Shnul, ti-m, THE SITPBUMK < 01111 It Is true in political as well us social life that one serious misstep makes an- ( oilier necessary. Jle who onco takes the downward path, goes on from had to worse, until great crimes become the rule instead of the exception. This seems to 1)0 the tlx in which Congress linds itself. Stop by step the Radical lehcls advance in their work of destruc tion. Link by link they are forging the chains which are to bind us in a re morseless military despotism. The de mon of destruction drives tiiem onward from bad to worse, ami they dare not look back to see the ruin and havoc they have left in their track. Their last move is a deadly assault upon the co-ordinate branches ul the government. These stand in their way to absolute power, and must be put down. The President is to he deposed from his constitutional otlive as Cominander-in-Chiof of the Army, the sage, silent, segur-smoking (Irani is to he made dictator over the Sjuth, and the rightful authority of the Supreme Court is to be annulled and overthrown. Meanwhile “the little creatures” whom Greeley tells us “God in his mysterious Providence permits to edit our minor Republican journals,” seem to feel it incumbent upon them to defend tin 1 legislation of Congress as a whole and in all. Us pans. They do not know what they will he called upon to swear to next, and fur convenience sake adopt as their ccmfe-Mon : “We are for ' the Congressional plan ot rivon-lriK-Uon a- it was, is now, and shall be, world without end.” To UUs eh\s* our neigh bor the Jltratd belongs.

Already luw a lull passed the lower House requiring u tuo-l/unh majority uf the ('ourt to agree before they can declare mi act ol Con gress unconstitutional. Here is a bold and shameless udmis sion that certain cases arc now before the Supreme Court, involving the con stitutionality of the reconstruction nets, that a majority of the Court arc believ ed or known to he of opinion that those aetsare unconstitutional, and that, /mul ing Iheir consideration, “Congress is about providing for the emrryeney,” by passing a bill " requiring a tiro third* majority of the Court to agree in-fore they can declare an net of Congress on constitutional." Such a proposition ns this transcends the infamy of the Wil liamsport resolutioa, which deelanal that “the Supreme Court should bo placed in harmony with the political opinions of the majority.” That was simply a proposition to elect a judge who would square Ills decisions by lie platform of the party winch elected him, and not by the principles of law and equity; but this legislation of Congress invades the sacred precincts of the Court; it would tear down the last citadel to which tile citizen can line for the protec tion of ilia rights; it destroys the nicely balanced system of onrgoven and says to the Judiciary, if yon decide in favor of Congress, your decision shall he respected, though rendered by a mere majority of the Court ; il yon decide against Congress, and in favor of the citizen seeking redress fur grievances, your decision shall be null and void, un less six of the eight Judges concur in it. It is u frightful commentary upon the rapidity witli which wo are sailing past the old landmarks of constitutional lib erty that sueli a revolutionary project as tills is not mot with a universal burst uf indignation throughout the eu tire country. .Strike down the Court, and the rights and liberties of the peo ple are left at the mercy of a mere ma jority of a partisan caucus, whose mem bers all told represent hut a minority of the people. This legislation of Congress, and the Herald’s. defense of it, contains another admission which it would be well for the people to lay lo heart. The Radical majority of Congress know that their legislation has been “outside the Constitution,” as Thud Stevens frankly admits, cl.se why should they seek to prevent the Supreme Court from decid ing the issues now before ItV if their legislation lias been constitutional, it will stand the test of judicial investiga tion. If it will not stand Unit tost, it i muni and ought to fall, the Fortieth Congress and the constitutional expoun der of ;thc Herald to the contrary not- withstanding. As a lame excuse for this extraordi nary and revolutionary proceeding, the Herald pleads “that a majority of the Supreme Court, as now constituted, is made up of Johnsonites and embittered Democrats.” Whether a majority of the Court are “ John.-onites,” we are not able to say, none of them being poli- tieians enough to declare their political sentiment?-, except Chief Justice Chase, who every now and then goes off on a Radical '•lumping tour, and is not spe- cially troubled with “Johnsoni.Mii That a majority are “embittered Demo crats” we may he permitted to doubt, as live out of the eight judge* were ap- pointed by the immaculate Lincoln, who was no great admirer of “embit tered Democrat.