John van Buren thinks theremitfwan'ces but the Constitution of the Unitake in calling the present Congress the t®4:States only applies to States that arc Rump, and insists that it should' be call-1IB Union, and tb the Territories of the ed the Barebones Congress. In a recent |FT

Now, it is flattery tcaNykthis Congress a Rump Congress, [Laughter It-is a great deal more like a Parliament that succeeded and which was kjown as tho Barebones Parliament, in which^ there were members with all sorts of natnes, as described by a writer of that dafy, who says ("Brown's Travels in England," page 279): "Oromwoll," says Gievelaadt "llath beat up his drums clean through the Old Testament. You luay leorn the gofeaeftltgy or our Sariour by tbe*Dames of his regiments The muster-master had no other list than the first chapter of St. Matthew. The brother of tbU Praise God Barebones had foruamo, If-Christ hftttMiot-died-for-you-:you-had-been-damned Barebones but thepeople is tired ot this longname.re* tnined only the last word, and commonly gave him tho appellation of Damned Barebones."

Now one would not have to go long through the present Congress and the Reconstruction Committee before findiug a gentleman who answers exactly to the description of "Damned Barebones." [Laughter.]

Of the extraordinary character of this Congress, Mr. Van Buren says: Why, just look at it! Eleven States are unrepresented in that body, and about half of the residue are utterly ,nonrepresented by men elected in a time of excitement, when there was no fair opportunity for an expression of opinion, and under circumstances that have eutirely changed since their election. This body is sitting in Congress, nominally uuder a Constitution which says "representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, to tlioi^ .-ooycciive numbers. Each State shall have at least one representative." The Constitution also says: "The Senate of the United States shall be composed, of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Legislature thereof for six years, and these Senators shall have one vote." Now look at that body, with eleven States entirely unrepresented, uuder a Constitution which declares that each State shall have one representative in Congress, and that the Senate of the Uuited States shall be composed of two Senators from each State—eleven States entirely unrepresented in either hourie of Congress. What more? Why, under a Constitution which requircs'each House to judge of the election and return of its own members, they pass a joint resolution, by which they take from themselves the power separately to judge of the returns of their members, and proclaim that neither House shall admit any person from the Stutes formerly in rebellion till both Houses have acted upon the subject by a legislative act or otherwise. What moie? Why, while in this disorganized state, mutilated and imperfect, a man gets up in the Senate and charges the President with whitewashing the South, and another man says that the conversation of the President, I believe with Mr. Dixon of your own State, in which he simply gave his views with regard to the duties of Congress, "would have cost Charles I his head in the day in which h^ lived." Such a body as that, I say, is an illegal, unconstitutional assemblage. It is, in point of law, a mob and in my judgment, the Mayor of Washington neglects his duty every day in not dispersing them as such. [Applause and Laughter .J And that is the noble army of Constitutional defenders which the Republican convention of this State indorses, and which the people are called upon 'o sanction and approve!

Of the evil of the policy of Congress in keepiug out of the Senate and House the Senators and Representatives of the Southern States, Mr. Van Buren says:

ors They are independent communities, ana there is nothing in the world to prevent them and if they are not in the Union, we could not prevent them from going on and doing the things I have described. To us who remember the principles upon which our independence was established, to the children who are familiar with the firBt great principles that lay at tho basis of that struggle, is it necesSiry to argue that if these people arc ribt represented they can not be taxed and

that that great prinyijple which was prominent in our strifo-^thut "taxation without representation is tyranny"—requires the immediate admission of these States to Congress, or the abstinence from taxation upon them by the General Government. [Applause.]

Mr. Van Buren also referred^ as a portion of the evil of this actiou on the part of Congress, to the condition of the business and financial interests of the country, and tho danger of general anarchy. Whether it be a "Rump" or a "Dawned Barebones" Congress, the people should, for the general interests, peace and prosperity of the country, set their seal of disapprobation on it.

TUc Ncwlaiul-Evans Tragedy. :A correspondent of the Indianapolis Herald gives tin* particulars me recent tragedy at Bedford, Indiana:

1

The particulars^of the affair are still fresh in the recollection of our readers. Although the town is full of the wildest riiniors, I am able to glean but little that is new, and at the same time authentic, in regard to the terrible affair. Dr. Newland, who is personally known to many of your readers, is a large, portly man, with a fair, florid complexion, thin nose a little aqtiilinc in its formation, a little bald on the" forehead, which gives that feature the appearance of unusual bight, He wears a full beard and moustache, dark brown in color, and slightly with grey. His countcniinco, though composed in appearance, bears the impress of the dreadful experience of the past ten days.

His daughter, Miss Helen Newiaiui, whose prospects in life have been thus cruelly blasted, is described as a line looking, intelligent and amiable young lady of eighteen. She had graduated "at the St. Agnes Institute, Terre Haute, having been thoroughly educated in the usual branches. She was completing her studies of music. I believe, at the same institution, up to the time when her unfortunate situation rendered her retirement necessary.

