To make him happy here.

But the great sin which Mr. johnson has COM
mtted consists in his defeating the chances of
these Abolition 'FalstalIs" for Office in the
Southern States. By his mole Reorganization
these questions of Office are left to the people of
the States, to whom they of right belong where
as, by the Beecher and Greeley plan, every
office from that of Provisional Governor down
TO the smallest sub. would have been filled from
among the citizens of the North, who, although
anxious for the war, and Jealous in their efforts
to convince their neighbors that duty required
them to shoulder the mysket, remained at home
to reap the reward of other mems labor. Who
has ever questioned the right of Rhode Island TO
disfranchise that portion of her people who are
too poor or are unwilling to become freeholders?
or the right of Massachusetts to appoint "Hiss
Committees" clothed with power to investigate
nunneries and violate all the rules of dccency by
entering the chambers of decnceless women?
These are rights which they claim to belong to
them in virtue of State sovereignty. While we
do not believe that the President or any other
well thinking man would be willing to see these
Massachusetts extremes adopted in his own State,
we feel sure that the rights which he claims in
his Mississippi proclamation for the people, are
rights which properly belong to them, and the
principle there laid down is the only one in the
present crisis a wise and prudent statesman could
with safety adopt.
We claim to be among those who can and do
give credit to whomsoever credit is due, and
consequently we shall unhesitatingly sustain
every act of Mr.. johnson which we believe to be
right, and shall in no case hesitate TO condemn
those which we believe TO be wrong.

The Confederate General Huger, of South
Carolina, who at the commencement of the re-
bellion was the commandant of the Pikesvie

troops through that city in 1861, was among

despatch received mt General Dodge's head
quarters, st. Louis, states that the emigration
across the plains this season far exceeds that
OF any previous year. During the month of May
1000 wagons passed Fort Kcarney, and trains
continue to pass thatpo in large numbers
The emigrantS are bound for Idaho, Montana,
Salt Lake, California and other Places The
Indians had not molested the em;grants to any
noticeable extent and all the routes are consid-
cred safe. Troops are stationed at the various
posts, and afford ample protection to the trains
a delegation Of gentlemen from Richmond
consisting of j. Alfred Jones, r. A. Lancaster,

An address, signed by S. F. Beach, L. Hill

'committee Of correspondence of the Virginia

policy of Gov. Pierpont, the action of the late
Virginia Legislature, &c. The address con-
cludes by stating that the association has deter
mined TO appeal TO President johnson for re-
dress of alleged grievances, and that its members
have unanimously agreed ''to secure the elective
franchise to our coored population, as soon as it
can be safely done and, meanwhile, to establish
strong and loyal government either military

clearer case of murder was never proven,
and jury acquitted the prisoners after a
brief elaboration.
In the other ease a father and three
sons, armed with guns, rode to the place
where anephew Ct the former was at work,
assisted 10y his uncle JOHN p Paca aud
Alfred Jones, the persons killed, were In
the act of putting upa fence, and were
unarmed. Bad feeling had previously ex-
listed between the parties, but nothing
passed after VIM. i. Paca reached the
ground 20 lead his nephew and Jones to
to suppose violence was meditated against
either Of them. Scarcely had the father
and his sons alightcd from the carriage be.
fore John p Paca and Jones were shot
down. The father coohy assured the
mother Of one Of the deceased, who rush.
ed to the victims side, that the deed
would have happened sooner or later, aud
that the Government would protect them.
The theory that the accused acted in self
defence was a"'in adopted. 1t was asscr-
ted that John p. Pnca raised in threat
cning manner Il rammcr with which he had
been RAINING down the earth around the
post. Thus two young men, who had with
them only such implements as are usually
used in building fences, are supposed to
have attempted deadly assault on four
full grown men, each of whom was heavily
armed. The july was assured by one of
the counsels that if VIM b. Paca should
be hanged, the grass that covered him
would not grow over traitors grave
This is the key to the acquittal which fol-
lowed, for it is incredible that any one
who has read the case can have any rea-
sonablc doubt that VIM b. Paca and his
sons we're guilty of the murder of Alfred
jones with which they Stood charged.
The impression produced upon the pub.
lie by these trials is, as we have said,
painful. Men begin to recall the differ
ent periods in the histories of other nations
when, 10 times of high excitement, parti.
san tribunals exactcd no penalties of their
friends and melted out scant justice to
their enemies. Are we to fall upon those
evil days in which u mans acquittal or
conviction upon any charge can be predic,
ted as soon as he is indicted ?
We have already passed through much
but better war, civil or foreign, than
the state of that nation whose peooo have
lost all respect for the purity and integrity
of their Courts. Should we reach that
point, and we seriously fear we are tend
ing towards it, confusion and anarchy are
awaiting US in the not distant future.

