At a dinner party where Charles Dickens was present, a young writer was inveighing against the world in a very "forcible, feeble manner." During a pause in this philippic against tho human race, Dickens said across, the table, in the most self-congratulatory ol tones: 41 1 say , what a lucky thing it is you and I don’t belong to it It reminds me,” continued the author of Pickwick, "of two men who, on a raised scaffold, were awaiting the final delicate attention of the hangman.

In the Supreme Court of the United States, the Paul Schoeppe case came up last week, and was postponed until Monday, May 23. The case comes up now on a writ to review the evidence under the act recently passed by the Legislature with special refer ence to this trial. The Commonwealth insists that the case was closed on the 14th of Febru ary last, and was not pending when the act of Sim after Road Commissioners.—At the late session of Randolph Superior Court, Judge Harrell, in keeping with his action on the some subject in other counties, fined our Road Com missioners $50 each, for failure to have all the roads in .the county fully up to the legal requirements. The investigation showed our roads to be in a better condition than for sev eral years, and better generally than any county in the District It was shown that onr energetic commissioners had devoted much of their time to the subject—in some instances more than to their own farms—and notwith standing their failure to have our highways fully up to the legal standard, we think they de serve the thanks of their fellow-citizens for the commendable zeal displayed by them in this direction. Their principal short-coming was a failure to have the roads marked off with mile posts and finger-boards; and in some cases when the banks w ere high, and it would have interfered materially with the growing crops of some cit izens, the roads have not been opened to the lawful width, which is thirty feet the Legislature was passed on the 15th, that the judgment cannot possibly be re-cv ed now. This is the question which will bo argued on the 23d. An Indiana bogus divorce decree has been reversed on account of fraud in its procur- roent. Pro '.sshtnal Services—Interesting Case.— From i New Orleans Republican we clip the following, as it will be of interest to profession al men and to onr Jewish friends: In the Sixth District Court yesterday the case of Rosenthall vs. Myers was decided l>y Judge Cooley. In this caso plaintiff, Rosenthall, brought suit for the recovery of $1,000 for being em ployed to perform the operation of circumci sion on two Israelitsh children residing in Brownsville, Texas, and Matamoras, Mexico. The points of interest to the Jewish people in volved in this controversy are: 1. That this decision forms a precedent f-»r the legal right of persons skilled in the ait to roQovcr compensation for their services. * 2. That a person residing at another point sending a mandatory heir to another to send a certain person named to perform the opera tion, is not bound if the mandatory disobeys his instructions and sends in the plaee thereof another party, and in such cfse the mandatory becomes personally responsible for the employment 3. That in fixing tho value tho rule is applied that where several witnesses testify as to the amount the one fixing the lowest amount will be taken as the standard. We publish the opiuion of Jndge Cooley in fall: It seams to me he cannot claim any immu nity as agent ** he did not comply with the terms of the letter. He took upon himself the responsibility of not complying with the terms of the letter, and therefore made himself liable. In relation to the custom of charging for these operations, the testimony shows there is no regular-tariff of prices. But it is equally well showu that payment, though not formally pressed in the form of a mercantile transac tion, is invariably expected, and that payment is invariably tendered and accepted. There is no regular prioe; it varies according to me, place, distance and means of the parties. This is a suit for services and expenses for going to Mexico and Texas, to perform the ceremony of circumcision on some children there. Tho defendant, Myers,, claims that he. did not employ the plaintiff. He says he was written by a friend of his to send him an oper ator named Hockwald, and that he produced this letter to the plaintiff, and upon that letter the plaintiff went He says he did not hold himself ont as liable for the expenses incurred in going there, or for the value of the services; and it is allowed also by the defense that if he did intend to make himself liable, no pe cuniary compensation is allowed in tkiij toriwl Bribery Down Job Printing. Tho Committee on the Judiciary, who were instructed to inquire and report whether cor rupt and improper means haAC been used or attempted to influence Senators on tho Geor gia question, made a report yesterday after noon. They experienced much difficulty in ascer taining facts, and tho examination was pro tracted by the unwillingness of witnesses who were in a position to know tho truth. They firet examined Hon. James Hughes, from In diana, who testified that a gentleman named Porter called upon him one evening—the 21st of March last—but he was not positive about the date. Porter asked him whether he could control the vote ofSenatorOnpeuter. Hughes replied he did not think he could, but had no doubt he could ascertain how he was going to vote upon any question of importance. Por ter said that $10,000 in railroad bonds in dorsed by the State of Georgia or the Governor of Georgia, could be put up to secure his vote against the Bingham Amendment. Hughes told Porter he could not Approach Senator Carpenter with any proposition of that sort. l by bleeding sire to son, Tho’ balllf J oil, 1* ev*r won." Ju the same number is an article from Rev.

