The Civit P o utsioneut of Treason.
But few trials for treason have ever oe
urred in this country, and a large propor
on of the cases have resulted in the am,-
uittal of the defendants. From the nature
our instiintions great freedom of opinion,
d even of what in monarchial countries
ould be construed into treasonable action,
a s been tolerated and encouraged. A.
cople who frequently choose new rulers
t ast have a fair opportunity to discuss the
etions of those who are, and those who
(hire to be, their law-makers and Exseu.
"sts. It is not always easy to draw the
sort line between patriotic and treason
ble opposition to an Administration. ,T wo
en may perform the same act, or use the
:me language, and one be animated
s a good and the other by a bad put
tee. But it 'ls nevertheless necessary
r the saft!ly and security of society,
d for the preservation of the very free
em to which we have ref-rred, that all
tempts to overthrow by force and vio
nee our Givernment, or to subvert the
ws by revolutionary measures, should
e sternly checked and severely punished.
republic is the best form of govern
tent, but an anarchy is the worst. The
ost fearful fate that can befall a nation is
have its destinies controlled by the
. prices of armed mobs, or shaped and sif
sted by malty and desperate conspirators.
f defeated minorities were permitted to
els , the popular will at pleasure, and to
secede" whenever they could not gain
, over, the elective system, of which we are
stly proud, would become a scourge in
cad of a blessing. One gigantic attempt
perpetrate this crime has been made on
scale that has shaken the very foundations
f the nation We should spare no pains
make it the last, as it was the first, great
hellion. It is not enough to beat down
armies. We must punish its leaders,
d show that treason can be combated
,ccessfully in our civil courts as well as
the tented geld.
The intention and meaning of the Con.
ilution in defining that offence are clear
ouch. If the rulings of judges are some
hat doubtful and conflicting, and tlie
al judicial interpretation of the cbllateral
estions, which are certain to arise in
MOIL trials, unsettled, it is time that they
could be authoritatively settled now, at a
rind when the public mind is keenly
'ye to the dangers of civil war. We
ould have no judge disgrace his office by
shameless disregard of precedents, and
the usual systems of interpretation.
ut where the scales are evenly balanced
technical points, the welfare of the
ruerican people demands that all the new
eights of this era should be thrown on the
- e of National protection. If there are
tiling, it is far better that they should be
lved in a way that will promote the fin
est of thirty millions of people than that
ey should furnish pretexts for the escape
blood-dyed criminals, and for the en
uragement of new generations of traitors
.reafter. Our existing laws against
eason arc amply sufficient to secure its
,Lishment, if they are interpreted accord
g to the spirit of the common law upon
hich they are partially founded, or the
. cisions orthe Supreme Court of the
lied States. But there has nevertheless
en some subtle reasoning on the bench,
in to the Secession logic with which our
nate Chamber has too often resounded.
will be better now and hereafter if the
e spirit of loyalty which is predominant
.ong the people, and which is so power-
ly exhibited in the Executive and Legis
ive branches of the Government, should
o find fitting exponene in the jndiciary
this we have no fears.
The Lone Star no Longer Alone.
The surrender by KIRBY gamer( of his
:ns-Mississippi forces winds. up the re-
Ilion, and secures the return of the
Lone Star" to the galaxy of the Union.
, it war ends as suddenly as it began. It
mains only for the people to strive, by in
eased industry and energy, to repair the
•cuniary loss that it has caused, and for
e Government to complete the work of
organization and secure the punishment of
e leading offeaders. Let treason be not
erely " scotched," bat killed outright, so
Xt it may become an Unknown crime in
I our future annals- We must guard
:ainst a - repetition of the scenes of the last
ur years, and make men shudder at the
•re thought of conspiring against the Re

