ing" is to be brought about. Congress in
violation Of law sets military commanders
ovcr the people Of the South who have by
a more violent stroke at law removed civil
officers and set aside the law entire; where
upon the same commander proceeds to en-.
act laws such as may please his peculiar
ideas, and enforces the administration Of
bis cnactments by the power Of his sword.
One man, through power given him by
Congress in the military bill passed last
winter, rcpeals laws, makes new laws, ad-
ministers them as an executive officer, and
holds courts to try persons charged with q
violation Of these, and finally If conviction
should follow, will no doubt hang or shoot
the convict, either himself or by those in
his command, This seems to be complete
government in ono man. But says the
Press, the administration does not interfere.

Banditti In New York state.

Most citizens will be surprised to learn
that "the County of Oneida and some Of
the adjacent districts Of tho State Of New
York have BEEN for the last twenty years
virtually in the hands Of an organized band
ofthieves." Yet this is what the Tribune
says and tho statement has basis Of truth.
These banditti have grown rich by robbery.
They live luxuriously, dress well, give their
sons liberal education, have their daughters
supplyed with all tho modern accomplish.
ments, and are more influential than the
most respectable people Of the county
They have the power to take away the Gus.
tom Of tradesman who incurs their enmity,
and ruin professional man they dislike,
and do not hesitate to infict prompt punish
ment in special cases by burning the houses
and barns Of those who have endeavored to
bring them to justice. They never are
brought to justice, because their influence
extends to grand jurymeu, Witnesses and
even it is rumored judges. They operate in
the counties Of Oswego, Otscgo, Madison,
Chenango, Schoharic, Delaware and Sulli-
van, as well a. Oneida. Life in these
several sections Of tho State is pleasant and
seductive. Ono might better go to Italy at
once and encounter Fra Diavolo, or the more
recent Bianchi. There is something of mil
itary protection there, bnt in Oneida one is
at the mercy Of tho civil power, which is
practically in the hands Of the banditti.-
We often hear Of the superior virtue and
quiet content Of the country, but the dark
est picture Of New York society is bright
compared with this Oneida sketch. An
indictment procured by the banditti against
a constable who had killed one Of their gang
has just been quashed, but this will do little
towards remedying the evil. There must
be remedy, although the Oneida people
are slow to fud it. The citizens Of San
Francisco did not need twenty years to de-
wise and execute measures Of relief.-Brook-
lyn Eagle.

to one of the above named counties

S~ Wendell Phillips began by not want

because he had been ,bailed and now he ex-
plains the appar,nt incongrnity Of these
different moods by saying that he "would
no more honor him with a jury trial
than he would an ad4er. " Tho Nation
very neatly hits the theory on which Nj.
Philips bases his opinion, by saying that ho
evidently regards trial by jury as kind Of

Perhaps to fondly still I cling,
afsy- THE trial ofJouN S,jRRArr wa

ssT The trial Of JOHN SURRArT was
adjourned on Saturday last until Monday
morning, at 10 o'clock. Up to the adjourn
ment there was nothing further done in the
trial than the empauelling Of jury. The
case is to be tried by Judge Fisher, who at
present is reported i'll. Judge Wylic pre-
sided during the selection Of Jury, but
declared it not his purpose to continue to try
the case. There lisa good deal Of speculation
over this case; some think the case will not
be tried, others think the prisoner will be
tried and acquitted. If no more regard is
paid to the character Of witnesses than was
in the trial of Mrs SURRATT there is no
doubt as to conviction. The life Of m in
nocent woman, was sworn away, according
to Ben. Buffers allegations, and why not the
life Of her son. Get the same kind Of men
for witnesses and it is easily done.

Wo have been friends together Amanda,
A long time ago,
And dearly loved each other Amanda,

But years have cast q graver tone
On feelings then 20 truly shown,
Aud now fear one half is gone,
Why is 1t SO?
Years must glide on but should they chill
Loves flowing river -.
Why can you not then love me still
AS we'll az ever?
Think you that unmovcd can SEQ
That heart still warm yetchanged to me
Unloyed, forgotten must | be,

Perhaps to fondly still I cling,
Is 1t in vain?
To memories round me lingering
Of JOY and pain
or sunny skies and wintry weather
When We were happy in each other
Amanda we have been friends together,
Why not again? c. CIV.

White Slavery.

There are twenty thousand white men in
Pennsylvania, some of them SCARED and
MANNED soldiers Of the late war, who have
been reduced to political slavery by the
tricks Of the party in power. These men
have no voice in the government Of the State
and are, politically, just as much slaves as
we're the negroes Of the South five years
ago. There are about twenty-five thousand
of this class in the State Of Ohio, and the
same proportion holds good in every North
ern State. In the South, including Ten
nessee and Missouri, two thirds Of the white
citizens are in the same condition. 1t may,
therefore, bo safely reckoned that about
100000 white citizens of the United States
are at present denied the right of citizen
ship. These figures can easily be substan-
tiatcd Is this freedom ? Is this RepuJii-
can government? Oh ye sticklers for uni
vcrsal suffrage, ye shriekers for freedom,
ye howlers for Negro enfranchisement, how
this fact puts you to the blushl Oh ye

Dedicated.

The corner stone of the new Lutheran
Church near Martz school house, in Briar-
creek township, under the pastoral care of
Rev. A. Fl. Shcrts, was laid on last Sabbath.
In the morning there was preaching by the
Rev. G. NJ. Rhoads, of Danville, who de-
livered very able discourse. In the after
noon at . clock large assembly gathered,
and after listening to very interesting and
instructive sermon by the Rev. A. w.
Lentz, of Montgomery station, the corner
stone Of blue Marble, presented by Mr..
Rush, of Sunbury, was then placed by the
workmen in the Southwest corner, after
which the pastor performed the final cere-
monies. The following articles were placed
in the Stone. The Constitution of the con-
grcgation, with short history Of the same.
A list of the members and subscribers to
the building. The names Of the ministers
present. The names Of tho President of
the United States, and the Governor Of
Pennsylvania. A Bible, the Lutheran
Catechism, the church papers, and num-
Der of United States coins and stamps.
When finished this will be beautiful
church building, reaecting great credit to
che congregation and blessing to the com
munity. The site chosen could not be bet
ter, commanding beautiful view for miles
of the surrounding country. It's expected
to have it completed by early fall. -Berrick
