English Slavery.

We find in the New York Mailt statement to the effect that three hundred and thirty thousand men and boys are constantly employed in the coal mines of England and Wales. To any one who has read the book which created such a sensation across the water a few years ago The White Slaves of England—this statistical reminder of those mines is painful. How many thousand women and girls are also employed at the present day we do not know. It is time that a second thorough examination were made, to see if any good results came from the boob.

An English Opinion.

The London Ttlegraph in discussing the character of General Grant and the probability of his election to the Presidency predicts that if called to occupy that exalted position would probably "look at the facts" in regard to all quea* tions brought before him, and restrain his action within the limit9 of his legitimate authority and it describes him as a man who spectu both equity and law, who never ceparts frorr solid ground, and who is probhbly 0*10 oi the least prejudiced person* throughout the length and breadth of the Union. It i3 possible ior the Taarirte intellect occasionally to conceive a correct ideti in relation to American affaire, aa these comments oi the Telegraph demonstrate.

No sooner hod that t?pi auh appeared than tbo Courier hastened to withdraw its sug^estiocj,rightly concluding that the man who applied the lerm "infamous" to the "lost cause" was not the man for th Kentucky Democracy or, indeed, for the party generally.

A Singular Controversy.

Our axchangee make mention of "a curious quPstiaD of the construction of the Lfgft' Tender a.'i" which has been taken up to the Supreme Court from thn court9 of Oregon. In that State, it appears, the Sheriff is required to pay over to the CoUDty Treasurer the full amount of State and school taxes in gold and ailver coin, and the County Treasurers are required to pay ovw the State lax to the State TreMurer in a like medium. The county of Lane contends that thaa* law# only de fine ths duties of officers charged with the collection of taxes, and do not affect the right of citizens to pay their taxes in legal tenders, and insists that this right cannot be destroyed by inference hance, the county declined to pay over in gold the taxes due. The State of Oregon, on the other hand, says that a tax is not a debt, and can be collected in any shape that the Legislature may prescribe, as, for instance, in wheat, cotton and tobacco, as was customary in former times. The ground of

the decisions relieviqg debtors of the obligation of payment in specie has been based upon the ooourrence of the phrase "lawlui moneybut as this point does not arisu, the decision will turn upon the powers of a State Legislature

Xhe Far West.

An exchange complains that tb& Territories of the United States have been so •cut and carved for the las' eight or ten years that it requires great research to aaoertala oven the names of tbo different budding States The complaint is weli grounded. For reason* tbat are hard j0 be divined the boundaries have been diminished and expanded, twisted and turned, and the geography of the region is hrpelessly confused. The maps of 1866 lay down Wyoming as one of the new territories hut it never came into being, 8od is now annexed to Dako* ta, making tbRt territory look something like an irregular dumb*bell, or the fabled gerrymander. Under these circumstance', as the population of the annexe increases, and more frequent communication with Yankton, the capital, becomes necessary for the purpose of obtaining Lags istaiivo favors, the inconvenience of the journey causes loud out cries for a remedy The development of the mines ?n the Swantwater river has brought together a sufficient number of persons to constitute a separate territorial organization, and tho Dakota Legislature has been asked to memorialize Congress for the division of tho two territories now joined together like tho Siamese Twins. The name of Lincoln has been suggested, and tbero is a favorable opportunity to record the fame of the second Washington.

The First Gun

The election of General Beatty, Kepublican candidate for Congress in the Eighth Ohio District, as announced in our news columns yojterdHy,will be hailed by '-very Union man in thn country as an event full of premise for the future. General Hats carried that District in October by less than 300 majority. Genera1 BkaTtx gains 700 on the October vrip carrying the District by 1,000 majority It has been a well contested fight «.nd, until within a few days of the election, the Democracy thought their candi-. date, Co!. Buknb, was sure to wiu. His courage seems to have failed him on the botr.o stretch, and even the gro§s misrepresentations of financial matters to which he resorted to bolster a failing cause have not produced the effect designed. "The great re action," of which our facetious friends of the opposition have had so much to sav, seems to have met with a check. Will the Democracy put down this election among those interesting collections of "straws" which they have boen compiling, as political weathercocks, for some monuss past

