THE COMING CONGRESS.

On Monday next, i3d Congress Of the
United States, will convene. II will be
very largely Republican, having a major.
ity Of about SO, and more than that on
joint ballot This makes but little differ
ence anyhow, for they have, for the last
eight or ten years, had majority sufii-
GENTLY large to do all the dcvilment poe
sible within the power Of venal and
corrupt legislation body, to accomplish.
Our hopes are brighter for the future,
however, than for years gone by. We
believe men, even members Of Congress,
have lost some Of their vindictiveness
and malice, and that the 43d Congress
will have a sufficiently conservative ele-
ment to hold in check the rabid Radical
element which comes up from the South
like Bcust, and down from the North
like frogs, to prey upon the vitals Of the
nation. If Gen. Grant, sitting as he
does, to hold the check-reins over this
team, will be governed by the signs, the
unmistakable signs Of the times, much
good can and viii be done to the country,
even by this largely Radical Congress
provided they do not remain in session
too long.

THE "wmIPPING POST

Years ago, we remember to have seer
a white man taken out and tied to tree
in the public square of village, and
given thirty-nine stripes on his naked
back. His offense was, petit larceny
having, as was proven, taken a small
pig from his neighbor, Of the value Of
81 rs. We have no defense to make
for the petty thief We have no excuse
to offer for his crimo; but in the name of
civilization, in the name Of christianity,
we solemnly protest against this mode Of
punishment for any offense whatever. II
Is blear and blot upon our statute
books, and should be erased at once.
Such punishment is in keeping with the
passy and the casting of criminals into
the dens of wild beasts. Kentucky is be
hind the age in which we live so long as
the miserable law is retained.
We call upon our Legislature, which
is to covene at an early day, to ex-
punge it from our statute laws. We
call upon the pulpit to denounce such
barbarism, and We call upon every Ken
lucky citizen, in every county of our
Commonwealth, to urge the member
from bis dsnfy to agitate the question
until this blot and stigma shall be buried
with the dead past.

Our readers have all heard of Mrs.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, one of the
ablest, as she is one of the most consist
ent, Of the many inconsistent female adj
vocates Of the foolish doctrine of woman's
rights in our country. She is now, and
has been for sometime, going about over
the country, visiting the large cities,
lecturing upon her avorite subject.
We had hoped that ere this the subject
would have been dropped, and that pub
lie sentiment would have frowned it down,
never again to be rosurrected. But SO
long as there are fools enough in the
world to make up an audience just that
long will there be found ''strong-minded'
women enough tokeep up an excitement
over the doctrine. A true woman feels
that she has now all the rights, privi-
leges, and immunities, which pertain to
her sex, and which are calculated to
maintain her virtue and dignity among
men. Those who take different view
of their position, and those who cavil and
carp about things unbecomingto theirsex
and position in life as wives, mother,
and sister, are not of sufficient
mental or physical fore to work revo-
luton of reform.

Stanley.

Our readers are familiar no doubt with
the fact that DIR. David Livingston, the
great African explorer, has been unheard
Of for several years until discovered with.
in the wilds Of upper Africa by our
countryman, Mr.. Stanley. Furthermore,
they are familiar with the fact that Jas.
Gordon Bennett, Jr., the iron-willed and
enterprising editor and publisher of the
New York Herald, conceiyd the idea, and
at great expense. carried it out, by
sending Mr.. Stanley in search of the long
iunheard-of explorer. His instructions
were. brief, but to the point, merely,
"find Livingston, no matter what the
cost" And he did find him. At first
the world stood amazed at the announce
ment. Doubt was in almost every heart
except that of his patron, who knew
SANKEY'S grit and pluck and integrity.
Then came simple recital of his trials
and tribulations amid people and in a
country Of whom the world knows so
little. We need not speak of these now,
our readers are as familiar with them as
we are. In fact, We did not begin this
article for the purpose of telling in detail
what Stanley did, but to speak of the
man himself, who has, by the native
power of his mind, with a physical frame
which has been proven adequate to the
most tremendous undertaking, aston
ished the entire civilized world, especially
the scientific portion thereof. Such men
as Stanley are rarely ever brought to
light, even If there be halfdozen in ex-
istence. Who SO bold, so venturous and
determined ashe? Weowe hima debt of
gratitude. The fame and name he has
won will live as long as science, enter
prise, and daring live. His is mind
capable of even higher thing, and we
doubt not that, ifthe opportunity should
present itself, Mr.. Stanley will achieve
even greater success in the fields of ex-
ploration than that which crowns him
now with immortal glory.

We regret to know that Nat Gather
Esq, in the Harrodsburg Senatorial
District, was defeated bya Radical.
Except for Mr.. Gather himself, we
should not regret his defeat, for it may
teach Democrats lesson. No Conven-
ton was held. Two good Democrats
went upon the track, and on the day Of
election, Radical came on and was cleo
ted by meager majority. The district
is largely Democratic, and in the future,
we hope our friends there will see to il
that but one candidate of our party is in
the field. Mr.. Gather would have made
us a useful and able Senator.

by Gambetta, young Frenchman of de-

about the hour for the arrival of the 2

a neatly atiiled lady, heavily veiIed,
crossing the street in the direction of tie

One OF the young men, thinking this an
excellent opportunity to display his gal
lantry, approached the lady and volun
teered 10 convey her baggage to the de.
pot, His kind offer was accepted. and
the two wended their way to the trair,
the young man all aglow with enthusi,

was rather reticent in her conversation =
This only seemed to make the young
fellow boider, and he commenced to talk
quite pretty to hi, veiled charmer. Up
on arriving at the depot she handed him
sufficient money to purchase ticket for
her, to Sharon, Pa. The ticket was pur-
chased and given to her. The young
man then called her step or two aside,
and asked permission to correspond with
her The lady hesitated, but finally
consented. When the train approached
lie offered to kiss her goodbye. She
hurredly raised her veil and displayed
two optics white as chalk, set in one of
