Butler, Secretary. despotism TRIUMPHANT I After long and weary night sessions, the Bump Congress, on Wednesday of last week, passed the infamous Military District Bill, which upsets tho present Stategovcrnmeuts of the South, carving them into districts, to be under the com maud of military satraps! Was it for tliis our brave veterans fought and died ? Was it for mch a Union that so much treasure was expended? And is this the “no conquest spirit” loudly pro fessed in the Congress of 1802? Its title should have been amended as was sug gested by Senator Doolittle, viz—“A bill not to restore civil government, but to organize hell in the Southern States.” In the face of the late decision of the Supreme Court, and in defiance of its decree, tho third section of the bill au thorizes the trial of civilians by a mili tary court, and no appeal to any other tribunal is to he allowed. The bill, (as embraced in the letter of “ Causasian,” in last week’s Volunteer,) should be read ever and over again by the people. The more it is read and understood, the more infamous its pro visions appear. Never in the history of any nation, was a measure so devil ish and despotic proposed. Of course the President will veto this vile revo lutionary bill, but the Eadicals, having a triumphant majority of over two thirds in both Houses, will, it is believ ed, pass it over the veto, and thus make it a law. The Supreme Court may then once more be appealed to, and if it decides the act unconstitutional and revolutionary, the whole question will again he at sea, and the nation will con tinue to be convulsed with intestine feuds, and finally sink into the “slough of despond.” Trade will be at a dead stand, and prostration, stagnation and anarchy may follow. In the name of common decency, is there to be no end to this state of af fairs? In their attempts to punish, era poverish and degrade the people of the South, the rumpers are bringing deso lation to the North also. A divided people cannot prosper, nor can a divided nation long survive. Letthe apprehen sions of the South bo quieted—let peace ful counsels prevail—let the legally elec ted-members of Congress from the Southern States be admitted to their seats—let strife cease—and in less than sixty days the bow of promise will ap pear m the political firmament, and the life-blood .of prosperity will bound ■ through every artery of production, trade and commerce. It is time the Radical meShbers of the Bump Congress were given to under stand that their treason has been put up with long enough and 100 long. The people should speak out in public meet ings and through the press against the base conspirators, who for two years have menaced the peace and seriously injured the credit of the government.— Let the people, we repeat, speak out in tones of thunder against the treasonable doings of Sumner, Stevens, Satan & Co. IIOUK FRIENDSHIP FOB TUB “ BOYM IN The Senate of tire United States, in its eagerness to slaughter President Johnson’s appointees, is making a mighty bad record for itself, and is show ing up its love for the “ boys in blue” in a very unenviable light. It has al ready rejected scores of noble and de serving soldiers, for no other reason than that they received their commis sions from Andrew JohriHL Patriot ism, faithful service and wounds, have no influence with that contemptible ca bal of fanatics, if the applicants for- of fice do not endorse the negro heresies and disunion plans of the Radical lead ers. We notice that, on Saturday last, the nominations of Colonel Andrew J. Pulton, for Assessor of the loth District, and Captain W. Penn Lloyd for Collec tor, wererejected. It would be difficult, amongst the soldiers who volunteered in defense of the Union from this Dis trict, to find two more deserving gentle men than Colonel Fulton and Captain Lloyd. They entered the service short ly after the breaking out of the war, and served with distinction during its con tinuance. Since they entered upon the duties of their respective offices they have won for themselves high charac ters for promptitude, efficiency, and honesty m their dealings with the De partment; and by their uniform cour tesy and kindness, have won golden opinions from those with whom they were brought into contact in the rela tions of business. To reject the nomi nations of officers with military and official records such ns these gentlemen can present, argues a degree of petty partisan malignity which is seldom reached by any party. By their rejec tion these gentlemen have been placed on an honorable roll, along with such men as Gen. Couch, Gen. Curtis, Gen. Eagen, Col. Grierson and scon s of other brave soldiers who have fallen under the ban of Radical displeasure. We understand that a full record of .these rejections, together with the personal history and military record of each offi cer, Is being prepared, which when it shaji. be published will be conclusive evidence as to who qfe the friends of “the boys in blue.” i ■ RADICALISM MtSTlftE. The nogro-equality-clisuriionists ire evidently conscious that they are abqut “played out” ns a party. ; They feel that thoyVhave outraged public senti ment, and that their course in Congress is calculated if not intended, to embar rass the country,-and to bring ruin to the commercial and financial centres. The cry that now comes-up from the businessmen of the country, demanding that something be done to restore con fidence and to unite the States, has caused alarip in the Radical camp.