HABEAl CORPDI.
On motion of Mr. Clarke the bill to amend tht
not relating to tht lutbeat eoryut was taken up.
A number of amendments wero made.
Mr. Edmunda offered an amendment excepting
from the provisions of tht bill acts done In Statea
reptstnted in, Congress, and whert martial law did
not prevail.
Mr. Edmunds said that while ht waa willing to
Eroteot all officers of tht Government who acted
oneitiy In tbt discharge of their duties, bt did
not think It Juit to txtend a complete amneity for
acts dont in tht loyal Btates, and where martial
law did not prevail, lit did not think It right
that men who had been really wronged should be
debarred from seeking redress. In tbt time of
that king who was called the first gentleman of
Europe, and who was tht wise monarch, the Brit
lib Parliament had paised a law somewhat similar
to this, but tht British courts would not execute it1
Mr. Cowan aald bo was much struck with tbt
rtmarks of tht Etnator from Vermont, (Mr. Ed
munds. Wart they to throw the mantle of obliv
ion ovtr all aots done by military officers during
tht war, when It Is well known that many of these
acta wert Instigated by private mallet? It was no
merit to bs loyal In New Hampshire or Fenniyl
vanla, where, If a man waa disloyal, ht would very
likely bars beet suspended to a lamp-pott; but In
the couth It wai an evidence of stern virtue and
faerolo courage. Does this bill exempt any military
officer, who has committed a malicious and udJu ti
llable outrage, perbapa from private animosity,
from tht consequence! to which the law would sub.
ject him? If It doer., then this Senate of the Unl
ltd States waa the very last body on earth where
mob a proposition should ht entertained. He
would like to have this bill so framtd that no Inno
cent man shou'd bt prevented from obtaining re
dress, and no officer who bad acted Impartially and
Honestly In discharge of bis duty ibouU bt ha.
raised by suits In State courts
Because a rebellion bod existed In one part of
the country, that waa no reason why military odl
oera should OTerrldt all law In anolhtr part of tbt
country.
Mr. Clark hoped tht amendment would not bt
agreed to. It limited the provisions of the bill to
those Btates whert the Aaita$ corpus was impended,
and officers In other States who had obeyed tht
ordtrs of their superiors wert to take tbtlr chances
of olvll suits. The provisions of the bill ware then
explained by Mr. Clark. In ont single State, a
State whloh had never seceded, he had been told
that there were now pending over three thousand
salts agelmt loyal men who had assisted to put
down the rebellion. One of the courts of this same
State bad decided that an order issued by a loyal
officer was no bar to a iuit, and that ont from a
rebel officer waa.
Mr. John i on. Wbit authority hut you for tht
ptaUmantT
Mr. Clark. The authority of tht member of Con
crete from thst District, who was In tht eourt and
beard It, lit (Mr, 0. was larprlied that each a
proposition should comt from tbt Senator from
Vtrmont, Mr. Edmunds, bnt was not at all sur
firlsed that It should be endorsed by the Senator
rom Fcnnsylranla, (Mr. Cowan.
jar, jtamunat noptd tbt amendment wouia not
bt dishonored. If It waa good, btoanat of tht poor
ness of tht endorsement. Laughter.)
Mr. Cowan trusted his tndoritmtnt would not
Injure tht amtndment.
Mr. Nyt. What good will It do It f
Mr. Cowan. Tbt Senator from Nevada hal shown
that be thinks tt Is of soma good.
Mr. Nyt. Intveraskthtendorsementofanyont.
Mr. Clark aald that such propositions aa this had
not been In tht habit of coming from Vermont
Continuing his argument, soma sldt talk took
place bttwten htm and Mr. Cowan, In which eer
tain Latin phrases wert med.1
Tht Chair Mr. Pomaroy. Gentlemen will ad
dreia their remarks to the Chair.
Mr. Cowan. I wilt, when I don't Ulk Latin.
Mr. Clark resumed. His mantle of patriotism
wai sufficiently broad tocorerall loyal men from
responsibility for acta dont In pursuance of this
doty,
Mr. Conneia merely wished to say that when al
most universal amnesty waa extended to unrepent
ant rebels, ht thought It not unreasonable that
Jrottctlon should be extended to tht gallant de
sndera of tht country.
Mr. Edmunds laid that posilonatt legislation
always returned to plagut tbost wbo enacted It.
In our hasty taal to protect one class of tbt otm
mnnlty let na not Injure another class. Let us
proteot them by Indemnity, not by an arbitrary
edict. He was ai anxious as any one to protect
the loyal men of tht country, but did not think
any trne friend of our gallant soldiers would wish
inch a bill at this to pan.
Mr. Howard spoke briefly In support of tht bill,
and oppoied tbt amendment of Mr, Edmunds.
Without disposing of tht amendment tht Senate
went Into executive session, and on Its conclusion
adjourned.

