Rsso,gsd, That the sossrins ayowsd rs By
on the Is b inst. that the abrogation of
the rebel States binds the nation to pay
heir debts incurred prior to the rebellion,
law. a deliberate STAB at the national cred
it, abhorrent to every sentimento of loyalty,
and will be pleasing only to the vanqui b.
ed traitors to whose agency alone the Gov
eminent of said States were overthrown
AMI discharged.
To this resolution it appears that
there were found in the House only
eighteen men, who were so lost
to every principle of public faith and
national credit, to say nothing of the
higher instincts of patriotism, as to re-
cord their votes against it. And of
this Infamous eighteen WILLIAM E.
NIBLACK is one, who stands ready to
applaud the efforts of a faithless
President in his insane attempt to
ruin the National credit, and bring
disaster upon the country. 1t is
worthy in infamy to be placed along
side Of that other vote of this same
WILLIAM E. NIBLACK in the Thirty
Ninth Congress against the resolution
declaring JEFF. DAVIS traitor, and
that as such he ought to be brought
to trial. OF the two the vote of last
Thursday was the most dangerous,
because of it's tendency to bolster up
the President in an assumption,
which, if accepted as sound interna-
tional law, might be ruinous to the
Government.
We must, as best we may, bear the
shame and modification of such dis
loyal representative in the National
Congress. But we have the consola-
ton of knowing that he occupies his
seat for the last time. Thanks to the
progress of free principles and the aid
of the last Legislature, we will be able
at the next election, to shake off this
Copperhead incubus, and wipe away
the foul blot which he has cast upon
the loyalty of the people of the First
Congressional District. Let our
friends in all the counties marshal
their forces this Fall for the contest
of 1868, and we will send to Congress
a Representative who will place him
self on the side of his country and
against rebels. We want no longer
a repudiator of the National debt to
represent the First District. 1t is
matter of rejoicing that his days as
public servant are numbered.

The Lexingt on Statesman gives the fol-
lowing account of fight which occurred
at Lancaster, between Major Carpenter. a
former Federal soldier. and three men
for mcrly of the rebel army: q On Thurs
day last, as we learn from two gentlemen
who were in Lancaster at the time, three
men named Kennedy, made desperate
assault upon Major Carpenter, formerly of
Wolford's cavalry, in the Huffman House.
of that place Major OarpentHr, as our in
fornIant states, was in the public room of
the hotel, when he was approached by a
man by the name of Kennedy. who said
he intended To- slap his tGagPenter Jaws
house, Major Carpenter statfoning himself
at the corner of the hotel. Almost i'm
mediately the three men marched abreast,
with pistols drawn, towards Carpenter,
when he opened a steady fire upon them.
The parties soon retreateed after firing
their loads.
II seems that the Major was in command
of a detachment of troops at the polls in
1865, and ref sed TO admit one Of the Ken
nedys to vote. since which time one of
them has threatened to kill him. Major
Carpenter was formerly a Lieutenant IN
Wolfor6's c.valry, and promoted TO the
Majority of the regiment. He fought as
galla atJy in this encounter against three
men, as his bravery was singularly Gistin-
gu1shed throughout the war.
