Decorations form the subject of in
vestigation OF a writer in the New York
Eusning Post. He states that n thou.
sand eight hundred Belgians wear de-
corstions of the Order of Leopold, and
that sixty-four thousand Frenchmen
wear decorations of the Legion of Hon.
or. The proportion of the decorated to
the undecorated is, in Belgium, one to
one hundred and sixty-six. His con-
clusion is, that any one who has a de-
sire for ribbons will prefer Belgium to
France as q place of residence.

Rousseau.

When Gen. Rousseau was before the Sen
ate as nominee for an honorable place in
the u ). army, fair minded and liberal Re.
publican Senators considered it unwise to
confirm him. 1t was asserted with vehe-
mence that notwithstanding Rousseau S gal
lantry as soldier, he was at heart in SYM
pathy with traitors. This assertion produced
profound feeling among Senators,
and Rousseau was confirmed with less cor
dial and approving feeling than any soldier
who had secured the approval of the SEN
ate. Late events have proved that what
was asserted OF Rousseau when before the
Senate was and is true. The President has
selected this soldier as the head of the com
mission to proceed to Walruseia for the pur-
pose OF managing the proceedings of trans
ferrlng that territory to the United States
On his way to Washington to receive in
structions Rousseau passed through New
Orleans, and he scarcely reaches the federal
capital before Gen. Grant receives a letter
from Gen. Sheridan, in which that officer
complains of Rousseau's conduct, he having
freely mingled with the rebels of the Cres
cert city, urging them to defy the military
authority in force in Louisiana, and by act
and speech, teaching a forced resistance to
Gen. Sheridan. Sheridan has written these
facts 10 Gen. Grant, bitterly denouncing the
conduct of Rousseau. Rousseau is now or
soon will be on his way to our Russian
American possessions, and when he reaches
lis Department will, of course, leave no
statement unmade to enlighten the people
of that region that the rebellion of the
shareholders was just, that the traitors of |
the lately revolted States are the true men
of the country, and that the ''lost cause
will be battled for as soon as its upholders
can raise the means and perfect their plans.
Rousseau believes this and so stated to the
rebels of New Orleans. Why then should
he not publish the same convictions to the !
people of the Department which he goes to
OF course he will, and with
the knowledge that he intends to do SO An
drew johnson has sent him on his present
mission. Such are the men whom the Pres
dent uses to accomplish his mischief.

SIGNS OF RAIN-Just before rain, flow
ers smell stronger and sweeter, because the
vapors of the air prevent the scented parti
cles OF their perfume from ascending, as
they would in a drier atmosbhere In
stead of rising above the earth, the odor is
disseminated by the moisture. Because the
plants are stronger in fragrance just before
a fall of rain, we see horses stretch out their
necks and sniff the air in peculiar manner.
Animals arc more observing than man, and
nature speaks of them iu a silent manner.
They thus are able to prognosticate the
coming storm with unerring certainty. while
man. often stands bewiidered and lost in
doubt

that the provision of the act of Congress of
February 25th, 1862, declaring the notes is
sued In pursuance of that act to be lawful
money, and legal tender, Is uncohstitu-
hondl"
On the whole, then we are of opinion
such decision springs from looking at the

A mothers love, how pure. how deep,
How ceaseless in its f1owi
Love, tb at lifelong watch can keep,
And no abatement know,
When her frail children first draw breath,
Il kindles to q fame,
And till her eye-lids close in death,
Buruseser on. the same.
That fame burns on, still clear and high,
In sunshine and in storm.
Though grief may dim her watchful eye,
Or labor bow her form.
Alike where steadfast virtue crowns
Herchidren's honored name,
Or. on their guilt stern world frowns-
Burns ever on, the same
Alone. the mothers quenchless love,
Where'er her children stray
Shines like the dsy-star from on high,

Some very amusing and rather tough
stories are told of the political canvass In
Kentucky. One of them is related by the
Frankfort Commonwealth 1t says "We
learn that one of the rebel Democratic can
didates for representative in this county,
in one of his speeches. recently accused his
competitor with having Furnished the Uni
ted States Government with horses to be
used in putting down the rebellion. The
accused party replied that he had contract
to furnish horses to the Government; that
he had so arranged the place and time of
their delivery as to secure their capture by
John Morgan, who was then on raid in
Kentucky.

1t is reported that in many portions of
the South negroes are bringing suit against
their former masters for wages from Janua-
ry /, 1868, the date Of the emancipation
proclamation, to the end of the war in 1865,
during which time, although free by law,
they were held in bondage, and received no
compensation for their services. We trust
that Mr.. Stanberry will examine this point,
and favor the country with an opinion. At
all events it is interesting to see it raised,
and may teach the legal insurgents that all
the sharp points, its quirks and bubbles,
do not bristle in favor of rebellion.

Thirty Three Years Ago /!

Thirty three years ago, the Democracy
were alapplauding Gen. Jackson for threat
ening to hang John G. Calhoun, for his
agency in the Notification acts of South
Carolina. Jackson held it 10 be treason
able offense, deserving the halter. It was
Democracyin those days to denounce Cal
houn and his teachings as traitorous. But
no,o it is the very quintessence of Democra-
cy-the simon pure, double refined article
to hold as orthodox the Calhoun State Rights
doctrine, in all its length and depth and
breadth. Thirty-three. years ago, for a
State by legislative act to deny the Consti-
tutionality of law of Congress. and refuse
to obey it, was held by the Democracy to be
treason against the Government. aud pun
ishable accordingly. No,o. however. this
same Democracy AYERS that State has a
reserved right to nullify the Constitution
and laws of the General Government. to
possess its forts, rob its arsenals, rillage its
mints and make war upon its people. That
has been Democracy from 1860 to 1867.
Truly, thirty three years wrought wonder.
full change. Instead of Furnishing treason,
Democracy would reward it. Instead of
casting out traitors, Democracy takes them
to its arms. jackson is repudiated, and
Calhoun is exalted. And yet you shall hear
these Democrats swear their Democracy
comes by the line of direct succession from
the hero of New Orleans. They swear by
'Old Hickory" but follow Nullifier-and
then ask the people to give them credit for
honesty and sincerity.
