TRANSLATED FRO THE l'ASTOHAL.H OF MOSCIIL'S,
Fair Vunm In thecrossways stood,
Andcrlodaloud In anxious mood,
"Can no one information give
Of Imc my little fugillvoj
Not unrewarded shall lie be
Who brings him back sgaln to me,
But kisses luscious shall bo sip
As o'er were drunk from Beauty's lip
Wrong In the search yon cannot go
Him In a scoro you'd easily know,
IIU akin Is not of milky white,
But glows like Are with ruddy light,
llrlllian'. and flushing are Ills eyes
Their every glance with lightning vies j
And when but evil he intends
Toswo.tcst words such softness lends,
But though still varying In his mind,
E'en In his wrath ho would seem kind ;
So falso deceitful has he grown
That tiuth's a thing to him unknown,
Oh wily lsthe infant boy,
And wildly does he sport in Joy I
Ills head with matchloss curls is graced,
And boldness In his face Is traced.
Though small his hand, he alms afar,
For e'en grim Plulo wears his scar,
1 hough ne'er a purpose ho reveals,
Ilia nudity ho ne'er conceals,
But winged as a bird ho flits
From heart to heart, and guileful sits
Ho bears n bow, and tiny dart
Though tiny, oh how keen Its smart 1
His ciuiver o'er his shoulder thrown,
Is full of such, as I' must own,
For oft he's wounded even me,
In rustic, reckless, tameless glee
Though mora remain, I'll only nnmo
Alamplbat rival's Phoebus' flame.
Now when you tako him bind him fast,
No thought of pity on htm cast :
And if yon sea him piteous weep
But closer watch upon him keep,
Hcnd not his thought; and oh bowaro.
His fond caresi, there's poison there I
And should ho say : my arrows swirt
I give to;thee, touch not the gift.
Naught but produces anguish dire,
For all have been baptised with in."

ST0EY OF A SNAKE OHAEMER.
FEARFUL RESULT OF RECJCLE33N ESH,
DuCllALLU, 111 hi last book about
Africa, says :
Ouo day I witni'tUcd a (Varful scono.
A man, n native of Goroo, an islatul on
tlio coast or Sencgambla, who bad tho
reputation of bcliii a snako charmer,
and was then at tho Gaboon, had hue-
ceeded In capturing ono of theso laruo
maja. Ho was a bold man, and prided
himself on never being afraid of any
snako, however venomous tho reptile
might bo; nay, not only was ho not
afraid of any of them, but ho would
fight with any of them, and get hold of
them. I had often seen him with snakes
in his hands. Ho was careful, of course;
to hold them Just by the neck below tho
head, in such a manner that tho head
could not turn on itself nnd blto him.
That day ho brought Into a larger open
place, perfectly bans of grass; ono of
theso wild maja that ho had Just cap
tured, and was amusing himself by
teasing tho horrid and loathsome crea
turo when I arrived. It was a hugo
one.
Most of tho pcoplo of the villago had
fled, and those natives who, llko him
self, were looking on, kept a long way
off. Not a Mpongwo man, not a single
inhabitant of tho wholo reiglon I have
explored, would havo over dared to do
what tho Goreo man did.
Two orthrco times as thosnakecrawl-
ed on tho ground, wo mado off in the
oppositodirection with the uttnostspoed
myself, I am afraid, leading off in tho
general stampede; though I had provi
ded myself with a gun.
1 1 was perfectly fea rfu 1 , perfect ly li o ri rd
and appalling to sco that man making a
plaything oi this monster ; laughing 119
wo may say, at death, for it could lo
nothing else, I thought.
At first when I saw him ho had tho
snake around his body, Dut ho hold it
firmlyjust below tho neck, and I could
seo by tho miHcles of his arm that ho
had to use great strength. As long as
this part of tho body is held firmly tho
snako loses much of Its great power of
crushing one to death, as tho boa-constrictor
or python does with larger ani
mals, and ns small suakesdo with small
er gamo; but with this maja tho dan
ger would havo been tho venomous
bite.
