During a gloomy period in the rebellion, when Lee's rebel army was overrunning the lower counties of this State robbing and plundering the people almost indis criminately, a body of men calling them selves the Democratic Convention assem bled at Harrisburg, and looked withal most stoical indifference on the state o( our National affairs. They talked and prated about the " Constitution," hut they had no warm words of condemnation of the rebellion—no cheering words to our gallant soldiers who were enduring the hardships and privations of war for the sake of our government and its very ex istence. Judge Woodward had delivere 1 his infamous opinion that the government could not enforce drafts—Franklin Pierce had pronounced his oration almost openly justifying the rebellion —Seymour of Con necticut had openly defied the govern ment —the New York World, Daily News and other papers, were preparing the pub lic mind for the triumph of the rebellion —and Vailandigham and his tools were ready to take arms against the nation. A1 i this was called "democracy but honest men of that party stood aghast at this spectacle of perfidy and treason, and cast ing aside the traitors they fell into the Union ranks and thus saved our country from ruin and anarchy, if not from slave rule. Last week many of the same men who attended the infamous convention of 1863 again met at Harrisburg under the samespecious name, and nominated Judge S bars wood of Philadelphia as their can didate for Supreme Judge. They also passed a string of highsounding resolu tions, in which the Union of the States is declared perpetual and the Federal Gov ernment supreme; defending the right of all the States to representation in Con gress; opposing negro suffrage by act of Congress or an amendment to tfie State Constitution; charging the Republican party with infidelity in not passing a tar iff bill; charging the same party with usurpation in thegovernineutof the rebel States, etc.; charging the Republican members of the late Legislature with par sing unwise laws; asserting the depend ence of the Copperhead party upon the newspaper press, for due force and useful ness; thanking Chief Justice Woodward for the manner in which he discharged the duties of his office, and pledging sup port to the nominee of this Convention. Among the leading spirits in the con vention were Judge Black, who as Bu chanan's Attorney General, could find nothing in the Constitution to preserve the Union hv force as Andrew Jackson did; Win. A. Wallace, who opposed drafts during the war and last year advised de serters and skedaddlers that they had as good a right as any soldier to vote, togeth er with many others who during the re bellion were ready to give more aid and comfort to the enemy than to the govern ment. Now as then, they consider all the measures taken to preserve us as a nation usurpations; now as then, they consider a white rebel as more deserving than a loyal black ; now as then, they condemn what the people said was right; and now as then applaud tiie men whoso doctrines would have annihilated us as a nation, or made the Northern workiugmen mere serfs to Southern aristocrats. When the people again trust this Vailandigham crew, they will deserve all the evils that will follow the repudiation of the Nation al Securities and a general restoration of the rebel element to power—for those! measures are without doubt in their pro gramme. The attention of our readers is called to the political letter of Gen. Longstreet in to-day's gular that while prominent rebels fully luiderstand their position and advise sub mission, Johnson's Attorney General is doing his best to keep up disorder at the South, just as Black prostituted the Con stitution and laws under Buchanan to produce and foster rebellion. We think we never read apiece of greater imbecility than the last opinion got up to order bv Johnson's Attorney General, as a speci men of which we give a single poiut. The act of Congress says that one year's resi dence shall enlitle any one to be register ed as a voter. Common sense would say that this meant a year immediately pre ceding, yet this " learned lawyer" has the effrontery to say that this year can be made up in parts, so that a rebel who was absent 11 months anil 26 days need he there but one day, or if he resided in either Htate thirty years ago lie need hut return to entitle him to registration! Bic&" The fate of Maximilian is undeter mined. He is a captive and has been awarded a trial before the civil tribunals. There can scarcely be a doubt of his con viction—as there can be none of his guilt. The Forgery Sailed. The subjoined note was sent to the Hun- j tingdon Monitor for its issue of the sth, but did not appear in that paper until the 12th. Mr. McDivitt it will be seen gives an unequivocal denial to the reception of any such note, or anything similar to it. and thus places the misnamed Monitor j and its witnesses in about the same situa tion the rebel iron clad was previous to being blown up: JOURNAL. & AMERICAN OFFICE, \ j June 3, 1867. / J. S. CORNMAN, Esq. Dear Sir: In your issue of May Ist you publish the following note which you i allege was left in this place by Mr. Mor-j rell: On Train.

