BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY.

In speaking of a persons faults,
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember those with homes of glass
Should seldom throw a stone;
If we have nothing else to do
Than talk of those who sin,
. IT'S better we commence at home,
AZ d from that point begin.
We have no right to judge man
Until he's fairly tried;
Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide.
Some may have faults-and who has not:
The old as well as young;
Perhaps we may, for aught we know,
Have fifty to their one.
I'll tell you of n better plan,
And find it works full well;
To try my own defects 10 cure
Ere others faults tell;
And though sometimes hope to be
No worse than some l know,
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults of others go.
Then let us all, when we begin
To slander friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word may do
To those we little know.
Remember curses, some times, like
Our chickens, "roOst at home;',
Don't speak of others faults until .
We have none of our own.

THE EAST AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE.

THE EAST AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE.
A letter has been received inE England
from the Rev. Charles New, mission
ary in Africa, under date Of Mombas-
sa, in which he says:
The institution of slavery among
thenative population remains untouch-
ed, except as regards the open sale OF
slaves in the public markets. But for
those are substituted others which
can scarcely be called private ones.
ANY trader can sell as many as he
pleases upon his own land, provided
he surrounds it with fence of some
kind: and these sales cannot be less
hideous than the former were. Wher-
ever I 90 see and hear the same hor-
rors that prevailed years ago. Chain
ed gangs, manacled and fettered in
dividuals, the clank, clank, clank of
iron, the grip of the stocks, the thud
of the stick, the screams of the affiict-
ed fall upon the ear every day. Stop
ping at the house of friend in Zsnzi-
bar few weeks ago. heard strange
sounds proceeding from an adjoining
building. 1t was as though . dozen
mortars and pestles were in operation
for the purpose of proving which
could make the greatest noise. But
above. the whole were heard the
screams of some poor creature, who
was evidently being severely punish
ed. My friend explained that it was
the. custom of his neighborhood to
beat their slaves numerically, but
that to drown their cries the mortars
and pestles were always kept vigor-
ously at work till the screaming was
done. Regarding the slave traffic. by
sea, there is much evidence to show
that many slaves are still smuggled
from the mainland, and are conveyed
across the sea. Zanzibar is as well
stocked with slaves as ever, and it is
likely to he SO, the circumstances be-
ing such as they are. When l was at
Pangani l met with two boats of one
of her majesty's cruisers, which after
search of ten days, had succeeded in
capturing one slave, yet two whole
gangs, heavily chained, were tossed
that very day into the flood at the
mouth of the river, and England,
with all her philanthropy, diplomacy
and might, could do nothing to save
them, because, forsooth, the calamity
happened at the mouth of river and
not at sea.

found that, although the apportion-
ment for members of the Legislature
| in other parts of the State, as well as
Hamilton county, was against them'
| if the whole delegation from Hamil-
ton was admitted it would give the
Democrats a tie vote with their oppo-
nents. They therefore decided to take
their seats. No particular hour was
then fixed by law for the meeting OF
the two Houses, although ten o'clock
had generally been observed. The
morning of the 4th day of December,
being the first Monday in the month,
saw the Democrats in the House in
full force at nine o'clock a. m.-Mr.
Benjamin Letter, of Stark, acting as
temporary Chairman. Before the
Wing members, with few exceptions
were in the chamber, the roll of coun-
ties had been called in alphabetic Or
der, and Geo. e. Pugh and his col
league, A. N. Pierce, the two MEM
bers residing in the disputed district,
had been sworn in as members. Ex-
cept the swearing in OF members,
the Democrots were powerless to act;
they had no quorum to elect ofhcers.
From that day until the 4th day Of
January following, they held possess
ion of the floor of the House. which
they resolved into perpetual session,
the members and their friends keep
ing watch and ward by night and by
day. ff3t.ts 80 .|
The Wings, with A. 7. Holcomb, Of
Meigs county, as temporary Chairman
would march In at ten O'Clock, and as
rsembling around their Chairman to
protect him, would also 60 through
the form of calling the roll of chosen
members to come forward and be
sworn in. This gone through with
they would adjourn until next day
Large numbers of Democrats slept on
the floor of the House for weeks to
prevent the Wings from capturing it.
During the day, crowds in which all
parts of the State were represented,
pack ed the room, nine-tenths of them
with, loaded revolvers. More than
twenty times the hostile forces were
on the eve of pitched battle, and
there was scarce single day in the
month of December, 1919, but single
blow, between men of the opposite
parties would have been the exciting
cause of bloodshed and death.
Among the members elected, not of
the Democracy, nor of the Wings,
were Norton S. Townsend, of Lorain,
now of this city, and John F. Morse,
of Ashtabula. They were members
of the Free Soil organization, and
were elected as such. They held the
balance of power between the oppos-
ing factions, and finally brought about
the arrangement which led to peace
between the two parties. Pierce and
Pugh-this was the first appearance OF
George E. Pugh in Ohio pohtics-re-
tanned their seats, and Salmon 2. Chase
then Free Soiler, was elected to the
United States Senate, and the laws
which gave the negro race "no rights
that the white man was bound to re-
spect" were repealed.