— Hence the effort of the rurapers to ob tain the aid, of the ignorant blacks to save them from the doom which the white Uien of the nation ed shall overtake them. By forcing ne gro-suffrage on the States the disunion ists hope to retain their power, and thus be enabled to, go on in their infer nal efforts to destroy the Government., But this last desperate expedient will not avail the conspirators.' They have made war on the Constitution and the laws, and they must, ns a party, go un der. Radicalism must die. It is the child of passion and prejudice, and as such, cannot look forward to a long ex-, intense among a sensible people. Tire waves may, for a while run mountain high, but they will soon be lullcd-into a long and profound repose. We are no prophets, nor the sons of prophets, nor does it require the ken of a seer to pierce the veil of the future and discov er the destiny of the party in power.— The triumph of an enemy of the public weal is a short-lived triumph. Even among imaginative Frenchmen it se cured supremacy, bttb for a few years, and they were years of terror. Among a sober, practical people, as we are, It lias not the ghost of a chance. Though deceived by the sophistry of dema gogues, Americans may, for a time, be come the champions of error, they are as quick to perceive, and as quick to abandon, when perceived, any mischie vous principle. The'Democracy bears impressed upon it these happy charac teristics ; in fact, it is the mirror of the mind and thought of the intelligent masses of our countrymen. It is the wholesome fruit of our excellent Con stitution, shaping the views and actions of a people eminently prudent, gener ous, and practical. Hence it has always looked -to the substantial good of the whole country, and never suffered its elf to fall in love with any dangerous or visionary theory. Hence it has always loudly condemned and opposed any measure,tending to benefit ono section to .the detriment of another. Cast in the mould ofjmpartial justice and equal ity, it has ever held a firm hold on the affections of our people, and, with little interruption, has been the triumphant loader on the broad road of political and material-progress. The ever honest de fenderand expounderofthe Constitution it lias so farsuccessfqlly wrestled with tlie Proteus-shaped foe that lias opposed it on thepolitical field. In fact, the history of parties shows that to gain a victory over the Democracy has been for Its oppo nents a blow from which they never re cover. The reason is evident. Opposed to the Democracy, they are necessarily opposed to the Constitution. Advanced to power, they find themselves in an awkward dilemma; if they attempt to carry out the specious principles which were their war-cry at the hustings, they must infringe on' the spirit or. letter of the Constitution, and thus bring upon themselves the odium of the nation ; if, on the other hand, they fail to do so, they are justly denounced as political tricksters, as unprincipled aspirants to power. We could easily trace the many shapes which the often conquered foe of De mocracy has taken, until its last disguise in the showy garb of Radicalism. That it has been so long successful under its new name, is owing not to any inherent vitality, but to a lucky train of circum stances. The war into which the South was driven by the insolent dogmatism of New England and the not less culpa ble rashness of its own leaders, gave a vigor and life to Radicalism, which were not its own. Once that the negro has been quietly disposed of, Radical ism will sink into the grave, to join the many brothers who have gone be fore It, in the sleep from which there is no leaking. Sprung from passion and cradled in fanaticism, it lias no claims for favor, but on the btgotryand violent prejudices of the-hour. Knowing the character of our people, we are sure that they will not suffer themselves to be long held bound in the spells of such an ignoble witchery, and that, ere many months are passed, there will be a ter rible reaction against the men and measures of this turbulent season. The Democracy will again shine out upon the darkness, to cheer and comfort, by the wisdom of its language and the pru dence and the moderation of its conduct, the millions who have gone through such a long and troubled night of doubt and affliction. Another Raid on the Treasury. —The bill just passed by the Bump House, says the Patriot & Union, enti tled “an act for the equalization of boun ties,” gives 8100 to every soldier, for his entire term of service, but deducts from this all local, State or Government boun ties previously received by the soldier. According to this arrangement the sol diers of Pennsylvania, Now York, New Jersey and Now England, who received local ami State bounties, will receive nothing, but the soldiers of the western and northwestern States, who were giv en no local or State bounty, and the ne gro soldiers, will be tho only ones to re ceive any benefits from the bill. This is certainly unjust to those States whose people rewarded their own soldiers, but the high tariff Radicals of this and the Yankee States were compelled to give the western States a “gobble” at the Treasury, as an ofiset against their own design to rob the consumers to enrich a few manufacturers. The N. Y. Tribune says, “ if wecould stop the stream of calumnious fabrica tion which ever sets in all directions from Washington city, and whereby ouf correspondents are often imposed upon, it would subtract much from tho bitterness of life.” The same paper de clares that “it seems quite unreasona ble and harsh that men who are to-day hearty Unionists—who love the Repub lic ahd its flag, and are ready to fight, for the integrity 6f the' one and the ho nor of the other—should be denied a voice in the Government because they were rebels years ago.” So it must seem to any honest and Union-loving man.' übdrani iob law-breakers. -'.-The following Bill was called up ip) the‘ House, by Mr.Wilsou, of; lowa, ori ; Bat-, arc!ay last, arid after a debate of half an. hour, was passed:* ' . - ■ h Be it enacted by the Senate and House nf Jiejiresen tntives, in Oanf/ress assembled, Thai all acts. procla mations ami orders of tho I’rcshlentof tlio United Slates, or nets done by his authority or approval, afer tho 4th of March.

