Wednesday. Nov. 21,1866
This bring Court week, and the j
Court being in full blast in the disposition
of ejiminal cases, the duties of the editor in
connection with them, has rendered his vis
its to the editorial sanctum very rare and of
very brief duration.
We, the undersigned, have put all our
heads together, and by our united efforts
have got up decidedly the best paper print
ed in the County. In proof of the correct

FOREMAN, Tvros <k DKYIL.
The spunky editor of the Salt Lake Vi
d'-tte—l lev. Dr. M'Leod —who expressed
his determination to stay and blackguard
the Mormons if lie had to pay the penalty
with his life, "is deterred from returning
to Utah by fear of assassination." lie and
a Dr. Robinson have accordingly taken up
their headquarters in St. Louis, and from
thence intend to preach a crusade over the
country against the Mormons, and raise up
a spirit of hatred against the "saints." We
should think that if JSalt Lake is not a safe
place for Gentiles or meddlesome Yankee
preachers, that they mighs find other local
ities more blessed. The world is very
large. Gents nee In't fly into the flame of
the candle if they don't want to; and it

INTERNAL REVENUE.— It appears that
uotwithstan i g the .eductions and exemp
tions made by the new internal revenue
law, the receipts for the four months end
ing October 31st. exceed by a million of
dollars those of the corresponding month of
last year, totals fo>- the period nam.d in '66
being $125,251, 543.14, against 5124,181,-
408 20 in IS 55. The month of October,
Ito vever, s! >ws a decline of $4,000,000,
thau was anticipated from the relief wiselv
extended to many productive interests.—
IFith a turn indicating an internal revenue
of $3,5,000,000 per annum, the nation on
ly requires wise statesmanship to extricate
herself from the pecuniary burdens impos
ed by the war, There is nothing like it in
hi' tory or fable, unless we except a taint
rcsembb.nce in the simile of au army of
lion* led by a sheep.
HON. IILNUT S. MAGRAW. —It ma\
not be generally known to our readers
that one of the plea-ant incidents and re
sults ot the recent election in Maryland, is
the election of Hon. Henry S. Magraw as
a delegate from the county of Cecil to the
Legislature ot that State. The name of
Harry Magraw has been for many years
associated with the Politics ot Pennsylva
nia. He was for three successive years
Treasurer of the State, during which time
lli'* financial affaus ot .he State—often
t'uies embarrassed—were managed with
rare ability. We are "lad to know that he
is appreciateu in the home of his adoption;
so much so that tie is prominently named,
in connection with the IT.l T . S. Senate, as
the suecesfor of the infamous and degener
ate CrisweM. Such a result would rejoice
the hearts of his numerous friends in this
Mate, and be eiilnely acceptable to the
Democracy.
Sljnificant,
u We know, precisely, say 9 the N, Y.
Independtn', (Radical> every prominent
member of Congress, and we know that
the leaders do not intend to admit the un
daunted States on the mere adoption of
(he amendment. Moreover we know per
sonally the leading Radicals of the Ropub
lic.,n party outside of Congress, and we
know that they have no intention ot mak
ing the amendment the final measure of
admis-ion. To say, therefore, as the Na
tional Committee say, that on condition of
adopting the amendment, as Teunussee
adopted it,"the door stands invitingly open"
for the ten other states, is to make a prom
ise to the ear and to break it to the hope.
* * We, therefore, repeat that Con
gress is not pledged either by the existing
offer of terms to the unconstructed States,
of by the precedent ot Tennessee, to make
the Constitutional amendment the basis of
restoration."
The Li <epeudcnt might have said with
equal torce and truth, that "every promi
nent (radical) member of Congress ' meant
disunion. That they urged the war for
disunion; that they never intended a les
toratiun, and will prevent Union if it is in
their power, regardless of the "so-called '
amendment, or anytning el-a. They are
disunionists, and our faith is not strong that
they will not succeed.

