OPINIONS DIFFER.-Mr. Charles O'Con-
or expresses himself as thoroughly salts
fed that an injunction will be issued to
restrain the execution of the reconstruc-
aon measure as against the parties en-
braced by the Georgia bill, and declares
that the court cannot evade the question
without disgrace. The Southern. States
he asserts have the same constitutional
status as before the war, that to main
tain that status was the object of the war,
as repeatedly resolved by Congress itself,
and it is as idle tor any person or power
now to ignore that fact as it would be to
question and result.
On the other hand Mr.. Caleb Gushing
advances the opinion that the injunction
cannot issue against the Secretary of
War any more than it can against the
President himself, because the official
acts of the Secretary are the official acts
of the President, and the Secretary
is the executive agent of the President,
hence it is that the courts have always
held that the writ of mandamus will not
lie to compel the heads of the depart
ments to do any act the Performance of
which is within their official discretion.

aDrunken senator.

The Senate Chamber has recently been
relieved of the presence of one poor vag-
abond-MacDougall of California-whose
displays of maudlin imbecility and glib
bering vulgarity frequenely brought the
blush to the cheeks of bis fellowmeml lers
Bat it is disgraced by another common
sot-Saalsbury OF Delaware. This midi
viduad has lately appeared upon the floor
almost uniformly in state of gross
and shameful intoxicatiou. He staggers
about among the benches, lolls down and

Ratified.

The treaty with Russia for a.sransfer to the
United States of its North America Possessions,
has been ratified by the Senate-oniy seven
votes being recorded in the negative. As the
injunction of secresy laid upon the executive
session was not removed, the precise terms of
the treaty are not made public. But it is under
stood that the price paid for the territory is
seven millions; while for two millions addi-
tional Russia agrees to assume the fishing and
hunting franchises wfaich have been granted to
Great Britain, and thus leaves cur Govern
merit absolutely sovereign in its Jurisdiction
This removes what had been considered the
most Objectionable features in the arrangement.

DECORATE TILE HoMEsTEAD.-The mild
breath of spring and the music of the ear
ly birds, remind us that the season ap-
proaches for planting, not only vegeta-
bles and grains necessary for mans SUBJ
sistence, but shrubs, flowers trees to feed
the eye and nourish the taste.
There is no homestead on which lit
tie Judicions labor now will not result in
more or less pleasure hereafter. None of
which there is not some nook or corner
that can be beautitied by vine, shrub
or plant of flowers. Nature will do her
part if we perform ours, and many bar
rem and unsightly yard or common may
thus become a thing of beauty, adding
to the pure joys of home. Next to whole
some food, says rural journal, home
pleasures are necessary to enliven our
spirits, promote the good health, and
give zest to rural life. What can give
greater saticfaction to family of refined
taste than to have the grounds around
the homestead decorated with the beau
ties of nature so bountifully furnished us?
The species and varieties of trees, shrubs
roses, vines &C., are now so numerous
that selection can be made to suit every
cline, soil and exposure, and to bloom
and fruit all the growing season. See
them tastefully arranged and gorgeously
dressed with foliage of various colors and
decked with blooms far transcending the
most costly jewelry in brilliancy, and
perfuming the air with their fragrance
In windy days they gracefully bow,
prance aud whirl around like the spright-
ly youth in the dance, and the melody of
the breeze serves them for music. How
beautiful the picture and great the enjoy
ment to those who can appreciate them. 1t
makes cot a palace, and home para
dice; the owner king it imparts a
dignity to the manly graces of sons, and
lusture to the beauties and virtues of
daughters. The passing wayfarer is de-
lighted with the scene, and sets it down
In his mind as the abode of the great and
good in heart, and the virtuous and wise
in action.
After planting climbing vines to clothe
the veranda, and a few deciduous trees
around the house for shade in summer,
all the other trees should be SO arranged
over the lawn that all will be seen at one
view. Set the more dwarf nearer the
house, and the taller farther off. and they
will appear to rise In graceful folds as
they recede from the eye, and the con-
trast of size, form color of the various
individuals will show to greater advan-
tage, and that viii give additional grace
to their charm.

For Governor.

