The trooly loil" conspirators who are
trying to convict Governor Baker of perjury,
find the testimony going very strongly against
them. That of Colonel Soulakowslzi, espe-
cially, is rather damaging to their case. This
gentleman is known to DO gallant soldier
and good and upright citizen. Yet the
carpet-bag conspirators declare, through their
lawyers, that they intend to procure the re-
lection of his testimony, on the ground that
by taking the oath to the Confederacy, he had
violated his naturalization oath. If anything
were wanting to nauseate the public with the
whole system of political oaths, it would be
these malicious prosecutions of gentlemen
like Governor Baker, by set Of vindictive
and grasping adventures; and the very cul-
mination OF sickening absurdity is reached
when the carpet-bag mendicants and " trooly
loil renegades presume to impeach the testi-
mony Of a gentleman whose simple word is
worth more than all the afidavits that they
could bring up in months persistent swear
ing. OF course nobody would think of argu-
ing the point of the admissability of Colonel
Soulakowskis evidence. The objection is too
frivolous and puerile to be even considered In
any respectable court. But the fact that it is
seriously urged is SO congruous with the
characteristic impudence of trooly loii "
carpet-baggery, that it surprises no one. It
is fast becoming proof OF political aud per-
sonal honesty to be selected as an object of
the prosecutions and assaults of the trooly
loil beings who have undertaken the task of
showing that Governor Baker and Colonel
Soulakowski are perurers and Villains

mount of time allowed for debate, and the
importance of the question before the
house. The desperation to which radical
ism is driven has been so glaringly dis
played in this impeachment business that
no amount of lying on their part can long
er deceive the people. They have made
impeachment an entirely partisan matter,
have strangled debate, have refused to re-
ceive protest against their action from
conservative congressman, and the judges
who are to try the president are pledg-
ed in advance for his conviction. Yet
this doughty general is tired of protracted
discussion!

DEMOCRATS should recollect that the
Spring election will soon be upon them.
and that every effort should be made to Sc
cure the success Of democratic principles.
The fact that the coming election is for un-
important Offices, should not have the effect
to render democrats listless and careless
on the contrary it should arouse them to
greater effort Everybody goes to state
or presidential election, but it requires
drumming to get people to attend town
ship elections. Let every democrat see
that no democratic voter stays at home
on account OF not knowing his duty.

THE BEAUTIES OF RECON
STRTCTIOH.

The beauties of reconstruction are dis
played just now in particularly noticea-
BILE manner. The difference 'twixt twee.
dle-dee and tweedle-dum has never been
more aptly illustrated than in the late ac-
tion of congress in relation to the admis-
sion of Alabama, and its prospective ac-
tion in relation to the admission of Flori-
da.
On Wednesday last resolution was
introduced into the rump pronouncing
the state of Alabama reconstructed, :"
under what is known a the Montgom cry
constitution. This constitution, it will be
remembered, was defeated in Alabama by
a maj GRITTY of about five thousand votes
That is to say, seventy thousand white and
black niggers voted for the constitution,
and seventy five thousand white voters did
not go the polls, which, ACCORDING to the
law, answered the same purpose as voting
in the negative, the law requiring ma
jority of the registered voters to adopt a
constitution. The rump will admit AL
ALBANIA under a constitution expressly and
decidedly repudiated by the lawful voters
of the state. 1t will, in this instance, as
in every other where the interests of mon
gre.ism may be subserved. violate its
plighted faith to the people of the south
it will eat its own words, and its consisten-
cy will be of piece with all its past actions
and an earnest of what may be expected
In the future. Instead of an intelligent
majority ruling, the runpites prefer a
loud-smelling minority Of african de-
scent. They think that the addition Of a
couple of RAIDS FROM Alabama to the
High Old Court" of impeachment, is
morsel too sweet to be lost.
But soft you now" the state of Flori-
da. The people of Florida have adopted
O constitution under the same law which
governed Alabama; the only difference be-
tween the two states being, that in lorida
the conservatives obtained control aid ad-
opted constitution by majority of the
registered voters, while in Alabama a rad
zeal minority was sufficient to attain the
same end Florida has elected conserva-
tive men to congress, and radical candi-
dates who were defeated are now in Wash
ington urging that the congressman elect
be refused seats, and that the admission of
the state into the union be indefinitely
postponed. Of course congress Will fol-
low the advice of these disappointed Office
seekers. Florida has committed the un-
pardonable sin of fulfilling the law, and
repudiating rad;calism in her choice of
representatives, and she must suffer the
penalty. The old-time regulations in re-
gard to the working of maiorities and mi
norities are being sadly mixed. The fol-
lowing is statement of congressional
"equal and exact justice to ALL" as dis
played in the states above named:
In Alabama, minority, composed prin-
cipally Of mokes, is sufficient for the ad-
option of constitution In Florida, a
majority of the voters, composed of white
men, is equivalent to the rejection of a
constitution.

