Two Sides to Every Case. THO Copperhead papers aro most passionately addicted to the practice of stating one sido only of every case in which tliey, as party organs, arc interested. For instance, they speak of the passage of the lato Military Reconstruction Bill, as intended to place several millions of people in a state of vassalage,* under "an ignominious despotism worse than ever existed before, &c., &c. Would it not to some extent modify this heartrending story to tell that they are thus punished on account of the most glaring, inhuman, and inexcusablo crime that man ever committed on earth—tho crimo of treason to a free .Republican Government? A crime committed, too, for the purposo of keeping four millions of human beings in a state of the most abject poverty, degradation, ignorance and inhuman bondage. Plcaso tell the icholc truth, gentlemen, even if it does mako your lamentations look rodieulous.
SOME ignorant Copperhead, in the last Review, complains because we exulted over the defeat of rebels at the olcction in Georgetown, I). always exulted over the defeat of ebols and Copperheads, whether on the field of battle or in political contests, and did not stop to enquire whether they wcro defeated by black soldiers or black voters. We prefer tho loyal black man to the whito traitor. If a "White Republican" is not sufficiently versed in the Geography of the coun
try,
to know that Georgetown is not in Maryland, he is about ignorant 'enough to join the Copperhead party.
THE New Albany Ledger says that great excitement prevailed in Greencastle last -week, over tho attack of a Mrs. Ward on a lawyor named J. A. Scott, whom she charged with circulating slanderous stories about her. Accompanied by her brother, who hold a revolver against' Scott's head, she stopped him in the street, dashed a bottle of vHrol in his face, probably destroying his sight, and then cowliidcd him severely. The public sympathy generally sides with Mr. Scott, the assault being regarded as brutal in the extreme, while it is thought that the victim is innocent of the chargc preferred against him.
Tcioes Vetoed.
The" President vetoed the Military and Tenure of office bills on Saturday, and Congress very promptly, by decisive votes, cast with an emphasis, passed tho measures over tho vetoes, and these important measures aro now laws. In the Senate, on the Military bill, Hon. Reverdy Johnson spoke in favor of passing it, and voted with the majority. The President's servants, Doolittle, Dixon, Cowan and Patterson voted as usual, with tho Democrats. Uuder the Tenure of Office bill the tho President can neither appoint nor remove an officer without the consent of the Senate, except for corruption, and even then his action is to bo reviewed by that body.
Tho President's hands arc now pretty effectually tied. lie finds himself viitually without power, and destitute of friends. If he should fail to sxocuto the Military bill ho will bo impeached and turned out of office) but his friends say he will causo the law to bo enforced.
At Last.
The President broke his promise, but Congress rnado him keep it in spite cf himself. He promised to veto the Reconstruction bill in timo to allow Congress to pass it over the veto if they could. Ho kept it till, to all appearance, its passage would bo impossible
and
wo aro certainly not imputing
any incredible lack of good faith in saying he did so purposely. But both houses were resolved, and his chicane was defeated by a promptness of action rarely before exhibited by any legislative body. The House passed it by a
voto
of ono hundred and thirty-seven to forty-seven, and the Senate by thir-ty-seven to eleven. It is now a law, and as Reverdy Johnson justly observed an opening is made for tho South to'emerge from the anomalous condition ill which the suppression of the Rebellion left it. The President has promised to exccute it he may, but if he does not, ho will bo justly liable to impeachment and ho will be impeached. It will be no idle work to make notoriety for some member of Congress itching for a public talk. It will bo serious and fatal work for the obstinate Executivo.
Tho Civil Office Tenure bill, which was vetoed at the samo time, was also passed by both houses over the President's objections. Another good work well done.
The space occupied by tho messages, and tho proceedings of Congress, will account for the lack of other matter and the incomplete report of. the logislativo business in this morning's paper.—State Journal
A little daughter of ALFRED WOODRUFF, of Greenfield, Mich., -was bitten some timo since by a rabid dog. A few days ago she was attacked by hydrophobia, suffering terrible agonic^, which continued till after consultation was had by physicians,, who decided that, as the sufferer could not survive, considerations of humanity dornandod that her sufferings be ended by some means, in accordance with which, duripg a severo paroxism, tho child was /smothered to doath.
Montgomery County Relief Bill. Our faithful and indofatigablo representative e,C tpt. MOCLASKEY introduced a Bill into the House of Representatives, to release tho citizens of this county from the paymont of some forty thousand dollars, caused by the defalcation of a Treasurer. Tho Bill passed the House, and was sent to the Senate, whero it was defeated bj* a majority of nine votes.
On motion by Mr. Milligan the bill [II. R. 189] to relieve Montgomery county conditionally from the payment to tho State $38,4-11, 69 &c., was read the third timo.
