and has gone, we are informed, in 2:4s.
As everybody is now inquiring about
blood we have been at some trouble to
ascertain the breeding of this horse.
He was got by Green's Bashaw and
his danris a first rate sorrel mare that
has been owned for several years by ia
cob Horr, of this city. This mare was
bred by George Hunt, near Moscow, and
was foaled with the property of Mr..
Long, in the Dutch settlement. She was
by a horse, reputed thorough bred,
brought from Kentucky by DR.. Fulliam
and called Sportsman, son ofSporstman
that was a son of the famous Woodpeck-
er, by Bertrand. The dam of the mare
was brought from Kentucky at the
same time, rs we understand it, along
with Sportsman, and sold by DR.. Full
liam to Mr.. Hunt. The quantity of rae
ing blood which the dam Of Janus pos
sesses cannot be determined, but it il
evident, not only from the history of her
ancestors as well as her own appearance
and quality. that she has q considerable
Infusion Of it. She is very game and
bl God like mare. We congratulate
Messrs. Starr and Hess on their hand
some acquisition and enterprise. We
have no doubt the farmers of old Cedar
will stand at their backs. Since $35 600
has been offered and refused for Bashaw
Jr., It is we'll enough TO try to raise more
of the same sort.-M,sscatine Journal.
p We are informed by Mr.. Starr that
Janus will be kept here the coming sea-
son. Breeders of fine stock will do we'll
to look at him.

Plaintiff did not claim upon the terms
of contract, but only upon the actua
value Of the services rendered defendant
that this claim for damages on the part
of the Defendant could not be allowed
That il, il work was worth more pei
month after the Plaintiff left his situa-
ton than during the months through
which he was employed, that as Plain
tiff claimed not the contract price, but
only the actual value of what he did do,
the claim of the Defendant for damages
on account OF the increased cost of labor
was not valid. We have endeavored to
make this point plain because this 10

often, and in which the farmers Of the
country who hire labor will feel an in

Sweet State vs.. Oliver KEENAN,. De-
PENDANT in this action WAS charged with
disturbing religious meeting in Spring
field township, by divers and sundry
ungentlemanly performances in orabout
the church. A jury was called, and tho
case kindly submitted to them by the
counsel for the defence without boreing
them with any testimony for Defendant,
which. the counsel probably wisely
tl,ojgl,t would only make bad matter
worse. Verdict-guilty. Judgment of

one Harvey Warner was held to appear

THE following extract from the State
Register will be read with interest by
many Cedar county friends of Rev. A.
NJ. Geiger:
The First English Evangelical Lu-
tleran Church, situated Oh the corner
OF 9TH and Sycamore streets, was conse-
Grated on Sabbath last with appropriate
services. The dedicatory exercise being
held in the afternoon, enabled most of
the city pastors to be present, thus
adding much to the impressiveness of
the occasion. The sermon was preached
by the Rev. DR.. Sternberg, and was Of
superior excellence and power.
Before proceeding to the act of conse.-
Grafton, the pastor, Rev. A. NJ. Geiger,
made n statement of the financial con-
dition of the Church, in which it
appeared that about 81 900 was needed
to free it from debt. Without any social
appeal, other than the siinple statements
of the fact, when the opportunity was
given, the audience at once contributed
the sum OF $3.50. The matter was so
quietly and speedily done as scarcely to
be called an effort.
The appropriate and impressive conse-
Grafton service was then read by the
Pastor, all the visiting ministers joining
in the act Of setting apart the house for
Divine Worship. The church is 35x6O
feet, of full style of Gothic Architecture,
and il finished and furnished with
extreme excellency and good taste at a
cost Of about $500.

THE VIRGINIA MOVEMENT.

Il we may credit the statements OF Wash
iugtou letter writer's, the recent movement OF
4he Virginia Conservatives is likely to meet
with success, and to receive the sanction of
Congress. We have already expressed our
selves with regard to the propriety of the pro-
posed action, and deem it useless TO pursue
the subject further. That the people of the
Old Commonwealth should voluntarily adopt
negro suffrage, strikes US as a matter to be
deeply regretted, but if they have made up
their minds to it, as seems to be the case, We
know not why we should object. The latest
we have upon the subject is from the cores
pondent of the Baltimore Gazette, who says:
{" Five members of the Virginia delegation
held another interview with General Grant
to-day by appointment. General Schofed es
corted the committee to headquarters and in
troduced them to the President elect. The
interview was most gratifying to the delega-
ton. 1t was soon apparent that Gen. Grant
had carefully examined the provisions of the
obnoxious Constitution, for he remarked that
it contained several clauses for which he him.
self could never vote. General Schofeld also
explained the Objectionable features of the
Constitution, and stated the wrong of fasten-
ing such Constitution upon the State of Vir
ginia General Grants mind seemed to be
made up as to the necessity of preventing the
wrong spoken of by Gen. Schofeld, but the
difficulty was as to the proper means to be
used. He suggested several plans for con-
sidcration, but each was deemed impractical
bic. It was finally concluded to ask Con-
gress to pass an act admitting the State upon
condition that two clauses should be stricken
from the Constitutions DISTINGUISHING the
white population of the State, and the other
imposing the iron>clad oath where it is not
imposed by the fourteenth amendment to the
Constitution. From intimations given out by
leading men in both Houses, it is confidently
believed that Congress will adopt this solution
Of the difficulty.

