Presentation. JOHN LYNCH is at home
for few days, having taken advantage of the
recess at Washington, to pay short visit to
his friends in Portland. Those who have no
ticed how constantly Mr.. Lynch is in his seat
in Congress, and the smaller number who du-
ly approaching the labor of legislation, have
noted his agency in the many important mat
tiers in which his constituents are immediate
ly interested, and the part which he has taken
in the discussion of the great questions of fl
nance and taxation, will not be surprised
to learn that he shows the marks of over
work and will doubtless be benefited by a few
days of rest. Of5Mr Lynch's position on the
greatest question of the hour, of his stead
fast devotion to the principles of equality upon
which this government was founded, which
the Northern people fought to maintain and
will not now surrender, it is enough to say that
his words and his votes are alike satisfactory
to the men who elected him, and who after
trial are now DESTROYS of availing themselves
still further of his ripened experience.

Uoholdiny the Constitution.

The support that has been given py
the Democratic party 10 President JOHN
son is really nothing more nor less than
the endorsement of, and respect ior the
the constitution of the United states
The outburst of popular enthusiasm that
has been excited by Mr.. JoHNsoN's re-
cent course proceeds solely from love ior
that immortal document that the Presl-
dent has chosen for his guide he mas
declared that the constitution is now
rnrolled and must henceforth be regard
ed as the supreme law of the land, and
this II is that has caused the Democratic
and conservative masses of the people
| to rally gladly and unitedly to his sup
mort And so long as he abides by the
letter and spirit of that great charter OF
American freedom, and shapes all his
official acts in conformity Herewith SO
1onp will he be sustained and upheld by
the people. 1t matters not by what
marty name the President is called, anu
il makes no difference by whose votes ne
was elected, so long as he is strictly
governed by the constitution OF the
United States the liberty of the people
is safe.
1t isa strange and sad commentary
upon the political history OF this nation
during the past few years that, when
President of the United States who has
solemnly sworn to support the constitu-
ton, fulfls the promise made in that
oath and simply does his duty, it is
deemed fitting occasion for the display
of bonfires and, illuminatious and other
demonstrations of popular joy. The
President makes a speech breathing de-
yotion to the constitution and hostility
| to those who have been trampling 1T
under foot, and Immediately the event
calls forth all over the land such
a grand uprising Of the people
in support of the principles he
| ayowed as has been seldom witnessed IN
this country. He has uttered no new
truths, enunciated no new doctrines he
has simply done what as an honest man
he was bound to do and yet perfect tu-
mutt of popular rejoicing takes place, as
though honesty and fidelity to the con-
stitution were strange things in the con-
duct of public servants during these lat
ter wears. No other nor better
proof can DO given of the govern
mental departure from the constitution
in the past, anu the popular sense OF
danger to free institutions, and the lack
of faith in the integrity OF public men
that has grown up during the last few
wears. than has been afforded by the un-
usual enthusiasm eyinced in support OF
the constitutional policy inaugurated by
| ANDREW JOHNSON 1t seems as though
a weight has been lifted from the public
mind, and, with one eXnltant, joyous
bound" they leap to the support of
those fundamental principles OF govern
| ment that gave to the United States all
the prosperity they eyer enjoyed. The
people feel that there ID hope for the Re
public yet

Many of the readers of your paper
have heard Of Bethany College. This

Long regarded as the principal seat of
learning Of the Disciples sometimes
called Campbellites), a denomination of
over 400, 900 communicates in the Mis-
sissippi Valley, n considerable portion
of its patronage was drawn, before the
war, from the slave States With the
fall of the rebellion this patronage has
been renewed, and during the present
session nearly dozen of Confederate
soldiers have been admitted as students.
The location Of the college in the in.
tensely loyal Pan Handle of West Vir
ginia, the known determination of the
Faculty to repress every disloyal mani.
festation, and the esprit da corps of the
whole school, had, until recently, kept
the chivalry in order and rendered their
conduct unexceptionable. But the
venom was in their hearts, and only
awaited a secret opportunity This pre-
scented itself a few days since, when
Brigadier General T. NJ Harris addressed
our citizens in behalf of negro schools
The General himself was odious from
having sat on the military court that
tried the assassins of our lamented Pres.
dent; but his subject, the elevation of
the negro, was more than rebel human
nature could bear. That he must be
outraged was plain; that it must be done

Whisky.fortunes.
Illicit whiskey-distilling is said to be the
money-making business now in this direc-
ton. Philadelphia is said to have from
six to eight hundred private stills in opera
ton at this time, and in one section alone
of this city there are believed to be over
two hundred. AS a small still that will
run a hundred gallons week will pay its
proprietor ten thousand dollars year in
the evasion of the duty alone, cupidity ma
turally prompts world of ingenious peo-
pie to secretly pursue the business. But
in addition to these there are the distillers
who can produce many barrel per day,
bribe the inspectors, pay the duty ON one
half and smuggle the other into trade and
consumption. Plenty of whiskey can be
quictlypurchascd for topper gallon, though
the duty alone is two dollars gallon, and
this may furnish us with some idea Of the
quantity illicitly manufactured and dispos-
ed of. We think this species of fraud is
encouraged rather than diminished by the
officers OF the government at present. They
invariably compromise all seizures and ar
rests in the premises on the payment of a
fine! Now, when the risk is so little and
the profit SO vast, it would be marvellous
indeed if the enterprise We're not under
taken by thousands, from the poor man
with his copper kettle in the cellar, to the
rich one with his huge stills and other
costly apparatus in his capacious distillery.
The new law, though, goes into operation
next Wednesday, and that compels each
distiller to pay Ave dollars day to gov
ernment inspector to watch his proceed
ings; but inspectors have both hearts and
pockets, and many of them will be selected
from gentlemen tolerably familiar with the
multiplication table. SO we may expect
lively time of it.-N. y. Sunday Times.

ALL RIGHT AT LAsr.-Tennessee has,
at length, been fully admitted to her ma
tional representation. President johnson s
son-in-law, Judge Patterson, is one of her
senators. 1t was conclusively shown that
he was urged, by Unionists, to become a
judge under the rebel government, in or
der to afford protection to Unionists, and
that he used his authority for that loyal
purpose. Despite the partizan opposition
manifested, therefore, he was accepted
AS Tennessee does not permit colored peo-
pie to vote, her re-admission to Congress
isa significant retrograde movement on
the part of the congressional majority !;
for it will not do to repeat the old argu-
ment that Tennessee was ''out of the
Union," when her representatives, just ad-
mitted were elected nearly year ago,
and are voted their pay for the whole of
the past session of Congress. If all the
other late rebel states were equally re-
stored to their national rights, the Union
would once more be perfect. .-Erchonge.

SADowA.-The battle of Sadowa, accor-
ding to the letters of correspondents of the
English papers on the field, was one of the
most tremendous encounters of modern
times. According to the letter of w. II.
Russell, to the London Times, the Prus-
slams won their victory, not with their
needle-guns, but by superior prowess and
better fighting qualities than those of their
enemy. The ground was net well adapted
to infantry firing. The battle was tre-
mendous artillery duel. Prince Frederick
Charles and the Crown Prince appear to
have had independent commands in the
Prussian army, but to have acted in admi-
rable concert-thc former attacking the
Austrian army in front while the latter
was turning their left flank. No less than
fifteen hundred pieces of artillery were
brought into play on both sides, and du-
ring the battle ten villages We're burned.
