Uistory of a Strunge Character, ago last August there died in one of the narrow and gloomy cells of the Kenebec county jail, in Au gusta, Maine, a man whose noble mien and strange history attracted the atten tion and commanded the fees of nearly every man, woman and child, who visi ted that village, and had time to behold so singular an object and listen to his tragical narration. This was the vener able Henry MuCuusluud. In that stone cell, “solitary and alone,” he spent a thirty-six years—between the ages of .‘lO und 72— awaiting, and all tiie time earn estly demanding, the sentence of death, for the crime of willful murder—a sen ’tence which, though lie was found un qualifiedly “guilty” in court,was never pronounced upon him. His person was one of the noblest specimens of fji-rms Itoiito— full six feet in height, well proportioned in body and limbs, straight, erect, with a kindly countenance and a flowing beard of snowy whiteness? which, for all that time, bud felt only tiie friendly salutations of a huge horse inane comb. • Like the heard of the great Hebrew priest; it “ went down to the skirts of his garment.” It was not common or fashionable then, as it is now for his modern imitators, to exhibit such barbarian, because unburbered, visages; and consequently his Jewish physiognomy was a terror to juveniles and the wonder of all. The circumstances of his life-long im prisonment, without sentence, or exe cution of legal punishment, were singu lar, and will bear a narration even at thfe present day. Henry McCausiaiid was a mi 11-wright in Gardiner. lie was a patriot of the Revolution, and served his country in the war for Independence. During a violent religious excitement, produced by certain New Lights, he became a eouvert; and his impressions were so strong, that lie thought he held direct spiritual communication with the Al mighty, who required him, in order to insure His final favor, to make a Ihmit Offering and a sacrifice. On every oilier subject but that of religion, be was perfectly rational ; bill on this lie was perfectly deluded, in fact a mono maniac. For a. time lie resisted tiie heavenly calling ; lint i lie more lie re sisted, the eleaier were Jiis visions and the thicker came the texts of Scrip ture which urged him to “obey God rather than man.” Hut what should lie his Limit Offering? and where should lie find the victim for sacrifice? These were revealed to him in this wise: There was an English Episcopal church in Gardiner, built by its legalized patron, William Gardiner, for whose name.the town was called. This church, in the phraseology of tiie New Lights, was a child of the Mother of Harlots—the whore of Rome. It was aproud, scornful enemy of true religion and of its revivals. The edilice where Satan had liis Hancluary must needs be put out of the way; that, therefore, was doomed for a burnt offering. Ac cordingly on the night of the 22d of August, 17!)J, hefilledacliild’sshoe witli live coals and repaired to the church, which lie-soon succeeded in burning to the ground. That same patron of the church had no wife, but a married wo man who kept his house; and who, as McCausiaiid believed, had given birth to three illegitimate-children by the church patron, thereby committing the “ unpardonable sin,” against the three persons of the blessed Trinity, tiie Father, the Son, and the Holy ({host. Evidently she was a proper victim for the sacrifice. It happened upon a cer tain night in October, this woman, Mrs. Warren, was called to watch with a sick sister up the Cobbossee stream. Thither lie repaired at midnight by menus of his canoe, entered the house and sick-room, without ceremony, and proceeded to the discharge of his pious duty. Mrs. Warren was jparliully re clining by the side of her sick sister, supporting her aching head upon her own bosom. McGauslaml had taken no weapon or instrument of'death with him, knowing that if the Lord had called him to make the sacrifice, he would provide with the means, and so, casting his eyes over the head board, he espied a newly sharpened butcher-knife stuck to the beam ; “and then,” said he, “all Iliad to do was to take the knife down with one hand, while I seized her head with the oilier, and drew it sharply across her throat—and she bled to death like a stuck calf!” He had now fulfilled his mission, and cheerfully surrendered himself to suffer the penalty of the law. This was a part of the programme which he coveted as much as the other performance. He wanted to “suffer for righteousness” sake, and thus go to heaven as a reward for obeying the cotnmaud of God. He was immediately arrested ; the Grand . Jury found a bill of indictment agaiust him of murder in the first degree, and he was brought before the full Verndi of the .r.uprciue Court and arraigned for trial. When the clerk read the indict ment to him, and as its conclusion re? quired hitn to say whether he plead guilty or not guilty to the charge, with a clear voice and an honest lace he re sponded, “ Guilty !” Tiie Judges, be lieving that the man was more of mono maniac than a base murderer, did not wish to put in that plea, but desired that he should plead not guilty, in order' that the Jury might bring in such a verdict-as would authorize the Court to pronounce a sentence of perpetual con finement rather than that of death, which, as the law then was, could be obviated only by Executive pardon, that would no tbe safe in his case.