This sentence was left incomplete, but can be easily finished. The wicked flea, when no man pursueth, sits upon the wall and tries to find out who seems most comfortable, so as to attack him.

"Pa," asked Laura, looking up from the political columns of the Kawkeye, "Pa, who is the man on horseback the papers are talking about so much ? "Robinson," broke in her brother Bill "feller that was here with Barnum's circus." And Immediate ly he began to wonder if there was enough lead pipe and copper-bottomed kettles about the house to get him a ticket this summer, while Laura read on and wondered what such a man could have to do with the Presidency. A handsome young man in Rome was surprised In the street by receiving a sounding box on his ears from a pretty young woman whom he had never seen before. Presently she found that she was boxing the wrong man's ears. She blushed and apologized so successfully that the young man was Interested, and resolved to see her again. He came, he saw; she was a shop girl in America a saleslady he loved, and offered to throw in his hand with his heart and she didn't have him! NEWSPAPER MISR E PRESENTATIONS. Exaggerations of Hangings and Stories of Rats and Cochroaches. r Salisbury Watchman. Our contemporary of the Hillsboro Recorder, has undertaken to correct the false reports put in circulation by the Northern dailies concerning the execu tion of the Chapel Hill robbers. It is a very difficult task, as they can and will, easily tell six falsehoods while he is correcting one. Exaggeration and misrepresentation is more the trade of the Northern dailies than telling the simple truth. The New York Observer, of the 27th, tells a very amusing story of a young man the editor met on "a street car, whose especial busiuess in connection with one of the leading city dailies was to write up exaggerations ; and the f el low by way of explaining his business more fully, opened one of the papers he had in his hand, and showed what he got up about the rata of Japan. Said he didn't know whether there were any rats at all in that country but he had described them as about the size of dogs and terribly fierce. He was pre paring a series of articles on the cock roaches of China, and asked Mr. Prime if he knew anything about them. Our venerable friend of the Recorder will no doubt visit Beaufort oh the 16th proximo, and we admonish him to re serve himself for something - worth while: It has been a long time since the sandfiddlers were well written up, and we feel sure it would be a plea -anter and more profitable job than the one on hand.

Thus; majority is enthroned, jClus error of considering the numerical' majority as the only ma jority has tended more than aught else to prevent the formation, of popular governments, or to destroy them after f ormataon Were the numerical major ity the people, a government organized on the numerical principle, would be a fair government : But since the numer ical majority is only a portion' of the people, . there is, in such case, no self government, no government of the peo- Ble, or by the people, or for the people, ut -the . government of the major por tion over the minor pf the part over the whola 2. A second error springing from con founding the two majorities . is this: Organism comes to be regarded a wrongful restriction under the im pression that organism interferes with the rights of the people. It is obvious that if the majority be deemed the peo ple, any organism that restricts the ma jority will be held a wrongful restric tion on the people. 3. A third error is that written con stitutions are of themselves sufficient to counteract the tendency of the numeri cal majority to oppression. Written constitutions cannot, without proper or ganism, prevent government from abus ing its power. To prove this history is full of illustrations.; The facts of the case not less plainly establish the proposition. The written constitu tion is but anindia rubber band to be stretched or contracted at the will of the majority. ' The "majority will construe the constitution so as to enlarge their powers and get a sanc tion for their abuse of power. The minority, on the other hand, will con strue the constitution elosely so as to find in it protection. The majority will use the constitution as a sword to as sail ; the minority as a shield to pro tect The dominant party will be lib eral constructionists : The subject par ty, strict constructionists. , Thus, under written constitutions the major and the minor portion of the community will struggle for a proper construction of the constitution. ' The ' result of op posing constructions will be that the majority will carrythe day, and when ever it suits their purpose will encamp outside of the constitution. Thus writ ten constitutions in themselves and without proper organism, that is a cer tain self-regulating interior structure, give no protection to minorities, and in themselves, without other agencies, do not make up constitutional govern ments. And yet confound the two ma jorities and men come to consider writ ten constitutions in themselves suffi cient to meet the ends of government. How fallacious the idea! How fatal the error. On this point Hammond one of the ablest men that South Caro lina has ever produced the peer in in tellect of any American statesman of his day says that no government can exist long by mere paper stipulations. He adds: written constitutions,' said Anacharsis to Solon, 'are but spiders' webs, which hold only the poor and weak, while the rich and powerful easi ly break through.' Solon thought Oth erwise, but lived to see the government he established completely overthrown. Lycurgus, more Wise, forbade written laws. His principles were durably im pressed, by training from childhood, on the . minds and manners of his people, and interwoven with the whole social fabric. And. they governed the Spar tans for six centuries or more. In mod ern France no enacted constitution has survived five years, while the constitu- tion of England, resting on traditions and occasional acts and charters ap pears to bid defiance to time and pro gress,. Those governm ents only can en dure which spring naturally from the sociaF system and are habitually sus tained "by -it And written, artificial constitutions are indeed ' but spiders' webs if they do not continually draw their vital breath from the same living source."" 4. Another error proceeding from confounding the two majorities is that the division of governments into de partments prevents the tendency to abuse of power. This isan error be cause if the numerical principle pre vails, the majority will seize some one or all of the departments, and, in spite of the division, hold its sway. It is ob viously only when one department of government has a negative on the ac tion of the others that we can prevent the liability to abuse of power. But this done, the concurrent principle is en throned. . .... We have thus shown four distinct er rors that arise trom confoundiug the concurrent with the numerical princi- Ele; and have shown the necessity of idling back on the concurrent princi ple to save government from abuse of power and to make it subserve the nigh ends' for which.it is established among men. , ; '- J.
