Dexter—His Last Appearance, The Chicago Republican, of September 11, enye: Yesterday afternoon the celebrated trotting horse Dexter made his last appearance in puo- lic at 'be ter Driving Park, near this city According to the original programme, the trot of the gelding on Saturday fast was to have been the jast public trial of bis powers, but a: the solicttation of tbe committee appointed by the organization intended to raice funds for the tenefit of the widows and orphans of sol- diers, Mr. Fawesett generously consented to allow the exbibition of his horse yesterday. Lite or no betting ‘was transacted, for the simple reason that there was little or nothing to bet about. The sporting fraternity was not well represented, but as a change from the or- dinary run of things, the tamiliar faces of many of our most prominent citizens, accom- panied by their wives ana daughters, were visible in'the large enclosure that lies within the track. There were not many people in the grand stand, most of the ladies and gentlemen preeent preferring te remain in their own car- risges. ‘The history of this famous horse is not with- outa touch of romance, and a’ a time like the present, when he is disappraring from the turf, this history is the more iuteresting. He retires to the private stables of the aristocratic Bon- ner. with a record unequalled—the King of the Turt. Dexter's dam wus a small mare, tour- teen and a half bands high. with three white feet, a sar and snip, and bip-shotten. She was JIusculer, with an uncommonly fine shoulder and barrel. She was a geod roadster, but had nothing particularly noticeable about her. Dexter is fifteen hande one inch and a half bigh, and was nine years old last spring. In color he is a rich glossy brown: blaze faced, with tour white feet, the white running well up the legs. His head. though somewhat large, is clean and bony: lower jaw well open at the base, leaying plenty of room for the windpipe: ears tapering and lively; eyes bright and prominent; head well set on to a atber light neck, which 1s well fitted to fine joping should withers high, with great depth of brisket and good barrel: back slightly arched, with broad tom and hips, and adroep- ing rump: uncommonly long from point of the bip to hock! short cannon bone: mane and tail sufficiently full to develop his Hambietonian origin.

Further ef the Revolut The Power te Declare a Law Unc: tlenal Claimed by the President. We maxe the following extracts from the ‘Washington despaiches published in yester- day's New York Heraid. As the correspon- dent assumes to state authoratively the Pres- dent s views and intentions, Bis assertions may be considered as paving some significance: The tact is, there is a fierce political storm brewing. Ail the indicatioms point that way, and show that the strife between the President and Uongreas, which bas been growing and increasing daily, must soon burst ont into something more eetious tXan mere wordy clashes, something worse than threats and vi- tuperation. * * © © #& & WHAT THE PRESIDENT WILL DO IF INPRACHED. Tam reliably informed that he will regard the action ot Congress as revolationary. The Radicais having abandoned the idea of trying bim for high crimes and misdemeanors, and justitying bis impeachment merely on the ground that he is, in the language of Batler. an “impediment” to reconstruction, he wili not recognize their proceeaings as legal or con- stitutional, and will pay no respect te their re- solves and determinations. Should articies ot impeachment be presented and a resolution passed suspending Mr. Johnson and prohubit- ing Dim from exercising the 1unctions of President; should Wade be chosen to act as ae President ad interim, and, armed with this color of rightand law, command Jonnson ta vacate the White House and turn over to him all the property, papers, &c., pertaining to the executive office, 1 have Teason io believe that Mr. Johnson will decline, and dety Congress to do its worst. The Presiden:'s view of the matter is said to be this: Each ofthe three great branches of the Government is for itself the judge ef the constitutionality of a law. Con- grees, in the first place, isa jmige. It passes a law according to ccnstitutional forms by the Tequisite majority over the Presddent’s veto. According tothe Constitution, itcan only legis. late on certain subjects. Well. the law ig passed, and .t comes to the President for exe- ention. He is sworn to faiinfully execute bis office, and ‘to preserye, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United Stas." Who is todetermine for him whether the law passed by Congress does uot conflict win the Consti- tution he is sworn to detend? If be considers it clearly in violation of