— And so the Chief Justice said to him that he was not bound to plead guilty to the charge ; that was a thing for the Government to prove; and he earnest ly advised him to withdraw the plea he had made, and instead thereof put in the plea of not guilty. “ What!” ex claimed the prisoner, McCausiaiid, “would the Honorable Justice of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts advise me to tie to their Honors ? I did kill the woman ; I meant to kill her; lam guilty, and want to suffer the penalty !” What could the Court do ? They could not feel it their duty to order him hung; and, after consultation, directed the Sheriff to take the prisoner to the Jail whence he came, and leave him there to await his sentence. Aud there he stayed in the murderer’s cell awaiting sentence from Oct. 20, 1794, to Aug, 22, 1829, a period which, after a year of confine ment before trial, wanted only two months of thirty-six ycars y when death relieved him from a prison that had so long beeu Ills solitary home, utulfrom a world whose bright sun and green fields he had not seen for more than ono-thlrd of.a century. 1 Afl often as the Court sat during all I'rtiu'rtstcr fttMipnM VOLUME 67. that time, he never failed to send word to the Judges by his Jailer, respectfully requesting them to explain why they neglected their duty in his case, and demanding that they should pronounce the sentence due him; but the Court could only renew at every session its instruction to the Sheriff to keep him where was awaiting sentence. He wa-Min object of great curiosity. All the exercise he had was to pace the floor of his cell, which he did at regular hoilTs.\ He kept himself and his dungeon exceedingly clean. He washed and combed himself thrice per day, read his Bible systematically, and by the use of other books and of news papers which were given him, kept up with the passing history of the times. The narration which he gave to visitors, the prayers which he offered to God, and the hymns which he so musically sung, were all well composed and well expressed. His health never failed him till the last month of his existence. When visitors called to see Him and they were many—he wouhl stand con cealed under the front wall of his cell, besides the littlegrated window, as they approached it to look in, and would uot exhibit himself till a baud was thrust through with two cents in it, which he would receive as his customary fee, und then lie would present his noble form, with all its manly beauty and dignity. Stroking down his long white beard, after saluting his visitors, he would begin to relate the circumstances of his murder with all the soberness ami pious air of an OldTestarnentpatriarcli; then lie would pray a fervent prayer, and close by singing a well-chosen religious hymn. In the course of a year he thus collected quite large sums of money, which, with the pension he received for his Revolutionary services, lie sent to his family, that was highly respect able, in Gardiner. They visited him often, and keptliimsupplicd with all the necessaries of life that the jailor was nol uutiiori/.ed to provide for him. During the most of his confinement it was his good fortune to have in the person of his keeper, one of the most intelligent and kind-hearted men that ever blest the societyof Augusta—Hon. Ritl Dillingham. MoCausland regarded him as his father uud friend. On one occasion Mr. Dillingham ventured to oiler to take him out of his cell and to conduct him into the square in front of the jail that lie might once more see the glorious sun, thearehingaky, the green earth, and the dwelling places of man which lined the street. His reply was characteristic—“l cannot consent, sir, that you should thus transgress the laws on my account. Since I cannot go free, it is better I should stay where 1 am, for should I once more behold the beauties of the earth, I should only re turn less happy than I am now. No, sir, let me live and die in my cell.” At another time, however, Mr. Dill ingham did prevail upon him to pass the door of his private parlor. As lie entered the room, his eyes stared fear fully upon the rich furniture ; and find ing himself before the mirror, hebeheld his whole person so altered since he saw it last in early manhood, that he sauk with a fainting sensation into a chair, and begged his kind assistant to conduct ' him as speedily as possible into his cell again. Mr. Dillingham died in July, 1829. It was a shock too severe for the aged prisoner to bear. It was a death blow to him. Therefore he sank rapidly into the arms