Our Schools.

The semi-annual Soiree and Exhibition of the
Seminary conducted by the Misses Jeffary, took
place on Friday evening last and was well at
tended by the parents and friends of the young
ladies.
The improvement Of the young ladies in music
evinced the ability of their instructors, Prof.
Garretson and Miss Chamberlain. The follow
ing pieces were performed
Clearance Lee-"Humming Bird Polka" Lucy

with great pleasure and attention by the audi
ence. After which the Rev. 7. S. C. Smith pre-
sented the gold medals for department and schol-
arsbip to Misses Malie Glenn and Elizabeth D.
Munnikhuysen.
We cannot refrain from expressing our gratifi-
ton that Hartford county has now such excellent
opportunities for the education of its youth, both
male and female; and we cannot commend too
highly the schools in this village
The Female Seminary under the charge of the
Misses Jeffrey has been in successful operation for
several years, and no higher recommendation
can be given to it than the lady-like department
and varied accomplishment of its graduates and
students.
Mrs. G. V. Buffers and Miss Bette Hamiton's
Boarding Schools Tor young ladies are also in
successful operation, and are receiving well
merited patronage. Any one visiting these in
situations, we are satisfied would be so well
pleased with the principals and the ability of the
teachers conducting them, that they would not
look further for happier homes and ADLER instruc-
tors for their children.
The Bel Air Academy for boys is in successful
operation, under the management of Rev. T. S.
G. Smith, and truly worthy of its reputation for
excellence.

From the Baltimore Gazette,
Trial by jury.

Two trials have lately engrossed public
attention in this State, and the result has,
in each case, left the most painful impress
sion upon the minds of all who regard the
sure and pure administration of justice as
the only basis on which any society or pc.
litical institutions can rest.
Joseph Shaw, editor of a newspaper in
Westminster, had been compelled by mob
violence to leave his home. His press
was destroyed and he was thus deprived
of his only means of obtaining a liveli-
hood. After conferring with some of the
military authorities, and being advised to
go home, and believing that the excite
ment against him had subsidized, he return
ed to Westminster. He was not charged
with having committed any specific
crime
He had opposed the war and the Gov.
eminent, however, for which he was vio-
lently denounced, and it was publicly said
by some of his fellow townsmen that on
account of his disloyalty Shaw should not
emain at his home. On the evening Of
his return five men waited on him at bis
room. They we're well known to be
among the most violent of those who were
habitually utteriug threats against disloy.
al persons. Shaw was stabbed to DEATH
Of course the theory Of the defence was that
he was the assailant. We do not believe
that any right minded man can read the
evidence and come to any other conclusion
than that he died in self-defence. Armed
men sought him in the privacy of his
chamber foran unlawful purpose. They
were bitterly infaned against him on ac-
count of his political sentiments, and this
Shaw knew. He would gladly have avoi.
ded them If he could have done so. A

$3.50, 100000.

By authority of the Secretary of the
Treasury, the undersigned, the General
Subscription Agent for the sale of United
States Securities, offers to the public the
third series of Treasury Notes, bearing
seven and three-tenths per cent. interest
per annum. known as the
The aegis & intelligencer. [volume] (Bel Air, Md.) 1864-1923, 1865-07-07

Notes of all denominations named will
be promptly furnished upon receipt of
subscriptions.
The Notes of this Third Series are pre-
cisely similar in form and privileges to the
Seven-Thirtics already sold, except that
the Government reserves to itself the on
ton of paying interest in gold coin at 6
per cent, instead of 20 10ths in currency.
Subscribers will deduct the interest in cur
rency up to July 18th, at the time when
they subscribe.
The delivery of the notes of this third
series of the Seven-thirties will commence
on the LIST of June, and will be made
promptly and continuously after that date.
The slight change made in the cond-
tons of this THIRD SERIES affects only
the matter of interest. The payment in
gold, if made, will be equivalent to the
currency interest of the higher rate.
The return to specie payments, in the
event of which only will the option to pay
interest in Gold be availed of would so
reduce and equalize prices that purchases
made with six per cent. in gold would be
fully equal to those made with seven and
three-tenths per cent. in currency. This
