Gen. Sheridan sent t<> the Secretary
of War on Tuesday, is not warranted

and could scarcely be warranted un
der any circumstances. We have
i never published such a document be

it has ever been seen in a coun

lieve that the world has gone back to
two or three hundred years in the
theory and in the practice <f govern

Ireland pretty much as Sheridan
proposes to treat Louisiana. Imt most
of us wen* under tin* impression that

loss to make out what are Gen. Slier-,
idan's ideas of the constitution of the
functions of Congress, or of the pow
ers of the Executive, to say nothing
of the ilowers which may rightfully
be exercised by the Lieutenant Gen
eral of tin* Army. There is a short
eul still, which Gen. Sheridan might
have reconsidered. It is for tin*
to declare the Constitution
and all its amendments annulled,
jjphut up Congress, put down all news
papers, and then proclaim himself
with Gen. Sheridan as his
sole minister and chief executioner.
.If Gen. Sheridan had advised this
at once he would scarcely
’■have shown greater ignorance or dis
regard of law than he has done in his
most extraordinary, and we must
say, disgraceful dispatches of Janu

SENATE.
Washington, Jan. 7. Mr. Scott
1 1 'resented a memorial of the working
j men of Pennsylvania, asking the
I granting of a subsidy to the lease of
! the Pacific Railroad, referred to com
mittee oil roads.
Pending the discussion, the morn
ling hour expired and the bill went
< ver.
The important business being the
resolution of inquiry concerning the
military movements in Louisiana
was taken up.
Mr. Gordon said, yesterday, in re
ply to some harshremarks addressed
to him by the Senator from Vermont,
Edmunds, he had been betrayed into
making some remarks about the re
sponsibility as applied to that Sena
tor. By that word he had done an
injustice to the Senator from Ver
mont. The responsibility of that
Senator as a statesman and
a jurist and as a member
of society was, in his opinion, of tin*
highest order and most honorable
character. Having done an injustice
to tin* Senator, he wished now, in the
presence of the Senate, to express t<>
I him his.sincere regrets. Forbidden,
as Senators were, to say anything of
a personal nature, he now made the
only reparation left to him.
Mr. E imundsdesired to express his
obligation to tin* Senator from Geor
gia for the very Handsome maimer in
which lie had just spoken. Hi* felt
satisfied that on reflection the Sena
tor would see that lie had been un
just. He (Mr. E.) did not intend to
address any harsh language to the
Senator, or reflect on him presonaliy,
and if the Senator so understood him
he was sorry.
Mr. Hamilton of Maryland said
from the unprecedented diameter of
the seizure of the State House in
Now Orleans, the people of the coun
try might well take alarm. It was a
most unusual thing in this land of
liberty, however usual it might be in
monarchical countries. The inform
ation asked of the President as to
the reasons influencing his action,
was desired by all, and lie did not
suppose that there would be any ob
jection to passing it. Tito Senator
from Wisconsin' however liad suggest
ed what an* you going to do if the j
President don't answer tin* resolu
tion? He di<l not believe that tin*
President would decline to answer,
but what will we do if lie don’t give
the reasons for hit*action? The army
does not belong to tin* President, nor
to the Governor of any State, but it,

