BY DAVID OVER.
From Ihe .A eat York Tribune.
Among the lies of the day most persistent
ly : 'nd wifely reiterated is that which charg
es the Republicans with prolonging, or seek
iug to continue, Uie existing troubles in Kan
sas for the sake or in the hope of making
political capital therefrom. Let us confront
falsehood with recorded, undeniable
fatsi..
I• The Republicans iu the last Congress,
yy the h ip of some Members of other par
ties who dared not rote against so mani
festly j ist a proposition, originated and car
ried the Kansas I.vyestigation, Ilad theif
ant.agonists wished the facts cfO'lVed aud
authcHtieally set forth, yet feared that the
House investigating would not
i' -rejt'ut them fairly, they might feadily have
sent out another Investigating Committee
from the Senate, to present their side of the
question. Tirey did rfcihing of tlie kind,
because tbey knew that the material facts, if
fairly set forth, would mike an iiitpffession
on tbc c-miuiuuiry faVorable to tL'fe Free-
State fluse. Tuey strenuously resisted in
vestigation, because they knew that Its gen
eral result imtr-t tell against their side.
The investigation hiving beet! ttnde an^
its results submitted, the Hepuhlica#3 in the
House unanuttously urged and voted far the
a..u'tssiuti iii Kansas into the Union Uudt r
her Free iStatti Constitution. Did this lo'ok
like prolotiiiing the agitiiion' Hid Con
gress done What the Hepullieans thus pro
posed, the National agitation respeetftfg Kan
sas would liave ceased with tlie nbffae of
Federal power which causoc' it And so
just And pacifying was this propositibh that,
though t ! .e Kepublicans were a lui utility of
the Honse, it finally prevailed in that body.
All the llcpublieats present voted for it,
with some Members of other parties Of
course, it Was defeated in 'he Senate, because
Slivery controls that, bud., 'out it received
i
all ilie lv;pubiicm votes thure. We defy
any iiiau to gite a reisou for rejecting this
proposition uot ■'•nudcu in devotion or sub
serviency to Slavery. Woo can d oubt that,.

ItOJUSl'if ADVFATI UL.
During the latter part of the J'tiga of
Louis XV, of France, masquerades were iu
high estimation, and public ones were often
given, at immense oust, on court days and
other occasions of rejoicing. To these lat
ter, persons of nil ranks, who could afford
oiiMtmiw the tiekc. weio udmiiisiblc
and accordingly reueOiivres frequently took
place a' tlienij and exhibitions, almost a*
curious hi the way of disguise;- as in tho us"
sumption of character.
On one occasion, a uieCe of the Duke ol
X mours, Madame La Valiiere, a vrounn of
high rank and fashion, being accident-i'v
separate 1 froui her party upon u very
crowded staircase, was opportunely assisted
bv a stranger of remarkable activity and
address. He was rtusked and cloaked to
tlm tech, but lie possessed a handsome fig

