Their behavior, if this statement is not incorrect, strongly confirms the favorable opinion of thera expressed by Governor Bramlette in his valedictory and by Governor Helm in his inaugural.

"Our recent elections," says Governor Bramlette, "were conducted peaceably and with fairness throughout the State, and with great unanimity the election has resulted in the election of my esteemed friend, his Excellency John L. Helm, by the free and Orleans Times with an: article on the ichneumon-fly that was original in the informs us that the fields ebouiid with caterpillars, and that they ars now-making a clean sweep. The GazetSs- believes that they will continue at heir work, and that in a few days they will leave nothing but the naked stalk and the fisli-ffrawn bolls. The Sugar Planter of the 31st confirms this intelligence fully, anc? declares that the cotton crop of West Baton Rouge is a failure. In the "upper lorule" they sre destroying the cotton with a rapidity alaost unknoira before.

Whole fields are beinganept away in a fewiours, ard still the goe3 on. On early-planted lands, the Planter sajs, a half a crop roay be exp-tcted; but on others, later planted, the estimate is be-yona human ken." It that the caterpillar is iu fuli speration in the lower part of the parish asd in the lower We quote further from the Sugar Planter. Frankly and honestly stated, the loss of this crop threatens she ruin of the parish. Upon it were based- all the hopes of our planters who in many instances staked their last upon the rasult Now that their hope is blasted, many are already seeking liemes in other parishes where they anticipate the chanties of providing, for their families will net be surrounded with so many difficulties, We could use the names of a dozen, or more of our nost industrious citizens wh6 have gone to East Baton Eouge, St Heiena, and Livingston, huntiag farms for future residence: Not that the caterpillar is less destructive there than here in reality, but under the full conviction ihe lowlands of ihe State are not adapted to the culiivatio'nof cotton, aud if there is a chance in farming that branch of agriculture, it is better upon the highlands, to which nxist be added perfect safety from overflow from crevasses. The Civic Guard of the 31st says the cotton worm has been very destructive in some parts of Terirebonne parish, especially on Bayou Dalarge.

The cotton in that neighborhood is said to be totally destroyed. On one plantation on Bayou Ba-rataria, where 2G3 acres of cotton had been planted, four days ago the worms destroy-the crop as only they could do it One bun: dred and fifty bales were expected, but a gentleman just arrived from the plantation says the proprietor will barely make twenty. Louisiana seems to be doomed to another severe blow this season, in the terrible devastations of the cotton worm. It is useless to attempt to estimate the yield of this State. When the planters have picked what the worms have spared or haye not been able to destroy, we can count the bales.

There is no such thing as a trustworthy calculation on the subject. A BRIDE IN THE WRONG BED. We have the Cincinnati Enquirer as voucher for the following: A newly married pair put up at the Spencer House they went out shopping returned the bride had left some things she slipped out found her lost articles returned mistook Main street for Broadway got into Madison for the Spencer it lookod a little strange asked boy if she was iu Spencer boy said ys, not-f611y understanding her she told him to lead her to -13 she partly disrobed aud got into bed expected husband momentarily fell asleep the occupant of Madison an Indiana merchant returned from the theatre a little tight quietly went to the room to bed to sleep. The account proceeds: How long the two reposed there side by side, with ouly a foot space between them, unconscious of each other's presence, is not known, but probably about an hour, when a tremendous noise was heard in the apartment, from which female screams issued wildly, piercingly, and ceaselessly. The hotel was in an uproar, proprietors, clerks, waiters, porters, aud guests, dressed and half dressed, were the door of forty-eight in a few minutes, blocking up.

the entrance, andasking eaeh other eagerly, "What is the matter? for God's sake tell us what is the trouble." The cause of this outcry may be imagined. The bride had awakened about midnight and putting her arm over her husband, it fell upon the Indianian's face, and the soft warm touch aroused him at In consequence of the existence of cholera at Borne, a thousand women formed themselves in procession nt midnight recently, and marched through all of the streets barefooted and with disheveled hair, bearing torches and chautiug litanies. A singular accident from lightning occurred the other day in Ireland. As a youngman in the telegraph office at Car-rick-on-Snir was transmitting some messages recently -during a thunder storm, the lightning struck from his hand ar. open penknife.

