GEN. FRANK p. BLAIR.
His speech mt Pitfsburgh-He Denies
the Charge of Being Revolution

The following is from the conclusion
of Gen. FRANK P. BLAIR's speech at
Pittsburgh:
Again, the Constitution prohibits
Congress from passing bill OF attain
der, or &c post facto law. In defiance of
this provision of the Constitution-one
of the most important as guarding the
liberty, prosperity and life of citizen
Congress has passed bill of attain
der against whole States and communi-
ties, dcpriving them of their most sa-
cred rights of citizenship, degrading
and disfranchising them without any
charge-withOut any trial-without
any without any pre-
sentiment to Grand Jury-without
the verdict of a petit jury, but sim
ply by legislative enactment, deelar-
ing the offense, inficting the penalty,
aud executing their own judgment; and
that, too, upon an &c post factO law,
even made after the offense was COM
mitted. And, my fellow-citizens, are
those of US who denounce this violation
of the Constitution, this most impor-
tant and vital provision-vital to every
interest of every citizen of this country
are those of us who denounce this to
be charged as revolutionists or are
every safeguard of freedom contained
in the Constitution to be considered as
revolutionists In addition, the recon-
struction act takes from the President
all prerOgatives as commander and
general of the army and navy,
and places in his stead, with
the actual power of the President-the
General of our armies-the candidate
designated by the Radicals for the Pres
idency, who stands with the whole of
the army at his back, and his bayonets
at the throats of eight millions of white
people of the South, pinning them to
support him for the Presidency, and
submit to the domination of an alien
and semi barbarous race of blacks Z!
Are those who denounce the establish
ment of military despotism-are we
revolutionists, or are those who estab-
lish this despotsm upon the ruins of
the ceuntry-are they revolutionists
This same fragment of Congress has in
vaded the sacred precincts of the courts
of Justice, and robbed the Supreme Court
of the United States of the jurisdiction
lodged in its hands by the Constitution
to pass upon the constitHtionality of
the legislation of Congress, intimidat-
ing by threats and Oyerawing their de-
cisions. Are those who contend for the
restoration of the courts, for the consti-
tutionality and authority of the courts,
and the co-equal and coordinate
branches of the Government, against
the usurpations of Congress = are
we who denonnce and hold them
up to be called revolutionists, or
are they who stigmatize us, the
revolutionists [Cheers. hurl into
their teeth the charge of revolutionist.
l hold them up before the nation as rev.
olutionists and malefactors, that have
trodden under foot the Constitution
which they have sworn to maintain and
have made black perjury to their souls.
[Cheers.] They are revolutionists-
they are usurpers, and they have de-
creed against those who wish to restore
the Constitution, and with it the resto-
ration of peace and prosperity as hand
ed down by our taters. [Cheers.l

The Democrats of Triadelphia town
ship had spirited meeting at FRANK
WALTERS, on Saturday evening. LEWIS
LUN>FoRp, Esq, presided, and Mr..
RuoADS acted as Secretary. Messrs. A.
NJ. JACOB, Z. G. CRACRAFT and II.
5. WALKER were the speakers of the
evening. Mr.. JACOB confined his
remarks principally to a discussion
of our proscriptive legislation, which,
as 4 member of our last Legislature, he
firmly opposed. His remarks were
pointed, forcible and well received.
Mr.. Z. G. CRACRAFr's speech was
loudly applauded and highly commend
"a, Mr.. c. is quite young man, an
earnest and eloquent speaker, and will
undoubtedly make his mark in the his
tory Of our State.
Mr.. WALKER concluded the exercises
by discussion of some of the State
and National issues. The meeting was
well attended and great enthusiasm
prevailed Triadelphia township may
be relied upon for one hundred Demo-
cratic majority.

A Tesns Duel OIL Horseback.

The Corpus Christi 4drertiSer has
from a correspondent these partic-
ulars of bloody and fatal affair which
took place on the west side of the river,
above Oakville, on the 22d ult., be-
tween Mr.. Henderson Williams and Sic
Brown, about some beeves that were
turned into q herd against the wish of
Williams. The latter claimed authority
over said beeves, as partly his own and
partly those for which he held agcn-
cies.
Some angry words occurred at first,
which eliminated in the drawing of
weapons, which were heavy dragoon
six shooters. Both parties being
mounted, at each successive shot they
charged up closer to their dreadful
work. The firing was rapid, and the
combatants became enveloPed in the
smoke of their weapons, which Tapped
together on the last round. Mr.. Browns
firing was wild, owing, no doubt, to the
fact that he received mortal centre
shot from Williams first fire, although
he sat on his horse firmly, until shot the
third time through the body, which en-
tering the heart, he fell corpse on the
instant. Williams was unhurt, but his
horse was shot in the head, and was
fractions and unruly during the fight.
Both parties had numbers of well-armed
friends on the ground, but no assistance
or interference was offered, and the is-
sue was fairly and squarely tested. Both
men were undoubtedly brave to the last
inch, such as would do honor to any
cause, right or wrong. But it is sad,
very sad thing indeed, that men forty
years of age must draw their weapons
to decide questions of property.

A Nice Duck !

General KILPATRICK, of New Jersey,
who was noted for drunkenness while
in the army, and whose conduct for two
years past as Minister to Chill has
brought the blush to the cheek OF every
American-.whoh has been openly charged
by American residents there, with liv'
ing with a courtesan, was one otthc big
guns at the Radical soldiers Convention
held at Philadelphia. While there
in a speech, he denounced FRANK T.
BLAIR as a "scoundrcl and traitor" kIL-
PATRICK is a nice duck to assail such q
man rs BLAIR, who by his courage
saved Missouri to the Union, who COM
manded Que of SmERMAN's corps with
distinguished gallantry, and whose only
crrrne now is that he believes he fought
to restore the Union-nOt to destroy it.

