COL. MILLIGAN AT HOME.

Ills Ueccntlon Iijr lbts lrrt)10. WELCOME SPEECH OF MAYOR KOCHER. Colonel Milligan's Keply. Patriotic Spcrrli by C. II. Itccvc, ot i'lymoistli. From the Ft. Wayne ren.?rat, lftli. We had hoped to bo enabled, in the Democrat of this evening, to give a full report of tho speeches made at the reccpU ion of Col. Millipjan ly his friends at Huntington, on Thursday last hut the remarks of Mr. Coffroth are wanting to make report o( the reception proceedings complete. The Mayor, Win. C. Kocher, Esq., aildres.sed the Colonel as follows : Col. Millii;:ui : Iu behalf of your fellow citizens of Huntington, and 1 may say, in behalf of this large assembly of people. Collected toLvthcr from the surrounding country, I bid you welcome once more to your homo, to mingle with your family and these people who have so long and so well known you, and who have loiij; since look. cd upon .you as a man of eminent legal ability ,: a statesman and one who has ever been true; tu the Constitution and love of his count y. On the 4th day of October, 1S(U. while at home surrounded by the family you loved, lying prostrate upon .1 bed ofafflieticn, at the dark hour of midnight you were ruthlessly dragged away from family and friends and conveyed to a political JJastile, where you was confined for months, without any accusation undo against you. Charges were then preferred, for what? Treason! Treason to what? Treason, not against the (Jovernmcnt, hut that you did not support an Administration whose principles were not in accordance with the plain nnd broad teachings of the Constitution of your country. Tried by a mock court, principally composed of drunkards men who were not familiar with the first principles of law, you were condemned to be hanged until you were dead, dead ! Through the influence of friends, your sentence was commuted to imprisonment for life. You were conveyed in irons to the Onio Penitentiary, where for a long time ou, without law, occupied a cell dedicated alone to felons. Your case was brought before the Su. pretne Court ofthc United Stales. After Ing and laborious arguments of the most eminent couscl ofthc counlry, a l!eiublb an court decided that you had been U legally tried and illegally condemned and sentenced. To-day your fellow citizens at home and all good citizens throughout tho land look upon your arrest and imprisonment as an outrage upon American liberty; a dark spot upon the pages of American history. You come home to-day honored and be loved. You come to enjo the society of friends and neighbors. Vou come to obey the Constitution and laws, as 3 011 have done during 3our entire lifo. This large assembly of your fellow citizens bear me witness to this fact. While they look upon vou to-day, their hearts are filled with emotions of 103 that 3ou are once more among them, enjoying 3'otir liberty and the society of family and friends. rJ hc3 know that 3our actions and 3011 r sentiments in ti e past, will be guaranteed for the future. Therefore they honor 3'ou, they trust 3011. In thoir behalf, again I sa3, thrice welcome, Col. Milligan. To which Col. Milligan responded: Mr. Ma3or : Friends and Neighbors and such I know 3011 arc. Did my sense of propriety call for an extended response to ho imposing a reception, I have neither the physical nor mental ability to give it; but overcome by the spontaneous cntbusi asm of the occasion the acclamations of gladness that greet mc the tears of joy that flow from thousands around me, fill my bosom with cmc.ions that have no utterance, and I can only thank 3-011 for so proud a testimonial, i prize it because it conies from .ywr. neighbors, with whom I hare spent the best energies of 1113 life, and from whom I never concealed the most sc ci'C1 aspiration of my heart. I value it the more, because it U not the added pas geant of a giddy multitude tendered to a great name, whoso success may have lent dignity to crime; but it is the untutored expression of 30 ur conviction that I had never wronged 1113 country or folbw man nor did those who clamored loudest for 1113 oppression, ever upeot me of any wrong. I thank vou, and accept it a an j ... t approval of my life as a citizen and neigh bor, and a proof that it is not the acts of others that can degrade a man, but that each must Rtand upon the bisis of his own manhood. What revolutions in government or society have intervened muco my seclusion I know not, but I am and always have been opposed to revolutions, believing! thatKcldom if ever have their fruits c(uaK J led their cost 1 treasure, blood und moral retrogression. I thank 3'ou, friends and neighbors, for this glowing tribute ofes teem, and I would be the more happy recipient if 1 was isure that through the ordeal I have just passed my deportment was worthy ho flattering a token . Your Kindness has imposed upon mo obligations that I will never be able to discharge, and must remain uurcuittc, but to live among you and commingle, as heretofore, our efforts for the promotionof the intcroKts of our country and the happiness of our raee, i the highest ambition of my heart. My friends, I must leave you. There is one I have not seen yet, who has wept most for my misfortunes, but I hope and trust will ncvec luve occasion to blush for my infamy, whom) claim.' to my pres. euer I cauuot re ijt.