of death, and in a single mouth after followed his kind keeper into tiie auirit world. Inclined lo be Quarrelsome. There was once a little, slim built fel low, rich as a Jew, riding along a highway in the State of Georgia, when lie overtook a man driving a drove of hogs, by the help of a big, raw bone,six foot-two specimen of humanity. Stop ping before tiie last named individual he accosted him : “I say, are those your hogs?” “No sir; 1 am at work by the mouth.” v “What pay might you be getting, my friend?” \ “Ten dollars amonth and the whiskey thrown in,” was the reply. “Well, look here ! I’m a weak, little* inoffensive man, and people are apt to impose upon me, d’ye see? Now, I’ll give you twenty-live dollurs a month to ride with me and protect me,” said Mr. Gardner. “But,” lie added, how might you be on a light.” “Never was licked in my life,” re joined the six-footer. “Just the man I want. Is it a bargain?” queried Gardner. Six footer ruminated. “ Twenty-dollars ; double wages ; nothing to do but ride around and smash a fellow’s mug occasionally when he is sassy.” * They rode along, till just at night they reached the village inn. Gardner immediately singled out the biggest fel low in the room and picked a fuss witli him. After considerable promiscuous jawiug, Gardner turned to his friend and intimated that the whipping of that man had become a sad necessity, six-footer peeled, went in, and came out first bcM. The second night at another hotel, the same scene was re-enacted. Gard ner getting in a row with the biggest man in the place, and six-footer doing the fighting. At last, on the third day, they came to a ferry kept by a huge, double-fisted man, who had never been licked in his life. While crossing the river, Gard ner, as usual, begau to find fault and “blow.” The ferryman naturally got mad, threw things around, and told his opinion of their kind. Gardner then turned to his friend and broke the in telligence to him “that he was sorry, but it was absolutely necessary to thrash the ferryman.” Six footer nodded his head but said nothing. It was plainly to be seen that he did not relish the job by the way he shrugged his shoulders, but there was no help for it. So, when they reached the shore, both'stripped and at it they went. Up and down the bank over the sand into the water, they fought, scratched, bit and rolled, till at the end of an hour the ferryman gave in. Six-footer was triumpnant, but it was hard work. Going up to his em ployer, he scratched his head for a mo ment, and then broke forth. “Look here, Mr. Gardner, your salary sets mighty well—but—l’m—of—the— opinion—that your inclined to be quar relsome. Here, I’ve only been with you three days, aud I’ve licked the three biggest men in the country I I think the firm had better dissolve; for you see Mr. Gardner, I’m afraid you’re Inclined to be quarrelsome, and reckon I’ll draw.” This remains of Colonel Black, who fell at Gains Mills, Va., have been found near the battle-field. He was reoognlz ed by a small flag handkerohlef found la one of Ills pockets. The President's Message Vetoing the Freedmen’s Bureau Bill. Washington, July 16. THE VETO MESSAGE. The following is the Veto Message of the President, communicated to-day to the House of Representatives: A oareful examination ot the bill passed by the two Houses of Congress, entitled “An act to coutinue in force, and to amend an act to establish a bureau for the relief of freedmen and refugees, und for other pur poses,” has convinced me that the legisla tion which it promises would not be consist ent with the welfare of the country, and that it falls clearly within the reasons as signed in my message of the 19th of Febru ary last, returning without my signature a similar measure which originated in the Senate. It is not my purpose to repeat the objectionswhich I then urged. They are fresh in your recollection, and can be readily ex amined as a part of the records of one blanch of the Nutional Legislature. Adheringto the principles set forth in that message, I now reaffirm them and the line of policy therein indicated. Th<‘ only ground* upon which this kind of legislation can be justified is that of the war-making power, and the act of which this bill is intended as amendatory, was passed during the existence of the war. By its own provisions it is to terminate within one year from the cessation of hos tilities and the declaration of peace. It is, therefore, vet in existence, auii it is likely that il will continue in force as long as the freed men may require the benefits of its provisions. It will certainly remain in op eration as a law until some months subse quent to the meeting ot the next session of Congress. when if experience shall make evident tiie necessity of additional legisla tion, the two Houses will have ample time to mature and pass the requisite measures. In tiie meantime the questions arise, Why should this war measure be continued be yond the period designated in the original act? and why, in