in kentucky have declared in his favor
as delegate at large to the National
Democratic Convention, as being a true
representative of Kentucky Democracy.
Let our Democratic Legislators formally
thank him for his services to the Demo

invitation to take Columbus in his way to
the Convention, being careful to- offer
him the hospitalities Of our Capitol in
stead of the Penitentiary, in order to
prevent unpleasant misapprehensions.

BOLD RoBBERY.-On Friday evening
last, Mr.. Rocker, (who resides about
one mile east of Hamden, lGeauga coun-
ty, with his wife and two neighbors, who
had called in for a friendly chat, were en-
gagged in a social visit, there was rap
on the door, which upon being opened,
there, rushed into the room three stran-
gers disguised, who by threats of violence
intimid ated the occupants of the house,
when they proceeded very leisurely to
take the cords from the bedsteads and
fasten Mr.. Rocker and the others. This
being accomplished, they deliberately
proceeded to make thorough search of
the premises, and wererewarded by find
ing some eighteen dollars only. In the
meantime, neighbor called and looking
into the window, concluded that all was
not as it should be. Notifying others in
the vicinity, who repaired to Mr.. RS.
found the family tied, but the thieves all
gone. They gave pursuit and the whole
party were arrested. They were taken
before Justice of the Peace, and in de-
fault Of bail committed to Geauga coun-

Representative Democratic General.
The Democracy don't like Union Gen
erals. They are unreliable as allies.
Grant was once nearly cursed with their
friendship, but he is now the incarnation
of evil in their eyes. Then Sherman
was their idol, but he gave them an un-
friendly kick at St. Louis, and they are
still sguirming and rubbing the sore spot.
Something was expected OF General
Meade, but he turned out worse than his
fellows. OF Hancock there was some
hope, but in the general disaffection OF
men wearing the federal uniform there is
no knowing what discouragjng news may
come any day from New Orleans. w
confess it is disheartening, but, IT the

why not try the gray? The ONO Dem

themselves to be courteous to their Will

not compromise with their consciences
by adopting resolution complimentary

portance of making correct returns, or rather
the danger OF perpetrating frauds upon the reve-

among several similar cases occupied the atten-
ton of the U. S. Court at its late term in Chica-
go, Judge Drummond presiding. tarG'
An Indictment preferred against Phil

for the year 1865, was given to the jury.
1t appeared that being called upon by
Asst: Assessor Holden for retuin, he
subscribed statement that his income
was less than $1,000. Subsequently he
received 4 letter without signature, but
Unidentified as having been written by a
Mr. Wheeler, upon the instigation of
Benz's brother, warning him that ''ves-
sci property" must be bad property, if
his return was correct. Thereupon he
made a return showing an incoms of ss;-

The Importance of the Supreme Court
decision in the Georgia and Mississippi
cases can hardly be over-estimated. The
ground taken by the Court that the mat
ter is purely political, and therefore not
within its cognizance, etfectually dispos-
es of all hope and fears of the Court in
terfering with the progress of Recon
struction. With the cases thus decided
fall to the ground all the cases brought
before it, or in preparation to. be so
.broughG, involving in any way the work
ing of the Reconstruction, acts. The
fact that the Court was unanimous in its
opinion on the principal involves it as
unexpected as it is gratifying. 10
Congress has been accused, of usur-
ping authority in its reconstruction policy
not conferred on it by the Constitution.
The Supreme Court decide that Congress
has exclusive authority in the premises,
What is more this decision conforms to
the doctrine held by Court on this class
of matters from the foundation of the
government. Congress has been, and is
still acting strictly within the limits of
its prerogatives and its assailants wish
to make new rules, in conflict with all
past precedents to suit their party ends.

Gongress,

EgThe principal feature of proceedings in
the House was the passage ofa bill from the
Banking and Currency Committee authorizing
State legislatures TO tax the shares of National
Ranks. The debate on the subject was conduct
ed nripciually tv Blsine, the author OF the bill,
and Pomeroy, the Chairman of the Bank
Committee. AmrnoInents were numerous but
they were all voted down, an1 the bill passed
as It came from the committee.
ESRecent inquiry by the Ways and Means
Committee into the details Of the whisky fraud
combinations has shown that the proximity Of
distileries and rectifying houses has been one
of the chief sources of fraud 1t is understood
tha. the bill reported by the Committee of Ways
and Means will contain provision similar TO
the one in force in England, forbidding the Ii
censing of distilleres situated within certain
distance of reclifying establishments. The eyi-
d2nce taken by the Committee shows that the
existing law is very defective in this respect.