It seems to me plain that Myers did not comply with the request made by bis friend in Had he complied with that request, he would be only acting as the agent of this man who wrote to him, and would not be li able, Myers was requested to send a certain indi vidual, but he did not send that individual; be sent another, and exhibited to him this letter as his authority. Hod be sent the man Ilackwald, whom he was requested to semi, that would have been entirely different. In this ease the plaintiff claims $1,000. My impression is, this claim is too much. The tes timony of Dr. Ileidiugsfelder, who seems to have had a great deal of experience in these matters, shows be would have gone there and performed the operation for $G00. I will take the estimate of Dr. Heidingsfelder, and give the judgment in favor of plaintiff for $600. Hawkins Sc Thorpe for plaintiff. Cotton A Levy for defendant A novel case of "opprobrious words” was tried before Justice Jones on Wednesday evening. A party brought suit against a well known saloon keeper,charging him with calling him a "nigger," and with refusing to serve him with a drink. Several witnesses were sum moned on both sides. The saloon keeper testi fied that he bad seen the party continually con sorting with negroes, and alwaj-s supposed him J to be one; that he did not serve negroes with liquor at his bar, and for that reason he had refused him, saying that he was a negro, and could not bo served at his bar. One witness testified that he had seen the proseentor drink ing and playing cards with colored men, butl did not know as that should prove him to be a negro, as he knew men of the best standing in the community who would do con siderably more than nlay cards with negroes, | and yet it would not be safe to question the) purity of their white blood. The prose cutor introduced several witnesses, who, to the best of their knowledge and belief, testified that he was a white man. The case excited considerable interest, but was finally dismissed! Jby the magistrate, who held, and as it would seem quit*- rightly, that the proprietor of the I saloon bad a perfect right to refuse a drink to any person, white or black, and as no malice! toward tlm party was proven, and be really supposed him to’be a negro when making the remark lm did, no action could lie against [hlftL " ’ w s ~ v of Chatham county met The Superior Cc Tlmrsda; rd the folio In the of J.

Before Porter left the room he made some remark to the effect that the ten thousand dollars were to be di vided between Porter and himself in ease of its being done. Hughes told bim he could have nothing to do with such a transaction.— Mr. Hughes subsequently met Senator Car penter, who said he would vote for the Amend ment and against the bilL Mr. Hughes then mentioned to him the matter, and Carpenter suggested that perhaps it was due to himself that ho should bring it to the attention of the Senate. He laughed, and replied, he had done nothing in the matter and did not so propose; that in the present state of the public feeling, he did not desire the notoriety of having it known that any person had held bim so cheap as to suppose that his vote could be bought— He afterward told Porter that Carpenter said he would vote for the Amendment and against the bill. This was the end of tli£ matter.— The name is Lewis Porter, who is the financial clerk of the city Postoffice. The committee next examined Mr. Porter, who denied on oath having knowledge of an attempt on the part of any one to influence a vote on the Georgia question, or that he had talked with any one excepting Judge Hughes. It was not until after a protracted examination that he testified he had conyereations with dif ferent persons on the Georgia question, end lmd asked Judge Hughes as to Senator Car penter’s vote. He then asked to be allowed to take legal advice. He wanted to employ Hughes as an attorney in the matier. He told Hughes he could have a fee, provided he could do good. He talked about five thou sand dollare, but there was no positive arrange ment. For this five thousand dollars Hughes was to look the question over and ascertain the situation and render such aid he could. Mr. Avery, connected with railroads in Georgia, was in com mnnication with the witness, ami had ten thousand dollars’ worth of bonds. Avery was a director in the Brunswick and Albany Rail road Company, and admitted having gone to see Porter, who was an active politician in the Republican party. Avery admitted that he went to New York to obtain people to write letters to Senators, and asked twenty men to write.to Senators Conkling and Fenton, and that that has cost money. It appears from the testimony of Henry M. Atkinson, son-in-law of Senator Tipton, that he was approached by L L. Gibbs, an old citi zen of Nebraska, and Gibbs said he would rather give a thousand dollars, or would rather than a thousand dollars, Mr. Tipton would vote against the Bingham amendment, which the witness said he construed as an offer of one thousand dollars to induce Mr. Tipton to vote against the amendment. It also appears from Atkinson!s testimony that Gibbs manifested great anxiety as to how Mr. Tipton would vote. Isaac L. Gibbs in his testimony denied that he ever said he had any authority to offer money. It was only a figure of speech. The Committee think it will be a matter of surprise to the reader of the testimony that the man Gibbs, who pretended to know so little about Georgia, should have so deep an interest in the Georgia qnestion. W. C. Bestor, of Riggs & Oo.