There were three or four knock-downs
on the wharf Christmas afternoon, but
no serious damage done to any of the
party. Cause why-they were too
drunk to hurt one another. There were
no arrests made.

their intrigues, quarrels, tactics and con-
ventions we have absolutely nothing to DO.
We are powerless and voiccless in the
halls of so-called national legislation, and
to us the politics of the North are those
of foreign nation. 1t becomes ussimply
TO make our condition as endurabfe as
possible, and the instincts OF selfpreserva-
tim requires us to perform certain duties,
lest ~e suffer from supineness and de
fault.
1t is scarcely necessary to say that
while we are outlawed and held by the
stern duress of the bayonet, no gentleman,
no decent man-no demagoguc, indeed,
but one Of the lowest type, would insult
our wrongs, our gfiefs and humiliation as
Wilson has done. The most callous exc
cutioner spares, upon the scahold, the feel
ings of his victim and no Radical, who is
not a vulgar charatan, would attempt
while we are pinned to the earth by the
bayonet, to harangue US in praise of the
humanity and charity OF the destroyers
of our liberties.
If Thaddeus Stevens was to appear
among US proclaiming confscation and
exile rs our fate, he would merit our re-
spect far more than Puritan demagogue
who, with the blood of our liberties fresh
upon his hands, comes among us smelling
OF the shambles, to tempt US with promi-
ses of relief if we will endorse and sustain
the authors of our unparalleled wrongs
and insults.-I2ichmond Times.

escapes, and the official correspondence
bearing on those points, and takes great
pleasure in criticlsing them. The Won
derful leap of the precipice in Italy, OF
which SO much has been said and written,
is source Of great amusement to him.
Tire height from which he jumped he des-
cribes as about equal to an ordinary Sc
cond-story window, or say twelve feet
But he tells "a story of descending more
dangerous declivities than this in his flight.
In one instance his only available mode of
descent was to lie upon his back and to
slide down steep and rocky decliHity:
full hundred feet in Height. OF scarcity
of food, ignorance OF the country and con
sequer danger of recapture in exposing
himself by asking information by the way,
of the constant alarm and similar subjects,
he is free and seemingly anxious to talk,
and always in something of a boastful
vein, but his lips are sealed in respect to
all matters bearing in the lenotest degree
upon the great crime with VIII ch his name
is associated and Of which he stands
charged.

associates in attendance, should 1T be de-
cided to argue both bills.
The Acknowledgement said the Georgia
bill lacked the point on which he proposed
to oppose fling the Mississippi bill. The
Mississippi bill was, in a legal sense, Scan
dalous, as it proposed making the Pres-
dent the Defendant before the Court.
Gov. Shafkey said he had amended the
bill to. proceed against the President as a
citizen of Tennessee.
Attorney-General Stanberry read por-
tions of the bill, claiming it was manifest
ly against the President as President.
He alluded to process omewhat similar
issued against Mr.. Jefferson, II, the Burr
trial Mr.. Jefferson did not obey, nor
even notice, the process. lie should ad-
wise the President to disregard the sub
pena, and traced the result, should the
Court persist and the President remain
firm. The Court, to maintair its dignity,
would have to imprison the President for
contempt. He maintained, equally with
the Kings of England, that the President
was exempt from proceedings of this kind.
He could only be brought before the bar
of the Senate after impeachment. The
Courts could punish for acts committed
while President, but he was beyond their
Jurisdiction while occupying the chair.
lie also maintained that the action was
against the United States Government as
much as though the Government were
named. He announced that he appeared
ut the request of the President, who,
when the bills passed over his veto, said
there was but one duty, in his estimation
resting upon him, and that was faithfully
to carry out and execute those laws.
r. J. Walker followed, and the Court
took the matter under advisement.

spheres, by trying their acts by the test OF

for the purpose of preventing irreparaere
mischiefs SO gigantic and intolerable as
those which ara threatened. 1t she should
do mischief in this, and the acts should be
decided to be Constitutional, she will most t
cheerfnlly yield implicit obedience to all
their behests, whatever the consequences
NAV be. Ali she desires is to guard her
rights and the rights of her citizens. and
this boon she hopes may be accorded her
