MAD DoGs.-There is quite an excite
ment on the other side of the river con
corning mad dogs. During the late snow
storm, dog passed up the river road and
bit every dog he could reach. Since then
quite number Of dogs have gone mad,
and one man has been badly bitten on the
hand. The excitement is increasing
We do not know what legal steps should
be taken for the protection ofthe public,
other than that every man shoot every dog
found staying around his premises. Cows
have been bitten, and the mad dogs have
run up through Apalachin village, and up
the creek road into Pennsylvania. Our
advice would be there as well as in the
village, to kill the dogs OwtgO Times.
We also learn from reliable sources,
that this same dog passed through the
towns of Warren, Orwell, Pike and Her
rick. He took especial pains to bite every
dog who crossed his path. Some twenty
five are known to be bitten. He crossed
over into Susquehanna county, and was
killed at Bear Swamp, near Middletown.

Senators call right for impeachment
through the political pressure Of the Rump-
ers and the radical party generally, the
High Court reached a vote on the eleventh
article on Saturday, acquitting the Presi-
dent of the high crimes and nisdemeanors
therein charged. This was considered the
strong article of the series, introduced by
Thad. Stevens, who said, in substance, if
they could not convict on this it would be
useless to try the rest. After the radical

heavy influence of tile member from this

The Negro in the Methodist Church.

All have heard of the conventional mig
ger in the fence. The same individual in
politics is equally familiar. The irrepres-
sible parsonage bids fair to enter the
churches and to distract the saints. At
present, if there be no method, there is
certainly Methodism in his madness The
quadrenniel conference cf this Church in
the United States is now in session in
Chicago. Besides being harrassed by the
depravities and perils of that provincial
place, dark cloud hovers over their de-
hberations, and its sable rain is dropping
discord into that body. The Mission
Confer ences of Washington City and the
State of Delaware have sent delegates
whose color is beyond the power of i'm
peachment, and they demand admission
Through two days has debate run high for
and against the black brethern. A con-
vention of more than $50 ministers has
been unable to agree or to disagree to
their admission, and the whole question
was vicariously saGdled on the Bishops,
who are of the NEUROLOGICAL number of
nine, with orders to report either way,
without delay. For denomination whose
clergy in nearly every conference have
gratuitously impeached Mr.. johnson, and
indorsed niger suffrage South, this cava-
Jier treatment of the blacks literally wounds
them in the houses af their friends, and is
more characteristic than the proverbial in
gratitude of republics. 1t is only fair to
add that the laity of the Methodist Church
are always denied election or representa-
tion in their religious official assemblies,
and that this denial leads to the ministeri-
al meddling in matters political, by which
the very large and probably prepondera-
ting conservative sentiment of the Church
as body is overbCrne.

Formers RESIGNATION That the
country is going to get rid of supporting
the dishonest scallawag, that has SO long
held the position of Clerk Of the Senate,
is hardly possible. The Worlds Wash
ington correspondent, referring to it on
Wednesday says:
Forney's resignation is a trick The
interests of conviction are thought to re-
quire heavy fire of threat and vitupera-
ton on those Republican Senators who have
shown signs of voting for acquittal, and as
Forney, however he has abused the Pres
ident, could not turn his guns upon them
in my papers, both daily, while actually
in the Senate, he has sent in a species Of
bogus resignation, which will enable him
to play this role without being expelled
from the Senate for it. In this mornings
Chronicle says that his connection with
the Senate having ceased, he is no longer
restrained by any official embarrassment,
in commenting on the course of those who
in this critical hour have joined hands with
Andrew Johnson and his rebel associates
and sympathizers. He then goes on to
call Grimes, Fessendcn, and Trumball
recreant Senators, and to declare that past
loyalty cannot condone vote for acquit-
tai Now the truth is, that as this resig-
nation is only to take effect when sue
cessor is appointed. Forney is as much
the Secretary of the Senate as before, and
will doubtless draw his pay as usual, this
patriotic resignation to the contrary not
withstanding. In the Senate this MORN
ing Summer moved to lay the resignation
on the table, the effect of which would be
to continue Forney as Secretary by fail
ing to elect a successor. To this Came
ron who hates the Dead Duck, objected and
moved the resignation be accepted. But
Summers motion prevailed, Hen ndricks
then moved the resignation be accepted
and Secretary pro tenn. be appointed un
til regular election could be had. Sum
mer objected to the consideration of this
motion, which would have made Forney IS
resignation resignation in earnest, it
went over, SO that no successor, either
permanent or nd intirin, having been
appoined, Forney is still Secretary.

RADICAL CHIvALRY-ATTEMPT TO MUIR
DER DEMOCRATIC CoNGREssMAN.-A
Washington dispatch says severe encoun-
ter took place on Capitol Hill, Thursday
night, between Representative Randall, of
Pennsylvania, and Ex-Governor Hamilton,
of Texas, better known among the carpet
baggers as Jack Hamilton. 1t arose from
an interchange Of opprobnous eplthets.-
Hamilton feled Randall to the pavement
with heavy cane and struck him several
times, when he was hauled off by the by
ISLANDERS. Mr.. Randall was conveyed to
his residence in an almost insensibe con-
dtion and is represented to be seriously
injured. Hamilton has not been arrested.