*s bank, testi fied that the bank has cashed drafts drawn by Governor Bollock in favor of Sykes, Chadwick Sc Co., on the Georgia National Bank, amounting to between ten and eleven thousand dollars. John Kerr, cashier of the hotel kept by Sykes, Chadwick & Ca, testified that after pay ing Bullock’s hotel bill, $8,539 were placed in the Governor’s hands. W. S. Huntington, cashier of the First Na tional Bank, testified that between March 18 and April 21, 1870, they paid $3,508 75 to D. C.

They demanded the books his paper, would have been a liberal- compen sation. Governor Bullock in his testimony said he thought it important for the colored members of tho Georgia Legislature to make some for mal expression of their wishes with regard to the Bingham Amendment and come to 'Wash- ton for that purpose, and he telegraphed them accordingly. Eleven came to "Washington as the representatives of the whole of them; and two came who were not members of the Legis lature. He lent them from $1,200 to $1,500 to pay their expenses, and only a small portion of the money was refunded. The amount of money made use of by him from the 5th of Itlarch to the 21st of April was $14,500, and of this amount $4,008 was paid to Mr. Forney, and $505 to the Globe. It appears from Gov ernor Bullock’s testimony that there was no special agreement with the publisher of the Chronicle for the work done; lie sent the mat ter to him for publication without fixing on the price. A man named George D. Chapman said he could influence the vote of Senator Pomeroy. The committee had not thought it advisable to delay their report by sending for Mr. Chap man, who, from the testimony before it, as sumed he could control a Senator’s vote by corrupt means, but having called the atten tion of Senator Pomeroy to his conversation, as testified to by Governor Bullock, Senator Pomeroy came before the committee and show ed that Mr. Chapman was unknown to him save by introduction and not exceeding ten minutes’conversation, and not in any manner connected with any of the matters through which Mr. Chapman assumed he could con trol his vote, and that the pretext of Mr. Chap man’s being able to influence him one way or the other waa without a shadow of foundation. The Committee feel constrained to say, from the evidence before them, that such means had been used and attempted. How ever unwilling some of the witnesses implica ted in tho transaction had shown themselves to disclose the whole truth, enough has come out to satisfy the Committee that P. J. Avery used improper means to influence Senators to vote against the Bingham amendment, and that Lewis Porter, an officer of the Government, acted improperly in undertaking for pay to. aid him in his purpose; R. B. Bullock, ra pay ing D. C. Forney, publisher of the Chronicle, having tho patronage of the Government, triple prices for printing pamphlets and in serting in his paper articles and speeches on the Georgia question, and tho said D. C. Forney, in publishing said articles and speeches, with editorials, concealing the fact that he was paid for the same double and triple prices, did use improper means to in fluence the votes of Senators on the Georgia question. There is no evidence that any Senator was influenced; but it is not unreasonable to sup pose that a newspaper in the position of the Chronicle, enjoying to some extent the confi- Chronicle, enjoying to some extent the confi dence of tho Administration and of the domi nant party in Congress, would have an influ ence with Senators, while assuming to act in dependently and from a sense of duty, which it would not possess if it were known tliat Hhe insertion of many such of the articles published bearing on a pending question were paid for at extravagant prices by a person having an interest to produce a par ticular result As there is no Law for punish ing such attempts they must be left (and per haps it is best they should be left) to the judgment of the enlightened and just public sentiment, which will not fail to visit with its condemnation any attempt of the ns© of improper means to influence the vote of a leg islative body. The