In the 9th, 16th and 19th chapters of the second book of Samuel, we read of a ser vant of the house of Saul whose name was Ziba. In the same portion of scripture oc curs the history of Mepliibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, King David, for the love he bore Jonathan, gave to Mepliibosheth "all that pertained to Said and his house," and said unto Ziba, "Thou, therefore, and thy sous, and thy servants, shall till the land for him (Mepliibosheth) and thou shalt bring in the fruits, that thy master's son may have food to eat : but Mepliibosheth, thy master's sou, shall eat bread always at mv table." Ziba's reply was, "According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant do." Now, Mepliibosheth was "lame on his feet," and when David fled from Jerusalem during the rebellion of Ab salom, Mepliibosheth, though remaining loyal to David, could not accompanny the hitter in hi* flight, on account of his lame ness. When the king came to the top of Mt. Olivet, lie was met by Ziba, "with a •ouple of asses saddled, and upon them two nundred loaves of bread, and a hundred bunches of raisins, and a hundred of sum mer fruits, and a bottle of wine." These were meant by Ziba as presents to the king and his household in order to propitiate their favor. Then King David said unto him, "And where is thy master's son ?" "And Ziba said unto the king, Behold he abideth at Jerusalem : for he said, to-day shall the house of Israel restore me the Kingdom of my father;" "Then, said the King to Ziba, Behold thine are all that per tained unto Mepliibosheth." But after the great battle in the wood of Ephraim, in which Absalom was slain, Mepliibosheth went to meet the King, when the latter said unto the former, "Wherefore wentest not thou with me, Mepliibosheth ?" "And he answered, My lord, O king, my servant de ceived me : for thy servant said, I will sad dle me an ass, that I may ride thereon, and go to the King'; because thy servant is lame." But Ziba, the servant, had taken all the asses away, and Mepliibosheth could not go with the King. History repeats itself, and the episode in the Bible narative of the reign of King Da vid, is not an exception to the rule. There is a Ziba and there is a Mepliibosheth in this latter halt of the nineteenth. The par allel may not hold good in every particular. But in the main it is quite perceptible. There is a Ziba in the pasters' and folders' room at thecapitol, who managed to euchre lame Mepliibosheth by the name of Schind ler, out of the place designed for him by the king of the executive department and his counselors. Whether the modern Ziba brought presents of asses, Ac., to ingratiate himself with the powers that IK*, we know not, but when a man who has heen a mem ber of the legislature liecomes a paster and folder, at least one ass is presented for the use of members.— Patriot. Hajflt is rumored that President John son has under conideration the pardon of Dr. Mudd, Spangler and Arnold, the three remaining victims of the military commis sion which unjustly condemned Mrs, Sur ratt to death. Siuce 1865, these victims of blind popular rage, have lingered in an un wholesome fortress of the United States, at he Dry Tortugas. The candid reading of he testimony in the trial o * the conspira tors can find nothing which makes these •aen worthy of death or bonds. The mili tary commission, with the brutal Hunter at its head, represented nothing more than popular rage thirsting for a victim. There was no regard for law or evidence on the part of prevaricating military judges. Mrs. Surratt was hanged in the face of the clear est proofs of her innocence, and Dr. Mudd md his associates in misfortune were con lemed to imprisonment because their un just judge could find no plausible pretext for putting them to death. It is to be hoped that President Johnson will exercise his power in behalf of these prisoners at the Dry Tortugas at the earliest possible lay. Every hour that they remain in con finement only increases the foul injustice of the original act.— Morning Patriot. tap" A desperado recently appeared in Montgomery, Texas, and in a short time made himself odious to the citizens by liis quarrelsome disposition. One day last week he rode liis horse into the store Messrs. Smith A Peal, and on being or dered out he drew his pistol, but liefore he could fire it he was tired upon by Mr. Smith or Mr. Peal until a double-barrel shot gun. Although badly wounded, he ran out into the street, and by some fatality, met a par ty of citizens who were hunting him for the purpose of causing his arrest for passing counterfeit money. He ran in another di rection, when some one in the party fired upon him and he fell. A Mr. Oliver and two brothers named McGrew, (who it seems, were in the habit of associating with the desperado), ran up to his rescue with pistoLs drawn, when they were fired upon by the crowd and all three killed.

