MR.. GREELEY,s AGE.

From the Highland Connecticut Democrat
1t seems that there was bet in our viii
lage on the age of Mr.. Greeley, which, ae-
cording to the Messenger, was settled by re-
ference 10 some musty history; it being
there found that he was born at some time,
making his age, according to the almanac,
fify-fve years. But, in the best sense, he
is but forty-fve. For he is insured in the
American Popular Life Insurance Com
pany, and the scientific Surgeon-in-chief of
that company, DIR. Gum, after a thorough
examination Of his case, his ancestry, good
habits, etc, decided to rate him down to
fcrty-fve years, and the company have in
sured his life for $4,000, at the premium
of forty-five years, showing that TO be the
true market rate at which he should be
counted-which means that Mr.. Greeley at
fifty-fye has as long life before him as the
average CT men have at forty-6ve.
Mr.. Greeley comes of a remarkably
long-lived ancestry, has the best of habits,
is intelligent, careful of his health, and in
every way worthy of the rating he has
received. 1t will be a pleasure TO the
friends of the editor of the Tribune to know
that they may long enjoy his writings, and
that he has the promise of long and
vigorous life. 1t must also be satisfaction
to Mr.. Greeley to have it decided by such
competent authority that he may lay out
his plans of action for many year with
every expectation of having the opportu-
nifty of accomplishing them.
1t must also be source of qualification
to the long-lived, to the friends Of temper
ance, and to the promoters Of intelligence.
to know that the virtues they inherit and
cultivate are appreciated by at least one
company, and enable them to insure their
lives for a correspondingly small sum.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE MILL
TARY LAW

1AhN Law.
The Radical journals of the North
contain copious extracts from the Presi-
dents veto of the military despotism bill,
and 0ndeavor to show inconsistency be-
tween thar message and his present at
titude. The Press and Times follows
this lead, and yesterday reproduced a
portion of that message-decidedly the
best aud most orthodox reading that has
appeared in that paper for some time.
One of the strongest passages in that
document reads thus:
The power thus given to the command
ing officer over all the people OF each dis
trict is that of an absolute monarch. His
mere will is to take the place Of all law.
No master ever had control so absolute
over his slaves as this bill gives to the
military officers over both white and col
ored persons"
The question BOW being discussed is
the power of these commanders under
the law, to depose and appoint at plea
sure the clUt oUicerS 81 the State, from
the highest to the lowest, already exer-
cising their Offices and expressly recog-
nized by the law While they may be
absolute monarchs" over the "persons"
of the people, they may have no greater
powers to remove Mayors, Sherifs and
Governors, than they have to depose
Judges of the Supreme Court, or the
President himself 1t is curious that the
distinction cannot be perceived between
power to domineer over persons" in the
way expressly designated in the law, and
the power to depose and appoint high
officers of State, which is nowhere to be
found in the law at all

Arrested on the charge of PERJURY.

RICHMOND, June 20.-Mark Downey
and ThOs. H. White, two well-known citi-
zens, we're arraigned before the United
States Commissioner this morning, charged
with perjury in having taken the registra-
ton oath yesterday. The United States
District Attorney said, in the first case,
the prosecution would be on the ground
that the State constitution adopted by the
convention at Alexandria DISTINGUISHED all
persons who aided the rebellion. In April,
1864, this constitution was not set aside by
the reconstruction bill. About nine-tenths
of the whites in the State will be disfran-
chised if the District Attorneys ground is
sustained Both cases were continued till
tomorrow. There is great interest mani
tested by all classes of citizens in the case.

FROM


WASHINGTON, March %. = Senate.
Mr.. Sherman offered a resolution au-
thorizing the secretary Of the treasury TO
discontinue the employment Of persons
collecting all direct taxes in the south
ern states, and impose that duty on the
collectors Of internal revenue, who are
to perform them without additional
compensation, which was agreed to and
passed.
A joint resolution directing the re-
endorsement to Indiana for money ex-
pended in calling out the militia, with
amendments to include Ohio, Kansas
and Tennessee, was re-cOmmitted to the
senate military committee by a vote Of
twenty-seven against nine.
The house joint resolution appropria-
ting 81, 900, 600 for the destitute of the
south, was concurred in.
The bill Of last session appropriating
81, OO0, 900 for the reliefof the heirs of ].
E. Bouligney, was passed.
In the house the senate's Joint resolu-
ton for the relief Of the restitution in the
south and southwest, which was reported
from the committee of the whole, was
sgreed to and psssed-yeas 81, nays, 81.
The amendments are as follows: "And
to that end the secretary of war is hereby
authorized and directed, through the
commissioner Of the freedmen's bureau,
to apply as much as he may deem nee
essary, as aforesaid, of the unexpended
moneys heretofore provided, to supply
the freedmen and refugees with clothing
and rations."
MI. Rollins presented a memorial and
resolutions from the st. Louis improve
ment convention, which were referred
to the committee on commerce.
The house then proceeded to dispose OF
the business on the speakers table, and
disposed thereof as follows: The SEN
ate's amendment to the joint resolution,
placing certain troops of Missouri on an
an equal footing with others as to boun-
ties; the amendment strikes out the
words "eieven," and those borne on the
rolls as slaves. The amendment was
eoncurred in, and the resolution goes to
the president.
The amendment to the house bill ex-
empting wrapping paper made of wood
or corr stalks from the internal tax was
again amended by exempting paper Of
all descriptions. The senate amendment
as amended was then concurred in--6S
to 58.
The senate's resolution terminating the
| contract Of a member of congress with
the p~ostoffice department was consid-
cred. Terry moved an amendment en-
towering the postmaster general to reject
any bid he may deem exorbitant, which
was agreed to, aud the bill passed.
1t is said that Gen. Sickles will have
the acknowledgements position in the
regular army made vacant by Rose
Grams resignation.
