%W AGE RECORD. Friday, July 5, 1867. AO - Congress re-assembled at Washington ou Wedneetby. A quorum was confidently expected in both Houses 7-. Ito.. The Republican State Convention Which met at Williamsport on Wednesday of last week, nominated Hon. • Henry W. ‘Villiams, of Pittsburg, is vandidate'for Jus tice of the Supreme-Court. trDesiatetes received in NYrashlizgton by the Austrian Minister, Secretary Wells, and others, represent that Maximilian was executed*by the Literals on the 19th ult. No Particulars arc given. No doubt the shooting of Maximilian will arouse considerable indignation in Yin. rope, but it is not likely •that Austria or France wilt be induced to resume the war on account of it. He ventured his life for a great stake, and lost it. Fetter' men have 1 been summarily shot in Mexico by his own orders. Juarez is now in possession of all 111exico_exceptiera_erna, and has_powerful and victorious armies is all parts of the re public.

PROSCMING MuusTzits.—The copper :bead, Johnson•izcd Marylaud State Consti- tationa sting at-Annapolis for some time, recently itwo ng other foolish and diabolic doings en acted a sections excluding forever from_ the halls of legislation all ministers and religious IleacherF. A u:etuber cf the Convention, Mr. Steil. dert, in advocating the exclusion of the cler ysaitl—thatubalit-ion—could ncverhale_ =N= " been for the ministry. They inculcated the doctrines into women and children at 44 the breast as being religious doctrines," and, true to-his instincts, concluded by Showing his spite against public schools as one - oftir • rcraurters of-liberal-idea: "Estab- lish you primary schools, and you would have New England women to teach false • doctrines in them!" Thus (says the American) we might go on and cite other specimens of the road zeal of these men,-but-let these_suflice. A few members, seeing the folly and injustice of the prescrip• Live measure against the clergy, strove to de feat it, but all to no purpose. The majority, knowing full well that the spirit of Christian ity is the very germ and - spring of true freed ow and human rigys, which they cordially hate, voted to exclude from the balls of legis ation all reAgio_us teachers, in these . words: -Section 7. No minister or preacher of " the Gospel of any religious creed or de nomination shall be eligible as Senator or NIL gate." Thus it appears that tbcse gentlemen, who make such high claims of possessing and representing all the intelligence, all the re finement and good breeding, and, we believe, all the true religion in the State, practieally declare that the influence therehiefly dread in the legislation of the State is that of re ligious preachers and ministers! No mathr how immoral, bow ignorant—no matte'r what be a man's profession or what he teaehes, so that he be not a preacher or teacher of religion, ho can have free access to the halls of legislation; but no minister, preacher or teacher of the Gospel must ever presume to participate in the making of laws for Mary. land? We hope the friends of religions free 'an will ponder this action of the Constitu tional Convention, and when the time comes show, by their votes at the ballot-box j how they esteem the work of these men, who ate now attempting to revolutionize the State backward and revive the sway of the enemies of human freedotti. Look out for wolves in sheep's cloth ing, who are traveling about the country in the capacity of agents for a work called "Youth's History of the Great Civil War." This book, says an exchange, is one of the vilest of treasonable compilations, and is the same that was originally published in the tloutb, just after the close of the war, under ?the title of "The Lost Cause." We warn all kraion luen . against encouraging the sale of this book. Lot those purchase it who mourn over the "lost cause," while we move steadi ly forward in the come of freedom, humani- I y and education, until the beacon fires of liberty and progress shall burn brightly from every hill top, illuminating every valley and cheering every heart, rendering our beloved country a haven of happy rest Sin the down trodden and oppressed of everynation.

DONT DO IT.—Some families in town are in the habit of removing the filth which ac• cumulates about their premises either to the alley or the street. We have noticed this more particularly o n Leitersburg Street, which must be annoying to the more cleanly disposed. To have clean streets and alleys. such rubbish should be gathered together and burped. DEAD.—Jacob Whettel who sometime since had one of his legs badly broken from a tree falling on him, and which was after- wards amputated, died on Tuesday last.

Kimble, took place in the Town Hall, on Friday evening last. The Hall, as usual. was a little tos much crowded for com. fort, but, we.learn the exercises were of the most interesting character and highly oredi table to the young ladies as teachers. The Misses Kemble have been teaching in this place for perhaps twelve or fifteen months and during this time have given very gener al satisfaction. The "Linden School" has therefore become an institution in our coin. munity that should by no means be dispens ed with, and the heads of families should in terest themselves to retain the services of these acoomplished lady teachers, by in- creasing the number of pupils, that .they may be more amply rewarded for their arduous labors in the future.• HANDSOME PRESENT.-A few days since we were shown a very handsome Communion Service consisting of plates, goblets eto., which has been 'resented to the Presbyte- - rian - congregation - of - this - plaz.e ) - by - Miss - : Lou Douglass, of Chamborsburg, intended w e presume for the new church, which will be dedicated sometime about the first of Sep- T - the - 6 Ilitifeli - lieefe - IVIII - dr - auttless well appleciate - th - e-spirit-of kindness and liberality which prompted so valuable an offering.

SODTIIERN RADICALS —The Radical par ty of the South consists of the negroes, and here and there an unprincipled white man who is willing to sell his manhood for filthy lucre's sake.

M.--There can be no doubt whatever that Maximilian; the ex• Emperor of Mexico, bas been shot by the Liberals. An Austrian man-of-war arrived at this port this morning, by way of the Southwest Pass, bringing dispatches for the Austrian Government. She was draped in mourning, and had all her flags at hal-mast.

WASHINGTON, Juno 30.—The Austrian Minister, last night; received a despatch from the commander of an Austrian vessel, which has been lying at Vera Cruz, stating simply that Maximilian had boot' shot at seven o'clock on the morning of the axle teenth of June, and that Juraez has refused to surrender his remains to his friends.
