Stnte Sovereignty.

We see by the Parkersburg Times that
MesSrs. G. ID. CAMDEN, :. A. MILLER,
and o'her legal gentlemen who acted
with the late. Confederacy, have been
admitted 10 practise 7 in the United
States Court ROW in session at Parkers,
hurg. As is well-knOwn the same par.
ties. and all others of similar status,
are excluded from our State Courts,
This variation between the rulings of
the State and Federal Courts embodies
an amount of State Sovereignty that
is suggestive of rebellion, and that too
OH the part of loyalty"
The parties in question, if liable at
all, are liable to the Federal Govern
ment. They are not responsible. to the
State Government because they were
not citizens of West Virginia, and be-
cause, ii they had been, the lesser
offence would have merged in the
greater, aud the treason to the
State have been lost in the treason to
the General Government. W" take it
to be clear that Vest, Virginia cannot
hold them Liable rs f0r offences against
her personal majesty, and that their
acts, il punishable at all;-musr be pun
ished BY the Federal authorities: Those
authorities, however, do not attempt
anything in the .retributiOn and ven
geauce line, and the returned COnfeder-
ates are permit cd 70 practice their vo-
cation in the United States Courts, just
as the merchant or mechanic from Dixie
carries on his business, without let or
hindrance.
West Virginia Courts aud Lesis
latures, however, are not 80 easily
appeascd. To be sure, tho offence of
these parties il one outside of their juris-
diction. but still they viii ipunish it.
Notwithstanding the Federal Courts de-
eide their retributiye measures illegal,
they will enforce them. In order TO
punish 4 rebellion with which they have
no official concern, they place them
selves in an attitude of practical re-
bellion against the very authority they
: would vindicate. The General Govern
memt does rot punish, and straightway
the State of West Virginia usurps her
prcrogatiye. Ii AL other States did the
same, and they might with equal pro-
priety, what would be the benefit of
Federal pardon. Disfranchised in one
State, driven from his profession in an
: other, his property contiscated III
third imprisoned in fourth, hung in
FIFTH, and liable to,a similar assortment
of penalties from twenty other Sover-
eiguties in case of his resurrection, the
Forgiven sinner would probably regard
the rardoning power as very inef-
Geieut institution and very many
people would agree with him.

The Surraff Trinl.

Washington dispatches of Saturday
ANNOUNCE the dismissal of the jury in
the SURRArT case, without q verdict.
After prOtracted confinement. and o
free exchange of views, the jurors sta
ted in a letter to Judge FISHER that they
stood exactly as they did upon the first
ballot; that there was no hope of agree
ment. and that the interests of the coun-
trs, the impaired health of several Of
their number. and the neglected condi-
tion of their private affairs all render
ed their release proper and desirable.
The Court promptly ordered their dis
missal
II is difficult To tell what action will
now be taken in the case. Whether
the Government will insist upon going
ON at once with the trial, or whether
the prisoner will be released on bail
and all proceedings postponed, or
whether the prosecution will be aban-
dosed, it is impossible TO say. One
thing is evident. The chances for the
sncccss of the prosecution have been
materially lcssensd By the dismissal of
the first jury.
The SURRATT case has certainly had
IS full and rigid an investigation as
eeuld he desired. Nearly two months
have been occupied by that :nvestiga-
ton. All sections have been ransacked
for evidence that would csnvict.
Yoang men have dreamed dreams, and
old women have seen visions, which
have been brought forward to the pref
udice of the prisoner. Testimony of
the most questionable kind, from wit
nesses of the most dubious character, has
shown at once the rigor and the despera-
fion of the prosecution. Following this,
the field of argument has been exhaust
ed We have had heaps upon heaps,
PeliOn upOn Ossa, in the logical way.
Everything pertinent was said and \
great deal that was irrelevant Then
came the charge of Judge FISHER. Ii
is not now necessary to discuss that pro-
dnction. If jnst, it was with very
seyere sort ofjustice. The jury which
would not convict undsr it, would moi
convict under any. charge, yet sURRNrI
= not vet convicted. Under these cir.
ennstances, the renewal ofprooeedings
neainst SURRATr will be regarded as an
aet of doubtful propriety. 1t may mol
be impossible to convict him on fan
trial, but the possibility of his convic'
bon is so slight as hardly to justify the
ettempt.
The concluding caper of Judge FISH
ID, after dismissing the SURRATT jury

8ace, a marked sensation. Whether the
ssnsation will be as fattering to the
court as was expected, is . different

