BLACK RepubIican treason IN ohio.


The new shrek for freedom" raised by
the Republicans is over an attempt to in
tcrfcrc with the execution Of the laws Of
the United States, in Ohio. There is NO
shadow Of n shade Of Justification for their
conduct. Judge Mclean, in the matter of
cr pqric Robinson, showed most clearly the
power of the Federal authority, and said
Estate rights are invoked by the coun.
sell If these rights nre construed TO mean
subversion of the federal authorities, they
may be somewhat in danger. That the
common power has juri,lictfea in this case
| is clear. While dGly engaged in the inves-
tigation of the matter, the Honorable Judge
of the Common Pleas, whose motives | by
no means question, by habeas corpus
took from the custody Of the Marshal, tho
body of the fugitive, which left the Com
missioner without case. 1t wrceted from
him, without any authority Of law, the sub
ject of his jurisdiction. This, so far as I
know, is without precedent. Had any
Commissioner or Federal Judge interposed,
and by the same means, had disregarded
and disturbed the jurisdiction of the State
Court, | should have felt not less concern
than the eloquent counsel A sense Of
duty compcls me to say that the proceed
ngs of the honorable Judge were not only
without authority of law, but against law
and that the proceedings are void, and
am bound to treat them as a nullityp
The Supreme Court of the United States
also settled the question and established
the principle in the case Of er PaTts Wal
lace, reported ID Wallace, 525, in which
it is decided
The jurisdiction Of tho Courts Of the
United States is limited, but within its
limits, supreme, the State Courts have
often, in many cases, concurrent jurisdic-
tion over the same subjects and persons
but neither can treat the other as an infe.
rior jurisdiction, except in the cases where
the Constitution and the acts Of Congress
have given such power to the Courts Of the
United States. When persons or property
are liable to seizure or arrest by the pro-
cess Of both, that which FIRST attaches
should have the preference. Any attempt
Of either to take from the legal custody Of
the officers Of the other would be an unjus-
tifable exercise Of power, and lead to the
most deplorable consequences. Therefore,
if person be imprisoned under the ciyilor
criminal process Of one, the other cannot
take him from such custody in order to sub
jsct him to punishment for an offence
against them. A fugitive cannot be taken
from the legal custody Of the Sheriff by any
warrant from the Courts Of the United
States, in order to extraditioD, under the
acts Of Congress. Neither can such fngi-
tive, when in custody Of the Marshal, un-
der legal process from q Judge or Commis-
sioner of the United States, be delivered
from such custody by means Of habeas
corpus, or any other process, to answer for
an offence against the State, whether felony
or misdemeanor, or for any 9th rpurpose."

Bodily Carriage.


/ Instead OF giving all sorts of rules about
turaiag out the toes and strai ghtening up
the body and holding the shoulders back,
all OF which are impracticabc 10 many,
because soon forgotten, or n feeling OF
.awkwardness and discomfort which procures
willing omission, all that is necessary to
secure the object is to hold up the head
and move on, letting the shoulders and toes
take care Of themselves Walk with the
chin but slightly above horizontal line,
or with your eyes directed to things little
higher than your head. In this way you
walk properly, pleNsurably. and without
any fear or restraint Of awkwlrdncSS If
any ono wishes to be aided in securing this
/ habitual carriage of body, accuStom your
self 10 carry your hands behind you, one
hand grasidng the opposite wrist. Eng
lishmcn are admired the world over for
! their full chests, and broad shoulders, and
sturdy frames, aud manly bearing. This
position Of body is favorite with them, in
the simple promenade in the garden or gal
lery, in attending ladies along crowded
street, in standing on the street or in pub
lie worship.
Many persons spend large portion of
their waking existence in the setting posi-
tion. A single rule, well attended to, in
this connexion, would be of incalculable
value to multtudcs. Use chairs with the
old fashioned straight backs, inclining
backward, and sit with the lower portion
of the body close Oginst the back of the
chair at the seat any one who tries it will
observe in moment a grateful support Of
the whole spine. And we see no reason
why children should not be taught from
the beginning to write and sew, and knit in
a position requiring the lower portion of
the body and shoulders to touch the back
of the chair all the time.
A very common position in sitting, espe-
cially among men, is with the shoulders
against the chair backy1With a space Of
several inches between the chair back and
the lower portion Of the spine, giving the
body the shape of a half hoop, 1t is the
instantaneous, instructive, and almost uni,
versal position assumed by amy eOnsump-
tive on sitting down, unless counteracted
by an effort of the will hence parents
should regard such position in their chill
dren with apprehension, and should rectify
| it at once.
Tho best position after eating regular
meal is to have the hands behind the back,
the head erect, in moderate .locomotion,
and in the open air, if the weather is not
chilly. Half an hour spedt in this way
after meals, at least after breakfast and
dinner, would add health and length Of
days to women in early life and to all sed-
entary men. 1t is thought which merits
attention. Halls Journal If Htaih.

