PHILADELPHIA, April 11.-Christopher Deer
ing, wife, niece and four children, an entire
family of seven persons, were found MUIR
dered this evening, at their late residence
here, on the suburbs. The horrible crime is
supposed to have been perpetrated on Satur-
day, by German laborer on the farm, and a
boy, for plumber The bodies of Deering and
wife and niece were found in the barn cover
ed with straw, and the others in corn-crib
One of the victims was baby ten months

a horrible appearance, having been mutilated
with knife and axe. Only one Of the family
survives, child aged ten years, who is on a

age. The niece, Miss Heating, was 49, The

occurrence has produced quite sensation in

THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.

We observe in the discussion of the press
the provisions of the Civil Rights
Bill-now law, in consequence of its pas
sage over the veto, by vote of each House
of northumberland especially concerning the
manner in which the objections made by the
President may operate to his embarrassment
as the Executive, some loosenoss of appre-
hension that ought to be corrected.
This is the view taken by the National IN
tedlgencer Of the tone of the Southern Press,
and we think the hatelligencer right in placing
the President fair and square on this question
at the outset.
The following are the positions held by the
h1telhgencer as to the general scope of the
Bill spoken of:
l. Objections to bill are not to be taken
to imply that the evils which are possibly, or
even probably, incident to its practical work
ing are inevitably to happen. For example,
it is very becoming objection from the Exc
cutive that a proposed law lodges in his
hands dangerous power. The very proffer
of the objection is good assurance, when the
measure has actually gone into effect, that
Sucn an evil Is not to happen.
2. If, in the opinion Of the President pro-
posed measure contains unconstitutional pro-
visions, and they nevertheless go upon the
statute book, it is not obligatory upon him,
at the risk of qualification, to refuse in ad-
vance of occasion to execute them. The in
depreciation of statutes come after their en-
actment, and arises upon actual instances, in
whatever form circumstances offer them
Such instances may never arise as shall re-
quire the decision. When they do it should
be made upon all the lights accessible, and
upon an official responsibility as little re-
stricted as the Constitution will allow
3. When competent authority has de-
clared any particular provision of a statute
void by reason of unconstitutionality, such a
decision does not void the whole law, nor any
other part Of it than that which was concerned
in the case passed upon. 1t is true that the
several provisions in most laws are so inter-
dependent one upon the other, that there is
generally somewhere in the statute one which,
| if found to fall renders virtually null all the
others. But this is not always the case An
ordinance, for example, may establish fire
department and repeal all previous laws on
the subject. 1t may also provide religious
test for membership The latter provision
would be void but that would not affect the
remainder of the statute.
a. tits common to speak of bill in Con-
| gress as unconstitutional-unfo too
commonly justifable opinion. The word is
to be understood as applied, not actually to
the several provisions and sanctions of the
bill, but to some Of them only; that particular
one, perhaps, whatever it be, for the sake of
which the bill is supposed to have been brought
/ forward In this view if is not incorrect to
speak Of bill or law as q unconstitutional
though some careessness of speech on these
subjects has led to popular misapprehension,
which, at such times as the present, goes to
swell the popular agitation.

R9 The question has been settled The
great Head Centre has spoke hence, let all
the tail centres give ear, and proclaim lis
ten Judge Underwood has decided II
That the Presidents proclamation does not
restore the writ of habeas corpus
If any man knows that the Presidents pro-
clamation does not restore the writ of habeas
corpus-Judge Underwood knows that the
Presidents proclamation does not restore the
writ of habeas corpus
Captain Cutie is no where! President
johnson is nowhere Judge Underwood is
everywhere! for he has decided tie fate of the
writ
Thomas Garvin was imprisoned some time
ago by the Provost Court under the Freed
mems Bureau law, at Alexandria, Va, and his
counsel sued out an application for a wit of
habeas corpus, under the superstition that the
Presidents proclamation restored that writ
The case came up in the United States Dis
trict Court, at Alexandria, on Tuesday last
The case was argued before Judge Underwood
who decided that the proclamation did not re-
store the writ.
We opine that the Judge is So enamorei OF
his pet, military rule, that if it depended on
his decisions the writ of habeas corpus never
would be restored.

HOW FRIGHTFUL ARE SHADOWS.

1t appears that the Chicago Tribune is not
alone in It's fright about Gen. Grant leaving
for Europe.
The Detroit Post, Senator Chambers new
home organ, joins in the entreaty that Genl.
Grant shall not leave the country. 1t insin-
yates that the President contemplates the en-
ployment of military force to dispense Con-
gress, and uses this language:
"The country knows also that General
Grant will never permit himself to be made a
tool Of in an unlawful and sinister enterprise.
1t may be difficult to find an instrument for a
revolutionary act among the other chiefs of
the army, but none of them enjoys the conf
dence of the people in such degree as the
Lieutenant General. If he leaves it, the peo-
pie may, at some moment of excitement, Jump
at the conclusion that they themselves have to
provide for the safety of Congress"
