The Border Editor.

The editor of the Owykee Avalanche, by
wayof describing his agreeable vocation,
as conductor Of froGtier paper, makes the
following interesting reflections:
Oh, the felicity of editing paper -
Charming, agreeable. in horn Fascina-
ting, attractive occupation, but 30 difficult
to appreciate. How nicely and smoothly
one gets along without an ''onpleantness. ,"
For instance, in recent issue we referred
directly to a rufian know as Capt. Prescott,
and incidentally to q guerrilla named AL.
Cage. We did this in justice to ourselves
and community at large. The other day,
while quietly seated in our sanctum, taxing
our brain for more copy, in responee to the
everlasting cry of the "deVil," the above
named villains, one of them armed with a
hatcbet, and the other with bowie-kniie of
large dimensions, made violent attack up
on our person. The only alternative was
to fight or die. We accordingly seized a
large knife, about two feet long, used for
cutting paper. and bled our assailants pref
" freely. They sued for mercy. We
spared their worthless lives and told them
to dust. and they got up and busted, We
would take this occasion to state. tha. if ev-
er they or any one else attack US with the
intention Of doing US bodily harm, We will
shoot them dead IN their tracks or cut their
throats from ear to ear.

On being put to vote, the report OF the
committee was adopted and the committee dis
charged.
The following resolution was then submitted
and adopted:
Resoloed, That the government shall, in its
discretion, add from ten to twenty names to
the list OF directors, so as to include, if posi-
Bile, q representative from each State.
After the adoption Of the last resolution the
Convention adjourned sine die.
The business Of both sessions was character
lied by degree Of earnestness worthy Of the
object for which the delegates were drawn
hither. The remedying Of existing evils in the
shipment Of cotton, the development of South
ern resources in manufacturing cotton goods,
the cultivation of friendly feelings and mutual
interests between planters and manufacturers,
and the effect which such accomplishment
would exercise on the commercial prosperity of
the nation, were incidentally alluded to. The
planters and manufacturers each had q mutual
interest to advance, and both pledged them
selves to the carrying out OF the plans for the
formation Of IN association which, it was con-
tended, could not fail in securing 10 the con-
sumer as we'll as to the producer beneficial re-
suits not heretofore enjoyed. 3

formed and adopted State government which
is Republican in form, shall be entitled to
representation when the Legislature Of the
State shall have duly ratified the fourteenth
article proposed as an amendment to the con-
stitution Of the United States, and on the Con-
dition that the State constitution shall never

Representatives, this morning, committee OF

nelly and Washburne case. with power TO send

Saturdays proceedings from the record
caused much excitement, but was with

IMPEACHMENT.
In the Impeachment Court Bingham spoke
all day, and will not conclude till tomorrow.
His argument is very lame. II is now thought
that the verdict will not be ready before next
week.
Mr.. Bingham disavowed any partisan preju'
dices. He was there as the representative OF
the people. In the course of his remarks ne
frequently applied the term ''hired' to the
Presidents counsel, and said that the speech
of Mr.. Evarts contained more Latin thar law,
more rhetoric than logic, and more iutellec-
tual pyrotechnics than either. He argued that
the President had no right to construe laws,
and insisted that the Supreme, Court had nc
possible jurisdiction in the case. Had it come
to this that the laws were only to be executed
if it pleases his highness, Andrew johnson,
first king Of the United States. II the Presl-
dent can do this, Dis his advocates claim, the
constitution which We had been taught to re-
we're as the bulwark Of our liberties, is con-
stitution Of anarchy-a constitution which M
yites violation Of the law, not obedience to it.
If senators should countenance this plea, they
would be the architects Of their oountry's ruin;
they would give over the land to endless chaos
and anarchy. No matter what demagogues
may say about it, out Of this chamber the issue
is anarchy in the land.
This evenings Star has the following: '1m-
peachment stock 1uctuates hour by hour. To
day, tor some unexplained reason; it is ,shasy.
The President and his counsel are confident OF
his acquittal. According TO their calculations,
not more than thirty-two senators at the out
side will vote for conviction"

INDIA GIRLS.

In certain parts of India great number
of girls are still murdered Immediately aft
er their birth; and, indeed, this horrible
custom is found not only among poor fam
lilies, hut in rich and very noble houses
The wife of an India rejah had five daugh-
tcrs, and all Immediately after birth, at the
fathcrs's command, and in conformity 10 Gus
tom, were put to death. At length the
mothers love prompted her to lay some
plan BY which the next might be preserv-
ed, and accordingly. with the he p of a
trusty servant, the sixth child, also girl,
was secretly rescued. The father gave
the usual bloody order, but without his
knowledge it was not fulfilled. and the
child was reared in secret. True. the
mother never dared to see it, for fear Of
betraving it, and she died without having
tasted the mothers inward joy of pressing
her child but once to her bosom. In In
dia the girls are remarkable for their bean
ty. Their eyes are black and brilliant,
their features soft and full of expression.-
This maiden, too, grew up to full measure
of Youthful beauty, and her nurse and rel
atves consequently believed that they
might now boldly present her to her father;
if they could not rely on the fathers heart,
yet her beautiful innocence, they thought,
would secure her life tne more so as she
was the perfect image OF her mother. A
favorable moment was chosen to Introduce
TO the father his child. Richly attIred she
approached the astonished chief, fell down
at his fe,t and exclaimed :"My father ran |
the father? For moment love struggled
in his bosom with his usual proud, hard
feelings, but he drew his sword from his
sheath, and with blow struck off the head
of the lovely child.
