Another Step Toward Despotism.

The writ ofhu6cos corpus is ono which,
from the rcmotcst period Of English
history, has been used to recover free
dom wrongfully taken away. 1t has
been deemed for ages the palladium of
liberty, the protection of the people
against the aggrcssions of power.
In tho great charter which the bar
ons of England Wrcstcd from the un
willinging hands of John, one of the
most wicked and worthless of English
Kings, the principle was laid down
that no man shall be taken or impris
oned but by the lawful Judgment of
his peers or by the law of the land; and
it is upon the writ of hobcas co'pass that
dependence has always been laid to
to enforce this great principle OF the
personal libcrtyw of the citizen. Dur
ing the reigh of Charles l., who, ii will
be remembered, finished his career on
the scaffold pcraonal liberty was fre
qucntIy violated, while the Judges by
various means managed to cVade the
proper execution of the writ upon
which so much depended. At length,
in the thirty-tirst year of tho reign
Charles H., the law of hobeos corpus,
as it now stands was enacted. In its
present form it consists of Il variety Of
provisions devised with so much skill,
and SO we'll adapted to support each Of
other, that it has been asserted by the
most eminent jurists that personal lib
| crty can be in no danger in England or
the United States SO long as this law
is enforced.
This brief history of the hudeos corpus
becomes of interest i'll view of tho fact
that on "Wednesday last the United
States Senate, in a defiance Of the ninth
section of the first article OF the FEEDER
al Constitution, which provides that
the provisions of the act shall not be
suspended except in eases of rebellion or
invasion the public safety may require
it, by vote of Is to Is passed Il bill
taking away from Americans citizens
the right to demand the protection of
this safeguard during the approaching
Presidential election.
If this is the result Of less than four
years of Grantism, what might not be
expected by the end of another term of
successful aggrcssions upon the most
sacred rights of pcoplc:-N. Y. Sun,
Nav 25.

Sumner, the Sleeping Sentinel.

"A Washington letter to the st. Louis
Democrat says:
Summer may now be painted as the
sleeping sentinel. While he SIumbCr-
cd last night, the waking Senate pass
eel his famous civil rights bill in an
amended and, us he calls it, an cm:.scu-
lated form. Tho Senate had an all
night siege of it, and before it ad-
journcd this morning it passed the ku-
KluN bill, tho amnesty bill and
the civil rights bill. Frank iilar
says: owe passed Summers bill for
him while he was asleep, but we took
the CUTS out of it first" Frank has 4
rough but expressive way of saying
things. Tho cmaSculatiOn consisted in
striking out all provisions for "cuuaIi-
ty'' in schools, churches and ccmctc-
ries, and contining it to railroads, h"-
tells and public places Of amusement.
AS thus amended, it went to the House
where it will probably remain for the
session. 1t is not the first time that

MIR. STEWARDS EARLY RErUGNANcE
TO HIrSIN ESS-HIS EMPLOYEES.

Speaking of his adaptability for bust
ness, the great merchant prince said
that for many years he had the utmost
diStastc for business, so much so that
he disliL1cd The task even of purchasing
articles for his own personal use; that
he hated to go and buy Il pair OfglOVcs.
That Mr.. Stewart has managed to over
come this repugnance to trade was OK
hibitcd in the statement, i'll reply to Il
question, that he now employed twcn-
ty-fivc hundred persons, had crossed
the ocean thirty-tivc times, and had
sold upward Of 49, 200 worth OF goods
at retail in one day. Mr.. Stewart
stated that his ambition was to make
the sales at his up town store reach
500, 900 per day. lie keeps busy about
five hundred portcrs, and has delivered
from his retail store as many as tive
thousand packages in one day. Nj
this establishment he has eleven hun
dred employees. Mr.. Stewart appears
to carry the responsibility of his cnor-
NOUS business with perfect case, COM

Growth OF Missouri and Texas.

