Early Piety.

The following is acknowledged to
be a good one, and will bear repeti-

A few years ago some roguish boys
in town not Thousand miles distant
from the capital Of Vermont, persuaded
Joseph c, or, as he was common
lg called, Joe, to attend Sunday School.
Joe was an Overgrown, half witted pro-
fame lad, and the boys had anticipated
considerable fun with him; but the an
swers to the various questions PROFOUND

that no one could for a moment sup-
pose that he was not fully versed i'll the
illogical lore.
joe was duly ushered in, and placed
on seat in front of the one on which
his frient were seated, and the recita-

emily, "who made the world we inhab-

''Eh ?" said Joe turning up his nose
like dying calf.

repeated the teacher.
Just as he was about to answer, one
of the boys, seated behind, inserted a
pin in Joe's pants, about nine inches
below the ornamental button of his
coat.
.'God Almighty answered Joe, in an
elevated tone, at the same time rising
quickly from his seat.
"rhat's is right" said the teacher,
'but it is not necessary that you should
rise in answering. A sitting posture is

Joe was again seated, and the cate

"Who died to save the world?" was
the next question.
The pin was again inserted, and Joe
replied, "Jesus Christi liz still loud

After Joe had Gained down, the ex-

The Bumgardner Murder.

We are indebted to Mr.. CHARLES
A. CLENDBSIN, Jr., for some addi-
tional facts in regard to the brutal
murder committed by Bumgardner.
which we subjein. Mr.. CLENDEErN,
was one of the prominent officers in
procuring the arrest of Bumgardner,
having followed him from this place
to the point where he was arrested,
and thence returned here with the
stolen team. He took the team from
here to Washington county, and was
present at the examination of Bum
gardner before the Magistrate.
The name of the murdered man
was joint. Eubank. from the valley
of Virginia He had been engaged
for some time in hauling oil from the
Burning Springs to Parkersburg-
The murder was committed at Hills
Landing, on the Ohio shore, about
seven miles below Parkersburg He
had started, under contract with
Bumgardner, to come to Addison
town, in this county, and remove his
(Bumgardner's) family to Parkers-
burg: The body of the murdered
man was found in the river at Hook
ingport, with the head cut of, and a
rock and chain attached weighing
over forty pounds.
The evidence before the examin-
ing court, although wholly circum-
stantial, pointed strongly to Bum
gardner as the murderer, and he was
committed to Jail, without the privi-
lege of bail, 10 await his trial before
the Court of Common Pleas.

FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF "MY
Policy. The New York Times is
getting its eyes opened rapidly
Every day brings it new evidence of
the treachery of Andrew johnson.
In that paper of Saturday we find the
following:
1t is announced from Washington
that George p. Putnam has been re-
moved as Collector of Internal Reve-
nue. in the Eight District, and Morgan
L.Harris appointed in his place. This
change is in the same direction with
several that have been recently made
Mr.. Harris has been identified fos
some years with the wing of the
Democratic party distinguished for
its sympathy with secession. Like
Mr.. Kinsella, recently appointed
Postmaster in Brooklyn, he has been
a decided "Copperhead," and has
made himself somewhat conspicuous
in that capacity.
We beg to assure the authorities
at Washington that every such ap-
pointment docs them and their cause
far more harm that ten good ones
can remedy. 1t touches precisely
the point on which the great body OF
the people, Democrats as well as Re
pablicans, are most sensitive. The
mass of the Democrats now wish it
to be understood that they were al
ways loyal--always for the war, and
always against the whole secession
movement Even Ex- Mayor Wood
proposes to subject himself 10 the
fatigue and expense of running for
Congress for the express purp cf
rebuking the Islander" that he eve.
sympathized with rebels. When,
therefore, men of such notorious 20
litical antecedents as the two we
have named, are appointed to high
Office as friends of the Admiuistra-
tion, its old friends and supporters
find themselves in strange aad un-
congenial company.
We know not what influences IN
duce these appointments; but We De
confident they are neither unselfish
nor judicious.

Exchange Of Prisoners.

Gen. BUTLER has been charged by
the copperhead press with being re.
sponsible for the sufferings Of our
prisoners at Andersonyille, by his
refusal to exchange prisoners with
the rebels unless they recognized
our colored troops as regular soldi-
ers. In his speech last Saturday, at
Hamilton, Ohio, he makes some
interesting revelations in regard to
this matter, which we subjein:

mer positions in the Union, is moth
ing more nor less than n work of
legislation. We are now ready to
take the last step in our argument.
If this work is legislative in its ma
ture, it fellows as matter Of course
that it belongs to the legislative
branch of the Government to do that
work. 1t would be in direct viola
ton of the Constitution, if either the
executive or judicial branches of the
Government should assume to exer-
else legislative functions. Neither
Of them therefore can assume to in
terfere in settling these great ques-
tions OF reconstruction. They be-
long exclusively to the province OF
the Legislative branch Of the Govern
ment. And who constitute the leg
islative branch of the Government?
Does Andrew johnson? Certainly
not. He Is the mere executive. And
the Constitution expressly provides,
that the whole Legislative power of
the general Government shall be yes
ted in the Congress of the United
States. Congress therefore, and
Congress alone, is the constitutional
arbiter of the whole work of recon
struction. And in assuming to act
upon this subject, they have not
usurped power which did not belong
to them, but have only exercised the
power delegated to them by the Con-
stitution of the United States. If
there has been any usurpation of
power, it has net been upon the part
Of Congress, but upon the part Of the
President himself, in as much as he,
the mere executive officer of the
Government, has assumed to exer
else functions purely Legislative.
Nay, President johnson himself has
repeatedly admitted, that the rebel
states were at the close of the war
lett without civil government and
that it was the province of Congress
and not himself, to reorganize civil
government in that section Of the
country. All his acts and declara-
tons, at the time lie established pro-
visional governments in those States,
attest the fact. In his North Carroll
na proclamation he expressly de
clares, that the rebellion has deprived
The people of North Carolina of all eiUa
government.
Again, on the oath Of July 1865,
President Johnson wrote to Gov
Sharkey, of Mississippi, as follows:
1t must, however, be distinctly
understood that the relation to which
your proclamation refers, rW Be sub
jeet to the aOiH Of Congress.
Again to Gov. Marion, of Florida,
he says:
"The government Of the States
shall be provisional only until the
State government is reorganized,
and the basis Of that reorganization OiN
be subject TO the decision Of Congress.
Here are the admissions of Mr..
Johnson himself under his own sign
manual, that the final settlement of
this whole question of reconstruction
is rishtfully vested in Congress, and
not in him, the executive. 1t is
therefore sheer folly for the Presi-
dent and his party to denounce Con
gress as usurpers and traitors for the
mere exercise of power, which in
fact constitutionally belonged to
them, and which, at the close of the
war, was universally acknowledged
to be vested in them.