It is despot ic, unconstitutional, anti-republican and liberty-destroying. It is an attempt to prevent tho punishment of military upstarts and- cowards who amused themselves during tho war in persecu ting, arresting and destroying the lives and property of men who refused to square their actions nccoMing to the .demands of an infamous administration | an attempt to prohibit the civil courts from reviewing the proceedings of mil itary courts in tho past, and intended to prevent just such action ns tlio Supreme Court had taken in tlio Milligan case. During the four- years of the war, hundreds and thousands of men were arrested and cast into prisons and forts, without warrant and without law, and after suffering for months, and in some cases for years, were released from con finement and permitted to find thei* homes as best they could, without ft word of explanation. One old man re siding in Columbia county, aged seven ty years, was dragged from his homo and east into a fort, and at the end of two months his corpse was sent homo to his family in a rough box. He had died of grief and hunger,.and to this day his family are ignorant of the cause of his arrest and incarceration. Ho was a Democrat, and lived in Senator Buck - alew’s county, and the only object of his arrest was to strike terror into the Democratic ranks of Columbia county. The military satraps guilty of similar outrages all over the country, feeling that they have violated the law and are amenable to its rigors, now hope to es cape the punishment they deserve by the operation of an indemnity act, which legalizes all their unlawful do ings. But, this indemnity act of the rump will not avail them. No man guilty, of crime can have that crime legalized by legislation, nor will any court take cognizance of such act of Congress. , The villains who violated, the law, by unlawfully arresting, and sometimes murdering their fellow men, will yet be tried, found guilty, and sent to the c/r irrmg'pJ. ..^liAof. tempt to legalize their infamies should add to their punishment when they are brought to trial. SOMETHING BEHIND THE SCENES. There is a great deal of truth in the following article, which we clip from the Clinton Democrat. The day may come when the people will be made ac quainted with Me dark plot that cul minated in the hanging of an innocent woman. Already one witness who tes tified against Mrs. Surratt before the drum-head court ipartial, has been con victed of perjury, and is now confined in a penitentiary. He was a tool in the employ of Stanton and Holt 11 There is something behind the scenes” that re quires ventilation. Many people be lieve that Booth washover killed at all; and tho cutting of the dead body (said to be Booth’s) into pieces, and dropping them into the sea, as food for sharks, give color to this opinion. A large re ward was offered for Booth “ dead or alive,” and the wretch Baker got the lion’s share of tho reward, notwith standing he had nothing to do with the discovery or shooting of the man said to bo Booth. It is more than probable that the man shot in the barn by Bos ton Corbett, was not Booth; but for the purpose of filching some fifty thousand dollars from the Treasury, none except Stanton’s tools were permitted to see the dead body, and thus the blood-mo ney was secured to a set of Republican vultures, who made no efforts to arrest the murderers of President Lincoln un til Stanton (without authorityof law,) had offered enormous rewards for their capture. Oh, there is something mys terious in all this business, but some day all may be revealed, and the dark transactions brought to light. But to the remarks of the Clinton Democrat; . "Tho Swartara arrived a few days ago, with John H. Surratt, as a prisoner on board. The prisoner, heavily Ironed, was at ojico conveyed to a prison in Washington city, and there con fined. Already tho Internals arc whetting their fangs and licking their bloody Jaws, in anticipa tion of another victim, and the question is shall simple Justice be done; or. shall the country wit ■ ness the spectacle of another sacrifice to appease tho wraith of tboTlllnois martyr? The country lias not yet forgotten that most atrocious of all mprdors, tho hanging of tho Innocent mother of tho boy now a prisoner In a Washington prison. A most heinous crime; it was, before which tho shooting of Lincoln and tho murderous attack upon an old man In hla bed. pales into Insignifi cance. It was a deed surpassing In infamy tho murder of Emmett and the diabolism of Jeffries and as It was the first so let it bo the last blot of tho kind upon tho American escutcheon.— 'Thanks to tho Supremo Court tho day of drum head court-martials and shoulder-strapped wo men-hangers Is passed. Surratt will undoubted ly bo tried by a Jury of »»c«, and if found guilty, punished within tho scope and Intent of the law.’ \Ve arogladthafhe has been captured; and re joice still more that it was not effected until now. when a civil court can faithfully and fairly try his case. There Is something behind th 6 scenes, In connection with tho assassination plot, which nothing but an impartial civil tribu nal can bring to light, and wo are anxious for the matter to proceed. The people desire to'know wliy, if Booth was really the person killed In tho barn. It was necessary to destroy the body be fore proper identification was procured, and al so, how many witnesses like Conover were-sub orned, and how.much Stanton and his tool, Ba ker, paid for them per diem. These and numer ous other obscure questions need clearing up. Let tho.trial proceed, and in the meantime let tho prisoner bo well guarded, or some morning the report may go out that ho has comraUtcu suicide i/) A very convenient manner to avoid unpleasant disclosures. Ex-Govebnob Cubtxn will sail for Europe next week. None of his family will accompany him. He expects to bo absent ati&ut three months, and to ex tend his trip into Italy. On his return he will resume his former residence at Bellefonte. - Dead.— James Wallace, Esq.) an old and highly esteemed citizen of Harris burg, died at his residence, In that'city) on Friday last; For a half century or more he was Secretary and Treasurer of the Harrisburg Bridge Company, NKlf ■■ xhe Democfati are making a vigorous ;jlght in Now'Hampshire, and aro not ; without hopb.of success. Hon. John. G. Sinclair,’ the,democratic candidate ■ for Governor, is a host in liimself. Below we give an extract from the speceli ho delivered at Colebrook a few days ago. Bead hisstatesmaullkosontimcnts,eve rybody, and then compare,them with the miserable fustian and treasonable declarations of our radical-uegro-equali ty orator of the day. The greatness of the one and the littleness of the other, will he made apparent. In answer to the question, “is it dangerous to per mit the population of ten States of the Union to participate in the affairs of he government*?’ Mr. Sinclair said : If this bo dangerous, who can estimate tho danger -which would bo the natural and Inevita ble rosnltbf their exclusion, by tenoning by the most Imrn'esslvo and fatal lesson possible to bo taught to six millions of people, that they aro a proscribed race; that tho doors of political po sition, aye of decent livelihood, are forever closed to them : that they are tho Irish of England, tho Poles of Russia, tho Hungarians of Austria, anti tho Christians of Turlcoy, compelled to learn tho lesson of undying hatred themselves, and leach and transmit it with Increasing vlrnlencoto their, children and tholrchildren’s children? Was the object of tho late terrible strife, not to restore tho Union and sustain tho Constitution, but to show with how much of malignity nnd now little of conciliation both may bo destroyed? England has her Ireland groaning under oppression and mlsgovornmeHt, yet English malignity has nev er found strength enough to suggest tho depriva tion of common political rights to communities who have engaged in unavailing rebellion. Lead ers have been Indicted, tried, and In some in stances punished, but whore aro tho instances of English governmental shafts levelled at whole communities? Hungary unsuccessfully rebelled* Kossuth lied, nnd n very few of tho leaders were punished and conciliation and tho continuing of now political privileges followed. Russiagrouml Poland to the dust, but the sparks Hashing under tho iron heel of tho oppressor, generated revolu tion after revolution, till conciliation became tho ruling policy of the Russian empire. Does tho gentleman believe that six millions of people, dc accmlanis of those men who stood shonlder to shoulder with our fathers through the war of tho Revolution—bpuo of our bone and flesh of our flesh—can be made political outcasts with safety, or that cither Christianity, humanity, honor or statesmanship docs not spurn tho idea ns shock ing to tho moral sense of mankind? Aro the American people prepared to drown every sense of honor, of principle, of humanity or statesman ship, to engraft upon six millions of their own race tho desperation of Ireland, the discontent ol Hungary, and the despair of Poland? Have tho teachings of Christianity given place to tho low, grovelling sentiments ol partisan malignity ? and to accomplish this must the plainest provisions of the Constitution and tho most palpable prin ciples ol free government bo trampled upon and disregarded? DOOLITTLE OX THE l O-V.St*!JtAXOEIS, Senator Doolittle, who is a Republi can in politics, but not adisunionist, oc casionally shows up the plansand doings of the conspirators in their true colors. Exerting every energy of his nature, and conscientiously striving to prevent the fury of the whirlwind which his party lias evoked, wo cannot but ad mire him as wo see him doing battle for a whole Union, With a Spartan band of kindred Conservatives he has planted himself at the Thermopylm of bur desti nies and is valiantly fighting for the “little all that remains” of constitution al liberty. Heaven grant tliilt his blows may yet be effective and that tho Persian horde of Congressional bandits, even at the darkest hour ,of our fortunes, may be made to bite the dust of confusion and defeat. Wo earnestly bid him God speed, and would hold up his hands as those of tho leader of Israel wore sup ported, that tho night should not throw its black pall upon the scene, until the day has witnessed tho victory and tri umph of right and constitutional free dom. When Mr. Doolittle stood up in the Senate recently to plead, ns