November 9th, at the advanced age Of
ninety-two years.

A notorious adventurer named
Wallbridge, recently in a speech a,
Grant, formally rendered him Gre
nomination three years hence. But
Grant declined, declaring that:
"As to his second term, he felt now
very much the same as he did at West
Point In his cadet days, when he
counted every mouth with eagernes:
TO get out OF his position.
A students life was wreiched 10 him
because he was TOO stupid to learn
anything, and too fond of loafing in
grog.shops TO endure the restraints oI
school But his declining a "renomi

fcsses that he is, without exception

The personal liberty OF the citizens,
40 much jcopardized through Radical
misrulo and the manhood OF our
Courts, is being slowly but surely re-
stored The Philadelphia Age, in
dwelling on this subject says:
at is gratifying to note the fact
that the decisions Of the courts of the
country when affecting the personal
rights of citizens generally have n
healthy tone. That Of the Supreme
Court of the United States int case
of Y erger has been followed by voice
from the Supreme tribunal in Nilsson
ri, which is also in the right direction.
The question at issue was the respon-
sibility of officers under the Registry
law of that State. Abraham McPikc
had brought an action against Samuel
MGowan and others, registering OH
GERS in Rails county, for wantonly re-
fusing to register him as a qualified
voter in 1866, and thereby depriving
him of his vote. The case was brought
before the Circuit Court Of Rails. The
defendants demurrcd 20 the petition
that they, as registering officers, acted
judicially, and, as judicial officers,
were not liable in civil actions for
their decisions. The Circuit Court
held tho demurrer good, and gave a
decision in favor of the defendants
The District Court, bya division, af-
firmed the decision. An appeal was
taken to the Supreme Court, and that
tribunal on Monday reversed the de-
cision, ard remandcd the case to the
lower court for trial on its merits
The decision holds that registering
officers, though, like judges oi election
under the old law, exercise quasi Judi
oiul functions; they are not Judicial
but magisteral officers and that, al
though the Registry law ms passed IN
1866 expressly exempts them from re-
sponsibility for refusing to register
applicants, they are liable, neverthc-
less, if the refusal be proved TO have
been malicious, corrupt and wrongful.
1t is certainly an evidence of the com.
ing of a reign of severe principles af-
ter domination Of harsh party dog
mas, that two judicial decisions in ia.
vor Of individual rights as against en-.
throned power should be given by
high Courts in our country

don, near midnight Of Thursday,
Richer men than George Peabody
have died, and some of their heirs,
who put on tho resemblance Of grief
while their hearts were glad, none

The deceased was one of the most

immense fortune by his shrcwdness
and his business tact and his honesty.
His famo is almost worldwide, be-
cause, out of his abundance he did
much good TO mankind. While the

and be forgotten, the name of George
Peabody will live, and his muni6cence
will not be forgotten, nor will it be
lost to mankind lie accumulated his
wealth, but not for that, but because
he used that wealth wei, will George

A CARPET KNIGHT --"Gcneral IIor-
ace Porter went to Now York TO buy
carpet for Mrs. Grant, and not in con
ncction with the gold controversy. -
We clip the above from the Wash

brave uses our high army officers are
put by our Republican President. A
Brcvet Brigadicr General is sent to
New York TO buy carpet for Mrs

hear of Colonel detached 10 stretch
them on the floor, and Captain 10

In olden times, We think, General
officer in the army would have felt in
suited it he had been ordered to New
York on any such commission as that
Of fPorter's; but now. a days they seem
quito ready to do menial offices around
their Sovereign. The simplicity Of
our Republican Court is fast passing
away, and we may soon expect TO see
our President attended with all the
Royalty, Ladies of the Bed Chamber,
and our Major Generals struggling for
the honoroi pulling otrlhc Presidents
hose, aud clapping on his nightcap.
Well, ,here is no disputing about
tastes. But we could suggest TO Gen.
