TUE CASE.OF GEORGIA.
We were gratified to observe the state
ment, current a day or two since, that
the President had called upon the Attor
ney General for an opinion on the pres
ent political relations of the people of
Georgia to the Union. Here, we thought,
would be at once discovered some effec
tive method for dealing with the disor
derly condition of affairs in that State, so
that, at least, outrages should be checked
by the strong hand of some vigilant gov
ernment.. Deploring, as wealways have,
the interregnum which commits Georgia
to an anomalous position where an ille
gitimate, because not yet legitimated,
domestic authority is not respected, and
where the Federal power is held in abey
once, and practically unknown to her
people, we have always been equally
clear in the opinion that, under existing
legislation, the State V Geoeqia has never
been legally taken out of the proper overa
lion of the several acts providing a tempo
rary government for the rebel States, so
long as she Should fail to complete her
own restoration to the Union.
The discordant action of x the XLth
Congress was really an embarigsament to
that body alone. It was like any other
incomplete legislative action which, be
ing incomplete, must be counted as no
action whatever. The disagreement of
the two branches upon the question of
Georgian restoration worked a result ex-
actly the same as would a disagreement
upon any other measure within the scope
of their legislative discretion. It left the
case where ft was first found—unaltered
ill all particulars. Under•Pthe eonatita--
tional rights of the House to judge.of- the
qualifications of its Members, it hid com
mitted itself, by the admission of the State
delegation, to the same results in that re
gard a 4 if the entire restoration of. Georgia
had been recognized in all the forms of
legislation, ana by the sanction of all de
partments of the government. But
neither the Senate• nor the President did
concur formally in that sanction; the first
expressly declined to,do so,"and the sec
ond had no opportunity either to'approve
or veto any bill expreasive finally of the
Federal sanction. •
It is as difficult to perceive any substantiai
ground upon. whichthe people of Georgia
should be entitled, in this state of facts, to
claim their release from the operation of
the laws far their provisional government,
as it is to understand why the. Adminis
tration has hesitated so Ling, to deal with
a situation which no legal formality has
varied since those laws were first enacted.
Unless our government is to be adminis
tered with a tender regard for what shOuld
be the law, instead of for *hat actually is
and remains the unchanged law to this
hour, we are unable to appreciate the I
seeming reluctance of , the President to
„ ,
enforce that la* to its sharpest verge, and
with the;same color of authority now as
• •
in 1867. J,. 4
The attempt of the last Congress to
perfect, Georgian reconstruction was
failure. . Why is it not to be 50 regarded? 1 1
What perfected Federal recognition can
/her people dila, for their exemption from
the operatiori •f the existing laws for
their tempora ry governidentt, Had the
.
two Houses of Congress agreed' .In the
admissktn of. her delegatiens to member- I
ship, her cue would be otherwise. Had
both Houses also agreed; and with the
1 1
President's approval, in.the further deela
ration of her fully restored righta in the
Union, that would leave no room for
controversy now. But the record shows
nothing of either sort; it simply shows
that the effort for her reconstruction did"'
not succeed.
An 4, so, .by the plainest legal con- .1
sequence, the Federal statuiLof Gem:-
gift 113 the same as it would have been
with no such effort whatever..

1 Position of the Giorgiaiiii-now is a
mys
tery whiCh passes our c omprehensibn. If
the action of the last House --and that is
the only existing element for supporting
any doubts which have been raised—was
embarrassing to itself, the embarrassment
died • with it, for its successor,
the present 1 House, has * left the
Georgian applicants in the looby. And
the Senate , has again done the same. If
the last Congress disagreed upon this
question, the present Congress has not—
and the President can find nothing in the
action of either of them to restrain his
convictions of duty. If the last House
was a little too fast, the Georgians them
selves have been at faster, in setting the
wheels of their Sta government in mo
tion in advance of a perfected Federal sanc
tion—and it is high time that they should
,be checked in what is clearly an whims
!tion of State rights. l
Divested of misunderstandings, and
tripped of its false pretenses, this case of
Georgia is a plain one. We have only to
look at what it is, and not to what it
should be, rind there would be no diffi
'culty in discovering the Olin dufy of the
Adnunistiation in the premises. There
are, at plesent, indications that the case
is so regarded at Waehingtbn. When
this view shall be practically adopted, we f ,
shall once more see the existing laws en
forced
in Georgia, and her people brought
squarely up to the perception of how
much they have yet to do, for the re-es
tablishment of all their "practical

