How does Judge Pitzer like the
" treaty stipulations" entirely null
and void, because disapproved at head
quarters-which he told the Gold Hill
Democratic Club the Republican party
had violated their pledges and faith In
keeping with the people Of the South -?
We repeat, that the only stipulations
having the color Of law or authority,
which were entered into by Sherman
and Johnston, was the n we published
on Saturday, and which has been strictly
observed by the Government, and the
Republican party. Judge Pitzer is q
lawyer, land q bully n at that, but IN
going into Court to clear q client
charged with having committed a felony,
no would hardly attempt to quote an
Act passed by both branches Of q iegls-
lature, but vetoed by the Executive, rs
being a bona tfde law, and that the jury
must be governed in their verdict by
such nullifed Act or Bill for q law. His
position before the Democratic Club on
Friday night, on this proposition, indi-
Gated that "every thing goes in poll
tics, from q Democratic standpoint. We
don't think that the Judge has set us
right much. The world moves.

ASswER.-Our amiable friend Judge
Pitzer has yet got "the wrong bull BY
the horns," as we will presently prove
by further documentary evidence. We
admit that the foregoing stipulations
were agreed upon between Sherman and
Johnston, when Johuston's army was
whipped and completely demoralized
but both the Generals, as will be seen in
the last paragraph, distinctly made this
condition /: "not being fully emf ow-
cred by our respective principals to full
fill these terms, we individually and Of
fcially pledge ourselves to promptly OBJ
tain necessary authority, and to carry
out the above programme" And by
referring to the history Of the Re-
bclliou again, we find that the above
stipulations amounted to just so much
blank paper, for General Sherman had
no authority to make them, and when
they arrived at Washington they wero
disapproved and General Sherman noti-
fed to that effect. We copy from the
official documents:
This was at once made public, accompanied
with the following statement from the Secretary
of War. Mr.. Stanton:
This proceeding Of General Sherman was unap-
| proved for the following among other reasons:
LIT was an exercise Of authority not vested
- "a. a. AhaN
both he and Johnston know that he (Sherman) had
no authority to enter into such arrangement.

Effects OF Light on Vitality.

The Texas Lunaiic Asylum.

la company with Mr. Walker,
the proprietor 0f the Gazette, NE
paid visit, last Saturday, TO the
Lunalie Asylum, about two miles
from the city, Tie grounds are
beautiful at this season Of the year,
containing an abundance and var
icty OF roses, pinks and other how-
ers, We were very politely received
by the present Superintendent, Dr,
Graham, who afforded us every
facility for observing tho grounds,
the building, aud It's unfortunate
inmates. These, We were informed,
now number sixly,fve; being about
equally divided with both sexes,
the number of tho young, however
exceeding the old. There aro but
three colored persons, no adequate
provision being made for them as
yet, The Institution is full, while
IL Is known from statistics that but
n fraction ofthese poor unfortunatcs
in the State are thus provided for.
As soon as means can bc afforded,
the building should be enlarged; It's
present size being only about ono.
fourth ofthc original design. Even
then il will not furnish sufficient
accommodation for tho increasing
wants of our great State, and an.
other Asylum should be built in its
eastern portion. Some large States,
we are told, already have three or
four. The money which this would
require could hardly be devoted to

From all wecan learn, and from what

means now afforded, to make all
his patients as comfortable rs
possible, and effect speedy cure and

MARRIAGE EXTRAORDINARY.-A
few days since, when it was raining,
and hailing, and showing, and the
weather was as bad as it could be,
two families, consisting Of a father
and six children from five to
eighteen years of age, and of Il
mother and six children from five
to eighteen years Of age, the father
q widower and the mother a widow,
made their appearance on Church
Hill. The party went to the door
of a physician and inquired where
Father Courtney lived. They were
informed that Father Courtney had
passed from earth about two years
since, and it was hoped and believed
that he was in Heaven. The old
gentleman then asked where n
preacher could be found, and said
he and the old lady, at the head Of
one of the families of six, had walk
cd six miles in the rain and snow
and sloet for the purpose of getting
married, and were determined to
have the knot tied before they re-
turned home. They were directed
to the house of the Rev. A. b. Dick
cnson, and told that he would per-
form the ceremony for them sec
undem drtem. The procession went
to Mr.. Dickcnson's house and rang
the bell. A servant looked out and
reported to Mr.. ID. that a party of
beggars, a large party, was at the
door.
Mr.. d. came down and was
agreeably surprised to learn that
his services were required to SOL
emnize the rites ofmatrimony. The
parties were invited into the parlor
and requested to take their positions.
When they "fcll in " it happened a
blooming daughter of the old lady
was next the old gentleman, and the
minister was proceeding to marry
her to her prospective step.father.
"Hold on, hold on" she cried, sit
is not me that wants to get married;
it is mother" The mistake was cor
rected, the ceremony was proceeded
with, and the old gentleman and
old lady were made zone flesh. !"
When the ceremony was over the
old gentleman asked the minister
what his charge was. Mr.. ID. replied,
81 make no charge" The happy
bridegroom thereupon took a 81
note out of his pocket and told him
to pay himself out of that After
getting his change the head of the
two families which had been united,
called his children, twelvein num-
Der, up, and the procession marched
off homeward contented and happy.

RESIGNATION OF THE ENGLISH
MINIsTRY.-London, May 5.-Min-
istry resigned.
D'Israel proposed compromise
until after election on Reform Bill
but Lord Stanly and Earl Malsbury
refuse to serve under D'Isreali.
The Queen refuses DIsraclis res
ignation. The dissenting members
of the Ministry agreed under the
circumstances to continue in office.
Parliament was to be dissolved in
autumn when the new franchise bill
comes into operation,
The Ministry refused to consider
the proposed compromise Of D'Isra-
eli until after the election on the
reform bill had been acted upon,
but Lord Stanly and Lord Malsbury
refuse to serve under D'Isracli.
The Queen sent for Gladstone.
Gladstone said in the House it was
unprecedented for a Ministry beaten
by Is majority to think of dissolving
Parliament. The Premier's course
was unconstitutional The House
was hostile to the Ministry. The
duty of the Liberals was clearly to
follow up it's resolves by action.
John Bright said D'Isracli asked
the House to reverse the constitu-
tional usage that he might keep an
office gotten by acts not the most
worthy. D'Israeli asked why the
House had not passed the vote; it
was for want of confidence.
The debate on the Irish Church
question was fixed for May 7th.
The new Ministry had not yet
been formed.
