Keep it before the People—Prophecy Fulfilled. "If these infernal fanatics and Ab olitionists ever get power in their hands, they will override the Consti tution, set the Supreme Court ut de fiance, change and make laws to suit themselves, lay violent hands on those who differ with them in their opinion, or dare question their infallibility ; and finally they will BANKRUPT THE COUNTRY, AND DELUGE IT WITH BLOOD."— Daniel Webster. IMPEACHMENT. —The impeachment farce is " still dragging its slow length along."— The rules upon which the trial is conduct ed are changed nearly every day—so that to-morrow may require an entirely different practice from to day. It was first deter mined that only two of the counsel upon each side should argue the case before this august tribunal, but now the rule has beer, so clanged that all the Managers can ar gue the case or file speeches to become part of the proceedings in this grand impeach ment farce. And again it is ruled that all the Senators—the jurors before whom this trial is conducted shall have the privilege of making speeches before judgment is pro nounced. Was ever the like heard of be fore in a court of justice ! The trial, it is predicted, will close about Friday next, and we will probably know by our next is sue whether we have a government or not. Bogus Registry Bill. We publish this week what was sup posed to be a true copy of the Registry law; but since our outside forms were printed, it has become a matter of doubt whether this is the original or a bogus act. On the day before the adjournment, Mr. Chalfant, a vigilant member from Montour county, created some excitement in the llousc, by exposing a most infa mous outrage —nothing less than the al teration of the Registry law, after it had passed the Legislature and before it was sent to the Governor, lie stated that the bill which the Governor signed and which had been declared a law had never passed the Legislature —it was an entirely differ ent bill. He moved fur a committee to investigate the fraud, and what is still more unblushing, the Radical majority of the House refused to have the matter in vestigated. Are the people to obey a law that was never legally enacted ? Let ns have the opinion of the Supreme Court on this matter. Let us know now whether any scoundrel can place a bill in the transcrib ing room of either branch of the Legisla ture and have it sent to the Governor without legislative action thereon. If this thing can be done, it is a more con venient way of getting legislation than we ever dreamed of.— Montrose Democrat. CAMERON AFTER FORNET. —On motion of Senator CUmeron, in the Senate on Wednesday last, the Committee on contin gent expenses were directed to inquire into and report the condition of the accounts of the Secretary of the Senate, John W, Forney. It seems that there is a deficien j cy of forty thousand dollars which the ac- I counts of Forney's financial -clerk, Mr. 1 Wagner, of Pennsylvania presents. Mr. Cameron on the lloor stated " he knew Mr. Wagner to be an honest, upright man," and the investigation was quite necessary ,to relieve Mr. Wagner of any unjust charges made against him. We are not at all surprised that a deficit in Forney's accounts should occur. Within a few years he lias accumulated a large fortune, j and he is known to be a man of extrava gant habits. Asa politician he is in the | market, as his letter to President Johnson : soliciting the appointment of a New York 'Collector fully demonstrates. His recent ! course as a correspondent to his papers, in poisoning the public mind and using ' every means and perjudicial course to su i born a verdict agaiust the President un der impeachment, is alone sufficient, to ! have the demagogue kicked out of his ! official station and an honest man replaced. fW Judge Woodward has introduced a bill to provide a method of bringing be fore the Supreme Court any law that may be passed over the President's veto, in or dcrto afford that tribunal an opportunity of deciding on its constitutionality. The Radicals had Grant's portrait printed off the head of their tickets in Connecticut, with a view to carrying the State by the aid of his popularity. The result was a handsome Democratic gain ! Thousands of birds dead from star vation, Massachusett papers • report, have been picked up in the western part of that State. The McArdle Case. It is proper that the people should thor oughly understand all the points in the Mc* Ardle case. It is of especial importance to publishers of newspapers, as the case is founded on an article published in a jour nal edited by McArdle, and the decision will, in part, involve the rights of the press, what these rights are, and to what