A man namd Kil bourn is held in imprisonment at Washington for refu sing to testify to certain questions asked him by a Congressional committee. There is considerable excitement con cerning his imprisonment, it being al leged by distinguished lawyers, such as Jeremiah Black, that Congress cannot imprison a witness as he has been. The lawyers' position is that a law of Con gress provides that a witness quilty of contempt shall be indicted by the Su preme Court before be can be disposed of in such a manner. Ox the 20th inst., being the 78th birthday of Senator Simon Cameron, the Republican Representative from this State, through a committee, con gratulated the Senator oc his vigorous ago and useful career, and asked him to name a day on which they may meet in a banquet in honor of him and his services to tho country. The Senator, however, in acknowledging the honor conferred oc him by the Representa tives in their invitation to meet them, declined to banquet until after his Sen atorial career has expired. Then be will be happy to meet them if they deem it proper to do so. The National Prohibition Conven veotion will meet in Cleveland, Ohio, on the 17th day of May next, to nomi nate candidates for President and Vice President. It is said that the Prohibi tionists will run a Legislative ticket in every district. Marsh re appeared at Washington last week under a promise fiom the United States Attorney General that no criminal prosecution should be insti tuted against him if be returned to ren der testimony, lie has testified again, in substance as he testified before. The utter helplessness of the present Democratic majority, and their unmer ciful punishment by the trained and alert Republican minority has been of ten shown during this session of Con gress. But not until Wednesday last was the full measure of Democratic stu pidity seen. With a Tiew to cut off from the Republicans the campaign funds everywhere raised, by all parties through the collections made among government employees, the Democrats brought in a bill to make the paying of 11 political "assessments," or the mak ing of such demands, cause for dismis sal and legal punishment. But before the bill was brought to a vote the Re publicans secured amendments to it, which the Democrats were forced to support with a very ill grace, to include. Senators, Congressmen and other high fEcials in the list of those who must give up the use of money in elections, as well as clerks ; and adding to the punishable practices the intimidation or bullying of voters at any election, so that the bill the Democrats thought was an artful dodge to cripple their opponent in raising money fur election purposes, now turns out to be the cel ebrated Force Bill of last session, which the Democrats so bitterly opposed, with the single exception of the right to suspend the writ of habta corpus. The New York Tribune the fiercest opponent of the Force Bill last year now says of this act : "It looks now as if the Demoj;at4 were completely outwitjejn-," the bill passed by the Hoe to prevent the use of motiy ja elections. There had v2a plenty of debate over it, and the changes effected by amendments and substitutions were at times somewhat contusing, i'erbaps when it was passed at last the Democratic members did not know exactly what they were voting fur, or perhaps they were too busy with telegrams from Lancaster. At all events the Republicans boast that this measure will give to the Administra tion nearly all the control of Southern elections that was sought last year in the Force bill." If a party having a majority cf 100 members in one of the bouses of Con gress are no better able than that to carry their measures through, of what earthly use are they ? And with what face can such a party go before the country claiming a complete grant of poxer ! Harruburg TeJegrapk.

President Grant stands to-day a Spliinx in the midst of those he so perfectly typifies. As a people we do not yet recognize the realization of the calm ideal we struggle for, and we go out from his presence dumb ourselves, saying: '"What is this man a mighty warrior who set tled the destiny of a nation ; a states man who has ruled through the de moralized era that ever follows a ter rible war ; who sees enemies con quered and friends false, and even his own future threatened, and says nothing!" I sat face to face with President Grant during the Wilson obsequies in the Senate Chamber. There he sat, in the presence of death that day, with the thousand curious eves turned npon him, and not a muscle moved perceptibly. His hands were folded quietly before him, his feet square upon the floor, his head a trine bent ; but as I studied his stranpe features I seemed to see the real face under the ma terial mask, and it was not that of an unsympathetic man. I cannot describe the effect its immobility had upon me, unless I should say that af ter the moulder shaped it he drew a hand over the clay and erased there from every line and wrinkle that might tell a 6tory to the world. His forehead is broad and project ing, and a zigzag line tnrouga it, running down between the gray eyes, betokens thought concentrated and intense. This line deepens each year. The eyes, looking straight out, apparently see nothing they see everything. The nose, with its defi nite curve, is that of a soldier ; the mouth is tightly compressed above a square, firm chin, covered witi a healthy growth of thick beard, and tH c-our of the whole is decidedly agreeable. President Grant's head, with its dark, smooth hair, is in its conformation as stub bora of revelation as his face, It is broad and even, the animal faculties not over-prominent, and it is well set on a shapely neck. He is a man cf medium stature, fairly proportioned, and carries his body a trifle forward in walking. "When the President became aware of the action of the Secretary of War his great natural impulses leap ed to the surface and betrayed their master. He violently rang tho bell and ordered lu3 fastest horse. Then he drove madly, relentlessly, as if pursuing fate dogged every step, through the city, away from men, out into the silent suburbs. "When he came quietly back to the White House his horse dripped with foam ; but he was as stolid, as much his own master, sl3 the hour before he was be trayed. 'He that rnleth his own spirit is greater than he who taketh a city." President Grant is a kind husband, a tender father, a thoughtful broth er, and a most loyal friend. His na ture is a generous one. His sympa thies have gone out towards perse cuted nations and suffering individu als : he has been ready to aid strug gling women ; he is pitiful to crimi nals. But beneath his tomb-like si lence be buries these great capabili- ue Ior Human good, and he will eo uuioo into quiet citizen life, ludged by the taany as a man whose unspoken thoughts were for himself; neyed few; whose desire was for power, place and patrician dignities. A simple man in his tastes, a 6oldier by breeding and heritage, ft lover of humanity, how strange that he b tan da mute exponent of ontrary quali ties before the people who instinct ively believed enough in his great ness to elect him to bo high an office.

