PARIS, January 19.- The Duke de Persigny,
in a letter, objects to a bill recently proposed
for tbe government ot the press of the coun?
try. He thinks the press will be ?allowed too
much latitude. While be would favor a bill
designed to give more freedom to the press,
the obvious tendency of the provisions of the
preaent bill would be to leave the journals free
to assail public and private character.

The case reported below is from Louisiana.
Armstrong worked his foundry in New Orleans
while General Lovell commanded, making shot
and shell for the Confederates. When New
Orleans was captured, Armstrong took the
oath and continued working his foundry, which
was afterward seized and condemned. Arm?
strong's pardon is ?lated in Maroh. The Arm?
strong foundry case landing in the Supreme
Court is very much contested. L Tho Attor?
ney-General moved to dismiss the appeal, in?
sisting that the case should be here ou a writ
of error. In this he was overruled. 2. Arm?
strong moved to file a plea of pardon, which
the Attorney-General resented. Leave was
given, after agumeuu, to file the plea, so that
the case will now be heard on its merits, and
will come up next week. The Attorney-Gen?
eral represents the United States, and the
Hon. Humphrey Marshall, of Kentucky, ap?
pears for Armstrong. The case is considered a
leading one which.[must decide the points :
1st. Whether a seizure and capture are the
same. 2d. Whether properly hubie to capture
and prize embraces land held by private title.
3d. Whether property tainted by the guilty
consent of the owner ia released by his pardon
ofter condemnation and before a sale. Uh.
Whether a f?-izen shut up in a place occupied
by Confederate arms cm be responsible to the
United States for a breach of municipal law
under command of a military force of the Con?
federates. 5tb. Whether the constitution
operates with its guarantee upon him when
the United States reoover the city.

DEATH OE JOHN JACOB ASTOE.-Th? second 1
eon of John Jacob Astor, the millionaire, died ?
in New York last Friday, in the sixty-ilfth yeur ,
of his age. Since his seventeenth yet r he has
b2cu of feeble intellect, owing to a lall upon !
his head at that time. The Tribune s ivs :
The deceased, whose name was Jo in Jacob
Astor, was occasionally to bo seen upon the
stroets, under the care of an attendant, and two ]
years ago he was sent to Europe in th 3 hope of .
recovering his failing health. A good many '
ears ago, his father, after vain efforts to effect .
is restoration, built on Fourteenth-street, near j
tho North River, a mansion for his ace jmmoda- '
tion. It occupies one eu tire block, and is sur- ,
rounded by a high fence, to prevent prying and ,
curious eyes from seeing the movements of the ?
occupants. On the death of the fath< ir, one of ?
the principal items in bis will was a provision i
intrusting the younger John Jacob to the care (
of a physician m whom he placed impl cit confi?
dence, and tse tiling a handsome income upon the :
Fourteenth-t? treet mansion. His brother, the in
iensdy active business man, Wm. B. Astor, has,
ever since his father's death, neglected noth?
ing that could ameliorate the condition of his 1
UD fortuna te rela tive. The father of these As- i
tors wai one of the most energetic and suc?
cessful of what is called "sell-made men." 1
He was the son of a German peasant near
Heidelberg, and sailed for Baltimore in 1783,
taking with him a few hundred dollars' worth ;
of musical instruments to dispose of on com?
mission. He became acquainted on tie voyage
with a furrier, vrho advised nim to exchange his
musical instruments for furs, which he did,
and from this began his sys tem at ii : devotion
to the fur "trade, which he conducted with such
extraordinary sagacity, energy and success,
that when be died in 1848, bis fortuna was esti?
mated at $20,000,000, at that time the largest
sum ever accumulated by individual enterprise
in America. The increasing value of the real
estate bequeathed by Mr. Astor to bis sons,
and careful management, have of course great?
ly enhanced the fortune they inherited, though
none of them have given evidence ot wonder?
ful talent for accumulation.
i'fae New York Commercial Advertiser, in tho
course of an article on horBe-back riding saya
that the best riders in the world ride with short
stirrups. The seat maintained by one of our
city cavaliers, with his straight loira and toes
resting in a narrow strip of metal in hen of a
stirrup, would not serve him Baldy in the
rough work of a cavalry campaign. He could
not swing a sword, hurl a lance, or throw a
lasso from the feeble foothold thus maintained
with any more effect than a child cr a woman.
