the institution Of slavery In his State Being elected
TO the state Legislature he distinguished
for his opposition to all measures tending
to benefit slavery, and did much towards
revolutonizing public sentiment In st. Louis
where ne resided. In 1865 he was elected to
Congress az q republican, and was reelected by in
creased maorties in ls5s and $780, Throughout
these years he never ceased his efforts against the
peculiar institution" and the Kansas Territory
difficulty found him an earnest advocate OF free
soil doctrines At the commencement OF the rebel
lion Of 1861 he was among the nrst to organize
troops for the defence Of st. Louis and Missouri;
and In conjunction with Captain afterwards Gene
raj Lyon, raised the forces known "a the Missouri
Home Guards-one OF the most Important
Union organizations at that eventful period
of civil disturbances in that state. He
was made commander Of the First regiment and
sisted in the capture OF Camp Jackson, st. Louis on
May 10, 1881, which capture was among the first OF
the severe blows struck at the rebellion after the fall

IHFERHAL GENIUs.-Genius is admirable when
It Is of a noble order and directed in the right
channel. Otherwise it is to be hated and con-
temned. In the matter of the impeachment trial
now in progress at Washington, there is an inns
mense amount of great genius manifested, but it
Is of the malicious, develish, Internal sort. But
Ter manfests it in his persevering and tortuous
efforts to secure the conviction Of the President;
Stanton manifests it in the way he manipulates
the War Department anu telegraph, getting up
Moseby scares in aid of Butler; Conness exhibits
it in his manoeverings to keep out evidence
which might bother Butler, Bingham Co.. the
majority of the Senate give proof of it, in persis
tenty ruling out all evidence which might tend
to explain the Presidents acts and to expose the
atrocious designs of his prosecutors. Besides,
there is a vast amount of the smaller sort of in
fernal genius manifested by the Trays, Blanches,
and SWeethearts the radical press, in concoch
ing lies against the President. Though Mr.
johnson has no organized political party to sups
port him, though be has no patronage, though
bis veto is powerless, though his power as Com
mander.in- Chief of the Army and Navy has been
ical papers and leaders fear him as mortal man
never before was feared, and show the most re-
splendent genius Of cowardce aud meanness in
their innumerable efforts to destroy the object of
their bate and fear, whose Only power is inlthe
justice of his cause. Though they may eventu>
ally succeed, history will record that his moral
power, in the justice of his cause, was so great,
It took the combined efforts of radical internal
genius over two years to accomplish his overs

GEN. WAsHlNGToN's LAST VoTE.-The
Father of his Country was conscientious in
the discharge Of every duty as citizen, and
never failed to vote. The last occasion of
his doing so was in the spring of 1899, in the
town Of Alexandria He died on the l1th,
of December following. The CourtNhouse of
Fairfax comfy was then over the old market
house, and Immediately fronting Gadsby's
tavern. The entrance into it was BY slight
fight Of crazy steps on the outside, and while
the election was progressing several thous'
and persons being assembled around the
polls, Washington drove up in his we'll
known carriage. The crowd spontaneously
gave way and made lane for him to pass
through as be approached the Courthouse.
A gentleman who was at Gadsby's door saw
eight or ten good looking men Immediately
spring forward and follow the General up the
steps in order to uphold and support him
if necessary. According to the custom OF
that time, the five or six candidates were
sitting on the bench, who rose in body and
bowed profoundly on the entrance Of Wash
inglon Very gracefully returning their
sslutation the register of the polls said :
swell, Geneaal, how do you vote ?' (It was
then by vipa uoce). He looked at the cand-
idates, and replied: "Gentlemen, l vote for
measures, not for men )" and having audibly
pronounced his vote, he made another grace'
full bow and retired. He was loudly cheered
by the outside crowd on returning to his car

cannot get it to do. The favored ones who
have regular occupation, find that with the
ruling high prices prevailing, they can hard,

against sickness, or other Unforeseen misfor-
