ery. As Congress found it necessary

It is worthy of note that the course
of the Indiana Democrats relative to

Thus contrasted,, legislation is nothing
more than favoritism.
It may be possible for the extension

THE CHINESE Titaa - TY.—=The treaty

through Mr. Burlingame, hae reached
the flowery land, and' finds the Cele
stial Empire threatened by new entan
glements with England and France,
with domestic wars in the southern and
eastern provinces, and the- march of
tle.Mahomedan rebels on Pekin. The
latter are in force, and ,the telegiaph,
announces a belief that they will take
the capital, and so overthrow the dis
tinctive Chinese !overnment and civi-
lization within a year. The disturbance

more powerful race of fighting men-to

dagger must be watched with great. in
terest its success would radically re'.-

THE CENSUS.—The arrangements
for taking the next census of the Unit
ed States will be completed before the•
adjournment -of the present session of
Congress. A bill for this purpose has
beep prepared by Mr Garfield. of Ohio.
It is similar toln 2 eviou's bills for" the
same purpose, and provides for the ap
pointment by the President of a Su
perintendent of the Census, Bureau,
which is to be established in the Inte
rior Department; an assistant-Superin
tendent in each CongressionaLDistrict;
and as many enumerators as may be
required to complete the work of 'taking
the census in, two months. The \ Ses
retary of the Interior, Attorney Gene
ral and Superintendent. are appointed
a board to revise the reports of district
superintendents and arrange theni in
tables, &c., for public action. The
board is expected to make its report to
Congress before it is finally printed.
The increase of representation in Con
gress which will follow this new cen-
Pus is variously estimated. It is not
improbable that the number of members
of the House will be 'increased to two
hundred and seventy. •

ever since I bre been an Alderman.

States, I to the best of my ability and
policy, protect, defend the constitution
and my warm friends and Generals of
the rebel army. Let us in future cling
closer than ever to the constitution; that
constitution was framed by our ,fore
fathers. I hope we .will, all keep- in
bounds with that sacred relic ; such
has always been my policy, and the
feeling I always hatie for the COnsti•
tution • Let us turn for a moment to
the history of the majority in Con'gress
which has acted in •such utter disre
gard to my policy and the constitution;
they, have broken their oaths of obe
dience to my policy and the constitu
tion, they deliberately tried to impeach
me, who defended the constitution and
the Union and my policy. Calmly
reviewing my administration and poli
cy and the constitution, I feel that
with a sense of accountability to the
constitution and my'policy discharged
my whole duty according to the con
stitution and my policy, 1 have noth
ing to regret. Events have proved
the correctness of my, Tolley and the
constitution. - I can in all sincerity in
quire whom have I defrauded accord
ing to my policy and the,constitution?
whom have I oppressed, or at whose
hand,. according to my policy and the
constitution, have freceived any bribe
to_ blind my constitutional eyes'? u
responsibility for war, according to my
policy and the constitution, or blood
that has been.shed - rests hpon me and
my policy; my thoughts have been'
those of peace and the constitution.
Iffy efforts have ever been to -allay
contention among my Countrymen, ac
cording to my policy and the allied
tution. Forgetting the past, let us
return to, the first principles of my po
licy and the constitution, and unfurl
ing the banner of our country inscribe
upon it hi ineffaceable characters thy
policy and the constitution. My coun
trymen, we, have a great country to
; protect; our bounds extend to the
North, by the ,A.urora borealiks, and on
the South by the Gulf Stream, on, the
*et by the rising Bun, and on the
West by the ice-hound hills of Alaska
The (undamental `principle of this great
geological' domain is inhabited by the
nationality of the wholh universe,,so
it reqrtires the vox-popnii groat

