Why do,the secesh and Copperheads hold
on to slavery SO tenaciously in Kentucky.
Slavery is abolished everywhere in the United
States except in Delaware and Kentucky
They are surrounded by free States on all
sides, and there is no longer any fugitive slave
law to convert the citizens of the free States
into bloodhounds for shareholders. Then the
reason back of all this is simply that the Ken
lucky shareholders hope that the Northern
Copperheads and secesh shareholders will get
control of the government and re-estabhsh
slavery. And for the same reason it is that
Northern Copperhead Legislatures like that
of New Jersey refuse to pass the Emancipa-
ton Amendment.

The Supreme Court of Wisconsin has
decided that the law of Congress re-
quiring stamps on legal process, in the
beginning or other stage of suit, is un,
constitutional, and therefore void, and
that the stamps on legal papers are not
necessary. The ground ofthe decision is
that the imposition of a tax upon any
proceedings in State Court is an lnva-
sion of the right of State to regulate
proceedings in its own Court; that If Con
gress can tax these proceedings at all, it
can lay a tax that will practically amount
to prohibition, and thus legislato the

Does the constitution then delegate to the
States exclusive power over the elective fran
chiseP If there is any such delegation of pow
er to the States it is contained in the second or
fourth sections Of the first article of the consli-
tuition. The second section reads as follows
"The electors in each State shall have the qua
ihcations requisite for electors of the numerous
branch of the State legislature" This only
settles the question that the laws OF suffrage for
representatives to Congress and to the State
legislatures shall be uniform. 1t does not de-
termine by whom these laws shall be made.
The fourth section reads The times, places,
and manner Of holding elections for senators
and representatives shall be prescribed in each
State by the Legislature thereof, but the Con
gress may at any time by law make or alter
such regulations" Here the existence of the
reserved power Of Congress over the whole sub
ject is distinctly recognized The obvious de.
sign and import of the language employed is
TINS: In the absence Of any legislation on the
part OF Congress the States the nselves shall
regulate the elective franchise. But If circum.
stances ever arise demanding the interference OF
congress in order to realize the great ends for
which the constitution was framed, or carry out
its provisions the reserved right is in its hands
it may by law make or alter any regulations
Of the local Legislatures, and to its decision the
States must bow as the paramount law.


This power we now invoke. Let Congres,
then, at its next session. meet this question
boldly and assume the grave responSibilite,
which the constitution imposes upon it. Let
members not be satisfied with any temporar,
expedients to meet the present emergenc,

BAD INsTRU cTToN.-At a negro suf-
frage meeting held yesterday in Brook
lyn, a colored preacher, Rev. H. H. Cain,
is thus reported


In the South there will, however, be
another revolution yet. There is deep
under-Current of feeling running among
the slaves, and they feel this-that they
have been in bondage too long. All
they ask is simply the right to live and
have the protection Of the laws as other
men have. Unless the government will
give the slaves the right of franchise,
there will be trouble. Loud cries of
Yes. Take away the right of fran
chise from the black man, and there will
yet come the darkest period in our his
tory in the Southern States. The white
men down there will rise up some OF
these mornings and fnd-I was going
taNsay it. Laughter You know what

These people probably do not know
that this continued laughter was
very much out of place, and that this
colored religious instructor of theirs
was doing the cause which they have at
heart all the injury in his power. The
Government and Congress will act as
may be deemed best for the interest of
both races in the reorganization Of
States, irrespective of all threats whe-
ther they come from black or white peo-
Pile. And the government let us assure

make q summary end of those who even
threaten the revival of social or polite

the contrary. Very few young men

WASHINGTON ALLsToN. Soon after
Allston's marriage with his first wife,
the sister of the late DR.. Charming, he
made his second visit to Europe. After
a residence there Of little more than
a year, his pecuniary wants became
very pressing and urgent-more so than
at any other period Of his life. On one
Of these occasions, as he himself used to
narrate the event, he was in his studio,
rejecting with feeling of almost des-

science seemed to tell him he had de-
served his Affections, and drawn them

tude for past favors from heaven. His
heart, all at once, seemed filled with the
hope that God would listen to his pray
ers, If he would offer up his direct ex-


pressions Of penitence and ask for divine
aid. He accordingly locked his door,
withdrew to a corner of the room, threw
himself upon his knees, and prayed for
a loaf of bread for himself and wife.
While thus employed, he heard knock
at the door. 4 feeling of momentary
shame at being detected in this position,

The PRICE OF CoPPERBBADs.-Itc came
out in the trial Of the assassins at WASH
ington, on Friday, that in one instance
at least the Hon. Benjamin Wood of New
York, editor of the New York News,
and member of congress from New
York city, received $4,000 from the On
tario bank of Canada. There is no at
tempt to deny that the money really
came from Jake Thompson, the chief
rebel agent in Canada, and it requires no
stretch of the Imagination to suppose
that the money was to pay Wood for
using his paper in the interest of the
rebels. This testimony is chiefly inter-
esting as showing how much was paid
by the rebels for first class copperhead.
We do not suppose the rebels have paid
all the copperheads in the North so lib
orally as that, and probably good
many were not paid at all, but worked
in the rebel interest out of "pure GUS
sedness." But Wood was worth this
sum to the rebels. 1t cannot be denied
that he did his work well, and as long
as they had any, we presume the rebels
didn't begrudge the money. But now
that we know the precise price of Wood.
it becomes an interesting question how
much copperheads of lesser note were
paid men who were not members Of
Congress, and had less influence than
Ben Wood, was supposed to have. How
much, for instance, was paid for the
Boston Courier or the Chicago Times ?
These papers worked good deal cheaper
than Wood and his News, we have no
doubt; still it would be interesting to
know the exact amount of their wages,
and we hope the Investigation at Wash
ington will go on till we have all the
facts.-Springfeld Republican. ........-

THE UNsPEAKABLE WoRn.-It is evi-
dent that there is one word which hence.
forth no public man will dare to pro-
nounce in America, unless he does so for
the purpose of execrating that which it
characterizes-we refer to the word re-
1ldiation. Mr.. Wendell Phillips was
thoughtless enough to speak the word
lalely, and the storm of execration was
so tremendous and universal, that even
he was compelled to wriggle himself
outsidge of what he had said.


There is lesson and warning here
to all politicians and to all parties.
which they will do well to heed, and
which they are very likely to heed. No
man or party dare put out a suggestion
of National dishonor when all men and
parties in the nation are interested in
sustaining its honor. The sensitiveness
of the people on this matter is very in
tense, as Wendall Phillips must know.
