VALLEY ITEMS.

From our Valley exchanges we clip the
following items:-
Mr.; Bushrod Buckley, residing in Clarke

negroes have died in that place and its imme-
date vicinity"

"swest fields arrayed in living green
And rivera of delight

And rivers OF deugh,
that presented themselves, have caused him
to pitch his tent on the other side, sin the
happy land of Canaan"
Very near him, and on the same row OF
seats. is one who answers admirably King
Johns description of Hubert, whom he had
EMPLOYED to destroy the eyes of the young
Prince Arthur
ga fellow by the hand of nature marked,
Quoted and signed, TO do a deed OF shame"
He is familiar to our readers, and it is not
necessary that his name should be mentioned,
or minute description given, to cause his
recognition. The animal which he per-
sonates, is the great Gyasticutis, the King of
the Rascals At the bar he is blusterer-
as politician, he is the ne Plus ultra of cor
ruption and fraud. He it is who wears the
Senatorial robes, and struts in the light of his
own shadow, self satisfied only when his con-
fused brain is concocting some mischief to
rebels.
There is another specimen, who deserves
especial mentiOa, not because he is OF any
account, or that his brilliancy will ever be
likely to set the river on fire, but because he
has leaped into position for which he is total
ly urftted. He was q tad-pole once and
waggled his tail in the cess-pools of corrup-
ton, but since shedding his caudle appendage
and assuming the vaster proportions of the
bull frog, true to his instincts, he has jumped
up little higher, and unbecomingly wears
the Senatorial robes. In his capacity as
Senator, he generously rendered to Congress
the services of the West Virginia militia to
aid in squelching the President. This mill
tary achievement, in which of course he was
to be central figure, holding the rank ofaid
to his excellency the Governor, brings to
remembrance the character in the old song
ga hull-frog dressed in soldiers clothes,
Went out one day to shoot some crows,
The crows smelt powder and all flew away
And the bull-frog had no sport that day"
indicative of certain degree of humility,
but radicalism has transformed what nature
designed for meekness, into mirror of de-
ccption, and in every lineament may now be
traced the marks of treachery. He edits or
assumes to do SO, the Berkeley Dis Union,
and his sheet, like himself, is an index of
nothing, narrowed to point"
Space compels US to desist for the present.
We did want to make a brief notice of other
characters who go to make up the emigrant
train" but we must defer it to more con-
vcnientseasou. The Show is now open, how
ever, aud wind and weather permitting, we
shall give a weekly exhibition of such of the
menagerie as have failed to appear in this,
our grand opening entertainment.

Can Grant be Arrested.

The Chicago Times calls attention to po-
we'll starte the people of all sections. 1t is
that General Grant cannot be tried by court
martial. By the articles of war a court-martial
must be composed SO as to include among its
members some of the same rank of the ac-
cused.
The Times continues The very most
that the President can do is to issue an order
placing Grant under arrest. This arrest
would be only nominal, in many respects.
Like the arrest of any military officer, it
would involve no confinement. If Grant
were placed under arrest he would be simply
deprived of his command. Even this would
amount to but little; for if at twenty days no
charges were preferred against him, he would
be entitled to resume his position. That
there could be no charges preferred, is evil
dent from the fact that there is no tribunal
with which the complaint can be lodged.
1t follows from this state of things that in
Grant the nation has an official who is abso-
lutely beyond all responsibility. The mem
bers of the Supreme Court may be reached,
in case of official misconduct, by Congress.
The President is always amenable to the SEN
ate through charges which may be preferred
by the House. From the President of the
United States down to the village revenue
inspector, there is, in all this country, no one
who is irresponsible save Ulysses S. Grant.
Now, what is despotism? 1t is the pow
er of a despot. What is despot? One
who governs with unlimited and irresponsi-
BILE power. A despotism is form Of gov
eminent in which one rules unchecked by
constitution or laws. Is there any constitu
ton or law which check Grant none what
ever. He is above all constitution and laws,
for he is absolutely unknown to either.
If definitions have any value, if language
may be depended on, then has this country
fastened upon itself despotism as absolute,
as autocratic, as arbitrary and irresponsible
as the Government of China. While pro-
fessedly in advance of all other enlightened
governments, we have in reality, placed our
selves under system as tyranical and as au-
tocratic as was ever known in days when ma
tons entrusted single men with their lives,
property and destiny.
The only limitation which can be imposed
upon our despots is an arrest of twenty days;
and it is doubtful whether even time and
check would be submitted to by him who, in
the character of General, is the Gar of the
United States.

