WARNING TO EvIL-DoERs.-On account
of the small heed paid to the observance
of the laws, and especially the liquor
laws, some of our State Judges are dealing
out some rather stiif-sehtences, as warn
ings, we suppose. In Pittsburgh, short
time since, His Honor, Judge Sterett,
passed sentence upon liquor-seller as
follows:
On the first charge, viz surety of the
peace, you will pay the cost of the prose
cution. Upon the second charge, that ofsel
ling liquor without license, you will pay
the cost. Upon the third charge, that o.
felonous assault and battery, you will
pay fine of six cents and costs, and un-
dergo an Imprisonment of one yearin the
Western Penitentiary. Upon the fourth
charge, that of selling liquor without Ii
cense, Ohe second conyiction) you will
pay fine of thirty dollars and COSTS
Upon the fifth charge, that of selling
liquor without license, (the third convic-
tion,) you will pay fine Of forty dollars
and costs, and be imprisoned 20 days in
Jail after the sentence to the penitentiary
expires. Upon the sixth charge, that of
selling liquor on Sunday, you will pay a
fine of $50 and costs, and undergo an
Imprisonment of 40 days in the county
Jail, to take effect at the expiration of the
previous sentence

The President.

The President is so constituted by nature as
to be incapable of maintaining medium course.
He is always necessarily in excess. Hence he
is a good leader of faction, but bad leader
for whole people Upon his accession to the
Presidency, In the violent death of Mr.. Lincoln,
he displayed the same fierce and implacable
energy that had enabled him to trample down
his enemies and the enemies of the Union in
Tennessee. His breath was flame of fire. II
threatened to consume every man who partici-
pated in the rebellion. His vioce rang out over
the whole land in wierd tone, resembling that
in which the early calphs condemned captured
cities and prisoners to wholesale slaughter
When he cooled, he subsidized TO the other eX-
treme. He grew enamored of rebels and Cop
perheads-took them into his confdence-en-
tered into their schemes-pledged them his pro-
lection and -operation-conceived the idea
that they were truer to the Constitution than
the men who stood by his side all through the
great struggle, and at last formed the plan IL
making over the Government into their custody
and control transfusing it with their sentiments,
and subordinating it to their principles. IL is
easy to see that if such regime should actually
be established, loyalty would become odious-
Il badge of disgracc-that all who are conspic-
uous for il would be made ito take back seats
would be regarded, and denounced as traitors.
This was cl,arly fofeshadowded in the Presi-
dents 22nd of FEBRUARY speech, in which he dc
nounced Sumner, Stevens, Wade, and others.

AS we judge, Congress has hit upon medium
policy, equally removed from the imputation OF
severity or weakness. Ifleft to our own thought,
we should have inc lined to some more effectual
provision for the rights of colored loyasts, but
it is possible the proposed arrangements will
work better than a more summary process.The
Congressional plan does not lay disabilities or
the masses of Southern people. 1t would re-
store them at once to an equal participation in
the government, and under them equally eligi-
bleto the highest honors. 1t forces no anchor

a very extraordinary encounter be-
tween rat and an elephant has taken
place at the Garden of Plants, which was
witnessed with intense interest by hun
dreds of persons: The keepers were en-
gagged in destroying great number of
rats, when one of them escaped and ran
to the spot allotted to the elephant. See
ing no other refuge, in the twinkling of
an eye the rat snugly ensconced himself
in the trunk. of the elephant, very much
to the elephants dissatisfa ction. He
stamped his foot and twisted his trunk
round like the sail of windmill After
these evolutions he stood suddenly still,
evidently rejecting on what was best to
be done. He then ran to the trough
where he is accustomed to drink, and
plunged his trunk into the water. He
then returned to his den, and, raising his
trunk, with the water he absored he
dashed out the unfortunate rat, which
was in volume of water like that issuing
from fire engine. When the rat fell to
the ground the elephant seized him and
made him undergo this emersion and pro-
lection four times. AT the fourth throw
the rat fell dead. The elephant, with a
majestic air, but cool and placid, crushed
his annoying little enemy with his foot,
and then went round to the spectators to
make his usual collection of cake, sugar
and other dainties. The feat was receiv-
ed with vociferous applause, which the
elephant seemed fully to understand and
appreciate.
