Montgomery Legislature.

A futter was caused in the Ala
bama Legislature on the 18th.
Governor Smith sent to the Sen
ate, where it originated, veto OF
the bill authorizing the Legisla-
ture to cast the electoral vote, of
the State. Governor Smith says :
after most mature reflection, I
am forced to the conclusion that
the bill is wrong in principle, and
that it would be dangerous pre-
cedent in a Republican Govern
ment. AS my judgment does not
approve the bill, it is my constitu-
tional duty to return it to the
Senate with my objections. 1t
cannot but be regarded as remark
able, that the first Republican
Legislature convened in Alabama
shall. in the face Of the principles
of it's organization, which every
Republican processes to hold dear,
deny not only to the colored but
to the white man, the right by
his vote to indicate his choice for
a President and Vice-President of
the United States, and take the
matter in it's own hands. What
excuse can there be for it ? 1t is
mere party expediency? If so,
then it is an abandonment of prin-
ciples, or an acknowledgement
that the material out of which
the Republican party is composed,
canpot be trusted. In other words,
it is to say that the colored men
will not do to be trusted. This
action of the General Assembly
will be regarded as still more re-

HThe Terrible COunter-ReVO
luton Approaching"

The New York Herald is be-
coming alarmed at the drift Of the
popular current, and is getting
ready to abandon Grant. In it's
issue ofSaturday last it says:
The figures as they come in
from Kentucky, are mounting up
for the Democratic majority. The
last returns, which we published
yesterday, set down eighty thou
sand majority for Stevenson, the
Democratic candidate for Cover
nor and these returns represent
the country districts, from which
they come in slowly, and will prob
ably show larger gains, according
as they are received. The result
of the June election in Oregon was
quite as remarkable an evidence
that the people are awake to the
multifarious mischief which the
Radical party has wrought in its
administration of the government.
We cannot, therefore, shut our
eyes to the direction Of these
straws which show how the wind
blows, The Republican majority

MAKING LOVE WITH UMBRELLAS

MAKING LOVE WITH UMBRELLAS.
"A certain dramatic writer, being
caught in a shower of rain, took
refuge under the portico Of a hand
some dwelling in New York. AS
soon as he had taken the position
window was opened, and a lovely
female face appeared, VIII c b
seemed to beam with sympathy
and anxiety. She SOON retired,
and sent him an umbrella By a
servant. He fell at once despor-
ately in love, and thinking from
her anxious looks that the feeling
was reciprocated, he called on her
the next morning, sent up his card,
and gave into her own hand very
costly umbrella he had purchased
in place of the old and shabby
one he had borrowed, and then
wound up all by making a pro-
fession of love. The young lady,
without even noticing the exchange
that had been made, perceiving
how her act had been misinterpre-
ted, naivcly replied II feel it to
be my duty to undecieve you, sir.
At the time of the shower I was
anxiously expecting a gentleman
who is, I confess, very dear to me,
who wished to see me in private,
and my only motive for sending
you the umbrella was to get you
off the steps,"

ADVANTAGES OF ASSOCIATION Be-
TWEEN THE SExEs.-What makes
those men who associate habituallF
with women superior to othersf
What makes that woman who Isl
accustomed to an air of ease in the
company of men superior to her
sex in general ? Solely because
she is in the habit Of a free, grace
full and continual conversation
with the other sex. Women in
this way lose their frivolity, the
faculties awaken, their delicacies
and peculiarities unfold all their
beauty and captivation in the
spirit OF intellectual rivalry. And
the men lose their pedar+ic, rude,
declamatory or sullen manner,
The coin Of the understanding
and the heart is interchanged
continually. Their asperities are
rubbed of, their better materials
polished and brightended, and
their richness, like fine gold, is
wrought into finer workmanship,
by the figure of women, than it
ever could be by those men. The
iron and steel of our character are
laid aside, like the harshness of
warrior in a time Of peace and
security.

Honorable COurtShip.

We heard a pretty incident to-
day, which we cannot help rela-
ting. A young lady from the
South. it seems, was wooed and
won by youthful physician
living in California. When the
engagement Was made the doctor
was rich, having been successful
at San Francisco. It had not
existed many months, when BY
an unfortunate investment he
lost his entire " heap" The
event came upon him, it should
be added, just as he was about to
claim his bride. What should he
do? Why, as an honorable and
chivalrous young man, as he Is, he
sits down and writes the young
lady the particulars ofthe unhappy
turn which had taken place in his
fortunes, assuring her that if the
fact produces any change Of
feeling toward him: she was re.
leased all the promises she had
made to him. And what does she
do, the dear, good girl! Nhy'
she takes lump Of pure gold;
which her lover had sent her in
his prosperity, as keepsake, and
having it manufactured into airing,
forwards it to him with the follow
ing Bible inscription engraved on
the outside.
"Entreat me not to leave thee,
or to return from following after
thee for whittier thou goest |
will 60, and where thou lodgest |
will lodge thy people shall be my
people, and thy God my God ;
where thou diest I will die and
there will I be buried the Lord
do so to me and more also, if
aught but death part me and
thee"
The lover idolized his sweet
heart more than ever when he
received this precious evidence Of
her devotion to him in both storm
and sunshine, We may add that
fortune soon again smiled upon
the young physician, and that he
subsequently returned to the South
to wed the sweet girl he loved,
and who loved him with such an
undying affection: Young ladies'
who read the Bible, as the heroine
of this incident seems to have
done, are pretty sure to make
good sweethearts and better
wives.-LouisulUe Journal.

capable, and the least honest
of the white race, with an inter
mixture of blacks, most Of whom
cannot read or write. The new
governments, too, are started with
the fundamental condition, i'm
posed by their constitutions and
enforced by the terms of their ad-
mission into the Union, that the
universal S, ffrage shall never be
changed. What future, then, is
before those States! Bound for
ever-if the scheme is capable Of
lasting-to an irreversible and un-
changable condition of society,
that condition being that gross ig-
| norance and absolute poverty shall
hold more political power than
intelligence and property; that
laws shall not be made by those
who are best but shall be made by
those who are least, qualified to
make them and that no man shall
hold office or cast vote who does
not first take an oath that be be-
lievcs in the political and social
equality of races on which the
hand Of Heaven has stamped in
delible marks of relative inferiority
and superiority which have always
been developed and always opera
ted whenever they have been
brought in contact.
The prospect is melancholy
enough. One thing, however, ap-
pears to us clear, whether the one
party or the other prevails in the
approaching Presidential election.
1t is, that this condition Of things
in the South cannot continue. 1t
is a kind Of legislation that is i'm
practicable for any but a tempo
rary and fictitious purpose. 1t is
scheme which may possibly give
the electoral votes of the recon
structed States to the Republican
candidates; but as the basis of the
future polity and condition Of civil
lied States, it is TOO manifestly a
violation OF the ordinances Of Provi-
dence to remain long in operation.
Daniel Webster once said-speak-
ing of the impossibility of intro
ducing African slavery into a re-
gion where it was excluded by the
irresistible forces of climate and
soil-that it was useless to re:en-
act the laws of God. Its worse
than useless to legislate against
His laws; and that it is one Of His
laws that educated intelligence,
experience and virtue shall govern
the affairs Of this world is certain.
A people who so shape their laws
as to reverse this condition Of our
nature will find that there is law
above them stronger than they
can frame.