The Cossacks, Bedouins, Mexicanj, and Co?
manches, all ride with short, very short stir?
rups. And the stirrups of Bom 3 Mexican
rancheros are huge wooden things, weighing
several pounds. The saddle is equally heavy,
aB it had need be when its pommel sustains
the strain of a bulla whole weight and strength
on the lasso that is fastened to it.
THE CONVENTION.
CONVENTION HELD BY AUTHORITY OF THE
RECONSTRUCTION LAWS OF CONOBES8,
TO FRAME A STATE CONSTITUTION
FOR SOUTH CAROLINA.
The proceedings yesterday possess little or
no general interest. A brisk fight took place
between a small minority, led by B. F. Whitte
more, opposed to a resolution asking General
Canby to suspend all sales of property under
execution for three months, and a large ma?
jority, under the championship of F. J. Moses,
Tr. A good deal of manceuvoring took plaoe
to get th? advantage of position, and when thc
question comes up to-day, we presume the
racket of heavy artillery and small arms wilf j
be tremendous.
Matters of finance are evidently of deep in?
terest to the majority of delegates, and they
will continue to grow more so for the next
week, and we pres?me it will be impossible,
from the character of the investigation upon
which the Finance Committee has entered, to
secure all the information required to make
their report before that time.
It is understood that most of the commit?
tees are waiting until the members have fin?
ished firing off prop os it io aa, after which they
will begin work in earnest.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTION
SEVENTH DAY.
The convention was called to order at 12 M.
Prayer by F. L. Cardoza (colored), of Charles?
ton.
The chair announced that the first business
in order was reports from Standing Commit?
tees.
CONTRACTS BASES ON SLAVES.
C. C. Bowen, from the Committee on Judici?
ary, to whom was referred a resolution in re?
gard to contracts, the consideration for which
was the aale of slaves, reported an ordinance :
First. All contracts, whether under seal or not,
the consideration for which is the sale of slaves,
ue null and void and of DO effect. Second. No
suit at law or equity shall be commenced or
prosecuted on such contracts, and proceedings
lot the satisfaction and payment of deorees
which hare been recorded, entered or enrolled,
ure hereby prohibited. Third. All orders with
reference to such contracts which may at any
time have been made in any court of this State,
sitber of law or equity, whereby any property
is' held subject to decision as to the validity of
auch contracts, aro also hereby declared null
and void and of no effect.
The President Btatod that in bis opinion the
term "ordinance" is synonimous with "bill,"
is used in the legislature, and according to
the rules of the House of Bepresentatives,
which bad been adopted for the guidance of I
the convention, no bill can be passed until it
bas been read three times. He therefore de
sided that tho ordinance bad boen read the
Brat time. ,
The President also requested the convention
to appeal from any decisions of the chair with
which they might not agree, and thus assume
the responsibility of the samo.
WORE FOB THE PBINTEB.
W. McKinlay (colored), of Charleston, mov
3d. that all mutters coming before the conven?
tion, in the shape of ordinance or resolution,
ivhen reported from a committee, should be
printed.
B. G. Donaldson (white), of Chesterfield,
iropoBod as an amondmeiit that ordinances
ma resolutions Bhould only be printed on the
second reading.
.Somo discussion ensued, and the amcnd
nent was disagreed to.
The question was then taken on tho original
notion, and decided m the affirmative.
PENITENTIARY AFFAIRS.
