There could not we'll be a grosscr mis-.

lively sQabblc about how the first vote

fixed; but very little more confusion or
feeling than was exhibited over the same
question at Parkcrsburg in 1866 and ut
Clarksburg in 1865 The question OF
representation is always u vcxed question

Extinction of Slavery in the Spanish
Colonies.

Extinction of Slavery in the Spanish
Colonies.
The bill introduced by Senior MoRET
for the gradual extinction of slavery in tho
Spanish possessions has passed the Cortes.
The bill provides that children born of
slaves since 1868 shall be free, the Gov.
eminent paying an indemnity Of $50 for
each, and all those born after the promul-
CATION of the law shall be Internationally
free. Slaves who have fought in the
Spanish service, and all over sixty-five
years of age, are to be Immediately set
free. This bill was at first received with
favor, but, rs the debate progressed, much
opposition was developed among the
Liberals, who believed that present slaves
are to serve their masters too long. A few
days ago the great orator, CASTELAR,,
made most eloquent speech in behalf OF
immediate and unconditional cmancipa-
ton. In this speech he read the procla-
nation of President LINCOLN, and rs its
periods fell upon the ears of his audience,
they greeted it with loud applause. So
the curse of slavery is gradually blotted
out, and the age Of crime and suffering
and oppression come to an end. ...

This is news to the Committee, and
equally so, we presume, TO everybody
else. The Committee didn't need any en-.
dorsement, didn't want any endorsement
didn't ask anybody to endorse it, and
didn't know that any movement to endorse
it was on loot. This little sQuib is in.

Yet, since our neighbor has chosen to
raise this question, we take leave to call
attention To the fact that our Convention
did fully endorse the call of the Commit
tee-the only matter, we believe, respect
ing which the Committee had been crlti-
cized. The call was objected 10 by some
Republicans because it assumed that the
action of the Republican majority in the
previous Legislature was the ground on
which the party stood; and because its
invitation to those who might wish to i'm
prove their political status was too broad,
from an apprehension, apparently, that
our party might become too large. 1t
was criticised by the Democracy because
it invited cOlored Republicans as well as
white. Yet upon each one Of these points
the Convention fully sustained the Com
mittce- first, by fully endorsing" in the
platform the action OF the Legislature;
second, by embOdying in the platform the
invitation Of the Committee in the very
language of the call; third, by receiving
those recruits who came into the Conven-
ton under its terms, and giving them a
representative among the officers of the
Convention; and fourth, in receiving and
recognizing the delegates Of the colored
people who had been specially invited.
The Committee has reason to he abund-
antly satisfied. We trust the Chairman
of the Democratic Committee feels equally
at case. ..... ....s

A Rat Story.

A N old darkey in the Fourth district,
"A. ofNew Orleans, has daily formonths
past selected the doorstep Of a promi-
nent residence for his noon-day nap
Being driven off one day he comes the
next. With his head thrown back and
his mouth wide open, he snores away, to
the exceeding discomfort Of the inmates.
Called to the door by this disagreeable
diapasOn few days since, the lady of the
house concluded she would try an exper-
iment For this purpose she procured a
small piece of ice and dropped it into the
huge orifice that served as Sambo's mouth
it disappeared like a shot, and with a
cough and snort, Sambo started to his
feet.
Ugh" he cried as the ice sent yio-
lent thrills through his stomach.
"What dis p and his fingers clutched
nervously the afflicted parts
Just then some one cried out in the
house that big rat had run down ''Uncle
Sans" throat This added terror to his
pain. He rolled ON the banquette and
cried Justify for help.
"'Fore God, missus, he's gnawing
out'n me. feel him. Oh, goly he's
KILN me, and the whites Of the dark
ey's eyes protruding like saucers, and the
eonvulsed and anguished face, showed
that real pain was stongly enhanced by
his imaginary terror.
"Oh, golly, how he do jump and kick
about" and Sambo again gave himself up
to paroXysm Of lamentation.
Drink warm water, Uncle Sam. and
drown him" suggested the lady,
Without any hesitation Sam start
ed for the water plug He turned on the
crank and the water started. Sam glued
his lips to the nozzle until his sides were
puded out like an inflated balloon.
" How do you feel now, Uncle Sam ?"
the lady inquired assam staggered back
to his seat.
Il guess he's drowned, missus; but
here's what's troubling dis chie-how's

FALSE PRETENCES.

The vast and continually increasing sales OF
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters have provoked the
envy of certain class of dealers in various parts
Of the country, who are trying to substitute their
utterly worthless local nost1ums for the most
popular proprietary medicine in the world. These
imposters hope by their false statements to OBJ
tain from the millions who patronize the great
American Tonic, sufficient number of custom
ers to make their speculations upon the health Of
their neighbors profitable. As the demand Tor
Hostetter's Bitters is now so large and urgent as
to tax to their fullest extent the facilities for its
manufacture, these petty attempts to wiring In
the merest trash by false representations, are OF
little consequence to its proprietors. They are,
however, serious evil to the victimized. II, for
example, at this warm season, when real IN
vgorant is greatly needed, the sufferer from gen.
eral debility, Indigestion, biliousness or nervous
weakness, is coaxed into using wishy-washy
compound without any medicinal virtue, instead
of the sovereign specific in which the rarest tonic
and alternative vegetable elements are scientific
cally combined, it is obvious that he will rue the
day when he allowed himself to be thus deluded.
1t is in the interest of parties who have been or
may be influenced by the persuasion of plausible
charlatans, that this article is published. With
the light of twenty years experience to guide
him. why should the invalid take leap IN the
dark.

thus cures Consumption, when every other rene

The GALAIY.-The August number of
the GALAXY sustains in all respects the
reputation for piquancy, point, and Vi
vacity already amassed by this hveliest of
American monthlies. The new story,
Overland" copyrighted by Sheldon &
Co., opens the number. The author is
not accredited with his work, and, though
the manner is like Kimball, Kimball is
not the man to print anonymously. A
paper on American Timidity," by T.
Munson Coan, discusses an old subject
under new title, but discusses it very
cleverly and freshly Notwithstanding, al
though it is not a sequltu1 that lack of
self-assertion implies timidity. The
generic American is too indolent to be
self-assertive, rather than too timid; for
with all the national restlessness, a
strange apathy underlies the typical
Americanism and when the American is
understood Alright it will be found he is
non-self-assertive, not because he
is timid, but because he is too
sy baritish to trouble himself to be so.
Mr.. Coan's paper is readable, which is
better for magazine purposes than to be
sound in ones conclusions. "Bread and
its Authorizations" Professor Diapers
paper, is worth study as well as perusal-
worth putting on file, in fact, as an au-
thority upon the topic treated. Thurlow
Weed continues his diplomatic Incl
DENTS" and relates the true story of his
going abroad in 1861, which, in its way,
must be regarded as contribution to d.
plomatic history. Mr.. McCarthys paper
on Edward Bulwer constitutes, in some
respects, an addition to critical literature,
particularly so in its parallel between
Dickens, Bulwer, and Thackeray, which
is quite just and discriminative. The
"Story of Mutiny" is capitally told,
"Decimated," in its details of manner and
matter; while the paper on How Napo-
leon l. Managed Theatre" piques atten-
ton in title and gossipping details. Mark
Twain's Memoranda" are up to the usual
standard of that irrepressible humorist.
