/ The number of emigrants who passed
this point during the week ending Satur-
day evening, December s, 1866, was 527,
destined for settlement in the following
States: Ohio, 100; Mississippi, l2O; KEN
tucky, 35; Illinois, l1S; Indiana, "a; Iowa,
IL; Tennessee, IL; Minnesota, 10. a.
Our correspondent in Bremen reports
that 1900 to 1900 emigrants left Bremen
and Hamburg per week during the month
of November by steamers, not Including
sailing vessels-all destined for the United
States. The inhabitants Of Hanover dis
like the idea Of being governed by the laws
of Persia, hence they leave their Father
land as soon as they are able to procure
transportation. p
Within the last two monthsha great
number OF Swedes and Danes have passed
this point to settle in the west. A society
has been formed in Copenhagen, whose
object is to effect arrangements to forward
all the emigrants from Denmark, Sweden
aud Norway, direct to this country.
On last Saturday morning, the $40 p.

Test Oath UnconslitutIonaI.

The country is advertised by telegraph
that the Supreme Court OF the United
gStates on the 9TH agreed upon decision
touching the constitutionality of the Test
Oath. It is said that the Court decided
by 5 to against the Constitutionality of the
Oath, and that the opinion will probably
be read to-day-each Of the Judges rem
dering separate opinion.
This opinion will not surprise Demo-
crats, because they had faith that the Court
at least majority of the Court-would
make their decision conform to the spirit of
the Constitution Of the United States, and
they felt satisfied that II the Court were to
do this, the Test Oath would be pronounced
unconstitutional. This decision is tri-
umph for the Constitution and the De-
mocracy, and puts out of the way one Of
the contrivances of revolutionary Radi-
calism. AS Congress proposes to usurp
the powers of the Executive, it will not
be surprising IL 1t shall undertake to usurp
the powers of the judiciary.

Rowdyism-PoIIce Officers A ssnu1ted

DOwdylsm-PolIce Officers Assnulted.
On last Saturday night, between twelve
and one o'clock, as Lieutenant Maria, 9th
police, was making his rounds, and when
In the neighborhood Of West Broad street,
his attention was called to the dlsorderly
conduct of a gang Of rowdies In a saloon.
They had entered the saloon of Mr.. Hem
nebo, when he was about closing, and de-
manded something to drink. Upon being
refused, and told to 20 where they
had been drinking, they became bois
ferrous, making night hideous with their
noise. Officer Maria ordered them to leave,
and when they had reached the pavement
they turned and made an assault upon him
with "billies" and other weapons
and succeeded In giving the Of
ficer, who was unarmed, severe
bruising about the face and head. Mr..
Maria was subsequently reinforced by Off
GERS Tanner and Newman, who followed
them to State avenue, where, after severe
struggle, they arrested three of them, who
were locked up In the calaboose. The
fourth, an old Penitentiary convict by the
name Of Adams, succeeded In making his
escape, but at last accounts, the, officers
were on his track, and no doubt will arrest
him. officer Newman was badly beaten
about the face and head with a "billy" in
the hands of Adams, who is represented,to
be desperate scoundrel. An examination
will be had before the Mayor this morning.

The Wenfhar.


On last Saturday the weather was as
tickle as coquett, The sun bursted out
in the morning and shed its cheerful rays
over the earth, and in less than one hour
it was raining and the wind blew almost a
hurricane. Part Of the tin roofing on the
building occupied by Mr.. Samuels as
drug store on High street, was torn off and
lodged upon the pavement. The trap
door on the roof Of the Second Presbyte-
rian Church was lifted up, and whirling
into the air about one hundred feet above
the steeple, fell with q crash on Chapel
street. Signs were blown down and other
damage done in various parts of the
city. On Saturday night it became cold
and on yesterday morning the mud and
water on High street, which had for weeks
caused such annoy yance, were frozen 80 that
pedestrians could pass over without much
difficulty. A. ..,.. .'in ..isss'> T,
- 1t seems as though winter is coming
upon us in earnest. Those who are able to
meet the cold, chilling blasts of winter
will hail it with joy-but the poor and un-
fortunate, who are shivering, half clad,
over few embers in their cherries, di-
lapidated tenements, will shrink from the
embrace Of the storm-king, and sigh for
the return of spring. -.r-i

TerrissrleI Gaovernmensu for the


The Radical project Of abrogating the
State governments OF the Southern States
and creating Territorial Governments In
their stead, we supposed would find favor
with nearly the whole Of the Republican
press. We eare, therefore, surprised to find
the Cincinnati Gazette opposing the project.
1t insists that the Southern people, In re-
spending to the requirements Of President
JOHNSON In providing the present State
Governments. did SO In good faith, believ-
ing that he had the authority to make the
requisition upon them, and that their COM
plIance Herewith would be accepted by the
people Of the adhering States, and that
If there Is anything wrong In this
part Of the restoration of the South, Presi-
dent Johnson is the only party that should
be held to accountability. 1t is the opinion
Of the Gazette that no good can possibly re-
suit either to the country or to the Repub-
lIcan party II the work Of overturningthe
State Governments of the South shall be
seriously entered upon. In this opinion,
the Gazette Is undoubtedly right. ~
Should Congress consummate the Radical
folly Of reducing the ten non-represented
States to territorial condition, the decision
Of the Supreme Court Of the United States
declaring the Test Oath unconstitutional
gives encouragement to the opinion that
that Court will decide law unconstitu-
tlonal that seeks to put these States into
the position Of Territories. If the ques-
tion were brought before the Court
for it to pass upon, SO clearly an
lnfraction Of the Constitution would the
law be that the Court could not do other.
wise than decide it unconstitutional. II
President JohNsoN shall not be deposed,
and the members of the Supreme Court
shall be allowed to live some years yet, the
Southern people and the Democracy OF the
country may look trustingly to the Supreme
Court to withdraw from all revolutionary
laws and amendments vitality. That Court
may not only decide the Southern States
entitled to representation in both branches
Of Congress, but as also entitled to vote for
President at the next Presidential election.
Through the decisions Of the Supreme
Court Of the United States, the machina-
tions of the Radicals in and out OF Congress
may yet be brought to naught.

