OVB CORRUPT LEGMUTURE.
From two of our Radical exchanges
we copy the following comments con
cerning our beautiful Legislature:
•• Last year there wan paid mu for LpßtHlaltve
•xpeoxes nearly ono hundred ihnatanj dollar*
more than was appropriated—precisely how. or
by what authority, w# presume Is past finding
out.”—iVtiburff Cbmmarcin/.
“We Intend no reflection unon the members
of preceding ./eglslalU'e* lu saying that the pre
sent Legislature of Pennsylvania Js the most
corrupt one which has everdtsgrnced that Htate.
and taut Is saving a good deni. Kven the Radi •
eal papers complain Hint mo't of the time la ta
ken up In private Jobs. The • Ring' do a large
and profitable business. Everything Is reduced
to dollars and cents,”—.Ynr Haven ) Jieg
liter.
A week or so ago a proposition was
submitted iu the House to increase the
members pay to $1,500. At present it
is $l,OOO for the session. This motion
was seriously entertained and debated
for several hours, and no doubt would
have been adopted ha. not the mem
bers been afraid that their indignant
constituents would have lynched them
on their return home. But, impudent
and outrageous as this proposition was,
it would be well to adopt it, provided a
different class of men—men of integrity
and honor—could be induced to accept
seats in the Legislature. The $66,500 ad
ditional pay for members and Senators
would be a “ drop in the bucket” com
pared with the wholesale robberies that
are now practiced. Formerly, when
men of character were members of our
State Legislature, their pay was $3OO
for the session. Now. when a very low
order of men occupy the same seats (we
speak of the majority,) their salary is
$l,OOO, and some of them clamor for
$1,500. It would be economy to pay
double the present salary, provided
honest men can be selected for members
of Assembly. But an increase of
salary is not necessary. The present
pay is sufficient, even for men of in
tegrity, and entirely too much for
the majority in the present Legislature.
The fault is with the people themselves,
in not exercising more care in the se
lection of their public servants. Let
good men ef both parlies look to their
interests, and swear in their hearts that
•orrupt men and drunkards shall no
longer occupy places intended only for
men of character and integrity.
COS«BL.SHII«X MENAHn.v
Menard, the Louisiana negro, who
claimed a seat in Congress, not because
he was elected to it, but because he held
the certificate of election from the car
pet bag Governor, was permitted toad
dress the House in his own behalf on
Saturday last. After utteringafew un
leliigible remarks against the other
contestant, (Mr. Hunt, white man,) he
asked that the remainder of his “speech”
be printed in the Globe (the official pa
per) which was allow* d. After this
Mr. Dawes, (who regarded the whole
exhibition a disgraceful farce,) moved
that the subject be laid on the table.—
This was agreed to, and the Hon Me
nard retired in disgust. To .reconcile
him to his sad disappointment, howev
er, a resolution was offered allowing
Menard to draw from the people's trea
sury $2,500 “ for the time he spent” in
trying to get into Congress. The reso
lution was adopted. “ Mr. Menard,”
grinning like a monkey, proceeded to
the Treasury, presented his draft, drew
the $2,500 that had been presented him
by the House, and at once left for Lou
isiana. Lucky nigger, is Menard. Pay
your taxes, white men—" the coming
man” to use Sumner’s words, “ must
be cared for and protected."
J@“That measure of infamy, the Met
ropolitan Police bill, which was inten
ded to strip Mayor Fox, of Philadel
phia, of all patronage and control in
municipal affairs, was called up in the
State Senate on Friday, and defeated by
a very decisive vote. Senators Fisher,
Lowry, Osterhout, Robison, Stutzman
and Taylor voted with the Democrats
against it, making the result stand aye*
11 and nays 20.
Before the vote was taken, Mr. Fish
er, (Republican) said :
■’l l ’* Speaker, the psrt.r Itth hn«
no terrors for me when u 1r rained in ihe cause
of outrage and wrong. Whenever n proper par*

b> the best Republicans in Philadelphia, 'ihe
measure was asked for by the rogues and thieves
of the Republican party.
This measure, which is thus denounc
ed by leading Republican Senators, was
the pet child of Forney’s Prcts. Com

lengthy history of the “ Man without a

carcerated in the Brooklyn jail without
trial In 18GG,on the charge of piracy and
murder, and demands his release at
once. It says that Johnson has dis
charged all those charged with great
crimes, and permits a “ poor wretch” to
languish In prison without trial or re

