!lam TIM I' LOYAL LEAGUERS." who were com
pelled by strong public opinion, to abandon their
mean attempt to control the reception of the
128th Regiment for partisan purposes, made
another effort to east the firebrand of politics
into an otherwise harmonious affair, by paltry
objections to several members of the joint com
mittee of Arrangement. They actually went so
far as to hold a meeting to denounce the appoint
ment of Messrs. Jones, Ancona and Albright,
and to endeavor to prejudice the soldiers against
a reception by the City Authorities, unless these
gentlemen were removed. So bitter in their
prejudices have these " no party" Leaguers be
come, that they lose sight entirely of the fact
that this Committee was composed of an equal
number of men of both parties ; and that if the
Democrats were represented in part by the gen
tleman already named, they had their represen
tatives in the persons of Messrs. Richards,
Young, Breneiser, Frees and others, who are
quite as decided in their political opinions on
the Administration side as the others are on the
Democratic side. But, to the credit of the eel
diere be it said, the plottings of the Leaguers
received no countenance from them. The self
constituted Committee that went to Harrisburg to
stir up bad feeling among the soldiers, were flatly
told that they would have nothing to do with poli
tics in their reception—that they desired to be
received by the City Authorities, irrespective of
party, or not at all. And so, the Committee
aforesaid came home with what they deserved—
big fleas in their ears ; And the Leaguers' second
attempt to disgrace our city by a fortlnn brawl
over our returning Volunteers, failed is tote.
P. B.—We notice a dispatch from Reading
in the Philadelphia papers of yesterday, stating
that the soldiers "received a glorious welcome
at the hands of the citizens and Union League:"
This is not true, and the person who sent the dis
patch must have known it. The soldiers had, as
they deserved to have, "a glorious welcome,"
but it was not from the " Union League." That
concern, as a body, had no more to do with the
reception theta the Demiseratie Club, And it made
no attempt to interfere. Some of the Union
Leaguers may have taken, and doubtless did take,
part in the welcome, as citizens; but. the League,
as snob, bad no part or lot in the reception, or
in any of its arrangements. Why should some of
its indiscreet members persist in misrepresenting
and falsifying things I
Itootaranrer. FLAGS.—Gov. Curtin has granted
permission to the returning regiments to carry
home the flags which were presented to them by
the State during the time of their service in the
field. The object of this is to allow the regiments
an opportunity of displaying these ensigns,
around which they have rallied and fought, and
of which they are so justly proud, in the recep•
tione which await them at home. It is understood
that the flags will afterwards be returned, to be
deposited among the archives of the State, as
provided by the law which directed their pre
sentation.
The flag of the 128th was carried in the pro
cession of our returned Volunteers on Thursday
last.. Stained and weather-beaten, although
still well preserved, it. bears ;the marks of the
fierce conflicts in which it was borne by the
brave troops who fought so well for the canes
it so beautifully typifies.
CLINTON CouNTY FOR CLYMER. —The Democrat:-
le Standing Committee of Clinton county met on
Tuesday evening, the 12th inSt., sad recommend
ed Dr. Joseph M'Micken for Senatorial delegate
to the State Convention, with authority to appoint
his own Conferees. C. A. Mayer, Esq., was
elected Repreeentatioe delegate. Both these
gentlemen are avowed supporters of Hiester Cly
mer for Governor. On motion, the following
resolution was unanimously adopted by the
Committee, vie
Resolved, That the Senatorial and Representa
tive Delegates now phosen to meet in Convention
at Harrisburg, in June next, be and they are
hereby instructed to vote for and use all fair and
honorable means in said Convention to secure
the nomination of Hon. Hiester Clymer, of Berke
county, for Governor of Pennsylvania.
FIINSENT POLITICAL INDICATIONS seem to
strongly point toward the Hon. Hiester Clymer,
of Berko county, as the next Democratsle nomi
nee for Governor of Pennsylvania. A large
number of counties—and among them Lycoming,
Clinton, and Bradford, in this section of the
state—have already instructed their delegates
to support him in the coming convention. The
nomination of Mr. Clymer would give general
satisfaction, and place the election of a Demo
cratic Governor, next October, almost beyond the
limits of doubt.—Lycoming Gazette.

