A Man PRESENTED AS A NUISANCE BY
THE New YORK BOARD OF HEALTH.-His
abode is barrel, around which he spreads
several filthy old carpets on the bare rock.
On these he sleeps, and during the incle-
ment weather he thruSts his head and
shoulders into the barrel. Adjacent to his
abode is a pile of old lumber sufficiently
elevated to allow his dogs to crawl under
meath for rest and protection. All this is
surrounded by baskets, barrels, pans, and
boxes, containing decomposing bones, lob
ster shells, fish heads and tails, dead cats
and dogs, grease, and every conceivable
kitchen refuse, swill and garbage fished
out of cutters and so-called ash and gar
bage boxes, all of which mixture, or part
thereof, is stewed or cooked in mixed
state by said Kranchi in the open air, amid
shanty population and when stewed or
cooked is eaten by Kranchi and his nu-
merous dogs. Evidence is not wanting to
prove that he has eaten the dead rats and
cats found on the public highways, and
that he kills his own dogs for their meat as
food when no other nourishment is at hand

find the Richmond association in such a
prosperous condition, and composed of
such efficient members. His remarks were
warmly applauded, and at their conclusion
the German salutation of "Gut HeiP' was
given with will.
In response to.a toast, the Vice President
of the Harmonic Society also made O
speech in German, which was well received
and loudly applauded.
At four o'clock the company sat down 10

tastily arranged under the shade of the

usual amount of toast-drinking and speech
making was indulged in.
Still later in the afternoon the Turner's

thousand persons. At the conclusion OF
this exhibition, sounds of music were again
heard in the large pavilion, which was soon
filed with merry dancers. And thus the
hours sped rapidly away, for

very pleasant entertainment, nothing oc-
curing to mar the festivities.

The Test Oath Question, MIR Fincks
SDeech,

The decision of the United States
Supreme Court upon the Constitu-
tionality of the test-oath act, as it
is commonly called, is awaited with
some anxiety by that learned class
who are accustomed to view polit-
ical questions in their proper sub
ordination to constitutional law
The second argument having been
concluded, and the case being un-
der the advisement of the Court,
we think it now a fitting time to
introduce the leading speech on
the subject in the House of Repre-
sentatives, with which Mr.. Finck
Of Ohio, accompanied the report of
bill to repeal the statute in ques.
ton.
The effort of Mr.. Finck will be
noticed for the absence of unneces
sary amplification and that ledun-
dancy of illustration 81 common on
the floors Of Congress. Well does
he ask, "If the Southern people are
not loyal, how long will it take to
make them loyal in the way Con.

al Mtelhgencer.

The President has issued a proc.

end, and that all the States are re-

for Johnson! This is all right, and
now we may expect general COM
mingling of interests North and
South, a restoration of old social
and commercial ties, that we trust
in God never again will be disturb
ed to our latest posterity. We will
publish the Proclamation next
week.

Fencing Railroads.


There seems to be some confu-
sion of ideas among the people in
regard to the liability of railroad
companies fencing their roads. In
1859, law was passed requiring
any railroad company having their
road in running order, within two
years after the passage of that act,
to fence both sides of their road
Provided, that whenever such rail.
road passed through or along the
boundry of an enclosed field or
fields, the proprietors were requir-
ed to construct one half the fence
necessary; to be enforced in the
same manner as are partition fen.
ces between two or more individu-
al boundrles; so, also, in regard to
cattle guards.
This law the Legislature suspen-
| ded several times, until finally it
took effect and went into force
Marcn Z0Cn, 1860.
All well managed and paving
railroad companies complied with
this act; but others neglected and
refused to comply.
MIR. Bloom, the member from
Rlchland county, introduced into
the House at this session a bill ma,

road company, the same as any
other materials or labor furnished
to the company, and applying the
earnings ofthe road to the pay

law provides that any agent may
be made to answer before the Court

his hands for the company, and au.
thorizes the Court to order its pay.
ment upon such claims as have
been adjudged against the compa.
ny. This bill was finally passed
on Saturday, and is, therefore law,
and includes this item of fencing
built or furnished. 1t provides ali
the legislation necessary to protect
the rights of the farmers that they
could expect. Roads that are re.
.sponsible can be made to pay upon
execution. This law will apply the
earnings Of railroads, even in cases
where the roads and running stock
is all under mortgage, so as not to
be reached by the usual process.

