ON STRIKE.-From the scarcity of eggs,
we judge the hen tribe are on . concerted
strike and refuse to lay until their just de-
mands are complied with. Not an egg can
be had for miles around. The cackling of
hen is the signal for rush of all the men,
bers Of the household to her nest to secure
the much coveted prize over which she is so
loudly exulting. The goose that laid golden
eggs would be no where IN value, compared
to barnyard full of good laying hens, the
prices offered for eggs being almost fabulous.

DrsrRicr CouRr.-The January term of the
District Cont adjourned Saturday. A great
many cases were disposed of during the term,
but the docket was not cleared. Judge Isbell,
of Linn county, occupied the bench portion
of the time. He has long occupied promi-
nent position OH the bench in Iowa, both in
the Supreme and lover Courts. Judge Rich
man. although in his first term, gave univer-
sal satisfaction. His uniform kindness, dig
nifty and courtesy, point him out true man.
He is faithful, impartial jurist, evincing
capacity for the administration of justice, and
faithful regard for the principles of law
He takes comprehensive, yet accurate view
Of the whole case under consideration, and
delivers his opinions with clearness. We
predict that Judge Richman will win q repu-
tation second to none in our State.

as much evinced in any other line as
in the grocery trade. There is not one of the

MELANCHOLY Acc1DENT--On Friday last,
James Law, mail agent on the Oskalooss
Branch of the NJ. & NJ. R. R., was fatally in
jured at Fredonia, while attempting to get on
the forward end of the baggage car of the
western bound train. The lower step had
been broken of, by which he missed bis foot
ing, and was caught by the edge of the car
and bent almost double. The cars did not
run over him. He was taken Immediately to
his home at Washington. where he died about
four hours after the accident, having, no doubt,
received severe internal injuries. The de.
ceased was upwards of fifty years of age, and
one of the most conscientious and trustworthy
men we ever knew. His family and friends
have our sincere sympathies in their melan-
choly bereavement.

When and how is the question to get
there.
No habeas corpus lies for him in United
States court, aud the President defeated
with this bill its extension Of that writ to this
case.
Such are the fruits Of this rash and fatal
act of the Presdent-a blow at the friends
of his Administration, at the rights Of hu
manity, and at the principles of republican
Government.
The President has greatly presumed on
the forbearance which the supporters Of his
Administration have so long practised in
view Of the arduous conflict in which we
are engaged, and the reckless terocity Of our
political opponents.
But he must understand that our support
is of cause and not of man; that the
authority of Congress is paramount and
must be respected; that the whole body Of
the Union men of Congress will not submit
to be impeached by him of rash and uncon,
stitutiona legislation; and il he wishes our
support, he must confne himself to his ex-
ecutive duties-to obey and execute, not
make the laws-to suppress by arms armed
rebellion, and leave political reorganization
to Congress.
If the supporters of the Government fail
to insist on this, they become responsible for
the usurpaton which they fail to rebuke,
and are Justly liable to the Indignation Of
the people whose rights and security, COM
mtted to their keeping, they sacrifice,
Let them consider the remedy for these
usurpalions, and, having found it, fearlessly
execute it.

Adding to this $4,000, 100000 as the
amount of indebtedness due by the people Of
the United States and by the State Govern
ments to foreign nations and their subjects,
the Senator figured a total Indebtedness OF
of 81 600, $40, ,926. lie then went on to say:
This vast, and astounding public debt has
been created within the past four years, while
the debt of Great Britain, which the people
Of the United States have heretofore con-
templated with amazement and revulsion. is
$3,0l4 7634, and has been aggregating
for nearly two centuries In 1856, her total
property was $33, ,4O2 100000. is now more
than S35 900, while that Of the
United States, in 1860, was SIG, 9,0l6,068.
1t is thus seen that our public debt, on the
lst Of July next, will be upward of % per
cent, or more than a fourth of the aggre-
gate property of the whole people of the
United States in 1860, and tha: of England
is less than nine per cent, and less than one
eighth part Of the aggregate of her prop,
erty."
We believe that to be an under rather than
an over estimate.

