Ninetv-four years while Xasty- husettes saints were still fattening on the African slave-trde, stuffing their pious pockets with the price of human flesh and hones and blood, the thirteen American colonics took it into their "dinloval" heads to "secede" from the "Union" with Britain, and set up "Confederacy" on their own hook 'Twa very "rebellious."

In compliance with the wishes of some of the young folks of the Caucasian circle, be "will next week, take the subject of bis "confab," some of the features of that mo.t wonderful of ths world's great thoroughfares Broadway, Aew ork scenes, siirbls, sounds and on Gotham's grand artery. Among the curiosities of the civil appropriation is an item of five thousand dollars lor fuel for the President's bouse one of a thousand dollars for Presidential flower pots, mats and twine; ono of twenty -live hundred dollars for repairs to the President's grcon-house one of ten thousand for a fence wound the grounds, and another of forty thousand dollars for lighting the whole affair This being a reform will, of course, be no trouble in rushing tbase little items through. In order to siur the enormous mag nitnde of the public debt cf this country, the Hon. J. Proctor Knolt produces the following curious statistics "Each greecbaek dollar bill is about seven inches in length.

Place of them in a line aad will be miles long I It is 25,000 around the earth. The public debt would therefor make a band of greenback dollars that could encircle the globe more than ten times It ia miles to the moon. If this is so, our debt would make a rope of greenback dollars long enough to cable the moon to the earth, and have over 10,000 mites to sag Yes, and the Hon. J. Proctor Knott got the idea and the calculation from financial article in the CArcastAN, of seme three months ago, which we marked and atnt bim; B.

Gratz Brown i a candidate for Govornor of the State, ami if nomina ted will be supported by the Democrat aud Tost, we supposo, on tha idea of the enfranchisement of the whites. Mr. Brown is an able man, a little too mercurial and wandering perhaps, but wottui mane a very lair tiovernor, if not too much given to listening to the sensational stories from the coun try, who would have their carpet-bags guarded by militia in all the counties, while they themselves protittod by il in some way. VI do not know how be stauds on that do we know a great deal ol him ot late, except that he is a radical in favor of enfranchisement, and the general fact of his undisputed ability. A large number of papers in the state, oi tue radical persuasion, are in favor of the re-election of Gov.

Mc- Clurg, and will urge bis claims before the convention. Of the Governor's private opinions in respect to the oues- tiou of enfranchisement, we aro not informed with a degree of certainty that would warrant us in redeclaring mom. vte pave understood he was for the amendment but it comes in no reliable shape, so that, betweeu these two individuals, we could scarcely at this time decide upon a choice. If McClurg, like Brown, favors enfran chisement, we should certainly prefer him. He has made us at least a quiet and harmless Governor, and has no stain oi railroad thefts or militia outrages upon him, and while he may not be a man ol as mack real ability as Mr.

Brown, be is a tried man, and safer for the people and if it is in evitablo that we must have a radical McClurg will probably do as as little harm as any on. If il is determined that no demo cratie candidate shall be roa, it is wise for democrats to choose between radi cats, and take the best. Mr. E. Winger has just returned from Mexico, where he has been to at tend a meetiog of the Board of Direc tors of the Louisiana Mo.

River Railroad Coin pan r. He informs us that all the Directors were in alten dance except Judge Thomas much business was before the Board, and prompt action taken upon all the matters presented. The roai was ordered to be put under contract through the counties of Boone and Howard, and also from In dependence to Kansas City. There is new only one gap to Le filled from Marshall to Independence, and this will then complete the whole line. The Engineers were ordered to make a aew survey from KerdoltFs mill in Lexington, to the Jackson county line, to connect with the survey already-made in that ceanty.

The right ef way was also ordered to be taken on the line from Marshall to Lexington, running on the ridge south of Waverly aud Dover, and which is known as the Broadhead survey. This is cow considered the best line that can be rua through the county, upon whieh the money can be which comes to Lexington. Sam I. L. Sawyer, has gone, with Presideat Block aad Maj.

