SMOKE AS A SoIAcE.-The short-pipe OF
the hod.carrier is just as good to him as the re.
aalias could be that cost $500 thousand in
Havana and sixty cents each in New York.
II Won were to give him one of those regalias,
ha monld prefer to cut it up and smoke it in
his pipe, and then he would not find it as good
as the tobacco he usually smokes. The poor
laborer' pipe, therefore, is potent equalizer.
To the enjoyment of pleasures purely luxurious
there is q limit which is soon reached and |
maintain that a poor man gets as much OF this
kind of pleasure out of his pipe as prince or
q railroad king can extract from all the costly
wines and viands of the table.
It there is man in the world who ought to
smoke, that ancient hod-carrier is the man. A
stronger case for smoking cannot be selected
from ordinary lfe-Atlantlc Magazine.

Negroes Ineligible to Omoo,

Negroes cannot hold Office, unless
the right be conferred upon thom by
some express and positive enactment
to that effect. Unless the laws of
Congress have, by usurpation upon
tho rights Of the States, taken this
matter, as they have tho matter OF
suffrage from the States, it question
to be determined exclusively by
the States. And unless the constitu-
ton of a State expressly provides that
negroes shall be entitled to hold Office,
they cannot do 50 in that State.
lst. Does the Congressional Civil
Rights bill confer the right to hold of.
fec on tho ncgroo No, it clearly
docs not. 1t only confors such civil
rights as womon enjoy, and it was only
by great strotch Of military tyranny,
that it was cvor interpreted to in.
clude the right to sit upon tho jury.
This is so evident that the Congress
that passed it, admit that il docs not
confor even tho right to vote, and
therefore, in the third scction of tho
l1th constitutional mcndmcnt, they
prescribe, that any States denying to
citizens tho privilege of voting, shall
only havo representation in Congress
iii proportion to tho numbor of voters
in that State.
2d. Wo need not say That tho llth
amendment, containing such section
as tho above, plainly admitting tho
right of each Sta to regulate SuD,uqe,
and prescribing representation in pro.
portionto thcenumbcr of voters In
each State, cannot confer the higher

The Late War--A Ploody Exchange
Ideas, N03.

Tho idea for which tho South
fought, then, VIC hold. to have been
the indcstructibility of tho States ;
the idea for which tho North fought
was the pcrpetuity of tho Union.
The result of the war will be an CO..
ciongc of these two ideas. The South
has accepted tho idea for which the
North fought The North, with the
election of Seymour and Blair, or if
not, then, after another convulsion
originating at tho Nortl, itself, will
accept tho indcstructibility of tho
States. And when these two princi-
pies, apparently as opposite and in
consistent with one another as tho
centrifugal and contripctal forces of
the earth, shall have been settled
beyond dispute, we will have pro-
gross and peace.
