Bankruptcy.—Edward Overton, Esq., Register
in Bankruptcy for this District is now holding a court
it this place. Our people find in him a most accom
plished and accommodating officer.
Applications for Licenses were not considered
at this term of Court, by reason of the tact that the
prohibitory law was repealed at a date too late to
ellow time for publication. An adjourned or special
oourt, to consider applications, will be held oa May
14th lPfiS.
The C ourt held here this week, was for various
reasons, a "slim affair" so far as trial of causes are
concerned. No ctiminal, and but one civil cause
was tried. We have not time to give proceedings in
this iesue
April has lost none of its ancient renown for
"sunshine and showers." especially showers, as the
sticky condition <of our roads surely attest. The mud
in our streets has sticking qualities which is said
<o b* almost as cohesive as th* •' sticking propensi
\ies of the redoubtable Stanton, who is reported to
" stick'' closer to War Office than "death to a dead
nigger."
Fortunes,—" There is a tide in the affairs of
men which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune
at least so says the ]>oet, and we have no disposition
to gainsay it, and those who wi-h to avail themselves
of its " very wise and salutary provisions," according
to legal parlance ; of this propitious current in the
" affairs of men," will repair at once to the Store
of Bunnell A Bannstyne, before it is too late —any
time during the next seven or eight days and se
cure that f.jr owe which is in '' store" for them, by
buying gofflfc at CoSt" —cheaper than can now be
bought in the New York market Th? cause of these
unprecedented low prices is that they are sellir g
out to " close business."
An Attempt to Burn the Court House with

contents of A bottle of kerosene OH the hemp matting
or carpet of the Hall on the inside of the inside
doors, after which the match was applied. A portion
of the door-sill sn.l door wero found considerably
turned and charred Al-out two feet square of the car- i

Democratic Meeting.- -Pursuant to notice a
Tieinocrntic M iss Meeting was held at the Court j
House on Monday evening last. Notwithstmdirg '
the unfavoralletiess of the weather the House was
well filled and a deep interest manifested in the pro
ceedings of the meeting. The people evidently feel
a very deep interest in the momentous questions
that now agitate the public mind, and an eagerness
to hear them discussed on nil public occasions is
inanitrrte t by their very general attendance.
The meeting was called to order by Hon. Wm M.
Piatt, President of the "Central Democratic Club
of Wyoming County," an 1 on account of the absence
of other speakers, ho entertained the auditory for an ;
hour or more 111 his usually felicitous style. He ex
amined and laid bare the impeachment farce ot
the mongrel Congress for the purpose <d deposing
the President of the United States, that they may
usurp the Executive power, as well as all other pow ;
ers of the general government, and erect a central- i
iied legislative despotism upon the ruins of a once
Republican Government. Ho argued that the man
ner in which the President was being tried was con
trary to all forms in Courts of Ju-tice. That the
presiding Chief Justice haJ been overruled by a par
tisan .Senate on most of the legal questions he was
called upon to decide Never before in the history
of jurisprudence has a presiding Judge been called
upon to retire to a private room with the Jury for
consultation ether UP n • law or facts in a case
Never before has an interests I party like Benjamin
y. Wade hero allowed to sit in judgment upon
the accused, whose conviction would give to that
party promotion and power
The appointment of Adjutant Genera* Thomas as
Secretary of War by President Johnson was no vio
lation of law—only availing himseif of a Constitu
tional prerogative which all his predecessors had ex
ercised from Washington down to Lincoln—and for
this he is to be impeached It W;is impossible to do
justice to this subject. He found himself very much
in the predicament of the man —a very profane man
who while drawing a load of apples up ahili found
on arriving near the summit taut he had lost most
of fhetn, which lay scattered along the highway.
Turning round he discovered an army of boys had
been following him, expecting to hear so.ee •• tall
swearing," as he expressed it, and thus ad dressed
them : " Boys, yqu Deed not follow any further -
there wiil be no swearing h re to-day—language
cannot do justice to the subjoct."
The ordinances of secession were illegal and void
and did not take States out of the Union, and it was
•o held by all parties during the stiuggle tor
the existence of the Union. And to confirm this doc
trine Congress by unanimous resolution declared that
the war was not waged for purposes of conquest or
subjugation, but to assert tbe authority of the Fed
eral government and put dowu armed resistance
thereto, aud when these objects were accomplished
the war should cease, leaving the integrity and sov
ereignty of the States unimpaired. But a new doc
trine nas been promulgated " since armed re
sistance to the Federal authority was put down '
the doctrine that States are out of the I n on through
illegal and void secession ordinances. Beautiful
consistency 1 hut in perfect keeping and hsrtnony
with tb* ects of the Radical party DOW in control of
the governuisnt. Their waning fortunes admonish
them that something must tie done or their party
ascendancy will be gone. So the Rump Congiess
usurps the authority of State governments and es
tablish the doctrine of negro supremacy White
men are disfranchised and "niggers" enfrvnctuscJ
for tbe purpose of giving political control to the
Radical party. A " Freedtnen's Bureau," at an ex
pense of nearly eighty million* of dollar* (p Nor
thern tax-payers, is kept up to support these igno
rant, lazy, thievish ' toil nigs," that they may "lord
it" over white men, and help retain in power a party
•o corrupt and devoid of principle that it is drop
ping to pieeea from ita own rottenness and corruption.
It would rob the nation of its birth-right for a mess
of pottage and destroy civil liberty throughout the
land to perpetuate their inglorious partisan career.
The oext any bp the last free election which will
ever be held in this country if the Radical party
should again be successful. The Tribune thinks
den. Grant's will should be law—and hence recom
mends the impeachment of the President because
Grant has expressed a wish that it should be so.—
We hare fallen upon evil times when the will of one
man is to become the law of this nation—and that
mgn a proven notorious liar—false to those who re
posed confidence in him. Ah, treachery ! the lurking
bane of society !-his nature is filled with its com
ponent parts
" Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." Let
Democrats organize throughout the country and vio
tory will perch upon their banners.
On motion the meeting odjourned.

Testimony of Mr. PETER SHAW.
West Winfield, N Y., Dec 10, '6O
Messrs 6. Fowle A son, Boston.
Gentlemen —During the winter of 1859 I was very
much out of health, afflicted with a severe Cough,
! Pain in the Side and Lungs anJ a general depres
! siou ot health to such an extent as greatly to alarm
! myself and friends a# to the result During this
time I tiied several highly recommended remedies
' with little or no good result, and had concluded to
try the effect of a Southern climate upon my health:
bu', before carrying this resolution into effect, I was
induced by tho urgent solicitation of your agent, Mr.
i Huntley, to give Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry trial I did so, and to my great joy found
imloeiliatc and permanent relief by the use of only
one bottle, and I sio now in as good health as ever.