Thanking ycii again, please excuse any further remarks. Col Milligan thru retired, and Charles

Kecvc, Ksq., of I'tymouth, was called up. on and responded as follows: M3' fellow citizens and friends, I fear I cannot talk to 3011. When the heart is full with grief or J03' the tongue refuses utterance, andnoman can talk. When I think and realize that our loved and honored friend is in our mi -1st, '', my heart expands with joy so intense as to be almost painful; but when I look lipo sunken check, bleached in the shallow of the prison wall, and see his feeble frame worn down by toil and waut of wholesome food; when I think of those l"ng, dreary months of silent agon3'; of his desolate fireside, about which gathered the sad, ?ad hearts ot his loved ones, whose longings went out and sought in rain to penetrate those prison walls, and carrv consolation to the weary dying soul within, while I and you have been at home, with comforts, love md peace around us, grief -o'crwhclms me like a flood and chokes all utterance. Then when I think of the outrage and insult heaped upon him in the name of liberty; ofthc desecration ofcvcrv rightof man; of the ruthless hands that struck down the law, and trampled in the dust the sacred shield erected for our protection; the time, the place, the manner and the cause, indignation mingling with grief and jo3 swells the heart with such mingled emotion? that tears alone can express the feelings the quivering lips cannot utter. Dlinded by 1113' own tears; striving to gaze upon these upturned, quivering, tearful faces around 111c; the thought of that wasted form and palled face, now comes back to us as all that's left of him we loved so well; how can 1 talk? I cannot ! Ohl "Let pity, like a new born babe Striding the blast; or Heavt-n's f-licrubim Horsed upon the sightless cowricr of the Air, blow the horrid deed in cv'ry Kye, that tears shall drown the wind." It is hard to realize that the long, ihrk night i.i nearl3 over, and that da3 begins to dawn for us once more. Yet it teems to be true; for here, in our midst, stand. our honored friend, Lambdin P. Milligan; a living tangible evidence of that sublime principle that ''truth crushed to earth vi 11 rise again." Yes, nature will have compensation; and already his enemies can exclaim like Othello: Oh ! I were damned bcnea li all depths in hell Hut that I did proceed upeu just grouu! to this ctiemity." Let them look to it. While prostrate with disease; in the dead hour of night; without process of law. he was seized 03 the rufiian bauds of an armed band of hireling cowards; dragged from his home, his family, and his life-long comforts, to a loathsome prison, filled with discomfort -and filth; charged b3 traitor and perjured renegades; tried by hireling minions of usurped power; without jurisdiction or the forms of law; sentenced without a verdict; condemned to death, and saved onh by the interposition of that power whose executor had sworn to preserve, protect and defcud him against these very wrongs, and then immured with felons, for life aye life (!); clothed with the felon's garb; fed with the felons food; deprived of speech; burthencd with a convicts toil; insult, contumely, and depredations heaped upon him hourly frowned and spit upon, and left to drag out a lifetime under such a burthen, and f-r what? JV asfcitiü;; and striving to maintain the eternal prin ciples of truth, born with our republic and of it, enunciated 03' a Jefferson, sustained by a Madison, enforced by a Jackson, loved honored, believed and cherished by us, and all true men, and hated only ly such as placed this burthen on him, ami will place it upon 3011 and me unless the reins of power are taken from them from their bauds. Who are they? Men who confound theology with religion; who take the doctrines of our Divine .Master He who blessed his disciples and said 'dove one another;" who blessed little children, and held them in his arms, and during Iiis short mission taught love, love continually, beneath whoe influence intolerance withered and ii that sublime injunction they built up intolerance that bathes the earth in blood and crushes civil liberty beneath the iron heel of despotism. Demagogues, desperate and reckless; hypocrites; politicians, without principles; legislators, without knowledge; statesmen, ignorant of di plomacy; jurists filled with prejudice and partisan feelings; .'peculators without hearts jobbers who coined the blood of the people into gold to swell their coffers, alrcadv bursting with the spoils