1t is often very easy to ascertain the
confidence party has in his own cause by
the manner in which he conducts his side
of the dispute. If he really believes at
heart in the sounGness and justice Of his
position, he will seek to maintain it, answer
ing argument By argument, and repelling
and refutiug charges by reference to the
facts of the case. When his cause is rot
ten, he avoids argument and rests passive
under charges he cannot refute, or seeks
to avoid their force by means of ridicule,
burlesque or evasion. Thus, when the
Johnstown tribune and those that are
: back Of itare fairly and plainly chargedw1th
unworthy actions andmotives, they for time
are silent, being incapable of giving answer,
and when at last provoked to a reply, it
is such one as might have been expect
ed from men conscious of the truth of the
accusations against them. The Tribune
affects offence at the editorial correspon-
dence appearing in these columns two
weeks ago, and appears to think there was
something "contemptible" III it. Yet the
Tribune shows itself an adept at the bus
mess of doing the contemplate thing, and
one abundantly able to fight the Devil with
fire whenever called upon. 1t is unable
to proceed four inches down loaded COL
umn before it succeeds in gratifying itsel!
with a swines company.
Quoth the little boy "Jackey, I've give
you many a piece of gingerbread and can
dy, and stopped big Jack Jones from
lickin' you, but you're mean, and I won't
do it any more, so won't" Quoth the
Tribune: "We've done many thing for
you, Mr.. Barker, and have been in good
earnest, and beer unselfsh, and been
timely, but, but, there are too many folks
to hear, or we'd tell you how We would
spite you !"
The Tribune, by replying when things
Of no moment were advanced, showed It's
willingness to defend itself and its friends
when possible for it so to do. BY its ST.
lence when grave charges were advanced
against it and them, and by its resort to the
bufoonery of clown, it admits all we
have charged against it and its hackers.
Having thus shown itself SO good at
clownish performances, we part company
with it until it can recover from its lido
syncrasies.

war in Europe.

A European war seems inevitable. Ii
was hoped until recently that congress
of the principal European powers would
be able 10 avert the catastrophe, but by
the action of Austria in asking the con-
grcss to agree beforehand that no exten-
sion of power nor increase of territory
should be granted to any of the nations
invited to the conference, all such hope
seems to have been dispe!led. Austria
having the sympathy of many of the Ger
man people, and also of Russia, ranges
herself against Prussia and Italy, with
France os their sympathizer.

From Maine.

On Thursday, the Republicans of Maine
held their State Convention and nomina
ted for Governor Cen J. L. Chamberlin,
gallant soldier of the war Of the rebel
lion. The Convention declared its conf
dence in the Republicans in Congress, and
among other resolutions adopted the fol-
lowing: "Reso20ed, That the Union par
ty of Maine plants itself upon the doe
trines of the Declaration of Independence,
and that we hold that all men, without
distinction Of race or color, are entitled to
the utmost civil and political rights. >
Evidently the nation does progress to-
ward Justice.

The Constitutional Amend
Hfsent.

The author of "my policy" has submit
ted the following message to both Houses
of Congress. Finding it impossible to
vcto the proposed amendment to the Con
stitution, he does the next best thing
and disapproUes it =
Il submit to Congress a report of the
Secretary Of State, to whom was referred
the concurrent resolution of the 18th inst,
respecting submission to the Legisla-
lures OF the States Of an additional article
to the Constitution of the United States.
1t will be seen from this report that the
Secretary Of State had on the 10Th inst,
transmitted to the Governor of the sever
al States certified copies of the joint reso-
luton passed on the 18th inst, proposing
an amendment to the Constitution. Even
In ordinary times question of amending
the Constitution must be justly regarded
as Of paramount importance. This i'm
portance Is at the present time enhanced
by the fact that the joint resolution was
not submitted by the two houses for the
approval of the President, and that of the
80 States which constitute the Union,
in either House of Congress, although.
with the single exception of Texas, they
have been entirely restored to all their
functions as States In conformity with the
organic law of the land, and have appear
ed at the National Capitol by Senators
and Representatives, who have applied for
and have been refused admission to the
vacant seats. Nor have the sovereign
people OF the nation beer afforded an op-
portunlty Of expressing their views upon
the important questions which the amend
ment involves. Grave doubts, therefore,
may naturally and Justly arise as to
whether the action of Congress is in har-
mOny with the sentiment of the people,
and whether State Legislatures, elected
without reference to such an issue, should
be called upon by Congress to decide re-
specting the ratification of the proposed
amendment. Waving the question as to
the Constitutional validity Of the proceed
ings of Congress upon the joint resolu-
ton proposing the amendment, or as TO
the merit Of the article which it submits,
through the Executive Department to the
legislatures of the States, | deem it proper
to observe that the steps taken by the
Secretary of State, as detailed in the ac-
compaDying report, are to be considered
as purely ministerial and in no sense
whatever committing the Executive to an
approval or recommendation of the amend
ment to the State Legislatures or to the
people on the contrary, proper appre-
citation of the letter and spirit of the Con
stitution as we'll as of the interest of ma
tional order, harmony and union, and
Difference for an enlightened public judg-
ment, may at this time well suggest
doubt whether any amendment to the
Constitution ought to be proposed by
Congress and pressed upon the Legisla-
lures of the several States for final decis-
ion until after the admission of such 10y
al Senators and representatives of the now
unrepresented States as have been or as
may hereafter be chosen in conformity
with the Constitution and laws of the
United States. ANDREW JOHNSON.

