STILLMAN HALL The number OF
visitors at the Asbury Chapel fair al
Stillmau hall last night was very large
The christian object in view, coupled
with the line night, drew together 9
large concourse of the youth and beauty
Of the city. The voting for the various
articles to be disposed of has com
meneed in right good earnest and
promises to be very exciting and
interesting previous to the close. The
hat stand, ice cream arbor, postoffice,
refreshment and other tables continue to
be well managed, and the fair man.
ayers deserve much credit for the
manner in which this sociable
festival is conducted. We have but to re-
peat our praises of the young ladies who
at intervals furnished such delightful
vocal and instrumental music, which
does much toward enlivening the inter
esting occasion.

The Southern men of this State can, ,rith

in any county in the two divisions of the State

sick and tired OF b ing governed by knaves and
asses, who have no interest in their property,
no regard for their rights; and as these fools
have unwittingly placed at our disposal the
means through which their overthrow is GER

smashing their political noodles with the clubs
they have placed in our hands; and smash
them lce aciH. Even ,uithout the negro vote, We

La France gives glimpse of the new bill
on the right of meeting, which is still ''under
consideration" before the Council of State.
If its information be correct, it appears to be
conceived in the same narrow minded and OBJ
structive spirit as the bill ON the freedom of
the press. La France says the new bill will
enact that the right of meeting is perfectly
free, but that political, religious, administra-
tive and municipal questions are not to be
discussed in any public reunion. Meetings,
however, are to be allowed to debate on other
subjects in the presence of delegate" COM

A pamphlet has been published under the

have been $40 measures of rigor applied to

The Confederate Cotton Lonu.

A curious point is likely to be raised in the
English courts, where the United States gov
ernment is now prosecuting its claims against
holders of rebel property. The following ques-
ton was proposed to Sir r p. Collier, the late
Solicitor General, and has been published with
his opinion thereon: s...f- ...,...,. .... ID.
Question. Whether or not merchants and
others, on being sued in England by the Gov
ernment OF the United States for property or
money held by them at the termination of the
war, belonging to the Southern States, may not
successfully plead the Confederate Seven per
Cent. Cotton Bonds as o set off, to the extent of
the amount that each defendant may hold of
them? stI diH SallrIpr T.
Opinion. In the event of the United States
Government suing in the courts of this country
Tor debts due or property belonging to the late
Confederate Government, l am of opinion that
defendants who may be holders of Confederate
Cotton Bonds are entitled to set up q counter
claim against the United States Government
IN respect of these bonds. This counter claim
Will be founded ON the principle that If the
United States assert in our courts claims accru-
ing to them through their succession to the
property and rights of the late Confederate
Government, they are bound by the liabilities
OF that Government Should the United States
Government bring actions of debt, L think that
the holders of Cotton Bonds may plead them
as set Off Should they proceed for tortious
conversion of property, "a technical difficulty
VIII stand IN the way of this defense, and it
may be necessary to resort to an equitable plea,
or possibly to the protection of a court of equi-
ty. The equitable case of the bond-holders win
be strengthened by the fact that the United
States Government have possessed themselves
OF the cotton set apart as the security for the
payment of the bonds. The form, however, in
which the defense 1 have indicated may be
raised will be a matter Of subsequent consider
alton when the mode of proceeding adopted by
the United States Government is known.

The Same Old Story.

The Radicals will ruin the country, destroy
the Constitution, bring on universal anarchy,
say our Democratic friends. This is the gem
eral refrain of all their papers and politicians.
This story is sixty years old, and yet the
country stands and the Constitution has lived
to be amended and improved, and liberty has
got foothold on every inch Of our soil. A
curious antiquarion has been overhauling the
files of a paper published in New York city
in 1902, and finds in it the original of the
Democratic howl of to-day. 1t was predicted
then thai chaos or despotism was close at
hand. 1t was asserted then that usurpation
and corruption ruled in Congress. Doleful
prophecies Of quick-coming ruin were as tre-
quent then as now and they were clothed in
the same language. But the Constitution
and the Union still survive. And these old
prophecies were followed up by long ana
glorious career of prosperity and power, as
their modern repetition will be. 1t is thus
proved" saws the Detroit Post" by the record
that the present Democratic predictions, COM
plaints charges and statements are old togy
in their origin, old fogy in their language, old
fogy in their spirit, and borrowed from the
oldest old fogies of the Republic"
The country and the Constitution having
survived the severest conflict ever brought to
The Portland daily press., 1867-03-21

A day or two before the Georgetown cleo
tion,' Hon. Jack Rogers, of N. j., made a
speech to the copperhead voters of that city,
in which he declared that rather than see
the negroes taking part in the government of
the country, he would prefer to see it shat
tered ss by an earthquake, and all nations
gathered to witness the ruins" He appeal
ed 10 ms audience, and asked whether he
would not deserve the sympathy of the peo-
PIE were he compelled to sit in the halls of
Congress side by side with negro members
from the South, overlooking, correspondent
suggests, the extraordinary sensation that
those negro members would experience in
such contingency. Says he ~If the South
have the back bone that / have, before they
will submit to military despotism they will
raise regiments and march for freedom" 1t
is matter of extreme doubt as to whether