LETTER F 4 R011 , 1 "OCCASIONAL.),
WAMINGTON, June 2, 1865.
Wendell Phillips' late demonstration on
gro suffrz, ge, and against President John
aa for not recommending it, is character
tic: That uneasy spirit was not satisfied
ith the Administration of Mr. Lincoln ;
w, then,. could he be pleased with that
Andrew Johnson ? The first' was de
uneed long before he had a trial, and
most before he had a chance to act ;
d the second is doubtless to be sub
ated to the same querulous and die
terial temper. It is in vain to reason
ith men of this school. Four years ago
it a few of them would have been wil
g to see the Union divided, if that would
ve saved bloodshed and made the free
ales a separate free empire ; and many of
cm would have gratefully compromised
even a partial abolition of slavery, if
'at could have been achieved without
ar. I do not question that Mr.
Mips is a very sincere man, only - he
s an odd way of showing it. Beve
-1 years since he came here to Wash
glon with his friend, Major George.
earns, of Boston, and called together a
mber of leadiae men at his lodgings,
here, after a pleasant collation, he pro
piled to scold them with that easy and
'Parlor air which he knows so well how
assume. The result was, a very square
otestandum from some gentlemen, who,
'Weyer willing to drink Major Stearns'
, ampagne, were not so ready to digest Dr.
1 Mips' bitter pills. Now we have this same
nonage complacently advising the re-
I elation of the entire war debt because
esident Johnson has suggested that the
, estion of suffrage should be remitted to,
kept with, as in all other cases, the peo
le of the States of the South preparing to
some their relations to the National Go
rnment. Such a proposition from any
her quarter would be denounced as more
hn treasonable. Coming from Mr. Phil
5, however, it must be received as the
, unsel of a very eccentric and most
practicable theorist .=
a man who,
rely agreeing with his own friends, even
ch old anti-slavery men as Wm. Lloyd
arreson and Gerritt Smith, cannot be ex
cted to agree with practical statesmen
Andrew Johnson. The easiest thing
the world it is to find fault. The Mils
aua Mr. Lincoln had hie own sad expe
tate of the truth'of this remark; for he
lined that those who indulged in failt
ding never sy,mpathized with the re-
Gusibilities of the ruler, bat really tried
increase therm This is a world of fatts ?

VOL. 8.-NO. 263.
Wendell Phillips. Nor is suffrage to be
secured to the negro by the disc-onivation
of revolutionary ideas, whether they come
from Mr. Phillips or from others. That it
it will be secured, and that, in my opinion,
it ought to he secured, by some process,
which will not end in injury to the blacks
and in damage to the Government, I have
not a doubt. I can well appreciate the
eager desire of earnest men to coun
teract the influence of the returning
rebels at future elections in the South
ern States, and I know that this is one
of their main reasons for insisting
that the colored men of that section
should be secured the right of suffrage
as the surest set-off to that influence. But
you cannot force the matter. Indeed, it
may be gravely questioned whether any
action of the President would give the
blacks their rights at once ; and whether,
if so given, it might not be the cause of
serious troubles among the Southern loyal
whites, who, left to themselves, would op
poi timely confer it according to the mode
suggested by the President, if in their
judgment it would . seem to be neces
sary. Emancipation did not come to
us at once. Hoped for, prayed for,
even demanded, as an instant incident of
the war, at the beginning, it came gra
dually, as that great instrument of God's
providence, Abraham Lincoln, obeyed the
Divine inspiration ; but it came surely,
and it is now an irrevocable blessing. As
to the question of colored suffrage, which
Mr. Phillips and some others demand as a
right, and denounce President Johnson for
not forcing in the Southern States, let us
not forget the obstacles to an indiscrimi
nate bestowal of it. I believe that every
colored man who has fought for the
flag should be clothed with the right to
vote for it. But I know hundreds of intelli
gent colored men who unhesitatingly doubt
thd expediency of giving this right to
all their illiterate brethren of the South.
These masses must be trained for a
series of years before they are fully
equal to a responsibility, which, con
ferred at - once, may be used by tlieir
worst foes for their own selfish ends. How
is it in Massachusetts, the State of Wendell
Phillips ? If there is on God's footsfool a
perfect Government, it is that of Massa
chusetts. However considered or criticised,
it is the best type of a Republic. Its col
leges, schools, hospitals, prisons, churches,
rauuicipalities, its learned men, its acade
mies of arts , and sciences, its streets,
railroads, agriculture, and commerce,
combine to make it worthy of all
eulogy and of universal emulation.
Rut no colored man, and no white
Man, can. vote in Massachusetts unless he can
read and write. I would not insist upon
this as 8 condition precedent in the South
ern States, in view of the real benefit to be
secured and the future danger to be
averted by giving the negroes there the
weapon of the ballot. But 1 certainly would
not reject the example of Massachusetts,
nor rush into abuse of President Johnson
because he refers the whole question to the
States themselves. Whenever Congress
can act on this question they ought to act.
I do not think they should refuse to admit
Senators and Representatives from North
Carolina because the colored men of that
State have not voted in the prior elections.
But lam clear that the intelligent colored
been of the District of Columbia should be
made voters by the next Congress. As a
body I do not know a more useful, faith
ful, and industrious class of citizens, and
they would prove to be an element of
strength and security to the National Capi ,
tel in many respects. Congress eau cto tuts
great work legitimately and properly, and
the people will applaud it ; and in good
season the whole country will come under
the same system, till the once difficult
problem of enlightened freedom is for
evel• settled and solved. Occasion .x.

that night should have been in the position in watch
It was 1 A. The position in which it was then was
the Came in which I cad placed it myself on two
other occasions when the President occupied that
box, and the reason was that, if placed in any other
to.ition, the rockers would be in the way ; the re.
n.oval of the partition left a triangular corner to
the left of the balustrade of the box, and the
roek
'era went into the corner, and were out of the way;
that was the only reason why I pat It there.

