The Legislature of this Sta'e met on the
2d lnsr.,-end organized by-electing one of
the roost radtcal of The opposition, in the
-person ofJusics R. Kkllkt, of Washington
county, as Speaker. As a legislator he bas
had considerable experience ; and it is ex
pected that he will dispatch business rapid
ly, impartially, and cse hit best efforts to t
preserve harmony and decorum through the
entire session. With all his radicalism we
look for nothins more.rhan a strict enforce-
ment-ef the -rules and laws rovernin- the
'Legislature. 'His political views and opin
ions have nothing to do with his course as
'the presiding officer of that body. It is
'hoped he wi! not step-oot-side of his duties
as Speaker, and attempt to inflict upon the
'Legislature any of the fanatical notions and
whims, respecting the American citizen of
African descent, of himse'rf or his party.
In asumic the duties of the chair a heavy
responsibility rests upon him; and in his
remarks on taking his position as Speaker,
be seems not unacquainted with those du
ties. His address wa, in ihe main, couch
ed in language mors applicable to a po
litical gathering than a legislative body -lie
goes as far as Sumner, Stevens & Co.
-ever attempted to go in laudation of negro
freedom, the result of the war. This was
expected ol him, as he is the representative
' -man of that radical portion of the Republi
can party, which placed him in the chair H
ami did he not serve them, or at leat give
them some guarantee in that directian,-in
Jiit earty me?age, he would have been coc--sidered
oeglectful of his duty and acting in
bad faith to Aw pwty. ' It is not claimed but
wbat more competent man, for the posi
tion of speaker than Mr. Kelly, might have
teen selected, but -it fe doubted very much
whether a more true man to his party
friends eoold have been found.
We soncslhat great anxiety is manifest
ed to know who will be chesen Chairman
of the Honse Committee on Railroads, the
fnost important position in the gift of the
Speaker, and one which, cf ?oorse, the!
r Diiaueipniann are laoonng nara to secure-
it is. apparently to their iMerest to con'rol j
fht Coaimittee, and they are in the ascen- j
-dency so far as that is concerned. At leas', j
tach are the present indications. James N. j
Jerr.s, ol that city, desires trie position, as
Chairman, -but has no backers, and Elisha
W. Davis, who but a thort time ago resid--ed
in Venango" connly, but now represents
the Seventh District f "Philadelphia, is

In'another column may be seen bd st
count of the beginning of a suit against
Edwin M. Stanton. Secretary I War, insti
toted, by Joseph H. MadJox, asking one
hundred thousand dollars damage, suffered
by the plaintiff, from illegal conduct of
Stanton in seizing lh property of the plain
tiff, and, without' juM cause, arresting him
and confining hun in prison, at two different
times, contrary to the laws of the land and
without justification.
This is but one of the many difficulties
into which this demon St an tor, has brought
himself by oppressive conduct. The time
U now coming, when the thousands who
have been inhnmanly tortured, by impris
onment, and made to suffer under the rule
of military despotism, may appear in the
Courts -of Justice, and be heard in their
complaints -against the Secretary of War,
the thousands of Provost Marshals, and
cowardly brutes, that were protected, in the
doing of unprecedented wrong. against good
citizens of the country, only by the power
of lhe-sword, improperly held over the peo
ple. - "No man can be denied the privilege
of a hearing before the Courts, end ci vil law,
having been suppressed beneaih'the weight
of arbitrary power, will appear again, in
the absence of despotism, like the clear,
flowing fountains in Spring, whenreleased
from the bond of Winter, and inspiring
new" life, -health aiid vigor, will command
reparation to be made for the offenses com-
. milted by shoulder-strap nabobs, who were
100 cowaly to lace the Confederate .to irt
arms, oui soogm out ine quiei ana peacetoi
citizen to abuse him, because he dared to
enjoy that which the Almighty caused him
to have bis own conscientious views of
right or wrong in political affairs, and which
had been secured to him by the laws of the
land.
We say the time, is coming, and when
it does come, we expect to see the knaves,
the malicious partisans, the Provost Mar
hals and the many dogs -of Columbia
county who permitted themselves (0 be
used as spies and lalse witnesses, properly
placed 'in the power of law, where jus'.ioe
may be rendered them, according to the
rules of law, and the determination of tweWfc
good and lawful men.

vailed in this town on Christmas was dis
graceful in Ihe extreme, and culminated, in
the evenins. in a brutal murder. It seems
that an alterca'ion took place on North
Hanover 6treet, near Thcdium's hotel, be
tween a parly of soldiers and some ciizens.
One of the paries charged tho other with
passing a counterfeit note. Words gave