The knife hnvincr the wall of the office, rebounded and struck him on the back of the wrist, which immediately became very much swollen. a ue iiguining am no other ham.

The independent papers of Paris denounce hintifor im-partuning the Minister of the Imperial Household, Marsha! Vaillnnt, for this promotion. They state that he callsd.on him at least twenty tisues for thai purpose, and went almost down on his kaees to obtain the much-longed-for promise from, the Marshal.

JL Jourdan, of the Paris Siecle, says in regard to this affair: "Balzac receivsd the cross cf the Legion of Honor only in 1S-17, and what is Alexander Dumas, compared with Balzac?

After being convoyed back to her cell, she sent for the inspector of the prison, and inquired wuat fnte.was in store for her. The officer fold her that she would be confined for lliree years iu a solitary cell in one of the Maisons Centrales, and then bo transported beyoud tbe seas to New Caledonia. If she conducted herself to the satisfaction of the prison authorities, she would perhaps be granted permission to go to Cayenne, ou condition of marrying one ofthc- convicts therv. On hearing this, the unfortunate woman burst into loud lamentations, and (xchiiined again and again that death would be preferable to such a lot.

On the 2-th of May last, smoke began to issue from the crater in more or less quantities, aud of various densities. Later, however, the eruptions are incessant; commencing with a thick, heavy smoke, followed by shoer3 of ashes and sulphur, with a suffocating stench. At times pieces gi the upper part of the crater cave in, as if undermined, followed by heavy explosions. On the 24th of July, during the night, the first shocks of earthquakes were felt, and have continued w.ith more or less frequency ever sinre. The Areqipcnos are kept in a continual state of" alarm, for within the last few days the volcano has ejected such quantifies of smoke that the city ha3 been overcast to that degree that the sun's rays cannot penetrate the luminary himself looking as if in an eslipse.

They dread the destruction of th; city, and with no doubt considerable reasons, for the Cily of Are.quipa has, since the year 1832, been destroyed by earthquakes no less than twelve times, and very narrowly escaped destruction in the year IS-15, experiencing no less than forty heavy shocks in since which scarcely any earthquakes have been felt until a few days ago.

anatSiia The Columbus (Ga.) Sun says the rains are injuriDg the cotton of that section. The worms are appearing and the forms are dropping off. From jhe Morristown (Jefferson county, Tennessee) Gazette, we leara tbnt the crops of upper Eastern Tennessee are suffering very much front drocght The Tallahassee Sentinel of the 12th ult says that cotton picking bstd commenced in esmest in that section of Florida. Barring the worms, the crop prospect there was-reporte'd very flattering. The were increasing rapidly in.

numbers, and are reported as "thrifty, full-grown, and most voracious fellows" The Chronicle, of Nacogdoches county, Texas, of the 17th records the ruin of the cotton crc? of that eounty. The Chronicle says the crop has "gone up a spout," which we presume is an expression meant to indicate a total destruction. The Clarksville (Bed River county, Texas) Standards on the 17tb ult, said that the worms had not seriously injured the cotton of that and that the farmers were making' every effort to destroy them. The boll worms are reported, by the Fort Smith Herald, to have shown theni-' selves in Crawford county, Arkansas. The Herald says the dry, hot wsather has killed them off almost entirely.

The cotton crop of Crawford is said to- look very promising. A private letter froot Conway county says 'the crop prospect there is about equal to that of Uii! yar. In Yell county cotton is doinc; exceOcatly well The dry season has- this -crop of Jackson county alour. third. About Little Rock a halt" crop exp.N.-recl.