There seems no room to d<>ubt that ac
tual destitution is imminent throughout a
large part of the South. The Carolinas,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Loui
siana, are represented as the scenes of
widespread suffering, arising froin the
failure of crops upon which the people of
the interior counties relied for their year's
subsistence. Some of the crop# have al
together tailed ; others are so shor* s to
be inadequate to the wants of the Winter
months; and as n.b huge results exists in
any part of the South, the prospect is to
immense numbers appalling. Nor is there
any resident wealthy class to minister to
the necessities of their destitute neighbors.
The yield of cotton falls so far below ex
pectation that the planters are unable to
meet their own indebtedness. Even now
we hear of applications to the State and
military authorities for assistance to avert
impending famine ; and tne rigors ol" the
approaching season portend misery and
disease unless the action be both
prompt and effective.
Unfortunately, the Southern Mate gov
eminent? have not very extensive re
i sources at their command. Their treasu
ries are eraptv, their taxes uncollected and
uncollectable, and their facilitns for rais
ing money by loan far below power. The
Freedmen's Bmeau may have more avail
able means, but there are reasons for re
' striding rather than extending its eleerao
syn ry operations, if other means of relief
can be available.
Such being the condition of thousands
and tens of thousands at the South, and
such the inadequacy of Southern powers
of relief, a duty devolves upon t'ie North
that should neither he underestimated nor
defeered. It is not a ease for Congress or
the President, nor for the Governors or
Legislatures of the States with >ut the
Union. It is a case in which the benevo
lence of the North should spontaneously
come forward, to assure the starving mul
titudes of its readiness to cooperate with
trustworthy local organizations that may
be formed for their relief. The North is
able of its bounty to take care that suffer
ing, however extended, shall not culmi
nate in famine; and its liheralitv when ap
pealed to from other quavers, should be a
.guarantee of what it will undertake to do
when the Southern authorities shall set
forth the data of an appeal, and the man
ner in which they propo-e to apply the
assistance that mav be rendered them.
The famine now raging in India has east
a blot upon the escutcheon of England's
civilization. It has appeared almost in
credible that a nation whose missionaries
penetrate the remotest recesses of heathen
ism to preach the gospel of charity, should
permit millions of its own subjects to per
ish from sheer honger, without one vigor
ous effort to succor them. Let U9 take
care that a similar hornr be not repeated
on a smaller scale ir. Alabama and other
districts of the South. The plea of igno
rance will not be available. The fact that
destitution extensively prevails, has b--en
promulgated through toe many channels
to admit of controversy ; and the inability
of the South to cope wi h the suff ring
which weekly spreads within oordcrs, ; s
equally Sitseeptiole of proof. We ought
not to wait until famine actually b.gi.isi's
work.— zVt w York 71 -m v

* During the struggle between Andrew

the government, threats were made that
an army woald be called together and cn
csrone.j U pon Capitol Hill for the purpose
of enforcing the decieesof Congress,, with
out regard to the Chief Magistrate of the
nation. That threat has been duplicated
at the present time by the Radicals, and
a forward movement made towards put
ting it in execution, as will be seen by the
following "circular" which is being sent
into all the Northern Slates ;
Being profoundly impressed with the

This is the culmination ef that sprit of
resistance to lawful authority which has
been inculcated by the orators and presses
of the Radical party. The "Congression
al Directory" precipitated a conflict np.-n
the people of New Orleans, and the Press
endeavored to provoke a civil war in Mi
rvland pending the recent election. And
now, as a firing finale to the treasonable
and sanguinary designs of the Radicals,
they are inviting armed men to assemble
at Washington simultaneously with the
representatives of the people. These men
wid be led an 1 controlled bv Stevens and
Butler, and similar exponents of a "cei -
tralized despotism." The form, r declar- d
that Congress should be constituted m
permnnerne, and the latter is for removing
the President and "wiping" out. the "Reg
ular Armv," if that arm of the govern
ment should he called upon to enforce
obedience to law. ai d opioid the constitu
tional functions of one branch of the gov
ernment. The result of a popular d.-tnon
strati.n manipn'- ' by such men as
these, having su< ob ts in view, cannot
fail to be destruc to that regard for
law and order, that respect for free legis- '
lation. which slo ukl form the basis of all
parties in a republic.
The a inouncement that neh a gather
ing of men at the capital <>f the nation is
necessary to pi ove "that the threats ami
insults of a treacherous executive against
th legislative branch ot the government
cannot intimidate a free people,' is a mere
blind The executive officer of the nation
has made no threats against the legislative
branch of the government. lie has exer
cised his constitutional right to veto mes
sages opposed to the Constitution and the
best interests of the people, and criticised
in a fair, legitimate manner the acts and do
ings of Congress. This he had a perfect
right to do. Yet. this course of action is
entith d "the threats and insults of a treach
erous executive against the legislative
branch of the government," and armed
soldiers are summoned to assemble at
Washington in order to muzzle the Pres
ident, and elevate Congress into supreme
power. The President has the same right
to differ with <'ongress, that Congress his
to disagree with him. He is bound bv no
promises to Congress, the breaking . f
which involves treachery or dishonor. He
is the President of the whole nation, and
his actions are uational and patriotic in
their n eaning, scope and intention The
present Congress is the representative
of a section. and its purposes arc partisan,
sectional and treasonable. If, therefore,
thev pass 'aws to carry out their designs
upon the Union and the perpetuity of con
stitutional liberty, the Executive is hound
to prevent those laws trom hearing fruit
bv all the constitutional power, vested in
that department of the government.
This callng to Washington, at the meet
ing of Congress, an organized force sub
ject to the orders of the revolutionary
lead TS of that body, is suggestive of mis
chief and danger. Will this band of arm
ed men be retained there? Certainly,-
It is one of the means by which a minority
Congress intends to force its decrees upon
the nation. Power is to be used, if the
President persists in defending the Con
stitution, and in guarding that instrument
against the treasonable designs of the Rad
ical haters of the Union The doors of
Conur ss are to be sentinelled bv armed
soldie s, and thns the legislation of the
nation is to be forced fronrits legitimate
channel, The movement contemplated in
the ''circular" printed above, is calculated
to destrot the vita! principles which .un
der-lies our form of government into a
military despotism, and a* it is endorsed
by the Radicals, they are thus convicted
bv their own testimony of a plot th bring