e Much has been said in regard to the con-
dition of High street for the past ten days.
1t has attracted the attention OF strangers
visiting the city. Correspondence news
papers in New York, Cincinnati, and other
cities, have mentionedJit with ridicule, un-
til it has become bye-word of reproach.
An engineer was busily engaged on last
Saturday ia locating aud altering the
names of crossings, etc. For instance, the
crossings on High street, where the streets
run east and west, are called fordings, and
that portion of the street passing the depot
aud north, to the stables of the Street Rail-
road Company, is called the Rip Raps. We
understand that white horse disappeared
at the Rip Raps Saturday morning. The
depot police officer, Mr.. De Witt, has fail
ed to find him, and now, as the mud and
water has become congealed, it is doubtful

Americas W.. Elngllsh Farming.
Mr.. X.,A. willard, OF the Utica Herald,
who went to Europe last spring for the
purpose Of investigating the system Of
farm management In that country, writes:
II have often read accounts of the i'm
mense crops of hay grown upon the mead-
ows In England. l think there must be
exceptions, for wherever l have been l
have seen no larger bulk of hay upon the
ground than In America. / have taken
special pains to make examinations OF
fields, with view of comparing crops in
the two countries, and have yet to be con-
Ylnced that the production here Is so large,
on an average, as has been represented.
cannot speak so we'll of Qudllty, as that, af-
ter all, Is q matter to be determined at the
manger. And mustsay this for our farm
ers In New York, have seen nothing In
the harvesting of the crop that Is superior
to the pvactice among our best farmers. l
have visited Rothamsted (Mr. Lawes' es-
tate), In some respects the most noted farm
In the world, certainly in England, and
many other farms where the hay was be-
Ing cut and cured, and can see nothing In
the English practice whereby the grass is
saved with more of its nutritive value than
with us. The grass iscut In flower, either
by machine or by hand; hay redders are
used, and if not fit for the stack 1t is put up
In cocks. Every thing is conducted IN
most lelsurely manner. The workmen are
numerous. but it would make a New York
farmer ache to see the slow, plodding way
IN which the work goes on. They have
very good hOrse-rake upon wheels, with
strong iron teeth, and the operator walks
behind and dumps by pressing upon
lever. 1t is a very good machine for cleai-
ing up after the bulk of the hay is taken
of, though we should esteem it much heav-
Ter than necessary At Rothamsted, two
men were raking after the cart.o They had
lOng-hcaded rakes, in which set curved
teeth of iron. and they cleaned up the hay
by merely dragging the rake. The head
OF therake was some six feet in length,
with a strong branch handle"

THE Mdc-d-cheek Press has the most ex-
alted admiration for Ex Governor DENIM
son and Hon. JOHN SHERMAN. 1t has be-
slowed reyiew-=not regular quarto, but
an editorial retiew-upon Governor DEN
rN1soE's recent letter on the state of the
country, which it concludes thus: g
y We trust that the Ex-Governor will
write again. We trust that he will write
frequently. And we would like to see
these letters collected in volume, to be
called Dennison's Views; or, the State
mans Manual. A cheap edition might be
published for the use OF common schools,
with notes by the learned David Quinn.
Indeed, If we could get the Letters and
Speeches of DennisOn, and the Speeches
and Reports of John Sherman bound In
one volnme; we should feel that we had the
weightiest book in the world"

Shocking Accident.

A correspondent informs the Bryan Dem
ocrat that a little girl belonging to Mr.. Ja-
cob Anderson was burned to death one day
last week, in Wyckesville Township, De-
fiance Co. Three children we're LEFT alone
q short time, and when the mother returned
she ascertained that a little girl had been
so near the stove that her clothes bad taken
fire. The mother found her lying near the
house in pool of water, her clothes all
burned off except small portion around
her neck, which was then burning. The
child was literally roasted alive, and died
shortly after being discovered. = Toledo

So overwhelming is the Republican ma
jority in Congress, and so revolutionary
the leaders thereof, that we shall certainly
have something to be thankful for il any
portion of their projects shall miscarry.
Doubts seem to be entertained at Washing
ton as to the ability Of Mr.. KELLEY to
secure the enactment into law of his bill
creating q Department Of Internal Rev.
enue, the design Of which is not TO promote
efficiency in the Internal Revenue Depart
ment, but simply to take out Of the hands
Of the President the appointing power, and
to use It In the furtherance Of Radicalism.
Doubts are also entertained as to whether
the bill abrogating the Southern State Gov
ernments and reducing them to Terri
torial condition can lie enacted into law.
The enactment Of these two bills into
laws would be most disgraceful Con-
gressional legislation, and consequently it
will be cause for thankfulness II the eoun-
J try shall be spared the infiiction upon it Of
this disgrace.