DISCTIABGE or PASTERS AID FOLDERS.
, So long as there was any hope of ex
tracting some thirty thousand dollars
from the State Treasury, for the pur
pose of paying the pasters and folders,
the Radicals of the lower House of our
State Legislature persistently adhered
to their resolution to give to each Re
publican member of the House the pri
vilege of appointing one or more of his
adherents to a sinecure position, in
which the only work to be done was the
pleasant ono of drawing their pay.—
Vain were the denunciations begun by
the Democratic press and taken up in
turn, by a few Radical Journals, sneh as
the Philadelphia Pott, the Pittsburgh
Commercial, and the Lancaster Express.
The virtuousßepublican lawgivers re
fused to be admonished, and turned a
deaf car to every railing accusation
which was brought against them. They
have, however, finally passed a resolu
tion discharging the extra twenty-sev
en useless officials; but they have only
done so after being fully convinced that
they could not force the payment of
their salaries. They were not influ
enced by any desire for economy. They
started out with the deliberate inten
tion of robbing the State Treasury, and
it was only when they found that it
would be utterly impossible to secure
the passage of an appropriation thiough
the Senate to pay their hangers on, that
the Radical members of the House con
sented to dismiss them. They cannot
claim any credit for what they have
now dons. They are none the less
thieves because they failed to carry off
their plunder.' They stand convicted
before the people of Pennsylvania, and
branded with the mark of public rub
hers. The Republican party is respon
sible for their misdeeds, and it must be
made to answer for them.
Money to Buy Negro Votes.—A
resolution has just been passed by Con
gress appropriating $30,000 for the re
lief of the “ poor” of the District of Co
lumbia. By “ poor” are meant the
idle negroes who lounge in the gallery
ot the House of Representatives, where
hundreds of able-bodied blacks may be
seen lounging every day, and the horde
which infests the lanes and alleys of the
metropolis, too lazy to work, but sharp
enough to live on government bounty.
Of course it will be claimed that no dis
tinction will be made in the distribu
tion of the money so lavishly appropri
ated by Congress, but everybody who
knows anythingof Washington politics,
knows what is the real meaning of this
ostentatious charity. The municipal
election will soon take place, and these
thirty thousand dollars are to be put in
to the hands of Radical ward politician,
to be used in controlling negro votes.—
This is a cheap way of electioneering.
The people at large are thus forced to
pay liberally toward the expenses of a
municipal election, in which the will of
the white property-holders of Wash
ington is overborne by the votes of ne
groes fed and feed at the expense of the
taxpayers of the whole country. There
vas a time when such an outrage
would have excited universal indigna
tion, but so many greater enormities
have been practiced by the Radicals,
that such a matter as this excites but
little attention.
The Radicals at Washington, while
they propose to give the negro the bal
lot seek to disfranchise the foreigner.—
A hill has been presented to Congress to
amend the natura ization laws so as to
retard the naturalization of foreigners.
This is the revival of the old Know
Nothing creed, which, it will be re
membered, had its foundation in the
pro-cription of foreign-born citizens
There is no reason to believe that this
measure will fail in either house. On
the contrary, the indications point
strongly to its enactment, and that, too,
by the votes of the very men who have
•-nfranchised hundreds of} thousands of
ignorant, barbarous negroes, in tht
."'cithern Stales, and are now about, to
propose, by amendment to the Consti
tution, to enfranchise them all over the
country. It is high time that the white
people of the States, from Maine to the
Rio Grande, served a notice upon those
who assume to be their representatives
in Congress, that, unless they obey the
Constitution of the United States and
the laws of society, they will be held
accountable, individually and collect
ively. The foreign Deraoi rat and the
native Democrat will otherwise be
crushed out, and the Yankee Radical
and negro Radical rule the country ad
infinitum.
Stealing a School Fund. —lt ap
pears that Radical politicians have sto
len the school fund of Tennessee. A
Republican paper says, “among those
most deeply implicated in this theft are
Congressmen Arnell, Mullins and
Nunn, who pocketed between them
$23,000.” Legal proceedings have been
instituted, but very little hope is enter
tained that a single dollar of the mis
sing money will ever be recovered.—
This is of a piece with other transac
tions of the acallywags and carpet-bag
gers who have been foisted upon the
South by bayonets and negro votes
The State of Tennessee has been bank
rupted by them, and, even the school
fund has been stolen by men who ait in
Congress as fit representatives of the
party of great moral ideas. Faugh 1

