. B9*Tbe Kn-Klnx bill, over which Con-gress has been so long exercised, was passediaR week by both Houses, and, having re-acted the signature of the President, is now

.a law. Under it the President is abrthorised'to tnterveoe and dee the military power ofthe Government whenever in hie opinion theStale authorities fell to administer the lawsproperly and effectively. He bee also thepower to suspend the habeas corpus in eny'ffietrict and et any time when, for soy pur-pose of hie own, be may think proper to al*lege that it is impracticable to execute thelaws in any other mode. This faw is un-doubtedly the most flagrant usurpation yetassumed by the Radical Coograas, and is arapid stride towards centralization and thetotal subjugation of Slate to Federal authori-ty. It embraces the whole category of of-fences named in the statute book if a "con-spiracy” of two or more can be proved, eitherby direct proof or implication. In fact, thejuriadietion of the State Courts is taken awayand transferred to the Federal tribunals. In-deed, it is, at this time, almost impossible toforesee, what encroachments upon the reserv-ed rights of the States may not be authorisedunder this act—and what is the key-note to

.all tbia legislation f Simply to ensure the per-petuation of the Radical party—to secure thePresidential election in 1872. Framed osten-

THE PORT TOBACCO TIMES AND CHARLES COUNTY ADVERTISER, FRIDAY, APRIL 28. 1871.From Francos

The official .Circular issued by President“ .Thiere explains that during the past few days

the comparative lull in operations against- Paris baa been caused by the concentration of~

troops and the employment of the army ini engineering work. The veterans who consti-

r tuted tbe Imperial army of Bazaine, and have

a recently returned from German prisons, are

.

being formed info new corps, and are to be.

commanded by Generals Donai and Chicaut.a Tuesday the besieging batteries on the south-I) weed of Paris opened a heavy fire on the in-. anrgents in Forts DTssy and Vanvres, and on

r lbs ramparts at tbe Punt du Jour. The Ger-

-3 mans have partially evacuated the left bank

a of the Seine, and the Communists hurried to. take possession of tbe abandoned forts, but

a Ihe Germans quickly returned and drove them, out. A cessation of hostilities has commenc-

ed at Neuiiiy, for the purpose of allowing thecitizens to remove from the vicinity of whatwill probably be tbe ground of tbe hardest

. fighting when tbe great attack, announced byThiers to be impending, is begun. In the

f rural provinces there ia aaid to be a strong

I feeling in favor of tbe restoration of Napoleon,

f and in tbe Assembly a number of Deputies( art known to desire tbe election of tbe Duke

( D’Aumale to tbe Presidency of the Republic., The Northern Railway of France, tbe last

f route by which supplies were being sent intoParis, is now officially announced to be effect-ually closed, and no further transmission of

( provisions into tbe city can be made. Thiscompletes tbe blockade of Paris, and leaves

. the surrender of tbe Communists only a mat-

k ter of time, even if the Versailles army does

( nothing more than sit down before it and sealnp all tbe approaches.

Baltimore aad Pot#mao Railroad.We learn from the American that tbe work

f on tbe tunnel, which is to run under tbe city, of Baltimore, will be commenced the last of

this week or the first of next. The contract

for tbe entire work has been awarded to Mr.Thomas Rotter, of New York. Tbe workwill be commenced in several places at tbesame time, which will insure Its early com-

pletion.Tbe work of laying the rails on the road

has already commenced at its intersection oftbe Annapolis and Elk Ridge Railroad, andin a few daya sufficient force will be employ-ed to lay tbe track at tbe rate of a mile a day.Tbe rails will be laid at tbe same time on thebranch road to Washington and on the mainstem through Anne Arundel, Prince George’sand Charles counties.

