A Dublin jury recently gare two hundred pounds damages and costs, against Dr. LD?DWOET, a schoolmaster, for excessive punishment of a boy named PATNE. A private club in Providence has undertaken the .work of rop-iblishing, in th? handsomest style, tho completo works of BOOBS WILLIAMS. The entire strength of the army in Ireland at present is 21,700 officers and men. Last January the number was slightly greater. Only six planters made sugar this season in the Parish of St. Mary, La. The yield ia stated at five hundred hhda.-about one hundredth part of that of former years, A cargo .of wheat was lately sent from Sail Fran? cisco to Philadelphia at a less rate of transporta? tion than tho samo amount of grain can be taken from Chicago to Philadelphia. The University of Virginiaia still encumbered -with a debt, which may bo set down in round numbers at $40,000. Apart from this indebtedness, the future of the University wears a cheerful as? pect. Bids will be received till tho first of April next for the lease of the New Orleans, Jaokson and Great Northern Railroad, from Canton, Mississip? pi, to tho Tennessoo Biver, for a term not oxcced ing thirty years. Tho rope-walker, BLOND?N, has just finished a successful tour on the Continent. At Bordeaux his performance was greeted by a storm of enthu? siasm seldom meted to any artist. He goes to Paris for the Exhibition of 1867. Prof. HALL, of Albany, who is putting together the bones of the Cohoes Mastadon, says it will stand about ton feet high, and fifteen feet in length; that it existed some 25,000 years sgo, and that the Hudson River has made all its channel since the monster bred and died. 8t. Augustine is said to bo a delightful resi? dence. The Examiner, of that place, speaking of the great crop of oranges, says that 66.000 will he picked from one grove. A gentloman there writes - that "they bang in rich yellow clusters from trees - on the sides of the streets, and the soft air is re? dolent of their rich perfume." Tho Ber. JOEL LDCDSLET, the man who whipped bis child, three years old, . to death, bocauso it would not say its prayers, last June, in the town of Shelby, Orleans county, New Y^rk, was tried at Albion on the charge of manslaughter, and con? victed of murder in the* second degree. Tho ex? citement over the trial was great throughout Or? leans county. They are about cutting a canal in California that will irrigate over a million of acres of waste land in several of the conn tie a of that State. The canal will not only furnish a supply of water for the land, but will serve also aa a highway for carrying the products of the land to the San Francisco market We understand, says the Wheeling Register, that measures are being taken to form a new county out of parts of Marion, Wetzel and Monongalia. It is said that by uniting the contiguous portions of these counties, a fine county, enclosed by natu? ral boundaries, and containing about five hundred . square miles of territory, can be formed. The number, of boats totally or partially destroy? ed on the Western waters during the year 18S6 waa U9. Of those totally destroyed 50 were, lost by sinking, 37 by fire, and 7 by explosion. Partially destroyed-by sinking 21; by explosion 4. Esti? mated losses -in boats, $2,908,500; in cargoes, $3, 620,000~total, $4,443,500. Many of tho disasters were accompanied with a heavy loss of lifo. The Supreme Court of Illinois has oaused great commotion , among Chicago* merchants by a de? cision to the effect that wai chouse receipts are not negotiable. Hitherto they have passed from hand to hand among commission men, and were readily purchased by banks th? same as bank notes or other negotiable paper. The result of the decision will be, that tho transfer of all grain or other pro? perty in war oh ona o.will have actually to be made, or the transaction.conveys no responsibility. A Catholic clergyman in Worcester, Massachu? setts, bas the oldest book in New England. Its title ia "Pantheologia," and it was printed in 1470. I The Ber. Dom. BAHES, a Dominician of Pisa, Tice-Chaneellor of the Eora an Church and Bishop of Maguelon, was its author. He died in 1249. It is a large, heavy volume, oound in boards half an inch thick, covered with leather and protected by heavy brass knobs and clasps, it is printed ia "black letter," and is in a good state of preserva? tion. A letter from New York to tho Philadelphia Ledger - says : "The Commissioners of Public Charities are out with a touching appeal on behalf of the poor. They say their office in Chambers street is crowded from morning till night with ap? plications for aid, which cannot be responded to for want of means. There i? moro downright destitution among us, just at present, than has been known for many years, owing to the decline of business and general scarcity of employment. Many young men who bave come from Now Eng? land in search of work have been sent back homo by tho Commissi oners." After receiving his pardon, ex-Governor T. O. MOOEE, of Louisiana, visited his plantation the first time for several years. While riding ovor the grounds, and when passing the site of his once large sugar-house, he startled three deer, which were lying in their beds in apparent security. In 1850 there were few more highly cultivated and productive estates than Governor HOOKE'S. His income from sugar and cotton alone exceeded $100, 000 a year. Nothing is left of this splendid estate but the land and tho charred and blackened ruins of the once elegant, spacious and comfortable buildings. The annual Statistical Begister of New Zealand has just been published. The advance of tho eolony has lately been very rapid-more rapid, proportionally, than that of any other colony but Queensland. At the presont time the population may 7 safely counted at 290,000, exclusive of Maorieb and military. Less than ten years ago New Zealand ranked fourth in importance in the hst of Australian colonies; it now