Public Expenditures Ucdocvri. The Philadelphia Inquirer thinks a difference between the War and Navy Departments has been i-hnwn lately, much to tho oredit of the tormer, by a :oduction of its expense*, while in the latter no attempt at reduction has been rnada. The comperison it just. The War Department has reduced thy yearly amount nectssary for iu support, it is estimated, sixty millions of dollars. While this was being done, Secretary Welles remai.-od in his office without any attempt to reduce tho current of hi# expenditures. until Congress, by resolution, dt c'r.r'-i tbat it was unnecessary to proceed further at present in building and equipping •hips of war, and that tho proper policy Don't DtBgOSt Them. for the Navy Depsrtment was a reduction The Hercuiaan efforta of tho Indiana* cf expanses, did Secretary Welles wake polls Democracy toiecuratho meeting of up to the necessity of making an effort the Democratic National Convention in The mult is shown in the presentation of' that city have elicited groans and other an Additional report to Congress, in which evidences of disapprobation from the parthere are such an excision of items, for ty press in various sections of the 8tate. merly claimed, as to reduce the whok All along the Southern border the cry is amount deemed necessary for the support for Louisville The Louisville Democrat, of the navy from over fortv millions of not long since, gave as reason why the dollars to something short vt twenty-five Convention should not be held there, that millions—being a reduction of more than the delegates would be disgusted by yelli twenty-two and a quarter millions.

Sherman for President. The Journal is informed by "a Demo* oratic veteran of the late rebellion, that he would like to see General Sherman nominated by the Democracy for the Presidency." The veteran thinks "twothirds of the soldiers would support Shebman in preference to Gbakt." Nothing would gratify us more highly than to aee such evidence of returning reason and sound loyalty on the part of Democratic leaders—candidate.makers end platform manipulators—as the nomination of the gallant Lieutenant-General on a platform modeled after his speech delivered at the anniversary meeting of the "Army of Tennessee," in 3t Louie, a few months ago.

We have not a copy of that eloquent and patriotic address at hand, but there was certainly nothing of the "war a failure" sort in it. On the contrary, he gloried, with all the pride of a true patriot and soldier, in the exploits of his ariny, which the Democratic press has been wont to style ''vandalism,' ''pillage,' "arson" and "the wholesale plunder and devastation of the South, varied with tho indiscriminate murder of our brave but misguided brethren." We distinctly recollect, too,that he spoke of the "lost cause' as one that would grow more and more 'infamous" with the lapse of years, and that for thu9 speaking, for not going back on h!s own glorious military record and eating Democratic dirt, he called forth such fierce and bitter howls from th« Democratic pres?, such vindictive, malicious denunciation as have rarely fallen on tho ears of any army ctfi er with the possible exception of

BUTttfc.

It is not impossible tbat "two-thirds or the soldiers might "support SHKttMAN, on such a platform as we have indicated, but they would not be the soldiers who now affiliate with the Democratic part}. Tbe?e would follow their leader* in support of the "peace" candidate who served as a tail fir the '-war a failure' kite in '64, who deserves and will bavo the nomination for thft head ot' tbo Democratic ticket this year. Wo suggest to the Journal's veteran that he propose SheriiaM to the Kentucky Democracy if he want8 to hear music. Ask the Louisville Caur* ier or Se.ttinel to run up "Old Biixt's nam« at tho head of its columns. They will tell jou that the man who styles their pride and glory as something "that will grow more and more infamous in the light of advancing civilization," is worse even than "Hancock, the murderer of Mrs, Surbatt.

The Kentucky Chivalry Happy.

Ono of the severest afflictions that ever befel the Kentucky rebel Democracy was the establishment in that State of the Frefdrnen's Bureau, thus interposing the strong hand of Governmental power betv.een the late masters and their hated ex-bondmon. True, the Bureau has not sufficed for complete protection, and the shooting of "niggers" has continued to be the favorite amusement of the chivalry, a "manly sport," more highly prized, even, than the tournament, for there is more excitement in sending a bullet through a "nigger's" head or heart, than in spearing a napkin«ring.

But the vigilani'3 of the officers on duty in Kentucky has so far restrained the brutality of the rebel Democracy that with all their efforts at extermination, they have onlj- been able to do r. retail business, shooting here and there a brace or two of -'buck niggers," hanging a "wench" now and then, and occasionally attaining the beatitude of smashing open the skull of a "plcaninny." Like the iron grating of & tiger's cage the representatives of the Government in "hateful Lincoln blue,'r have stood between the exasperated rebels and the mass ot those who would else have 'D6Com« their victims

Wearied at last with "kicking against the pricks" many of the rebels had begun to take a common sense view of the sub« ject, end had about decided to yield, with as good a graco as possible, to the Lnevita. ble. Freedmen were becoming lea* ex» posed to outrage and murder, their schools wjr« progressing with good reresults and there was sooie prospect that the Legislature would be obliged to grant them the right to testify in the courts.