A writer in the Washington Capital, giv-ing a sketch of tbe road, nays:

"The Baltimore and Potomac road is so onlyin'name; it is really the southern extensionof the Pennsylvania railroad,' which quitsBferrisbnrg, the capital of Pennsylvania, anddescends, by a line generally southward, tothe city of Baltimore.. It then evades thatcity by a aeries of tunnels, bridges, and ents,to the westward, and by-a route about thirty-eight miles in length runs south and south-westward to Washington city, where it crossestbe Eastern Branch upon a bridge eleven hun-dred feet in length, and passes through a tun-nel, in the region of tbe Washington NavyYard, sixteen hundred feet long, and thenpasses pp Virginia Avenue and Sixth street,where is to be the Washington railroad sta-tion ; tbe railway then passes out to tbe LongBridge, where several hundred men are nowat Work patting down stone piers of a dura-ble description,—and going due southward toAlexandria tbe road passes three or four milesout on the track of the Orange and Alexan-dria road, and then goes southward, crossingthe Oecoqnao river by a superb pier bridge,pairing south of Brentsville, or between thatold court bouse town and Dumfries, and socontinuing on to Fredericksburg.”

On tbe opposite side of tbe river "the sameroad passes through a very noble region,touching tbe hamlet of Colliogton, about fif-teen miles from Annapolis, and descending

1 Colliogton branch of tbe Patuxent river onthe right side to Upper Marlboro’, where thereis a station. South of Marlboro’ tbe road de-scends into a wonderful marl region in tbeneighborhood of Charles branch. Tbe roadthence runs between the hamlets of Brandy-wine and Tee-Bee, passes near Beantown and

’ keeps on tbe right of tbe Tobacco river until’ it reaches tbe Potomac, nearly opposite Mat-. tbias Point. Here there is to be a ferry and, another road on tbe south side of tbe Poto-

! mao in Virginia, which will run down to the1 Pamuoky river, and be tbe cheap line be-

f tween tbe North and tbe South. While tbe. main fast line wri) pass through Washington,

, cross tbe Long Bridge and descend to Freder-icksburg and Richmond, the cheap line will

’ pass King George Court House, Port Royaland Bowling Green."

Our Washington Correspondence.

Washington, D. C., April 24,1871.It is pretty hard to determine just now

, with regard to the rumored changes in theCabinet. The system adopted by the Grantadministration of saying one thing and mean-

ing another, is very embarrassing to news

gatherers and interviewers, because "they are

so given to lying," they strike the troth only

by accident. A few days ago a prominentpublic man interviewed Gen. Grant and in-quired if there was any truth in the rumor,that Boutwell was about to retire from tbe

Treasury Department. Grant answered that

so far as he knew there was no change inten-

ded and he did not desire bis resignation.—

Grant is well tutored in his replies; bis ac-

tions however prove that be does want himout, but he iutends that it shall appear to thecountry to be voluntary on tbe part of Bout-well. Correspondents and editors, in tbeGrant interest, insist that if Boutwell does goout that it will not be at tbe desire of thePresident. Tbe Administration organs "dothprotest to much.” Even the Cabinet officersdeny it tbusly: "The reported Cabinetchanges are without foundation, and a Cabi-net officer states that Secretary Fish has beendesiring to retire from the Cabinet fur sometime past, and will probably do so after theadjournment of the Joint High Commission.”This is rather an ambiguous giving out; whoshall translate it ? In one paragraph he de-nies the rumored changes and at tbe sametime admits tbe withdrawal ofSecretary Fish,who certainly is a member of tbe Cabinet.—This Cabinet officer should not adopt the Sew-ard system but follow Grants, that of a boldplumper and be dune with it, and let the re-

sponsibility rest upon the circumstances whichmade it necessary; this is Grant’s diplomacyand statesmanship. If not honorable it is atleast bold.