of a nation they have degraded and robbed of every element of honor; traitors to law and good order, enemies to peace and Union; men sworn under the law to obey tho law, and who treat that oath and the law with contempt and derision. These are they; madly "rushing in where angels fear to IreaJ." ""d who are now in full retreat before ih rc-animated and re-encouraged hosts of holiest, men who have turned upon them-and slowly but surely forcing them on towards the brink of destruction, over which they will K:ion be plunged, into the ocean of eternal infamy from which they hhall never be resurrrocted; Cod speed the day. Let us begin now. where wc should havo begun years ago. The release of Colonel Milligan proves that wc yet have a foundation to build up.m. The latent power of an honest public opinion has forced tho judges or majority in our Supreme Court to recognize yet the existence, and to declare the supremacy of the law in favor of civil liberty. Henceforth let us re-organize our schools, cxpugn from our school books theology and sectarianism; leave tltt'ut to bo taught in tho churches, tho Sunday school, and at the mother's knee, llcplacc them with books for practical education, and enforco as a part of the system the teachings of the elementary principles of government the administration of law the observance aud preserva

tion of civil rights, which constitute civil liberly,- andwc shall once more grow in-

j to peace and power, command regtet from all nations, irivc life and viiror to truo practical Christianity and all its humanizing ana civilizing lnuuenccs, ana sucn scenes as wc have witnessed, and such commemorations as we now are called upon to celebrate will be known no more, aud wc can say that "Ne'er can the sons of Columbia be slaves, While the earth bears a plant or the sea rolls a isavc." Demagogues and hypocrites and intolerants will be powerless in our midst, and as the race of each of us shall be run, and he j lays down in his last sleep, rs the death , damp gathers on his brow, and "His breath conies febly on," ho will "Sec Truth, Love and Mercy in triumph descending. Ami Nature II flowing in Clen'.s first bloom; On the cold check cf Death smiles ami roses be blending. And glory immortal awake from the tomb" Xlic Admission of L'liili. The people of I'tah have applied fr admission as a State. The proper Congressional committee has the application before it, and is taking testimony with reference to it. It is (juitc probable that the people of Ctah will not be admitted without a "'change of heart." The prcsw cut Congress is one which looks at the sentiments of people. The present Con gress is one which docs not propose to aK low a white man to "sass'' a eolered gentleman, and it likewise docs not propose to allow a white man to think '"sass" under the circumstances. Utah will find the road into the Union a long one to travel. Were there a democratic Congress, the Saints would be simply requested to drop their extra wives, and then take a plate in the Cnion. No such trifling thing will answer with the present Congress. llrighani Young will be requested to repudiate polygamy by legal enactment. After this shall be done he will bo required to repent of polygamy. There will be a committee at Washington who will gi over him thorough, lie will be required to testify that poly-gamy is abolished. He will find it necessary to prove that he never did believe in Polygamy. After tins has been done, Utah will be admitted Ly the present Congress, providing there arc abundant guarantees that it will vote the abolition ticket. If Utah is to be prepared to prove all these thing.1, thcu IJrighani had better wait the coming democratic Congress, or else pack up his traps and migrate to the Sandwich Islands. He will have to give up polygamy, or tarvel. To secure the benefits of one union, he will have to yield another union. To get into a union of o(j States, lie will have to get out of a union of SO or more wives. Chic. Times. A Speech E)ay in f Sic House. The most absurd feature about the present Congress is the "'speech-day," so called to distinguish it from days when sonic attempt is made to advance the public business. The speech-day is Saturday. Vou go into the House at twelve o'clock and the Speaker's hammer falls, when Dr. Doynton makes one of his oratorical prayers which is as much like a caucus speech as one pea is like another to some twentylive or thirty member?. The journal is 'read, and then members who are charged Wliu dies le;riu to oi-cnavgc them The boor of the nousc is lite a banquet 1 1 K.I t . hall descried. A dozen roie, may . area their scats J ho loaded member, are of course waiting for their chance Ihese are for the most pare, "onho ca hall descried7 A dozen remple, may I not, be listened to during the week. Dull persons whom nobody will hear, but who must get off a speech that will afterward be publi.