SUPREME JUDeE.-The record ofMr
Stansburry, who has been appointed
Judge Of the Supreme Court by Pres
ident Johnson, is not very satisfactory
to the Negro bureauists. The Albany
Journal says;
"At the beginning OF the war, he
made an elaborate speech at a public
meeting in Cincinnati, denying the
right OF the Government TO resort to
coercion. He was opposed to the
draft and to the suspension Of the
habcaS corpus. When Sherman made
his treaty with Johnston, he conten.
ded that the war was at an end, State
Governments restored, and all the
rights of the Southern people resumed,
as before the Rebellion. The same
ideas color the conclusions of the veto
message on the Civil Rights bill"
According to our way of thinking
he would make a first rate Judge, and
ought to be confirmed by the Rump
Senate without hesitation.

tor, with such pickings as mileage,
stationery, franking public documents,
seeds from the Agricultural Bureau,
and pots of plants by the box.full from
the National Botanic Garden, but
"my country" goes far towards sup
porting all the other members of
.Clarke's family. His son, youth of
eighteen, is doorkeeper of the report
er's gallery in the Senate, and for that
nominal service Clarkc's boy receives
one hundred dollars a month-a round
twelve hundred for the year-for sup
posed services when he is at school in
New Hampshire. Clarkc's nephew
another youth of tender ycars-is
clerk of the Committee Of CLAIMS of
which Clarke is chairman, at salary
of fifteen hundred dollars per year.

A Loyal Discovery

The dis-unionists in the Rump Con
grcss, have been laboring zealously
for some time, to defeat the recon.
struction policy ofPresidcnt Johnson.
On inst "Wednesday the Senate int, as
they supposed, upon grand scheme,
by which they would succeed. When
tho Post Office Appropriation till
came up, section was inserted,
prohibiting the Treasury Department
from paying any Post Master, appoint
ed by tho President, until after the
appointment was confirmed by the
Rump Senate. Thus virtually com
pelling the Presidents appointees to
work without pay. 1t passed with
only FIVE dissenting opposition senators
and was at once hurried to the House
TO have it passed there. But the next
morning, to the amazement of "IIcad
Centre" Sumner, Mr.. Poland, one of
the new senator's fiom Vermont, made
motion, which was carried, ordering
the Secretary of the Senate 10 recall
from the House the bill IN question.
Mr.. Sumner, at once inquired what
this wriggling was about.
"Mr. Poland said he wished to move
reconsideration of the amendment
in relation to tho Presidents appoint
ing power He looked upon the amend
mont put upon that bill as unconslitu.
tional and revolutionary. Congress
might as well refuse to appropriate
money to pay the salary of the Prcsi-
dent as refuse to pay the salaries Of
officers appointed by the President"
1t is well enough that there is some
one in that body, belonging to the op-
position in whom there is some hon
esty of purpose. The conduct of grave
Senators, as betrayed in reference to
this bill, ,ifthcre were no other grounds,
shows that, that heretofore wise and
dignihed body, ID really controlled by
fanticism, rather than reason, and
that the Legislative halls of tho nation,
are filed by men designated by the
President as "traitors," men who re-
sort to the low cunning devices of
tho hcartlcss dcmagoguc, IN order to
destroy, or change the form Of our
Government.

find the foregoing popular phrase, in
every opposition newspaper we pick
mp. These words arc full of meaning,

are tho rankcst nonsense. While
they are following themselves hoarsc

they only mean it for three millions

BAD TREATMENT FOR A CONGRESS
MAN.-The Pittsburg Gazette says: A
few months ago Mr. g. V. Culver was
a universal favorite in the district in
which lie lived. Now hc has fallen
into such disestcem that on Monday
he was arrested ut Rcno, for conspir-
acy to defraud, The complainants are
Thomas Hogc, p. II. Gray and John
Dufficld, of Franklin. Mr.. Culver was
held to bailin the sum ofS60, 900, which
he procured.
MIR. Austin, the cashier of the We
mango bank, was arrested on similar
charges, and gave bail in the sum Of
$50, 900.
The citizens of Franklin have suffered
more severely than those of any other
locality by the failure. The following
named persons arc the principal losers:
James S. Myers, SCI. 900, Richard
irwin, 10000, l.. ID. Rodgers, 10000
John Dufiicld, 10000, John Rynd, i0O.-
600, n. r. Bushnell, 10000, Thomas
Hoge, $4,000. Here are seven persons
whose losses approximate 100000.
The aggregate losses of the people at
Franklin are probably double that
amount.
