Be Cheerful.

Emerson says :-"Do not hang dismal
picture on the wall, and do not deal with
sables and gloom in your conversation -
Beecher follows with "Away with those
fellows bowling through life and all the
while passing for birds of paradise. He
that cannot laugh and be gay should look
well to himself. He should fast and pray
until his face breaks forth into light"
Talmage then takes up the strain " Some
people have an idea that they comfort the
afflicted when they groan over them
Don't drive hearse through mans soul.
When you bind up broken bone of the
soul, and you want splints, do not make
them Of cast-iron" After such counsel
ings and admonitiOns, lay aside your long
faces.

CIrcumstantlal Evidence.

A CASE Of attempted murder which
IA recently occurred in the township of
Delhi, near Cincinnati, has lead to a most
extraordinary conflict Of evidence, and the
most singular feature Of the whole affair
is that all the contradictory testimony pro-
duced in the case was undoubtedly given
in good faith, and may easily be ex-
planned on theory which would clear all
the witnesses from any suspicion of having
testified falsely, while acquitting the per-
son accused of the crime of any knowledge
Of the act imputed to him. Delhi is O dis
trict mostly inhabited by German market
gardeners, who supply Cincinnati with
early asparagus, cabbages, and other vege-
tables One Of these gardeners, named
Joseph Harmes, is thrifty German who
was reputed usually to have considerable
sum Of money in his house. On the eve
ming of Nov. Goth, Harness was shot, un-
der circumstances which are described by
himself and his wife as follows: At about
bsif past FIVE O'clock as he came out from
his stable, he was approached by man
named Fred. Kleayer, the son of Mrs.
Williams from whom he rented 3 his place.
He had known Kleaver for nine years, and
the two at once entered into conversation.
They talked about gardening, about the
price Of cabbages, and other matters In
which Harmes was interested, and were

presently Joined by Mrs. Harness, who took
part in the conversation, in the course of
which Kleaver mentioned various circum-
stances familiar to all of them. He also
made proposition to Harmes to rent him
piece of ground belonging to one of the
Williams family, saying that he was 20
ing to the house of his mother Mrs. Will
lams, and on leaving went in that direc-
ton. On the same evening, after MIR.
Harness had his supper he met Kleaver
just outside his house, and went toward
him when he was shot at and hit in the
arm. Harness was astonished, and exclaim-
ed, " Man, are you crazy? You have shot
me in the arm" His assailant then fired
several more shots, two of which took eff
feet in his head, and he fell, mortally
wounded as it was at first supposed
Harmes and his wife both positively swore
at the examination which subsequently
took place before magistrate that Kleaver
was the man who fired the shots. This ex-
animation was held Dec. 10Th, when
Harness who had unexpectedly recovered
was able to take the stand, as witness
But the evidence of both himself and his
wife was completely overbalanced by that
produced by the defence for Kleaver, who
is young married man of excellent char
acter, employed as baggage master on
the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
Railroad, proved by number of unim-
peachable witnesses that he was in Cincin-
natl at the time when the alleged CONVEX
sation and subsequent shooting at Delhi
took place. The result was that Kleaver
was discharged from custody, having es-
tablished an unquestionable Gli5i, though
the German friends of Harness are as con-
fident as ever that he was guilty of the at
tempted murder. In view of the unim-
peached character of the witnesses on both
sides, the only reasonable way of account
ing for the discrepancies in the evidence is
to suppose that some person closely re-
sembling Kleaver personated him with the
premeditated design of killing and robbing
Harmes if possible, and of throwing sus-
picion upon Kleaver in case his plans
should miscarry, as it happened they did.

