Last Tria, of Fidelity.

An officer of the French army, during the
reign of Napoleon. having incurred the sus-
picinn or resentment of the Emperor, thought
it expedient to abandon his country, and
take refuge in one of the Austrian provinces,
and there he became advised Of and initiated
in.o society. the (bject Of whose ,rmation
was to hurl to the grounl the Colossus whose
arm smote and governed the whole continent
Of Europe with scepter of iron. One day a
letter was brought to him containing the
usual signs and passwords of the society, and
requiring him to repair on the following night
to secluded spot in a forest, where he weuld
meet some of his associates. He went, but
found nobody. The orders were repeated
four times; the officer sought the appointed
place with no better success than the first
On the fifth night of his appointment at the
rendezvous, after waiting some time, he was
on the point of returning, when loud cries
! suddenly arrested his attention.
Drawing his sword. he fastened to the spot
whence they seemed to proceed. and was fired
| on by three men, who, on seeing thnt' he was
unwounded, instantly took to fight but at
his feet lay bleeding corpse, i'll which, by

detachment of chasseurs, summoned appa-
rently by the noise of the pistols that had
been discharged at himself. came up sudden
ly and arrested him as the assassin. lie was
loaded with chains. tried the next day. and
condemned to die for his supposed crime
His execution was ordered TO take place at
midnight Surrounded by the ministers of
justice. he was led, at a slow pace, by the
| tnbt of bn "a
bells, to vast square, in the center of which
was a scaffold, environed by horsemen.-
! Beyond these were a numerous group OF
spectators, who muttered impatiently, and at
intervals sent forth a cry Of adherence.
The victim mounted the scaffold, and his
sentence was read. and the first act Of the
tragedy was on the point of fulfillment, when
an officer let fall word of hope. An edict
had just been promulgated by the Govern
ment, offering pardon and life to any con-
demred criminal who should disclose the
members and secret tokens of particular
association, the existence Of which the
Frenchman, to whom these words were ad-
dressed, had lately become aware of, and OF
which he had become member. He was
quest oned, but be denied all knowledge
they urged him to confess with promises of
additional reward-his only reply was a
demand for immediate death-and his initia-
tion was completed.
All that passed was terrible trial OF
fidelity. Those who surrounded him were
members of the society, and every incident
that has been described, from the summons
to the last moment of expected death, was
only a step in the progress of the fearful
experiment by which it was sought to de
/ termine the trustworthiness of the neophyte.

The Apostles Greed.

The precise origin of this simplest and
most ancient of all the creeds, is involved in
some uncertainty, and has long been a mat
ter Of dispute among learned theologians.-
1t is at least certain that its universal use
in the Church may be traced back. if not to
the Apostolic age itself, yet to that imme-
diately succeeding and there is a very odd
tradition that each of the twelve articles of
the creed was composed by an Apostolic
author. 1t is said the Twelve assembled in
counsel before dispensing themselves to
preach the Gospel throughout the world, to
frame the symbol or waichword of the Chris
tan Church and it will be interesting to
many of our readers to know the Apostle to
whom each article is ascribed The tradition
is as follows:
st. Peter beie-e in God the Father
Almighty, maker of heaven and earth :"
St. Andrew And in Jesus Christ his
ONLY Son our Lord :"
St. James the Great-' Who was con
ceived y the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin

Nomination of Judge.

The action of the Judicial Convention for
this District, in placing GEORGE NJ. FUTILE,
Esq, in nomination as the Union candidate
for the Ninth Judicial District, will be
heartily ratified, not only by the people of
Trumbull county, but by the entire District.
The contest for the nomination was conduct
ed, as all such should be, with a sensitive
regard for those amenities that characterize
gentlemen, and wien the choice of the ma
jority was formally indicated in favor of Mr..
FUTILE, there was a cordial acquiescence on
the part of his rivals, Messrs. HART and
SANDERsoN, and their friends, that was not
only complimentary to the successful candi-
didate, but highly creditable to the less for
tunate gentlemen.
Mr.. FUTILE deservedly stands one of the
ablest lawyers in the District. He is noted
as being industrious, interchangeable, earnest,
honest and faithful; is an ardent sympathi-
yer with right, truth and justice; and being
learned in the law by years of study and
practice, he is well fitted to expound and
administer it wisely and impartially. Mr..
TUTTLE's success is an illustration of the
~cOnquering power of patient diligence and
manly virtue. He is one of the few with

The COngressionaI question.