Bureau from $2,000 to $3,500.
Mr. Rose, of Illinois, waa oppoied. to spending
tne money or a people already overburdened witn
taxes In any such Increase of salaries aa that pro
posed by this bill. There were In hli congressional
district an abundance of men fully competent to
fill luch offices as these, and wbo would be gtad to
get them at the salaries now allowed He hoped
th u the Increase would not be made.
Messrs. Benjamin, of Missouri, and Eggleiton,of
Ohio, urged the peculiar qualifications of the present
Commissioner of Pensions for the place which he
held, and said that the laborious character of the
duties which be waa obliged to perform called for
the Increase of compensation fixed In the bill.
Mr. Waihburne, of Illinois, admitted the emi
nent merits and qualifications of the Incumbent,
but waa altogether opposed to the Increase of the
salaries of public officers at this time.
Mr, Btsvens, of Pennsylvania, denied the cor

to a most excellent pen made by Mr. O. Barnard,
of London. It la called the Carbonised Metal Pen.
We hare seldom seen anything In the shape of
metal pens that we could write with on rough or

Barnard's make runs over the paper as easily oa we
could wtih, and comes nearer the old goose quill
than any we have xitl.JotirttaJ of Comjntrce.

from, was sentenced to be Imprisoned In the Albany
Penitentiary for three years.
Martin Welsh, Indicted with John Lambert and
Edward Msgee for robbing Robert Conway. Coun

charged on tbe ground that after the testimony on
tbe part of the prosecution had been closed, the
Court, on the motion of tbe District Attorney, dl
rected that one of tbe Jurors, on being called.
should decline to answer, and therefore eleven only
of the Jurors answering, the Court ordered the pan
el to be discharged, and the defendant be remanded
to custody until he give ball In the sum of $1,000
for his appearance to answer tbe charge.
The Juror was withdrawn on account of tbe aV
sence of the prosecuting wltneii.

argued that the accused had once been placed In
Jeopardy, and therefore oould not be tr.td sj-ln

PniLiDiLrsu, April 18 The grand Jury this
morning found a true bill against Antolne Probst
for the murder of the Dearlng family. The prisoner
waa brought Into eourt and arraigned at 1 o'clock,
p. m., after much legal delay. Tbe prisoner hav
ing no counsel, the Court assigned him Messrs.
John P. O'Neill and J C. Wolbert The prisoner
at first said he did not wish to have any counsel at
alt, bat subsequently withdrew his objections.
After a conversation with the prisoner, Mr. O'Neill
asked that the arraignment be postponed nntll he
and bis colleague oould be afforded time to examine
the bills of Indictment. It la understood that
Probst expressed a willingness to plead guilty to
charging him with the murder of Cornelius Corey,
Tbe District Attorney design, however, to try him
upon a bill charging him with tbe murder of Mr.
Bearing Thla will show the confidence of tbe
Commonwealth a officer In the strength of his case,
without availing himself of the pretended confei
ston of the murderer. From Information reoelred
from persons who belonged to the same regiment
and company aa Probst, It Is learned that he waa
a bounty Jumper, who bad entered the service aev
eral times and had received large bounties. Tbey
allege also that he shot his thumb off deliberately,
In order to gain his discharge. Among hla com-
radea hla character waa anythlog but enviable.

There Is a doctor la oar town,
A man of practice and reuowa ;
De makes a haadsome Income clear,
And lays np mousy every year.
Now, when he started oat la youth, ,
He had bat little cash la troth ;
But still he'd try hie best to do,
And make a aame aad money too.
He attended lectures, stndled hard,
And very quickly paaaed the board
lie opeoed office, bang ont sign.
Bat many patients coold oot Dad.
Etch day he sat, with saddened face,
For poverty came oa apace ;
At last a frlead gave him advice
Which cbaoged his fortune la a trlea.
Now patleats flocked from far and near,
And kept him busy all the year
Men and women, alt declare,
No doctor caa with him compare.
Tba secret of his great eaccess,
I'll tell yoa If yoa cannot guess j
The seme advice will help yoa all,