Then with his other hand ho took tho
tail of tho suako, and gavo it a swing
and gradually unfolded tlio reptile from
his black body, which was warm and
shining with; excitement, but always
holding tho head. On a sudden lie
threw tho snake on tho ground. Then
tho creature began to crawl uway,when
suddenly the Goreo man c.ituo in front
of it with allghtstk'kaud Instantly tho
monster erected Itself almost to half its
full jength, gave a tremendous whistle,
which wo all heird, looking glaringly
and fiercely in tho man's faco with its
sharp pointcdtongtieout.iind then Blood
still as if it could not move. Tho Goreo
man, with his little stick In his left
hand, touched It lightly, as though to
toaso It. It was a fearful sight and if
it had becu near enough, the suako
would no doubt have sprung u pon its
antagonist.
Tho man, as ho teased and infuriated
the snako with tho rod ho hold in his
left hand, drew tho attention of thu
reptilo toward tho stick; then suddenly
and in tho wink of nn oyo, almost as
quick as lightning, with his right hand
Tho got hold of thecreaturojustundor
ids iiead.
tho same thing that I havo described
again took place, Tho snako folded it
self round his body;thcn ho unfolded, tho
snako, which was at ouco let loose, and
now this horrid serpent got so infuriat
ed that as soon as ho was thrown upon
the ground ho orected himself, and tho
glare of his oyos was something t err I lie.
It was Indeed an appalling scono; tho
air around seemed to bo filled with tho
whistling sound of tho creature.
Alas! a moro torrlblo scene took placet
Tho man became bolder nud bolder,
moro and more- careless, and tho snako
probably moro and moro accustomed to
tho inodo of wnrfuro of his antagonist,
and Just as tho monster stood croct tho
man attempted to echo Its neck as ho
had dono many nnd many a tlmo be
tbro, hut grasped tho body too low, and
boforo ho had tlmo to let go, tho head
turned on itself and tho man was bitten!
I wits perfectly speechless ; tho sceno
had frozen my blood, and tljo wild

shrieks of all thoso around rent the air.
Tho serpent was 16oso and crawling
on tho ground, but boforo it had tlmo
lo go far, a long polo camo down upon
Us back and broko Its spine, nnd In loss
tlmo than I tako to writo It down, tho
monster was killed.
To tho French doctor who had chargo
of tho little colony tho man went (hap
pily ho was Just nt hand); all tho reme
dies wero prompt and powerful ; tho
man suffered intensely, ills body be
came swollen, his mind wandered, and
his llfo was despaired of ; but at last ho
got better, and though complaining of
great pain near the heart, ho was soon
ablo to go out again. A short tlmo af

0 the Minority of the Committee on
Federal Itclatiom llecommcmUmi the
Submission nf the proposed JlVIi
Amendment to the Federal Constitution
to a vote of the People.
To the Senate of Pennsylvania :
Tho minority of your Commltteo 011
Federal Relations, to which joint reso
lutionfortlioratidcatlon of tho amend
ment to tho Constitution of tho United
States, to bo known as artlclo fifteen
(15), was referred for consIderatlnii,can
not agreo with tho conclusions arrived
ntby tho majority of tho committee
and respectfully report that, In their
opinion, tho question of tho ratification
orrpjectlonoftho.'nldnmcndmentshould
not now bo acted upon by tho legisla
ture, but should bo submitted to tho
peoplo in order that tholr desires upon
tlio sulijoct may bo known and their in
structions oboyed. .
wo will not enter into a tl iseussion of
tho propriety of thoamcntlment itself,
hut waiving that, will confine ourselves
to what, in our opinion, is of Infinitely
moro importance tho right of the peo
plo to detcrmlno for themselves who
shall, and who shall not,voto.
That governments derive their Just
powers from the consent of tho govern-
ed, Is a maxim as old as our Institu
tions, and tho violation of tho principle
embodied In it was, more than any
other, the cause of tho Revolution and
tho establishment of our Independence.
It is as true to-day as it was In 1770,that
ine people are to bo consulted when
any of their rights or privileges are
about to bo affected or taken from
them.
