This bill authorizes lWwleut to nur.cnd' and amoint during t.e recess of .C.nprc-, and requires him, j within thirty days after the reassembling of that body, to report to the Senate a list of stu'h suspensions and appointments; and in case the Senac dues not confirm his actiou, the suspended officer will reume his pl.icc. The House refused to concur, and the Senate refused to recede, and asked for a committee of conference, ted by the House. which was ranReorganization of the Judiciary. j The lower House of Congress has adopted a substitute for the Senate bill provi- i .lint Tor rfioranizntion of the Judicial ; ystem of the United States. The substitute provides that the Supreme Court shall -on?ist of a Chief Justice and eight acting Associate Justices, and to make the requisite number an additional Associate Justice is to be appointed by the Presi-

Justice of the Supreme Coart appointed for that circuit. Any Justice of the Supreme Court, seventy years of age, who shall have served ten years on the bench, may, ou his ewn application, be retired trom service. The principal point of difference between this and the Senate bill is the provision for the retirement of Justices who have served ten years, and who have attained the age of seventy years.

Journalisms. A cacus of political thimble -riggers of Washington commanded the Democratic members of the Legislate to resign without passing the Appropriation bill, knowing that that revolutionary step would necessitate an extra session of the Legislature, and involve half of the counties of the State in the expense of epecial elections. The order was obeyed and the people must pay the cost. But what care the thimble-riggers? Their pockets do not suffer by the operation. Our Democratic cotemporaries who have bad to little use ior the rooster cuts, here

tofore, should use them liberally now, to manifest their joy over the "great victory" they gained over the darkies on Tuesday. Tlicy. have had, for once, the luxury of an e!ection at which none but Democrats vo- . i The re elected bolters come back pledged to break up the Legislature again as soon as the Constitutional Amendment comes up for discussion. Perhaps a few more special elections will convince even Democratic tax-payers that such amusements may be made too expensive for comfort. The Democrat of forty odd counties in this State, had a free election on Tuesday. 11 'l was not lair ,neJ alonc are al Iau,r' 09 Republicans took no part in it, save in three or four counties. Ratifying by Telegraph The Secretary of State of Missouri has received a communication from the De partment of State at Washington, stating that the ratification of the 14th Amend raent by the 31 issoun legislature is mr l. -l: .1 iinng rauuea is nor, a cori rect eopy, the second section being oniitI te J. It will be remembered that the Lee islature ratified a telegraphic report, which. for economical reasons, omitted the second sectiou, because that remained in its originai snape. mere was no need ol tins expedition; but it was thought better to show alacrity. The worst speed was made by this haste, as the Legislature has adjourned and will not meet till next winter. In the haste there were also some verbal omissions and some orthographical errors until it was received through the State De partment in due form. But the aspiring politicians of the Legislature thought the opportunity a good one to prove their capacity in an emergency, and we feel that the result has shown the correctness of this view. They have succeeded in making themselves the laughing stock of the whole country, and have caused a good deal of chagrin to the intelligent men of their party. And to crown if all, the affair is traveling over the whole country with Baker's speech, as if the faux pas were not ridiculous enough in itself. We lose all patience when we reflect that we have to fight such desperate political battles, to have the advantages ot victory frittered away by the incapacity of our men 11 ow ing, Oil, Lord! Easter. Easter is a movable feast, being the firBt Sunday after the full moon which happens rr upon or next after the 21st day of Maich y 1 mi 1 (tne vernal equinox;. . i lie period during i which it can occur etends from March 22 to April 25 thirty five days. From this feast the Christian passover are calculated all the movable feasts, as well as the fasts, observed by Christians. Easter is called from the Saxon "Ostcr," TO RISE, being the day commemorative of Christ's resurrection; or, as others think, from the Teutonic goddess Ostera, whose feast was celebrated early in spring. The egg at Easter is an emblem of the rising out of the grave, in the same manrising out of the grave, in the same manner as the chick, entombed as it were in ..... , he egg, is in due time brought to life.

Passage of the Currency Bill. The Bank bill, as finally passed by the

Senate, withdraws thirty millions from Eastern and Northern banks for the South and Weht, which must be done within three months. The opinion of the House is so much divided that it is wholly impossible to tell what will be done in that body with the measure. Ladies' Own Magazine. Mrs. Bland's new women's paper, the Ladies' own Magatine, comes to us for April with every page brimful of choice reading. We rejoice to hear that this effort to establish a sensible, useful and high-toned ladies' paper is a decided success. The large edition with which it started is already ex hausted, and it is now offered the balance of the year for only seventy-five cents the cheapest reading we know of.