VALLANDIGHAM'S CASE
The application fora writ. of /07 1 . rag ctirrot in
the case of Clement L. Vallandigharn, before
Judge Leavitt, of the Circuit Court of the Uni
ted States, has been refused, and the Court Mar
tial by which he was tried have pronounced him
guilty of the charges preferred against Lim. lie is
sentenced to "close confinement in some Fortress
of the United States during the war." The New
York papers aver that he has been taken to Fort
Warren, but others assert, apparently on good
authority, that the President has changed the
sentence to banishment into the rebel. States. Be
this as it may, there is no doubt that the Ad•
ministration were determined upon getting Val
landigham out of the way ; and whether he has
been scut to Fort Warren or into " Dixie," that
determination has been, by this time, fulfilled.
One of the first fruits of this cruel and arbitrary
proceeding, appears in the papers of yesterday,
in the shape of an announcement that the wife
of Mr. Vallaudighatu has become crazy with
grief and anxiety;
While the Administrationists are rejoicing
that one "pestilent" Democrat has been thus
summarily disposed of, Wendell Phillips, ng
black-hearted a traitor as ever lived—who boast
ed, under the very nose of the President, that
he had labored for nineteen years to take nine
teen States out of the Union, and who, even
now, is making speeches in ridicule and abUse of
the Generals in command of the Army—he is
seered la Tun al large, and say whatever he
pleases against the Constitution, the Government
and the Administration.
What was the offence of Mr. Vallandigham ?
In a free State, in a State not occupied by the foot
of an enemy, where all the functions of govern
ment are in their normal state, in a Commonwealth
not under martial law any more than the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania, this man denounced
the party in power. fie used, perhaps, violent
language, but he used no language in sympathy
with rebellion, no language hostile to the main
tenance of the Union. In his way, ho advo
cated nothing short of an undivided Union,
where sections should be governed by their own
municipal laws, without, interference from other
sections. Ills manner may have been offensive,
but his purpose was strictly lawful and fair—a
purpose that every American freeman, with the
Constitution in his hand, can prove to be his
inalienable right.
But what is the action on the other aide?
Spies and informers, at the hands of the military
authorities, were set upon hie track. They dog
ged his footsteps, they caught every phrase and
sentence that fell from his lips, and construed it
into the worst possible form of sedition of which
it would admit. They returned to those who
sent them; and their superiors then set upon
his house at night, and forced him, at the
point of the bayonet., into confinement. lie is
tried by a court martial, where court-martials
had no authority to act, and by that tribunal
is sentenced to imprisonment for an indefinite
time. lie applies to the proper authorities for a
writ of habeas corpus, And they bass not the
independence to grant it., because, as the Judge
who delivered the decision confesses, " there is
no probability that it would be obeyed !"
If this proceeding is to be takes as a sample
of the future course of the Administration, there
is no safety for any man among us. There is no
freedom of speech. There is no freedom of the
press. There is no personal liberty—for it is
effectually crushed out by the hectic of military
authority in places of profound peace; and all,
too, for the gratification of the basest partizan
hatred, and not to suppress rebellion. It be
comes, then, important for us to know if the
civil laws are superseded here by the military
authorities? If so, by what right? No procla
mation has been issued declaring us in a state of
siege, and suspending the civil laws by the only
justifiable means which we know. In the nature
of things, two tribunals cannot have conflicting
jurisdictions. Either the civil courts have juris
diction, or they have not. If they have, they
can take Mr. Vallandigham from the hands of
the court martial. If they have not, the court
martial alone has power over him, and the civil
laws are suspended. If they are suspended in
Ohio, they are in Pennsylvania, and iso men is
safe in saying aught against any of the acts of
the Administration, however true he may be in
his allegiance to the Union and Government of
the Fathers.
It requires no labored argument to prove that
an arbitrary, tyrannical policy like this, is clear
ly in violation of the very fundamental principle
of our Government, and a monstrous usurpation
of power. The people see this and feel it. They
want the rebellion crushed, the war ended, and
the Union restored ; but they do not believe that
for the achievement of these ends, the sacrifice
of their own liberties and the perversion of our
Government from a protector of their dearest
rights into a harsh, lawless oppressor, is neces—
sary, or should be tolerated. Let us ask the sup—
porters of this injustice to look ahead two years,
and imagine the Democrats in power, and wen -
dell Phillips. dragged from his home at night,
and sent to Fort 'Warren by a Court Martial, for
words as seditious and treasonable as human lips
can utter; what would be the result? Would
there not be a howl all over the North against
the act, and an instant demand for his release?