Mr. Milligan. Mr. President: The bill before the Scnato is ono for the releif of Montgomery county—tho county I have the honor to represent on this floor. It is not a bill to relieve us of an assessment against us that we have not paid, but sir, it is a bill to relievo us of a debt that we have paid to tho State and evcy tax paj'cr in our county has a receipt from tho accredited and lawful agent of tho State as evidence of tho fact.
You aro aware, Mr. President, that the Treasurer of Montgomery county was a defaulter to the State in the sum of thirty thousand dollars. The Treasurer filed his bond with eight good men as sureties on
Baid
bond, who
were worth in tho aggregate at least 8200,000, amply sufficient to have recovered from them tho whole amount due from tho Treasurer to tho State.
The Stato
employed
an Attorney
"to prosecuto the Treasurer on his bond. Now had this Attorney for tho State proceeded without delay to do so, tho whole amount of this money could have been rocoverod and secured to the State, as tho securcties had no good plea to mako against paying this amount. But by tho mysterious payment of 8300 at one time and §2,000 at another, these socuratics' wore rblieved from their obligation to tho State hence the effort to mako up tho deficit of this county to the State.
Mr. President, I claim that we can not now be jeopardized, nor should we be for the palpablo ncgligenco of the Attorney for the State. For as we have once paid our money to tho proper officer of tho State, as the law requires, and have his receipts therefor, we can not in justice bo required to pay it again.
Our County Commissioners have no power or authority over tho Treasurer so far as the Stato funds arc concerned, and althobgh they may be well informed that ho is squandering the mone}* of the State they have no power to prevent it. Our county has ever responded promptly to every call of the Government for men and means, (and no county has mado a better or brighter record during tho war than she has,) and she has paid all the State has asked of her. She b&s just closed up a debt of over half a million dollars contracted for filling tho quota of tho county under tho draft, and she has not for many years, if ever, asked for tho passage of any law by this Legislature, not- oven tho changing of a judicial circuit, that was not of general advantage.
Mr. President, I do not ask.this as a privilege, but as a matter of simple justico. 1. Prom the fact that we have paid the State all we owed hoi*. 2. That tho State had abundant security from which to make her claim, and it would be very unjust that we should bo taxed to pay a debt again that was lost by neglect or failuro of the State to prosccute and recover from the proper parties. 3. That our County Commissioner's levied all this county bond tax in ono year, consequently we have a very large delinquent tax list. 4. We are supporting a great many soldiers' widows and orphan children of deceased soldiers, perhaps more than almost any other county in the State.
gST The Dubuque Herald says that Jacob Wiseman, a German farmer living at Farley, Iowa, recently quarreled with his wifo, and beat her severely, in consequence of which sho left him, taking witli her their liitlo son. She persistently refused Wiseman's entreaties to come back, which seems to have rendered him insane. On Tuesday evening last he tore his corn crib to tho ground, leveled the fences surrounding his yard, and slaughtered a pair of cattle. He then went into the house, took off his coat and vest, laid them in the middle of the room, piled some bed clothing and combustible material on top, and then deliberately act the pile on fire. Tnc sight of the flames soon attracted the addition of the neighbors, who at that early hour had not retired, and they started for tho spot. Before reaching it they could distinctly-see Wiseman in what appeared to bo the midst of the flames, his form,being reflected in bold relief. Before they reached him Wiseman was scon to draw a razor or sharp instrument across his breast. Death did not come soon enough by this method, and he next made a slash at his throat, which proved fatal, though tho victim lived half an hour' and was perfectly conscious to tho last. He got up walked out of tho house, and staggered t'o a fcnce near by, where he was found by tho men, who say that ho presented a ghastly spectacle. Bcforo ho could be taken up, or a medical attendant called, he was a corpse. Tho house and all tho furniture contained in it were burned.

Tho origin of tho portrait for the Godcs3 of Liberty upon our coins, is of great interest. Mr. Spencer the inventor of Spencer's lathe, uscd'by the American Bank Note Company, was the artist who cut the first die lor our American coin. He cut an exact medallion of Mrs. Washington, tho wifo of General Washington, and the first fow coins were struck off with her portrait. When Washington saw them ho was disploascd, and requested the figure to be removed. Mr. Spencer altered tho featuros a little putting a cap upon its head, called it tho Godess of Liberty.
A TERRIBLE! TRAGEDY.
Murder in Open Court—A Scene of Intense Excitement—-A Father's Vengeance. -i
[From the Philadelphia Inquirer, Fob. 21.]
We are called upon to record another bloody and fatal occurrence, which, to add to its horrors, was perpetrated within the portals of a court of justice, and just at the moment when the judge was taking his scat to open the business of tho day, surrounded by members of the bar, jurymen, witnesses, court officials and spectators.
