Philip 4. Kline.


We gather from his correspondence the
following facts relative TO the arrest, trial
aud Imprisonment and death of the excel
lent young man whose name heads this
article.
He was a resident of Montour county, in
Distric, in which several supplementary
drafts had been made, aud from which the
drafted men generally fled. He having a
wife and TWO young children dependant up
on him, remained at his business, and at
last The fatal wheel turned his name to The
light.
He was a christian and entertained con-
scieatious scruples against fighting. He
was drafted in the place of men who had
kept out of the way and never reported,
and he believed that those first drafted
should be first sought They were permit
ted 10 escape bot heswas arrested. He put
in his plea at Troy, but was answered that
he was ''no Queksr," and the plea was
treated contemporary.
He was sen! 10 Camp Curtin and after
remaining there soma lime was finally
brought before general court martial, and
then came the

We HAVE always believed and taught that
the people are not, in their sober moments,
heartily supporting the radical crusade but
that they are deceived deIuded and misIed
BY men who in former times were preach
ers of the gospel and spiritual guides TO
their Aocks
As an example in point we refer to The
action of the Old and New School Assem-.
blies of the Presbylerians, where The sin of
secession, rebellion, slavery, Sc &c. must
be confessed aud repenled Of before the
Southern people can be restored 10 church
fellowship. That measure was carried, be-
cause the clergy and laity do not vote by
orders. and the men laiely and aptly term
ed Blood Hounds of Zion," could, lhere-
fore, control the entire body. The result is,
christian brotherhood, kindness and charity
are no where found in the proceedings OF
the ssem5ies-nolhing but the dark spirit
Of puritan persecution and The ''stand off,
am holier than thou" doctrine. 1t would
be foolish and disgraceful as political action,
what then is ii in a body, claiming to be
ecclesiastical, not to say christian
The same thing was attempted in the
Episcopal General Convention in 1862. On
test vote the radicals carried seUen States by
the vote of the clergy, voting by orders I;
but could carry only tucO States by the votes
of the lay deputies. 1t is an important and
significant fact. The preachers are wrong,
the people are conservative Union-loving,
honest The time for gospel preaching
is returning, and refreshing OF the Holy
Spirit will return to answer The prayers OF
those seven thousand who have not bowed
the knee TO Baal. Let The people thank
God and take courage, for the time of their
deiverance is at hand

The comptroller OF the currency a cer-
Tain Mr.. Freeman Clarke, writes letter TO
Connecticut Bank man about the prop
osiiion introduced inio the Legislature OF
that wooden-nutmeg aooIition-ioyal State,
proposing TO tax The 1905; and takes oc.
casion thereupon TO argue against The res
lofation policy of President Johnson, for
fear the South might help the radicals repu-
diaie the 'igreat national blessing of an
enormous debt
Now, ii is significant fact, that the only
parties, who, so far, have proposed TO re-
pudiate are Wendell Phillips and loyal Con
neciicui. No Democrat or Democratic State
has offered or advocated repudiation, nor
has any Southern man or State; and il is
certainly a gralulous insult on the part
OF Clarke TO assume that Democrats or
Southern men would follow such scurvy
leaders as Phillips and his Connection. con-
lferes.
Bot the coolest thing in the comp,roller's
Ietler-in view OF the fact that with one or
two exceptions, all the ':loyal States" have
repeatedly "repudialed or nulIified consti>
tnlional acts OF Congress ;'-is the follow
ing.
'sli is source of regret that any North
ern State should for single moment coun-
tenance an aIIempt TO repudiaie or nuIify a
constitutional aci Of Congress, and one, too
that was deemed necessary 10 preserve the
integrity OF The naiion."
II 'Norihern S.ates" had always faith
fully iulhlled their constitutional obligations,
never nullified acts OF Congress necessary
TO preserve the integrity of the Union, new
er repudiated their obligations as one OF The
members of the Confederacy, we should
have bad no civil war, no national debt, no
ssven-thirlies, and last and least, no comp
lroIler of the currency.

THE OATH OF ArroRsErs.-The act Of congress
compelling attorneys to take extremely rigid oath
before continuing to Practice in the United States
courts, is matter which has been commented on oy
parties interested with good degree of earnestness
The subject of the consttutionaty Of this act recently
came before Judge Trgg in the United States district
court for eastern Tennessee for his decision. We
give a brief abstract of the opinion of the court
Judge Trgg takes the ground that when lawyer Is
admitted in the usual form to practice in the courts, he
becomes an officer of such courts, and amenable to
them for his good conduct As such officer attorney
have right to practice until the court, upon good
cause shall proper to strike their from the
roll of attorneys. 1t is no doubt within the power
of congress TO exclude lawyer from the practice of
his profession In the United States courts who has
committed and been convicted of crime; bst it does
not follow that when act is DONE and after the
mission of it. person admitted to the privileges of
the courts that congress has power to declare the act
unlawful or If unlawful the time it committed,

means exclude the attorney This would be ex post

contestant to have been guilty of some one of the acts
