RA- Cowan has been nominated for
Minister to Austria, but will no doubt be
rejected. The Legislature of this State
protests against his confirmation.
BA. Disturbances are said to have bro
ken out among the blacks in South Caro-
lima, caused by attempts to drive them
from homes in which the government had
placed them.
Bsy| The house of EnOs Harman in
MusSer's valley took fire about two weeks
ago and was totally consumed with most
of its contents. The fire originated from
the tlue.
ne@p One of JohnsOn's organs at Wash
ington, edited by bloated rebel, threat
ems to arm the Presidents friends North
and South, to put down Congress, and
also to call in the aid of the Army and
Navy. Andrew Johnson might find
friends in the South for such scheme,
but we doubt whether even Northern cop
perheads excepting the cowboys would
relish such a programme, for to destroy
Congress is to destroy this government,
and substitute a usurper for the Legislative
power, who may declare himself King,
Dictator, Emperor, or anything else.
DEATH IN \ BALL ROOM-A Horrible
place to Die ia.-On New Years eve, Miss
Kate Hofmcister, daughter Of widow
lady residing in Boonville, Mo, died sud
denly at a party given by the Turner's
Society, at the Thespian Hall, at that
place. About IL o'clock at night, and
while on the floor waltzing, she suddenly
threw up her hands and fell, but was
caught before striking the floor. At first
it was thought amid the confusion that
ensued, that she had only tainted. Res
toratives We're at once applied, but before
she could be taken home she was discOv-
cred to be dead Miss Ii. was about

Progress of Treason.

Since the decisions of the Supreme Court
by majority of one that our government
must conduct 10Qr according. to Deace
JaVS, and thus leave rebels and conspira-
tors carry out their views until all power
to check them will be lost, and that n re-
bel cannot be subject to test oath. IoyaI
men are beginning to pause and wonder
what new idea will next be advocated and
adjudicated by men who seemingly con-
slider treason too great a crime to be pun
ished at ALL or else no crime whatever.-
Under these teachings the rebel element
is daily becoming bolder, and no one need
be much surprised to see another rebel
lion spring up before or shortly after the
next Presidential election. AS prelude
to such a state of affairs, the rebel papers
are moulding public sentiment south pre-
cisely as they did before 1861. That our
readers may see we are not exaggerating,
nor setting down aught in malice, we
quote the following from the Richmond
Times of the llth January, which. sneak
ing of the next Governor of Virginia
says:
We want no man for that office of
doubtful or lukewarm devotion to that
cause Orer the toss Of lOhicb euea on. aCO-
men are StW 1ceepjHg. We want no sue
cessOr 10 PierpOnt who was not with us

erty. We shall not canOniZe HyDOcrisv
rs the tutelar divinity of the balI0t-boX at
thespriAg elections, by electing men who
werein sympathy with the Federals when
our Confederate soldiers were CHASING
them from Bull Run and the Wilderness,
1.-The great popular heart Of Virginia
throbs at this moment III profound SYM
pathy for the d" heroes Of the war; This
sentiment intensifies, grows stronger. and
glOWs with increasing warmth with each
attempt of an ungenerOus foe to Ostrac.se
and punish the Confederate warriors who.
for four years, performed such miracles of
valor upon our soil. Even if these popu-
lar idols were not, i'll education, eXucu-
tive and Legislative experience, the peers
Of the most distinguished civilians in the
State, yet their years of exposure to death
the daily privatiOns, faithful vigils along
the lines, tOrtitude, endurance, and sDiend-
id ValOr give them Il place in the affections
OF our people which no civilian can ven
ture successfully to dispute"
The men who utter these rebclIious SEN
timents and sneers at our gallant soldiers
are welcome visitors at the White House,
and how a President can counsel with
them, or brook their insolence, almost
surpasses belief.

Inmates Of Poor Erousas.

Judge Stowe, of the Allegheny Quarter
Sessions, lately had before him three pc
tltions from the Directors of the County
Home, setting forth that certain parties
therein named had become charges upon
the county, and that certain other parties.
children and grandchildren of the indi-
gent persons, were amply able to MAIN
tain them comfortably for the future, and
to refund to the county such sums ofmoo-
ey as had already been expended for their
support. In every case the Court fixed
the amount of compensation which was
to be assessed upon the children and grand
children.
The principle of law settled in these
cases, says the Pittsburg Commercial. is
very important one, and is this: That
the father, or mother, if able, is bound to
support his or her children or grand-chiI-
dreni and prevent them becoming n acharre
upon the public-and the like duty legal
~ devolves upon the children or grand
children of aged, infirm or INDECENT ma
rents or grandparents. If the parties
neglect so TO do, the Poor Directors cap
apply to the Judges of the Quarter Sos.
slons, and if the ability of the parties is
established, compel repayment of who+-
ever public money has been extended
and a sufficient sum per week for the f,.
ture maintenance of the party.

Gone to Rome.-One secular paper of
HagerstOwn, Md, recently announced
that the Rev. Andrew Stewart and wife
had been received into the Roman Catho-
lie Church at that place. is added, that
they formerly resided at .Burkettsville,
Md. From this latter fact we infer that
the Reverend gentleman referred to must
be the Rev. Moses y. Stewart, of the Re
formed Church. Rumor had it that such
transition had taken place in his case,
and to those who have been familiar with
his idiosyncracies for years past, the event
will not occasion surprise. All we have
to say is, we wish him no harm, but hope
he has at last found his proper spiritual
home and will be happy in it.-Gcrmdl

ESCAPE AND REoAPTURE.-0ur readers
will remember that last week as we were
going to press we stated a party had been
arrested and was being examined on suspicion
Of having attempted to burn the Cosmos
buildings. The party is well known here
as NJ. l. Smith, formerly proprietor Of the
Cosmopolitan Restaurant in this city From
the evidence that appeared against him on
examination, he was ordered to be placed
under bonds of FIVE thousand dollars to ap-
pear 1T the October term of Court for trial.
In default of procuring bonds he was cons
mitted to Jail to await trial He remained
in Jail but one day. On Sunday morning,
the 25th, while the jailor stepped across the
street to procure some beef,stake for breaks
fast, Smith slipped out at the door of the
Jail and escaped unseen save by one or two
persons as he disappeared over the mountain
ridge towards Snake River. Considerable
excitement prevailed. Hand.bills were inns
mediately printed and circulated, offering
$3.50 reward for the runaway. Several per-
soDs started in pursuit; but Deputy Sheriff
Mills proved to be the fortunate one. He
overhauled Smith about eight miles from
Silver, near Babbington's Ranch, on Rey>
nold's Creek, and brought him back 10 jail
where be is safely lodged at present. OWy-