ranks third. The jesuit is due to the attraction of gold. The total value of the gold exported in 1865 was ?2,225,474. The value of the wool exported was ?1,141,760. The revenue for 1865 amounted to ?936,945, an in? crease of nearly 15 per cent, on the previous year. A Liverpool paper speaks of the diversion of labor to other countries, caused by the high wages ?xaeted in Liverpool, as follows : "Recently, orders to a large extent for locomotive engines havo been executed in .Belgium and Switzerland, that formerly would hav* been executed hero; and it is believed that the day is not far distant when foreigners will undersell us on our own soil, if they are not actually doing it now. This high rate of iemunoration is telling on the London shipbuilding trade; for on tho Thames no fowor than 27,000 men connected with that craft are at present out of employment. The masters cannot compete with the low scale of wages paid to work? men in other countries." The Cmc?nuati Chamber of Commerce has pass- : ed very emphatic resolutions endorsing the cental system, which has been adopted by the principal cities of the North, and is to go into operation on the 1st of March next. This is a long step toward the much needed decimal system of weights and : measures. The contal is ono hundred pounds of . anything ; and weights will hereafter bo reckoned i in centals and pounds instead of bushels, pecks, i quarts, <fcc. In accordance with this system, the i weight of the barrel of flour, on recommendation ? of the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce, will hereaf? ter be two centals (nat) instead of one hundred and ninety-six pounds. Those who remember what < a task it was to learn how many pounds of any? thing make a bushel, will not regret the abolition of so uncertain a standard. Shreveport, in the State of Louisiana, must be a delightful place to live in. The Southwestern, a paper published there, under the head of "A Good Day for Killing," says : "Last Thursday was a good day for 'shuffling off this mortal coil' in thia city. Early in the morning a worthy young man, olerking in a store at Mugginsville, accidentally dropped his revolver which caused it to go off, shooting him through tho body, causing instant death. Later in the day a freedman and his son got into a quarrel about a mule, which resulted in the son shooting his father through the head, Jp?lHng h'"i instantly. Late that night a gambler, called 'BANCO' stabbed to the heart a man named T?BNZH? at a ball given by tho nymphs dupave on the corner of Edward and Texas streets. TUSSES Rogered a day or two and expired."

TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 29, 1867. TUB NEW FRIENDS OF THE CONSTI? TUTION. The Constitution of tho United States, declared not many years ago as "a league with hell and a covenant with death," by WILLIAM LLOYD GABBI SON and his coagitaters, is now called in to sub? serve thc purpose of appeasing their furious passions. But five years ago the Constitution was contemned and spurned, a "higher law" directing the conduct of the elect; the written statutes fell short of the requirements of the times, both in re? ligion and in politics: the "higher law" was pro? claimed from tho pulpit, tho press, the rostrum and the forum. Nor oven yet is there any greater reverenco for the fundamental instrument of our government. When the Constitution comos in as a barrier between the party, now in power, and the attainment of th^ir object, it is at once set asido, without the least hesitation or scruple. This has been abundantly proven during the last six years, but never in such open, palpable, and shamelss manner, as during the sessions of the present Congress. But notwithstanding all this, tho very mon that have set tho Constitution at defiance, again and again, now have the assurance rr) rest upon that instrument in justification of t. impeachment schem^'Beibre us is an article on this subject in the New York Independent, by WM. LLOYD GARRI? SON, in which the whole subject is reviewed. He is very much surprised at the timidity of oven many of the "loyal ;" and quotes Article LT, Sec? tion 4, of the Constitution of the United States, providing for the impeachment of tho President." "Hore," he says, is safe anchorage ; all aro in the samo category, and oach is to bo treated according to his deserts, without fear of station, or regard to persons." "Any violent or factious resistance to ite exercise is anti-republican." He then goes on to say, like the Now York Herald, we -quoted a few days since : "Had Consrross been composed of the right ma? terials at tho time, neither James K. Poik nor James Buchanan would have gone unwhipted of lustico. Happily, that body, as now constituted, is omiuontly loyal and patriotic, and represents no political party in tho old sense of party-only and grandly che people, lifted above all selfish cor. aiderationa, and intent on saving the Bepubli from destruction. It has great and eolemn unties to discharge. Ic has attempted nothing in the right direction which the people have not power? fully sustained. It has neither evinced nor cher? ished toward the rebellious sections of the country auy vindictive feelings; but, on the contrary, has carried magnanimity to a questionable limit." "The people," it will bo seen, in Mi*. GARRISON'S sense, means thc Badical majority in the North. That the millions of peoplo, constituting the real majority, though for tho time being in a forced minority,-that they should have any rights, guaranreed by tho Constitution, never seemed to enter Mr. GABEISON'S mind. Yet, if not for the protection of the minority, what aro constitutions for 7. The Executive, Congress^ and the Judiciary, all threo have their existence by virtue of tho Con? stitution; and their eeveral powers and preroga? tives aro defined by that instrument. The threo branches of the Government aro co-ordinate; equal; -neither hoing greater