WE were led into an error in our Satur-
days issue by accepting too readilya state
ment made to us about the Conservative vote
in the constitutional convention on the test
oath. Our informant was one who figured
as a Republican in the convention. but
jumped ON to the S Walker go-cart,n when
that unique vehicle drove by. We would
modify our statement by saying that there
were thirty-fye or six Conservatives in the
Convention, and seventeen or eighteen Re-
publicans who were opposed to all dis
qualifying clauses in the constitution, and
these constituted majority of that deliber-
alive body. Had the Conservatives, there
fore, desired to get rid of any such clauses
in the constitution, they could easily have
done so by uniting their strength with the
liberal Republicans; but this they declined
to do. Persons who can prevent an out
rage, and refuse to do it when they have a
chance, are as guilty by omission as those
who perpetrate the act by commission.

THE workingmen of Massachusetts are
evidently studying the labor question for
themselves. The committee recently
appointed by the Legislature to inquire
into the condition of operatives in manu-
featuring towns, report, after visiting all
the larger towns and cities, that intelligent
workingmen oppose any legislation which
interferes with the right of contract on the
part of employers, as restriction of the
rights of workingmen. 1t will be happy
day for the country when laboring men
everywhere take the same sensible view,
and when the hberal-minded action of the
employers shall commend itself, as in this
instance, to the intelligent workingmen of
the whole country. "'9t. ~

For pious advice and Christian counsel
commend US to your murderer. Western
people have been RECALLED with considerable
of this sort of piety lately, but they have,
or rather had, fellow in Georgia who
fairly excelled in his utterances anything of
the kind we have heard of in this section.
One Spann was hanged there the other
day for the murder of his wife. The
crime was peculiarly atrocious. He tried
smothering and drowning, and when they
both failed he put cord around her neck
and choked her to death, the operation re-
quiring. according to his confession, about
half an hour. His wife was an invalid,
and he killed her for the purpose of mar
rying girl who was living at the time in
the house, and who kindly assisted in
the taking off. The man was hung,
and while upon the gallows had his
final statement read, which contained,
among other things, the following:
"But in this great affiiction, keenly feeling the
reproach have borne and must still bear,
have the consolation to feel that God for Chist's
though great. have sure. steadfast hope
to enjoy happy eternity in Gods presence.
am willing, cneerfully, to depart at this time,
truly feel that TO die is gain. If life were pro-
onged, but little is left to make it pleasurabIe
desirable in this world. trust shall meet my
wife in heaven, where SORROWS of this world are
forgotten. trust / shall meet all who wroHged
me there, where their presence, instead of being
| unpleasant, will be joy to each other forever.
He then faced the audience and said: Friday
lefore Easter Sunday was the day Christ was
cru.Insu he trusted he had learned an impor-
tant lesson; was prepared and ready to die /;
exhorted all to seek salvation"
We do not seek to question the possi-
bility of genuine repentance and, perhaps,
forgiveness in cases Of this kind; but
surely this sort of MURDERS ecstacy is get
ting too common to be effective. When
murderers are needed as itinerant exhort-
ers, we'll blessings beg of them; but till
then let them "confess themselves to
heaven" and spare us our doubts.

