"Hut if the law of variation is admitte.l as
it is and must, be by every scientific inquires,
worthy of tho name, the negro takes his
place among the decendants of Noah, tunang
the beneficiaries of Ctcaren, for whom the
blood of Christ was shed.
"The human species, Like every o ther,

in certain permanent forms it yields to mil

it mit.ht-timent. The Seekel pear the Corcord
grape, the over breed of sheep, the Dur
ham I 041 Devon breed of cattle, are
modern and well-known instances of such
variation. A variety at first has a tendency ,
to revert to its parent stock, but when once
it assumes the character of permanence.—
This principle, so familiar to the hortieultur
ist and the stock raiser, affords a clue amid
the intricacies ethnological science. As
lower nature changes so do ours. And as
we can produce changes in theta by our ca
price or our intelligent will, so that an ani
mal or plant which varies a little in its wild
state cart be matte to yield many vari e ti e s
when domesticated, Fe we can change our
own race by the habits we form, the

mere use of terms does not satisfy us that
the right of CorigNss to do this, and much
more of the rune sort, is derived from its
obligation to guarantee a republican form of
government to the respective State , .

;iutua. and the creation of a dictatorship,
with a soldier as its ooeupant, scarcely har
monize with these principles. rho fathers,
too, were more tolerant in their interpreta
tions of what constitutes a republican form
of government. They furnished no prece•
dent fur the absolutism by which Mr. Bing
ham would force upon States the views of
a Congressional majority without regard for
the will, the opinions or the interests of
their white population.
The same want of bottom is traceable in
all the arguments delivered in support of
the bill. They were all either rhapsodies,
signifying little or unblushing defences of a
policy which puts .no limit to legislative
usurpation.
How the measure will fare in the Senate
we shall prohably soon know. We dare not
hope that the reputed moderation of that
body will so far prevail as to modify provi
sions so palpably at variance with the prin
uiples of the Republican party. The zeal
of partisanship for the time outruns pru
dence, and ilrives patriotism in the bock

Shock Jag Outrage by Aritgreem.
About cloven o'clock on Friday eight,
five wigwam catme to the store of my. M. A.
Muldotw. in Darlington District, Mouth
Carolina, and rapping up the clerk, Mr. D.
Sus, asked admittance. Mr. Sags enquir
ed who they were, and receivingthe response
that they were friends eotue to trade with
hint, opened the door of the store. Four
invites, armed with double-barreled shot
guns, entered, andplaoing their weapons in
the corner of the room, commenced exam
ining goods, remarking that they were in
the employ of the railroad, had just been
paid off, and Ileidred to make purchases to
the extent of ten dollars each. About fifty
dollars worth of goods were selected, when
one of the number asked Mr. Mugs if' he

with of Mr. fi 4 ugs, who was in au adjoining

being excited by it, she went out of the
back door to the house of a gentleman nam
ed Wyndham, and requested him to come
to the store and in case any trouble should

he could. Mr. Wyndhatn complied taking'
a gun with him, and us he reached the store 1

Now. .1i• the. v was a • a -helot',

rich. Aso. Mr. Diel y had a pretty good
share el' man's vanity. Ile nas fully cote •
vinced that to obtain the heart and hand of
pretty Nan he had only to declare
himself: This was the qnestion upon which
he had been pondering a full hour loy the ,
kitchen dock. Should he marry Nan filar-'
ris, or shouldn't he? To be sure she had
blue eyes awl hair like spun gold, and her
checks wer e rosy as winter apples, and she
had the most tempting little rosebud of :
month in the world ; but then, the was s o
flighty, always up to some mi.-chief or other:
and thrifty Mrs. 'Fisher, Mr. New's house
keeper, had te..e expressed her belief that
"whoever nen rh.d Nan Harris, might as
well marry a kitten." But then, again, Mr, ;
Digby um very mud' in love with merry,
blue-eyed Nan, awl —and---just then be hap- ;
petted to glance over the garden wall, and
who should he see but Nan herself, in the •
prettiest of pink calicos, and a coquetish,
blue-ribboned "sundown," while the little
tin pan in her hand told that she was going
strawborrying.
That glimpse of his divinity decided bite.
Little darling'. what if' she was mischiev
ous, and wilful, wasn't Al the prettiest lit
tle witch in SimendA ilk? and wasn't all
the laws in love with her? and wouldn't
some of thew marry her if he didn't'? The
last consideration was a stunner, and settled
the question ; and giving utterance to the
energetic exclamation chronicled above, Mr.
Digby entered the house fully resolved to
settle the bargain the very next day. lie
thought of his broad acres and heavy hank
account, and did not doubt it would be easy
to win the consent of farmer Harris and
Aunt Nancy.
The next day Mr. Digby spent exactly two
hours and thirteen minutes getting hitnsel'
up in killing style for the ordeal which, Cr h

"0 yes, sum, Miss Nancy was in the front
room," and the girl ushered the now trem
bling Mr. Digby into the pleasant little sit.
ting room, which looked so pleasant and in
viting, with its toll lounge and white table
cover, standing out plainly from the twilight
shadows that made everything else look so
dini and indistinct.
Ile plucked up a sort of desperate eour•
age, however, at the sight or the pink dress
and white apron sitting by the winilow, and
approaching the wearer of said pink dress
and white apron, ho immediately came to the
point, as follows:
"Mies Nancy, I have called to—hem—to
—hem—to tell you of the—ahem— hem

pardon) entirely broke down, and sat look•
ing at his theienbs, 1140xileaaly wondering
what to say net,
As the lady didn't speak, he concluded to
try n!viiir nml, re•ohin! 1 , 1 In plain, he

blurted out bluntly, "bliss Nancy, will you
marry me?"
There I it was out. his Lent gave
jump, as ho heard a whisper "yes," and a
hand rtnle softly into his. Leaning impul
sively forward, he kisaed her cheek or her
umo, ho couldn't tell which, it was so
dark.
There issued a little Fly giggle, and "0 fib
now ! Hiram, dear; ain't you ashamed," iu
the voice of Aunt Nancy I
"Holy Moses, have I been and gone and
proposed to the old maid?" Mr. Vigil
would have said as well as thought, it' be
bad dared. Rut he didn't, so he grabbed
his hat, and muttering something about "an
engagement, ma'am." he jerked open a
dour, and rushed into the pastry.
"La, now !limn]," said 3liss Nancy the
elder, at he made a frantic drive at another
door, "don't I,- so 'ipso; folks generally
speed the women to be the flustered one.'
lly this time, the eveited Mr. I)ighy bad
succeeded in finding the right oloorand rush
ing unceremoniously out, he nearly over
turned a young gentleman with a very black
moustache, who stood by the rate with his
atm around the waist of 3liss Nancy Cie
younger, who didn't seem to object to this
familiarity at all.
Mr. itigby gathered himself up, looked
savagely at the young man, elevated his nose
and with a very stiff, "Exmc me, sir,"
walked frigidly past Tutu Warren, whom he