soldier, we can leave him without n j
ve-s *1; that is a remedy we have j
against a despotic executive, and our I
duty to the people might be such as I
to compel us to use it. Mr. H. then J
proceeded to comment on the scenes j
of Monday last. He denied that tin* j
Legislature had a right, to prescribe j
the manner in which its successor
should be organized. There never I
had been a precedent in t In* history of
the country for this action of Mon
day lust. A Governor of u State, now j
usurping Governor for In* is no mor<* |
Governor of Louisiana than I am, j
actually command tin* army of I
the United States, and by bis orders
this army exjels from their seats, j
five member a of th * Legislature.
There had been no ]>re odent, for this
but the precedent Had now
been made and who can tell
when and when* it will b * repealed.
It i* not tin* duty of officers and sol
diers to be arresting legislators. That
is for the people to settle. He then
referred to a circular sent out last
! fall by the Indiana Republican (Vn
-i vontion asking the Uepubliean papers
! of the State to keep prominently be
| fore the people, until the election,
accounts of Southern outrages.
I Mr. Logan asked if the Senator
j was candid in intimating that stories |
of Southern outrages were concocted j
for election purposes.
Mr. Hamilton said there liad been
j murders in the South just as in the
North, and no one regretted this I
I more than he; but it was the fact j
I that these stories of Southern out-,
' rages were heralded before the |
I country for campaign purposes.
Mr. Logan held up a volume which
he said contained sworn testimony*
proving that one hundred negroes |
were murdered in one place. He was j
prepared to show by sworn state
j meats that these outrages were com- i
1 rnitted, and the men who said they |
] were made for campaign purposes l
were seared with iron hearts, Ap
i plause in the gallery.
The Chair (Mr. Ferry, of Michigan,)
said these manifestations in the gal
leries must close, and tie* Sergeant-j
at-Arms would see that order was
preserved.
Mr Hamilton said this outrage bu
siness must be stopped. It is wrong.
Mr. Morton Does the Senator'
mean the murders arc* wrong, or the j
telling of them is wrong?
Mr. Hamilton said both were]
wrong. It was wrong to commit I
murder, and it was wrong to pro- j
claim these murders all over the j
North for no other purpose than to
, inflame the minds of the people of
that section against the South.
Mr. Logan asked the Senator if he

justified the Penn revolution in Sep
1t ember last.
Mr. Hamilton asked whether the
i Senator believed that MeEnery and
| Penn were elected Governor.
Mr. Logan When the Senator an
swers my question, I will answer his.
I ask him whether he justified the
rebellion of Penn and bis 10,000 fol
lowers against the State government
of Louisiana.
Mr. Hamilton The Senator had
himself united in a report that there
had been no legal election in Louis
iana ; therefore there was no State
government in Louisiana to bo over
thrown. [Applause in the galleries.]
Mr. Sargent gave notice that if fur
ther disorder occurred in the galle
ries, lie seould move that they be
cleared.
The Chair said if the applause was
repeated, he should order the galle
ries to be cleared.
Mr. Hamilton resumed. He said re
bellion was one of the characteristics
of the American people. American
freedom was born in revolution and
rebellion, and the sympathies of tin*
American people were always with
those who rose against oppression
and tyranny. [Renewed applause
and hisses.]
Mr. Sargent moved that the galle
ries be cleared.
Considerable debate, on motion,
I was held, when the sergeant-at-arms

Judge Neil.son decided that the ju
ror should be excluded from the jury

Everett. Beecher’s counsel, that, the
whole proceeding was illegal and un
precedented. He asked the Court’s
authority for its action?
The Court said it was on a chal

Everett took exceptions.
Sherman also ejected, and.gave
three grounds for his objections.
The exceptions were noted,
Beecher’s lawyers are sure that
Neilson had committed an error that
is fatal to the ease in the event of a
verdict, against Beecher.
The witnesses were then called to
prove tin* incompetency of the third
juror, S. H. Lewis, whom Tiiton’s
lawyers also alleged to be a friend of \

