THE SoUTH.-The following is an cx-
tract from lecture delivered recently in
Nashville by Father Ryan, author of the
Conquered Banner" "a land without
ruins is land without memories-a land
without memories in land without liber.
ty. A land that wears a laurel crown
may be fair to see but twine few sad
cypress leaves around the brow of any
land, and be tnat land barren, beautiless
and bleak, it becomes lovely in its con-
secrated coronet of sorrow, and il wins
the sympathy of the heart and of history.
Crowns of roses fade-crowns of thorns
endure. Calvaries and crucifxions take
deepest root of humanity-the triumphs
of might are transient-they pass and
are forgotten-the sufferings of rights
are craven deepest on the chronicle of
nations"

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT

The Republican press, without
exceptions, are giving a vigorous
support to the proposed amendment
to our State Constitution, while the
opposition press are out in all
manner of objections, such as if
adopted and the negroes are per-
mitted to vote they might vote for
repudiating the public debt! and
are in agony Of soul over the tho't
of DISTINGUISHING the soldiers
Poor fellows, don't they know that
the amendment does not contemplate
DISTINGUISHING a single honorable
soldier, but just those, who, like the
South, brought disgrace and dis
franchisement upon themselves
The laws of all nations punish de-
serters in time Of war, more severe
ly than this amendment proposes to
punish those who, after taking an
oath to support the government,
and being fed, clothed and paid by
said government, when the hour Of
trial came, left their comrades and
went over to the enemy or fed to
some other country to prevent be-
ing compelled to return to their
standard. Why is it they feel so
solicitous about the soldiers now?
Did they not during the war say all
Of false and malignant
things about them, calling them
Lincoln's hirelings, satraps, thieves
and robbers, and pronounce the war
a failure? But now the soldier is a
gentleman, and next to the dear
Southern brethren, they love him.
Let the soldier be not deceived by |
5hese oily tongues. tits only your
vote they want, after which you will
still be hireling and Jacobin,-Co-
Hne6US Republic.

- In reply to the assertion that
social equality must necessarily fol-
low the grant Of political rights to
the negro, the Tuscarawas Advo-
cate makes the following state
ment;
Several years ago a Democrat
ic' white woman, in this country,
married a negro who voted the
Demo cratic ticket. And more re-
Gently the daughter of q strong
Democrat, rather than marry white
Democrat, united herself to negro.
But does it follow that because a
few Democrats made fools of
themselves by thus mixing races
that all Democrats must do the
same? We think not. We furth-
er think that political equality had
nothing to do with these marriages
it is simply a matter of taste, the
girls preferring the darkies to
Democrats Of course, if any
man is afraid that if the black man
votes, his daughters will be led to
marry negroes, we shall expect that
man to vote against the Constitu-
tional Amendment"

WIFE WHIPPING IN ENGLAND -
The London Spectator says that of
all the ofenses, the one which in
England is most difficult to check is
that Of torturing wives. "What
with the reluctance Of wives to i'm
prison their bread winners the bru-
tality Of the population, the blunted
feelings of magistrates brought in
to hourly contact with rufianism;
and the existence of a secret belief
that wives must be kept in order
somehow, it is safer to beat a wife
nearly to death than to steal a hare.

For the Herald.
Why I Will Vote for the Consti-
tutional Amendment.

l. Because the colored man is the
friend of the government; his bones
bleaching on hundred battlefelds
attest his fidelity and devotion. He
stood by me and my country when
we greatly needed his help against
traitors; it would be base and cow
ardly in me to desert him now.
2. Every department of the Gen
eral Government acknowledges him
a citizen; Ohio acknowledges him
a citizen; South Carolina acknowl-
edges him a citizen; General Wade
Hampton, who owned two thousand
slaves before emancipation took
place acknowledges his citizenship;
and although a Lordly Democrat
deigns to treat him with respect,
and ask him for his vote, ! would
not have a rebel General more gen
erous to his enemies than I am to
my friends. l would not have Ohio
treat her friends as enemies, while
South Carolina treats her enemies
as friends. My Democracy leads |
me to have my State at least the
equal of South Carolina by giving
the right of suffrage to every citizen.
3. If taxation without representa-
ton is injustice to white men, it is
injustice to eolored men, and
would not be so mean as to do in
Justice to negro.
4. It will give him an opportuni-
5y of becoming a more useful man
and a better citizen without making
lim my equal. It viii not compel

THE EAT MAN.

Eyes, num-" said Bridget.
All that morning, Bridget, be-
tween each whisk of her dish cloth,
kept a bright lookout from the
window, and no moving creature
escaped her watchful gaze. At last
her industry seemed about to be re-
warded, for down the street came a
large, portly gentleman, fourishing
a cane and looking the very picture
of good humor.
Sure, there's the fat man now,"
thought Bridget! and when he was
in front Of the house, out she flew,
and informed him that her mistress
wished to speak to him.
Speak to me, my good girl -
replied the old gentleman.
YES, sir; wants to speak to you
and says would you be kind
enough to walk in, sir!"
This request, so direct, was not
to be refused, so, in state of some
wonderment, up the steps went the
gentleman, and up the stairs went
Bridget, and knocking at the mis- /.
tress' door, put her head in and ex-
claimed

The mortified mistress saw the
state of the case Immediately, and a
smile wreathed itself about her lips
in spite of herself, and she after

"WiIl you pardon the terrible |

TIIE BRIDAL.
BY 4 DECIDEDLY CONFINED BACHELOR


Not laugh was heard, nor a Joyous note,
As our friend 10 the bridal we hurried;
Not a wit discharged his farewell shot,
As the bachelor went 10 be married.
We married him quickly to save his fright,
Our heads from the sad sight turning;
And we sighed as We stood by the lamps
dim light,
To thiuk he was not more discerning.
To think that a bachelor free and bright,
And shy Of the sex as we found him,
Should there at the alter at dead Of night,
Be caught in the snare that bound hila.
Few and short were the words we said,
Though Of wine aud cake partaking,
We escorted him home from the scene Of
dread,
While his kneoS were awfully shaking.
Slowly and sadly we marched him down
From the first 10 the lowcrmost story;
And we never have heard or seen the poor
man
Whom we left alone in his glory.