the Constitution, is he not under the most soleimo obligation to refuse to enforce it? _Itis contended by some that the more usual mo¢e is for the President to assume a law constitutional until otherwise deciared by the Supreme Court. This the President considers only applicable to doubtful cases; but where the conilict with the Constitution 18 clear and undoubiea, the President considers it his duty to decline its enforcement alto- gerber. Applying this to impeachment, the follewing is the recnit: Congress passes articles cof impeachment, suspends the President, and orders bis arrest. The alleged offence is that he retuses toenforce the laws which be hon- estly believes to be in antagonism with the Constitution. IMPRACHMENT FOR POLITICAL OFFENCE REVO- LUTION. He takes one view of the law, Congress an- other. He holds that be can only be removed wn “conviction of treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors.” He holds thata mere difference of opinion as to the con- stimtionality of the law between bimself and Congress is neither treason, briberv, nor other high crime or misaemeadcr. He holds, there- fore, that be cannot be impeached, suspended, or removed from office. HE WILL PROROGUE CONGRESS. Congress tnsists be can. Then, he considers, Congress places itself in an attitude of revola- lution. It thus violates the Constitution by attempting '0 usurp the executive power, and must be put down. How will this be done! The President acting for the best interests of the country, and deeming the eatety of the Republic in danger, will issue a prociamation proroguing Congress, calling for an election of new members, and invoking the aid of the People to sustain him. This, 1 am assured, is the view the President takes of the impeach- ment muddle, und the way he will act should the occasion arise. Under the Constitution the President has the power to prorogue Congrees only in case of disagreement to adjourn. But in a great pub- lic emergency, where the life ot the nation is at stake, tbe President considers the exercise of extraordinary powers justitiahle. More- over, Congress. by assuming unconstitutional powers and attempting to destroy the Execu- lve, disqualifies itself, is no longer a lawful Congress, but a body of usurpers and traitors. As such they bave no rights tne Executive is bound to respect, and the Executive will deal with them accordingly. The President's theo- ry is that they first inaugurate revolution by attempting an act subversive ef the Govern- ment, and upon them will resi the responsi- bility of avy strife or confusion that may tol- Jow. THE AMNESTY PROCLAMATION — REGISTRA- TION TO BE REOPEN Tbe amnesty prociamation was not intended as a mese political dodge to catch the popular favor and enlist Southern sympathy more strongly in bebalf of the Jobusonian policy. The President does not intend that it shall be & mere useless State paper of fine phrases but empty effects. He designs it shall work to the advantage of the Southern Whites by pardon- ing a large claes—the most intelligent, wealthy and socially ipflaential—and restoring to them their civil ‘rights, mcluding that of sutfrage. It is said he has no power to grant sutfrage to the pardoned rebels excluded by the recon- struction acts. He claims he bas, aud I have good authority for stating, notwithstanding femi-official contradictions, that the ume is not far distan: when he will euforce bis views by ordering the reopening of registration, and causing new instructions to be issued to the military comraanders, in accordance with these views ANOTHER PROCLAMATION TO BE ISSUED. Corroboratiye of the general purport of the above, is the following from the Washington correspondent of the Charteston Courier, who ie supposed to be in the confidence of the President: It is also asserted that another proclamation, tollewing up that of September 3, will be is- sued, applying the principles herein asserted to some very :mportant subjects. i ‘That proclamation asseris the Executive power in the broadest terms, and next we are to know what the President will do with it. Of course it did not require al! this parade of constitutional prerogative for the mere pur- ose of cepsuring General Sickles’ alleged Bingrance of a process trom the United States Circuit Court of North Carolina. The President has been often advised and urged by the peace Democrats, (s0-called,) or « Gopperheads,” as cailed in the Radical slang, to perform some grand coup d'etat, by which the people would be at once awe-struck and delghted, and thus save bimeelf from the dis- grace of causeless impeachment and removal, ‘without resistance. 1t was even suggested tbat he would disperse this Fortieth Congress last July.

