Prophecies OF CLAY AND CALHOUN
In lS43, Henry Clay, who led the Whig>
hosts 10 the campaign of 1874, made the
following prophecy:
The agitation of slavery in the free States
will
lst. Destroy all harmony.
I'd. Lead to division.
Sd. To poverty.
4th. To war.
5th. To the determination of the black
race.
9th. To ultimate despotism.
"The blacks, and the proAigate whites that
might unite with them, would become the
principal recipients of the Federal offices
aud patronage, aud would, in consequence,
be raised above the whites of The South
in the political and social scale. We would
in word, change our condition with them,
degradation greater than has yet fallen to
the lot of free aud enlightened people, and
one from which we could not escape, should
emancipation take place (Which it certainly
will if not prevented). by fleeing the homes
of our ancestors, aud by abandoning our
country to our former slaves, to become the
permanent abode of disorder, anarchy, power.
ty, misery aud wretchedness."

DEBATE ON BRooMALL's BILL.-A Washington
special of the 18th to the Cincinnati Enquirer
says:
The debate in the House on Broomal's bill TO

government, or, in plain words, to establish negro
suffrage. was interesting. Bro0mall Of COURSE

man, and in his remarks condemned decision of
the supreme Court of Pennsylvania when Wood

judges, which denied suffIa age to negroes. VOID
ward rejoined, aud cited the decision Of Judge
Agnew. q republican Of that State, in which ne
had affirmed that celebrated decision OF Judge
Gibson which asserts that the negroes had never
entered into the social compact of our govern

Mr.. Knott, Of Kentucky. denounced the bill in
vigorous terms. Thsd. Stevens spoke in favor of

The manner in which the amendment to
the internal revenue bill was rushed through
Congress is even more discreditable to the Re-
publican managers than we had at first sup
posed. The bill was an innocent and desira-
BILE piece of legislation as introduced, and
was SO recognized by members of all parties
Dufing the height of an agitation occurring
just after an alteration between Messrs.
Logan and Wyck, Mr.. Schenck rose'and asked
the unanimous consent of the House to take
up this bill. Without unanimous consent it
would have had to go over, by the rules. The
object was understood by the Republicans;
the Democrats were silenced by an appeal to
their courtesy, because they did not suspect
trick; the bill was taken up, and the minority
lost their power to obstruct or delay it. Bat
even then the Democrats remained in ignor-
ance of the motives of Schenck and his col
leagues in conspiracy. The amendment was
tackled on in the midst of the noise and con-
fusion and declared adopted by the speaker,
and the bill was finally passed and sent to the
Senate, where it was jerked through in the
same manner. 1t was not until the official
proceedings were published that the Demo-
Gratis knew how they had been duped; or,
rather, how they had been induced tc grant
an ordinary courtesy to their political oppo-
nents on the strength of bare-faced lie

The case of that model Of carpet-baggery
Street Commissioner Baker, as it appears by
the evidence thus far supporting the charge
of perjury which is brought against him, is
enough to make ones head ache. An instance
of more complicated peridy and perjury than
the er pdrte statement of the case presents is,
perhaps, not anywhere recorded in criminal
annals. According to the official certi-
fcate of the British consul at this port,
Baker, in 1865, took out papers OF
nationality as British subject, upon his
own affidavit that he was loyal subject OF
Great Britain, and entitled to its protection
accordingly. This, of course, implied either
that be was not naturalized citizen of the
United States, or that ne renowned such
naturalization. But, in 1853, the same man,
as an official incumbent, takes an oath de-
claring himself a loyal citizen of the United
States, and qualified as such to hold office
under its laws. Even supposing that he took
steps to renaturalize in this country, the pro-
cess could not now be complete, since it
requires five years. whereas only three have
elapsed. This curious tangle of duplex
loyalty and disloyalty, Duration and abjur-
alton, may be commended to the luminous
mind of Bakers puissant patron, Gen. o. s.
Grant, to unraveI.

A SENSIBLE EDIToR.-There is Q newspaper
printed in English in the City Of Mexico called
the Two Republics. From the last number of 1t
which we received we extract The following:
To CoyTespondents.-We must repeat the no
tice TO our correspondents, that they must write
Iegibly on one side of the paper, or their commu-
nIcsiions cannot appear. Several excellent com
nunications have been receiyed-this we know
from spelling out isolated parts-vhich are on
hand and cannot be published until they are
written over. We have been troubled, also, by
applications 10 write ont from original manuscript
laid communications. which we have been COM
PEELED TO decline, because we have neither the
time for nor can we endure the labor Of such busi
ness. Gentlemen must prepare their own CON-
munications. We have not the time or inclination
TO perform tbat kind Of labor. Communications
redounding purely to personal benefit. must be
paid for, If 10 the news columns. double the adj
vertisiDg price, and always in advance. There
are many persons who labor under the mistaken
idea that their business matters interesting to
our readers. To all such we must say that we
prefer placing news In our columns
Ore Of the greatest annoyances Of our news
paper life is the correction Of the bad grammar,
bad punctuation, and almost iIlegible manuscript
of correspondents. 1t is so easy to learn how to
write and punctuate properly, that it is strange
any one should neglect to have those accom-
plisbments. We have been frequently tempted
to throw away valuable manuscripts because the
writer's paid no attention whatever to the rules OF
punctuation; or else wrote in so illegibIe man
ner that no printer would receive it at his case
without using cuss " words. The late John N.
Daniel, the distinguished editor of the Richmond
Examiner, used to say that mau who appeared
before the public at party or an assemblsge
ought to have on his neatest and best clothes
and, in like manner. man who appeared in
print ought to have bis ideas expressed properly
and dramatically. How often this very ex EEL
lent precept is violated no one knows better
than the editor of daily newspaper. who has to
spend so much Of his time in the correction Of the
manuscripts sent him.
While upon this subject we may as well give
the resson-which the public generally do not
seem to understand-why the request is so often
made by newspapers that correspondents should
write upon only one side of a sheet OF paper. 1t
is frequently necessary in the Office of daily
newspaper to cut up page Of manuscript in
three or four takes,n as 1t Is technically called,
and to give them out to different printers. ANY one
can see that when the manuscript is written on
both sides of the paper it is likely to give great
trouble, and indeed, apt to produce confusion and
mistakes. Correspondents should bear this in
mind, and not annoy compositors and proof
readers, and risk the proper publication of their
favors, by writing on both sides of q sheet of
paper.
