( vva* asittas la the n|?#?rl| speech delivered on the 20th att., before the Legislature of Oeocgie, the Hon. B. H. Hill expa Metes, open the true ides of "rebel." *a ons who raises impious hand against the Oonatitution. the fundamental law, the only reel sotereigu in this country. The flippancy and sballowoess of those who roll ander their tongues the eweet cnorsel of the imputatiou of rebellion against the men who bavo ever been faithf nl to our Magna Charta, are admi? rably brought oat In this eloquent pro -daetifln, The'word, he says, which has been oftener spoken daring the last fourteen yearn than sny other in the E ogtyab. language, is the word thesis least understood by the American peo? ple. Ia Germany, Busala, France and England it has a well dadoed significa? tion. It describes ono who resists the OorernraaDt, wbioh in those ooautries means the tBuoeror or Ring. But hero government is mete' machinery.' merely the organiastion for the admi? nistration of tbplaw*. It is not the King, hot the power, not the sovereign in America. Who, then, la a rebel? Tbia will appear to the duilest mind in the following loold statement: -"When the framera of the Ooostitn Hion w?e. abwut to conclude their worK wfiojMraoa naturally ooourred to tbis. *a It end on several occasions dariVgiheif labors, in what way should they bind those who should undertake ?s> administer the Government to be Jaitbjol to their obligations? There was some discussion, hat finally it was ?determined .that the President and ? ? every officer of the Government, State ?and Federal, should take an oath to nupport the Constitution. Now tba in? quiry is pafUaant, why not. take an oath to support the Union? Why not ?take an oath to support the Govern ? nia^Uwi ?^|d.they, not require them to ts>s su oath to preserve liberty? Yet of ell these propositions not one of them was adopted'. ? "Various sog ? geations were made.. One diatin ?niaawT^entlejnitS who had taken a dsKgdSKt in i^ml&^tho Constitution, 'suggested there should be no oath at all, and he gave this significant reason >for He If the Government is adminis? tered by good m#o, no oath will be weooasary; if by bed men, no oath will be regarded. Bat it wsASgreed oa ell hands, after various suggestions, that ?irtoTs^^ one conclusion was, arrived at, adopted, and that was that every officer of this Govesneaa^Bisataand Federal, should be reqwrred' to take an oath to support ?the Opaetitotianl Now, why. why, why thai oath in preference to all others? Because when they to ok sn oath to pressrv? the Oonstitutibn. and kept that oath, they supported every thing'else. The Constitution was or? dained, and established sa the means' by whtoh the Union waa to bo made perfect!, by which domestio tranquility was to be secured, by whiob justice Wae established, pablio welfare pro? vided f< r, and by wbioh the bless? ings of liberty should be sooored to them and their posterity. | Applause. J Therefore, they required an oath to support the Constitution, as the terms on which and the means by whioh the Union was to he preserved, domeatio tranquility secured and the blessings of liberty and justice perpetuated. In addition to thia requisition to take an oath to support the Constitution, they also provided that this Constitu? tion and tho laws passed in pursuance of it, ehtfold be the superior law of the land, that is, the only king whose au? thority all power in America waa re? quired to obey, was the Oonstitntion of the country. .That was the supreme Uw. What Constitution? The writ? ten Ooaktitution as)adopted,to be sup? ported as the means by whioh all the other ends of Government were to, be secured and perpetuated. ??Note*, answer me the question, who in Amertsr.a politics is a rebel? I an? swer, he, and be only, who is faithless to the Constitution. Who in Ameri? can politics ia a patriot? I answer, he, and he only, who is faithful to tho Constitution." Mr. Hill goes on to show the exist? ence of two parties ia the eonvention thst framed the Oonstitntion?one representing the extreme idea of a strong oentraliaed government; the other, representing the opposite ex? treme idea of a loose, unoentralized government, with all obligatory power in the States. Between these tho Con? stitution was a happy end just com? promise, ratified, however, by several of the States, only upon condition that amendments should be adopted, the ohief of whioh was a declaration that all the powers not delegated to the General Government should be re? served id Jbn flujee. We need not follow,the speaker in his account of this oncroschment upon the just re* served rights of the States, and of attacks upon thfrOdnattietion by those who were the advocates of a strong, central fovernmewt. They used cer? tain qassttiae lor tbb purpose with oeeiJe***** The Institution of do snastie atavary constituted their pttnsi pel theme *?? cb>f engine of influ waversl occasions, particularly in 1854 jirid 1855. when the Miseouri oompro ise