BONDS,
It is generally known that by cove
nant between theflnancialofficersof the
Union Pacific Railroad Company and
the Trustees ofthe FirstMorlgage Bond
holders, these bonds were made paya
ble, principal and interest, in gold.—
The United States Supreme Court has
just decided the validity of contracts
made payable in gold coin. This decis
ion of the highest national tribunal es
tablishes beyond question or doubt the
manner and terms upon which the
Union Pacific Railroad Company must
inevitably pay both principal and inter
est of their First Mortgage Bonds.
These bonds are a First Mortgage up
on the longest railroad iu the world,
and in amount do nut exceed the sum of
$27,000 per mile, while the earnings up
on the portion of the road in operation
last year averaged more than $7,000 per
mile. And when the entire line shall
be opened, ns it will be in the early
Supimer, to the trade and travel to the
Pacific, the earnings will be very large
ly increased. Experience has shown
that the longest lines of railroad (other
things being equal) are always the most
profitable. The Inst year’s earnings up
on the New York Central, the New
York and Erie, and the Pennsylvania
Central are proof of this. The New
York Central’s earnings per mile were
$21,254,the New York and Erie, $25,-
811, and the Pennsylvania road, $47,-
475. The Union Pacific is a much lon
ger railroad. Let its annual earnings
per mile reach the average of these
roads—say s32,sl2—and the result on
eleven hundred miles of road will be
$35,763,200 in the year.
Such facts as these have made Union
Pacific Bonds the most popular securi
ties in the market; and the sales are
now so active that parties who desire to
invest will do well to make their sub
scriptions at once.
PASSED FINALLY,
After an unusual display of hesitation
and reluctance on the part of both Hou
ses of Congress, the ■ constitutional
amendment is now passed finally. The
text of the bill is as follows:
Be it retolved, Jtc. Two-thirds of both Houses
concurring, that the following amendment to
the Constitution of the United States be submit*

Sec. 2. The Congros shall have power to en
force this article by appruprate legislation.
It will now go out to the legislatures
of all the States for ratification. The
approval of three-fourths of them Is re
quisite. This will require the Radicals
to control twenty-eight State legisla

The *ole object of conversation and anxiety
seems to be the Inauguration, which will take
place on Thursday. Every available room, bed
and cot has been engaged, and most of them are
already occupied. Landlords aresmillug and gra

feet of their white radical brethren from the

ry, It is stated on good authority that (Irani and
Johnson will ride in the same carriage, at the
Inauguration. The grand ball, whleh was and
then was not, seems now to be in a flourishing
condition and the thing will undoubtedly take
place.
The second great question of the day Is. “who
will compose Grant’s Cabinet T”. The radical lea
ders from your Bute tried the bullying game last
week, and sent the valiant Alex. McClure to de
mand of the biave Ulyvea the appointment of
Andy Curl In as the member of hla cabinet from
Pennsylvania. Tm reault of the interview, watch

the slip;
The politicians and the President-elect have
had an exciting time. The fact, made public by
General Grant that he had decided to appoint a
Pennsylvanian In his C tblnet, brought to Wash
ington the leaders of the Radical party In that
Stale, moat of whom, with as little principle a*
good taste, have sought to dlcUte on the mere ba
sis of rumor, or regarding said appointment. The
result has already been strife and discord }n the
Republican ranks, and commotion among the
politicians. This morning Alexander McClnro,
went to army headquarters In company with one
or two friends, and sending his card In obtained
nn interview with the President-elect. Mr. Me-
Clare, after the nsual Interchange of curtesies,
itald he bad a letter signed by Judges Aguew.

Pennsylvania, and other prominent men of t; e
Republican party In the Bute, asking that lha
State might be represented in the Cabinet of the
new administration, and respectfully suggesting
ilia nwmeof ex-Goveraor Anlrew G. Curtin for
a position. He added that alelter from Governor
Geary and others was on. the wav warmly indors
ing Governor Curtin, and commending him to
the favor of the President-elect, in the hope that
the name would be well and favorably received.
General Grant replied to thin that he had already
determined to give the State of Pennsylvania a
pla»e In the Cabinet, and had selected a distin
guished gentleman and a member of the llepuh
lean party, whoso name, however, he could not
mention at present. He felt confident that the
selection would meet the approval of the party
and the people of that State.. Mr. McClure said,
la sub’tiDce, that he had noticed In newspapers
the names of G«orge H.Biuait, a Philadelphia
merchant, »n«l a-> ex-Judge Smith, as b Ing likely
ve cover tue homo ml tbs party selected, but ha
hoped that such was not tho case. He feltsa e,