-.'' Hut admit, for the sake of the argument, that the Jlerald has accidentally stumbled upon the truth fur once; will it agree to the prim e ipie that if the next Congress is Demo cratic, and through death and appoint ment a majority of the Supreme Couit are then “embittered the )emoeratie Congress shall enaet that the decision of the majority of the Court Chairman 1 leiv i.i another and a lamer excuse: •• When questions of a i>iu'clupolUivi)( ohiiracUT, >«ueh us umilil he the .•uu-tltut(i>nali!y ol Oil* rc eiui-lriielicm «;Oim* befi>ro I lie* Supreme r<tinl. ue feur that ll //iipM ho Impossible lu ob tain an impartial opinion." ]> the Ihrald quite certain that it knows what it is talking about? Ques tions of a “political character” do not come before the Supremo Court, th be decided as such. The Court has no pow er to declare upon the constitutionality or unconstitutionality of an act of Con- gress, in itself considered. It decides individual raw*, involving the rights of parties. An issue arises between indi- viduals and is carried before the Court. The Court knows only these parties, and the law as applied to the facts relates only to the individual lt is true this decision is acceptedau bearing upon all .similar cases, and becomes the law of the land by common consent, but not of necessity. Let us see whether these “test cases” are “questions of a purely political character.” One of them is based on the following facts: In the administration of affairs in Mississippi, under the Reconstruction acts, (Tenoral Ord arrested a certain McCardle, editor of Hie Vicksburg H7<o/, and caused him to be brought before a military com mission and conmiitled to custody. He I now demands hi.-> liberty, cm appeal to I the Supreme Court. * Here is an issue 1 involving the dearest right for which any citizen can claim protection—a que.-lion involving the pernonal freedom of a single hnmbleiiulividual, it R true, but in that very ehiiin involving the personal freedom of every other ifidi vidu.d citizen in tin* i mint ry--and yet we are told by the Solmi or the lln-itld th.a tlii- is a poflflri'f questionand 1 that while a majority «l the; Court 1 may he able l» render u valid decision \ in favor of Uenend Ord and the infa * mans legislation of Congress, we ought ' to require a two thirds vote to vindicate • tlie imperiled liberty of the private citizen. Otherwise he “fears that it might ho impossible to obtain an im partial decision.” In the name of jus tice, if it lx* impossible to rely upon the solemn decision of a majority of eight men, selected for their probity, their decision of character and their learning in the law, from amongst the greet law yers of tin* count!y, in a question in volving the personal liberty of a single individual, then let us do away with Courts altogether. Rut the queerest point of the I/iraid's argument is that while it is unwilling to rely upon (he decision of the imtjoi'lli, of the Court, it is perfectly willing to abide by the ac tion of the niiiuirilij. Take tin.- verv case of .McCardle; lie is arrested and tin-own into prison without warrant of law. He applies for velea-e on a lutbvus cor;,it*. J-’ivf of the judges say he ought to be released— three say he ought not. This is right, says the J/endd , thrve. are greater than .//re; let him rot in prison ; “it is impossible to obtain an impartial decision” from a mere majority. In humble deference to the legal wisdom of the Jln-ald, we submit that according to the plain principles of arithmetic live are greater than three, and the decision of the Court, arrived at by summing up the views of the majority, is its decision, despite the Fortieth Congress, the legal lucubrations of the i/<ra/</aml the howl ing oflhe whole Radical pack. “ As to the right of Congress to pass a law of this description,” complacently says the Jlerahl , “ wo cannot understand how it can be questioned.” All! in deed ; a lamentable cose of legal obtuse ness, in one who sets himself up as an expounder of constitutional law. It is not our duty to furnish our neighbor with understanding, but if ho will take the trouble to refer lo some of the lead ing ediloria's in such good Republican papers as the New York Kt'atuuj Post, the Springfield PepubHcan, the New York Commercial Ad{'rrtinn\ the Cin cinnati Conu/irrrki /, the New York Times and the Chicago AVymMVtm, he may get some information on the subject upon which ho seems tube so terribly muddled ; and may discover that there an* some very good Radicals, whose le gal reputation will compare quite fa vorably with that of the editor of the llfraUl, who do “question the right of Congress” lo overthrow a co-ordinate branch of the government. It may not he out til place also to refer our neigh bor to the fact that the Constitution—an old-fashioned instrument, butonewhieh contains some very good law—provides that “ the judicial power of the Cniled Sta (<*.