The same objections were made by f
Beecher’s counsel, and again aver- j

Tin* l<:\|>nlloti of iln* Nlsti*r. of nutrify
Irani Mexico.
The news which comes to us from
Mexico, that, the Mexican Congress
has solemnly voted, to expel the Sis
ters of Charity from the territory of
tin* republic, is not a pleasant piece of
information in itself, nor is it likely
to enhance the reputation of the Mex
iean people on either side of the At
lantic. For the “daughters of St Vin
cent” are known and honored of all
men, of whatever creed, who are capa
ble of mp] >roeiating unselfish andt*vot ion
untiring benevolence, and that most
intelligible of all forms of the love of
God which expresses itself in loving
service to the poorest and most mise
erable of bis creatures. That, the
Legislature of a considerable civilized
country should deliberately refuse to
an association of Christian women
absolutely consecrated and set. apart
to the works of charity tin* right to
exercise their sacred vocation, may
well seem to other nations such it
istolidpie.ee of bigotry as is hardly re
concilable with any rational faith in
the future of such a country. It is
but simple just ice, therefore, to Me.\- j
ieo and the Mexicans, that so extra j
ordinary an act should not In* mis-j
represented nor tin* stops by which]
Mu* Mexican Congress reached it lost
sight of. On the 21st of May last four
members of the Mexican Congress
laid before that jbody a “projet of
constitutional reform.*’ The nine
teenth and twentieth articles
of this projet were aimed at*
the monastic orders in Mexico,
tin* first named article absolutely pro
hibiting tin* existence of such orders
in the republic, and the last named
article defining as “monastic orders
within the scope of article in all re
ligious societies the members of
which live under certain rules of
their own in fulfillment of temporary
or nermnnont vows and promisi s.
and under subjection to one or more
superiors; even if the members of
the order thus formed should have
different and separate dwelling pla
ces.” Of course under such an ar
ticle it would be impossible for such
a body as our American “Shakers,”
or as the Oneida Community, or as
the Mormons, to exist in Mexico, and
if the article was t< have* any virtue
or vitality, at all, those who proposed
tho “plan of reform” of which it is
a part were fatally bound to admit
that it concluded 'in its purview Mu*
benign and saint like women t" whom j
it. has finally, after a sharp debate,
been decided that.it. must apply. In
the course of this debate, run* or t wo
of the most distinguished men in
Mexico, and particularly Bouur Ra
fael Martinez do la Torre, the brilli
ant and accomplished Mexican law
yer who played so honorable apart in
the defence of the Emperor Maxim
ilian before the court-martial which
condemned tin' unhappy prince to j
death, pleaded the cause of the I
Sisters of Charity with rare and
touching eloquence. The simple
record of the life and work of t he Bis
ters in Mexico pleaded also for them,
and not less eloquently. Tin* order
of the Sisters of Charit y has been es
tablished now in Mexico for thirty
years. The number of Sisters
against, whom the hand of the gov
ernment has now been lifter! is 410,
of whom no fewer than :155 are native
daughters of Mexico. Of the others 20
are of French, 25 of Spanish, one, of
Irish birth. No fewer t han M chari
table establishments in different
parts of tiie republic are under their
charge, 28 of which have been found
ed and are supported through their
influence by private benevolence ex
clusively. In these establishments,
21,145 poor people are actually re
ceiving succor, medical care, and the
tender help which they hope lo find
nowhere else. To expel the Sisters
of Charity from Mexico, Into do e
these establishments, and to close
these establishments is to t hrow all
the sufferers now relieved iu them,
upon the casual charity of a country
in which neither charity nor any
other form of a modern social activi
ty can now be truly said to be organ
ized upon a scale or in a manner
wholly worthy of the present age.
These considerations were potent
enough to array fifty-seven votes in
behalf of the threatened Sisters,
against one hundred and thirteen
desperately logical Liberals, who re
fused to exempt them from the
sweeping prohibition enacted b> the |
now “project of reform” against all [
“monastic orders.” For when it is t
stated that tho new law ex pel sit In* i
Sisters from Mexico, it is only fair to j
be exact about its operation and to j
say that if attains this result not by :
directly and specifically ordering |
them or the nu mbers of any other
order to leave the Republic, ns the 1
Jesuits, for example, were recently j
ordered by tin* German Government,
to remove out of the empire, but by!
forbidding them to recognize the au
thority of their rules and their supe
riors, or wear in public their distinc
tive dross. Of course this amounts to
the same thing, so far as the Sisters
arc concerned. But it is not quite so
barbarous and pig-noadod a t iling so
far as the majority of the Mexican
Congress are concerned,— World.