CLEARING THE WAY.

The Tenurc-cf Office bill, which has fctter-
cd the administration of President Johnson
aud which foisted upon him the corrupt re-
mains and unprinciplcd appOintees of his pre-
decessor, has been repealed-at least, SO lar
as the action of the House of Representa-
tives can effect such a result, and there can
be no doubt that the Senate will concur in
what has been done by the popular branch OF
Congress-so that the incoming administers
ton of General Grant will find the coast
clear for removals and appointments.
The decisive majority by which this inta-
nous measure was repealed, and the case and
facility with which it was overthrow, de-
moustrates' one of two things-cither that
thc Radical party has become convinced OF
its injustice; or, that the looming man. who
is so soon to be invested with the reins of
power, does not mean to be trammelled by
laws which are pregnant with injury to tho
best interests of tho country. We suspect
the latter has had much to do in shaping the
action of the House, for it is impossible longer
to disguise the fsct that the Republican party
is afraid of Grant, but moro afraid of the
people, by whom they believe him to be sus-
tained. They will not dare to war upon him
Us they have upon the present incumbent, and
hence their apparent readiness to make his
path smooth one.

EDITORIAL BREVITIES.

The Alexandria Gu=ctte publishes the fol-
lowing under its telegraphic news: Judges
Shelley and Harris are III Washington, and
were before the committee on Reconstruction
on Friday, in reference to the removal of the
disabilities from the judges of Virginia.
They both made statements, which were we'll
received, and it is the impression that the
committee will report in favor of the removal
of the disabilities from all the judges. Jos.
Segar and Lewis Mckenzie, Esqs., have been
assiduous in their cndeavors to secure this
desirable object, and have earned much praise
for their kind Offices. They have done all in
their power to restore to the State her civil
rights"
MI. Geo. Opdyke, ex Mayor of New
York, is engaged on the national finances
He asserts "that the United States hare seven
tel:hs more currency per capita than before
BIC war, or than England or Franco now has;
and that the proper ways TO bring this cur
rency to par with gold are to contract it at
sate not exceeding ten millions of dollars a
year, and to await the growth of the country
in its recources and consequent need of cur
rency. Those means, he believes, will bring
the country to specie payment in about seven
years, and any earlier resumption, he argues,
will be fraught with more injury than benefit
to the general business of the country"
Don Piatt, the Washington correspondent
Of the Cincinnati Commercial, writes that lie
lately had conversation with one Of what are
called the ''carpet bag" Representatives in
Congress from Southern State, and tried to
convince him that ii would be well, just for
the appearance of the thing, to cast vote
now and then for the region he claimed to
represent But, no he found his friend had
an intense contempt for one half of his econ
stituents," and a deadly hatred lor the other
half.
The New York Times says that "during
the last ten days failures to the extent of
about four millions of dollars have occurred
in that city among the jobbng and commission
houses il the dry goods trade. Business in
this line has been very dull for nearly two
years, it has not paid. The recent failure of
one of the largest dry goods houses was due
to heavy losses through customers in the
Northwestern States"
A Washington letter in the Baltimore
Gazette says that number of the Republican
members of Congress have agreed to support
the proposition of negro suffrage aad general
amnesty In Virginia, and it NAV be the propo-
sition which will be submitted will be adopted
by Congress.

The ''Treason Trouble Over.

In letter to District Attorney Darlington
Of Washington, Attorney General Evarts au-
thorizcs and instructs him in furtherancc of
the purposes Of the late general amnesty of
the President, and pardon, to make examina-
ton of the indictments pending in the Dis
trict against any person or persons .whomso
ever "f9r the offence of treason against the
United States, or adhering to their enemies
during the late civil war; in order that at
as early day as he..shall have proper opportuni-
ty he may enter a moHe proSequi for the Gov
eminent upon such indictments.
In consequence of these instructions, Mr..
Darlington, on Wednesday, called the atten-
ton of Judge Fisher of the Criminal Court
Washington to the indictments against JEFF
terson Davis and John G. Breckenridge,
charged with treason, and J. II. Surratt, charg-
ed with engaging in rebellion, and after re-
citing the facts he said he felt it to be his
duty to obey these Instructions, and would
in view Of them enter noNc pros. in the
case of the indictment against Jefferson Da-
Wis for treason, found by the Grand Jury,
May Goth, 1865, and also the Indictment
against John C. Breckenridge for treason,
found on the same date. The Indictment
against John II. Surratt, found June 18th,
1868, charging him with " engaging in
the rebellion" was somewhat different from
the others, and he had concluded to make
the same disposition, but under the circum-
stances, he thought that his duty would be
to report it to the Attorney General