STLUBENVILLE LETTER.
Brilliant wedding and Receptlon—Fe
male Semlnary--Gazette agent.
[Perri suorulenee of the Pittsburgh Gazette.]
STEUBENVILLE, Ohio, June 9, 1869.
A must brilliant affair came off in this
place last evening. It was no less than the
celebration of a marriage, ceremony be
tween J. B. Dorrington,tEsq., Pittsburgh.
Citicimindi and St. Louis R. R., of Pitts
burgh, itho hats been long known as one
of the best railroad officials in the ooun
,
try, and a most energetic, tuicommodat
ing and accomplished gentleman, . and
Miss Agnes J. - MoDonald, one of the fair
est and most highly educated and refined
daughters of Steubenville.
The cereony was performed Revs.
A. M. Reid, m J. R. Kerr and John by
Doug:
las, in the First United Presbyte-
Church, the pulpit of which
rt l id i the furniture in the immediate
neighborhood were decorated most pro
fusely and tastily 'with flowers, the frit.
grance of which, as it diffused itself
through the large audience chamber, was
trulyrefrisahing. The church was well
filled with as brilliant an assemblage ofladies and gentlemen as we have seen
"for seine time, and, we may as well say
it here, gtenbeuville has sointthing to
boast of in, the matter of ladies. Whether
it is because they live beneath the shades
of the oldest Female Seminary west of
the mountains, we will not say, but, we
know that in petiteness of members:
gracefulness of movement, dignity of de
portment, ability in conversation and
skill and taste in the display ofciostumes,
they will compare favorably with any we
have met in any other place.
About half past nine o'clock the bride
and groom entered the church 'and took
a position immediately in front 'of the
pulpit. Wc never saw our friend Dor
rington more self -composed, or looking
better. Miss McDonald was' equally at
ease and dignified in. her bear/pg. She
was dressed moat beautifully, and, as all
the Mies testtileft with whom we have
had the pleasure of conversing, with
great chasteness, The ceremony did not
occupy five minutes in its performance,
and at its close the happy couple, with
out receiving any formal congratula
tionS, retired to the residence of the
bride's mother. '
The recePtion ceremonies commenced
at Mrs. McDonald's a little after ten
o'clock, and from that till Iwo in, the
'morning &constant stream of the elite of
the city kept pouring up and down the
'Stairways and through - the parlors.
Where all looked so charming and fasci
nating it might be considered: invidious
to particularize, but wek; know that we
will be pardOned when we say th 4.
Prominent among the gay and splendid
throng of Madames and Mademoiselles
were the beautiful, refined and acoom
plished'danghters of the Hon. T. L. Jew
ett, President of the P. C. & St. L.
R. R. Prominent among the railroad
officials we noticed our excellent friend
John Musgrave, Esq., of the C. & P. R.
R., and W. W. Cardi Esq., Superintend
ent of the P. C. & St. L. R. - R. Although
we have known Mr. Card well by repu
tation for some tinie, we never had the
pleasure of meeting him till last even
ing. ,Our expectations were more than'
realized. 'He is a thorough gentleman,
and his capactity for his preseat.' position
is evidenced sulticfently by, the " , ;yresent
excellent condition of the "'Pan andie
Road," of which he is the worthy Super
intendent. There could not, we think,
have bean less than between three and
four hundred persons present at the re
ception. We must refrain therefore from
farther personal notices.
With the exception of,the apartment
which contained the "bridal.presents,"
which were at once numerous, costly
and pseful, none were more:extensively
patronized than those in which refresh
ments were served.' Upon these we will
not dilate. Suttee it to say they have purveyors in- Stenhenville,, who knot*

Informations in rem were, filed in the

in the following cases:

United States vs. the distillery of Jim

United States vs. William . M cKim,
Wm. J. Friday and George W. Smith,
partners, doing business under the firm
name of McKim & Co. Action in ;debt,
to recover one thousand dollars penalty
for an alleged violation of the revenue
, law. The defendants are engaged in the
i ,
business of distilling, and, in Decamber
of last y e ar year started a new distillery
on Thir y-eighth street, this city, plans
and spenftications of which were pre
vious to starting the establishment,'
;sub
mined to the Revenue Department at
Washington, D. C., and approved. `The
distillery was put in operation on Christ
mas day, and about the first of February
the Supervisor of Internal Revenue vis
ited the establishment and found, as he
alleges, thdt the apparatus did not fill'
the requirements of the law. The regula
tions or the Department stipulate that the
apparatus shall be so constructed ai to
allow the government officers an oppor
tunity of detecting any fraud that might
be perpetrated or attempted, and pro
vides that the receiving cisterns; of
which there shall be two, shall be Rea
ted in a building provided for the express
purpose, and that the Uuited States
Gauger shall carry the'key of the same;
that they shall be constructed in such a
manner as
them being tap to prevent the possibility of
d and the spiits ab
stracted without p t he knowledge r of the
gauger. This regulation, it appearis, *as
fully compiled with, but the Supervisor
discovered, as he supposed, a violation
of the law in another part of the appa
ratus. The highwine tub which is situ
ated at the terminus of the still, and, is
used for the purpose of ascertaining the
qnantity and quality of the liquor, was
so constructed, that liquor might be sib
stracted before reaching the receiving cis
tern, that is it has an aperture at the top,
about 12 by 14 inches, which was made
for the purpose of having access to the
liquor to ascertain its quality. The de
fendants held that this was no infraction
of the law, that the law did not content
plate the construction of the appratus so
that spirits could not be abstracted, but
that itphould be so constructed and alto ;
ated that by proper vigilance the revenue
officers,the storekeeper and guager,would
be enabled to detect any attempted fraud.
The plaintiff held that it was a violatiott
of the law t • but did not .charge the de
fendants with fraud, or •an attempt to
Perpetrate frau but merely with a vie
ta of one or th e provisions of the law
made to prevent fraud.
The case was opened by District Atl- ,
tornoy Carnahan on behaltof the United
States, and defendants were represented
by David Reed and A. - M. Brown, Esqs:
Alex. P. Tcitlen, sworn:-.1 . am Supervi
sor or Internal Revenue; have been since
November, '63; visited the distillery of
McKim it Co. in the early part of Feb:
ruary. The distillery is situated in this;
city on the Allegheny river. The dis-'
finery was in operation; I found at the'
outlet of the worm two cisterns, the;
high-wine and low-wine tubs, into which
they run the spirits; the highwine tub;
had an opening in the top ten by twelve
inches, allowing free access to the spirits;
manufactured before it reached the cis
tern; by attaching a hose at this opening
all the spirits; could be taken away before
it reached tits Cistern. room; it was not
only possible but an easy manner to; take
1 away all the spirits before it reached the
'champ; there were pipes connecting this
tub with the cistern; the cistern room is
aboutftwenty-ftve feet from the highwine
tub; I do not , know bow long the beendistil-,
tory has running. Mr. McKim was
present when 1 inspected the premises.
Cross.examined--I was there in the
1 early part of February, in the afternoon.
Mr. McKim went through the building 1
with Me. There was astorekeeper there ,
also. It Is customary to keep a store-
keeper present all the time the distillery
is running. Mr. McKim said he could
not run the,dlstillery with the aperture
referred to open. Ido •net know that it
is necessary to have a hole of that kind.
There are cocks attached to the pipes of
all distillezies; the liquors might be ex
tracted by unscrewing the cock; or it
might be done by drilling a hole in nit
highwine It was not necessary to have a
g tub at this distillery; most or
all distilleries have low wine tubs, but a
very few have 'highwine tubs; they ran
their highwines direct to the cistern
room. I think in thiaCongreasional dia
-1 trictthe distilleries all have highwine
tubs. I have not visited over fifteen or
twenty distilleries In the district. I don't
know of any liquor having been exl ,
tracted fi opt the aperture described.
Chris, flan Leazure, sworn.—l am Clerk
for the Supervisor of Internal Revenue.
I visited McKim dt Co.'s distillery about
the sth of February wish Mr. Totten.
I think the distillery is on Thirty-eighth
street. I foiind an opening between the
end of the worm and the receiving cis
tern, in the highwlne tub; the tub was '''a
large copper vessel, and had an opening
about one• foot spire. The worm con
nected with this tub. This highwine
tub was about one or ,two fest from the
worm tub.t The cistern was idwer than
the so that the spirits would ran di
rectly from the worm to the cistern.
The aperture was such as to allow act
easel° the irits before the reached
the receiving sp
room. I visited t he eaten
lishinent in January, and found Mr. lido.,
Kim there bothftitnes, and the distillery
in operation both times. I think the
liquor was running from the worm
when we were there. The distillery was
in operation.
Cross-examined —lt is custonnirii;!
.to have a highwine tub, ' and
where the spirits are separated as they
are at this inatillery,lt is necessary to
;have a man to watch the high wine tub,
;and turn off 'the rlowwlnes. • I think at
my tint visit that there was an artificial
light, so as to tell she quality of the
liquor.
The testimony for the plaintiff heie
closed. • ' , ?.
David Reed; Esq.. opened the Mule - for
defendants. He held that if this opening'
had been made by defendants for 'the
purpose of defrauding the GoveinMent

