SLAVERY AND SLAVERY LEAD
EIE<S.

Recalling the great giants of the
slavery and antislavery quarrel, the
ST. Louis Republican is struck with
the difference in their fates. Our Mis-
souri, contemporary embodies its
thoughts in the following language:
of the State where he struck the first
blow for freedom. Mr.. Lincoln, the
first anti-slavery President, died by an
assnssns bulled, which yc5, was scarce
ly more pitiIess than TIE biography
that afterwards tore his good name to
tatters. Preston King, it is said, COM
mitted suicide. Gsrritt Smith is said
to have lost his reason. Jim Lane by
his own hand. tho victim Of a rcmorse
which even his farce, iron nature
could not endure. Horace Greeley
died in deseat and deljriua amidst
the excavations OF the party which
he had buiided. Mr.. Beecher
still lives, hut only to look upon the
ghustiy fragments OF reputation
which was the greatest o. ail--torn to
pieces by his own friend, whom, in
turn, lie has ground to dust under his
heavy heel. MIR. Summer died under
the condemnation CT Lis party, having
lived the last two years OF his life uu-
der the condemnation OF his own State.
Fremont lives under ban of out
lawry before q French court, before
which he refuses TO appear to answer
charges Of fraud. SO much for the
tragic fate Of the anti slavery leaders.
Turning t. tl.e Sorth t. 10 * after
their great antagonists on the other
side; We find that Mason, Slidell. Soule,
Brooks, WiGfali, have died peacefully
| on their .,eds; STEPHENS has lived to
! return - Congress; and Tnmbs, Hun
| ter, Wise aad Davis live to 500 the
wr.cl; and ruin of so many of their old
antagonists. Slavery came ont OF the
contest q, featal, and antI-slavery

from Mrs. Eurnhan's New York letter to
the st. Louis Republican.
\ lady in much distress of mind
asked me how she could raise certain
sum @: money. She had already tried
to pawn some diamonds, and found
that brokers were only advancing
even on 500 of security, insignificant
sums ranging N the teas. Wouldn't I
be good enough to talk over some Pc
culinary liability of my OWE over before
her husband ? Then she could set a
large sum from him afterwards, osten-
siblysto loan me. This was a very
nice scheme for me, and [ asked what
sort OF difficulty she was in that she
couldn't make full confession to the
gentleman who lad contracted accord
iry to the prayer book to pay her bills.
Well, she had got in G2btto Mrs. -,
and must pay her. Then, knowing
Mrs. was neither milliner nor dress
maker, but @ lady Of like situation
with herself-bcth boarding in q
fashionable hotel asked if it was
borrowed money.
mo. Lost Lost at lottery"
Mrs. --haS a fine parlor IN an
uptown hotel, it seems, and the 9th
er ladies, to the number of fifteen or
twenty, get together in her room and
play the game called lottery" the
pot being sometimes as big as SO.
This grew interesting, so with Mrs.
--'s permission went up to play
lottery"
Eight ladies sat around marble
centre table, while ninth had a gen
tlemans soft hat in her lap, in which
were ninety numbers on little wooden
buttons. Each lady had put in fifty
cents to the pot, and had three cards
before her with numbers in squares.
AS Mrs. called 26, II, 10, SO, each
little woman hungrily eyed her card,
either moving up her glass chip tri-
umphantly or dejectedly groaning as
she failed to find the number called
on her row of figures. Lottery?
The precious dears were playing the
simplergame Of keno, and getting as
excited and eager over their 50 pot as
if it were a thousand.
Mrs.-kindly desired to teach me
the game, but I thought would bring
it up to perfection before [ went in, SO
] showed em how when one lady got
her row complete, she should say "ke-
no" (Which was correcD instead Of
''full'' as they hitherto had done. Then
1 told them they should "verify" by
the dealers stringing the buttons in
los, 90, and so on in lines on the table.
Before that she had always dumped
them from one hat to another. Then
I fixed it that the winner take the pot
and all the rest should come up again,
and so on till the buttons were all out,
instead of beginning new game atthe
end of one call, as they always had
done. Thus, you zee, I tried to do
these wretched gamblers all the good
c1uld.

SOUTHERN IREPGBEaCiNS

A Republican writing from this city
to the New York Tribune has this to
say in respect to the recent election in
North Carolina:
"Very often, in forming conclusions
or building theories, the most obviols
truths are the least considered. This
axiom is the text for brief notice in
our State elections, from local stand
point Whether the triumph of the
Democratic Conservative party shall
have national significance rests with
the Republican party. The Republi-
cans either do not or will not under
stand our first obvious truth-that Re
publicanism North and Republicanism
South are different as day and night.
In the North and West the party en-
braces the law-abiding, intelligent,
cultured portion Of the community;
in the South it is made up of the law
less. immoral and ignorant. And this
brings us to a second obvious truth
that while the lamentable ignorance of
the average negro is universally adj
mitted, the character of thatignOrance
is little understood.
"Jess SO, Uncle Billy" If we had
written this of the Radical party of
this State it would have been pro-
nounced the result of prejudice;
even some of our own party would
have said we were extremists. Much
of the truth and force of the remark

that our party will, at last, realize the

Reaching Greensboro, we still found
the people rejoicing over the election
of SCALES and KERR. Spending Tues.
day night there, we took the Danville
train, OF the next day, for Scottsburg
where we arrived about 5 o'clock P. NJ.
Thence to this place. But more anon.