President Madison and the Office Seeker.
DREsIDENT MADISON was fond

DRESIDENT MADISON was fond of
Il telling the story of visit made him
by one of his supporters. After due in
troductory discussion of the weather and
the state of parties, the voter explained to
the President that he had called upon him
to ask for the Office of Chief-Justice of the
United States.
Mr.. Madison was little surprised, but
with that ready tact which he had brought
from his diplomatic experience, he con-
cealed his astonishment. He took down
the volume which contained the Consti-
tuition of the United States, and explained
to this Mr.. Swearingin-if that were his
name-that the judges held office on the
tenure of good behaviour, and that Judge
Marshall, then the ornament of the bench,
could not be removed to make place for
him.
Mr.. Swearingin received the announce
ment quietly and, after a moment, said
he thought he should like to be Secretary
of State.
The President said that was undoubted-
ly place where a man could do good ser
vice to the country but then Monroe, like
MIR. Swearingin and himself, was Virgin
ian, and he did not like to remove him.
"Then," said Mr. Swearingin, az will
be Secretary of the Treasury"
Unfortunately, the President said, the
present incumbent wss Pennsylvania (;
it was necessary 30 conciliate Pennsylvania;
and he could not remove him.
Them" said Mr.. Swearingin, {" think
will be abroad. should like to go to
France"
"Do you speak French, asked the Pres
ident, kindly.
No, no; / speak nothing but Old Do
minion English, good enough for me, Mr..
President"
"Yes, yes; and for me- But 1 don't
think it will do to send you to the Mon
sieurs unless you can speak their Ian
guage."
"Then I'll go to England"
"Ah, Mr.. Swearingin !! that will never
do; King George might remember how
often your father snapped his rifle at Lord
Corvallis"
SO Europe was exhausted. And Mr.
Swcaringin fell back on one and another
collectorship, naval Office, district-attor-
neyship but, for each application, the
astute President had his reply.
~ think, then, Mr.. President, will be
postmaster at our Office at home"
Mr.. Madison had forgotten where that
was but learning that it was at Slate
Creek, Four Corners, Botetourt County
Virginia, he sent for the register. Alas it
proved that the Office was in the hands of
one Of Morgan's veterans. Impossible to
remove him
"Truly, Mr.. Madison said Mr. Swear
ingin, 81 am obliged to you for your at
tention to my case. see the difficulties
that surround you. Now, seeing you eau
not give me the chief Justices place, nor
Mr.. Monroe's, nor the Treasury, nor any Of
these others, don't you think you could
give me pair Of Of old leather breechesg''
Mr.. Madison thought he could, did
better gave him an order on his tailor for
the breeches and Mr.. Swearingin went
happily on his way, From old and Neso

c8- Nothing on earth can smile but hu-
man beings. Gems may flash reflected
light, but what is a diamond flash compar-
ed with an eye flash and mirth flash. A
face that cannot smile is like bud that
cannot blossom, and dries upon the stalk.
Laughter is day, and sobriety is night and
a smile is the twilight that hovers gently
between both, and more bewitching than
either.

The resolves bearing upon the race

The resolves bearing upon the race is
sue which were adopted are as follows.
The Democratic and Conservative party Of
Alabama in convention assemble d do resolve
and declare:
First-That the radical and dominant fac
ton of the Republican party in this State
persistently by false and fraudulent represen-
tations have inflamed the passions and prelu-
dices of the negroes as a race against the
white people and have thereby made it nee
essary for the white people to unite and act
together in self-defence and for the ptes>rYa-
ton of white civilization.
Second-That the rights Of AL classes OF
men under the Constitution and laws OF the
land must be respected and preserved invio-
late; but we deny that Congress can constr
tutionally enact laws TO force the two races
into social union or equality.
ThiId-That the sG-called Civil Rights tlll'
recently passed by the Federal Senate and now
pending in the House is fragrant and dan
gerous invasion of the ancient conservative
principles of personal liberty and free gov
ernment, and is a palpable violation OF the
Federal Constitution, and presents an is
sue of vital moment to the American peo-
ple and calls upon them TO decide at the bal
lot box whether they will or will not be co.
creed to the absolute social as well as po!iti
cal equality of the negro race with them
selves. We view with adherence the attempt
on the part of the Federal Government to
take the control of the schools, colleges,
churches, hotels, railroads, steamboats,, thea
tres, and graveyards for the purpose of es-
tablishing negro equality and enforcing 1t un-
der numerous penalties of fines, damages,
and imprisonment.
Fourth--Civil remedies for the protection
of civil rights are adequately provided for by
the common law to all races of men in this
State, and added to these are social remedies
of men are properly left free by the laws to
adopt for themselves; so that the negro race
has the same means Of protecting itself
against the invasions OF its civil rights un-
der the law, and against intrusion upon its
so-called rights and privileges by the white
race, that we have TO preserve and protect
ourselves and families against the intrusion
of the negro race. Under these laws
the race to which in the providence
of God we belong has achieved an eminence
among the people of the world which is our
proud Inheritance, and has become to us
trust we cannot resign without dishonor. We
therefore denounce, as violative Of the letter
and spirit of our Constitution, and as dIshon-
oring to the genius of our race, all legislative
enactments which attempt to convert into
crimes the rules and maxlms of our social
intercourse, to which we are indebted f5r
the excellence and glory Of our civilization,
or to punish with degrading penalties our re
fusal to admit an ignorant and barbarous race
to equal participation with our families in
our social institutions.