■«, shall be ir.drtl in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as Congress may from lime to time ordain and establish ;” and that Kent in his commentaries lays it down as an estab lished principle of our government that : “ t\w judicial power of the United States ! in point of origin and title, equal with the other powers of the govern ment, and is as exclusively r,'.d,d in the ! Courts created by or in pursuance of the j Constitution, as the legislative power is | vested in Congress, or the executive I power In the President.” As to wheth- I er the term “ Judicial ponrr ” does not embrace the rendering of decisions in such manner as tliq Court shall deter mine; and whether a “ vested” right or ' power is not one which is Ji./u'il bevond all contingency or interference, wc leave i tho Herald to answer to its own heller I judgment. Feeling the weakness of its previous positions, the Herald falls back to the final resort of all the Constitutional tink ers, that the Constitution confers upon Congress authority “to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper/oe carn/u.t 7 into execution the foregoing power".*’ Kveu if thi> clause did apply m Die ea>e in hand, which no average lawyer would pretend, wo fall to see that it gives Congress any right to ob struct y retard, curtail or annul any of I “ the foregoing powers," among which is this wry “judicial power” to which ’ we have refened. ( >ur neighbor also ! i maintains lli.it the same power which determines the number of judge's who shall constitute the Court, is competent to regulate the number necessary tocou | cur in an opinion. We trust however ( that ho is enough of a lawyer to know that there is a va.-t dillerunco between prescribing tile organization aud juris diction of a Court, and interfering with j the mode of its decisions after jurisdic i tiou has attached. lie is probably ( aware, or ought to lie, that tho former j is a It'ffislalive function, the latter purely I a judicial one. Shook 1 u be necessary, ' to clear his mind on tins point, we may ! give him some of the authorities, on ; some future occasion. 'his last assault upon the liberties of outraged jieoplo will prove to the country a blessing in disguise. The masses are at last awakening to Die fact that those usurpations of absolute pow er are not begotten by any patriotic zeal ! for the welfare of the country, but by an insane desire to save a dying, rotten fac tion from complete annihilation. When the Reconstruction measures fall, the Radical faction fulls with Diem, and lienee its terrible sti uggle to hold on to its ill-gotten power. Let Diem go on with their treason and their treachery, with their insolent contempt for Do- au thority of the CousDnilio i, for a lew brief months more. Damon, Marat and Robespierre had iheir day, ami that day was followed by a terrible retribution. It is true that this is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people; but our common Constitution is the legitimate, condensed, crystalized expression of their will. They have «o«*n that will’trilled with, and con b mptuously trampled under font, lor weary months. They have Ibrborn un til forbearance has ceased to be a virtue; and while the Radical icbels arc giving themselves up-, day by day, to the li cense of unrestrained mischief, public opinion is marshaling Us hosts; and ere twelve months have run their course, tho traitors at the Capitol will be called to fearful account. It would bo falsify • ing the-history of the world to say that, } when the contest comes, liberty and law > will not be triumphant, whosesoever ‘ nocks may he stretched, whosesoever 1 blood limy be shed.

No doubt wlmt the President says is true. When the Tenure of Office Bill was passed, it was virtually giving a license to rascally of fice holders. If an official steals, or is guilty of any other misdemeanor, the President is not permitted to remove him, or if lie docs, an infamous Senate refuses to confirm the appointment of an honest man, and so the rogue con tinues to hold ids position, as Stanton said, for certainly, those facts are not very encouraging for the future of the country under Radical rule, and strong ly challenge every Republican, who lias a spark of honesty in his breast, to break away from the “ foul party.” tei'-Tlio appropriations of money to pay the unity, navy and Freedman's Biiroau oiliecrs, are considerably in ex cess of all the expenses of Government under Jlr.

