A couple Of radical horses. attached to
rickety wagon, made break from the
square yesterday evening down lst North
Main street After running that street
some distance, they turned and came
back, crossing the square diagonally to
end street South, kicking and tearing
things loose at every jump. They ran Ov-
or Nays new bricko the corner, scatter
ing things promiscuously. They were on
ly.kept from demOlishing the 'sunnyside'
by the almost super human exertions Of the
proprietor, who threw his coat tail over his
head, reversed. his engine, and presented
a new front, which frightened them into

Britain, TrembIe (!

"Among the business OF the FenIan Congress
on Thursday, is said to have been the adoption
of resolutions relating to American citizens in
British prisons; also, the appointment OF co NJ
mittee 10 confer with the Fenian Sisterhood."
What fearful import may be conveyed in
this brief paragraph it is idle to speculate
upon. Great Britain can cope with the male
Fenians; can shoot them down and conquer
them. But when an army of Amazons ap-
proach, who are armed with the two-edged
sword of Scripture, and commence to talk the
veterans down, we do not think that the
'Light Brigade" itself could resist. In having
this conference the Brotherhood have dis
played no small tact. In the first place, the
Sisterhood is by far the most important part
of the organization, for out of the $3.50 a-week
wages which the sisters receive is levied the
contributions which support the Senate. The
men are beginning to grow incredulous, and
do not do the patriotic, so the Sisterhood rises
as the stock Of the Brotherhood falls, and a
conference is the result. AS the cackling OF
geese saved Rome, who can say that the Irish
republic may not thus be rescued Z

Letter from Bishop Lamy.

The safe arrival of the Right Rev. Bishop
Lamy and party, who were falsely represented
already been announced. The following letter,
printed in the CathoLic Telegraph, gives an in.
teresting account of their perilous Journey
SANTA FEE, New Mexico, August l9.-Very
Rev erend Iear Brother: AT last we have
reached Santa Fe. after a tedious, fatlguing,
across the Plains. During the first l5O miles
we had rainy and stormy weather. Then for
200 miles the cholera ragged, from which great
many died in almost every train; in the com
pany with which we travelled ten were carried
off by that dreadful plague.
We had also two attacks from the savages; in
the second attack the fight lasted nearly three
hours; the savages averaged | suppose, about
ing, and shooting at us as they passed at full
gallop. We had in our company nearly one
hundred men, well armed; we were protected
on one side by the Arkansas river, and we had
formed sse With s our 80 Sag9R r OF
and makes good rampant against an enemy.
Though the balls fell like hall on our camp,
som etimes for five minutes at time, yet,
owing to special protection of God,
we had nobody killed; some few wounded,
chiefs, who were carried away by their own
warriors; no doubt many of them must have
very promising young man, who was coming
with us to New Mexico, died OF cholera while
we were fighting with the Indians, on the 22d
died on the 9th of the same month from the
fright, as considered it, caused by the attack
old, well educated, and model of virtue
Thus Almighty God was pleased to
send many trials, but we arrived
on the evening of the 18th instant, and,
though 1t was muddy and raining at the time,
more than 1000 people came to meet us, and
some came eight miles. All our Sisters are we'll.
Those / brought from the States are agreeaby
disappointed TO find here f1ourishing establish
ments with more commodities than they ex-
pected to see with adobe buildings. Adobes are
large mud bricks, sun-dried; they are put in
the wall with mud. Such is the material of our
buildings here.
1 hope the Most Reverend Archbishop will
soon return and in good health.
Your devoted in Christ. Holm r. LAMY,
Bishop OF Santa Fe. N, M.