report Is signed by Senators Trumbull, Edmunds, Conkling, Carpenter and Thur man. MINORITY REPORT. Senators Stewart and Rice, in the views pre sented by them, say that it is disclosed by the testimony that many things undoubtedly oc curred not creditable to the parties concerned. The investigation has been mainly directed to the conduct of those opposed to the adoption of the Bingham amendment. It was impossi ble in the limited time allowed to give the subject such consideration as it deserved, or to inquire in regard to tho condnct of the parties in favor of that amendment, except as the con duct of Chapman was incidentally inquired into. The report of the majority, so far ns Avery and Porter are concerned, is flUly sus tained by the evidence. There is no evidence to connect any Senator-amGovemor Bullock with the conduct or purposes of any of these men. They cannot concur in the report of the majority wherein they attach blame to Gov ernor Bullock for money paid to the Chronicle, as there was not in the matter published any thing that there would be any object in con cealing from publication. There is no evi dence that Governor Bullock had any connec tion with the editorials. He simply paid the bills, asking no questions. The dissenting Senators agree that the prices were extravagant, and the charges for the reading matter were hardly justifiable in a paper occupying the position of the Chronicle. In conclusion they say Governor Bullock acted honorably and fairly throughout the whole controversy. In other respects they coucnr in the report. TIIE INQUISITION. Card from Mr. 13. C. Forney If I did not feel it to be my duty to assist in xpoeing a deliberate outrage upon justice and an equally deliberate insult to the Republican party, I should let the report of the Conserva tive majority of the Judiciary Committee upon the inquiry whether corrupt or improper means had been used or attempted to influence Sena tors on the Georgia question, pass with the contempt and scorn it deserves. It will be read with shame by Republicans as the pro duct of men calling themselves Republicans, and with surprise by the impartial observer, who looked for a fair investigation into the loudly-trumpeted accusations against an hon est man, and a full acknowledgement of the failure of these accusations if proved false, as false they are shown to be from beginning to end. A more pitiable exhibition has never been made by persons assuming to be lawyers and gentlemen. Never were there more portentous omens than than the prophecies of the dyspeptic Ed- Mr. D. C. Forney, publisher of the Doily Morning Chronicle, testified that all tho trans actions with Mr. Bullock were purely of a busi- |BttB character, andexhi: <1 hi* books .‘Low ing tli transactions between them. Four thousand fonr hundred and forty-nine dollars were paid for printing pamphlets, publishing speeches and other matters, copies of papers, etc. Four thousand two hundred and twenty- eight of the above amount was paid to the publisher during the present session of Con gress, and every item relates to the Georgia question. Whether the charges are reasonable or whether another consideration than the printing done, and the papers and pamphlets furnished may not have Induced Mr. Bullock to pay such prices, it will not be difficult for the impartial reader of the testimony to under- Stfl munds and the gloomy Ferry while the Judici ary Committee were sitting upon these charges against Gov. Bullock. The former did not hesitate to intimate that the disclosures were terribly damaging to Gov. BullocM, while the nervous gentleman from Connecticut, who seems to be forever advertising for excuses to vote against his own friends, declared on Tues day last, "Thereis an explanation of affairs in Georgia into which, for the sake of my party, and because I love that party, and be cause I believe bound up with it are the dear est interests of my country, and because there are those hanging on to my party there that are dragging it into the dust, I re frain from going into.” Now tliat the oracle has spoken, will either of these busy prophets have the decency, I will not say the manliness, to admit that Governor Bullock has been base ly traduced, and that Ins libelers deserve the scorn of every honest man ? But my name as publisher of the Washing ton Morning Chronicle is made to figure more at length than that of any other witness, not even excepting Governor Bullock, for whose special destruction the Inquisition was initia ted. The majority report concludes with the complacent declaration: "There is no evidence that any Senator was Influenced; but it is not unreasonable to sup pose that a newspaper in the position of the Chronicle, enjoying to some extent the confi dence of the Administration and of the dom inant party in Congress, would have an in fluence