A Child the Victim. The Philadelphia Gazette contains ihe fol- lowing accountof a singular case of poisoning in that city: At No. 1310 Hutchinson street live Launce- lot Richards and his wife. They are plain, industrious people, who devote themselves mainly to the care ef a bright little daughter four years old, by nam nie. At No. i314 in the same street lives two spi sters, somewhere about fifty years of age, call- ed Rachel and Polly Jones, and a brother, somewhat their junior, Aaron Jones. Tb knew the child Annie, who used to often play on the eidewalk in front of the door. The child seems not to have been wisely brought up. while the Jones women appear to bave been somewhat peevish and fauit-find- ing. On ceveral occasions, when they have reproved the cbild for haunting their doo: seps, she retaliated by calling them “old maide,” with o:her provoking lauguage. They ‘were subsequently heard, itis alleged, to de- clare, when speaking to others of the child, that “they would fix her,” and that her infan- tile derision should not much longer be ex- erci-ed at their expense. The mother was therefore surprised at a sudden change in their conduct towards the chila. They now became a8 affectionate to her as they were before in- imical. The child was forbidden to go near their house, but Polly and Rachel, it is alleg- ed, threw to her morsels of cake, peaches, and little dainties of various kinds, over the fence separating their premises. Airs. Richards seems to have had some vague presentiment of evel from the Joneses, for she cautioned the child against eating anything which they gave her. On the morning of Angust isth, when a glowing ripe peach was an exceeding rarity, ‘while the child was alone in the yard, @ speci- men ot that fruit was tossed to her from tbe Joneses’ window. Little Annie eagerly seized tbe tempting tlabi!, and bad eaten half of it when Mre. Richards saw her. The remaining portion of the fruit was thrown away, and the cbiid driven into the house. Soon afterwards she was taken with a fright- ful ill 8, manitesting all the symptoms at- tendant upon the administration of coirosive poison. Medical aid was summoned, but di pite all antidotes, the child died in convul- sions after very brief but terrible suffering. ‘she Coroner has spent the entire interval be- tween that time and yesterday in making ex- amination into the case. Nothing was pub- lished concerning it until a tull prima facie cose hed been made ont. But an analysis of the child's stomach shows that her deaih was the result of porson. Upon a warrant by the Coroner, the Joneses were arrested yesterday morning. The trio were taken to the Central Station, where they had a bearing in the afternoon The interim was spent by themin @ cell. What we have above detailed was deposed by the various witnesses. The case was not concluded, be- cause of the unayoidable absence on the sick hed of the expert by whom the stomach of the chiid was chemically manipulated. The case was then adjourned and the prisoners remand- ed. When they were made to understand that they were committed, but rather triumphant- ly pointed to an individual present whom they said could enter bail in a hundred thoa- sand dollars, ifso much wererequired When the Coroner told them that the law denied him ibe power of taking bail under circumstances like theirs, tbeir consternation was expreesed 11 a manner which beggars description. From pallid white to purple, and from pur- ple to pallid white, their faces changed in col- or.

The other would have prostrated her- self before tbe coroner in @ piteeus appeal for lemercy but that the bystanders interposed to raise ber. 1tis not supposed that the brother of these women participated in the affair, but the Coroner bas deemed it wise to detain them all until his investigation has closed. Tbe Bulletin gives a very interesting account of the case and a report cf the coroner's in- quest from which we make the following ex- tracts: Annie E. Richards, aged four years, and a daughter of Launcelot Richards, residing at No. 1,310 Hutchinson street, died suddenly, under peculiar circumstances, on the ith of August Jast| Itis alleged that certain neigh. bers of the Richards bad frequently threal ened them in consequence of quarrels, and but a day before the death of Annie, the child came to ber father and said, + says she is going to kill mamma; what does she mean!” The family could not give any expisnation, but they noticed that for several days cakes bad been thrown into the yard, but as they had invariably been taken and thrown into the sireer, no harm occurred. On the isth of August, Aunie found a peach in the yard and took two bites of it. She was immediately taken sick, and in five hours war dead. A postmortem by Dr. Anderson and Dr. fay lor G'sclosed the fact that there was strychnine in the stomach. Upon this the parti’s accused were arrested, and a jury summoned by the Coroner to investigate the case. ‘The inquest was held this morning. Anson Richards testified: On the 1(th ot August his little ‘girl ran up to him andsaid: «Pappy, Rachel Jones says she is going to fix me pret. ty soon ;” she stopped then for a moment, and then said: * Does she mean to take mamma away from me !” 