notoriously hostile to the Constitution and the
Union, they are no more entitled TO represen-
tation now than they were when their SWORDS
were drawn, their Confederate banners Haunt
ing, and their Rebel ranks in battle array.
Admissions of the illegality and wickedness OF
the Rebellion on the part of the Rebels are not
so numerous as to be tiresome, by any manner
of means. To sneak into Congress with patriot
blood still dripping from their skirts, with the
old slaveholding olgarchy still retaining It's
pristine power and still distranchislng nlne-
tenths of the population, with the leaders OF the
Rebellion still eligible to offices OF authority
and trust this seems to be the chief amoltion
of traitors retired from active business-these
are the immunties which they do not so much
ask for as demand with General Dix for packer
And should they carry their point, become once
more a power in the General Government,
dominate once more in the Senate and the
House, and make Congress the supple instru-
ment of a scheming and unstable President,
then. we suppose, General Dix will elevate his
voice. and proclaim to all the four points of the
compass that the republic is purified and
strengthened"-tha "the grand old reality of
better times" is Testored-that we have at last
zone country, one flag, one Union of equal
States!r
A country just escaped from mortal peril, and
still with much hard, practical work before it,
if il would live and prosper, will not suffer itself
to be misled by the most charming exertions of
rhetoriCians. The people understand these
matters as well now as they did during the last
Presidential election, and the issues are much
the same The President wants q House of
Representatives to do his work; the people want
one to do their work, and for the present, at
least, it will be as the people will.

The Deranqement Of Values.

In carefully considered article upon
the above subject, the New York Econo-
mist of Saturday gives comparison of the
current values with those of other days,
which are suggestive 1t is assumed
that by the war the country has lost per-
manently fully one million of men from
the ranks of labor, which corresponding
ly reduced the number Of producers
while the consumers have increased.
Consequently, as compared with other
times, we have scarcity of commodities,
and the inevitable result is the present
high prices. The Economist in exhibit
ing the relation between present prices
and those current before the war, quotes
twenty six of the leading articles of pro-
duce, giving the average quotations at
New York for the year 1859 and the
market prices March 9, 1866, from which
it appears that the advance in prices, in
currency value, is ninety four per cent,
and in gold fifty per cent. This wide
disparity between present and former
values cannot long continue. and it is
argued that if reduction is not early
effected our producers must be exposed
to most damaging competition from
abroad in our own markets.

A Likely Story, and Probably Untrue

A story has been started that Congress
will pass the civil rights bill, and that if
President johnson does not then imme-
diately carry it into execution, he will
be impeachedi This is but rehash of
the programme OF John Minor Bolts, in
1912, when John Tyler refused to be-
come the tool of the Wings, who had
taken him up and nominated him as Vice
Presid lent, we'll knowing his political an
tecedents. Bolts proposed to impeach
him, and while the articles of impeach-
ment were under consideration, to have
the House adopt s.a resolution declaring
the Presidents legal inability to dis
charge the duties and powers of his of
fee, while his trial was pending in the
Senate This would have made Mr..
Mangum their President pro tenn. of the
Senate, President pro TEN. of the United
States. and he would have signed the
bank bill. the tariff bill, and all other
bills to which Mr.. Taylor objected on
constitutional grounds.
Now it is said that while the Presi
dent is to be declared legally incapable
Of exercising his functions while under
impeachment, the Cabinet are to run
the machine Silly as this programme
is there are fools who believe it, and
there are bad men who wish it might be
true, so | chronicle it as part of the
news of the dav.-W ashington Core
spondence.

From the Cincinnati Volksblatt, March %.

