The slave power knew, ill cnemiee, as by instinct, when Booth and Tuyne Attacked Lincoln ond inownrd. Ucea- bionnlly now an old Northern dotich- face a raco almost extinct attacks tho memory of Lincoln or Stanton or Seward, guided by tho tame kind of instinct. Ihe latest instance may be found in apublished letter addresser! to Charles Francis Adams by Jeremiah S. Ulnck. Some people ..will remem ber Mr. Black's bitter attack on .Mr. Stanton soon after the death of that great War Secretary. Others believe that Mr. Black inspiredihat venomous hook. "Lamon's Life of Liircoln." Many passages of that work bear tho mark of his polished but Jesuitical pel), while it is known that Lamon and Black were associates and part ners ns lawyers and churn agents whiln tho book was in preparation. Mr Seward is now the object of defama tion by this buy jackal. As an expo nent gf.the principles . of tboDciuo cratiUpnrly Mr. Black is the highest authority. It is this which gives the subject the greatest importance. Can the leopard chang-e his spots T Our attention 13 chie8y directed now to his attack on the higher law and the astounding- ignorance displayed by the writer, of what IJepublicans regard as the simplest principles of moral philosophy applied to Govern niont. The tiera lawyer we know, who essays to dispose of the higher law mi the way mr. mock attempts to do it in this letter to Mr. Adams, is apt to reject such philosophy as loo re fined and too spiritual. Men of Mr. Blaok's cls recognize as their only religiou tli j worship of the btutc. Ln like that party, tho creot men. tho leaders ot mankind, ever manifested Fuprcme faith in God and humanity. Adams' denounced ''the apologists of the fctamp Act as "enemies of human nature." Tho authority of British law, as laid down by Bluckstoue, was quoted nguim't tho Act 111 these words "Tho law of nature being coeval with God himself, is, of course, superior to any other, ino human laws are ot any validity if contrary to this." Alexander Hamilton', the framer of the Constitution, n (linns that "the sa cred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records, ihey are written as with a sunbeam in the whole vol ume of human nature, and can never be erased or obscured by moral pow er." "Ilappv, thriee happy;" said Wash ington, "shall they be pronounced hereafter who shall have assisted in protecting the rights of human na ture. Tho Revolutionary Congress, in its last act, enjoined upon posterity to re member "that, it . lias .ever been the pride and boast of America that the lights for which she contended were rights of human nature. Cicero wrote that denial of a higher law "subverts all union in a state and destroys the community of tho human race. Locke inculcated the doctrine that "ihero is a diviue law which is over all society and all states, and which is the only tqucustoDe of moral recti tude." Milton's "Defense of the Feoplo of England," although at tho time b jvn ed by the public executioner, its au. thor only by good . fortune' escaping the same fate, was but a promulga tion of the samo philosophy so de rided by ex-Attorney General Black. -Guizot, in writing of the decliue of Roman civilization arrives at the this momentous conclusion : "The only foundation of our hope for humanity Is in the great truth that there exists a law which, by whatever name it may bo called, whether reason, the law of God, or what not, is at all times and in nil places tho same." Is it strange that the advocates of this philosophy are still persecuted and denouueed? Adams, Hamilton ana Washington escaped the scanold only by the success of their cause, while thoso from whom these statemcn derived their philosophy Locke, Sid ney; and ViiBe perished as felons or sought refuge in exile. Socrates, who who first inculcated it, drank tho fa tal hemlock, and Cicero fell by the sword of the assassin. Although a printer may be standing still all day, vet in his own way, he is s great traveler, or at least his hand is, as we will show. It is said that a first rate printer will set 8,000 cms a day, or about 24,000 letters. The distance tiaveled over by his baud will average about one foot, going to the boxes in tbo case, and of course tho same dis tance returning, making two feet for every letter he sets. This would make a distance each day of 48,000 feet, or a little moro than i miles, and in the course of a year, lenving out Sundays ami good priutcrs never work ou Sundays the printer's lund travels about oVOOj miles. . JOKI! ON THE U;iITMU KOD MAN. Max Adeler tells this story in the Philadelphia Saturday Pott: Up in JJiossbunr the other day a lightning rod man drove up. in front of a liaix'.eomo edifice