In last week's issue you re-publish the! same, changing ilie date to the 18th, and alleging that it was directed to me. A sense of duty, alike to yourself and Mr. Morreil impels me to iniform you that no such note was every received by me, nor anything similar to it, either in language j ur purport, and that its publication is an act uncalled for injustice which de-i inands ret raction. I shall, if called upon, be conipcllc! to testify to thaabove state ment, but trii-t that an early correction ' of the error, on your part, may prevent so disagreeable a necessity. Respectfully Yours * It. MCDIVITT. The Journal also fires off a sixty-four pounder into the ribs of the concern that itas been vainly endeavoring to implicate Mr. Morreil in work appertaining to pat ent democracy. That paper, alluding to one of the principals of the Monitor estab lishment, makes the following charges: "You could not have considered our touch so very polluting when you sought, not lmig since, to effect that 'little arrange ment' by which a certain man in this town was to he ousted from the position of Revenue Assessor, amiyourowii honest self appointed. Do you not remember flow confidently you assured us that 'you had the tiling all right, and that it only required the endorsement of the JOURNAL A Nil AMERICAN* to secure your arrange ment V' Your argument, too, was a very forcible one, appealing to our cupidity, our sense of wrong and injury, and in fact to all of tlie old Adam within us. You remember liow you represented to us that 'we we re under no obligations tot hep resent incumbent; that he had injured us, and was no friend of ours—a fact which, how ever inexplicable, we were compelled to admit—and that you would do the fair thing if we would only consent to have him removed and yourself appoint.' We could not but admire your logic and admit the force of your argument, but could not quite see the honesty of your intentions nor consent to lower the dignity of our man hood by an alliance with so despicable a character as yourself." This is rather turning the tables, and proves the old adage anew that those who live in glass houses ought not to throw stones. The Democrat says if Johnson errs it is through Christian charity and kind heartedness. That paper thought other wise when he was inaugurated. Several Maryland rebels have brought suit again-! Union men for destroying; their property during the war. Treason is to be made odious we suppose by pun ishing Union men. The Democrat thinks the republicans would hang everybody who differed with them, if they had a chance. They had riie chance, and yet the three editors of the Democrat are still living. Jef Davis has been dabbling in Canadi an politics already, lu a speech made the other day he expresses his hope that the British llag may always wave along the lakes of our country, and that Cana d i may forever remain a part of the British empire. The Democrat's statement that the boy who bid on Johnson's portrait in derision, under the impression that it was the mar tyred Lincoln, is not correct. The boy was a republican, and it was afterwards taken by one of the faithful's sons, who no doubt thought it was a horse. A daring and successful robbery was perpetrated in New York on Tuesday morning, by which the fur warehouse of Oppcnheim & Co. lost 61.5,000 worth of otter skins. The skins were in five large hogsheads, and how they could be carted away without being seen by the two po licemen on the heat and the private watch man is a mystery. One thousand dollars reward has been offered for the recovery of the goods, or a proportionate amount of them.

S. Constitution abolishing slavery is invalid and of no efi'e<-t, and, of course, slavery is still legal ly in existence in all the Southern States. We have no doubt that this is the real "Democratic" doctrine. A Radical candidate for the Louis iana State Convention has just been mur dered at his home, in Natchitoches parish, under circumstances of peculiar atrocity, which disclose the terrible social and po litical condition of that section of the country. The murderers were nephews of Governor Wells, just removed, and one of them was on the Supreme bench of the State under his uncle's puerile adminis tration. £sa>" The fearful cattle disease has bro ken out again in England, and with renewed virulence. Our stock dealers cannot he too careful in refusing all ini ported live stock from any quarter. A wholesale slaughter of aniiiialsalonesup pressed this terrible plague last year, but it seems lias not eradicated it. ETu Mr. Greeley in the Tribune a few days since said that there were in the Southern States not less than (wo in idioms of "implacable rebels"—who are just as disloyal now as they were during the war, who are jusf as ready to burn negro school houses. insult female teachers, and perse cute loyal men as tiiey ever were, and who "must be suppressed ordriven out" before the country can have any solid peace, in asmuch as they "cannot possibly be won over to loyalty." A writer in the Nation very naturally inquires what efl'eet Mr. Greeley's pet project of a universal am nesty is to have upon this irredeemable mass of persistent rebels, and how he reconciles his advocacy of it with his opinion of the real character and influence of these two millions. The question seems to be something of a puzzle. Per haps Mr. Greeley will find time, now that all the doorkeepers of the Constitutional Convention have been appointed, to give it a little of his attention.—A'. V. Times, June h. Trial of Seirrall. WASHINGTON, June 15, 1867. But little progress was made with the trial of Surr.itt to-day. Judge Cartter, who presides at the June term of the Criminal Court, is expected this evening. There will be a question raised at the opening of the court on Monday as to whether the jury already sworn is com petent to act in the case. The trial, how ever, will be vigorously prosecuted by the Government. A powerful array of evi dence for the prosecution has been obtained and new witnesses are constantly being brought forward. The Government has not suffered by the delay in the ease. On the contrary, the counsel for the prosecu tion assert that their position has rather been strengthened by it. Witnesses are now here who will prove Surratt's pres ence in Washington on the night of the assassination. His supposed absence from the city that night was one of the strong points upon which the defence re lied. It is also believed that a chain of evidence will he established showing Jef Davis' connection with the plot to murder President Lincoln. The counsel for the Government have been very earnest and industrious in making up the case. While District Attorney Carrington and Judges Edwards and Pierrepont have been repre senting the ease ill court, Hon. John A. Bingham, of Ohio, and Hon. A. G. Rid del I, of this city, who are retained as as sistants, have been gathering and arrang ing testimony.