But this is just what the men in power are pav—
ing the way for, and doing their utmost to pro—
voke. Are they struck with moral blindness,
that they cannot see that all these acts of arbi—
trary and usurped power, are but so many invi—
tations to a fearful retaliation? And if so, do
they not strike at the very root of civil liberty ?
Imagine the rights and liberties of the American
people placed at the mercy of each political party
that temporarily gains the control of the Gov—
ernment, and what a wretched condition we
would be in! Our Union, now so dear to the
great mass of the people, and for whose preser
vation they are willing to make almost any sac
rifice, would not be worth saving, for the free,
constitutional government it was intended to
protect and perpetuate, would be gone forever.

RETURN OF THE ItISTII REGIMENT.
A HEARTY WELCOME HOME!
The six Perks County Companies in the 128th
Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers, whose
term of service expired on the 12th inst., return
ed home on Thursday, and received' the heartfelt
greetings and welcome of our citizens. Early
in the morning, the buoy note of preparation was
heard, and before noon our streets presented
quite a gala.day appearance. From every pub
lic building, every workshop, and many private
residences, the " Stars and Stripes" were dis
played, and at various points, beautiful.bonners
hearing appropriate mottoes, floral devices, and
garlands of evergreens were hung across the
streets, Nosiness was in a great measure sus
pended, and every one—men, women and child
ren—engaged heartily in the duty of giving a
suitable welcome to the soldiers whose bravery
and devotion to their country were. nobly tested
on the bloody field of Antietam, and the still blood
ier heights of Fredericksburg. Although some
hearts were sad, amid the general feeling of joy,
at the thought of the loved ones killed in battle,
for whose return they would look in vain, and
oilers troubled with painful anxiety for the fate
of those who remain- prisoners in the hands of
the enemy, yet the prevailing feeling was one of
rejoicing that so many of our neighbors, kindred
and friends were spared from the ravages of war,
to come back to the enjoyment of the comforts
and endearments of home.
The ringing of the Court House bell at half
past 12 P. M., announced that the train contain
ing the soldiers had left Harrisburg, and was
the signal previously agreed upon for the as—
sembling of the escort, at the City Hall. At
about 2 o'clock, the procession was formed, un
der the direction of the Mayor, acting as Chief
Marshal, and marched thence out Third street,
to the crossing of the Lebanon Valley Rail
road iu the following order:
Band of Music.
City Councils and Clerks.
The Military.
(Two Companies State Militia.)
Band of Music.
The Fire Department.
Wm. Keen, Chief Marshal, and 9 Assistants
Rainbow, Friendship,
Junior, Liberty,
Reading Hose, Keystone,
Neversink, Washington,
Ringgold.
Citizens in Carriages and on Horseback.
About 4 o'clock, the firing of eannon announe•
ed the arrival of the train at Third street cross
ing, and amid the deafening hurrahs of the
assembled multitude, the soldiers left the cars,
and formed into ranks in the following order:
Company A, Capt. F. R. Schmucker.
Company B, Capt. Wm. McNeil.
Company E, Capt. Thos. M. Richards.
Company H, Capt. John Kennedy.
Company 1, (Capt. Jones's) Lieut. Harper corn.
Cowpony K, (Capt. Newhirk'e) Lieut. Obold COM.
Capt. McNeil, as the senior officer, took command.
Under the escort of the procession from the
city, they marched to the Cemetery, where the
soldiers entered, and with heads uncovered,
marched slowly around the grave of the lament—
ed Captain . Andrews, the Bands performing a
solemn dirge. This affecting tribute to - the
memory of a beloved comrade having been per
formed, the soldiers and their escort marched
into town, and after going over the route pre—
viously marked out, moved up Penn street to
the Agricultural Fair Grounds, which they reach
ed about a quarter before G o'clock. Here they
were again welcomed with loud cheering, firing
of cannon, and waving of handkerchiefs, and af
ter relieving themselves of their knapsacks, the
doors of the large Hall were thrown wide open,
and the city's honored guests marched in, and
took their places at the tables, while the Band
played the appropriate melody of Home, Sweet
Route !"
