The tub thrown to the Democratic whale by the Cincinnati Convention, wa3 the timid indorsement of the doctrine of States' Rights, by the fling at " centralized power" in the fourth resolution of the platform ; and there is no doubt that so long as the present generation of Democratic politicians last3, the dogma of States' Rights will plague the politics of the country, and instil into the public mind lessons of latent nullification and treason, though acquiescing in the inevitable past. This doctrine, however, rests on the absurdity that the past is greater than the whole; and is utterly untenable when exposed by the light of history, from the formation of the Confederation to the establishment of the Union. The States naver had any legal right to levy war. lay imposts, or act in other sovereign matters. As colonics of Great Britain they had nothing but local powers, and these were greatly subject to the will of Governors appointed by England. The old Continental Congress issued a declaration of independence, which gave the United States all the powers of a sovereign nation, and guaranteed the States full and free jurisdiction in all local matters not inconsistent with a Republican form of Government. But they as. sumed other powers at times, and a great dsal of trouble ensued on account of the inability of the Government to enforce its just rights under the Articles of the Confederation; and the constitution was adopted to form "a more perfect union," and to prevent the ruin which would have resulted from the schemes of ambitious men in assuming powers for the State3 which they had never had as colonies or States. There have always been State rights menwho claimed that the States could nullify act3 of Congress or recede from the Union at pleasure; but when the practical issue came, many of these saw the folly of the position, and fought nobly to sustain the Union. The theory of a united and strong government has been well tested and abundantly sustained, and we can see no good reason for the rebels and copperheads taking up arms against it again, or its becoming a disturbing element in future political con tests. GREELEY S DID. Mr. Greeley says he will make no difference between his supporters. It is assumed that this is a bid to the Democratic party, that there shall be a fair division of the offices between Democrats and Liberal Republicans. Possibly this may be the limit of his liberality; but there is no certainty, if we remember Mr. Greeley's assertion, that there is no distinction between the men who performed their duty by fighting for tU Union, and those who thought they were doing their duty by fighting against it. That the late rebels will undertake to secure the same treatment of rebel wounded as of Union wounded, can not be doubted, if they succeed in getting a controlling delegation in Congress, and have the power to demand the co-operation of the Democratic members of the North. "What is there to prevent this, if Mr. Greeley's policy is carried into effect? There is no constitutional provision against it, and a bare majority in Congress, with a President to act with it, could set a precedent, making treason tremble, and en-' tailing great financial burden on the country. Mr. Greeley has taken the position that Mr. Davis and Mr. Breckinridge and .Mr. Ori.D are entitled to all the privij leges of General Sherman, General SiiEitfc dan, or General Butler; that they should be allowed to sit in Congress, be Governors of States, be in the President's Cabinet; and for that matter, elected to the Presidency itself. That Lee and Stonewall Jackson are entitled to the same remembrance, and glory now, that are given to Thomas and McPhekson. If it is true of the leaders that there is nothing to be remembered against them, but only their bravery and skill remembered for them, and they are to suffer 110 disabilities oa account

of their participation in the rebellion, how can Mr. Greeley say that the poor man who served as a private, and lost an arm or leg, shall suffer the displeasure of the Government? If the officer is feted and paid a large salary, as a Government office, why shall not the private also be remembered? On Mr. Greeley's extreme grounds, as laid down by himself, saying nothing of the benevolence which beclouds his judgment, there is no guaranty, if he controls the policy of the Government, that men shall not be petted and pensioned for trying to destroy the Union.