1 replied, ‘No, my pet, she can’t take mamma away from you ;” she said, “1 cannot do without my mamma, pappy ; that was all she said: cakes and fra thrown from Jones’ yard into my yard; one time @ cake came over the fence, and I recog- nized Polly oy her saying ‘+ there is a cake for you ;” don’t know anything about a peach being thrown over: my child was sick trom three to five hours; did not hear of her eating anytbing that morning: didn’t know what to altribute her sickness to; 1 was in the habitof taking ber out in the evening, to get her an airing; I was taking ber a walk around the square; she was taken sick in the street; I observed a lagging inthe walk: 1 thought it was her notion—that she was playing; says I. “Annie, what is the matter with you!” she said, “I feel queer.” and put her hands up over ber head; I told her to put her hands down; from that out she began to get worse ; the neighbors around 10th street took notice of it: at 10th and Thompson streets, sbe said, + Pappy, I cannot go any further ;” [ took her into my arms; she said. ‘1 feel so bad in the stomach, | am burning up, pappy.” She died ata quarter or twenty minutes of 10 o'clock: abe had convulsions; she had nothing to eat from the time I took her out until she died ; her mother told me ebe had had nothing to eat except her supper, and that came off of my pl I think a peach was mentioned after- wards.

(From the Warsaw (Il1.) Indianian.] Tne Methodists have been in the habit of holding prayer meetings at what is known as Ludlow Church, abont five miles east of this place, on both Thursday and Saturday ninge, the latter being more especially set aside for young people. There was a revival at the church last winter. at which quite a number attached themeelves, while at the same time there wes a considerable amount of row- dyism manitested on the part of others, which, however, did not break outin any particular violence. Some two weeks since, while at prayer meet- irg. we learn that there was a difficulty be- tween tbe decea-ed and one of the Kist broth- erg, both residents of the neighborhood, and trom that time forward they swore to have re- venge. A number of others are implicated in the affair more or Jess, and the matter was very generally understood throughout the entire neighborhood that at the meeting which was held ou Saturday evening last, Mr. Funk was | to receive @ severe castigation, at leact, if not | take bis life. Accordingly, on Saturday evening, there Was an unusual attendance at the prayer meeting, of those who had not been in the habit of attending such p'aces, called there no doubt for the purpore of pected fight, or for tae purpose of taking part in it. As soon as the meeting closed Mr. Fank came out, and when a few paces from the door cf the meeting-house he was confronted by tour or five persons and knocked down with a sione, and immediately afterwards was set upon by Henry Kist, who hit him over the head repeatedly with a stone which he held in bishand. While this was going on, a “ring” was formed around the parties, and although efforts were made on the part of the frienas of order to put a stop to the disgracetul pro- cerdings, they found their efforts completely thwarted by those composing the “rim,” most of whom have since ben arrested aad placed | im jail. Mr. Fank was taken mto the church, where be was washed and then taken home, where he lingered until four or five o'clock on Sunday evening. When he died. Word was immedi- ately sent to this place, warrants were issued, and a party proceeded to the neighborhood, and arrested Elijah Evans, Samuel Evans, Jas. Munson, Lonard Hiner, Warren Howe, Wm. Weise, George Andiews, Wade Harris, Jacob Kiet. and Mr. Cramer,’ all of whom were brought to town and placcd in jail. Henry Kist, the man who used the stone on Mr. Funk, is still at large. The yeung man who lost his life was twenty- seven years of age, very mousenlar, and it is | thoneht this is the reason why he was set upon by so many. He was much respected by his neighbors.

We are of opinion that it is expedient to re- strain in the public services of the United Church of England and Ireland all variations in respect to vesture from that which has long been the established usage of the said United Church ; and we think that this may be best secured by providing aggrieved pa- Tisioners With an easy and effectual process for complaint and r< dress.