extent our free institutions are to be preserved. From the National Intelligencer we gath er the following summary of Judge Black's argument: Mr. Black, in the commencement of his argument, briefly and pointedly 6tated the facts of the case. The petitioner, McArdle, was the editor of a paper in Vicksburg, Miss. As such he published an article in which, according to Mr. Black, he denounced certain public men and measures in terms somewhat Coarse, but not worse than those in which the political writers of the country aTe in the habit of indulging, for which " General Ord caused him, without any warrant, to be imprisoned, and, after having kept him for some time in custody, sent him before a board of officers, selected by himself from among bis subordinates." Mr. Black considers then, the several forms in which the military specifications treat the case: 1. It is charged to be a libel. But a libel, Mr. Black.shows, is an offense against the laws of Miss, alone, and there is no pretence that Gen. Ord, or his military cburt, were in Mississippi on any pretence of executing the laws of Mississippi. On the contrary, they denied the very exis tence of the State government and the va lidity of the State laws. Mr. Black calls attention to the fact that a libel is no of fense against the laws of the United States since the secession act was repealed in '6l. 2. The publication is charged as a breach of the peace. Mr. Black disposes of this charge with a few contemptuous words. The only breach of the peace was committed, he says, by General Ord, when he broke into the house of the relator and dragged him to prison. 3. It is charged as an intimidation to voters. To this Mr. Black most felicitous ly replies, that an election is going on, and the army drives one set of people to the polls, and drives anothei set away, but the petitioner, for exerting only the moral pow er which he wields by his newspaper, the moment he speaks above the bonds men's key, is dragged to prison. Mr Black most pertinently asks then, which party is guilty of intimidation ? 4. It is charged as hindering recon struction. To this Mr. Black says Con gress professes to leave the political action of this State to the people. Yet, not ex ercising this privilege, the petitioner for expressing his views, is considered guilty of a crime. Mr. Black sbowa that military men are not proper materials out of which to con stitute couits. Their education is to wor ship force. Military tribunals, he says, quoting Mr. Webster, are "organized to convict." Mr. Black, with great force, states the enormity of the action of Congress in its legislation under which McArdle was ar rested, when he contrasts it with the con dition North. He says : "In the Northern States the meanest man in the country cannot be made to suf fer the mildest punishment for the most trifling otfence unless he has first had a fair, open trial, according to the mode of the common law ; down there—in all that country from the Potomac to the Gulf— the best man or purest woman in it may be fined,imprisoned or hung without judge or jury. Our system is the American sys tem, with all the modern improvements ; theirs is the old Asiatic system, without one artticle of improvement from the days of Nimrod." Mr. Black then refers to the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the celebrated case of Milligan,in which the entire Court held that military Courts could not try civilians in time of peace or, as the Chief Justice said, "in time of peace the laws of peace must prevail." Southern Elections. The Constitution is doubtless defeated in Georgia, and a Democratic Governor elected. The Democrats claim to have elected five out of the seven Congressmen. Good for Georgia. In Louisiana the Constitution has been ratified by about 20,000 majority. The Senate and House are strongly radicals.— New Orleans is strongly Democratic. Governor lirownlow has postponed the elections in Tennessee, until November. Returns received from North Carolina indicate a very close vote on the Constitu tion, making its adoption doubtful. The election of (lovernor is also close. The majority for the Constitution in South Carolina is about 40,0(J0. 'I he great majority of votes in the Slate are negroes, so we mav expect to have some of the co - ored "breilren" sent to Congress. EXPLAIN*.