Rumplng.llooslers Cheating Moxa Morton! rMoxa is ambitious as well as rotten Moxa aspires to higher honors than those of the Gubernatorial chair!
Moxa has 110 desire to be" translated like Enoch. or-eaught up to Ileaven in a chariot of fire!
He will be a fifey translation, perhaps like ancient "martyrs he will pass through the flafncs, but until his body is purged with something stronger than mercury, and his sin-curscd carcass with medicaments more potent than drugs, he will be unable to pass the vigilant guardian, St. Peter, or drag his faltering footsteps along the golden pavement of the. New Jerusalem
But Moxa doeg not wish nor care to think of a futurity beyond that gladdened by the favors of his approving disciples, and though pain racks his frame and corruption and disease course with the scanty blood, through his shrunken veins, still lie appeared before audiences of fanatics and bigots, appealing to them for sympathy by his physical debility and moral lack of honor, humanity, and charity for greater and higher rewards.
His ambition spurred hitn to display hi&'ishattercd and battered wreck of manhood on many a Rump platform throughout the Hoosier State—a face blotched, spattered, marred with unsightly spo'ts, showing the terrible nature of the foul plague dwelling witfiui,—like the smoke, flame and lava from a volcano, indicating the raging but pent-up hell beneath.
Sympathy was what he was after—and good Christian men and women looking upon the moral leper pitied his broken down condition, little thinking or imagining what orgies and debauches. WIUUI 1II BO liuiilUlca wurK. And SITTING in a chair, because his frail pipestems of legs robbed by physical excesses of flesh, marrow, pith, and strength, would no longer support the weight of sin cankering, festering, decomposing within his vital tenement,—with death in its most, horrible and loathsome shape, looking out from his eyes, he poured forth torrents of invective, hate, fanaticism and treason! It was as if a corpse, wearing the mildew of the grave, bearing the traces of advancing corruption,. had stepped out of his rotting coffin to launch forth the venom' imprisoned by a stoppage of the vital current to breathe forth the waitings and the curses, the tortured shrieks and horrid blasphemies of damned and lost souls!
But Moxa wishes to be a Senator of the United States? From the Senate to the Executive Chair! How easy, how natural how practicable the transaction! And those who desire his help against the Constitutional Union Democracy, promised, flattered, cajoled!
The election is over! By lying, treaeh

Who Ato- Rnger Williams?
.. This'Ms a startling question, yet the following, accounts, for which a Hartford paper is responsible, seems to fix it as certain that somebody has been guilty of' canibalisui in "the second decree," and it also attnounccs a curious Horticultural fact:' 'Ninety years after his death, in 1771. steps wore taken to erect to him some suit.ible monument, but the storms of tlie Revolution caiue^on and the work was forgotten. But recently the question has been agitated anew, and Williams mity yet at least have some outward sign to mark his greatness and* perpetuate his name. During a period~of 183 years, not even a rough stone has been set up to mark the grave of the founder of RlioJe Island, till the precise locality of his grave^B&d been almost forgotten, and could-'Only b&ascertained after the'most carei'ul investigation. Suffice it to say, however, the spot was found and the ex-: humation made a shoct time ago—though there was little to exhume. On scraping off the turf from the surface of the ground the dim outlines of seven graves, contained within less than one square rod. revealed the burial ground of Roger Williams. In Colonial times each family had its own burial ground, which was usually near the family residence. Three of* these seven graves were those of children. the remaining four were adults.
The easterly grave was identified as that of Mr. Williams. O11 digging down into the "eharnel house," it was found that everything had passed into oblivion. The shapes of the coffins could only be traced
fined. The rusted remain? of the binges
and nails, with a few fragments of wood
and a single round knot, was all that
could be gathered from his grave. Jn the grave of his wife there was not a trace of anything save a single lock of braided hair which had survived the lapse of more than 180 years. Near the grave stood a venerable apple tree, when and by whom planted is not known. This tree had sent two of its main roots into the graves of Mr and Mrs. Williams. The larger root had pushed its way through the earth till it readied the precise spot occupied by the skull of Roger Williams. There making p. turn as if going round the skull, it followed the direction of the back bone to the hips. Here it divided into two branches, sending que along each into two branches, sending qneuiong eaen

TIIK Radical organs arc amusing their readers with such nonsense as that the recent elections were the death-blow of the Democratic party, and an overwhelming popular verdict against the policy of the President. Now, every one who has examined the election returns from the States referred to is aware of the fact that, so far from showing any decline in the strength of the Democratic party, there was a very considerable absolute gain in almost every instance. If the elections proved anything, it was that the Jacobin party is losiug ground, and that it is on the downhill road to perdition.—
Tho Democrats, it is true, were not able to carry these States, but they were able to make heavy gains in the popular vote. The Radical majorities built up during the war were too large to be overcome in a single contest, but the result shows that our party still possesses tremendeous power and great vitality. It is not dead, nor anywhere near it. It will live to put the last relic of Radicalism below ground. and to heap a weight of opprobrium upon its grave which will secure the world against the possibility of its rusurrection.

Almost, the first official act of Napoleon as President of the French Republic was to send an army to protect the Pope and save his temporal possessions from being annexed to Italy. After keeping a garrison there seventeen years, he at last leaves the Holy Father to his fate, and withdraws his protection. Italy is to be united from the Mediterranean to the Alps, and nothing now but the* absorption of the Papal territories stands in the way. It iudieates the changed condition of European affairs when the three great Catholic powers of the world, Franco, Austria and Spain, look 011 quietly and sec the Pope driven to the wall so far a^ his te'niporal supremacy is concerned. But the results of the German war were more fatal to the Pope than even to Austria.

While the Pacific Railroad excursionists were en route up the Missouri river, 011 the steamer Denver, Mr. George Frauds Train was challenged to a Chinese dance, which he agreed to perform, provided one of the negroes would consent to follow his gyrations and genuflections. If he depended upon tho sbyness of the Africans to make his tender a secure one, he was disappointed, for a grinning Ethiop came forward, and confronted the mock saltatory Celestial. The Chinese^ dance, according to Train, consists of" squatting and throwing forward one jeg after the other with surprising rapidity, while the arms are alternately thrust' in front, behind, at each side, up and down.

Train pursued his erratic dance to tho end, amid stunning acclamation, aud an acknowledgmcnt from the most radical that, on this occasion, the so callfed white xace was in the ascendant.