Duel Between the Editor of the
Richmond Examiner and the
Treasurer Of the Rebel States.

from The Richmond Examiner. August lsl
The chivalry, as well as non-combatants,
for the first time for many day were
thrown into an excitement this morning by
q rumor that hostile meeting had taken
place between John M. Daniel, Esq. of The
Richmond Erdminer, and e. G. Elmore,
Confederate States Treasurer. The current
report is that the needing took place at half
past five o'clock this morning, ON Dills
farm, two miles north of the city.
Mr.. II. Rives Pollard, of The Examiner,
acted as the friend OF Mr.. Daniel, and Lieu
tenant Taylor, of South Carolina, as the
friend of Mr.. Elmore: The weapons used,
it Is said, were the ordinary smooth bore
duelling pistols; the distance ten paces.--
Only two shots were exchanged, Mr.. Dam
iel being wounded at the second fire in the
flesh part of the right leg, few inches
above the ankle. His wound, though not
dangerous, is said to be very painful
/ The affair grew outof paragraph which
appeared In the local column Of The Erdm-
i,ser on the 1st instant, headed "Alleged De-
falcation In the Treasury Department-As-
tonishing Developments
The paragraph announced that the arrest
of detective T.. w. Boyd, on the charge of

A Little President.

Mr.. Lincoln and Mr.. Stanton must look
to their scepter. 1t is reported that Gov.
Andrew. of Massachusetts, has undertaken
to interfere with their high prerogative of
promiscuous and peremptory Punishment,
and is retaliating upon the United States
the administration policy under which
Massachusetts, has so often been treated as
kind of Siberia or Botany Bay for persons
Of both sexes obnoxious to the double
charge of disloyalty and opulence- Provost
Marshals at Baltimore, st. Louis, and other
great centers of the deba: able border-land,
have long been in the habit of sending such
persons "beyond the lines" to reside i'm
Massachusetts during the war. Governor
Andrew, it appears, has now made up his
mind that he is king in his own dominions,
and, like some of his colonial predecessors,
is driving ladies and old gentlemen of opin-
ions disagreeable to himself over the sacred
frontier into Rhode Island, and other savage
regions.
The State of Roger Williams, the once
refuge of men and women, charged with
crimes ranging in point of enormity from
witchcraft to Quakerism, ought to feel itself
honored by this revival of its early expert
ences. Gov. Andrew himself is, perhaps,
animated by natural ambition to shine in
the pages of history beside those ancient
prosecutors, his eXemplars, who but for
their acts of fanatical tyranny would have
long since passed into the ''dusty crvpts" of
oblivion. But what have the President and
the Secretary of War to say to the pre-
sumption which infringes upon their own
patent of lettres de cdtchet, and sets up in the
shadow of the imperial throne an independ-
ent State monarchy ?-WOrld.

A Lynching AAair-A Soldier of
the Veteran Reserve Guard Bay.
Oneted.

from The Washington Star. Aug. 22.l
This morning train left the depot in
this city with about six hundred soldiers,
of different regiments, on their way to join
Sheridan's command at Harper's Ferry
While at Beltsville, where detachment of
the Veteran Reserve Corps is on duty, the
train switched of, and the soldiers on it
amused themselves by throwing apples at
the Veteran Reserve guard, and calling them
epithets, indicating them as being "home
guards" afraid to fight, sc. This irritated
the guard, and a sergeant in charge, whose
name we understand to be Porter, picked
up musket and fired upon the train,
wounding one soldier slightly and killing
Joseph Laughlin, Company E, Eleventh
Vermont. (Another informant, who was
also on the train, says the soldiers name
who was killed was John McLoflin, and
that he belonged to the Eighteenth Ver-
monty
AS soon as the act of shooting was perpe-
trated, the soldiers got off the train and
beat Sergt. Porter in terrible manner-at
the same time ascertaining that the man
killed had not thrown any apples or used
any epithets. Sergt. Porter, we understand,
was subsequently, taken to tree near by,
allowed three minutes to say his prayers,
and then bayoneted until life was extinct.
The guard of which Porter had charge
were unable to render him any assistance,
as the force was but small. The parties,
too, who inflicted this summary punish
ment upon Porter were requested to take
him to Baltimore, and have him regularly.
tried; but this was refused, the soldiers pre-
ferring to take the law in their own hands.
Porter, it is said, belonged to Company
d, Eighteenth Veteran Reserve Corps
His time had almost expired, and he was to
have been discharged to-day.