THK VOTE OF THANKS TO SPY STANTON, In our last wo published a condensed report of the remarks of our member of Assembly, Mr. Cornman, on the resolu tion tendering thanks to the Hump Senate for reinstating spy Stanton in the .War Department. Since then we have received a full report of Mr. Corn man’s remarks, which wo give below, and in doing so lake occasion to say that they speak the sentiments of llu> De mocracy of Cumberland county, aml’in their name we thank our member for their utterance. Mr. Cornman said: Mr. Speaker, it was not my intention to say anything upon this resolution ; but, sir, I wish to place upon record u lew feeble and disconnected remarks. The reinstatement of Edwin M. Stan ton will meet its merited rebuke at the bands of an outraged people. The day of retribution will come, just as sure as that Edwin M. Stanton will have to stand before tUo Ureal Trlbvuml lo iuikwh- for Ins deeds (luring the past six years. Mr. 1 Speaker, I was one ol those who did not support Andrew Johnson for the posi tion he now holds; but, sir, as 1 have al ways been taught by the principles of that great parly which I have the honor to represent here, to live and act inside the Constitution, i am not willing Unit the powers granted to the .President by that instrument shall be trampled under foot. The lime lor that has passed away with the clouds of wild fanaticism which hung over our beloved country during the bloody and fratricidal war through which we have passed ; ami, sir, the thunders of the people, Jrom the East to the West, have proven to us all that there remains sufllcient spirit and animation in the ; hearts of the American people to wipe out the tyranny and usurpation of the United States Senate. And, sir, 1 us one of the representatives of the people of this great Commonwealth, am not willing that the representatives of a mi nority of the people shall give to the world as an expression of the majority of the citizens of tins Slate any resolution which we, the representatives of a deei ded majority, denounce and brand as in famous. The voice of the people cannot bo mis taken. They have spoken in tones not to Lo misunderstood, causing the oppo nents to constitutional liberty to quake ; and. now, sir, whilst the blood of thou sands, who as martyrs yielded up their lives In the restoration of this Union, which he, whom our friends on our rig lit would eulogize, has endeavored to de stroy, we are astonished to know, that a resolution is- ollored in this House en dorsing the man who for years has en deavored to thwart the true principles of the Constitution. And, sir, when the cry from the other side comes to us of traitor, we would refer them to the rec ord of US. M. Btuntiou, who endeavored to create a dissolution of the Union, and after partially succeeding, striving'con tinuully to pervert the laws of constitu tional liberty from then-legitimate course. The word traitor is written upon his brow with the blood of thousands slain at his command, in characters not to be mis interpreted, and tlio skeleton linger of thousands sacriliced upon the altar of wild fanaticism points to him as the man who caused the orphan to mourn a father lost and the widow to bewail her forlorn con dition. Wo will admit that Kdwin M. Stanton lias done much to crush the Democratic rebellion, as stated by the gentleman on my right in his remmks; but, 1 wish to be distinctly understood, , that all Democratic rebellions have been for the maintenance of the Constitution and defense of American liberty. We have ever rebelled against usurpation and tyranny, and to-day you find us rebel ling against the usurpation of an outlaw ed Senate. I trust. Mr. Speaker, that the members of tins House will respect the feelings of tile great mass of the peo ple whom we represent, by not allowing this resolution to go on record as the ex pression of the citizens of Pennsylvania. 15ul, sir, ifil goes there, we wantit to go there as it must, as the expression of a decided minority. The Democratic par ty» since the formation of tills govern ment, has always proven itself the friend and supporter of right, always recogniz ing in the President the power to remove any ot his subordinates ; ami wo are wil ling to-day, sir, to grant to him whom our Iriends on the other side of the House elected to the position he now Jills that same privilege. Wo arc not willing that he shall be treated as though he were a nullity. In recording my vote, sir, I sin'll ilo it in opposition to the original resolution, and trust my Itapublicaii friends may see the error of their way and turn before it is too late. A few days ago the .Republican parly not only recog nized the chief Executive us the Presi dent, but also ns the Government, grant ing him power to do ail tilings consis ten or inconsistent with the Constitution, and the hastiles of this country bear rec ord of tlie power delegated by him to the man Shin ton. , The grey hairs and tottering limbs of age have sual; to the gi'i'e under his tyrannical grasp: wo* men ami children have bowed their heads to the guillotine under Stanton’s control - and, sir, a disrupted Union ac knowledges him as the man who desired its destination. Rut, sir, I