nesp At q recent sitting ofthe Circuit Court
Of the United States at Cincinnati Judge
Ieavit caused to be read and enforced, late
act Of Congress requiring all the members of
Courts of Julicature, to subscribe an oath
4that they have never voluntarily borne arms
against the United States: have not given aid
Il counsel or encouragement to the rebellion"
&c. To this oath quite all the members of the
Bar cheerfully subscribed. Judge Thurman
and other modern Democrats under protest,
and Geo. E. Pugh and Mr. Cory utterly re-
fusing, on the ground of ''the unconstitution-
ality of the law" the latter "denying all alle-
glance to any other than State authority
The presiding Judge, however, persistently
claimed due execution of the law, disclaim-
ing his authority to interpose in the question
of its unconstitutionality-Mr. Cory filing a
statement ofhis exceptions, which may be ar
gued when Judge Swain shall take his seat.
AS yet Mr.. Pendleton has not been heard on
this subject. Should further proceedings be
had, something rich may be expected The
conscientious scrvples Of modern Democrat
ic juglery, are nearly played out

BGH" The TELEGRAPH of this week, is nee
essarily occupied, to the exclusion of quite all
other matter, with statement of the progress of
the conflict between the Army of the Potomac,
under the command of Lieut. Gen. Grant,
and that of the rebels, under Lee, which COM
menced on Thursday, the 3lst ult, and ter
minated on Sunday, the 9th inst: ten days of
memorable conflict, when Gen. Lee capitu-
lated, surrendering TO the Federal forces all
his command still remaining, including arms,
artillery, and public property. The series of
engagements which interviewed between the
opening and closing of the late conflict, were
the most brilliant of the war, and are without
parallel, in point Of splendor'and magnitude
in the military history of the world AS will
be seen, the campaign was opened by Gen.
Grant, partly offensive so far as asssauling
the defences of Petersburg, but calculated and
really did compel Lee to abandon his defences
at Richmond, and fight mainly on open
ground in defence of the former, when his
main army was pierced by the indomitable
Federals and driven, the one part south, and
the other into Richmond, which resulted in
the evacuation Of both cities by the rebel forces

E6n Fouryears since, the country was with
out nn army, navy, or funds in the Treasu-
ry, and rebellion was rife as we'll North as in
the South. Last fall, pending the State and
National elections, it was claimed by the op
position, that the war with rebellion, which
they attributed to the North, had made no pro-
gress, Notwithstanding the sacrifice both of
blood and treasure and now the opposition
to the great measures Of the Government, in
the face of its triumphs are mute and reticent
refusing to plead further in this connection.
Is it not this evidence Of their respect for
the authorities whom they have reviled, and
censure ofthe antecedents they heretofore pos
sessed?

FROM EUROPE.

New York, April THE steamship China,
from Liverpool the 18th ult, via Queenstown
the Goth, arrived. Her. radvices are three days
later. -
In the House of Lords, Russell laid on the
table notification from Mr.. Adams, of the
intention of the American Government to
terminate the reciprocity treaty and conven-
ton relating to armed force on the Lakes
He said the treaty would terminate twelve
months from the day the receipt of the notice
was acknowledged. He admitted that the acts
committed on the Lakes fnlly justified the
American Government in the steps taken with
regard to reciprocity He trusted it might be
renewed with certain notifications; also, that
arrangements be made for limited amount OF
police service on the Lakes He trusted the
present pacific relations between the two Gov
ernments might continue, and trusted nothing
would be done in England to interrupt them.
He, however, regretted that speeches had
been made in the Commons calculated to ex-
cite an unfavorable feeling in America, and
concluded by declaring that England had not
acted wrongfully in any way toward America,
and reiterating his hopes for continued peace:
He said Sir F. Bruce, the new minister, would
sail Saturday, and be believed the dignity and
honor Of the country would be safe in his
hands
In the Commons, the Marquis of Harding
ton moved avote for the fortihcations, includ-
ing $4,000 as part of 100000 required for
Quebec A long debate ensued Harrington
explained that the total estimate for Quebec
and Notifications was 100000
1t was necessary, now the United States had
become a.great military power, to place Can
ada in state of defense--although the Gov
eminent had not the slightest expectation that
the United States contemplated an attack.
Bentinck objected to the Government
scheme, and moved the omission of the item
for Quebec from the estimates.
The merits Of the questson were debated by
General Peel, Adderly, Disr@li, Lord Barry,
Cardwell, and others, who supported the vote.
Bright and Lowe were the principal speakers
againstthe measure. @ eaf -

CotumJus ApWS, 1856. God of bat
ties has blessed our armies, and the glorious
cause of human freedom and under his ap-
proving smiles the patriotic and brave men in
the field, have achieved unparalleled triumphs
The rebel capital has been conquered and Civ
ell back to the Onion, and the army that held
| it in rebellion has been broken and scattered
The military power ofthe rebellion the strong
est obstacle to peace, has received terrible
shock, and our gallant armies are pursuing it
to final extinction For all this we owe praise
and thanksgiving to Almighty God. In rccog-
niton OF the services and sacrifices of our no
bic soldiers, and rejoicing overt the triumph of
the right, the crushing Of the rebellion, and
an early return to peace and prosperity in the
land, it is therefore recommended that Friday,
the l4th day of April being the anniversary
of the fall of Fort Sumter, be generally OBJ
served by hcpeople of the State as day Of
thanksgiving to God, and general rejoicing
That religious assemblages and observance
mark the daN,and the evening be given to
bonfres, illumiuations, and the laundering of

such other manifestations as may be suggest
ed, to appropriately mark the heroic deeds of
our armies and the general joy of our people