with Senators, while assuming to act independently and from a souse of duty, which it would not possess were it known that tho insertion of many of the articles published bearing on a pending question were K id for at extravagant prices by a person ving a particular interest to produce a par ticular result.” This extract shows that, failing to destroy Governor Bullock, the four Conservative Repub licans on the Committee who had the Inquisition in charge—Trumbull, Edmunds, Conkling, and Carpenter—resolved to turn their batteries upon the Chronicle. The manner in which they prosecuted this labor of love will bo in teresting to their constitutents, who aro doubt less watching their course in Congress on the Georgia question with eqnal indignation and surprise. •‘* 4 I was summoned on the 5th inst, I think and the next evening appeared before tho commit- tee, nil the members present, but Mr. Thur man, Democrat. The first question, whether I knew of any corrupt or improper means em ployed to influence the votes of Senators on the Georgia bill, I answered frankly and em phatically in the negative. Here, under the resolution of the Senate ordering tho inquiry, my examination should have legally ended ; but that was not the intention of tho four of j Conservatives. Questioned as to the money ptffl; leaders aud follows tho couus* f the Chronicle office. Hero I determined to what I was now convinced was a delib- wid heartless persecution. The commit tee cooly assert that I " exhibited (my) his books.” This is simply untrue. I did not produce them until I saw that my refusal to do so would be construed .into..an attempt to shield a wrong. Conscious that all our trans actions with our patrons were open and hon orable, I refused this arrogant request, and insisted upon counsel to expose an outrage upon my business as a privato citizen. Tins is haughtily declined, and I sent for my Evr. Aud here- ensued a scene worthy of the Star Chamber or the disciplee .of Ignitus Loyola. The four inquisitors were surprised at the accuracy aud neatness of my accounts, and even deigned a grim compliment to that effect; but this did not satisfy them. They held the pages to which the entries had been transferred to the light to see if no alterations had been made, and then applied a microscpic qkias to tho figures; each of the four taking tis turn at the inspection ! Not yet satisfied, they insisted on the books in which the orig inal charges had been made. They were pro duced, and were found to agree, after a simi lar scrutiny, with the ledger. Still unsatisfied, they called ou my book-keeper and the fore man of tho press room, and, after an examina tion alike tedious and insolent, but neither so tedious or insolent as that which I had to un dergo, they discovered nothing to discredit my own testimony or the plain figures on the books themselves. As I sat by and recalled the long and weary S s that Colonel Forney had given to the ublican party at this capital, through evil through good report, without hesitation and under a thousand disadvantages and peril*, I could not help asking myself whether it would not have been more coesistent with the high duties of this austere quartette if they had shown a little of the seme eagerness to in vestigate the cruelty of. the rebels upon tho poor Union people of the South ? Why not send for persons and papers and bring to jus tice the murderers and despoilers of the Union men of Georgia? Why not sit in judgment upon the ruffians who had time and again threatened the, life of Governor Bullock ? Why not demand the cause of the insult offered last November to the American flag by the rebel authorities at Macon, Georgia, in the presence of Senators and Rep- It will deserve neither respect nor success.— ! It will fall, covered with the odium of f reach- ery to-its principles and injustice to its friends, j But this deserves to be stated for the bem- j fit of the constitutents of the four men who] have been manipulating the Judiciary Com- j mittee of the Senate T in the interest of the ro- j hellion, aud alvj t<> r.- i! :v R, prd iL*.m *"'*’■ A ‘ actions.