Bss" The following from the Cincinnati Gazette, explains the extraordinary feeling against the Indiana express robbers, which led to their being lynched:-
 "Our readers have already been made aware of the many murders, house burn lngs, horse stealings, counterfeiting opera tlons, and daring express robberies, that have taken place near Seymour, Indiana. by the Renos, their companions and pu pills. Every effort made thus far by detec- tlves from other points, to weed out these murdering devils, has failed, Ill a measure. at least. Life and property have contin- ued at their meEcy. Within two years they have robbed the Adams Express Company alone of one hundred and twenty-five thou sand dollars. A robbery of this kind oc- cured also, lately, on the Cincinnati, Ham, ton and Dayton Railroad, where the Amer ican Express Company was robbed of large amount. All these robberies have emanated from the same source A family named Reno, living at Rockford, two miles from Seymour, have been the leaders or instigators of the whole of these daring outrages. They are also the parties who led the raid in Iowa last spring, when so many county safes were robbed.
 ''On the 22d of May last, the Adams Express Company's car was robbed, about eighteen miles from Seymour, on the line of the Jacksonville, Madison and Indian apolis Railroad. This robbery was done by the Renos and their friends, some of whom are now in Canada to avoid capture, and others are under arrest for this out rage. On the 10th instant, the Adams Ex- press was again attempted to be robbed, on the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, about thirteen miles west of Seymour. The armed guards of the company, how ever, repulsed the robbers, captured one, and wounded some of the others, two of whom have since been captured, and for the remainder large reward has been of fered.

BLAIR A CONFIsCATIONIsT.

Gen. F. P. Blair's farewell order to his corps, just previous to it's being mustered Out is document which can hardly be pleasing to his new supporters at the South. It is dated at Louisville, July II, 1865. After experimenting his men for their valor, he says: a,
 The order for your disbandment as you are we'll aware, has already been received, and nothing remains to be done to restore you to homes and families, except the for nal discharge from service. Your service demands better recognition at the hands Of the country you have aided to preserve, than mere words of applause. The Ro- mans made their conquering soldiers free holders in the lands they had conuuered. and as upon your return to your home you will find most of your occupations and em- ployments filled by adopts from civil life: and as the Government has vast tracts of vacant lands, which will be increased by tue war, the interest of the country and your own will concur in the apportionment Of these lands to your use and occupancv establishing citizen soldiery to maintain Internal peace and set foreign foes at defi- ance There is one other and most impor- tant consideration to which I will point your attention. Simultaneous with the breaking out of the Rebellion against our Government, war was made by one of the most potent of the European States upon the Republic of Mexico, under cir cumstances and with indications of such an unm1stakable character as to leave no doubt that the rebellion and the invasion of Mexico were but parts of conspiracy against republicanism on this continent < It was done at time when a conspiracy matched into life and nurtured into strength by the same maliel. influence required our power for it's suppression 1 and disabled us from making good the "Monroe Doctrine" which we had adopted and which our interests and honor were engaged to maintain. The time mas come when our power to maintain that principle comedies with our interest and our honor. 1t will be maintained. The whole con- spiracy, ln all It's parts must be frustrated. It will be fortunate for us and tue whole civilized world if our diplomacy, invigora- ted by our restored power, shall be able to re-establlsh the pr nciple so necessary to our safety and security. If that object can be obtained by pacific means, then soldiery Is at an end, and your sole business here- after will be to develope, enrich, and inn prove our great country. To that end our soldiers should be provided with home steads, and ln no part of the country would they fare better or would they be more useful than in the south, which they have redeemed. But if the folly and wickedness which first inspired the at- tempt to overthrow our great Republic, and the republican system in this conti- neAt should still prevail, and European desNAs continue to threaten us, by a t1anlMng movement on Mexico, you will be called on to complete your work.

The New Haven Register has turned up " Another Radical Outrage" right at home. It discovers that some infamous radical has been tampering with Webster's Dictionary. leaving out of the late editions a part of the original definition of the word " con- stitution." We unite with the Register in condemnation of this high-handed out rage. It is cowardly and mean, not to say brutal The only thing for the Register to do now, is to go right on and disregard the Dictionary entirely-as heretofore.
 Had the Register man in his examination of Webster's Dictionary investigated lit tie more closely, he would have discovered still another outrage. Not only Is part oi omitted, but no mention is made of tue different authorities upon the orthography of the word itself. In Blair's Rhetorlc'' it is spelled "Cons' u'sh'n." Of this Web ster makes no mention. Possibly because he died before Blair took the stump.-H. Post. sf1,,

@The following are the resolutions unanimously reported by the committee on Federal Relations of the General Assembly at its late session:
 Resotved, by the General Assembly of the State of Connecticut, That we recog- nize the American principle that all polit- ical power is inherent in the people, and that all free governments are founded on their authority and instituted for their benefit
 ResoIUed That among the great and es- sential principles of liberty and free gov ernment, is the undeniable and indefeasi- ble right of the people of every state to regulate the question of suffrage for them selves.
 Resolced, That the constitution recogni- zes the absolute equality of all the States in the Union, and that any violation of that instrument which tends to the depri- vation of state rights or the recognition of state inequality under the constitution is deprecated. .....
 Resolced, That while national honor re- qulres the payment of all public indebted ness in the utmost good faith to all credi- tors, not only according to the letter but contracted, we hold it to be the duty o1 Congress to reduce the rate of interest thereon whenever 1t can possibly be done.
 Resolred, That the integrity of the Un- ion depends upon the inviolability of the Federal constitution, which is the sole bond of the Union, and that while no single state can constitutionally declare itself out of the Union, no number of states collectively can so declare, either by their represeta- tives and senators in Congress, or by any other means. And if any state does so de- clare, 1t will be the duty of the general government, by any and all means, to pre- Vent such action, and by such legislation as may De necessary to restore such State to it's proper position Ill the Union.
