Our readers will remember, from what
WAS stated in this paper about the middle
OF the late session of Congress, that a bill
passed the House TO pay the Sisters of
Mercy ef Charleston, South Carolina. the
sum of $4,000 for their devoted and un>
remltting attention TO the sick and wound.

reward ior their personal services and at
tenllon to our soldiers, but to enable them
to rebuild their hospital for orphans.
winch was destroyed during the terrible
bombardment of that city. This beneyo-
lent movement in their behalf originated,
not with the Sisters of Mercy, but with
the officers and soldiers of the Northern
army who had experienced SO much kind
ness at their hands. They unanimously
signed and sent TO Congress a petition
asking that body to donate to the Sisters
the sum named. The bill was easily car
ried through the House by Mr. Dawes, a
Republican member from Massachusetts.
1t could not be reached in the Senate un-
Ill few minutes before the final adjourn
meni. That body is disgraced by crazy
fanatic from Missouri, named Drake. who
is eterDally parading bis loyalty before The
Senate and the country. When the bill
was reached Drake took the floor in on,

DIABoLISM EXTRAORDINARILY The Oma-
la Herald has frightful story of iendish
tracers making merchandise Of buffalo robes
10 which Indians who had died Of SMALLPOX
had been wrapped. Il appears that many
hundreds of Indians had died, within short
time past, of this loathsome disease. and
that their bodies were wrapped in buffalo
robes, which were stolen by traders and
shipped to Fort Benton to be stored, where
they communicated the contagion to the
warehousemen, and through them to the
entire settlement, causing great number of
deaths. The design was, of course. to ship
the robes eastward but this was prevented
by the vigilance of railway and steamboat
officers 1t appears in the course of the
Hera'd'S narrative that the pestilence was
commu nicated. in one instance. to the In
dians by white man for spite, and in az
other by their eXhuming q man who had
died from the smallpox and stealing his
grave clothes. Ia the latter instance $50
ont Of 800 members of the tribe died. In
'he other case the disease was communicated
to the Piegans, Blackfeet, Bloods and River
Crows, and produced terrible havoc among
them. The two enormities of first giving
the disease to the Indians, and then stealing
the robes from their dead for the purpose of
selling them to the whites, may safely be
set down as unequalied in the history of
medern diabolsm.

or so from the time he opened up, he got
one barrel distilled. 1t had not quit steam

FIVE men, and fastened to the distillery.
Ode was the Assessor, another the Guager,
another the Ware house Keeper, another
the Inspector and the other the Collector.
They assessed Mr.. Bear, they took the keys
Of his ware house they guaged, inspected
and tried to collect. Each one had his mark
and each one put his mark on the barrel,
and when done, the old man didn't know
whether it was his barrel of whskey, or
some hierogliphical arrangement from the
ruins of Pompeii or some place else He
studied awhile, he looked at the barrel he
looked at the Officers and then at the Still
House, and after little figuring said, Gen

NEGRO suffrage in Missouri does not
seem to please the Radicals. They can
manage the negroes and keep them in line
but the white men are constantly leapinG
the enclosure. To be sure the negroes all
vote the hadical ticket, but the result is
!nat enough white men leave them and
JOIN the Democrats to defeat them hand
somely. There was local election ot
Louisiana, Pike county, Missouri, on the
2lst for Clerk of the City Council and
as the Radical strength in the place had
been increased by the addition of $50
colored voters it was confidently expected
they would elect their man. But thew
did not He was beaten by John d.
dhurmond, Democrat, by a majority of
81. All the negroes but two voted for
hodgers, Radical, but all the white men
did not. Nor will all the white men vote
for the negro ticket in this city and State.

A HORRIBLE OUTRAGE-The village of
Cortlandville, \. Y, was disturbed Thurs
day night by party of young men who
essayed to avenge the death of Mrs. Chris
topher ii. Moore. who cast he, self into the
river near that village on Tuesday night
and was drowned. 1t appeared at the
Coroner's inquest that Mrs Moore's husband
had been improperly intimate with de-
praVed woman, living in the village, named
Melissa Blye. and the verdict of the iurv
was that knowledge of such intimacy had
rendered Mrs. Moore insane, and while in
such mental condition she had committed
suicide. A strong feeling Of indignation
arose against the woman, aud a party of
young men forced the doors of her house
and subjected her to a treatment cf tar and
feathers She was first dragged to the
street, where a promiscuous crowd of about
two hundred had gathered, aud there entire
~ disrobed. In this condition she was
taken through the streets to another part of
the village, where tar and feathers were ap-
Piled. She was then suffered to go her way.
and the crowd dispersed. While this out
rage was going on, she begged of some
members OF the party to spare her life, and
appealed to them as friends who had also
known her intimately. The citizens are
indignant at these outrages.

The Isln In Equity.