The stand is poor and ibf backward. The Searcy County it, curd rtuwrta that the farmers of that county arw complaining about the army worms. They ure said to be committing depredations upon the grass aud corn, aud nothing is about their damaging the cotton. A correspondent of the Record denies that these are the genuine army worms, hut insists that they are smaller than those insects, although equally destructive. If they are less in size than the cotton caterpillar at certain stages of its existence, they must be very small affairs.

Most encouraging reports are received by the Mobile Tribune of the 1st concerning the cotton crop of Butler, Conecuh, and Marengo counties, Alabama. On the loth ult. the boll worm was reported in Conecuh, but it seems to have done but little damage. From Butler we have no unfavorable accounts this season. Lowndes county is suffering more severely than we have hitherto reported.

The Montgomery Advertiser says the worms are multiplying rapidly in Lowndes, and that they have literally riddled several plantations. Efforts to check their progress have been futile. A correspondent of the Hayneville (Lowndes county) Chronicle, says he has examined' four plantations located some six miles west of Hayneville, and finds that the crop has been cut short at least one-half. He thinks that the yield in that vicinity will not bo a bale to five acres. The worms have injured not only the forms and young bolls, but the maturing bolls also.

According to the Selraa Times, the Dallas county cotton fields are in very fine condition. The yield promises to exceed the anticipations of the planters. The Holly Spriugs Reporter says that the cotton worms have appeared in every portion of Mississippi. It reports that iu some counties their ravages have been serious, but in Marshall county they have not done much hnrm. Thu Water Valley Courier fears that but little or no cotton will be raised in some parts of Y'alabusba county.

This is confirmatory of previous leports from that region; but the Grenada Sentinel conveys to us more cheering tidings from Yalabusha. The Sentinel says the extreme warm weather "has played havoc with the worms, and the crop prospects are better than for years. The Vi-dette reports that drouth has badly hurt the crop in Choctaw county, so that many farmers do not expect more than half a crop. JThe Fayette "Journal is satisfied the yield of Jefferson county will be "quite indifferent." The Kosciusko Chronicle, of the 21th ult, speaks encouragingly of the Ati'oHv county crop. No worms were there at that date.

The Picayune quotes from a letter received from Noxubee county, that "the cotton crops have been eat up by the army worm." The boll worm is to have attacked the cotton in the northwest corner of Lowndes countv. In Rankin countv. according to the Brandon Republican of tne -iutu, tue planters agree that the worms have not injured the cotton crop "one iota." Tiicy have disappeared there, for the present at least. The Carrollton Conservative of the August tells us that ifce cotton or Larrou eounty promises well. Fears have been entertained of the cotton worm, but as yet the crop has not suffered from its ravages.

The Mobile Tribune has received a letter from "an experienced planter," who calls the worms in Hinds county.Mississippi,grass worms. The Tribune's correspondent would be correct in this opinion if our wishes could make htm so, but the weight of testimony is decidedly against him. The cotton caterpillar varies so much in appearance as progresses in life, that it is not surprising that even experienced plauters should sometimes have doubts as to its identity. The Caddo Gazette, of Shreveport, of August 24th, says the worms have destroyed a great deal of cotton in DeSoto parish, and have done a considerable amount of damage in Caddo and Bossier, aud in the adjoiningTexas counties. Still, the Gazette thinks that the crop prospect' has improved materially, and that, with good weather, over a half crop wiil be made in the region that trades with Shreveport The Eossier Bauner of the same dale give a very gloomy picture of- tne state oi atiairs Uossier parish.

On some farms, reports, ait hopes of anything like a cotton crop is lost planters not making more than one bale where they expected five. It believes that some plantations have" not been damaned. Bv the Sth iust. it expects the fate of thecot- on otitiiat section will have been decided. In Claiborne parish not more than a fourth of a crop is expected.

