La our Geographic dispatches yesterday. it
should have been said that the House of Re-

refused to reconsider the resolution referring
colored eligibility to the Supreme Court. -

this-tha, the South ought to be deemed
hereafter a member of the Union-not to be
kept down. worried. reconstructed" and be-
devilled; but section full of resources, to be
cherished. protected, developed, and enriched.
This is craftsmanship; the other is mere malice
snd spite, which does, indeed, harm and hinder
the South, but strikes also at the Northern
taxpayer, and the whole fabric OF national pros
perity. II the debt is to be paid. the luxury Of
revenge must be retrenehed. and the carpet

The President. it is now said, has not yet
pardoned Dr. Mudd, but has directed the At
torney General to make report in the case as
preliminary to pardon. The friends of DR..
Mudd say they have no doubt but that he will
soon be set at liberty THIS belief is based
upon what the President told them. 1t ought
TO be done forthwith. Every hours delay is
gross wrong and injustice to an innocent and
shameluiy used man.

AFFAIR IN KING WILLIAM COUNTY, Va
A Mr.. G. II. Ulmer, Of Rockland, Maine, came
direct from his home in that State, last week,
for the purpose of shooting Mr.. John Hit,
of Thomaston, Maine, who was engaged 10 cut
ting timber on the Pamuukey river. While
Ulmer was in the army, as quartermaster OF
cavalry, John Hit sedueed his wife. His vile
confessed the full extent of her crime. He
then commenced an action against Hit, and
sued him for $50, 900 Misunderstanding his
property in the county where he lived.
The assault Of Umer upon Hill was unsuc-
cessiul the latter having received timely notice
OF his presence and intentions and surrounded
himself by his friends Umer's fire was with
out effect, because he was afraid of injuring
some innocent party He told his wronger,
that although unsuccessful this time ne might
consider this only preliminary action.
Timer is now in King William county jail.
Hit is UImer's wife's uncle, and the case Is
represented to be most atrocous in its details.
He should have been her natural protector
rather than her seducer.- Rich. Journal

occurred yesterday, in the corridor of The
Patent Office, in Washington, between ".
Fl. Dempsey, of the firm Of Dempsey (
O'Toole, and Samuel A. Duncan, clerk tC
Commissioner Foote, of the Patcnt.Ofice. In
the recently published report of the investlga-
ton ordered by the Secretary of the interior
in regard to stationery contracts Is statement
prepared by Duncan stating that Dempsey
was not worthy Of belief, even under OATH
Dempsey took this statement TO Duncan and
asked him if be was the author, and upon re-
ceiving an affirmative reply, he vigorously APP
piled raw cowhide to Duncan face and body.
The hubbub occasioned by the encounter
brought Commissioner Footc and clerks in the
department to the spot. and the cOmbatants
were separated. The affair will give the dis
trict attorney another case of assault and bat
terry to try.

of A. s. Johnston taken from the vault Of the
st. Louis Cemetery, at New Orleans, aud for
warded to Texas. where his family now reside,
for final interment l think this is no mistake,
as | followed the procession from the cemetery
to the Texas Railroad ferry, distance of about
two miles. The procession was a very silent
one caused by the order Of Gen. Sheridan,
prohibiting any demonstration whatever, not
even the tolling OF bells. This was in the
month of February or March, 1867. The fol
lowing Generals were pall-bearers: Bragg
Beauregard, Buckner, Longstreet, Hood, and

We see stated in Washington letter, giving
an account OF the examination of friend of Mr.
Robert j. Walker, as witness before Con-
gress committee which is ''investigating" the
Alaska purchase, that Mr.. Walker became
very indignant at the conduct OF some ASH
iugton correspondent, and used towards the
correspondent high language. The witness
stated that he advised Mr.. Walker 20 soften
somewhat the terms of his message, and told
him that it was the best not to incur the enml-
tv of newspaper men, as they had so much
mower TO do mischief This advice, thus
ayowed, calls for word or Two. The
."power to do mischief which these Washing
ton co correspondents possess, depends entirely
upon the truth of what they say-and,i it does
happen, that so many of their statements turn
out to be incorrect, or exaggerated, or destitute
of truth-either from false information, or
from desire to be sensational-that the pow
err has been materially curtailed of late days.
To this remark We certainly do not include all
these Washington correspondents some OF
them are careful, conscientious gentlemen and
regard their character for truth as every gentle
man should regard it. But this is not the
point. Let that be as it may, we hope no
public man in Washington, will be induced,
by any consideration, to fear the "enmlty' OF
these newspaper men. If he act properly in
tho discharge of his duties, there is no reason
why he should fear it. If their 'enmity" is
without cause, if it can be turned aside by
mercenary offers, or by courting their favor,
deprecatiug their wrath, or otherwise unworth-
ily, let it be continued for it can do no harm.
And if these arts are resotred to, to gain their
pufS, or dissuade thep from the exposures
they can make, why, the man who resorts to
such course, deserves to feel the extent OF
their "power.

HARRIsBURG, May 20.-In the Grand Lodge
this morning an effort was made to obtain
reconsideration of the vote by which the pro-
iected Odd Fellows Institute was defeated, but
was unsuccessful. An amendment offered at the
last annual session, to give the treasurer salary
of five hundred dollars, was defeated. The reso-
luton to grant charters to Degree of Rebekah
lodges, submitted at the last semi-annual ses-
sion, was taken up, and evoked lengthy and at
some stages very amusing discussion. The
resolution was adopted, and committee ap-
pointed to draft constitution therefor. As soon
as it was decided, applications were handed in
for charters for lodges of this degree to be
located at New Brighton, Beaver county, Wilkes
barre, Easton, and Reading, all four of which
were granted. The appeal of Ashland Lodge,
Eo 294, was dismissed The appeal of Graft
