COIN AFTER RECRUITs.-Captain Wallen
started down the Dellas to Vancouver, to
bring up party of recruits to fight the
locomotive Indians. He stopped for the
night at the Cascades, in the house of an old
man called "Uncle Sammy" an inquisitive
old fellow, about eighty-six and deaf as a
haddock. After supper, the old man, old
woman, and Wallen drew up chairs around
blazing wood fire. The old man immedi.
ately commenced plying the brake (good
expression for PUMP: o.
"Whatarey You goin' daown to the maouth
of the river for?"
"After recruits" replied Wallen at the
top of his voice. .rr.
"Hey?"
"After recruits" roared Wallen again.
"Can't hear ye." .....
Then the old lady moved round, and put
ting her mouth to the old mans ear, shouted,
In voice that would have done credit to
Stentor after he'd got little in years:
"He's a-goin' daown-arter recruits-su-

lady wasn't so far out of the way after all.

Status of the Negro i'm Richmond
and Petersburg y Adj djournmen
Of tlie Virginia LegisIature.

NEW YORK, June N.-The Herald's Rich
mond and Petersburg correspondence says
Gen. Terry, commanding at Richmond, has
issued an order announcing that slavery
having ceased to exist in Virginia, all the
State and municipal laws restraining tie
personal liberty of colOred people have be-
come obsolete, and that hereafter the color
ed people will enjoy the same personal lib
erty as the whites, and be subject to only
the same restraints and punshments. Va
grancy, however, will not be permitted on
the part OF the negroes, any more than on
that of white citizens. The testimony of
colored persons. he also states, will be re-
ceived in all cases before the military courts
in his Department.
General hartsuff, commanding at Peters,
burg, Va, has forbidden, in an official order,
the holding of any more meetings by the
planters to establish a fixed price for the
labor Of the negroes or to make distinction
prejudicial to their interests, and no differ
ence in the rate of compensation for the
same labor by whites and blacks is to be al
lowed.
The Virginia Legislature adjourned sine
die Friday evening last, after session of
five days. Nearlyall the measures reGuir-
ed by Governor Pierpont to assist him in
the work OF reconstructMg the State Gov
ernment were passed, eliciting little or no
debate in their passage. The most impor-
tant of these was that of extending the
elective franchise to persons who were ex-
cluded from it by the Alexandria Constitu-
tion. These persons are those who have
voluntarily given aid and comfort to the
rebellion since the lstday of January, 1864.
The election for members OF Congress and
of tne new Legislature is to take place on
the 18th of next October. At this election
the people are also to decide whether the
Legislature shall have the power to repeal
the constitutional provision which excludes
from holding office all who have been en-
gagged in the rebellion.

MIR. Bingham's Argument.

WASHINGTON, June 27.--The argument OF
Mr.. Bingham, special Judge Advocate, in
reply to the several arguments in defense
of Mary E. Surratt and others, contains the
following points: -!
Thefebellion, in aid of which this con-
spiracy was formed and this great public
| crime committed, was prosecuted for the
vindication Of no right, for the redress of
no wrong, but was itself simply criminal
| conspiracy and organized assassination. As
the court had already overruled the plea OF
the jurisdiction, he would pass it over
In silence, but for the fact that it had been
gravely argued by counsel for the accused.
Denying the authority of the President to
constitute this commission is an averment
that this tribunal is not court of Justice,
has no legal existence, and no power TO hear
and determine the issue joined. In making
this averment counsel should show how the
President could otherwise discharge the
duty enjoined upon him by his oath to pro-
tect, preserve and defend the Constitution
| and take care that the laws be faithfully ex-
| ecuted.
AS to the assertion that civil courts are
open in this District, he answered, they are
| closed throughout half of the Republic,
and are open in the District only 'by the
force of the bayonet. Withdraw the mill
tary forces, and would the rebel bands in
testing the vicinity allow their confederates
here to be tried in this or any other court.
The conspirator who assassinated the
President was not arrested by civil pro-
cess, but pursued by military power, cap
tured and slain. Was this an act of usur-
patton? Who in all the land is bold enough
or base enough to assert it? If the Presi-
dent is justified in this act, what law con-
| npnnnc him his t;ro ;,,l
and subjecting to trial according to militia
ry laws, all other parties to this conspiracy!
The Judge Advocate argued that the
Court, having been constituted by the
President it was not in their power, as in
feriors, to disObey and declare the act an
usurpation; besides, the Supreme Court had
decided that the action of judicial officers
is the recognition OF the authority from
which 1t is derived. The proposition was
| absrud. Gentlemen might as we'll ask the
| Supreme Court to decide that the President
had no authority to nominate and the Sem
ate had no authority to confirm the Judges
comprising that Court.
The Judge Advocate proceeded at length
in reply to the argument of counsel, citing
precedents and sustaining the action of
Government. He showed that all the proc
lamations the President issued during the
rebellion, for the suppression of the same,
and among them the one providing for the
trial of all rebels and insurgents their aid
ers or abettors, by courts-martial or militia
ry commission, were ratified by Congress;
also, that the Supreme Court had decided
that so much of the three proclamations as
provided for the courts-martial or military
commissions needed no ratification.
The Judge Advocate did not review the
testimony.

CIRcLEyILLE. Feb. 18th. lsf


The Warm Air Furnace invented and
manufactured by Mr.. Peter Martin, of Gin
cinnati, was put into the Union school
building OF this city in November last, and
thus far it has given entire satisfaction. 1t
surpasses other furnaces in the following
important particulars: 1t has, compara-
lively a greater heating surface eproduces
a larger volume of heat with given amount
of fuel; the condition of the air in respect
to temperature, moisture and purity, is SUI
perior; the admission of cold air, the sup
ply of warm air for the several rooms, and
the fires, are more easily regulated.
To avoid scorching and decomposing the
| air, as is done, to some extent, by other hot
air furnaces, and to secure to each room an
abundant supply of pure, fresh air, warmed
to apleasant temperature, as well as to pro-
tect the wrought-iron air-fues from
the effects of the fire, it is essential that
the warm air-fues leading to the school
rooms, should be at least twelve
inches In diameter. This will insure the
influx of such large and rapid current OF
fresh air as to prevent the wrought-iron
flues from being ngoverheated, and thus secure
the durability of the furnace, and keep the
warm air in healthful condition. 1t is
deemed proper to State in this connection,
that our Board of Education was induced
to order Mr.. Martins Furnace, because two
other furnaces had been previously used in
our school edifice without satisfactory re-
suits, and because, after careful examina-
tion of large number OF furnaces and
other modes of warming school houses and
other public editices, not only in Western,
but also in Eastern cities, Mr.. Martins was
believed to be decidedly the best. L