The worms have ceased working upon the leaves, but the boll worms are to be destroying all sizes of bolls. In Bienville parish the worm has done less damage than was an ticipated. The Dispatch, of Bastrop parish, of the SOtlt ult, informs us that the worms have nearlv all disappeared in that parish. Those that remain are webbed up. A fair yield was expected if the worms should not rearmear.

Picbino- would commence in Bastrop in the course of eight or ten day3. The Carroll Record of the 31 st ult. says that the cotton of Carroll parish i3 doing finely, having been very little injured by the worms. It looks forward to a half crop. The worms are in force in Lafayette, according to the Advertiser of that parish.

Very small crops are anticipated. A private letter from St. Martin's informs us that the worms are at work upon almost every field of cotton there. The weather has favored growth of the cane, but has not been advantageous to cotton. Inundation, the worms, and a bad season have injured the crop seriously.

The Iberville South of the 31st uft. publishes a communication relative to-the crops in the vicinity of Bayou Goula Bend. This letter says that the cotton crop in that section, notwithstanding all' the labor that could be spent upon it by toe most energetic planters, will oe a tait-ure. It is backward and the caterpillars are upon it, with every prospect of destroying almost the entire crop. A letter from another correspondent from Bayon Goula appears in the same issue of the South, conveying cotton news of a rather different character.

This letter says that "cotton has been considerably damaged-by the caterpillar, but' the destructive insect seems to have suspended its devastations somewhat perhaps to come with renewed force in a few days." The Clinton Democrat, of the 31st, remarks that it was hoped last -week that, the planters of East Feliciana would be benefitted by dry weather. These hopes have been dispelled. The final, grand carnival of the worms is now anticipated. Many planters are complaining of (he injury done by the boll worm. "Hie Baton Rouse Gazette of the same d3y which, by the way, credits the.

Booth, residing near Flat Rock, in this county, aud a negro man named John Wilson, formerly the slave of Mr. Thos. Current, in which Mr. Booth was shot, the ball penetrating the lung near the nipple, and indicting a dangerous, and it is feared, fatal wound. When the news cf the shooting spread throughout the city, it cansed the most intense excitement An excited crowd hurried towards the jail, and for a time it was apprehended that he might be summarily dealt with, but through the promptness aud firmness of several of "our leading citizens, among whom were Judge Hawes, Mayor Pullen, Sheriff Booth, Dan.

Hibler, Dr. Kollar, and others, they were induced quietly to disperse. At i'ac time of the greatest excitement the croud was addressed from the steps of the Coutt-house yard by Gen. John S. Williams, whose remarks tendpd in a great manner to pacify them and restovo order.

THE CITY FATHERS STARTLED. THE MYSTERIES OP THE FLOATING HATli-JiOCK. At the meeting of the City Council yesterday, Mr. Wagner, backed by the pitiful faces of the proprietors of the floating bath-house, introduced a resolution that the city should assume the expense the wharfage for the same eighty-one days at nine dollars per day. The alleged excuse for the introduction of this resolution to give away seven hundred and twenty-nine dollars was that the city had encouraged Smith Bro.

in their bath-house enterprise, that they had failed to realize more than the interest on the money invested, and that as they had done much toward promoting decency and morality in oar midst, it would be only fair for the city to assist them. Mr. Wolf favored the idea, and argued that, as this institution had evidently conduced to the promotion of morality in our city, the city should lend a helping, hand. Mr. Glass insinuated a doubt as to the strict morality of this institution.

He had something to say on that subject himself. Mr. Huesman also had doubts on the strict morality question. He had noticed that the bath-house circulars stated dis tinctly that, after IIP. M.v private parties would be accommodates.

a.e couic. not say what was meant by "private parties," but it looked very suspisions. Mr. Hinkle immediately became alarmed. He demanded au explanation frou Mr.

