tional activity. But when it is four times a
week, and sometimes more, it becomes o
decided nuisance. We admire the game of
baseball. We admire the results, If indulged
in moderately, and it is because we want
to see young Americans have such game
always as recreation, that we oppose the
present excess. Unless it is remeded aud
the over-indulgence abated, we see that it will
disappear, as did cricket Our business men
will lose patience, and refuse continual alb
sence from duty. At present it is positively
losing money to both the employees and their
employers. This state of affairs cannot
continue, and as lovers of the sport, we
call upon those who actively engage in it, "to
draw it little more mild" as the meek phi
lospher says, and "not run the thing into the
ground"

1.-THE UsuTDation ~

WE publish to-day, from the Atlantic
Monthly, powerful and remarkable review
of President Johnson's recent and probable
future course. 1t is aptly entitled The
Usurpatlon," and is supposed to be from the
pen of Major-General Benjamin F. Butler.
While we cannot agree with the writer in all
OF his arguments relative to dangers that he
deems imminent, we must confess that some
OF the evils are actually threatening, which
might cultimate in something serious to the
country. 1t is the duty of every one, there
fore, to be prepared for the worst, and by
energetic action prevent the consummstion
of any scheme that savors of treason or would
iniure the interests of our country in any
way. Read "The Usurpation"

prescribing of rules and regulations, or in other
words Of LG,Os, for the formation OF State
governments. What is this but legislation,
and that too OF very high and important
orderP 1t is not the mere passage of statute,
but it is the creation of a State government.
There is no higher function than this known
to Congress. There has never been, in the
whole history of our Government, subject
Of more Importance to the people, nor one
upon which their right to make the laws was
more emphatic.
We thus see that the entire work of re-
construction is a legislative one, belonging,
under the Constitution, solely to Congress.
The President has no right to touch it in the
least, until some lG1c has been duly passed
by virtue of which ne may act. All that he
has done has been done outside of the law,
and has been a usurpation of the legislative
functions of Congress Congress is the popu-
lar branch of the Government. 1t is the
people speaking through their Representa-
tives. Whatever trespasses upon Congress
steps upon the people, The law making
power taLen out of the hands of Congress
is the law-making power taken out of the
hands of the people. 1t is the substitution
of some one mans will for the will of the
people. 1t is the One-man power trampling
upon and defying the people. 1t is an assault
upon the very citadel and heart of popular
rights. 1t revolutionizes the Government,
Transforming it from Government of laws to
one of arbitrary power. 1t puts one man
above the people. 1t gives us the essential
principle OF despotism in place of republican
liberty.
1t is the quick instinct of the people disco
vering this deep and vital issue which lends to
our present canvass an excitement and a
depth OF feeling hitherto unparalleled. The
integrity of Congress must be maintained, or
the popular character of our Government is
overthrown and lost forever.

DARING ROBBERY.

Seven Thousand Dollars stolen from N
Brokers Office I'm Hartford, Conn.
From the Hartford Times, September 29
A robbery, remarkable tor its boldness. has
recently been committed in this city, the partl-
culars of which have been withheld from the
public for reasons satisfactory to the parties
interested.
Two men, it is supposed, entered the sleeoing
apartment Of Alfred S. Robinson gold and stock
broker, in the Marble Block, Central Row, and
while he slept took his office and safe keys out
OF his pantaloons' pocket, and then proceeded
to the office, where they had no difficulty in
rummaeng to their hearts content
From the safe they abstracted Treasury notes
and coin to the amount OF $1,000, leaving behind
many valuable papers which they were shrewd
en99gh 20 know could rot be easily disposed OF,
and having done this, returned to MIR Robisnon's
house, ana replaced the keys where they found
them,
In the morning, on going to the office, he dis.
covered the robbery, which was, of course, a
great mystery to him. The safe was locked
and he had the keys. His suspicious were
excited, however as to the guilty parties, and
Information was given at once to the Chef of
Police, who has the caseain hand. No arrests
have set been made.

wisdom of God miraculously enabled her t.
