It merely insists that the fede- overnment shall employ such constitutional power a8 esses for the attainment of that object. What are constitutional powers in question, by means of which ‘aid, incidental or otherwise, can'be extended, the re- tion does not attempt to describe—leaving these pow- to the same expositions which the democratic party always applied. The resolution carefully abstains recognizing any constitutional power in Congress to truct, Or to appropriate lands or money to conatruction of a Pacific railroad. More than that, resolution, by its own terms, excludes the conclusion such powers can be exercised, it plainly admits that communication between the Atlantic and Pacific is to dim the category of postal and military roads, , even Mr Buchanan or Senator Davis will not pre- d that the power to ‘establish post roads’’ involves a yer to construct them, or to appropriate land or money beir constiuction. The democratic doctrine in this re- ict has been fixed beyond the possibility of cavil. ong roads already constructed Congress has the power lect the best for mail transportation, and thus to es- lish them as post roads. Any other construction of the d establish’? would attribute to Congress an unlimit- |power to construct internal improvements throughout Union. orcoyer, military and postal roads are ed together in the resolution above quoted, and it not be pretended to construe the mention of one into a fication of internal improvements by the federal go- mment without applying the same construction to the rs he most, then, that can be said for the resolution is Lt while it denies all power to construct, or to appro- te lands or money for construction, it leaves room for implication that Congress may exercise some other ers, not apecified, by which to aid or encourage the ‘uction by private enterprise aud private means, jevertheless, both Pennsylvania and Virginia were filing to offer opportunity even for this narrow impli- ; and on the motion ofa delegate from Delaware .

UNITED STATES OOURT—DESTRICT OF SOUTH CAROLINA, The United States vs. Wiliam 0. i Order by Magrath, J.—Jan. 17, 1869.—An affidavit of Mr. Ganahl, the Attorney of the United States for the District of Georgia, has been presented by Mr. Conner, the Attor- ney of the United States for the District of South Caro- hima, and upon it an order has been asked that a warrant shall iesuo for the arrest of William C. Corrie, charged with an offence against the laws of the United States; and upon his arrest, for an order directing his removal to the District of Georgia, ‘The question of the arrest, and that of the removal of ‘the party when arrestad, ¥ Georgie, are distinct in themselves, and will be #0 considered. The idavit may make out a’case for the arrest of the ac: cuseds and if arrested, for his trial in this district. If 80, no order cau be made for his removal to and trial in an: other district, The purpose of the act under which the accused is charged is not that there should be more places than one in which he may be tried, but ascertain one place only in which he can be tried. ‘To ascertain that place, the act affords a plain and posi- tive test, It declares that the party accused shail be tried ‘before the Cireuit Court of the United States for the dis- trict in which he may be brought or found.” (Sections 4 and 5, act 16th May, 1820.) Theso terms, “brought or found,” express the difference in the mannor in which the presence of the accused in the district has been produced. ‘Brought? is applicable to his involuntary presence, ag when by capture he is introduced within the limite of a district. “Found” signifies the operation of legal process upon him while he is voluntarily in the district, Tt ia not becanse he may have been in other districts that in these, or either of them, he has been, in the gene of the act, ‘“found;” unlesa in one of them’he may, by process of jaw, have been arrested. To be “found”? ina district, is to be there apprehended or arrested. And in whatever district he bas been thus “found,” in the Circuit Court of that dig- trict he must be tried. ‘The act of 1820 does not, as the act of 30th April, 1790, declare that tho district in’ which the accused is brought for trial, is the ‘tirat” district to which he may,be brought, But I am satisfted that, under the act of 1826, the true construction will be that which understands the term “first? as prefixed, precisely as in the act of 1790. Aad the terms of the act of 1790 will also show that the con- struction now given to “found,” in the act of 1820, 18 cor rect, In the act of 1790 provision js made for the trial of the accuged in the district in which he may ‘frst be brought” or “apprehended.” It seems to me. quite clear that “apprehended,” in the act of 1790, and “found,” in the act of 1820, are convertible terms, aud that “brougtt,”” in the act of 1820, means ‘first be brought,” as expressed in the act of 1790. By the act 3d March, 1825, sec. 14 (4 Stat. U. 8. 