Thjs Joint High Commission have so faragreea upon the basis of a treaty as to inducetbe President to call an extra session of theSenate May 10th, expecting the most satisfac-tory results from their labors. That theEnglish ’alfof tbe Commission feel that theirwork is nearly at an end is indicated by tbeEarl De Grey giving a sort of farewell enter-tainment at the quarters of tbe Commissionon Saturday. The party, reception or fete,which ever it may be termed, as it was acombination of all three, was one of the mostbrilliant and magnificent affairs of the kindever given in America, both from the gran-deur of the entertainment and the display ofelegant toillettes made by the guests. OurEnglish cousins have been wined and dined,and they in return have wined and dined oursovereigns in a style at which tbe much-criti-cized feeds, which Bevcrdy Johnson partici-pated in while Minister to Eogland, scarcelywilladmit of comparison, I trust we shallget better terms than Were offered BeverdyJohnson, but I am inclined very much to theopinion that any advantages which we mayget will fall to tbe share of tbe "littleOlivers”of New England.

The American Photolithographic Companyhave received the contract for furnishing theengravings of tbe mechanical portion of tbePatent Office report. The work will cost$184,000. Horace Greeley, the weakest ofshe weak, is fearfully demoralized with re-gard to Grant’s renomination. Horace isPresident of tbe above company; has thisaward been intended to strike Horace in oneof bis numerous weak spots? If that isGrant’s dodge let him get the next Congressto vote an appropriation to supply the Agri-cultural Colleges of tbe country with Greeley’sbook, “What Iknow about farming,” and hewill secure tbe Tribune beyond doubt for hisrenomination. A carping critic, evidentlyjealous of Greeley's knowledge of beets andcabbages, says, “that tbe country will not re-cover in twenty years from the bad effects ofGreeley’s trash on tbe subject of farming.”Poor Horace is not only hen-pecked but heis pen-pecked. Gentlemen, please do let up.

Tbe Governor of Arizona is here and hasreceived a telegram calling him home andasking for additional troops, as tbe Indiansare threatening an attack. General Shermanvery coolly tells him that as Congress has re-duced the army be cannot send troops, butwill be forced to withdraw more from thefrontier to send South. Sherman stronglyopposed the reduction of the army and is nowonly too glad of a chance to reflect on Con-gress for its action. Rome bad its Nero.Onr country has its Grant. The former ex-hibited his delight at the distress of bis peo-ple by fiddling while Rome was burning. Inemulation of bis prototype, what instrumentwill the latter play while bis soldiers are inthe South carrying ont his political conspira-cy and tbe real Ku-Elux—tbe Indians—areburning tbe homes and butchering the fron-tier settlers, men, women and children ?

When tbe history of tbe next eighteen monthsis added to that of tbe past two years tbe his-torian, in justice to Nero, will not dare couplehis name with that of Grant, so odious willtbe latter have become. A sad prophecy,but it will come to pass, though be will failof accomplishing bis ambitious designs.

Tbe Radicals who prated so loud aboutwhat they could do in Congress for the Dis-trict in case they elected their candidate,which they did by tbe most outrageous frauds,ere now alarmed at tbe remarks ofsome Dem-ocratic members who have determined to treat

all measures for tbe benefit of tbe District ofColumbia as party measures, and oppose themas such, and with tbe Capital movers, theycan defeat any appropriation. This wit! bedone to rebuke fraud and to teach tbe Radi-cals that “Honesty is the best policy”after all.

Address of the Democratic Members <

. Congress.7b ihe People of the United States :

Our presence and official duties at Waalington have enabled us to become fully aiquainted with the actions and desires of thoiwho control the Radical party, and we feicalled upon to utter a few words of warniragainst the alarming strides they have maitowards centralization of power in the hamofCongress and the Executive. Tbe time anattention of the Radical leaders have been a