Ilcau Btote Committee, In saying that these n en
Wvre not active Republican politicians. They
would not please the party, and were not desprv.
Jng by workordevotlon any suc-h high reward or

not see that the politicians of Pennsylvania
should make up my Cabinet,” Mr. McClure re
plied that as for George H. Stuart ho never knew
him to b« active ot a Republican meeting, or to
contribute otherwise to the success of the Re
publican puny; indeed, he would not be looked
upon mb a representative man of the party, and,
he added, that standing ns an old member of Ills
party, * I must protest against the selection of
Mr. Htuart." “Why,” said General Grant, with
an expression of surprise, " 1 do not see how any
one can object to Mr. Stuart. He devoted himself
during the war to his country, contributing at all
times his persona) service and his means for tho
soldiers of the army. But,’ 1 with a pause, * Do
not understand me os saying that I have selected
Mr. Htuart as a member of my Cabinet.” Mr
McOuresald ; •’ Mr Stuart is not a representative
of the Republican party,” General Grant replied
with ♦ mphasls: Then lam nut a representative or
the Republican party:" The President-elect then
moved toward a desk, indicating that ho did not
des're to prolong the Interview, and Mr. McClure
said: ”General,l felt It tny duty to present lb •
name of Governor Curtin, and that accomplish© I
my mission is ended." He then withdrew Mi -

pressing his belief that Stuart was going 1.. t t the
Cabinet. At tho Capitol he met many Pennsyl

him, and tho Congressmen from his Mtato and
others gathered aud listened. Senator Simon
Camerom was among them. "I am disposed, '*
said the incorruptible statesman, “ if Stuart Isso
lected to indorse the appointment. ’ ” What has
Stuart ever done for the party f” gibed in Mc-
Clure again. ”He has doue a great deal,” an*
awerod Cameron ”obl General, that is very
well," echoed Mr. Cluro, ” but he la not tho kind

you hud around the Girard House. Philadelphia,
drinking wine and fixing up matters for the uoys
to arrange the primaries that Cameron men
would be elected to tiie Legislature to send you
to the United States Senate," There was ashout
of laughter attain palpable hit. The crowd took
up the talk. '* McClure is right" said one. "Grant
cannot go back on the politicians and he w ut
sell out the men who elected him." " Bui it Is a
bud stan," said nothor "to take a pious old fel
low like Stuait, who will be fooled in a week by
the men around him." "I'm for grant having

elected In the face of all their opposition. Ills
the d—t impudence 1 over beard of that these
men should come down here to dictate to Grant,
The people have repudiated them.’*
Altera great deal of smal talk from small men,
and a hundred and one amendments, the negro
suffrage amendment bos at lost passed both
Houses In the following form :
lif U resolved; «tc., tivo-thirdx of both Houses con
r.nrriiiOt That the following amendment to the
Constitution of the United Slates be submitted to
the LeslHlalurea of the several States, and, when
ratified by three-fourths thereof, it shall be a pun
of said Cotmllulloi.
Akticlk 15. The right of the citizens of the
United States to vote shall not he denied or
Hbridued by the United States, or by any stale on
account ol race, color, or previous condition ol
servitude.
Section 2. The Congress shall have power to en
force tbU article by appropriate legislation.
This differs from the bill as It came from the
Senate by dropping the right of the negroes to
hold office and omitting religion and education.
I have strong hopes that this amendment will
not be ratified by three-fourths of the States.—
Even Mr. Sumner and Mr Bontwell expressed
the opinion that It cannot be ratified; and their
d mbts or despa'r should encourage the friends ol
Stale rights to make a vigorous opposlt ion to the
ante draent in every State where there Is an Inch
of ground to fight upon. Let your Pennsylvni la

be submitted to the present Legislature, and th«'
man who tails to vote for it will he damned by
his party, while the man who d .es vote for It will