Glass. Vejy Mr. Glass took 4he floor again, and with a few words, vary Temote in their obscurity from his meaning, conveyed to the horror-stricken municipal fathers an idea of the glistening white. forma of lewd and in evory way improper in the waters of the city's moral bath-house, in company with their male companions, as late at night as 1 o'clock of the morning. He stated plainly that "private parties" were allowed in this bath-house after 11 o'clock of the night He had no objection to these people bathing, in company with their partners, but he did not want the, city to pay for this fun on the ground of morality, at any rate.

That resolution was referred.

Tue Death op Goveuxop. Helm. A despatch from Elizabethtown brings us the mournful intelligence that Governor Helm ib dead.

He died ysterdaj- at half-past twelve o'clock. This event, though not will shed gloom upon the public heart. It is a public calamity. Governor Helm was beloved and trusted by the people of Kentucky; and he was worthy of their love and trust He has left behind him hone worthier. A man of strong intellect, of in-corruptible'iutegrity, of genial temper, of Etatesmtmly acquirements, of large expe rience in affairs, and of pure and all-embracing patriotism, he was a Kentuckian whom Kentuekians might well cherish in the core of their hearts, and proudly entrust with their dearest interests.

His election to the Chief Magistracy of the Commonwealth in this juncture was a fitting expression of the estimation in which the people held him. A higher tribute to private and public worth could hardly be paid by any people. Thus possessing the confidence the people of Kentucky, aud thus deserving it, Governor Helm; if he had lived, would have won the confidence of the General Government even in the hands of the extreme men who now control it. Thi3 we firmly believe. He was a patriot; and his resources of character and of talent were sufficient to enable him without any unmanly compliance to enforce the recognition of his patriotism.

And this he would have done. So we believe. His probity, his equanimity, his conciliatory disposition, his prudence, his skill in affairs, his generous pride of country, and his perfect disinterestedness would at least have told most beneficially upon the interests of the State. What could have been done he would have done. lVe all felt that he was the man for the crisis.

His as we have said, is a public calamity. It is a public calamity hard to bear. And as such the people will lament it; though thousands, outside of the sacred circle of his family, will lament it not only as a public calamity but as a personal be-reavemeut. With these wo number ourselves. The power and authority of the Governorship now devolves on Lieutenant-Governor Stevenson until another Governor shall be elected in August next.

They could not devolve 6n one more worthy in every respect to succeed the lamented Helm. Mr. Stevenson is not only one of the ablest and purest men amongst us, but one of the soundest and discreetest statesmen. His1 patriotism is unsullied. His public character, like his private character, is stainless.

The State will be safe in his hands. JSThe state of Governor Helm's health has given rise to some inquiry concerning the succession in the event of his death. The case seems to us to be very plain. The seventeenth and eighteenth sections of the third article of the constitution are as follows: ec. 17.

Should the Governor be impeached, removed from office, die, refuse to qualify, resign, or be absent from the State, the Lieutenant-Governor shall exercise all the power and authority appertaining to the eflice of Governor, until another be duly elected and qualijieil, or the Governor absent or impeached shs.ll return or be acquitted. ji Sec. IS. "Whenever the government shall be administered by the Lieutenant-Governor, or ho shall fail to attend as Speaker of the Senate, the Senators shall elect one of their own members as Speaker for that occasion. And if during the vacancy of the office of Governor, the Lieutenant-Governor shall be impeached, removed from office, refuse to qualify, resign, die, or be absent from the State, the Speaker of the Senate shall, in like manner, administer the government: Prodded, thai iclienerer a vacancy shall occur in the office oj Governor, before the Jir.it two years of the term shall hare expired, a new election for Governor shall lakejdacc, to Jill such vacancy.

