time, actually in the military service as vol
unteers, and honorably discharging their dr-
ties to the Government. To hold that the
act of Congress imposes upon such the ne
cessity of proving their innocence, without
any conviction of guilt, would be an unrea-
sonable construction Of the act, and would
be attributing to the national legislature an
intention not warranted by the language and
connection Of the enactment.
1t follows that the judgment of the court
below, upon the case stated, was right. The
plaintiff not having been convicted of deser-
ton and failure to return to the service, or
to report to provost marshal, and not hav-
ing been sentenced to the penalties and for
FIXTURES of the law was entitled to vote
The judgment is affirmed.
WOODWARD, &. j.
/ concur in the conclusion stated in the
above opinion. and in most of the reasonings
by which that conclusion is reached.
But do not concur in treating the act of
Congress as valid enactment, for believe
it to be an er post tdcto law, in respect to all
soldiers, except such as commit the crime of
desertion after the date of the law. This is
not case of desertion subsequent to the en-
actfnent, but prior to it, and the penalties of
the offence are such as were fixed, by law,
when the offence was committed, and IT Is
not competent for the Legislature to increase
them, except for future cases.

in the South yet vote for Mr.. Jefferson for
President. In so doing, they show a. .Eener-
alton for one who was a MAN among men;
real white man, the uefriend of all men;
and the greatest statesman that ever lived
In thus voting for Jefferson, those men
show a love for the principles he enumerated,
in,the glorious Declaration that white men
are created equal, Z they prove themselves
patriots in striving to maintain the Constltu-
ton and the rich heritage Of Union and free
Government which Jefferson and his cOm-
patriots bedueathed to their descendants
be it remembered, Thomas Jefferson was q
consistent friend Of the Union sovereignty
and rights of the States And those voters
adhered to the same sound doctrine; they
loved Jefferson and those principles estab
hshed by the revolutionary fathers. and under
which, our Union prospered for nearly four
score years.. ss1se Attt -
Those poor men doubtless thought it bet
ter to have dead LION than Union-spllt-
ting nose of wax in the Presidential chair
Therefore, they were much more consistent
in their regard for Jefferson than are any Of
the Disunion Abolitionists In howling for
Lincoln, who was a mere echo, and tool for
demagogues, utterly incapable of enuncia-
ting anything but, that slnalldebt is easier
paid than larger one. He had not the
first qualification for the Chair of State, and
yet is virtually voted for by all the tanatical
negro worshipping gdisunionistsof the North.
Democrats never vote for dead men; we
have good living men in our party who hold
Jefferson's undying principles to vote for,
and with fair elections these would invariably
triuinphf 'iefs 1oa
But dead men vote for Abolitionists, and
hence they sometimes get into Office, as in
the case of Curtin against Woodward for
Governor, Lincoln against Mcclellan for
President, and in the case of Given against
Weaver for Commissioner in Philadelphia.
Will the Inquirer and Esq. Gilmore stick
pin there and say if they don't smell rat ?
but if the rat should smell them, he would
certainly have the worst of the bargain.

when she unmasks her beauty. not merely

skin. Some boys of u years, and under,

while girls appear in elegant costume of the

AHoRsE THIEF SHoT.-Early last Spring
a man calling himself William Greely, and
woman who passed for his wife, hailing from
Manistee, Michigan, arrived at Richmond,
Bay County, Missouri Shortly after Greely
opened a school in the vicinity, which he
kept until it was broken up, in consequence
of his numerically beating one of his pupils,
whose father beat Greely in return Shortly
after, it appears, he took TO horse-stealing,
which he carried on without suspicion for
some time. Finally, he left under dubious cir
cumstances, was followed and overtaken near
Chillicothe, Livingston County, having three
stolen horses and stolen revolver in his pos
session. This occurred on the 2Sth of June.
On his way back to Richmond he undertook
to make his escape, and threw snuff in the
face of one of his guards to enable him to
do so. Unfortunately for him the snuff af-
fected only one eye of his guard Ia Mr..
Brown, of Bay County who pursued Greely
as he ran of, and on his refusing to stop
when ordered to do so, Mr. Brown shot and
instantly killed him. Next day Mr.. Brown
surrendered himself, and was discharged
after a hearing of the case Greely was sup
posed to have accomplices in the neighbor-
ood.-NiSSOuTi RepublicaR.