he said, “ for the life of the Republic,” ho thus spoke of tho measures in progress, in •relcrenee to the Southern States: “ No fmch. measures -were over be fore presented iii an American Congress. Whularolhey? Call them by what name you will, they are, In sub stance, a declaration of war against leu Btatou of this Union. They are nothing more; they are uothimr laws. W« knnw,„slivtl»iLl. the rAholll*v»» mis been suppressed, wo know that every armed soldier, from tho Potomac'to tho, Rio Grande, has surrendered ills arms and pledged anew his allegiance to tho Constitution, the Union, and the Hag. Wo know there Is not one armed soldier against tho Republic throughout the whole of our vast domain. Wo know, sir, that in those .ten States civil governments In form have been re-established by the voice of -their people, ami that with all the machinery of their civil governments they are Jn full opera tion. Wo know, sir, that peace has been declar ed by'the authorities of tills Republic pursuant to acts of Congress Conferring that power. In all tho Slates of this Union peace has come. But, sir, what do these bills propose? They propose to supersede and annul them all—to lake from all tho people of those States all voice In the power which is to goverm them. The bayonet, and tho bayonot alone. In the hands of the sol diers', Is to bo tho law to these States. All resis tance Is to be overcome; the States arc to bo ta ken possession of. and all civil institutions are to be subordinated to tho bayonet.” THE NEW ORLEANS RIOTS. The Committee of the ‘'Rump,” that is the majority, have made a report on this subject, which of course is framed to suit the purposes of the radicals. Hon. B. M. Boyer, the honest, able and talented rep resentatives from the Montgomery dis trict of this-Stnte, the minority member, has also made a lengthy report. The fol lowing are the conclusions of his report, which unquestionably place the matter In its proper light: ]. The riot of the 80th of July was a lo cal disturbance, originating in local cir cumstances of great provocation, and in nowise is the result of any hostility or disaffection on the part of the community of New Orleans towards the federal gov ernment. It was notin any just or fair sense of the term a vestige or outbreak of the rebellion, nor can it be said to beany indication, even in the remotest degree, of a disposition on thepartof the people of Louisiana or the City of New Orleans te renew hostilities in any form with the es tablished authorities, State or federal. 2. It would be a monstrous injustice to hold the whole people of the State of Louisiana accountable for the acts of those engaged in arioteonUned toasmall portion of the City of New Orleans; and for that cause to abrogate by act of Con gress the civil government of that State, now in peaceful and successful operation, would be a usurpation of power not war ranted by the Constitution and a gross outrage upon the principles of free gov ernment. 3. The riot was provoked by the incen diary speeches and revolutionary acta and threatened violence of theconventlonits, such as, under the circumstances, would have led to a riot in any city in the Union. 4. To provoke an attack on the colored population, which was expected to bo sup pressed by the military before it had se riously endangered the white leaders, ap pears to have been part of the ‘scheme of theconventioniata. This would afford an excuse for Congressional investigation, re sulting in Congressional legislation form ing the ultimate design of the convention-, its, namely: the destruction of the exist ing civil government of Louisiana. 5. As respects tbatpart of the resolution of the House which makes it a subject of investigation bythecoinmittee, “whether and to what extent those acts were par ticipated in by members of the organiza tion claiming to bo the government of Louisiana,” the following conclusion is submitted: In no proper sense of the term and in no degree whatever is the riot of July 30 attributable to the government of Louisiana, in whoso official acts- the re mote causes of the riots are to be traced, the chief among them are Judge R.K. Howell, whoas the usurping President of the minority of an extinct Convention, headed the conspiracy to overthrow tiie State Constitution, which, as a Judge of the Supreme Court, he had sworn to sup port; and Governed. Madison Wells, who lent to the conspiracy his sanction, hut on the day of daugerdeserted his post without nu effort to preserve the public peace. And if there be any members of the federal government who are indirect ly responsible for the bloody result, there are those members of the present Con gress, whoever they may be, who encour aged tfrose men by their counsels, and promised them their individual and offi cial support.' ' . .JdigrAs will bo seep by the.published call, the Democratic County Convention will be held on Monday, March 11. A “ HIGHER I.AW.” Tho Radicals affect great reverence for the Declaration of Independence.; They look upon it as a higher law than the Fed*, erni Constitution.. They argue from it: they take texts from it for speeches and sermons; their" pot' quotations aro all drawn from it—especially from tho open ing sentences; and