rOIttPtlESIDENT IN 1861,
GEORGE B.M'CLELLAN
( Putiject to llio Decision of the Democratic National
Convention. )
Tlio Consoription Act.
Wo publish to-day the decision of tho
Buprcmo Court of Pennsylvania, delivered
bj Chief Juttico Walter II. Lowrie,
assorting tho unconstitutionality of tho
Consoription Act. Tho subject boing ono
of intense intorcst, will oommond itself to
tho attention of tho publio, and it will bo
n gratoful relief from tho doubts and per
plexities that have boon ongondored by tho
enforcement of tho act, to have the enigma
solved, and tho wholo matter sifted and
thoroughly analyzed by a oompetent judi
ml tribunal. Ot courso, tho vials of
Radical wrath will ba opened upon Judges
Lowrie, WooDWAnn and Thompson for
expounding tho law according to their con
scientious interpretation, and not in accor
dance with tho wishos of a faction.
Tho Philadelphia Press, as usual, is
foremost in tho application of abuse. It
suggests that tho decision is tho result of
the spleen and vindictivencks of the Judges
in their disappointment at political defeat
How this gravoohatgo can apply to Judge
Thompson, who was not a candidate,, the
ingenuity of tho Press, perhaps, can ex-
plain.
The Justices of tho Supremo Court of
Pennsylvania havo enjoyed a reputation as
learned and upright officials. They havo
disoharged tho responsible duties of their
position to tho satisfaction of their fellow
citizens, and till now roproaoh has not
visited them, nor accusation of official dis
nonescy sumea tnoir namo3. Jiut ono
decision that runs counter to tho Radical
desire is sufficient, it seems, to blast the
well wen honors of a long career of use
fulness and integrity. They arc dishonest
Judges, forsooth, because they oannot bo
bought nor intimidated into complianco
vith tho Radical will. They have ad
judged falsely, becauso they have not
prostituted their high calling to the uses of
tyranny and fanaticism. Such is the
reasoning of tho Administration organs,
who make it a point to villify every Judgo
that does not adopt their theories upon all
questions, and to laud extravagantly and
quoto as patterns of judicial worth all
those that reflect from tho Bench tho ideas
of their faction;
However much tho opinions of Adminis
tration organs may bo at variance with
thoso of our constituted tribunals, wo trust
that all parties will accept tho law as in
terpreted by its ligitimato expounders.
There may bo no penalty for insult, but
thero is for violation of the law, and that
penalty will attach to the highest in au
thority as well as to the humblest citizen.
Tho Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has
declared that certain citizens of this State
have been deprived of liberty, placed un
der military restraint, and subjected to
great privation, suffering and danger, by
a process which the Constitution forbids.
If tho Administration havo erred through
ignorance, now let them rectify tho error.
They havo no claim upon tho Pennsylva
nia conscripts in the field ; it is not wo that
say so, but tho Supremo Court of Penn
sylvania. If the predicament is perplex
ing, it gives our rulers occasion to reflect
upon tho advisability of adhering closely
to those principles which have heretofore
govornod in the Republic, and of enforcing
no harsh measurss of doubtful legality
without due investigation by oompctont
tribunals.
Andino Views.
0. Farrand.an artist of Now York, who
has travelled extensively in South America,
will be at Bloomsburg for so mo days. He
will exhibit views in tho Court House, on
one or two evening, among them several
dozen of Scenory in tho Andes and of
Spanish Amerioan cities, whieh will in
terest and instruct whatever audicnoo may
attend. Mr. F. has also othor American
views and many fino European ones, and
views of oelebratcd piooes of Statuary.
Persons who do not reeido in town, and
desire to see Mr. Farrand's views can at
tend on next Monday evening. Tho pic
tures aro represented mora than 12 foct in
size, and aro splendid. The several dozon
of South Amerioan ones are entirely Lew

Three Crops in one Season I We havo

Syberian Orabs,being tho third crop grown
on a Trco in our yard during tho past

were ripo crabs and blossoms growing to

third crop of ripo Fruit. Wo think this
an unusual ocouronoo.

