4 FAILURE,
The Detroit Post CRadicaD says:

"When Judge Emmons, of the United
States District Court, arrived in West
Tennessee, he found more than one
thousand indictments against persons
holding Office in violation Of the Four
teenth Amendment The law passed last
summer for the enforcement Of the
amendment, declares that these cases
shall take precedence of all others in
court, and be prosecuted TO the removal
of the officer. But, unfortunately it is
left to execute itself, as no power is CON
ferred upon any body to remove the of
fetal even when the case is decided
him. This is defect in the law which
will require further Legislation if it is TO
have vitality or efficiency"
So it appears the Radicals in their zeal
to deprive the men of intelligence and
worth of holding the offices TO which they
had been elected, have not done their
work effectually. They provided for the
trial but not for the Ous;ing of the office
holder upon conviction, and this has yet
to be done by Congress. This is charac-
teristic of the loose, shambliDg manner in
which laws are enacted to operate iniuri-
ously upon the Southern people and at the
same time benefit carpet -baggers and
scalswsgs. These laws generally fail
when they are subjected TO a judicial test.

ABOUT two years ago, the city of Chi
cagO levied tax of two per cent upon
the gross receipts of all the file insurance
companies of other States doing business
in the city, and the agents OF the cOmpa-
MES were required to report, under oath,
the amount of their premiums received
during the year. Some of the agents re-
ported and paid, but others refused to do
either. the city made test in the case
of Mr.. a. c. DuCaI, agent of the Home
Insurance Company, of New York, who
carried the case by appeals up TO the
United States Supreme Court, where it
has just been decided in favor Of the city.

TIE malice the Northern Radicals bear
the Southern people is wonderful. Fol
instance, the Detroit Post, Radical
organ, very grayely informs its readers
that universal amnesty has everything
in its favor, except the indispOsition of
the Southern people to obey the laws of
the Nation " and that "they resist the
collection of taxes quite as much because
they are imposed by the National Govern
ment, as because they expect to profit
pecuniarily thereby"

At the banquet which Cyrus w. Field gave at Richmond, England, q fortnight since, in honor of the fifth anniversary of laying the Atlantic cable, very interesting facts concerning the telegraph circuit of the world were announced. It seems that during this month Shangh@ in China, will be connected with the new Russian naval station on the Pacific. and also with Japan. November will see the completion of a cable between Singapore and Australia. As soon as California and Japan are united, instantaneous communication between the five continents will have been accomplished. MT. Field will doubtless live to see even greater triumphs than this. And to him, too, may justly be ascribed more and more honor daily for the enterprises already completed. At the end of the present year tue Telegraph Construction Company will have lain down l9, 500 miles of cable, involving capital of $s2, ,OOo,O ,Ooo.

PINE GROVE CAMP MEETING

As announced ill the NEWS last week, the annual camp meeting of the Rhinebeck District, New York Conference, was com menced last Monday in the grove north of Falls Village. As is usual with them, nearly all of Monday was occupied in erecting the tents, and getting all things in readi- ness for the weekly sojourn there. "A thousand and one" things, so necessary for the comforts of home, had to be fixed up and arranged; but willing and nimble fin- gers rapidly accomplished the task, and at evening all was in readiness for the first meeting, which was very interesting one although comparatively few were present. Threatening clouds Tuesday morning un- doubtedly prevented as large an assem- blaze on the grounds that day, as there probably otherwise would have been, yet there was goodly number of the ''good and true," and the day passed profitably by. A pleasant morning Wednesday brought great numbers to the grove. A Reverend gentleman who is thoroughly con- versant with the facts in the case, told us he thought there were as many there that day, as is usually ln attendance on Thurs day, which is considered the day in the week which has the greatest crowd. We took the liberty of stealing few hours from our business on that day, and made them professional visit. A circle of % or 30 tents and wooden buildings inclosed tbo c1,uca oonup;ad Iv tha oootc aud ax,a.,, one of those ter porary habitatiops were as cosy and inviting as ingenuity and taste could make them. The house built by Messrs. Spur & Olin of Falls Village, was built like those gentlemen, we'll put to- gether, and of most excellant timber; per- haps rather rough on the outside and homely, yet very useful Throughout the day, the best of order was preserved, and the sermons were listened to with marked attention. We did not arrive in time to hear much of the sermon in the forenoon, but that in the afternoon by the Rev. Mir. Ridgeway of New York was most excellent. He is a good rcasoner and carries force with his arguments. The rain Wednes. day night found them not unprepared for it. Their lamps were trimmed and burn, ing. Thursday morning cleared away and people early began to flock to the grounds from all quarters. As we go to press, our reporter hasn't brought in an account ol that days proceedings. The pleasantest sight which we saw on Wednesday, was the half dozen dominies who set in circle, behind one of the tents enjoying their after dinner smoke. Meerschaums and Havanas were not lacking, and general sense ot jollity and right down comfort seemed te pervade the atmosphere about them. They not only know how to, preach but how tt play.

Your correspondent has recently inter- viewed an Italian exile named Murphy, and as he represents class which has hitherto been numerous among us, aud which may possibly become quite extinct in the course of time, beg leave to trans init to posterity through the columns of the NEws short sketch of an Italio Ameri- can Ore Teamster. MT. Murphy left the green sod of ''swate Italy" several years since, embarking from the ducal city of Cork, accompanied by a small but. well assorted family consisting of one wife and eleven children. For some time after his arrival in this country, he devoted his energies to ore mining, laboring with that cheerful diligence and perseverance which are peculiarly characteristic of the Italian, till at last he resolved to embark upon that tide in his affairs which taken at the flood plight lead on to fortune. Thus It was, that becoming the nominal owner of team, he joined the long established and honorable order of Ore Teamsters.
 Tue ancient land marks of this fraternity he has carefully observed, and has never knowingly or willingly violated or trans gressed the unwritten law which prevails among tho craft. Accordingly we find that from his first entry into the service, he has not suffered one secular day to elapse without his traversing the road to one of the furnaces. Blow hot; blow cold; through summer heat, or winter frost; in the mud of spring, on the ''hubs" of autumn, Signor Mrphy's team, day after day has padded the hoof."

Fnlls Village
 The body of Henry Morris was found on the morning of Tuesday, Aug. l5, lying north of the Canaan end of the bridge cros- sing the Housatonic river at that place. The wall from which he fell, and at the base of which he was found, is about l2 feet high. The rough craggy rocks and boulders, at the bottom being washed bare of earth, or covering of any kind, made it an ugly place for man to make decent, even with good ladder. Morris was seen in the early part of the evening in state of intoxicstion, and as near as can be as- certained, must have reached the fatal spot about 10 o'clock, P. NJ. He had resided within few rods of the bridge since in- fancy, and must have been perfectly famil' liar with every inch of the ground. There has been some suspicion of foul play as il was evident that the injuries were sufficient to cause instant death, the skull being bro ken in several places in the forehead. It is claimed by those who assisted in laying out the body for burial, that in addition to the wounds in the forehead, the back oi the head, was also broken in, which could not have been, had his fall forward from the wall killed him. This is the third vic tim of intemperance within very short time. How much longer will our town officers suffer the saleof intoxicating drinks to go on? We, are earning nctoriety which is unenviable. Gin mills spring ur like mushrooms and flourish and fatten upon the honest industry and sweat of oul neighbors and friends. ......The Red Star B B. c. played a match game with combi nation of players from Lakeville, Salisbury and Harrington, under tho name of Lone Stars of Salisbury, on Friday 18th inst, or the grounds of the latter club, defeating them by a score of 5s to 5l.
