that resistance would be made In Boston to
the seizure and return to his master OF a
fugitive slave, troops there stationed were
employed to enforce tho masters right under
the Constitution, and troops stationed at New
York were ordered to be in readiness to go to
Boston il it should prove to be necessary. In
1859, when John Brown, with small number
Of men, made his attack upon Harper's Ferry,
the President ordered United States troops to
assist in the apprehension and suppression Of
him and his party. without formal call of the
Legislature or Governor OF Virginia, and with
out proclamation Of the President.
Without mentioning further instances in
which the executive has exercised his powers
as commander Of the army and navy to pre-
vent or suppress resistance to the laws Of the
United States, or where he has exercised like
authority in obedience to q call from State
to suppress instruction, I desire to assure
both Congress and the country that it has
been my purpose to administer the executive
powers Of the Government fairly, and in no
instance to disregard or transcend the limits
of the Constitution. (Signed)

How Senator Nye Vanquished Chas
Sumner.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
The following story illustrates the
wit and common sense of the late ex-
Senator Nye, of Nevada:
The question under debate was bill
to admit the Chinese to equal priv
ileges of citizenship, and Mr.. Sumner
had the floor. Itis speech was, as
usual, elaborate, studied, and classical,
his periods rounded, and his arguments
fully up to the standard of the Massa-
chusetts statesman and scholar. His
appeal for the children of the Flowery
Kingdom was earnest, and when Mr..
Sumner concluded, it was evident he
had made an impression upon the SEN
ate. At this juncture, so soon as Mr..
Sumner had taken his seat, Mr.. Nye
sprang to his feet, was recognized by
Colfax, President of the Senate, and
spoke somewhat as follows:
Mr.. President-I was born in the
good old county of Steuben, in New
York state, and raised upon farm.
My parents were hard working,
thrifty people, fearing God and per-
forming their duties with a good
conscience. We had morning and
evening prayers, in which was always
offered an APP zeal to the Almighty for
the freedom of the slave. MY good
mother, God bless her, was q careful
housewife, and among other standard
American delicacies, doughnuts were
always provided. We all liked dough-
nuts, and l think the American farm
boy that don't like doughnuts is hardly
to be found. l often watched my
mother when she made the dough, and
kneaded and shortened it until it was
in fit condition. Mr.. President, the re-
suit of my observation was that she
always took small piece of the dough
and fried it in the fat before she risked
tho whole batch! She tried it first and
awaited results. l have listened to the
eloquent speech of my friend from
Massachusetts on the Chinese question.
| live on the Pacific coast and know
the Chinese better practically than any
one can know them theoretically. They
have nothing in common with us.
They save their earnings, and then re.
turn, pigtail and all, to the
Flowery Kingdom. You cannot
make a citizen of man
who will not sacrifice s.pigtail We
have enfranchised the blacks they are
now free and citizens, and I am con-
tent Then turning to Mr.. Sumner,
he resumed:
My friend from Massachusetts, ha
made an exhaustive and able argu-
ment, but | suggest to him it is far
safer and better to follow my good
mothers example, and fry little piece
of this suffrage dough before we risk
the whole Chinese batch p
The effect of this speech was mar
Vicious. Mr. Sumner leaned back in
his chair laughing I'm til tears ran down
his cheeks, the Senate and galleries
joining. His labor ed argument had
been demolished at one fell blow by
the doughnut smile. Doughnuts and
the sacred rights of citizenship COM
bined were too much for him. He
could neither retort nor explain, and
the consequence was, the bill failed
through the homely argument of the
doughnut in the hands of Nye.

On the death of one of England's

The PrOdigaI.

Inheritors of vast wealth are proverb;sllv
spendthrifts. The golden ore is dno fro,,
the mine, refined and coined, by the labor
of other hands and the sweat of othsr
brows. Like children playing with an er-
pensive toy, they can form no inst estima to
of its value. When the donor weighed r.
he cast into the balance so MANY DAYS 81
unremitting and fatiguing toll. so manv
anxious and sleepless nights; so much self.
denial, and so much care. But the inheritor
into his balance throws only-pleasure. The
for what it will purchase. Like the prodi-
gal in the Scripture parable, he Thought.
lessly expends it to crafty the caprice and
cravings of his nature. Then comes the
last scene-the misery, the remorse, and the
long and wearis0ma journey back tn the
home of frugal industry. But there are
other prodigals. On her fayorites onr
bounteous parent, Nature, has lavished her
richest treasure-health. But the prodigal
values it lightly, for it costs him naue6t
and recklessly squanders it in riotous living.
Present pleasure obscures future want
Soon the curtain rises on the last scene
We see him helpless, impoverished-the
rich treasures of body and mind all lost
in misery and despair. Remorseful Con-
science holds up to him the mirror of men,
DRY. In his own reckless folly he perceives
the cause of his present pain. He resolves
to return. The journey is long and tedious,
but if he perseveringly follows the right
road, he will at length see the haven of
his hopes in the distance, and Nature, see
ing her invalid child afar off, will come out
to meet him, and receive him with love and
blessing. To find the right road homeward,
the suffering prodigal should read 'The