The Banquet Hall presented a beautiful sight.
The walls were handsomely decorated with the
national colors, and at the Northern end, just
below a mammoth flag, were the words " WEL
COME 128Tif !" in large lettere on a white ground,
Four tables extending the whole length of the
Hall, and capable of seating over 400 persons,
were bountifully laden 'Null meats of various
kinds, vegetables, pastry, and everything requi
site for a first-class meal.
The arrangement of the hlail and tables, un
der the direction of the joint committee of Coun
cils, was attended to by Messrs. Howard L. Mil
ler and D. F. Ermentrout, and was in the high
est degree creditable to their good management.
We must add, however, that they had the active
and valuable assistance of a number of ladies,
from the Ladies' Aid Association of Reading.
For refreshment, a plentiful supply of Lager
Beer and Ale was gratuitously provided by our
always liberal townsman, Frederick Lauer, Esq.
After an hour spent at the banquet, during
which the Bands played all the popular National
Melodies, and toasts were drank to Col. MAT
THEWS, Lieut. Colonel SMITH, Capin. NEWKIRK
and JONES, and the other absent comrades (who
are still prisoners at Richmond,) the soldiers
again shouldered their knapsacks, and marched
down town. After parading though the princi
pal streets, they halted in Centre Square, and
dismissed, each to receive the yet warmer and
more heart-felt welcome that awaited him from
" wife, children and friends " in the sacred pre
cincts of home.
The day will be long remembered by many
with joyous emotions. The reception was under
the exclusive management of the City Author
ities, and notwithstanding the discreditable ef
forts that were made in a certain quarter to
give it a partizan color, we are gratified to gay
that nothing of a political character was intro
duced at any stage of the proceedings, but all
passed off pleasantly and socially, as the whole
city's unalloyed tribute to the gallant patriot
soldiers who so nobly sustained her honor and
fame upon the field of battle.
THE $3OO EXEMPTION CLEESE.—There is a
conflict at Washington respecting the interpreta
tion of the $3OO clause in the National Enroll
ment Act. The Secretary of War has announced
that he had, concluded to construe the clause to
be permissive and not mandatory upon him, and
should ignore it. On the other hand Mr. Whit.
ing, Solicitor of the War Department, deems the
act mandatory upon the Secretary; and it is not
improbable, in view of its exceeding importance,
that the question may yet be referred to the At
torney General. Possibly, either in lied of such
reference or in addition to it, the several mem
bers of the Cabinet may be called upon to lay
their opinions in writing before the President.
It is understood that the views of the Attorney
General are diametrically opposed to those en
tertained by the Secretary of War, and that he
holds that the law obliges the Secretary to fix a
sum, by the payment of which, to properly ap
pointed persons, the drafted man may discharge
himself. The eventual determination of the
Government, under these circumstances is, of
course, a matter of uncertainty.

(7.nmisatotter—Jacob C Hoff.
Examining Phy.rieta . 76 - -Di. Peter G. Bertolette
As Mr. Hoff was Major Kopp's competitor for the prin
cipal appointment, It ie reasonable to suppose that the
'Present arrangement was intended as a compromise be
tween the rival aepiranta and their Mende. How the fac
tion that opposed Maj. Hupp relish it, we aro noeble to
say. That he should have soseeetted to carrying off the
prize In the face of the bitter fight that was made against
him by the Administration leaders here, is no small tri
umph; and we doubt not the Major feels a corresponding
degree of satisfaction in contemplating IL .
jar TRIBUTE TO A GALLANT OFFICER.—Gen.
Leary, who commanded the Second Division In the late
battle at Chancellorville, makes the following honorable
mention of a brave yonng Pennsylvanian In his official re.
pea;
"To Lieut. Mnhlenberg,
commanding the Artillery in the actions of the Ist, 2d and
3d inst., very great praise is due for the courage, calmness
and indomitable bravery with which hecunionded against
fearful odds before him, until every gunner was killed or
wounded at hie poet; nine horses were killed and his am
munition totally nbankted."
