The SPRING WAGONS sent out by Messrs.
DooLEY q HILBERT, from the coach factory
of MIR. Hawks, in this town, are very Justly
invoking attention from those in want, in our
own and neighboring counties. We were
shown two on Saturday, which had Just been
finished to order, and for durability of make,
neatness of arrangement and completeness of
structure, would compare with the manufac-

DENISE OF ANOTHER "JoE."-We cam

In many respects he was an honorable dog.

which has for several years Injected his mas
ter he was guilty of many little meannesses
which caused his taking off, to be regarded
with pleasure among the inhabitants of his
neighborhood. With none of the virtues of
the ancient Joseph. and many OF the vices of
modern Joseph, his general conduct was
such as to cause few tears to flow when it
was known that some one had overcome him
with strychnine, and that he had been forced
to yield to the mandate of ''cup of cold
pizen"

RG- Attorney General BINcKLEY has is
sued circular to all District Attorneys and
Marshals of the United States instructing
them to recognize in all cases the sanctity of
the Federal Constitution and the fact that
the Government hereunder, with its several
coordinate branches, executive, Legislative
and judicial, is the only lawful Government
for this republic. The circular also warns
the persons it addresses that many well.mean-
ing citizens have in consequence of disturb
ing events that are now happily past come to
look with indulgence upon false and danger
Gus pretences that the Constitution is not the
supreme law of the land, and also the authen-
tic proof of the will of the people but that
there are powers of government outside of the
Constitution which may lawfully violate that
instrument and the laws made in pursuance
of it, These errors they are called upon to
avoid.

I'm view Of what is taking place all over
the country, we advise the Tribune and the

We have written about it often and feelingly
but in view of the California election, and,
in fact, of all the recent elections, we do not
believe the subject will have the same inter-

We have some facts. figures, and stock argu-
ments on the subject, which we shall be hap

CHARACTERISTIC Letter from Thad.

WASHINGTON, April "a. - The
health of Thaddeus Stevens is much

Pennsylvania next week. He, to-day
wrote letter for publication, taking
for his subject the following extract
from notice of Sanator Wilson's re-
cent speech near Hampton Roads.
He Wilson, said there would be no
limpediment to Southern represen-
tation in Congress if they elected
| Union men, and closed his remarks by
saying he would leave Virginia with
the full conviction that Republican
Governor, Legislature, and two Sena-
tors would be elected ea{ s,N

WASHINGTON. April 2.
Mr.. Editor: .. - t.i- t
Such articles as this are calculated
to do much harm. They throw obsta-
cles in the way of future reconstruc-
ton, being quoted and relied upon as
pledges BY the Republican party
Hence much trouble arises from GER
tain loose and indefinite expressions
contained in bill, which was report
ed by the Reconstruction Committee
of the Both Congress. Though it
never passed, it was perverted by fac
ton and folly into argument against
the whole party and Congress. This
generally arises from the careless
ness Of reporters, but at fines from
inadvertance of the speaker. No
man should make sroffiises for the
party. By what authority does any
one say by the election of loyal deie-
gates they. will Z be admitted? BY
what authority say. that Virginia will
elect n two, loyal Senators when, in
truth, there IS 1o Firgi MAP Much is
to be done by the people and Con-
gress before any Representative, or
Senator, or State gcan beErecognizeda
w ho authorized an orator to say
there would be uos confscation? As
in another place, these things are too
fippantly said. Think they had bet
ter be grayely pondered. Who is
authorized to travel the country and
peddle amnesty? l would say to the
most guilty, expect punishment. and
then quietude; but first mild confis-
cation, to- pay those who have been
robbed by disloyal men. These are
my wishes, aud mine only, perhaps. q
