Death OfIlugh Miller.

We regret to announce the death of
Hon. Hugh Miller, of Fulton County, at
his residence on the Michigan road, four
miles south Of Rochester, on the 1lth inst,
aged 81 years. He died of congestion, re-
s~ulting from prostration produced by a
cancer from which he has suffered nearly
a year. As we stated some time since. an
operation was. performed and apparently
the Dancer removed, and it was announced
in the Rochester Standard, and hoped by
his large circle of friends, hat Judge II.
was recovering. The Standard says his
remains were taken to Rochester on the
18th. and attended, to their last resting
place by a large number of citizens and
relati YES.
An acquaintance with Judge Miller OF
nearl y a quarter of a century, enables us
to bear testimony to his ability. integrity
and devotion to the public interest,"

ture, OF the CONSTITUTIONS Convention OF

Beat Themselves.

Some time since the Rump passed a
Bankrupt law, by the terms of which the
power to appoint Registers was conferred
upon Chief Justice Chase. This it seems
vas a part Of the radical programme to de-
prive the President of the appointing pow
or conferred upon him by the con stitutlon,
fairly overreached the obnoxious occupant
ofthe White House. Afier a little cool re-
Election. however, the C~hiefJustice conclu-
del the step was fraught with danger to
the interests of the radicals and declined
L. make Appointments under the law. He
READILY saw what his friends in the rump
failed to see, !. e. that if his power to APP
point should be called in question on con-
stitu;ional grounds, and a case be brought
before the Supreme Court for decision, he
could not sit as 4 judge to pass upon the
legality Of his own acts and the court wo'd
thus be left with q vote Of five to three
az +lilNl Tie DledSUEt. HIS "OulN " NOuioC
bring the rump into disrepute, even with
many ofits own friends and the law would
thus be declared unconstitutional. To
avoid such a result he at once procured
Senator Trumbull to move an amendment
OF the law so as to relieve him from the
duty ofmaking the appointment, which has
accordingly been done much to the disgust
Of the radicals. It is a great pity that
Mr. Chase did not also inform his friends
that most o. the acts passed by them with
in the last four or five years are equally
open to the objection made in this case,
viz; their unconstitutionality, and the
likelihood that sooner or later they will
all be swept By the judiciary from the
Statute book.

The FcnianS.

UNITED STATES troops have been dis
patched to the Canadian order, to look after
and prevent the anticipated raid by the
Fcnians.
Cne of these days, perhaps, the Fenians
will learn that it is the duty ofthe President
of the United States to see that the national
laws are enforced. If President johnson
were to omittf cnploymento fpropcr means
to enforce til 1%trality laws, that's omiss-
ion IN the ev # a raid on canada would
constitnt goe ,und of n claim against
the America eminent for damages, and
1t would const.utte. moreover. Il sufficient
ground for in'peachiDg the President and
removing him from office. 1t is precisely
such a neglect of plain official duty as the
congressional Jacoblns desire an opportuni-
ty to charge against the President.
1t is entirely within the province of con-
gress to repeal or modify the neutrality laws.
If the radical Jacobins are the friends of
Fenianism which they profess to be, why
is it that the have done nothing in that d.
rection? They have certainly had ample
time, and their numerical strength enables
them to pass any measures they please, in
spite o presiden.ial votes. Why have they
not passed an act to repeal the neutrality
laws. which, so long as they remain on the
statute book, the President musa enforce ?
Perhaps those patriotic Fenians who were
recently inspired with SO much love and
admiratinn for the congressional Jacobins
can answer this question. - Chicago Times

HYDRopHoBIA.-For some unknown
cause Hydrophobia seems to be alarmingly
on the increase, not only in this country,
but in Europe. 1t is said that at Vienna
the disease has become epidemic, and that
even muzzling is not considered the best
safeguard. Dogs should not be permitted
to run at la.ge in any town or city in the
State. We call the attention of our city
authorities to this subject. We have a
large number of useless dogs in Valparai-
so, and they should be kept off the streets.
Ifsome of our citizens should be bitten by
a mad dog, it would be poor consolation to
know that energetic measuses had been Ia
ken after the calamity had happened
The Marshal should at once be authorized
to kill every dog seen ON the streets with
out a muzzle. viii not our city fathers
awaken up to this matter p Valparaiso

We publish on the first page of this pa
per the "mill' between Gen. Butler, the
Bottled Beast" and Mr.. Bingham the
radical leader of the House Of Representa-
tives from the State of Ohio; the whole
thing was exceedingly spicy. The Ohio
champion charges the Beast" with voting
81 times for the "arch traitor" Jeff. Da-
Wis, for President in the Charleston Con
v%ention. The Dutch Gap hero admits the
charge to be true, but comes back at Bing-
ham in good style. charging him with the
murder of Mrs. Surratt, who. he saws, was
hung upon the gallows without sufieien
proof Of her guilt. Bingham, it will be
remembered, was the Judge Advocate OF
the military commission that tried and
convicted this unfortunate woman
The controversy was renewed on Tues
day, Butler again charging Bingham with
the hanging Of the innocent woman, Mrs
Surratt, aud that "the diary Of Booth wa:
kept from the knowledge of the court, and
it now appeared that it had been spoliotea
