Pontotoc, Miss. resulting in the death of
an officer in charge of the Freedmens Bu-
reau in that place From reports it appears
that large party i'll Pontotoc became ill.,
censed against the bureau and engaged in

that his assaillants declared their animosity
against the United States, saying they had
not had war enough and still wanted to fight
the Government.

istration and its policy, aud n'return for
his efforts in that direction modestly asks
the Pennsylvania people to elect him to
the United States Senate. Just now he
is urging Congress to remain in session
until December, to thwart the Presidents
plans for the full restoration Of traitors
and the removal Of all Federal officers who
do not agree with him in policy. II Con-
gress adjourns, he predicts that q special
session will be called after the meeting OF
the Philadelphia Convention, when the
Southern Congressman already elected will
demand their seats. and il they are still
refused admission, the President will
recognize them and the Democratic mem
bers of the North as the legal Congress.
And then, If General Grant shall refuse to
lead the army against the loyal Congress-
men and the loyal people, he is to be
turned out of office. That is as far as

The Nashville Celebration.

The Nashville Gazette has the follow
ing account of the recent celebration OF
the battle Of Nashville;
Among the distinguished visitors in
the city we're General Grant, from St
Louis, Gen. Sherman, from Vera Cruz,
General Sheridan, from New Orleans,
General Fitzpatrick, from Valparaiso, and
General Butler, from Lowell, Massachu-
sets.
At nine clock precisely, just as the
town bell struck for the Recorder S levee,
the procession started from the
Square, Governor Brownlow in the
van, and General Butler bringing up
the rear. Proceeding up Cedar, it
halted in front Of the Capitol, when
three rousing cheers we're given for the
restoration OF the Un--ihe school fund
VIC mean-and three more for Bill Stokes,
who had Just mounted the rostrum, and
was trying to prove the consistency of his
record. he was followed by Arnell, who
arrived by lightning express from Wash
ington, and proceeded to prove that he
was clearly entitled TO a seat in Congress.
The next speaker was tile inevitable Jim
Mullins, and from the tenor of his re-
marks we suspect that Fred Douglass
and Gov. Brownlow will lind him tough
rival in the next Presidential contest
Secretary Fletcher then proceeded to
read the schedule to the amended consti-
tuition, but was choked off by Wines, who
was anxious TO enlighlen the crowd on
the subject of education.
Cries of Butler, Butler" however,
stopped the ouipouring Of Wines, and the
cock-eyed General was obliged to take the
stand. He said he didn't come here to
make a speech. 4 copperhead in
the crowd said, . No, you came to
steal spoons" Cries Of Z" down with
him." put him out. etc, etc,
rang forth, and the unfortunate Copper
head took to his heels. Butler pulled
off his left boot to hurl at the retreating
fugitive, but it caught on the lamp post
behind him, where 1t may be sees stu
pendent this morning The Copperhead
didn't stop running until he got to tho
Peniteutiary, confessed his crime, and
begged admission, which was readily
granted t. aN

UNEQUAL LAWS.

The entire policy Of Congress is turned
to the investigation of the best and most
expeditions mode Of Furnishing rebels.
That body seems to have no other busi-
ness. The laws, as they have stood upon
the statute books for more than three
quarters Of a century, are being altered
to suit the aims of the Jacobin party.
The world has never before seen such
fertility Of invention as that exhibited by
the Jacobins. We give solitary illus
tration. JULrEy, of Indiana, the cele-
brated non-fghtest, has had O motion
passed, insirueting the committee on the
public lands to inquire into the expedi-
ency of so amending the homestead law
as to require applicants to swear that
they have never given aid or comfort to
the Confederacy. Any fool might know
that legislation so partial. so sectional,
so revengeful, can never restore frater-
nifty and union. If he did not
know such fact, he should be hurried
off to an asylum for the insane. But
JULIEN is no idiot He is first rate
malignant, and moves, as a legislator, to
the music of vengeance. The people of
the South, denied all the recognized
privileges Of free government while they
are loaded with taxes 10 enrich their
prosecutors, would appear contemplate
in the eyes of the world if they did not
hate them. No Southern man could
ever acquire homestead under the law.
The public lands would all go into the
hands of the people of the North and the
negroes of the South. Can a man who
has any conception whatever Of Justice,
do otherwise than despise Government
that would dobase him below the negro,
the Coolie, or even below the murderer
The only hope we have is that malice
and malignants viii disappear in the
vortex of time, and leave reason the I'M
disputed master Of the situation. Years
must first pass away, and the future nust
pour down food Of events Wars must
come, blood must flow, nations must
lapse into sorrow, and the wheel of for
tune make many revolutions. Mean
while let US be cheerful if we can, and
so embalm our prosecutors that they

IMPORTANT DECISION.

It has been decided that con6scation
of property only extends through the
life of the owner. In the Circuit Court
at Alexandria, on Friday, in the case Of
NeoE VS. TILLsToS, in which the plaintiff
sued for the recovery of city property
sold during the war under a decree Of
Judge UNDERWOOD, Judge THOMAS de-
cided, says an exchange, that by the
provision Of the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, Congress could not forfeit
more than the life estate Of the party
charged with the ohfense stated in the
act of Congress providing for the con
fiscation of the property Of persons en-
gagged in the rebellion, and that
as DANIEL F. Moor, against whose prop
erty the proceeding was instituted, had
departed this life, the plaintiff, his devi'
see, was entitled to the recovery of the
property. An appeal from this decision
was taken, and the case will be carried
10 the Supreme Court Of the United
States, where we have not a doubt the
decision Of the Court above will be con
6rmed. No provision in the COnstitE-
ton is palmer than that upon which
Judge THOMAS evidently bases bis
opinion.

IMPROVING.

The Oxford Falcon of recent date
says of that village "On every side
we find evidences of the indomitable
will and energy of our citizens and their
determination to retrive their fallen for
tunes and to place themselves once more
on the road that leads to afiluence and
wealth. The ruined walls and the soli-
tary chimneys that looked so mournful
to the heavens, telling in mute Language
of the horrors of war, are rapidly disap-
pearing and being replaced by substan-
tial and commodious edihees. Before
twelve months have elapsed, our town,
which presented such a sad and desolate
appearance after the surrender, will
have been entirely rebuilt and will look
