AN attempt has been made to intro
duce Coolie labor on some of the
Southern plantations, and one or two
cargoes have already been landed.
There are laws against this traffic, and
we look to the Government for their
rigid enforcement.
"TREAsoN,' says Pendleton, late
candidate for President, "is the
protest of liberty against tyranny"
Democratic brains must be added
when they fail to hatch ont better
excuse for their support Of the rebellion
than this. That must needs be good
epigram which would balance four
years of history.
DESPERATE efforts are being made
to get up gold mining excitement at
Scranton, in this State, at Bellvillc,
Richardson county, Ohio, and in Cana
da. People who are disgusted with
petroleum speculations, can add to
their stock of experience by taking
gold shares. t.,.
THE Catholic priest at Northampton,
Mass, Rev. Patrick T. Moycc, has
sent petition to His Holiness the
Pope, asking the privilege to use the
Protestant version of the Bible in his
church. That priest has certainly af-
forded the Pope splendid opportuni-
ty to show his good sense.
AMONG the rumors prevalent in
Utah is one that Brigham Young has
promised to abolish poygamy as soon
as the Union is reconstructed. 1t will
be curious if the burial of one of tho
"twin relics of barbarism" proves the
signal for the REIMBURSEMENT of tho
other.
The Xenia TorchHgM remarks: "It
appears to be almost a foregonc con-
clusion that George II. Pendleton is
to be the Democratic candidate for
next President. George is eloquent,
and elegant, and polished, and doesn't
smell of any of your 'demnition'
blood of the unholy war;
THE Uniontown Standard gives the
following important information for
wool growers: "If sheep are kept in
the same lot with cows or fat cattle, no
dogs will disturbc them. As soon as
the dogs approach them they run to
the cattle, who drive off the dogs. A
farmer of thirty years, in Shelby, by
adopting this plan, never lost sheep
by dogs, although in the neighborhood
the dogs killed sheep to the north and
south of him.
ALBERT G. BRowN, who was once
a Senator of the United States from
Mississippi, and is now "proscribcd
Rebel addressed a Reconstruction
meeting near jacksonville, Miss, a
short time ago, and urged the holding
ola Convention and the acceptance of
the terms proposed by Congress "with-
ont delay or cavil." This is good
advice, and it is advice which VIC are
glad to know that many of the ex-
Rebels are giving. They are better
friends to their people now than those
who would force upon the South the
Presidents obstruction policy.
WoMANSUFFRAGE.-Ifthedeliber-
alton of the New York Convention to
amend the Constitution is an index to
Pubhc sentiment on the subject, woman
suffrage will not be conceded in the
Empire State for some time to come.
A vote was taken, after some debate
on the subject, and the result was fifty
one against and twenty for it. Ii was
found, after taking the vote, that
quorum Of the Convention was not
present; but the vote shows how the
matter would probably be decided in
full meeting.
THE trade of Russian America in
1866 amounted to 81 100000 in skins
and furs. While Russia possessed the
territory whalers were not allowed to
land on the coast for business, but this
restriction is now removed. As an
evidence of the prosperity to result
from the acquisition of the territory
by the United States, it may be stated
that fur company, with a capital of
81 100000, to operate in the new ter
ritory, has been organized in San
Francisco. The charter of this COM
pany is said to be in the hands of some
of the principal business men of the
Pacific slope.
WHEN the Democratic party DOM
mated at the South, free schools were
intcrdicted, and it was crime punish
able at the whipping post for any man
or woman to engage in teaching the
laboring masses of that section to read
whereby they might be able to find
and walk in the narrow path which
leads to Heaven. The power of the
Democratic party is broken in the
South, and the first signal act which
distinguishes the downfall of modern
Democracy, is the establishment of
free schools. Education is now made
free to all in the South, by the inAu-
ence of Republican rule. Under
Democracy it was crime for a poor
man to have his children taught to
read. What better illustration of the
corruption of Democracy could the
people find to control them in their
opposition to that monstrous doctrine?
