THE SOUTH RELIEVED OF ITS DEBTS

The Louisville Courier presumes that
as the Jacobins have decided that the
communities of the South are not States,
they will take occasion at an early day
of the present session to make provision
for the security Of the debts of the late
States. In exiinguishing the political
existence of those States as States, they
have, under the laws and usages of ma
tons, made themselves responsible to the
creditors of those States, and must as.
sumo and make provision for their debts.
This will probably add about five hun
dred millions to the national indebted
ness If the Southern States are States,
the military bill is unconstitutional, and
cannot be enforced. If their rights, as
States, have been extinguished by the
United States, then the United States
have made themselves liable, and cannot
escape the responsibilities they have thus
incurred Territories cannot tax them
selves, and cannot therefore be held to
liability. Foreign creditors will be GER
tain to make their demands upon the
Government for payment of accruing in
terest, and their principal when due,
and their claims will unquestionably be
backed by their respective governments.
This is one little mud.puddle the Jaco-
bins have put their foot in.

"WHO-GOES HOME ?"

"YHo- GOES HoMEY
The cry of the Odoorkeeper, "Who goes
home ?n which7he always shouts out when
the House rises, is said to mean, "Who
goes home with the Speaker TO protect
him ?" and has descended down from those
troublous times when it was not safe for
':Mr. Speaker" to go home alone:
q There is another curious ceremony which
is occasionally seen at the House, and, as il
once led to laughable, scene, it is worthy
of notice. When her majesty gives her
assent to bills, either in person or by COM
mission, siMr. Speaker is summoned to the
House of Peers. The summoning officer is
the s,Usher of the Black Rod,' who, in full
court-dress, marches in grand state, with
the black rod on his shoulder, to the door
of the House of Commons. On his ap-
proach the door is' locked by the Sergeant
iat-Arms, and TO gain admittance the usher
has to knock three times, which he does
with grave solemnity. The door is then
thrown open; !; the doorkeeper walks to the
bar and Shouts "Black Rod,' and the ush-
er, accompanied by the sergeant with
tile mace on z his. shoulder, march,
es up to the table OF the House, both bow

? NIarriage Extraordinary.

'MARRIED.-By George W. McCown,
Esq, on Sunday morning, at 10 O'Clock A.
M, May 26. 1867, at the residence OF the
former husband of the bride. Mrs. Mary
Ann Stratton, aged thirty-nine years, to
Mr. Joseph Hood, aged nineteen years"
We have scarcely ever attended a more
pleasant wedding party than the one above
mentioned. The bride looked blooming
and happy, the bridegroom seemed delight
ed with the whole affair, aud they eXhib
lited for each other that peculiar tender
mess and affection which should ever attend
such blissful occurrences. But that which
seemed to give the greatest zest to the oc-
.casion was the good humor and bland po-
liteness of the former husband of the
biide. who acted as master OF GER
eimoDies. His many previous acts of kind
ness and assistance to the happy couple
show that he possesses forgiving heart,
and is capable of carrying the spirit of
charity to wonderful extent. His wit
and joviality delighted all who were pres
ent. Among other things, he remarked
that it was the first wedding dinner that
he had ever eaten with the bride, and he
seemed to enjoy it very much. One gen
tleman became so absorbed in the happl-
ness of the occasion, as to call upon the
bride to help him to the chicken. Sundry
other passages of highly favored humor,
which we have not space to particularly
specify, enlivened the scene, and shed a
genial glow of happiness over the whole
affair.
In conclusion we ask permission to ten
der to the bride our sincere wishes for the
future happiness and prosperity for herself
and her youthful consort.-MdgnoLiG (Ark.) }
