Removing Disabilities.


In considering the question of the
removal of disabilities imposed nrpoon
the Southern people, there is o pre-
vaient error in the supposition that
rebellion constitutes any difficulty in
the way. 1t matters not what man
has done; indeed, tho nearer his
achievements in the war on the side of
the Confederacy came TO heroism, the
more readily will he be relieved and
enrolled among the "emancipated. "
The only requirement will be that
the application for relief shall have
become aconvert to radicalism-shall
have joined the party in power, and
pledged himself to cooperate in fore
ing upon his country the destructive
measures of reconstruction, passed
by Congress. Indeed, his whole
pledge and undertaking is to give his
influence and vote to curtailing the
rights Of his white fellow-citizens,
and to enlarging and multiplying
those OF the blacks. The Richmond
Dispatch asserts that any man who
will make this pledge, can be relieved
of all his disabilities in little while.
Indeed, had the people of the South
Immediately after the war, joined the
radical party. negroes would not have
been made voters, it is generally con-
ceded. In this connection, the Will
mington Journal says with force and
Justice, that the time has now come
when good men must not and cannot
afford to sacrifice the right to vote to
a natural and commendable repug-
nance to mingle in the motley and
diBreputable conoourse around the
polls. The vote of every decent man
is now of the utmost Importance, and
O failure to use the franchise now,
may result in inability to do SO in the
future. See to it, that none entitled
to register fail to do so. A white
man who voluntarily disfranchises
himself in this crisis, is an enemy to
his race.

Sooner or Later. BY Shirley Brooks,
author of "The Silver Cord" ''The
Gordian Knot" etc. New York.
Harper and Bros. 1868.
The English press has nearly un-
animously pronounced this the best
novel that Mr.. Brooks has yet pro-
duced. The "Silver Cord" is the
only one we have had The pleasure of
reading, and ''Sooner or Later" is so
much better, in every important re-
spect, that VIC have no doubt but that
the verdict of the English critics is
just one Mr.. Brooks endeayors-
and with fair measure of success
to combine the two opposite methods
OF novel writing, of which the works
of Mr.. Collins and of Mr.. Trollope,
respectively, may be regarded as the
exponents. The one makes the in
terest of his stories consist chiefly in
the intricate mechanism of the plot;
the other pleases his readers by care
ful and truthful pictures of life among
quiet and commonplace people.
"Sooner or Later" has o well con-
structed plot, which is both probable
and interesting, and in elaborate and
vivid studies of character quite equals
'The Small House at Abingdon" or
'"The Last Chronicle of Barset." The
story presents IL curious commentary
on the state Of public opinion on GER
tain questions Of morals. His novels,
and especially the present one, are
by no means devoid of a distinct in
f1uence in favor of good morals. The
story of Ernest Dormer's sins and
their consequent punishment is quite
as efficacious as any sermon, and a
good deal more interesting. The
author deserves high commentator
for understanding so perfectly the
novelists true position. Mr.. Nc
Carter has presented us q copy OF
this work.

Gen. Wellington II. Ent.

We find in that able paper, the Colam-
6ian, the following interesting sketch of
General Ent, the Democratic candidate
for Surveyor General. 1t will be read
with interest, and not even his opponents
can fail that be is man worthy to be
honored and rewarded. The Columbian
says
Gen. Ent IS well known to all our read
ers, and has an uusulied reputation bot h
as a soldier and as a man. He was born
at Light Street, in this county, August
10Th, 1884, and consequently is 81 years
of age. He graduated at the Law Uni
versity in Albany, n. Y, and was soon af-
ter admitted to the practice Of law in this
and adjoining counties, which profession
he followed until the outbreak of the war.
Gen. Ent vas the first to move in this
county in the matter of raising troops, and
on the first call of the President rendered
his services, and was unanimously elected
to the position of First Lieutenant of the
"Iron Guards, company raised for three
months, and which afterwards changed its
term of service to three years. The COM
pany was accepted by the Governor, April
nth, 1861. l.-On the 28th of May follow
ing, he was elected Captain Of his COM
pany, then known as "a of the Reserves,
Captain ricketts,, its former commander,
having been chosen Colonel of the Regi-
ment September 2lst, 1862, he was
commissioned as Major of the Regi-
ment November Goth, 1862, Lieutenant
Colonel May 23d, 1868, Colonel, and
subsequently was brevetted Brigadier Gen,
for gallant conduct in the field. On the
1lth of June, 1864, be was mustered out
with the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps,
having served two months over his time.
During this period the General partici-
pated with his Regiment in the principal
battles fought by the army of the Potomac
from Drainesville to Cold Harbor, in which
last engagement he received bullet thro'
his hand which has lamed him for life.-
During Lees first invasion of Maryland he
was home on recruiting service, but at
the risk of Court Martial and without
waiting to be relieved, went at once to
the front, and joined bis regiment in time
to participate in the battle Of Antietam.- =

distinguished at the subsequent battle of
Fredericksburg being part of the only

Since the War, the General has been
principally engaged in the iron business,

IMPEAcHMENT.-Thei parchment farce

closed upon both sides, and nothing now
remains to complete the trial but the argu-

proving the criminal intent of the Presi-
dent in issuing the order for the removal
of Stanton from the War office, was shut
out against the ruling of Chief Justice
Chase by vote of this trooly loil' Sen
ate. So it will be seen that evidence cal

the trial has been conducted cannot fail to
have attracted the attention of all friend:
of justice and right everywhere. What
ever the verdict may be the modus operand,
in this trial will stand ont a hnrninr shame
to republican form Of government for all
future time. Mr.. Boutwell,, on the part Of
the managers for the prosecution, opens
the argument to day, to which time the
court adjourned from last Monday, and
will be followed by Evarts, of New York
and late Attorney General Stanberry, fol
the defense, and John A. Bingham, of wo,

gun ens for the prosecution.

before the evidence had been concluded
prepared and printed a speech which he
insists shall be placed before the country

This is a fair specimen of Radical impar

reader can look for the conviction of the