4 New Motive Power.

The Baltimore Patriot is\cn,lu 'a,,i,
over new motive power, alcgSl 20 hav.
been discovered and brought into practical
operation by Prof. J. c. + Sa,omon, ot
that city. 1t is called the " .Saiph. Oi
CdrJ5Hic Icid J'Rgiac" The professor has
been at work Oh his discovery for the las;
ten years, during which time he has been
aided by some of the most opnlcnt and in.
telligent citizens of Baltimore The ma.
chine is a common rectil.neal steam engine
differing in 10 material feature from those
in general use, only new motor is used
which is thus described by the PGirioi:
The patent novelty consists in the mo
tive power and its application, which wholly
supersedes steam This motor is produced
by compound of lie. sulphiatc bsulrharet
Of carbon, coal tar, aud volatile or fixed
oil, which, under certain Influences of heat,
becomes powerfully expansive, and thus
gives momentum. Though only four
horse engine, it was performing the estima-
ted duty Of ten horses, and has been so
doing since put in operation, nearly fort
night ago.
The great virtue and triumph Of this
wonderful invention, which in all probabli-
ty will cause a revolution in mechanics, are
its economy, safety, and power, combining,
also, cheapness and convenience.
"T The fluid, or gas, constituting the mo-
tive power, is used over and over again
with scarcely any dminution or waste, be-
ing thrown, after performing its work
from the heater to the condenser, and from
the condenser to the heater again, with
thorough renovation The heater, where
the gas or fluid is introduced, is submerged
in aicistern of heated oil, kept hot by a
gentle fire. In this condition the gas ex-
pands, gaining its power and passing
through pipes and valves, acts upon the
piston, giving motion to the engine. The
appliances are simple, easy of comprchen-
sion, free f ON complication, and not sub
ject TO accident or disarrangement Thus
a study, active force is at all times kept
up.
Tho cost of this fluid is estimated at
ten cents per gallon, and it is demonstrated
that eighteen gallons, by careful attention,
will run an engine Of the capacity here no.
ticed, for one year. Its components are
such as not to freeze, even at ninety de-
grees below zero. The amount of fuel is,
in proportion of fifteen pounds of coal TO
one hundred pounds compared with steam
engine of the same dimensions, whilst more
than double the force can be brought into
reqnisition."
A trial with steam under an equal ap-
plication of heat, is said to have clearly
demonstrated great superiority Of this
new motor, in its application, over steam.
With degree Of heat which produced
eighty revolutions per minute with the new
motor, the steam engine moved but slightly
and stopped. Besides it is claimed that
explosion is impossible, and thus q great
point is gained in obviating danger.

GETTING Sick OF THEM.-The black re-
publican German at Keokuk, groans terri
bly, over the route Of its party in Iowa. In
the following extract the editor seems to
have discovered that he is part and parcel
Of great nuisance" There can be no
doubt on this point
But we honestly confess that the re-
publican party OF Lee county has lost
many supporters among the Germans since
the last presidential campaign. While
acknowledging this fact, and censnring the
tdcserters who left the republican ranks OF
account of some subordinate questions, VIC
cannot deny that legislature like the late
one, composed Of such republicans, is per
feet nuisance, clearly demonstrating that
the reproach of greediness for the plunder
and spoils Of Office is equally applicable to
both parties, and is nothing more nor less
than a humbug Thus, when the Gate
City accuses the hie-appointed democratic
Postmaster, Walling, of intrigue, we ought
to remember that this attack is dictated
by feeling of jealousy and ill-concealed
disappointment at having lost the fat job
of the State printing. Without wasting
unnecessary words, we have arrived at the
conclusion that the republican party is
quite as bad as tho democratic, and il
should he the object Of the progressive
Germans to establish party which fully
and truly deserves the name Of republican,

The OLDEST Man IN AMERICA-A cor.
respondent Of the Cassvill6 Standard says
there is now living in Murray county, Geor.
gia, on the waters of Holly Greek, a rcvo
lutonary veteran who has attained the age
of ONE HUNDRED AN3 rHIRW-FoUR YEARS.
His name is John Hames' He is known
throughout the region in which he lives by
the appcllative of Gran'sir Hames. y
"Gran'sir" is contracted for Grand-sire.
\ Grand-sire he truly is. AS was on
my way 10 visit this relct Of the expired
eighteenth century, l inquired of an oldish
gentleman Of about sixty if he knew him :?
"Oh, yes, | know him." said he, he is
my grandfather"
John Hames was born in tfrcklenburg
county, Virginia, and was a lad ten years
old when Washington was in his cradle.
He was thirty-two when Braddock met his
disastrous defeat on the Monongahela. He,
with several of his neighbors, set.out to
join the headstrong aud ill-fated command
cr but after several days march, were
turned back by the news of his overthrow.
He cmigrated to South Carolina nearly
hundred years ago He was in thirteen
considerable conflicts during the war Of in
dependence, and in skirmishes and rencoun-
ters with Indians, with tories and with
British, times beyond memory. He was
with Gates at Camden, with Morgan at
Cowpens, with Green at HIlsbOro' and
Eutaw, and with Marion in many bold
rush into camp Of red coat quarters.
