“ The impracticables of the Southern
Press see iu the union of
crats with a section oi the Republican
party a decisive check to the chances for
reviving the old Democratic organization.
JSXiIWr is the °f the A*,
eusta (Ga.) Constitutionalist, les,—there
are breakers ahead of the Democratic
organization wherever moderate, concilia
tory sentiments prevail.”
[H f Y. Times, August Uth.
The wounded never shrink until they are
hurt badly, and it has taken several punc
turings to make the Times bawl. The days
are evil, no doubt, but true men should all
the mire be firm. The contest is, at present,
up-hill; but a better time will come, if we
who reverence Constitutional Liberty stand
to our guns and fire away at every 'finini
nent deadly fraud of the enemy. We wish
the people to understand and remember
that they were happy under the Constitu
tion as it was; that they have become
wretched just in the proportion, as that
sacred instrument has been denied and de
parted from. Until such knowledge be
comes the rule of a party of principle, and
not the shuttlecock of a party of shams,
there can never be peace or pleasantness
in this country. We wish to revive a
love for our ancient rights and our an
cient Charter, to the end that not only the
Mouth shall be vindicated and saved, but
also that those of the North who are re
sponsible for our present wrongs shall
share in the blessedness of a glorious Res
toration. Even in New York, where the
Times is published, we have lately beheld
the interposition of the Executive Sword.
Not only does the President, given us by
the Times and its coadjutors, dabble in
State elections at the. South, but he has, in
the case of Pratt, violated the sovereign
ty of New York. We find a President of
the United States right royally encourag
aging one of his subordinates to defy the
State authorities. Whereat New York sets
up a portentous growl, and, in the firm at
titude of Judge McCunn, we recognize a
vitality in State Rights which some per
sons periodically affect to coffin and entomb.
The limes, no doubt, dislikes this visitation
of the Sword, bus it is only a hint of worse
to come, unless those who are guiltless of
their country’s disgraceful fall from gen
uine Republicanism shall dare assert the
truth that animated, and still animates
them—shall dare assume the leadership in
any campaign which is planned for the
overthrow of the present despotism. Yes
-j-there are breakers ahead. We see it;
we know it. Behold the Virginia cheat, so
“mild,” so “conciliatory” in its first in
ception ; but so fatal in its last estate. If
the cheat shall become national; if the
Democratic organization fail in its high
mission and seek debasing alliances, its
failure ie already decreed and its doom
will be a deserved one. So far as we have
the power to prevent any movement in
this State, looking to a mongrel union of
Democrats and so-called Conservative Re
publicans, under the lead of the latter, we
shall unhesitatingly exert that power. Dif
fleuties beset us and breakers boil ahead ;
but, with the blessing of heaven and the
intrepidity born of justice, we hope to
brush away all obstacles and safely pass
the reef.
“ Bitter-Enders.” —The telegraph in
forms us that Judge Dent rebukes his im
perial brother-in-law for encouraging what
he calls the “ Bitter-enders.” This is for
public inspection. According to the Bal
timore Gazette, Judge Dent thus privately
interprets the meaning of U. S. G.’s appar
ent surrender:
“Mv Dear Brother-in-Law: 1 know
that the ‘ Conservatives ’ of Mississippi
will succeed'; and if they are bound to do
so, you know I prefer you to ‘ any other
man.’ But you see how lam beset by the
rascals, who have chased me all over the
country. I must say something to them to
save my bacon for the nonce. Go ahead !
I am a man of few words.”
Boutwell has the victory thus far. But
it may be that yielding to the bitter eud of
Boutwell is deemed the best way to se
cure the promptitude of a graud bitter-end
smash-up.
Pamphlets. —We are indebted to the
venerable Nathan Lord, President of Dart
mouth College, for a copy of his Letter to
the Alumni. This letter was written ou the
hundreth anniversary of Dartmouth Col-,
lege, and is a lengthened exposition of the
peculiar theological and philosophical con
victious of the author.. We do not agree
with him in many of his ideas, but there
can be no doubt of his candor and since
rity.