Sovereignty is in tho people; not in
the sonso in which this assertion is of
ten lightly mado, but In that substan
tial nnd important sense which makes
it tlio very basis of our system of gov
ernment. Our own constitution expli
citly provides In tho second section of
tho declaration of rights, "that all pow
er Is Inherent in tho people." It was
well said by Judgo Wilson in tlio con
vention hold in this Stato to ratify tho
iedcral Constitution: "that tho su-
premc.nbsolutoand uncontrollable pow
er is in tho peoplo boforo they mako a
constitution, and remains in them aftor
It is made. To control tho power and
conduct of tho legislature by an over
ruling constitution was an Improve
ment in tho science and practice of go v-
ornnient reserved to tho American
States. When they havo mado a State
constitution, they havo bestowed on tho
government created by It a certain por
tion of their power; but tho feo-simplo
of their power remains In themselves.
It resides in tho peoplo ns tho fountain
of govcrnmont ; tho peoplo have not
tho pcoplo meant not and tho peoplo
ought not to part with It to any gov
ernment whatsoever. In their honds
It remains secure. They can de-
lcgatoltin such proportions, to such
bodies, on such terms, and under such
limitations ns they think proper."
This great power Is not vested in tho
State, nor In tho United States. Neither
n legislature nor a convention can pos
sess it. l'erhops some politician, who
has not considered with sulllelent nceti
raey our political systems, would ans
wer that, In our governments, tho su
premo power was vested in tho consti
tutions. This opinion approaches a step
nearer totlietrutli.but does not roach It.
Tho truth Is, that In our governments,
tho supreme, absolute, and uncontrolla
ble power remains in tho people. As
our constitutions are superior to our
legislatures, so tho peoplo 1110 superior
to our constitutions. Indeed, tho supe
riority iu this last Instance, is much
greater ; for tho peoplo possess over our
constitutions control In act, as well ns
right."
Under our system tho work of a con
vention specially delegated to form a
constitution Is Inoperative until it Is
passed upon by the people, andiecelves
from their Intmls its vitality. Tho Con
stitution of tho United States and that
of our own Stnto both passed tho ordeal
of tho pcoplo andbecamooperatlvoonly
under their approval. The tendency of
public opinion is moro and moro In tills
direction, for of theconstltutinusndnpt
ed In tho United States, upwards of
eighty havo thus been submitted and
approved.
Having thus seen that tlio consent of
tho people is a matter of theory .of right
and of practice, wo now come to consid
er tho application of theso principles to
tho question boforo us.
Tho proposition contained iu the
amendment is a fundamental one. By
tills wo mean that It was ono of thoso
vitnl and Important rights that entered
deeply into thocompromlscs of tho Con
stitution nnd that power over it teas
given neither to the Federal nor the State
government, but that tho right to declare
who should excrciso tho power of elec
tion In tho Stuto was reserved to the
pcoplo nnd remains with them,
Judgo Wilson, boforo referred to, in
commenting upon tho character of this
r!ght,say6:"AllnuthorIty, of every kind,
is derived iREPHUsr,,TATIONrontfAe
people, and the democratic principle
it carried into every part of the govern
ment. It secures, in the strongest man
ner, the right of suffrage. Montesquieu,
book 2d, chap. 21, speaking of tho laws
relative to democracy, says ;
"In a democracy tho people nro In
some respects the sovereign, and In
others tho subject."
1869.
COL.
There can ho 110 excrciso of their
sovereignty but by their sullrnges,which
nro their own will. Now,thosovcre!gn's
will Is tho sovereign himself. Tho laws,
therefore, which establish tho right of
sulTrngo, nro fundamental to Mils' gov
ernment. And, indeed, It Is as Impor
tant to regulato in n republic, In what
manner, by whom, to whom, and con
cerning what, suffrages are to bo given,
as It is, In n monarchy, to know who Is
tho prince, nnd after what manner ho
ought to govern."
"In this system It is declared that the
electors in each Stnto shall havo tho
qualifications requisite for its electors of
tho most numorous branch of tho Stnto
legislature This being mado the cri
terion of right or suffrage, It Is conse
quently secured, becnuso tho same Con
stitution guarantees to every Stato In
tho Union, a republican form of govern
nffcnt. Tho right of suffrago is funda
mental to republics."
Wo hnvo no power ovt r this question.
It belongs to tho people, although n
technlcnl rending of tho Federal Consti
tution on tho subject of amendment
seems to indlcato that wohav'otho pow
er that really belongs to tho people.
Wo aro of opinion that tho power of
tho legislature of this Stato to ratify of
Its own motion nn nmendment to tho
Federal Constitution Is to be restrained
and confined to thoso matters over
which control has been vested by tho
peoplo in the Federal nnd Stato govern
ments. Our power cannot go beyond this,
for tho stream cannot rlso higher than
Its RDlirCP.
