Duties Of Sheriff. and District Attorneys.


AS Gov. Curtin has hitherto failed to per-
form his sworn duty in his wilful neglect to en-
force that requirement of the. State CONSTITUTION
which declares that ''the military shall, in all
cases, and at all times, be in strict srlbordina-
ton to the civil power,"' we hope that some of
the inferior ministerial officers of the law, espe-
cially Sherifs and District Attorneys, will see
that the people have their gnts under the Con-
1t is the duty Of these officials to do
all in,their power to preserve the ''peace and
dignity of the Commonwealth" They are
sworn to support the Constitution of Pennsyl-
vania, and, therefore, sworn to see that the mil
itary power shall not override the civil authori-
ty The t'dignity" as well as the "peace' of
the Commonwealth, requires that this should be
done. Gov. Seymour, of New York, thus ad-
dresses himself, in his message, to these officers
''Sheritfs and District Attorneys are admonish-
ed that it is their duty to take care that no per-
sons within their respective counties are impris-
oned or carried By force beyond their limits with
out due process, or legal authority" This ad-
monition is just as applicable to the Sheriis and
District Attorneys of Pennsylvania, as it is to
those of New York. II is their day to see that
the Constitution and laws of the State are not
violated, and they must discharge that duty, If
in their power, or they will be looked upon as
having failed to perform their official functions
and as having disregarded and violated their oath
of office.

The Next Presidency!

We are in receipt of couple of docu-
ments which were intended to be strictly
confidential, but on account of the good
understanding which exists between our
readers and ourselves, we feel fully au.
thorzed to extend the secret to them
The documents are of two sorts. One is
synoptieal history of little meeting
which few Pro Slavery old fogies held
in the City of Rochester, N. Y, in Au-
gust last, the purpose whereof was to
make arrangements for the organization
of a new party which might nominate
and elect the next President! BY this
history VIC learn that a Committee con
sisting Of Leslie Combs, Garrett Davis
and three other equally conservative
gentlemen appointed, who retired, man
ufactured, and subsequently reported tc
the meeting series of Conservative
Resolutions in favor of the organization
of National conservative" Party, in
time to take part in the next Presiden
tial canvass. The Resolutions declare
that the object of the new Party shall be
to suppress the Rebellion, maintain the
Union, uphold the Constitution, enforce
the Laws, &C., and to this end they in
vite the cooperation of all men, of what.
soever former political affiliation, who are
opposed to the election to any Office of
any person in connection or sympathy
with secessionism, abolitionism, or fanat.
icism of any kind. They say that the
Democratic party is all we'll enough in it.

on the all.important subject Of tho War
They say that the Republican party is
rapidly becoming abolition'zed, and Is
consequently unfit to be trusted. And
that in this condition of Affairs nothing
can prevent the Government from going
to the dogs unless the proposed party can
be founded, and do the business!
That is the substance of Document
No. One. Document No. Two is direct
ed to us, individually, and is evidently
intended to be entirely sub.rosa! 1t asks
US if we will be good enough to attend
and be one Of close corporation for po-
litical purposes to be held in Cincinnati
on the Sd day of next mouth, to agree
upon time and place for holding "Con-
scrvative" National Convention to noml'
nate candidate of that way of thinking
for President of the United States! 1t
says that "the venerable AEos Kendall,
will be present and act as Chairman OF
the Corporation, and that he has given
assurances that he will cooperate with
US (!) throughout the campaign-doing
it, however, upon the distinct under
| standing that it is for the purpose OF
uniting the "Conseryative" element Of
the country!
Nothing would please US better than to
see this tremendous convocation Of parti'
san fossils, but on reflection we guess
Gen. Leslie Combs, the Hon. Garrett
Davis, and their confrercs, will hardly
expect US! If there could be mass
meeting of the mummies which have
slept for centuries beneath the Pyramids
of Egypt, they would have just about as
much influence on the action Of the Peo
pie of the United States in the choice OF
the next President, as this meeting, with

Cincinnati!

Amos that he need Mt keep the meeting
waiting for us!-State Register, Dec. I'd.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Post writes that Senator Will
son, the author of the enrolment act,
does not favor any change, but prefers
that the law should stand precise Iy as it
is. The War Department may agree
with these views, but the Provost Mar
shall General is known to favor changes
and radical ones, in the law. The argu-
mcnts against change, are also based
upon the close division of the next
House. There is, however, a strong
feeling against the $500 exemption clause
among the Republican congressman, and
it is not improbable that it will be strok-
en- out.