A Cow Case.

We remember, in our daily chronicle of
| police items, says the Pittsburg Gazette.
OF having quite recently poted the fact
that one Rosanna Burns, of Johnstown,
Cambria county, had been prosecuted be-
tore Alderman Lynch, Of the Third ward
OF tins city, for the larceny of brindle
cow from William Kelley, residing in the
suburbs. The full particulars we learned
upon the trial of the case in the Quarter
Sessions yesterday. 1t appears that some
t1co ye1rS since Mrs Burns sold the COW
TO the prosecutor, Kelly, for twenty-nine
dollars, this sum to be paid when the pun
chaser was able to pay it, During the
two years Mrs. Burns repeatedly asked
Nelly for the money. On each occasion
he sald he was not cable" to paw, but
would pay 1T when he was. Finally. a
snort time since, Mrs. Burns journeyed
hiSher from Johnstown, spent night
VITA the Kelly family, her errand being
10 set the pay for the bovine beast. She
met with the same success as on nrevious
occasions, and finally announced her de-
termination either to have the money
ltWenty dollars or the COW. The
former not being forthcoming, in taking
her departure she proceeded TO the past.

recognized herr took her along-and IN

called number of witnesses, who had
known the defendant for periods of from
ten 10 thirty-hve years, and testified that
her character in all respects was beyond
reProach. The case was submitted with
out argument OF counsel, and Judge S:er-
fett charged ;he jury, saying that the
taking of the COW being admitted. and the
defendant being ignorant of her legal
rights, the only question was as 10 the
telonlous intent. The Jury being salts

qulred as to the matter of costs The
Court said, unfortunately they (the jury)
mao nothing to say in the matter of costs
IN felony cases, prosecutor being privil-
eyed to prosecute any case of larceny, 10
matter how trihing, aud unnecessarily
occupy the time of the Court, without
fear OF responsibility of the costs. 1t is
scarcely necessary to say that the jury
found verdict of not gully without leav,
ing the box, and that Mrs Burns went on
her way rejoicing and aggrieved, gratifed
at her acquittal Of crime of which she
had no thought of committing, and feel
ing that great injustice had been done in
the bringing Of her under arrest to the
city rom John8town, compelling her to
ind bail under pain of Incarceration, and
the necessity of her attendance at court
to await '.the laws delay" with her wit
nesses, all to crafty the spite OF an igno-
rant Celt, to whom she had sold the COW
on terms solely dictated by her goodness
OF heart. The aforesaid Kelly retired
from court with all persons present feeling
that il there was any guilt in the whole
transaction, he should have been made an
swerable for it.

VINO HAS CHANGED ?--The Memphis
Argus, deliciously rebellious sheet, is
very loud in praise of President Johnson,
and thus euIogises him in recent issue ::
"The iron frmness, the undismayed sool,
of single man, is all that stands between
us and the fateful vortex of anarchy and
resultant despotism which has engulphee
the lives and fortunes of many millions
before us. Let us rally to the side Of
that man, determined to save or perish
with the Republic"
In 1861, when Andrew johnson indig-
nantly refused to join in the wicked
conspiracy to overthrow the Government
and destroy the nation, this same Argus
thus spoke of him:
owe should like to see Andrew John
sons lying tongue torn from his foul
mouth, and his miserable carcase thrown
out to poison mad dogs with, or hung
upon gibbet as high as Hama n, to feed
the carrion buzzards."

DIVORCE STATISTICS.-Obtaini q
divorce under the laws 0: this State is
both tedious and expensive proceeding,
but hundreds are found in every county who
are anxious to dissolve the matrimonial
relationship. In Philadelphia the number
of applicants has been increasing annually,
as exhibited by the Common Pleas record.
The causes for which divorces are granted
are desertion, ill-treatment and adultery,
and the number varies in accordance with
the above enumeration, suits tor divorce
on the ground of desertioD being the most
frequent. In the year 1868 there were
III applications for divorce. OF this
number, all, with one exception, were for
a full divorce the other was for divorce
from bed and board OF this number only
% were granted the remainder were
refused, or Withdrawal, or proceedings
stayed. In 1864, 243 suits we're begun,
of which 80 were granted. In 1863,
there were 282 suits, Of which 70 were
granted. Up to the present time this
year 159 applications have been made, Of
which number 80 have been granted. 1t
will be seen that the great majority Of
the applications made are not granted,
and it is very we'll that they are not. The
marriage tie must be held sacred, or sOcl-
ety would soon become disorganized.-
Many persons, who rush hastily into
matrimony, would unite the knot as rashly
and recklessly as they tied it, and from
causes the most trivial and absurd. The
law Of divorce can afford no relief for
i'll assorted or incompatible matches. 1t
only steps in for the protection of those
who have been abandoned or abused, or
whose lives have been made burdensome
by brutality or infdelity.
