The Capture of she Florida.

A United States armed vessel, called
the Wachusetts, Captain Collins, COM
manding, captured the confederate stea-
mer, Florida, in the Port of Bahia, in
Brazil The act was not only Illegal but
cowardly. The Florida was under the
protection of a neutral Power, and was
getting some repairs done. The Captain
and one half Of the crew were on shore,
and III the dead Of night the United States
vessel run into her, and she surrendered
immediately y and was attached to the
United States steamer and towed away.
1hls Is not only breach of the neu-
trallty laws, but violation of the laws of
nations. The vessel has since been sunk,
1t Is said, by accident, but that will hard
ly be believed. 1t is also said. that
Seward has made a very humble apology
to Brazil. But we don't think that apol-
ogy will do. He must restore the vcsscI
to where she was, and if that is now i'm
possible, he must pay her price in gold.
If there was no Power interested but Bra
zil, we suppose that Mr. Seward might
put them off with an apology, but the
whole civilized world is interested in a
case of this kind. England and France
are deeply interested that the laws of neu-
trality be faithfully observed. The act is
designated in England and France as the
act OF cut-throat and a pirate by their
newspapers The sooner MIR. Seward
makes restitution in gold or restores the
vessel, the better it will be for this Go
vernment, Unless they think they will
be able to fight the whole Universe. The
populace of Bahia was 50 much OUTRAGED
at the transaction that they attacked the
house, of the consul, and his life would
have been in danger if he had not alb
seconded. This affair Is worse and more
degrading than the memorable humilia-
tlon of the case of Mason and Sliaell.

their places must be supplied by recruits.
The Democrats have no heart to fight in
this war since Lincoln made it an Aboli-
tion concern, and of course the Abolition
party never were fighting party, they
would encourage the war, but they are
very much averse to shouldering musket
They like the money that is in it, and the
doctrine of the Administration about Alb
clifton, but they wish to keep their own
hide safe, so we may safely conclude that
neither Democrat nor Republican will
enter this army hereafter without he does
it for the purpose of makiag money or
else compelled to do it. We have no
idea Of what the features of the new draft
will be, but we know the source from
whence it comes, and may look out for the
worst. Let the Democrats put in substi-
tutes if they can, the Abolition party will
be many of them exempted for disability.

Registers Court.

Last week we have had the first Regis
ter's Court, held in this county for up
wards of twenty years. This court is
composed of the Register and the Judges
of the Court of Common Pleas. or any
two of them.
Its necessity arises when there is any
dispute about the probate of a will or the
granting or revocation of letters of ad-
ministration. When the Register feels
that he does not wish to decide, he calls a
Registers Court or when his decision
is thought to be wrong by some of the
parties interested in the dccedents estate,
then, he may be requested by said parties
to call Registers Court, and have the
benefit of the opinion OF the President
Judge
William Henry Lloyd, died, unmarried
and without issue, leaving father and
mother and two sisters. The father was
lunatic under the control of Commit
tee. The decedents estate amounted to
some four or five thousand dollars, coming
from his uncle by the mothers side
The contest was whether the money
would get into the hands of tie mother
or the committee of the father, as they
are both heirs and the only heirs to his
estate, being personal property.
In most of the States Of the Union
there Is no such thing known AZ Regis
ters Court. Instead of the Register they
elect Probate Judge who decides all
matters Of this knd, and if there are dis
puted facts, he can summon jury to
pass upon them.
The reason we have SO few cases of this
kind here in this county, the greater por-
ton OF the dccedcnts die, their own cx-
ecutors, having no estate to leave behind
them, and, therefore, no litigation.

The Regular Court.

1he Court was called at the usual time.
There was larger attendance at Court
than has been for some time. After the
Constables and Grand Jury were called,
the Judge proceeded to charge the Grand
Jury IN his usual lucid, clear, and en-
Phatlc manner, so that the merest tyro in
experience would understand the duties of
Irand Juror. The following were the
list OF offences that were left before them
to pass on
Ist larceny I'd. assault and battery :;
ID assault and battery with intent to
commit rape; 4th. obtaining goods
under false pretences 5th. Nuisance
lhe Grand Jury then retired to their
room, and the civil list was called over.
The list Of Attorneys was then called.
and their motions heard, and thus ended
the Monday of the Court.
On Monday night the usual amount
Of into1ication prevailed, but still we
think that it is gradually diminishing in
the land, the inebriation was confined to
those persons from the country who are
unaccustomed to drink, and on account
| OF increased price on liquor. they took
larger drinks, and consequently reached
the result sooner than they could do for
merly.
On Tuesday morning, the Common
wealth VS.. William K. Piper, was called
/ up, the defendants were not ready, and
attachments were taken out for witnesses
not in attendance on their part
Jury was then called and sworn in
the case of the Commonwealth VS.. James
! Updcgratf, George Updegraif and David
Johnston, for the larceny of a diamond
| for cutting glass. These defendants were
OF tender years, from ten to twelve years.
two OF them were white and one of them
was smoked Although they have been
here before once or twice they were ac
quilted.
The next case tried was the Common
wealth VS.. Rush Hawkins, a conductor
on the Pennsylvania Railroad, for assault
in collecting fare from Thomas McCabe,
this was small case, the Jury 70 und the
defendant not guilty and the prosecutor to
pay the costs.
Some small cases Of surety of the peace
was disposed of, and then the Court went
into the civil list So this is all we can
say of this weeks proceedings

Why Lincoln was Elected.

