Important Injunction Suit.

Washington dispatches and correspondents
during the week have reported infinitely in
reference to certain proceedings commenced
in the supreme Court of the United States by
the Hon Robert j. Walker and Judge Shark
ey, on behalf of the State of Mississippi, the
object OF which are to enoin the President,
Gen Grant, &c. against enforcing the recon

Gently enacted by Congress. The bill on
Which the prayer is grounded occupies four or
five columns in the lntelligcncer," and ar
que the unconstltutonaity OF the acts OF
Congress in question with yicmonstrative
,learncss that would seem to leave the court
no alternative but to grant the injunction as
prayed for. The only way the Court can dodge
this responsibility would seem to be to hatch
up plea of want Of jurisdiction or some 9th.
cr technical objection sufficient to defeat the
application.
simultaneously with this announcement O
the commencement OF suit by the State o
Mississippi, also comes the statement thai

Russian Treaty,

The treaty with Russia, for the purchase OF
the Russian possessions on this continent by
the Government of the t. S. mentioned in our
last as having been concluded by the Pres-
dent with that Government, has been ratified
by the Senate, and will soon be officially pro-
mulgated. All it now needs to give it full
force, is the appropriation by Congress of some
s10,O0o,00O in gold to pay the price agreed
on. There were but two negative votes in the
Senate on the ratification.
The territory occupied by Russian America
is about $4,000 square miles. The Island
may increase the domain to 100000 acres.
The United States are to pay so, 200, 900 in
gold at the treasury at Washington, within ten
months after the exchange of notifications,
which are to be exchanged at Washington be
fore the Both of June, or the treaty falls.

THE SOLD DEMOCRATIC GUARD"

4nessiy Editors--The democracy of the town OF
Rutland, at the late election, presented their
ranks unhroken, and proudly maintained their
position as the "Old Guard" The victory they
achieved deserves to be chronicled as of unusual
significance. on account of the efforts and boast
ings made by the radicals for the last year that
they intended to overthrow this strong hold of
constitutional government. The new village of
MaIseiiles is located III this town, and is mostly
composed of "down-east' radicals, fresh from
Plymouth Rock headed and marshalled by fana-
teal preachers of the pure "duck-head' breed.
who consider white man OF little consequence
when compared with negro Last fall they
were encouraged to anticipate victory this spring,
and consequently used every exertion to accomp-
lish it. They held the first political caucus that
ever took place III the town, had their tickets
printed and confidently anticipated victory yet
when the vote was counted white cravats were
scarce and the Oldest rats run for their holes for
the democracy have triumped by the unexpected
majority of a.
The following excellent ticket, of able and
truSty men, was elected:
Supervisor-Elias Trumbo.
Clerk. R. Shaver.
Assessor-Samuel +. Parr.
Collector-James NJ Trenary.
Com of Highways-Cyrus Shaver
Overseer of the Poor--Resin Debolt.
Justice of the Peace-Edward Beckwith.
Constable-Henry Rider.
The following resolution was introduced by Mr.
J. r. Shaver, and unanimously passed by the
town meeting, in compliment to Mr.. John Hise
who had been long resident of the town and
for the last nine years represented IL in the board
of Supervisors.
Resolved That it is with much regret that We
part with Mr.. John Hise as neighbor and q

We tender him most sincere thanks for his
vigilance in guarding the interests of the towI

Suppose President johnson should refuse to

Congress would suspend him from his tunc-

Washineton Items.

The President is reported as having been
quite indisposed for some days past. Several
cabinet meetings have been adjourned on ac-
count of it, and hosts of Office hunters disap-
pointed in getting " interviews"
The session Of the Senate was to terminate
on Friday OF this week, yesterday but on
account of the indisposition of the President
tn. session must be prolonged few days.
Thad. Stevens, also, is still at Washington,
quite seriously i'll. On Wednesday he was too
i'll to receive the calls Of inquring friends.
The President is said to have no sympathy
with the movement to have the enforcement
of the reconstruction bill enjoined.
Senator Wilson has been ON a visit to Nir-
ginia and returns to Washington highly
"gratifed" Instead of mobbing him, the
people received him kindly and cordially on

Democratic Victories.

The people are certainly waking up to the
fact that the continued rule OF radicalism must
lead to destruction. We are unable to open
democratic paper in. which there is not a
democratic victory recorded. The Indiana
town elections last week are declared to have
all gone one way--all democratic Davenport,
Iowa, has been redeemed Peoria has com
pletely squelched radicalism. Springfield
is herself again. Even Morris has
elected q democratic supervisor The only
victory the radicals claim is in Dubuque, a city
they carried for the first time last fall. The
mayor elected last week was Johnson rcpub-
lican This was the sum total of their vcto-
ry. They lost all the other city officers by a
majority of $50 to 800. The truth is, the tide
is turning at last, and the days Of radicalism
are numbered.

HE'LL.

A friend objects to our use Of the word
" He'll" Now we like hell" not the
place but the word, and do not like "pur-
gatory," "hades," the dominions of sa-
tau, ga very hot place." "a warm lati-
tude, :" " the last home of the damned, and
a countless number of other substitutes for
the short, expressive little word, that Mil
ton and Shakespeare, and Ben. johnson and
Richardson aud, to come down to modern
times, that Scott and Ccleridge, and Byron
and Dickens, and Thackery never failed to
use when they saw fit to do so. Just think
of Luther or John Knox, or Calvin, or
Cromwell, or Gny other staunch
old reformer hesitating to use the
word through fear Of offending the
polite and prudish ears OF boarding
school misses or eifemina.e young men.
| IRE word hell we first found in our BIZ
| BILE next in our catechisms next in the
creed we were educated to believe next
in the standard poets given us to read and
study; next in the Spectator, that orthodox
model of good style next in Hume and
Gibbon next in the mouths Of the boy:
we whipped, and by whom We were
whipped at school next in the world
wherein we roamed. He'll is demo
cratic word. We have heard it in the
lowest haunts of vice and in the saloons
of the most highly cultured and refined in
our land.
We are satisfied with he'll and being
a word Of one syllable, saves us the trou.
BILE of writing long and fashionable substi-
tutes which some seem to think little
more pious, and less vulgar, but we think
not half so expressive, and not bit less

ANOTHER PRIZE FTGHT.

We are called upon again this morning
to give place in our columns to the details
of another of those melancholy spectacles
that sporting men seem to be SO fond of
witnessing. There has been another prize
fight, this time out of the jurisdiction of the
city hence the police cannot be blamed
for not preventing it. Laws, however,
seem to be Of little effect in checking men
in the pursuit OF what is considered popular
displays, however pernicious, and so long
as men will witness them, patronize them,
and demand that they shall be noticed in
the papers, we see no hope of stopping
them. They can only be frowned down
by public opinion but we are sorry to say
that the prospects of relief from this source
are not at present encouraging.
