Double-Distilled Rascalitv,

Charles RidIay, colored soldier, was
lately convicted in the Montgomery Coun.
ty Courts, for murder and sentenced to the
Psnitentia-y. Andy Curtin has pardon.
ed him and set him loose upon the conmu.
nifty again to murder white citizens. The
reason doubtless is that Ridlsy was 10y al
abolition niger.
Fish, the late Provo Marshal of Balti-
more, and Colonel of Connecticut Resi.
nent, was tried by committee of war and
convicted of robbng the Government He
was sentenced to pay five thousand dollars
and work one year in the Albany Peni-
tentary. Old Abe has pardoned him and
get him at liberty, The reason was, that
Fish was proven to be loyal thief and
scoundrel.
We doubt whether there are two great.
er knsves in the country than Curtin and
Lincoln. There are certainly no greater
enemies to Claw and order" anywhere in
power. Common justice require, their
dethronement.

SuRaIoAL.--Amopg the many surgical
eases which have been operated upon with
in few days, DR.. Up De Graf, at his In.
6rmary in his place, was that OF the child
of Mrs. Mary Staruer, of Truxville,i in this
county. This child was born blind. The
operation was witnessed by some twenty
citizens, who we're curious to know how IL
was possible to restore the sight of one
who from the time IL FIRST breathed had
never seen the glorious light.
The child was properly secured and
placed in the hands of an attendant, Of
steady hand and as quick as thought the
instrument was seen within the eye. The
difficulty within. the eye could be distinctly
seen By lookers.on. In an instant the eye
is seen to clear up bright and liquid. The
child stops crying, looks strangely about,
and seems puzzled: it is in new world.
1t sees. Whispered expressions Of aston
ishmcnt are heard from bystanders. The
doubtful no longer doubt the mother
weeps with joy, while the forbidden tear
is seen in many sympathetic eye. All
are delighted. But the doctor seems calm
and thinks it nothing strange. These
things occur every day with him.

Rebel Starvation,

One of the correspondents with Grant g
army thus dispels the idea of rebel star
walton. He says "The country is abun.
dainty supplied with everything. Grena.
ries are filled with corn until they over.
flow. Gardens grow all the luxuries Of
the season. Focks and herds have no,
deserted the pastures and hills. Corydon
and Thyrsis eat their country's messes in
the shade. Fowls frequent the barn yards,
and the dove cotes are not abandoned by
their meek and innocent inmates. Our
horses wade through clover knee deep and
the growing wheat brushes their sides as
they pass through it, Immense tracts are
filed with thriving corn fields. We have
very serious doubts, engendered by our
late experience of ever starving the Con.
federacy, and we look for the end only b y
hard fighting, in connection with General
Grants left flank strategy"

Abolishing Slavery.

In the House of Representatives, on
Wednesday,th bill or resolution proposing
amendments 10 the Constitution of the
United States, abolishing slavery through
out the Union, was defeated. The vote
ninety-four ayes to sixty-five nays, being
eleven short of two.thirds. But three
Democrats voted for it, viz Messrs.
Bully, of Penn, Odel, of New York and
Griswold, ofNew York.
1t thus fell eleven yeas short ofthe two
thirds necessary for its adoption. The
House was very full one at the time Of
calling the yeas and nays on this question,
sad the vote was the largest one there has
been this session. Mr.. Ashley, of Ohio,
subsequently, gave Eotice that he would
move reconsideration of the vote, and
the matter will probably be postponed
ELL the next session.

A SWARM oE OFFICE HoLDERs.- The
Abolitionists have arranged matters so
That almost every third man of their party
. an Office holder, but even this does not
seem 10 content them OF satisfy their greed
for place and profit. We now find that
they have introduced into Congress a bill
to take u. S. census iu ls65-hereto-
fore it has been taken every ten years.
They make this move on the presumption
that old Abe will be elected for another
term. and they want to fix things so that
employment will be furnished TO several
thousand more of the Loyal Leaguers, too
cowardly to enter the army, but all eager
to devote themselves to the support of
the Government" for pay.
One of the grievances that the Aneri.
can colonists urged against King George
Ill. in justification of their Declaration of
Independence. was this. How sptly
would its words apply to our present Ru-
ler;
" lie has erected a s,ultitude of ney off.
ces, and sent h,ther sWdrms of o6icers 10
harass on, people, and cal out their sub.
Hancs."