1t is we'll known and understood here
and in Johnstowu, and we may say
throughout the county, that Bill in
Equity is now pending in the Court of
Common Pleas, praying, for certain rea-
sons therein set forth, that the County
Commissioners may be restrained from
further proceeding with the work on the
new jail. The complainants in the bill
are Lewis l'iitt, of Portage Rail Road
notoriety, Charles B. Ellis, and several
other citizens of Johnstown. That these
gentlemen have full and perfect right to
amuse themselves in this innocent way. is
not questioned, there being no clause in
the constitution of this State, nor any
statute that We are aware of, prohibiting
any particular set of men from making
themselves supremely ridiculous, if they
have taste for that business.
During the latter part of last week in
terrogatories to the number of tlrenty-t,Uo
were served by copy on the County Com
missioners. Fee interrogatories were also
served on William Linton, County Treas
urer and Seren On William Callan, the
contractor for building the Jail. To this
part OF the proceeding we make no objec-
tion, and will merely say to Pitt, Ellis
d Co., that the Commissioners, the Treas
urer and the Contractor will, at the proper
time, answer all this formidable array of
lnterrogatories to the full and entire satis>
faction of these Johnstown complainants.
These interrogatorics are based on the
false assumption that this is peculiarly
and especially an issue between Ebens
burg and Johnstown, whereas, in truth
and IN fact, II is a question which con-
Germs the people Of the achcie county, and
will not be decided with reference 20 the
feelings and prejudces of The citizens of
either the one or the other of the places
named. This being a judicial question
for the decision of the Court, we were
utterly surprised at seeing in tie last
Johnstown Tribune all these interrogato-
ries paraded before the public, headed
with low and vulgar allusion to the cit
liens Of this place. Why were they thas
published 1t is unparalleled in such
proceedings The public do not sit in
judgment upon these interrogatories, but
they are to be disposed of by the Court
when they come judicialIy before it. We
can conceive of but one motive for their
publication, and that is, to crafty the
burning but harmless spite of hco of the
counsel for the complainants against the
people of this place and everything con-
nected with it. They may indulge .hem-
selves IN this way to the top of their bent
and no person will be in the least hurt.
much less will it affect The final decision
0i the Court on the question involved.

THERE will be found in our Washing>
ton correspondence a foreshadowing of
the Radical plan of the fall campaign
which will be found useful. The two
points, II seems, that are TO be made upon
the stump in favor of tue Republican
party are that Congress has reduced the
taxes anywhere from $50, 900. 600 to
S52, 000,00O and has restored the Union
by the admission of Georgia The falsi>
ty OF these pleas is shown in the states
ments, first, that the tail tariff, passed
under convoy of the reduction bill proper.
adds to the popular burden in the shape
OF an enhanced COS: in steel, cottons, &c
all that is taken off by the reduction of
the income tax and tea and sugar duty ::
and, second, that the act admitting Geor,
gia is SO ambiguous that the whole
Georgia muddle" will inevitably be re-
newed over its Interpretation. The tenor
OF this latter statement the latest adyices
from Georgia appear 10 confirm. Added
10 these political speculations, our CORE,
spondent furnishes probable ANALYSIS of
the next House, by which it appears that
body will in all likelihood stand Demo,
Gratis l26 10 Radicals 1l2. The infor
nation from the South is hopeful of all
most clean sweep of the Congressman
by the Conservatives-aIways provided
that open violence be not resorted TO by
the present Radical State governments, as
now unhappily seems likely in North
Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas
and IN the North are no less than thirty
one districts in the strongest of which a
change of $50 votes would secure a Dem
Ccrat to the next House 1t is of cheer
tul augury that Covode, Julian, Van
Wyck, Bingham, Schenck, Lawrence,
Shanks, and MorreIl of the Pennsylvania
iron works, are almost certain of defeat.

NORTH CAROLINA.-Three companies OF
Federal artillery have been sent to North
Carolina TO AID Governor Holden in his
attempt to override the Courts of that State
and Cypress It's citizens. The Supreme
Court of the State has refused to grant
wri.s against Holden and his man Kirk. not
because these violators of the law and en-
emies of Constitutional liberty should not be
restrained and punished, but because they,
having control of the State militia, (chiefly
composed Of negroes. refuse to obey the man
dates Of the Court. The citizens are, there
fore, recommended by the Chief Justice Of
the State to apply 10 Chief Justice Chase. Of
the United Sta es Supreme Court, for relief.
1t is to be hoped that sach application will
be made, and the facts in regard to the out
rageous and Infamous course of Holden and
his adherents be brought, through the prop
er Channel, to the view Of the country AID
the world. When tee truth of this crusade
against hundreds of unoffendng citizens
shall become known to the public. it will be
iound to be even worse than the outrages
committed in the name of military aecess-
ty' during the war. The object, we pre-
sume, Is to perpetuate Radical power in
North Carolina. and secure the vote of that
State for the next Radical candidate for tie