TERRIBLE AFFArR NEAR MARION, ALA
BAMA.-On the night of the 2lst ult., about
nine o clock, some persons unknown entered
the residence of Mrs Remington, and with
some blunt piece of iron-probably hatchet
crushed her skull all to pieces. The MUIR
derer then attacked the children, a little boy
and little girl, aged respectively eight and
ten years. The skull of the boy he crushed
in two places, but failed, as the surgeon
thinks, to infict fatal injuries upon the girl.
In the house, at the same time, was very
old lady, the. grandmother, we believe, of
Mrs. Remington, and her daughter, Becky
Narramore, an aunt of Mrs Remington.
The skull of the latter was crushed to pieces
above the eyebrows, but the presence Of the
old lady in the house not being suspected,
she escaped.
When the bodies Of the dead and wounded
were found next morning, Mrs. Remington
was lying across her bed, her head swinging
off, as though she had been in the act of
rising when struck down The blood from
her crushed skull had run through the mat
trass upon which she was lying, and formed
puddle upon the floor Persons who wit.
messed the scene say it WAS shocking beyond
expression.
The negro has since been arrested, and is
now in the, Perry County Jail. -Ndrion Com

A Clergyman Whips his Child
to Death, ttk

We learn from the railroad men who came
from Medina this morning that there wos
great excitement In that village arising from
a report that Presbyterian clergyman,
named Lindsey, residing mile south of the
village, yesterday whipped his son three
years old, so severely that he died two hours
subsequently, because he would not say his
prayers. Report adds that the childs fin.
gers we're broken by the blows administered.
The report seems SO monstrous and unnat-
ural that we telegraphed to Medina to learn
ifit was true, and received an answer th9t it
was. The telegraph states that the minister
was two hours whipping the child with
heavy rod and it died from its injuries with
in the time stated above. Lindsey had not
been arrested at the time the dispatch was
sent, but we learn that an officer from Abb
on has gone to Medina to take him into GUS
tody. For the sake of common humanity we
hope the story is exaggerated, and it may be
possible that it is
Since writing the above we have received
by special telegraph the statement of Mr.
Lindsey, the father of the child, made to q
jury summoned by Coroner Chamberlain
"On the eighteenth of june the child dis
Obeyed his step mother, and commenced
correcting him, using a shingle for the pur-
pose, and continued to chastise him for more
than two hours, when the child beganto show
signs of debility, and j ceased to punish him
and laid him on couch and called my wife,
When she saw the child she said he was dy-
ing, and before twelve clock he wasdead."
The coroner jury returned a verdict yes
terday that death resulted from chastise-
ment by the father" 1t will be seen that
the whipping was given on the eighteenth
instant, instead of yesterday, and that COM
mon report did not in this instance oyerstate
the facts in the case. A child three years
old whipped to death by its father because
it could not or would not say its prayers? Is
it possible, and of all other persons, that
clergyman should be guilty of such piece
of inhumanity? The condemnation of the
public is not enough. The law should take
firm hold of him and deal out justice to him
with an unsparing hand. A cold blooded
murder-it can be called nothing less
should not go unpunished. No wonder the
people of Medina are indignant and excited.

Nor A CHRISTIAN, BUT A BAGGAGE MAS
TER-An accident happened to train on
the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad
awhile ago out in Ohio. The baggage-mas-
ter sat in his car reading at the time, but
perceiving by the motion of the car that an
accident had taken place, he attempted to
iump out. but was caughtb between two boxes
and badly jammed. He was taken outin an
insensible condition, and being laid upon the
ground an attempt was made to revive him,
which proved successful. As he opened his
eyes to a eonsciousnessof things, a clergyman
stepped out from the circle who surrounded
him, to offer prayer for his complete restora-
ton. He kneeled down by the side of the
of mercy, he asked the youth, Are you a
Christian p ''No, sir, as emphatically as
his weak condition would allow, 'I'm a
baggage-master on the Atlantic and Great
Western Railroad, So