The President sent in the following on Monday of last week : To the Senate of the United States : The resolution adopted on the sth instant, re questing the President to transmit to the Senate a copy of any proclamation of au nestv made by him since the adjournment of Congress, and also to communicate to the Senate by what authority of law the same was made, has been received. I accordingly transmit herewith a copy of a proclamation, dated Dec. 25, 1868. The authority of law by which it was made is set forth in the proclamation itself, which expressly affirms that it was issued by virtue of the power and authority in me vested by the Constitution, and in the name of the sovereign people of the United States and proclaims and declares unconditionally and without reservation, to all and every person, who directly participated in the late insurrection or rebellion, a full pardon and aunestv for the offence of treason against the United States, or of adhering to their enemies during the late civil law, with restoration of all rights, privileges and im munities under the Constitution and the laws which have been made in pursuance thereof. The Federal Constitution is un derstood to be and is regarded by the Ex ecutive as the supreme law of the land.— The second section of article second of that instrument provides that the President shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offences against the United States, ex cept in cases of imi>eaehment. The procla mation of Dec. 25, 1868, is strictly in ac cordance with the judicial expositions ot the authority thus conferred upon the Ex ecutive, and, as will lie seen with rererence to the accompanying papers, is in confor mity with the precedent established by Washington W 1795, and followed by Pres idents Adams in 1800, Madison in 1815, and Lincoln in 1868, and by the present Executive in 1865, 1867 and 1868. ANDUEW JOHNSON. Accompanying tliis message, the Presi dent sent copies of similar proclamations by Presidents Washington, Adams, Madi son and Lincoln, with liis own proclama tions of May 20th. 1865 and September 7th 1867. A bill has lx?en introduced into the Senate of Pennsylvania, to take the con trol of the Police force of Philadelphia from the Mayor and vest it in a board of Police commissioners to l>e elected by the people. This is a new Radical trick to control the police force for parti/.an purposes, as has been done for several years. The people at the polls, last fall, decided that Daniel M. Fox should control Philadelphia for the next three years as the chief executive officer. But he is hardly sworn into office when the Legislature goes to work to de prive him of his most material function.^. — In this way they seek to defeat the will of the people and perjietuate themselves in power. The bill also takes from the Sher iff all power as peace officer Legislative Swindling. The Scran ton Morning Republican recent ly made the following expose of Legislative swindling : "It is said that the folding, pasting and wrapping of the Legislative Record and doc uments of the House of Representatives at Harrisburg last session was performed by fifty men at a cost of about forty thousand dollars. Messrs. Rauch & Cochran, of Lancaster, publishers of Father Abraham, propose to do the same work at the next session for fivo thousand dollars. They will give bonds in the a tin of twenty thous and dollars for the faithful performance of the contract. Roth gentlemen have been at Harrisburg of late years, and understand what they are about. The members of the House certainly cannot ign9re tlris oppor tunity to save the State the nice little sum of thirty-five thousand dollars. Messrs. Rauch choose their Governor. Their verdict will be greatly influenced, if not decided, by the course of the party in power this winter. If from *15,000 to 850,000 are to be squandered again in a single session in mailing public documents ;if the United States Senator ship is to be made a matter of bargain and sale; if the publication of the Legislative Record is to be continued as heretofore at the convenience, and for the sole profit and advantage of a party at Harrisburg, and without reference to the accommodation of the public ; if the old system of plunder and extravagance is to l>e pursued, the party that countenances such corruption will enter the campaign at a disadvantage, which may not unlikely prove fatal. Let the Republican pres of this State manfully ventilate this whole subject; if the ])eople are thoroughly aroused to the matter their representatives may think it worth while to seriously entertain proposi tionsfor reform. Thereis said to bea mod icum of honor among thieves, and we may yet hope to sj>eak of honesty at Harrisburg without exciting the risibles of our read ers." SINGULAR CASE. —Carrie Feister, a little daughter of Reulien Feister, of this Borough when but 7 months old, swallowed a diaper pin. No one was present when she swal lowed it, but the faet that the pin was miss ing and the child was seized with choking spells and for twelve hours remained in a critical condition, left no doubt on the minds of the family as to what had become of the pin. She, however, partially recov ered at the time, but from that time until the present her health has been delicate.— At intervals she has been quite sick, cough ing and throwing up considerable corrup tion. During the past summer it was thought that the child had gone into consumption, and so ill that her recovery was regarded as next to impossible. She rallied again, how ever, and although far from well, was able to be about. On Sunday, Dec. 27th, last, she was seized with a violent fit of coughing which lasted for some time. Finally she suddenly put her fingers into her mouth and drew forth the missing pin. The pin is about two inches in length, with a head 5-16 of an inch long and fg of an inch in circumference. It is black with rust and when coughed up was covered with corrup tion, Carrie is now nearly 9 years old, so that this pin has been embedded in her lungs (as it is behoved) about 8 years and 4 months, all this time abscesses forming and breaking, and rendering her life miser able. We are glad to add that since its re moval her health has l>een materially im proved. She is an interesting little girl, and it is to be hoped that after so much suf fering she may soon be restored to health. —Muncy Luminary. RELIEF FOB MRS. LINCOLN. —A lull has been introduced into the United Slates Senate, the object of which is to afford re lief to Mrs. Abraham Lincoln, who failed to make money out of the sale of the rich garments which was presented to her by army contractors and others who sought thus to curry favor with her husband. It is proposed by this bill to pension Mrs. L. as the widow of the Commander-in-Chief, he, by some legal fiction, being supposed to have been killed in battle. Upon such reasoning Congress might patriotically de termine to provision the White House by ordering rations for President Grant, and increase his salary to an extent by allow ing him to draw money in commutations for the rations. The skill with which the Radicals devise ways and means for deple ting the treausry is really remarkable.—lf they want to give Mrs. Lincoln five thous and dollars a year, let them vote it straight out, without resorting to any silly subter fuge. toy The Louisiana negro, Menard, was not admitted to liis seat in Congress and has left for home in a state of disgust. It has been ascertained he was nothing but a carpet-bagger from Illinois, and had for merly been engaged in the Jamaica massa cres, repressed with much severity by the British government.