With the compliments of Rufus B. Bul
lock, we are presented with a pamphlet
containing much matter in reference to Ne
gro Eligibility, from the arguments of
Counsel to a communication in the Macou
* Telegraph. It is a convenient compilation
for reference and will be regarded as a cu
riosity among the archives of the State.
Multum in Parvo.— We publish, in an
other column, an editorial article from the
Atlanta Constitution, upon a subject hereto
fore very fully discussed by us. This arti
cle is short, but pertinent and well-direct
ed—fully deserving our caption of “ Much
in Little.” We commend it to the atten
tion of our readers, believing they will be
profited by its perusal.
Is the General Assembly as a Court
Bound by Legal Principles. — A number
of our contemporaries have been very posi
tive in asserting that the Legislature w'ere
not governable by the principles of law
when acting in a judical capacity.
The question hag been pretty thoroughly
argued. Os course these gentlemen inge
niously strike at the doctrine of Res Ad
judicata by this method of reasoning.
But we offer some authority of very high
legal standing. We quote the following
pertinent paragraph from “Kent’s Com
mentaries.”
For tlie legal profession, the name of
Kent has a weighty prestige, and his
opinions carry the value due to prefound
learning, and a masterly grasp of the whole
scheme of jurisprudence.
We quote the extract:
“ Each House is made the sole judge of
the election returns and qualifications of
its members. The same power is vested in
the British House of Commons, and in the
Legislatures of the several States ; and
there is no other body known to the Con
stitution, to which such g power might be
safely trusted. It is requisite to preserve
. a pure and genuine representation, and to
control the evils of irregular, corrupt and
tumultuous elections ; and as each House
acts in these cases in a judicial character , its
daemons, like the decisions of any other court
of justice, ought to he regulated by known prin
ciples of law and strictly adhered to for the
sake of uniformity and certainty .”
W can add nothing to this, and commend
It to our confreres.

The Case of John H. Pratt.
On the 6t.h inst,., John 11. Pratt, an al
leged ringleader in the Jefferson (Texas)
riots, was arrested and committed to jail
in New York, by a detective from the hpad
quarters of General Reynolds, who is said
to have been on his track -since April last
While in the custody of the Uniled'States
Marshal, a writ oi habeas corpus was issued
by Judge McCunn, of the State Court, to
United States Commissioner Osborn, who
at first refused to give him up, whereupon
Judge McCunn said he should direct the
sheriff to enforce the writ and call upon the
State military authorities for aid. An in
•terview then ensued between Judge Mc-
Cunn and United States District Attorney
Pierrepont, which was followed by produc
ing Pratt in the State Court on the 9th
inst., whereupon Mr. Pierrepont asked that
the prisoner be remanded to the custody of
the United States Marshal. This was ob
jected to by his counsel, on the ground that
the Federal authorities had no jurisdiction,
but the Judge granted the request. After
the adjournment of this examination, a
squad of United States soldiers took the
prisoner from the custody of Marshal Bar
low and hurried him to Fort Schuyler,
where he was delivered into the charge of
Major Taylor. This summary proceeding
is believed to have been prompted by the
apprehension that Judge McCunn would
render a decision liberating the prisoner on
the grounds above mentioned. On the next
day the Judge decided to discharge the
prisoner from custody, on the grounds,
first, that murder is not a United States
offense, except in cases over which the Gov
ernment have exclusive jurisdiction; se
cond, that the prisoner had not been com
mitted by a United States Court. The
prisoner, however, was still at Fort Schuy
ler, Marshal Barlow did not obey the or
der of the State Judge, and the Secretary
of War directed the commandant of the
fort to hold Pratt until further orders of
Government. This was on the 12th inst.,
and the case had been set down for exam
