married forthwith. but difficulty arose

Two Rebels Shot and Burned.

Among the tragic events which attend
ed the recent confagration Of the borough
of Chambersburg, Pa, was the shoot
ing Of two rebels by DR.. Andrew Miller,
while they were,in the act of burning his
store and dwelling. 1t appears that after
the shop had been set on fire twice by
igniting paper, he succeeded in re-enter-
gin his house, and one of them struck the
doctor on the cheek with bit of burn
ing pine wood dipped in turpentime, and
he carries the scar yet, They then caught
hold of demijohn of alcohol, breaking
which the flames instantly envelped the en-
tire store. sthe ruffans were making the
best of their way out, and coming toward
DIR. Miller, he seized double batreled
gun, each barrel loaded with six slugs,
and gave them the contents of a, barrel
each. The first one was hit in the face,
and the other received the charge in his
breast. Both feIl, and the doctor shut
the door, and they were consumed in the
funeral pyre their own hands had lighted

In CONSEQUENCE, the Legislature passed
TIE act of May 4, 1864, authorizing a
loan for the purpose of refunding, with
interest, the amount thus advanced, in
case Congress should fail to make the
necessary appropriation at its then current
session.
| regret to say that Congress adorned
without making such appropriation. The
balance in the Treasury being found sufh-
cient to reimburse the funds so advanced
without unduly diminishing the Sinking
Fund, have deemed it advisable not to
advertise for proposals for the loans, and
| recommend the passage of an act direct
ing the payment to be made out of the
motley id the Treasury.
As the omission of Congress to act on
this subject involved disregard of the good
faith of the national authorities, 1 recon-
mend that the Legislature take measures
for procuring an appropriation at the next
session of Congress
The revenue bill passed at the last ses-
sion has been found to be defective in
several points, and L recommend a care
full and immediate revision of it.,
The Bounty bill passed at the last ses-
sion is found to be defective and unjust
in many of its provisions, and from the
manner in which it is administered in some
parts of the State, oppressive on the peo-
pie.

ion of it, as the present session has been
called for the consideration of matters of
vital public Importance.

Supreme Court ofNevada-Strange
Story. rTsf

The Supreme Court of the Territory of
Nevada is not exactly model institution,
according to the Virginia City Union
The Court is called to pass upon issues Of
great pecuniary magnitude, and its deter
mination of questions submitted to it are
generally final, for few suitors care to take
an appeal to the Supreme Court of the
United States, as those who in the early
days of the Territory did appeal, have never
heard of their cases since. Important as Is
the Territorial Court, it appears to have
been very unfortunate in Judges. Judge
Jones resigned the position of Associate
Justice, being accused of legal incom-
potency. Judge Mott also resigned, rumors
being rife of purchased opinions of nights
of wassail, and days spent at the gaming
table, where the product of judicial infamy
was won back by the instigators of Judicial
corruption. Judge North, who succeeded
Judge Mott has been the subject of savage
public attacks, and the Union reports the
following grave rumors" concerning
Judge Locke who succeeded Judge Jones:
1t is said that just before the late inn
portant decision in the case of the Chollar
VS.. the Potosi was made, party of four
gentlemen, one of whom was well-known
lawyer ofthis city, and another,a well known
capitalist went into Locke's room and ac-
cused him of having been bribed by the
holders of Potosi stock to decide against
the Chollar. On his denial of the charge,
one of the party produced pistol, and, BY
threatening his life, compelled him TO sign
such modification of his concurrence in
the opinion of Judge North as they dictated;
it is further alleged that one of the party
then told him he must resign and leave the
Territory, and that this was the reason
why he failed to appear at the District
Court room yesterday morning according
to arrangement with Judge North.

Candidates at national conventions are
usually nominated in order that they may
be elected. Mr.. Lincoln was nominated in
order that he might be defeated. His election
will depend upon three things: first, upon
the course taken by the friends of Mr.. Chase.
Second, upon the course taken by those
delegates (and the constituencies which
they represent) whose real preferences are
for Fremont, but who for the sake of har-
mony in the convention stifled those con-
victions and voted for Lincoln. And third,
upon military success. / am far better

which Mr.. Chase's friends stand than at the

reiterate now what l said then. The in
fluence of Mr.. Chase and of his friends will
not be used in favor of the election Of Mr..
Lincoln, but will be thrown, with all the
weight they command and with all the
power they can WELD in favor of that man
who, in October next, shall stand head
and shoulder above any other man in point
of availability. 1t may be Mr.. Chase him
self. 1t is more likely to be General Free

1t is not in times like these that party
usages or party rules will restrain the ac-
ton of so powerful body of men as will
rally under Mr.. Chase. To the shame OF

expressed in it was more loudly applauded
than that uttered by Mr.. Breckenridge, Of
Kentucky, that the right OF revolution was
incorporated in the Constitution, and that