C. C. Bowen (white), from the Committee on
he Judiciair, to whom was referred a resolu
ion appointing a committee of five to invosti
S,te affairs in tho penitentiary, reported that
ey bad bad the same under consideration,
md wero of opinion that tho Bubject matter is
>eyond the jurisdiction of the convention, that
nstitutiou being under the control of the pro?
visional authorities of the State, and the su?
pervision of the Commanding General. They
.hereforo recommend that it be referred to
Major-General Canby, with the request that
:ho case receive from bim tho necessary invos
;igatiOD.
JTTBOBS.
C. C. Bowen, from the same committeo to
tvhom had been referred a resolution relating
! o jurors, reported it back with the recom?
mendation that it be referred to tho Commit?
tee on Legislative Provisions of tho Constitu?
tion. Not adopted.
FINANCES.
N. G. Parker (white), from the Committee
m Finance, reported that they had under con?
sideration the resolution relating to bills re?
ceivable, and, being in correspondence with
Oovernor Orr and General Canby, desired
further time. Further timo was gi anted.
S. A. Swails (colored), from tho Committee
on Bules and Regulations, reported a series of
rules, which were read, and one hundred
copies ordered to be printed for the usc of the
convention.
A NEW DISTRICT.
Dr. L. B. Johnson (white), of Pickeus, from
% select committee, reported an ordinance di?
viding Pickens into two districts-one to be
kuov> n by its original name, the other to be
sailed Oconee.
The ordinance appoints commissioners io se?
lect proper sites, lay out a new town for a court
bouse, plan buildings tor courthouse and jail,
sell property, apply proceeds, and make titles
to purchasers of lots in the name of the State.
J. J. Wright (colored), moved that the report
ot the committee be returned until th - assem?
bling of the legislature, aud that then it be
referred to that body.
Dr. Johnson hoped the motion would not pre?
vail. The division of Pickens District bad
been anxiously desired by its citizens for many
years. The people have sent a strong petition
to this end, signed by the officers of the court
-the clerk, sherill', commissioner in equity,
judge, all the lawyers, and other prominent
uitizens. There are only thirteen families re
aiding in Pickens Courthouse, moBt of them
officers of the district. Oconee District, when
the division takes place, will contain one thou?
sand four hundred and six square miles. Pick
Bns District will contain one thousand two hun?
dred and twenty-five square miles.
On motion of N. G. Parkor, the motton to
refer was laid on the table.
A PENAL CODE AND BEFOBM F ABM.
B. F. Whittemore (white), offered the fol?
lowing, which was referred to the Committee
on Legislative Provisions of the Constitution :
Resolved, That it shall be the duty of the
General Assembly, as soon as circumstances
will permit, to form a penal code founded on
principles of reformation and not vindictivo
justice. Also to provide one or more farms, to
be an asylum for those persons who by reason
of age, infirmity, or other misfortune, may
have a claim upon the aid and benevolence of
society, on such principles that such persons
may therein find employment aud every rea?
sonable comfort, and thereby lose every de?
grading sense of dependence.
THE SUPREME COU BT.
J. K. Jillson (white), of Kershaw, offered a
resolution to reorganize the Supreme and such
Inferior Courts as tho legislature may estab?
lish. It provides for the election of the Judges
by the two houses of the legislature in "grand
committee," each Judge to hold his office
until it is declared vacant by act of the
General Assembly; and provide 3 further
as to the manner m which vacancies aro to bo
filled when they occur from any cause, &c.
Referred to the Committee on tho Judiciary.
R. G. Donaldson (white), of Chesterfield,
objected to the introduction of resolutions of J
this character. Committees lind been appoint?
ed to prepare sucb amendments to tho consti?
tution as might be deemed necessary, und lie
thought it was not flattering to tho good sense
of the members to be continually offering sug?
gestions to these committees. He hoped the
convention would discountenance them.
THE SPECIAL ORDER.
The hour having arrived for tho considera?
tion of t ic special order, which was the iavor
able report of tho Committee on the Executive
on the resolution to petition General Canby to
suBpend sales of property under execution for
three months,
B. F. Whittemore mored that the special
order be discharged.
