"A Luncntubl8 Case.

The Diddeford (Me. Journal Of
last week relates the following sad
consequences of yielding up honesty
TO the advice OF the tempter. "a
young man Of this State some eleven
years ago went to New York in
search of employment. He had been
promoted step by step, until he
had gained the place of chief clerk in
u large shoe dealing firm. He was
coming to Portland on visit, and
when nearly ready to start, an ac-
quaintance prevailed upon him to try
disposing OF counterfeit greenbacks.
AT Portland he passed three OF them,
but his conscience stung him, and he
had redeemed two of them, and was
after the last when ar ested. His
trial took place, and he was senten-
ccd to four years and u half i'm tho
state Prison. His wife was left in
destitute condition. The circum.
stances came TO the knowledge OF
Warden Rice, who very humanely Of
iered her situation in his family as
"'help'' ut which place she arrived
last Saturday night. We forbear to
comment upon this sad case of the
Yielding TO temptation, by which
young man OF worthy character in
one moment blasted his prospects in
nle, and brought disgrace and | en-

FRUITS OF WAR.

To sum up the benefits of war in the
overthrow of decrepd and corrupt
States, in the conquest of savage lands
in the destruction of barbarism-and
the spread of civilization-in the down
fall of tyrannies, and extension of free
institutions, and to weigh them with
the evils it has brought, neither the
time, nor our ability permits. Yet this
result is plain, that the sword has
wrought many changes, of the greatest
value to man, and been the remover of
many evils from the body polite, which
otherwise, to all appearance, must have
been perpetual plague spots. a harsh
remedy, yet has it often been better than
the disease. There are vices that become,
by long corruption so deeply inground
in national character, that blood alone
can wash them out. Where the life Of
a people is so diseased that all its insti-
buttons fail of their purpose, and become
sources Of corruption, and instruments
Of oppression, then we cannot regard
their forcible destruction an evil, how
ever great may be the misery which
this destruction brings upon its indi-
Vidual members. Who can regard the
overthrow of the Roman Empire by the
Northern tribes, or the defeat Of British
tyranny in our Revolution, as other
than benefits to the world, notwith-
standing the miseries that attended these
events?
Regarding war as a means to an end,
we cannot but deem it one which can

THE ADOPTION OF THE C0NSTI-
TUTIONAL AMENDMENT BY THE
SOUTHERN STATES,

Several prominent Republican editors
and orators of the North, have been re-
Gently urging the Southern States to
adopt the Constitutional Amendment
in order to avoid "the confiscation and
hangingo which will follow their refusal
to do so. Nothing could reveal more
clearly or painfully the spirit of in
justice and laWlessness which rules in
the Radical party. If the States, lately
insurgent, have a right to act at all on
the adoption of the proposed amend
ment, it is because they are States, with
all the rights, prerogatives and powers
of States-for none other are authorized
uunder the Constitution, to act on such
question. Being States then, and reeog-
nized as such by Congress in its very
offer of this amendment to them for
their adoption, they have the full power
to approve or reject it as they shall judge
in the exercise of this
power they may, of course, act as freely
as Kentucky or New York. 1t is diff
more unjust or impudent, than the
threats of these Radical leaders. The
South, however, understands them,-
ror Ct preterea niha. They are merely
barking dogs. Not q member of a
Southern Legislature will be influenced
in the slightest degree by their bullying
nenaces. Their honor and duty, and a
just regard for their own self-respect,
will not permit these States to sanction
this amcndment-and, if because they
should refuse to do so, any attempt
should be made to execute the threats
made against them, tens Of thousands
Of brave men, who fought them while
in rebellion, will rush to their defence,
against injustice, tyrannyand treachery,
so fragrant and vile.

Col. j. b. A. NADENBoUsCH, while he
declines any newspaper controversy
with one so utterly regardless of truth
and honor as the editor of the BerkeleY
Union, yet authorizes us to state, that
the Oath he administered to Bethuel M.
Kitchen in December, 1861, aras an Oath
of Allegiance to the Southern Confede-
rate Government-and that it also en-
bodied an abjuration of all allegiance to
the Frank Pierpont Government of
Virginia." and an obligation of fealty
to the old government of that State.
He also authorizes us to say, that it is
utterly untrue that he erer denied that
the above Oath was one of allegiance to
the Confederate Government, or asserted
that it was simply one of allegiance to
the State of Virginia. Mr.. Kitchen re-
ceived at the time, copy of the Oath
he took, and if he will publish it, all
questions as to its contents may be put
at rest. If he does not choose to do
this, we shall endeavor to do it our
selves in short time. The editor of
the Union alleges that Col. Nadenbousch
took an Oath that he had never aided
or abetted the rebellion, and now admits
that he voted for an appropriation of
ten thousand dollars for its support.

Coy. SWAMI, after a full and patient
hearing Of the evidence presented tor
and against the Police Commissioners of
Baltimore, has adjudged them guilty of
=" malfeasance in office,o and removed
them from the important positions
which they had so abused, for the lowest
personal and partisan ends. The testi-
mony reveals degree of political COR
ruption on the part Of these Radical
Commissioners, which can scarcely find
its parallel, unless it he in the conduct
of those, who, for the last two or three
years have administered the laws Of
this State. No deeper depth of political
depravity exists, than has been reached
by the Radical party in West Virginia.;
and if kind Providence would send a
Gov. Swami to clean out the Augean
stables here, the same gratitude would
be felt towards him, as now sWells the

them from the prosecuting power, and
unmitigated villainy of Radical rulers.

effect this, they have faltered at nothing

The Gaze9e says: "The Radical fac
ton, backed by an organized armed
force and a partisan Court, having man
aged to retain itself in power, despite
the removal Of the Police Commission
ers by Mr.. Swami, undertook to hold
an election yesterday. This election
was conducted very much after the app
proved and accustomed fashion of these
latter days. Every effort that could be
devised to secure a majority for the
Radical party was unhesitafingly and
unserupuIously rcsorted to; but not

citizens of Baltimore went to the polls,
the Conservatives carried every one of
the three Legislative districts into
which the city is divided. Had all our
citizens who are entitled to exercise the
elective franchise been permitted to
vote, the Conservative ticket would
have been elected by about thirty thou
sand majority. Had all the registered