CIRCUMSTANCES OF T1IE CASE. On the lGtli of April last, a German named George Filar, aged about 28 years, with dark hair, slight moustache and goatee, and thin face, was arrested, charged with a heinous offense—an aggrivated assault on a little girl, named Louisa Leis, aged between cloven and twelve years, and who resided with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Leis, at No. 850 Orchard St., Twelfth Ward. Ellar lived at No. 870, in tho same street. It was alleged that the assault was committed in one of the lower rooms of Leis' house, in tho evening, and while the family of Leis wcro up stairs. "Upon this charge Ellar was brought bcforo a magistrate, who held him in heavy bail to answer. Mr. George Rankin entered bail for the accused. Ellar was reloased and he immediately absconded, forfeiting his bail. Aboutfour weeks ago, Mr. Rankin, by some means, ascertained that Ellar was residing in Harrisburgh. lie proceeded there immediately, procurod his arrest and had him brought to this, city and placed in Moyamensing Prison.
THE MURDER.
Every day for a week past, Ellar has been brought up to court and placed in the prisoner's dock, to be in readiness in tho event of his case being called for trial. Leis, with his wife and daughter, were also in attendance daily. It was understood that the case would be the first one called yesterday morning. At 10 o'clock the prison van was driven up as usual, tc the Sixth street entrance of the Court House, and one or two prisoners had been taken into the court room and placed in tho dock, and officer David Banks followed with Ellar in his charge.
Tho Court room was crowded, as usual. Mrs. Leis and her daughter occupied seats upon the west side of the room, while Mr. Leis purposely, it is supposed, in order to got a fair chance at his victim, took a seat at the end of tho bench, west of tho north door of tho court room, where he knew Ellar must pass in order to reach tho prisoner's dock. As Officer Banks entered the door with his prisoner, Leis, without leaving his seat, drew a revolver from an inside pocket of his coat, and deliberately fired at Ellar. The shot took effect in the region of the heart, and tho prisoner, falling back into the arms of Officer Kritzer, uttered the exclamations, "Oh! Oh! Oh!" The wounded man was at once carried into tho office of the Clerk of the CQurt, where he died in a minute or two.
DEPORTMENT OF TIIE MURDERER. Leis made no attempt to escape.— He was instantly seized by Mr. Geo. U. Taylor, one of the tipstaves of the Court. Officer Silverthorn wrested tho pistol from his hands. It was a six-barrelled revolver, and five loads remained in it.
The murderer was immediately placed before Judge Ludlow, who was upon the bench at the time, and he expressed a desire to mako a full statement of the affair, but the Judge refused to listen to him, and, after hearing evidence of tho fact of the murder, ho committed the accused to answer. Ho was immediately removed to Moyamensing Prison.
Although Leiti made no formal detailed statement, he admitted that he had committed the deed to avenge the wrongs of his daughter that he had done ic deliberately, and that ho was prepared to take tho consequences.
ITOW TWO WIVES WERE AFFECTED The wifo and daug'ntor of Leis, although present, could not comprehend what had happened for some timo after tho occurrence, and their cries and lamentations when they learned that tho husband and father had imbued his hands in blood, were painful in the extreme. :j,
Tho wife of Ellar was also in the court.room, and-her feelings on learning tho fate of her husband may be more readily imagined than described. She had, a few moments before the occurrence, paid a fee to tho counsel to defend her husband.
Tho body of Ellar was removed very soon attwi' the occurronoo, to the Coroner's offiqft, and placed in a neat coffin in tho dead-room. Tho breast was uncovered, and tho spot where the fatal bullet entered was exposed to view.
The wife of*the murdfbrcd man was sitting upon a chair, with her face buried in her hands, sobbing bitterly, and begging to be taken into the room where tho body of her husband was lying. Of courso this request was refused, ana the poor woman became almost hysterical in her grief, asserting the innocense of her dead husband. and denouncing. Leis i% the Avildest language. By order of the Coroner she was removed, after being somewhat pacified with the promise that the body of her husband- should be sent homo early in the afternoon.
A little girl, niecoof Captain Childs, is reported to have fallen heir tP & fortuno of 61,500,000. This little hcirops resides in Portsmouth, Va., and is thus suddenly enriched by the death of a relative in England. She is but seven or eight years of ago,
The latest rumor is that young Bennett's fame has won the heart of an English girl, whose father is a member of Parliament, and whose wealth is of a nature to satisfy tho most avaricious mind, and that he is to bring her back with him as Mrs. J. G. Bv Junior.
Hydrophobia at Indianapolis—A Frightful Case. [From (ho Ihdiariapolis Herald, Feb. 25.]
