Mobiles and Workers of the Middle
Ages.

The feudal mobiles looked with an
insane hatred upon the busy cities of
the working>men, and constantly
labored to destroy their benefactors.
They would have been glad to have
swept them from the earth. Like
Commines, they could not understand
why God permitted laboring com
munities to exist. Froissart reioiced
in the slaughter Of "the low born
peasants" of Client, and lamented
that any of them were left. The
Dukes Of Burgundy loaded the cities
with taxes, which they collected
whenever they were able. They
made every excuse for pillaging and
burning them. The good" Duke
Philip burned the rich town of Dim
ant, and drowned eight hundred of
it's citizens in the river; the bold
Charles made magnificent Liege
fearful solitude. A warfare almost
constant ragged for several centuries
between the working 'nen of Elan
ders and the feudal powers around
Chcul, III w DlCu Lu0 men I'll laUOr
were often more than a match for
the men of the sword, in which the
long pixies Of the tradesmen often
put to fight great hosts ofmail clad
warriors, and which aided in a great
degree to produce the downfall OF
chivalry. The example of Client
and Bruges every whore awakened
the self>respect of laboring men,
Client stood at the front of European
progress. James, and his son Philip,
and the people, it is said, adored him
as a god /; nobility and royalty began
to be looked upon as badges of in
fanny; the crimes of kings and mobiles
made them hated as murderers and
assassins and the peasants of
France, in the rising called the Jac-
quetrie, said very truly that, "the no.
bles of the Kingdom of France,
Knight and Squire, were a disgrace
it."-Hdrper's Magazine.

sg-We are a little surprised but
very glad to read that Hon. Mr..
Buckland, of the Ontario Depart
ment of Agriculture in travelling
through large portions of England
and Scotland, found scarcely any
whore a redundancy of labor. Wages
have of late received an advance and
the people seemed, generally, to be
fully employed. He thinks there
never was a time when the working
class of Britain were generally SO
well employed and remunerated as at
present.

SENATOR Ross AND THE PRESIDENT.
Senator Ross has made personal
explanation relative to the pub
lished account of the interview be-
tween himself and the President q
few days ago. He said that while
the language said to have used on
that occasion was incorrect, he had
had an interview with the President,
at which he was both panied and
surprised when the President told
him that any man who had served
for the last year and half under
Andrew Johnson was not Republi-
can, and could not hold Office under
him. This policy of the President
accounts for the indiscriminate re-
movals which have been made.

says Eight years ago one of the

county and town railroad aid, voted
on by the people of La Fayette coun-
ty, at the recent election, the last
number of the Darlington Republican
says:
"The County Railroad Aid is de-
feated by 1864 votes. Only the
towns of Shullsburg. Benton and.New
Diggings gave majorities in favor of
it. These towns also voted for the
town aid. In the towns of Gratiot
and Wayne, town aid was also de,
feated."
MISSING PAPERs.-The Richland
County Sentinel notices that certain
important papers in three criminal
cases before the circuit court had
been stolen. The Sentinel does not
say it in words, but leaves a plain in
ference that lawyer interested for
the criminals stole the papers.