-hed at the expense of the Government in the Congressional (Hobe, and sent to the districts of the members who deliver them, so that constituents may be made glad and rejoice in their member and the influence he exerts in the Nation al Council. --There are tricks in all trades but ours." Judge Underwood, of the United States District Court ot Virginia, who lately decided that the proclamation of peace did not remove martial law in the south, has speedily been assured of his mistake. A petitioner for a writ of JoiUcs corpus, who was imprisoned by military atuhority iu Virginia, was denied release from impriss onment by Judge Underwood, because the officer upon whom the writ was serve! returned thereon that he held the petitioner by authority of the President. The case was submitted to Attorney General Speed, who gave an opinion adverse to Judge Underwood's decision, whereupon the President ordered the release of the pris oner on a writ of halc i corpus. The petitioner was held by the order of the Provost Court, it being the one which, under the rreednien's Dureau, had juris diction of the ofiience with which he was charged. We have had no doubt that the President intended the rennval of martial law by his proclamation of peace, but have thought it possible that he might hold that the power." of the Frcedmcn's Uureau, being defined by congressional enactment, werenot affected by the pro danfation. The . - . Attorney General has declared otherwise, and the President no doubt gladly has acted upon his opinion.

o Policy mid a Polity. Schuyler Colfax iu a serenade speech in

Washington the other night, frankly aiK mittcd that Conurcss had no policv for restoring the States latch in rebellion to piaccs in tue i.nion, out tnauiici resident 1 had. The reason he gave for the 1'rcsident having, and Congress not having a! policy was. that the fir ncr hade 'ght months! advantrxroin coni,hrin.r the snbiort whilo! the latter has been only t'ur months at - J ' work upon the same sreatnucstion. Here is an n.lniiion fhnf lWMonf 1,,J been developing and carrying out a policy in which he has had all the advantage that a thorough knowledge ofthc condition of I affairs in the revolted States, and therfem per and purposes of the people of those States, could give htm. Jiut the abolition leaders in the Hump Congress did not wait for any enlightenment in regard to his or any restoration policy heforc thoy commenced denouncing the acts of the President in his. efforts to restore the Union not only in name, but in fact. Upon the ven first day of the present session of Congress. Sumner, and others entertaining the same radical views in both branches of the legislative department of the Government, proposed amendments to to tho Constitu ion to define the future relations of the ate rebellious States, and it was, also, arly announccd by the same faction that they should not be recognized as integral States of the Union until they had accepted all the conditions.no matter how unjust, unreasonable and humiliating, that the radical majority in that body should impose upon them. Notwithstanding their record, which is familiar to the whole country, Mr. Speaker Colfax now excuses the charge that the radical Congress has not presented a poücy for restoring the Union, upon the ground that they were not sufficientenlightened upon the condition of affairs in the eleven States shut out from repre scntation in Congress to present o::c to the country. He says, however, that Congress now has the facts 10 go upon, and that vc' shortly its policy will be announced. Happily for the peace and welfare of the country, the President lias exercised all his constitutional prerogatives to rcs tore the fraternity between the sections, and the people of the country who were onby a little more than a3caragoin hostile array against each other. In the hiskuy of civil war, uevcr has there been an example of more rapid strides in tho pacific cation of a divided people entertaining upon one side, at least, the most intense an tagouism and dislike of the other. And from the cessation of hostilities the President has had a policy to govern his action, and the effect