118), it is declared that ““,the trial of all offences which may be committed upon the high seas or elsewhere, out of the limits of any State or district, shall be in the district where the offender is apprehended, or into which he may be first brought.” The Constitution of the United States, art. 3, ec, 2, provides that ‘the trial of crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury; and such tfial sball be held in the State where tho said crimes have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the trial shall be at such place or places as the Con- gress’ may by law bave directed.” And the act of 1790, already referred to, provided that “the trial of crimes committed on the high eeas, or in any place out of the Jurisdiction of a particular State, shall be in the district where the offender is apprehended, or into which he may firet be brought.”? (1 Stat. U. 8., p. 114). A crime, there- fore, committed against the laws of the Unived States out of the limite of a State is not local, but may be tried at such place as by law shall be designated. (U. 8. v. Daw- son: 15 How. R. 467.) The sixth article of theamendments to the constitution is in terms coutned to crimes com- mitted within the limits of a State or district, It does not appear that the act of 1820 contemplated the commission of what it probibited within the limits of a rticular State. Otherwise the same exception would ave been introduced which is found in the acts of 1790 and 1826, But whether a case, has arisen not coutem- plated at the time when the act was passed or not, the provisions of the act must he shbordinate to the constitu- tion; and, therefore, if, in this case, the crime has been committed within the limits of a State, it is there that the trial shall be bad, and in such a case the jurisdiction given by the act of 1826, and arising from his being brought or found in a district, would be inoperative. But it seems to me that the consistency of the provisions of the act of 1820, in ascertaining the place at which the trial shall be had, of such as may be charged with a viola tion of them, is to be found in the fact that the offence therein prohibited cannot be said to be commitied within the limits of a State. And of all the modes in which a yarty may incur the penalties of tho aot of 1820, but two can be in any manner considered as connected with the shores of the United States, and, therefore, within the limits of any State; and these are, to ‘land or deliver onshore from on board of avy such ship or vessel, any such negro or mulatto, with intent to make sale of, or having previously sold, such negro or mulatto as a slave.’? (Sec. 5.) What should be the proper construc- tion of this offence? How far, in being connected with and part of the slave trade, in which such ship or. vessel has been engaged, and which, ‘of course, must be out of the limits of @ State, it can be said to be committed within the limits of a State, need not be discussed or decided, as thie is not the offence with which the accused is charged in the affidavit in this cage. In the affidavit, #0 far as it relates to the landing, the accused is charged with having, in the eouthern district of Gebrgia, landed from the vessel called the Wanderer certain negroes or mulattoes, not held to service or labor by the laws of either of the States or Territories of the United States, “with intent to make such negro or negroes, mulatto or mulattoes, a slave or slaves.”” It will be seen that the purpose of the landing, as disclosed by the affidavit, is not the purpose which, in connection with the landing, contributes to make the offence prohibit- ed by the act of 1820. But the affidavit also charges tho accused with having, on a foreign coast, and with all the circumstances as detailed in the fourth section of the act, seized, decoyed, and forcibly brought, carried and re: ceived on board the vessel called the Wanderer, the negroes charged as having been landed in Georgia. In these cbarges are undoubtedly to be found, if proved, offences against the law of the United States.’ But these cannot be said to have been committed within the limits of a State. ‘The affidavit, as was required by the act, alleges that they were committed on a “foreign shore.” The crime, therefore, if committed, has been commit- ted without the limits of a State, and is not local, but may be tried where the law designates (15 How. R. 467,); and the act of 1820 has designated the place where the offender shall be brought or found. The place (says Mr. Sergeant) where the accused is brought or found, is substituted for the place in which the offence was com- mitted, and has jurisdiction. (Com. Law, 248). Tho affi- davit in this cake does not allege that'the accused has ever been brought into, or been found in, the Distriet of Georgia. There is, then, no jurisdiction which can be exercised over the accused in the courts of the United States for Georgia, because the offence with which he is charged was not committed within the limits of that State and because the offence not, being local, it is not alleg that within that jurisdiction be bas been brought or found. ‘ashe authority, therefore, £S, by the act of 3d Septem: ber, 1789, sec. 33 (1 Stat. U. 8. 