time of peace, should mil itary tribunals lie created to continue until eucii Slate shall be fully restored in its con stitutional relations to the Government and shall be duly represented in the Congress of the United States ? Itwasmanifest with re spect to the act approved March 3, that prudence and wisdom alike required that jurisdiction over all cases concerning the free enjoyment of the immunities and rights of citizenship, as well as the protec tion of person and property, should bo con ferred upon some tribunal in every Stale or district whore the ordinary course of judicial proceedings .was interrupted by the rebellion, anil until the same should be fully restored. At that lime, therefore, an urgent necessity exisied for the pussuge of such a law, now tiie war lias substantially ceased. The ordinary course of judicial proceeding is no longer interrupted. Thu Courts, Doth State and Federal, are in full, complete and successful operation, und through them every person, regardless of race und color, is entitled to and can be hoard. Tiie protection grunted to white citizen is already conferred by law upon the freedmuu. Strong and stringent guards, by way of penalties and punishments, are thrown around his person and properly, audit is believed that ampleproteetion will 1)6 afforded him by due process of law, without resort to the dangerous expedient of military tribunals. Now, that the war has been brought to a close, the necessity no longer existing for such tribunals as had l heir origin in the war, grave objections to their continuance must present themselves to the minds of all relleoting and dis passionate. Independently of the dan ger in representative Republics of conferring upon the military in time of peace extraordinary powers, so caivfully guarded against by the patriots and suucMJieu of the earlier days of Die Republic, so frequently the ruin of governments founded upon the same free principles, and subversive of the rights arid liberties of the citizen, the question of prac tical economy earnestly commends itself to the consideration of the law-making power. With an immense debt already burdening the eneigies of the industrial and laboring classes, a due regal’d for their interests, so inseparably connected witli the welfare of the country, should prompt us to rigid economy and retrenchment, and inllueuce us to abstain from all legislation that would unnecessarily increase the public indebt noss. Tested by this rule of sound political wisdom, I can see no reason for the estab lishment of the military jurisdiction con ferred upon the otficials of the Bureau by the fourteenth section of the bill. By the laws of the United Stales and of the differ ent Slates, competent courts, Fedcrul and State, have been established, and are now in full practical operation. By means of these civil tribunals, ample redress is af forded for all private wrongs, whether to the person or the property of the citizen, without denial or unnecessary delay. They are open to all without regard to color o*r race. 1 feel well assured that it will be bet ter to trust the rights, privileges and im mimilies of the citizens to tribunals thus established and presided overby competent and impartial judges, bound by fixed rules of law and evidence, and when the right of trial by jury is guaranteed and secured, than to the capriceor judgmentof an ofiicer of Die Bureau, who it is possible, may be entirely ignorant ofihejprinciplesthatunder lie the just administration of the law. There is danger, too, that conllict of jurisdiction will frequently arise between the civil courts and these military tribunals, each having concurrent jurisdiction over the person and cause of action ; the one juris diction administered and controlled by civil law, Die other by military. How is the conflict If) be settled and who is to deter mine between the two tribunals, when it arises? In my opinion it is wise to guard against such conllict by leaving to the courts und juries the protection of all civil rights and the redress of all civil grievances. The fact cannot be denied that since the ac tual cessation of hostilities many acts of violence, such, perhaps, as lmd never been witnessed in their previous history, have occurred in the Slates involved in the re cent rebellion. I believe, however, that public sentiment will sustain me in the as sertion that such deoils of wrong are not confined to any particular State or section, but are manifested over the online country, demonstrating that the cause that pro duced them does not depend upon any par ticular I'iealily, but is the result of the agi tation and derangement incident to a long and bloody war. While the prevalence of such disorders must be givauy deplored, their occasional and temporary recurrence would seem to furnish no necessity lor the extension of the Bureau beyond the period fixed ill the original act. Besides the ob jections 1 have thus briefly slated, I may urge upon your consideration Die addition