The radicals in congress have ceased t,

The radicals in congress have ceased to
pay any regard whatever to the constitution
of the United States, but go on passing acts
which, to the dullest comprehension, are plain
ly unconstitutional. Afraid that republican
supreme court viii be governed by the con-
stitution instead of the caucus. they now
propose to require twothirds of the court to
find an act of congress unconstitutional
and fearing that will not save their villain
Gus reconstruction acts they now propose to
forbid appeals to the supreme court in cases
arising under those acts. The second sec
ton of the thru article of the constitution o
the United States declares to what cases the
federal judicial power shall extend. The
second clause Of the same section of the
same article declares in what cases the su-
preme court shall have appellate jurisdiction.
No one with intelligence enough to compre-
bend the meaning of the article and sections
will assert that appellate jurisdiction is not
given to the court in cases which may arise
under the military bills. What, then, is the
bill of Stevens above referred to but a de-
claration that the provisions of the constitu-
ton defining the powers of the supreme
court are annulled? Can any party which
thus openly tramples the constitution under
it's feet sustain itself before the people

ern states will go for Mr.. Chase"

Three hundred and twenty thousand
and ninety dead of the Union armies now
lie buried within the national cemeteries
and along with them, the government has
gathered the bodies of twenty thousand SOL
diers of the Confederacy, and buried them
with like tenderness and care. These Gem
eteries will remain permanent memorials of
the patriot soldiers who freely died that the
nation might live. They will be frequented
to the latest generation by those who would
the better realize the price of restored Un-
ion +; and panegyric will never exhaust itself
over the voluntary sacrifices oe men who
gave life itself for the good of their posterity.
The cost of the completed national cemete-
ries will be three and half millions of dol
lars, half of which has already been expend
ed. Of the three hundred and fifty thousand
thus buried together, at least two hundred
thousand can be identified, extreme pains
having been taken to prove their real
names. The soldiers of the Union and of
the Confederacy thus lie side BY side. The
lesson inculcated by this burial act of the
government deserves to be universally heed
ed-that the grave heals and hides all traces
OF luminosity. Having conquered rebellion,
our soldiers and sailors harbored no hatred
against those who took part in it. 1t was
not personal or sectional hatred that inspir-
ed them, but love of the Union and its ines.
Unable blessings. The quiet grave covers
all passions from the view. Why cannot we
ta6e the hint from Nature, and learn to for.
give even as we hope to be forgiven? How
permanent can we expect the republic to be,
that rests on hatred and malignity for its
cornerstone? The dumb dead ON both sides

The n. Y. HeraIds Washington CORES

The n. Y. HeraIds Washington cores
pondent has published his views of the ''sit-
uation''as regards the radical nomination
for the presidency. Gen. Grant, he thinks
is used only as a cat -paw, and will be made
the victim Of misplaced confidence. 'Mr.
Chase represents fully the issue On the radi-
cal side, and his supporters are intensely &C.
tive, very determined, though cool, and pru-
dent, and more astute than the supporters of
Grant or any other aspirant for presidential
honors. Mr.. Chase's residence is the head
quarters of the radical republicans. The
politicians of that party, both black and
white, press round the Chief Justice, pay
special court to him far more than TO any
other candidate, and evidently regard him
as the coming man. His charming daugh-
ter, Mrs. Sprague, is the centre of the fash
ionable female politicians in Washington,
who are not less active than the men, and
who have undoubtedly great deal of influ-
ence. Mrs. Sprague may be regarded as the
Madame Recamier, Madame Roland or Mad.
anne Ialilen, DO not know whlch, and the
most splendid woman at the present time
amid the republican politicians and courtiers
of Washington. The ladies have made up
their slate for the presidential programme
and chances. They are hand in hand with
the southern radical politicians especially,
who surround them, and they have calculat.
ed to a certainty that the whole of the soutb.
ern states will go for Mr. Chase

A THIEVING CLERK.-Wm. Shell
low, as we learn from a gentleman
who arrived by yesterday mornings
train, has for the last eighteen months
been employed as clerk and salesman
in the store Of Mr.. @ N. Jerauld, of
Princeton, and possessed the utmost
confidence OF his employer. For the
last six months, however, Dir. der
aulds has found his cash short on sun
dry occasions, and certain goods were
missing without account Of sales.
The matter was mystery to Mr..
5Jerauld. who was 10th to suspect his
CLERK, in whom he had reposed such
unbounded confidence Tn the mean
while, the clerk had been buying
horses, aud, we believe, town proper
ty. The suspicion Of his employer
was at last aroused, and on Monday
evening, while waiting on a customer,
Shellow was arrested, and on search
ing his trunk goods taken from the
store were found, 10 the value Of $50,
and $500 10 money, mostly in small
bills and postal currency, supposed TO
have been taken in small sums and at
various times from the drawer. The
young man had an examination, and
was held to answer IN the sum of
81 900. This systematic robbery has,
it is believed, been going on for the
past six months.