NEW Yokk, J line 10.—On Sunday night' Mr. and Mrs. Alfred King, residiugat No. ; 30 East Nineteenth street, retired to their: sleeping apartment, and as they did not make their appearance to-day at the usual hour, a servant proceeded to their joom and discovered the husband and wife ly ing dead in a bed which was covered with blood. A pistol was found in the bed, three c hambers of which had i>een dis charged. It is supposed that King first shot his wife, having previously given her chloroform, and then killed himself. General Custer, in his expedition into the Indian country, has been peculi arly unfortunate —not that the savages have fought and defeated him— but thati so many of his men are deserting. It ap peal's that 3* Ml, with their horses and entire! outfits, have deserted, and though this wholesale disappearance has all taken place within a month, the entire force be ing only from 1,600 to 2,01)0 strong. It requires only a simplecaleulation to show just how long General Custer's army can withstand this new enemy. Desertion has always been epidemic in the armies on tiie Plains, and no adequate remedy has yet been proposed for it. No, nor will be as long as Andrew Johnson pardons rebels by wholesale, and copperhead judges of the Supreme Court of this State decide that all a deserter has to do is to keep clear of arrest during a war, after which he can return and be as good a citizen as the best soldier that ever !shouldered a musket. BOOK NOTICES. - The fourth volume of the "Diamond Dickens," containing Nicholas Niekleby, incomparably the best edition of the com plete works of the greatest living novelists yet undertaken in America, and in many respects comparing favorably with the ; finest English editions of those works, and to lie commended for the cheapness ; with which it isatlbrded, has been receiv ed l'rom Messrs. l ick nor & Fields, Bos ton. Of the novel itself it is unnecessary to say much. It is of the author's earlier wo! ks, .and perhaps it is the niostmassive of them all. Its appearance made him free of the literary guild. Many passages in it are not surpassed bv the best of his ; subsequent writings, anu there is a tragic depth in some of the incidents that it is not easy to parallel. Probably no one of Mr. Dickon's stories hits furnished more characters that have become fixtures in the mind than Nicholas A "ickULy. John Browdie, 'Tilda Price, Newman Noggs, Mr. Mantaliui, Ralph Niekleby, Tim I.inkinwater, the brothers < 'heeryble, the Crummies family, (with a special place for "the Phenomenon,") Arthur Gride, Sinike, all the Squeerses, Miss La Cree vey, and Miss Knag, are they not just as well known to us all as if we had met them all time and again during the last thirty years, which is about the date of their first appearance on the stage of life? While speaking of this edition of Dick ens's writings, we may mention that the publishers have honorably established their right to use it, Ity sending to the au thor a large sum of money, the receipt of which that gentleman has acknowledged in the most courteous terms, thus show ing himself entirely satisfied with their course. Their voluntarily liberal conduct in all their transactions with foreign au thors shows that they are utterly incapa ble of ungentlemanly conduct, orof avail ing themselves of mere legal advantages in matters of business. "The Pickwick Papers," "Our Mutual Friend," "DavidCopperfield"and " Nich olas Niekleby," have already been issued in the " Diamond" edition. They will be followed by a volume a month until the series is complete. The Illustrated Edition, in green mo rocco cloth, with a gold medallion por trait of the author, costs SI. 50 per volume. An edition precisely similar in respect to printingan 1 paper, but without the plates, and bound in crimson morocco cloth, is od at 51.25 per volume. The books are elegant enough for the richest, and cheap enough for the poorest. " The Diamond Dickens" should find a place in every house in the laud. The people who read the great English humorist and moralist can hardly fail to grow wiser and better. These books can be obtained at book- Mores generally, or on remitting the amount to Messrs. Tick nor & Fields, Bos ton, Mass., the publishers will forward them to any direction, postage paid.

LONDON, May 21, 1867. We arrived here from Liverpool on the evening of the 18th, having traversed proud little England from shore to shore in a few hours. Thirty miles an hour is: tlie ordinary rateof speed on the railroads here. The tracks are more substantially built than in our own country, and for nearly their entire length are as straight as the surveyor's line can make them. In stead of the long cars used in America, the English employ carriages, containing three separate compartments, with doors at the sides, a large number of which arej attached to each train. The country between Liverpool and London, comprising the very heart of England, is the finest, in UH agricultural point of view, 1 ever looked upon. The entire route at this season presents a mar velous picture of verdureand beauty. The rich iimi deep green of the fields, the haw thorn hedges, the gardens, the beautiful villas, the charming cottages, half cover ed with eglantine and ivy, the little rail way stations, built in very picturesque ami endlessly varied forms —these and a hund red other objects come into view in the most rapid and ever changiugsuecession. But I believe I promised your readers not! to be poetical, and I shall have to leave; the country and get hack to London, or; they will begin to think I have forgotten my promise. Well, here I am, in this great city, the! largest in the world, said to contain 3,000,- 000 of inhabitants. Having been here but a few days, I have of course seen but little! of the world's metropolis. The public! buildings, of which I have obtained a! glimpse, are splendid specimens of archi tecture and strength, looking as if they were constructed to lae ott" for Paris, I where we will remain a few days only, and then push on to Italy, wishing to reach there before tiie weather becomes too hot.
