being found guilty of being accessory after the
fact in the murder of Mr.. Lincoln Spangler,
however, is known to ask for civil trial rather
than pardon, being more DESTROYS, he says
of establishing his innocence than of merely
obtaining his release. 1t would be rich treat

Wendell Phillips is not alone the exponent
of his own views. He is the organ and mouth
piece of the entire radical wing of the Republi-
can party. The policy he espouses is the
policy they all desire to carry out, and would
carry out if they could make the conservative
Republicans come up to the mark:
Phillips latest programme is thus enuncia-
ted. Admit no State for the present; hold
It under the sword till its highways are safe to
Northern travellers and its marts of business
safe for Northern capital. Admit no rebel
States, even then, till the land, education and
the ballot, under the sauctity of Federal
authority, are the secure inheritance of every
man born on the SOIL"

ERIN-GO-BR lGII.

Fenianism seems to be in great danger or d.ap-
pearng in laugh. The American Senate Of the
Irish Republic have impeached and removed the
Fenian chief, Mr.. John O'Mahony. 1t was "a
summary process. At four O'Clock on a certain
Friday President O'Mahony was served with no
tce of charges, and summoned to respond within
twentyfour hours. Failing to do so he was i'm
peached and tried on Saturday evening, and before
midnight justice was done on Cawdor.
Thereuron the tempest broke. The Chicago
Centre te.egraphs to the impeaching body: 1--WE
intend public demonstration sustaining action of
Senate. WiH we go on? Answer at length and
Immediately" To this request n reply was re-
turned which, in its awful and heroic tOEe, might
have announced armed des cent Of inyncible
Celtic hosts upon the despicabe soil of the chur-
ish Saxon. The question is the removal Of an Of
fcer charged with violating his oath and extrava-
CANT expense; and this is the announcement: Go
ahead The crisis has come. We must meet it
like wise and brave men, The Senate will DO
their duty to ireland. Be true in doing yours.''
This was not 10 be tamely endured by the party
Of the O'Mahony. They instantly raised the bat
tie cry, and 1.-The Fenians of Manhattan" appealed

dress of the most Emerald eloquence The Sen
ate Is denounced ga sectional combination of
perfidious lrshmen," who "haye prostituted the
high -ostion of Fenisn Senatorship to the most
iSnoble purposes" Seven years have placed the
Fenian Brotherhood upon its present pinnacle of
glory, while: "EOremOsi among its bOdest. truest,
and most alented defender. stands the name of
John O'MahOny, like a star in the heavens, re-
ceiving new lustre from the clouds which obscure
for an instant but vanish before its power" To
attack John O'Mahony is "to kick against the
goad." And an ardent volunteer writes in hot
haste to the papers. imploring all faithful Fenans
to Leave all to John ON thony-a whose
nsmc yet can be only rivaled by the illnstrious
w ashington, the hero OF our adopted country -
"Shall forget hm7" cries this enthusi astic o.

The Senate OF the Irish Republic in America
must look to its ways. There are plainly two sides
to the question; and if once the inspiring cry of

as witnesses on account Of color. The bill was
sent TO the Senate, which did not act upon it, but
passed another, originating in that body, making
all colored persons competent witnesses, except
such as have come, or may hereafter come into
the State in contra ention of the 18th article of
the State Constitution. This the House had to ac-
cept or get no enactment on the subject, and it was
accepted as the best that could be done, although
the majority OF the Representatives were unable to
see why violation of the 18Th article should dis
qualify man a witness, when all other Grimm
ais from petty thieves to murderers are freely ad-
mitted to the witness stand. We advise our "no
nigger equality" Democrats, to hereafter confine
their outr9ges on defenseless negroes, TO those
whom they are certain came into the State in vio-
lston of the 18th article of the Constitutions else
they may suffer the terrible humiliation of being
convicted and punished on the testimony OF negroes
whose moral character is such to give them
credibility before white juries.
These several acts, with that for the payment
of the Stale debt, of which gave synopsis on
Saturday, comprises portion of the important leg
slation of the late session. No Legislature ever
did much work in the Same length of time, since
the Constitution imposed the present restrictions
upon legislation, than that which has just adjourned
nor has any similar body exhibited more economy
in its expenditures.

q Proposed Antf-SecessfOn A
mendment 10 the Constitution.