A letter, written by Evans to Miss Newland, and sent to Terre Haute, failing to reach her, was remailed to Bedford, and is now in the hands of the defense, and will be offered in testimony. The letter is eight or nine pages of note paper in length, and in it Evans hopes to make an arrangement some time in May to protect Miss N.'s character. What is the uature of the "arrangement" is not clearly shown. Evans also assures Miss N. that her father suspects nothing, and says that under pretense of borrowing a book, lie had gone to Newland's house, for. the purpose of'ascertaining if his suspicions had bcenlfr'oused.

Madison Evans is described as a man not particularly striking in his personal aniicarancc, but smooth spoken, oily, and insinuating, in his manner, lie was a member of the Christian church, in good standing up to the time of his escapade

the part of Congress? Wliy, it is great)i(jgwith Mrs. Johnson, a couple of months

us will readily occur to you. Among the important inconveniences of it are, that you have your eleven States, which, as I have said, have a Legislature and Government, and are within the territorial limits of the Government, but are utterly unrepresented in Congress. What is to prevent them, when they find they are not received, from raising armies, raising navies, forming alliances with eaoli other, making foreign treaties, and doing similar acts that arc vital to the preservation of the unity of States, and without which, not only their commerce can not be protected from foreign and domestic foes, but they cease to have a place among the nations of the earth? We all know that without the common Government, through the force of which we communicate with other Governments, by virtue of which we make these great provisions for the defense of our commerce and the defense of our common frontier—without this we have no natioual existence and no. position among the nations.of the earth. Now, will not these States if rebuffed ip, this way, immediately resort to the course that I have mentioned? Do you suppose it is a very alluring thing to invite these States to come back to pay their share of three thousand millions of dollars of debt, nearly the whole of which has been ex-pended-r-and rightfully expended—in destroying their property and their peace, and their lives-—in the language of Doctor Franklin, to pay for heating the poker? If it is not, why might they not turn away when rebuffed in this way? I ehs.ll WaDe^ered that the Constitution of

His wij^ is described n's 'a'n^a'iriiablc and intelligent woman, highly educated, and, though apparently timid and reserved in deportment, really a lady of considerable force character. Her maiden name wail Rattcrtod, and Evans married her at'Btaomington. "^HavflJg adhered to', the fortwSis'of'thc, dec-cased, with unreasoning fidelity fr'nd love, throughout his previous difficulties, she is now almost heart-btoken.

Evans lived on the hill, about the fourth of a mile north of town. After calling at the house, on the fatal night, Newland started -back to town, and met Evans at the foot of the hill. There weie no witnesses, but parties living near are reported to have heard the. challenge, the reply, the shooting, the voice of the dying man, imploring to be allowed to go home to die, the' frantic imprecations of the avenger, and the death struggle'which ensued. There is a great deal of wild, talk about this matter, which is not sufficiently authentic to bear repetition.

Mrs. Evans is said to have suspected nothing from Dr. Newland's visit, and did not hear the shot in the hollow below the house. The first intimation she is said to. have had-of anything-wrong, war* a vipit about nin* n'olonk from Elder

Matlies, accompanied by somo female friends. Knowing that the unusual visit portended evil tidings of some sort, Mrs. E. first thought that her father, who had been quite sick, was dead, and her first exclamation was "My God, is father dead?" She was told that it was worse—that Dr. Newland had killed her husband.'

Frantic with grief, horror stricken, the woman's love of the woman still clung to the unworthy man who had brought sharatfe upon her and disgrace to another happy household, and she entreated them to bring the body to the house. In the meantime the lifeless and- mangled remains of the libertine were taken to his office, washed, cleansed of its blood-stains, and dressed, so as to prc.-cnt a less ghastly appearance. The dreadful gashes in th'e throat were sewn up, and his cravat so arranged as to hide the wound, in which condition he was taken home.

There was some difference of opinion as to whether Newland fired one or two shots. At any rate, one shot took effect in the side, just above the hip. passing through the intestines, and lodging under the skin an the other side, inflicting a mortal wound. There is another wound in one of the arms, believed by some to have been a pistol shot. In addition, there was a heavy gash on the chin, and two others, frightful in extent, in the throat—one just below the chin, as if the knife had been struck through just back of the artery and ripped out, and another of the same character lower down.— One of the hands was cut to the bone, as if the dying man had grasped the knife, and there was also numerous.small stabs in the back of the neck and shoulders.— The knife nsp'l '""J?' two-edged, and sliarp instrument, callcd by surgeons a catling, and used in operating. It is a fearful instrument in the hands of a determined man, but so highly tempered as to be liable to break, as did this one in»

Another Noble. At of President Johnson. We do not think there ever was as corrupt a party 011 earth as the present Republican, self styled Union party, but which is, in fact, the party whose leaders committed, not only tho first treason against the Government, but the '"first' overt act of war, under .Toiix BROWN and we say, without fear 'of successful: i'• 1 refutation, that the responsibility of the crime of the late civil war rests on the shoulders of the Republican loaders, who threw the first stone of rebellion, nnd, as! it was, thrown back at them from the South, blood, blood, more blood, and it flowed, and it cost something in the way of taxes too.