Attempted Bank Bobbery. cLast May a party of three, man and wife and invalid brother, representing themselves as Southerners, visited Chambersburg. The principal, a finely educated gentleman, who claimed to have been a Colonel in the ' Louisiana Tigers," made quite an impression in tbe social circles of tbe staid villago. lie wound himself into the good graces of the best families of the town. Hav ing no visible means of support, he lived a sort of an idle, careless life, so much admired by shoddy aristocracy in these days. About s week ago another party, bailing from Pittsburg, arrived on the ene. He gave his name as Johnson. "he first named lion handed in bia cog- oases as Ralston. The two met but seldom, and appeared only common ac quaintances. Last evening about nine o'clock Ral ston snd Johnson called on Dir. Mes scrsuiith, eaahier National Bank, and told him that as they proposed leaving early this morning, tbey desirsd to make a despoait before leaving town. Mr. M. kindly consented to oblige tbem.

On his person were found some $30,000. He Ralston bad a revolver in each hand, aud a large dirk in bis belt. His confederate,1 Johnson, escaped. Both had horses saddled close at hand, and would doubtless have gotten off had not fortune played false to this hero of modern society. A full set of burglars' tools were fouud in the vicinity where the horses bad been secured. Tbe fire bells were rung, and the citizens turned out, and it required strenuous efforts on the part of the officers of the law to keep the infuriated populace from lynching Ralston to a lamp post. Johnson was captured at Mercers burg. Altogether it has proved one ef the most ""oraplete plots well laid, well ex .-uted, but a sad finale. Harruburg Telegraph cf 25A it. A Desperate Duel. It is now over thirty years since one of the most remarkable, desperate and murderous duels that ever took place in this or any other country was fought at Vicksburg. One of the parties was formerly a New York boy, who was a graduate from one of tbe Wallstreet banks. After filling all of the desks of that institution with singular ability, from a eollectisg clerk up tat the posi tion of first teller, while still quite a young man be was appointed cashier of a bank in Vicksburg, which gave offence aud caused great jealousy among tbe senior clerks of that institution, and they took every opportunity to oppose and insult him. This becace so marked and unbearable in its character that the President finally told the cashier that he must resent it, and that be would stand by him. lie bad an occasion soin after to give one of tbe tellers a speci men of his skill in the art of self de fence. This resulted in a challenge for a duel, which was accepted and was fought, after three days of constant pis tol practice, resulting in tbe death of tbe teller. lie had numerous relatives that one after an other came forward U avenge his death, until four duels were forced upon tbe cashier from the natural consequences of the first duel, and "still there were more Richmond in the field." A relative of the first victim an editor and successful duel list gave out a threat that he was coming to town to avenge the death of his cousin. Ilia great courage and des perate fighting qualities had been frc. meatlv successfully tried, and were so well known that "something desperate must be done to meet the emergency and if possible to stop any and all fu ture challenges. The editor arrived in town and lost no time in sending bis message, which was as promptly res ponded to. Eirly in the morning of the same day all of the arrangements were made fur a meeting at six o'clock the next morning. After making some necessary ar rangements in case of death, the cashier went to bed and slept until four A. M., having all this time forgot the almost worshipful love and devotion of his wife and only child, who were in profound ignorance of his desperate enterprise. He silently kissed them ; and then the husband and father stole away to at tend to the bloody business that be deemed imperative, according to "the eode of honor" and the loose morals of the inhabitants of that vicinity. lie went forth with a firartietermination "to conquer or die!" On arriving at the appointed rendezvous, he found a trecch dug six feet deep, two feet wide aud twelve feet long. Into this double grave the two principals descended, each armed with six-shooting navy re volvers, and having bowi e knives, with instruction to commence firing at tbe word, and advance and finish the bloody work with their knives if tbe pistols failed to accomplish it. At the first shot tbe tditor was mortally wounded, lie drew his knife, and with the feroci ty of a tiger sprung forward at bis op ponent just as he bad fired his second sbot. He warded off the blow with his pistol, which bad a deep cut in it made by the heavy knife, showing what a desperate blow bad been aimed at his life by his adversary, who fell dead at his feet. The cashier's mind was so much diseased that he could not attend to business, and by the advice of his phys'nian took a vacation and change of scene. He came to New lork and died in a lunatio asylum on the Island a month after.