\ Farewell Shot.

Mr. Eustace Gibson, in the Chimpauzee
Convention on Saturday, discharged his Par
THAN arrow in the shape of the following res
olution, which, we need not add, was laid on
the table:
Whereas the convention was recently in
formed by the present Governor of Virginia,
General II. H. Wells, that all efforts to pre-
vent negro suffrage would be found to be
fighting against the obvious consent of Amer
lean sentiment, and contending against the
will of God, therefore be it
Resolved, That committee be appointed
to request his ezcellency to explain the recent
emphatic expression given by the people of
Michigan CHS adopted State) of their views
on this important issue, it being now stated
that majority of 10000 votes were cast
against negro suffrage in that State"
The Governor" probably fancies that the
Divine will earns little respect in Michigan
a belief in which many concur with him.

A correspondent ofthe Staunton Spec
tator says: A very singular fowl has visited
our vicinity, Gong Glade, Augusta county,
Va,) supposed to belong to Barnum's Gel
ebrated Museum. 1t appears to be very
fond of water, its size is between that of a
large duck and a goose,-bill is round and
sharp-pointed, and is about four inches in
length. Its neck is like green velvet with a
brilliantly speckled ring around it. Its eyes
arc perfectly red; it has white spots on the
back and wings, and from tip to tip it will
measure about four feet. 1t was captured by
Mr. Jacob Shreckbise on his premises, and
can be seen there at any time. Though it
appeared somewhat pugnacious when cap
tured. it soon exhibited signs of being pet
1t occasionally utters a mournful sound like
that of a lost child. Old uncle Ben (colored)
thinks it is an emissary of sold Scratch"
and belongs to the Ku Klux.

SETTING A Coon ExAMPLE.-We are
glad to notice that the New York Times has
the dccency to give place to the following
paragraph in its editorial columns:
The single murder of Mr.ooAshburn in
Georgia has called out the prompt and stern
application of military force. In the vicinity
of Selma, Ala, five white men, once of the
rebel army, have been murdered and no ar
rests made. Has impartial justice anything
to do with the pacifcation off disturbed land
or is impartial suffrage supposed to be all
sufficient?
The Times sets a good example to its Rad
ical contemporaries by publishing the above,
but it is not likely that many of them will
follow it. They prefer to indulge in lauda-
tions of the negroes and wholesale denuncia-
ton of the white population of the South.

1t would seem by tho course that
the radicals In Congress have been
pursuing, that they regard the people
as fools that can be humbugged just
as they desire to have them humbug-
ged and deceived.
AT the last session Of Congress, In
order TO hun1bug and deceive the
people and gain new lestse OF pow
eF, the congress and heads Of depart
ulents cut down the estimates Of eX-
penses and the appropriations for the
present year. They not only did
this, but they removed the duties
from seyersa leading articles in COM
mon sas4, in order that they might
20 before the people and hnmbug
them into the belief that they had
reduced the expenses Of the Govern
u,ent O. 3ut 1t turns out that the
expenses go on ar tho old rate, and Ii
is now shown by the report OF the
Secretary of the Treasury that there
will be deficiency mt the end of the
year of ONE HUNDRED AMI
FIFTY FOUR MILLIONS,
THREE HUNDRED AND TfIIR.
TY NINE THOUSAND, TWO
HUNDRED AND TWO DOL.
LARS, which win have to be made
up By additional taxes or Increased
loans next year. The leaders Of the
radical party think the people are
fools and viii not discover this trick
and deception, and hence they lifi
from the people'sshoalders this year,
In order 10 carry the Presidential
election, sisi, g39, 202, and expect
after they have gained their parpose
to place 1t back again next year.
The people are not fools, and we
tell them the above truths and leave

shall direct,