We have attentively per sued the obiec-
tons urged by President Johnson his message
against the Civil Rights Bill, and do hesitate
declare that we find the majority Of them well ground
ed and fully indorse them. The object of the bill is
just and laudable, but the and the mode by
which the end, viz: Protection to the Freedmen. is
sought to be attained, wrong Such concentra-
ton Of powers, in the General Government is
templated by the BILL is incompatible with politi-
cal organism. and not be adopted in this country
for the attainment even of the noblest ends.
The political life Of this nation pulsates through
organisms which, in their vital functions can not be
checked without endangering the soundness Of the
whole. The talk in this country of Republic, one
and indvisible," Of which some Of Radical friends
may have dreamed, is pure nonsense.
In short, in the under consideration the Presi
dent is far more in the right than Congress The veto
of the Civil Rights Bill and will not sever him
from the Union party. If there is be a rupture be-
tween him and the party, it mus, in a moment,
when he has the greater right in his favor but the
greater wrong against him.

Henry Ward Bsecher leetured the other evening in
Philadelphia on reconstruction. We find room for an
extract:
Constitutional amendments needed and the
President seemed afraid much ,aulperDg would

slavery kept out, and then shut ii up forever. The
present basis Of representation must come OUT

should not have applauded until I had finished APP

Heretofore. the majority of these had been con
testants and IT was fair TO suppose they Would be
novices at making Government after SO long trial
At breaking down that made by slavery. The kind
and patient Mr.. Lincoln cudgeled and whacked
by Congress- and he bore il with pstien. spirit re-

The Rinderpest,

The New York State Agricultural So
cietv have received from Professor Will
son. of Edinnurg. very important infor-
nation IN regard TO this terrible disease,
and, with the reports made by him and
Others, eolored drawings and illustrations
which show the whole progress of the
disease, from the first attack to tile death
OF the animal These drawings and the
reports made upon them are invaluable.
and put this country in possession of all
the information secured abroad after
the labor of months Professor Wilson
reports the disease as wholly incurable,
aud adds that in view of its dangers and
rayages the authorities have prohibited
and ordered the killing of all animals
which shall not recover in three weeks
after their first alta ok. as the rapid spread
of the disease during this time is sure TO
ed the separation of all diseased animals
from those which are healthy. Notwith
standing the rapid spread of this disease
] and its yirulence. Professor Wilson states
in his letter to the Secretary of the State
Agricultural Society, that in two case
out of three which have fallen under his
observation. by careful nursing and no
other mode of doctoring, the animals re-
covered, which is very important infor-
nation In W ales none of the cattle have
been attacked, and few or none in Scot
land The disease known as Pleuronao-
/ MIA, which attacked cattle in the United
States some years since, is under COM
/ plete medical control, and is altogether
different from the Rlnderpest, though q
predisposing cause TO it. The illustra-
tons furnished by Professor Wilson
| show that the disease is quite new one
in many of his features. If good nurs-
ing can cure it why may not proper care
] be taken to prevent its introduction
among US? The whole subject is one
of immense Importance. and not alone to
all cattle raisers, but to all consumers OF
cattle.

The GAINESVILLE Signal gives the fol-
lowing humorous description of :. free
ride on the cars. A GAINESVILLE man,
being :. fiat broke and wanting to 90 to
Columbus. concluded to s. brass it, and
accordingly took a seat in car on the
Central Ohio Railroad. The Signal thus
describes the trip:
The tram had nearly reached Clay

will call Jones, had reached our dead
head friend in his round Of collecting
tickets and fares

Conductor.

Conductor.

dead head acquaintance.
You must pay your fare or get off the
train said the Conductor.

head.
The train was stopped, and he was left
on the side Of the road, 10 await, as he
said the next train. on which he succeed
ell in getting. The same scene trans
pissed. ending by dead head telling the
conductor to stop her. and he being
again left on the side of the road.
Train after train was boarded, and
each put him off nearer Columbus. The
last train on which lie got was that oil
orr friend Jones. who was on his return
trip from Bellaire to Columbus. Dead
head got on his train at Pulaski, and was
under full Roadway before being discov-
cred by the conductor.
Going to Columbus again, I sup
pose. remarked Jones.
Haven't been there vet said dead
head: can't get to ride more than six
