JEFFERsoN's BIRTHDAY was oesecIased-
Celebrated" they called it - at New York
Monday evening, by Copperhead club called
the State Rights Association. Elk Governor
Seymour of Connecticut responded to the
toast which styled Thomas Jefferson "the
Father of Modern Democracy" This descend
ant of Jefferson told his assembled friends,
among whom he specified the Rev. G. G. Burr
(who did not speak in Connecticut before the
recent election) as "my excellent friend, that
ii might become necessary to "Vindicate" their
right to administer this government, AIDING,
eff YOU are not prepared for that, you need not
undertake the contest"
To the second toast, which described State
Sovereignty as "the fountain of all federal
power and the palladium Of our liberty" Mr..
c. c. Eaton of Connecticut, responded. we
copy the following passage from the world S
report of his speech:
l tell you that the times look more gloomy
| than even during the war. These men are
| determined to destroy State sovereignty and
| State rights. But come what may, niggers
| shall not vote in the State to which l belong.
| Immense applause.) Ours is a white mans
government and so it shall continue or be
| white mems graves. (Renewed applause.
The future OF the country depends upon main
tanning the sovereignty of the States. This is
| nota nation, but a combination of nations a
contederacy of nations, federal republic. As
Madison said long aeO, there is no sovereignty
| IN the Federal Government, because the Fed
| eral Government has no power, except dele
| gated power. A power delegated is not pow
| er surrendered. 1t can be assumed again at
any time. What shall we do in this crisis? P
| The question will be determined in November
next. We must stand together like brothers
no humbug, no epaulettes. (Applause)
| All of which wildly recalls Ex-President
Pierce's mystical talk in 1868 about "a mauso'
leum of hearts" Mr.. Eaton appears to- have
prepared himself to respond to the seventh
toast, and to have been unable to adapt his
speech to the second. The seventh runs as
| follows:
White Supremacy-Th doctrine of the
| trainers of the constitution and the keystone
of the arch of our civilization.
Who responded to this liberal and enlight.
ened sentiment does not appear. The World
| studiously avoids the remarks of the Rev
Henry Clay Dean (who did not speak in Con
| necticut before the recent election), simply
saying that he and others followed and the
| meeting closed in fraternal peace and harmo
| n.y." This beatific close was accompanied by
| a final toasS to 1.-THE Democratic Majority OF
| the House of Assembly of the State of New
| York" which has just voted to censure Mr.
Glenn for saying aloud that he had been offer
| ed bride for his vote.

FoLLY.-Poor Mr.. Glenn! Our readers will
remember him well. He is that member of
the New York Assembly that supposed the
word reform" in Democratic plattor ms and
speeches meant something. So he began to
expose the gross corruption of his fellow mem
bers. Good soul, his career was brief. He at
once became target for the scorn of his as
sociates. The charges made by him were pro
nounced without foundation. One member
moved that he be censured and another that
he be expelled, and the upshot of the matter
was that after being badged, bullied, inaulted
and threatened tor two weeks he resigned his
seat and retired to private life to aeek that
peace and quiet that Democratic Assembly
can never afford to an honest man.

CANNIBALIsM.-A terrible story of ship
wreck comes from madagascar. A French
vessel, bound from Calcutta to Marseilles, was
wrecked ON the reefs of Isle St. Brandon,
and the crew took to their boats, two in mum
Der. One of them was thrown back upon the
reefs, and all its occupants were drowned; the
other made for the nearest land, In nine days
all the provisions were exhausted, and the
captain succumbed to fatigue and privation.-
The mate thereupon proposed that they should
all drown themselves together, but the sug-
gestion was rejected, and the decision was
come to to draw lots as to which of them
should be killed and serve for food for the 9th
ers. The victim was designated, and under
went his fate with resignation. Three days
after this horrible sacrifice, on the 9th of Jan
uary, the boat touched at Mohambo, Madagas-
car, and there more dead than alive, the fam
lshed cannIbals were kindly received, and sent
to the French consul

