The Press defined treason" by quoting GER
batim the Constitutional definition of that crime.
If We had for a moment supposed that the Ar
gus would fall into this painfully ludicrous
Misrepresentation, we would have marked the
citation distinctly. As the case stands, though
with the definition, we don't see how he can
help himself The Press is not responsible for
the shortcomings Of the Constitution, and the
immortal old instrument itself will probably
stick to its defective" definitions and contin-
us to assert that "there can be no treason with

The TEMPERANCE REFORM.-It is most graf
flying to us, it is no doubt to all friends of
reform, to observe general awakening among
the people on the subject of Temperance in
our own State, as well as in other States, and
that the friends of the cause see the Importance
of bringing to their aid an auxiliary whose in
fiuence is beyond all estipate,-t press, AN
agency employed by all wise educators and re-
formers the world over. Not only religion,
philosophy, and politics, but every shade of re-
ligious faith, and every hue of political creed,
must have its published organs But, if we
give the people no Temperance reading, and
the cause has no particular organ of its own,
they of course suppose it is not subject of
sufficient Importance to have their attention;
especially is this true of the young. There
fore, it was with pleasure that we announced
the proposed publication of weekly Temper
ance paper,-the Riverside Echo. This paper
affords the friends of Temperance and reform
an excellent opportunity to serve the cause by
circulating among the people one of the best
papers in the land, filed with good, whole
some Temperance and other useful reading
We unite with the Price Current in saying
that such paper as the Echo is much needed
at this time, and should be largely cir culated
and read, for "wine is mocker, and strong
drink is raging" all around us, and the allure
ments to evil are on every hand. Friends of
Temperance, at once subscribe for the Echo,
and use your influence in extending its circu-
latiOn, ii you would see steady and healthy
advancement of the good cause in our State,

A Coon DEAL TOO SHARP.--Why will not
the Argus give over the vain attempt to be
critical and precise, and all that and be salts
fed to apply its common sense to the ques-
tons it is called upon to discuss! Here is its
last experiment with the critical boomerang
SHE'D at the Press, but returning with great ce-
lerity and accuracy upon the sender:
Our neighber, when essaying to be technical,
should be careful to be so. In the article yes
terday it defined treason to "consist in levying
war against the United States" yet if the
people of Canada were to make war against
us, we presume the Press would not claim they
were guilty of treason. Its definition was
therefore defective by the omission of an i'm
portant element of the crime. Again, it said:
"There can be no treason without war; Shay's
Rebellion in Massachusetts, and the Whiskey
Rebellion in Pennsylvania, were not wars
technically speaking, yet we presume the
Press does not doubt that the citizens of Mas
sachusetts and New Hampshire who engaged
in the former and the citizens of Pennsyiva-
mia who engaged in the latter, were guilt, of
treason s ~

Singular Discovery in scotlond.

A curious stone figure has been
found in q Quarry at Wisba~ n
Scotland, which IS TO be sent to the
British Museum. A local paper says
On the bank Of frcestone quarry,
which is being worked at the lower
end of the town Of Wishaw, is TO be
seen q sculptured like form, which,
at first sight, is not unlike one OF
tue sand heaps which have EMBEDDED
the ruins Of ancient Nineveh. The
operations Of the queries have re.
gently disintered it from its rocky
tomb in the bottom OF the quarry,
and. by great care in hewing out the
around it, they have been enabled TO
secure il in almost entire state
The workmen have turned up many
similar forms Of late, or similar size !;
but when this was first met it crea
ted quite q sensation among them,
for. from the position in which 1t
was found lying, the parts first un-
covered bore a remarkable resemb-
lance to the human form. Its head
and body together measure about
eight feet long, and its shape is some
what different from any member Of
the saurian tribe that has hitherto
been discovered in the same section
of rocks. 1t seems to belong to a
higher order Of life, and bears strong
resemblance to members of the seal
or walrus tribe that tenant the seas
and lounge on the shores Of the
present day. 1t appears to be lying
on it's side, on line parallel to what
must have been the tidal wave It's
forefns or paddles are folded into
its belly. The rock in which it Is
found 0verlies the main coal, and is
that description designated by the
quarters and builders as liver rocks
--ar anonymous freestone, having
neither beds nor vertical cracks,
presenting the appearance of having
Deen formed in conyulsive waters,
and under different conditions from
the ordinary bedded rocks. A few
yards from the place whore these
fossil mummies have been extracted,
alg@ or seaweed are seen in great
abundance.

West Virginia.

