THE TRUTH LOTH NEVER DIE.
Tho' Kingdoms. States and Empires fall,
And dynasties decay ;
Though cities crumble into dust,
And nations die away ;
Though gorgeous tower and palaces
In heaps of ruin lie.
Which once were proudest of the proud,
The Truth doth never die!
We'll mourn not o'er the eilent past ;
Its glories are not fled.
Although its men of high renown,
Be numbered with the dead.
We'll grieve not o'er what earth has lost,
It cannot claim a sigh ;
For the wrong aloue hath perished,
The Trutii Doth never die '.
All of the past is living still
All that is good and true ;
The rest hath perish d, and it did
Deserve to perish too !
The world rolls ever round and round,
And time rolls ever by !
And the wrong is ever rooted up,
But tho Truth doth never die !
attends funerals with a hearse.

A Record "Worth Preserving.
Pennsylvania hasluevcr devoted thatatten
tion to her local resources'and interests which
distinguish other States, and which often
gives lesser Commonwealths an advantage
over States rich in all the material of labor
and resources. Most of the States have .sta
tistical bureaus, in which a faithful record is
preserved ot tncir resources, of the capaeitv
of the people in the different portions there
of tor taxation.and of theextentof the wealth
of such States at large. The business reader
wnl at once see the advantage which such
records give tie States where they are pre-
erved. e now see that the states, thus
careful of the record of their natural wealth
are exhibit ing a like respect lor the records
of those who went forth to do buttle, and it
need be, d;e m defence of the National hon
or and safety. The record to which we al
lude is kept by the clerk of the court in the
different counties in the Western States.and
is a faithful history of the enlistment, com
pany and regiment, if killed, in what battle,
with the date thereof, and the honorable
discharge of each soldier surviving, who was
a citizen of such counties, respectively.
Such a record does not involve much labor.
The friends of those who perish in battle are
expected to furnish the clerks in question
with the necessary information, while the
soldiers who survive and have been honora
bly discharged, have only to present their
discharges to secure a place on the records,
where the history of their services will be
preserved for the respect and the gratitude
of future generations.
We are not aware that such a record is
preserved in any of the counties in this
State. Its usefullness and justice, however,
commeuds it-elf at once to the judgment of
all who have any pride in locaf history, or
who have any appreciation of" the valor of
those to whose labor we are indebted for a
home and a Government. We commend
the subject, therefore, to the clerks of courts
in different counties throughout this State.
Aside from its historical value is established
the true extent of the warlike services of
each coil ntv, it is likely to become of busi
ness value in disposing of litigations likely to
occur in a hundred shapes in connection
with those who perished in the war for the
Union.
THE SUrrBAGE QUESTION.
How it is Controlled by the Constitutions of
the Tree States.
n e recently, in an editorial, referred to
the history of the franchise question in the
late slave otates, snowing how it was exer
cised in such States, and how in the course
of time it was restricted until the black man
was entirely disfranchised. Wo present,for
comparison, a statement ot the provisions in
tne constitutions or the free States regulat
mg the same privilege :
MAINE,
by her Constitution, adopted October 29th
lftiy, gives the ballot to every male citizen
..a ..1- IT ', It.. . , .
oi uie uniceu states ot tne ageot 21 years
ana upwards, excepting paupers, persons un
der guardianship, and Indian not taxed,
Having resided in the btate three months.
But persons in the military, naval or marine
service, quartered iu the State, and students
attending a seminary of learning, do not ac
quire a residence thereby. (Includes ne
groes. )
NEW HAJISIIIRE.
by her Constitution, adopted 1792, still in
lorce, gives tne baiiot to every male inhab
nam or iwenty-one vears. excent nauners
and perse ns excused from paying tax at t heir
own request, freehold property qualifica
tions were tormerly reouired lor officeholders,
but these are abolished. New Hanishire
never excluded colored men from voting or
holding office.
VERMONT.
which abolished slavery by her Constitution,
adopted July 4th, 1793. declared in her Bill
ot Iiights that all freemen, having sum
c.ent evidence of common interest with an
attachment to the community, have a right
to elect omcers and bo elected into office.
ly article 21, every man twenty-one
years or age, who has resided one vear in
the State, who behaves himself ouietlv and
peaceably, and who will take an oath to vote
'so as in your conscience vou shall iudge
will most conduce to the best good', ot the
State, may vote. In Vermont, therefore,
a white man is as good as a negro if he
ehavos himself as we!i": not otherwise.
MASSACHUSETTS.
by her original Constitution, adopted in
1760, gave the ballot to every male person
twenty-one years of age, resident in the
Commonwealth, having an annual income of
three pounds from a trochoid, or-any estate
worth 00. By the amendment now in force
the ballot belongs to every male citizen, 21
years ot age (except paupets and persons
under guardianship, ) who shad have paid
any tax assessed within two years, or who
hall be exempted from taxation. But by
Art. 20 of the Amendments, "No person
hall have the right to' vote, orbeeligableto
office under the Constitution of this Com
monwealth, who shall not be able to read
the Const, tution iu the English language.
and write his name : Provided, however,
hat the provision of this amendment shall
not apply to any person prevented by phys
ical disability irom complying with its requi
sitions, nor to any person who now has the
lght to vote, nor to any persons who shall
e sixty years ol age or upwards at the tune
us amendment shad take c fleet. Massa-
husctts. therefore, never excluded any man
oui votiug on account of color.
PENNSYLVANIA,
gives a vote to "every white freeman," of
4',,n . ... I. 1 ; 3 . j - ' .i
,iu" "6, iius resiueu one year in me
State and ten days in the election district,
and has within two years paid a tax, except
inat a once qualified voter returning into the
State after an absence which disqualifies
hiin from voting, regains his vote by a six
months' residence, and except that white
free citizens under twenty-two and over 21
vote without paying taxes.
OHIO,
by-her Constitution of. 1851, limits the elec
tive franchise to "every white male citizen"
of the United States, of full age, resident
one year in the State, excluding persons in
the military and naval service and idiots and
insane persons. But, the courts of Ohio
having held that every person of one-half
white blood is a "white male citizen" with
in the Constitution and that the burden of
proof is with the challenging party, to show
that the person is more than half black,
which is impracticable, we believe 'iat in
practice, negroes in Ohio vote without re
striction.
INDIANA,
gives the right of suffrage to "every white
male citizen of the United States." of full
age and six months' residence iu the State,
and every white male of foreign birth and
full age . who has resided one vtar in the II-
Eesources of the Mormons.
A Utah correspondent of the Springfield
ikepubltcan gives a very nattering account
of the agricultural and industrial resources
of Utah territory, under the rule of the
Mormons: "The policy of the Mormon
leaders has been to confine this people to ag
riculture ; to develop a self-sustaining rural
population, quiet, frugal, industrious, scat
tered in small villages, and so manageable
by the church organization. So far this
policy has been admirably successful ; ar d it
has created an industry and a production
here in the centre of the western half of our
continent, of immense importance and val
ue to the future growth ot the region. A
few of the simpler manufactures have been
introduced of late but these are not in con
flict with the general policy. There are
three cotton mills, confined to' cotton
yarns, however, almost exclusively, and one
woolen mill. Probably there are a hundred
flouring mills iu the territory also. Flour,
the grains, butter, bacon, dried peaches,
home-made socks and varus, these are the
chief articles produced in excess and sold to
emigrants and for mining regions in the
north. Probably two hundred thousand
pounds of dried peaches were sold for Idaho
and Montana last year. Hides are nlentv :
there is a gocd tannery here, and also a man
ufactory of boots and shoes. Cotton grows