wil] not waste Ihu tune of the Commonwealth in anv inrtlier remarks, giving as my humble opinion that we had bettor perform the duties here for which we have been sent than introduce resolutions which must do more harm than good. Bettor wore it foriis and our constituents, if we would devote our time to legislating for the In terests of our tax-ridden and overbur dened country, than to bo eulogizing him who has caused much of our sufler ings. With these few remarks I will take my seat, trusting to the wisdom of older heads in the final issue to this ques tion. THE RKHKEIt JII RDKIt. We mentioned in our paper two weeks since, thedlsappearance of Captain Reb rer, of Schuylkill county, (son of Thos. J. Rohrer, Esq. of Harrisburg.) That he bad been murdered was generally be lieved, but until recently no efforts to discover the murderers were successful. It is believed 'now, however, that they have been discovered. On Thursday J. Thus. Smith, John AlbriglUnn. ji., and David Uomison were arrested at Pnttsville by Tinted Stales detectives, and committed to prison by Alderman Kiaileyon a charge of being concerned in the murder. Many exciting rumors are afloat, but the Potlsviile Standard of Saturday gives tbo following as the story moM generally credited : “Some lime before the disappearance of Capt. Relirer, J. Thomas Smith wiole , to two men, at Rochester, N. to come on lie re, that he had a big job on band for them. Tliov came without answer ing his letter, and. be became impatient ami wrote another letter, which arrived at Rochester while tho men were here, and was advertised and’sont to the dead Idler olliee, whom it fell into the hands of the Postmaster Genera!, who employ- ; ed United Stales detectives in the, ease. — ■ A lew days ago the detectives arrested i the two inen and lodged them in the jail j at Jiuflalo, New Vol k. One of the tie- i teetives came here and procured a reqtil- j silion from Governor Geary to bring the men on, and he has now gone for them. It is stated that some detectives arrested Samuel Alhrighton, Jr., and frightened him, by threats of instant death, into a confession that Rehrer was murdered by the two men, instigated by Smith ; that ho was shot and strangled, and thrown into the air-hole of a mine, which was full of water, with an iron wheel attach ed to his body ; that the plan was con cocted, and the clothes of the dead man washed, at the bouse of David Lomlsou, who, with John Alhrighton, Jr., was privy to the plot. It is also stated that the air-hole is now being pumped out, ami that Lomison’s housekeeper, who washed the clothing in his hotel at Don aldson, was sent to Altoona, Pa. She has been sent for. There is great excite ment in regard to the matter, ami we do not give the above statement as the truth, but merely as the report most generally circulated. It would perhaps bo well for the public to suspend judgment upon the matter until tho true faets are made known. A writ of habeas corpus has boon anon out hyJottatLnn Wriffltt, one of the counsel for the accused, to show cause why they should not be re leased on bail. “ Since the above was in typo, we learn from a reliable source the following par ticulars; A United States detective dis- guised as a drunken man, has been in Ta maqua and vicinity for about four weeks. Last Wednesday night, between 11 and 12 o’clock, ho took some fifteen men, all in black gowns and masks, went to the house of Samuel Albrighton, obtained admittance, and told Samuel, who Hud boon in bed, that they wanted him. He was much frightened, and said he was innocent. On being asked of what crime, lie said * of the murder of Capt. Kehrer.’ They then said they were members of a secret society to which Capt. Kehrer had belonged, and they had come to avenge hia death; but afterwards said if he would confess they would spare him.— He then said Capt. Kehrer was waylaid and shot by two men brought from Koch estor or l-uHido, N. V., instigated by Smith, Lomison and others ; that lie and his father knew nothing of it for three days after; one bullet struck him in the thigh or groin; he was then struck on the head witli an iron bar, and his body thrown down Hcilner’s old shaft, be tween Termont ami Donaldson, (which lias been abandoned for some years, and contains about two hundred feet of •wa ter,) with a large iron cog wheel attached toil. On being asked about John Al brighton, his brother, lie said he knew nothing of John’s business. The arrests were made, and LomLon and John Al brighton lodged in jail. The masonic lodge of Tamaqua, of which Capt. Keh i rer was a member, will put up an engine i to-day to pump out the water from Hcil ner’s old shaft, being determined to find the body at whatevercost. The two men at Buffalo have been sent for. The friends of the accused assert their inno cence, and claim that Samuel Albrighton was frightened into making statements which had no foundation, in the hope of saving hia own life. Further develop ments are expected soon.” [•krsox.u. —Phil. .Sheridan is a Fenian. —James Huchanan Is in his seven ty-fourth year. —John Jacob Astor, Jr., the New York millionaire, died last week. —Henry Ward Beecher made $37,01)0 out of his farm last year.