While our Union friends are casting about
for candidates for gubernatorial honors, we
see no reason why we may not make sugges-
tion in that direction. 1t may be but an indi-
vidual preference, to be sure, but none the
less worthy andmeritous on that account. Most
of the names submitted are either individual
or local preferences, and one section has as
good ground for bringing forward and nam
ing its best men as another. When the
conveAtion assemblies, it will act without en-
barrassment, and freely exercise its choice from
the names submitted. We have both anindiyid-
ual and local preference, and ask that that pre-
ference may be treated with the same attention
and respect as those of others. The editorial
corps of Ashtabula county ranks in intelligence
with that of any other portion of the State, and
none have been more steadfast, true and deyot-
ed to principle. We would therefore present
the name of Hon. w. G. HowELLs, our worthy
eotemporary, trusting that bis claims may not
be overlooked in the Convention.

The everlasting Valandigham of cop
perhead memory is out in a letter ON the
political situation. He says he sees now
distinct glinlmerings of the dawn sooner
or later to open into perfect day! The
poor old political hack certainly must be
very easily elated. He feels happy that
the president was not impeached, though
he don't like him; glorifes the success
in Connecticut; hopes the traitors of the
South will hold on for a season; goes in
for the Louisville Convention, and praises
English as the first new Democratic Gov
ernor. Well it is good to see any one
happy and when it can be done SO cheep-
lY no one will object.

The question of granting the right Of suffrage
TO women, isto be voted upon by the people of
Wisconsin at the next election.
The negro suffrage amendment has been de-
feated in the New Jersey House of Representa-
tives By vote thrity-fye to twenty. Thirteen
Republicans voted in the negative.
At the suggestion of Gov. Murphey Mr.. Gar
land has abandoned his intention to file petit
ion against the reconstruction bill in behalf Of
Arkansas, the Governor thinking an adverse
decision would result unfavorably to the inter-
ests of bis constituents.
There is probability that Governor oglesby
will convene the Legislature of Ilionis in special
session in order TO pass law for the taxation
of National Bank stock held in that State, in
accordance with the recent decision of the Uni
ted States Supreme Court, rendering null and
void the present statute for this purpose.

The Peruvian Dmculty.

A letter.from Admiral Dahlgren to
minister Hoyey shows that the difficulty
with the Peruvian Government is not
yet settled, and states its origin and pres
ent position 1t appears that exrebel
Tucker, on being made an Admiral of
the Peruvian Navy, took occasion to in
suit our naval officers, whereupon they
refused thereafter the customary salute
to him, bat invariably saluted the Peru
Wan flag. Our Government expressed
the hope that Tucker's conduct would be
disapproved by the Peruvian government
and that he be required to apologise.-
This the Peruvian government declined
to do, on the ground that refusal to sa.
lutte Tucker is slight to the Peruvian
flag.

Great Excitement I'm CoshOcton-Arrest of
Parties Charged with RObbing the Treas.

Great Excitement In Coshocton-Arrest of
Parties Charged with Robbing the Treas
ury.
1t will be remembered that in January,
1853, saws the Coshocton Journal. the
Treasurer of Coshocton county alleged
that he lad shawl thrown ever his
head, q stick put in his mouth and bound
with rope by two men who proceeded
to rob his safe of some twenty-five thous-
and dollars. The first man to go to his
rescue was the Sheriff of county:-
Though number Of arrests were made,
and two men kept in Jail for nearly a
year no convictions were ever effected
A mystery from that day to this has been
hanging over the whole transaction. The
Journal and Coshocton Age, for intima-
ting a suspicion that it was not robbery
had their proprietors,' FL. d. Cooke and
Joe w. Dwyer, prosecuted by the virtu-
Gus and indignant Treasurer for damages
to his character in the amount of twenty
thousand dollars &c.
During the last few years there has
been an individual named Jim Brown, a
banker in Coshocton, worth it is said
100000, who has become notorious on
account of the frequent indictments found
against him for burglary and prejury.-
For year or two he has been residing
in Canada, beyond the reach of officers of
the law, but on making sly visit to his
home was caught and lodged in jail
but subsequently released on bail. He
has been frequently charged with COM
plicity in this treasury robbery, and it is
said has frequently threatened to make
some exposures if not let alone. This
he seems to have done for we have the
runner to-day that the Treasure who was
robbed, and the Sheriff who went to his
rescue, have been arrested for that rob-
berry.
The Attorney General of the State,
deeming the evidence of Browns compile
ity in this robbery so clear, has com
menced suit against him for the amonnt
of the States portion of the loss.
