down on the Gu, bstone and declined
to move a step. in spite of her hus-

She persisted In her refusal, and they
both knelt down together, begging the
gendarmes who accompanied them to
shoot them at once, if shot they were
to be. Twenty revolvers were fred,
but they still breathed, and it was
only at the second discharge that thew
finally sank down dead. The gen

Going Back.

1t is now rumored in Cincinnati that
the Republicans will pass free-trade
resolutions at their Convention, and
70 against the new amendments to
the Constitution, recently endorsed by
Vallandigham as the legitimate results
of the war! That's right. They
should always antagonize the ''traitor."
When he expresses a willingness TO 60
to Heaven, they should determine to go
to; and then they can have their
own way. The editor of the Ashland
Times gets out his sick chicken be
cause Old Val, has committed grand
larceny on the Republican platform /;
and it is intimated that he actually
punished a bottle of medicated gin TO
drown his modification and chagrin.
Poor jeff, the waves are against him;
and he and his sick chicken will have
to sleep together. Look out for the
cholera.

bayonet as a substitute for law, Ex-

Ideal Civilization"

Mr.. Wendell Phillips has been at
it again, philliping away with Ibis
nine man beetle at tine bewildered
brains of the ~tailors, cord. wainers, and
other operatives of Boston. AS usual,
he gave US something unusual /; and,
in his ordinary way, blurtsd forth a
superabundnnce of the extraordinary.
He vindicated the Paris Commune,
thought the overthrow OF the Column
Vendome a heroic deed, and the mas
sacre of priests and hostages a ueces-
sary remedy against a condition of
things only paralleled by the Ku-Kiux
~offuscatIons of the South. At tine
same time, willing to evince as signal'y
as possible his adherence of practical
reform, and the absolutely visionary
and unsubstantial character of his
Radicalism, Mr.. Phillips argued We
hemently and Unexpectedly in behalf
of the ''eight hour SYSTEM" while he
utterly failed even to allude Ito the
fact which lies at the root of the labor
agitation in Massachusetts,, that the
Legislature of that State continues to
refuse to pass the "ten hour bill
This, a needed, wholesome, practical
reform, one demanded by humanity
and the laws of health, aud for the
protection Of helpless women and chill
dren from the inordinate grasp of cap
ital. Mr.. Phillips has nothing to say
about, but wastes his time in har-
rangues for the impossible eight hour
system.
Continuing, Mr.. Phillips enun.:iated
the following hideous heresy: sin
spite of all social science, and all the
dry theorising which is flung at us
from the different churches and socie-
ties in the course of the year, 1 still
maintain that the ideal civilization
which is to come, and which it is the
effort of every man 10 hasten, is all
wrapped up in that ono principle, that
the mass of mankind work less and
enjoy themselves more" That is to
say, the mob OF old Rome, eager only
for "Panem ct ~circenees," represented a
higher ideal of civilization than the
people of thrifty Boston, to whom
Phillips vas speaking; that the laza-
roni of Naples are more men than the
teilers of Glasgow and Birmingham /;
that the oiled and tatooed savag o
Fegee, doing nothing all the livelonG
day, is the type we should turn to
and not NJ. Agassiz, setting Phillips
an exa nple of a man minding his own
business, and working iudetatigably
day by day! Its to our mind the
very worst circumstance in the icono-
clasms of the would be reformers of
the day, both Yankee, French and
English, that they are so eager to
overthrow the divinity of labor, and
to 1atter the mob with the notion that
progress may be made, and material
advancement gained, without tho
waste of muscle AS we'll preach
that there can be living without food.

The Reason Why,

Last week we intimated that we
were opposed to the first and second
resolutions of the June platform
The proud old Democracy are request
ed to bow and worship at the shrine
of what r called "the living issues OF
the present" The murky clouds oil
discomfort begin to blacken our politi
cal skies. Why? 1t is a repetition
of the follies of 1854, when the carcass
of the Missouri Compromise III dis.
entombed that it might again be for
mally buried and forgotten. Like the
hidcous ghost Of Banquo, it would not
stay down. 1t haunted its disturbers
until the sanguinary struggle of 1861
was thrust upon the country. Now
the fiery s%trifes, the corrupt means,
the military force and intimidation
which brought into existence the 18th,
18th and 18th amendments, are again
rcsurrccted and brought to view that
they may have decent intcrmentand be
part of the rubbish of the dead past!
Will they be forgotten -? AS well may
We hurl pebbles at the sun in the hope
of blotting it from the heavens. Will
eating dirt be any the sweeter now,
that these infamies are endorsed by
Mr. Vallandigham, and the lackeys
who beloved for him in the Conven-
ton? Is the humiliation of his exile
softened by licking the hands of his
prosecutors? Does he feel calmer and
swceter in temper since he endorsed
and embraced the amendments author
izing the bayonet power, under the
Constitution, which he always cursed
and denounced ? Shall we all feel
better over disqualification and dis
gust? We cannot endorse the first
and second resolutions. Other Dem
ocrats arc at liberty to use their dis
cretion. II We did, next year we may
be asked to acquiesce in the wisdom
of the Force and Ku-klux bills"
and an other amendment to the Con
stitution making the President a Die
tator and 'luok upon all as the legit
innate result of the war" 1t is mort
flying enough for us to know that the
Infamous amendments are so far a part
of the Constitution, by force and fraud,
as to require obedience to their enforce
ment, until an indignant people shall
order them to be stricken fr.,m the
Constitution. For the time being, We
may be compelled to endure the mis-
rule, tyranny, u%surpation and corrup-
lions of the republican leaders, but we
will never eniorss or apologize for
them. that party success may be secur-
I'D, and Tint "clothsd in light armor,"
We may march like Republicans, to
