Nov. 30.1867-lv. this military crown to these military Caesars remember the verdict which history has passed both on the Roman Ctesar and his selfish and profligate tool. It is but a single step from the Capitol to the Tarpain Rock. 41 1 have heard it said during this debate that a political convention of the party with which I act, during the course of the late war pronounced it a failure. To that declaration 1 did not then subscribe. But I do not hesi tate now to saj- that if the execrable princi ples of this bill are to become the law of the land, if the scheme which is now on foot is to be successfully and permanently consummated, 1 hesitate not to say, though I did not believe st then, that the war has proved a lailure—a dead and utter failure. For what purpose, let me ask, was the late war with the rebellion carried on? For what purpose did you shake the continent with the heavy tread oi a million of men in arms? For what purpose was the tlood-gates of the Treasury thrown wide open? For what purpose did a million of the people’s money flow out with every setting sun ? For what, 1 ask? Simply to determine this rule of constitutional law that the Union was in dissoluble, and that no State could secede from it: and for the purpose of vindicating that single principle of constitutional law a half nii.iion of men, counting the integrity of the Constitution as of more ralue than treasure, life, or limb, forsaking everything else—father and mother, wife and child—offered up their lives upon the fiery altar of war. Sir, that constitutional principle has been written into our organic law with a sword for a pen and blood for ink ; and yet what do these recon struction measures propose ? They propose this: That to day—when not a hostile bayonet is upturned, not a hostile foot in stirrup in the whole South, when the rebellion has been en ded for more than two years.—we should blot out of the Union the very States to retain which in all their “dignity, equality and rights ” was, as Congress declared in 1SU1, the sole purpose of the war. Nay, more; these measures propose more — They set the nation in the attitude of war again—war against the vanquished. They put the Federal Government to the exercise of war powers—the employment of war machinery.— They suppress the writ of habeas corpus, which by the Constitution can be suppressed only in time of invasion or rebellion. They establish martial law, which can only be established within the lines of belligerent military forces and in time of war. They abolish trial by jury, the inextinguishable right of the citizen in all cases and at all times except when mar tial law is legally established. They quarter standing armies upon the whole South. They appoint a supreme military dictator over ten States. They silence the voice of law in the clamor of arms. The}' subject life, limb, lib erty and property to the caprice of the sword. Nor is this the worst. The makers of the law demand its enforcement, not in mercy but in wrath. Now, I need not say it is a settled rule that a public statute in derogation of tlie right of the citizen is to be construed with benigni ty Yet notice has already been given by the chairman of the Military Committee that the House is to lie asked on Monday next “ to im prove ”—that, 1 believe, is the word—“ to im prove the Army of the United States” by re moving Gen. Hancock from his command—the only man who has attempted to exercise be nignant]}- the powers conferred by the Recon struction Acts—the only commander who has attempted to exercise his military discretion in States, and get the balance due them for this Cherokee country. The third and last object in making their protracted stay is to acquaint themselves with the improvements, inventions and discoveries of the age. We asked what they thought of the general opinion, that the Indian ere long will become extinct, that they are gradually moving west ward to the final burial ground of their race? They replied, that this can be true only of those tribes that will not accept of civilization, but adhere to the barbaric enstoms of the savage. As for the Cherokees, up to the time a week or more confined to hfs room on a diet of pickled cabbage to help him over a pro longed carouse, terminating in the deliriums. Nor is that all. Would that it were. It is not even the worst. “ \s tIlls subject is a delicate one, I shall he pardoned, I trust, for withholding names.— The moral sense of the nineteenth century revolts against such publicity as a vile slander The newspapers are licensed to he fanny over the police court r> ports, and to blazon forth poor John Smith's debauch as an awful exam ple, hut between a great man and his “little weakness” the moral ones hang a vail which no journalistic Asmodeus dare lift, without incurring censure as an irresponsible scribbler and an envenomed calumniator.

The tribe is also engaged in looking up and bringing back these refugees to their friends and homes. One of this company, by the name of Reese, said he was once a scholar in the Missionary School of Mr. Blunt, whom he intended to visit, if he should be still living. When in formed that his respected missionary friend had been over two years dead, he seemed sad at the disappointment of not meeting him again in life, as lie had hoped, not having, till then, heard of the death of this friend of his youthful days. When questioned about the condition of their tribe in progress of civilization, they at once laid aside their accustomed reserve and sedateness, their chief speaker giving a glow ing description of the advancement of their people in the arts, sciences and general im provements as far as their means would allow. He w tnt on to say that they “ employed for their schools and academies the best teachers j that could • be protfurod from * he colleges of | New England, and in education and general re- | finement, believed that they were in advance ! of their white neighbors over in Arkansas— that he had not seen a drunk man, belonging ; to the Nation, in eight years, and though there ! was no law against the sale of intoxicating ! liquors, yet public opinion so discountenanced the traffic that no one of means or respecta- j bility can be found to engage iu the business,” j and added, with particular emphasis, “ we are j a nation of white men, and though our laws are j few and simple, yet crime and vice are of rare | occurrence in our midst. A sound, high-toned • public sentiment is the restraining moral pow er of the land, and is worth more than volumes of written laws and penalties.” We regret that their coming in our midst had not been previously known, in order that they could have received a public reception befitting their character and humane mission.