A Just Rule. The President and Cabinet have agreed upon a rule that will give solid comfort to office holders who can show a clean bill of health as liepublicans. No Republican now holding office is to be removed, except for cause, prior to the expiration of the term for which be was appointed. Now will come the tug between the ins and outs as to the soundness of political faith of the ins. The steadfast Republicans will have no difficulty in staying in, but those who tried to carry water on both shoulders, and did not come out for the Republican candidates until satisfied that their prospects of success were the best, will probably have 10 stand sieges and assaults trom expectants who claim a better political record. The rule adopted by the President is so manifestly just that no reasonable objection can be urged against it. The only difficulty will be in making an application of it to particular cases. Journal. Cincinnati, Richmond and Ft. Wayne Railroad. The long looked for railroad through from Cincinnati to Ft. Wayne begins to manifest signs of life, and conjectures are being made, not if it will be built, but in how many months we may hear the whistle from the South. President Parry expects work to commence on the road about tke middle of next month. It will not be long in reaching Winchester and giving us direct communication with Cincinnati. The requisite amount of stock is so nearly taken tiiat the knowing ones expect the road to be put under contract about the first week of next month. The new directors will be chosen on the 6th of April, at Richmond. Business men want to keep their eyes open and make arrangement for the increased demand. There will be a shaking among the dry bones as if more than a gentle ; breeze stirred them when, with iron fury. comes the energetic speculators who are alw "h,ld lr bargain.

Winchester Journal. The Appeal to the People.

Will they try it over, for j another endorsement? Will they try it over- ana cause tne tax payers to loot an additional burthen of an hundred thousand dollars or more? Shelby Union. Among the important bills that failed to pass the State Senate, was one abolishing the petty but expensive April elections, and the county elections held each alternate year. This-' bill, bad it become a law, would have saved to the tax payers of the State the round sum ofSlOO.OOO ! per annum. It had passed the House, the Democratic regard for the people been as great as was their fear of "the nigger." If the people are willing to increase their ; taxes to gratify the silly whims and blind prejudices of a few bone headed leuif lators, they have the right to do so. Shel by Union. The meager vote received on the 23d, by the fugitives from the Legislature, is sorely mortifying to their vanity. To make amends for their disappointment, they send dispatches abroad reporting marvellous gains. "Smith gains two hundred in Snipe Creek township." "Noodle sweeps Persimmon Creek like a whirlwind,'' are specimens of the extatic news sent out by the mountebanks who appealed to the people to endorse their cowardly abandonment of duty, and come back with a vote razeed one half since last October. '"Gains," where candidates run without opposition, is a new way of describing a diminished vote. Journal. In forty-six counties iu this State the alarmed Democracy have made another effort to save themselves from being subjugated by a handful of black men. The 160,000 Democrats of Indiana are standing in almost breathless suspense, awaiting the dread decision of tbe question whether they or 6,000 blacks shall rule the State. That of itself is enough to arouse the Democratic party to unexampled effort, but there is a more fearful question- in the background. We have the most solemji assurances from the Democratic press and orators, that in case Sambo is permitted to vote, white Democrats must marry "niggei" wives, and blooming damscls-of Dcui-

ocratic parentage will seek husbands among the comely sons of Ham. We have never been able to see the logical results that Democrats deduce from these premises, but their own organs are more competent judges than we of the probable effect of negro suffrage upon the Democratic masses; therefore we bow to their superior knowledge upon this delicate subject.

Andersoxville, March 28th, 1869. Dtar American. Andersonville is re 1 deemed. This is the second Sunday for the last many years that we have been rid of the presence of a whisky shop and its disgusting fruits. Lew Sherwood absconded some two weeks since; left between two days, and swindled his creditors out of all he could soak them for. A gambler a seducer a common rum shover he was upheld in this place by the whisky element, ntil, forced by our efforts to rid us of whisky and its evils, he was driven like a thief from among his many admirers and now disconsolate friends. We all pity the forsaken gin-sucks and their repectable(?) allies, and hope something may be found ! to comfort them. I expect they will now swear they never were of the whisky piersuasion, but always tcere opposed to intemperance. What a queer way people hare of showing their prejudice? They set their face so forcibly against whisky that it breaks in at their mouth. Don't we remember now a worthy and honorable phjscian who traveled all the way to Brookville and without being subpeenied. and got into the case aud swore that the majority of our community considered Lew j Sherwood a man of "good character?" Such witnesses as he and an honorable trader we know of, could sustain either a whisky hell or a "check. apron" hotel by such swearing. By the way, Mr. American, what and ! where is the difference between a Bum j Shop and a Bawdy House? If men's i passions demand one, do they not demand ' the other? Is the man that seduces your j son, any better than he who seduces your j daughter? Is mere bodily virtue anything, j where the heart is depraved? Does he who has no respect for your children, have any more than a moeic f ! his own? The man who would seduce the i u .u r. i j j r .i .i ' boys, the husbands ai;d fathers of the; ,v .

