The dethroned sovereign who lately
held despotic sway over that portion
of our common country, once known
in the political geography as the
States of North and South Carolina,
Dan Sickles, publishes six mortal col
umns of defense, which will be accept
ed by the delirious faction as a triumph
ant vindication, Chief Justice Chase to
the contrary Notwithstanding. If his
arguments lack thesharpness ofthe bay
onets which he employed in Whining
ton to resist the authority of the Su-
preme Court, they will be good enough
for radicals generally. But candid
men will confess that Sickles, pen in
hand, smart as he is, cannot assail the
courts as effectually as when in the.
plenitude of power, supported by the
muskets of United States soldiery, he
assaulted them in the CarOlinas. He
wastes much time in describing the
condition of the District when he as
sumed command, and makes loud boasts
of the clemency, forbearance and mag
nanimity which marked his reign, re-
minding us in his self-laudations of
some of those good kings of whom we

he intended any contempt Ofthecourts

course of his defense he says: 81 dOnot

Sickles live long enough he will dis
cover that the people of this country
hold widely different opinion. Rath-
er than permit any interference with
the freedom of the judiciary, they will
sweep away all the rubbish of military
reconstruction laws, and all the agents
employed in their execution. With
patriotic fervOr they will cling to the
courts ordained by the constitution for
the maintenance of their rights and
liberties, when the whole brood of re-
construction acts and the miniOns who
enforce them in the tyrannical spirit
which actuated Sickles, shall be re-
membered only to be execrated. In
offering armed resistance to the courts
Gen. Sickles was engaged in levying
war against the United States, and was
as guilty of treason as the rebels who
fired on fort Sumter. But as the
President is about to issue a general
amnesty proclamation, and as the rad
icals insist the war is not yet over, we
hope he will include Sickles, and give
him full pardon. 1t is enough for us
that Sickles, the King, is defunct, and
that Candy reigns in his stead. lie rOi

''DID YOU HEAR THE NEWS FROM
MAINE?''

The Democrats have made a gallant
fight in the State of Maine. The cleo
ton for Governor came off last Mon
day, and the result shows @ Republican
loss since last gear Of 1900! Such is
the announcement by telegraph, and
we doubt not that further returns will
improve upon this. The Republicans
have lost at least one half of their ma
jority of last year, which was 27,25S.
The Democrats make considerable gains
in the Legislature. Since writing the
notice of the Vermont election, in an
other column, we have learned that in
that State the Democrats have elected
a Senator, the first for many years.
Hurrah boys! Things are going with
rush for the Democracy.

WAIT A LITTLE.-The celebrated
false prophet, DR.. Cumming, has sew
eral times predicted the end of the
world and fixed the day for it to come
off, but his predictions have always
been falsified-the world would in spite
of him, roll on in its accustomed cOur, e.
The doctor now, however, is determin-
ed to attune for the past, and acknowl-
edges that i'll his predictions he was
mistaken. He says that in revising the
calculations on which he based the an
nouncement of the worlds ending in
1857, he discovered that he overlooked
figures which add something like
quintilion of years to the race which this
nun lane sphere has run. To see the
real day of the end of the world, there
fore, we must wait short time longer.

HENRY W WILLIAMS
THE REMOVAL OF SICKLES.

The.Radical newspapers have set up
a universal howl over the removal of
Gen. Sickles, the congressional satrap
commanding in the military district
composed of the late States of North and
South Carolina. From the opinion of
the Assistant Attorney General of the
United States, we present brief sum-
mary of the facts in the case, which
justify the removal not merely, but the
prompt punishment of the offender. 1t
will be remembered that a regular term
of the Circuit Court of the United States
was held at Raleigh, N. c., without the
military lines of Gen. Sickles, on the
first Monday in June last, Chief JUS
tice Chase presiding. At this term of
the Court, judgment was entered against
two parties, David and Daniel Kahn
weller, defendants of record. Upon
these two judgments, writs of execution
were regularly issued and placed in the
hands of Daniel R. GoodlOe, U. S. Mar
shall, who was forbidden to execute the
process by Capt. r. L. Frank, COM
mandingat Wilmington. Capt Frank
justified his interference with the writ
of the Supreme Court, under order No.
10, issued by his superior officer, Daniel
f. Sickles; declaring that he would not
allow the judgment or decree of any
Court to be enforced in violation of ex-
listing orders. Capt. Frank submitted
report of his action to Gen. Sickles
who formally approved of it. For this
obstruction of the process of the highest
judicial tribunal in the land, and Grim
inal contempt its authority, Sickles
was promptly removed by the Presi-
dent, and for this, he is now receiving
the plaudits of the radical destructives
throughout the country.
We shall not insult the intelligence of
our readers by proving that it was the
duty of General Sickles to aid the
court, if its authority was interfered
with, instead of using the military
power in his hands to obstruct its pro-
cess. He pretends to derive his power
from the reconstruction laws of Con-
gress, but arbitrary and tyrannical as
they are, they have not yet abolished
the constitution, nor destroyed the
courts oflaw. Chief Justice Chase, who
should be good authority with radicals,
Gfthe constitution Ofour fathers is not,
in solemnly opening the court, de-
clared that the recent military recon-
struction acts did not and could not ex-
tend, in any respect, to the courts of the
United States. Judge Chase rightfully
holds that the Supreme Court cannot
be interfered with by the President or
by Congress, or by any power on
earth. General Sickles holds a differ
ent opinion, and has employed the
military fO, ces of the country to defy
its authority. In the name of the in
suited majesty of American law, in the
name of a trampled and dishonored
constitution, for the sake of what yet
remains of American liberty, we thank
President Johnson for removing Sick
les.

The COpperheads are again full of
Negro Suffrage; they assert positively
that it is the intention of the "Radi-

HENRY w. WILLIAMS,

The Radical candidate for Supreme Judge, stands
upon platform, in which occurs the following
language:
"ResoIred, That warned by past misfortunes,
we ask that the Supreme Court of the State be
placed in harmony with the political opinions of a
msjority of the people.
Thus, the Supreme Court, which is the final ar
bitter between the weak and the strong, between
minorties and maorties, is to be swayed by polit-
ical bias against the rights OF that portion of the
people tchO may happen to be 'm the minority.
Have minorites no rights which majorities are
bound to respect? Nay, are not the fewest num-
Der of people larcyerS juriStS, and is not often
the smallest minority right, on questions of law,
rather than the mass who have had no legal or ju-
dicial education? Who therefore, could trust a
man as Supreme Judge, who will agree to substi-
tute for his own deliberate judgment, the crude
opinions of the mob!
