A PARTISAN THICK.
One of the moil dingMCefuf outrage* per
petrated by the dominant party in Cungrea*
wa» tbe attachmeol of an amendment to a
bill on the 13ib inet, which waa put through
both Hoaeee, depriving the Supreme Court
of appellate jurisdiction in oases arising un
der the Eeconstruction acta. It ia stated
that this importaut amendment waa bo art
fully covered np in the bill that it did not
attiact the attention of the Democrats, and
it waa not uritil it had bean rushed through
and aeut to the President that ill real sig
nificance behanSe known. The amendment
is substantially the same aa the bill intro
duced by Mr. Trumbull on the day that the
Supreme Court decided that it had jutiadio-
tion in the McCardle caae. If pasted over
the veto of the President it will throw this
caae out of court, together with all others
arising under the Reconstruction acta. Ii
repeals so much of the act, of February 5tb,
18(17, as allows appeals in habeas car/ius
cases hr the Supreme Bench. - This ia the
law under which Black aud Field claim that
the Court has the right to paaa upon the
McCardle caae, though Triynbull and Car
penter deny tt* jurisdiction under this or
any other law. The nuttier aa well aa the

Thau. Stxtkis has written a letter in which
he says lie lielieves that impartial suffrage ia
one of the inalienable rights mentioned in the
Declaration of Independence, and that the Re

Thu New York Tribune boldly pronounces
for forcing negro suffrage on the North, it

Ben. Wade says, if he becomes Preaident
by the deposition of Mr. Johnaon, he will
give special attention to the Southern rebels,
“who have made us enough of trouble, first
by their treason, and since the surrender by
their continual turbulence.’’ The old tyrant
doesn’t believe “they have ever been ruled
with a firm enough hand.”
Rklikvhd from Ddtt.— At a special meet
ing of the Board of Directors of the Macon
and Western Railroad, B. B. Walker, Super
intendent, and Mr. Crotchett, Master Me
chanic, were relieved from duty. It is un
derstood that the duties of the Superintend
ent of the line will now devolve upou the
President of the road, A. J • White, Esq.
So says the Macon Messenger,
A new method of propelling steamboats is
shortly to be exhibited. The propelling
power is steam, but is to be used in an en
tirely different manner from that common st
present. The ponderous, expensive, and
dangerous marine engines, with their enor
mous shafts, cranks, and walking-beams, are
to be done away with,. and the power is to
be applied directly to the periphery of the
paddle wheal.
The Washington Chronicle of the 12th
instant admits that the Supreme Court will
decide the reconstruction acts unconstitu
tional, and adds: “The decree of the Su
preme Court possesses no more value than
the resolution of a town meeting. I propose
to offset it with the New Hampshire elec
tio£& which possesses the value of being a
higher power even than the Supreme Court,
w'uh its political majority, of one or two
men.” Speaker- Colfax «nd other Radicals
have declared repeatedly that Congress will
not permit any court to overrule the laws
passed by t^iat body/?
The Democrats in New Hampshire, at the
late election, reduced.^he Radical majority
nearly one thousaud votes, gained tor their
own ticket over four thousand, and made a
net gain of twenty-four Representatives in
the Legislature. This is doing well, and the
came ratio of redaction. and increase will
give the Demooracy the country iu Novem
ber. General Grant was nominated for Pre
aident, in New Hampshire, to help Harri-
man, but Harriman received a larger major