It ia well that Mr. Greelet has learned to handle the ar so skillfully. There will be something over sixty thousand heads for him to cut off immediately after the 4th of March next. Courier Journal. The above quotation reveals the motive of the Democratic leaders in setting aside their own men and doctrines and taking up with those of a few sore-head Republicans. Many want Federal offices, and the Presidential contest is but a scramble for them. This accounts for the greater zeal of Democratic politicians in Republican districts and States for Greeley. They do not expect local offices; but if by giving up their own party or turning to the right or left a combination is formed which will throw the office-making power into the hands of anybody on whom they- may have a claim. No leader has been able to withstand this consideration, and it is said that Daniel's silence was not without consideration. Mr. Hugii IIeston called upon us this morning, and says the Ecening Xem appended his name to a Greeley meeting without his authority or knowledge. Mr. II. don't train in ringed, streaked and speckled crowds. lie says if the "court understands herself," he shall most certainly cast his vote for Grant. Charley Aikens has called upon us to say that the publication of his name in the Ecening Keics, as a supporter of Horace Greeley, yesterday, was entirely unauthorized. Charley says that he shall vote for Grant, if he lives; and as his prospects for living a goodly number of years yet are apparently good, Ulysses will be pretty sure to receive his vote. EDITORIAL NOTES. Congressman Eldridge, of Wisconsin, has evidently drank of the insane tipple which has Just come into notice under the name of "softshelled crab." He predicts 150,000 majority for Greeley in New York. . The "meat" business seems to have measurably died out since the nomination of Gratz Brown. 4,C,herrles,, is what it is called now, but it is impossible to determine whether it is straight or mixed. The Chicago Evening Journal, of ye6terday, contains nearly two columns of names for a meeting to organize a Grant and Wilson Club to-night. The most prominent citizens of Chicago appear in the lftt, and the editor announces that he is compelled to omit numberless names for want of apace. TnK Chicago Time and the Buffalo Fbst are among the last of the Democratic journals that still insist upon a straight Democratic ticket. The World, Free P ess of Detroit, and the Ledger of Louisville, that kept them company until the Baltimore Convention, have each "gone where the woodbine twineth." Will these two last of the Mohicans follow in the wake of their late comrades? We shall see. Scientific men have announced that from Keokuk to the Gulf of Mexico the bed of the Mississippi has recently filled up with sediment from two to four feet deep. Scientific people have been pczzled to account for this remarkable deposit. The Keokuk Gate City attempts to explain it by the astonishing assertion that "Ilenry Clay Dean has recently washed himself and moved into a clean shirt." A significant sentence was omitted from Sumner's letter, as published by Rcavls, of StLouis. In the original the letter closed with the words: "The Republican party must be eaved, and what I can do shall be done for it.' The Reavls-Greeley crowd do not propose to save the Republican party, and they did not think it necessary to print the Senator's declaration on that point. In his New Haven speech Gratz Brown said: "You know that I have never performed one act nor uttered one word nor harbored one thought in derogation of the divine right ef every man to human freedom.' To which James Redpath who was for a time assistant editor of the St. Louis Democrat when Gratz run that machine replies: "I know I heard him say: 'I like slavery as a stcial institution myself.' I remember the expression well, for it disgusted me with the insincere little Se warding; and I have had no confidence in him since as a Republican leader." STATE ECHOES. Samuel Knowland, who was shot last Monday by his uncle, near Henryville, Indiana, was not dead at the last accounts, but his recovery is hopeless. The shooting did not occur at Henryville, but at Oakland, a small settlement about two and a half miles from Henryville. Gentlemen who reside in the neighborhood report that the Knowland family is a worthless set, and of a revengeful disposition. Particulars in the case go to 6how'that all of the Knowlands were armed on the evening of the shooting, and went to the place where the tragedy occurred fully bent on killing or being killed. While the community deeply regret that this scene of blood should have occurred in their midst, yet they congratulate themselves that they are well rid of two bad and turbule'nt characters. A Greeley meeting was held at Bourbon Kosciusko county, recently, which was addressed by Horace ' Corbin and M. A. O. Packard, of Plymouth; E. . V. Long, of Bourbon, and General Hascall, of Goshen. We . learn that, so far as a demonstration was concerned, it