The officer alluded to, in Lieutenant Edward D. Mulalen
berg, late a resident of this city—a son of Dr. F.A. Huh
lenbeig, of Lancaster, and cousin to Dr. H. R. Mahlon
berg, of Reading. He left a profitable situation as con
tractor on the Don Pedro 11. Railroad, in Brazil, shortly
after the war ceinmaned, and came keine to off,ar hie
aerviens to his country. He was soon appointed a First
Lieutenant of Artillery, and has served in every battle
fought by the Army of the Potomac, first under McClellan,
and enbsognently under Burn Ade and Hooker, In all of
which he distinguished himself, as well for his personal
bravery, an for the coolneos with wialcla he 'stimulated the
courage of others.
)ea DESTRUCTIVN FIRFIS.-0110 Of the Wit
deetructivellres that has ever visited Reading, occurred
last Saturday afternoon, is Cherry alley, between Third
and Fourth street. It originated from a spark from the
Foundry of Levi K. Moore, which first set fire to the roof
of the frame stable of Mre. Amelia Ennentront ; the flames
soon spread to the adjoining buildings. and in a short time,
the whole row of frame stables on the North aide of the
Alley, with several frame dwellings, on bet., sides, and
the brick shop of Mr. John Brown, were entirely destroy
ed. A high wind. was blowing from the Smith at the time,
which carried the burning brands upon and over the
houses on Penn street, and fora time the destruction of the
whole block, from Housum's Hotel to Hard
ware Store, seemed imminent, as the roofs of ono or the
other were several times on fire. But, by the energetic and
valuable services of the Firemen (who worked heroically
fur over two hours), assisted by the citizens generally, the
progress of the flamee Li, tek..r« vo:ualole

tion 0'412,905,157, are eettmated at $23,249 25
Add dims appropriation, 1,792 SO
Total recolpto,
The Committee also offered the following resolution,
which, oa a call of the yeas and nays, was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That the tax on single freemen be one dollar ;
on trade., occupatione and professions, nine mills on the
lielleifiled value of the tame, but In no VIM to he lent than
one dollar; on salaries and emoluments of office, nine
mills per dollar on the assessed value of the same; and on
property, real, personal and mixed, eight mills per dollar.

$300; Miller & Dickinson. repairing. $1 00 ; and J. J.
Hessler, refitting shades, $2 00; all which were ordered
to be paid.
On motion, the Committee en Finance were authorized
to negotiate a temporary loan of lisiO3 to pay solaria, for
April.
The Visiting Committees of the several Wards made re
ports, but they contain nothing of special interest.
The Special Committee, appointed several months since,
to consider the expediency of reducing the number of
Grammar Schools and improving the Primaries ' made a
report, in which, while they express the opinion that the
redualen of the number of Grammar Schools toll Male and
3 Female, would elevate the character of these Schools by
retaining the pupils longer in the Secondary and Primary
Schools, and thus preventing the premature promotions
that are made in order to comply With a role of the Board
requiring 10 Scholars to be upon each Grammar School
Roll ; yet they do not feel warranted in recommending
each redaction, owing to the fact that even after the an
nual promotions to the High School, more pupils remain
in the Grammar Schools than could be accommodated in
the reduced number.
The Commutes further report that the greatly over
crowded conditioe of the Primary Schools renders new
buildings absolutely necessary. they therefore recom
mend that two new two story Primary School Houses be
built, large enough to accommodate a teacher and an as
sistant on each door, one I t o. the 6th, and one in the 3d
Ward.
On motion of Mr. McCauley. the report was received.
Mr. Hagerman then moved thatthe Committee on School
Property be Instructed to suggest sites and tarnish plans
end estimates for the erection of two Printery BeatiOl.
Buildings, one in the 5111, and oue in Sd Ward. The me.
Con was adopted.
Mr Knerr, from the Committee on revising Teachers'
Salaries, presented the following resolution:
itcoolterf, That the malaria. of the Teachers be the same
for ten months' Leeching as formerly for tea mouths end a
half, and that the Teachers receive the benefit of this reso
lution the present year or term.
Mr. Van Leer moved to amend, by making the salaries
of Prinripals• in Primaries and Assistants in Secondaries
Cti per month, and of Arclatents to Primaries $l4 per
mouth.
Air. Proee moved farther to amend, by striking ont that
portion of the resolution referring to the preterit year.
After cuneiderable (Becussion, on motion of Ur. Hahn,
the subject wag postponed tilt the next meeting of the
Board
Mr. Van Leer offered a series of resolutions of regret for