F. J. Hosea opposed it on the ground that
if this important question was postponed from
day to day, the Brat of February, which is
aafesday throughout the State, would be upon
us, and the object of legislation would be de?
feated.
A rapping debate ensued, which was par?
ticipated in by Whittemore, Whipper, Langley,
Chamberlain and others, and an attempt made
to kill the question by parliamentary tactics.
The yeas and nays were taken three times,
once on a motion to postpone discussion till
to-morrow, which resulted-ayes 46, nays 68,
and another time on a motion of T. J. Robert?
son (white), of Columbia, to postpone indefi?
nitely-ayes 24, nays 86; and a third time, on
motion of Dill, to lay on the table-ayes 28,
naya 82.
Tnis species of warfare upon each other by
the respective parties in the convention was
kept up an hour or two, when the hour of ad?
journment arrived, and the matter was left un?
finished for to-morrow's consideration.
A STEAM DIAN.
A Wonderful InTentlon.
The Newark (N. J.) Advertiser thus describes
an extraordinary monster, which we have al?
ready briefly n Maced :
"Mr. Zadock Deddrick, a Newark machinist,
has invented a man; one that, moved by steam,
! will perform some of the most important func?
tions of humanity; that will, standing upright,
walk orjr&, as be is bid, in any direction, and
at almost any rate of speed, drawing after hun
a load whose weight would tax the strength of
three stout draught horses. The history of
this curious invention is as follows: Six years
ago Mr. Deddrick, the inventor, who ia at pre?
sent but twenty-two years of age, conceived tho
novol idea of constructing a man that should
receive its vitality from a perpetual motion ma?
chine. The idea was based on the well known
mechanical principle that if a heavy weight be
placed at the top of an upright, slightly inclin?
ed from a vertical, gravitation will tend to pro?
duce a horizontal as well as vertical motion.
The project was not successful. However, by
observing carefully the cause of the failure,
preserving and perfecting the man form, and
by substituting steam in place of the perpetual
motion machine, the present success was at?
tained.
.'The man stands seven feet and nine inches
high, the other dimensions of the body being
correctly proportioned, making him a second
Daniel Lambert, by which name he ia face?
tiously spoken of among the workmen. He
weighs Ave hundred pounds. Steam is gene?
rated in trie body or trank, which is nothing
but a three-horse power engine, like tnoBe
used io our steam fire engines. The legs
which support it ore complicated and wonder?
ful. The steps are taken very naturally and
quite easily. Aa the body is thrown forward
upon the advanced foot, the other is lifted
from tho ground by a spring and is thrown
forward by the steam. Bach step or pace
advances the body two feet, and every revolu?
tion of the engine produces four paces. As
tbe engine is capable of making more than a
thousand revolutions a minute, it would get
over ground, on this calculation, at the rate of.
little more than a mile a minute. As this
would bo working the less faster than would
be safe on uneven ground or on Broad-street
cobble stones, it is proposed to run the engine
at the rate of ?vo hundred revolutions per
minute, which would walk tho man at the
modest speed of half a mile a minute.
"The fellow is attached to a common rocka?
way carriage, the shafts of which soire to sup?
port him in a vertical position. These shafts
are two bars of iron, fastened in the usual man?
ner in tho front of the carriage, andar? curved
so as to be joined to a circular sustaining bar,
which passes around the waist, Uko a girth,
and in which tho mon moves so as to face in
any direction. Besides these motions, machin?
ery has been arranged by which the figure can
be thrown backward or forward from n vertical
noarly forty-five degrees. This is done in order
to enable it to ascend or descend all grades.
To the soles of tho feet spikes or corks are fixed
which effectually prevent slipping. The whole
affair is so firmly sustained by the shafts, and
bas so excellent a foothold, that two men are
unable to push it over, or in "any way throw it
down. In order to enable it to stop quickly, it
is provided with two appliances, ono of which
will, as before slated, throw it backward from
the vertical, while thc other bends the knees in
a direction opposite to the natural position.
