4 JOLLY CHAP.

The editor of the Genius Of Liberty
felicitatcs himself on his shameless dis
loyalty in this wise:
"Washington wAs a rebrl; Lincoln
was 1oy.!i@, The negroes arc all
loyal, \ goo many white men are
disloyal. We are somewhat disloyal,
ourselves, and rejecting that the Dem
ocrats of '7G, were all disloyal, we
have no apology to o.lar for our di5loy-
atty"
The sane immaau'a.c AL joyial
dcmocoppcr publishes the following
charitable and generous allusion to the
Martyred President Lincoln:
"Thc contributors to the Lincoln
monument, are demanding to know
what has become Of their money. No
matter what has become of it. Hcun-
not be PIT to more disgracJd purpose
than building monument to such q
man as Lincoln, rhose life mos q with-
c'ing curse to his country"

The naughty Editor of the Morgan
town Post, not having the fear of
fashion before his eyes, speaks thus
irrevcrently of the devotecs of that
rueful old goddess, in his town:
MoRGANTowN FAsHIoNs.-W h o
shall describe the exquisite taste and
beauty of the new style of ladies' walk
ing dresses? Taken as class, women
can contrive more outlandish and ugly
costumes than one would think pos
sible without the gift of inspiration.
But this time they have been fclici-
tous. The wrctchcd waterfalls still
remain, of course, but in modified
form /; every change it underwent was
for the better. First it represented a
bladder of Scotch snuff; next it hung
down the women's back like a canvas
covered ham afterward it contracted,
and counterfeitcd a turnip on the back
of the head now it sticks straight out
behind, and looks like a wire muzzle
on a greyhound. Nesting in the
midst ofthis long stretch of head and
hair reposes the little batter cake of a
bonnet, like a jockcy-saddle on race
horse. You will readily perceive that
this looks very unique, and pretty
and coquettish. But the glory of the
costume is the robc-the dress. No
furbelows, no founces, no blases, no
rufiles, no cores, no Autterwheels, no
hoops to speak of-nothing but rich,
plain, narrow black dress, terminating
just below the knees in long saw teeth
points downward) and under it fam
ing red skirt, enough to put your eyes
out, that reaches down only to the
ankle bone, and exposes the restless
little feet. Charming, fascinating, Sc
ductivc, bewitching! To see a lovely
girl of seventeen, with her saddle on
her head, and her muzzle on behind,
and her veil just converting the end of
her nose, come tripping along in her
hoopless, redbottomed dress, like
churn on fire, is enough to set a man
wild. We must drop this subjective
can't stand it.

SEC. STANTON SUSPENDED.

On Monday, Aug. 5th, the President
addressed note 10 Sec. Stanton re-
questing him TO resign. The Sec. re-
piled that public considerations of a
high character constrained him not tc
do so.
On Monday last the President issued
an order suspending Mr.. Stanton from
office, and appointing Gen. Grant to
exercise the functions of the War
Department dd interim. With which,
order the Sec. complied, protesting
however, that the President had nc
right to exercise such authority.
When Congress meets again, Mr.
johnson will be called to account 70,
removing competent and faithful SER
want without just cause.

KENTUCKY AND TENNESsi.E

The recent elections in these tive
States, says the Pittsburgh Commcc;di
have placed them before the public
eye in positions strongly antithctical.
In former years, under the leoden
sceptcr Of slavery, they were political
ly very much alike. The difference
was in favor of Kentucky, where the
influence of few able emancipation
lists toned the public mind somewhat
in favor of freedom to the colored race.
Tennessee went into thesecession move
ment of 1861, with, however large
loyal element in its population. Ken
tucky, with large disloyal popula-
ton, was saved from that madness,
but t-attained the unenviable fame of
having supplied its full quota of men
to the rebel army. Slavery, the bane
of both States, was abolished in Ten
nessce by Mr.. Lincoln's Proclamation
in Kentucky by the Constitutional
Amendment.
After the war, Tennessee was recon-
structed, and in the process loyalty,
and not color was made the basis of
the elective franchise. The position
of Kentucky exempted it from the
much needed purgation of a similar
process, and left it, as before enamel
patton, with color and not loyalty the
basis of the right to vote. The conse-
quen,es of the two politics are appa-
rent ii the elections. In Tennessee
the huge majority is a measure of the
loyal citizenship of the State, while in
Kentucky, the like huge majority en-
braces defeated, disarmetl and disband-
cd soldiers of jeff. Davis's army,
guerrillas that infested the State dur
ing the war, and Democrats, greed for
Office in any company. The election
results are thus easily accounted for
the loyal citizens being admitted to
vote in Tennessee, while the returned
rebels were excluded, and in Kentucky
the returned rebels being admitted,
while all the loyal colored citizens were
excluded.

commonly called in the United States,
began with the election in Tennessee
on Thursday. Kentucky voted on
Monday last, and had the registry of

before the war voted on the second

being just begun, there will be no cleo
tiOn this year. The next election that
will be held will be in Vermont, on

Massachusetts, Michigan, Wisconcin,
Minnesota, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri
and Nevada. Colorado closes the list