About ten weeks since, as Mr. Alexander Pope was walking along Virginia avenue, near tho greenhouso of George & Hack, ho was attacked by a strange dog, which ferociously sprang upon "him, without any provocation or warning, and continued biting until it had terribly mangled both of his hands. Mr. Pope fought the dog for some timo with his hands and feet, and then taking out hifi pocket knife, opened it with his teeth, and stabbed the brute until it was dead. Tho animal held on to his right hand until it was weakened by loss of blood, and then dropped off and died. .Mr. Pope's wounds were cauterized and soon healed. He experienced some anxiety at tho time, through dread of hydrophobia, but so long a timo having elapsed tho circumstance had almost passed from his mind. Last Wednesday night, howovcr, he complained of feeling strangely, and pasc-ed a restless and feverish night. In the morning he did not get up, but sent out for a bottle of ale. Tho alo was brought, and he drank about half a glass, but did not seem to relish it. In about an hour ho tried to drink some more, but tho moment tho glass touched his lips he was seized with a slight shuddering spasm, and an unconquerable dread of liquids. From that timo up to a few hours before his death, no liquid passed his lips. Ho complained of constriction about tho chest, difficulty of breathing, a sharp pain in one of his shoulders, and groat thirst. Several physicians were called in consultation who administered opiates and other medicines, but could n'ot prevail upon the sufferer to drink water or liquids of any kind. He would attempt it, but the moment a glass or spoon containing liquids approached his lips, lie would bo seized with a spasm, and would gasp as if ho had "lost his breath." Ono of his attendants, Mr. Melville Rollans, fixed a hollow reed and got the patient to take it between his teeth, telling him he would place the other end in a cup of water out of sight, and he could then suck it up.— The
moment,
however, the other end
of the reed was placed in tho water, Mr. Popo was seized with a spasm.— Ho lingered until ton o'clock Saturday night, and then died, having been rational all the time, and without any violent spasms. He was attended throughout his illness by Melvin Rollins, Mr. Hewitt, and his family. Mr. Rollins went to him on Wednesday, and never left his bedside until he died,
Mr. Pope was a man in humble circumstances, and an cstimablo citizen. He bore his sufferings with calmness and fortitude, conversing rationally with those around him, and died peacefull}* and apparently with but little suffering.
The occurrence of this easo of hydrophobia is well calculated to startle dog owners and dog protectors. Occurring as it did at a timo when there was no excitement, and when it was not known that there was a mad dog in the community, it- was peculiarly significant. It will serve to disabuse tho public mind of the popular but fallacious idea that dogs only contract hydrophobia at certain seasons, and that muzzling throughout July and August is asafegunrd.
A Curious Humor.
The Denver Ncv.s says that there is a curious rumor from the mountains, by a gem loin an just down, thai a 10markn'u!". pocket or cavity has been found in one of the mines near (irogor3* Point, Ih.c waiis of which aro absolutely lined or pi a tod with gld. Its informant had soon a small specimen from it which was valued at two hundred dollars. The discoverers seem to bo keeping it a secret. Alining operations were retarded somewhat by unfavorable weather, yet good results are reported from tho different lodes. Tho last week's shipment of geld dust amounted to nine hundi sixtv-seven ounces.'
and
TIIE RKCONSTRUSTION ACT.—Tho Military Reconstruction Act passed the Senate by a voto of 35 to 7, and in the House by 125 to 40. It provides: 1. Military protection for those to whom the local authorities refuse it. 2. Provisional Governments and citizens put out on their good behavior. 3. Universal male suffrage. Constitutions to conform to that of the United States, and acceptable to Congress. 4. The ratification of tho Constitutional Amendment. 'jr 5. Restoration of tho State Government aud Representation in Congrc-is on fulfillment pf above provisions.
AT the first meeting of tho Congressional Temperance Society held at Washington, recent!}-, Senator Yates said he had joined the pledge for good, and had made his convenant with God. When he signed the pledge, ho raised himself to his full height for ho was fr .although he had considered himsc moderate drinker, it had been puDiishcu through tho land that liewas. a drunkard. There was some truth and error in this. He had the failing, when drunk, of letting everybody know it. His speeches were not frequent but long and loud. The groat Commonwealth of Illinois had for twcnty-fi\ro years honored him in all public positions and ho had now promised that State and all who loved him, Kate and the children, that he would never more touch, taste or handle the unclean thing. He intended to fight it out on that lino till the last of his existence. In conclusion, ho read a cheering and joyous letter from his wife, in response to the good news that he had signed the pledge, which moved many in tho audience to tears.
A HAPPY COMPARISON.—An old lady, remarkablo for her confused idea of tho 'meaning of wox-ds, describes a clear summer morning thus: It was a beautiful bright night—the moon made every thing as light as a cork.