most wholly directed to devising such leg!iation as will, io their view, best presentheir ascendency, and no regard for the wiirestraints imposed by the Constitution hichecked their reckless and desperate careeThe President of the United States has beeformally announced as a candidate for re-eloition. The declaration ol his selfish supporers have been re-echoed by a subsidized presand the discipline of party has already macadhesion to his personal fortunes the supreutest of political fealty. The partisan legUhtion to which we refer was decreed and sha;ed in secret caucus where the extremes! comsets always dominated and was adopted bysubservient majority, if nut with the intencertainly with the effect to place in the hamof the President power to command his owre-nomination, and to employ the army, navand militia at his sole discretion as a meaiofsubserving hie personal ambition. Whethe sad experience of tbe last two years, idisappointing to the hopes and generous cot

fidence of tbe country, is considered, in coi

nection with the violent utterances and ra*

purposes of those who control the Presidentpolicy, it is not surprising that the graveapprehension for the future peace of the mtion should be entertained. At a time whelabor is depressed and every material iutcreiis palsied by oppressive taxation, the puhloffices have been multiplied beyond all pncedent to serve as instruments in the perpeuation of power. Partizansbip is the only tei

applied to tbe distribution of this vast patrolage. Honesty, fitness and moral worth ai

openly discarded io favor of truckling snlmission and dishonorable compliance. Hemenormous defalcatious and wide-spread c<>i

ruption have followed as the natural constqueoce ut this pernicious system.

By the official report of tbe Secretary of tliTreasury it appeals that after the deductioof all proper credits many millions of dollarremain due from ex-Collectors of the InternsRevenue, and that no proper diligence haever been used to collect them. Reforms ithe revenue and fiscal systems, which all experience demonstrates to be necessary tofrugal administration of the Government, awell as a measure of relief to an over-burdened people, have been persistently postponeor willfully neglected. Congress now adjourns without having even attempted to rcdace taxation or to repeal the glaring impcsitions by which industry is crushed and impoverished. The Treasury is overflowing, aexcess of eighty millions of revenue is admitted, and yet instead of some measure of preseat relief, a barren and delusive resolution ipassed by the Senate to consider the tariffanexcise systems hereafter, as if the history r.

broken pledges and pretended remedies furnished any better assurance for future legislation than experience has done in the past.-Sbipbuilding and the carrying trade, onesources of national pride and prosperity, not

languish under a-crushing load of taxatiorand nearly every- other business interest istruggling without profit to maintain itself.-Our agriculturists, while paying heavy taxefor what they consume, either to the Government or to monopolists, find the prices fntheir own products so reduced that honest la

bor is denied its just reward, and industry iprostrated by invidious discrimination. Nearly 200,000,000 acres of public lands, whicshould have been reserved fur tbe benefit c

tbe people, have been voted away to giancorporations, neglecting our soldiers and enriebing a handful of greedy speculators amlobbyists, who are thereby enabled to exercise a most dangerous and corrupting influence over Slate and Federal legislation. •!

the career of these conspirators he not checked the downfall of free government is inevitable, and with it' the elevation of a militardictator on tbe ruins of the Republic.

Under the pretence of passing laws to enforce tbe Fourteenth Amendment, and fnother purposes, Congress has conferred thmost despotic power upon the Executive, anprovided an official machinery by which thliberties of the people are menaced, and thsacred right of local self-government in thStates is ignored, if not totally overthrowrModelled upon to the sedition laws, so odiouin history, they are at variance with all thsanctified theories of our institutions, and thconstruction given by these Radical interpreters of the Fourteenth Amendment is, to usthe language of an eminent Senator, MiTrumbull, of Illinois, au “annihilation of thStates.” Under the last enforcement bi“the Executive may, in his discretion, thru*aside the Government of any State, suspenthe writ of habeas corpus'’ arn-st its Governor, imprison or disperse the Legislature, silencits Judges, and trample dowu its people under the armed heel of his troops. Nothing ileft to the citizen or State which can anlonger be called alright—all is changed intmere sufferance. ?

Our hopes for redress are in the calm goosense, the "sober second thought” of thAmerican people. We call upon them to htrue to themselvert and to their posterity, amdisregarding party names and minor difleiences, to insist upon a decentralization <power and the restriction of Federal authoritwithin its just and proper limits, leaving tthe States that control over domestic affaiiwhich is essential to their happiness and tracquility and good government.