THe HOMETOWN or Down-East Yankee

Ek1e HOMETOWN or DOWn-East Yankee.
The thorough bred Yankee is curious crea-
ture. Like the chill dren of Israel-we intend no
disrespect to the latter by the eomparis on--they
can be found everywhere throughout the world
where penny can be turned, and are alike dis
tinguishable by the peculiar characteristics of
the race. We mean the genuine Down Easter"
with the weasei-tace and nasal twanE From
precisely what branch of the human family they
originally descended it is impossible 10 say, but it
is certain, however low it may have been, the
descent has been in direct line ever since Wing.
A thoroughbred " is not apt to be
very low-down." photographers, like
johnson, define him to be completely
taught or instructed educated pro-
duced by parents of full blood on both
Sides" A low-born, or low-hung fellow,
is one that mixes his blood with other and
baser types. lie is more apt to be thor
ough-base than thoroughbred, and it can
flatter nobody--not even one of the "chil-
dren of Israel'-to be compared with him.
The Wing is evidently to hum" on the
low-hung Yankee, whose "weasel face and
nasal twang" are such an abomnation in
its high-blooded sight.
Many years ago, when residing in
the extreme South, we used to hear these
offensive things said of the Yankee; but it
was generally said by set of low-fung fell
lows, who frequented bar-rooms and gam
bling tables on steamboats, and elsewhere;
but the high-bred gentleman rarely INDUCED
in so low an estimate Of northern spirit and
character. AS to ''weasel-faces and nasal
twangs," we think few people in the United
States will exhibit less evidences of these
characteristics than the people of New
England, albeit we are not the special
champion of that section of the country.
But we think it is about time that these
inyidious distinctions of character, drawn
between the different sections of our coun-
try, and the different classes of people resi-
ding therein, were dispensed with in
American Journalism. The little affair at
Appomattox ought to have ended all carp
ing about the courage and true manliness
of this branch Of the human family"
which The Wing finds it so difficult to
classify, and which is SO "low-downn in
its own estimation. The worst possible
reflection upon our own chivalry is to be
found in our depreciation of those who
have measured swords with us SO success
fully as to demand surrender Of our
own. t

all the statistics they can procure, and
clearly stating all the matters of which
they complain and the remedies they de-
sire Congress to enact, to the end that that
body may be enabled to proceed in plain,

The Brantford, Canada, Courier
tells of gentleman of that town who
recently tried an experiment which,
he says, has coiiipfeteiy cured his wife
of Jealousy. He says HE was subject
to a night curtain lecture from his
better half at a time when he wished
to be wrapped in the arms of Nor
pheus, for retaining an affection for
an old lady friend. . He bore it for
several nights with a Christian like
resignation. But after long euffer-I
ing, he devised plan for putting an
end to it. He procured piece of
wood in the shape of q human being,
aud dressed it In some of his wife's
wardrobe, and then placed it In the
garden, sitting In an iron chair. To,
this craven image he knelt down and
poured forth inpassioned addresses.
The servant girl was standing at the
Kitchen door at this time and heard
th ese appeals She immediately noti-
fed her mistress of the fact. Pres
emily both of them urged from the
kitchen, armed with broomsticks, and
made an attack upon the dummy wo-
man." W hile the husband, who had
retired in good order, sat at the back
enjoying the scone. After knocking
the image down, they ponnced upon
and tore the clothing in rags. They
soon discovered the cheat, and rushed
into the house terribly mortified. The
husband followed them and said ex-
asperating things. Whenever she
shows any disposition to be jealous,
he has only to mention the little scene
in the garden, and she changes the
topic. The servant has since been in
duced to go to the States where the
"wages are high"

From The San Luis Obispo Tribune.
We learn that an unusual and very
exciting contest took place at the
rancho OF Ramon Felias on the Moro
creek, about fourteen miles from this
place, one, morning last week. It
seems that Mr.. Feliz. shortly after get
tin up in the morning, went out TO
feed his stock, and that soon after he
was startled by the cries ofghis wife
and family. Running to the house,
he. found that large wildcat had
seized his youngest child, an infant,
by the back of the neck, and was max
ing of with it. After a severe s1fug-
g4essh succeeded in rescuing it, the
cat making its escape. Sometime af=
ter the excitement had subsidized, an
Indian boy, about eighteen years old
went out to bring in some horses that
had been staked out over night some
distance, from the house He had been
gone but a few. minutes when the
family were again aroused. by the
cries of the boy, who CAME rushing
towards the honse, yelling like mad
man, with the same identical cat that
had caused the first disturbance firmly
seated on his back, with his teeth i'm
bedded in the back of his neck. AM
othero desperate battle ensned, which
successfully cleaned out the whole
Feliz family, killed his tWoadogs and
retreated in good order to the house
of e. NJ. Howe, under which he en-
sconed himself, 'defying all efforts to
disIod ge him until night, iWhenit es-
capped nnscathed. The wounds re-
ceiyed by the Indian boy were quite
severe, and the good people, fearing
the cat was mad, thought it, best to
scaFify the wounds, which they did
byoheating a aserowbar, the only imple-
ment, about the, premises that would
answer the purpose. We understand
that, considering the ordeal of scratch
ing, biting and singing the boy passed
through, heais doing remarkably we'll
and will be all right again in a few
days.