9.) to commit remove the acccused, cannot be exercised in this case. But the removal of the accused to Georgia cannot be ordered, not only because of the fact that the Courts of the United States for Georgia have not obtained jurisdiction over him; because, if arrested in the District of South Ca- rolina, he cannot be removed elsewhere, but must be tried here. ’ I have already said that where offences against tha United States are local, committed within the limits of a State, in that State the constitution has declared the trial shall be had. And where the offence is not local, not within the limits of State, the offence shall be tried wherever the law may di we. And that in this cage the act of 1820, with a violation of which the accused is charged, vides that he sha}! be tried in the district wherever e is brought or found. In no district, does it appear, has the accused been brought; but in this district the motion for his arrest must presume that he cao be found. And if so found, by the terms of the act, the jurisdiction of tho courts of the United States in this district become com- plete, and in being so, exclusive. If a tribunal for the trial Of the offence, wherever it may have been commit- ted, has been provided by Congress, and at the place where the prisoners were seized there existed such a tribunal, such a tribunal has jurisdiction, and the accused cannot be trang] to a different district for trial.— (Sergeant Com.

Dr. Hatch Defines His Position. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. The Herat omitted one important paragraph in my letter yesterday on “The Moral, Social and Religious Aspects of Spiritualism.” 1 wish to have it distinctly un- derstood that I have not one single word to say against Mrs, Cora L. V. Hatch, but on the contrary, all thatcan be uttered in woman’s praise. 1 have taken this position from the first, but have been pained to know that every word I utter is contorted intoa reference to her. It ought to be sufficient for me to say that neither my love or re- spect for her is inany way less tban it was the day I led her to the altar. I think that Lunderstood spiritual and psychological influences too well to blame her. She is on the road which other influences are guiding her. Of the smoothness of that road or the place where it leads it matters not to those who may take ap interest in this dis. cussion. It is intended to strike higher, deeper and broader than at a defencelees woman. Even admitting that I had charges to bring against her, I should consider it beneath my manhood, beneath that generosity which, Thope, God has given to the bearts of all. Tt is mot those ‘who have the truth, but ‘‘those whose deeds are evil, and who love darkness rather than light,” who will persist in making this appear a8 a discussion or an attack upon Mrs. Hatch. vis intended by this letter to put the mat- ter on the right ground—to let the public understand the exact position of the parties and the object sought. Because I am the husband of Mrs. Hatch, cannot I speak ofthe subject of spiritualism without its being distorted into an attack upon her? Am J to be misconstrued, and my in- tentious, clearly expressed, be mangled and made to say that which I nevér dreamed of or which was never in tended? I fight an evil, nota persou. No personalities ‘enter into this controversy. No individual character is a stake further than it is involved in general principles. know that Iam calling down upon my head the bitter wrath of many. I know that they will ‘not stop short 0 anything that a war of words will permit, to cast upon mo ridicule, odium and disgust. But I am determined that | will not’ be misunderstood. ask of the public a candid hearing, and then it is welcome to decide. If [attack in dividuals it will be in reply to attacks made upon me. The meanest criminal in your courts of justice has the right to be heard in his own way. Task those who have the smallest sense of justice in their hearts if Lam to be condemned, because Ihave made mistakes in reference to a philosophy or doctrine which is new to the world, and which "many thousands of others have far more eagerly imbibed and still cherish their falsities? Cannot I express my honest conviction without being dictated by per- sonal malice or revenge? I simply reqaire a hearing in the city where I lately appeared before the public. That paragraph erased in reference to Mrs, Hatch was in- dispensable to the proper understanding of my position. But, as it now appears, it might be distorted into a covert attack upon her. But as written by me, no such thing could for a moment be believed by auy due, Therefore, Tasked to be heard in relation to @ principle or aa evil, and not @ person. With persons I have no controversy, | prop se to discuss the moral, religious and social bearings of spiritualism, or the evils which are the result of an unbridled belief in what is called spiritualism. This is my theme, and God helping me, I will discuss it; and the enemies of truth, justice and virtue shatl not turn me aside or make a personal matter where no person is in. tended, I remain the friend of virtue and truth, neither fearing the light of day, investigation nor discussion.