J . P. Okr. Blooming Grove Township, 1 March 29th, 1869. j Ed. American, The time is rapidly approaching for the nomination of a County Commissioner, and it is to be hoped that the people will not choose hastily. There are more important matters to be considered by the above named officer than build ing a bridge in Dearborn County, or giving contracts to those men only who are recommended by M. M. Mooje of this Township. The gentleman aforesaid boasts that no contracts or appointments are given in this Township unless he ("White Pine") consents to them. And he speaks truly. One, at least, of the present Board of Commissioners seems to be under the complete control of Moore, and obeys him in all things without question. Does this august body think there are no decent men in this sectiou who ought to have the contracts, &c? We are tired of this thing, and hope the people will not forget to vote against the officer named, when he presents himself for reoomiuation in April. Democrat. Of the few thousands of colored men resident in this State, a large number were soldiers in the Union army, and as such fought to preserve our Government from destruction. Some of them carry the cvi-

deoce of their devotion to the country in the shape of wounds which will forever disable them. To prevent even the discussion of a proposition to give these men the ballot, the Democratic members broke np our Legislature by resigning their seats. There are probably more men in this State who bore arms in the rebel service, than the whole number of colored men over twenty-one years of age. Every one

of these rebels is a voter, and in counties where elections were held on Tuesday, they flocked to the polls and voted against enfranchising the black men who fought against them Verily, we are a liberal people, when we outlaw our friends and reward our enemies. "Journal. For the Bolters. Whether there shall be any legislation had in this State for the benefit of tax payers, by the present General Assembly, or any oilier that may be elected within the next ten years, is to depend, wc suppose, upon the sovereign will of Democratic caucuses, to be held jn this city or Washington, as the file leaders may chance to be in one place or the other. It has become a principle of the so called Democratic party, that the minority must be allowed to rule, otherwise there shall be no rule at all; consequently no good law can be enacted, nor a bad one repealed, without first passing the ordeal of a Democratic caucus. The Bolters acheived a noble triumph yesterday, over "the nigger," and will come to the Capitol so flushed with their wonderful victory, that we feel some hesitation in venturing to suggest to their High Mightinesses that a li. lie attention to the interests of their white constituents may not be entirely beneath their notice. About two-thirds of the direct taxes paid by the people of Indiana bave been collected and disbursed for county and towiiMiip purposes, and the ratio of local taxation will hereafter be greater, as the State taxes were materially Teduced at the late session of the Legislature. Is there any good reason why we should pay G, 000, 000 evry year in local taxet? Does not every man who has given the sulject a thought, know that no such sum is necessary to delray the proper expenses , "u M-v a,,u . au ,l"ls;ra' et local taxes will not be reduced unless . . . , .

And to that end this briogs in the whole people. But in Utah they do not go by popular sovereignty, but by direct revelation. Brigham had a revelation that the Saints were to take unto them wives after tbe manner of the patriarchs. Will the women dare to vote against the direct revelations of their prophet? Will they not rather bow in submission to the man who comes with such a dread commission in his hand, and say, "Be it unto thine bandaiaid as thou wilt." This project must have been suggested by the t ree declarations the woman's rights advocates are making, that if the women get the ballot they are going to make a radical reform of the present legal marriage. Gazette. A New fVlap Probable. In the wars .of Napoleon it used to besaid of every fresh declaration of hostilities that the emperor was about making anew map of Europe. The South tried to make a new map of the United Stages by war, and tbe only result wa the dismembermeut of Virginia. But it seems that we are likely to have a redivision of three or four old States, Alabama taking the western part of Florid, and Delaware annexing the eastern shores of Maryland and Virginia; which changes, with the partition of Texas and. the merging of portion of Northern Michigan and Wisconsin with the rising State of Ontonagon, will make all our present maps useless, and stimulate an active rivalry in the publi-satiuu-of new oucs.