has been to bring back the discontents to their allegiance to the old Government. On the other hand, the actio 1 of Congress, so far as it could, has had the tendency to keep alive the prejudices and passions of the Southern people, and continue that spirit of revolt which induced them to make the attempt to break up the Union and establish an independent Government. Truly Congress has no policy to restore the Union, but it has been governed from the opening of the present session by the single idea to legislate for the benefit ofthc negro, no mattcrat what sacrifice to the interests of the white race, and regardless of the welfare of the coun try. The whole effort of this radical Congress is to defeat the policy of the President in restoring the concord, happiness, and prosperity which existed iu the nation before the fell spirit of secession seized upon a portion of the people, for the redress of cither fancial or real wrongs, and jfc Jomin:UU fatflion has th 3 ovcrnU2Citt it XTllI liavc , w flk ouf rc?ublicaI even desire to pay for such t they even desire to pay a costly entertainment' Ind. II mil. The triumph of constitutional law over mob rule aud military courts by which the Dlack Kepublicanshavc ruled the country for the last five years, is wormwood ami gall to them. Without the aid of these monstrous engines of oppression, the traitorous faction would long since have passed out of existence, rcinembercd only to be execrated. And with these illegal tribunals drspersedT an I the men who composed them forced to seek honorable employment, the sceptre will depart from them forever, and that before tlc lapse of many months. The ides of October will consign them to that lower depth where there is wailing and gnashing of teeth. There will bo no more midnight arrests without process and without warrant of law. There will be no more military commissions to send men beyond the lines, to condemn them to death, tocjmfine them iu bastiles until they are mined in body and mind. The days of Dlack Republican misrule are numbered. The hand-writing is on the wall; and before long the whole crazy pack will be turned out to grass, like Nebuchadnezzar of old. Thank God for the restoration of constitutional law. Hunt in ton Dt mot' rat. f Ilele:is. of Hon. Clement V. Clay ul Alabama, Upon Ills Parole. We are gratified to stale that the President has released the Hon. Clement C. Clay, of Alabama, upon his parole. Mr. Clav has been confined with Hon. J offerJ son Davis for nearly a year at Fortress 1.. . 1 1.1 iT z . ......I.;.... .Monroe, ms long ueieuuou is auyunng but creditable to the Government. It is a stigma upon it. Mr. Clay was accused, in the President's proclamation, in Maylast, of being accessory to the death of the late President Lincoln. He was then es, raping from the country. Seeing the Proclamation, and unwilling to rest under the disgraceful charge, he turned and delivered himself up to the nearest military authorities. He demanded speedy trial or his release. Ho had neither. He was kept in prison for nearly one year, and then released, without trial, upon his parole. f ho history of the case is a sufficient commentary upon its injustice. Nothing wjh ever found totouucot him in the leuit with

he murder of Lincoln, except some testis U10113 of Government detectives in Canada, which was proved afterward, to the satinfaction of everybody, to be perjured and false. Mr. Clay having been released , it is

now a proper time to discharge Mr. Davis. He, with Mr. Clay, was accused of con. cction with the Lincoln assassination. 'J -he charge has been proven false. As to iV . x 1 1 1 f ! Ulc beacon charge, sound public policy re hu,res lt t0 Uc abandoned, and the s sooner the President acts upon that idea the bct T1,c "umber vf ...nants who de1 sire tue case 10 go any iuriner is very small. Many of the most bitter radical., and some of the strongest radical papers, arc for his release. Cin. Emj. Tiic Approach or Cholera. There secuis to be Authentic report showing the advance ofthc cholera in fentral Europe. It his broken out in Germany with considerable violence. It haj wintered in Italy a few cases constantly appearing in some of the towns. We learn, hy a recent mail, that it has prevailed on the French coast, thou. 11 no reports were allowed to spread abroad of its ravages, and now it has again departed or disappeared. The mild winter of the past season favored its continuance on the Continent, and the early heats of spring and summer arc expected todcvclopU through