We do net wiah to be an alarmist, but as a mhhful chronicler of psssing events, it becomes our unpleasant duty to record the fact that the revolution, inaugurated by Jesse D. Bright, in 1845, to secure his election
to the Senate, haa progressed fearfully and rapidly, until a complete state of anarchy prevails, and the government has fallen into the hands of usurpers, who claim tho right to open and close our institutions at pleasure, ssd to appropriate the people's money without law, and contrary to law. The progress of this revolution has been more rapid than could have been anticipated. Sustained by party in the first movement, the revolutionists have taken step after step until now they defy law and ignore the people. A second time they thwarted the will of the people, by refusing to go into elections required by law, and then, when
they could not otherwise succeed, a mere M
political caucus, composed of membera of the revolutionary party, met in sham conveation. went through a aham election of
continuing the arch traitor in his
i of power. To add insult to the ripht
thoa outraged, there was found an Attorney General ready to give any opinion the revolutionists desired, who decided that a majority of the Legislature, met in caucus might do a legislative act, though one or both branches of the Legislature, in a legislative capacity, might repudiate it After refusing to elect, as the law required, the acting dictator, Gov. Wright, made appointments of officer without law, and contrary to law, and apportioned the legislature, without law, and contrary to law, and officer thus appointed yet continue in office by the will and direction ol the dictatorship which haj usurped the government of the State. But the mere distribution of office among the revolutionists is trifling compared with the later movements. When the bill for raising revenue was before the Senate, and also the bill appropriating funds to the benevolent institutions, and for other purposes, the revolutionary party, to promote their revolutionary designs, broko the quorum, and otherwise prevented legislation on questions having precedence to all others, and thus prevented the passage of the revenue bill end the appropriation bill. In conscqucnee of this, and further to promote the designs of the revolutionsry party, the asy lums were closed though they miht have been kept open without any violation of law or precedent But party capital was to be manufactured, and the party that had tram, pled law and constitution under foot cared neither for the ravings of the maniac, nor the gropingaof the blind, nor the silent sorrow of the mutes they knew but one end. the success of their revolutionary schemes. After having dispersed the inmates abroad, some to jails and some to poor houses, and
some to far distant States, when one wail of
sorrow comes ap from the entire State, when
men of ull parties, except the expectants of
the revolutionary party, call for redress, the
usurpers, instead of answering the err as
provided for by law and the constitution, deliberately walk opto the people's treasury, and unlock its vaults, in the face of the law. Thus they close the institutions at pleasure, end open them at pleueurc. The Senttiic!. the organ of the revolutionary party, very coolly says, in announcing the opening : "The people will now know bow to appreciate these institutions." Yes, and how to appreciate the glorious privilege of being governed by a band of Dictators, who osea and close tho ople vaults at their pleasure. Bet this ia not enough. To take control of the purse ia not sufficient To stave off elections ia the legislature, absolutely required by law, that the Dictator may appoint, instead of the people's repre-

But he has now expressed iL He regards the "public welfare." as so imperiously "requiring'' the appropriation of public moneys, that he has signed a paper, advising the Treasurer of State to disregard his official bond and oath and pay out moneys in violation of both. Has the Governor regarded hi official oath ? We ask for information. Of course wo don't know. We don t even express an opinion.

How has he kept . Remember, the call for a session of the Le

We suggest the propriety of getting up blank forms of resignation so that Judges and others who havc not sense enough or 'larnin' enough, can resign for certain, when they want to. A common man, like Judge Oookins, might at least be able to fill up the blanks, so as to express his meaning If this be not thought best, let "the officers of State" attho next "meeting, " ordnin or "advise" that any body wishing to resign an office shall apply to Dictator McDonald for an "opinion" before he shows himself n fool in trying to write a resignation all by himself.

lady a few days ago who has had a cancer cured by Dr. Lewis, of Andersonville and without using the knife. That a very painful and growing tumor under the eye, has gone away, there is noquestino. That it was pronounced a proba. ble cancer by the regular doctors, aud that they advised the knife instanter, is also true. But according to the doctrine that a caneer cant't be cured, or if you cure it, it wasn't a cancer, they now aay it wasn't much of a cancer, if any at all. Dr. Lewis is a faith doctor. Regulars don't like that kind they believe in works, such as knives, pills and the like.

during the present seasiou they hnve inostigatcd seven coses of crime, and havo examined a large number of witnesses, and they have found xku investigation, thut with but ono exception, every case of high crime which has come before them has been tho rosult of the use of intoxicating liquors, or has in some manner been produced thereby. In the case of murder which they have been csllod upon to investigate, they have found that a jug of whisky, ynrchased on Suit day in thr city of Richmond, was the muin exciting cause which led to the commission of the crime, and was standing by when the fatal blow waa struck. ' In several other casoa crime has been perpctruted under the inflaenco of ardent spirits, w hon without them the parties would uo doubt have been spared the deep disgrace as well as punishment to which they havc rendered themselves liable. The Grand Jury, in view of theso facta, and many others that have come usder thoir fbsorvation, desiro to exprcsH thoir deliberate conviction that at least nine-tenths of the crime which prevails in our land maybe, traced either immediately or n inoteiy to the 1 ia lei til i Hilm -nee of intoxicatiug liquors and they believe that crime and bloodshed will not ueoee to abound so long as such liquors continue to be the subject of indiscriminate traffic and use in the country. 8.
