On a fine evening In the opi-intr ot 1830, a Btvnnger, taonnted on a nol>le- looking hoi'so, pnMfed slowly over the snow-white limi'frtone ro«d leading through the Black Forest. Just as the nun WOK going to rest for ihodft-, when gWrtV •Wowe were lie- ginning to stalk, ho drew rein as he laid— \This must bo nekr the »pot, aurely. I'll stop hero, ajiyho't, for awhile, and »ee what I oan^enrn. • He thereupon dismounted tind enter- ed the pmiov of the inn, wliero he sal down before a small table. \ How cttn I *ervo you, meinheer ?\ said the landlord. \Sec to my homo outside,\ replied the guest, carelessly, but at the same time eyeing the landlord from head to foot; \ aim let me have some wino— Hhine will do.\ Tho landlord was turning to with- draw from tho stranger'* presence, when he stopped and said— \ Which way do you travel ?'' \ To Kaustadt,\ replied hia guest. \ You will rest here tonight, I sup- pose?\ continued the landlord. • \ I will stay here for two or three hunr-1 but I must then be off, sotito reach my destination in the morning. I am going there to purchase' lumber for iho market.\ 41 And you have considerable money with you, no doubt?\ asktii'thu land- lord, innocently. \ Yes, considerable,\ replied tho the guest sipping at his wine disinterested- 'y- \Then if you'll take my advice,\ said the landlord,\ you'll stay here till morn- ing-\ \ Why ?\ queried the stranger, look- ing up curiously. \ Because,\ whispered the lantllard, looking around as if he were disclosing a great secret and was afraid of being hoard by somebody else, •• every man who has passed over the road between this and Nausta\3t at night, for the last ten years, has been robbed or murdered utnU'.r Vi-ry singular circumstances.\ \ \Vhat were the singular circum- stances ?\ asked the stranger, putting down his glass empty, and preparing to fill it again. \ Why, you see,\ the landlord went on, while ho approched his guest's table and took a set,t, \ 1 have spoken with si'vorsi! who have beenrolUjeJ,;'BnCl all I con!.! learn from them is that they re- member meeting in the loncsomcsi part of iho wood a thing that looked white and glia>tly, and frightened their horses so that they either ran away or threw their riders; hfter that all was confusion with them ; they felt a choking sensation and a sort of smothering, and finally died, as they thought, but awoke in an hour or' so to find themselves lying by the roadside robbed ol every thing.\ \ Indeed !\ ejaculated the stranger, looking abstractedly at the rafters in the ceiling, as though ho was more in- tent upon cutting them than he was interested in the landlord's story. The innkeeper looked at him in amaze- ment. Such perfect coolness he had not. witnessed in a long lime. \ You will remain, then ?\ suggested the landlord, after waiting some time for his guest to speak. \I?\ cried the stranger, starting from his fit of abstraction »s thong)) he were not the person addressed. \ O, most certainly not j I'm.going straight ahead, ghost or no ghost, to night.\ Half an hour later the stranger and a guide, called Wilhelm, were out on the road, going at a pretty round pace to- ward Naustadt. During a flash of lightnins the stran- ger observed that his guide looked very uneasy about something, and was slack- ening his horse's pace as though ho in tended to drop behind. \ Lead on,\ cried the stranger, \ don't be afraid.\ , \ I'm af> •'id I cannot,\ replied the person addressed continuing to hold back his horse, until he was at least a length behind his companion. '' My horse is cowardly, and becomes un- manageable iu a thunder-storm, Ii you will go on through, I think I can make him follow close enough to point out the road.\ The stranger pulled up instantly. A strange liuht gleamed in his eyes, while his hand sought his breast-pocket, from which he drew something. The guide saw the movement, and.stopped also. \ Guides should lead, not follow,\ said the stranger, quietly, but. with a firmness which seemed to he exceed- ingly unpleasant to the person address cd. \ But,\ faltered the guide, \ my horse won't go.\ \Won't he?\ queried the stanger, with mock simplicity in his tone. The guide, heard a sharp click, and saw something gleam in his compan- ion's right hand. He seemed to under- stand what it meant perfectly, for he} immediately drove his spurs into his horse's flanks, and shot ahead of his companion without another word, lie no sooner reached his old posi- tion, however, than the stranger saw him give a short tarn to the right, and disappear, as though he had vanished through the thick foliage of the trees skirting the road. The stranger dashed np to the spot, and saw that his gnide had turned down a narrow lane leading from the road in- to the heart of the wood. He hoard the- clatter of his horse as he galloped off. Without waiting an other instant, he touched his horse lightly with therein, givejiim a prick started like tho •vtifrd in tire wake of the flying guide. Tho stranger's horse being much su- perior to the other's, the race was n short one, and torminated by th« gtfidtf being nenriy thrown from his saddle by bond which was laid upon his bridle, stopping him n heavy He turned in his seat, and beheld the stranger's face, dark and frowning, and. trembling violently as lie felt the smooth, cold barrel of a pistol pressed against his cheek. \This cursed beast almost ran away with me,\ cried the guide, composing himself ns well as ho could under the circumstances. \ Yes, 1 know,\ said his companion, dryly; \but mark my words, voting man, it your horso plays such tricks again he'll be the means of seriously injuring his master's health.