OON STITTTTIOK ALTS T. ATTOUSTA, q-A, __ WEDNESDAY MOBSINQ.AUQ. 180869 AHEAD.” “ 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. [Atlanta Constitution, 14 th. Southwestern Railroad Dividend.— Mr. Boifeuillct, the Secretary and Treasur er of the Southwestern Railroad Company, gives stockholders notice of a dividend of four dollars per share, payable after the 19th instant. [F.om tlie Baltimore Sun. 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, at San Francisco, will be passed over the Union Pacific Railroad at one and one fifth of the regular charge, with a free re turn passage, and at half fare either way on the Central Pacific. tm < ■ The Second Avenue Railway Company, New York, on Thursday, paid the widow of John Beglen, who was killed by one of their cars the day previous, S6OO, on con dition that she would not institute a suit for damages. Ohio. 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. Permanently Cured. Dr. J- A.

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.