"An upright post, which is arranged in front
of the dash-board, and within easy reach of
the front seats, sustains two miniature pilot
wheels, by tho turning of which these various
motions and evolutions are directed. It is ex?
pected that a sufficiently largo amount of coal
can bo stowed away under the back seat of the
carriage to work the engine tor a day, and
enough water in a tank under the front seat to
last half a day.
"In order to provent the 'giant' from fright?
ening horses by his wonderful appearance, Mr.
DeddricK intends to clotho it, and give it, aa
nearly aa possiblo, a likeness to the rest of hu?
manity. J he boiler and such parts as are un?
necessarily heated, will be encased in felt or
woollen undergarments. Pantaloons, coat and
vest, of the latest styles, are provided When?
ever the fires need coaling, which is ev * two
or three hours, the driver stops tho ma te,
descends from his seat, unbuttons 'Dan V
vest, opens a door, shovels in the fuel, butt,
up the vest and drives on. On the back, b. <
tween the shoulders, the steam cocks am.
gauges are placed. As these would cause the
coat to set awkwardly a knapsack has been
frovided that completely covers thom. A blau?
et neatly rolled up and placed on top of the
knapsack perfects the delusion. Tho face ia
moulded into a cheerful! countenance of white
enamel, which contra?is well with the dark hair
and moustache. A sheet-iron bat with a gauge
top acta as a smoko-st&ok.
"The cost of this 'first man' is two thousand
dollpra, though the makers, Messrs. Deddrick
& Graos, expeot to manufacture succeeding
ones, warranted to run a year without repair,
for three hundred dollars. Tho same parties
expeot to contract, on the same principle,

MUTIN y AND M?BDEB AT SEA-A HORRIBLE
AFFAIR.-The captain of the brigantine S.
Stront, which arrived at this port on Saturday,
from Turk's Island, with a cargo of salt, dis?
closes a horrible tale ol mutiny and murder at
jsa. His statements are confirmed by tho affi?
davits of the second mate of the brig and a sea?
man, taken before the United States Consul at
Turk's Island. It seems that on the afternoon
of the 21st of December last, as the vessel was
hoing got under weigh to leave th? harbor of
St. Thomas for Turk's Island, the captain
went forward to assist the men, when he was
ordered?off by J. K. Lambert, the first mate,
and afterwards struck by him so severe a blow
that ho was knocked down. In filling his
head struck against the hatch combings, and
tho cons2queuce was a severe gash. He was
taken up in an ineensiblo condition and his
wounds were dressed. On tho Monday night
followi 'g that, the 23d, while the second mate
was asleep on dock and the captain below in
his cabin, Lambert went forward to whore a
seaman named J. Henry Parker was stationed
on lookout duty. On his return from there he
struck the second mato, who was by this means
awakened from his sleep, and who, in kicking
at, struck Lambert, and knocked him down
from the quarter deck. Lambert then got up
and went off to tho man near tho wheel, and
threw off his hat, coat and slippers, and to?
gether with a hatchet which he carried, tossed
them all overboard, declaring that his head
was on fire, sad intimating that he would jump
overboard. He was then tied and secured in
his room, and afterwards, on searching for him,
the lookout forward was found missing, and a
quantity of blood, brains and hair wore be?
spattered on tho forecastle. ?he only suppo?
sition indulged as to the reason of these acts
on the part of Lambert, is that ho wished to
murder all of those on board, and thou to beach
tho vessel on some one of tho numorous near
islands, for tho purpoeo of securing to himself
the money and property on boird.

32sop might have made a fable with a moral
out of an incident which happenedin California
not long since. A rat hungering lor animal
food squeezed through the bars of a cage in
which was a canary, seized and devoured him.