than the others. It is not for one of them to say what is the power or pro? vince of the others. But the prosent Congress, al? most .from the very commencement .of its exis? tence, has been acting in constant violation of this provision. The Supreme Court is now found a barrier to any further progress of Congressional usurpation. Immediately a loud howl is set up, "Away with it I We want not theeo old fogies. Congress is quite competent to decide on the constitutionality of its own aots;" in other words, Congress is the first and lost authority of the land-solo, supreme and irresponsible. The Supreme Court is to bo "re? organized." Already the meddlesome busybodies in Congress have passed an act prescribing tho I qualifications for attorneys in order to practice in that Court; and this in direct contravention to tho pronounced decidion of a majority of that tri? bunal. The powers of tho Executive have been limited and lessened almost every day during the preaeut session, till he cannot even appoint a Postmaster in an obscure country neighborhood without the concurrence of the Sonate; and this approval of the Senate is not, ss was formerly the case, amore matter of form. In other days a rejection, in Ex? ecutive session, was of rare occurrence; now it is the rule. But in order to deprive the President of even tho shadow of patron ago, and prevent him from making temporary appointments, Congress has voted itself iuto perpetual session. If the hands of the Executive are thus fettered, why impeachment ? Why risk tho credit and tho peace of the country on a doubtful party measure ? "Because," says GARRISON, if he continues to oc? cupy the Presidential chair, "it will he in hiB power-veto or no veto-as it is in his heart, to render null and void all legislation for tho South providing for justice and equality. There he Bits, grasping unconstitutional power, bidding defiance to the popular will, recreant to his oath of office, determined to rule or ruin, contemptuous and hos? tile toward Congress, applauded and upheld by all that is treasonable in tho land, detested ai,d feared by all that is loyal, and with vast powers in his hands to carry out his desperate purposes. Given two years more of official life, and what imagina? tion is equal to the task of portraying the confu? sion and wretchedness, the violenoo and blood he will bring upon tho land ? Civil rights bills and constitutional amendments ho will laugh to scorn. So will the whole body of rebels, of whom he is now loader and chief. His guilt is patent to the" whole country. His romoval is called for by every consideration of justice, humanity, patriotism, and constitutional guardianship. Thero is no lack of loyal ?srength in either house of Congress to effect it, and there should bo none of courage." This is the language of tho same fanatic, and in the Bame spirit, wo have boon so long familiar with. Mr. GARRISON finds no difficulty in trans? ferring the vials of his wrath from the late slave? holders to the President and tho "Bebels." One circumstance, however, we must confess, surprises us not a littlo. Mr. GARBISON has al? ways been known as a stern, uncompromising Be publican, and wc doubt Yery much whother tho term loyalty ever came into his mind before Eadi cohBin had au ascendancy in tho Government of tho United States. Now his newspaper articles, and, it ia to bo prosumod, his spoeches, bristle with ' loyal" and "loyally." Wir-1 constitutes this loyalty? Not, surely, attachment to thc Constitu? tion, or the Union, or the Flag. Thoro are many who profess all this, and yet are not considered "loyal" by Mr. GARRISON. Loyalty appears to bo synonymous with Radicalism, Mr. G. Bays "that it will extort menace and howl from tho factious partisans of the President is to be expected; but who would expect thia on the part of any claiming to be loyal ?" But we will now tako our leave of Mr. GARRISON; having only boon beguiled into a passing notico of his vagaries, by seeing him cito thc Constitution in support of a wicked parly measure. Tho Con? stitution is in h:td odor now all over tho North, and its former friends and expounders now faro no better than tho unfortunate raco of live Democrats who ure looked upon ns littlo better than outlaws. There was a time when Massachusetts was proud of DANIEL WEBSTER. Now ono PARTON, an un? scrupulous Bcribbler, is paid for dofaming hi's character in thfrioading literary organ of the coun? try. Tho North American lice ie io, for January, published in Boston, contains a character picture of DANIEL WEBSTER, by PARTON, iu which, with trae hyena instinct, he layB bare thc ghastly skele? ton. To draw the frailties from their dread abodo Bocms to bo this biographer's special aim in all the several works of this character he has publish? ed. In it, he of cour?o finds an opportunity of be? spattering also the memories of CLAY and CAL? HOUN. WEBSTER is hated by the entire Republican party,-they cannot forgive his roverence for tho Constitution. He saw thc riso of Radicalism, and well understood and predicted its designs. He said : "If these infernal fanatics and abolitionists ever get the power in their hands, thoy will over-ride the Constitution, set the Supremo Court at de naneo, chango and make laws to suit themselves, livy violout hands on thoao who differ with them in 01.inion and dare question their ?ifallibility, and finally Ujmkrapt the country and deluge it in blood." . " . Thia is only ono of many such prophetic utter? ances, to bo found in WEUSTEn's speeches and writings. And these tin " vdicals will not forgive. And accordingly wo find PATTON'S disgraceful biography copied all over the North, and highly commended even by journals laying claim to re? spectability. O Tempora ! THE Hound Table says that the London Specta? tor remarks that young Mr. BENNETT has been courteously received in London-as though he had no connection whatevor with the Now York Herald.
