But all the time wondered

First, how she con,rived TO twist
and keep herself in that shape. Sec
ond, how long she had praoliced il,
as she seemed 10 have got the style,
gait, and all down to fine point.
Thirdly, how it feels.
She evidently thought she would
make sensation, and she did. Ev-
cry body passing along the street
looked AT her. People turned to
gaze on her, small boys ran along
side of her with as much interest as
they would follow circus wagon
drawn by two piebald ponies. Men
driving along the street checked up
their horses to study her at leisure,
as q spectacle too gorgeous to be
taken in at a glance. The prevailing
sentiment was Of wonder mingled
with pity. Suppose she grew into
that shape, u scrt OF inverted note Of
interrogation, 10 walk in that crook
ed way tho rest OF her days !? The
bare supposi,ion made us feel bad.
AS we have sale she was young,
and perhaps kuew-not what she did.
But had shc no friends?

Protest of the Democratic Represen-

nations Of the Radical m = iority.

The undersigned, members OF the
F0rtieth Congress of the United StJtes,
representing directly or in principle
more than One-half of the whole people
of the United States, do hereby, in the
name of law and justice, and IN behalf
of those they represeAt, most solemniy
protest against the tyranny and injus-
tice practised by the majority of the
House in violating the sacred rights OF
free debate and unrestrained delibera-
tion upon the greatest question ever
brought before an American Congress.
The rules of the House, made for the
protection of the minority, and by a
strict adherence to which the weaker
party can only be protected from those
irregularities and abuses which the
wantonness of power is but 100 often
apt to suggest to large and successful
maiorities, have been during this entire
Congress, in violation of their true
spirit and intent, wantonly and
unprecedentedly suspended and set
aside, not upon particular and press
ing matter, but upon all pending
subjects of legislation, SO that by
this reckless and arbitrary suspension
of rules and the wanton abuse of the
previous question, the rights of the NIL

We accord him the benefit OF the minor
reproach.
We would like to know what authority
there is for saying that the Judges con-
dition was not what his physicians affi-
davit stated. Was "the messenger who
served the writ" and to whom reference
is made, produced as o witness before
the Legislature If not, why not and
if bis evidence was not suitable for the
Legislature, why place it before the pub
lief Who is this messenger 1t occurs
to us that ths bill to appropriate meney
for his services was about as barren of
designation for him, rs the IptelIigencer
which quotes him. 1t now asks the pub
lie to credit his anonymous statements,
just as the Legislature compensated his
services as those of a nameless "persou., ;,

and as "ROGUE RIDERHOoD" with his

The question of Judge HINDMAN's
competency" is not a very happy one
for our contemporary to refer to. We
presume, however, that it was raised
upon the trial just as blank cartridge
is put into one of the guns with which
a squad OF soldiers shoot down the victim
of Court Martial. 1t gives an aching
conscience slight reason for
doubt and comfort. Such of the Radi
Gals as may become ashamed (sorry
would be better word) for their course
in this most foul proceeding, may re-
liere their souls with the reflection that
the question of competency" decided
their vote. Nevertheless we have seen
no reason to doubt that Judge HINDMAN
is as competent" now as when our
"loyap Governor appointed him, or
when the "loyap people of the Sth Ju-
dicial District cleo ted him.
Speaking of the Governors appoint
ees, reminds us that NAT. HARRISON is
one of that Glass of fortunate individu-
ais. He, we suppose, represents the
Iatelligemcer's idea of competency
Had Judge HINDMAN come to Wheeling
with character capable of ev-
cry vice and record redolent
with villainy, and had lie by filthiness,
lechery aud debauchery become the scorn
of decent people, been snnbbed in pub
lie, avoided in private and voted a So
cial pest, nuisance and abomination
every where, he would, we infer, have
realized the "loyap idea of "competen-
cy" Wanting the beastly accomplish
ments which HARRISON illustrated in
this city, he is unfit for his position,
not at all qualified to care for loyal
interests, aud FOREMAN was mistaken
in appointing a man who so lacks the
elements of lust and loyalty" Away
with him. Away with him!

either with vigilantees or Others. nor
had they committed any act TO be

nothing to his discredit, and does

for the report. This correction we

known favorably for years, and who
have many friends in this Territory

Two fights have been reported
this week to enliven dull times. One
appeared to be sort of running lire,
in which first one and then the other
had the worst of it. The crowd had
the best of il, from the shouts and

their delight. This fight was between
two colored persons. The other was
a quiet affair, in which whisky was
the aggressor and got the worst OF
the battle.

We clip the following from the
Boise Democrat, which that paper
terms ssHnmors OF the Southern Sit
uation.
IA good Illustration was given lately IN
parish of Louisiana by negro, in speech
on negro equality, as follows my friends,
God Almighty made de white man white He
made de black man black; nobody can't
make 'em nuffen else You know de turkey
he roost on de fence, and de goose ne roost
ON the ground. You may pull de turkey gu
de fence, but he get up again. You crap MS
wings. but somehow or nudder he gwlne 10
get back on de fence. Now, you put de
goose on de fence and he fall of, he don
belong dar Now, dat's white man and mig
ger. white man roost on de fence niger on
de ground"
If God Almighty made so great a
difference between white men and
negroes, why are our Democratic
friends So much alarmed about ''ne-
gro equality" ''social equality, "and
all that sort of nonsense, as If tur-
kew could be made to roost on the
ground or goose on the fence. The
turkey will roost on the fence and it
requires no law TO keep the goose
from crowding him Off. Ii must be
a sick turkey that will get down
among the geese os his own choice,
a, our Democratic friends affect to
fear they will, unless there be laws
passed TO keep the turkey on the
fence and the goose on the ground.
If the turkey feels himself inferior to
the goose in natural qualities, ana
can only keep himself above the lat
ter by strut and pretence, he should
eabble but never attempt to gobbie,
