MARSHAL Won MoITKE is an early
riser and loves early risers. Not long
ago, while roaming about his estate in
Silesia at daybreak, he was pleased to
find peasant woman who had just un-
earthed, and was bearing away bag of
potatoes that would have proved load
for lusty mule. With kind word for
her industry and promptness the old
soldier gave her a thaler, and subse-
quently discovered that she was night
thief who had ravaged his fields persist

been able to capture.

Editorial Amenities.

There is an ink famine in Cincinnati,
and the editors have filed their horns
with oil of vitriol. The Commercial
has offered to take the ShsrifFs printing
for less than he wishes to pay the En-
g,sirer. Whereupon the Enquirer init
mates that Mr.. Halstead is "a consum-
mate liar" "a constituencies, unprinci-
pied, low-ived, beefy, bringing, fawning,
merchantable self-seeker - ga man
without a FRIEND" ga filthy black
guard" "a NANCY dog" ga poor, in
firm, weak, and despised old man, E" and
ga thief" The Commercial playfully
retorts that est is melancholy to behold
a oorn-fed child of nature losing the fine
curvatures of youth while still in the
twenties." The Gazette comes to the
rescue of the young proprietor of the
Enquirer, by remarking that Mr.. Hal
stead has found "what he has not be
fore encountered, one who will come
down to his own level in personal jour
nalism, and use his own weapons upon
him." The newspaper readers of Gin
cinnati are getting their moneys worth
nowadays, and are saved the trouble of
buying police or sporting paper on
Sunday.-NeeO York Tribune:

These 323 900 voters lived in the States
named when the last census was taken. They
voted the Republican ticket in 1872 and at pre-
vious elections They are black men, and they
have not emigrated. If allowed to vote as they
desired, they would have cast their ballots for
Hayes and Wheeler, but they did not vote. If
there was no intimidation-no violence in the
cotton States-what has become of them ?
Where have they gone? Who has suppressed
their votes? Let the Democrats OF the South
answer these questions, and it is impossible
that their brethren in the North will not boast
80 loudly about 'the popular majority for

In very determined effort to overthrow the

stand in the way Of q just equal and peaceful
measure for extrlcatlng the question from the
endorsements that at present surround it.
In consclusion, we respectfully beg leave to
impress upon Congress the necessity OF speedy
determination upon this subject. 1t is impos-
sible to estimate the material loss the country
daily sustains from the existing state OF uncer-
tainty. 1t directly and powerfully tends to
unstttle and paralyze business. to weaken
public and private credit, and to create appre-
tensions in the minds OF the people that dis
turb the peaceful tenor of their ways and hap
piness. 1t tends to bring republican institu-
tons into discredit, and to create doubts Of the
success OF our form Of government, and Of the
perpetuity of the republic. ALI considerations
of interest, of patriotism, and of justice unite
| in demanding of the law-making powera meas
ure that will bring peace and prosperity to the
country, and show that our republican institu-
| TORS are equal to any emergency and in this
| connection we cannot refrain from the express
sion of our satisfaction that your committees,
composed Of equal numbers of opposing par
ties, have fortunately been able to do what has
| been attempted in vain observation-disclosures un-
animously agree upon plan considered by
| them all to be just wise, and efficient. We
! accordingly recommend the proposed act to the
patriotic and just Judgment Of Congress.
