A Pstfable Object.

A Nashville paper says the most pitiable
object now to be seen in the streets of that
city is Joseph AFRICA. He had his skull
broken with hammer In the hands of a
negro, who attempted to rob him, about 16
months ago. At that time, the whole top
of his skull had to be taken off, leaving his
brains without any covering except hat,
which he nearly always wore. Some two
months ago he quarreled with his rival, an
old black man, about a pretty mulatto
girl living in Edgefeld. A night or two
after, AFRICA entered his rivals window
with an open knife and attempted to cut
his throat, but failed, and was subsequent
ly arrested and committed to jail for trial.
He had long and beautiful black hair,
which he permitted to cover his brain thus
causing Inflammation. The tailor had the
locks cut off, and his head shaved, as the
attending physician had prescribed, but
not without using force. He also had
Arrica's head frequently washed, but the
latter invariably resisted with all the feeble
strength that renal led to him, and seemed
perfectly Indifferent to the filth that COL
lected around the brain. -
During the early part of last week q
phys ician removed two bones which were
pressing on the unfortunate mans brain,
and on examination found maggots feast
ing therein The physician picked out the
loathsone creatures, and applied camphor
to the affected part for the purpose OF kill
ing, if possible, those that might be lett.
AFRICA has absolutely become mere walk
ing autOmaton. He appears to move with
out any purpose whatever. The doctor eX-
pressed the opinion that if he remained in
jail he would die in ten days. The jailor
represented the prisoners condition to
Judge Smith, who ordered his release.

York Tribune, referring to President john
sons new amnesty proclamation, remarks:
"We were in fovor of a sweeping amnes-
ty when Mr.. Johuson was raving and roar
ing thrice a day that "treason was crime,
and that traitors must be punished" We
are in favor of it now, and would gladly
have every peaceable, well-disposed man
in the South assured that no harm will be-
fall him because of his share in the rebel
lion so long as he deports himself as good
citizen should. Let those who were rebels
feel and know that they may plant and till,
build and trade, buy lands and sell them,
without fear of contiscation or molestation.
So far as President Johnson's new procla-
nation tends to secure this end, it has our
hearty approval" "a

Curious facts about Immi.ratiou.

The public generally gives no further
heed to the matter of the immigration con-
stantly going on of the European popula-
ton to this country, than to notice occa-
sionally its vastness and to remark that
there is room yet for all who choose to
come. Yet, there are many interesting
facts connected with this ceaseless tide OF
immigration that are worthy of note. Dur
ing the month of July there arrived at this
port alone 23.376 foreign immigrants, and

Castle Garden thus marks their destina-

3 They Are Comine!

We learn from the Ototoa Sentinel that
Elijah baltimore and Judge Lockwood, of
Ottowa county, have renounced Radical
ism and come out openly in favor of the
Democracy. The Sentinel says: .,i b.
We regard these accessions as valuable to
the Democraetic party of Ottowa county.
We know the men, personally, and know
them to have heretofore been the leading
men of the Radical party in that county,
and the men who gave it character, enthu-
siasm and energy, Mr.. baltimore was
elected Auditor of the county in 1868, by
the Radicals, and was renominated by them
in 1865. but was defeated by the Democrats,
running ahead of his ticket.
Judge Lockwood is one of the most TALENT
ed men in the county, and has considerable
influence. We extend the hand of fellow
ship to both these gentlemen, and welcome
them into the Democratic ranks.