Thus far the constitution. The fourth section and the sixth clause of the second section of the sixth article of the thirty-second chapter of the revised statutes are as follows: "When a vacancy happens in the office of Governor, requiring au election, the proclamation therefor shall be issued by the Chief Justice, or, if he is absent from the State, by the Judge of the Court of Appeals having the shortest unexpired term. The next succeeding first Monday in August shall altcays be the day appointed by irrit or. proclamation for holdiny an election, except as in this chapter allowed, unless to fill a vacancy in the Court of Appeals, or in the office of Circuit Judge, or unless there is or will be an intervening session of the Legislature or of Congress, rendering it necessary to fill a vacancy therein before the first Monday in August. The exceptions "in this chapter allowed" do not include an election to fill a vacancy in the office of Governor.

It follows, "that, in the event of the death of' Governor Helm, it will become the duly of the chief justice or of the eldest judge of the court of appeals to issue a proclamation appointing the first Monday in next August for the holding of an election to fill the vacancy, aud that in the mean time Lieutenant-Governor Stevenson will he the Acting Governor. This we believe to be the legal course of succession. Since this Article was writteu we have received intelligenceor the death of Governor Helm. ISyEHick Mahaley, a negro, of Crawford county, Georgia, publishes in the Macon Telegraph an address to the voters of that Congressional District, announcing himself a candidate for Congress. He says that he was born a slave in Mississippi, that he was raised as well as slaves usually are, and that, if he be elected, his greatest effort will be directed to the interest and welfare of the black race, though he will do all he can to improve the condition of the whites, believing the inter-eats of the two races to be identical in the South.

He goes for the repeal of the unjust discrimination made against the products of the South by the tax law, and is in favor of reconstruction tinder the military bills, but will use. his influence to have the disqualifications removed from alL EUick seems to be a pretty fair negro as negroes go. As a majority of the voters of hi3 district are black, we presume that he will be elected unless opposed bj some smarter or more popular negro tHn himself. ize the State of Kentucky into an independent military district, and place it under the control of a General ot'the army, to be governed as South -Carolina and other Southern States are now governed. The pretext for this gross outrage will be that at the recent Kentucky election disloyal men were elected to State offices, and the radical party managers claim that the newly elected Governor is hostile to the United States.

This will be all- sufSeient, in the opinion of the 'maioritv Congress, and Kentucky is al ready doomed, unless the elections in the North this fall should show a strong reaction in public sentiment in that section." So writes the Washington correspondent of tbe Charleston Mercury, and it is corroborative of the threatened designs of the liadicals. Well, when that is done when a free State of the Union, never in rebellion, is put under the rule of force, for the crime of voting for and how its people pleased, and it is submitted to, we may conclnde that the 5'g of liberty is up, and American pluck is finally "played out." But if the Kads go to this desperate extremity to retain party power, we shall be surprised if the spirit of "Old Kaintuck" does not wake up a little. The fact is, "Old Kaintuck" was just a leelle behind hand in sustaining her rifle character in the late war. Commenting on this article, the Democrat says: The Advertiser is keen enough to see that the election was an endorsement of the course of the South in rebelling, and is right in saying that for any practicable redress "Old Kaintuck was just a leetle behind her rifle character iu the late war," if it means using her rifles against the Union, which she now deprecates: If "the Advertiser is keen enough to see that the election was an indorsement of the course ofthc South in rebelling," it is not "keen to express what it sees; for there is manifestly not even the shadow of any such opinion or suggestion in the Advertiser's language. The case is one of simple inspection.

Let the reader inspect the language. It doe3 not contain so much as the remotest hint of what the Democrat imputes to it The imputation is a naked misrepresentation. the thing imputed is itself a misrepresentation. Not only does the Advertiser not say or hint that "the election was an indorsement of the course of the South in rebellirg," hut fheelection in fact wail not ari endorsement of any such thing. Having made this double misrepresentation, the Democrat proceeds to use it to stir up the radicals as Mark.

