Wo invito public attention to the speech
of Hon. 0. L. Lamberton, of Olarion, do.
livcred in tho Senate January 27, on the
question of organization. It covers the
whole ground reviews tho action of tho
Deuiocratio Senators and thoir opponents
in a masterly manner aud clearly shows
that the "lojal" Senators havo noted very
dV.oyally and illegally, in open dofiance
and violation of tho Constitution and the

with interest.
SSj"" Tho Pee John gives publicity to
tho silly story, that James P. Barr, Sur
veyor General of Pennsylvania, and Edi
tor of tho Pittsburg Post has come to the
conclusion, that tho only way to establish
permanent peace, in this country, is to
abolish slavery. It is a wholesalo slan
der upon Gen. Barr. Hessian Bergner,
a full blooded brother of Poo John, started
tho lio,and Gen. Barr, in a lato number of

The Effects
of the
tion.
Proclama-
Tho Amnesty Proclamation is produc
ing visible effects in tho ranks of thollebcl
armies. Cincinnati Commercial.
Tho only effect ''visible" to our eye is
that of tho call for a draft of fivo hundred
thousand more men to coutinuo tho war
and to endeavor to make headway against
tho Confederate leaders.
But a few weeks since, The Tribune had
an editorial leader proving by facts and
figures by such facte and such figures
Tho Tribune can provo anything that the
rebellion was "gono up," squelched out,
its backbone broken, and all that was now
ueofssary was to reap fruits of the victory.
Tho proclamation did this work most effec
tually. The January draft was suspen
ded no moro troops, wo' were told by tho
Administration papers, would be needed,
and peaeo was again soon to dawn upon
tho land. So strong was this belief that
the war w3 about to closo iu a blaze ol
glory, and .Mr. Seward was apparently so
sincere iu his predictions, that ho deceived
Lord Lyons, and that gentleman wrote to
tho English Government that tho civil war
in tho United States would certainly be
over before tho end of tho next ninety
days Two thirds of (hat timo has al
ready past, and now tho end of tho war
seems indefinitely postponed. Under the
supposed iefluonce of tho proclamation, our
armies wont into winter quarters, and all
who could be trusted, were sent homo on
furloughs. But,
"Tlie war, which for o tparodid fall,
Now trebly thundering awclla thogilu."
And despite tho Amnesty Proclamation
and tho prediction of Abolition papers,
half a million moro men aro to be dragged
from their families and mado to outer the
army, to make good tho vantago ground
lost by tho terms of tho very Proclama
tion which was to givo us peace. Tho
effects tbo Amnesty Proclamation has
produced and is producing aro "visibl,"
and it will bo felt the day tho draft is en
forced, and families left tofctarveby being
deprived, by the arbitary edict of tho
Presidont of thoir natural protectors.

OUloial Corruption.
Tho country Is just now boing dnrllcd
by the most astounding developments of
fraud in tho various departments of (he
Government, Corruption has becorao n
romiing soro on tho body politic, and the
Treasury department, the Navy depart
ment and tho War department are reeking
with its pollution, and oven gravo Senators
aro not above suspicion;

Houso officers woro recently detected in
carrying on a contraband trade with tho
South, furnishing tho rebels with arms and
munitious of war, and amassing fortunes
for themselves. Tho Navy department,
under tho management of "old father Gid
eon," has beon notorious for its swindling
operations from tho beginning of tho War.
Contractors were awarded to favorites and
relatives through which rotten ships were
furnishod at enormou3 prices and the
Government swindled out of millious. In
ferior machinery was aeoeptcd by tho de
partment and used in tho construction of
new vessels, over greatly superior, bo
cause tho patentees were "loyal" parasites
of the Administration. A Sonator in Con
grsa ha3 confessed his guilt of selling his
official influonco for tho neat littlo sum of
S3000, to secure tho release of a person
confined iu the Old Capitol Prison by or
der of the War offieo. Whether tho fco
was divided between the Senator and the
Secretary has not yet beon developed.'
And last, though not least, wo hoar of
corrupt practices and collusion in tho War

