mans in Ireland created considerable

SENATOR WADE IN 1S6O.-In a speech
delivered in the U. S. Senate during the
early part ofthe session Of 1S6O-'6l,
Senator Wade said, with reference to
the Southern States:


81 am not one of those who would
ask them to continue in such Union.
1t would be doing violence to the plat
form of the party to which l belong
We have adopted the old declaration
of independence as the basis of our
political movements, which declares
that men, when their Government
ceases to protect their rights, when it
is so subverted from the true purposes
of government as to oppose them, have
the right to recur to fundamental prin-
ciples, and, if need be, to destroy the
Government under which they live, and
to erect on it's ruins another more con,
ducive to their welfare. l hold that
they have this right whenever they
think the contingency has come.
You cannot forcibly hold men in this
Union, for the attemptt to do so, it seems
to me, would subvert the first princi
pies of the Government under which
we live.

cordance thereto. But candor com
pels us to say, that those kindller feel
of the heart can never be restored as
long as the Southern people are held
up in the halls of the National Legis-
lature as traitors, as felons and as un-
worthy of all respect or confidence


We can never lore the people who do IT.
Il is not in human nature to do so.


The whole question of restoration Is
in the hands of the people North. If
they will meet us in their approaching
fall elections in q spirit Of kindness by
electing conservative men to Congress,
and displacing the Radicals now in
power, they will meet hearty re,
sponse from every nook and corner OF
the South and fraternity of feeling
will be established that will cement the
bonds Of the Union with the cohesion
of confidence and mutual respect be-

A proposition of Il novel and some
what striking character is pending be-
fore the New Orleans City Coumcil-a
plan to build around the entire city
or that portion not fronting on the
river-an embankmcnt wide enough
for two railway lines and carriage
drive. Such a work seems enormous
as the erection of the pyramids or the
tower of Babel; but it can be done, and
it is believed that not the least of the
benefits that would result from it would
be the greatly increased facilities for
drainage its deep bitches would afford,
and the consequent reclamation OF
waste lands, to say nothing of the en-
HANGED value of property in the sub
urbs. The scheme has been quietly
under consideration for some time, and
if adopted by the Council, an appeal
will be made to the State Legislature
for an appropriation to aid in carrying
it out.

IT is stated that Judge Thomas, of
the Virginia Circuit Court, who recent
ly refused to admit the testimony OF a
negro in case where colorcd men
were not concerned, on the ground
that he must be governed by the law Of
the State, was indicted by the United
States Grand jury at the recent session
of Judge Underwood Court, at Rich,
mond, under Civil Rights law.

ments to the Constitution II Is declared
that Gin all criminal prosecutions the ac-
cused shall enjoy the right of speedy and
public trial by On impartial jury OF the
State and district wherein the crime snail
have been committed.


VI. That the consequence Of these prin-
ciples and constitutional provisions is that
the courts Of the United States cannot try
felony committed on the land In the
time Of peace, and therefore no military
court can, unless the offender be in the
land or naval forces, or in the militia In
actual service and such trials can take
place only in the State courts and by
Jury. See Mlligan's case in the Supreme
Court of the United States.


VII. That the Freedmen's Bureau bill
and the Civil Rights bill do not, nor
does either of them, change the rights
of the accused or the powers OF the
Government in criminal cases: First,
because Congress had no power to change
them, having no right to alter or violate
the Constitution. Secondly, because they
do not profess to effect such change, but
relate entirely to civil proceedings and
rights of living freedmen or criminal
cases in which live freedmen have beSi
denied Justice and fair trial, and do not
profess to govern the trial of white men
for the benefit of dead freedmen. Fourthiy,
because at the most the jurisdiction con.
ferred by one or both of them Is concur
rent. and not exclusive, and the settled
rule in such cases in the courts OF the
United States is that the court first taking
jurisdiction shall hold it to the conclusion
OF the case.


VIII. Because the authority of the State
court which acquitted your petitioner was
as complete as that of any court can be,
and if it may be reviewed by military
commander, so may the decision of any
other court in this State or any other State !;
and "chaos has come again." and the State
governments are overthrown; for there can
be no civil government without a Judiciary.


Your petitioner therefore asks that he
may be forthwith discharged.