\ They both turned and cantered back to tho road. When they reached it again, and turned tho heads of thair animals in the right diret tion, the stran get* said to his guide, in a tone which must have convinced his hearer as to his earnestness— \ Now, friend Wilhelm, I hope we understand each other for the rest of the journey. Yon are to continue on ahofppf me, in the right road, without swerving either.to the right or to the left. If 1 see you do any thing suspi- cions, I will drive a brace of bullets through yon without another word of notice. Now push on.\ The guide started on as directed, but it, was evident from his movements and his twitterings that he was alarmed tit something else beside tho action of his follower. In the meantime the thunder had in- creased in its violence, and the flashes of the lightning had become more fre- quent and blinding. For about a mile the two horsemen rode on in silence ; the guide ecpinr. up to his directions to the letter, while his follower watched his every move- ment, as a cat would watch a mouse. Suddenly the guide stopped and looked behind. Asrain he heard the click of the stranger's, pistol and saw his uplifted arm. \ Have mercy, meinheir,\ he groaned I dare not go pn.\ \ 1 give yon three seconds to goon,\ replied the'stranger, sternly—\ One!\ \In Heaven's name, spare,\ implor- ed the guide, almost overpowered with (V.lr, >- lv>wk V.^»<..-o.,r»t. in VlIC lOtll l Klll i you will nut blame me.\ The stranger looked and he saw something white standing motionless in the ceiitte of the road, but presently a flash of lightning lit up the scene, and he saw that the white figure was, indeed ghastly and frightful enough looking to chill the blood in the \eins of even the bravest man. If his blood chilled for a moment, therefore, it was not through any fear that he fell for his ghostly in- tercepter, for the next instant he set his teeth hard! while he whispered between them, just loud en' ugh to be heard by his terror-stricken guide— \ Be it man or devil—ride it down— I'll follow. Two •\. With a cry of despair upon his lips, the guide urged 'his,horse ! at the top of his speed, quickly followed by the stran- ger, who held his pistol ready in his hand.; In another moment the guide would have s;wept by the dreaded spot, but at that iastant.the report of a pistol rang through the forc-t, and the stranger heai'd a horso gallop off through' the wood riderless. Finding himself slone, the stranger raised his pistol, took deliberate aim at .the ghostly murderer, and pressed his fingjr upon the trigger. The apparation approached quickly, but in no hostile attitude. The strati ger stayed his hand. At length the ghost addressed him in a voice that was any thing but sepulchral— \ Here, Wilhelm, ye mope out of your perch this minute and given help- ing hand. I've hit tho game while on the wing/haven't I ?\ Tho stranger was nonplussed for a moment, but ! recovering' himself, he grumbled something unintelligible and leaped to the ground. One word to his horse, and tho brave animal stood perfectly still. By the snow-white trappings on the would be ghost, he was next enabled lo grope his way in the dark toward that individual, whom he found bending over a mass about the size of a man on the, road. As the tiger poimces r iipon his pre.y, the stranger leaped upon the stooping figure,.hetore him, and bore him to the ground,, \I arrest you in the king's name,\ cried the stranger,gr.-.sping his prisoner by the throat and holding him tipht. '•Slit hand or foot until I have you properly secured, and I'll send your soul to eternity.\ This was suuh an unexpected Jtiirn of affairs that the would-be ghost could not believe his senses, and was • hanrl- [•cuftVd and stripped of his dagger and pistol before he found breath to speak. \ And yon «ie not my Wilhelm ?\ \ No, landlord,\ replied the individ ual, addressed, \ I'm not. But I'm , an officer of the king, at your service, on special duty to do what I have to-night accomplished'. Your precious son,], Wilhelm, who thought he was leading a sheep to the slaughter, lies there in the road, killed by a father's hand.\ Two weeks later at Brnchsale ptison, in Baden, the landlord of the Sign of the Deer, and the Ghost Ropper of the Black Forest, was the identical person, having been proven guilty of numerous fiendish murders and artfully conirived with \the rowels, and of? tho animal]robberies, committed at different times in the Black Forest, paid 1 iirfc penWfy of his crimes* by letting fad iiiiUhadd be fore the e«eoutiop^ y s sjco„ jsino*. wheu trpyelling .fcljj) Sehpt^WAJd JIBS. not been sb perilous to» lire and purser nor has tlfero 1 'been fee* ihf 'flWftly; Bfoifijtt,-ttf Uir&Oid ill that «eclibn ot tb^^fWld. •>!„hr!ur.'» .