resolution explanatory of tho Confiscation
not was passed by tho Fcdoral Houso of j
Representatives on Fridnv last. Tho voto ,
Wa9 close, bring oightythroo to seventy-
four hut that small majority of nine was
sufficient to place that branch of Congress
on record as tho deliberate violators of an
cxprasi provision of tho Constitution. It
has thus been demonstrated that tho Abo-
lition faction in Congress is numerically
strong enough to carry tho most infamous
and unconstitutional measures. It is fear
ful to contemplate tho condition of anarchy I
and chaos to which this wild ml unsoru
pulous legislation may bring the country,
Tho fanatics who sway tho Fcdoral coun
cils bid dofianco to all law, all right, all
constitutional restraint that stand at all in
tho way of their dcporato purposes. Of
eourso when reluming reason exposes tho
illegality of this act of spoliation and re
venge, and when our courts of justice shall
havo resumed their fiinctionsiiinfiuenccd
by dcpotio power, tho Confiscation bill
will bo uo moro than so muoh"parohmt-ut fo

ol robbery by legislation will have been
run, and questions appertaining to titles in
Southern real estate will havo become
so complicated and confused that tho en
tire country will be involved in litigation,
and years of judicial inquiry will ho re
quired to unravel tho tangle of conflicting
claims.
We do not design to comment on the
unconstitutionality, injustico and impolicy
of tho act. Tho question argues itself.
We need but to point to tho emphatic
statement of tho Constitution and tho evi
dence is there of crimo of thoso forosworn

States were united. A covenant broken
iu one of its provisions is canceled.

Onc.Man Power.
Abraham Lincoln has informed tbo Ar
kansas delegation that "one-tenth of the
pcoplo of that Statu oan at any timo call a
State Convention, nominate State officers
and put the machiuar v of a State Govern
ment in motion.''' llo told them that he
had authorized this to bo done in Louis
ana, and that the people or one-tenth of
them in Arkansas, could do tho same
thing.
This is governing majorities with u high
hand. But where did Mr. Lincoln get
tho power for authorizing onc-tcnth of the
people of a state to govern nine-tenths of
them ? From the Arsenals ? Is this man
the servant or ?naster of tho people ! He
has sworn to preserve, protect, and do
fend tho Conititution. But tho doctrine
that one-tenth may govern nine-tenths,
pretty effectually ''squelches'' that instru
ment, which has been regarded as of groat
valuo and authority by all tho former
Presidents,
The disunionists in our State Legisla
ture havo addressed a letter to tho joker
at the White House, asking him to con
sent to a rcnomination for the Presidency
lor a second term ! As Lincoln is now
(and indeed has been all his life,) hostile
to tho Union aud tho Constitution, aud is
using his best efforts to smash our coun
try into piecee, ho is the very man traitors
and disuuionista ought to go for ; and
hence, it is all right aud proper that the
Abolition members of our Assembly shouly
ask for his rcnomination. Next fall, how
ever, tho 2'oplc will tako this quosliou
into their own hands, aud call 'a Mates
man and patriot to tho Presidency. Thoy
havo suffered long enough from having
incompotout and visionary fanatics at
the head of affairs, and intend to applj
the remedy the first opportunity.
The Instrument ! Among a relics
of resolutions before the California legis
lature, one contains tho following : ''That
tho pcoplo still look to Abraham Lincoln
as the instrument selected by Piovideno,"
ito., which passed the Senate with but fivo
dissenting votes, aud the Assembly with
only two objecting members.
So, thon, to ''Father Abraham," "Old
Abo," "His Excellency," "His High
Mightiness," tho "Hail Splitter," and
his almost countless other titles, is to be
added "The Instrument." Wo know
of no instrument to which ho bears the
least resemblance, except perhaps tho
"harp of a thousand strings," upon which
all Abolitiondoin and Niggcrdom plays at
random.

cing tho muzzle within a foot young Cob
verso's head, and fired, tha ball taking
effect under or back of his car. Ho in
stantly discharged a second barrel, tho ball
taking effect in Conversed temple, whilo
his victim lay on tho floor.
Alter the consummation of tho deed ho
seized the bills in tho drawer, about fivo
thousand dollars, and went to his own own
office. Ho informed tho persons present
that a portion of the money was concealed
iu a piece of newspaper iu an old boot in
the post office. Six hundred and fifteen dol
lars were found as ho had directed. He
further stated that tho baiauco was secret
od under the flooring in tho attiooftho
Volunteer Engine houso, and on making
search throe thousand four hundred and
fifty-four dollars in Maldon Bank bills
were found, making in all four thousand
and sixty-nino dollars. This, with several
smms paid by him, accounts for the whole
amount stolen from tho bank
Ho also stated that tho pistol was in a
drawer at his hoarding house and on going
thero it wa3 fouud.
Green was brought to this city and
committed to the Tombs. Tho feelings of
