Where il il to End 2

The news comes up from every part of the
State that the knights Of the Golden Circle
are supplying themselves with arms. In
lneEse quantities Of reyolyers and bowie-
kniyes are daily shipped from this city, Gin
'cinnati and other places, into different parts
Of this State. They are sent fnto country
neighborhoods in lots Of from ten to one hun
dred. showing that companies aud societies
are all being armed at once. The existence Of
the Knights of the Golden Circle In our
midst, having been repeatedly established In
lndie1a! proceedings IN the Circuit Court Of
the United States, and number Of the mem
bcrs Of the Order having been convicted and
subjected opunishmcnt, is no longer an open
question, It is an organized conspiracy
against the Government Of the United States,
public enemy, a recognized t1aitorous foe in
our midst, and is rapidly arming and putting
on the form and substance Of q military or
ganization. It Is the rital and working part
Of the Democratic party; the living, restless
brood OF poisonous scrpents 1mratlent1Y
awaiting the hour to strike the Government;
in the meantime hiding their hatefal crcsts
beneath the crust Of party once hon.
orcd and patriotic. The leaders Of that party

might prove loose monthed, the iucompre-

Some Of the Copperhead journals hare been
claiming the election Of John Conness to the
United stafes Senate from California, as q
Democratic (peace) victory. We have before
explained the new Senator's position, but to
clinch the matter. We append an extract from
the proceedings Of the Legislative CAUCUS the
night Dir. Connese was elected:
Mr. Perkins, offered this resolution to
make the nomination unanimous Before I
came to this city, told Mr. Conness that he
was not my first choice. ! told him frankly,
as generally express myself, that he was not
my first CHOICE, ard that would yotc proba-
BY for NJ. Phelps, And I have yoted for Mr.
Phelps sfxty-eight times But need not say
I am reconciled to the nomination Of Mr. Con-
ness, because he stands as square upon my
platform as any man. [Applausc.l Yes, sir,

Col. John Williams, State Comn1isssry Gen.
ernl, in charge Of the State Sanitary Bureau,
makes an appeal in behalf Of sick and wound.
ed Illinois soldiers. This Is subject which
appeals directly to the liberal and generous,
the humane and the benevolent, the loyal and
patriotic OF all classes. There is no citizen Of
Illinois worthy Of the name who can be ind;f.
ferent to such call. 1t is not necessary now
to enquire Why it is that the State Sanitary
Bureau is without mesns to furnish our sol.
diers the aid which they need. That matter
may be more appropriately noticed at another
time. Ihe only question now to be consid-
cred, Is that this aid is nceded-that 1t Is

ments Of home, and have gone to the field f5r

tary Commission stands ready to safely trans

friends of peace are wont to de11ean them

IN ILLINOIS JUDICIAL TRAIToB.
Charles H. Constable, Judge of the 4th Ju-
dicial Circuit Of Illinois, recently arrested
Messrs. McF Garland and Long, two officers Of
Indiana regiments, on the charge Of kidnap-
ping, because they had arrested four deserters
In Clarke county, In that State. They admit
ted when arrested that they were deseriers,
and would hare gone with the officers had
there been no legal interference. One Of the
desertcrs stated that two Knights Of the Gold
en- Circle aeked him to join the order, inform
ing him that If he Joined them he would be
protected against arrest for dcsertion.
Judge Constable refused to recognize the
authority given to the officers by the War
Department. OF to permit them to prove that
the men were deserters. The officers we're
required to give bail for their appearance on
the 18th, to answer to the charge of kidnap-
ping, or go to jail. Bonds were given for
them by loyal citizens Of Mnrshal1. The de-
serters were set at liberty.
The affair reveals the aims of the secret Or
der, which exists here, and has only b1ded its
time to strike q deadly blow at tie Govern
ment.

The leader ofthe Polish Revolution is Count
Gurowski, brother Of Count Adam Gurow-
hkt, Tor many years connected with the New
York Tribune, afterwards with the State De-
partment, and now, 1t is understood, with
Wilkes Spirit Of the Times. At latest accounts
his army was concentrated at Dumbrowua,
and consisted of about 10000 men; but tle
insurgents were rapidly focking to him from
the country around, as the reyolu-
tion in all that part Of Poland is In
full blast. General Gurowski, like his
brother Adam, Is ono Of the. few surviving
founders Of the conspiracy or revolution Of
1880. Then both brothers fought, and were
both covered with wounds, but the former
WAS made prisoner and kept for long time
ia dungeons. Unlike his brother Adam, who
is the author Of the Panslaristic theory, and
friend Of the Russo-Polish union, the Polish
