Excessive Swearing.

Hard swearing has been very com
mon III this country since the Yam
KEGS raised such a noise over the
bombardhent of Fort Sumter.
Almost every man in the North was
sworn at least twice upon his alleei-
ance Immediately after Beauregard
opened his guns in Charleston har-
Dor, and men who were suspected of
secession proclivities were sw orn With
every change of the moon. 1t is re-
ported of poor old Gen. Scott that,
fearing his flesh might prove too
| strong for his spirit and the safety of
his salary, he used to take the oath
of fidelity to the Constitution of the
United States every day before din
ner. There was perfect mania
upon the subject Of oaths shortly
after the war broke out, and the ma
MIA has not subsided yet Whenever
Congress meets, the mind Of that
body is seriously exercised upon the
subject of oaths. The old oaths are
brought out, oyerhauled, revamped
and repaired, SO as 70 hold water and
bind the tough consciences of the
Gun reconstructed. If Congress.
men were allowed patents for their
inventions, like mechanics, there are
many who deserve perpetual copy
rights for their inventions in the
science of hard swearing.
Even old Ihad. Stevens has tried
his hand at oath -tinkering. and, in
his bill "to provide republican Go
vernments for the late rebellious
States,' he Incorporates an oath
which searches the heart and con
science Of or <'anreconstructed' as
far back as the lth Of March, 1864
We acknowledge that, when man
is sick, the right sort OF physic will
do kim good, but then we do not
fancy having our drugs compounded
by such quack as old Ihad. We
do not object to q decent iron-clad
oath; indeed, We have thought that
when we have become proficient in
swearing, we might be able to take
one, by extin9uishing our conscience
ana forgetting that men are punished
in the next world for deeds done in
this. But we protest against any
moro new and strange oaths, because
the ingenuity of the radicals is max
ing them eXcruciating, and it will
require dictionary of oaths to keep
the people posted in them This
thing of calling God to witness what
ever Thad. Stevens, or any other
ungodly radical, may choose TO pre-
scribe, is calculated to wear ont the
patience Of humanity and Heaven,
and we have had enough of it. If
the fellows would take their own
oaths, and keep them, we would not
care.-Richn1ond Times.

A FREEDMAN SHOT. On Tuesday,
group of some twenty negroes, who
had assembled opposite the Libby
prison, in Richmond, and making
signs to the prisoners, were fred
upon by Private John Brennan, of
Co. Fl, Goth United States Infantry,
and one Of the party shot and killed.
The guard had received orders to
disperse all assemblages in front of
the building. The negro killed was
named Thomas Winston Hail. He
had served three years in the United
States army. The ball entered from
the left side, and went through his
body. A jury of inquest was sworn,
and they agreed upon verdict as
follows: 'Thc deceased came to his

The Washington correspondent of
the New York Times gives the follow
ing on dts:
From the report of the London
Times of a recent hearing in one of
the cases pending III relation to rebel
property, before Vice Chancellor
Wood, it appears that the recent
newspaper comments in the United
States in relation to the recent settle
ment, do injustice to Mcssrs. Morse
and Gibbs, the officers by whom it
was arranged. The arrangement pro
vided for statement under oath of
all property under the control of
Fraser, Trenholm & Co., and it's
transfer to the United States, sub
ject to legal liens thereon for ad-
vanccs, such liens not to be allowed be-
yond G15G, 900 The whole legal
lien was shown, by the sworn state
ment from the books of the firm
named, to be G270,00O or therea-
bouts. The Chancery suits brought
to recover the property were to be
discontinued. each party paying its
own costs. The property consisted
chiefly Of ships and of other property
of a perishable character which, by
the agreement, was to be at once
sold, and the proceeds, after the dis
charge Of the liens, paid to the United
States. It is stated that after this
settlement, other rebel agents yolun-
tarily came forward and offered to
surrender property, and that all or
| nearly all the rebel effects in Europe
were about to be reduced to the pos
session of the United States, without
suit, when the settlements were sus-
pended by order of Mr.. Seward.
Vice-Chancellor Wood is probably
correct in surmising that some diplo-
matte reasons prevented the closing
Of the arrangement in the form
agreed upon. Judge Redfeld, of
Vermont, has been sent to England
to confer with all parties, and his
report will probably determine the
final action Of the Government. This
arrangement is said to meet with the
hearty concurrence Of all parties.

A DEAD HALT.-The latest intelli-
gence from the political centre of the
nation, says the Richmond Enquirer,
indicates that Congress, during the
remainder of its present session, lit
tie more than month, will be unable
to do more than discuss and deter
mine upon some plan of future ac-
ton. Both Standardization and
impeachment have gone to the wall,
and Stevens, piteously bemoaning
''.the great diversity of opinion
among members of the same party"
has fallen from his hi gh estate of bell
wethcr, and is no longer able, with
fiery tongue, to lash all radicalism
into following his lead.
Mr.. Raymond, with spirit unlike
his own, insists upon action, assert
ing that suspense is ruinous alike to
the North and the South, but the
craftier counsel prevail, and the red
caps determine to give public senti-
ment opportunity and aid for more
Inflammation, before hazarding either
of the desper"t assures necessary
to full seizuro powers of Co
vernment.