But ho ate ao greedily, and gorged himself to
i such an extent, that he could not get out of
the cage before tho master of tho house ap
I peared and punished the intruder with death.
POLITICAL.
THE PBOPLE CALLED UPON TO CHICK TES PEO
QEEHS OF THE CONGRESSIONAL REVOLU?
TIONISTS-WEAK-KUEED RADICALS
WHIPPED TN-THE CASE OF
SENATOB SHEEHAN.
The Washington correspondent of the Bal?
timore Gazette writes nader date of January
19th:
Unless the American people have utterly lost I
all regard for their constitutional rights and all
love of liberty they most finally resist the en?
croachments now in the process of consummate!
tion by a few leaders who control Congress. Toe
Executive power so far ns its exercise by con?
stitutional agencies is concerned, bas been an?
nihilated. 1 he regular army is at the disposal
of a socretary and commander, thrust into
power without even a pretence of legal author?
ity-a mere soldier-and hardly that-is to be
unquestionably made autocrat of the country
-and the judicial branch of the government
is to be swept away. I have beard from seve?
ral sources to-day that some Senators have ex?
pressed hesitancy in going the lengths required
by their party. They tremble when called
upon to lay violent hands upon tire Supreme
Court. But I have no faith whatever that their
sense of duty or regard for their oaths will
weigh a feather when counterpoised by their
interests and ambition. Not one of the infa?
mous acts having a tendency to subvert the
government but was disapproved by a suffi?
cient number in either House of Congress to
defeat it. But they were all passed by strict
party votes. So it will be again. Such is the in?
evitable course of revolutions. Whee the first
Reconstruction bill came before the Senate I
heard Senator Sherman dellaro that be would
never consent, when enfranchising; the ne?
groes, to deprive a Bingle white man of a vote,
and yet the very next day, upon a flimsy ex?
cuso, he voted to disfranchise fifty .thousand.
Robespierre would gladly have put an end to
the work of the guillotine long before his own
head fell into the basket, but it was utterly out
of bis power. It was beyond his courage. The
private room of Judge Bingham has been
crowded all day with weak-kneed Republicans,
begging bim to accept this or that amend?
ment, and not to rush the party upon political
annihilation. Th? author of the new bill,
however, only shook- bis ambrosial locks, and
answered, sternly, "No," as aftor a consulta?
tion among the faithful it was determined to*
vote down all amendments and pass the bill as.
it came from the committee. The conspira?
tors, however, are by no means sanguine of
success ui the Senate, and yet the country need
not "look to the Senate" after the vote of that
body on the resolution restoring Edwin H.
Stanton to the War Department.
THE MAROU OT EE VOLUTION.
That the revolutionists in Congress intend
to take no step backward, but to keep moving
on the downward path- they have chosen, until
there is no longer even the semblarme of an
obstacle in any other department of the gov?
ernment to tho unlimited power of the "na?
tional assembly," is ominously foreshadowed
in a late threatening article of the New York
Tribune, thc spirit of which will appear in the
following extracts:
"If Andrew Johnson means to defy this
tenure-of-offico law, and make a war upon the
country, let bim do it if be dare, and take the
consequences 1 Edwin M. Stanton is Secrotary
of War, and he can only bc removed by the
operation of law.
" 'Let Stanton resign,' say some, 'and thus
tide over this troublo.' We beg Mi-. Stanton
not to resign. If wu are to hn ve a contest
with President Johnson of a decisive charac?
ter, the sooner it comos the better. We have
bad enough of patietico, compromise, forbear?
ance. * * * * Rathor than soo
the Congress of America tamely concede one
element of justice, or surrender one man tb
tue tyranny of tho rebel power, or permit the
President to put a finger upon Mr. Stanton or
General Grant, wo would accept any political
fate. This Congress cannot recede.
"Therefore we admonish the President and
bis midnight baok-atairs counsellors, Uko Black
and Blair, to be cautious 1 The-next card that
Congress may play is impeachment. It ts for
Mr. Johuson to say whothor it shall bo played
or not."