ination at 1, p. m., the same day, before
Commissioner Osborn, but Marshal Barlow
declined to produce the prisoner on the
ground that he had been served with an
order from Judge McCuun to bring him
before the Superior Court. He thought
if the State Court had the legal right to
make this order, it would be his duty to
submit to its dicta. . If the State Court
was wrong in makir j it, it would be neces
sary to have a sufficient force in readiness
to prevent Pratt from being taken from his
custody when brought down for examina
tion. It was certainly his duty to obey the
order endorsed on the Commissioner’s war
rant, but in view of the position in which
he was placed he thought it his duty to
take the he had and submit his rea
sons. It was then determined to adjourn
the examination to Monday next. Simul
taneously with these proceedings, it ap
pears that Judge McCunn was about to
issue a writ against Major Taylor and
Colonel Pratt, to bring them before him,
on the application of N. A. Berge, when
Assistant District Attorney Stanley ap
peared and said if Jucge McCunn would
consent to a suspension until 2, p. m., yes
terday, the prisoner would be produced,
when a compromise might be agreed upon
to reconcile the differences between the
State and Government authorities. The
United States Commissioner is understood
to have taken no part in this stipulation,
as he holds that the prisoner is still under
his jurisdiction, and that, the State Courts
cannot interfere.
The proceedings of yesterday at first
wore a serious look, if credit can be given
to the reports by telegraph that the United
States Marshal had summoned a company
of Federal soldiers to his aid, and that a
regiment of militia had been called upon
to support Judge McCunn. Subsequent
dispatches, however, state that Judge Mc-
Cunn, in order to avoid an actual conflict
of arms, adjourned farther proceedings un
til Monday next, to await the action of the
United States Commissioner. In the mean
time the warrants ou Marshal Barlow to
surrender the prisoner to the State authori
ties have been signed but not issued. The
Federal soldiers occupy the United States
court room and guard the person of the
marshal, An armed truce may be said to
exist.
In his position Judge McCunn is fully
sustained by the highest legal authorities.
The Federal Government lias no jurisdic
tion of the crime of murder except in cer
tain specified cases, viz: “ jVhen commit
ted on the high sests, or within any fort,
arsenal, dock yard, magazine, or in any
other place or district of country under
the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the
United States.” Nothing appeared on the
face of the commitment to show that the
murder charged was committed “on the
high seas, or within any fort, arsenal,
dock yard, magazine, or in any other
place or district of country under the
sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the United
States.” But allowing to the Federal
courts every presumption of jurisdiction to
which Superior Courts are entitled, it is
still apparent that they have no jurisdic
tion of the crime charged against the peti
tioner. The alleged murder was commit
ted at Jeffersonville, in the State of Texas,
and is an offence against the State of Texas,
not against the United States. It is a crime
of which the courts of Texas have exclu
sive jurisdiction. In the language of Mr.
Justice Nelson, adjudicating the very point
in the “ Matter of James Egan,” who was
tried and convicted by the Federal authori
ties for murder committed in South Caro
lina, and who for this, as well’as other rea
sons, was discharged on habeas corpus: “It
will be observed that the offense is one
which, according to our constitutional
system of Government, is cognizable by the
judicial authorities of the State, and not of
the Federal Government.” And, on the
same ground, in the “ Matter of Martin,”
(45 Barbour, 143,) Mr. Justice Leonard dis
charged the petitioner on habeas corpns .
holding that of the offense charged—arson
in the city of New York —the Federal Gov
ernment had no jurisdiction—a decision in
which the United States authorities had
decorously acquiesced.