Without tho consent of tho peoplo of
this State, a right that Is not grantedby
them to cither tho Federal or tho Stato
government, cannot bo taken from
them, nor can thu rights of a minority
of tho Stntcs bo tfiken nwny by tho ma
jority, when tho right Invaded has nev
er been within tho control of the Feder
al Government. If this attribute of
sovereignty can bo taken from us by
Congress nnd tho Legislature then liber
ty of tho press and trial by Jury can in
llko manner bo swept nwny, and it Is
within tho power of amendment to ere
ntc nn established church and connect
Church nud Stato.
Tho cxerciso of this power by tho
Legislature, icilhout the consent of the
people, is not amendment, it is revolution.
A further consideration of tho struct
ure of our government and of tho pow
ers granted by tho people leads us to
the samo conclusion.
Tlio legislature of tho Stato is limited
and controlled by tho provisions of tho
Stato constitution. Its acts iu violation
thereof aro void. As an independent
body, every attcmpton itspartto inter
fere with tho right of suffiago, or to
change tho rulo thereof, is of no effect.
It may register tho public will, but it
can never net with power upon a sub
ject beyond its control. Tho Constitu
tion of the United States is a part of
tho constitution of Pennsylvania, nnd
tho constitution of rennsy 1 vnnla is a part
of tho Constitution of the United States.
Each is supremo within Its sphere.
Tho government of tlio United States
is ono of enumerated powers; all pow
ers not granted to it "aro reserved to
tho States and the people." Wo may
for tho purposes of this report consider
it to be supremo in its control of doubt
ful and concurrent powers, yet beyond
theso wide fields and outside, of the
rango of its nuthorlty, is found the con
trol of this Important subject. It Is
reserved to the States, or tho pople. It
Is n part of tho Stato constitution, and
111 that respect the provisions thereof aro
tho supremo law. Being neither an
enumerated, a concurrent, nor a doubt
ful power under tho Federal constitu
tion its control manifestly is in tho
State or tho peoplo. This nmendment
would bo futlio if tho subject of it wero
not beyond tho pale of Federal author
ity. No one will nrguo that Its control
Is In the Stnto legislature, If tho provis
ions ol the Federal Constitution on tho
subjtct of nmendment nre not to be
considered, but wo have already seen
that it is in no manner controlled by
Federal aulhoiity. If it is, then tho
State Constitution, tho supremo law
upon this subject, is mado inferior to
the power of tho Stato legislature, and
they may by amendment over-rldo It.
No such violation of tho rights of tho
people was over contemplated by tho
framcrs of our constitutions, but thu
plain and clear Interpretation of thu
whole subject is, that this right Is ouo
that belongs to thu peoplo and can only
bo affected or controlled by them.
Ifbythevoto of tho legislatures of
three-fourths of tho States this amend
ment bo ratified, and by tlio action of
our Stato it is rejected, then our control
of suffrago In Pennsylvania is taken
from us by tho votes of tho legislatures
of Florida and Oregon. Surely such a
result as this tvus never contemplated
by tho framers of tho government. t
If it had over been supposod towxlstj'j
tho Federal Constitution would never''
havo been ratified.
For theso reasons wo coucludo that
sovereignty upon Mils subject U reserv
ed to tho peoplo, that tho power of
amendment In this form without their
consent does not exist, but that It docs
oxlst as to all those matters in which
powers nnd rights nro vested by tho
Stato or Federal Constitution in tho
Stato or Federal Government.
Tho pcoplo of tho Stato established
this rulo ami It Is their right to bo con
sulted In its change. Wo cannot err In
going to them for Instructions.
Tho Legislature was electod upon oth
er issues; 0110 political party in tho Into
election maintained that "Tho question
of suffrago In all tho loya' States prop
erly belongs to tlio people of thoso
states," whilst tlio position of the other
has uniformly boon, that tho peoplo of
tho states nro pos.so.ssod of all powerover
tho rulo of suffrago. Both rccognizu thu
right of tho pcoplo, and tho Legislature
would bo recroant to its duty, as well as
to the dictates of common honesty, to
recant tho express pledges involved lu
Its election.