The action of the Congressional Nomina-
ting Convention which met here last week,
is doubtless known by this time to all. That
any person is disappointed at the result, we
very much doubt. The denomination of
Gen. GARFIELD was weeks since, a foregone
conclusion in the minds of all familiar with
the public sentiment. We know that Mr..
HUTcHINs, for quite a length of time prior
to the Convention, so regarded the situation.
The reasons that influenced the latter gen
tleman to remain before the people, instead
of Withdrawing early in the canvass, are
probably apparent to discerning minds
Suffice it to say on this point, that MI. HUTCH
ms is a gentleman whom vulgar abuse can
not intimidate or drive from an assumed po-
sition. We trust, however, thatin the large
ness and goodness of his heart he will be
able to forgive and forget his calumniatOrs.
In view of the bitterness of the newspa-
per controversy that marked the canvass, it
may be proper here to state the fact, that
neither Mr.. GARFIELD nor Mr.. HUTCHINs
entertain toward each other feelings but
those of kindness and respect. They will
work hand in hand for the success of the
common cause
The unanimity with which General GAR
FIELD was nominated, indicated him to be,
most emphatically, the preference of the
people of the 18th District. It must be ia
ken as q hearty endorsement of his congress
sional career, and a fatter1ng expression of
popular confidence in his fidelity and pa
triotism. The great majority of his con-
stituents are manifestly proud of him, and
feel that through him the District is ably
and honorably represented. He could not
ask for or receive a more marked honor from
the people, than has been thus voluntarily
bestowed upon him. We have no doubt he
will prove himself as worthy in the future as
in the past to merit the appreciation of his
constituents. We anticipate for him in
creased usefulness, still greater influence and
higher honors.

id columns in the New York morning pa
peIs. 1t demands universal acknowledge
ment OF the legitimate consequences of the
war, which are the perpetual maintenance OF
the Union and the destruction of slavery
1t asserts next, that the Government ac-.
CURED no new rights or pOwer by the war;
that it acted only on th~edefensive. Congress
had passed a resolution that when the war
closed all the powers and dignity of the
States should be unimpaired and intact
power assumed by the Government in
the States since the war closed was in viola
ton of the Constitution. The Constitution
declares that no State shall, without its W
consent, be deprived of its equal representa-
ton in the Senate. The action of Congress,
denying representation to the Southern States
appears as great an effort to overthrow the
Government as was that by armed rebellion.
II one Congress can exclude on one pretext,
another Congress may exclude other States
on another. There Is no warrant for this in
the constitution. Not only cannot represen-
tatves be excluded from Congress, but no
state, without its own consent, can be depri-
we'd OF equal representation in the Senate
even by an amendment of the Constitution
The only pretext for the action of Congress
Is that the States lately in rebellion have lost
1880 $3.50 ~ 1AAOAA w LUE Al o
preme Government only can restore.
The address further asserts that the nosi-
ton of Congress in the matter is not war
ranted by the Constitution, and is not com.
patble with the public safety. 1t is also ar
gued that three-fourths of the rebel States
cannot change the fundamental law effect
ing the others, and that we have no right TO
pass judgement upon the motives of any cit
izen of the United States, when his acts arc
loyal. No where are the laws now obeyed
better than in the States lately in rebellion.
The disturbances that have occurred were as
much due to injudicious political movements
as any purpose hostile to the Government.
If the people of the South show less dispo-
stion than formerly to acquiesce IN the new
order of affairs, it is because Congress ha:
withheld their rights from them. If they
felt otherwise they would be ~degenerated
sons of their slres. No people ever existed
whose loyalty would not have been impaired
by such treatment. The people of the South
would not be worthy to be trusted in the ex,
ercise of their rights if they were willing t.
submit to such humiliation. These men act
ed either from a conviction of right, or be
cause they were under conjunction. Fol
this they have suffered ten-fold more thai
those who have remained in allegiance.
The address pledged them to future adhe
renee to the laws, and adds: The war ha
swept away slavery, the cause of s~ectiona
varisnces and hostilities, and has revealed
and disciplined our power.
The address directs attention to the fac
that q new Congress is soon to be elected, anC
adds, that if the present policy be pursue,
civil war would be renewed, and calls upol
every Congressional district to return onl,
the members who are favorable to the poll
cy of restoration,