Antony stirred up the llomans. Says 'the Democrat: This is a correct view of the meaning of the late election, from one of the keenest observers in the country, and it shows the disloyal character of our Representatives is well known iu the South. Still they are the Kepreseutalives of the State, duly and lawfully elected, and their exclusion is a justifiable cause of resistance if we only bad the power. To the same effect in a subsequent article the Democrat says: It may be said, and it is true, the successful organization is coutrolled by political sentiments hostile to the Union of these States. We regret this, but cannot see what it has to do with the question.

They may be thorough rebels, and propose active resistance, and as far as the question is concerned still be gorerned by a republican form of government, according to the Constitution. And indeed this is the burden of all that the Democrat says on the subject. "The disloyal character of our Representatives" is so notorious, the Democrat asserfs or insinuates, that it "is well known in the they are inspired by "political sentiments hostile to the Union of these they are "thorough they "propose active and so forth. "Still they are the Representatives of the State, duly and lawfully So says the Democrat to the radicals' And so said Mark Anfony to the Romans.

Such scurvy treachery, we believe, is unexampled in the annals of Kentucky. And we trust that it will forever stand without a parallel. Special despatch to the Cincinnati Gazette. Washixutox, D.

Sept. 5. THE A.MXESTY PROCLAMATIOX BLOCKED. It is understood that the Presideut is hesitating about the form of the amnesty proclamation, having as yet found no char wny to avoid the act passed at the second session of the Thirty-ninth Congress, repealing section 13 of the Confiscation Act, which gave him power to issue an amnesty, it being held throughout the debate by the Republicans that, except by virtue of this section, the President had no authority to issue a wholesale pardon. The section repealed is the following: AmliK it furftrr enncril.

That the President is herein- authorized, jit any time hereafter, by proclamation, to extend to ju-rsons who may have par. ifclpated In the existing rebellion in any state or part thereof, pardon and amuestv, with such exceptions, at such times, aud on such conditions, as he may deem expedient for the nuulle welfare. This the President failed to sign, and allowed it to become a law. So far from its "being held throughout the debate by the Republicans that except by virtue of this section the President had no authority to issue a wholesale pardon," the very contrary was admitted by the lending Republicans who participated in the debate, insomuch, that, at the close of the debate, we doubt if a single Republican of either House held that the section was anything more than a superfluous authorization by Congress of what the Constitution itself authorizes, amounting practically to a mere recommendation on the part of Congress that the President should exercise his constitutional power in the case. This was certainly the view taken by the leading Republicans of both Houses, who avowedly supported the repeal not because it would deprive the Preside nt of the power to grant a general amnesty, but because it would withdraw the virtual recommendation of Congress in favor of such a measure.

And with this view the section was repealed. The idea that the contemplated "amnesty proclamation" is. "blocked" by the repeal is absurd. No intelligent man of any party supposes for a moment that the repeal is the slightest obstacle to a proclamation of amnesty. If a government by the people is a republican form of government, Kentucky lias one.

We are unpleasantly reminded of the fact, hut we do not deny it. Democrat. Yes, we have thought for some time that the "fact" that Kentucky has "a republican form of government" is unpleasant to you; and we believe that once or twice we have said it. It seems that we are not mistaken. riNDOW Caps.Brackiits, Capitals forColumna fihtmnur I'ntw.

Barnes, in our recent canvass repeatedly denounced it. Had he advocated such an odious measure, the vote cast for him would have been insignificant, even when compared with the small vote which he received." This opinion, we repeat, is strongly confirmed by the refusal of the Kentucky radiftals to send delegates to the negro-suffrage convention at Baltimore, if they indeed have refused. We earnestly hope that they have. If they are sincere in their profession of opposition to negro suffrage, there is no good reason why they should not unite with the Democracy in opposing it.

If they are sincere in their profession of devotion to Kentucky and the Union, there is every reason why they should with the Democracy in defending both; for there is no other way to defend either. And this is not a time wherein men who agree on essentials should stickle over unessentials.

"We sre all" he continues "embarked on the same vessel the gallant 'Old Kentucky'- and are convoying the 'Constitution' through dangerous and stormy seas.