Correspondence /Imm'enu I'olunlcer. WASHINGTON. D. C., Jan. 2.-,. ISIiS. The Good Book tells us that when ono evil spirit was expelled from a certain man's house, seven came to Till Us place, more fierce and terrible than the first.— This seems to be the case with the course of the Radical party towards the South. If one plan fails to degrade and debase the whites to a sufficiently low depth, and to put the full measure of power in the hands of ignorant negroes, another issub stituted more fierce and terrible than its predecessor. Five devils, in the shape of unjust and despotic laws, have been east out by the people; but other devils, more wicked ami fierce, have come to take Ihei place. Grant is to be made dictator over ihe unreconstructed .Stales, and to usurp the office of commander in chief of the nrmv ; and to aid him in securing his el oclion as President, a new hill has been introduced, authorizing the Southem con ventions, now in se.-skm, to depose all the civil officers, Slate, County and city, and to appoint others in their Mead. When wo remember that tho.-e conventions are . (imposed in gieat part of ignorant and Urulal negroes, and mean whites of the jI mi nk-iilt and Browniow stripe ; and when we remember that the election at which they were chosen was the merest faiee, the monstrous character of this proposition may be fairly understood and estimated. The whole drill of the move ment is to place more power in the hands of nu n who can bo used by the Radical part v in the accomplishment of their^ rev olutionary purposes. They are afraid to U iM the people of the South at the ballot box, even under the infamous laws now in lorcein that section; and consequently they propose to put all civil power in the hands of the conventions. They think liu-v see in this last move some slight hope of success in the Presidential elec tion, and the new devil is to be unchain ed amt mill to the general confusion and distress. Fearful that their proposition, forcing the two-thirds vote upon the .Supremo Court, may fail of its object, a new bill has been introduced depriving the Court of all jurisdiction whatever in cases aris ing under the Reconstruction acts. When Congrcss.procceds to such an extremity, it must indeed have arrived at a state bor dering on desperation. But its enact ments are ns blind and futile as they are desperate. Suppose Congress passes the bill, what is to prevent the Court setting it aside, just as it would any other uiioou- I stitutional measure? And suppose Con- I gress were to enact such a measure in re gard to Pennsylvania, can any one doubt that itwould be declared unconstitution al? If such a law would he uuconslitu tionul’iu regard to Pennsylvania, would it not be equally so in regard to any other State? Next to the attack upon the Supreme Court, the assault upon the President is the most alarming. Hero are two sec tions from the Just Reconstruction bill, which seems to have stuck fast in the Senate Judiciary Committee: Sec;. 2. lie it further enacted , That for the speedy enforcement of the act entitled “ An act to provide for a more eflieicnt government of the rebel States," passed March 2, 1807, and the several acts sup plementary thereto, the General of the Army of the United States is hereby au thorizrd and required to enjoin by special orders upon all officers in command with in the several military departments with in said States the performance of the acts authorized by said several laws above fre cited, and to remove by his order from command any or all of said commanders, and detail other ollicors of said army, not below the rank of colonel, to perform all the duties and exercise all the powers au thorized by said several acts, to the end that the people of said several Slates may speedily reorganize civil governments, re publican in form, in- said several Slates, and be restored to political power in the Union. Six', o. lie it further enacted, That the General of the Army is authorised to re move any or all civil ollicors now acting under the several provisional govern ments within in said disorganized States, and appoint others to discharge the duties pertaining to their respective oiUcoa, and may do any or all acts whinh by mu id sev eral laws above mentioned are authorized to be done by the several commanders of military departments within said States, and so much of said acts or of any act that authorizes the President to detail military commanders to said military de partments, or to remove any ollicors which may be detailed as herein provid ed, is hereby repealed. If it be possible for any bill to be at va riance with the Constitution, this is. Old fashioned people are apt to believe that under the Constitution the President is “Commander in Chief of the Army;" and it is a self-evident proposition that if the President has a right to command, the officers of the army arc bound to obey. But here a law is proposed releas ing them from the duly of obedience.