out Furopc. There is not, however, at all, the dread of thi3 pestilence in Europe, which once prevailed. Many medical authorities speak cf it as or.e of the most easily managed of the great diseases of mankind. Opinions differ greatly as to the advantage of strict quarantine regular tions; but there is no difference of opinion as to the immense importance of ordinary and even unusial sanitary precautions. England is setting her house in order before this dreaded avenger of filth and uncleanlinefs. Cities are being drained; cesspools connected with sewers; ventilation improved; stagnant oo'.s emptied; heaps of offal ;:nd refuse removed, and lanes ami streets cleaned, so that rummer may find the people all prepared for the invader. During the winter cholera has prevailed in sonic portions of the West Indict, though apparently not to any alarming extent. So little is known of the source of this disease whether it be animal or vegetable in its nature that it is impc?sib?s to say whether it will cross the Atlantic during the present summer. Judging from all past analog3, wc car. say, with reasonable confidence, that if it break forth this sum mer in Europe aga'm, it will, in all probability, appear here also within a few weeks. Whether cholera be contagious or not, it is certainly portable, and most probably the infection is often conveyed by excreta, so that in some of the numerous ships arriving here or in Canada from Kurope and the West Indies, the invisible poison may be conveyed. Kvcn if it do not come through human agency, the unseen animalcube or fungi may be borne on the winds or waters finally to this coast. The great peculiarit3 of the disease is. that its; seeds, though they fill the air, seldom ripen ex cept under favorable conditions which are well known such as bad drainage, overcrowding, defective vcntilat'on, an4 general filth and neglect, with a warm arrd moist air. The human system also may be open to the malady by excess in eating and drinking, and ly carelessness of the preinonitor3' symptom painless diarrhoea. There is no human malady against which more sure and safe defences can be erected. Cleanliness of person and surroundings. purit3 of air and moderate diet are almost certain preventives. The rich. toor to a great degree, can escape it by flesiog io the mountains, as height seems to act powerfully to check its ravages. Certain towns iu (Jreat I'ritain kept the enemy entirely away by their sanitary precautions. In 14I the model lodging houses had not a fatal case; the inspected common1 lodging houses but four cases; the upper classcj suffered comparatively Iitt!e. It is peculiarly a disease of the poor,- the filthy, neg lectcd, and vicious. There ii no occa sion (if it sdiould appear here) for any alarm or panic. The true policy Is uow tbr every citizen to prepare his own Louse and surroundings for the pcstilcn-ccv If there be nuisances near his premises, if his drainage be defeitive. if pipes are out ofordcr, and cess pools afllict the neighborhood, if the streets arc' dirty, or dirty animal ave kept rwar the- Kmsc. (Kog pens being an opeciaf incentive of the disease,) let him without waiting for the slow action ot the authorities, rcmoe all this manure of the pestilence,- where its seeds are deposited and grow at once with v'gor. Each individual can be a sanitary inspect or, and form a board of health for his own premises. The sanitary reform must begin at home. Till the matter s investigated, no one can understand how indifferent and carclss people arc to the sanitary welfare of thir own households. Physicians can relate how many a terrible case of diptheria, scarlatina, spotted fever, diarrluea, inter mitteilt and typhus, can be traced to open and reckless violations of sanitary provisions iu houses, which seem the abodes of wealth aud luxury. As the warm Spring opens, these matters ought to be more looked into, and all nuisances vigorously attacked. Chloride of lime should be more frequently used than it is at present. A. V. Tim$. The Washington correspondent of the New York World says : The House Judiciary Committee arc still engaged in implicating Jeff. Pavis in tho assassination plot. The joint which tho committee are driving at is to male out a case which will warrant them in recommending Davis to be tried by a military commission. Thy expect to bauble todo this. Tlwo is -evidence' from unheard-of persons, ullogod al to lo in the plot at enc timo, which the friends of ml ary cows mission claim involves Davis iu thca.v-ina lien plot."