The proposed Amnesty Proclamation

The ProDOsed Amnesty Proclamation
THERE seems to be little doubt that Mr. Jonn-
son il about to issue proclamation oil am-
uostv 20 all or nearly all the persons con-
oerned in the late Rebellion. Practically, this
will be of very little moment, as there IS not
muob likelihood that any of them would ever
be brought to trial or punishment anyhow.
But as showing Mr. Johnson's determination
TO override the law, and to antagonize himself
against Congress- the matter is of considerable
m oment. Congress, at its last session, repealed
that clause Of the law which specially conferred
upon the President the power to grant am
nesties. Mr.. johnson neither signed the bill
containing the repeal nor vetoed it, but keptit
beyond the time limited by the Constitution,
so that it became a law without his signature.
But it is claimed that, under the Constitution,
the President has the power to grant an am
nesty without any law therefor. This, evil
dently, was not the view of Congress when
the power was conferred by law, nor when that
law was repealed. The President, therefore,
will be assuming a doubtful power, to say the
least.
1t has been suggested that the granting of
nm amnesty by the President would work a
removal of the disability to take part in the
work of reconstruction imposed by Congress
upon certain leaders of the Rebellion. The New
York Herald has urged with considerable per-
sistency the granting of an amnesty on this
very ground. But here, again, we meet an
express provision of law that no pardon or
amnesty granted by the President shall confer
the privilege of suffrage or the holding of Office
upon any person otherwise disqualified. This
is the law, and it is so plain that it cannot be
evaded. 1t can only be openly discarded and
ignored. Perhaps this is what the President
means to do.
Perhaps he has concluded to make no more
pretense of obeying and executing the laws, but
to manage matters according to his own will.
If so, the sooner he demonstrates that fact by
some definite overt act the better. He has
already nullifed the spirit of the laws in
numberless instances, but he has been careful
always to leave a loophole of escape. Now,
however, as he is upon the ''war path" per
haps he will venture on more open acts
Unless something of this kind is in contem.
plation, the issuing of an amnesty proclama
tion will have no more practical significance
than one of Binckley's profound productions

THE UNIVERSITY OF PBNNsYLvANIA.--We are
glad to see that the advice contained in our
article on "Universities," published some
weeks SINCE has received the attention of the
Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania,
and that they have adopted some of the sug-
gestions we ventured to throw out. The sub
ject was one of vast Importance, and ON its
proper consideration depended the useful
ness of our college. If the reforms proposed
are carried into execution then we will see
that Rip Van Winkle shows signs of return
ing consciousness. If the proper English
course is adopted, and all the energies of the
students not directed by cOmpulsion to the
study of Greek roots, there is some chance
for it securing that high place iH the raul1s or
colleges to which its age and high standing
entitle it.

STILL BETTER. II Mr.. McCulloch makes
correction in his statement of the national
debt for September, which decidedly improves
the ASPECT of our balance-sheet. He finds that
instead of having debt of 81, sos, ,456, O95'05,
we have only 50, 492 7S3, 365'O5, or decline of
about thirteen millions more than reported.
AS the original statement showed falling off
of six millions in month"; we have really
diminished our debt about nineteen millions
in August. This is most encouraging ex-
hibit, and far better than we had any reason
to expect 1t is a satisfaction to get below She
two thousand five hundred millions, as here
after we will speak of our debt as within the
two thousand five hundred. If properly
managed, and the laws properly executed, we
will in the course of few years be able to
show such diminution as will encourage our
countrymen, and, still further, amaze the
world.

BACK IN THE RANKs.-The Press, which
few days since endorsed Judge Ludlow and
advocated his reelection to the Bench, declares
itself this morning, in most emphatic leader,
in favor of the Hon. M. Russell Thayer. II
states that Judge Ludlow "has voluntarily
accepted the nomination of a convention whose
coarse and offensive platform is an insult to
the intelligence and loyalty Of this city. He
prefers to receive his judicial honOrs at the
hands of virulent clique rather than from
the people. BY his own act he stands on the
platform and pledged to the record of the
Democratic party as fully as Hester Clymer
did in 1865 or Judge SharswoOd does now. 1t
is record written in innocent blood and a
platform built on treason. The infamous
memories of the Chicago and Harrisburg Con-
ventions forbid that any conscientious Union
man should vote for candidate committed to
the unforgotten record of dislOyal party"
BY this act the phalanx of the Union journals
of Philadelphia is once more made complete,
our afternoon contemporary having already
repented of its ways. Daily we hear of gentle
men who had previously favored Judge Lud-
low returning to the ranks and taking their
places with their old comrades. They can
stand the Judge, but no man with an atom of
loyalty in his com position can stand the COM
| pany in which he finds himself when he sup
ports the Democratic nominee. BY October
| all will have been drawn back.

