The Military Subjugation BilI

The olackest record ever made by an
assembly of the representatives of free
people stained yesterday the proceedings
Of the House OF Representatives. New
er, in the most tyrannnous hour OF the
long Parliament misrule; never, amid
the utmost subservence to the royal
mandate of an English king; never, in
the most blood thirsty epoch of French
convention, did the representatives OF
the people stamp themselves with great
er ignomiuy. The bill, which passed
by vote OF 109 to 55, hands one-third
of the neople Of this country over to
military government. For the rule of
law, it substitutes the will of an officer.
For TIE tribunal of judge, it furnishes
a drumhead court martial for military
commission. For the process of court
and the peaceful visit OF a sheriff, it
profers the order of q petty satrap and
the presence of squad of bayonets. 1t
ignores the Chief Magistrate of the I'm.
tied States. 1t invests a general with
ABSOLUTE power over one.third of his
countrymen. 1t erects subordinate die.
tators, armed with unbridled power,
from the Potomac to the Rio Grande.
Throughout this broad domain, compri.
sing the fairest and most fertile section
of the Republic, no man is to have a Sc.
cure title to his property; no mans
house is free from search; no mans chat.
tells exempt from seizure; no mans lib
erty unexposed to assault; no mans life
safe from peril. An army officer, a sol
dier, exalted above the law, may ruth
lesssly invade citizens home and drag
him from the bosom of his family Such
bill makes a mockery of free instltu.
tions. 1t despises all the great safe
guards of popular liberty. 1t tram.
Piles on the freedom of the press. 1t
annhilates the right of free assemblage.
1t silences the lips of free speech. 1t
infrinSes the right of the people to bear
arms. 1t wipes out the guaranty OF
grand jury preseutment' 1t aboishes
the exemption Of freedom from seizure
and from search. 1t abrogates the
right OF trial by jury OF ones peers in
the vicinage of the commission of the
alleged ofcnse. 1t tramples upon the
prerogative of the President, it makes
war upon the Constitution, it rebels
against the authority of the Supreme
Court. 1t invades the sacred constitu.
tioual rights Of the citizen. 1t is trea-
son enveloped in the forms of law. 1t
is rebellion wearing the garb of jegiti.
mate power. 1t is usurpation assuming
the sanctty of constitutional enactment.

RIDGwAY, FEB. 22nd, 1865.
Mr.. Editor 1T is unnecessary for any
true American, native or naturalzed to be
told that to day we celebrate the anniversa
ry birthday of him, Of whom it may be said
Scep trum tyrannis eripuu the
immortal Washington. Immortal not alone
for his brilliant achievement in war, though
forming themes upon which the historian
may dlate, and the soldier vainly endeavor
10 emulate not alone Immortal tor the un-
heard of sufferings, he uncomplainingly
bore, in body and mind, thu ough the long
and weary cropping for Liberty in the days
of l776. Not only immortal for these, but
for the bright example Of wi sdom, plety
and moderation he set for coming genera
ations. Wise, without pride; pious, with
out ostentation; moderate, not lacking
proper and just appreciation of himself, he
stood fearless aud unapproachab'e the
bravest of the brave and wise among doc
tors. Among master minds, he directed
and where brave men faltered il was Wash.
ing who sustained. Caesar refused the
thrice offered crown, in public that his ac'
ceptance at last, might seem compulsory.
Washington refused crown, and even deI
clined being the Executive for q longer pc
riod than eight years. Caesar died tyrants
death, and was execrated as tyrant by
the people which he had made the rulers of
the globe. Washington died a Christians
death, and his people mourned him as their
father. The grave of the one Is in the blood
of conquered nations the grave of the other
in the heart of the world. What more fit
ting time than now sincerely to invoke the
spirit of Washington War has ceased, it is
true the sword has been sheathed but it
seems none the less ready to spring from its
scabbard. Let us hope however, that the
counsels of Washington, and his compatri-
OTIS whom we love and reverence may be
needed let us hope for the speedy return
of peace and good will that another return
of this anniversary nay see the hands re.
II moved, which would dim the lustre of our
constellation and, fratIicidal, break the
bonds knit by the hands of Washington.

REPUBLICAN PICTURE OF CONGRESS- -
A Washington correspondent writes to the
New York Post:
" The Republicans are by no means un-
tied. A part of them, in both Houses, do
not really desire to complete any practical
method Of reconstruction. They mean to
keep the Southern States out, as long as
they can, to treat them as harshly as pos
sible, to force through Congi ess measures
which shall increase instead of diminish
the divergence between the President and
Congress. These men oppose the Blaine
smendment to the military bill, and insist
on the passage of the military hill alone.
The violent and extreme Republicans in
both Houses exercise an influence dispro-
portioned to their numbers, by reason of
their yirulence and intolerance. They de-
nounce as a copperhead every Republican
who offers TO differ from them, and exer-
else really system of terrorism, which has
broken down the Independent judgment of
very many, and makes some of the ablest
men in the House and Senate so anxious TO
avoid their prescription, that they are ST.
lent or acquiescent in measures which their
judgment condemns"

A. r is on hand with another lot of
problems, and the following solution

Ar. Editor Our friend viii wants a So
luton for Ostrandors Problems No. so and
81. Then let him suppose A had $780,
subtract it from thousand, then four
times the remainder (1G00) will be the
amount B and c must have to correspond
with the suppo sition, then by Double Po-
sition to find BIS corresponding sum S700)
10 and 720 are very convenient for suppo-
sitious, then one-sixth of the amount of AS
and BIS sums added to the nine hundred
left for c must make a thousand, the diff
ference (l16 and four-sixths is the first err
ror, then to find the second error (27 and
three-sixths suppose it had 1920, and pro-
ceed the sam, as above, then if Will is IA
miliar with Double Position he can't fail
in finding AS true sum S626 and eighteen
one hundred and sevenths. Subtract AS
sum thus found from thousand, then four
times the remainder 1895 and thirty y-fve-
one hundred and sevenths is the true
amount af BIS and C's sum, then by Dou
bic Position to find BIS sums S7l9 and six
ty-seven-one hundred and sevenths 120
and 125 are the most convenient supposi-
tions, then subtract BIS sum from the
amount of BIS and C's sums, and the re-
mainder (175 and seventy-fve one hun dred
and seven is the amount of C's purse.
Our friend Will is getting to be almost a
match for Devil Joe and as have given
Jas think the most convenient supposi-
tions to solve No 81. | would be pleased
if Will would send me the most convenient
ones to solve, No. 81 as both problems can
be solved by the same process,
Four men enter into partnership aud
gain sum of money Of which A, c and D
took Sl20; B, c and b took $3.50 c, D
and A took $3.50; and D, A and Sl4O
How much was each ones gain separately !?
If eight rails fence one rod in length
how large must that square of land be that
