Rather Practical.

A negro named Jones, was, on Mon
day last, elected Constable for the town
of Blackstone, Mass This is putting
the right man in the right place be-
cause no people on earth are better
adapted to the scent and manners of
the negroes than the "mean whites"
Of Massachusetts,. Whenever a white
man attempts to ignore his place in
nature, and thinks himself no better
than a negro, it is perhaps proper that
he should be allowed to run his course,
because it is species Of fanatieism
that will cure itself, although the re
suit is determination If an individu-
al commits selfmurder-ends his life
with a pistol, knife or poison-he is
denounced as a criminal by his fellows
but if he produces the same results by
an unnatural cohabitation and alliance
with an alien race he is eulogized as a
philanthropist. This is the result Of a
Massachusetts education.
A community that, years ago, was
educated up to the point of commit
ting murder in the name of the Lord,
and of banishing their brethren be-
yond the borders of their dominions,
are indeed well qualified to degrade
themselves to the level of the barba-
rous African, who has never been
either christian or mechanic, ex-
cept while an American slave. While
New England is engaged in a war
against nature-trying to ignore the
decrees and laws of God, in reference
to the races-the people Of other sec
tions should be warned and given TO
understand that this is not the first
time that the people of that section,
at the instigation of the Devil have
committed crimes that caused even
half civilized communities to blush, and
if they desire the future happiness and
peace Of our country they must not
follow either the theologians or politi-
ticians produced by a Plymouth Rock
er Pure and unadulterated Puritan
ism, as promulgated by Beecher and
Sumner, is as fatal to religion and the
civil liberties of free people as strick-
nine is TO a dog.

ALARMED.-0n Friday last, while
the Washington Rump were discussing
the question Of the Kingdom of Cana
da, the old Winnebago Chief moved
by honest motives, stepped to the front
with the following inquiry:
Mr. CAMERON introduced a resolution in.
strucung the Committee on Foreign Relations to
Inquire what steps are necessary to prevent foreign
governments from introducing upon this continent
institutions and governments contrary to those
established by tho founders Of this Republic. Ac
which was referred to the Committee on Foreign
Relations
That is all right, but why did he
not extend his inquiry little farther
and also inquire why governments
and institutions established "by the
founders Of this Republic are wiped
out by a miserable Bump, and a Mill.
tary Despotism established in their
stead f? Simon, watch your own lib.
critics a little closer, and don't bother
yourself quite so much about the bust
ness of your ncighbors; at least until
YOU sweep vour own door clean.

The CAPIToL-Since the National
Capital has fell into tho hands OF ne.
groes and white loyalists life and NOR
ais arc retained at a great risk, even
on Pennsylvania avenue. As an in
stance We take the following from the
associate press news few DAYS ago /:
"Ihe body of the man found on Penn
sylvania avenue on Saturday morning
with a pistol shot in the head has been
viewed by hundreds fpeoplc without
Identification or solving the mystery
ofhis death. A strip Of muslin on the
coat collar Of the deceased is marked
400, Henry Bits" and the garment
itself bears a manufacturers name in
Chicago"

DARING FEAT.-Two men were ar
rested at Tidioute, Warren county on
Thursday last, on a charge of having
robbed the Breevort Petroleum Com
pany's office, near Rouseville, on Cher
ry run, on the previous night, where
they stole one hundred and eighty
dollars, and almost killed the clerk,
Mr. Foley, who slept in the office
They were hand-cuflcd together, and
placed on the train for Oil City. On
the way when near Tioncsta, they
made an excuse of going into the clos
ct attached to the car, and in a mo-
ment or two afterwards one of the
passengers, who was looking out of
the window, saw them rolling down
the bank together. They had crawl
ed through the window of the closet
and thrown themselver down the en-
bankment, although the train was run
ing at the rate of thirty miles an hour
at the time. The passenger who wit
messed their unccremonious exit i'm.
mediately notified the officer who pull
led the bell rope, stopped the train,
and started in pursuit of the prisoners,
followed by about twenty passengers
In a short time they came in sight of
the fugitives, and several shots were
fired at them, none of which took ef
feet; neither had they the result of
stopping those they were aimed at
After a chase of about q mile the pris.
oners were overtaken, aud yet would
no. stop until one Of them received q
blow on the head from the butt of one
Of the officers pistols. They were de-
liant and took matters very cody,
giving full details Of their mode of es-
capej stating that one OF them had
backed on. Of the small saloon win
dows, and then with the arm which
was manacled to his companion had
succeeded in pulling that companion
through the window, head first, and
both had "gono il blind down the

them no damage.-Erchdngo.

Thr Coming Eor1rfn.

Business men are looking forward
with fear to the future. No prudent
man possessing capital, except under
peculiar circumstances wishes TO en-
ter into business, if he is outof il now.
This arises, largely, out Of the politi-
cal disquietude, and out Of the results
Of substituting government paper for
real money.
But there are some special causes,
not sufficiently attended TO, that are
helping on the impoverishment Of the
country. The miserable character OF
the currency, and its inflated bulk,
promotes extravaganza. This is I'M
derstood. But il is not understood
that the greenbacks that are ahoat,
and their shadows, the National Bills,
are not money, but evidences Of debt.
Every man of fixed property in this
country, when he puts in his pocket a
roll of greenbacks, is poclSeting dis
counted note on which his name might
be written as ono of the endorsers
There is frSt mortgage on all his prop
erty, TO secure the payment Of these
and thousands Of millions more Of eU
idences Of debt Thepeople, as a whole
are in the ruinous position of mar
sporting himself on borrowed money
Many millions of gold are going out
of the country to pay the interest OF
/ bonds, held by European creditors, be
cause of the exorbitant rates Of inter

But, again, has IL over entered into

AWFUL AWFUL Although the
loyal Rump at Washington has run a
prayer meeting and temperance
league for three months past, yet SEN
ator Wilson, the head of the former,
stated in bis seat on Friday last, that
the committee rooms in the Capitol
were little better than grog shops.
This is awful, when we reflect that all
things are just now adjusted on the
"grand moral idea" plan, and in the
interest of loyalty.

A LOYAL CANDIDATE.-The Demo.
Gratis Of New Hampshire are literally
roasting the shoddy patriot, Harri-
man, the negro candidate for Govern
or, alive. The poor wretch was a
Colonel in the negro war, and was
court-martialed for 'cowardicc, ""falsc-
hood" &C., and other gentle practices,
which seem to have ondoared him to
the Negro Republicans of that State.
The Democrats have been distributing
slips Of all the charges and specifica-
tions in the audience addressed by the
"bold soldier boy" 1t is lucky that
we have not the old English statute
of "cruelty to animals" Such tortur-
ing Of a poor ass was never witnessed
before. Lawrence Stern, if he was
living, would weep again over his

SUDDEN DEATH AND a SAD EFFEcr.--
George Brown, Esq, a dry goods mer.
chant of Jersey City, suddenly fell
dead, from disease of the heart, on
Tuesday, while conversing with a
friend in relation to his approaching
marriage, which was to have taken
place on Thursday. Another sad in
cident connected with the affair is that
friend, who vas called in, went at
once to inform the parents Of the
young lady to whom deceased was en-
gagged, and she oyerhearing the con-
versalion, the knowledge Of her be-
trothed's death coming to her so sud
denly, bad the effect to destroy her
reason.

PEELED to return his bill ignoramus, and

no doubt but that a large majority Of
the old Rump are ashamed, because of
their miserable failure, and opposed TO
continue further proceedings, but the
demands Of the new members brought
about a continuation of the farce.

dare not if they could, impeach Presi.

public attention to a focus upon this
