STRONG SENSE OF THE LUDICRoUS.
The owing story is told as a
remarkable instance of the appre
citation of humor: \ German soldier
was ordered to receive fifteen lashes
for some alleged act of insubordina-
ton. Fritz, disciplined to silence,
was fixed TO triangles in the pres
ence OF his company. When the
first lashes fell upon his naked shout
ders, the worthy fellow, instead of
displaying evidences of distress,
burst into a fit of uncomfortable
laughter. The executioner, regard
ing this manifestation as by no
means complimentary to his skill,
laid on with redoubled ardor but
the more he laid on the more Fritz
laughed. When cut down he still
found great difficulty in restraining
his mirth, and INDUCED in loud, in
termittent outlaws. The officer in
command of the company, with a Gu,
riosity naturally excited, approached
the bleeding .wretch and inquired
the cause OF his mirth. "Why," re-
piled Fritz, breaking into fresh fit

INCENDGARIsM. The New Orleans
Times of Sunday last contains &C
counts of the burning OF cotton gins
and stealing of cotton from the fields
by incendiarism and thieves, which,
unless it is stopped by the authori-
ties, must lead to the most serious
consequences, perhaps reprisal and
retaliation. The Times says that
planters in the section of Louisiana
alluded to complain that they cannot
secure labor sufficient to pick their
cotton, but that the negroes idle
away the day without working, and
when night comes 60 to the fields,
pick as much as they can carry
away in sacks, and take it to their
underground depots or stores, where
they trade it for whisky or gewgaws
and continue their raids on the fields
as often as they wish, but refuse to
work for the planters, several OF
whom are now in New Orleans en-
deavoring to secure labor. This is
a new evil that must be suppressed
promptly, an evil that is directly
traceabIe to the influence Of the car
pet Dagger and scalawag.

THE CENSUS.

By authority of an enactment OF the
last Legislature, assessors in this State
are required to take the census of their
respective counties during the present
year. In accordance with the terms OF
the constitution this enumeration of
the inhabitants Of the several counties
must form the basis OF representation
in the Legislature. 1t is therefore
highly important that the closest
enumeration possible be made. Eureka
has all along been placed at great dis
advantage in the Legislature by rea-
son OF her small delegation. 1t is true
that under the new apportionment
made last Winter she will have six
members in the next Legislature, and
it is also equally true that she will
stand a good show to lose a portion OF
these after that session unless we can
show by the census that we are justly
entitled to retain them. So, as above
remarked, it behooves us to make as
good a showing as we are capable Of
making. Not a man woman, or child
in the county should be overlooked.
The Assessor is allowed but the miser-
able pittance of 81 per diem for the
performance of this additional service,
and it can hardly be expected of him
that he will make as thorough a can-
vass as the necessities of the case re-
quire, considering the begyarly COM
pensation allowed him; but it is within
the power of the people themselves,
those who are directly interested, to
assist materially in this important
work. 1t will cost those who may
possibly not be called upon by the AS
SCISSOR but little trouble to report their
names, age, occupation. etc., direct to
the office of that worthy official in this
place. Let this be done in every case,
and no fears need be entertained that
we will not roll up as large a popula-
ton as any county in the State, Storey
alone excepted; and instead of losing
representation we will be very likely
to gain by the a%pportionment which
will, be made strictly in conformity
with the census now being taken
throughout the State.

A CONFLICT OF OPINION.

Two more United States Judges have
pronounced upon the Civil Rights act.
Judge Brooks, of the United States
Court at Wilmington, North Carolina,
in charging the Grand Jury, stated
that the act in it's criminal aspect,
which was the only shape in which it
could come before the jury, was un-
constitutional and void. On the other
hand Judge Moreiles, of the United
States District Court for Eastern Texas,
in charging his Grand Jury, expressed
the opinion that, under the act, all
persons have a legal right to board and
lodging at inns, transportation in pub
lie conveyances, and entrance into
theaters, but that, under it, no n ac-
quired any social right. By this the
Judge seemed to mean that hotel pro-
p~rietors, conductors on railway trains,
and managers of theaters, while com.
PEELED to give accommodation to all
applicants, might bestow their custom
ers according to their own ideas of the
eternal flness of things. The views
taken by these two Judges are rather
conflicting, and they are far from be-
ing in harmony with other judicial and
legal opinions that have been pro-
nounced with regard to the Civil
Rights act, so that just at the present
juncture it is difficult to understand
exactly what the action does means
and how far it is worth anything to
the colored people whs claim that they
are unjustly deprived of many of their
rights. The importance of having the
constitutionality of the law passed
upon by the Supreme Court at an early
day is apparent to every one. 1t is
true it is a matter of but little impor-
lance upon this coast and in most
of the Northern States, but in
portions of the South where the colored
population nearly equals and in some
cases exceeds the white, it is important
that the legality of a statute designing
the regulation of the social relations
of the two colors should be decided
and the extent of its application un-
derstood; and yet the prospect of get
ting a speedy decision from that tri-
bunal, in event of a ease being made
up for it to act upon, is not very
promising. The Supreme Court a
short time ago adjourned with
out rendering any decision on
the Louisiana and Kentucky En-
forcement act cases, and it will
be many months nov before the
Court can express its opinion, even if
it desires to act with promptness. In
the mean time, two laws will remain
upon the statute books which every
body knows were passed with the sin
gle idea Of enabling certain political
adventures to make capital for them
selves, and about the constitutionality
of which the gravest doubts exist. We
are happy in the belief, however,
that the day for this kind of legisla-
ton is pretty well over, and that the
peculiar theories of government which
were the ~outgrowths of the exigen-
cies of wal times will be succeeded by
others more in accordance with the
true principles of republicanism, and
better adapted for the accomplishment
of permanently beneficial results.