Republican victories have become SO
much q matter Of course, of late,
that little notice has been taken of
the glorious triumph in West Virgin
Ia, on Thursday last. The result
of the election for State officers and
the three members Of Congress,
shows that the young and gallant
State so recently carved from the
rebellious Old Dominion, is still true
to the principles for which her sons
fought in the late war, and for
which the people endured so many
sacritices The returns show an
increase Of some three thousand in
the Republican majority, as oompar-
rcd with the last preceding election.
A desperate effort was made by the
CopperheaGs, backed by Andrew
Johnson, 10 turn the State over to
the rebels. Their ignominious fail
ure is another signal rebuke to the
humble Individual at the White
House. Out Of the seventy-ono
members Of Congress elected in
Vermont, Maine, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, Iowa and West Virginia,
only twelve are in favor Of Johnson,s
policy of reconstruction, while
the remaining ffty-nine are openly,
AvOwodly and uncompromisingly
hostile to ii. And the twelve are
expected to support the President
were all Peace Democrats and enc
mics Of Johnson previous to his
apostacy and would have been
elected as surely without the infu-
ence Of Andrew Johnson a they
were with it. Indeed, it is certain
that in swinging around the circle,
the humble individual reduced the
maiorities of several of these repre-
sentatives elect. Not single mem
Der of Congress has thus far been
elected, directly or indirectly, by
all the influence Of Andrew Johnson,
notwithstanding he has exerted both
TO the utmost TO accomplish the re-
turn Of members favorable to LIS
policy. There has, in fact, been q
loss Of two NON bers, for in 1864,
fourteen Copperheads receive oertif
fcates Of election, and actually took
their seats in the House, aud kept
them, until two were elected on the
ground of fraudulent elections. Il
the President can get any satisiac
zion ont Of such state Of fact, be
is entitled to enjoy it.

BALL INcIDEHT-At a dance in
Harlem, New York, one evening last
week, there was q young lady &c
curiously got up that she was the re
marked of al present. Her dress
was rich white silk, and had it been
allowed to remain in It's purity, would
have been all very we'll but Miss II
wanted something more striking, and
so she had large gilt buttons sewn
closely together on every seam, and
around the bottom ofthe skirt. The
effect in a picture might not have
been unpleasant, and no doubt the
dress was accurately copied from La
Foilot, but the effect on the ladies
and gentlemen who were unfortunate
enough to be near her in the dance
was most unpleasant, as at every
movement of the skirt the buttons
knocked against the nearest ankles,
ard made their possessors almost
won't their pain in words not too fat
tering to the wearer of tho buttons.
BY and by the gentlemen, one and
all refused to dance with buttons,
and she was left for the rest OF the
evening 8 disoonsola:e wall dover.

FaRt.re TO ArTaign JEFF Davis Whsye
the responsibility Rests.
| Washington Dispatch &c the Chicago -fgtuns.sf
AS the publishing correspondence
between the President and the At
torney General seems intended 10
mislead the public in regard 10
where the responsibility for the CON
tinued delay in the Davis case
should rest, il is proper 20 state that
the trial Of jeff Davis might have
taken place at any time since Els
capture, If the Government had
chosen to have him tried. A Mill
tary Court could have been orgauiz-
ed for the purpose while Virginia
was under Military Governor, or
be could have been tried before the
Circuit Court Of the United States
by District Judge Underwood, who
has held Circuit Court terms regu
larlg during the time, subject, how
ever, to military supervision and
control. Since the military govern.
meht has been withdrawn By the
proclamation declaring peace re-
established throughout all the States,
Chief Justice Chase and Associate
Judge Wayne have been ready TO
join the District judges in the sew
cral Districts in holding the Circuit
Courts. They could not join in hold
ing them while the military govern
ments lasted, but have been always
willing to do so as soon as military
supervision and control should be dig
claimed. Indeed the Chief Justice,
soon after the close of the last term
Of the Supreme Court in April last,
requested the President to issue a
proclamation, no matter how shont,
but disclsiming such supervision aud
control by declaring martiel law ab-
rogatcd, and the h05eaS corpus res
tored in all cases Of which the United
States had jurisdiction. Had this
been done be would have joined Judge
Underwood III holding the Circuit
Court in May last. Since then an
act of Congress has been passed abol-
ishing one Of the circuits, and chang
ing seven others, one of which is
that including the District OF Virgin
ia. but making no provision for new
allotment of the Judges of the Su
preme Court TO the new circuits
This makes livery doubtful wheth-
or these Judges have authority 10
hold the circnit courts or sit with
the District Judges in holding them.
But It does IO- affect at all the aQ-
thor;ty of the District Judges to
hold thcyn. The circuit will be held
at Richmond in November, by
Judge Underwo God, ard will doubt
less try any cases which the Gov
erdment may bring before it.