B, F. HATCH, M. D. Surrogate’s Court. Before Edward C. West, Surrogate, Jan. 21—The Estate of H. H. Porter , deceased. —Tnis isan application by the public admnistrator for a warrant to issue to compel the discovery of property alleged to be conceal ed. It appears from the testimony that Dr. Henry H. Por ter, the intestate, previous to his death, executed a bill of sale of his store and fixtures, No. 216 Fulton street, and his interest in four distinct patent medicines, toa Mr. Rob. ingon, who, after the death of Dr. Porter, assignod all said property to the widow of the deceased, Elizabeth Porter. Mrs. Porter subsequently sold the same to Hail, Ruekel & Co. for the sum of $3, This sum was de: posited with Mr. Peter Cooper, who gave his note or cer- tificate for the amount. Tho object of this application is to reach the money. ‘The Surrogate decided that when it ‘was mado to appear that the widow held the property ‘under color of title, he would not assume the transaction to be fraudulent, and would refuse to issue the warrant, but leave the parties to litigate the question in the proper Court. The Estate of John Groff, deceased.—This was an appli cation by John G. Everett for a payment to him of a legacy of $10,000 under the will of the testator. When the questions were argued e the Surrogate, the case was reported in this paper. To-day the Sarrogate decided upon the different points as follows e legacy carries interest from the death of the testator, Second—Tuxes, if ‘any, are chargeable to the legacy, and are payable out of tha ‘cetaté of the minor. Third—Commiasions may be charged by thé oxteitor annually, at the full rates, where annual rents are made for the parpose of compounding the interest on the legacy. Tar Farw Morrcace Bonps 1x Wisconsin.— The farmers living along the line of the La Urosse railroad ‘who mortgaged their farms in aid of @is company are pre- paring to resist foreclosures. We clip the following from the Madison (Wis.) Argus:—A counterpart of antt-rent times io New York is doubtless approaching in Wisconsin ‘The “Home League,” formed by the farm mortgagors already extends over the entire tract of country where lands have been mortgaged to the railroad campanies, avd embraces probably 3,000 or 6,000 persons. The erganiza- tion is m secret one, bound together by oaths, aud its se- cresy is protected by signs, grips and pasa words, It was at first given out that their objects were simply to protect, by legal means, the possession of their property. Bat as doubts arise whether any valid logal defence can be set up to the foreclosure of the mortgages, the spirit of tho “Home League” is changed, and the defence of their pro perty, by any and ali means that may become necessary, ip avowed, We Jearn from the Beaver Dam Citizen that at the last meeting of this “ league,” held at Rolling Prairie one week ago, & resolution was passed declaring virtually that if an attempt was made to collect these mortgages or the interest on them, they should resort to some violent measures, either tor resisting such collection or for giving expression to the feeling uppermost. in their minds, that they haye been deeply wronged by the railroad company. Tue Tor Trane on THR Hupson.—Soveral new foo houges bave been erected on the banks of tho Audson during the present winter. They have all been or are in Progres# of being filled, Tho season thus far has been unusually favorable. Tho Kingston Journal says toore are already in that neighborhood 99,000 tons of ice gather- ed, valued at half « million of dotiars. If these statistics are correct, it is safe to say that more than 300,000 tons are already stored on tho banks of the Mudson above Newburg, worth moro than a miition and @ haif of dot- lars, This ss certainly a very handsome crop. TnoventLessness.—The Lockport Courier saya the wife of Thomas Redloy, in that place, put hor little child ip tho wood-box, near the stove, for safe keeping, while eth went down street; the stove became too hi and set the wood box on lire, and bi be rendered tho child was burned to death, Obituary. MARGARET L, BISHOF, THE STREET PREACHER. Many of our readers will remember the circumstance of a lady preaching in our streets and public places, at various: intervals within the last fifteen ycars. That ardent spirit, which was so inflamed by religious zeal as to cast aside ‘the usual reserve and apprehensions of her sex, is at last at rest. A brief notice of her life and exertions will be acceptable to her colaborers in the Church of