more corn in the country than was antici-
pated, and the deal was not winning one for
June. But they accomplished in July what
they failed to do in June. The parties who
figured most in this transaction are four in
number, chief among whom is Jack Sturges,
of this city, +. X. Bruce is another success
ful one. The bank of Montreal furnished the
funds, and Jesse Hoyt & Co., of New York
city, handled the corn
There was also a corner in oats consum-
mated to-day. which, under ether circum-
stances, would have ranked as a frst-class
sensation, but it was so completely over
shadowed by the operations in corn that it
sunk to secondary matter and created but
little stir The day, as a whole, was one of
the most exciting in the annals OF Chicago
grain speculation.

THE WHITE MANS PARTY.

The democrats of Alabama at their re-
cent State convention planted themselves
in their platform squarely upon color as a
political issue. There has been great
deal said about the formation of White
Mans Party, but this is the first time that
any convention has passed resolves in ia
vor of it. In plain words the Alabama
democrats say that it is necessary for the
white people to unite and act together in
self defence and for the preservation of
white civilization" This of course
means war of races. white against black
such war as every friend of humanity
must deprecate.
Thus there is placed upon the shoulders
of the democratic party heavy response
bility. They cannot escape accountable,
ty for whatever evil consequences may
result from the arraying of race against
race in political conflict. They have
struck the first blow. Every man of good
sense and fair judgment " i'll say that color
should be no test of mems politics. but
the democrats propose to make il the su-
preme test by organizing a White Man 5
Party.
While the democrats contented them
selves with denouncing the negroes, their
course was not Objectionable farther than it
might lead to produce race animosity, but
when their conventions adopt resolutions
in favor Of White Mans Party, then
their policy in relation to the blacks be-
comes matter of serious concern, to be
promptly disavowed by every man who is
a democrat and denounced by all who are
friends of justice and humanity. viii
Hon. Joseph Titcomb inform the people
OF this State what he thinks of the
Alabama resolutions Is he in favor
of sanctioning the war of races now
initiated by his brethren in Alabama
The voters of the State have right to
know his opinion upon this question of
color, now forced upon the attention Of
the country by democratic convention.

The democrats of Massachusetts have
resolved to hold State Convention the
9th of September. There is just about
enough of them left to make fair-sized
convention, and their courage is sufficient
to enable them to make nominations and
pass long string of heavy resolutions.
Their last achievement was the voting for
Curtis every time in the last legislature,
but what their next will be no one can
tell.
The French Assembly has voted to ad-
journ from August 9th to November 30th.
The scenes in that body for few days
past have been disgraceful. Evidently
the country has found ruler in Mae
Mahon, and the monarchists are not so
certain of attaining their objects as they
were at the commencement of the session.
but the government is by no means estab-
lished. The adjournment of the Assem-
bly, will give the factions an opportunity
to breathe and get ready for more de-
cisive struggle than has yet been had.
