SIiDpery PLACES.

The pavements and streets of Columbus
may now with propriety be called "slip-

"bobbing around" and tumbling about
without carrying brick in their hats. In
passing three squares last night we wit
missed no less than ten hard falls. They
were all taken in good part and were pass
ed off in each case with hearty laugh.

General FuIIertOn.

On Thursday, General JOSEPH s. Full
LERToN passed through this city to Chilli
cothe. He was returning from Washington,
where ne was several days. He is in good
health, and was disposed to take an encour-
aging view of political affairs. To friends
of the Government at Washington-the
friends Of administering the Government in
accordance with the Constitution--matt
present the same appearance. They are
more hopeful than they have been for a
long while. They are not unmindful of
the fact that the Radicals are emboldened
to attempt to infiict upon the country the
EXTREMIST Of their revolutionary schemes.
This attempt, it is thought, will call down
upon their heads the maledictions of the
people, who will seasonably arrest them in
their attempted overthrow Of Republican
liberty in this country. 1t is to be hoped
that this cheerful view Of matters will not
prove evenescent.

Good Advice.
The Richmond Times, of Monday,

The Richmond Times, of Monday,
says:
Now that the great Philadelphia
Convention has adjourned and passed
into history, and the conservative
party to which it gave birth is en-
gagged IN war to knife with the
revolutionists and zeal disunionists.
we sincerely trust that the Southern
press will refrain from all utterly nm
profitable, unwise and untimcly com
ments and criticisms upon the ad-
dress and resolutions of that body.
Having expressed our dissent to those
resolutions which did not meet our
approval, let MS avoid all unnecessary
quarrels with our real friends. The
action OF the Convention meets the
hearty and entire approval of those
to whom we owe all of safety, honor
and political rights which we have
saved from the wreck of the Confcde-
racy and from the merciless grasp of
our political enemies. The President
has formally adopted the new party
MS the Administration party, and has
placed himself at it's head, with the
assurance OF All the aid and support
which his great Office commands.
Ihls party Is now fighting 4 great
battle, and, if it triumphs, the best
fruits Of its victories will be ours.
II, III the Fall elections, they crush
and annlhilate the revolutionists, the
honor and political rights of the
South will be forever secure. and we
shall once more become the peers
and equals of the triumphant section
i'll every department of the Govern
ment. If. however, the conservative
party is defeated, we shall be subject
eel to every insult and indignity
which radical malice can devise. The
negroes and their demoralized white
associates will be clothed with all
the political power Of the South
and we shall be disfranchised and de-
graded

IL 1t Peace!

Ia 1t Peace!
''And I do further proclaim, that
peace, order, tranquility and cicI
authority now exist in and throughout
the whole of the United States Of
America.
We put upon record to-day, as a
part of the history, and one of the
closing documents of the late civil
war, the proclamation of President
Johnson, in which the above para
graph occurs. We make this quo
tation, because we think it re-
moves all doubt as to the meaning
and intent of tho document in that
point which most affects the South
ern States We it,,licise civil au-
thority," because, if it ''exists," then
has the military power ceased to ex
ist as Il paramount authority-the
latter authority in time of peace being
always subject to the former
The restoration of civil authority
carries with it the restoration of the
hubeas c0rpuS, for according to the
Constitute OF the United States,
the privilep of that writ shall not be
suspended when the civil authority
exists. 1t is true, that in Il former
proclamation the President told us
that peace had been restored in all
the States, except in Texas, and yet
the military continued to exercise
authority as though such q proclama-
ton had never been written; but in
this second proclamation, he an
nounces that cieH auttorit.Y eristS
throughout the country.
If this be the proper construction
of the language-and there can scarce
ly be any other then are the military
courts in all cases between citizens
superseded by the civil courts Of the
land, and peace completely restored
If this be the purport OF the language
quoted, the proclamation, of course,
will be followed by the necessary
military orders abrogating the juris-
diction of military courts of all grades
over citizens of the United States
If it be not the purport of the docu-
ment. it substantially amounts to no.
thing more than transferring Texas
to q Government chosen by her own
people.
But it is clearly impossible that
military authority and civil law can
cO-eXist in the same community or
State; and, therefore, We recognize,
in the distinct utterance which we
extract, the abrogation of military
commissions, court-m:irtials and pro
vost courts, for the trial Of civilians
The formal restoration, in words, of
the privilege of the writ Of habeaS
corpus, and the official abrogation of
the authority of the courts referred
to, would have been more acceptable
and more easily understood by the
people; but we are Of opinion the
proclamation is just as eflcctual us it
now stands.

Il am assured that it required an
energetic despatch from the Empe-

quarters TO obtain the assent of
Prussia. The point on which the
King was the most exacting, was the
war indemnity demanded from Aus
tria, which is said to have been SO
enormous that she found it impossi-
bile III hey present financial condition
to pay. If l am rightly informed,
the Emperor Napoleon gave the
Prussian Government to understand
that his patience, as we'll as the pa
tience of Europe, was very nigh ex-
hausted by the exorbitant pretensions
put forward, seemingly with the OBJ
ject of rendering any arrangement
impossible, and that if persisted in it
would be for France to consider what
she should do. also hear that an

than friendly, was, at the same time.
