ROCKVILLE, FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH o. 1865

to decide fairly and impartially, and if they
are not obnoxious to the charge Of wishing to
disfranchise the people, surely we are not.
The case is now in the Supreme Court OF
the United States, and for my own part ] can
truly say, that as desire to see so injudi-
cious piece of legislation eradicated in some
legal way, and every man now DISTINGUISHED
by it fully restored TO the right of suffrage,
l should feel very much gratifed II the highest
Court insthe land should take different view
to that which it was my duty to advocate,
and point out some easy, quiet and peaceful
mode of getting rid Of the law at once
Should they not do SO, however, it will hard
/ iysbe fair in anyfof my professional brethren
to lay the blame upon me. lfthey commence
| bad cases, and cannot make the Courts think
they are good ones, they must hold themselves
| responsible for the failure, and not me.
But have been guilty of the heinous crime
of acting as counsel for the Registrators, and
of receiving $4,000 of the peoples money
for my conduct as such counsel MS if every
man-even the veriest villain that degrades
the earth--was not entitled TO counsel and
as if it was not a constitutional right, and
| among the first things learned by every law
yer and law student in the land. l rather
think, however, that ''acting as COUNSEL
would not be considered quite so heinous if
had not received the grecn5dcks.
eThe negro, Russell, that was convicted at
the last Term OF our Court Of the most diabol-
ical crime that human vilany could perpe-
trate, was furnished with counsel by the
Court, ard that counsel could with as much
propriety be charged with encouraging that
crime, as can be charged with desiring to
distranchise the people, because was select
ed by the Attorney General to assist him in
the argument of the mandamus case. Even
old John Brown had counsel--and John e.
Cook, the accomplish of that conspirator, was
defended by the eloquent voice of the man
upon whose silver accents we all hung with
SO much delight on Saturday last, and who
made Virginia jury weep like children while
they pronounced their verdict Of guilty"
and while the wretched culprt hung quaking
for his life upon plea of mercy.
But have learned to bear obloquy and
abuse with equanimity and patience--adopt-
ing the better course of leaving them to recoil
on the heads Of their authors, while !, looking
neither to the right nor to the left, pursue the
even tenor of my way. feel grateful to God
that while Misrepresentation upon misrepre-
sentatibh, and SANDER upon SANDER have been
heaped upon me, and while have had every
| temptation 10 drive me into bitter controver-
sy, have been able to restrain myself on all
occasions from descending into low, vulgar,
personal abuse. Rather then indulge in the

THE YOUNG WIDOW.

She is modest, she is bashful,
Free and easy, but not bold
Like an apple, ripe and mellow
Not too young, and not too old,
Half inviting, half repulsive,
Now advancing, and now shy,
There is mischief in her dimple,
There is danger in Der eye. a
She has studied human nature,
She is chooled in all her arts;
She has taken her diploma,
AS the mistress of all hearts.
She can tell the very moment
When to sigh and when TO smile,
OF maid is sometimes charming,
But widow all the whilel
You are sadl How very serious
Will her handsome face become.
Are you angry2 She is wretched,
Lonely, friendless, fearful, dumb.
Are you mirthful? How her laughter,
Silver sounding, will ring out,
She can lure, and catch, and play you,
AS an angler does the trout.
All old bachelors of forty,
Who have grown SO bold and wise,
Ye Adonises Of twenty,
With your love locks in your eyes,
You may practice all the lessons
Taught by Cupid since the fall;
But know little widow
Who could win and fool You all n

PRUNING THE GRAPE. DR.. Warder.
of Cincinnati, where, os our readers
knows, the grape is trained on stakes.
gives the following short summary of tho
main points in January: Trim when
the vines are dormant, but not frozen;
remove all redundant wood, leaving only
so much for fruit as tho strength Of the
vine will enable it to ripcn, but avoid
such severity Of pruning as will force
an excessive wood growth. So soon as
the young shoots have attained the
length Of few inches, remove all tho
redundant growths and all the ground
suckers. Before blossoming pinch the
ends Of all very strong fruit branches
that spring from the bow, TO control
them, to make better foliage, and new
leaves on the laterals that are thus forced
out. and to encourage the vigorous growth
of the cones that spring from the spurs.
and which should be tied up from time
to time, and relieved of their lateral,
till they reach the top Of the stake.
after which they may be allowed to grow
at random or may be trained horizontal
ly from stake to stake IN. Y. Obscrrer.

dangerous wound in the lungs Mimic
ball passing directly through-from tho
effects of which it was thought that ro-
covery was impossible. His stay on
earth was, however, destined for longer
period. He recovered from his injuries
in short time, and participated in many
of the battles fought by General Gle
burne's division, from that time to the
conclusion of the war, receiving no less
than FIVE or six dangerous wounds, tho
marks of which he bears upon his person.
and of which he feels eminently proud.
A few evenings since, having business
Of some kind to transact with General
Stoneman, he reached headquarters, and
had passed beyond the guard line, when
he was ordered to halt by negro guard.
and not obeying the command, the negro
rushed upon him and drove his bayonet
into his body three consecutive times,
each time piercing the lungs, and in ons
instance passing directly through. This
statement would, by many, be regarded
as incredible, but for the fact that several
of our best surgeons, who have been in
attendance, and are at present rendering
all the medical aid in their power to this
man, assert that. notwithstanding the
dangerous nature of his wounds. bis
ultimate recovery can only be question
of time. We regard this as being one
of the most remarkable cases of the kind
that has ever occurred in this section of
the country. Memphis Commercial.