A dispatch from Brest, in announcing the sailing of the French fleet to take pos session of Venice, says: ''The general opin- ion is that France will receive Sardinia in exchange for Venetia, and will either give that island to the Pope or keep it herself"

 The Pope is unquestionably at the dis position of France, so far at least as his temporal fortunes are concerned An order from NAPOLEON for his troops to evacuate Rome makes the Pope an exile instantly an exile unless he chooses to stay in Rome, subject of VICTOR EMMANUEL. The Pope's own army could not master even the people under his own rule, let alone the powerful anti-Papal element in Italy, whose deepest desire is his overthrow, and who would proceed to carry out their purpose at once were the French army out of the way. It hardly seems possible for the Pope to retain his ancient power in Italy after the entire country, excepting Rome, is under the Italian King. And it is one of the least likely things in the world that LouIs NAPOLEON, after playing the proud part he has done in building up the Italian Kingdom, will undertake to keep him there. It seems clearer now than ever it was that the temporal power of the Papacy is about to pass away.

 The project of offering the Pope the island of Sardinia in exchange for Rome has been often broached before It never seemed so feasible project as it does now. VICTOR EMMANUEL will be only too glad to let Sardinia go to him who gives him the great gift of Venetia; and though it would be in accordance with NAPOLEON s antecedents to keep all he can get, yet now he has an opportunity of strengthening himself more than he could do by annexing Sardinia to France. He finds the Pope cmbroiled in troubles, which are even now great enough, but which must soon be greatly increased, and the Emperor offers the Holy Father a relief from all his per plexities by removing to Sardinia, where he can still retain patrimony worthy of his office as the chief of Catholic Christen- dom, and can dwell safely under the guar dianship of the "Eldest Son of the Church" " Napoleon can thus bind to him the King dom of Italy, secure the glory of being Protector of the Pope, and strengthen greatly the power of his dynasty in France.

 It will be memorable historical day when the Pope leaves Rome, where so many popos have reigned with supreme spiritual and with more than imperial werl- dly power. No place can ever be for the Papacy what Rome has been--Rome, the city of the Caesars and the Popcs.

The Jacksonport Era, after temporary suspension, has again resumed publication with very fattering prospects. Indeed the number before us is well filled with inter- esting original articles, three of which with but little variation, first appeared in the Citizen. Now, we are not at all op- posed to the editorial posish, but then what we do, we want credit for 1t, and at present, would prefer to edit one paper only. Friend Era our paper is at yonr service, and we are always pleased to sec it copied from, provided the proper credit is given. Then too we would advise you to make no more changes, as in our judgment you spoil our articles by your. substitution of words, especially our Latin, of which we arc so proud-you spoil that entirely, Next time publish them just as they are written, wont you? we won't be half so mad. Now don't be naughty and steal our thunder any more, but if you get in tight place just drop us few lines, and we wifi supply you with articles that have never been published

 When this language was uttered by MT. Lincoln, there was truth in 1t. The red pages of American history were being made at fearful cost, the best blood of the country. That part of our history has been made, and it stands recorded that a brave and honest people have been thwart- cd in designs they thought honorable to themselves, and conducive to their inter- csts That they have fought, many ofa them died, been defeated, and have yield cd submission-all of which conditions find many parallels i'll history. But no where de we find in the history of the world, pages that will compare with those we arc now making Why is it that the South must be made the "IshmaeP amongst nations? Why is it that when her honor has been pledged, her faith so well kept, she is not allowed those privile- gcs and rights that even her enemies de- clared could not be taken from her? When first the tocsin of war was sounded Freedom was the cry of the now powerful party; freedom of speech, of thought, of action but alas for the consistency of mal- ice. Now that wars dread cry is hushed, that the object for which old earth was made drunk with blood is accomplished. the cry of Freedom is hushed, and central ize is raised, In other words, the many who harped and canted on that precious text, "all men are created equal now say the majority are inferior to the minority, and clamor for government in which the minorwise and superior, must govern the major, foolish, and inferior. Although the conditions upon which the South sur rendered, have all been faithfully kept, still is she spit upon and grossly insuted, in all that pertains to the honesty of legis- lation. Political imbeciles sit in the pla- ces of state, and disgrace and shame their people by their perfidy and ignorance. Tennessee blushes for her Brownlow i; Missouri must hide her face when the long list of her offcials-many never before known beyond their own barn yard, if they were so fortunate as to have one-is pub- lished to the world. Yet, notwithstanding the hand of time is guiding the pen, and that many pages of history have been made and are being made-at which an Ameri- can people must ever blush still there are some North and many South, that would remedy the evils by making the future so bright as to shade in its perfectness the imbecility and folly of the present The time is now, when the American people must prove 10 the world that the Union is restored, not only in name, but in principle, in interest, and in feeling. We are now doing nothing-the South is not represent cd, in short, she has no identity--in view of these things, and that no more such history may be made, let us unite with good patriotic men of every state North or South, and forgetting prejudice enter with all our might into the working out of our own salvation, although it may be with fear and trembling. We should by all means send delegates to the Philadelphia convention. We should look with jealous regard to the formation of our legislative bodies. We should forget who we were, in the remembrance of where we are, and go at once to work, to make history of MI h; ob x,,a ,,- -;O ,,o4 k o.la,,>uI

