure them--all who hold of
fee against the known will of the people
that they are held in perfect contempt by
every true gentleman and liberty loving
patriot. They may strut the streets for a
while, and snrfeit upon the blood of their
own countrymen, but the time will come
when they will lose official position, and
disgrace and eternal banishment from re-
spectacle society be the closing scene Of
their lives, and Infamy be their epitaph.-

GENERAL WAsHlNaroN RE cE1vxs

GENERAL WASHINGTON RE cErvxs A
CURTAIN LEoruRE.-A nice little story
of General Washington, which will be
fresh to many of our readers, and will en-
balm him iu the memory of all good wives
as model husband:
"The General--says the biographer--
and his wife lived happily together, but it
is evident that like most heiresses, she was
little exacting, and it is highly probable
that the great Washington was sometimes
favored with curtain lecture. The cele.
brated authoress, Miss Cremer, relat Qs that
a gentleman once slept at Mount Vernon,
in the room adjoining that occupied by
the master and mistress of the mansion :;
and when all was still he overheard, thro'
the thin partition, the voice Of Mrs. Wash
ington. He could not but listen, and it
was a curtain lecture which she was Civ
ing her lord. He had done something
during the day which she thought ought to
have been done differently, and she was
giving her opinions in somewhat animated
and quite decided tones. The great man
listened in silence till she had done, and
then, without remark upon the subject in
hand, said
"Now good sleep to you my dear"
1t is pla in that the General believed that
"it takes two to quarrel"

~ When the sterling, honest, old and
true Democracy was in power, $9 A DAY
was the paw of members of Congress, and
So A DAY for members of the Legsla-
ture. 1t was then thought an extravagant
price and that man could hardly have been
found with courage and assurance sufficient
10 have even proposed an increase. 1t is
now six short years since the Democracy
became exiles and the aboitionists have as
sumed their places. The old landmarks of
honesty, economy and fidelity, have given
way to theft, extravaganza and corruption
What is the result? In the single item
of the pay ofour legislators, we have seen
Members of Congress advanced from IS a
day, first to $4,000 year, and then to
S. 900, equivalent to about $40 day for
the sitting-five times the old Democratic
pay. We say nothing about the piekings,
which have also immensely increased. As
to our So dav members of the Legisla-
ture, they too have kept pace with the
abolition times. They first run up to $500
for the session, then to 81 20, then to $1,000
(Which it is now and a proposition as be-
fore the present Legislature, which will
probably be adopted, again increasing the
pay-this time to s15Ool They do these
things, trusting to the fanaticsm and blind
ness OF great portion of the people, who
are sensible enough on every other subject,
except politics, These Legislators know
well enough that all that is necessary, if
objection is made to their acts, is to put
forth several lusty yeIls of "Copperhead,"
"traltor," when the whole abolition party
is sprung into the traces, as one man, in
support Of the most outrageous and abom-
Unable measures that may be purpetrated
by "party." We trust the day is not far
distant, when men will return to their bet
ter Judgment, and arrest the career OF this
mad fauatcism, for it will soon be too late.

they wish to invite to visit them. G. was
occupying this room. Everything in the
house with the exception of Mr.. Cookies
buodoir and a few of the paintings, is
American. Mr.. Cooke would have moth
ing else. In the sitting room is large
old-fashioned open fireplace, with andirons
which Mr.. Cookies mother presented to
him. There is every kind of room in the
house that you could think of-billiard
rooms, amusement room, where they have
a regular stage, foot lights, ETC., music room,
where they have an elegant square grand
richly carved piano. l can't tell you of
all the rooms, for it would take me all
night, and even then you wouldn't have a
clear idea of them.

Revolving centuries bring
about strange changes. In the Infancy of
Freedom, when law was yet in swaddling
clothes, the Barons. of England, privil-
eyed class, combined 10 wrest from King
John the Magma Charta which secured to
all Englishmen those peculiar rights of
freemen, trial by jury and the writ af ha-
beas corpus. In 1867, the age of liberal
principles and enlightened ideas, in a
great Republic which boasts that its les
sons of freedom are being conned wberev-
er the tongue of man has been taught to
syllable the word. their representatives of
democratic people, with the lying cant
of liberty and equality on their lips, COM
bine to wrest those same rights of trial by
jury and htbeas corpus fren eight millions

oh Ho!

The New York Times makes a confes-
sion, which would have caused the con-
fessor-lf Copperhead, to be bra ndcd as
"disIoyal," "traitor," sc. The confession
is this:
"The policy pursued by Congress for
the last two years will inevitably end in a
practical repudiation of the public debt
and it is just as we'll for the county to
understand th. first as last And the
danger is that this policy always WILL be
pursued, for it is the one dictated by the
personal necessities and aspirations of in
dividual members. Every member de-
sires reelection or promotion ia public
life, and he can only get it by securing
votes Of his constituents. Every member
has among his constituents more or less
soldiers-in very many, perhaps a majori-
ty of all the districts, enough to turn the
scale between contendins political parties.
Accordingly every member is tempted
to vote, under one pretence or another,
large sums of. money to the sodiers-a
vote which it is easy to Justify on the score
of patriotism, and which few men have the
courage under any circumstances to resist.
Hence half dozen members are already
running race TO see which shall propose
the largest donations to the soldiers.

How LONG PA correspondent asks us
how long is the Infamous, unconstitutional
annoying, prying. .ftroublesom Income Tax
to continue 2" We answer, that 1T aCiU be
continued as long as the Republican purity
hold power! That party has discovered
what they call ''the resources of the coun-
try" Having done so they intend to en-
JOY them; and being in possession, obvi-
ously proceed as miners do, when they
discover golden gulch. They are making
preparations to stoy--and this is what the
Reconstruction and other bills in Congress
really mean-with determination to get
at the gold by all known processes, and if
these fail, TO invent new ones among the
miners If it is contained in quartz, it
must be "crushed ont" of it. The Repub-
licans being like the miners, the people
are comparable to the quartz. They must
yield their gold to supply the extravagan-
cies ofmyriads of Republican x-ga'her-
ers, and pay for the costly experiments in
the government of the Republican party,
even though they are crushed.-Argus.