Saturday could doubt that the same
high courage and unbending determine
tion which he displayed while fighting
as a soldier in behalf of the Unisn, will
be manifested by him as a statesman,
standing up for the Constitution of the
Republic, when he shall have been ex-
allied to the second place in the gift of
the people.
While here General BLAIR was visited
by many of our leading citizens. He
received their calls in the MeLure
House parlors. Speaking of the great
political contest now going on, he
evincea the utmost confidence in the
triumph of the party which he so well
represents. He had travelled over q
great portion of the country in the last
four weeks, and found everywhere the
same unmistakeable evidences that
the people are sick of Radical rule,
and will, in November, ratify the Dem
ocratic national nominations.
General BLAIR left on the afternoon
train over the Central Ohio for Cincin-
natl, where he addresses the people to-
day.

Registration.

A session of the Board of Registration
for Ohio County, will be held to-day.
We call upon every qualified voter,
whose name has not yet been enrolled
to present himself at the Court House
fer registration. There are said to be
many such in this city, who through
absence or other causes, were unable to
be registered by the Township Regis
trars. All such can have their cases
heard by applying to the Board to-day.
A considerable number of voters were
registered for the first time, jast prior
to the last city election. Every such
voter must be re-registered, as the
township Registrars did not use or copy
the city books in making up their lists.
The Board have already decided, as we
learn, that every voter of this class,
whose name is not now enrolled, will
be promptly registered on application.
We presume that no effort will be
spared to secure to-day the registration
of every qualified and unregistered vot-
er in this county. The opposition have
been steadily at work, and for reasons
which it is not now necessary to name,
have probably taken advantages OF op-
portunities and facilities heretofore pre-
sented, and secured the registration of
about their entire strength. The Demo-
Gratis must not be behind in the matter of
diligent exertion. If we first enroll
our vote we can poll at the coming
election q, Democratic majority in this
county largely in advance of any past
success. To do this should be our aim,
and if we put forth the proper effort we
will certainly achieve the desired re-
suit.
The Radical talk of decreased Dem
ocratic majority is mere throwing Of
dust. If they can, by their policy of
boasting, cause our friends to abate
their exertioas, their purpose Will be
ACCOMPLISHED. We call upon our friends
not to be misled in this way. Let no
Radical prophecies cause you for one
moment to relax your efforts. For
three successive years, the Radicals
have proven by calculation" their
ability to carry this county. The re-
suit of each succeeding election has
shown an increased Democratic MAORI
ty. So it will be at the coming elec-
ton, if the Democrats so will.
We learn that number of persons
have been summoned to appear before
the Board to-day, and establish their
right to vote. We trust that no person
who has been selected for disfranchise-
ment will permit his name to be strick-
en- off by default, but that every one so
summoned will appear to-day prepared
to establish his right to the ballot
Present yourselves, and see to it that
fair trial is had in each case. Your
right to participate in one of the most
important elections orr country has
ever seen, may depend upon your pres
ence and earnest defence before the
Board to-day.

Mary Hulburt, from whose body ply

ten years, at least one thousand needles

IT is not so pleasant for the laborers
and taxpayers to witness the constant
growing of the public debt, and know
that with the increase of the debt must
come q higher tariff and additional rev.
enue burdens. Nor is their case allevi-
ated in the least by the reflection that
the increase of debt and taxation will
not be felt by the bondholder, whose
investment in bonds is privileged from
all taxation, and that the increase OF
both debt and taxation arises from the
persistent party effort to make the ne
groes of the Southern States participants
with the whites in the government of
the United States.

In confirmation of the well-known
outrage imposed upon the South, read
the following from recent speech OF
General THOMAS EWING, in regard to
Arkansas:
"He said he knew the Governor, the
two Senators and the Chief Justice of
that State. When the war bro Ike out
the Governor was a strong secessionlst,
and we're the Palmetto badge. One OF
the Senators was sutler in our army,
and had smassed a large fortune by
gouging Union officers and soldiers out
of their pay; the other had fled from
Kentucky, in 1861, after embezzling
$4,000 belonging to a client; while the
Chief Justice went to Arkansas from
Kansas, deserting his wife and three
children, and marrying a woman down
there. These were specimens sf the
officers that were furnished the people
of Arkansas under the rule of the Rad
ical system"

Curious Tree.

In the rear of the store of Mr.. James
Lipscomb, on Franklin street, there Is
a tree, the growth of which is almost as
rapid as Jacks bean stock. 1t came up
a volunteer about three months ago,
and is now fifteen feet high. The cur
ious feature about it is it's leaves, which
are shaped like those of the palm, OF
which fans are made. They are two
feet broad and the same in length.
Their stems are as large as the ordinary
reed, and, like the reed are hollew. A
number of the curious have examined
it, but none have been able to tell what
manner of tree it is.

The Grecian Bend.

This classical pobe has succumbed to
the storm of ridicule which it has excit-
ed. The Grecian bend, Saratoga style" d"
cut in black profile and exhibited in the
windows, might have been borne. But
for weeks past, the leading thorough
fares Of New York and other larger cit
les, have been beseiged by boys, yelling
at the top of their shrill voices, " Here's
the Grecian bend, only five cents" /"
That, we imagine, will be the last Of the
Grecian bend.