THE BATES EXHIBITION Bates
probably felt well paid for his fifteen hundred
miles tramp by his cordial reception by the
President. In other respects his advent to
Washington had many of the aspects of a
fizzle. 1t rained; Eldridge and Munger made
the only speeches, and they were brief and
cold, and no flag was raised over anything.
Bates is thus desclibed by the Washington
correspondent of the Boston Journal:
Bates is small. well built man. He wore
to-day the dress uniform of Mosby's guerillas
"a suit of black velveteen with a red sash
high cavalry boots and a SLOUGH hat and faith

Vaughn, an ex-rebel officer, who now proposes
to take him about the country and lecture on

A FEARFUL AocIDENT.-Mr. George H. Hill.
of West Buxton, who has been engaged for
some time in working machine in that vii
lage, in oilng some shafting last Monday, had
his clothing caught and was thrown over seve-
raj tim IS. The shafting revolved at the rate of
hundred times minute, and there was but
about foot's space between it and the floor
ing. His father, who was at work overhead,
heard the peculiar noise, and supposing some
of the machinery was out of order Immediate
ly shut down the gate and stopped it. Mr.. HIS
boots were thrown off IN the operation and his
clothing torn to threads, but, strange to say,
no bones were broken, and at last accounts the
young man was alive and in full possession of
his senses, although it seems almost impossi-
BILE that he can recover.

MASSACHUSETTS anti-prohibitory papers are
greatly exercised about the new license law.
When they advocated the repeal of the pro-
.hibitory law they did not anticipate that the
whole subject of regulating the liquor traffic
would fall into the hands of the free rum par
ty; but the temperance men are so powerless
in the Legislature that they have not thought
it worth while to interfere in the framing of a
license law, and the result is what might have
been expected. Unless Governor Bullock We
toes the bill, Massachusetts, will have what
amounts to the unrestricted sale of liquor for
the next year. The Boston Advertiser and
New Bedford Mercury are indignant, but Gu
riously enough blame the prohibitionists.

GUADALUPE has been the scene of dis
aster like that which occurred at st. Thomas
last fall. On the tenth of March a great
wave filled the harbor of La Monte, receded
thirty miles leaving all the ships aground
and returned smashing several deeply laden
British vessels into kindling wood. Can't
we buy Guadalupe? A self-acting harbor
adapted to smashing British vessels might be
nseful in case of war with England.

OLE BULL.-The agent of this celebrated
violinist telegraphed to our Mayor yesterday
that he has been obliged to change his pro-
gramme, and does not wish to be booked for
City Hall on the 4th of May. No legitimate
inference can be drawn from this telegram that
Ole Bull will not visit our city ere long. We
trust he will come, and we venture the opinion
he would be most enthusiastically welcomed.

GRANTS QUALFIcATIoNs.-We do not often
find much to approve in the editorial columns
of the New York Times, but the following is a
just and generous tribute to Gen. Grant:
1t is mistake to suppose that it is intended
to elect Grant to the Presidency only upon his
military record. Grant has shown a capacity
Tor administration, a fitness for the perform
ance Of civil functions, a devotion to the prin-
cipies of the Constitution, respect for the
laws, degree of political sagacity and Justice,
and faith in the ideas of liberty and progress
that constitute far higher grounds than his
military record why he should be elevated to
a position where he can use his powers for re-
storing peace and prosperity to our distracted
country

Gov. SEYMOUR OF New York appears TO
have the lead just now among the candidates
for the Democratic nomination for the Presi
dency. So we Judge from the savageness with
which the Democratic papers repel any criti-
cism of his political acts. The Ohio State
Journal, we observe, promises at some future
day to publish the evidence that Governor
Seymour in 1864 the year after the famous draft
riots in New York, held reasonable cores
pondence with Rebel agents in Canada. If
there is any such evidence, it ought to be pro-
duced at an early date so that it may be dis
cussed and the fact settled before the election.
