Death of the President Of TeuezueIn

Death Of the President Of Veaaczuela.-
Advices from Venezuela announce the
death of General Jose Tadeo Monagas,
President of Venezuela General Mona
gas was revolutionary leader for many
years, and was one of the most dreaded,
because the most popular among the peo-
pie Of all the prominent men in his coun-
try The New York Times, in giving a
brief sketch of his life. remarks that he
fought CALAMITY to secure the independ-
ence Of his country. and then led the first
revolted against its regularly elected Pres
ident, General Paez This instruction
was speedily put down. as were two others
which he instigated In 1910, however.
he was made President. but in 1916 set
himself up as dictator attacked the House
of Representatives, compelling his new
made friend. General Paez, to take arms
againis him. Monagas succeeded in sus-
tanning himself, and reigned supreme un-
til 1859. when he waz overthrown Man
uel Felipe de Tovas was his successor,
having been elected President but in 49,
81 Paez was proclaimed dictator. Mar
shall Falcon was elected Presideutin 1868,
and held Office until driven therefrom by
Monagas at the head Of an insurrectionary
airy. The death of this ambistious lead
er is likely to result in another revolution
before successor is chosen to fill the va
cant Office.

From the Register.

Mr.. Editor The time is short in
which any influence can be brought to bear
on General Stoneman to induce the con-
tinuance of the Stay Law. You will con-
cur with me, as will an overwhelming ma
jority of your people. that it ought to be
continued We all go down into bank
ruptcy and ruin together if We don't see it
extended, except the cormorants and vul-
lures and Shylocks to be found in every
community, who gloat over the necessities
of their fellows if it will put money in
their purses.
Urge your next County Court to ap-
point committee oftwo or more Of your
best men to wait on General Stoneman
and urge the necessity Of this course. -
I'LL the counties, or majority of them,
must do so through the Courts. as he will
pay no attention to private letters, it mat
tiers not how respectable the sourse from
which they eminate Please urge
through an editorial in your influential pa
per. on the Court to take this step. We
caunot delay else we are hopelessly gone

Chase VS.. Underwood.

On motion to quash Indictment against
Jefferson Davis, the Court was divided;
Chase for ending the farce by quashing,
and he the chief Justice, was opposed by
Judge John c. Underwood. So the de-
cisiou is to be certified to the supreme
court of the u S. fer its decision. The
motion goes to the vitals of the whole
case. A decision may require years, doubt
less will, and thus brualy imprisoned
and cruely tortured an old but brave and
great man, and the nation disgraced itself
in the preliminary arrangements to make
treason odious. The tricks of the trade and
the devices of the law, and it's delays are
interppsea and trial denied, although the
late CONSTITUTION decd, directs it. And
yetfhe State and stately prisoner is not dis
charged. The moral Ct all this is, that,
the only lawful way to punish us rebels is
most carefully avoided, trials according to
law with a fair hearing are Ignored, but
when possible, in every way that is mean
and base, we are put to the rack
Denied any and every right that will make
for the good of rulers political, pecuniary
or private, as a punishment. "Most wise,
most Just, most equitable ldps."

week, as we were Just going to press upon
its reception. We will either publish in next

two. 1t is spoken of as the ablest document
of the kind ever sent out by Mr.. johnson. =
When the message was communicated to Con-
gre-s, after gathering an idea of the tenor of
the document, the Senate attempted to apply
the gag rule by motion to dispense with
the reading Of the message, upon the ground
that it was an indecent attack upon Congress,
and adjourned pending the discussion Of this
extraordinary motion. The Presidents adhe-
renee TO his position on reconstruction is tho't
to be the great eontumacy. "Oh, most upright

CHOW We Apples SWIM"

We have seen it stated in one of our
exchanges that the Radical bob-tailed GEN.
tral committee of this State, in conjunc-
ton with several prominent gentlemen,
intended petitioning Congress to extend
the Niger Bureau, at least until after the
unreconstructed States shall have been
admitted, and that one fthe petitioners is
our former beloved friend, of run down
boot heel notoriety, L. Edwin Dudley, late
Massachusetts clerk for this county The
signers to the petition. as far as We are able
to learn, run thus: Gov. Wells, Gen
Wickham, L. Edwin Dudley, John Mi
nor Bolts &C.. &c. But we suppose Dud-
ley thinks he is as good an apple as the
rest, and he is not far from the truth, for
that luminary is not credited with an ex :
ira amount of sense, whilst Bolts and the
others are supposed to know better
What a degrading state of affairs it is
when the glorious old Commonwealth
the land Of Washington, is to be insulted
by such ignoramuses as this Dudley, and
whose behests are not only heard, but act
ed upon by the Congress Of the United
States for extended, in some form or 9TH
er, the Bureau will be, there is no doubt
That the south is over run by the car
petbag of-scourings of northern prisons,
is true, but we will venture the assertion
that to rake through, from Virginia to
Texas, more ravenuos, sneaking, scaler
louise can not be found battening on the
woes Of the down-trodden, than this same
thing, whose very name, to this communi-
ty. is suggestive of every thing that is low
and ireacherous.
