Personal and Political.

Hon. Thaddeus Stevens has been
confined to his bed ever since Wednesday
last, from general prostration and an affec.
ton of the heart. Secretary Seward called,
but Mr.. Stevens was to i'll to see him and
other inquiring friends.
The petition filed in the Supreme
Court on Friday last, by Messrs. Sharkey
and Walker, praying for an injunction
against the enforcement of the Sherman
Reconstruction Bill, is to be followed with
one from Georgia, and probably with 9th.
ers from all the Southern States, praying
for the same action.
1t is stated that the Attorney
Generals office will soon give a legal opin.
ion as to whether General Sheridan had any
right, under the Military Reconstruction
act, to remove State officials in Louisiana,
The President is represented as being Of
opinion that he has no such right under
that law. II the Attorney General reports
to that effect, the recently displaced officers

Judge Sharkey and Hon. Robert
]. Walker, on behalf of the State of Mississ-
ippi, fled in the Supreme Court an appica-
ton to argue the bill asking for an injunc-
tion against the enforcement of the Military
Reconstruction bill in that State. Attorney
General Stanbe1y said that he was ready
to resist the granting of the leave, but Chief
Justice Chase said that the Court would
hear the argument on the next motion day,
being Friday next.
-Major-Gen. John Pope has issued
an order assuming command of the Third
Military District, comprising the States of
Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. He permits
the present civil officers In those States to
retain their places, on condition of good
behavior, until their terms expire and for
bids all elections except those provided for
under the Reconstruction of Congress.
The appointment of Registers
under the Bankrupt law will not be made
for some time yet. 1t is understood that
Chief-Justice Chase is preparing regulations,
which will be promulgated in few days,
providing for the selection of Registers in
the several Judicial districts. The applica-
tions are very numerous for the positions,
and it is found necessary to adopt some
system before they are made.
Gen. Sickles, in South Carolina.
has for the present prohibited elections, an
that he will soon begin to appoint
Sherifs. In Alabama, Gen. Swayne simi-
larly declares that all local elections are dis
allowed, and summons all lately elected per-
sons to report the fact to headquarters.
The Ohio Legislature, which not
ong ago refused manhood suffrage, has re-
7ersed that action, and both branches have |
passed bill establishing 1t in the State.
The House amended the bill 10 disfranchise
Rebels and deserters, and has sent 1t to the

R9~ The Sheriff of Luzerne County
Penn, telegraphed to the Governor
of this State on Saturday that there
was serious riot in the township OF
Hazelton and Foster, and that he was
unable to quell it with the force at
his command, an armed force would
be necessary. The Governor, having
telegraphed to a prominent citizen OF
the County, received an account of
the condition of affairs, and thereup-
on ordered the captain of a militia
company in the vicinity to hold him.
self in readiness, but in no event to
move without orders from him,
although the Sheriff had previously
ordered him out to quell the riot. A
dispatch from Harrisburg says moth
ing further had been heard from the
scene of the disturbance, and it was
supposed that all was quiet. The
disturbance whatever it may have
been, is supposed to have been caus-
ed by strike for higher wages, the
majority attempting to prevent the
minority from working.

The RUss1AN-AMERIcAN TREATY IN
THE SENATE.-The Senate on Monday
took up the Russo-American Treaty,
which had been reported from the
Committee ON Foreign Relations with
q unanimous recommendation for its
ratification. Senator SUMNER made
an elaborate argument of two hours
duration in its favor. 1t is under
stood that the injunction of secresy
regarding the proceedings in Execu-
tive Session will be 80 far modified
as to allow the publication of his
speech 1t is a comprehensive state
ment of the foreign policy of the
Government, and rehearses the his
tory of previous attempts on the part
of other Powers to obtain possession
of the country in question. The only
objection of seeming force yet urged
against the treaty in that based on
the statement that this territory is
incumbered by various charters to
foreign trading companies. So far
as the mere fact is concerned it is
true, but the terms of the treaty
made special provision for these ex'
listing franchises. Russia first of
fered the Territory for 100000,
subject to the claims of these com.
panies. This our Government de-
clined to accede to. The Russian
Government finally offered to assume
these claims itself if 100000 addi-
tionsl were added to the purchase
money, which was agreed to, and we
receive the Territory free from all i'll
cumbrance by virtue of the charters,
franchise and privileges granted to
British, Russian and American trad
ing companies by the Russian Gov
ernment. This accounts for the pre-
else sum named as the purchase
money, viz 81 100000.

g6- In August last the Oswego

of the loss of little girl who had
left home one morning for the pur-
pose of picking berries, and never
returned. On Tuesday last, says
the Oswego Palladium,of late date.
boys hunting near the field in which
the girl was lost came upon num-
ber of black snakes which they kill
ed. The appearance of the reptiles
in such numbers was thought remark
able, and it was suggested that a
breeding den was near. In the side
Of the hill was found an opening
which in the summer was concealed
by grass and bushes. In this open.
ing was found a human skeleton,
from which every particle of flesh
had been taken. The bones were as
white as ivory and all perfect. Near
by was rusty tin pail and cup. The
remains were taken from the mouth
of the den, and an examination
showed that the place was a den of
black snakes. The boldest hesitated
to enter. Lighted balls of hay, soak
ed in kerosene, were thrown into the
cavity, and in less than fifteen min
utes 80 snakes, ranging in length
from l to 4 feet, came out and were
killed.
The pail and cup were recognized
by Mr.. and Mrs. Drummond as those
taken by their child The physicians
pronounced the remains those of a
female child, and there can De little
doubt that the girl seated herself in
the shade at the opening to this ter
rible den and was attacked by the
reptiles in Numbers and killed

Johnston says the victory of Bull
Run saved the confederacy, which
was all it could reasonably have
been expected to do. Most of the
rebel troops regarded it as deciding
the whole question and ending the
war, and thousands of them left the