The Supreme Court has made an important de
cision having relation to the tender laws. Tl ©
Legislature of Oregon In levying the Slate taxes
provided that the same should be paid In coin.—
Certain tax-payers tendered greenbacks In pay
ment, and pleaded i hat the tender act mode pay
ment in greenbacks a liquidation of “all debts,
public and private, except duties on Imp »rUi and
■merest on the public debt of the United States.”
The Courts of Oregon sustained the state law
and the case came up on appeal to the Supreme
Court at Washington. It was held by the Court
that the act ma ting notes of the United States a
legal tender for all debts,publlcand prlvate.does
not make them a legal tender for that which 1*
n*t a debt. Taxes levied by a Stale are not In
-luded In the legal meaning of the word debt, as
i he obligation to pay taxes rests on entirely d .ffer
-ntgroun-t from the obligation to pay sums due
on contract; and the laws under which the one
class of obligations a 1 • created and enforced a
wholly distinct from tlio.se which apply to the
other class of obligations. You remember that
when your Judge sharswood rendered a decision
in the Borle va. Trout case, to the effect that coin
contracts were valid there was a tremendous
howl from Radical journals. Now that the Su
premo Court of the United States has confirmed
the views of this distinguish, d Judge these same
Journals accept it ns sound law, and see no lurk
ing treason in the decision. Thusdnestline vin

laid down by the Democracy. The 'lme is com
ing when the people will confess the superiority
and wisdom of Democratic statesmen and entrust
power to their hands
Although the Red Hot Radicals of the U. S. Sen
ate agreed In caucus the other day to postpone
the consideration of the repeal of the Tenure-of-
Office Act, until the meeting of the new Congress
on the 4th of March, It may yet be repealed b>
the present Congress, but In this event General
r.rnnt will be Indebted to thowe who opposed his
election for such a measure of common Justice.—
It Is very clear that the Republicans in the Sen*

now stand, there will be no repeal except by a
union of conservative Republican and Demo

Terrible Accident.— The York
Pennsylvanian says that on Monday week,
while George Zorger. of Newberry town
ship, In York county, was working in a
deep stone quarry, one-fourth mile from
York Haven, two huge rucks, hanging a
number of feet above him, suddenly
tumbled down, and sunk the workman
so deep into the soft ground upon which
he hail been standing, that his head and
I art of his body were entirely buried.—
The large stone is supposed to have
weighed fifteen tons; and the other,
which fe-I upon him, was also of .im
mense weight. Lut much lighter. It re
quired the strength of some twenty men
to roll the rocks away. So compleM
was the victim crushed and buried, that
nothing but one of his limbs could be
neen. Of course he was killed instantly,
tie was nearly 20 years old, and leaves a
wife and two children behind.

“No Boom for Loafers.”— These
words recently met our eye as we passed
a workshop in this town. “No room for
loafers.” Sure enough, there is no room
for loafers anywhere in this working
world. They are not wanted in the busy
workshop, nor in the editor’s sanctum;
they are a nuisance in the country store,
spitting and spewing about the stove,
and at the post < ffice and street corner’s
aie in everybody’s way. -They are forev
er out of place—except when in the alms
house or jail. A dead weight upon socie
ty, they are a hindrance and a bore.—
They form no part of nature’s plan; it
abhors, (hem as it does a vacuum. While
all the world around them is going for
ward, they are standing still, or rather
gliding imperceptibly backward into
the seedy vagabondism. A loafer soon
grows rusty. It is only use which keeps
our faculties bright,and the idle man gets
dull, stupid, stolid and muddy-headed.
Yet some of these fellows seem to think
very well of themselves. You will see
them strutting along the sunny side of
the street, lounging at comers, or hang
ing about the doors of the hotels, with
fin© clothes upon their backs, and a well
satisfied smirk upon their vacant counte
nances. The poor creatures look down
upon a poor working man os a being of
inferior order! No doubt the drones af
fect to despise the busy bees, until they
are driven from the hive to starve, while
the workers feast upon the honey. A
loafer setting himself above tbe man who
labors with his hands! Why, be is as
far beneath him as iu the order of creation
the sloth is beneath the common horse.—
A yopng mechanic, in his working dress,
and with his tools In his hands, is every
way a more agreeable object than tbe best
dressed loafer in existence. There is al
ways room for him. He Is never out of
place, for he is keeping step with the
movement of the universe. He bus an
aim, a purpose, and he stands for some
thing. His faculties are trained to use,
and ho is of value to the world for what
he can do. The skilled workman is to
Die idle man what Die manufactured ar

