C!vi. Rights Bill In KentHeky-The
First Sentence Under it.

The Louisville Democrat Of Satur.
day contains the following:
About fifteen months ago, John
Rhodes, John Stuart and Thos. Wick
ers, alias Texas" were arrested in
Nelson County, KY, and brought to
this city, charged with sburglariously
and felonously entering the dwelling
house of Nancy Talbot David Beel-
or aud Thomas Scott, (people of
color robbing them of their goods
and chattels, and assaiHting them in
the most brutal manner. They were
found guilty before the United States
Circuit Court, in the October term,
1866. Their counsel, General w. T..
Ward, thereupon moved the Court to
arrest the judgment in the case. They
were remanded to prison, where they
were confined. awaiting the decision
of Associated Justice Swayne, which
was delivered before the United States
Circuit Court, on Thursday morning,
and in which he .sustaibed the con-
stitutionality-of the civil rights bill
and overruled the motion above re-
ferred to, in arrest of Judgment
Yesterday Judge Bland Ballard
passed sentence onthe prisoners above
named, and upon asking them if they
had anything to say why sentence
should not be passed upon them, they
replied, moi" The Judge made a
few remarks, in which he said he
would see that justice was meted out
to the poor oppressed" against the
depredatiousao Of burglars, &C., so long
as he sat upon the bench, and he
could find jnries in the country who
would find all such men guilty of such
bold acts of inhumanity, &c. There
were three indictments against each
of the prisoners-rape, robbery and
burglary. The Judge sentenced each
of the prisoners to be confined in the
Frankfort penitentiary, at hard labor,
for the term of ten years. The coun-
sci, General w. Ward, has moved for
an appeal to the Supreme Court Of the
United States.

A Mechanical Horse that Beats Dex

A Good Year for american colleges.

n UVOO 4G0E hUE NOAACSG5s
The past collegiate year has been
one Of uhexampled liberality toward
our higher educational institutions.
Our colleges, old and new, have re-
ceived the donations of their gener-
Gus friends in such amounts as to
inspire them with new ivigo- while
adding to their means Of usefulness.
Some idea of the aggregate amount Of
these benefactions may be. gathered
from, the following table, which we
find in the Yd1e C0urdgtt, and believe
to be trustworthy. In this list no ac-
count is made of the amount given, in
the way of land grants, to the Agri-

is more guarded in It's practical apnIioatian.
Even the Gdzette and the Democrat bowevar
exhibit qualms, not indeed as TO the iustioe
Of impeachment, but as to the expedieuov
Of insisting on 1t at the present time: both
carefully diVest themselves of resnonsib;Iitv 6
under the conviction that the House must
bear the whole. Aud the Democrat protests
against attempts to talk the House up to
the impeaching point, If II be not otherwise
inclined to proceed. ''No impeachment at
all, " says the radical oracle of st. Louis,
would be infinitely better than tedious de-
bate about it; better for Congress- better for
the dominant party, better for the country"
AS 1t is certain that the Committees report
has no chance of adoption except under more
effective party discipline than we deem pro-
bable, and equally certain that the impeaoh-
ers will rely on debate TO cover the short
comings and absurdities Of their report, we
expect to see the Democrat disgusted with
the business before it reaches an end.
Apart from these exceptions, the Judgment
Of the Republican press is against both the
debate and the recommendation. This is now
as true in regard to decidedly radical newspa-
pers as to papers of habitual moderation. The
Boutwell, Williams report has sckened them.
The fiimsiness Of its evidence, the gross par
tisanship Of its spirit, and the haziness and
pODderosity of its style, are characteristics
which have made not few heartily ashamed

love, no respect for Mr.. Johnson dictates the
moderation which is recommended. The CON
viction that he has betrayed the party which
trusted him, and inflicted mischief on the
country he has sworn to serve, obtains
almost universal expression. But the desire
to remove him from the Presidency is tenn
pered with a feeling that it would be impru-
dent to take step which, on the evidence
shown, could not lead to conviction, and which
would meanwhile produce very serious embar-
rassment. Mr.. Summers fancy, that Mr.. John
son cannot safely be trusted for five minutes,
does not find admirers. The general feeling Is
that Mr.. Johnson's hands are tied already
that with proper action on the part of Con-
gress he cannot do much harm--that the coun-
try will outlive his term of ofice-and that
though he deserves deposition, extreme mea-
sures would not, in existing circumstances,
admit of justification.

cism which the majority report on impeach-

opinions prevails the larger number of our
Republican contemporaries dissenting very
decidedly from the recommendation of the
Judiciary Committee.
Excepting only the Cincinnati Gazette, we
have not found any really influential journal
which undertakes to urge impeachment on
the merits Of the case before Congress. "John-
sons usurpatiOns ia the matter of Southern
reorganization justify impeachment" Is the
substance OF the argument which the Gasette
presses with It's usual earnestness. The st.
Louis Democrat entertains the same view but

1t required no habits Of reflection to
interpret. The brilliant series of Demo-
cratic victories, beginning with California
and ending with New York, demonstrated
that the spell Of fanaticism was broken, and
that the country had passed into a new era.
The suddenness Of the reaction, while it con-
founded the Republicans, surprised even the
Democrats. Later in July Congress had ad
jouTned in a spirit of haughtier domination
than II had ever before exhibited. In less
than two months came the promonitory thun-
der-claps from Maine on one side of the conti-
nent and California on the other, followed by
heavier reverberations in the two succeeding
months in all the greater and several of the
lesser States Of the Union. The violence of
this great reaction was in part owing to the
fact that the natural current Of public thought
had been arrested; that the questions which
should, in due course, have occupied the
country on the close of great war, had been
postponed until no barriers could longer with
stand them.