we* repealed* but aco;(iired tuelr g res teat strengt h &a ndar the gni se' of oppositions to slavery,; tp kttaok the law an^fy overthrow tbs)v Constitution when tbh Southern people seceded from the Union. This left the Go? vernment really in toe bands of its enemies, and our frit*uds of the North in their hands al?o. Things were now favorable to their scheme, ? and ex? treme moo took the lead, .as. in all revolutions. "They bad learned to bate the South," he oontinues, "because the South had so often held op the Con? stitution as its shield and protection agai&st interference; and tbey bated the Constitution the more because it was the shield and protection of the South. They had declared it a cove nant with heil and a league with the devil, and appealed to a higher law Bot as soon as the South left the Unioo, they became the most wonder fnl devoted lovers of the Union ever heard of. Wboo tbey ooaid not oon trol the government they denounced it, bat the moment the Booth left the Union, tbey raised the ory at onoe that the Union must he! preserved. Well, as I'aay, secession gave the ox a great opportunity to aeoomplieb their par pose; therefore, they deals red that they wonld make war to preserve the Union?they would enforce the law, They waged war against these States, not because #tbese States had violated the Constitution, for if -there ta any? thing that distinguished the Southern people more than any other thing in their entire political history, from 1787 to I860, it was undying devotion to the priuoiples uf government as du' olared in the Constitution. There fore, I have often said I would defy any man living to day. to point out to me one single instance where a South ern State, or a Soothern leading states man, was ev6r faithless to the Consti tution. Not one. The Southern States left the Union, or sought to leave it, only beoanse of the infidelity of the North, under the lend of those fenetios-, and they who have been un faithful to the. terms of the Union seized Che opportunity of secession tp destroy those who had been faithful,' and who hod only resented their infi? delity." - T|me, which at lust briage all thi?rs even, will settle these questions, and determine, ultimately ^ad . authorrUtVj tively who were "rebels." If it also restore to us constitutional gorern ment, re-establish the ol^bta of State? sad cheok the tendency to centralism and absolutism, to* the dangers of which many of those who hounded on the c?nsa*l* wfrtiriwt Jt*>W ?fdtti arVridw fully alive, We shall be indifferent to any opprobrious name -which it may please parties to try to fasten upon us. The Use of fstraaatc The National Republican plays the Park of whipper- i n in a notice to Repub? lican journals which dare, as was done recently by the New York Evening Pott and the Urne?, to express their | convictions against the policy and practice of the National Administra? tion. It is a plain intimation that what is called Qovernment patronage j can only be enjoyed by those who abandon all idea of independence in discussion. The luxury of having opi? nions is held to be inconsistent with the lnxury of pap. The small panisb meat inflicted on the sbove named journals, is threatened against others Who may be nnder the delusion that I they can think what tbey please, and express what they think. Suoh is the j purport of the following warning: "A recent obange in the distribution of Government advertising patronage to the New York dailies, may convince aome of them that harmony really ex? ists between the President and the Cabinet ministers. Are there other journals in the country that require special information on the subject?" ? * ? ? Owing to the great extent of the snow sheds along its route, and their danger from fire, the Central Pacific Railroad Company have found it ne? cessary to employ no less than four fire trains, for the purpose of protect I iog their lines from serious conflagra? tions. Eaoh train consists of a loco j motive and four water cars. The for? mer is arranged with powerful pumps, which throw n steady and strong stream, whilst the latter are nsed for the purpose of supplying water. Tbey are built of heavy wood, and contain about 100 barrels, or 8,000 gallons of water, and on one of them is mounted a large reel with leather bOBe. These fire traine sprinkle the entire shedding along the road onee a week, and are also held at all times in readiness to proceed to the locality of any fire with all possible spaed. It fa a happy business for certain contractor* that a perpetual warfare upon advsaturous minere in the Black Hills oonotry bae been ineogorated, If gold exists fq that region, as there ia every reason to believe, all the dra {oops in the United States cannot sep people from the treasure, bow ever proper, under existing Indian tree ties, it may be to oppose them. This dragoon business, however, will pay contractors, if it done not effect the desired object. Thursday, Fsbb?abx 3,1876, SENATE. IM?.

