"But this is a nation, therefore the

"What ever recognition the form

national menace,
therefore, States, as such must
disappear from the nation and the

"The National Senate must either
be abolished or transformed.
"The Senate is indefinitely more
dangerous to our national existence

"The Senate is a tangible concern,

States and States sovereignty.
So long as it exists in the present

PAINFUL AcoIDENT.-0n Tuesday
evening, while Mr., NJ. Wood was
laying the platform of the pulpit OF
the Methodist church here, he tripp-
ed and fell across one Of the sleepers
of the floor striking on his side.
The distance he fell was but short,
but was sufficient TO break twoof his
ribs and otherwise severely inlure
himself. DR.. Barksdale was called
in and rendered the necessary sur
gical assistance. Mr.. Wood was
taken to his home, where he has been
ever since, unable to get about. He
suffers very much. He was the con-
tractor for building the church. al

The Little Rock arkansas Senti-
mel has got all the rebellion it wants,
and is Of the opinion that the whole
South has also. If it comes again it
will come either from New England,
where the idea first originated, or
from the Pacific coast. The South
has had enough of that business to
last her for at least three generations.
She would be very keen, however, to
take hand in REFRESHING any move
ment Of that kind that might come
from any quarter" This is a good
sentiment for the stalwart papers of
the North to sandwich in between
their quotations from the Okalona
States. But they will not do it.

far from losing any of its ancient
vigor, it seems to be slowly gaining
in strength and influence, and the
dominic found many things in the
habits and character Of the people
to commend, particularly their thrift
and temperance. The recent convic-
ton of u prominent Mormon for
polygamy is having some effect in
stopping the practice. which, will
not be entirely dissipated by the way
in which the Washington authori-
ties have toned down his punish

Abusing the Lawyers.

The Grafton Sentinel gives utter
ance to the following sensible re-
marks: at does seem to us that this
continual abuse of the lawyers is both
foolish and unreasonable. We do
not know that it is necessary or
worth our while to go into a defense
of the legal profession, but this eter-
nal attempt at arraying the people
against certain classes or professions
is SO un-American in its character
that we feel like entering a mild pro-
test against the practice. Certain
gentlemen in the last West Virginia
Legislature endeavored to acquire
fame by making a ceaseless fight
against the lawyers. And now GER
tain newspapers of the State are try
ing to gain for themselves q reputa-
ton in the same line. This is not
republicanism. 1t is Kearneyism,
pure and unadulterated. Are the
lawyers the enemies of the people?
If they arc why do the people sup,
port them? 1t seems to us that it is
the peoples fault that we have law
yers and if they are such a curse to
community why don't the people
learn to do without them?"