Q. Examine that rope [exhibiting rope found in
the carpet bag of the prisoner Spangler), and state
tv tether you know et any 'Such rope bring used
about the theatre, and whether, from its flexibility,
you would judge that it had been used? A. From
its appeerat ce I kLow that it has been used ; if it
bad not it would be lighter in color ; it is like the
ropes that are generally used in the flies for drawing
up the scenes ; what Is called a border rope.
Cross. examined by assistant Judge Advocate
Bingham: Q. You say that kind of a rope was
used in the theatre In fixing up the !Heel A. The
wings ; or, at least, the borders.
Q. If the rope had been used fn the theatre It
would base belonged there would it not 7 A. Yes,
sir.
Q. no proper place would not be a carpet-saolr
ait a mile away 1 A. No fifty I do not think it
would.
Q. Dlr. Spangler would not supply the theatre
with a rope at his own expense t A. It Is Dot my
opinion that he did.
Q. The rope that he need, which you here de
scribed, is a permanent fixture, Is it not 1 A. Some
times we Use a great many of these ropes, and then
tate them down and they lay up in the loft until we
need them again.

door at the box, the keeper of which was fastened by
screws, so as to have drawn the keeper withorieepilt
ting the wood 1 A. .I might have started the keeper;
it would have been according to the length of the
screws.
Q. Is not the facing of that door of piaci A. Yes,
sir, as far as I 05D judge.
Q. Is it your opinion that the keeper of the leak
could have been burst oil by force without Splitting
the woad 1 A. 1 think so ; it might have been so. .

In endeavoring to account for the present and fin
tore price of gold, a new element must be taken
into maculation, tin the state of the European
market in respect to our national securities. The
latest advices from the other Side report that five-
twenties bad not advanced on the London Stock
Exchange up to the 20th Inst., but.olosed at 82 @S4
on the afternoon of that day—a deoline of about one
per cent. from the previous quotations received on
this side. The ateamor Africa, which left Boston
on the 10th nit., did not arrive at Queenstown till the
21st. she carried the news cf the decline or gold to
laim on that day, 141 M having been the lowest price
reported by the previous steamer. It is • rumored
that a considerable amount of five-twenty bonds
have been returned by the Persia, on amount of
parties both here and in Europe, the difference be
tween the price in London and New York showing
*wonderful profit to the importer. The itwo pre
ceding steamers are said to have brought about half
a million of the bonds. The next few steamers may
bring some more of our securities ; but on the re
ceipt of the news of }Orb; Smith's surrender, thus
terminating the rebellionwest as well (mean of the
Mississippi, prices In Europe will be likely to adjust
themselves more closely to tepee current in outown
markets, so as to leave speculators no room for what
at present 18 regarded as a smart operation. Or
ders for several millions of five twenties under limits
have been sent by bankers in this country to their
foreign. correspondents; so it is probable that most
of those returned to us will be on American and not
European account.
The New York Herald argues with much plausP
bility that it is unfortunate in its practical cone'
quer ova that our securities ever found their way
into the European market, for the holders have the
power at any time to derange the course of our ex-.
changes, and thereby affect the price or gold, while
they are already a constant Source of financial
disturbance. Eventually they,must influence the
course of exchange against us to the extent of their
value, which is at present nearly double what it.was
when a large portion of them were serilikenoe ; and
the difference between their specie value at the
time of their export and their return, or
redemption, will be so much against us, and a
dead loss to the country. Many of our Securities
now in Europe were purchased when gold was
worth from 87 to 40 cents on, the dollar only. Sup
posing the three hundred millions, more or less, of
five-twenties held abroad to have been bought , here
at par, with gold at an average of 201, making the
currency dollar worth fifty cents, it would cost us
just double, or three hundred millions for what we
received only a hundred and fifty millions for to re•
deem the same on. a specie baste. Where the debt
is held at home this difference is comparatively im.
material, because its redemption would not affect
our foreign exchanges, whereas a contrary effect Is
produced in the other case. There are ether evils
to which we are exposed by having a large amount
of our national securities hold abroad one of which
is the possibility of a /Ridden return of heavy par
eels of them for sale here.
The board of directors of the Buck liCountain
coat Company have declared a dividend of five per
