16. Resozoed, That the four dollars
Commutation Tax is oppressive, ,and ought
to be repealed
II. Resozred, That freedom of speech.
of the press, and of elections, ,ha5eas cor
pas and trial by jury, are the birthright
of all American citizens, guaranteed by
both Federal and State Constitutions: that
we will maintain and defend them as such
in every extremity; and that we denounce
especially the arrest of citizens by mill
tary authority in States or places where
the civil tribunals are unmolested. and
their execution, Imprisonment or trial by
military commissions, as palpable infrac-
tions of the Constitution, and outrageous
upon public liberty and private life.
Is Resozucd, That the continued sus-
pension of the writ of habeas corpus since
the termination of the war, and when all
pretense of necessityis passed-the deni-
al of the right of trial by jury, and the
trial Of citizens not in the military service
by military commissions-and the open
interference with elections by military
power, as in the recent instances in Ken
lucky and Tennessee-are revolutionary

to meet with the most determined oppo-
sition and most sleepless vigilance.
10. Resolved, That, while we will, res
olutely and persistently, condemn all in
fractions of the Constitution, by whom
soever committed, and while we regret
that the terms of paciication agreed to by
Maj. Gen. Sherman in April last t,were not
at once ratified by the Federal Executive,
we will, nevertheless, stand by President
johnson In all Constitutional efforts to
Immediately restore to the States the ex-

Almost a Tragedy.

1t was a calm, clear evening in the
month of August, 1865 when might have
been seen two young and loving creatures
of the different sexes, sitting lovingly
nigh unto each other, talking over the
past, and forming plans for the future,
when they would be one flesh in the sight
of God, and the citizens of Il gen.
orally. As old "Sol' was casting his last
feeble rays upon the highest tree tops of
the Western hills, land the little stars were
about to step forth for nights ramble,
who should appear before the gay "lov-
yer" but dashing soldier man, fresh
from the wars" he wore at his side a
mammoth revolver, which attracted the
attention of the damsel, and she asked
permission to examine the terrible weap-
on, which, in the language of the bold
soldier man, had slain scores of Johnnys
He passed the revolver into her fair hand,
remarking that she could look at it with
safety, as it was not loaded. She exam
ined the weapon for time, praised its
beauty and usefulness, ,and then drew back
the hammer and playfully pointed the
muzzle at the bosom of her ''lovyer," Ed
ward, pulled the trigger, and Edward atill
lived, as the pistol went not off. Again
she drew the hammer back, pointed the
weapon at the swan-like neck of Edward,
pulled the trigger, and loud report fol-
lowed, and Edward, her Edward, fell to
the ground, his crimson blood dying the
earth. Angeline gazed upon the pros
trate form, and beheld the life-blood flow
ing from the wound in Edwards neck
She raised her hands to HEAVIER, gave one
sharp, piercing. agonizing scream, and fell
in deathly swoon across the prostrate
form of her 'slovyer,'' with whom mo-
ment before she had been holding