— he 'recon struction measures have been overruled by the Senate: They were overruled in the first Georgia bill, which they at tempted to push through without re quiring the Legislature of that State to ratify the fifteenth-amendment;they were over ruled iu the attempt to force in Virginia with out requiring previous fundamental conditions from the Legislature; they were also overruled in a similar attempt to admit Mississippi with out fundamental conditions; they were utter ly‘worsted in their bitter hostility to General Ames, the Republican Senator elect from Mis sissippi; they were again overwhelmed in the Georgia bill when they reported it with the Bingham Amendment, tho Senate preferring a military government to that dangerous con- "O .. L L Li resentatives in Congress, the venerable Pro fessor Henry, and other well-known officials? No microscopic glass would have been necessary to discover the truth here. But such a step would have offended the delicate sensibilities of Robert Toombs' and others of the rebel gathering whom the Senatorial quartette are so anxious to restore to power the more certainly to consolidate Georgia around the Democratic candidate for President in 1872. As that is the goal to which the onti-im- peachers, headed by Trumbull, and the Con servatives, headed by Carpenter, are obediently retracing their way, the overthrow of the Washington Chronicle must not be delayed by any undue unkindness to the enemies of re construction in Georgia. The judiciary inquisitors ore much horrified at the charges on the books of the Chronicle for work done for Governor Bullock, and note how in their report they try to impress their horror upon the Senate. After sending ont for witnesses to prove that these charges were extravagant, Trumbull and company confi dently say, recapitulating what was said by Mr. Bailey, of the Globe, Mr. Murtagh, of the Republican, and Mr. Polkinhoru, a practical printer, "as to the very liberal prices paid D. 0. Forney”—tbeir anxiety to perpetrate a wrong upon the Chronicle crops out as fol lows: "Prom which the committee droio the con: dusion that one-third of the sum of $4,228, paid to Forney by Bullock ostensibly for printing and copies of his paper would have been a liberal compensation.”' But not a word about the sworn testimony that much of this work had to bo done at night and even on Sunday. The practical men who were called to sustain the charge against the Chronicle having refused to do so, the Conservative quartette "draw the necessary conclusion” from their testimony. It must not be forgotten that all the men engaged in this poor business call themselves Republicans; and yet, while trying to show that the Chronicle, a Republican paper, had obtained extravagant rates for work done for Governor Bullock, not one of them thought of asking Mr. Daily, of the Congressional Globe, a paper owned by gentlemen most of whom are in earnest sympathy with the Democracy, how much they get from a Reimblican Coe gress for the repeated publications of its pro ceedings, in various forms upon the same type or plates, and whether, after they had compensation from the Treasury for the pub lic debates, they did not charge as much as any other establishment in Washington to Congressmen, who wanted to circulate their own speeches among their constituents, and who ordered these speeches at the Globe office on private account? But this would not have been a pertinent question. The business of Trumbull, Edmunds, Conkling, and Carpen ter, was to destroy a Republican paper, not to show it fair play. Not to make too fine a point upon these economical lawyers, let us suppose the fee books of Trumbull and Carpenter, the great ex- pounders, open to the public. Of course, a lawyer in Congress has prerogatives that at tach to no other class, least of all to journal ists. _ He may be the attorney of a great cor poration, and work hard for it; he even may go into the Supreme Court and take‘pay for opposing the very legislation he approved as a Senator; he may lobby claims through the De partments; press for contracts for his friends, and even take rewards for getting them office; and tho broad shield of his diploma makes all sacred, which would send another blackened into history. I humbly admit that these law yers are a superior class of beings; but for all this I would like to see how the bill of the Chronicle would look side by side with some of the fees paid by startled clients to the vir tuous inquisitors on tho Senate Judiciary Com mittee. Clothed with their Congressional robes, such men rarely open their royal lips in court without being paid royal largesse: and woe to the hapless corporation who scruples the consideration. The door of "the other side” is open for his condign and instant pun ishment Following this illustrious precedent the Chronicle bill ought to have been as many thousands as it was hundreds. Let me recur in this connection to the fol lowing passage from the report of the Con servative majority: "As there is no law for punishing such at tempts they must be left (and perhaps it is best they should be left) to the judgment of the enlightened and public sentiment, which will not fail to visit icith its condemnation any attempt of (he use of improper means to influ ence the vote of a legislative body. The idea that the Chronicle could corrupt any Senator by its editorials, or by the publi cation of Senatorial speeches, or that it is an "improper means" to influence "the vote of a legislative body,” to publish facts, or print re publican doctrines, is so