THE Savannah Recorder now harangues
the Representatives OF the South in Con-
gress in the following emphatic terms, warn
ing them to beware Of the Copperheads of
the North:
We desire to see the Southern Representa-
tives rise to the dignity of the occasion and
throw Off the shackles Of party that is destroy
ing their usefulness, cramping their latent ge-
MUS prostituting their talent, and making
them the subject of by-word and reproach.
We object not to their being solid in right
eous cause, but do strenuously object TO that
solidty being of the trucking kind--pinning
their faith to an exceeding uncertainty. desti-
tutc OF patriotism and love of country
"blind leaders of the blind totally unworthy
Of their fellowship, and in no sense their equals.
Now, If the Recorder will only lecture
such blatherskites from the South MS Cor
DON and BLACKBURN upon their seditous
utterances, in and out of Congress, not for.
getting HILL, CHALMERS, e. Co., all oi
! which has solidiied the North, it will do Q
patriotic and benehcent act toward Tie
South. Hereafter the "Solid North" will
| take care of itself and the Solid South" ms
well.

THE present condition of affairs in Mex
leo is the exact counterpart of what would
have happened in this country if the Greaser
programme had been carried out by the
POTTER Committee in the last Congress.
The recognized head Of that government
finds himselfsurrounded by covert sedition-
lists and overt revolutonists. He Is conse-
Quently compelled to resort to arms to sus-
tain his authority and put the country in a
condition to permit the possibility of an
election of his successor next year. Nor is
this the only similarity between Mexican
and American affairs, for 1t appears that in
some of the Mexican States, as in our South
ern States, the authority of the General
Government is successfully defed by local
military organizations

How wretched BEN HILL must feel, TO be
sure, when he reviews his past public career
in the light of his recent speeches in the
Senate! From thatilluminative standpoint
it appears that he has never been able to
accomplish anything as a statesman or q
public leader, for he declares that every
thing he has been opposed to-secession, for
example-has always succeeded, despite
his opposition. Further, it appears in the
same lights, that when, by force of circum-
stances, he became one of the most vigor-
Gus secessionists in the South, the Confeder-
acy up and failed on his hands, so to speak.
And now he is opposed TO State Rights in
any shape or form; but, as usual, his in
fluence works negatively, for here goes the
Bourbon party day by day in Congress ad'
vancing and asserting the most rabid kind
of State Rights ideas, and coercing this
wretched man into q support of them. Per-
verse fate; pitiable wretch.

AS EWING wouldn't have JoNeEE
THOMPSON to manage his campaign forhim,
and as LEN HARRIS prefers to go to the
pearly waters of the Nipignon River in pur-
suit of trout rather than dabble in the dirty
waters of doubtful campaign, it is now in
timated that Senator DUNCAN, of Ohio, will
become manager of the EWING menagerie
during the coming campaign. THOMPSON
congratulates himself upon his escape from

lost cause, and now it is left for some dense

to that town, where, on Saturday night
last, he found the prisoners and the ham
per, which contained the stolen prop
erty. He then took them into custody,
and, on charging them with the ofense,
the male prisoner said, "My God! this
means run; can we settle it in any way
1t was all my maliciousness; I really in
tended to send it back again" The fe-
male prisoner said: ~ told Mr.. Waldon
we should get into trouble, and begged
him to give it up in Preston, but he put
it into the hamper and sent it to Ley
land" In answer to the Bench, Waldon
said Mis- Weber knew nothing of the
contents of the hamper. They we're re-
manded till Friday, and were then re-
moved in custody.

Eliza Weber Arrested,
Manchester Examiner.1


Yesterday, at the Preston Police Court,
Miss Rachel Mullaly Qda Weber, and
Mr.. Horace Waldon, who have been per-
forming in the drama of "Mazeppa' at
the Theater Royal in that town, were ar
raigned on charge of stealing a saddle,
bride and other trappings of a horse, be-
longing to Captain Wright, from a horse
box on the Lancashire and Yorkshire
Railway. 1t was stated by Mr.. Ogle.
thorpe, Superintendent of Police, that on
May 24th Captain Wright sent horse
and the articles stolen from Manchester
to Wakefield by rail.
When the train arrived at Wakefield
the horse was taken from the box, but
the saddlery was inadvertently left be-
hind. A horse belonging to the pris-
oners was then put into the box and
taken to Preston, where they had an en-
gagement. The articles being missed,
inquiries were instituted, and Detective
McGhee, in the service of the railway
company, went to Preston, where he
found the prisoners at the Theater Royal.
They denied all knowledge of the articles,
and McGhee then sought the assistance
of the Preston police. Detective Wat
son went to No. 10 Jordan street, where
the prisoners were lodging, and having
been told that the male prisoner had
some sadllery in his bedroom, he made
a search therein, but was unable to find
the articles in question.
Subsequently, however, it was ascer-
tanned that the male prisoner had sent
hamper to the Leyland Station for dis
patch TO London, and Mr.. McGhee,
therefore, went to the metropolis, but
found that the hamper had been sent

Milton P. Maxwell, who has been the
chief trainer for several years in Robert
Bonner's stables, in New York, in which
there were 1870 horses, has removed to
Aurora, Ind, where his wife's relatives
reside, and intends to fit up the Law
renceburg Fair Grounds as Trotting
Park. While Maxwell was in Bonner's
employ he had charge of and drove some
of the most celebrated trotters in the
country, or perhaps the world, among
which may be mentioned Dexter, the
king OF the turf in his day, who trotted
a mile in 2;174, and Edwin Forrest, con-
sidered the fastest horse in the world,
who made a public record, since owned
by Bonner, of trotting a mile in 2:14l.
These two horses alone cost over 49,. 900.

A colossal grapevine is growing upon
the farm of Mr.. John Copeland, near
Hagerstown, Wayne County, Indiana
A few feet above the ground it measures
forty-two inches in circumference. This
large trunk grows upward thirty feet,
and separates into two branches, each of
which is eight inches in diameter. The
vine has spread itself over the tops of
two large beech trees which stand near,
and during the grape season the trees
are overloaded with the fruit. A fabu-
lous number of bushels of grapes is said
to hang on the tops of the trees, seventy
feet above ground, quite out of the
reach Of the fruit gatherers.

The new Constitution makes no change
in the obligations of debtors, or the
remedies provided to enforce the rights
of creditors. The trainers of that in
strument acted very foolishly and igno-
rantly upon many clauses of their
instrument, but it was not their purpose
to protect or encourage the reputation
of any public or private debt. The
misapprehension of the Eastern paper
manufacturer must, we imagine, have
arisen from the provision in the new
Constitution providing that, for purposes
of taxation, the tax payer may deduct
from the debts due to him the debts
which he owes to others in this State,
thus discriminating against debts due to
citizens of other States. This is proba-
bly, unconstitutional, and certainI " un-
just and impolitic, but does not diminish
the right Of the Eastern creditor to
collect the debts due him in California.