The Pratt case presents, like others in
which the same principle has been involv
ed, a shameless commentary upon our
boasted civil government, the right of trial
by jury, and the comity established between
the States for the rendition of parties ac
cused of crime. All this arises out of the
anomalous condition in which States will
ing and anxious now for four or five years
to fulfill their obligations to the Union and
the Constitution, have been put and kept
in the interest of party. However guilty
Pratt may be, it is better one more should go
unwbipt of justice than that the free insti
tutions of a country should be mocked and
outraged to secure his punishment. It is
time that this broad mantle of martial law
should be contracted instead of beipg ex
panded, as is attempted, from Texas to
New York. And even in the “unrecon
structed States,” so-called, military tribu
nals have received an admonition in the
disposition made of the Yerger case in
Mississippi, to await the decision of the
United States Supreme Court before exer
cising authority, which is at war with th#
most manifest and undisputed guaranty of
freedom in the Constitution.
Serving the Lord.— The Vicksburg
Herald relates the following. It says:
“ An acquaintance was yesterdoy repri
manded tor drinking to excess. He urged
in answer, that he supported, by drinking,
the saloon ; they, by their license, support
ed the city hospital. It was for the benefit
of the poor, and he, by drinking, did in the
end but 1 give to the poor,’ which was
‘ supporting the Lord,’ and, of course, per
fectly justifiable aud praiseworthy.”
Our Bonds Abroad.— The London Pall
Mall Gazette estimates the amount of United
States bonds held abroad to be about
$1,200,000,000, which, if the estimate be
correct, would cause a drain of $60,000,000
a year from this country to pay the inter
est on them.
It is announced that the wives of repre
sentatives to the Grand Lodge of the United
States of the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows, which meets in September next,

turn passage, and at half fare either way

THE DEMOCRATIC PRESS OF OHIO ON THE
NOMINATION OF MR. PENDLETON
[From tbeCinetoiiHti Enquirer.
THE RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT PLACE—M»-
PENDLETON FOR GOVERNOR.
The wisest thing possible wasdohe by
the Democratic State Central Committee
at Columbus yesterday. Accepting the
manifestations of enthusiasm with which
the name of Hou. George H. Pendleton
was received in the recent State Conven
tion as a clear and sufficient indication of
the popular preference, and unwilling to
incur the delay in opening the canvass
which would be inevitable if the conven
tion were to be reassembled, the members
of the committee unanimously concurred
in tendering to that gentleman the nomina
tion for Governor of Ohio. We are confi
dent that every Democrat in the State, and
thousands of the opposing party—who
have become disgusted with the corruption
of its leaders, and alarmed at the revolu
tionary tendency of the policy they persist
in pursuing—will participate in the satis
faction with which we announce that Mr.
Pendleton has sacrificed his well known
personal feelings in the matter, and con
sented to accept the position to which he
has been called. The complete and un
questionable identification of Mr. Pendle
ton with the position taken by the Democ
racy in their platform upon the great ques-'
tions of the finances, negro suffrage, and
the tariff, guarantees us against the possi
bility that any conceivable tactics of the
enemy can divert the attention of the peo
ple from these paramount issues of the
campaign. In a fair contest upon these
issues, a Democratic triumph is as certain
as the dawning of the election day; and
with Mr. Pendleton for our candidate, we
have the positive assurance that the issues
are squarely presented and fully under
stood. We congratulate the Democracy
and the people of the State upon the aus
picious result of the committee’s delibera
tions ; a result which, we cannot doubt will
insure the final overthrow of Radicalism
in Ohio, on the second Tuesday of next
October.
t [From the Columbus Statesman.
GEORGE H. PENDLETON FOR GOVERNOR OF
OHIO.
With loud acclaim, in every neighbor
hood in Ohio, the people will rejoice at the
unanimous nomination of George H. Pen
dleton as the candidate for Governor of
Ohio. Within the broad bounds of the
Union, in talent, in character,in statesman
ship, he is the peer of the ablest and best.
His fame is not confined within the limits
of hid native State, but is co-extensive with
the Union, in which he is regarded as
among the ablest leaders of the Democracy
—the “ coming man ” of the Republic.