absurd that it can only be attributed to the eager purpose of these Conservatives to find some pretext for their persecution. The sentence above quoted has a far more direct application to the manner of electing Senators in Congress by certain of the State Legislatures. Can Mr. Trumbull mean to allude to one of his own elections? But, after all, Trumbull owes the Chronicle all the hate he here displays. He does not forget how it exposed his support of Andrew Johnson during the impeachment trial It was an unpleasant task bravely and boldly dis charged. He has waited his hour to strike. For his own sake, I regret he had not a better cause than to strike in the interest of the unreconstructed rebels of the South. Had the Chronicle favored them; had it been deaf to the cries of the Union men of the South; had it struck hands with the rebels of Georgia, Virginia, Mississippi and Texas, there would have been no investigation. But pursuing the lines laid down at our start in 1861, and op posing them as we had opposed Andrew John son, wo share the animosity that lias, mur dered, hunted, and proscribed the only friends the Government has had in the South during and since the war. This was the hard path of duty. Had we taken the other side—had we supported Andrew Johnson and his backers during and since his defection, perhaps an equally persevering committee of investigation would have proved "corruption,” indeed. Being neither Lawyers nor Senators, the evi dence would have been clear and the convic tion sure. But why should we complain of these assults ? Who that has witnessed the recent onsets upon Charles Sumner and Oliver P. Morton for dar ing to do right by the Union people of the South will wonder at the crusade upon the Chronicle ? That they spoke for. tho great body of the Republican party; North ami South, is as true as that their assailants spoko for tlie Democrats and rebels- When the Republican party reject.* such . ... W.

This was the rop that overflowed their bitter cup, and as they drank it off they resolved to destroy Bul lock and the Chronicle by one grand coup in their, close and secret Star Chamber. Their failure in this, as in all their other experi ments, proves absolutely that- the Judiciary Committee of the Senate does not represent the Republican party of the country. . x I do not speak in self-vindication. As I said at the beginning, tho rejiort of the Judiciary Committee answers itself Republicans wiil read it with shame—Democrats with pity But I do speak iu the interests of justice and fair dealing. It is time to draw the lines be tween the rights of unofficial persons and the prerogatives of public servants. It is time to decide whether personal malignity shall be permitted to enjoy the exclusive vengeance of investigating committees, and whether a Sen ator’s position is to cover immunity from all responsibility, and impunity to work all mam. ner of injustice. Had I been allowed counsel before this committee, or been able to defend myself against what must now be seen to have been a measure of the harshest persecution, originating, as all must admit, in a deliberate purpose to break down the business of Col. Forney at the national capital, another record would have been spread upon tho journal of the Senate, and this explanation would have been needless. The denial of such ordinary and decent means of self-protection consti tutes these committess the sheerest cabals, un worthy of a free Government, and suitable only to a despotism like ancient Spain. This last attack upon the Chronicle will fail as all others, have failed. We have had many storms to encounter, and have outlived them all. We have never faltered in the dark hour; never evaded an issue; never feared to face a peril; and never, thank God, deserted a Re publican who was faithful to his trust. And for this we have to endure the enmity of the technical Republicans who saved Andrew Johnson from impeachment, and who, wear ing the robes of John C. Calhoun, preach State Rights in the Senate, we accept the penalty with tho more pride because we share it with the great body of the Republican party of America. But the report of the Judiciary Committee of the Senate vindicated more than the Chron icle. It vindicated Gov. Bullock and the Re- pnblicansof Georgia. It leaves their enemies —even tho harmonious quartette itself—not a leg to stand upon. It makes their title to re cognition by the Republicans of Congress clear aud indisputable. The slanders that de clared them to be corrupt are exposed to shame and the champions of these slanders compet ed to confess their mistake. The only que»» tion that remains for answer is whether, in view of this new demonstration of the justice of the cause of the Republicans of Georgia, that State is to be remanded to the control of Robert Toombs and his associates.