tho cardinal principles of their party, in the matter of the “rights of man,’’ are based directly upon It. Wo cannot go amiss, therefore, -in quoting from some of tho charges made by the colonists against their king—George 111. —as follows : •* He Ims created a multitude of new offices and senthlthor swarms of officers to harrass our peo ple and cat out tholr substance, “Ho has kept among ns, hi times of -peaco, standing armies, without tho consent of our.l.cg -IS‘HlcTii\s affected to render the military inde pendent of, nnd superior to, the civil power. “For quartering largo bodies of armed troops among ns: “ .... “ For Imposing taxes upon us without our con sent: .... “ For depriving ns, In many cases, of tho bouo tils of trial by Jury; , ~ , , “For taking away our charters ; abolishing our moat valuable laws, and altering, fundamentally, tho forms of onr governments: ... “ For suspending our Legislatures nnd declar ing themselves Invested with power to,legislate for ns hi all cases whatsoever.’’ For these crimes of royalty against the-' “ rights of man” the colonists declared they were " absolved from all allegiance. to tho British crown,” and that “tho colo nies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States.” To this Decla ration of grievances and to the justness of the cause of tho colonists in dissevering their connection with the “ mother coun try” tho Batlicals fully and freely sub scribe. Lot us see, now, how Batlieal practice agrees with Badlcal professions. Tho military district bill just passed by tho Eadical majority of the Bump Con gress divides the Southern States into 11 ve military districts, and each district is to bo under the command of an officer in rank not below a brigadier general, with a sufficient military force to enable him to enforce authority. What is this but the creation of “a multitude of new, offi ces,” and the sending thither of “ swarms of officers to harass the people ?” It is made tho duty of such officers to “punish all disturbers of thepublio peace and criminals;" “to organize military commissions;” (although the supremo Court of tho United States has declared such tribunals illegal, except for the trial of soldiers,) “and all iuterlorence, under color of State authority, with tho exer cise of military authority” in that man ner, under said act, “ shall be null and void.” What is this but an attempt “to lender the military independent.of, and superior to, the civil power,” for which George 111. lost his American colonies ? It provides that the officers of such dis tricts shall have power to carry out all sentences of the said military commis sion, except in sentences of death,, to to which the approval of tho President of tho United States is required.

What right have the minority to talk of rights, since they have been conquered at the ballot-box? The only right they have is the right to keep their necks gut of the halter. — Cincinnati Comntfircial, Here wo have the Abolition-Republi can theory of government in a Jiut-shoil. Upon the principle of this atrocious senti ment was this government administered through five years of the late Lincoln dy nasty. Congress is now Undertaking to play the same role, and unlessthe people wake up, and that soon, they wifi find whutPruncc discovered one morning, that its present ruler by a coup d'etat had seiz ed the control of the government, which he now wields subject only to his own wi11.,, . . We have no idea, however, that the Ja cobins who now control Congress, in that event would administer the government with even equal regard to the ihterfest of their subjects. We have fallen upon evil times. Congress is Usurping the powers of all the departments of the government and is .breaking down, piece-meal, the bulwarks of the people's rights. They do it on the principle enunciated above—that minorities have no rights —in other words, that might makes right. ■“ When the wicked bear rule the peo ple mourn.” Look at the condition of af tairs now—at the corruption of your Na tional and Stale Legislatures, and tc/iodi rectsthemand moulds their action? Have minorities no rights? Whatrne constitu tions and laws made for? Ponder these things. ,- Murder in a Court Room.— George Ellar, charged with having committed a rape, in April last, upon Louisa Leis, aged 11 years, daughter of Thomas Leis, a tail or, residing at No. 850 Orchard street, Philadelphia, was shot with a pistol and Instantly killed by Leis in the Court room of the Philadelphia Quarter sessions, on the 20th as he was entering the dock in the custody of a Policeman to await his trial. Lela made no attempt to escape,.and was immediately seized and ordered to bo taken to prison. The wife and child of Leis, and the wife of Ellar, were in the Court room when the murder occurred, and, as may be supposed, a scene of great excitement ensued, which inter rupted the order and business o| thp Court for some time. Ellar, the murdered served three years in the army, in ,Col. Elliiiakor's regiment. Ho was arrested at the time oL the alleged commission of the Crime : for which he was to be tried, atidbailon tered lor him by George Rankin/ A:day !or two afterwards hr absconded, and,was re-arrested atHarvlsburg about four weeks ago.