The Radical ma- jority, by a strict party vote, depleted the Convention adjourned until the 12th day of November next, one week after the coming election. As the Convention, by the terms of the law under which it was eleiited, was to prepare a Constitution to. be submit led to tho people on the 5th of November next, and* as it 1 has failed to do so and dispersed, it has legally ceased to exist. It cannot possibly perform the duty with which it was charged. And since by the very-terms of the law, its work was to be closed before the election,, its acts after that time can have no binding effect; and it is more than doubttnl whether any leg- islature pa.ii give validity to its future meeting. It has, proved a miserable abortion ; an expensive, but useless farce. Not less than $250,000 has thus been thrown away—in fact, worse than thrown away, for an amendment of the Constitution that will relieve the suit- ill's ot the Court of Appeals is a pressing necessity, and that 'might have been perfeotcui in some other method if the work had not been entrusted to this Convention. In other respects, the present Constitution is as good as any one likely to be framed by this Conven- tion, and will answer all practical pur- poses for twenty years to come. ' The Democratic minority, through out the session have labored to hasten the work of the Convention by abstain- ing from political discussion or from dilatory proceedings. Their course in this regard ha* been repeatedly ac- knowledged and- commended by the Radical members. When the project of final adjournment was announced, they endeavored earnestly to provide for the submission of an amondmeni in regard to the Court of \Appeals and, since the majority desired renewed ac- tion on the suttragequiAfjtiort, tliey a<1d' ed that as an additional subject to be submitted, but the proposition w.as voted down by the Radicals, and the Convention dispersed'without leaving to the people one single advantage-front its expensive and prolonged session. ,,; The adjournment is either an evidence oi the utter incapacity of the maj'ori'y, or tho proof of a design on thei'v part to juggle and defraud' ihii people. !Mun who could not, ,,pre.pare tho- needed amendments to the Con.s.ijtnt.ioii,in a session of four month',' with the day fixed by law when they should submit their work to the people, are'clearly unfit for such a trust. Men who would not do it, but have delayed until time, for action had passed!, with the deliber- ate purpose of postponing a decision upon the amendments by the people, are clearly guilty of grods public fraud. The fact that a Democratic majority in the State this fuli, is indicated by the results plsew.here and by the signs of the times, is' no reason why the Con- vention should' refuse to perform Its duty; and withhold its articiidmen's from submission at the time fixed by law. Iu either case—whether the fruit less adjournment has been the conse- quence of imbecility and trickery—the Convention deserves the emphatic con- demnation of the peoplej [From tho N. Y. World.] When the Convention meets on the I2lh of November, it will, be as desti- tute of any legal authority as a caucus. It was-authorized by law to frame a Constitution to be submitted to the people for ratification in the geticfal election this fall. It has no authority lo frame ft Cortstituiion to be submit ted at any other-time. An adjourn, ment past that election js in law, what ever ihe Republicans may pretend, equivalent to an adjournment 'sUU die, and the Convention is dead by a fapwe of its authority.\ The Republicans will acknowledge thisafler the\election they find they have been beaten. They have as yet a faint hope*bf 'success, and wish to avail themselves of all possible chance's. Tjr'they stiohlil 'elect tihe next Legislature, they might expect from it a revival ot defunct authority ora sane tion of illegal proceedings, and so they propose to meet after the election to hold an ihqtie'Bt on the ConVenti >h.— They will certainly be' beaten;'and in that oasa the Republicans will Confess that the Convention died op the 24th of September. —When whisky IR 6asy' De\ttiocraey is firm.—ATI Y. fribttne.