The poem of the Deserted Village was cover more fitly illustrated, for hut a living thing wax to be seen. My first objec? tive poiut was the hotel, if Hoch a place could be found. AfUr about half an hour's search, I found it, ami pro? ceeded to arouse the proprietor. I made many ineffectual attempts before I made myself heard, when ut last an old man poked his head out- at the window and usked if I wished to oome iu. I replied, if that was the hotel, I did. and F pn?i_i?.d ????: doer open and took possession. Waihiug tuto the parlor, I found a lamp, which I lit; aud seeing a good pilo of light-wood stowed away in a corner, I eet about making a fire. I accomplished this onerous task, just as uu uutiquuted looking individual puked his head iu at the door, who had doubtless come fortbesame purpose. Iu the meun time, another traveler 08me in, and the conversation turued upon the points we bad visited. He said bo was just from Marion, when the proprietor of the hotel looked up und asked if that was in SoutU Carolina. This waa too muohj and the explosion. of laughter wblob-followed;.might have been beard .the length ot the town. My traveling friend now improvised a bed ont of three ohairn, and was comfortably snoozing away, but I coutinned talk? ing* with mine host, who wan a perfect curiosity. What do I see? He goes to a aide-board, takes out a bunch of keys, and proceeds to unlock it. As an old quart flssk makes its appear? ance, visions of the real old stuff flits before my eyes, aud my month waters like a Bpriug branch. I bear him pouring out; now, surely be will ask me to drink, but no?down- be poors the old corn, nnd never onoe says, "Hero goes." There is nothing mean in a man drink? ing by himself, but it is d?d unsocial. My impressions of this town will last through all time to oome, aud when? ever I feel inclined to indulge in the over joyful, I will think of tbe man who is meun enough to drink by him? self. RAMBLER. Schbnck's Polmonic Syrov, Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills.? These deservedly celebrated and popu? lar medioices have effected a revolu? tion in the healing art, aud proved tbe fallacy of several maxims wbioh have for many years obstructed tbe progress of medical science. The false supposition that "Consumption is incurable," deterred pbysicaus from attempting to find remedies lor that disease, and patients ufllicted with it reconciled themselves to death without making au effort to escape from a doom wbioh tbey supposed to be una? voidable. It is now proved, however, that Consumption can be cured, and that it Aas been cured in a very great num? ber of oases (some of tbem apparently desperate ones) by Scbenok's Pulmo nio Syrup alone; and in other cases by tbe same medicine in connection with Schenok'a Sea Weed Tonio and Man? drake Pills, one or both, according to the requirements of tbe case. Dr. Sohenck, himself, who enjoyed uninterrupted good health for more than forty years, was supposed, at one time to bo at the very gate of death, his physicians having prononnoed bis case hopeless, and abandoned him to his fate. He was cured by tbe afore? said medicines, and, since bis recovery, many thousands similarly affected have used Dr. Sohenok's preparations with tbe same remarkable success. Full directions accompany each, making it not absolutely necessary to personally see Dr. Sohenck, unless pa? tients wish their lungs examined, and for this purpose be is professionally at bis principal office, corner Sixth and Arcb streets, Philadelphia, every Mon? day, where all letters for udvice must be addressed. Sohenok's medicines are sold by all droggists. Jan 0 fl8 It is certain tbat tbe Montenegro people would not dare, unaided, to oppose Turkey. Tbey were so terri? bly and crnsbingly chastised by the Sultan in 1867, that without good back? ing, they could not throw Off tbe yoke. It is understood that Austria, Ger? many and Russia are agreed upon what is known aa the Eastern question, and the Montenegrins ean, with ench back? ing, see their way ont of their difficul? ties. Should Boesia endorse the Mon? tenegro revolt, she will become en? gaged in a war with Eegland, who watohes for encroachments upon her Indian domain with a jealous eye.