They who regarded the declension of Gen
eral Rosecrans as the defeat of the Democ
racy, will now find, when his place is sup
plied by Ohio’s favorite son, that they
reckoned without their host. No nomina
tion could be better received—none that
will be so cordially aeeepted by the Conser
vative men of the State, anxious that the
executive affairs be administered by one of
the noblest minds of the Republic. ‘ George
H. Pendleton is one whom the State feels
proud to Gall her son- He is “ native here
and to the manner ’’ of Ohioans born. Lov
ing his native State as the son loves his
mother, his noble heart never beat a single
throb but for her prosperity and that of the
Republic. Ohio has had able Governors,
but iu the future history of the State
his name will “ lead all the rest.” The
nomination of Mr- Pendleton—his prompt
acceptance, and fiis pledge to canvass
the State, Garries with it an assnrance of
success. No man is more lovecl by the?
masses of the people—none stand higher as
a man of talent—pone of purer morals or
more uprightness of conduct—and we ven
, ture the assertion that no nominee for of
fice since the days of Jackson ever excited
more of enthusiasm, than that with which
the name of George H. Pendleton, for Gov
ernor of Ohio, will be received by the Dem
ocratic and Conservative voters of Ohio.
That he will be elected, no man in his sober
senses can have a reasonablo doubt. The
Democratic State Central Committee, the
members of which placed him in nomina
tion, did so without a dissenting voice.
Before doing this, a telegram signed by all
the members, was transmitted to Mr. Pen
dleton. The reply contained an assurance
that if nominated by the he
would accept the situation. The nomina
tion wa3 then made—every member of the
committee believing that in so doing they
were making a Governor lor Ohio who
would do honor to the State. The meed of
well done good and faithful servants, is
well deserved by them. With a full ticket
now in the field, the Democracy must or
ganize for the contest in every county in
the State- This done. Radicalism will
never again rally under its present name.
[Fiom th« Cleveland Piaindealer.
The nomination of Mr. Pendleton causes
the utmpst consternation and confusion in
the ranks of the Radicals. They know full
well the strong hold he has on the affec
tions of the people, and even those who are
the most blinded by prejudice, or those who
are most reckless in hurling the shafts of
falsehood, will not dare to assail his per
sonal honesty or patriotism.
***•*•*-*■*
To our Democratic friends we have to
say that the canvass will be a short one.
We must bestir ourselves industriously.
We must commence at once the work of
thorough organization in every ward, town
ship and school district in the State. The
Democratic party of Ohio,, 250,000 strong,
has never had a candidate more worthy to
rally around. We have a Legislature to
elect, upon which will devolve the import
ant duty of re-districting the State into
Congressional districts. We ought to elect
a Democratic Legislature, and by an im
partial apportionment secure a fair repre
sentation in Congress. By the last unjust
apportionment of the Republican Legisla
ture, the Democracy of Ohio, with 250,000
votes, are only able to secure six Congress
men, while the Republicans, with only
280,000 votes, have thirteen. An honest ap
portionment would make a different allow
ing, and give a minority a just representa
tion. To secure the election of PendletOD,
our whole State ticket, and the election of
a Democratic Legislature, we should bend
onr entire energies.

PAINLESS DIGESTION. |
“No man,” says Sir Astiey Cooper, “ought to
know by his sensations that he has a stomach.’’ In
other words, when digestion is pefect there is neither
pain nor uneasiness in the region where it takes
place. Nausea, want of appeille, flatulency, oppns
sion after ealing, shooting i aiss in the epigastrium, a
flushing of the lace at meal times, and a furred tongue
in the morning, arc among the direct symptoms of in
digestion. Constipation, biliousness, headache, ner
vous irritabilhy, physical weakness, and low spirits,
are its a’most invariable companions. All these indi
cations of Dyspepsia, whether imteedate or seconda
ry, are usually aggravated by hot weather.
The close of Summer is therefore the season when
the victim of Dyspepsia raoet urgently needs a tonic,
and regulating mediine. Os course, every invalid
has many advisers. One friend recommends oue