The Baltimore Mystery.
The Conservative victory in Baltimore
astonishes every one in view of the ability
of the Radicals, by the Police Commission
ers, to exclude all who did not agree with
them, The mystery is thus sensibly and
seasonably explained by the Springfield
Republican:
The Republicans of Baltimore had en
tire control of the machinery of the elec
tion and excluded all the voters they
chose, as r-bels or rebel sympathizers.—
1 hat they should, win Hiidcr such circum
stance was considered a matter of eourse
Nor is their failure accounted for bv say
ing that the rebels perjured themselves
and so got their votes in. The figures tell
another story. Two verrs ago the Repub
licans cast n ariv 15,00U votes in the city
and the opposition not quite 3,000. Now
the Republican vote has fallen to 7,500
and the Deinoera's has gone up to 8,500.
The Democrats have gained 5,500 and
the Republicans lost that number and
'2,000 more. The aggregate vote is 2,000
less than in 18C4, and 8,000 registered
voters did not vote at all. It cannot be
said that the Republicans were kept from
the polls by intimidation. The truth is
that many of the Baltimore Ri-pulicans
are conservative, after the manner of Gov
ernor Swann, hut the result is, in part at
lea t, a protest by Republicans themselves
against the policy of exclusion.
They saw that citizens quite
as loyal and trustworthy as themselves
were disfranchised under ptetenc-;, that
they had at sometime indulged sympathy
witli the rebds; they saw this year's reg
ulation ?et aside by those who made it
when thev discovered that the majority of
those registered were against them in pol
itics, ana they began to understand that
such gross vitiations of the right of s ffrage
would lead to dangerous consequences. —
They therefore either voted with the oppo
sition, or ruale silent protest by refusing
to vote at all. Notwithstanding there was
a disposition on the part of Governor
Swann and his supporters to make an un
fair use rf their power to carry their ends,
and the defi-ar of their machinations was
j cause for satisfaction, one cannot help
feeling that tin* defeai of the Republican*
at Baltimore is aNo a just retribution for
; their misconduct.
The moral thus drawn by a Radical pa
per comes, perhaps, with better grace
from it, than from us. t