and the thermometer on the wall declares
that the temperature is GO degrees above
zero. Surely this is no March weather
for this climate. The tall carnations and
sweetly scented hyacinths in my window
wave their beautiful flowers and shed their
delicious perfumes in breeze soft and
warm as that of Mays sunniest weather.
The clerk of the weather must surely
have made mistake and set us a season
ahead. Let us fervently pray that he may
not discover it soon enough to rectify his
error, by setting us back and killing all
the tender shoots and buds of our fruit
trees.
Yesterday the Methodists of Chicago
formally dedicated their new church, over
on Monroe street, above Morgan, which
was built with the proceeds of their cent
enary collections. 1t is q beautiful edi-
fee and cost over $4,000. Ofthis $685.
900 has been paid, and yesterday collec-
ton was taken up to aid in paying the
balance. To the honor of the generous,
handed men and women present, be
it said, the large sum of $4,000 was at
once obtained by voluntary contributions.
Eighteen months ago this congregation
had but $50 members. Now it has nearly
500 and can Justly lay claim to one of the
handsomest churches, the most powerful
organ, and the most sensational preacher
in the northwest.
Quite lot of sportsmen, generally of
the Wrinkle class, went out from Chicago,
to participate in "grand wolf hunt"
held on Saturday last by the inhabitants
of Lake county, ILL.,, and Kenosha Co.,
Wis. For several months past the farm
ers Of that section have suffered greatly
from the depredations of several wolves
who have taken up lodgings among their
fat pastures, and it was finally determined
to surround the animals, hive them, and
then give "no quarter" Five hundred
men joined in the sport, labored for a
whole day through mud and brush, fired
some thousands Of shots, saw three wolves,
all Of which escaped and succeeded in
bagging three rabbits, one prairie chicken
and one skunk. Several of my friends
said they were going to that hunt and

side by side, two sturdy Teutons, Stefani

ordered z1si beer, one being for his friend.
Did one have a sorrow, the other grieved.
Did one rejoice, the other was merry.
But in one point did they differ. Stefani

Yet, even there the dissimilarity was less
than one might suppose. For two years,

boundary to the affection of the two
friends, was as tender and consentiug to

good enough for him but rough on the
friend. At length Stefani discovered the
perfdy of his wife and frieE6 From the

ralists will be gratifed to know that the
famous house of Messrs. Hovcy & Nichols,
proprietors of the magnificent museum of
art and horticulture at No. 81, State

protesting modestly to be simply cata-
Iogue of the stock Of their immense estab-
lishment is, in reality complete botanical
compend, SO far as the wants Of the farm
err, the florist or the horticulture list
are concerned; at the same time, "a

culture of fruit, flowers, etc. 1t consists
of an hundred and twenty pages, filled
with the most valuable facts for guidance
and reference in all matters pertaining to
these subjects, the most complete cata-

c)es of ornamentation in iron, terra Gotta,

of America and Europe, and furnish them
at the lowest prices at which good seeds
can possibly be furnished. They also