Thp Vfytshiugton correspondent of tiro Cincinnati Commercial (a Radical sheet,) allows how the tariff tyll now pending in the Bump House was gotten up. He says: ; ~ ■ “The ingenious fentureof tho bill is tho manner in which special interests have been protected by it. This can best bo explained by actual illustration, lu the whole United States there is just one nickel factory, employing a capital of say two hundred thousand dollars and a force of about fifty workmen. It is located in New Jersey. Tho proprietors of this es tablishment go to their New Jersey Sen ators and say to them that they must get •protection.’ Tho Pennsylvania Senators sivv: ‘We can’t vote to" protect such an interest as that; all’wo want is an iron and coal tariff.’ 1 Very well,’ says Now Jersey, ‘if you don’t protect my nickel factory I’ll vole against your coal mines and iron factories? And so, in order to get the Jersey votes; a tariff of forty per cent, is laid on nickel. Now it happens that nickel is a material very extensive ly used in tills country, forming a large Ingredient in the manufacture of German silver ware. It would tako a hundred such' factories ns that in New Jersey to supply tlio demand, but in order ,to pro tect that one factory tho price of every thing into which nickel enters 1s increas ed forty per cent: to every consumer in tho United States. And this, forsooth, is protecting American industry. ” Take another illustration. Tholr is one place in the United States where tho stone used for grindstones is found nnd dressed. It is near Cleveland, Ohio. It would require fifty such quarries to sup ply tho demand of the country. But this 4 American industry’ must be protected, nnd in order to enable a single establish ment to reap large prollts, a tariff of ten dollars n lotijis put upon grindstones that come from "Nova Scotia. ‘lf you don’t put thorn in,’ says the grindstone mem ber, ‘ I’ll vote against the bill.’ ‘Ail right,’ says New England, ‘if you’ll swallow tho rest of the bill wo can afford that.’ And so it goes.” This is tho*bill for which the Radicals of the Pennsylvania Legislature instruct ed our State members of Congress to vote. The Democrats in the Legislature refused to vote to instruct upon such a bill, for the reasons above given, and because it taxes the poor heavily upon all they eat, use and wear, and reduces the luxdWes. used only by tho wealthy. It is well known that the tariffin question is only intended for the few at the expense of the many. Those who . are in the Radical Rump ring, or have money enough to pay for protection, will get protection, and not otherwise. By this bill the mass es of tho people will bo robbed of millions of dollars annually, without being.able to make good their losses by , any means within then* power. [For tho Volunteer.] A CHAPTER ON POOS. Now that the “Dogebf War” have been called off and chained, it is about time to eonslder what shall bo done with these other, smaller, yet to the degree of their power, no leas v bloody dogs which Ho at our doors or roam through our streets and fields; worthless and useless. Worthless! and useless! If that were all they might be tolerated as pots and for children. But when wo come to count the cost of keeping them, and then add to that the enormous destruction of property they are causing every year, the wonder is that farmers do not, with one voice, de mand the extinction of the, whole canine race. What does it cost to keep the dogs? It would be safe to say that there is one dog for every family—that is—one for every five inhabitants of the Northern States. But to precludeall probibllity of overstate ment, iet’us assume there are just half that many, and that it costs but twenty five cents per week each to feed them. A population of twenty millions at the rate of one dog for every ten persona, would give us two milliofi dogs ; and at tw.enty ttvo cents per week, or twelve and one half dollars per year, the annual cost of -keeping them would amount to the en ormous sum of twenty-five million dollars / What per cent, does dog stock pay ? Now look at this picture. -The statis tics of Ohio for five successive years show 203,824 sheep killed and 127,418 injured by dogs; or an annual average of 40,965 kill ed and 25,483 injured. Estimating the killed at the low sum of three dollars, and the.injured at half that sum; we find the annual loss to that State to be about $lOO,- 000. Taking the average loss, caused ,by worthless curs, of more than one million dollars ! What a theme for the advocates of protection . We say nothing of those dreadful cases of hydrophobia which are ofsofrequentec curronce in every section of the land; nothing of the thousands of Farmers who can not keep sheep because their neigh bors do keep dogs, and the consequent loss of profit in one of the most profitable sources of agricultural wealth; but pass on to consider, the remedy for this great and growing evil That remedy will be found .only m a just ami decided enact ment of our Legislature, containing pro visions for certain and speedy application. The following suggestions for such a law are submitted. . *l. An annual list of all the dogs owned or kept to be made by the assessorand re turned to the borough or township clerk, who slmll.number and register thesame. 2. Every owner or keeper to pay said clerk an annual tax of one dollar for every male and five dollars for every female dog and attach a collar marked with the ini tials of the owners name and the register ed number. 3. The dfcty imposed upon constables, and right granted to any person to kill all dogs not thus marked and registered. 4. All taxes thus collected to be paid in to the county Treasury, the accounts having first been approved by the audi tors. 5. Said clerk to appoint two disinteres ted persons, who with himself, shall ap praise all losses by dogs, certify the same to the county Commissioner, who shall issue an order upon the Treasurer for the amount, in favor of the person whose pro perty was destroyed. 6. Treasurer to recover from the owner or keeper, for the use of the county, the full amount of damages done by any dog. 7. Such penalties annexed to every sec tion of the law ns will ensure its enforce ment in every particular. . Yours, truly, X.