Sir Reading your solution Of the number of
apples eaten by Adam and Eve in the Garden of
Eden, reminded me of note l made about it
some considerable time ago. Now, after very
careful examination of the only then known ex-
isting genuine document of that period (most un-
fortunately for me, since destroyed,) which note
was to this effect =" Eve hearing Adam talking
apples in his sleep, got up very early in the morn
ing and sl424-stal him and with her knowledge
Of what must happen, persuaded Adam
42sl24240fy himself against the coming events" I"
OF course the language used is rather primitive
bat education was not even then compulsory
Some hypercritical persons may say the quantity
eaten is absurd. l think otherwise, when it is
admitted by every one who understands anything
about the subject, that Adam alone could eat at
that time more then all the rest of the men in
the then known world. Thus, the total number
really eaten was 42s2O5,664, which, from other
sources, calculate was the total quantity on the
tree that season.

A CANDIDATE FOR THE
GALLONS.
An Escaped Convict Captured.

About half past o'clock yesterday morning,
one Lawrence Williams, alias William John
son, alias Harris, (colored), broke open and
entered the residence of Mr.. Richard Terrill,
corner of Robin and Magazine streets, and
in attempting to break open lock woke Mr..
Terrin up, who Immediately grabbed his
revolver and ran out into the hall
The thief, seeing that he was cornered,
threw up his hands and begged for his life.
His cries aroused the neighborhood, and be-
fore many minutes Officers Hawkins and
Clavie came to the gentlemans assistance
and marched the burglar to the Second Pre-
cinct Station.
Upon being searched, large-sized Colts
revolver was found concealed on his person.
Laurence Williams, in the month of June,
1871, committed burglary in Jefferson City,
under the name of William Johnson, and was
sentenced to eight years hard work in the
Louisiana State Penitentiary, where he man.
aged to make his escape, about month ago,
and repaired to this city.
He was arraigned before Judge Evans this
morning and remanded to the Parish Prison
without the benefit of bail to appear for
trial

COURT CIRCULAR.

At Castle San Carlos, where II. r. 81. Prince
Sheridan, K G. B., is a guest, the strains o.
revelry last night foated out upon the mid
| night air
From the blue chamber, where His Roya
Highness holds court, the delectablc odor Of
Roderer and Cognac permeated the atm os.
phere of the corridors and thoroughfares
leading thereto, and the tramp of feet and
| rustic Of silk betokened that the Prince was
having "high old time"
To an emissary who gained an entrance
into the royal presence, a scene Of splendo1
was presented to his dazed and wondering
vision. The Prince, habited in forked-tail
coat, which fit as if moulded to his classic
form, looked supremacy happy, and deigned
to converse affably to his retainers and maids
of honor.
The occasion was honored by the Prince
wearing upon his Immaculate shirt front set
OF Etruscan gold studs, with cavalry saber
crossed thereon. Loyal subjects will doubt
less appreciate this delicate act Of condescen-
sion, which is SO suggestive of his trooper
career.
The Prince looked in the best of spirits;
health lurked in every wrinkle Of his Royal
Highness' bluff and honest face. Never before
has the striking resemblance our Prince bears
to his grand -mother been SO noticeable.
Throughout the United Kingdom the fact
will be received with infinite rejoicing, that
the complexion Of his Royal Highness still
preserves its clearness, and is not notified
with varicose veins, as has been foully
asserted by the enemy.
The morning which succeeds feasting and
pleasure affects in large measure the spirits
Of those participating therein; our Prince,
we are sorry to announce, was in bad hui
NOR this morning.
His utterances we're short and pithy, and |
The downcast visages of the court evinced
heir sympathy with his Royal Highness.
The court, after grave deliberation, have
decided to change, mat erially, the ordinary
lress Of the Prince; it is their edict that here
lfter the cloth-artist to his Royal Highness be
under terrible penalty, to put
more material in his unmentionables, in orde,