1HE Rowland WILL CAsE.-One of the most
singular and important will cases ever tried in
New England is soon to come before the United
States Circuit Court in Boston. Sylvia Ann
Howland died on the I'd of July, 1866, leaving
an estate of over two millions of dollars. Seve-
raj bequests were made by her will, amounting
in all to about half of her property. The re-
mainder was to be put into the hands of trus-
tees, who were to pay the whole income thereof
to her niece, Hetty NJ. Robinson, now Mrs.
Greene.
The will was offered for probate on the 4th of
August, 1866, when it was contested by the
heir'at-law, Mrs. Greene, but, after one post
ponement and hearing, it was admitted.
Mrs. Greene thereupon filed an appeal on the
ground that the testatrix, at the time of max.
ing the will, was incompetent and unduly intiu-
enced. This appeal was afterwards withdrawn,
and the decision of the Probate Judge affirmed.
The executor was then informed that the
contestant would claim the whole estate,
on the ground OF a contract made with her,
and accordingly Mrs. Greene fled a bill in
equity with the clerk of the United States
Circuit Court IN Boston. This bill sets out
that in 1862, IN accordance with written
agreement, she and her aunt made mutual wills;
that these wills were exchanged; that by the
terms of the agreement no subsequent will by
either, without due notice to the other, would
be binding; that no such notice was given to the
contestant; and that, therefore, the will made
by the decedent pursuant to said agreement is
the only valid testament. The answer denies
all the allegations in the bill
For year past the parties have been taking
testimony, which fills printed volume of over
thousand pages. The most eminent counsel OF
Boston and New Bedford have been engaged,
and the lltigants have abundant means to pro-
tract the sult. The social position of the con-
testants, the amount involved, and the singular
claim made by MIS-. Greene, combine to make
this case one of the most interesting ever tried
in this country.

COSTLY oBsrrNAcY.-There are two men in
prison in England whose fate it has been TO
illustrate the nature Of lawyers bills on mag
nihcent scale. P. Foster, a farmer, now lies
in Taunton Jail for non-payment of a church
rate amounting to the sum of 15s. 73d. But
the costs of the law proceedings by which he
was condemned amount to 6147 les. Gid;
J. b. Grant is immured in whiteoross Street

MARRIED SoLDIERs.-An order from the Bri-
tish War Office has been recently issued limit
ing the number of soldiers who are to receive
permission to marry to seven per cent. of the
whole establishment of corps, and further
requiring that no man shall obtain such per-
mission who is not in possession of good
conduct badge. At the same time, the privi-
leges of married soldiers are greatly increased.

AN ANCIENT FoREsT.-In the course of exca-
vations at Hull, England, the navvies have
come upon stratum of dark soil, in which
number of trees in horizontal position were
met with. They are oak, in excellent condi
tion, and remarkably hard Besides these
interesting remains of long past age, large
number OF acorns and hazel-nuts were found
and some oyster and mussel shells. The dis
covery is more interesting to geologists, as the
trees were found at depth of about nineteen
feet below the water line of the river.

selected better man, for, combined with fine
intellect, he has large experience, and is,
beyond doubt, an honest man.

NEEDLEs.-Needles were first made in London
by a negro from Spain, in the reign of Queen
Mary. He died without imparting the secret
OF his art. The art was recovered in 1865.
Elias drowse first taught the English to make
needles, but the art was again lost for nearly
century, when it was again recovered by
christopher Greening who settled at Long
Crendon, in Buckinghamshire. Needles are
now chiefly made at Redditch, in Worcester
SHIRE Hathersage, in Derbyshire and in and
near Birmingham.