Hurmlt was brought before the Criminal Court of the Dis trict and arraigned for complicity In the mur der of Abraham Lincoln. Ho pleaded not gull tv • and in response to the question of tbo Clerk: ••Ilmv will you be tried?” replied." by aJuryof. my cohhtrymcri ” Ho was then conveyed back to prison. No day hasyetbconflxodfortUo trial. Stanton and Holt are about to Introduce anew actor on the stage, by the-name of Henri St. Ma rio. Ho Is the witness who, ll'seoins, is to con nect Surratt with the murder of President Lin coln. Ho is said to have enlisted In the PapaL Zouaves and there found Surratt In disguise.— It Is a most remarkable coincidence that this same Saint Marie was an intimate friend and. school-follow of Surratt and Welchman, and his name figured extensively In trial of Mrs. Sur ratt. There is a marked difference between the treatment of John Surratt and the treatment of his mother in 1865. Ho'bos the protection of the law, and Is to bp tried by a Jury of his peers. She was confined' in a damp and gloomy coll, was de nied tbo privilege of interviews with her friends, was tried by nr Military Commission, and mur dered by a brig'adlor-gonoral. There exists a wide-spread regret that Mrs. Surratt was. hung.— The hanging lias been the cause of much anxiety and restlessness on tbo part of tbo Commission since; and how near she came to receiving a sen tence similar, to Dr. Mudd's is not generally known. In .this Court, Surratt’s lawyers will have the advantages of being In a Courtof Justice, and Surratt before a Jury of his countrymen, will have a chance for his life, which was not the case with his mother. The debates in Congress during the week have been, more than usually interesting, and the gal- leries, day and night, have been crowded with spectators,- A Reconstruction Bill—God save the mark I—bos been passed by Congress, This bill was “ conceived In sin and brought, forth In ini-' quity.” It Is the crown Jewel in the coronet of Sa tan, and Just such a monstrosity of “.execrable shape” as this Congress is eminently capable of producing, A reconstruction bill,indeed! Noth ing could bo more cunningly devised to keep up perpetual strife and Msunlon.' It is the very fath er of lies In the form of a legislative not, and-lts purpose is not reunion but disunion. Yon may rely upon It, with the certainty of the rising sun, that the President will stamp It with his official disapprobation, and -that, too, In an overwhel ming* veto. It will not escape exposure before the American people by the “ pocket veto.” The President will take the “bull by tha horns” with acoumge his friends will admire. Howpnts no. such.power lodged in his hands, and if ho can ho will prevent its being lodged In the hands of any one man or set of men. These so-called re construction bills have awakened the whole country to the purposes of the Radical leaders; and there never was a grander occasion for a ve to message which shall carry terror.intotho Rad ical camp. . , The Radicals are endeavoring to create t he im pression that the President and his friends arc ready to change their position as defenders of the Constitution, the laws, and a legally-consti tuted government, for that of seditious opposition to the legitimate authority of the Federal Union. But Democrats and Conservatives have no idea. of anything bf tho kind. Bach infidelity is no part of their creed or their purpose. Tholr.duty is tho defense of the government under tho Con- stltutlon—tho maintenance of all its powers, the protection of all Us faithful agents, to insure a just administration of all public nflhirs. The President asks no defense beyond w)iat tho pri mary and statutory laws of tho nation afford him, justly observed. Ho is ready to meet his assailants in any legal form they may present themselves. We nr© assured ho “Is in nowise alarmed at the menacing demonstrations made against him in Congress. If impeachment Is de termined upon in a constitutional way, 6f the fullest investigation of every charge, personal and political, upon which it may bo founded.”— This is a position worthy tho Chief Magistrate of a Great Republic, and it will be sustained, fear lessly, unto tho end, and all disturbance of tho public peace by those who defy at tempt to “cruah'lho forms of government" will bo suppressed by tho exorcise of that authority confided to him to secure tho observance of a Con stitution be is sworn to sustain. ' Tho Secretary of War has made a decision with reference to soldiers' bounties, by which every bounty claimant shall be regarded as having served to the end of tho war who enlisted for three years and was mustered out with tho or ganization In which ho enlisted because Us ser vices wore no. longer required. This decision Is understood to bo made as a correction of a pre vious decision of tho War Department, and It do-, dares this class of soldiers to bo entitled to tho extra bounty. ' There la but little hope that the coming session of Congress will be any more profitable to the country financially or politically'than the last two sessions. The Radical leaders are determin ed to give the country ho repose; and they will originate now schemes of agitation and alarm.— They are determined the Union shall not be re stored. So soon ns that shall be done Radicalism Is doomed.