was a complete fizzle. Mr. Packard announced that he intended to quit the field of politics, and the burden of Gen. Hascall's speech was that Republicans should assist the Democracy to rise from the mire and the filth in which they had so long wallowed up to the plane occupied by the Republican party. The. meeting was a dull and insipid affair. The "spotted tails" in Kosciusko county, says the Indianian, are mistaken if they think either Republicans or Democrats intend to vote their ticket if their candidates, will declare to Republicans that they are for Grant and Wilson, while they will tell aDecrat on the sly that they are for Greeley and Brown. "Double-faced dealing" never wins, never will, nor never should. The pigeons of New Albany have been playing old Nick with the town clock, and the New Albanians have either got to exterminate the pigeons or be knocked out of time. A PROSPEROUS COMMUNITY. now tile freehold system tias operated AMONG THE PERRY COUNTY, IND., COAL MINERS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE. From the Cannclton QTnd) Reporter. The mining of coal has been carried on at this point for a period of more than thirty years. Indeed, it may be said that it has been our leading business during all that time, for nearly all other branches of industry here have only been subsidiary to this and founded upon it. Contrary to the prophecies of many, instead of decreasing, it has constantly increased. Instead of the mines giving out, every entry made and every new road constructed has opened up new fields and developed new stores of this indispensable staple. The stability which has attended the coal trade here has always attracted to this point a class of persons peculiar to this business, so that we probably have as expert miners, and men who understand this trade as thoroughly as any men in the United States. From the Cannelton mines many persons have gone as teachers and managers to other miners, and have invariably commanded the hishest wages. During all these thirty years our miners, as a class, have increased in numbers, in wealth, in prosperity and social importance. Their credit at our stores, and among business men is unsurpassed if equaled by any other class of laborers, and constantly becoming more stable and desirable. The trade has very rarely been interrupted during this time by strikes or disagreements between them and the owners of the mines. As a general thing, the relations between the employer and the employes hare been harmo nious, and highly creditable to all concerned. If there have in a few instances been temporary misunderstandings, they have been speedily and honorably adjusted, and have in no instance produced disastrous result?. One cause, and probably the principal cause of this continued prosperity and growing importance of this class, is the fact that our coal miners are generally real estate owners, and thus feel an interest in the growth and prosperity of the community where they live. Their children fill our school houses and churches. They themselves become county commissioners, township trustees, school directors, school trustees, and road supervisors. They have become a part of the body politic, and vitally interested in its welfare. It was a wise foresight on the part of the American Cannel Coal Company in always offering indacements for miners to become the owners of homes of land. This policy steadily pursued has been alike advantageous to all, and presents a spectacle DX)t only praiseworthy of itself, but peculiar to this country. Where in the wide world except in the United States can such an instance be found? We take pleasure in thus making a record of an important social fact, covering quite a number of years, but which we have for the ereater part personally witnessed. If there is anything that carries joy to the heart of one who loves humanity, it is to see these evidences of progress among those who toil for a livelihood. "When we behold the many comfortable and tasty homes scattered through this town and its suburbs, extending back upon our hills and up the Ohio river nearly to the mouth of Deer creek, the fruit of honest industry and thrift, we cannot but think the world improves, that intelligence, geod morals, love of country and all the lesser virtues are developing among us, and so contributing to our American civilization a civilization which, despite the temporary annoyances and bickerings of political parties and different nationalities, is yet the powerful alembic from which issues the ever-living sentiments of liberty regulated by law.

ANECDOTES OF FOOTE, EDMUND KEAN AND OTHERS. From Temple Bar. It has been said that if heavy postage produced essays, cheap postage makes epigrams. But the latter were not wanting in the very earliest days. Nothing could be more epigrammatic than the note sent by the Irish chief to another : " Pay me tribute or else answer was: "1 owe you and if Of this sort were the notes between Foote's mother and Foote : " Dear Sam I am in prison. Yours, E. Foote." The old lady was under arrest for debt. The answer was : " Dear mother So am I. Yours, S. Foote." And again, the letters between old Mrs. Garrick and young Edmund Kean : "Dear Mr. Kean You can't play Abel Drucger. ' Yours, etc." To which intimation Edmund wroto back: "Madam I know it. Yours, E. K." Instances occur now and then where a joke has been played, the fun of which was to make a man pay heavy postage for very unnecessary information. When Collins, the artist, was once with some friends around him, one of them resisted every attempt to induce him to stay to supper. He withdrew, and the friends in council over their banquet resolved that the sulky guest should bo pun ished. Accordingly, on the following day, Collins sent him a folded sheet of foolscap, on which was written: "After you left we had stout and oysters." The receiver understood what was meant, yet was equally resolved to have his revenge. Accordingly, biding his time, he transmitted in a feigned hand to Collins a letter, in which the painter read only, "Had you?" Therewith the joke seemed at an end; but Collins would have tho last word. He waited and waited, till the thing was almost forgotten, and then the writer of the last query opened a letter one morning in which he had the satisfaction of finding an answer to it in tho words, "Yes, we had." We can not dismiss this part of the subject without exprenslng our regret that we are unable to remember the name of that British admiral who, after achieving a glorious victory at sea, dispatched a letter to the admiralty, in which there were only these, or similar words: "Beat the enemy; took, sunk, burned and destroyed ships named in the margin," Tersest of &d' mirals!