Christ. Margaret L. Bishop on her father’s side was of the Thompson family, of Musselboro, Scotland, who were chiefly engaged in mercantile pursuits, On hor mother’s side she was of the Aitchenson family, of Climers Wells, the male members of which were principally barristers or ministers of the established church. Queen Victoria, in one of her visits to Scotland, conferred the honor of knighthood upon one of them. Margaret lost ber mother when she was only about four years old. Impatient of the strict discipline observed at ‘the English school, and also at her father’s house, she resolved, when very young, to emancipate herself from those domestic restraints. About the age of seventeen she accomplished her object, and sailed for France the year after the battle of Waterloo.”| She made rapid progress in the acquirement of the French Japguage, and retaived it throngh life so ag to converse with perfect ease when in French society. Efforts wire made by certain persons in France to get her to join the Roman Catholic Church, which design seems to have been prevented, according to her own confession in after life, by one circumstance only, namely; that she coutd pot forget that her motber was a Protestant. After spending about two years in France she returned to her native land. Her faith in the creed of the churca of her fathers caused her much trouble and concern of mind, from the idea that, whether she was one of the lost or saved, was a decree over which she had no control. This was the reason of her being occasionally found seeking religious cousolation n dissenting chapels. In 1820 she became a member of he Christan Israelites, a church of that order being es: ablished in Edinburg. She had written many poetical and miscellaneous works, which she destroyed from reli- gious motives or scruples In 1836 she was left » widow with two children, and in 1886 she set out on a missionary tour, preaching’ in the highways and by ways, squares and market places of the cities and large towns from Scotland to Liverpool, where, on Prince’s dock and other places of pubile resort, she ad- dressed assembled thousands. In Bristol some ministers talked 01 appealing to the civil authorities to prevent ber preaching on the public squares, because #he did not po the authority of a Jicensed clergyman. On bearing of this she went to the Mayor's office, and called for the act passed in the fifty recond year of George the Third, with the accompanying oaths ana declarations, injorming the gentlemen that she was ready to subscribe to these oaths, in order to receive a minister’s creventials, One person thought that the bisbop would be displeased. and another that St. Paul had something on the subject; but the act of Pariiament said “person or perong,”” and she gaived her license. She made her tour to the last town in Cornwall, visited Ply- mouth, Exeter, the islands of Jersey and Guernsey, sailed for Southampton, and proceeded to London, where she hed in Smithfeld market, in the parks, at the End, and in different assembly rooms; then she pro- ceeded towards Yorkshire and Jaucashire, where she ond time; travelie# through Wales and Ice. land, then sailed ror New York, w she landed on th 21st of June, 1841. Here she labored with her usual ar- dor and zea} until the close of her life, on the 24th of No- vember, 1858. Perhaps the most remarkable incident in this devotet womau’s life is a circumstance which occurred in Europe A young man, who bad deserted from the army, present ed himself toa minister, desiring to be received as a member of the church. The minister refused him unless be would consent to go and deliv@r himseif up to tis Colo- nel. ‘The tears flowed from his eyes, and every one was moved by his distress. Margaret Bisbop olfered to take him herselfto the Colonel. He mustered up resolution apd accepted her offer. ‘They arrived at the town where the regiment was stationed, " Margaret requested him vo conceal bimeeif until she bad seen the Colonel, who was at that time in the drawing room of one of the hotels. she informed the waiters that her business could only be com- municated in person, and succeeded in,obtaining a person al interview with bim, atthe close of which the Colonel said the deserter must be tried according to military law, but that in this cage the punishment would be remitied. Margaret bad the satisfaction of restoring the man to his Fegiment and of enabling him to escape the penalty of his offence. At various intervals in her life she wrote poems on the doctrines