al reason that recent developments in re gard to the practical operations of the Bu reau in many of the States, show that in numerous instances it is.used by its agents as a means of promoting their" individual advantage, and that the freedmen arojom ployed Gr Du* advancement of Du* personal iaitis ni : od'uvr.". instead of tiieir uwiqini • , proveini'nl and welfare; thus continuing Die fears originally entertained by many, that the continuation of such a Bureau for any immediate length of time would in evitably result in fraud, corruption and oppression. It is proper to state that in eases ot this character, investigations have been promptly ordered, and the offender punished whenover liis guilt lias been satis factorily established. As another reason against the necessity of the legislaDoiicoiitemplated by this meas ure, reference may bo had to the Civil Rights Bill, now a law of the land, and which will be faithfully executed so long • as it shall remain unrepealed, and not bo declared unconstitutional by Courts of com petent jurisdiction. By that act it is enact ed, “ That all persons born in the United States, and not subject to any foreign Bower, excluding Indians not taxed, are hereby declared to be citizens of the United Stutesj und such citizens of every race und color, without regurd to any previous con dition of slavery or involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime, whereof the party shall have been duly “convicted, shall have the same right in every Shite audTerritory in the United States, to make and enforce contracts, to sue, be parties aud give evidence, ,to inherit, purchase, lease, sell, hold and convey real and personal property, and to full and equal benefit of all laws and proceedings for the security of person and property as is enjoyed by white citizens, and shall be subject to like punish ments, pains und penalties, and to none other, auy law, statute, ordinunco. regula tion or custom to the contrary notwithstand ing.” By tiie provisions of the act full pro tection is afforded through the District Courts of the United {States to all persons injured, and whoso privileges as thus de clared are in anv way impuired and very heavy penalties are denounced against the porson who wilfully violates the law. I need npt stato that that law did not receive m y approval, yet its remedies are far more preferuble than those proposed hi the pre sent bill, the quo being civil add tho other military. By the sixth sootlon of the bill, herewith returned, certain proceedings by which the lands in the I arlslioa of St. Helena and St. Luke, South Carolina, wore sold and bid in, and afterward disposed of by tho Tax Commissioners, uro confirmed und ratified. By the 7th, Bth, 9th, loth and 11th sections, provisions uro made by law for llio disposal of tho lands thus ucqulrod to a nartloular class of citizens. Wbllo tho granting of tltloti \h doomed very important and dosirablo, tho dlHorlnol* nutloii made in tho bill seems obiootlonablo, as does also tho attompt to confer upon tho LANCASTER. PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 25, 1866. Comraissionersjudicial powers by which citizens of the United States are to be de prived of their property in a mode con trary to that provision of the Constitution which declares that no person shall be de prived of life, liberty or property without due process of law. As a general principle such legislation is unsafe, unwise, partial and unconstitutional. It may deprive per sons of property who are equally deserving objects of the nution's bounty as those whom by this legislation Congress seeks to benefit. The title to the land thus to be portioned out to a favored class of citizens must depend upon the regularity of the tax aulas under the law as it existed at the lime of the sale, and uo subsequent legislation can give validity to the rights thus acquired as aguinst the original claimant. The at tention of Congress is therefore invited to a more mature consideration of the measures proposed in these sections of the bill. In conclusion I again urge upon Congres the danger of class legislation, so well cal culated to keep the public mind in astateof uncertain expectation, disquiet and rest lessness, and to encourage interested hopes and fears that the National Government will continue to furnish to classes of citizens in the several .States means for support and maintenance regardless as to whether they pursue u life of indolence or of labor, and regardless also of the constitutional limita tions of the national authority in times of peace and tranquility. Tiie bill is herewith returned to the House of Representatives, in which it originated, for its final action. ANDREW JOHNSON. Washington, 1). ('., July lt>, hstiti.