Everything that malicious ingenuity conisuggest has beeti done to irritate the people tthe Middle and Southern States. Gr <ss anexaggerated charges of dis >rder owe their "r

gin to the mischievous minds of potenihmanagers in the Senate and House of Reprtsentatives, to which the Executive has, we rcgret to say, lent his aid, and thus helped tinflame the popular feeling. In all this courtof hostile legislation and harsh treatment, n

word of conciliation, of kind encouragemenor fraternal friendship has ever been spokeby the President or by Congress to tne peoplot the Southern States. They have been addressed only in the language of proscriptioi

We earnestly entreat our fellow-citizens iall parts of the Union t< spare no effort tmaintain peace and order, to carefully protecthe rights of every citizen, to preserve kindlrelations among all men, and to discountcnance and discourage any violation of th

rights of any portion of the people secureunder the Constitution, or any of its amendments. -•-¦¦¦

Let us, in conclusion, earnestly beg of yonot to aid the present attempts of Radical paitisans to stir up.strife io the land, to reomtbe issues of war; or to obstruct the teturo <

ot peace and prosperity to the Southern States,because it is thus that they seek to divide theattention of the country from the corruption

ih- and extravagance in their administration ofic- public affairs, and the dangerous and profli-jse gate attempts they are making towards thesel creation of a centralized military Government,ng In tbe five years of peace following the waride the Radical Administrations have expendedids $1,200,000,000 for ordinary expenses alone,nd being within $200,000,000 of the apgregateal- amount spent for the same purposes, in war

is- and in peace, during the seventy-nns years•ve preceding June 30, 1861 —not including, inise either case, the sum paid upon principal or

las interest of the public debt,er. It is trifling with the intelligence of the peo-ien pie for the Radical leaders to pretend that this3C* vast sum has been honestly expended. Hun-rt- dreds of millions of it have been wantonlyss, squandered. The expenditures of the Gov-de ernment for the fiscal year ending June 30,ue 1861, were only $62,000,000, while for pre-la- cisely the same purposes —civil list, army, n.i-

-- vy, pension and Indians—sl64,ooo,ooo weren- expended duringHhe fiscal year ending June

1 a 30th, 1870.at. No indignation can be too stern and nod* scorn too severe for the assertions by unscru-vn lons Radical leaders that the great Democraticvy party of the Union has or can have sympa-ns thy with disorders or violence in any part ofen the country, or in the deprivation of any manso of his rights under the Constitution. It is tom- protect and perpetuate the rights which everym- freeman cherishes, t > revive in all hearts the,sh feelings of friendship, affection and harmonyt’s which are the best guarantees of law and or-est der, and to throw around the hum blest citi-ia- Zen, wherever he may be, the protectingen of those safeguards of personal liberty whichsst the fundamental laws of the land assure, thatlie we invoke the aid of all good men in there- work of peace and reconciliation. We inviteu- generous co-operation, irrespective of all for-est mer differences of opinion, so that the harsha- voice of discord may be silenced ; that a newire and dangerous sectional agitation may beb- checked; that the burdens of taxation, directice and indirect, may be reduced to the lowest,r- point consistent with good faith to every justle- national obligation, and with a strictly econ-

omical administration of the Government,]]e and that the States may be restored in their

integrity and true relation to our Federalirs Uuion.