— The Constitution declares that they shall obey, and Congress is about to declare by law that they shall not. In a case whore the conflict is so clear, we do not see how the President could bo justified in paying the slightest heed to the law. If Gener al Grant, or any other officer, refuses to obey his orders, it will be his duty to put him under arrest and appoint a Court martial to try him for insubordination and mutiny. Fernando Wood, while discussing tins bill, called it a “ monstrosity," mid “ the most infamous measure of this most in famous Congress." The startling truths aroused the ire of the conspirators, and he was called to order, and not allowed to progress with his speech, and finally the gag was applied, but the yeas mid nays were taken on a vote of censure, which “censure" was duly applied by the cen sorious Colfax; but it did not, in the least, disturb the equanimity of the bold Fernando, who never fears to apply the scourge when it is deserved. Fernando’s words may have been unparliamentary, but they were true. A little bit the meanest thing that has occurred in the whole trouble between the President and Congress, was the man ner in which Grant sneaked out of the War ofllce and surrendered the keys to Stanton. He had given the President his solemn word of honor that he would hold on to the office, or resign and allow the President to appoint another Secretary of War ad interim , thus compelling Stanton to take ills case tq Court, wh’ich would decide the constitutionality of the “ Tenure of office Bill,"-which was what the President wanted, and by which de cision ho proposed to be guided. That he made this promise is proved by the united testimony of the entire Cabinet. But ho suffered himself to be led by the Congres sional junto, and handed over the keys to Stanton, without consulting his supe rior otllcer, hoping, no doubt, to be made President by reason of hissnbserviency to a set of traitors in Congress, who expect to use him ns a political tool to destroy constitutional liberty, or to kill him po litically should he not be found subservi ent enough to their diabolical aims. Ves, the groat Ulysses lias surrendered at last. His vaulting ambition has overleaped itself.' His weak knees gave way ou the first application of Radical pressure. .Sol dier as ho pretends to be, and statesman as ho would, be helms failed in militaiy duty to his lawful Commander-In-Chief. As'much as he prates about ** the willof the people" ho has failed in loyalty to the Constitution of his country which is the highest and most solemn expression of the popular will. Such a man is lit for no ollice requiring brains and courage, either civil or military. How beautifully consistent the Radi cals have been in this reinstatement of Stanton I Less than four years ago, twenty-five Radical United States Sena tors joined in a letter to President Lin coin for the removal of Postmaster Gen eral Blair, using, as the main argument, thatatt the members of the Cabinet should 4QBEE WITH THE PRESIDENT “ ill politi cal principle and general policy." Act ing upon the suggestion, President Lin coln signified to Mr. Blair that his resig nation would bo accepted—and it was at once tendered. This was Radicalism in 1864. Howls it in 1868? Mr. Stanton was turned out by President Johnson for not only disagreeing “ in political princi ple and general policy," but for other reasons of the gravest character. Do Radical Senators adhere to their prece dent of 1864? v No; but they give the lie to their previous professions by reinstat ing a Secretary who was removed for the same, and additional, reasons urged by t]iom upon Mr. Lincoln! JOTTINGS FROM TOE C.IPITOJ. Third Week.—'This week lias been marked with very little to excite the public mind, except the discussion in the Senate on the “Stanton resolution.”-- The Davis bolters are .severely punished by Speaker Davis in his appointments, he having failed to make good his prom ises made to them in consideration of their support. Retrenchment and reform seems to bo the order of each day, and whilst stop ping the spiggot, I think the bung hole will bo open. A resolution to print cer tain documents, among which was the message of John W. Geary, Governor of Pennsylvania, whose picture hangs on the Executive mansion, represents him on a big, black horse, in all his military trophy ; was negatived the other day, and now An- fear »l insulting his dignity, it was again Introduced and passed. The resolution to cut oil' ail ollicers and em ployees of the House not recognized by iaw, who have returned this session, passed the House and was sent to the Senate, which body returned it with amendments to pay all, it and was passed as amended, by the House. Mr, Mullen, (Dcm.) of Philadelphia, will; rod a resolution causing the clerk to 'report a list of all the olllccre, employees ami attaches of the House with tho sala ry paid each, which causes tho “Rads” lo tremble, for it. is intimated that they have added quite a number of supernu meraries to the slate that was presented at the organization of the House. Tho irrepressible John Hickman has introduced certain bills which were very annoying to his Republican friends, one of which is a resolution requesting Con gress to establish a line of steam ships to ply between Liberia, Africa and the Uni led States; also one to alter tho Cousti uilion uf the State so as to allow negroes u» vole, Lonnv. 3L oc a I Items NOTICE.—Those persons who Hud the date “ 1 DEC. 18G7” on the labels attach ed to their papers will please remember that their subscriptions arc duo from that date.