are all for female virtue and chastity

and all that sort of tiling; and the
oilier night they thought it necessary
to burn, certain loose ladies out of
house and homo a moral method
which we are not surprised to learn
lias heretofore proved more savage
than satisfactory in Fairfield. But
in Kansas it is horses, with now and
then an exception like that which we
shall notice presently.
For our first story wo are under ob
ligations to the Lawrence newspa
pers. Ten miles from that, city, in
Clinton township a man bearing the
euphonious name of Barkaw was be
reaved of a set of harness. Suspect
ing a boy -one Bay -of stealing it, he
hired a quartet of ruffians to waylay
the lad and to deal with him inqulsi-!
toriu,lly. They met him about ton j
o’clock at night, drugged him from
Ids horse, smothered his cries in a
lilanket, carried him toward a neigh- j
boring timber and hung him to a
tree. Occasionally letting him down,
J hey would ask him where that pre
cious old harness was concealed ; and
j ffnally, unable longer to endure tile
j agony, the half-strangled boy told
! them that it was in the house of Mr.
j Many, which was a falsehood, for
j when they sought it there they did
not lind it. This rendering the in-
I quisitors still more crusty,*they re
turned to Bay and submitted him
• once more to t he ordeal of suspension.
This time lie wisely refused to make
his tormentors any reply. When
their prolonged brutality had nearly
murdered him, the savages became
convinced in their judicial minds that
I Buy was innocent, and with a stern
sense of justice which we cannot too
much admire, they denied themselves
Ike pleasure of quite breaking his
neck, and released him. This half-j
hanging seems to be a favorite ordeal I
in Ivans,-is ; and perhaps it is to be re
grafted that the (lode there provides!
no spell method of dealing with fel
ons like tills Barkaw and his four
hired apparitors.
Our next example has no horse in
j it, but concerns a couple of Harnes

QUEEN' lH.UIftlXA’s ABDICATION.
Th" Prince Asturias, in whose favor
Queen Isabella abdicated iu 18(i8, is
titithu'iy Asturias, Imt buptismally
Francisco Asturias do Assls Fernan
do. He was born November 28, 1857,
and at the time of tilts abdication was i
three years short of the age at which
Spanish royalty is supposed to attain
discretion. All tlio .Spaniards who
had remained faithful to the Queen
were summoned to appear at Basil
owsld Mansion, June 23, Ih7u. At
2:30 precisely, Isabella entered the
drawing room. She was attired ill
rose-colored silk covered with white,
inoo. Tiie Queen said she had resolv
ed to abdicate the throne and to make
known lmr reasons for doing so to all
Spaniards. Shu then unfolded a pa
nel' which she had and read her proc
lamation. hi it she gave a brief sum
mary of her reign, and reminded
Spaniards that she had boon sum
moned to reign over them when she
was scarcely more than a baby in the
cradle. She had grown up without
one hour’s time, amid the civil dis
cords which rent Spain asunder; she
hod oven in the cradle, even as a
young girl, still more as a woman,
been in a continual conflict witli po
litical parties or political factions
which fought for power, and, absorb
ed by these conflicts, she was made
impotent to do all the good to the
country she hud desired to do. Nev
ertheless, she forgave all those who
laid wronged her, and confided her
son to the nobility of tlie Spanish na
tion. The Queen fell weeping in her
mother’s arms. When she grew calm
! Alfonso stood in herplaee, and every
body in the room kissed his hand.
The royal family then resumed their
! plaees, Alfonso occupying the place
of honor. Tlio Queen then sent a
i telegram to the Pono announcing her
abdication, and asking him to bless
her son, his cause and Spain. -V. Y.

A man was seen coming out of a
j Texas newspaper office with one eye
! gouged out, Ids nose spread all over
j bis face like a piece of raw beef, and
one of his ears chawed off. To a po
liceman who interviewed him, lie re
plied: “X didn’t, like an article that
peered in the paper last week, an’ I
went in ter see the man who writ it.
He war there, stranger.

It is a strange coincidence that in
New Haven, Conn., tiro medical col
lege should be on the road to the
cemetery ; but it is stranger still that
tiie divinity college should be on the
roud to the alms house, and the law
school on Iho roud to jail.

“No kissing tin* girls in school

Never was there a State like Ken
tucky to throw away her natural ad
vantages. She raised a thousand tons
of hemp this year, and -sold it.

One of the oddest of sensations is
said to bo that of being lowered fif
teen hundred feet into a mine. The
great length of a cable allows aspring
of a font or more upon the slightest
movement in tin* basket, and W. J.
Florence, who has just had the expe
rience in Nevada, says it feels like
being a ball iat the end of a rubber
string.