Damages for Injury on Public Roads.

j„ The Prince Georgian furnishes the follow-x- ing notice of tbe case of Gibsou vs. County

Commissioners of Calvert County. This caseas was removed to Prince George’s at the in-

ecj stance of the plaintiff and tried at tbe lated. term of the Circuit Court:e- This was an action to recover pay from thato- county for injury to a wagon and buggy ofn- the plaintiff, which were broken in travellingan over the public roads. The plaintiff havingit- made no claim for exemplary damages in hisss- declaration, the Court ruled out all evidenceis upon this point, and instructed the jury thatid the defendants were responsible for damagesof of this character unless they ensued from then- lack of due care and dilligence by the plain-a- tiff’. The defendants contended that they

were not responsible for such damages, andce that the plaintiff had not exercised due cau->w tion to avoid the accidents, this road beingn, notoriously in a bad condition, and anotheris road, in’ better order t nearly as convenient to

him. The Court, however, ruled that the fact,es if sustained, would not exonerate the Com-n- missioners from responsibility, tbe plaintiflor being entitled to use either road in hisdiscre-a- tion, and instructed the jury that if they foundis that otherwise tke plaintiff had used due care,r- then be was entitled to recover, and the jury,ch after a short deliberation, brought in a ver-of diet for the plaintiff for $l6O. This is anut important question, and will probably be re-n- viewed by the county officers.id *

r- Tbe Confederate Dead at Gettysburg.u * The Richmond Enquirer says :

k We yesterday called on one of the ladies*

conspicuously active in aid of the HollywoodMemorial Association, and learned from herthat their memorial day falls on the 81st ofMay, and, although there will be no address,

n ' the services promise this year to be unusually<>r interesting.

The ground and walks of that portion ofthe Confederate cemetery at Hollywood allot-

'ie ted to the dead to be removed from Getlys-burg, will be all finished next week, and thework of removal will commence very soon

n * thereafter. The Legislature appropriated sl,-us 000 in aid of this patriotic movement, and theh® ladies ha ve obtained $3,000 from other sources.

' ,e They hope, before it is needed, to increase this®' fund considerably. There are 8.000 Confed--86 crates buried at Gettysburg, the graves of 600

of whom are marked, the remaining 2,400being designated as “unknown.”

The State appropriation will he devotedlst first to the removal of the Virginians whose

graves are marked, and neit, to the removaln* of ail who fell on that part of the field wherec® Pickett’s men fought so heroically; the pre-

sumption being that these are all Virginians.,s After this the remainder of the dead from ail¦y the Southern States will be as rapidly re-to moved as circumstances will permit; the in-

tention of the ladies being that there shall be

no delay until the whole work has been fullyh® accomplished.be ... ¦ ¦ ¦id, Bear In Mind.:T~ When disease has undermined the health, and’’

tbe physical system has become prostrated, astimulant that will not only strengthen, but re-

jrß move the cause, should be immediately resorted

Q.to. Mental distress is also a fruitful source oftbe breaking down of the constitution, and theravages of the enemy to health are truly alarm-

Id ing. For all such maladies Uostetter’s Stom-of ach Bitters have been found unsurpassed. Bynd acting directly upon the digestive organs, theyri- remove the heavy disagreeable feeling after eat-ial 80 often complained of by persons ofa del-

e_icate temperament.. As soon as digestion is

, restored, the patient finds his strength increas-e"ing, and his general health improved.

to Thousands of persons certify that it may be’B® relied on in all cases of weakness or nervousno debility attendant upon sedentary habits. Thent generality of Bitters are so disagreeable to theen taste that they are objectionable to a weaklie stomach. This is not the case with Hostetler’sj. Bitters, which will be found mild and extreme-|Q ly pleasant. Balsamic plants, barks and roots.

Its basis is theto only pure stimulant which has ever been pre-set duced, containing no fusil oil, or any other de-tly leterous element. The most careful and skill-;e- ful chemists have analyzed the Bitters, and pro-jle nounce them harmless. This is scientific testi-e(j mony; but the testimony of the hundreds of. thousands who have experienced the preventivea"

and curative effects of the Vegetable Tonicand' Alterative of modern times is still more

ou conclusive. In Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia,if- Biliousness, Nervous Complaints, ChronicCom-sw plaints and general debility it is as nearly in-of- fallibleas anything in this fallible world cetl be.
