HARpER's Weekly we'll observes that

HARPER's Weekly well observes that
it was not until the Democrats had
carried New Hampshire and Connect.
cut that the Southern cut-throats felt
emboldened to recomnence their war
of extermihation upon the blacks.
AS long as the Republican party was
securely in power they knew they
would be punished for any manifesto
ton of their natural murderous procliv-
tiles and they consequently held
themselves in obedient reserve to the
laws; but the. moment it becomes APP
parent (to them) that there was a
prospect ola reaction in favor of their
natural allies, the Democracy,th they took
heart and began to prosecute the
blacks. Thus Democracy and law
lessness 60 together. There would
have been no murders of innocent
blacks in Tennessee or Louisiana ifthe
murderers had not been encouraged
to believe that the Democrats of the
North were their friends. Every
lukewarm Republican can see, there
fore,- what will be the effect of permit
ting the natural enemies Of order and
of peace'.o triumph; and it is not too
much to say that ronsing Republi-
can triumph at the elections in Oc-
tober and November will do more
to restore peace and quietness to the
South than can be accomplished by
a standing army, be. it never SO
strong.
LET every Republican in the county
attend the primsry meeting in his
town. The question of who we shall
elect to represent us in our State Leg
islature this fall is one of national i'm.
portance, and much depends upon our
county NOMINATIONS.
A MAN from whom we might have
expected better things has come for.
ward with proposition which creates
an uncomfortable feeling. 1t is that
America is the tomb of races. He
is man of considerable scientific re-
search, and the author of "Sex in Edu
cation" His name is DR.. Edward HI
Clark. He proceeds to show tina
there were at least two distinct race
that inhabited this continent previous
to the Indians, both of which became
successfully extinct just as the Indians
are becoming extinct now. The burr
all places and mounds containing pots
weapons, etc, that have been discov
cred are adduced as evidence Of thu
statement. Then the question arises
whether or not we are doomed to fol
low in he wake of our predecessors
The causes of the extinctions mentione
are surmised to be some popularity il
the climate Or soil or vegetation whicl
has in the lapse of time caused races t. de
generate and die out. On the other
hand, he points to the incalculable long
evity of the Asiatic, European am
African peoples, whose existence il
lost in the mazes of the most ancient his
tory. The comparison is not very
favorable to this continent certainly
And it remains to be seen if the Can
casiau race has sufficient physical anl
mental endurance to resist for all tim,
the ravages, of whatever nature they
may have been, which destroyed GU
predecessors. IF four or five thou
sand years hence we find we have he'll
our own we shall feel very much graft
fed, and no longer have apprehensions

The crew were sli strong. willing men.

A BURMESE OArH.-Burmese laws are.
on the whole, just and wise, and were
evidently framed with view to advance
the interests of justice and morality. but
they very often prove futile. owing to the
tyranny and rapacity Of the king, and the
venaii,y of many Of his officers. Thco-
res!cally false swearing is particularly OBJ
noxous among the Burmese. A witness
in c' 'urt is compelled to take a fearful
oath. which might we'll strike terror into
simple minds. 1t invokes the most dire
sal penalties for not speaking the trutl,
upon the witness and oil his rela,i7es.-
For instance: Let the calami,ies occas-
ioned BY Gre, water. rulers. thieves. and
enemies Cypress and destroy US till We
perish and come to utter destruction.
Let us be the subject to all the calamities
that are within the body, and all that are
without, the body. May We be seized with
madness. dumbness, blindness. deafness.
lcprosy. and hpdrophobia. May We be
struck with thundcr-bolts and lightning
and come to sudden death. In the mids,
Of not speaking the truth may be taken
with vomiting clOt.ed black blood, and
suddenly die before the assembled people.
When am going BY water. may the VA
ter gnats assault me. the boat be upset.
and the property lost; and may alliga,ors.
porpoiscs, sharks. and other sca-monstcrs
seize and crush me to death: aud when
change worlds, may I not arrive among
men or gnats. but suffer unmixed punish
ment aud regret. in the utmost wretched-
ness. among the four states Of punish
ment. He'll. Prota. Beasts, aud Athu.
rakai.' Imagine the effect of such an
oath delivered in New York police court
Yet. notwithstanding these fearful impre-
cations. the Burmese witness is quite as
uncertain as his civilized and Christian
brother.-From "7Ee Land o1the White