Eight years since when we were engaged as city editor of a Milwaukee paper, there lived in this State an editor named Powell, now connected with a Chicago paper, we think. lie is unless he has quit it lately. In 1802, Powell was married to a Miss Ellen Burnham, of Brodhead, Wisconsin, after a courtship of some months. Miss Burnham’s parents were old residents of Brodhead, and j of high respectability. The daughter taught; music, had a large number of pupils, and was j very attractive. Powell lived with her as j husband for two years, she being all that time ! a good wife in rll respects, presenting him ; with but one child. At the expiration of two j rears, Mrs. Powell's voice changed, she grew j light whiskers, and gradually changed her sex, ! developing into a man, in all respects, as if nature, anxious for a freak, had turned a por tion of herself wrong side out! The husband and wife separated when the wife became a man, and Mrs. Ellen Powell took the name of Edgar Burnham, donned male attire, sought and obtained employment as a clerk in Chicago, and lived a single young man fer one year. During this time he fell in love with a niece of Senator Morgan, of New York, but did not. marry her for reasons not pertinent to this article. But about the end of the year he did marry a young lady of Brodhead, Wis. -a Mis§ Gerta Everett, who was a music pupil of liis when he was Miss Ellen Burnham, over three years previous to the marriage, which was bout two years ago. S*>on after this marriage “Edgar” Burnham and wife removed to Water loo, Iowa, where they reside, or did not long since.

If the applicant has only so much property as is above enumerated, of course lie has noth ing to give up to his creditors. The result of the benefit of taking this law is a discharge from all his indebtedness. In cases where there is no contest, it requires from sixty to ninety days to procure this dis charge. This law went into operation on the second day of March, 1807, and persons who propose to avail themselves of its advantages should do so as soon as possible, as they cannot do so after one year from its commencement, unless they can pay fifty cents on the dollar of their indebtedness, or get the consent of a majority iu number and value of their creditors. From the Oincinatti Commercial, [Rail.] The Great Reaction. NOT ONE INTELLIGENT KEPI ULICAX IX A DOZEN F.N- DORSKS TUB PEES ENT COURSE OF CONGRESS. Yast as the power Vested in Congress is, it may p;iss away between the rising and the setting <>f the sun from the party that wields it. A breath can unmake it as a breath h.is made, and there is no power in Congress to fix upon the country the policy of any party caucus.— Congress is giving too much attention to the Month. The battle-ground of the next Presi dential campaign is the North, and Congress is abandoning it for an untenable position in the South. The Democracy have already the enormous advantage of irresponsibility. This always be longs to the opposition, and tends to produce changes and overthrow Administrations. In ! addition to this they have the sympathy of the j President, and it is believed, of a majority I of; the Supreme Court. Now when it is con j sidered that the overhearing power that the | caucus that controls Congress iias in command- ! ing a two thirds vote in both branches of that body is only retained by the exclusion of the the representatives of tliu States disordered by rebellion, it becomes pretty evident,, we should say, that the Republicans in Congress should take the best cave of their strength in the Northern States. This suggestion becomes still more impressive when we consider that negro suffrage, which is the corner stone of Congressional reconstruction, as negro slavery was the corner stone of the Southern Confed eracy. was voted down in Ohio by fifty thou sand majority iu October last, and that the Democracy have carried the State of Penn sylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut and New York, the latter by fifty thousand majority.— Are gentlemen of the Republican party in Con gress pursuing the course that will re establish the party iu power in New York ? The present Congressional policy of failing to impeach An drew Johnson, and then persisting in fighting him and suffering the great interests of the country to go without first attention, is imbe cile. The passion and fury displayed iu it is all foolishness. Not one intelligent Republican in a dozen indorses the present course of Congress. There is almost universal deprecation of it. and apprehension about it. If these facts can l»e got into Congress without a surgical opera tion, it will be well. Great confidence is ex pressed that the Democratic partisans will coin- indiscretions sufficient to balance those of Congress. We should not, however, depend upon their indiscretion altogether. 'They have not the opportunity to make capital against themselves that the majority in Congress has. We object to the immediate return of the Democratic party to power. Therefore we ob ject to the headlong partisan ism and extreme exertions of disputed authority that are dis tinguishing the action of Congress. SCHEDULE OF THE A. & W. P. E. R, L. F.