managing partner. lam a practical dis
tiller. The,distillery was erected under
my supervision. ( Witness here gave a
detailed description of the construction
of the aparatus and the process of menu
factaring whisky.) He stated further:
That at the terminus of the worm there
was a “three way cook," by means of.
Which the liquor could be thrown into
either the highwine or lowwiae tub.
The highwine tub was a second hand
one. It had a hole in the top twelve by
fourteen inches, over which it was in
tended to place a glass plate through
which the whisky could be seen. He ed
te run the distillery at first with
the glass on, but owing to the quantity of
steam tie apparatus would not work
right and the plate had to be taken off.
The highwines passed from the tub
through'a step cock into a pipe, then to
the received room, in which are two re
ceiving cisterns. These cisterns are
erected in a room built for the purpose,
in accordance with the law. Mr. Totten,
I think,, did not go into the cistern room.
The apparatus was inspected by the Col .
lector, Assessor, and 'the former Stir . -
veyor. There was a Storekeeper at the
distillery all the time we were running.
The Storekeepers are 'appointed by the .
Government, but the distiller is taxed to
pay him.. When we run at night there
was a night Storekeeper present. Whis
key might be extracted from the tub
either with the glass on or off. Mr.
Shannon and my son had 'charge of the
high and low wide tubs, and it was their
duty to turn off the low wines. The
Storekeiper's office wasin the distillery, '
opposite the highwine - tub. The open.
ing referred to was in full view of per
sons passing near the tub. It Was on
top of the tub. The highwine tub is for
the purpose of retaining the whiskey to
ascertain the quantity and quality, I
never saw a distillery without a high
wine tub for making rye and corn whis
ky.
° Cross-examined -1- The store-keeper
keeps the keys of the bonded warehouse.
The United States Gauger keeps the keys
of the receiving room, and we have no
access to it except when admitted by him..
The plans were approved by the Revenue
Department at" Washington.
'Samuel Shannon sworn—l was beer
runner at McKim & Co's distillery; I
ran the high And lowwine tubs; my, place
was near them all the time; there was a
difficult in the worki of the paratu
on account of the mash ng

highwlne tub,and spoiling the highwines.
lam still employed at the distillery.
Mr. Samuel McKim was employed with
me. The glass plate -was off the aper
ture about three weeks; it was afterwards
put on and sealed with sealing wax.
This was after the new still was put in.
It was put on in the latter part of Febru.
.ary.
muel McKim sworn-1 atn a son of
Wm. McKim andtwgs euiployed in the
distillery; it was inrduty to watch the
proof of the wiskey and see that it. was
running right. There was a difficulty
when we first started, on account of the
mash being throws np and rising into
the bigliwines. The glass was put on
about the 10th of February, after the
new still was put in.
The testimony hero closed.
' Mr. Reed opened the argument to the
Court and jury on the part of defendants.
He held that the law or section of the
law tinder which this action was brought,
does not contemplate the, construction of
.the apparatus, so that liquor could not be
obstracted, but so that it could not be
smuggled out without the knowledge of
the government officsrs.
At 'the conclusion of Mr. Reed's argn
'ment the Court adjourned. and the case
will be argued before the jury Thursday

THE TRUSS. •

laced or Incarcerated, a cendith.n of alwass more
or less danger, and requiring. In most cases, a
erygical operation before the Intestines can be
restored to their proper position. When not
strangulated primarily, ruptures are liable to be
come so by accident or neglect, hence, the nem.
sity of tresses to keep the intestines In theirprop--
er place, and if possible to cure the disease by
closing the . opening through which the bowels
protruded. In times put trusses have been. re
garded as palliative remedies rather the ..- the .

however, - of this city, who has devoted a great
deal "of thought and rellectioi to the
subject of hernia., and besides has bad '