these shots took effect in the person of a

A soil has been commenced in the. So
preme Court, in this city, against Edwin M.
Stanton, Secretary of War, for one hundred
thousand dollars damages, for the false im
prisonment of one of the owners of the
ninety-five tons of tobacco seized and. de
stroyed at Fredericksburg in March last, by
order of the War Department. The case
came up yesterday' al Chambers, belore
Judge Sutherland, on a motion by plaintiff's
counsel to strike out parts of the answer as
redundant, irrelevant and contradictory, or
to require defendant to make it more defi
nite and certain. The plaintiff, Mr. Joseph
H. Maddox, claims that withjhe knowledge
and consent of the proper authorities, and
with a full and lawful nermit and au'.horitr. ;
t. : t
and was engaged in transferring it within
the lines near Fredericksburg, when, by
the order and procurement of Mr. Stanton
the property was seized, and he was him
self arrested in violation of all law, and
thrown ir.to prison at Baltimore, under the
name of James Brown. The complaint al
leges that the plaintiff, in addition to the ar
rest above stated, was also on the 18tfi of
April, 1864, Nhile he was a good and legal
citizen, and had borne and conducted 'him
self as such, ''without any just or lawlul or
rightful authority, and in defiance and der
oga'ion of his rights, wantonly and mali
ciously caused and procured to be arrested"
by the defendant, Bnd imprisoned al Camp
Hamifon near Fortress Monroe, and at
Washington until the 8ih of June. At tho
lime of the second arrest, on the 14 h of
March last, the defendant, it is alleged, well
knew the plaintiff's real name, ami that he
had done nothing in. violation of any law,
but imprisoned him under the name e-f
James Brown, for the purpose of keeping
the fact of the tobacco seizure a secret on
known to his friends or counsel, and so
thai no legal steps -could be taken for his
discharge, and for the same reason all ac
cess was denied him, and he was detained
for sixty nine days until President Johnson
released htm by a special order. The
plaintiff, during the whole period of his in
carcera'ion, was kept in ignorence cf the
cause of his arrest ; no charge or complaint
was made against him ; no connsel was al
lowed to see him, and he finally had to pay
thousands of money to the government
agents n have the opportunity of sending a
letter to his wif"5. At the lime of his arrest
all of his papers showing the legality of
the transaction he was engaged in were
taken away from him and never returned.
His final release was effected through an
application made or. his behalf to President
Johnson, and was granted against the ad
vice o! Mr. Stanton. When a simi'ar ap.
plication was made to Mr Lincoln, Mr Stan
ton tried to dissuade him from making any
order for plaintiffs discharga.
Mr. Stanton's answer, which was sworn
toon the fifth" of December, first claims lht
J the Court has no jurisdiction in ihe case, for
the reason that neither of Ihe parties are
residents of this city j that the defendant is
a resident cf the City of Vashington, and
then was and s;i!4 is Secretary of War under
tfe government of the Uniled States thai
none cf the alleged wrongs, injuries and
trespasses occurred within the State. The
defendant then makes a general and also a
qualified denial. He denies thai the plain
tiff was arrested by him or his order, and
tlveu a'l-eges on information that Maddock
was arrested for violation of the articles of
waT, ar-vi for certain military offences against
Ihe government, and was for a time kept in.
custody thereunder; that plaintiff by him
self or rounsel made requests to the defend
ant, in his official capacity as Secretary of
War, lo be released on parole and bail, to be
tried by a military iribnna'. The answer
then recite that the Uni;ed Slates was then
engaged in tho suppression of a rebellion ;
that Fro Jericksbur was in the imnsdiate
neighborhood of the field of hostilities, and
that Baltimore was subject to martial law,

omrrendad thai the plaintiff be he'd foMrial
before a miii'ary coart: that what defendant ,
did was no more than he should justly d:

ton, in conclusion, nleads in bar in anv

remedy by the plaintifi, the act of Congress j
cf Marcn 3, 1863, claiming that all be did
was in good fai.h in bis 'official capaci'y,
and by authority and direction of the Piesi-i

The motion was argued at length by ex
Judge Cowes for plaintiff, and ex-Jadgo

that defendant should specify some of the

From the Pa. School Journal.
To Directors. '
By the Act of April 17, 1865, as pablish-
! ed in the official department of the Journal
for May, 1865, the time for issuing the war
rants for the Slate appropriation ia'changtd'
or the law has mads definite what bad be
fore been uncertain. The affidavits and
certificate cannot be made until the common
schools for the school year have closed, and
the President is to swear to the whola num
ber of months taught, also -as to the fact
that all the teachers had certificates. The
annual report most be forwarded at the same
time that the affidavit is; this must, there
fore, be made out as soon as possible in cr
uder that the district may be entitled to its
appropriation, for nd warrant can be- issued
until the annual report for the school year
! for which the certificate is intended has
been receivetl
The law requires positively
that the forjr months certificate and annual
report snail be forxarued at the same time.
-If lha common schools of the district
j commence on the first Monday of Jane, or
! September cr December, and are to be con
tinued six months and at the end of that
lime the school operations for the school
year are lo be closed, the certificate and j
annual report 'can be made out soon after!
Ihe close of November, or February or May, i
and Ihe warrant for the appropriation can j
be issued immediately. The law of 1665, j
requires perem p.oruj luai uuwi uucuriieiua
be on file in this department by the fif
teenth of July in each year.
It is probable that in some districts this
change in the operations of the law may
put Directors to somo irconvenier.ee for the
first year, but after that there can bo no in
convenience attending it. The money will
be received esch ear at the close of the j
schools, if Directors will make oct and 1
promptly forward the proper documents to 9
thi d par'ment. It is believed that after j
the first year i; will be found that the new !
J i
law is preferable in its operations to ihe old ',
one. The officers of the beard who have j
transacted ihe business for the year will be j
obliged lo swear to the affidavit and make ;
out from the data furnished them during the j
year the annual report for the year for which j
ihey have acted. As the report mtist be j
transmitted with the certificate, it will be j
made when th9 facts a'e fresh in the j
minds of the officers wtio have kept ihe j
records and had charge of Ihe documents J
and will ol necessity be on file in this de. j
part mem in time, so that the report clerk j
will have all the necessary oocuments or.
hand, to enable him to prepare Ihe t-latisti-cal
tables for the bound .volume, in proper
season for publication.

manner:

children were playing about the stove, the
clothes of one cf therrt took fire, and in her

and soon the clothing of both were in

The trro children were barned to death.