COWARDLY STABBING. A FOREMAN IN THE NASnVILLE SHOPS NEARLY MURDERED BY A DISCHARGED WORKMAN. From the Louisville Courier-Journal. About o'clock yesterday evening a stabbing affray occurred on Eleventh street, near Magazine, which will result in permanent injuries to, if not the death of, Mr. Samuel Smith, a 11 boss " painter at the shops of the Louisville and Nashville railroad. Mr. Smith, in company with his friend, Mr. Michaelmas, was walking along Eleventh street, returning to his home from the depot. A man named Johu Lanahan either stood at that time near Magazine, or came out of that street and turned in the direction of Broadway. Mr. Smith did not expect any foul play, and therefore continued his homeward course, all the while talking to his companion. Lanahan said not a word till he reached the side of 3lr. Smith. Then, turning suddenly, he uttered an opprobrious epithet and raising a large knife plunged it deep into the side of the unfortunate and unsuspecting Smith. The latter being cut at almost a fatal spot, was pushed roughly and uncermoniously against the fence, where he cried out "murder" and brougl t to his relief other persons who were in the neighborhod. Mr. Michaelmas attempted to stop the difficulty, and to prevent the further flow of blood. His efforts, however, though oflered as soon as it was possible, were too late to ward off the severe and perhaps fatal blow, or to staunch the dangerous wound. Air. Smith recovered himself very quickly, and, though bleeding and suffering a great deal, drew his pistol and fired once or twice at his assailant. Mr. Smith's little boy, a lad scarcely twelve years old, went to his assistance and stood by him during the entire difficulty. Lanahan left the place soon afterward, and though pursued by the police, had not been arrested up to a late hour last night. The home of Mr. Smith was just a square distant from the scene, and he walked there, supported by his friend and son. His entrails were protruding from the wound, and the blood flowed profusely. Surgical aid was promptly called in, and the wound was probed and dressed. The sufferer rested well for the first few hours, and it may be that he will recover, though the chances are against him. The origin of the feud is thought to date some twelve months ago. Lanahan at that time worked under rmith as a painter, but was discharged for drunkenness and consequent inattention to duty. A few days thereafter Lanahan got on a spree, armed himself, went to the place of his last exploit, and made an unsuccessful effort to do the bloody work that he accomplished yesterday. Being drunk, however, it was easy for Smith to get out of his way. For this Lanahan was arrested and taken before the court, where he was held in heavy bonds to keep the peace and be of good behavior for one year, which time has not yet expired. A GOLD MINK IN THE AIR. From the New York Times. A very artful man in a small way is Mr. Charles A. Robeson. Highly respectable in appearance, suave in manner, elegant but usually reserved in speech, and about fifty years of age, Mr. Robeson not long since turned up in Boston, lie came thither as a stranger, but he soon made many friends. One reason for this, besides the advantages named, probably lay in the fact that he a&ked no favors. After a time, it leaked out, no one could tell exactly how, that Robeson was the owner of a gold mine of fabulous wealth in Oregon. Some adventurous person questioned him on the subject, but he evaded its discussion with a graceful and careless ease, well calculated to fire curiosity and establish confidence. On other occasions, Mr. Robeson professed annoyance that his secret should have been hinted at. He admitted that it was true he had such a mine nay, he was not unwilling to show particular friends specimens of the ore. Beyond this, however, he begged that he might be spared further debate. The specimens were shown, and they were magnificent. No more handsome fragment of auriferous red sandstone quartz were ever seen. Thus represented, 3Ir. Robeson incidentally observed, a probable value in his mine of a hundred millions of dollars. It is not surprising to hear that on this hint the solid men of Boston spoke. Here was a scheme worthy of the Hub of the Universe, befitting the city tkat held Gilmore's Jubilee. The fortunate owner of their new Ophir increased the number of his respectable acquaintances apace. They gave him nice suppers at Parker's, drove him proudly behind their fast-trotting steeds, and otherwise evinced their appreciation of modest opulence. The upshot of it all, as the reader anticipates, was that a large number took stock in the Robeson mine parted with, of course, with infinite reluctance by the proprietor, and that, while