The deci-ion of Judge Bartol, of the
Court ■ f Appeals, in reference to the habeas
corpus gu d out bv the Sln-riflFand n.-wiv
appointed Police Commissioners, who had
been mprisoned hv Judge Bond, of the
Criminal Court, war rendered yesterday
and not only fdlv sustains f he action of ths
Governor in appointing the Commission
ers. hut administers a scathing rebuke to
the petty tvrant in the f ourt below for his
infamous course. Judge Bartol reviews
the whole case, and says that the course
of Bond was wholly unwarranted, and that
his order for th ir arrest and impiisonnn-n.
was totally without legal authority. The
Jnge also di-eides that Messrs. Young and
Yalliant, the new ap, ointees, were at Up
time, of their arrest, and are now, the duly
and legallv appointed l'olioe Commission
ers of the City of Baltimore, and that tbcv
arp rightfully ent tl- dto xercise all the
functions of thp office without interference
from anv quarter."
This decssion is fi !, and- places Judge
Bond and his aider* and abetters of the
Radical faction in anything hut an enviable
position, By imprisoning ihe Sh--riff and
Police Commissioners, these lawless and
tyrannical scoim-lre's expected to carry the
election beyond a doubt in the city, and
perpetuate their ilbgotten power in the
State. But they were sadlv disappointed
in their calculation. They not ot ly lost
the election, although the election officers
were all of their own kidney,but the mea' a
resorted to by them lor the purpose of car
ryiug out their nefarious scheme—the im
prisonment of the Police Commissioners—
has been judiciously condemned and they
will henceforth only excite the contempt
and loathing which they so richly deserve.
As to Hugh liond, rho petty Judicial ty
rant, he had better make haste to resign
the position which he disgraces before the
Legislature ejects htm fr-m office. That
they wdl ai d ought to do so,does not admit
of a doubt. His days as a Judge are num
bered, and his character will be loaded
with infamy for all time to come — lntel.
ECONOMY IS WEALTH.— There is noth
ing which goes so far towards placing young
people beyond the reach of poverty, as
proper economy in the management of
household affairs. It matters not wheth-T
a innn fti dishes little or much in his family
if there is en inued leakage in parlor, it
run- way, • knows not how, and that dt
nio War cries "Mod' like the horse
leech's daughter, till he that provides has
no more to give. It is the husband's duty
to bring into the house, and it is the duiy
ot the wife to see that none goes wrongful
ly ort of it.
A man gets a wife to look after his af:
fairs, and to assist him in his journey thro'
life ; to educate and prepare his children
for a proper station in life. The husband's
interests should be the wife's care, and tier
greatest ambition to carry her no farther
than his welfare and happiness, together
with that of tier children. This should be
her sole aim, and the theatre of her exploits
in the bosom o: her family; where she may
do as much toward making a fortune as he
can in the counting room or workshop. It
is not the money earned that makes the
man wealthy,it is what he saves from his
earnings Self gratification in dress, or
indulgence in app-tite, or getting hand
sO'T.cr fnrniture, or outci tabling more com
pany than his purse will allow, are equal
ly pernicious.
In the sth and 6th wards of Detroit the
Radicals returned a surplus of votes, which
compelled the board of canvassers to throw
the whole vote ot both wards out. This, to
the'mortifi'-ation of the Rads, elects the
whole Democratic County and legislative
tickets.
1 Brick roncroy la a Law-celt.
The editor of the La Crosse Democrat,
who gets-up a very spiejr newspaper, has
lately b6t b enjoythg the luxury of a law
fait of 5 which he gives the following ac
count:
Monday forenoon th re came off before
Police Judge Hubbard, in this city, anoth
er law-suit, the particulars of which are as
follows:
I Keinbtrdt Hendrick, on the 17th of Sep
tember, brought suit against 44 Brick'' pom
eroy, to recover pay for two roosters shot
• bv the defendant with a revolver, the chick
ens belonging to thi-|plaint-ff,to the vslueof
fifty cents each Through the kindness of
the judg'* the case has been adjourned from
week to week, till the return of the defend
ant fiora an electioneering tour in Indiana.
This morning the case came off, Ex Mayor,
Hon. James 1. Lvnden, b<ing the counsel
; for the prosecution, the defendant appear
ing in his own defence.
The court room was crowded, for the
idea of trying an editor for stealing chick -
, ens was a novelty. The plaintiff brought
! in his bill, swore to its correctness, testified
that he owned the chickens ; that they were
. raised by a hen. belonging to him ; that he
; saw the defendant shoot them; that he han
repeatedly asked the defendent to pav for
them; and failing to get pay or satisfac
tion he was compelled to bring suit, and
asked for judgment of one dollar and costs
The defendant admitted shooting the
i chickens, and proved by four reliable wit
nesses th - following facta :
In April, 1806, the def-ndant owned a
fast mnning track mare, ' Kitty," which
animal was kept in a stable hired by him,
"and cared for Ly one of his employers.—
Through a little hole in the barn or stable
i the plaintiff's hens would flv in and eat
• oats intended forthe mare 44 Kitty.'" and ->n
| the approach ot any one wou'd flv out. In
an old barrel in the stadle, one of the hens
J a black one, made her nest, laid thir'een
eggs th- rein, and proceeded to rais*- a fam
ily. When the hen got r-aly to set. the
j defendant instructed the hoy who took care
; of his mare to go down town, purchase thir
teen eggs of T. W. Robinson & Co , gro
| cers, and put them in the ne,t. first r -mov
ing the othei eggs. The bov did so a*
was proved lie then personally drove
the hen ont ofthe stable a dozen times or
more—lie tried to make her leave—-do
would not, hut proceeded to incubate his
eggs, duly bought and paid for, without
bis consent, 'eave or license, after repeated
efforts on his part and by his agents to have
her vacate his premises. And farther, when
the hen had hatched his eggs, she ran away
wit • his chickens, eleven in number, two
eggs not producing chickens. To her ser
vices be hrnnght an offset the use of stable
and board bill in the shape of oats -h.-
charged her with the two eggs she spoiled,
and demanded judgment for the balance of
the flock, nine in number, at fiftv cents
each And he proved that ftie
chickens did not belong to that hen, as ah<
was black, while the chickens were red ad
speckled ! Henricks has sued all Ids neigh
bors for some little trifling matter, half a
dozen times each during past two yearn.
After a patient hearing, the judge decided
that there was no cause of action, and that
the d fendant. was entitled to the other
nine chickens, ond the plaintiff must pay
the costs of the suit, amounting to seven
teen dollars and thirty-seven and a half
cents.