Radical Decency (P)

"Whom the gods wish to destroy they
first make mad" is an adage which applies
with force to the present Rump Congress.
" When rogues fall out, honest men get
their Dues" is truthful saying, and quite
as applicable to politicians and parties as
to individuals, and strikingly illustrated
in the disgraceful affair which occurred in
the House of Representative at Washing
ton one day last week between two mem
bers of the "loiT stamp, representatives
of the party of great moral ideas" in
discussion upon each others merits. We
publish the Washburne-Donnelly debate
upon the first page Of our paper, as report
ed for the Congressional Globe, the official
organ of Congress. If half what they say
Of each other be true they both ought to
have been serving out their time in the
penitentiaries Of their respective States
long ago, instead of disgracing the halls Of
Congress with their foul.mouthed expose of
each others crimes. This debate eclipses
any that ever occurred during the palmiest
days ofSouthern chivalry. If this out
rage upon parliamentary decorum had oc-
Cured between two Democratic members
of Congress they would have been expelled
forthwith for using language unbecoming
the dignity of that agust body.
Washburne charges Dounelly with being
a man "who is covered all over with crime
and infamy man whose record is stain
ed with every fraud-whisky and other
frauds-a man who has proved false alike
to his friends, his constituents, his country,
his religion, and his God"
Dpnuelly retorts upon Washburne in
the following style: "What if God in a
moment Of enthusiasm at one of the gentle
mans speeches were to pluck him to his
bosom and leave this wretched nation stag
gering on in darkness to ruin. fancy the
gentleman haranguiDg the assembled hosts
of Heaven, the cherubim and the seraphim,
the angels and the arch-angels. How he
would sail into them. How he would rout
them, horse, foot, and Dragons. How he
would attack their motives and fling insin.
uations at their honesty and how he
would declare for economy, and urge the
wheels of the universe must be stopped
because they consume too much grease.
And if there be in our midst one low,
sordid, vulgar soul, or barren, mediocre
intelligence-one heart callous to every
kindly sentiment, and every generous i'm
pulse-one tongue leprous with SANDER
one month which is like unto den Of foul
beasts. giving forth deadly odors-if there
be here one character which, while blotch-
ed and spotted all over, yet raves and rants
and blackguardS like prostitute-it is the
gentleman from Illinois,"
Such is the character Of Washburne, of
Illinois, pictured by one of his own parti-
sans. And this is the man who has in
training the Republican candidate for the
Presidency-Gen. Grant. What do hon.
est men think of the trainer and the train
ed? Will he be any filter after receiving
instructions from such a character?
Dawes, Rep. Mass, characterizes the de-
bate as " "remarks of the character of which
no man could find a parallel in the de-
bates Of Congress, certainly not in the

The Extremists and the Chicago Con-
Uenfinn

vention.
Mr.. Forney communicates to the Phila-
delphia Press, as an understood thing,
that no Republican who opposes the con-
viction of Andrew johnson will be allow
cd seat in the Republican Convention at
Chicago" In other words, the Republi-
lican who doubts the expediency Of i'm
parchment, or denies the sufficiency of the
testimony adduced as the groundwork of
Mr.. Johnson's removal is to be read out OF
the party.
We have had signs on this subject be-
fore. The unblushing avowal that convic-
ton is party necessity, whether warrant
ed by law and evidence or not, and the
persistent endeavor to bully Senators into
conviction by holding up " infamy" as the
penalty of acquittal, have clearly revealed
the recklessness and tyranny which aspire
to the control of the Republican party
The disposition has been growing some
time. Formerly, it was enough that men
subscribed to the declared policy of the
party and worked according to the best Of
their judgment for the attainment of its
ends. More recently, other tests Of feaIty
have been invented. Adhesion to regular
ly authorized platforms has been declared
insufficient, and mans republicanism has
been suspected and denied unless he bur
rahed for every measure which Radical
members of the party introduced into Con-
gress. 1t has become necessary to swear
by Stevens, and pin ones faith to the
sleeve of Boutwell, or Butler to escape ex-
communication as hereto and traitor.
In pursuance Of the same intolerant
plan, it is intended, Mr. Forney declares,
to cxslt impeachment into the party test of
orthodoxy. Before obtaining admission to
the Chicago Convention, delegates must
hold up their right hands and avow that
they favored Johnson's official decapita-
ton, with evidence or without it, in con-
formity with law or in spite of it. We
are not prepared TO believe that so impu-
dent pretension will be tolerated for an
instant. But the fact that is talked Of in
certain circles at Washington indicates the
readiness of extremists to employ extraor-
dlnary means to obtain control of the Con-
vention.
They are not alone in the work. Wen
dell Phillips has given notice that the Con
vention will be required to engraft negro
suffrage upon the platform of the party !;
and the German Radicals make no secret
of their purpose to press their views upon
the Conve Rtion. Both the Wendell Phil
lips faction and the Missouri Germans pro
claim an intention not to accept the nomi-
nation of Grant apart from a thoroughly
radical platform; and both will go to Chi
cago prepared to coalesce with other ex-
tremists for the promotion of the common
object The aim IN all the cases is to re-
construct the Republican party after the
Radical model, and to shape the tactics OF
the compaign with view to Radical su-
premacy. The work will not be easy it
is more likely TO fail than to sncceed but
it should not therefore be despiscd.-N.

Mr.. Harlan's Opinion on the Right of

tIemau who demonstrated with him against
making a removal in his department -
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
July 8, 1868.
have deemed it to be my privilege to
make removals in this department, and |
shall do so in the future without admitting
the right of any one to call the propriety
of my course in question. When Mr..
Smith became Secretary of the Interior he
at once sought and obtained the appoint
ment of those whom he personally prefer
red for assistants and associates. have
been doing the same and expect to contin-
ne to do the same. Success as an execu-
tive officer requires it. Any other course
would be suicidal This official rule of
right should prevail from the President to
the smallest executive officer having con-
troll of subordinates. The President should
not appoint or retain CabiLet Minister
who is not his personal choice for the po-
sition ; and, according to my views, a Cabi-
net could not in selfrespect remain in office
after becoming satisfied or having reason
to believe that he was not the President's s
personal choice. The same rule should
maintain between the heads of depart
ments and the heads of bureaus under his
supervision.
Yours truly,
