TARDY JUsTICR,-One Sunday alter

John Pierce and some others were talks
ing to lady. While engaged in this
interesting occupation, stranger came
up and attempted to Join in the con-
VersatIon. Mr.. p. informed him that
it would be best II he would take his
departure. Words ensued, not highly
complimentary to either party. The
stranger finally departed. Immediate
~ after Pierce arose and said he would
punish that man severely. he proceed

street, close by Packers Hotel. "A scuf-
te commenced and the stranger break
ing loose ran rapidly up Quincy and
down Market, as far as Charnoclz's
blacksmith shop, when he was again
overtaken by Pierce.
Now was seen one of those short and
unequal combats, which are nice things
for the superior men engaged. Pierce
had it all his own Way-knocked the
man down two or three times without
tronble,-kicked him,-and finally left
him through sheer WEAKNESS.
For some unexplained reason Pierce
was never arrested until day before
yesterday, when officer Scroggins
nabbed him. Yesterday morning,
Judge Good fined him ten dollars and

Too EXTENSIVE FOR HIS BREEcHEs.
Boys about sixteen or seventeen
years old, ARE prone TO imagine that If
they can carry n stogy cigar in their
mouths without getting sick, or swallow
enough villainous whisky to make
them glorious, supplemented people
will take them for full grown men.
One, Arthur White by name, laboring
under this delusion, recently took
enough to elevate him head and shout
ders above his fellow boys, and in this
condition proceeded to the Centre
Wheeling market house, where a
meeting of the boilers at the different
rolling mills in the city and vicinity,
was being held. He looked but a
boy, and an insignificant one
at that, but he must needs show his
mettle. Accordingly the neighborhood
was saluted with n torrent of oaths and
Obscenity. All of which was conclu-
sive proof that Arthur was much more
than at first sight he appeared.
His conduct coming to the notice of
the police, a warrant was issued for his
arrest. But a difficulty wasexperienced
in getting witnesses to testify. And
finally 1t was found necessary to issue
a rule, which caused the Witnesses to
appear yesterday morning. The result
was that the would-be man was fined
one dollar and costs.

In a book entitled Researches into
the History of tile British Dog" by
George II. Jesse, Just published in Lon
don, we find this anecdote:
The Rev. Mr.. L.. had large blood
hound, which had been allowed to ac-
quire the habit OF accompanying the
household TO church, where he always
behaved with the greatest dedOrum, ly-
ing at the foot of the pulpit stairs. TIL
one unfortunate day, when a stranger
Otficiated in lieu of his mastI L. The dog
seemed to take no notice until the com
muniOn service; but when the stranger
was within the altar rail, aud had Just
commenced tine reading of the first
commandment, then the dog uprose,
placed his fore paws on the rails, aud
gave utteraEce 80 a fearful bay. The
stranger, being of timid temperament,
fed 30 the vestry room, and tue hound
was ANONYMOUSLY expelled, and for
some time was kept chained up on Sun
days during service. After a while
this restraint was discontinued; but the
hound did net attempt to re-enter the
church, from which he felt himself ex-
communicated. 1t then soon began to
be observed that he disappeared every
Sunday, though no one knew or cared
to inquire where, till one day Mrs. IL. :,
a married daughter of Mr.. L. was stop
ped In the street at Brixham by an an
gry-loOking woman, who pOnreda flood
of abuse on her, the drift of which she
could not at first understand, until the
woman openly accused her of sending
her dog to disturb the devotiOns OF those
who attended meeting. Mrs. III ,aghast,
asked what she meant, and heard to
her surprise that for some Sundays the
ex-church dog had gone to chapel, and
though most respectful and devotional
in his demeanor. his presence was trial
To the nerves of the congregation to
whose body lie had tried to join him
self. Mrs. H., being n High Church
woman, could only EXPIRE her regret
that her dog should have SO far lapsed
as to let himself down to attend meet
ing. He was once more placed under
strict restraint on Sundays, and thus
debarred from attending any religious
denominations whatsoever.