KMfil
As the tl«e approaches for the election, and
especially since the announcement of the nom
inations of the Bradley Refuge wing of the
Radical party, for State, County and Munici
pal officers, the subject is becoming one of ab
sorbing interest to all classes of our citizens.
Especially is there a deep feeling among our
people in regard to the character of the muni
cipal government which is to be determined by
the election on the 20th proximo. The great
interests at stake, the influence to be exerted
by "it upon the commercial prosperity of our
city thus involving the welfare of ill classes of
its citizens, render this election the most im
portant that has been held since the incorpora
tion of Savannah as a city. We are gratified
to learn that not only are those most deeply
interested in a prudent, wise and honest man
agement of the financial and generaJ policy of
the City fully aroused to the necessity of rescuing
the\city government from the threatened grasp
of irresponsible, incompetent and unworthy as
pirants to office, but also that the more worthy
and respectable portion of ourcolored citizens,
those permanently residing in the city, and
who feel their identification with its welfare,
are equally opposed to the movement which
has for ita object, with the aid of interlopers
and refugees from the surrounding districts,
id place unworthy and incompetent men in
municipal offices, to the disgrace aod injury
of the city in which they have their homes,
and with whose citizens they hope by honest
industry to live and prosper. We under
stand that this class of our colored popula
tion very generally express their determina
tion to have nothing to do with the outside
movement of Monday last, regarding the
nomineoa of that * meeting as having no
olaiuis upon their corfidence or support.
St. Patrick’s Day.
Tbs annual raturn of the natal day of Ireland's
patron Saint—tha good 8aint Patrick, waa celebrated
yesterday in a at y la which reminda as of ante Odium
times—the yarioue organizations representing th»
Irish element of our community turning out in.
strength upou the occasion.
At 10 o’clock, the Irish Union Society, the Hiber
nian Society, the Workingmen's Benevolent Suciety
and St. Patrick's Total Abstinence Benevolent Seciety
recently organized, assembled st their respective
haile—the former installing their officers aa follows :
Hon. D. A. O’Byrne, President; Andrew FlatUy, Vice
President; W. J. Flynn, Secretary ; Patrick Ford and
Jno. O’Comiell, Standard Bearers. Alter the usual
business transacted, they move.1 to the Marshall
House, the headquarters of the Hibernian Society, to
act aa an eeoort oi that organization, of which the
following gentlemen are the Officers: Jno. J. Kelly,
Preaident; Ospt. Jno McMahon, Vice President s L
J. Gsilmartin, Treasurer ; (Japt. Jno. K. Dillon,.Secre
tary; aud P. K. Shields, Standard Bearer. The pror
cession then moved down Whitaker to Bay street,
where they were joined by the oilier two Societies
abovementioned, and; the whole moved to the Mason-
ie Hall, which was tilled with ladies and gentlemen
attracted by the fame of the Orator of the Day, Judge
O. A- Lochrane. The stand was occupied by the of
ficers of the Societies, with the Standard Bearers
carrying the appropriate emblems of Old Ireland.
Preaident Kelly, of the Hibernian, introduced the
Orator of the Day in the following language: ''In
compliance with a time-honored custom, although I
think it unnecessary, to introduce the distinguished
gentleman who will address you, I take pleasure iu
introducing.the Orator of the Day, tUe Hon. Judge
Lochrane,’' who, with his characteristic eloquence,

Fellow-citizens, Ladies and Gentlemen and Countrymen:
1 feel an honest aud manly prido which I would iu
vain oonceal from you. my frieuda aud feilow couu-
tryrneu. iu again meetiug you on this festive aud
national occasion.
There are men who deem it injudicious to maintain
aDy separate national festivals. and blending with
the elements of society among which they live, denire
to lose all sentiments of foreign pride or aasociatiuu.
This policy la as unsound in philosophy as it ia un
natural iu gratitude. The marriage vow does not
cancel maternal affection, and love as it guakee out to
the blushing bride, would be only a thing of fancy, if
the mother who era tied infancy—smiled away tears,
soothed pain aud chtrmed existence, was forgotten.
Irishmen of Savannah, 18 years ago when I made my
first speech in vindication of the chums of Ireland on
the memory oi her acutU-red children, 1 said you knew
what it waa to suffer—love is uot dead, mem ory ia not
faded; the home of childhood ia still remembered
Thank God! I am atill spared, amid the troubles of
the times; to repeat the sentiment. For you can re
call a mother’s blessing—her affection .to larowell —
her tears, her heart throhs, Iter waihug-still rings iu
your ears.—her prayers have followed you, and well
may yoa exclaim—
« The bills may tower, the waves may rise,
Aud roll between my home and me,
Yet shall my quenchless memories
Turn with undying lovs to thee.’’
This is a sentiment to cherish, not to crush—lor

I c.iuuot lorgel the • euiiinent I received from that
noblaaud gallaut representative of our na.no and
nation, General Cleburne, written in iespouse to a
I ell or <>t mine, thanking him in,the name of his
countrymen for his illustration to their devotion for
the sec ion of tlier adoption aud cuoloe. Ate re
turned me his tbauks for the compliment c-n*eyed
and r< marked, “He was more seiisu vc to the good
opinion of Ida countrymen th in that of a 1 the world
beside.” No nobler illustration could be given in
favor of the posit ion I occupy, for in him,we may re
cognise, at one glance, the pure-t typo of Irish ua
tionaliLy aud the highest and deepest devotion to
the land of bis adoption.