THE PRESIDENT AND STANTON.
The Washington correspondent (January 19)
of the Baltimore Sun says :
There is or decidod lull in the excitement
that has prevailed here for the past week, and
to-day wo bavo neither a startling fact nor a
sentational rumor to record. It 1B weU under?
stood, by those conversant .vith the purposes
of the administration, that none of tho ex?
travagant things and questionable orders men?
tioned in dispatches sent hence were ever
contemplated or under consideration by the
President, and that they had existence only in
the brains of the writers of the sensational
telegrams which disturbed the citizens and
commercial communities of the Northern cities
during tho week just closed. There is reason
to oxpect that Mr. Stanton may resign in a few
days. Genoral Grant was again with him to
right, aud unqualifiedly expressed bis opinion
'.nat Mr. Stanton should resign, sud Goneral
Sherman yesterday earnestly advised tho same
course. Meantime Mr. Stanton is reduced to
ho merest clorkship in tho War Department.
o President wiU not permit any order to be
H. ? from that department except in strict
accordance with law, which, being literally fol?
lowed, will prevent any order issuing from the
Secretary of War as heretofore, and compel
everything of that character to be issuod by
direction of the President. General Grant wiU
only recognize orders from th? President.
REPUBLICAN VIEW OF THE NEW RECONSTRUCTION
BELL.
The Now Yoik Poet, Republican, referring to
the new reconstruct nu bill pending in Con?
gress, remarks :
Zealous, unhesitating, rcokleas partisans sup?
port the new bill as they would support any
thin? that their porty might proclaim, but we
nave yet to hear the approval of it by a Bingle
moderato person, Republican or Democrat.
They say the attempt to strip the President of
powers "vested" in him by the constitution,
and confer them upon another officer, is clear?
ly revolutionary. Even if it were not, i t is novel
and dangerous, and should only be done with
tho greatest caution and deliberation. No
emergency exists to compel or justify it. Mr.
Johnson has done nothing objectionable since
Congress met, except the dismissal of General
Pope, whom he has replaced by General Meade,
who is just as decided aud energetic as Genoral
Pope; and the cou von Lio na aro held without
molestation.
It is useless for General Garfield to argue
that the President is "the subordinate of
Congress." He is not; ho is the co-ordinate of
Congress; the integrity of his function is just
as necessary as that of Congress, and to de?
stroy this relation of equilibrium is to destroy
the peculiar featuro of our policy which bas
given it strength and success. The vast ma?
jority of tho peoplo have been taught for half a
century to look upon this division oi power as
we state them, and it would take them a long
while to uulearn a doctrino which they identify
with the stability of the nation, it is older
than the republican supremacy, and will out?
last it if the opposite doctrino bo insisted on.
CONGRESS AND THE MORMONS.
The Washington Express says:
The Committee on Elections will soon have
a novel contest to consider, and one that will
involve tho question whether the government
of Utah, as administered by Brigham Young,
is republican iu form. Mr. McGroarty, the
candidate of the Gentiles, has arrived here,
and ie now preparing evidence to submit in
contesting the seat of Mr. Hooper, tho sitting
delegate from Brigham's dominions, who was
elected by tho saints. Mr. McGroarty claims
that the elections, as conducted by the bish?
ops of the ?form?n Church, who act as judges
at the polls, aro not only unfair, but wholly at
variance with the mode" prescribed by United
States law. The evid "ince wiU set forth all the
peculiarities of tho administration of civil af?
fairs by these Mormons.
John Paul says : "I never was a good carver,
which is ono "reasou I do not have turkey on
my table every day instead of only once a
year. Hash is much easier to help, there aro
no joints to puzzle me, no crooked necks, side
bones and gizzards to drive one to distraction,
so I make it the standing dish in my house?
hold. Those who think we take it for cheap?
ness make a mistake. The convenience of the
thing is its recommendation."