They approve in the warmest terms the conduct of Mrs. McFarland, Mr. Richardson, Mrs. Calhoun and Mrs. Sin clair. Mrs. “Richardson,” as Mrs. McFarland is called, in defiance of the fact that her pre tended marriage with Mr. Richardson was an entire nullity, is pronounced by one of the res olutions to be "an innocent and deeply injured woman, whose greatest fault was an error of judgment in remaining so long with a man who had forfeited every claim to her respect, and outraged every instinct of her womanly na tore:” while another declares that: «« Hia ln.t# tore ; ” while another declares that "the late Albert D. Richardson, in offering honorable marriage to Mrs. McFarland in her distress and misfortune, instead of the insnlting 1 protec tion’ too common in such cases, acted in a courageous, noble, and generous manner, and is deserving of the esteem and admiration of every true woman.” A subsequent resolution of the Sorosis, passed at this same meeting, declares that mar riage is "aholy and God-ordained institution based upon the equal interests, eqnal affec tions mid equal rights of the contracting par ties.” Mr. McFarland, therefore, had some rights, and those rights Mr. Richardson iri- vaded. It Is not a violation of ownership with which he is charged, but a corruption of the marriage bond, and making love to a woman and engaging her to marry him while she was still another man’s wife. If the case had been reversed, if Mrs. McFarland had been an intolerable shrew and torment, and some attractive woman had sought to win her husband from her, does the Sorosis pre tend that she would have had no right to resist and resent the seduction ? We are assured that some of the prominent members of tho Sorosis make no secret of their approval of free-love practices as well as principles. One of the speakers last Monday, we are informed, has borne the relation of wife to two men who are s^ill in the flesh, and has eaten at the table and lodged in the house of her first husband, or companion, as she calls them, daring her connection with her second "companion.” We will not be so unjust as to suppose that the whole club is composed of persons of this character; but respectable women will do well to bo careful Low they commit themselves to declarations which are really, if not apparently, nothing but state ments of the broadest free-love theories.

Such is the three-fold operation of Hoatetter’s Stom ach Bitters, and hence the great superiority of that standard vegetable restorative over all medicines that are merely tonics and nothing else. The effect of the ordinary astringent, tinctures and extracts upon the bowels is disastrous, and upon the depraved blood bile they produce no beneficial effects whatever. In dyspepsia and liver complaint all the fluids and hu mors of the body are more or less infected, and the bowels are often badly constipated. An unmodified astringent—quinine for instance—does infinitely more harm than good in such cases. In Hostetler's Bitters, on the other hand, the stimulating and tonic elements are qualified with aperients and antiseptic ingredi ent*. The finest laxatives *nd blood depurents in the vegetable kingdom are intermixed with those of a purely invigorating nature, and under the operation of this admirable combination, the three important pro cesses of invigoration, regulation and purification go on together. The rapidity with which tlxo disordered organization returns to its natural condition, under a conrso of the Bitters is due to this cause. Every dis turbed function of the body is favorably 'affected by the various properties of this comprehensive and well balanced Hu* rule the bowel* are more subjoct to irregularities, and the fluid# z liable to become vitiated in spring and summer than in winter, and hence the Bitters are ©specially valua ble as a spring and summer alterative, corrective and invigorant.