The election is now over, and the
Democratic party has manfully sustained
itself, notwithstanding a majority of the
people have surrendered their liberties to
Abraham Lincoln for four years and as
much longer as he wishes, and TO his sue
cessors after him, if he 80 wills it. We
never could see the reason why the peo-
pie did 80. He was not great military
hero, he was not "a renowned statesman,
ne was not citizen that has done the
country services that nations graft
sude would be poured forth to him,
for preserving its glory at homo or
abroad. He was not Cesar or Ma
poleon, whose achievements could be
pleaded as an excuse for the nations sub
mission. He is Commander-in-Chief of
the army and navy, and never saw a shot
fired in war. He has no idea of states
manship, but the amount of money il
brings in. His career has been disastrous
TO the lives and fortunes of his country
men, His personal qualities are not of
an elevated order, he is only noted for the
character of buffoon, whose conversa-
ton is noteworthy as medley of profane
Jests and obscene anecdotes. He sauan-
dered away millions of the lives Of his
feliow-citizen., without remorse, and is
still crying out for more money and more
blood, IN the pursuit of his favorite plan.
10 this man the Northern people have
surrendered their lives, their liberties, their
persons, and their purses; to have and 10
hold the same for four years, or as long
after as he chooses. 1t is plain if he
chooses, he may hold on for his natural
life, and may transmit the sceptre to his
defendants If he 30 wills it. There is
nothing in the world to prevent him if he
should feel so disposed. Lincoln was de-
termined to conquer at the ballot-box.
lhls was indicated from his military ar
rangements, his stationing soldiers about
the polls, the arrest of the New York
Commissioners, the prohibition of anv
tickets but his own in the fleet, his super
vision OF the voting in the army Add to
this, huge conspiracies have been discover
ed, designs to burn whole cities. TO oyer
throw the best Government under III.
sun, to stuff the balIot-box. to assist tho
confederate arms, and to do evervtb;n,r
that is awful. These discoveries yvaro
made just in time to save the country and
elect Lincoln. What blessingi Just
as the French General held an election of
'he notaoles IN the Halls of the Monte
zumas and elected Maximilian Emperor
Just as Louis Napoleon was elected him
seif and just as Augustus and Tiberius
got themselves elected tribunes of the peo- |
pie long after the power had concentrated
~ their own person. 1t was truly the !
most interesting election on record. and
VIII figure IN history very conspicuouslv.
1T there ever be another Presidential eIec-
'son held, which We very much doubt. !,
would be an excellent model to qo bv
but the Democratic party can afford to
wait

Drinks all Around.

Joe Harris was whole souled, mers
ry fellow, and very fond of his glass.
After living In New Orleans for several
years, he came to the conclusion that
he would visit an old uncle who lives
in Massachusetts, Now there is
difference between New Orleans and
Massachusetts in regard to the use of
ardent spirits; and when Joe arrived
there anG found all the people tenn
perate, he felt bad, thinking with the
famous old song, that keep the spirits
up by pouiing the spirits down" was
the best way to make the time pass,
and began to feel that he was III n
pickle. But on the morning after his
arrival in town, the old man and his
sons being out at work, his aunt came
to him and said: Joe, you've lived in
the South, and no doubt are in the
habit of taking something about eleven
o'clock. Now l keep some here for
medical purposes but let no one know
it, as my husband wants to set good
example for the boys
Joe promised, and thinking he
would get no more that day, took as
he expressed it, "buster." After
that he walked out to the stable, and
who should he meet but his uncle.
WELL says he, i suppose you are in
the habit Of drinking something down
in New Orleans, but YOU will find us
temperance folks here, and for my
sons, / don't let them know [ have
any brandy about, but / jest keep lit
tie out here for my rheumatism; will
you accept little ?"
Joe signifed his readiness and took
another horn. Then continuing his
walk, he went to where the boys were
building a fence After conyersing q
while one of his cousins said
Joe, expect you would like tc
have something to drink; and as the
folks are down on liquor, we keeT
some out here to help us along with
our work
Out came the bottle and down they
sat, and he says by the time they went
home he was as tight as he could be
and all from visiting a temperance
