The Chicago Republican has fallen into the
hands of some genus who is evidently too
knowing to stay long on this muTky planet
In an article OF the 9th, courteously entitled
"Is Mr.. Greeley Defunct? ?" he undertakes to
correct a wholly immateral error, which men
toned Judge Woodward as q candidate for
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in 1868, and
says
"The woodward fulminations from the Bench-on
scpOn, soldiers voting, on legal tenders &c-wore
until and not having existence the
vons year. could have furnished enough for
his defeat in 1861
Now the original decision in Pennsylvania
that the COnscriptOn Act was unconstitutional
was pronounced in 1863 (by Judge ShdrSwOOd,
if we mistake nOt,) and, being appealed to her
Supreme Court, was there sustained in that
year by Judges LOwIie, WOOdc0rd, and
Thompson, (Democrats3 y Judges Strong and
Read dissenting. The (majority) opinion of
the Court was read by Judge Lowrie. [See
AmericaR CyclopGdia for 1868, page 3G6: Ameri-
can Conflict, Vol. H., page 509l Judges Lowrio
and Woodward were the Democratic candidates
for Judge and Governor respectively in the
State election then pending, in which they
were beaten by Judge Agnew and Gov. Curtin
respectively; and the ousting of Lowrie by
Agnew gave the Republican side Of the Court
n majority; by which majority the aforesaid
decision was reversed (Jan. 16, 1SG4@ the new
Judge Agnew now prOnOuncing the opinion of
the Court.
Such are the material facts in the case; and We
submit that they sustain our article of the 1st
in every essential particular, though writing
from memory only, we were inaccurate on
point wholly unessential. If the Chicago man
had looked into AppletOn'S CycIopGdia for 1863,
nc would have been saved a mortifying self
exposure.

The leaders of the Roman insurrection arc
still confident of success. In the Province OF
Viterbo the insurgents had concentrated at
Tonese, where they were throwing up intrench-
ments, and hoped to be joined by Menotti
Garibaldi. The plan of the leaders is to draw
away as many Pontifcal troops as possible
from Rome, and thus give to their friends in
the city an opportunity to rise. The Pope him.
self feels confident that his army can expel tho
invaders. but he fears that the Italian Govern
ment will march the army which has been con-
centrated upon the frontier into his dominions
and take possession of Rome.

Washington correspondents, in default of some

the common impression that the city is making
very large additions TO its number OF stores

prominent thoroughfares such elegant and

A dispatch from San Francisco states that
the King of the Feejee Islands has ceded to the
United States three small islands in a group,
one of which possesses fine harbor, capable
of being converted into naval station. There
have recently been troubles in these islands
between the natives and American res
idents, and the United States steam
ship Tuscarora has been cruising in these
regions to investigate the troubles. Whether
the cession of three islands was intended as an
atonement for any wrong done to Americans,
or whether it was made in consequence of direct
solicitation from Washington, is not stated.
The King even offered the protectorate OF all
his dominons to the United States, but Capt.
Stanley declined accepting it, believing that he
did not possess sufficient authority Whether
he did accept the cession of the three
islands the dispatch does not say.