a fraction of the money was put in the hands of directors to expend for machinery and other improvements, most of the cash found its way into the pocket of Mr. Robeson. The directors actually went out to San Francisco, Robeson coolly accompanying the party, with the purpose, as was understood, of guiding them directly to the mine. Arrived at the Golden City, tickets were bought to go on to Portland, and, on the morning the steamship was to sail, Robeson coolly managed to give his companions the slip. So adroit was he in this that the whole party, with the exception of himself, went on board the packet, the Ajax, and were carried off to Portland, while Robeson, as is supposed, .took the railroad and made for the East. The representatives of the solid men of Boston will return, no doubt, in good time, and make their way to the three-hilled city, wiser if sadder men. The moral of this may be expressed in terms somewhat like the precautionary admonition of Mrs. Glasse: t4First, catch your hare," said that worthy dame, and "first, see your mine," may judiciously suggested to those who, like the dupes of Robeson, are tempted into golden speculation. In the meantime, it is to be hoped that the enterprising operator may fall into the hands of justice, since, apart from the wrong inflicted on particular victims, such rogueries as his have a tendency to injure legitimate mining projects, to wltfch capital and confidence are alone esssential to bring about results of genuine and solid profit. TUB ADVANTAGE OF GROANING. . A French physician is out in a long dissertation on the advantage of groaning and crying in general, and especially during surgi-' cal operations. Ho contends that groaning and crying are two grand operations by which nature allays anguiihi that those patients who give way to their natural feelines more speedily recover from accidents and operations than those who suppose it unworthy a man to betray such symptoms of cowardice as either to groan or cry. Ho tells of a man who reduced his pulse from one hundred and twenty-six to sixty in the course of a few hours by giving full vent to his emotions. In accordance with the above, the crying of children should not be too greatly discouraged. What is natural is nearly always useful, and nothing can be more natural than the crying of children when anything occurs, to give them either physical or mental paju, !

BABIES. AN OLD PREDICTION VERIFIED. A writer ("Zozimus") in an English magazine discourses as follows on a familiar and humorous subject : "Babies are bundles of clothes with yellow head?." Some months ago I received a letter from the Royal Geographical Society,informing me that this definition was inaccurate, as in tropical climates babies had black faces and were frequently found without any clothes worth speaking of. This I don't believe. I have often ie?n black men at St. James' Hall and elsewhere, but who ever saw a black baby? I wrote back, saying that if Dr. Livingstone,when he came home, brought among his specimens ef other insects any black babies I should have great pleasure in inspecting them and giving him a certificate, that is, provided they didn't prove stuffed seals or large cockroaches. There are a great number of babies in the .world. Most of them are, however, kept out of sight in cradles, hen-coops, attics, and old clothes baskets. A man once told me that the reason of this was because, if they were allowed to crawl about the streets or parks, no one could stir out for fear of walking on them, or tripping over them, in either of which cases the people so doing would be prosecuted by our friend Lathbury. It was once proposed by a very clever Irishman to try all the babies found at large by the treason felony act; but, as all British subjects are entitled to be tried by a jury of their peers, and as babies can never be depended en to keep their oaths, the idea had to be abandoned. Babies are all nearly the same size. When they are very small they are called infants, and fed on butter and brown sugar and turpentine. Sometimes the turpentine rises to their head, and they behave in the most outrageous manner. I once saw an infant who had drank too much turpentine sitting on a pillow on the ground and yelling with all its might at a most re-spectable-looking old lady, who was the infant's grand-aunt, and hat a lot of money in the funds. Whenever the grand-aunt pointed her finger at tho infant it yelled louder than ever, and tried to bite the finger. The grand-aunt left the house, and settled all her money on an institution for elderly unmarried women. The education of babies is generally in a very backward state; indeed, they do not appear to know much of the English language beyond the words "papa," "mama," "me," "go," "by." Their