those milers and tyrants who attempt
to Mislead and. debauch and trample

Of course the odiof 111111 charge made agatnit
Goyernof Wells Of. a., and Mr. , Dudley, ,
Chairnied . of the Republican State
ItCom
mittee, of unlawftill 7- obtaining - a - letter, -
their arrest .theiefe -and-the, removal of
the former by Gen.,Stonedinn, in . cones-
Videos, have excited a painful interest
among Republicans here. From the de
gree of dependence I place upon the source
pf 'my information in the premises I will
venture to say, that the Sollhwing will be
fairid; - Oilthe itearieglO be - bra to-day in
Richmond—the-true state of factkin the
'case. . . .
The. facts .about the. letter are these:
Gov. Wells Wes shown, by a respectable
men, an already opened letter which con
taitied a scheme ple.nned by a man who
pretended to bea friend of the Governor's
at the time, for preventing the otherwise
confidently expected nomination of the
Governor tor the position, then held by
him. He took-a coley of it, and handed
the original back. The . person for whom
the letter was interact, asserts that he
never receive/ot , . that the latter was'
stolen :somewhere before it reached him.
On the otherelde, tin) "theory" is, as law
yers says, that he aicreceive it,. and drop
pod it in a certain office where he .Was linowca
to have been; and whore a pocket-knife
blade wee found broken, in a desk drawer
or lid, believed to hive been broken off in
The mother - of a - convict - in' the - Massa

empt - by min, to get into Mild by niutud.•
al uniawtm at emptiry . /m, to get into
the doe& of another party to get' access to
letters which he had nd business with.
Mr. Dudley's* connection with the al
leged-crime has no other ground than the
fact that on some 'one day near the time
when the letter must have been mailed, a
colored boy, a messenger under the'direc
tion of Mr. Dudley, was going to the Post
Office with some mail. matter, when Mr.
Dudley, Meeting him asked him what he
was taking to the Office, and looked at the
various letters, and handed them buck,
every ono, so far as the boy knows.
The ammus,of the charge, then, is all
that remains to speculation. It is attri
buted entirely to the doh e.to render Goy-
Wells and the Republicans—the recon
structed party—of Virginia odious in the
State, and before Congress and the coun
try: And to tho; purpose they say Gen.
Stoneman hue willingly lent• himself,
being at heart bitterly opposed to theth,
and being surrounded and influenced by
their '-enemies, with whom he warmly
sympathizes. They say that the military
govennment is,-and hits been, a hindrance
to Reconstruction, and to the control of
the State by foyalists. And in proof of
this, they state that Gen. Stoneman, among .
his recent supersedures, forced upon him
by the laws of Congress, has appointed to
a considerable proportion of the vacated
offices, persons who cannot take the oath.
All they' ask is the liberty. to fight the
battle of Reconstruction by themselves.
Under the lowed Congress, undzwith their
present trust in thadispesition of Congress
and the President regorging the State, they
do not entertain the elikhtest fear for the
issue..
THE PRESIDENT ON RECONSTRUCTION
In reply to-some remarks of a delegation
of citizens of Mississippi, on the reconstruc
tion of that State, .t.be President said be was
free to admit that the speediest, cheapest
and most satisfactory solution of the Mis
sissippi problem was ftir Congress to sub
mit the constitution framed by the late
convention to the people. with tho privi
lege of voting separately upon three-or
four clauses of the constitution objected to
by - the Conservatives.
11W BUSINESS I
the extra compensation for clerks here,
several months ago,' Mr. Mow, a clerk in
the Navigation Bureau 'of the Treasury,
obtained an interview with the then Rep
resentative E. B. Washburne, and be
sought him to discontinue his opposition
to some increase as the clerks real ly needed
it, and generally deserved it. The "Watch
Dog of the Treasury," as - became him,
growled his dissent, in no very reconciling
manner, The clerk, irritated, and intend
ing to adapt hinahelf to his company,
doubtless, snappishly gave it as a piece of
his mind that it. would have been .quite as
becoming and consistent in thole Con
gressthen who preached economy, as an
-objection to extra compensation to the
clerlsh, if eh) , had declined to increase
their own salaries 67 per cent., which
originally were twice as.great as those of
the clerks. "What,, dare you," said
growler to yelper, "shoW your teeth at met
I'll spot you for that!"-- And sure enough,
one of the last things which Hou. E. B.
Washburne, late Secretary of State, and
now 11. S. Minister Plenipotentiary and
Envoy Extraordinary to France, busied
himself about outside of his own affairs,
was to take Mr. MOVA BACCSSnr to him at
his office desk, with his successot's commie

The Rev. E: M. Long visited this place
anfqiring the week of 'his stay, preached
each evening in ono of the churches. His
illustrated discourses, which were highly
instructive and interesting, attracted our

audiences which filled churches to over
flowing. gospel truth with a
clearness and
, simplieity which children
may apprehend and which rivets the at
tention of old as well as young. The re
sult has been a very genera! awakening
and an earnest inquiry. after the way of
life, on the part of many of youth espe
cially. His visit•vrill long be