standing in the midst of trees and shrubs la Mr. Sum mers, who was sitting oil the steps in front. He accosted Summers aa the owner of the residence, and said i . "I see to have ilo Iielitning rods' on this house.' "No," said Summers. , . , ' "Are you going to put any on?"' "Weil, I hadn't thought of it, re plied Summers. . , "1011. ought to. A tall building like this is very much cxposod. I'd like to run von up bue oJ" mv rods; twisted 'steel, glass fenders, nickel plat ed tips everything complete. May I put one up to show you ? I'll do the job clean." " . ' ' ' ..' Certainly you may if ypu .want to. I haven't tho slightest objection," said Summers. During the next half-hour tho man had his ladders up and at tho end of that time the job was com pled, lie called Summers out into the yard to admire it. He said to Summers : "Now that is all well enough,' but, if it was my house, I'd havo another rod put' ou.'the other side. There's nothing Ijke being protected thorough ly." . ' "That's.,trup," saiil Summers; "it would be better." . "I'll put up another, sliall I ?"'i(sked the mail. " "Why, of course, if you think it's best-," said Sumrticrs. ' '""""'" ' Atcordrtigly the mart went to.-work again"; and soon' had the - rod -'In - its place. ; 1 ?rr ' . ' : i "That's a firiit-.rtttQ.job," Iu5 said to Summers, frsrthey" both etood Vyeing itt "I like such a man us you aie big hearted, liberal,1 not afraid ' to put a dollar 'down for a good thing. There's some pleasure in tlealin' with you. I like you so much that I'd put 11 couple more rods ou that house, ono on the north and one on the south, for almost nothin'." ' ' ' "It would make things safer, I sup pose," said Summers. "Certainly it would. I'd better do it, hadn't I hey ?" "Just ns you think ' proper," said Summers. So the man ran up two more rods, and then came down and said to Sum mer?, "Thero, that's done'. Now let's settle up." - "Do what?" : " "Why, the job's finished, and now I'll take my money." . "You dou't expect mo to pay you, I hope?" - "Of course I do. Didn't you tell mo to put those rods on your houso?'' " "My house; shouted bummers. "Thunder and lightning', I never or dered you to put thoso rods up. It would have been ridicujous. Why, man, this is the court house, and Tin here nailing for the court to assemble. I'm on the jury., ..You seemed to be anxious to rush out your rods, aiid;aa it was none of my business, I let you go on. Pay for it? Come, now, that's pretty good." . . . Tho Bhissburg people say that the manner in which the . lightning rod man tore around town" and swore was fWrfill. But when he got his rods off the court house he lett permanently. Ho1 don't fancy the place. "Here's yer nice roast chek'n," cried an aged colored man, as the cars stop ped ut a North Carolina railroad sta tion. "Here's yer nice roast cjiick'n 'n Li ters, all nice and hot," holding up bis plate and walking the platform. "Where did you get that chicken, uucle?!' asks a passenger. ' Uncle looks nt the intruder sharply, and then turns away, crying: "Here's yer nice roast chick'n, gen tl'm'n, all hot; needn't go in the house for that." - t "Where did you get that ehiken?" repeated tho inquisitive passengor, "Look it yer," says uncle, speakiug privately; "is you from de noif?" "Yes."- "Is you a friend obdocullud man ?" "I hope I am." , "Deii don't you. nebber ask ine where I got dut chick'n again, Here's yer uice roast chick'n, all lot," , The truin started.'

I asked him if it was good to eat. He said, cer tainly it was, and cheap as dirt ut twenty-five ceDts per pound. I asked him why bear meat should be any higher than auy other meat. .He told me bear meat had a peculiar effect on the humau system ; that those eating it would partake for a time, not only of the meat, but of the nature of the Animal ; that benrs were great fellows to bug; that if I was a married man I should buy some for my wife and get her to eat it for supper, and the would undoubtedly hug me. . Now my wife isu't an angel, ; so I bought four pounds and puid that man a dollar 'my last dollar, arid he fold ed it up, rolld a paper around it and put it down in his poeket. Then he slapped his poeket to seo if it was there. He then went 011 -'to- eay that sometime whert 'tlie bile wasn't right tho ment had the contrary effect, and made the wottrn'n growl ; and some times in place of wanting to hug; her husband she would want to busf the man that killed the beer. I told him that I didn't like bear meat, and never did; that I felt siek ; that I owed a mau tho dollar and he would - sue' me if I diJ not pay him right off. But he told me he hud just paid hts internal revenue tax and hadn't ft cent in tho world.

