A FLAGRAST GUTRAGE Upon the assembling Of
Congress, on the 4th Of July, man by the name Of
Upton appeared and claimed to be the legally cleo
ted Representative from the Fairfax (Vs Distric'i
This Upton was, and virtually is yet citizen of
Ohio, having been the editor and publisher Of the
Zauesville Courier, in this State, until within few
weeks ago. He went on to Washington about the
time of the inauguration ION the wild hunt after
office, and failing to get from the Adminstrs-
ton, waited until the United States troops had pos
session of Alexandria, when he opened poll and
ran for Congress, receiving (the Lord only knows
who from) about ttcsrry tloo votesi Upon the
strength Of this bogus election, he claimed seat as
Representative, and. notwithstanding NJ. s. s.
Cox, of the Columbus District, stated the circum-
stances of the case to the House. Upton was admit
ted, by his Republican colleagues, to the seat he
claimed, and to-day he is engaged in making laws
for people who never elected him. He to-day is
allowed, By the votes OF the Republican members
all the privileges of Representative in Congress-
Was there ever a more shameful outrage upon
the rights of free people than this act Of the Re
publican membersg OF course, Upton is bitter
war Republican, and will vote for anything and
everything that his master may demand Of him.

We hold it TO be the duty of every American and
every Christian to advocate the laying down of
arms. and the restoration of peace, even at the
Civil is not preferable to q broken Union.
Civil war will not bless the world with any good
results it will not restore union of hearts with

On the 18th of April si- boxes containing car
riage wheels for cannon, one brass piece Of artil
lery, cartridges .Ec shipped the steamers Glen
Tale and OHIO No 8, to Messrs. ". J. SYMs &
BROTHER, Fort Smith, Ark, were seized at Cinein-
natl by mob, and subsequently handed over to
the United States Marshal as goods contraband- of
war. The United States District Attorney filed an
application for the conscation of said goods which
was resisted by the owners. On the 18th Judge
LEAvTT decided the case, directing the property to
be restored to the claimants This decision is very
dstasteful to the Cincinnati Commercial, and it de-
clares that the action of the Home Guards COM
"mittee, and of the Marshal in arresting persons
" for treason, and Of Selling goods or munitions of
1" war in transjta has been useless. In every in
"stance that has been heard the accused has been
set at liberty, or the goods returned" There is
evidence in this that Judge LEAvrTr has more re.
gard for his oath and the law than others of LIN
coins officials, or LINCOLN himself.

The Bri.I.h oovsrnmsn. ana Lincoln's


Blockade of the Southern Ports.
Perhaps the most important intelligence received
from Europe since LINCOLN commenced his war ON
the South, was brought by the Canada, which sailed
from Liverpool on the 2sth ut. It appears that as
far back the 18th of May last, the Consul of New
Granada at Lvarpool, acting under the instructions
of the Minister from that Republic, published
LITIGATION Of the blockade of several ct its ports
maintained by the vessels-of-war belonging to the
confederation, and warning all parties against its
violation under the penalties of fine and seizure
This attracted attention and provoked no remark
at the time on the part of the British Government
until the 9th ult, when the following reference to
the subject was made:
In the House Of Commons, Mr.. Berkeley aske d
whether England recognizes the right Of New Gre
nsda to close or blockade certain ports
Lord John Russell replied that in case of rebel
lion government had the power to close Its ports
but if IN case of civil war; the ports were de facto
occupied by insurgents, they could not take that
step according to international law. The British
naval commanders therefore are not to recognize
the right of closing ports
1t will be recoHeCted that in debate in the Brit
ish Parliament some weeks ago, Lord JOHN RUSSELL
stated that the British Government recognised the
condition of civil existing between the South
ern and Northern States This declaration taken in
connection with that respecting the New Grenada
blockade, is very significant. A Northern jour
nal thus lnterprets it:
As the New Grenada case is exactly parallel
with our own, and as or own Government has in
this very New Grenada case laid down the Interna-
tional Law to be just what Lord John Russell says
it is, we may reasonably conclude, as to what we
may expect from the British Government when the
necessities of cotton manufactures will require the
new cotton crop of the seeded Cotton States As
the British Government has declared, and as the
United States Government has declared that in case
ola civil war, which is admitted all hands to exist
in this country, that port that is occupied de actO
by the rebels for instance Charleston and other
ports, cannot, according to International Law be
bloekaded by the general or central government
against which the rebellion is the British Govern
ment will insist when the time comes, that it is not
bound to respect our blockade at such ports"