The stranger readily jw?ettd.
-•But, perhaps, i: is the qame -eii'v'' coh

That v.'& not exietly the <•*•">. for tho
stranger, though ike persisted i* vtffusiug To
unmask, alluded at once to details which
eould scarcely come within tle twjwledge
even of an ordinary acquaintance.
i? truly astonishing!' exclaimed tlie
lady. 'Will you really wot tell tut to v. Loin
I aut so deeply indebted?*
'lnstantly, if your ladyship mm•nan J* it;
tumuli should 1 bave beea so fortjua e as
to be useful to yoi>, grant tne the favor not
to ask. But see, Madame, yon are already
misted—your parly is ajipruaeLiu* in search
of you.'
'At least, sir,' said Madame In* Va-ilicre.
whose cariosity as well a? gratitude wa* ;
imw sttotigly aroused, 'promise tue that 1 j
shall see you to-morrow at my house to diu- |
ner. I liavc oul.y a small p*rty of four .
friends who will dttte with me.'
•They arc relatives*'
'You are right, they are so—but I shall
be glad, nevertheless, to iutroduce yoa.—
Will you promise!'
'I not only promise, Madame,' replied
the straugar, turniug to a hCaufet, 'to at
tend you with the utmost pleasure, but tUit
1 will present you with a gla*s of 'he same
kind of vviue t-x-uiorrow at your own table,
as this which 1 now offer, on condition that
you will drittk it with me.'
I'he lady iustautfy accepted, with great
gaiety, aud, according to the Fieuch cus
tom, pledged the stranger by touching the
lips of his glas* with that of her own. Her
friends now drew noar; and the 6tranger,
bowing profoundly, wa* f.oou lost iq the
giddy multitude.
Madautc La Vailiere slept not a wink
that night, the next morning found her in a
' state of the most feverish curiosity. Bur-
Ipruing! that she was not even able to guess
who lie was, nor which of all her acquaint
ance it coul l be. But the dinner hour was
approaching— thfl servants ha 1 orders to
admit any stranger who might present fitm-
I self. A lew hours more, and the uiystfery
' would be ended.
i The dijtner hour at iongth came, bet no
! stranger had made his appearance. The
lad* bad previously announced to her friends
that fihe expected a visitor who was uuknown
to them. The enraged t/ief tie c uitise had
already mtituated that has delicately season
ed dishes would alt be spaded, that bis pa
tience was i;ow exhausted;. and that his re
spousibility tuugt ceasu. Still tlm expected
visitor did not appear.
'Are you certain, Louis,' ffeiid the lady
to her servant iu waiting, 'that no gentle
man lias culled'?'
'lt was impossible.' lie rahi, tht lie
could have called without Louis haviug seen
him.'
Dinner at length oofinnenced, anil Mad
ame La Vallicre was bLsciil and fretful,—
The first course, however, was got through,
and she called, according to bcr custom,
for a glass of wine.
The valet wjio was iu atteudauce imme
diately presented her with a glass of Saint
Forage.
'How stupid you aie!' cried the peevish
.ady. -Duu't you know that it is Dor
deuux—the other wine—that 1 always
take?'
'O, your ladyship's pardon!' submissively
replied Louis, adding, in ( low voice, 'hut
it Wits this sort which your ladyship last
night puruiiitod that I rhooli present you!'
A VEUITABLL TVitK.
The Defterdar, as he is always called,
was the sou-in-low of Mehewet Art, uud the
realisation of all the stories of Turkish bru
tality and tyranny. His palace is in from
of the ED.efci;ib, hut since his death has
passed into other Lands.
He it was who heard the complaint of a
poor woman that a man had drahk ttijft
From bet measure and then refuse.! i . pay
Iter.
The uinn denied it entirely.
'When was it?' demanded the Dffrev-
Jar.

'W ell now, woman —listen—l will rip
this man open. If 1 find the milk in him
it is well—y ft shall be p-tid. If not, I
will rip you open in the same way.'
It was done Instantly on the floor of Lis
room by his mvti, he and the woman look*
ing on eomplue-ntly. The milk was found
in tire in an'-.- stomach, an 1 the Fefterdat
ordered the value of the milk, ten paras, oi
about one pent, to ha taken from the dead
man's gown ami paid to the woman.
In another instance, a tax collector Lad
levied on a poer man's Cow, his sole posses
sion, for one cf the erroneous taxes of Me-
Leiuet Ali. The cow was worth two hun
dred piaster*, Tin tax was forty, 'liio
collector took the (row, sent for a butcher,
uitde hiiu kill the Cow and cut it into ten
pieces, and then sent for teu men and fore*
cd them to take aud pay fur the pieoes sis
piastre* ©smb. It- was cheap meat, but they
would never have touched it except UtiJ{! r
force. .
The man eompkintrd to the Dsfterdar
that Lis covr, worth two hundred, had been
in this manner sold for sixty, and by 'he
oppression of the collector be was lew des
titute. The Defterdar sent boat to the
village, and brought all the parties ami wit
nesses to his palace.
It was a clear case of oppre-.-tort.
'llpw dared you kill this uiriu® coy.?
said ho to the butcher,.
I wua afraid of the collector. Lie mad e
me do it.;
'Do, then, tvLat I toll you. Kill that
man, the collector, aud cut him into teu
pieces,'
It was done oa uud every man
who had hud the beef at six piu*teis, was
made to buv a piece of the collector at
twenty-, and so th poor man had the value 1
of his <-uw.
These instances arc both ou the side of j
justieo—but others, countless stories of lit*
cruelties are told, which arc perfectly relia
ble.