additional value above that of mere man

A Bloomer. —The local editor of the
Harrisburg State Guard indulges in the
following rhapsody over a 41 bloomer”
whom he saw in that city last week. —
He states that she came up the Cumber
land Valley. Did any one see her, and
did she create a sensation, and If so, how
much? Who knows?
“Many tilings make their appearance
ami transpire at the Capitol dally, which
deserve, but which a local reporter dare
not notice. It is not his province to
delve into the mystery of politics; but
when a full fledged bloomer, a rosy cheek*
ed and radiant—looking-glass makes her
appearance in the rotunda and is esco-t
-ed to the galleries of the legislative hall,
it is the business of the local reporter to
note the fact. Yet, as in politics, he does
not dare to delve into the bloomer mys
teries. Yesterday.such a bloomer appear
ed in tiie galleries of the Senate and
House, took a promenade in the rotunda,
visited the Library and the Executive
Chamber, and appeared particularly anx
ious to pee what was transpiring official
ly. She was dressed in green plaid, ->
skirt reaching an inch (not by actual
measurement) below the knees, with
trousers of the same material—making
altogether a neat and jaunty appearance.
A lady thus attired could not fail to at
tract attention. Grave legislators ogled
her and page boys grinned at the novel
ty of the costume, while the lady herself
sauntered along undisturbed by the sen
sation she had created. After gazing at
the dignitaries on the bill, we next ob
served the bloomer at the railroad sta
tion, quietly seated in a Cumberland
Valley railroad car, which carried her
doubtless, to create surprise iu some one
of the delightful boroughs of that ver
dant region.’’
Embellish Your Houses.—Mr. Car
ey, the noted horticulturist of Rochester,
N. Y.. s ys:
The first thing I should press on the
farmers in the way of improvement
would be what we might call roadside
improvement. Keep the cattle off the
highways, keep the weeds cut close and
lines of shade trees on each side—this,
with neat fences, will be an evidence of
civilization to begin with. Then I would
enjoin the removal from the roadside
near the dwellings of all dilapidated and
broken imniements, which are so apt,
somehow or other, to accumulate.
The barn ami other out-buildings are
very frequently located more on the prin
ciple of convenience than good taste, but
we must take these things as they are,
and Improve them with paint or wash of
some sort, and a good, thick belt of rap
id growing trees around them, both for
shelter and shade, and to partly conceal
their unsightly appearance.
Then, as for the door-yard, I would
dig up, root out all the old neglected
plum and peach, cherry and quince
trees, that seem to have sprung up by
chauce in the fence corners. All this
class of trees, that we might call the '.fi
ner fruits, not usually grown in orchards,
I would form Into a nice fruit garden of
half an acre to two acres, as might be
necessary. There I would have a com
plete collection of pears, cherries, apri
cots, plums, quinces, all the small fruits
systematically planted and carefully
cultivated. This garden might be made
one of the most interesting portinnsoftbe
premises, to say nothing of the abundant
supply of fine fruit and vegetables it would
yield. Here the family could acquire a
taste for gardening, as well as learn to
practice it.
The ground about the bouse I would
convert into a smooth lawn which must
be kept cut close all summer. This lawn
must be suitably embellished with ds
ciduous and evergreen tress, flowering
shrubs, roses, etc. This is the way I
preach to farmers when I yislt them, but
only once in a great while with any ef
fect. It is a shame for our well-to-do far
mers that they are so behind in this mat
ter. It makes farm life so dull and drea
ry a pursuit that 1 am not surprised to
see all the brighter boys run away from
it, and our rural papulation growing less
every year. Then I think how much
these improvements would add to the
market value of the farms. A nice bouse,
some good fences, and an orchard, In
crease the value of the farm from $2O to
$23 per acre, other things being equal;
but carry out such suggestions as I have
made, aud what do you suppose it would
add to the value of farms? Almost dou
ble it ? This argument baa some weight,
it touches the pocket, but the moral ef
fect of such improvements would be ab
solutely incalculable.
That Diamond.—Our article on “ the
great Daugherty Diamond’* has awaken
ed considerable interest, and the State
Guard publishes a statement prepared
or suggested by Dr. Daugherty himself,
from which it will be seen that there is
some reality, about the rumor. The
Guard says;
“Nealy a.century ago, an old gentle
man was passing along a road in lower
Virginia, where a party, of worthy emi
grants had been encamped some time be
fore. As he walked leisurely forward, a
rabbit crossed his path. Ue paused, and
in a moment the little animal returned.
Coming back the third time, theold man
stooped to pick up a stone to throw at it.
As lie lifted his arm in the sunlight his
attention was attracted by the beautiful
manner in which the stone refracted the
light, and instead of throwing it he put it
into his pocket. Reiurning home he
gave it to his children to play with, only
regarding it aa a singularly beautiful
atone, without attaching any specisl val
ue to it. Borne days afterward, an intelli
gent physician called at the bouse, and
observing the a one on the floor, (exam
