is that which torblds any assessor, under a pen.
atty of $4,000 for each ohense, from assessing a
special or license tax against any rectlder whose

having, in accordance with law, registered the
dIstilery of Aaron Reinstrom, located at No.

decline license to certain recHders located
within six hundred feet of this di,tillery. The
rectters thus ruled out unless they remove
beyond the prescribed limits, are eight 10

THE Radical ''Star Chamber convened
in WashingtC n yesterday, and the President
appeared by counsel, and made application
for a delay of forty days, in order that the
defense might be prepared in proper man
ner. This reasonable request was opposed
by Mr.. Bingham, the head inquisitor. who
urged immediate action. In reply, Mr.
StaDbery very justly remarked that there
seemed TO be a disposition to hurry
through this momentous trial, as if it were
a case before police court, and charac-
terized such procedure as evincing dis
respect alike for the President and his
counsel. Bot Mr.. Stanbery should have
remembered that the leading manager in
this impeachment conspiracy, at not very
remote period of time, acted in a similar
line Of business before a military commits
sion, and some of the taint Of that slaugh-
ter house still clings to his manner, and
influences his conduct. Under the whip
and spur of party discipline, the "High
Court refused to grant the request of the
President, and fixed the 23d instant as the
time for commencing the case. "Coming
events cast their shadows and the point
of the party index yesterday shows the
manner in which the ''Star Chamber"
means 20 conduct the Impeachment trial.

ANOTHER ATTACK on THE SUPREME
CoURT.-A bill taking from the Supreme
Court all original and appellate jurisdiction
in cases arising under the reconstruction
laws was hurried through both Houses of
Congress on Wednesday. A Washington
correspondent gives this account of the
transaction:
A very important measure passed both
Houses to-day which demonstrated beyond
doubt the general belief of the Radicals
that the Supreme Court will decide the
reconstruction acts unconstitutional but
the manner of its passage is probably with
out precedent. and ought to prove lesson
to the opposition to remain to the hour of
adjournment, and watch every Radical
bill. In the House late this afternoon the
Judiciary Committee reported back a
Senate bill regulating appeals to the SD
preme Court IN certain internal revenue
cases, with an amendment substantially
providing that the Supreme Court shall
not have original or appellate jurisdiction
IN cases arising under the Reconstruction
laws that may be now before it or to come
up in future. This important amendment
was agreed to without word of debate,
but few Democrats being in their seats,
and the bill passed and sent to the Senate,
where 1t was also passed in few moments,
there being at the time but two Democratic
Senators in their seats The important
amendment was so artfully covered up in
the bill that it did not attract attention.
So it passed both Houses only to be vetoed
and passed over the veto iato a law for
the express purpose of attempting to pre-
vent q decision in the McArdle case. The
amendment, it will be noticed, is substan-
tally Mr. Trumbulrs bill, introduced into
the Senate the very day that the Supreme
Court decided that it had jurisdiction in
the case. The matter as well as the
manner of this legislation ia simply mon
strOus.

a LONG CAPTIVITY AMONG THE INDI-
ANS The Emporia (Kansas) Ne1Cs says
''Jane Proctor, who was captured by the
Cheyenne Indians about twenty years ago,
while on the road to California, is now
stopping at the house of NorveI Kelley, a
few miles east of this place. She is twenty
four years old, being captured at the age
of four. At the late fight between the
Cheyennes and Kaws, near Fort Laramie,
Jane made her escape. and came down to
this region with the Kaws OF course
she had suffered a great deal, but was
with the Indians so long that she became
accustomed to their mode Of living. She
has been sold often, and has spent her
time with various tribes, roaming over the
country and leading a terrible life, Her
brother, who was older, remains with the
Indians, having married among them.
Miss Proctor says there was always a
number of captives with the Indians. and
hence she has preserved toIerable knowl-
edge of the English language. Miss
Proctor thinks some of her family live in
Southern Kansas, somewhere, and would
like to have information concerning them
Her fathers name is B. b. Proctor"