AT Carlisle, Pa, recently, the Presbyte
rian Synods of the old and new schools
being in session at the same place, the two
bodies met in communion with great har
mony. Rev. DIR. Gurley, pastor of the
church in Washington which President
Lincoln always attended, in a speech at the
table, gave the following narrative, which
has never before been made public:


When summoned on that sad night to
the death-bed of President Lincoln, / en-.
tered the room fifteen or twenty minutes
before his departure. All presen: were
gathered aDxiously around him, waiting to
catch his last breath. The physician, with
one hand upon the pulse of the dying man,
and the other hand upon his heart, was
intently watching for the moment when life
should cease.


He fingered longer than we had expect.
ed. At last the physician said: He is
gone he is dead


Then / solemnly believe that for four
or five minutes there was not the slightest
noise or movement in that awful presence.
We all stood transfxed in our positions,
speechless, breathless, around the dead
body of that great and good man.


At length the Secretary of War, who
was standing at my left, broke the silence
and said, Doctor, will you say anything
I replied, i will speak 10 God Said he,
Do it just now


And there, by the side of our fallen
chief, God put it into my heart to utter
this petition, that from that hour we and
the whole nation might become more than
ever united in our devotion to the cause of
our beloved, imperiled country.


When ceased, there arose from the lips
of the entire company fervid and spon-
taneous Amen


And has not the whole heart of the 10y
al nation responded Amen?'


Was not that prayer, there offered, re.
sponded to in a most remarkable manner /?
When in our history have the people of
this land been found more closely bound
together in purpose and heart than when
the telegraph wires bore all over the coun-
try the sad tidings that President Lincoln

 Professor Blot writes as fellows: .-.... ...

 A remark or two on eating and driL king in hot weather will be ineseason. Green vegeta bies, properly cooked, are certainly healthfal in warm weather but it is a mistake to think thai meat should be excluded from summer diet. the hotter the weather the more the avstem wastes, and therefore the more we must supply.

 In order to keep the body in 8 healthful condition meat ought to be eaten at least once A day in summer time It would be we'll to vary this programme by taking one meal oi fish on every other day. Fat should be disus- ed as much as possible. A very little good butter with your fresh radishes at breakfast is as much fat as is necessary. s"sf s-s

 When weary, or cold, or warm, or exhaust. ed, we drink in preference to eating, because we feel the effect instantaneously while after eating even the most substantial food we dc not feel the effect for some time. When exhausted, and when immediate relie1 is necessary, the best drinks are broth, cho- colate, milk or water sweetened with sugar - It is more than mistake to drink wines oI liquors at such time it is really committing slow suicide. .,.------

 When only thirsty without exhaustion, we ought to drink cold water with Q teasp00n.- When thirsty and heated, the first thing to do is to dip the hands in cold water, deep enough to just cover the. wrists; then dip a towel in the water. lay it on the forehead and then drink cold water with teaspoon. A few drops of vinegar or lemon juice may be added to the watea. If exceedingly hot, keep your hands in cold water and the towel on your forehead for at least one minute before drink. ing.