A common fate for weal or woe-unites us in a common destiny, We should therefore stand together in harmonious action until with all our treasure wo are safely moored in the harbor of con stitutional security." This wise and man ly appeal we respectfully commend to the Kentucky radicals who hate negro suffrage and love Kentucky and the Union.

Bern. The stranger told us that his name was' Snodgrass. He said he bad been married seven years, and never had the slightest misunderstanding with his wife until the question of female suffrage began to be talked about in the city, and the women connuenced holding meetings, and agitating themselves and the rest of mankind about the matter. Mrs. iSnodgrass was the secretary of a Female Suffrage had been appointed to deliver an address ou the life and times of Horace Greeley.

For six mortal weeks, day and night, Mrs. S. had been occupied in pre-paringher address, and at this time had completed ninety pages, embracing the first 3'ear of the infant Horace. He had told her that at the rate she was going on her address would cover about three hundred thousand pages of foolscap, and she would be a grandmother before she could finish it up; and then to read it to the club would take at least nine years, and consume forty million feet of gas. Not-withsiauding these statistics, Mrs.

Snod-grass persisted on going ou with her address, to the neglect of her family duties and her husband's shirt buttons. On this night she had been puzzled to ascertain at what precise period of his infantile career the future philosopher had cut his eye-teeth, and had searched through every book in the Mercantile library for authority on the point, but all the Hora-tian writers were silent upon the fact, and she could not possibly proceed any further until it was definitely settled. "She asked uiy opinion," said Snod-grass, "and I told her I thought it was on ihe day of the battle of Buli Run, when Greeley led the attack upon the enemy's breastworks, and was repulsed; because, said you know when suckers with their eye-teeth cut attack breastworks they are generally repulsed." "Mr. Snodgrass," said she, losing the saccharine other temper, "I want, no trifling up'o'u this subject Because you are opposed to female suffrage, you make light of everything connected with the subject. Your allusion to snckers and breastworks is extremely vulgar, and unworthy the dignity of a married If you persist in treating the wife of your bosom with such contempt, I shall apply for a divorce, and go back to my ma." "My dear," said "in that election you have.

the casting vote. Get a divorce, by all means, and then you can marry Horace, and wear his breeches, and his old white coat, too, for all I care." "At this remark ray wife poked her head out of the window and cried murder arid watch at the top of her voice, and that's the way I came to be arrested." Stats Bixdek Mr: H. M.

L'nder the escort of the Doctor she was conveyed to the "Spencer," where the husband was found paciujr the corridors with frantic niein and half-crazed with grief at the mysterious disappearance of his wife, whom he believed had been spirited away by a villain, or murdered for her jewels in this "infernal city," where, as he expressed himself, they would kill a man for a dollar. As soon as he beheld his spouse he caught her to his bosom and wept like a ckikl.

He was melted with happiness at her discovery, and told her that he had searched the city for intelligence of her whereabouts. An unexpected relief comes to Chili and Peru in the orders seat from Madrid for the immediate return to Spain of the Pacific Ueet We can well imagine the wry face of Admiral Nnner, on receiving this order, at being compelled to forego the chastisement he had intended for the Chilian coast cities. It would not be surprising, however, if this event were decisive of tie Spanish-Chilian difficulty. The cause of this retrograde is probably the strong demonstrations of the Prim issnrgents in Catalonia and Arragon. It is true that the rebels have been badly beatenin aostof the lateencounters; but it must be remembered that the latest mail adTices, detailing various Government victories, only come up to August 23, while a Paris telegram of the 2Sth reports that the insurgents are again, everywhere successful in the Province of Arragon, and have even captured Saragossa, its capital.

Hence it is not at all impossible that the insurrection at this time requires the whole available military and naval force of Spain to beat hand to quell it The South American Republics may, therefore, count on a riddance from their oppressor for a time, and probably forever.
