SOUTHERN SNCERTT.--Ole mistake we
are apt to make In our estimate Of the
Southern people, They say foolish things
and they threaten such monslrous thugs
that we hesitate to give them that credit
for sincerity to which they are entitled,
The Southern people talk very wildly and
very absurdly; but they mean it, and mean
it all. The North did not credit them in
1860, did not credit them in the long years
while they were threatening aud preparing
for the rebellion: but they did what they
said they would do, or tried to do it. They
mean what they say now. They say that,
il they carry their ticket, they will over
throw the Southern reconstruction. and
will undo all the Republican legislation, so
far as it can be revoked. And they mean
it, The Northern Democrats, whenever
they find an appreciative audience, say
much the same thing. To elect Seymour
is to establish the principles of the rebel
lion, under the lead of the men Of the re-
beilion. 1t is to inaugurate civil war in
the South, to set the State governments,
backed by the Exc c1tive, against the Con-
gress and the laws of the land. What sue
cess they may meet, even with such back
ing, is matter of question but that the
thing will be attempted if they elect Sey-
mour we have no doubt.-Proridence Jour

Senator Wilson very sptly said, in re-

they are peaceable citizens, the better for tke

PROOF READING-There are good
many people who think proof reading one
of the easiest things in the world, and
who get very impatient over mistakes in
books and papers. A writer in the Gal
oay gives some interesting incidents of
typographical errors. He mentions one
edition of the Bible which contained
5000 mistakes. He gives the following
example of the difficulty in the way o.
getting out perfect book. Some pro-
lessons OF the University Of Edinburgh
resolved to publish a book which should
be model of typographical accuracy.
Six proofreaders were employed, and after
1t was bought to be perfect, the sheets
were pasted up in the ball of the Univer
slty, and leward of two hundred and
fifty dollars was offered for every mistake
that should be discovered. When the
book was printed, it was found that it con-
tanned several errors, one being in the title
page, another in the first line in the first
chapter. The only books that are be-
Ieved to be entirely free from errors are
an Oxford edition Of the Bible, London
Lelpsic Horace, aud an American reprint
of Dante.

There seems to be probability that
but little further will be done in either
house till after the Holidays Many I'M
portant bills have been introduced, and
several speeches made That of Ho. ace
Maynard Of Tennessee upon Thad. Stew
ems is spoken Of as follows in a dispatch ::
"The ablest address, by far, both In
ability and elegance of finish, was the one
made by e GRACE Maynard, of Tennessee.
His remarks produced a profound sensa
ton, and for half an hour he attracted
and received the closest attention ever
given to any member of Congress. By
many members it is believed to be the
finest specimen of oratory that has been
heard in the halls of Congress"
A very important bill was introduced
on the 10Th by Gen. Paine, of this State,
making it highly penal fornatioaal banks
to certify checks where the money is not
aotu lily on deposit. The intention Of
this measure we presume is TO pre- sent
INSCRIPTIONS parties who control a certain
amount of ca oital. from having the power
to withdraw large amounts of currency
from circulation as in the case of the late
erie Corners" the Injurious effects of
which extended throughout the whole
country This is wise movement in the
right direction.
The committee which is investigating
the Alaska purchase matter are inclined
to believe that part Of the purchase
money was given to certain Congressman
in consideration of their votes in favor of
the purchase. Our people have come to
regard corruption in Legislatures and
State affairs with fair degree of serenity,
but the idea that a measure has been car
ried through Congress by the aid of brib-
cry is decidedly startling even to us of
Wisconsin. We shall be glad to learn
that the result shows that there was no
ground Tor the suspicion, but we hope
the investigation may DO comple;e and
thorough, regardless Of friendships politi-
cal Or personal. a5a7g gs.a- sss -.