A Methodist minister named Axley,
a resident of Dongola, ILL.,. and q fire.
ouent visitor to Cairo, some months
ago, while in that city, met one of the
social evils" who rejoices in the name
of Nellie. She was as handsome as
frail. ASley fell-forgot his wife,
children and calling. OF late his visits
TO Cairo have been more frequent, and
~ q consequence his greenbaeks scarce.
On Mondsy his wife asked him for two
dollars. With q sigh he informed her
that he was broke-that the sinful
world did not pay the shepherd for
his labor. After dinner he laid down
upon the sofa to enjoy his siesta. A let
ter dropped from his pocket. He slept.
Mrs. A. discovered the letter, licked it
up; recognized her husbands hand
writing; read Miss Nellie -; Cairo .
She was mad-jealously mad; tore open
the envelope greenback fell TO the
floor. The sheet was opened; "Adora-
BILE Nellie" met her gaze. She read on; ;
"The recollection ofthe pleasure have
had in your company is still fresh in my
memory. lnclosed find FIVE dollars
will send more shortly. Hope the shoes
I sent You fit your dear little feet" All
through ID the letter were expressions Of
epdearment, and it was signed by the
clerical rascal, the base deceiver-Rey,

At Summersville, on the same day, q
large and enthusiastic meeting was
held, Captain J. r. Ramsey, chairman,
and J. A. Hamilton, secretary. Mr.. A.
Walker, of Lewisburg, addressed the
meeting, and seven committees were
appointed to carry out the object of
the meeting in securing the county sub
scription. One q Central Executive
Committee, and a Committee of three,
for each of the six townships of the
county.
The counties of Mercer and Nicholas
are, so far as we can learn, all right on
the question, and will roll up heavy
majority on the right side.
The Union Register says: The lee
lures of Bishop Richard Vincent Whe-
Ian, of the Roman Catholic Church. de-
livered in tho Methodist Chnrch, of this
place, last Monday aud Tuesday nights,
were attended by large audiences.
Whilst there were probably few of his
hearers who fully coincided with the
religious views of the reverend clergy
man, there were certainly none who
denied him the possession of Il benevo-
lent nature aud well cultivated intel
lect. The Bishop left this place on last
Wednesday for Lewisburg.
From the Greenbrier Independent
RELIGIOUS SERvICES.-Rev. Mr.. Val
l.ndigham, brother of Hon. c. l.. Val
landigham, of Ohio, preached in the
Presbyterian church, in this place, on
Sunday last, to large audience. On
next Sabbath Rev. DIR. HOge, of Rich
mond, or DR.. Vandyke, of Brooklyn,
New York, will preach in the same
building. ..... ...
MORE UNCONSTITUTIONAL town
fathers have commenced improving the
streets of this corporation. This is a
move in the right direction, and it is to
be hoped that the good work may go on
until the burg is thoroughly renovated,
regenerated and reconstructed.
From the Lewisburg Times.
CHURCH DEDICATIoN.-The last Sab
bath may be regarded as having inaug-
urated a new era for the Roman Cath
olic Church, in our town and neighbor-
hood On that day, the first Catholic
Church edifice which has ever existed
in Greenbrier, was dedicated. Bishop
Whelan, of Wheeling, officiated, aided by
Father Walters of the Sweet Springs
and another Reverend gentleman, from
Charleston. The audience was very
large, and the ceremony is said to
have been very imposing. Members
of the Catholic Church, from several
adjacent counties. were in attendance.
Bishop Whelan arrived in Lewisburg
ON Wednesday previous, and preached
on every subsequent evening of the
week. The services were finally brought
to a close on Sunday night. We were
unable to attend, at any time dnring
these interesting services, but have
heard the Bishops preaching very IA
vorably spoken of. We understand that
some fifty persons were confirmed.

oy from tho President having for its
object the same end. In the mean
time we bleed from every pore. What
shall we do?
1t strikes us that to make the agony
Of less duration, wo must throw our
solves into tho hands of one or the
other party, and thus strengthen that
party to n degree that will end the
struggle. One or the other must
sooner or later win j; but in the end We
pay the stakes ofbotl. Then tho qucs-
tion, which party has the greatest pow
er to have or to do us good ? We
have seen, that up to this point the
President is underneath in tho fight
and with affair prospect Of being we'll
pummclcd. Tho Congress is in tho
ascendant and promises to remain 50.
Ihero is but one card for tho Prcsi-
dent to play and wo fear The consc
quences. But suppose he plays it aud
by military force tries to prevent tho
assembling Of Congress Would tho
army obey? Wo think not. Then
what ? The Congress would mcot, im-
peach the President, disrranchisc his
supporters in tho South and conliscate
tho property Of all his adhcrcnts.
The truth is, the two parties North
have already wadcd out SO far in inl-
quity, that to rctraco their stops
would dishonor them as much as to
proceed, and we may expect nothing
but additional humiliat ions as long as
the strife continues. We must be al
lied with ono or the other party and
since Congress wiclds tho power and
promises by an acceptance Of it's plan,
that the warfare will DO ended, VIC
can SEQ no reason Tor refusing. On
The other hand, TO sustain the Prcsi-
dent is, to continue tho struggle with
the inevitable result Of permanent po.
litical dis1ualilications upon our pco-
| pie, 70 invite conliscalion and fix for
all time upon us, State Governments,
which it might be wise to remodel at
some future time. We arc the crca-
tuscs Of The Federal Government and
must obey its bchcsts, and since thcrc
sno matter Of principle involved in
seeking relief from our present burth-
ems, we do not hesitate to grasp the
hand that will afford us the necessary
assistance.
