The WHITE MANS PARTY The Nor
folk Virginian,is justly rejoiced at the graft
flying fact made manifest by the recent cleo.
tions, that the "White Mans Party" is by
no means dead, as many weak, kneed and
timid people have imagined. Says the
Nirginian "The Radical papers are be-
ginning to howl over the vitality of the
white mans party as shown 10 the recent
elections but what more could they expect ?
Haven't We a black mans party in the coun.
try, and shall this insolent organization have
the exclusive right to proclaim a political
war based on "caste and color ?" Through
out the South the negroes vote in a solid
column and cast their suTrages for The worst
and most profigate men 10 the land Ia the
North they stand in compact mass in oppo-
sition to the Constitutional party Of the
country and actually threatened 10 invade

troll the late election For our own part we
are rcjoiccd to know that the white man
party is in vigorous existence, Tor This is

der life burden to not a small fraction of man
kind. 1t is all this class whom Addison in one of
the admirable papers of the Spectator hits off in
somewhat this vein. A man with philosophic
turn Of mind, through long and patient study,
deep research and experimenting; carefully cst-
mating how much of the body during the interval
between each meal goes off by perspiration, and
all the other organs Of eXcretion; as also how
much material was required for the production of
animal heat, and to repair the wastes of the sys-
tem,-reached the momentous conclusion that the
sensations Of hunger and thurst, were not the least
guides to eating and drinking, either as to guam
tity or kinds; but that the whole thing rested on
mathematics. So, constructing his dining chair
as part of Il weighing apparatus, all he had to do
when eating time came round was to trunde HIM
self in his machine to the table, put out the weight
to q certain notch, eat and drink till the beam came
in eQuipoise, when his eye told him he had taken
enough hungry or not.

A MURDERER'S BODY.
From the Pittsburg Gazette, Dec. %.

Several days ago we recorded the execution
of Zachariah Taylor Hockenberry, convicted
OF the heinous crime of Staying his fair cousin
the object of his hearts holiest affection. We
thought that this chapter would end the terri
BILE volume of sin, infatuation and wickcdness
But not so. When the cold and rigid corpse
was cut down, the question of Il Christian bur
lal occurred. There We're friends present who
demanded and received the lifeless remains
of the murderer, and hustled in a rude and
taWdry coffin, they were driven with brisk
and careless trot to the Prospect burial ground
Here, just as the corpse was about to be low
cred to a last and final resting place, u posse
of men, who had not q shadow of charity in
their souls, made their appearance, and OBJ
jected and positively refused to permit the re-
mains of the cold blooded and unfortunate
murderer to repose beneath the shade of the
cypress tree of Prospect.
The corpse was then again crowded into
the rude country hearsc, and with IL still
brisker trot, the ride to the next burial place
was made. st. Clair Cemetery, a small though
enchanting village of the dead, was the OBJ
jective point. Thither, over rough roads, the
hearse hurried. The terrestrial guardian OF
the deceased owned lot in the ground, and
he defied all powers to keep him from depos-
iting therein the remains of his unfortunate
dead client The grave was dug. The sex
ton was there with the necessary straps to
lower the coffin, and the spade to hurl earth
upon earth and forever hide decaying mortal
ity, the solemn prayer had been uttered and
the murderer's bones were about to be lower
ed, when grayhaired and venerable trustees
appeared and proclaimed that the murderer's
bones must rest elsewhere. They had made
up their verdict, and the guilty, blood stain
ed murderer of his fair and pretty cousin,
though cold and powerless in death, was
blankly refused place to sleep the sleep OF
death in the secluded church yard of St. Clair.
Again the rude coffin was lifted, and with
more impatlence than tenderness was thrust
into the hearse, and again the horses were
whipped into a lively trot. The day had
waned and night was about the driver and
his attendants, as a quiet and lonely spot in
the dreary wilderness outskirting the pretty
town of Butler was reached, and in the light
OF the pale moon, a trench two feet deep and
six feet long was thrown up, and the body o
Zachariah Taylor Hockenberry was solemnly
deposited. The tall trees waved and moaned
q requiem, and the overtasked undertaken
heaved a sigh as he stuck a fragment OF
wood over the grave to mark the spot, and
leaped into the box with the driver, and rub
bing his hands, expressing his thanks that the
murderer had at last found u place to rest
his head in death.
We have left the corpse of the murderer
quietly reposing in a sequestered spot of the
woods. But others were not content to leave
him to enjoy the solitude of DEATH AS rumol
has it, young physician of this city GOT
word of the negligent burial, and with a
professional ardor quite refreshing, he re-
