COMPLICATION reasons given by
Chief Justice Chase fo- ordering the re-
vision OF one of Judge Underwood's con-
fiscations indicate that those confsca.
tions generally will be reversed aud an
nulled, And so must hundreds of other
cases in the South, for the same reasons,
the constitutional provisions in the case,
that trial and conviction must precede
conflscation, and that only a life interest
In the property can be sold, having been
ignored or detled Besides, this revela-
tion OF what is essential to legal confs-
cation, and of the small results OF such
contiscation when II does take place,
will show the impossibility of any such
general confscation as Thad Stevens
proposes and the misguided freedmen
expect, 1t is true that Mr.. Stevens
thinks the constitution can be annulled
by act of Congress, and that au eX-p0st
facto law can be made to conhscate pro-
perty absolutely and without determin-
ing in advance the guilt of the parties
thus mulcted. But the decision OF Judge
Chase in the Underwood matter shows
that the Supreme Court still believes in
the vitality of the constitution and in
their duty to adhere to it. And nothing
is clearer than that under the consttu-
tion there can be no conhscaton which
will pay expenses. New penalties can
not be enacted for crimes already COM
mitted, and nothing more than a life in
terest in property can be confsca;ed
without square violation of the con-
stitution. Why, then, should the coun-
try be agitated and the freedmen deceiv-
ed to their injury about measure that is
clearly impossible, and would be a mon.
strous wrong If it we're possible?-Spri'g-

THE CHINGARORA
l. ANTI-NERVoUs
s nj OKIN G TOBACCO!

The CHINGARORA TOBACCO grows nom
the rich soil OF the "Orient, and Is possessed
OF peculiarly delicious flavor entirely unknown
TO the toOaeoos OF all other climes, But its un-
Precsdented popularity has sprung from the
iact OF the entire absence of that deadly poison,
N'C0ttn, which permeates every other tobacco,
and which is the one and sole cause of the dis
tresslng nervous diseases, dyspepsia, sc,
when most invariably, sooner or later, follow
the Indulgence OF the pipe and cigar. At the
recent analyzati0n Of tobacco from all parts OF
the world, at the Academy of Sciences, In Paris,
the renowned chemist, NJ, LamOureaux deClar-
ed that while European and American tobacco
contained fully eight per cent, and the purest
havana tobacco irOm two to five per cent of
Nic0tin, the Chingarora did not contain one dis
coYerabe particle OF that deadly poison, drop
CT which, extracted, will destroy life
Our agent At Bombay has shipped us large
quantities oil the Chingarora during the past two
years, and although we have been pressed to
supply the demand for this delicious luxury to
the veteran smoker, yet we are now prepared
to offer 1t In unlimited quantities, at a price
much lower than some American tobacco Of a
far inferior quality.
A connoiseur has but to smoke the American
tobacco and cigars, which are invariably chem
ically Favored, to be disguised with the medi-
cinal taste which leaves a nauseOus, unhealthy
coating in the mouth, and in time seldom fails
to shatter the nervous system.
The natives of the "0rient" smoke the Chin
garora from morn to night, from youth to age,
and are happily unconscious of the wild, dis
tressing fire which courses through the veins of
the inhaler Of the fumes of tobacco containing
NiCOtin.
Weinyite every lover of the weed to try the
Chingarora, and guarantee unprecedented
pleasure in its delicious flavor.

A MIDNIGHT COUNCIL OF WAR.-One
OF the best of the hitherto untold sto-
ries of the war, and now told most
effectively. is the following sketch of
the midnight council o. Gen. Grant
and his corps commanders, after the
close of the first days fighting in the
Wilderness -
The result OF the fierce conflict had
been adverse to the army of the United
States. Gen. Lee had flung one wing
o. his army between our forces and the
base OF their supplies, which would re-
quire another battle to regain them.
Each division and corps commander
knew this sad condition of affairs. They
were all summoned to a council of war,
TO be held at the headquarters at o'clock
at night. They were the saddest steps
ever taken by that band of devoted
hearts Fifteen thousand brave soldiers,
dead or dying, or wounded, were lying
on the field hard by. One after another
entered, and after making a noisless
salute silently took their seats. Gems.
SChofield, Meade, Burnside, Sickles,
Howard and others, believe, were there.
Not a word was spoken. A full half
hour thus passed by. Their emotions
were too deep for utterance. Hopes of
millions hung on the decision of that
council,
At length Gen. Grant asked each one
in succession if they had any advice to
proffer, Each one answered with sad
monosylable, no! The commander then
wroteIa few lines, aud handed the slip
TO Gen. Meade, and he retired. This
was repeated until all were gone, and
the general was left alone One of the
staff of division commander who was
sick, was the last to retire, and he is au-
thority for the above. All were ignor-
ant of each others order. They felt as
sured that retreat had been directed.
Any other alternative wOnld have been
believed to be madness. Had they
known that the order had been given to
advance, instant aud universal mutiny
would have been raised. That eloquent
silence for which he has ever been noted
was the key to his success there. The
next morning each corps moved, and
Gen. Lee, the instant he perceived it, ex-
claimed with vehemence "0ur enemy
nave leader at last, and our cause is
lost !" He had bid his officers the night
before to let their soldiers sleep long.
But now he saw the army whom he
thought utterly defeated, moving round
between him and his base of supplies.
He fastened to begin retracing his
course, and confessed to an artillery Of
fcer of the confederate army that the
doom of their cause was sealed.