Tho supremo Court, of this Stato, in n
caio brought bolora tho Court by separate
opinions of Judges Lowrio, Woodward
and Thompson, composing a majority of
tho Conrt, has boon decided to bo uncon
stitutional and void.
Judgo Woodward, in his opinion,which
is most convincing, and whioh wo will
endeavor to givo in full next week, says :
"I do not thcrcforo, feel the forco of tho

To placo ourselves under despotic sway in
order to bring back Robels to tho Constitu
tion we havo given up is a procedure that
porplexcs tho student of tho political sci
ence, and will quito confound tho historian
oi our limes,
''Thero aro other features of tho Con
sript law that doccrvc criticism, but, not to
extond my opinion farther, I rest my ob
jections to its constitutionality on these
grounds :
"1st. That tho power of Congress to
raise and support armies, docs not include
tho power to draft the militia of the State.
"ad. That the power of Congress to call
forth tho militia cannot bo exercised in the
forms of this enactment.
''3d. That a citizen of Pennsylvania
cannot be subjeotod to tho rules and arti
cles of war until ho ho is in actual mili
tary service.
"'1th. That he is not placed in suoh ac
tual jervice when his namo has been drawn
from, a wheel and ten days' notice thereof
has been served upon him
"For thoso reason I am for granting the
lnjunouon.
This is the law and Constitution as we
have always supposed, but what attention
will bo paid to this authorativo declaration
of laWi by t he ''Powers that be," in these
days of lawlessness and arbitrary rulo, ro
mains to be seen.

Military Despotism.
Gen. Schencii, in his last official mil
itary aot in Maryland, ordered the Pro
vost Marshals in tho Stato to tako part in
superintending tho election on Wednes
day week. Gov. Bradford, whoso 1 yal
ty wo prosume no man questions, pro
tested against tho outrage and issued a
proclamation declaring that the unrcstrio
ted liberty of thc citizens' right to voto
shall prevail, even if tho power of tho
State be oalled on. Gen. Schenck order
ed thc Baltimoro papers not to publish it,
and the proclamation had to bb issuod in
pamphlet form.
tST A coramitteo of tho Vermont Leg
islature, to which was rofcrred a bill giv
ing thc soldiers tho privilege of voting
while absent from the State, has reported
that such an act would be inviolation of
the Stato constitution, Republican.
Abolitionism is so largely in tho ascen
dant in that benighted region that tho
soldiers' votes aro not needed. Henco it
is not ''constitutional" to givo them "the
privilege of voting whilo absent from the
Stato." In Pennsylvania, our Abolition
ists say it not right to deprivo them of this
"pnvilego.'

My Dear Sir:
On Saturday tho 7th inst., tho different
Corps composing tho Army of tho Poto
mac took up their lino of maroh for tho
Rappahannock. Tho wind blno tho dust
in such olouds that it was almost impossi
ble to sco. Tho 5th and Oth Corps form
ed tho right of our line undor command of
Gen. Sodgwick, and tho 1st 2nd and 3d
formed tho loft under command o( Gen.
French. Near sunset tho difforont Corps
reached tho river. The Oth halted at Rap
pahannock Station, and ovcry ono sup
posed it would attack tho enemy next
morning in their entrenchments. Tho en
emy had tho same opinion, thcrcforo id
not poit their pickets moro than CO yards
in front of tho earthworks. But Scdg-1
wioh wanted tho works that night, and
accordingly sent over a detachment to tako
them. Not a gun was fired by tho ad
vancing party ; but rushing forward thoy
secured tho pontoon bridgo, n number alio
fording tho stream. It then becamo a
hand to hand conflict, resulting in tho
oapturo of tho forts with Cvo guns, 1300
prisoners, and several colors.
It is a remarkable fact that all tho in
juries on both sides wero caused by bay
oncti and clubbed muskets. Our mon
took tho suppers which tho ''Tigers" had
prepared for themselves. A portion of

tho 3d Corps captured several hundred
prisonors at Belly's Ford.
On Sunday morning tho entire army
crossed, and in different lines of battle
advanced towards tho onomy, but they re
treated without a struggle. They had
built comfortable Winter quarters, and
evidently expected to remain in them dur
ing the coining Winter. Our cavalry ad
vanced to Culpepper.
On Tuesday the different Corps regularly
encamped, and to all outward nppearanco
wo have finished the campaign.

orators scut from Washington, and tho ten
thousand Gsvcrninent employees ordered

and the inmttcs of all tho hospitals every