Ilow the Ladles of Pompeii Dressed. The Pompeiian women obtained from the east an unguent with which they saturated their hair, and then sat for hours in the sun until the foreign sub stance was dried iu, and the hair was transformed. Sometimes the process took days to be perfected, and then, if the lady has so large a circle of acquain tances that she could secure no privacy in her city house, she betook herself to the country, and remained there till her hair was made more silken and more rich with golden hue. Thestyleof dressing the hair varied as it varies with us, fashion being more of an arbitress than taste in tliat import ant detail of woman’s costume. “ Hats" and cushions were skillfully adjusted by the slave an to the head of her misiress, and we Hud some traces of the waterfall. Curls seem to have been the favorite style of dressing the lmir for a time—curls thrown hack of the head and ilowing on the neck, such as wo call Grecian curls. Wearing the hfiir iu a large knot on the summit of the head, or in short ringlets around the forehead, was also a favorite mode with the exquisites of those days of exquisite elegance. But what adorned most the head of the Pompeiian belles were the jeweled combs and jeweled pins with which they used to fasten their hair* Some of the-e were marvelously beau tiful—not iu color only, but in poetical design. One of those pins found in Herculaneum, and about seven or eight inches long, is surmounted by a Venus chisscled in gold ; she is twisting her hair, and looks at herself iu a mirror held by Cupid. Another is ornamented with a small figure of Psyche kissing Love. These jeweled pins are, perhaps, the most interesting feature of a woman’s jHirurc. They seem to have been se lected with such dainty care as best har monized with the occasion in which they were worn, showing at once that the symbols they represented were not overlooked, nor their poetical meaning unremembered. Wemodernscannotadiiiire those pins without wonder at the perfect taste with which the pagan artisLs used in form ing the least Liille. Would it be possi ble to use wilii more effector with more grace so small a space as the head of a pin for the hair, Our aigruts, our diamond constella tions, and our koh-i-noors are very beautiful, but among all our modern designs for jewels and parurcs none awaken in our mind associations of ideas so exquisite as those suggested by tlie taste of those graceful pagans. Young girls in Pompeii wore nets, und exercised the charming capacious ness of their fickle taste in choice of color, textures andstyle. Someofthem were made of gold thread, studded with pearls and other precious stones. But with tliat same passion for beauty in dress which now, as then, lies at the very heart of woman’s nature, nothing could be moreunlikeour modern female costumethan thatofthe Homan women. Their ideal wus naturalness, and hence genuine beauty of form. They did not wear corsets, nor had they the remotest idea of barreling up their busts with whalebone or steel. Next to the skin they wore a garment of the finest cam bric, very much like the modern chemise. Then astraight bund or scarf, called slrophium , which served to sup port the bosom with tliat grace we so admire in antique paintings. The makers of that part of a woman’s ward robe were as much patronized by Pom peiian belles as our French corset makers are to-day patronized by women of elegance. Over that band was worn a sort of jacket wilh long sleeves, and made of the finest white wool. When at home the tunic covered tho whole, and the length of that ample, Ilowing drapery measured somewhat the virtue of the wearer, for it seems that the “purple women’’ of those days preferred to wear their tunicsvery short, to show their legs laden with bracelets, while the Homan matrons lengthened their vestures by a fiouuce embroidered with gold. Tiie tunic was fastened around her waist by a belt artistically hidden under some folds of the tucked up drapery. For the promenade, wo men of fashion wore the mantle, the beauty of which wus best displayed by the style in which it exposed the right breast, and was thrown over the left shoulder. These mantles were invari ably white, and so fine iu texture that the incorrigible Petronious speaks of them as of “woven wind.” Fashiona ble Homan women also wore white kid boots. The “purple women” wore san dals, so us to let their feet be seen— those finely shaped large Homan feet which our modern taste would admire more had they been smaller. Extreme cure was bestowed upon tho nails of feet and hands. There was ono special slave invested with the respon sibility of keeping the nails of her mis tress properly pared, cleaned and tinted. Women never wore gloves,yet they del icately cherished their bauds and fin gers. They kept them beautiful not by idleness alone, but by a variety of cos metics iuteuded to render the skin solt, smooth and fiower-like. And, as the customs of these days made tho fingers of women speak eloquently in adroit gesticulation, the beauty of the hand could not bu over looked. Horace mukea fun of some original wag Independent enough to cut his own nails, und dispense with the services of barber or slave. Murder In Centre County.
