In the case of the Commonwealth vs. Daniel Dean and William Briley, Quarter • Nesions, Schuylkill County, in an elaborate opinion pronounced some days ago by Ryon, President Judge, the • folliewing points were decided : 1. An indictment lies between judges and in'pectore of elections, throughout the State of Pennsylvania, for refusing to take the vote of one accused of being a deserter, but not tried or convicted of the offense. 2. The 21st section of the act of Congress passed March 3d, 1865, 2 Brightly's U. 8.

Second-► Would existing oircumstancesjus !Hp the President in sending his nest Annual Message to an illegal and unconstitutional assemblage, pretending to be tho Congress of the United State, • Third—Does that clause_ to section sth of the first article of the constitution, which makes each house the judge of the election returns and qualifications of its own members give to-the presets Congress the right to ex clude the members from ten states, or to im pose dishonorable. or unconstitutional terms upon their admission. • Fourth—Does the President's oath of office require him to enforce those provisions of the constitutioo.,which give to each stale an equal right of representation in Congress, article first, section second ;. section third, article sith, last clause. Fifth—What steps do the constitution and his oath of olilce require the President to take in order to secure the aspemblage of a constitu tional Congress? Upon the reply that may be made by the Attorney General to the above, the President, have reason to believe, has determined to take his' stand. Instead of P. F. Myers it was one Col. \ Tate who made the epeeelt in Bedford, landing Wilkes Booth. The Observer may think it vit.:ulna in Tate if it was not so in Myers.

The Observer does not think it would have been '•virtuous" in either Mr. Tide or Mr. Myers to have used the objectionable expres sion ; and, further, it does not believe that either did use it. If It can be shown to ye, 'by gool testimony. that one of Them was its authof, we promise the Dispatch to denounce him as heartily as it can wish. Dot why is it that our cotemporary tautest) 'mucbcondemnation on thisimbjectwhen itdaily sees intimations in its Radical exchanges that would seem to evince a willingness on their part to endorse the assassinatioo of. Mr. Johnson without a word of objection? It Cannot plead ignorance .of the matter, fox they are made in so bold a manner as to be notorious to all. now much worse is it to applaud Lincoln's assassination then to sug gest that of Mr. Johnson? The Observer's course has been consistent to say the least— It as freely condemns those who. caused Mr. Lincoln's death, as it does those who appear willing to put Mr. Johnson oat of the way by criminal measures ;—and we cannot help but think the Dispatch would stand in a better light if it pursued the same honorable policy.

Fairvi - In hit Mon day evening, Mr. DeCamp referred to a com munication which appeared in the Observer some weeks ago, reflecting upon Gen. tleary's military character, in terms of severe' criti cism. Of course, we cannot object to a fair discussion of any - statements which appear in our columns, but on this subject Mr. DeCamp. did us injustice by failing to state that the article objected to was from the pen of a cor: respondent, instead of being an editorial opin ion, as most of the audience were undoubtedly led to lielieve. We will repeat, also, what we clearly stated at the time and afterwards, that.the writer of the article was a soldier who had served under Geary, and who knew' personally of what 'he related. Sorely the testimony of such a person is worth as much as that of Mr. DeCamp or any other person whose- sole °Nect in eulogizing Gen. Geary is based upon political motives. -The DemmeCy in Erie County, New York, have nominated their present member. ion. Huinphrey, in opposition to the Repub lican nominee, Mr. Clapp, of the Express.

The Gazette makes but three mistakes is the the above paragraph, which we proceed to correct. Mr. Clapp is not "strong with his own party," he has no popularity with the Fenian?, and there is not the slightest proba bility of. his carrying the diatriet.

Tun RAINL—In future weather male, the year 1866 will be noted for its heavy rain falls and its two weeks of 'terribly hot weather. Had the heat moisture come together, or alternated at brief intervals, this would have been a year of wonderful ; crops, especially cotton crops. But unfortunately the heat came when it did no good,, land the rain when it worked, incalculable mischief. The late rains have probably, destroyed one tenth of the Northern corn crop, end ruined beyond redemption a full fifth of the Southern cotton crop. There was so large 1t breadth of land sown in corn that we can e l pare this loss and still have an abundance; brit not.so with cot ton, as the recent sharp advance in price shows. It ie stated that the President hue canted to be sent $5,000 in all his doubtful Congres sional districts. Ten thousand will not do the business in this one.—Dispdteh.

The statement either tlutt the' President caused $5,000 to be sent into this district, or that Mr. Scott added "ten, or twenty-thou sand" to it, has no foundation whatever.
