THE decision on the motion for rehearing
in the Honey case, which is published to-
day, possesses certainly very strange in
consistency. It starts out by asserting most
positively that the State is not a party to
the cause, and winds up by adjudging costs
against it. Most assuredly the State will
never pay them when the whole court
agrees to the fact that the State is not one
Of the disputants. It is to be hoped that
such inconsistencies do not often creep into
the Supreme court decisions.

WE publish from the Chicago Tribune an
article on political blackmailing, showing
what has been going on in that way at St.
Louis, Baltimore and New York The same
thing has been going on here with the
Texas Radicals. A very worthy employee
in the Governors Office was, short time
ago, turned off because he refused to pay
heavy assessment on his salary for political
purposes The Radicals do this every
where, for money in elections is one of
their main reliances.

WHEREAS, The painful intelligence has

Smith, formerly a member OF the Supreme
Court of this State, has fallen a victim to
the yellow fever at his homo in Columbus
on the tWenty-irst instant; and

SECESSION RADICALs.

1t is curious with what ease the very hot
est headed secessionists and haters of the
Yankees, during the war, turn Radicals Of
the worst kind. In our State there is Gen.
Parsons, who, before the war, thought the
negroes no better than monkeys, and wanted
to reopen the African slave trade, now one
of the most blatant and low-down Radical
politicians. Look at GovernorJo. Brown, of
Georgia, he is another Of that class. While
the war was going on, he was dissatisfied
with President Davis, because he did not
conduct the war with more vigor and fury
against the hateful Yankees, whom, ap-
parently, he wanted to eat up raw. He is the
Radical leader in Georgia, and was one Of the
very first to 90 over. So of Hughes, now
the Radical candidate for Governor Of Vir-
ginia. During the war, he was chief editor
of the Richmond Examiner, assisted by the
notorious Pollard, one Of the same sort,
and he was the most violent man against the
Yankees that could be found in the country.
He was always abusing JEFF Davis for his
mild and gentlemanly way Of conducting
the war, according to the best and most
merciful usages Of modern warfare. Hughes
insisted on showing no quarter and wanted
guerrilla parties to be thrOnging the coun-
try, raiding and despOiling and killing with
out mercy. We were in Richmond long
time and well remember the character Of
his editorials and those Of his intimate
friend and associate, Pollard And this is the
man now running for Governor Of Virgins,
and supported by Grant snd the whole vile
Radical set.

FROM notice in the State journal, we
see that it is trying to get the printing of
all the Radical tickets, and it promises to
print them SO that they cannot be counter
feited. This means, besides an attempt to
get all the profit of printing tickets for the
whole Radical party, that it will print them
so that the negroes can see whether any of
their color vote the Democratic ticket, and
spot them if they do. But we tell the
Journal that this thing of force, to produce
fear, viii not be permitted in the coming
election. There is now no military or
special police to overawe the voters, and
they will be allowed to vote as they please,
without molestation, and if any attempt is
made, either by whites or negroes, to inter
fere with the voters, all engaged in it will be
promptly prosecuted under the laws Of the
United States. So that the Journal had

From the Union County (Ky.) Advocated
There is now a COW belonging to an
individual in this place that has not
added to the number of his live stock
for four years; has been MIXED once a
day for the last two years. Last winter
the lacteal supply was about half pint
per day. This spring that individual be-
came infested with the everlasting spirit
of whitewash, and employed one George,
of color, whom he verify believes has
pandered to a vitiated taste for the said
whitewash, SO as to build him up trade,
whereby as a leech upon the body social,
he may make himself full and sleek.
Well, this hapless individual employed
George, and had his fencing, wherever it
could be fodnd, and visible, white
washed, and became proud and vain, and
puffed up as his neighbors, and was
much pleased, when lol that half.pint
COW commenced, and plank by plank
and panel by panel licked of that white
wash. Now learn the consequence: That
cow has increased in milk from that half
pint to over two gallons per day, and If
there was more whitewash in reach she
wonld double that, or perhaps turn to a
puddle of milk. This is valuable dis
covery, and will be patented, and con-
tract taken to supply the owners OF all
the old white cows about town with lime
sufficient to furnish milk through the
whole of next winter.

loon by harness, and as he went up and
came down he uttered the most piteous
cries. The balloon went but two squares

his claws to the best advantage on the

powerful for him, and it dragged him in
to the street, where he fell upon pile ol
bricks, receiving serious injuries.

knows her husband is not Of the best
material, but she thinks the title will
make amends. She usually hnds the
husband worse than she thought and
the title much less satisfactory. The
tone of morals among men OF the world
on the Continent received such damage
during the twenty years Of the French
empire that il will take many more
wears 10 recover. This degradation is
shown in recent works OF fiction and in
recent plays which have excited univer'
sal criticism and disgust. But the out
cry comes from two classes-the depray-
ed spirits who know the pictures are
true, and think they should not be made
public, and the honest folks who call
them false. The people who reyolved
around the Tuileries in the last ten
years OF the empire have nothing TO
learn from Belot or Dumas. n|
It was only among that corrupt and
essentially vulgar set that this worship
Of titles survived. There were so few
men Of good family who recognized the
Emperor that he was charmed with the
adhesion Of those who came, and they
were Always WeicOhe III the lulietleS
and the civil service. The American
imperialists naturally shared in this
folly, and attributed an exaggerated i'm
portance to titles Of nobility. But in
fact title is now worth very little any
where on the continent. In France, for
instance, there are thirty thousand u
ties, while in England there are only six
hundred lords, and the value Of the des-
ignation is in the corresponding ratio.
la Germany Gre6n may let lodgings,
and a baroness may bring home your
washing. Many an American girl who,
while unmarried, was the pet Of the pal
ace, has found that she descended in So
cial position by becoming a countess.
Our countrywomen should remember
they are sovereigns, and that they will
make a mesalliance by marrying any
subject.

The CeIebrnted j Judge Lynch.

From the New Orleans Herald,
Mr.. Bartholomew Lynch, who presides
over Kelloggs Fourth District Court,
and who has won such unenviable noto
riety in the Pcayune libel suit, is son
of old Erin, and speaks the English with
broad brogue.
There is humorous as well as an
irascible phase to Lynchs character.
1t is related of him that not long since
lawyer-who also is a son Of the Green
Isle-was arguing somewhat tedious
case before him, when Lynch, having
satisfied himself as to the merits of the
case, and dreading a lengthy speech,
said quite abruptly TO the voluble attor-
ney, whom we shall name Hagan:
Mister Hagan, sit down, sirr e.
The attorney, with GOODNESS that was
refreshing, paid not the slightest atten-
ton to the command, and proceeded
with his argument.
Mister Hagan," said Lynch, rather
more pointedly, take your safe, sirW
The lawyer scarcely noticed the inter-
ruption, but plunged ahead as vigor'
ously as ever. i.aa.
Lynch was now excited, and turning
to the sheriff, he exclaimed;
Mr.. Sheriff, safe Mr.. HaganH
The Sheriff hesitated moment to see
if his superior was in earnest, when sud
denly the irate magistrate, with an at
tempt to smother his wrath that was a
palpable failure, exclaimed, " Mister
Hagan, 60 on, thinr' and after whisper
ing something to the clerk, he relapsed
into listening attitude, remaining per
fectly quiet for some hour and half, al
which time the lawyer having exhausted
the subject, and being quite exhausted
himself, sank into chair and saturated
an extensive pocket handkerchief with
the copious perspiration that beaded his
legal brow.
Lynch raised himself slowly in his
chair, and inquired very mildly, Are
