One time during the night, a party of Kay
otah Indians came within brief distance OF
his resting place, and uttered a yell which
made the very grass vibrate through all that
midnight region. They finally went away,
unconscious that there was Congressional
scalp within the reach of their knives At
another time during the night, drove of
stampeded buffaloes swept over the plain; and
it was q matter of doubt, for several minutes,
whether the rushing column would wipe out
the solitary horseman or not The buffaloes,
however, had respect for valuable human life
and Numbered away TO the west without in
fiicting damage.


AT nine o clock next morning, after passing
night of ehilliness, peril and loneliness, Mr.

None OF the recognizing conventions thus
far have ventured to enact TINS fundamental
principle of justice part of the organic law
of the State. Alabama, has to be sure, order
ed the continuance of the arrangement which
already existed between Governor Pars ons
and Gen. Swayne, permitting the testimony
of negroes before the civil courts, undl the
Legislature shdlin,cet. Yesterday stelegfaphic
dispatches, meanwhile announced the triumph
in Mississippi of those candidates in the late
election who were most emphstically opposed
to doing this plain act of justice, and cpnfer-
ring this plain right of.all freedmen up6n the
negro. The Ne,cs, therefore, in saying the
people would repudiate Gov. Sharkey' proc
lamatlon, spoke truly.


All these indications point distinctly enough
to the results that will crowd promptly upon
the removal of martial law in the South. The
Freedmen's Bureau will become instantly
powerless to furnish either assistance OF pro-
lection to the colored people, and will speedi-
" follow the departure of martial law. The
colored schools will disappear like wreath
of yapor in the sun. The enforcement Iof la
Dor contracts will be possible only on onf side.
No legislature in the South will enact the ne
gro testimony law, provided the State can re-
gain its old position in the Union without
such concession. The madness will be GER
tainly perpetrated of attempting TO hold the
entire negro population as permanent out
casts, barbarians and paupers. Practical re-
enslavement, or wild and bloody anarchy, will
be the inevitable consequence of such an at
tempt. A people that cannot tolerate negro
testimony and the pre- emnently humane and
Christianizing operation of the Freedman 8
Bureau, viii not tolerate any efforts on the
part of the negroes to educate or elevate them
selves, nor any efforts to the same end on the
part Of volunteer philanthropy from without
Neither will they tolerate free discussion of
these topics in their midst. But it is just this
state of things which the North will never
tolerate the re-establishment of the late rebel
section. Politicians may plot, and editors
may buster about the intermeddling and the
despotism of a centralized government to the
top of the bent. The loyal people of this
country are not going to be caught again sub
misting to such farce of democraey-such
satire upon liberty and law as the slayehold
ing States have presented hitherto Aside
from al, philantropic considerations. their op-
position on selfish and polite grounds will be
obstinate and unconque7able. They mean TO
have too right of way and liberty of,speech in
the South to the full extent these are enjoyed
in the North. And holding the power now to
provide fer the ample and permanent security
OF these, they Will use it IS long as the neces-
sity constitutes. And they will see TO ii that
the South has full time given her to get healed

who went out hunting with friend and
found an oil spring on his friends farm
He sought to quench his thirst at a spring
they passed, but found it tasted very
strongly of oil. He kept the secret to
himself but suddenly became anxious to
buy the farm. After he had bought it
for 100000 and had announced his in
tention to bore for oil, the former owner
consolingly remarked ;-"My dear fel-
low, the night before you drank out Of
that spring, my hostler went there to
water the horse and by accident broke a
kerosene lamp, which fell into the spring,
and it was the oil from it that you tasted :"
He then concluded he wouldn't bore.

Sweet evening star, sweet evening star,


While thy calm radiance floats afar,
Be mine to tread the shining road,


Paved with thy gold, and seek my God.
While thy soft feath'ry cloudlets stray,


Like focks, along the milky way
And the sweet light is gently rolled


Along the hills in showers of gold
While tree tops wave their silver spray,


And moonbeams in the valleys lay,
Aud beauty wings its angel fight


Along the groves OF summer night;
Let the thoughts mount to Him whose hand
Rolled thro' the heaven their shining ban
And musing praises, turn the while,
To Him whose veil is natures smile.

In the United States Circuit Court,
Judge Field delivered an opinion in the
United States Revenue case. The Tres-
ton Arms Company applied for an iDjunc-
tion against the collector of Internal Reve-
nue.. In order to test thu legality of his
assessment, Judge Field refused to grant
the injunction to restrain the collection
of the revenue tax. He declared he could
not be the first Judge to grant an injunc-
tion in 8 case Of the kind, that the power
TO issue an injunction was always adelicate
and very often a dangerous power, and
that this being particularly so in matters
of taxation, it ought never TO be granted
unless there was clear cause for the ex-
ercise Of the power. It might be of the
most severe consequence at a time like
this, for courts to interfere by injunction
to restrain the United States Assessors and
collectors in the discharge of their duties.