Political Notes.

The reporters OF the Tribune, Times
and Post are excluded from the meet
ings of the eight hour men in Chicago,
because they do not report proceedings
to suit the workingmen.
In the recent parliamentary debate
on kenianism, an English lord made the
remark that high treason seems to be
the safest amusement which a man can
allow himself" The remark will an
swer very well for this side of the wa
ter.
"A Washington correspondent says
Judge Sharkey, of Mississippi, expresses
himself as being disguised with many
prominent public men of the South for
yielding so readily as they have to the
requirements Of Congress, WHEEL quiet
and firm opposition would have pro.
duced a reaction in the North and in
duced a repeal of the Military Recon
struction law.
The New Orleans PiCayune says that
Juarez was the sen of poor parents, Zap
otek Indians, and was early brought by
them to the capital Of his State and put
out to service with wealthy family
The young lad showed so much ability
and energy that his patron Don Jose
Hernandez, sent him to a college and
then to the National Institute, wherein,
on his graduation, he was chosen pro-
lessor of jurisprudence.
-" Hancock has returned to his quar-
tiers at Fort Leavenworth, and, after an
enormous expense to the government,
has destroyed one Indian camp of a
peaceabe and friendly tribe of Indians.
The Indians that were to be annihilated
have been too well informed of the
movements of the troops to be found in
any camp, or near any military post,
while the expedition was on its way to
their suspected whereabouts, and the re-
suit has been the issuing Of an order de-
claring war upon people that cannot
be found to make war upon"

SPEAKING Our IN KIRK.-A minister
IN preaching upon the story of Jonah
uttered piece of declamatory rhetoric to
something like the following effect: "And
what sort of a fish was it, my brethren,
that God had appointed thus to execute
his holy will ? Was it shark, nv
brethren No, it could not be shark
for God could never have ventured the per-
son of his beloved prophet among the
deadly teeth Of that ravenous fish. What
fish was 1t, then, my brethren? Was it
a salmon, think ye? All, no that were
too narrow lodging. There's no ae sal
mon I the deepest pule O. a. Tweed could
swallow a man. Besides, We ken, it's
MAR natural for men to swallow salmon.
than for salmon to swallow men. What.
then, was it? Was it a sea lion, or a
sea horse, or sea dog, or the great rhi-
noceros Oh, no, these are not Scripter
beasts ava. Ye're as far aft AS ever
Which OF the monsters of the great deem
was it, can We tell me 2" Here an old
specialized dame, who had an eleemosyp-
airy seat on the pulpit stairs, thinking that
the minister was in a real perplexity about
the name of the fish, interrupted him with,
"HOot, sir, 1t was a whale, ys ken"
"out upon you, you grsceless wife that
you are" cried the orator, SO enraged as
almost to fly out of the pulpi. at her,
thus to take the word out Of the mouth

He's rapping at the door
Too well know the bodlns SOUND
That usheTs In bore,
do not tremble when l meet
The stoutest OF my foes;
But Heaven defend me from the friend
Who comes but never goes
He drops into my easy chair,
And asks about the news;
.'e peeps into my manuscript,
And gives his candid views;
H. tells where he likes the line,
And where he's forced to grieye;
He 'akes the stTangest liberties
Il never takes his leave.
He reads my daily paper through
Before I've seen word;
He scans the lyric that wrotel
And thinks II quite absurd;
He calmly smokes my last cigar,
And coolly asks for more
He opens everything he sees
Except the entry door.
He talks about his fragile health
And tells me OF the pains
He suffers from score of ills,
OF which he ne'er complains;
ANA now ne struggled once with earth
To keep the tlend at bay;
On themes like these away he goes
But never goes away
lie tells me Of the carping words
Some shallow critic wrote,
And every precious paragraph
Familisrly can quote.
He thinks the writer did me wrong,
He'd like TO run him through
He says thousand pleasant things
But never says 'adieu ,'
Wheneer he comes-that dreadfal man
Disguise it as | may,
/ know that, like an autumn rain,
He'll last throughout the day.
In vain speak of urgent tasks,
In vain scowl and pout;
A frowH is no extinguisher-
1t does not put him out
mean to take the knocker of,
Put Grape upon the door;
Or hint to John tnat am gone
To stay month or more.

The stoutest of my foes;
But Heaven defend me from the friend

GERMAN FESTIVAL the great

Boston Post says:
"This sort of celebration is one of
the sound, hearty and sensible GUS
toms which the Germans have trans
planted from the Fatherland to this
country, and for which we should be
thankful. AS q class, the amuse-
ments of the Germans are innocent
and profitable, and none more Sc
than this national singing festival,
which we should like to sec grow up
into an established American institu-
ton. In.Germany, music is the birth
right of the people; here, it is an ac-
complishment, often an abomination.
The Saengerbunds have sung Ger
many almost into a realization of
that ideal unity of which they dream,
and the Saengerfest has unifying
political influence as well rs plea
SAINT social effect. Let us see what it
will do for us in this country"
