AN APT PARALLEL.

From the Chicago Democrat.
There are those of the Democrat party
who declaim against Mr.. Vallandigham's
Dayton resolution. Lot them consider the
following parallel: A certain farmer was
ploughing in his field ono day, when along
came deputy sheriff with judgment for
the collection of a lightning-rod note, as
they arc called, and demanded immediate
payment In vain did the farmer protest
that he had never got the articles for
which the note was given in payment, and
that he would not pay for that which he
had not received the sheriff laid hold Of
the farmers team and declared that he
would carry IL of Tho farmer reasoned
with himself. 1t is better that l pay this
note now, keep my team, and go on with
my planting. The note is illegal, but
were TO stop now aud settle the matter
by law, my land will lie idle, and / should
DO ruined. He therefore paid the note,
and afterwards, when his crops were safe.
ly stored, took the matter to the courts,
when his injuries were righted, and the
swindlcrs were exposed.
D@rThe Literary World gives the fol-
lowing gossip as to the Overland: 1.-THE
Overland Monthly of San Francisco, be-
gan Its career in July 1868, A. Roman x
Co. being its publishers, and Bret Har,e its
editor. The naming of the magazine was
a matter of great difficulty; finally Bret
| Hartes selection was chosen from list Of
twenty names. The die on the title-pagc
gave moro trouble At last il was decided
TO give the portrait Of Il grizzly bear; but
when the drawing Of the animal was made,
and n proof taken the effect was not gen-
orally pleasing. Several literary gentle
men puzzled long over the matter, when
suddenly Mr.. Harte seized n pencil and
drew two lines under the bear, represent
ing railway track. A burst or applause
followed, and the die was cast in two sem
SEES. This happy thought Of Mr.. Hartc's
seems like ycritable inspirations. Rev.
Horatio Stebbins, Starr Kings successor,
was one of the council which supcrinten-
dcd tho birth Of the Oceria,id. Mr.. Ilar'o's
salary as editor Of tho Overland was $3.50
per month"

STATES &.UNIoN.-The ratification
of the High Joint Treaty no longer
attracts the attention and speculations
of the knights of the quill. The ar
raignment of the N. Y. Tribune cor
respondents before the Senate for con.
tempt in not answering the question
of the Senate committee, as to who
they got the copy of the new treaty
from, which vas published in the
Tribune, was the excitement of yester,
day. The "fourth estate felt that
their rights and privileges were in
danger, and the reporters gallery was
crowded to hear as they expected, ar
guments from our learned Senators,
defining their rights, but such was
not the case, and their disgust was
reused when they discovered that the
whole affair was an effort to injure the
New York Tribune by The Grant bea-
giles in the Senate, and in so doing
they were striking at the clearly de-
fined rights of newspaper correspond.

Senator Conkling who played the roll
of prompter to Matt Carpenter, OF
Wisconsin, could have heard his thir
excuse of defending The dignity of the
Senate, riddled by the comments o.

A Partisan Proclamation.

The President has issued a procla-
nation announcing his purpose to en-.
force the recent infamous law, which
Congress passed at his instance, and
under the pressure of his influence,
''to the extent of the powers vested in
the Executive Like all the docu-
ments from the same source, it speaks
tue language of one who is President
of Il party, and who has not yet reach
ed the moral elevation of being Presi-
dent of a country. 1t sets out with a
bold perversion of truth, by declaring
that the necessity for this legislation
"b we'll known to have been caused
chiefly by persistent violations of the
rights of citizens of the United States
by combinations Of lawless and disaf-
fected persons, in certain localities,
lately the theatre of Instruction and
military conflict" This allegation is
fatty contradicted by the official re-
ports Of the Governors of the South
ern States, and by the regular message
of the President to Congress in De
cember.
1T is notorious here that: this swbole
Ku-Klux agitation was fabricated by
Morton, Butler and other conspifators
for political effect, and that it was
first opposed by the moderate Repub-
licans of both branches of Congress.
and this fact is made clear as day by
the events which TRANSFERRED after the
fourth of sMarch.- The committee
which waited on the President to no.
| tify him of of the organization of Con.
gress were informed that he had nc
business to recommend. Buffers
Ku-Klux bill was ANONYMOUSLY de
feated in the house of CHS friends
The report of the Senate COMMITTEES
utterly failed to make any impression
and the House, under the lead of Mr.
Dawes, adopted four distinct resolu
tionsof Adjournment. All these act
prove that there was no reason what
ever for such legislation as swas sine
adopted. -ao 70. llu

mics of peace were laboring with al
their power to induce the President tt

ATTEMPT. at Suicide.

- South Public Lane was. the theater
of q thousand .rumors yesterday after
noon. occasioned by the closing of the
doors of Joseph sSchneider's' bakery
and saloon. and the calling in of "a
physician between one and two o'clock
in the afternoon. Stories were cur
rent that Schneider had fallen-in q fit,
but investigation showed that he had
attempted to take his own life by
shooting himself in the mouth with a
revolver He was discovered by ono
of his children, in bed, speeches. and
bloody, and a messenger was sent for
DR.. Willeugby. The physician found
his patient insensible, but shortly re-
stored him to consciousness. aud pro-
ceeded to make an examination. The
weapenensed was q large six shooter,
from which one shot had been fired,
the ball splitting the tongue, passing
through the soft palate, and lodging
near the end of the spine. On ac-
count of p~rostraten from great loss
of blood, it was not deemed, advisable
to venture the examination necessary
to ascertain the locality of the, ball.
Should it work downward there will
be reasonable prospects of recovery
If upward, endangering the base OF
the BRAIN, there i~slscareely alpossibili-
ty of recovery. fhao-c
Schneider was, nearly sixty years
cid, and had, carried ons business ON
South Public Lane for many years.
He was generally sknownAas ssSehneidr
er-Schneider," a name resulting from
the fact that in earlier life he was a
tailor The cause of his attempt at
self destruction can only be surmised.