To say that the Americans are a great
people is but to repeat universally ac-
knowledged aphoIism. They build a
city, launch fleet, or set an army in
the field in about the same space of
time it would occupy us, in tins grand,
old. but slow moving country, To dis
cuss the preliminaries. A pressing ma
tional want felt by them is supplied at
once, without reference TO bewildered
and bewildering ''select committees. "
Theoretical problems, in the art of
war especially, are reduced, with aston
ishing CELEBRITY, into apractical, definite
form, and the work, when completed,
stands forth an accomplished fact, with
its virtues and its faults freely open to
the criticisms of all Europe, and 1T, un-
der all conditions, striking monument
of the energy, decision, and practical
bufiness sense of the statesmen and
people of the youngest and most pow
erfnl among the worlds family of ma
tiOns.
One of the latest conceived and exc
cuted of these transatlantic prodigies is
the two-tuTret vessel Miantonomah,
now anchored at Spithead, and in allow
ing this vessel to visit England at the
present moment, the Government of
President johnson has conferred upon
this country service only secondary
to that so frankly rendered IN the re-
cent suppression of the miserable Fen
ian demonstration on the shores of the
Canandian lakes. The turret question
is just now to us matter of vital i'm
portanee with regard TO the constitution
of our irOn-clad navy. 1t may be
eventually that irOn-clad fleets may be
composed wholly of turret Or broad
side ships, or that they may be COM
posed of both, as with the American
navy, where turret-ships occupy the
position of the heavy preaching artil-
lery of the fleet, the broadside ships
being kept as the main body available
for general service where speed and
power are both contained in one vessel.
No opportunity for studying the whole
subject with certain profit to ourselves
can be afforded equal to visit to the
Miantonomah and other turret ships of
the American navy as they may visit
our shores.

plan having been proposed by Congress
for the measures instituted by the Exec
utive, it is now declared IN the joint
resolution submitted for my approval,
that the State of Tennessee is hereby
restored TO her former practical rela-
tions to the Union, and is again enti-
tied to be represented by Senators and
Representatives in Congress. Thus,
after the LAPSE of nearly eight months,
Congress proposes to pave the way to
the admission of the representatives of
one of the eleven States whose people
arrayed themselves against the consti-
tutional - thority of the Federal Gov
ernmeTn
Earnestly desiring to relieve every
cause of further delay, whether real or
imaginary, on the part of Congress, to
the admission to seats OF loyal Senators
and Representatives from the state OF
Tennessee, 1 have, Notwithstanding the
anomalous character of this proceeding,
affixed my signature to the resolution.
| My approval, however, is not to be
construed as an acknowledgment of the
right of Congress to pass laws prelimi-
nary to the admission of duly qualified
Representatives from any of the States,
neither is it to be considered as COM
hitting me to all the statements made
in the preamble, some of which are in
my opinion, without foundation In fact,
especially the assertion that the State
of Tennessee has ratified the amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States. proposed by the tbirty-ninth
| Congress. No official notice of such
ratification has been received by the
Executive or filed IL the Department of
State. On the contrary, unofficial in
formation from most reliable sources
induces the belief that the amendment
has not vet been coustitutionaliy sane
toned by the Legislature of Tennessee,
The right of each house under the Con-
stitutiou to judge of the election returns
and qualifications of its own members is
undoubted, and my approval or disap-
prevail of the resolution could not III
the slightest degree increase or dimin-
ish the authority III this respect confer
red upon the two branches of Congress.
In conclusion, l cannot too earnestly
repeat my recommendation for the ad-
mission of Tennessee and all 9th 1
States to fair and equal participation
in the National Legislature, when they
present themselves in the persons oil
loyal senators and representatives., who
can comply with all the requirements OF
the constitution aud the laws. BY this
means harmony and reconciliation will
be effected, the practical relations OF
all the States TO the Federal Government
re-established, and the work Of restora-
ton inaugurated upon the termination
Of the war, successfully completed.

Congressional Report on the Memphis
ELOt

WASHINGTON, July 0.-The report OF
the Select Committee appointed to in
veStigate all matters connected with the
Memphis riots, and massacre was made
to the House last night. 1t is signed
by Representatives. Washburne, of HIS,
and Brownell of Pa. The other mem-
Der, Mr.. Shanklins of Ky. dissenting.
They say the outbreak and disturbance
resulted from a collision between some
policemen and discharged cOlored sol
diers, which was seized upon as pre-
text for an organized and bloody masSa-
ere of the colored people of Memphis,
regardless of age, sex or condition.
+ The whole evidence discloses the
killing of men women and children,
the sick and defenceless, pleading foI
their lives and crying for mercy, the
wounding, beating and numbering of a
still greater number, burning, robbing,
consuming of dead bodies in the flames.
The burning Of dwellings, the attempts
to burn up whole families in their
houses, and the brutal and revolving
ravishing of defenceless and terror
stricken women.
The report gives the number of col
OAt0 PCOPhO
two; wounded seventy-five; rapes on
colored women, five; maltreated, ten;
rObberies, one hundred; houses and
cabins burned, ninety-One; churches,
nine; school-honses, twelve. The value
of property destroyed is estimated at
$50, 1881.
The Committee say the feeling in
Memphis, and, indeed, through that en-
tire section of the country, shows there
is true loyalty to- the Government and
the flag. The state of things in Mem
phis, now, is very much the same as it
was there just before the breaking out
of the recent rebellion. The Commit
the deliberately state, that in their
judgment, there viii be no safety for
loyal men, either white or black, should
the United States troops be withdrawn,
and no military protection of the Gov
eminent existing there.
The Committee believe 1t to
be the duty of the Government, to ar
rest, try and punish the offenders by
military authority.