Senator Stewart. Of Nevada, has introduced into
the Senate of the United State, Joint Resolution
proposing to the Legislatures of the several States
the adoption of the following addition to the Con-
stitulion of the United States:
ARTICLE XIV.
SECTION l. The union of the States under this
constitution is indssoluble; and no State can ab-
solve its citizens from the obligation Of paramount
allegiance to the United States.
SEC 2. And be il further resolu.d, That no en-
gagement or obligation incurred by any State, or
by any number of States, or by any county, city.
or other municipal corporation, TO subyert. impair,
or resis. the authority Of the United States, or to
support or aid any Legislature. Convention, or
body in hostility to such authority, shall ever bs
held valid. or be assumed or sustained, in whole
or in part, by any State. or by the United States.
That the joint resolution will pass both Houses
OF Congress, by two-thir1 vote. we do not doubt,
and that it ought to receive the unanimous approx
al of the several States is certain. The first
proposition has been pretty effectually settled by
the arbitrament Of arms. but the decision of the
people. so made, should be made part of the Or
ganic law.
The second will make effective, for all time to
come, the remuneration by the Southern States of
the rebel debt, made under the pressure OF the
Presidents restoration policy; and will, moreover,
be a wholesome restraint on rebellious demonstra-
tOns in the future.

80 A CURIOUS CALIFORNIA STORY A
late issue of the Napa county (Califor-
nia) Register has a singular story
"a family residing in the Napa Valley
has, within few years past, lost five of
its members by death. BY some curious
coincidence friend residing in San
Francisco has at each deceas been on
visit to the family, and the fact has
been so remarkable as to attract notice.
and in the minds of some create super
stitious dread of him. The year follow
ing the third death the gentleman paid
visit to the family, and the lady of
the house said in a jocular manner on
first accosting him, "What misfortune
dc. you now bring 7" Apparently in
good health at the time, in an hour after
she was a corpse. Recently he paid
his accustomedannual visit, and daugh-
ter-in-law, who had been lingering with
consumption for some time, died soon
after his arrival. No blame is attached
to him as an instrument in causing these
deaths, yet that singular fatality to the
family has been attendant upon his ne
riodical visits is most remarkable. In
Italy the superstitious people would be-
heye him 70 possess the fatal gift of the
EVIL eye.D F' ).

g Cows give more or less milk, accord
ing to the Prussian agricultural annals,
in proportion to the quantity of water
taken by them. A COW which produces
little or no milk is satisfied nth eight
or ten quarts Of water, or less, per day,
as soon, however, as she begins to give
milk. she will consume twenty or more
quarts per day. The quantity of milk
produced is said to be always in proper
tion to the quantity. of water swallowed
by the COW. When COWS are kept in
the open air, pasturing, it has been OBJ
served that those which most frequently

WESTMINSTER, ND. THURSDAY, JUNE q, 1866

The world owes this information to
remorse of conscience on the part of the
footman eighteen months after the exs
ecutioa of Bradford whenlaid on bed
of. sickness. Itwas death repentenec,
and by that death the law lost its
victim. sgD1e 9A 9ii5 IL .tgH a7i
Ii 1t were to be1wished that this account
could close here; but there ismore told.
Bradford though innocent of the murder
and not even priyy to it, was nAverthe-
less a murderer in design. He had
heard, as well as the footman, what Mr..
Hayes had declared at supper, as to the
having a sum of money about him; +; and
he went to the chamber of the deceased
with the same dreadful intentions as the
servant. He was struck with amaze
ment on bcholding himself anticipated
in the crime. He could not believe his
senses and in turning back the bed
clothes to assure himselfofthe fact, he in
his agitation dropped his knife on the
bleeding body, by which means both
his hands and the weapon became
bloody; These circumstances Bradford
acknowledged to; the clergyman who
attended him after sentence, but who,
it is extremely probable would not be-
) lieve them at the time. i54ti 1i2s'
ID Besides the graver lessons to be
drawn from this extraordinary case, in
which we behold the simple intention of
crime SO signally, and wonderfully pun
ished, these events furnish striking
warming against the careless, and it may
be, vain display. of money or other
property in strange places. To heed
lessness on this score the unfortunate
Mr.. Hayes fell a victim The tempta-
tion, we have seen proved tco strong for
two, persons out of the few who heard

Neck-Twisting i'm church.

A good story is told of an old parson
who was sorely annoyed by habit his
people had acquired (and which prevails
by the way in all other churches, even
now and hereabouts, to some extent) of
twisting their nccks around every time
anybody entered the door, and passed
up the aisle ofthc meeting house, to see
what manner of person it might be.
Wearied with the annoyance, the old
man exclaimed, on Sunday: M s'
Brethren, if you willonly cease turn
ing your heads round whenever the
door opens, and will keep your attention
on me, will promise to tell you, as l
preach. who it is comes in" /"
: Accordingly hewent on with the SER
vices, and presently made stop as one
Of the deacons entered, saying-iaa.oa
\ "That is Deacon who keeps the
grocery opposite"
And thus he announced, in turn, the
advent of each individual, proceeding
the while with his sermon as composedly
as. the circumstances would admit, when
at last stranger came in, when he
cried out - - 3

and a drab oyercoat- know him
you can all turn round and look for

good man carried his point, and there
