Revelations Of the Grave-IndcstruciIbIo
Garments.

The removal of bodies from an old Gene
terry to Spring Vale, in Lafayette, has given
rise to considerable discussion. An intelli-
gent correspondent Of the Courier writes o
thrilling letter on the subject that is also
instructive. While removing some bodies
from Greenbush, there were two who died
from violent causes-a young soldier, from
gunshot, and child some seven years old,
from diptheria of few hours only. They
had been lying almost beside each other for
seven or eight years, both in iron caskets

THE Hon. Charles T. Sherman, Judge
of the United States Court for the Northern
District of Ohio, to save a conviction under
an impeachment trial, which was in store
for him, has resigned, and the President has
appointed one Martin Walker in his place.
1t is to be hoped the United States bench
will in time get somewhat purified, but it
will be slow process. Underwood has
suddenly died after having been disgraced,
and Sherman has retired, to avoid being ex-
PEELED, and Durand, of Louisiana, might
as well follow suit. There is no greater
safety to the people of any country than a
pure and able judiciary Our country has
fallen off lamentably in this respect. The

Court political body of their own stripe
and color, and they succeeded. After that,

Governor Davis and the rest of the State
officers will not interpose any difficulties in

State Journal publishes the section of the
Constitution, on which it relies for four

something over year ago he accidentally

ing matters on to the extremity, believing
that it would result in a terrible war which
the South was no. prepared for. His feelings
were those Of the deepest and most sincere
regret for the necessity which compelled
the action Of the Southern people, and he
would gladly have avoided an appeal to
aims OF secession from the Union, could
the constitutional rights Of the South have
been secured without them. Such, too,
were the feelings of Senator Brown, OF Mis-
sissippi, OF Hunter of Virginia, Of Stephens
Of Georgia, and, indeed, Of n majority Of
the prominent Southern statesmen. But,
contrary to the belief and averments Of
Greeley and host Of others at the North
that a majority Of the Southern people
we're Union men and only hurried into Sc
cession and the war by their ambitious lead
ers the truth is that the great mass of them
were for a separation and distinct national
government of their own. They had become
convinced by long and persistent course
Of aggression on the part Of their Northern
brethren, setting at naught the Constitu-
tional guarantees for their protection, that
their only safety was in a separation, which
they desired and thought would be attended
without civil war or b!oodshed. OF course,
the main incentive to this was the preserva-
ton of domestic slavery, to which they had
always been accustomed and which they re-
ligiously believed to be right and an adyan-
tage both to the white and black. We say
nothing of the correctness or error of
these opinions-we simply assert the fact.
The Southern people demanded the separa-
ton, and, If there was any blame, which
we do not admit, the blame was their own,
and they have always been ready to ac-
knowledge it, and they have never felt the
slightest inclination to throw off the respon-
sibility upon the shoulders of jefferson
Davis and his noble compeers and as
sociates.
They have ever felt that when an excep-
ton was made against Davis, Reagan and
other civilians, and against the brave officers
of the old army, who believed it their
bounden duty to go with their own section
and their own people in the fearful and dcs-
perate struggle, great wrong and most
crying injustice had been done. They viii
now universally hail with delight the resto-
ration to all these beloved and noble men of
all the rights and privileges which they
themselves possess and have been for some
time exercising. The bill, which has passed
the House by so large majority, will
doubtless be taken up and promptly in
dorsed by the Senate We shall then begin
to feel that the Union has been indeed re-
stored and that brighter future is before
us, never again to be darkened with the
clouds and tempests of civil war.

Sing Sing State prison for the term of five
years Harrington, lesser luminary in

effect ON the country everywhere. If all
the Radicals in the South, who have fraudu-

THE returns come in slowly, but we have
learned sufficiently to know that Coke's ma
jority will reach $4,000, and probably go
above that In the Senate, the Radicals
will have only FIVE out of the thirty mem
bers, and perhaps dozen members in the
lower house. There will be one negro Sen
ator to contrast with the whites in that hon
orable body, and five or six in the popular
branch of the Legislature. We think, from
appearances, that a most excellent represen-
tation of the State has been selected and
chosen, and that the people may expect
wise and wholesome laws from their pro
cecdings, and, on the whole, have great rea-
son for rejoicing and making glad their