—Why don't the Committee appointed to investigate the alleged $40,- 000 defalcation in the accounts of Forney, the Secretary of the Senate,make a report f Has "hush money" added to the weight of the Committee's pocket ? Tax payers and the people generally are highly interested in this little affair. If Forney will give us some information on this subject, we will let him off from one of his daily editorials on "Rebel Atrocities in Texas." Being a matter nearer home, he might give us more reliable information about it, than he does on Texas affairs. Come, sjeak, "D. D.'' This "agonizing delay" is unbearable. THE BANKRUPT ACT. —An amendment to the Bankrupt Act has been offered in the House of Representatives deferring the time for the operation of the 50 per cent qualification until June 18G9. This bill passed-the House Tuesday of last week and will probably be adopted by the Sen ate. OF Frederick Douglass, it is reported, intends to settle at Vinelaod, N. J. Loyal League Muaders. Owtr a White Man ! —The following is an extract from a letter dated Plymouth, N. C., April 10, 1808 : m " Times are very hard, and but little prospect of better. We have just had an other mutder here, but they have become of such common occurrence that wc think but little of them. Mr. George Nicholls was brutally murdered by a negro named Prince Walker, along the road between Mr. John Johnston's house and that of J Mr. Wilson Ambers. Mrs. Benjamin Norcon and Miss Mollie Ausbnrn were with George when the negro killed him. Ilis skull was broken in three places with a huge stick. The ladies succeeded in getting him home, bnt he died during the night. He was the most awful looking objtci I ever beheld- The negro did not leave home until the next evening, but no one attempted to trouble him. In truth, the negroes are not troubled, no matter what they do. The negroes say that Prince did right in killing Mr. N., or any other white man that bothers them. Mr. N.'s offense was asking the negro how far he was going. The negro making no re ply, Mr. N. stepped up to him and repeat ed the question, whereupon the negro pick ed up a stick or billet, and commenced beating liirn over the head until he ftll. The murderer then walked off as uncon cerned as though he had butchered a dog. You see what we have come to. The ne groes say that if the lands arc not given to them soon that they will fight for them.— This is the common talk among them. If you see any hope of better times, do let us know it." Democratic Victory in Chicago. A Chicago dispatch, dated Aprd 21, says: The election to-day for Judge and Clerk of the Recorder's Court, and one alderman from each ward, passed off quietly. About twenty-three thousand votes were polled. The Democratic ticket for judge and clerk is elected by a majori ty of five hundred. At the election last November, Osborne, the Radical candi | date for County Treasurer, received over j four thousand majority. The Council j stands twenty Republicans to twelve Dem- I ocrats. This shows a grand Democratic j gain of nearly 5,000. Good (or Chicago. The Ku Klux. When we first heard of this tremendous bloody organization, wc set it down as an invention of the mongrels for political purposes. We are convinced, now, that our first impressions were correct. All that we have heard about it has been through the mongrel press, and so much of it has j been so excessively on the Blue Beard style that there leaves no room to doubt of the origin and the object,—to create excite ment, horror, and give seeming cause for further depredations by Loyal League ne gi<? associations upon the white citizens of the South. As further evidence of this, we find some of the mongrel papers are printing ficti tious minutia of the order, oaths, signs, <fce manufactured in League Lodges. The Impeaciiebs. —Bingham, But ler, Logan and Stevens are the chief " Managers" of the Impeachment out rage. And a pretty set they are. But ler accuses Bingham of hanging an inno dent woman." Bingham accuses Butler of stealing spoons. Logan is accused ol having encouraged the secessionists to re bel, and of having induced men to enlist in the rtbel armies in the early stages of the rebellion. IBs is also accused of act ing as counsel for parties who have prac ticed enormous swindles on the Govern i ment. Stevens was the moving spirit in the treasonable and revolutionary pro ceedings in Pennsylvania thirty years ago, which occasioned the " Buckshot V\ ar." He is also guilty, by his own confession, of violating his oath to support the Con stitution of the United States. Such men are fitting instruments to prosecute the 1 impeachment mock trial. John Rubner a German Democrat, of Hartford, Connecticut, was too ill with rheumatism to walk to the polls at the late election, whereupon his wife (a no table helpmate, indeed,) took liirn upon her back and carried him up amid the cheers of the ciowd. A purse of s'2oo was made up for her on the spot. AGENTS WANTED FOR THE OFFICIAL HISTORY OF THE WAK, It* Causes. Character, Conduct and Results, By Hon. ALEXANDER 11, STEPHENS.
