herself disagreeable, so as to destroy
the whole comfort of "a family-stick
to contract? Or have a trial
about it before tribunal response
bic to no law but it's own discretion?
All this assumes that, after all,
the negro is not freeman, and can't
be treated as such. His conduct
must be supervised, and he subject
ed to arbitrary restrictions.
Congress. at Washington, are
discussing frcedmen's voting, hold
ing office, serving on juries, being
equal before the law; but the freed
man wants bread and meat and
men who look over the ground where
he is, see that something else is
wanted. How is he to live at all,
is the question.
Our judgment is, that there is no
halfway house between freedom and
slavery. The freedman must, if
free, 60 and come as he pleases, dis
pose of his labor himself, and make
contracts as he pleases, and keep
them or break them, suffering in the
latter case only such penalties as
the law may provide.
The mass of them may prove un-
able to stand such condition of
things. They need care that it does
not furnish but if they are free,
what else can be done?
We object to the United States
owning these people. These Radi-
Gals are hard masters. We object
to Uncle Sans overseeing a free
people. He might take it into his
head to oversee white folks.
The Radicals have made this
change in the status of the negro,
and now feel bound to see to him.
" ell, they ought to be compelled to
support the old and young and help
less. They ought to be compelled
to find the negro employment, and
to make him work.
But they can do none of these
things. We knew they could not
whenthey were incurring the respon-
sibility. All their efforts to that
end will do harm.
The fact is, the sudden breaking
up of the status Of these people was
an act of inhuman barbarity, not
much less atrocious than the slave
trade itself. The fruits Of it are
years of suffering, on the hard road
to the annihilation of a race.

ALegislature Gone Mad.

The Kansas Legislature has had a
freak of eccentric:ty. We call on
somebody to straightway prepare a
lot of strait waist-coats. We call
on somebody else to jug these Kan
sas Legislators up. They ought to
be jugged forthwith. Or, if that
cannot be done, we call on Congress
to impeach the Kansas Legislature.
We suppose Congress can do it, be
cause it does pretty much what it
plcases. We have good reason for
earnestness in this matter. On
Thurday the Kansas Senate adopted
an amendment introduced by con-
servative member, that every elect
or shall be disqualified from voting
who has stolen or embezzled proper
ty from the United States Govern
ment, or who, as member Of the
Legislature, has received money or
other consideration for his vote, or
who has attempted to bribe any
member ofthe Legislature or elector
at the polls to get his vote.
Now, We would like to know it
there is not here grounds sufficient
for impeaching, or doing almost any
terrible thing, to dozen scnatcs.
What is to become Of our great radi-
cal party if this sort Of business is
allowed to 60 on? 1t will break up
the government of the majority Of
our States. If it were carried out,
would break up congress ITSELF
Just think of it. This amendment
proposes TO dlsqualify every person
who has stolen from the government,
or who has resortcd to bribery
What a monstrous proposition. 1t
would kick OF. of their comfortable
seats nine out of every ten radicals
in cur State legislatures, and nine
ty-nine out Of every lrundred radi-
Gals in Congress. What an absurd
proposition, to be sure. What
would become Of ASHLEY, and the
rest Of that stripe, if this measure
were put into universal effect. As
the amendment was offered by a
conservative member, we shrewdly
that it is vile copperhead
subterfuge to break up the republi-
can party. But as it passed, it is
evident the ka ansas senate has gone
mad. Again we repeat it, let them
be jugged. -Cleavland Plain Dealer.

of that kind literally applied the

the squeaking was heard in another

repeated and quiet was restored

quietly towards the spot occupied

he heard another squeak. This

the difficulty. The stranger was

Trip Lightly.

Trip lightly over Trouble.
Trip lightly oves wrong,
We only make grief double.
BY dwelling on it long.
Why clasp woes hand so tightly?
Why sigh DER blossoms deadl.
Why cling to forms unsiehtly?
Why not ask joy instead?
Trip lightly over sorrow.

The sun may shine tomorrow.
And gaily sing tie lark;

Though roses may have fled;
Then never be down hearted,
But look forjoE instead.

From the Louisville Weekly Democrat. !
We have been fattered with the
idea that when slavery was abolish
ed the subject would be out of poll
ties, and the fruitful source oftroubIe
in the country would be out Of the
way. If the Radicals thought SO,
they should have paused when sla-
very was.abolished.
But, then, the question comes,
what shall be done with the negro?
We have deprived him of a home, of
meat and bread, Of the comforts and
even luxuries that he once enjoyed.
We have deprived him ofcare in in
fancy and old age. All these he
has lost by emancipation.
In slavery, husbands and wives
were separated, and mothers were
separated from their children. This
was sometimes the case but it vas
an exception to the general rule
Now stern necessity makes the sep
aration. The husband can't fnd
employment at the same place as
his wife. A man will employ the
mother, but he can't take her child
rem; SO she must put them out, and
have them no more at home. Ne
cessity is remorseless, and break 5
up all these family ties. What was
once exceptional is now general
rule.
These fanatics may flatter them
selves that they have bettered the
condition Of the freedmen; bat they
J, don't see with their own eyes what
they have done.
But how are these freedmen tc
get along with all these hardships !
They must depend on getting EN-.
ployment and wages, not always te
be had. And what are the young
and the old and helpless to do? The
former owner must supply, from
feelings of humanity, what the freec
people have now no legitimate claim
to. Three millions of active, ener

The in tention is purely specu-

reported, there are creatures here
ready to speculate upon such sub
jcct, as there are politicians in
Washington eager to prosecute the
venture. The one act from a
purely selfish stand point, and the
other from sheer hate and indiffer-
ence to the peace and prosperity Of
the country. Both ought to be re-
garded by those who look well to
the present, and the future of the
country, as public enemies. If they
are nothing more than this, We are