Such was the condition of affairs when General Howabd issued his circular, ap» proved by General Grant, ordering the Bureau to be withdrawn from that State on the 15th ol' next month.^This order, according to General BubbRIDOe's recent report, has emboldened the rebel element, and led it inio a renewal of persecutions ol freedmen. It is pronounced a victory over tho General Government, and the end of the efforts of Congress to give freedmen protection or rights other than these conferred by Statu laws. In many parts of the State, it is openly declared, that as Sunn as the Bureau is removed, the freedmen will not be allowed to go before the courts to make complaints and will be punished for such complaints as they hnve already male. Tho General also says that the withdrawal of the Bureau n^w will be most disastrous to the works of ea tablishing and maintaining school* in the! State. No new school:- Can be openei, and many of those now in operation must, at once, be closed. "Niggers" will not be permitted to ed* ucate their children where the Kentucky chivalry can prevent it, for education is a dangerous element. If carried much farther among tho blacks of that State, they would have more culture] than two-thirds of their for -ner masters It is time to step the elevation of tho race by educational or any other means, for the rebels being on a descending and, the blacks on an ascending grade, tboy must eventually meet and pas« each other unless the "nigeers" can be beaten down to some "lower deep

Hendricks and his Right Bower, virtue of which the transfer had been efWo have heretofore called attention to fected. Suit was then brought by Vira very "thrilling' and remarkable pas- g»nia in the Supreme Court for tberecovsagein tho 8th of January manifesto of ery of the coveted territory, tho fairest that "great statesman" whom the Democ- portion of her former domain. The counracy of Indiana have selected as their sel for tho old State of Virginia submitted

color-bearer for the campaign of 1868, a passage, the direct tendency, if not premeditated purposes, of which is to incite the more ignorant and brutal of his party adherents to an indiscriminate slaughter of the black race. When Senator Hendricks trumps up imaginary bugbears to fright the souls, or whet the paslion of hi« followers, he undoubtedly has )ome object in view, and it is not difficult to understand the object of a demagogue who, in a state where peace, iaw and order prevail, raises a houndish cry about "thp scream of beauty and inno 2ence in the flight from pursuing lust," and appeals to the white man to make ready "his heart and hand" for the defense of the "pale-faced woman and the child of his own race," A man who will disgrace the office of Senator by the utterance of such language, and the manifestation of such motives as are appa rent in that portion of Mr Hbndhicks' speech is eminently fitted for political association with that other great Democratic orator and publicist, Brick Pomerot, and our Democratic friends will be glad to be informed, (if they have not wl of them read hi? paper), that Brick has taken up Hendricks' idea, and translated lhe ambiguous verbiage in which the Senator thought it politic to slightly disguise his meaning into very plain English, as follows

In 1868 clubs will be formed in every town ami city of the country. Let these club3 be composed of men 'as ready to fight as to vote 1 Let them bo drilled in the manual of aims—be as conversant with the science of military tactics as with Democratic principles. They may not ba required to display that knowledge, but if nigger or Bsdical killing should b« in order, «hey will be as ready for that businesg as to listen to the inaugural of a Democratic President on the 4th day of March, 1869. "Radical killing" i», we admit, in advance of Hbnebicks1 theory so far as he has yet develops! it, but "nigger killing" is Hendricksoniag ambiguity rendered in the straightforward, unmistakable dialect of a Democrat who has not had tbo long practice of the illustrious Senator in disguising political crimes in stilted and non-committal phraseology. We expect the Democratic managera of tho State campaign to so far repeat the programme of '66 as to securo Brick's services again. He should travel with their illustrious leader and speak from tho same stands, for there is a cordial harmony in their views upon the "nigger" question, and to tbat question they will soon fall back as their main or sole reliance. True, they hoped to go into the catnpoign with greenback thunder stolen from «ie Re-» publican ordnance stores, but the shallow cheat is already detected, and thousands of the "Old Hickory"school are damning any dimmierat" who talks about "paper money." Failing in this attempted theft of a platform they will go back to their old stamping ground, "the nigger," and do what they can by political meanness to realize ther long nignt«mare dream of "nigg«r" equality."

Progress in the Bight W»y. It is gratifying to learn from the National Capital that the Ways and Means Com mitt are making such progress with the Internal Revenue' Bill that they expect to be able to report ia the course of the next fortnight. It is still mGre grat ifyine to be assured that their labors are mainly directed to such modifications of th« present law as will place the burden of taxation where it legitimately belongs, on articles of luxury, and, to the greatest possible extent, relieve those industrial products which enter into almost universal consumption.

