with the rspidity they move and the
number engaged N il.

"Well, I'm sorry for you," said Smith,
tying his cravst at the glass. 1.-THE very

the nauseatipg fumes of tobacco at an
hour when it was impossible to air it,

sleep of the just, with not glimmering
of an idea that he was not the unselfshest
and lovingest of husbands. Indeed, had
his wife questioned it, he would have
pointed her to that column in the daily
papers where accounts are given oi
husbands who make it practice to crack
their wives skulls once week; and
placing his arms akimbo with stern look,
would have asked her with his nose close
to her face; "What if she had such a
husband as that?"

Further along the same platform en-
phatically declares the Southern State gov
ernments to be high7handed usurpauons,
unconstitutional, revolutionary and void
Another plank demands amnesty for all
past political Offences" when in point of
fact johnson had proclaimed such amnesty
several days before the platform was
adopted. II can therefore only refer TO
jeff Davis and Surratt, both of whom are
under indictment and out ON bail. Another
plank demands the regulation of the
elective franchise in the States by their
citizens" What can this mean? In an
the States represented in COngress-thirty-
four in number-the franchise is regulated
by the citizens, and equal suffrage is guar
anteed in the remaining three States
which have not yet completed their organi-
zations

they include State sovereignty and the