We have fallen upon a piece of newspaper, (apparently about 1837) in which is mentioned the following incident respecting a spirited girl ot seventeen years of ago in Illinois. She was an heiress to nu estate valued at ten thousand dollars, and ran away with a young man who paid his ad dresses to her, taking with her an ac quaintance as bridesmaid. Her guar dian, believing her lover wholly un worthy ot her, refused his consent t her marriage; so she went oft' to bo married at a distanco from home, on tho farther side of tho Mississippi. When the party reached the nvcr, the ice was running furiously, and liny at tempt te cross would be. full of danger. A boat . being procured, the young lady, in momentary expectation of being followed by hergdardian, wished instantly to bo poshed from the shore, and all embarked on4lie peri loos voy age. The party had nearly reached tho hand of. an Island, .about a third of tho distanco. from the , opposite shore, when the current became mora rapid, the cakes of ico very large"; and their situation extremely dangerous. ThcJver, excessively frightened, and torgetfur of everybody but his owr dear self,: bawled out in the most Piteous accent Oh.; I. shall be downed ! I sliall Le drowped !" and bitterly reproached his lady lore 'ns the cause of his probable death. 'She uttored not a word her courage and presence of mind' seemed to- increnso with the peril. A tremenduous caku of ico fairly capsized the boat, ' but it Was so fnrL'fctlmt nil got on it. The lover rendered no nssistnnce nt all. It bore them to the bend of the island, and, ns good fortune would have it. the stream between it and the Missiourt shore was frozen over, And they .cross ed without uilhculty, I bey . reached a tavern nenr the river, and after changing their wet garments and be coming warm nt ft good tire tho lover hinted to the young lady that it was lime now for them to have that- knot tied, as tte magistrate had arrived for that purpose and was in the next room. She gave him a most withering) Jopk of contempt, and declared she . would not unite bcr ' destiny with one who was selfish aud cowardly. It was in vain that he nUernpted by entreaty and argumei-t to' change . her resolu tion ho was immovable and replied to him with scorn. A. few duys after wards she returned to tho liouse of her guardian, thankful that she had escaped marrying a Inan whose only object was her fortune. Her lover returned to this side of the river also, but such showers of. ridicule and coutempt were bestowed upon him that he found it best to decamp, which he did, leav ing behind. him a host of unpaid de mands. Tho story has this moral, that young ladies tLouKl bo careful with whom they attempt to ruu away, A PROPOSITION. . ii ' A New Yorker, in a spirit of wag gery, doubtless, offers at a suggestion to Congress, "That Senators and Jtrp reseutu'.ives shall receive compensation on nnd after tho 4th . day of Martbv 1875, as follows:; When the .balaaco of . trade with foreign countries is against our people, each Senator shall receive $3,000, and each Representa tive $.1,000 per annum, and wheu tho balance of trado with foreign countries is in our people's favor each Senator shall receive 810,000 und each Repre sentative $7,500 per annum. . Iu de termining the balance of trade, ncith cir bullion nor coin shall be counted ns an import or export." Whatever the spirit that prompted ' the sugges tion, it fairly hits the nail on the head. Congress is practically uninterested in this entile issue-of finance. The mem bers receive, each, a certain salary, nnd duwdlo time away when the in terests of the country are aetuully suffering. Could its members be in terested, in the financial welfare of the nation, by having their salaries de pend ou it, we would have, very soon, an entirely diirerentcondition of aflkirs. It is entirely feasible, within fiveyearsl to resumo specie payments, by so leg islating as to give the country an op portunity to provide for itself. Wheth er this is duiio or not, one great need nt piescut is to determiuo promptly what shall be done in relation to thinn ers. If anything or nothing, let it bo declared, that the business of - tho country may adjust itself to the situa tion. Wo regard tho non-aetiou of Congress, on Iho finances, ns the great est misfortune the country has at thi.i time. Jc is not 11 wrong proposition,, if this is to continue, tli.it salaries shall be reduced.
