IT was late one evening, last
summer, when a lady, who be-
longs to the editorial staff of
one of the leading dailies of
New York had been detained
by Office duties until rather a
late hour. Living on the
Heights, in Brooklyn, but a
short distance from the Fulton
Ferry, it was not much of a
venture to go home without
escort, and so she started. On
the boat, standing outside en-
joying the refreshing breeze,
after the days toll, she per-
ceived a gentleman CD in rath-
er close proximity to where
she was leaning over the guards,
but said nothing, "Are you
alone! said he, as the boat
neared the slip. "No, sir" said
the lady, and without further
interruption, when the boat
touched, she stepped off. II
thought you were not alone?"
stepping to her side again. II
am not" replied the lady.
"Wby, I don't see any one;
who is with youY" "God AL
mighty and the angels, sir; Pm
never alone!" "You keep too
good company for me, Madam;
goodnight" and he shot for q
Fulton avenue coach.

Two Important Deciaions.

hpVAOeallO DeclBlOnSs
Two important decisions
were delivered in the United
States Supreme Court last
Monday. The first of these in,
wolves the constitutionality of
the !''Drake amendment to
the Miscellaneous Appropria-
ton bill of July, 1870. The
Court declares that this pfoviso,
which set aside all privileges
claimed under the Presidents
Amnesty Proclamation, is un-
constitutional. 1t was design
ed that the Drake amendment
should prevent the allowance
by the Conrt Of Claims of any
claim based upon the alleged
restoration Of rights under the
Amnesty Proclamation; it also.
provided for the dismissal of
any suit on appeal to the
Supreme Court when it ID
found that a judgement must
be affirmed on account Of
pardon granted. The Supreme
Court decides that Congress
has. inadvertently passed the
limits which seperate the Judi
cial from the legislative funG.
tiohs. Having provided that
the Supreme Court shall have
review of the decisions of the
Court of Claims, Congress has
no right to say that d certain
class of cases shall be exempted
from the of that act. Another
decision fixes the date of the
issue of the proclamation Of
blockade, April 10, 1861, and
the conclusion of the same at
April 2, 1855, when the Presi.
dents proclamation, declaring
the war at an end, was issued.

From Poltsk, Russia, comes o
horrible story of a murder
committed there last Novem-
Der. A. rich proprietor, while
returning home with 5000
roubles, just borrowed from a
neighbor, was assaulted by a
masked man, who demanded
tie money or his life, and
secured the former. The next
morning,the proprietor entered
the room where his son was
sleeping, and was appalled, to
find q loaded revolver and the
5000 roubles under"his pillow.
In a transport of shame and
rage the father seized the revol
yer and killed the unfilial thief.

smelt the burning birthstone,
and calculated: "Just as T

The anti-national.b men
are democrats.
The friends Of State govern
ments are democrats,
And these embrace three.
fourths of the available voters
of the country, and can be uni
ted upon a basis purely demo.
cratic, where there heed be no
sacrifice of principle upon the
part of any one in a common
cause against the worst admin.
stored government among civi,
lized nations.
HOW THIS SHALL BE DONE:
1t will not do to allow mem.
bers of Congress, by public ad,
dresses, to dictate to-us. They
are our servants, not our mas
ters. That has been tried. 1t
was this Congressional caucus
system that elected John Quin,
cy Adams. We have had a
quadrennial message mild
mixture Of milk and water
fer the last decade. There
was nothing in it, and nothing
came of it. The same will be
hereafter as heretofore. The
country demands a thorough
revolution, not of blood, but of
reason and argument. There
was never a time so propitious.
Everybody is dissatisfied with
the existing state Of things,
and are alarmed for the greater
evils impending The office
holders and Office hunters can
see nothing but place and plum,
der.
This revolution must COM
mence with the people, just as
the abolition movement did,
until it sweeps every thing be-
fore it, and there will be no
trouble then to get these mer.
cenary gentleman to unders-
tand the temper of the public
mind. Ohio is the place to
commence the battle, and
Crawford county is the place
to hold the first meeting and
adopt resolutions broad enough
to comprehend all Of the dem
ocratic elements of the country.
1t will not do to put off the
movement until heated par.
tizau canvass crazes the people,
We must initiate the aboli,
tionists in their zeal. Begin
your meetings at once, indoc.
trinate the people through such
orators, as Ohio alone can afford
Hurd, Samuel Hunt,
Arch Mayo, o,and L.. T. Neal, with
the old and able statesmen in
your midst. You need only
an earnest effort to triumph.
Without ostentation or parade
secure a thorough organization
of the friends of free govern
ment, and determined appeal
to the people, outside of "your
New England. Ohio can be
carried in every district. But
you must commence now and
carry a zeal to your State Con.
vention which will emulate the
excitement of 1910. Money is
strong, but truth earnestly
spoken is stronger. The truth
will save the country; nothing
else can. Let us then appeal to
the people to save themselves.
But if we allow the winter
to pass until Office hunters Or
ganize to secure mere country
Offices for it's paltry patronage,
and use the press as a vehicle
to be paid with the county
printing, and then go to Con,
ventions to sell out to the high.
est bidder, things will go this
time as in 1854 and 1868, and
a weary people Will quleIly ac,
cept despotism as a matter Of
course, and our children's chill
dren will rise up to curse us
who betrayed the liberty re,
ceived from our fathers, and
squandered an inheritance Of
free government without which
life itself is but a curse. | am
very truly your friend,