ANDREW JOHNSON.

Executive Mansion, March 15. 1866. Says the Philadelphia Mercury Vs In New Hampshire, in the late canvass, several of these officials denounced the President, in no mcasurpd terms in-fact, one of them, Mr. John Demerrettj the postmaster $f Effiugham Falls, New Hampshire, made a short sp.cecli to a, crowd in his office,.."that it was. a great pity that there as not another Booth to. assassinate President Johnson." ThisQian. Demc.rrett is only one of a large class of' fawning sycophants who are ready once" more to bring grief to the nation. They are not satisfied with the blood already shed, and will only be appeased withf more. Their deviltry must be stopped ere it is too.late, and the President is^detormined that Nurtiicrn traitors shall be punished. as we!! as tho.-e from the South.

Conquering an Elephant.

After the regular performance at For-" paugh's circus.giid menagerie. Tenth and Ottlloivliill streets, on Saturday night.* a novel and e.Tcitmg scene was presented to ,1 number of persona who ware allowed to remain in the building. The fit of mndness which bus rendered me great elephaut Romeo, now 011 exhibition with the sho"W,' '':V totally unmanagable for a week past, has jalready been noticed in these columns, and also the attempts of his master, Mr. Cra-'. ven, to pacify the huge beast, without rejsorting to extreme violence. This ele--pliant is the largest one in thin con a try, weighing over five tuns, and standing nearly ten feet high. The inclosure now occupied by Romeo measures about twen-ty-eight feet square. When signs of illhumor first became apparent the beast was sccured by chains so. that he was 'kept about midway in the space. In that position there was 110 possibility of the elephant doing further dam a so than'* to occasionally raise with his head girder that sustained several tuns weight.-

The influence usually exercised over Romeo by Mr. Craven is certainly wonderful, and the ready obedience and sagacity of the beast has, perhaps, never been surpassed by any other performing elepliant in the United Stales.

The first had treatment to which thd furious'Romeo was subjected was stoppagS? of his daily food, a measure which, however unpleasant it. might, be to the offend-' ing beast, was undoubtedly favorable to' the purse of his keeper. For sever* days nothing whatever was given the elephant to eat or drink, and JIG remained upon his feet the whole time eas'ing his trunk rest*'" lessly about, while his keen eye flash*: ed the fiery spirit that governed him: Npu ,i.1 person dared venture within his reach^'" without increasing his disposition to b«J violent. ip

Anything^whatever within the'reach o£ -0his trunk was made a weapon of offense,, and several bricks lying in his way were, taken up and thrown with grcaty.force to the extremity of thc-buildi ng. Mr. Cra- .1 ven closely watched his-jjrisagjpr during the entire time, and when OKgape tyis* threatened, a rifle was brojigh? ipto. usbk and its contenUiiied into hisJiead.' Dur-' ing tlie few daysypf trouble no leds than 1 a dozen loads were discharged'at Romeo, one of them destroying his Tight' eye, an accident which greatly distresses Mr/. Craven, but its result is acceptable, as by no other means could the life of the /avorite little elephant, Juliet, have teenf saved.

After every means wmxjli had^been tried to enforce obedience had failed, Mr. Craveil determined'to subdue him by throw^ ing him from his feet, and .*rl5out'!ten"" o'clock oh Saturday evening the effort was commenced. Tackle sufficient to rig a small sized'ship was brought into use and made'fast to the chains, bound round the" feet of Romcio, and then attuchcd'to heavy stakes driven in the groiind about thirty yards distant. It required much trouble to get the animal", into tho desired position, and to intimidate Romeo two rifle shots were fired, one entering his trunk' and the contents of the other flashed off his side as if it -had struck upon a rock. About fifty iji ep, ,to,ok hold ol' the ropes attached to tho elephant, and: in a short time his feet were so drawn together that a few pulls upon a line at the side laid Romeo fairly upon the ground. The yells of the infuriated beutt, as he waB being conquered, were terrific, and for 8 few moments an unearthly ohorus- was kept up by the numerous other 'animals. After' being cowipeiled.'to remain ugqa.-. his side during-the-night? Romeo was released, and subsequeutly went through his usual performance in. the ring:withreadiness and submission.. The. elephant is now as docile as-ever he-vw«srthe only

evidence of his late bad humor being-the loss of an eye1and scars with which he marked—Philadelphia Press ...