A Glorious Democratic Victory in
Columbus.

The invincible Democracy of the
Capital city of Ohio achieved a
glorious victory on Monday-elect-
ing their Marshal by more than
three hundred majority, over the
Republican Marshal, who was elec-
ted a year ago, and has made him
self exceedingly popular since he
has held the position. We have
elected six out of the nine Council
men; and seven out of ten Asses
sors; as we'll as the entire town
ship ticket. Our majority on town.
ship officers, Justice Of the Peace,
and Councilmen will be more than
one thousand. The result of this
election makes our City Council a
tie--thus far retrieving the disas-
ter of last year. Glory enough for
one day! The Capital City of Ohio
sends greeting, to the President Of
the United States.-tSatesman.

Presidents ProclamatiOns-Pea eace
Officially Proclaimed,
As in order to meet our mails

AS in order to meet our mails we
were obliged TO go to press yester.
day with a portion of the Presi-
dents proclamation omitted, we,
on account of its great importance,
tepublish it, full and complete, in
this mornings Enquirer
The effect of this important doc
ument is to tear up by the roots all
the excuses by which the Radicals
have sought to justify their oppres-
sion of the South, and their denial
to it of its Constitutional rights
The following extract from it clear
ly, by implication, restores the
right of habeas corpus to all parts
of the country. The President
says:
"WEEREAs, Standing armies, mil
itary occupation, martial law, mill
tary tribunals, and suspension Of
the writ Of habeas corpus, are in
time Of peace dangerous to the
public peace and incompatible
with the individual rights of the
citizen, contrary to the genius and
spirit of our free institutions and
exhaustive of the national resour-
ces, and ought not, therefore, be
sanctioned or allowed, except in
case of war, for repelling invaders
or suppressing insurrection or re
bellion."
having proclaimed the insur-
rection at an end and the war over,
of course none of those outrages on
individual liberty can be hereafter
perpetrated under the sanction of
the Executive authority.
The members Of the Southern
States can no longer be kept out of
their seats in Congress. They will
proceed to take them as a matter
of course. Ifexcluded, it will be
by sheer physical violence and
traitorous resistance to the Gov
ernment. We will see if the lead.
ars of the Rump will have the har-
dihood to go on further in the rev.
olution they have thus far origina-
ted and successfully consummated.
A Congress of all the States is
now loudly demanded, and we in
sist that they proceed and take
their seats.

The great issue before the people
10, whether all the powers of Gov
ernment shall be concentrated in
he hands of the General Govern
ment-the States being reduced to
The conditions of counties-and a
consolidated despotism be thereby
established; or, whether those
rights of local selfgovernment
whichour father enjoyeds and which
we inherited from them, and with
out which there can be no real lib
erty, no wise government, no pub
lie economy, no light taxation, shall
be preserved. A powerful faction,
represented by majority in Con-
gress, have conspired to overflow
the free and ben1icent institutions
of our fathers, and to substitute
therefor an Oligarch Of privil-
eyed classes, crushing the mass OF
the people and all individual liber.
ty, under the weight of a despotic
and unrestricted General Govern
ment. To effect this object, they,
in plain violation Of the Constitu-
ton, exclude eleven States from
representation in Congress, and in
sists upon comforting upon negroes
the right to vote-not out Of re-
gard to the negro, but because they
expect to be able with their money
to control his vote, and thereby
perpetuate their party asendency.
Let every man who is opposed to
the schemes Of the conspirators,
who cherishes the institutions
founded by our fathers, who appre-
ciates, the necessity and benefits
Of local self-government, who is op-
posed to seeing the great State Of