of the church in which she lubored as a mis- sionary, from one of which her friends selected the follow- iug stanzas, and had them engraved ona marble mouu- ment erected over her grave at Cypress Hill Cemetery:— Methinks 1 hear the mighty trumpet speak, The graves do open, souls to life awake, Tn angel’s image every one doth rise, ‘Who owned their Saviour ere death closed their eyes. But ah | 8 glory above there shall stand On Zion’s bill, brought forth by God's own hand : A church in white, with Jesus in their midst: The marriage makes them one—decrees are fixed. ‘The curse shall be removed, the earth be blest, All nature shall enjoy the promised rest; ‘Yen, everything that breathes the voice will raise To Father, Son and Holy Ghost in praise. A Bible, eculptured out of marble, is to be placed at the base, with the inscription: “Search the Scriptures.”” Police Intelligence. Assautt By A Derury Susniry.—About three o’clook yesterday afternoon, a8 a man named William A Hardenbrook, residing in Weschester county, was proceeding down Broadway with a lady, ho was suddenly eeized by the collar by a deputy sheriff named Henry Dreher, and before he was aware, was almost thrown to the ground. Mr. Hardenbrook, not knowing the nature of the attack, and thinking he was as sauligd by some ruffian, struck the deputy sheriff a blow im the face, which caused him for a moment to iet go his hold on Mr. H. The deputy then made known to Mr Hardenbrook that he had an attachment against him, and that he must proceed with him to the sherii!’s olfice.” Mr. Hardenbrook, however, refused to accompany the sheriff, claiming that be had answered the attachment issued against him at one o’clock that day, and was thea on bis way to the carsfor home, Mr. Dreher, however, refused to allow him to proceed, and finally called upon officer Tat- till, of the Broauway squad, to arrest Hardenbrook, and he would make a charge against him for assault and bat- tery. He was accordingly conveyed befure Justice Welsh, where, upon a hearing in the case, Mr. Hardeabrook was immediately discharged. ‘The deputy sheriff bad, in the meantime, succeeded in bringing to his assistauce two or three of his colleagues in office, and while Mr. Hardenbrook was examining the law to justify bis resistivg the officer, jt is alleged that he was sud- denly seized by the back of the neck, and in a most brutal and cowardly mavner dragged’ out aimost to the door by three of the deputy sheriffs; and who, in ail probability, Would hays struck the mao one or two severe biows, which they 2 in the act of dong, when Justice Weish promptly ordered his otlicer to take bolice of ail the parties WhO were engaged in the trapeaction, and at we same time to have the office cleared, Mr. Harden brook then proceeded to the door, waen he was again seized in a like manner by the same party and drove through the Hall at a furious rate to the Shorilf's office, As they neared the Sheriff's door, which is on the same floor, they did not take me to oped it, but drave Mr, Hardenbrook’s head against the door with such force as to burst it open, be being almost precipitated to the ground, Here be was surrounded by about a dozen others of the fame department, and finally dragged off ® Eldridge street jail, they even refusing wo perinit him wo procure bail. Mr. Hardenbrook had his clothing some- what torn, and lost two valuable studs while in the hands of the sheriffs. An’ examination in the cage will no doubt take place to-day. Decinenty Coot.—George Washington Wilson lives in Baxter street, and occasionally in the Tombs, Yesterday be was brought before Justice Convolly ona charge of drunkenness and disorderly conduct. He bad been ar- rested the night previously, and when arraigned before the magistrate had quite recovered from the effucts of his siebauch, He had not the least idea, he said, why he should thus be dragged into a police court; but if the ma- vistrate thought proper to fine him for doing nothing, why ue might do 80. Justice Connolly remarked that he had got tired of fining the delinquent, and, by way of variety, would send him to prison for ten days. “Send me to prison for ten days!” replied the asto- vished Mr Wilson. “ Who is going to pay me for my time, 1 would hke to know f? Justice Connolly—Oh, your time is of no importance, You can empioy it as profitably in the Tombs here as you can on the Fonts. Prisoner—(oiling with indignation)—I can, eh? Pro- bebiy I kin; but will you pay me two dollars a day while Lm locked up in there?