A Tale of Eebel Cruelty.
Among the. visitors at the Freedmen's
Bureau ou Monday, soliciting relief was a
footless negro, whose story almost surpasses
belief were it not that its authenticity i es
tablished beyond a doubt by corroborative
evidence. His story, ui substance, is as fol
lows :
"Just previous to the breaking out of the
war, he was employed by a Dr. Lee, living
near Washington, in Maryland, who com
pensated him for his services, he being a
freeman. Iu 1S49 the negro was persuaded
by ,he Doctor to accompany him to Georgia,
Irom which State he afterward removed to
Tennessee, where he kept the Knoxville
Hotel. In the town of that name, in 1SG3,
this same Dr Lie hired the negro to a Capt.
N. G. G'liimon, a Quartermaster in the
Confederate States army at Jonesborough.
Here he was cmploed for eight or ten
months, when he attempted to escape to
our lines, in doing which he was apprehend
ei ana returned to Uaptaiu u., who imme
diately took him in person to Dr. Williams,
in charge of the general hospital at that
place, and ordered him (Dr. W. ) to ampu
tate the legs of the "d-d nigger," to pre
vent him from running away. In compli
ance witi this demand his legs were that
night amputated just above the ankles, and
his legs left undressed by the surgeon. In
the morning Dr. , on visiting the hospi
tal, found the negro still alive, and after ex
pressing his surprise with an oath said that
he had intended to kill him. He then or
dered the negro to the house of an old slave
woman, where the negro was found recov
ering from the amputation, on the entry of
our u oops.
An Abolition Society exists in Spain,
founded for the purpose of aiding in the a
bolition of slavery in every part of the world.
Spain is one of the few countries which al
lows its dependencies to deal in human traf
fic; and there is no country in which a so
ciety like this will hnd more .profitable em
ployment. They have a large task before
them, but the judicious assaults they make
upon this "established institution," show
that they understand their work.
Discharged soldiers can not have it too
frequently impressed upon them to keep
their discharge papers. The brokers and
speculators who buy them for a song expect
to sell them back, at an immense profit, when
Congress shall have appropriated lands o
the use and benefit of volunteers honorably
duehargsd the service. -