A CORRECTION.
To the Editor Of the N. o. Bulletin:

10 Iue EOlLOr OF the N. w. Dull0tlu
In the copy of my brief published in
Wednesday mornings issue of your paper,
there occurs few Inaccuracies, which also
occur in the brief from which you copied.
1t is stated that the request made of Gen. De
Trobiand to speak few words to the persons
in the lobby was after the General and some
soldiers had entered the room-State- House
should be substituted for Groom" The or
der Of Gen. De Trobiand to Vigers to call
the roll was while Wilt was in the House; it
was Immediately thereafter that the Conserva-
tives withdrew.
On calling the roll upon which Hahn was
elected Speaker, .ffy-t,eo, instead of fifty an
swers were made, it seems. The two Demo-
Gratis who retired with Wilt and who did not
answer the "de novo" call, were added to
meke (54) ffty-four.
The clause with reference to the "yeas
and nays and appeals not being taken,
was not included in the statement attested by
L. A. Wilt, and was inadvertently admitted
in the brief,
The statement was originally made on what
was supposed to be correct information, but
Mr.. Wilt corrected it by stating that "yeas
and nays" were called for, and also appeals
asked, both Of which were ruled out of order
during the temporary organization.

FROM WASHINGTON.
THE FIVE LOUISIANA MARTYRS.
Especial to Cincinnati ENQUIRER.

Especial to Cincinnati Enquirer
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-The Hon. James B.
Beck has received letter from Hon. RanGall
Gibson Congressman elect from Louisiana,
giving the following very clear presentation
of the rights of the five members to their seats
in the Legislature who were elected by the
military force of the United States "The
five members admitted to their seats after
Wilt had been elected temporary Speaker,
and had sworn in all the members whose
names were on the roll furnished by MIR. West,
had not, it is true. been returned by the Re-
turning Board but they had been declared
to have been elected by the careful Commits
sioners Of Election in their parishes. Their
right to their seats was not contested.
Nobody at any time disputed their right to
their seats. The board took no action in the
matter. It simply referred those parishes to
the House Of Representatives as con-
tested parishes or disputed parishes. All the
board could do under the infamous law Great
ing it was to canvass and compile, to reject or
admit certain members. They did not
They declined to act. These five members
were, therefore, in the House, and clearly en-
titled to their seats, which were not contested.
They were not admitted until all the members
on the roll had been sworn in and qualified.
Witt was elected permanent Speaker by fifty
five votes-two having been cast for Hahn,
and one blank, making tifty-eight present, or
two more than quorum.
THE LOUISIANA SUB COMMITTEE,
which returned last night, held a session to-
day, and their report is ready and will be sent
in early in the week. 1t is dead against the
Kellogg Government, and will take the ground
that he was not legally elected Governor of
the State.
THE PROSTITUTION OF THE ARMY.
The Democrats are considering the expe-
diency Of offering an amendment, when the
Military bill shall next come up, providing
against the use of the army in the manner in
which it has been employed in Louisiana by
Grant and Sheridan. The precedent for this
action is found in the amendment offered by
Henry Winter Davis, in 1856, providing that
no portion of the army should be used for GER
tain political purposes in Kansas, which was
voted for by all the Republicans. It is not |
probable that such an amendment would now |
get more than party vote.
RUMORs OF A SUDDEN ADJOURNMENT.
It is predicted tonight that as soon as the |
morning hour is over tomorrow motion to |
adjourn will be made and earned. The Re- |
publicans are much divided in respect to the |
Louisiana question, and, in advance of caucus
action, are afraid to face resolution con-
1emning Grant or Sheridan. On the other
hand, the Democrats are uneasy lest the Civil |
Rights bill may be carried, and will therefore
probably cooperate with their opponents in |
securing an adjournment
