Hang. Kill, slay, Conf1soate.

Hon. George w. Julian, Black Repub-
lcsn member of Congress from Indiana,
and the same who was few weeks ago
cowhided by Hon. Sol. Meredith Of the
same State, made speech in Indianapo-
lie recently, of which the following is an
extract. An exchange says that he is per-
tectly siucere-as sincere as Marat and
Robespierre, the master spirits Of the Reign
of Terror in France during the revolution
OF 1796--and is like all the Republicans
OF the hanging and confscsting school,
If the, coantry should, by the wrath of
Heaven, be given up to the controi of such
men as these, Reign Of Terror would be
inaugurated indeed, and, as in France,
oceans of blood would flow on either side,
before the reused passions Of our people
cenld be cal:ned. IEDs. SENTINEL.

The Congressional Test Oath

The Congressional Test Oath i,
/ TIE following is comment by the Raj
eigh lSsss5spe1, ard to cur minds, = very lu-
cid and IegitinIats conciusion, upon the
views recently snunciafed BY the Hon
Reverdy Johnson, IN his able argafnekt
before the Supreme Court Of the United
States, upon the uncons,itntionality of
what ia known as the radical "Congres-
sional Test Oath.'' 4 1Se EDS. SENTINEL.
The constitution Of the United States
cannot be Justly or correctly construed,
SO that the powers claimed by any depart
ment Of the Government, will certainly
bring it in conflict with another co-ordl-
nate branch The constitution certainly
designs to preserve in harmony the three
elements or departments Of the govern-
xlent. But the enforcement of the ''test
oath" directly comes in conflict with the
high and solemn prerogative OF the Presl-
dent, in pardoning offenders. This power
granted bv the Constitution, is an I'M
mense one, yet it is necessary that it be
lodged somewhere, ane no hands in this
government are more fit than those of the
President. It is an absolute power vested
III him alone, and cannot be exercised by
Or divided with any other.
The pardon Of the President, in the
sense OF forgiveness for crime or offence,
jnstifies or absolves the offender from all
prior guilt-makes him new man and
fully restores him to the favor and conf
dence of the government. Fl it fall short
of effecting all this for the offender, ii
fails to meet the ends and aims of the con
stitution. But if Congress, another branch
OF the government, can at11x such terms
of ad,nissio to its members as are embra
ced in the 'ttest OATH" it is plain thai
Congress can change, modify Or render
null this power OF. the President, and ii
effect nulify the Constitution itself
When once the President has granted /
full pardon to any offender against til,
lave of the United States, we do not as
sune too much when we affirm, that ther,
remains no power sn any department q
the government to cancel or. make pul
that. pardon, or deprive the pardoned per
con its benefits Nor can it be the pro
vince of any branch Of the government tt
60 behind the PARDON to inflict punish
ment upon the offender. But the enforce
rnent OF the .stest oatll" against the South
ern members of Congress does go bel,in
the pardon OF the, President to . punish
them, and in making their former condue
for which they have been pardoned, {
disability to their serving in the Congress
neutralizes and nullifes the pardonins
power Of the President and by consequence
| the Constitution itself. , Ia. ,,stfsie..

that the navy has Melted over twenty
millions of dollars as its share in these
prizes.
The following statement shows the

all of whom are said to have expressed

The Proposition to Repeal the Neu-
tralitY Laws.

NEW York, June 16.-Specials to the
evening papers say that the House
Committee on Foreign Relations took
up the proposition to repeal the neu-
trality laws to-day and had the Attor-
ney General and Judge Marshall of
New York before them.
The Attorney General was of the
opinion that the present law should not
be interfered with and should be enforce
ed, or we would find ourselves in IA sea
of troubles with foreign nations. No
decision was reached, but 1t IS safe to
pIedict that the committee will report
against the repeal.
Applicants are already on the ground
for the vacancy caused by the death of
naval officer Odell, in this city. The
two most prominent are Gen. w. Blunt
and Col. HilIyer; the latter is strongly
endorsed.
The House Committee have decided
to report against the construction OF
draw bridges along the Upper Mis-
sissipppi.