attempts at French are even worse; they are continually using such low French as "ajou," "dayday," "baba" and "by-by." A man once told me there can be no "doubt that babies are descended from niggers, for they always say "me" for "I." 3 Babies do not differ much in temper, size, and disposition. They are violent, about the size of a pillow, and covetous. I once saw a baby with a corkscrew, a pair of tongs, a hand-bill, and a broken hearthbrush, and nothingcould induce it to part with them, although it had got the corkscrew half way into its ear, and the handle of the hearth brush altogether down its throat. When you come near a baby it stretches out its hand and clutches hold of your necktie. This is, the mother tells you, a mark of high favor, and a desire that the baby wishes to kiss you. When you stoop forward to kiss the creature it seizes you by the hair, and every one but you laughs and says what a precious baby it is. When you sit down you are asked to hold the baby. You take it in your arms and place it on your knee. Immediately it catches hold of -your collar, and tries to stand on your best trowsers with its dirty boots. If you don't allow it, the mother says: "Oh, do, Mr. So-and-sa, let him stand up: he is quite delighted at having discovered he can stand, and it won't hurt him." It then lays hold of your shirt studs, and shoots out its finger at your eye, and drives a hand sticky with wet sugar into the bosom of your shirt, Not unfrequcntly it behaves in a manner so inconsiderate that description is impossible. This makes you wish to put it down and stamp on it with your right foot. Babies, like dogs, are not found wild in any country. They are always to be met with in the vicinity of mankind. They are usually the companions of women. In savage countries when the men are out hunting tigers with their horses and dogs, the women amuse themselves with feeding babies and washing scalps and drying beef in the run; in civilized countries when the men are out shooting pigeons or hunting hares with their dogs, the women look at the babies and sit sit down until the hair grows down to their feet, put on tight dresses, and . learn the names of their children, if they have time after coming in from seeing their friends. The most singular thing about babies is that each one is larger and finer than any one which has ever been seen before. The first thing a woman does when she takes a baby in her hands is to hold it at arm's length and say, "Oh, dear, or "Oh, my goodness!" or some other powerful words. "What a fine little fellow, and only seven months old, too! Why, Mrs. So-and-so's baby is ten months, and this little fellow is twice his weight. Upon my word, Mrs. So-and-so, I have seen many a baby, but this is the finest." Mrs. So-and-so smiles, and takes the baby, and shows how it can nearly stand when it is held up under the arms and has its back against the leg of a sofa. A man once told me that men were descended from babies. What Mr. Darwin said about babies was bad enough, but this is really carrying matters too far. t SUMMER RECREATIONS. The Chicago Interior is decidedly in favor of summer recreations. Hear it: To a thoroughly healthy mind there is something pleasant in the annual breaking up of the routine of anxiety and work. It is quite refreshing to see the banker, the merchant, and the master mechanic, whose shoulders have stooped, and whose eyes have grown glassy over the great business projects and problems of the year en route somewhere. It does one good to see the lawyer, the doctor (if unreasoning patients will let him off,) and the minister, whose brain-power has been spending so prodigally for the year, fixing a "great gulf between their ordinary avocation and themselves which none can pass. Let them lie on the rocks while the ocean spray breaks over them, r stretch themselves on the cool sand, or go tossing out among the islands; let them climb mountains, rough it in the great forests, become a terror to trout and bass till the whole watery world dreams of the resurrection of good Isaak Walton; let them get wet, tired, and hungry, and come back again with more avoirdupois, and faces and hands as brown as the autumn forests. The world will be the better for it, home dearer, the next year's work nobler, and their own hearts purer Let the "mother" who has been tied up to the consuming cares of household life, the daughter and the sister who have had a good generous share in that employment, domestic, pedagogic, literary, or otherwise, go with them, and come home tanned, freckled voracious, full of laughter, and full of love for the sanctities of home life, and so much the lessa hysteria, consumption, and family tempests for the next twelve-month, .
