noon from the top floor Of that high

Of five stories. through the hstchway.
He had gone 10 the hatch with the last
stereotype plate in his arms to send il
down The gas had been turned OF

il seems, but that the elevator platform
was up. By habit. knowing it ought 10

was frightful fall, down past four
landings, until he struck on the plat

To be- stripped. and made careful rN-
animation Of him He could not find
that there was single bone hrok-

tested his lungs and the action of his
heart. and could not find that there was
any serious internal injury. Carney
was bruised little and was weak and
that was all. His escape seemed miracu-
lous. OF course, his condition to-day
may show unfayorablc symptoms. Scri-

Of representative "a Congress and the

can no longer command their fair
allotment of these advantages. When
No shali appeal to the Rspuhlican party
on behalf of ourselves and our sonstitu,
ents not to visit upon this whole people
the punishment due to the insane and un-
princtpled politicians who have renewed
the discord Of other times, We shall per-
haps be answered: "We have trusted the
pledges Of these politicians; We have
granted them restoration of rights and
estates; We have found that they are
bound by no promise and respect no
kindness. We will not again commit this
Union to the possibilities Of &reachery I'M
til " shall have in the future guarantees
against its repetition. We are memorable
in our determination that this conspiracy
to yeinstate the Confederacy shall be
broken up."
When We may be called on, sworn, to
record the result of this determination,
We shall expect the State rights Dsmoc-
racy to protest against this alleged in
vasion. We then fear that when the RAdi-
cal Republicans proceed to the execution
Of the programme, they will point to the
Democratic order of Congress to seize the
sworn officers Of . State, and drag them
before the bar to answer for the deeds
done in their capacity as State officers,
as an act Of abnegation and remuneration
of State rights by the Democracy them
selves, and add to the legitimate deduc-
tions Of national sovereignty the release
Of al objection on the part Of those who
claim to be the particular guardians of
State rights.

STABBED m THE HOUSE OF THEIR
..-. FRIENDH.

When we look at the ragged and dilap-
idated banner Of State rights We can not
recognize in the emblems of those who
now bear it one of those noble insignia
which once entitled it to the respect of
those who differed from its theory and
application This violation Of theory is
obvious n the bold stand taken by the
Federal Congress, that that body pos
sesses such jurisdiction over the acts of
State officers IS to justify it in summon
ing these officers and making them dis
close the reason Of their acts; that Con-
gress may observe whether they have per-
formed their sworn duties to the State
and their State constituency. As Re
publicans We might consider this abject
reduction Of sovereign State into pro-
vincial appansge of the Federal govern
ment as q triumph Of the numerical ma
tionality for which the Republican party
has contended. We regret to see that
neither the Governor Of Carolina nor the
Returning Board of Louisiana are to have
any respite from the persecution to which
they have been subjected by their partisan
enemies, but we do not doubt they will
survive oil such unjust encroachments,
even upon their municipal rights as cor
poration. It is to this condition that the
State rights Democracy Of the North have
degraded the once proud .s6vereignties
who defed the Federal government. And
why has this indignity been inflicted
upon them? Solely that the I'M
principled sporters Of New York may
grail the Federal government, its
patronage and its powers. It is an
concession that the Democratic
politicians Of New Orleans have made to
the INSCRIPTIONS grabbers Of the Tam
many ring. There was boundary Of re.
spect for the States which the Republican
party has never wished to pass. Itwould
have left their own, political autonomy
The New York spoil grab
bers have passed that boundary. Were
Thaddeus Stevens now alive, he would
find in the Democratic committees dis
patched to drag State officers before the
bar Of Congress the realization of his
widest foundations of State preten-
sions. We have warned the Conserve
lives of the South against these unworthy
and unnecessary concessions of their
Northern allies. We warn them that in
The regained ascendency Of the Re-
publicans in every branch Of the
Federal government there may be de-
to regain and cancel the pow
srs of sectional conspiracy conferred by
general amnesty. To dislocate and de-
'troy the secret treaty between the North
srn and Confederate Democracy, Congress
nay deprive the Southern States Of the con-
yressional and electoral representation of
hose colored Republicans, who have been
lenied and abridged Of their right Of
ree-will suffrage. To this reduction Of
southern representation we are opposed.

No Nonsense.

We wish to give little good advice to the
democrats They have great deal at stake
just now; but very little imprudence or
impatience may spoil all their hopes.
Though the country has given them con-
siderable and perhaps a predominant
vote in the election, they must not
forget that it has done 80 with mis-
givings and doubts, and less because
it believes in them than because it has got
tired Of republican mismanagement. It
keeps its eyes on the democrats and is very
ready, extremely ready, to resent the least
misconduct on their part.
We advise them, too, to remember that Of
the large popular vote which they have OBJ
tanned in the election only an insignificant
proportion was cast by the Northern States.
They have majorities in only four cut OF
twenty-five Northern States and this shows
how far they are from having established
themselves in the confidence of the North.
If they are wise they will not impair this
confidence by any misconduct, by rash Ian
guage, or by needless and indecent mis-
trust They may be assured that the coun-
try has not forgotten that on the democratic
party rests the guilt of the rebellion; that
