under the law of Maryland relating to
negro apprentices, with those required by
tho law of Maryland in indentures for
the apprenticeship of white persons, the
variance is manifest. The petitioner un.
der this indenture is not entitled to any
education. A white apprentice must be
taught reading, writing and arithmetic
The petitioner is liable to be assigned and
transferred at the will of the master ID
any person in the saue county. The
white apprentice is not Fable to the au,
thority Of the master. The petitioner i:
described in the law as property and
interest; no such description is applied
to the authority over white apprentice
1t is unnecessary to mention other par.

q Such is the case regret I have been
obliged to consider without the benefit oi
any argument iu support of the claims oi
the respondent to the writ but have
considered it with care and an earnest de.
sire to reach right conclusions. For the
present l will restrict myself to a briei
statement of these conclusions without
going into the grounds for them. The
time does not allow more. 8 The follow,
ing propositions seem to me to be sound
and they decide the case: {: a fi
First, The first clause of the thirteenth
Amendment of the Constitution of the
United States, interdicts slavery or invol'
untary seryitude, except as punishment
for crimes, and establishes freedom as
the constitutional right of all persons in
the United States. E,... as9sr
Second, The alleged apprenticeship in
the present case, is involuntary servitude
within the meaning of these words in the
amendment al -el ,.'t ..,5,.
Third, Ii this we're otherwise, the in.
denture set forth in the return does not
contain important provisions for the Sc
curity aod benefit of apprentices, which
are required by the laws of Maryland III
the indenture of white apprentices and
therefore in contravention of that clause
of the first section of the civil rights law,
enacted by Congress, April 9th, 1866,
Fourth, The law having been enacted
under the second clause of the thirteenth
amendment, the enforcement of the first
clause of the same amendment is consti.
tutional, aud applies to all conditions pro.
hibited by it, whether originating in
transactions before or since the amend,
ment. -.r.....-
Fifth, Coiored persons equally with
white persons are citizens of the United
States. The petitioner, therefore, must
be discharged from restraint by the res,
pondent. .

ex-rebels demand to be registered under
it and are refused The Supreme Cour
decides that they may be registered and
vote. They are permitted to vote by au
thority of the President, sworn to see
that the laws are faithfully executed
But such voting is against the law oi
Congress, and the President is impeach
ed for authorizing plain violation Of
the law. There is again no alternative
but submission or resistance. There is
certainly no equal supremacy The
truth again is, that the will of Congress
must prevail despite the President and
the Supreme Court, or the Jupreme Court
is the real Legislature.
1t was this combination of the Execu'
tive and the Supreme Court upon which
the leaders of the Democracy relied ten
years ago to secure the nationally of sla.
very. They were sure that the opposi-
sition could not obtain two>thirds ma
jority in Congress, and they everywhere
declared that decision of the Supreme
Court settled finally and forever the con.
stitutionality of law. Therefore Bu~
channan in his inaugural announced the
Dred Scott decision. When it came, the
New York Erpress and the other slaves
of the slave-power insolently asked
What are you going to do about it 2"
Mr.. Douglas asked Mr. Lincoln the same
question upon their stlmping contest
through Illinois. Mr.. Lincoln as
usual, answered for the intelligence and
conscience and determination of the
country in replying that the decision of a
court might be..reversed asd ec;sions often
had been.
If Congress shall think it wise to i'm !.
peach the President, after having pro-
vided for the suspension of oil impeach
ed officers pending their trial, there will
be no letter of the law even upon which
the President could hope to justify, re.
sistance. Resistance would be mere rev.
olution Even if he pleaded that he
was prosecuted for opinions sake-which
would be ludicrously untrue there
would be no course for him but submis>
Sion or resistance. All that Congress
and good citizens can do is to take care
that he has no excuse for violence. For
the violence itself, however, they ought
to be prepared. If it is not attempted it
will be chiefly because it is anticipated.

Democracy" and yet keeps Democratic
fingers out of the Treasury.
Indeed, what right is there to expect
peculiar honesty of party which shouts
and sneers with contempt at amora
ideas ?" Why should the people Of New
York, or af any State, anticipate integ,
rity in the management Of public affairs
from party whose leaders preach repu
diation openly with Mr.. Pendleton, oi
stealthily and tentatively in magnifying
the debt as crushing, and paralyzing, and
iihsupportable, with Mr.. Sanford E.
Church ? Men who constantly enlarge
upon the horrible opppressiveness of tax
ations upon the awful ps;es of bread, and
upon the pinching aud starving of the
workingman's wife and children, but who
have nsver word to say Of the blessing
that was bought with that price, and
the inealcnlable advantage to every
working man which was secured by the
war which he, is taxed to pay for, is a
man who is willing that the word should
be said which he does not say, and the
debt ropudiated whose repudiation he
does not verbally advise. talt bs8gias
The Democratic party will promise re-
trenchment, reform, and all the cardinal
virtues as their policy. Having heard
their pratestations, let every voter lock
at their history aud at the character aud
views of men whom they can not shak e
off as leaders, because their, hold is vital
men like Pondleton and Valandingham.
Let every voter consider the tendency OF
Democratic supremacy everywhere, if ha-
tired of equal rights, its servllity to ig>
norance and prejudice, and then de,
termine whethea this is the party from
which political purity is to be expected.

Democratic Orator Confounded.

We are informed that village in one
of the +" backbone" Democratic counties
was the scene of funny incident few
evenings slice, whereby a Democratic ora.
tor was utterly coutounded and brought
to grief by men of his own party. The
circumstances are as follows:
He had told them how the rich bond
holder had reduced them to slavery in
despite of the efforts of the Goddess of
Liberty and several other personages,
both human and celestial, till then uu
known to the audience. He quoted ex>
tensiveiy from George Francis Train S
" demagogue" speech, and among other
things the following: .....
90 Work. work work
From the dawn to the dusk OF day,
Fer your hopes crushed with weight OF debt,
That the toll Of your life won't pay p
Having wrought up his hearers almost
to mutiuy, he left that branch of his sub.
ject, and proposed to show up some of
the Republican leaders, beginning with
Ben Wade. Z" Why, fellow citizens

vided SO that every man will have an
equal share" [1hundering applause.

Il Deafening applause, and yells of
" Good for the Radicals w Bully for

The speaker was thunderstruck. Evil
IDENTIFY, his hearers had never, heard much
of Ben Wade and the Radicals. They
had been we'll stirred up against the rich,
and they thought that radicalism was a
species of democracy, of which Ben Wade
was the champion. ..

usd the speaker, f" | don't think you ex-
actly understand me. Ben Wade is the
Vice President, elected by the Radicals,
and he is himself a Radical, and an
agrarian land pirate to boot. Why, what
do you think He proposes to take the
rich mau's property, for which he toiled
in early life, and give it to those who
have no property, even to those who do
no work. What do you"
A voice: Three cheers for Ben
Wade p ,
And in spits Of all that two or three
village leaders, candidates for constable
and supervisor, could do, the crowd gave
three laundering cheers for Ben Wade
and the !" 'grarians," The orator, fud-
ing that he had got op the wrong track,
abruptly brought his remarks to close,
a lie, in that instance, made Ben Wade
several friends, yet we scarcely feel like
congratalating him on the acquisition.

vents it from even coroding, or turning from
its uniform whiteness, during any number OF

ances, as when it is once put up it gives you
no more trouble until the stakes or posts to
which it is attached rot down After using
it, we are confident you will fully corroborate
the statements of thousands of others in its
praise. Over 100000 lines have already
been sold, and every family should and will
have one. 1t Will not change though you
may keep it under water for any length Of
