Andrew Johnson gets some hard hits
from his copperhead friends, but seems to
take them as quietly as a mouse in trap.
Thus on the 8th January, Johnson was
present at a copperhead banquet at Wash
ington, when jeremiah Black said, among
other things, that the Supreme Court
Needed no defense from him. That
Court had decided against the legality of
military commissions, which had con-
demned to death three perfectly innocent
men, because no human being up to this
time had shown that they were guilty
These three men were arrested and brought
before body who were in no manner
authorized to NEEDLE with these affairs,
and which mOckery was called a trial.
The Court said in effect, that if the eXecu-
tlon OF these three men had taken place
NWould have been MURDER
After President Lincoln's assassination,
will be remembered Johnson tried Mrs.
Surratt and others by military commits
sion and hung them, thus according to
jeremiah Black charging Johnson with
murder to his face.

REHABILITATION.

Cameron's majority over all candidates
eleven.
Senators BHlingfelt and Fisher, both
from Lancaster county, declined to vote,
as they were instructed for Mr.. Stevens.
After the announcement of the vote
Representative Quay, an ardent supporter
Of Gov. Curtin, moved that the nomina-
ton Of Gen. Simon Cameron be made
unanimous, and every member in favor
Of that question be requested To stand up.
The gentlemen present rose at once to
their feet, and the nomination of Simon
Cameron was made unanimous.
Had another ballot been necessary,
Gen. Cameron probably would have re-
ceiyed at least go votes. We were nOtsur
prsed at the result. The injudicious
course pursued towards him by those
friendly to the opposing candidates not
only brought out his warm personal friends
and Of these it is nonsense to say other
wise than he has them by hundreds and
th0usands-but induced many others to
take an active part, who, under other cir
eImstances, might have remained neu-
trail. Senators and members of the House,
also, long before the day Of meeting, AMI
before some of them had even expressed
any decided partiality, were met with
charges of corruption and bribery in such
3 manner as to make it appear that no
man could support Gen. Cameron with
out being bribed, while all others were
held pure and above suspicion! Such as
PERSONS were not calculated to make
friends among well-meaning men who,
with one breath were told they We're hon
est and in the next denounced Us corrupt,
and they accordingly took decided ground
and then by resolution invited these
knowing gentlemen to come forward with
their testimony and substantiate what
they alleged. Names as witnesses were
handed ir on all sides, bat it appeared
when those who knciO everything on the
street, and in bar-rooms were examined
under oath, not even a shadow of suspi-
cion could be proved-in short, as a mem
ber Of the committee stated, not even inn
prudent conduct could be alleged against
any candidate.

Shooting ABrdY.-The people of Miles

day evening last, by an affair, which we
hope viii not be OF frequent occurrence.
VIM. Cooke, young merchant of that
place, was it seems spending the evening
with some female friends, when six of his
neighbors, with faces blackemed and 9th
erwise disguised, entered the house. and
seized him, with the intention it is said,
OF dudking him in the canal. In his at
tempt To free himself he shot three of the
men more or less severely. One who w s
shot in the head and neck it was thOugi t
for Il time would not recover. twill eel
tainly be a sad thing If death should en-
sue, and ut all events will serve as an in
timation OF what can be expected by men
who undertake the moral reformation of
their communities, and in furtherance of
their object, resort To illegal and fOrciblc
means. y warrant was issued on Tues
day for their arrest, and it is probable that
some startling developments VIII be made
on the trial of the case. The several acts
OF Congress, touching the matter of pen
siOnS, make no provision for their cases
Still they may find some consolation in
the thought that their wounds were re-
ceived while i'll the discharge of What
they conceived to be their duty. We are
