4 REBELIoUs SPlsIr,-The following re-
marks were made by Mr.. Saulsbdry when the
Civil Rights Bill was under discussion
Now, Mr.. President, am very free to say
that if 1 were a judge in any State, should
not feel yseli bound TO pay any attention
whatever 10 this act because do not be
lieve the Congress OF The United States has
the constitutional authority to pass the act.
Suppose Judge of State court should noa-
estly be ct that opinion, and suppose some
Secretary Of War, or some Secretary OF State
or the agent of some Secretary of State, has
caused citizen within the limits of one o.
the States to be arrested and application Is to
be made to the State courts for redress, not
with standing the provisions of this act, ane
shall noit' tly 30 decide, your act proposes to
punish tLsm in damages for the exercise OF an
honest Judicial opinion"
This s very singular doctrine. The judge
10 bound to enforce the law until it is de.
cl4red 10 be unconstitutional. II he refuses @
do SO, he Is perjurer. When a man Ia con
vlcted he can take an appeal, and then the
constIlutionality OF the law, may be deter
mined by the proper tribunal. Any one who
attempts to set it aside or disregard 1t until
this is done, indicates rebellious spirit and is
not q good citizen. A disregard Of law ID one
OF the gres, evils OF the times and the Senator
who inculcates such doctrine deserves to be
severely rebuked. Whea the Supreme Court
sdludges law to be constita tionsl the subor-
dictate judge would be compelled to enforce il
or abdcate his seat on the bench. obnoxiout
laws must be enforced where offenders are ar
rested, until a change can be effected in {
legitimate way. II the friends OF the statute
should be in the majority in the Legislature
tie minority must submit or attempt revolu
ton, as the friends Of Senator salisbury did
few years ago. When men learn to inculcat
sound doctrines it will be better for the cour
try.

Rs .roaArioN.-The idea oil admitting quon'
dom febels to seats in Congress-, must be re-
pupuant to every truly loyal man. BY the
Presidents plan of restoraton 'er' ID ho
provision to keep them out. Any q inc men
who withdrew f ON Congress, at the beHinning
of the rebellion, may be elected, ana uemano
their old seats. For such villains there should
be punishment and not reward. Peuurers,
thieves and traitors should not be trusted
We fear they would commit simiiir Crimes
whenever a reasonable prospect oil success
sbould offer. The old feelings still rankle IN
their hearts, 10 other words they were outnum =
bered On the battle field and not conquered =
The legislation OF the country, SHOULD not os
placed under the control Of such men. VIC
are in favor OF restoration, but we " ish som'
guarantee that only truly loyai men will o'
elected to Congress. The couduct OF the PEG
pie III the several States does not indicate the
right disposition or temper. They are too full
of haired Of loyalty. only Il ok of ability
prevents them communicating the fell pnr-
pose they failed to accomplish. We are ready
to treat them kindly in order 10 stimulate
lect them for lawgiTers.
II they were to be forever in tie minority
we should be less careful but we fear
that through the aid of Northern men witt
Southern feelings, they would soon conslitut
the majority. Thus far they have not Dee
magnauimous TO thos who have been place
within their pawer, and we fear that service
rendered to tie government would be made
pre,ext tor exclusion from places OF honor an
profit. When the people of the Souther
States manifest a truly peui.ent and loyal dis
position, 1t W i'll be time enough 10 restor
,hsm to the privileges which they so wickt di
forfeited. The men who withdrew from sea
ia Congress, and from the army and navy al
those WHO stimulated rebellion, shoeld be {
c!uded by State enactment from al! offices
houor and profit, and when this is done the
will be reason TO believe that they intend to d
in good faith toward the government and

Alas, our lnmb Is gone; in the stiffness OF
death she 10 sleeping in tho tOmp she Is laid,
the loved little lamb; and around her the an
gels of heaven are keeping holy watches OF
safety which nOught can Destroy let her sleep
the sweet cherub on God is reclining immor-
tality's glory Illuminated her wa, aud though
parents and frieudssr in sorrow repining, her
sweet soul is at rest with its Maker to day
| Like a hourshing plaAt in the gar en- OF M
| lure, she came forth in the beauty and vigor of
OF life; full Of hope tull OF p! omise, the Seet
little creature seemed app )in'ed 10 battle with
| time and it's strife. But alas like a bud W en-
the storm king 10 raging sue was crush ed
Before time had developed ner Path, death in
| its fury, keen, free aud uuass iiling, bore
away the sweet innocent pet in its wrath
Let her sleep; she has entered the star be
decked portal where TIE angels will Ia he her
10 glory and love, where the blessed in Jesus
| are rendered immortal and rejoice around the
| throne of Jehovah above. When the trumpet
| sball sound at the great resurrection, when
the grave shall set free all lis prisoners, the
dead, we will see little Annie consoling re-
Election, in the courts OF the Lambs with the
life crown on her bead o, how joylullY there
at the footstool of heaven, will the lost one on
earth in bright glory appear, never more from
the presence OF Christ to be riven,-never
more to be pressed with sigh or a tear. She
has suffered the pains Of her earthly proba-
ton, she has walked through the valley of
darkness aud night, and she beckons US on
through the path OF salvation, TO her no me

Fold her little hands gently
Upon her snow white breast,
Kiss her darling lips so WHITE
Our baby's gone TO rest.
Angels around the starry throne
Envied what was given
Infant hearts caught the tune
And took our babe 10 heaven.
Our pet was given to MS
With us while to stay
little snow white angel came
Aud took her far away.
The wind is gently blowing,
Der our darlings bed,
But upon her Saviout's bosom,
Now reefs our Aunie's head.
Should W. not then forego all our SORROWS
anguish,
And prepare for that heaven afsr in the skiei
Where the traveller can never grow weary ant
and languish.
Where love is unbroken and bliss never dies