Campbell, the Attorney ot the Company to Chicago, to write up and fix all the details of the contract recently made with the Chicago Alton R. R. preparatory to being signed by the contracting parties. Shields v. Van Horn.

The election commute of tho House mob in Con gress have decided to report against Gen. shields claim to a seat in Con gress which sustains the bold and out rageous robbery of old Rodman. How such a decision is arrived at it is not worth while to inquire. The same committee, just at the end of the session, report in favor of Cel. Switzler and against Dyer, which is about as strange as in the other case.

We are indebted to Mr. Caeseriy of California fer bis great speech on the fifteenth amendment, delivered oa the 21st of May, 1870, in which the gen tleman shows up the provisions of the bill as being intended "to control by the Federal, Civil, and Military Power, the whole subject of registration and elections in the United States." The whole country is indebted to Mr. Casserly for his speeches. Preparations of the most liberal description are making for the next St. Louis Fair.

A new pageda is to be constructed of the following dimensions 3 stories high, HO feet at base, 90 feet to top of roof, and 160 feet to top cf flag staff. Hog special premiums bow amount to 11,300, and it is expected the cotton premiums will run up to 85,000. Wrn. Bradford, of Vernon county, drowned himself a few days ago, near Nevada City. Whisky is said to Lave been the cause of it.

But that is nothing. Drinkers will say, "uh I well if it served ms so, I weald quit," and that weald end it. A white woman, the wife of a de- caase northern soldier, baa been turn ed out of the Fourth Auditor's office of the Treasury Department, to make room for Kate V.

Louis and tho State, are both favoring tho constitutional amendment removing disabilities from those persons who have so long been under the ban of registration in this State. It is not nooessary to state the grounds for litis course. It is enough to say of it that it is liberal and right.aud argues well for the conservatism of the ed't- well as thoir superior judgment. Tho Kaunas City Journal, instead of coming out boldly for the right, as the Democrat and Post do, if it does not disfavor the measure, is said to be threatening the ex-rebels with its direst punishment as a means of inducing them to become radical and vote to keep Van Horn in Congress, or some other lucrative placeor the balance of his natural life. The Democrat and Post deserve the thanks of the people for their course, and will receive it.

A SCENE IN THE HOUSE. Fron the Siew York Aavrtjer, June ism, It has never been doubted that, as a general thing, our Congressmen are a jolly set of dgs. Yesterday, members, betore repairing to tne ly fortified themselves against the arduous duty of discussing tho Cuban resolutions, and even went there luiiy supplied with the liquid aliment. This feet is woll established, not only by tho number of empty soda water bottles which were afterword pieked up in the capitol grounds, but also by the style aud language of the debate. Observe particularly the report of extraordinary sounds said to have proceeded from tho mouth of Butlar.

The great man had declared that our gov ernment gavo Cuba the same chance it did Spain, whereupon Sam. Randall, in a fiery, aad yet analytical frame of mindjShouted out from the Democratic side: "Where When Name the time and place, won't you?" Benny paid not the slightest at ten lion to Randall's barbed interrogato ries. Then Samuel stood upon bis tip toes and raising his voice to the high est pitch, phriekcd "Which? Where? How? When? Benny looked as demoralized as a green militiaman in ashoweroi grape shot, and stretching bis not small mouth to its full capacity, uttered this response "Bah! Bah! Bah Once more Randall demanded, with increased earnestness: "When? Where? How?" And once more Benny maJa mysterious answer: the "liah I Bah I Bab Hereupon a sharp voice in the gal lery yelled oat "Won't somebody choke that old sheep At this cheerful proposal all the spec tc.tors roared with laughter, and the lobbies caught it up and roared too, and then the Speaker rapped his gavel until it broke, and the hammer bound ed over the desk, striking the Clerk upon the head, and there was what Joe Bagstock would call a "devilish jolly time" all round but where, when and how the government has given Cuba the same chance as Spain remains as much of a conundrum us ever.
