ly The Cincinnati Gazette Justly
says of the disorderly conduct in the
House during the counting of the cleo
toral vote: 80 $.
''The hearts of all good men must
sicken with shame at the recital, but
justice demands the strong est words of
condemnation, and will be content with
nothing less than is written. The after
noon work was the work of a mob
There was so much confusion that mems
voices could not be distinguished, and
therefore it has not been possible to give
names, except in few cases where per-
sons made themselves specially promi-
nent. AT one time, for ten or fifteen
minutes not less than hundred men, u
few Senators, but mostly Representa-
tives, were OH their feet shouting and
gesticulating in the widest manner
Something of the confusion was doubt
less due to Mr.. Wade's lack of knowl-
edge of parliamentary law and usages,
but no ignorance Of his duty on the
part of the Presiding Officer could for
a moment excuse or paliiate the conduct
of scores of members of the joint con-
vention. The day that should have been
one of peace, for the sake Of him whose
watchword is, Let us have peace was
day Of gross violence, passionate dis
order, and mob insolence-a day to be
remem bered with averted head and the
crinsoning of shame"

home in time of war, and get married
again If her husband is killed. She can
wear corsets if too thick and other fix

from her husband if she sees one she
likes better. She can get her husband
in debt all over, until he warns the pub

all these advantages are balanced by the
great fact that she cannot sing bass, go

gree of propriety

Mr.. MoKELvEY: Dear Sir-Your Life Com
pound is working wonders ia this section, and
I have every reason to be thankful for what it
has accomplished in my own case and that Of
my wife. My complaint, as you may remem>
ber, was Liver Disease in its worst form had
not taken your medicine more than three weeks
when felt so much encouraged IS to order a
box for my wife also, who was suffering from
what the physicians termed disease Of the kid
neys. This was in November last. We have
now taken two packages each, and I am happy
to inform you that we have good reason to con-
cl ude we are both permantly restored to health
and that, by your Life Compound. Encouraged
by it's good effects in our cases, several of our
afflicted neighbors sent to you for the medicine
and am informed by three of them. with whom
l am intimately acquainted, that they, too, be
iieve themselves entirely cdred by it.
You may make such use ST this statement as
you may deem proper.
With gratitude,

INAUGURATION ODE.
MARCH 4, 1869.


What song should hail the welcome hour
That sees the nation waiting stand
To place the emblems of its power
Within its hero's faithful handf
Resounding notes of martial fame
Mix with the patriots full acclaim,
Without surcease;
While gentler strains the breezes bear
On vernal wings, and everywhere
Rises the sentiment and PRAYER,
"Let us have Peacel"
Enough that Wars fell rage is spent,
And freedom still survives secure;
Her stature loftier and unbent.
Her strength increased, her vesture pure.
The fame his country well bestows
Upon the chief who crushed her foes
All climes increase;
But nobler rings Ger land and main,
And nobler echoes back again,
The manly, Christian, sweet refrain,
"Let US have Peacei'
There, from New England's busy mills;
From where the Mississippi flows;
From where the bursting cotton fills
The golden air with mimic SHOWS;
Prom where the cleaning nuggets shine
Close neighbors of the fruitful vine,-
They will not cease:
The countless voices raised to greet
The soldier in the rulers seat,
This chorus ever to repeat,
"Let ms have Peace!''

Writing is q curious art as practiced
by the Hindoos. They may be often
seen walking along their native streets
writing letter. An iron stile and q
palm leaf are the implements. In wri-
ting, neither table ncr chair is needed,
the leaf being supported on the middle
finger Of the left hand, and kept study
with the thumb and fore finger. The
right hand does not, as with US, move
along on the surface, but, after finishing
a few words, the writer fixes the p ,int
of the iron in the last letter, and pushes
the leaf from right to left SO that he
may finish the line. The characters are
rendered legible by besmearing the leaf
with ink like fluid. A letter is generally
fnised on single leaf, which is then in :
cloaed in a second, whereupon is the ad
dress.

no legal right to take the fellows life in
any way except by the rope; and if he
had killed him in any other way, as with
bludgeon, or with arsenic, he would
certainly have been held for murder.
The practice of administering chloro-
form to persons in the agony of death
from painful and fatal wounds was ap-
prov ed by some of the best surgeons
during the war; and we have heard of a
number of instances. But that would
not justify sheriff in using chloroform;

ference it would make, whether he gave
the drug to man on the scaffold or
not. Exchange.

The Massachusetts indians.

The enfranchisement of the Indians
in Massachusetts has for long time
claimed the attention of public men in
that State, but the IN easure has just re-
ceived new impulse from Governor
Claflin's Endorsement of it in his late
address. In discussing the question the
Springfield Republican says:
''The number of Indians scattered
throughout Massachusetts is no more
than 500, while the So called splanta-
tion tribes number 200. Among them
there is probably not an Indian Of pure
blood, for they have intermarried for so
many generations, that their genealogy
is hopelessly mixed up. They still own
nearly 10000 acres O: land, chiefly at
Marshpec and on Martha's Vineyard
This property they are not allowed to
taxes. nor allowed to vote, except in
their own communities; which are man
aged under a sort of town organization
The State expends for them annually for
schools and ministers, the relief of the
poor, ETC., upwards of four thousand
dollars. They are generally poor, and
many Of them are indolent; but some
are thrifty farmers, seamen and labor
ers, and there is as much intelligence in
their communities as among the gener
ality of the colored population of the
country. It is now proposed to make
them voters and tax payers. This was
recommended by Mr.. Bird, the long
tried friend and champion Of the Indi.,
an in the Legislature, twenty years go
by Mr.. Earle, in 1860, and by AIr. San
born, last year. The recommendatio n
of the Governor. seconded in the Legis
lature by Ar. Bird, will pr3ba) )ly lead
to their complete enfranchisement.'

IMPORTANT DECISION United
States Supreme Court has decided that
contracts specifically to pay coin must
be paid in coin. The Court holds that
Government has created two kinds of
legal tender, and that contracts which
specify real money must be paid in that
money, willie other contracts may be
satisfied with the paper legal tender
This straightens out the crooked decis-
ions by which coin contracts have been
outlawed, and by which the Courts have
refused to recognize that there are two
kinds of money, of different values, al.
though the Government which created
the paper tender preserved two kinds in
its own transaction.