According to the census of 1870, the
largest increase in population Gin the
i;ttc slave States) is in Missouri--539,2 2s3
or 1866 per cent, while South Carolina
increased only ,S9S or O.27 per cont
Tho Washington Chronicle says "Mis-
souri, and Texas have had an immense
development of their railroad systems,
and an enormous immigrution, which
accounts for tho fact of their great ad-
vance upon the general average of the
country" While railroads have had
II wonderful influence in increasing the
population, and thus aiding in the de-
vclopment of the agricultural, mining
and manufacturing resources of both
Missouri and Texas, those States each
possess peculiar natural advantages,
which arc every year becoming better
known, and which need only be known
to be appreciated and eagerly sought
after and enjoyed by tho more thrifty,
Intelligent and cnterprising immigrants
from all quarters OF the globe.
These two great States occupy the
first rank in point of increase in pop
ulation,an with proper efforts can
maintain their position. .... .....

Printing in Il PrimItiyc Manner.

Says the Augusta ConsttuiiOnaliSt ::
One of our Old citizens, who was form
crly Il printer for II number of years in
the old building back of Christopher
GraE's store, which is now being de
molislicd, informed us, a few days ago,
in regard to an old printing press
which, he stated, used to stand in his
printing establishment. Tho press,
however, was not used by him, but
was found in the Office when he entered
it, nearly thrcc-score years ago.
y description Of ii, as given by him,
will no doubt be interesting in thCS"
advanced days of improvement. IT
consisted of two large blocks of solid
mahogany, connected by hinges. Upon
tho top of one of these blocks was
laid the sheet to receive the impress
sion. Tho other block then, by means
of these hinges, was let down upon
this, and Il man stamping upon it thus
effected the printing OF the sheet.
The sheet printed by this rude con
trivancc was of fools cap sizc, and the
head Of the form, which was of brass,
bore the title Of the "COlumbian lnIul-

The following story Of sorrow ana
absence OF mind is told as q fact by the
Portland Advertiser: \ short time ago
Il little babe belonging in this city died,
and, as is sometimes the case, was laid
away in II bCrcau drawer till the func-
raj. Tho day of the funeral came, and
the bcrcavcd mother was cOnVulscd
with grief over the little caskct, and,
sobbing, laid it away in the cold ground.
On her return home she thought she
would go to the drawer and gaze once
more ut the place which would hence
forth be consccratcd,W when what should
meet her eyes, when the drawer was
opened, but the lilclcss corpse Of the
child, that had been entirely forgotten
in preparing for the funeral.

Tho Pail Mall Gazette thinks that

hat the children OF clever men are

fcsSions, exhaust that vitality which,
lying dormant in the woman, is trans
mittcd to her offspring. mf women,

I.OnGirlloW was not far wrong when
he took the position that our admira
lion Of woman rested more on her
character for affection than sparkling
intellect. The proposition cannot be
received without exceptions, but then,
whom We look calmly into the subject,
we find il runs very far toward the
truth. It is generally the fate Of II
witty woman to not be extensively
loved. Her words have edges, and
though she may not desire to hurt the
feelings of amy one, she is sure to make
them cut. Whenever we soc an old
maid who, in her better days, has not
been more hOmcly than the common
run Of people, wc invariably put it
down that she once bore II fair rcputa-
ton for brillancy, and we seldom miss
it. No man would offer himself to !,

an owl because he happened to look So

On The Island of BOrneO has been
found certain race of wild creatures,
of which kindred varieties have been
discovered in the Philippine Islands,
in Terra del Iucgo and in South Amer
icn. They walk unusually, almost
erect ON tw" legs, and in that attitude
measure about four feet i'm height.
They are dark, wrinkled and hairy.
They construct no habitatiOns, form no
families, scarcely associate together,
sleep in caves and trees, feed on snakes
and vermin, on ants, eggs, and each
other. They cannot be tanned or forced
to any labor, and arc hunted and shot
among the trees like the great gorilla,
of which they are stuntcd copy.
When they arc captured alive, ono
finds with surprise that their uncouth
jabbcring sounds like nrticulate
language. They turn up human
face to gaze ut their captors, and the fc-
males show instincts of mOdesty; and
in fine, these wrctchcd beings are men.
