COOP LIvISG.-In the last number Of the
Family Pictorial, New York. we notice the
following well deserved compliment to that
most excellent hotel, the Angler:


Next to good reading comes good living.
Perhaps, in the estimation of a majority of
" consumers" good living comes before good
reading. Be that as it may, we are quite
sure we shall confer afavor by directing trav-
elers where to find man who can +" keep a
hotel" Experience is a good
teacher, and a famished traveller quickly
learns to distinguish good hotel from bad
one. In our recent jOurneyings we enjoyed
the accommodations of many good hotel
and endured the miseries of innumerable bad
ones. Hotels have been our residence at
home most of the time these ten years, and
we really like good hotel-a nice house,
nicely furnished, nicely kept in a nice loca-
ton, and filled with nice people.
Private houses are not adapted to the wants
OF boarders. One family is quite enough for
one dwelling. Housekeeping, or the bother
and responsibility of having g house kept


would be bad operation for an editress. A
hotel for US; others may have what they
choose. But whoever travels must eat and
lodge at hotel The best hotel we found
during our recent tour was in the pleasant
city Of Cleveland, Ohio. It is called the


Angler" Everybody who visits Cleveland
should stop at the Angler House, kept by Mr.


Taylor. The proprietor is gentleman who
really knows how to keep hotel. We spent
ioar days at the Angler, and his bill of fare
in many particulars the best we had to order
from during the whole of our tour. The
"R>ilroad Suppers" given at the Angler are
uneuua, led by any in our experience; and
the entire 9. arrangement Of the dining saloon
is unexceptionc The walters are sure to
please you. They have a pleasant way of
doing whatever is rSquired of them quietly
and willingly, without hustle or seeming ef-
fort and yet so promptly end politely that
you are obliged to express thousand thanks.
Endeed, everything about the house is ad-
nirably conducted. From the Office up, every
department is carefully superintended, and
nothing is allowed to 60 amiss. Strangers
seldom fail to express their satisfaction IN
words of praise, when paying their billspre
paratory 20 leaving. Indeed, the Angler
House is so popular that many gentlemen
with through tickets on the railroad going
east or west frequently sop at Cleveland
purposely to get breakfast dinner or a
supper. We heard gentleman who boards
at the La Fargo House, New York, say, the
other day, that the Angler of Cleveland was
! the best house in the Union. The gentleman
has travelled great deal, and his judgment
is good. Our readers may rely upon our sin
4 cerity when we say that Mr.. Taylor, of the
\ Angler HOUSE CLEVELAND Il one of the few
men who can keep 3 hotel. .c-- 81

DIsTURBANCE.-A party of young men VINO
consider themselves belonging to good society,
have been on a "bender" for several days,
and last night two of them went up to the
Light Guard Armory, about half past 9,
while the corps were drilling. Being some
what noisy, officer MeIlrath who was pres
ent, went to them to demonstrate, when one
ofthem, without the slightest cause or provo
cation, struck harmless, inofensive German
boy a blow, which sent him headlong down
the stairs. They then went down them
selves. McIlrath followed them down to
quiet them, and civilly told them to keep
quiet, when the same one struck the officer IL
blow in the face, accompanying it with loud
and angry abuse. McIlrath thought it was
time to take him toward the watch house,
when he made desperate resistance, and
kept up such a volley of oaths and vile Ian
guage at the top OF his voice, that large
crowd speedily gathered, many of them siding
with the offenders against the officers. FL
nally, Mayor Senter heard of the disturbance
and took the young man with him as quiet tly
as possible to the watch house.


The young man was crazy drunk, and SO
not really responsible for the language he
used, but it was his own act that made him
so, and the officer would have neglected his
duty if he had not arrested him. There are
some young men about town who have gone
too far in their liberties. The law should be
no respecter Of persons, and whether the Of
fender be Canal street loafer or an uptown
blosd, let the full penalty be visited upon
them. They make their bed; let them lie in
it. If we were to make an ass and brute Of
ourselves upon the streets, and the officer:
didn't arrest us, we would show them W
when We recovered"


Let this young man consider himself for
tunate that we do not publish his name thi
morning.

furious to the peace and prosperity this doctrine
which has been denominated "squatter sover-
eighty" [Laughter.l


Now let me place it before you in another point
OF view L am very much gratfed that you have
listened to plain speech from an old man with so
much attention. ['Go on % and applause The
Southern States can never give up their principle
of equality in the Union ''never never" and ap-
plause, because if they did, they would be self
degraded in the eyes of the world. They would
stand before their cOuntrymen as inferior to the
people of their sister States. They never can sur.
render it. But how is it with the Northern peo-
pie? 1t is with them comparatively a mere alb.
straction. With the South it is of infinite import
ance that they should preserve their equal sover-
eighty in the Union. What has the South to do ?
Merely to say that good and honest citizens they
will yield obedience to the Supreme Court, and
thus admit the right of a Southern man to take
his property into the Territories just as a Northern
man may do. And it is to me a most eXtraordiua-
ry thing that this country should now be distract
ed and divided because certain persons of the
North will not agree that their brethren in the
South shall have the same rights in all the Terri
tories which they of the North enjoy.


What could a Pennsylvania saw or do. il
some one were to contend that the Territorial
Legislature of any Territory should exclude nv
cattle from that Territory? The principle is ex-
actly the same, and the Supreme Court of the Uni.
ted States decided-what was known to us all to be
the existing state of affairs for so yearshat slaves
are property. Admit that fact and you admit
everything. Then that property in the Territories
must be protected in precisely the same manner as
any other property would be. If it be not protect
ed in the Territories in the manner, the own
ers are degraded before the world. [Applause.l


But we have "non-intervention." Non -interven-
ton, it is said, is the true policy. That is the let
lone" policy-let things go their own way. What
is this non-intervention Perfectly right. We all
admit that the Congress of the United States has no
authority whatever to establish, to impair, or to
abolish the right of master slaves in the Terri
tories, or the right of owner of any other prop
erty. All very well. But that is one sided non
intervention. Carry the Intervention out as the
Constitution does, to the territorial legislature and
admit that they have right, no power no au-
shority, to abolish, or establish, impair slavery
within their limits Bat that would not do.


That is all at present that anybody need want
''hands OFF, by Congress, ''hands OFF, by the ter
ritorial legislature. [Applause.l Suffer the Con-
sutulon and the laws to be executed by the Federal
Judiciary in the Territory without interference from
Congress, and without interference from the terri
torial legislature That is all that is necessary at
present No one has asked for more. But, if non
Intervention did not extend to the territorial legs-