No one will question the justice of this principle. It harmonizes alike with the dictates of that enlarged humanity which should underlie all law, and with the prac» tice of the most enlightened natisns of Europe, who had many years the start of

The harangue delivered by Mr. Doo#j0f Virginia to the New State of West

in the United States Sena*.-, -eii

Thursday, affords afresh illustr? /,j .f the facility with which renegade &eptb* licans descend to the sub-strata oi Dtno* oratic party filth. The accelerated velocity of such a descent seems insvitably to carry its miserable victim far below tho plane of "respectable Democracy' and land him among the sewers and ce»pools .c.8 in the military service tie most disagreeable "fatigue" duty, suci as digging and covering sinks and burying dead mules, is assigned to recruits, the latest acoeesions to the awkward squad, so in the Democratic party, when a detail is wanted for a service too vile for the na» tives of the tribe they call for a reneged* in the confident assurance tbat his seal to secure the approval of his new associates,: —their commendatory pats upon his back,—will not permit him to stickle at anything which mortal nerve and^ stomach can endure.

MUilii

five points, as follows: First That no 8tate caD, without the consent of Congress, enter into any agree* ment or compact with another State or foreign power. The proposed transfer fron* the Commonwealth of Virginia of that part «f its territory and jurisdiction? new in question, to the State of West Virginia, could bo effectually made only by a "compact or agreement," within the meaning of these words in the Constitution. One State cannot ^rant and another accept a cession of territory and jurisdic. tion without a compactor agreement and all such compacts and agreements have been uniformly received and treated by the judiciary and by Congress as within this provision of the Constitution, and as requiring the assent of Congress. The acta of States in reference to their territory are not to be interpreted by technic** rules, nor evidenced by technical words* The substance of the transaction and the real intent and effect are alone to be considered. If the thing proposed could take effect only by force of a compact or agreement between two States, that thing is prohibited from taking effect until tho assent of Congress ia obtained.

Second. The legislation of Virginia, as to the cession of these counties to the Stato of West Virginia, was only a proposal to become operative as a transfer of territory upon certain conditions so far as it depended upon tho Commonwealth of Virginia to prescribe those conditions they are contained in its acts of legislation.— .But no proposals by one State to another State can amount to a concluded compact or agreement until the consent of Oongres is given to it. Prior to that consent, any action of the State must be deemed a pro posal only, which it may withdraw continue, according to its own sense right.

Third. The Commonwealth ofVirp1' ia had amply sufficient grounds and -a sons for withdrawing its proposed ffe®" ment to a cession of part of its ter*°ry« and did withdraw It before its had become operative as a cf compact or agreement.

AW INTERESTING CASE.

The Suit of the "Old Dominion" for tli« Iiecover of Jefferson and Berkley Coafcie*.

One of the^ostyinteresting questions growing out /f tbe extraordinary legislation resu^ng from "tbolato unpleasantness" wa'presented in the raso of the State of Vig'nia vs. the State of West Virginia, "ecently before the United States Su reme Court. Questions of this characte, constituting, as they do, essential feaures of the political history of the countf, have an interest not confined to mear-ers of the legal profession, but shard by all who dwire to be welKinforaed upen events of national inport#!ce. The only question of interest intplvad in this case was the constitutionally of a law transferring tbe counties of 'jtfferson and Berkley from the Old State

Virginia. It wilt be remembered that the passage of this act occurred during the Administration of Governor PiEBPoifT, and when his administration at Alexandria, being the only loyal organisation in Virginift was recognized to some extent as the government of that State. After the fall yf the rebel power and the occupation of Richmond by the authorities of the United States, the seat of government was transferred to the old State capital, and Gov. PiXRPokt and bis oft cers became the provisional governmen of tbe State.

As the readiest and perhaps the only practicable method of testing the legality of the cession of the two counties, a law was passod repealing the act of 1862 by

CLIMAX.

A plain statement of facts. I inherited Scrofula, and many of my relations have died of It.— In 1839 my case was frightful. Tumors and ulcers spread until In 1843, under tbe advice of my phy sicians I went to Avon Springs. 1 received no benefit—tried everything I could, lhad to rest my arm on a cushion, and bad not been able to raise It to my head for over a year. The dlscharg from two ulcers was nearly a plot a day. Ampu* tation was recommended, but pronounced danger* ous. I could oot sleep, and my sufferings were intolerable. A friend brought me an English physician who applied a salve with which he said he had accomplished extraordinary cures in the hospitalsia Eng'and. It commenced to relieve persisted in Its use It finally effected per fact and entire eurc. It is now 1848. It is five years since I bad the'appearance of a scrofulous sore, and my health has been good ever since. I proured the receipt ot this wonderful artlole—this blessing to humanity—and have called It '-Pan's

Cumax Salts,"

and allow the public to use or

not as they choose. This Is a brief bnt candid statement, given more fully ln my circular. Geneva, N. Y., Dec. 1848. J. M. PAGE.
