The Position of Deserters and Non-Report-
ing Conscripts.

By the terms of an act Of Congress ap
proved the Sd day of March, 1865, deser
ters from the army and conscripts who
have failed to report to the proper officers
are placed in woful plight. If we read
the terms of the act of Congress Alright
all those referred to therein, have forfeit,
ed their citizenship, are to all intents and
purposes, in the position Of aliens debar-
red from the exercise of all political rights
and the holders of all Offices of trust and
profit under the Government The act
of Congress distinctly declares that
"All persons who have deserted the
military or naval service Of the United
States, who shall not return to the said
service or report themselves to provost
marshal within sixty days after the proc
lamatlon hcreinafter mentioned, shall be
deemed and taken to have voluntarily re-
linquished and forfeited their rights as
citizens and such deserters shall be for
ever incapable of holding any Office Of
trust or profit under the United States, or
of exercising any rights of citizens there
of; and all persons who shall hereafter
desert the military or naval service, and
all persons who being duly enrolled, shall
depart the jurisdiction of the district in
which he was enrolled, or go beyond the
limits of the United States, with the in
tent to avoid any draft into the military
or naval service duly ordered, shall be IL
able to the penalties of this section. And
the President is hereby authorized and
required forthwith, on the passage Of this
act, to issue his proclamation setting forth
the provisions Of this section, in which
proclamation the President is requested
to notify all deserters returning within
sixty days. as aforesaid, that they shall be
pardoned on condition of returning to
their regiments and companies, or to such
other organizations as they may be as
signed to, unless they shall have served
for period time equal to their original
term of enlistment"
On the 10th of March, 1865, the Pres
ident of the United States issued his
Proclamation in accordance with this Act.
There is 10 mistaking this law All draf-
ted men, who failed to report, are no Ion
ger citizens of this country. All enroll
ed men, whether drafted or not, who ab-
sented themselves from the places in
which they are enrolled, to avoid being
drafted, are no longer citizens. All such
have lost the right to vote. They are,
in the Judgment of the law, aliens, though
they may have been born here. The law
fixes the penalty and the people who have
stood by the government, should see to
its enforcement.

a Fast Youth.

The Allentown, Pa, paper says that
some mouths ago young man about 10
years of age, the son Of respectable pa
rents near Bethlehem, forged the name
of his father to note and sold it to a
citizen of Bethlehem. He spent the pro-
ceeds on pleasure tour to Philadelphia.
When the note fell due it was presented
to the father who at once pronounced it a
forgery, but in order to save the family
from being disgraced, he paid it. When
the boy returned his father had him ar
rested, but he was finally discharged with
a sharp reprimand from the Justice. But
he did not seem to profit much by this
kind treatment. a short time thereafter
he demanded some money Of his mother,
threatened to knock out her brains if she
refused. The old lady, through fear COM
piled with his demands and gave him the
money. lie came to Allentown, got a
woman of bad repu.e TO go with him to
Philadel phia where they fiourished until
the money was all gone, when he return

Instead of handing over the greenbacks
the old gentleman went to Bethlehem

Romance in Real Life.

Among the cases of divorce before Judge
Allison, year ago, (says the Philadelphia
North American,) was that of a person who
was married to lady of whom he grew
weary. She also had grown weary ofnegect
and contumclicus treatment, and, with very
little reluctance, permitted him to obtain a
divorce. He very soon afterwards married q
female, ga live rosebud" He didn't at first
feel the thorns, but was not long in discover
ing tha: he held a dangerous prize. The
after marriage showed her true coiorS. The
slightest deviation from her orders was fol-
lowed by condlgn punishment, and in mo-
ments of anger the most convenient missile
was hurled at his devoted caput. 1.-The thTca-
tened she would smash a quantity Of china
ware, or hurl porcelain vase at his head,
irrespective of its cost. If he frowncd she
would belabor him with the first suitable
utcns that came within her reach. On
Tuesday she visited him at his office, and
not complying with some request made, she
fell upon hun. She struck him upon
the temple with a heavy metallic INK
stand, beat him with paper weights, and
tore from his head sufficient hair TO make q
dozen large-sized mourning rings.
The husband couldn't endure this lie

editing daily paper, or doing long duty as
an omnibus horse, made his appera nee with

0r Soldiers! does it not disgust you to
undergo the fawnings the copperheads are
now lavishing upon you? They denounced
you when you enlisted to fight for the flag as
Lincoln Hirelings," they refused TO contrib
ute TO aid you when sick and wounded, and
lauded the men in Congress who "neye- voted
a man or dollar" to re- nforce and pay you;
and they desired to disfranchise you by yot-
ing against the Constitutional Amendments
giving you right to vote IN the field but
now seeing that through your sacrifices,
courage and valor the rebellion has been put
down, they hope by patting you on the shoul-
ders, and with fnlsom fattery, that you will
forget their treachery to you and that you
will give them your votes, for ;hey well und-
erstand that without this they can never get
into power.