KIIODE ISLAND,
by Constitution of 1842. gives the right of
suffrage: 1. To every male citizen, of full
age, one year in the State, six months in the
town, owning real estate worth $131, or rent
ing for 7 per annua. 2. To every native
male citizen of full age two years in the
State, six months iu the town, who is duly
registered, who has paid $1 tax, or done mi
litia service within the year. Hence in
Rhode Island a native negro votes without
a property qualification, while a foreign
born white citizen can not.

or black, who were freemen at the adoption
of her constitution, (1818,) and subsequent

These are the Xew England States, Xew
York and Ohio. Of the remainder, two,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania, are strongly
"Democratic," and the rest framed their

nation. Indiana. Michigan, Wisconsin,

Chinamen.
The "Wade and Davis Manifesto.
Capenter the artist in his reminiscences of
Mr. Lincoln, relates the followinc :
Last year, upon the appearance of what
was known as the "Wade and Davis mani
festo, an intimate friend and supporter.
who was very indignant that such a docu
ment should have lieen nut forth iust nre-
vious to the 1 residential election, took occa
sion to animadvert very severely upon the
course that prompted it. "It is not worth
fretting about," said the President. "It re
minds me of an old acquaintance, who hav
ing a son 01 scientinc turn, bought mm a
microscope. The boy went around experi
menting with the glass upon evervthiu
that came in his way. One day, at the din
ner table, his father took up a piece of
cheese. "Don't eat that father," said the
boy "It is full of wrigglers." "My son," re
plied the old gentleman, taking at the same
time a huge bite; "let 'em wriggle; I can
stand it it they can.
Trouble Among the Oherokees.
The St. Louis Dispatch of August 4th
says that there were loyal as well as rebel
Indians among the Cherokees, and the di
vision is causing some trouble since the war
is ended.
A few days ago a body of about one hun
dred rebel Oherokees, fully armed, came to
Fort Gibson, under the parole which they
had received from Colonel Campbell, to see
what arrangement could be made with tho
loyal part of the tribe in regard to their
own return. During the war many houses
and farms were destroyed, and the loyal In
dians, remaining masters of the (situation,
possessed themselves of the encmys proper
ty and farms hi place of their own which
had been destroyed. The rebel delegation,
under the treaty 'iitered into with Colonel
Campbell, demand restitution of theirprop
erty and restoration of their former right
and privileges. The loyal Indians .sem
bled at the same time in council at Talequah,
their capital, and utterly refused to haveany
thing to do with them, or grant their re
quest. Here the matter stands, and there is
a fair prospect of new and jenous difficul
ties arising between the hostile parties, not
only among the Cherokees, but other tribes
also who are in similar positions, and which
will take all the tact and authority of gov
ernment to settle satisfactorily to the interest
of all concerned.
Andrew Johnson's Memory.
It is but a short time since a distinguish
ed Senator called upon the President. A.
delegati-m of Conervatives had just let thim.
Turning to the Senator, he said: "I won
der if those persons, who but now passed
out, immagined that I had forgot the power
and the party to which I owe my elevation.
There was not a man iu that delegation that
would nt have united in offering a reward
for my scalp a few years ago, and now they
talk to me as if I owed everything to them.
I guess they'll find I have a memory."
A well known editor of a prominent
Northern journal said to the President :
"The Democracy say you will yet be found
with them. That you have always been a
good Democrat, and will always so remain."
"Do they," responded Mr. Johnson.
"Well, sir, vou are at liberty to tell all such
gentlemen that, while, as President, I shall
endeavor to drop any partisan character, I
certainly am not prepared to do more than
to vrat for those who despitefully use me.
I think they stand in need of prayers, and
it's all I can do for them."

Mammoth Cigar for Grant.
A correspondent relates the
incident of Lieutenant General Grant's
passage through Brunswick, MAine : An
old man an inveterate smoker had learn
ed that the General sometimes, in fact fre
quently, smokes, set his genious to work to