Ice.—Several of our citizens have been busy during the past two weeks in put ting up' their crop of ice for next summer. We have scarcely ever seen such clear, thick lee as there is tills year, and when we looked at it as it,w«s being hauled to the Ice houses, it made us shiver. — When the thermometer stands at ninety degrees in the shade, ice in an article that has a decidedly cooling tendency; but when the thermometer is somewhat be low zero, It always presents to us a free zing aspect. There is a time in some folks’ history when a drink of ice water in the morning is very refreshing, because it operates as an antidote to the clluets of that villainous “p/sen,” which they are in the habit of imbibing. Ice is good for many things. If, during tliejsum mer season, the butter on your,X)late is likely to rim away ; its progress can be al most instantly stopped by-the application of this article. If you have been on a “beat” at night and consequently feel feverish, a little of it dissolved in water will allay the excitement of the brain, and sweat Captain Whiskey out through the pores of the skin to his utter aston ishment and yours too. If you are in a passion, a little’of it put to the back of your nock, will soothe your “injured feelings,” and enable you to sleep as calmly as though you were at “peace with all the world and the rest of man kind.” When in a compact condition, and not confined to a limited space, it la very suitable to enable young men and ladieajjy means of skates, to enjoy them selves and makolovc, while the full round moon throws his pale light, over its glas sy surface.

I.MI'OHTANT to Taxi*avj:uB.--Tluj In ternal .Revenue law of the United States provides “ that it shall be the duty of all 2)vrHona to make out and render a list and return, to the Assistant Assessor of the district in which they reside, of the amount of their income;” and also that “in case any person shall neglect or re fuse to make such return, it shall be the duty of the Assistant Assessor, to make such list, according to tho best informa tion he can obtain, and to add a penalty of twenty-ilvo per cent, to the amount of the duty on such list.” It is also provided “ that any one who shall exercise or cany on any trade, bu siness or profession, upon which a special tax is imposed by law, without payment thereof as required, shall for every such offence, besides being liable to the pay ment of the tax, be subject to an impris onment for a term not exceeding two years, ora fine not exceeding live hun dred dollars, or both—and such fine shall be distributed between the United States and the informer.” Advhutising Picoi»LK‘—Says the Bos ton Pouf, people who advertise arc smar ter than those who don’t; better looking, too, nine to ten. This is natural, if not logical. Advertising is an indication of intelligence, and intelligence is one of tho leading elements of good luck. At all events tho world believes in those who advertise, and it plants its dollars in their pockets. Such are live people; and in these live days nobody wanks anything to do with any but your live men and women. Our advice to everybody—ex cept in matrimony—is to advertise. It is sure to return largely, increase your rep utation as a business man, make hosts of friends, and add to the number of shrewd and sensible people iu tho. world, of which there Ims never yet been nn overstock.

Harrisburg, Jan. 25. Advertising Sales of Property.— Tho Lancaster Intelligencer , In speak ing of tho importance and great advan tage of advertising sales of property in tho newspapers, in addition to having handbills printed very truthfully, says: “ A newspaper Is read by hundreds who never see tho attractive bills which are posted in tho taverns and store-rooms. Every subscriber to a county paper rends all such advertisements carefully. He knows who nro selling out and exactly what is offered for sale. Tho advertise ments are a topic of conversation when friends meet; and arrangements are nnulo for attending sales, Tho result is a largo crowd, spirited bidding, and a realization of ten, twenty or fifty times of what it cost to advertise. No money is so sure to return a largo profit as that spent on prin ter’s ink. A single additional bidder on a single article will pay all it costa to ad vcrlise a sale of personal proyerty in u newspaper. Is it not strange, then, tin*, anyone should fail to advertise ? Lctour friends think of the matter.” A New Lank. —A number of our pro minent men of business have organized themselves into a private banking Asso ciation, with the intention of taking out a charter under the State Banking law, as soon as tho same can be obtained.