Tho matter for ui to dotoruilne. U not

The religion of tho negro! What is
it? Does it deserve tho name of relig
ion ? How few of us know nnythlng
in tho world about that in lsorable com
pound of ignornnco, superstition, wick
edncss and political prejudico upon
which rest tho negro's liopo of' what ho
hears called Heaven. Although wo
hear continually of tho religious demor
ntlzalion of tlio colored race, how few
of us havo nny Idea of tho extent to
which It has gono, nnd of the Immi
nent rclnpso into barbarism which It
foreshadows.
Tho neirro is nn imtirosslhlp. Imntit.
slvo being, nnd boforo tho war tho la-
uora oi mnny good masters nt tho South
for his spiritual welfare gavo rich prom
ise of reward. A religious contempora
ry remarks, "wo do not expect to sco
this bido of heaven scenes of greater
spiritual attractiveness than many of
theso colored Sabbath-schools nnd as
semblages for worship often afforded, lu
tho days of slavery." But with the
passlHgaway of tho "peculiar institu
tion" of tho South has vanished that
reverence for his late master which led
tho poor negro to accept with faitli tho
words of divine truth which fell from
his lips. Under the Influence of de
signing demairocues thev havu become
alienated from their old friends nnd
teachers, nnd hnvo apparently come to
feel that tho marks of truo religion are
principles directly opposed to all they
before professed to love nnd cherish. A
new theological system with theso
charactcribtics hos recently been dis
covered to prevail in the most of tho
Southern States. It is called by the no
gro "Boora religion," which may bo
derived from "Bureau," or "Freed
men's Bureau," for under the teachings
of Its agents has tho newsystcmsprung
into being. Its fundamental dogma is
snlvntlon not through Christ, but
throUL'h the mediation of tho Jiureau.
Its catechism, ns reported to ono of
tho editors of tho Christian Observer of
this city, is a strange compound of su
perstition and blasphemy. It com
mences ;
"Who mado you ?"
"God."
"Who redeemed you?"
"Tho Lord Jesus Christ."
"Who redeemed you from slavery?"
"Abraham Lincoln."
In all this may plainly bo traco.l tho
influence of tho sanctimonious Massa
chusetts carpet-baggers whoso only aim
is their own political advancement in a
country in which they havo no interest
nnd who to gain a voto would scarcely
hesitate to damn a soul. Thetomen,
nwureof tho credulity of their dupes,
tisa overy means to impress them with
tho belief that Radicalism must bo a
part of their religion. Their breath la
den with tlio odor of Mountain Dew, or
Just arisen from tho couch of sin, with
tho'wordsof profanity not yet cold up
on their Hps, tho Impious wretches will
go to a'politicnl meeting composed of
nunareus or negroes and say, as did one
within my hearing, not long ngo, with
sanctimonious drawl; "Brethren, wo
should engago in nothing without Invo
king tho blessing of God. Let us pray."
Then follows a petition, not directed to
tho throno of grace, but designed, as
muel( as tho speech which it precedes,
to work upon tho minds of tho Ignorant
auditors. Negro preachers haraniruo
their congregations from tho pulpit on
political subjects, and often invito 'pro
minent politician?' of tho samo political
stripe to do tho same. Underwood thus
preached n sermon iu tho First African
Church in this city; so did Henry Wil
son tv lieu lie camo tu Itlchmoud, and if
I mistake not Senator Pomeroy in 1SGS!
Religious notices aro given out at a po
litical mooting, and political notices at
Sunday services and prayer meetings
in tlio churches. A negro wljo J'gos
back"outho party is liableto be expelled
from tho ciurch a penalty tho fear of
which flllsjds weak mind with terror.
By such 'means nro tho purposesof tho
ItiidlcakirSccomiillshed In tho South. To
such' oas'o,'dovlcos does tho "God nnd
morality" party resort In this year or
grnco 1809.
To n Northerner visiting tho Into re
bellious States, tho spectaelo presented
nt a place where negroes worship is full
or strango interest. Tho night is their
tlmo for servlco. Visiting a church at
"early candio-llght" we find It crowded
to Its utmost capacity with negroes of
nil ages and both sexes an exclled
throng or blacks, from whoso perspiring

offensive, but almost Insufferable at
first. Tho preacher has not arrived and
