Changes in the Meaning of Words.

During part of the seventeenth century
and earlier, a Dutchman meant Ger
man, Mynheer being called Hollander.
A modern reader, ignorant of this change,
when he found dictionary.compiler
pronouncing English based on Dutch,
might be apt to doubt the authors fitness
as Judge of language. Less technical
writers suffer from the changes in the
meaning of mere common words; and a
reader, not aware of the changes which
have taken place, may be in continual
danger of misreading his author, of mis-.
understanding his intention, while he
has no doubt watever that he is perfectly
apprehending and taking it in.
Thus, when Shakespeare, in Henry VI,
makes the noble Talbot address Joan
of Arc as " miscreant," how coarse a
piece of invective does this sound how
unlike to that which the chivalrous sol
dier would have uttered, or to that which
Shakespeare, even with his unworthy
estimate of the noble warrior maid, would
have put into "Talbot's" mouth But a
miscreant " in Shakespeare's time had
nothing of the meaning which it now has.
A miscreant," in agreement with its
etymology, was misbeliever, one who
did not believe rightly the articles of the
Catholic Faith and it need not be told
that this was the constant charge which
the English brought against Joan, namely
that she was dealer in hidden magic
arts, witch, and as such had fallen from
the faith. 1t is this which Talbot "
means when he calls her miscreant,
and not what we should intend by the
mama

Something Grand.

Just before the late Northern elections,
ex-Gov. Parker, of New Jersey, in a
public speech, predicted that his State
would give large majority in favor OF
the doctrines which ne proclaimed-that
New York would indorse them by so, 900
maj ajority-whch she dd-and that IL,
after all, the Radical party should 90
ahead and iasten negro suffrage upon
the South" as he supposed it would,
something of particular Importance
would be sure 10 follow.
The fact that this speech was indorsed
by New Jersey so largely, and the fact
that its remarkable predictions have so
far been verified, may we'll make our
readers curious to know what yet remains
to be fulfilled.
Gov. Parker said that if the Radicals
did not pause and begin to retrace their
steps-if they went ahead on the black
basis, every Congressional District in
the North would next year elect Con-
servative Congressman, and that then
the Democracy would have the power.
Do you ask me, he said, what we pro.
pose to do when we have the power and
answered his question-before the cleo
ton, be it rememhered-as follows,
We propose to treat reconstruction
acts and the Freedmen's Bureau bill as
nulities--as void ab initio. Because,
being States, Congress had no right to
force negro suffrage upon them-that is
question entirely within the province
of the States themselves. And, if ne
cessary, we will repeal those acts; i'm.
mense applause and tonight / ask all
of you to let your voices sound forth in
answer as / call out "Repeal " Re
peal " Cheers and cries of Repeal" ]
Nothing less than this was to have
been expected from the Constitution
loving, law-abiding Democracy of the
North, but we confess that it is pleasant
to have it declared in round terms and
in an authoritative, courageous and
confident manner, just on the eve of an
election, and not, after the manner of
the Radicals, as a partisan inference
from the election Galreston NetoS.

The Author Of the Lincoln Assassination
plot


The Columbus (Ga.) Sun, it seems,
has found the man who first proposed
to assassinate Abraham Lincoln. His
name, says that paper, is Thomas Gil
bert, and he is Radical delegate elect
from the Suns senatorial district to the
convention. He is a resident of Chat
tahoochee county, and the proofs strong
and conclusive against him. The Sun
further says:
The facts are these: At meeting of
the citizens of Chattahoochee county,
before Abraham Lincoln had taken the
Presidential chair, and previous to the
secession of the State of Georgia, this
hoary.headed old reprobate submitted to
the said meeting a proposition in
writing, offering to arm and equip at his
own expense one hundred men, to pro-
ceed to Washington City and to kill
Abraham Lincoln. He supported his
proposition in violent harangue,
charging bis more moderate and humane
neighbors with a want OF patriotism aud
courage. These facts will be fully at
tested by some Of the most prominent
aud respected citizens of the county of
Chattahoochee.
The Sun adds;
We stand ready to make good, by
competent proof, that he is the author of
the assassination plet We demand an
investigation of this matter. Radicalism
still pants for the blood of the slayer of
its late lamented leader. We have
pointed out the man who inaugurated
the tragedy, and in the name Of the mur-
dered and prosecuted dead and living,
we demand that justice shall be done.

There is Union Pacific and a Central
Pacific, and a Union Pacific Eastern
Division, and a Northern Pacific, and a
Southwestern Pacific. Of these the
Union Pacific and the Central Pacific
are the Great Pacific railway we read
about, and when completed, will form one
continuous line from Omaha to Sacrs-
mento. The Union Pacific has already
completed FIVE hundred miles west,
commencing at Omaha, and the Central
Pacific is in running order to more than
hundred miles east of Sacramento.
They will unite somewhere about Sail
Lake City. Both have government
assistance, and both roads have their
bonds in market. The Union Pacific
