Admission of Arkansas.

The bill for the admission of Arkansas
passed the House on Friday. In order to
show how they do things in that body, We
will give a statement of the facts. The
bill was introduced by Stevens, and the
previous question demanded. Mr.. Spald.
ing, Radical from Ohio, then inquired if
the party expected him to vote for con-
stitution be had never seen, much less
read" Stevens insisted on its passage,
and, notwithstanding the fact that none of
the members had ever seen the constitu-
ton of Arkansas, llO Radical members
voted for it. What can be thought of q
dellberative body that will resort to such
means for political gain? II any attempt
were made to pass a set of resolutions in a
county convention, without having them
read, they would be voted down, but here
is body, supposed to be composed of the
wisest and most able minds of the country,
making laws for the people, when they do
not even know what the laws are, and dare
not inquire, lest they lose position in their
party. Is it moi about time that such men
should be sent to their houses to learn
common sense, if not justice We think
so, and we believe the people will so ex'
press themselves this fall.

81 Wade and Vengeance

The failure of the Stevens Butler infa-
nv on Saturday last, was turned to Wade's
account at Chicago, by the cry of " Wade
and Vengeance. The cry was vocifer-
ously made by the disappointed gamblers
who lost their money on the failure of the
eleventh article of impeachment, with
hopes of recuperating their pockets from
the Treasury at future day. The Con-
vention from the start seemed to be in the
keeping of the extreme radical branch of
the party. There was a sharp contest in
the Pennsylvania delegation, between Ca
meron and Forney. in which Cameron had
to bite the dust. The contest for Vice
Presidency was at fever heat, and an ele-
ment was openly introduced. that has here
tofore only been regarded with suspicion.
1t was that of openly buying up delega.
tions with money. The several vacancies
in the Southern delegations were offered
to be fled for 500 apiece. The niger
delegates were hugged and treated with gin
cocktails and whiskey punches, by northern
delegates with great liberality, and several
of the niger delegates became quite con
spicuous.

Rough words in the song that sing. If choose.

And that millionaire burglar-Ben. Butler the

All shattered and splotched with the blood they
have shed
Such as Binxham-whose eye balls are scared with

The ghost Of q woman, al sanity and white

Purer soul never sped

Moulders now with the dead
Than thine-who was strangled,

WHAT WILL THE DEMOCRATS Dor

1t has been asked, What will the Dem
ocrats do if we help to place them in pow
err" The question is SO well and appro,
priately answered and SO satisfactorily
summed up, by Gen. w. A. German, Of
Minnesota, in late speech, that we insert
the answer here {:
IF the democracy get power in the
Government, they will reduce the tariff tax
on all your tea, and what you drink and
wear.
They will restore the Union. and turn
over all the Southern States expenses to
be paid by the South alone.
ave will turn out and abolish ten
thousand abolition Freedmen's Bureau of
fce-holders, and save millions of dollars to
the peoples pockets.
awe will bid the South support them
selves, and 60 to raising cotton and sugar,
and we will continue to raise produce to
feed them.
ave will pay the public debt in the
same currency we pay you and the same
you pay each other, and thus save mil
lions more in the pockets of the people.
." If we pay the rich in gold, we will pay
you in gold. If we pay You in paper
money, we will pay the plethoric bond
holders IN paper money.
" We will enact laws to enable you to
buy your goods, where you can buy the
chea pest, and sell where you can get the
best price.
awe will protect labor from the en-
croachments of capital.
I" We will leave each State to govern
itself, limited only by the Federal Consti-
tuition.
ave will reduce the army in the South,
and send them to the Plains to protect
the frontier and new routes to the Far
West.
il" We will restore commerce, peace and
good will between the North and the
South.
"We will reduce taxes. both State and
National.
{" We will lessen the office holders, and
release you from taxation to support them.
"We will enact laws inside and not
outside the Constitution.
ave will restore peace at home and
maintain your honor abroad.
"We will inAugurate day Of modera-
ton, order and good will, instead of hate
and Ill will, as now taught by Jacobin pol
iticians.
d" We will give equal rights to all, and
grant exclusive privileges to none.
i" We will substitute calm statesman
ship for mad Jacobinism.
1--WE will make pets of niggers no long
Ell at the expense OF the whites, nor force
suffrage for them at the expense and a.
cainst the will of those who have created
and maintain the Government"

AN INTERESTING BREACH OF PROM
ISE CASE IN PROVIDENCE.

In the Supreme Court of Rhode Island,
in session at Providence, suit was brought
yesterday by Della U. Albro to recover of
Thomas J, Hill damages to the amount of
100000 for an alleged breach of prom
ise of marriage. The allegations of the
plaintiff, as made by her opening counsel,
are that in the Spring of 1867, the defend
ant was a widower for the second time,
not far from being sixty years of age, of
large means, and carrying on business
scarcely second in magnitude to that Of any
similar establishment in Europe or Amer
ca. He was one that could easily have
persuaded snY woman of any age or condi-
ton to become his wife. About this time
he was looking for a wife, and had his
eyes upon at least three ladies, whose re-
spectiveImerits and capabili,y he was engag-
cd in weighing.
He made inquiries as to the family con-
nections, the personal character and merits
of the plaintiff, calling In the aid of the
science of phrenology, in order to deter
mine the peculiarities of her mind and
character The plaintiff is about forty
years of age, the daughter of the late
William Mason, and her relatives are all
of the first respectabiity. She had been,
since the death of her husband, living with
her mother, wearing her weeds of mourn
ing, and lavishing all her affections upon
her son. Under these circumstances the
defendant began to pay her attention.
Until this time she had supposed that she
never could look with tenderness upon a
person of the other sex, but when the de-
fendant had paid her these attentions, and
had called her noble woman, he became
the centre of her thoughts and sympathies.
The attentions were such as no man has a
right to pay to a woman unless he means to
MARI, her, and resulted in a formal en-
gagement. He was introduced in her fa-
mily as her intended husband, and passed
the Sunday with her at the house of her
father,in-law. He seemed in haste to be
married, and urged forward the prepara--
tions. The plaintiff began to make her
arrangements, received the congratulations
of her relatives, and of whom, with char
acteristic liberallty, sent her package OF
bank notes. Earth became as new to her
all its sounds were music; all It's sights
were things of beauty, and the future was
spanned anew with the bow of Hope. Al
this time the door, bell rang, aud the de.
Gendant came in with cloud on his face
"Delia, said he, came to tell you thai
l am not agoing to marry you" Why,
said she, what misconduct have | beer
guilty Off" His reply was circumstan-
ces prevent me-" He then ceased visit
ing the plaintiff, and has never married
the plaintiff, or made her any compensa-
ton Tor the wrong done her, beyond offer
ing to reimburse her for tho money sh'
expended in preparing her clothes. Sh'
asks damages commensurate with he
wrongs and station of the defendant, who's
income for the year 1866 is stated to hav'

years Immediately preceding also yer.
