TIM emigration of negroes fr m .

rebellion they waited with commend
able faith and patience for the end,
firm in the-conviction that good re-
sults were to come to the colored
race. Now a feeling of distrust per
vades the whole - South. There is an
indefinable apprehension of some
diinger which has taken hold of the
colored people. It is based, probably
upon the experience 'of bull-dozing
and outrages which they have already
suffered, under local democratic rule,

No sooner had the Democrats ac.
quired a majority. of the United
•States Semite, than they began to
illustrate their devotion to the prin
ciple, of civil service reform. In
that sedate and dignified body the
officers and subordinates have been
retained through. all the. mutations of
parties, and Olanges have never beep
milk for political reasons alone. But
the 'moment the Democrats came into
'a majority, the rule was set aside,
and the hypocrisy of all their civil ser
vice professions shown, by the inde
cent baste- with which they ousted
the faithful officers of the 'Senate.
There was not even a display made
at any pretence that they would act•
upon their former loud professions
attachment' to civil service principles,
but the old Democratic 'rule was
recognized and enforced that " to the
victor belongs the spoils." Senator
BAvAnn, 'to be sure, enunciated some
general principles which sounded
'very prettily, but the end was, that
the axe fell, and before the hungry
office-seekers are done clamoring,
there will not be a Republican left in
the most humble position about the
Capitol. .
Gov. Cutim is still keeping up the
farce of prOcuring testimony in the
contest for a seat. in Congress. We
call it a farce because the result does
not dCpend upon the evidence. The
distinguished "war goverhor," as he
is facetiously designated by his
fri l ends, wilt be seated - , and the pres
ent occupant,. Yocum, ignominiously
turned out. As they are both demo
crats, we have no more inteiest in
the quarrel, than the woman who sass .
hqr htisband and a bear in a fight:
In Clinton county;_it is reported, that
'the hunt after illegal votes has turned
td the advantage of Yocum, and in
Union county he gains by the cor
rections. But he will have to go, for
all that.

Harrisburg, to an audience that filled
the hall' of the Ilouse completely.
At the close of his address,. Col.
DAvis, in behalf of his friends, pre
sented the orator with a gold-headed
cane amid loud applause. We trust
that the lecture will awaken our Fol.

their business speedily, adjourning
promptly, and thereby satisfy their

THE panic in New Orleans seems
to have •subsided as suddenly • as it
arose. At last accounts - the banks
had resumed payment, and it looks
as though the . expected financial
crash had been averted. It is another
indication that the whole country has
reached bed-rock, and that the grow
ineprosperity is founded upon a
solid basis. A year or two ago the
report of a financial flurry at New
Orleanewould have precipitated a
panic in other cities, but this time it
had no effect at all. It scarcely
caused a ripple in I usiness
and now the confilence of our busi
ness men is eXplained and justified.

She and her lawyers set their smut mill

mice of her husband rather interfered
with 'the widow's'• operations. This
system of blackmailing is carried on
lime very profitably, and one of our
prominent Massachusetts represenatives
will never grant an interview to a women,
Old or young, unless a third party is

Oci , ln Indiana a gerryma.nier haS
been consummated wheieby the

was that 'adopted in Ohio, for there
they only provided, as they supposed,
for a certain majority of one in the
delegation, while in Indiana the Re.
publicans are given only four dis
tricts out •of thirteen, and in three of
these the majorities at the last eke
tion were very small.
IN the selection of seats for the

by Senator SIMON CAMERON in the

At Concert Hall, during the past week

a short trial, coriipietely exhausted, but
the two others are still walking their half

without cessation,, on the small amount
of rest, which can be snitched at inter
