THE INIQUITI OF JUSTICE.
Chief Jihtice Chasb yesterday made a de
tlnion In the I'Dltcd States DlHtrlet Court, nt
Richmond. Virginia, which will thoroughly
arouse the indignation of the loyal people of the
whole country, if not nguiust the Chief Justice,
certainly against the law which he expounded.
When lYirgiula plunged into rebellion lu 1801,
the United States Marnbtil for that district turned
oyer to the so-called Confederacy all the Gov
ernment property lu bis bands. This was not
an isolated case. The pro-Rebel members of
Buchanan's Cabinet had taken care that every
office within the gift of the Executive In the
Southern States should bo filled by a red-hot
secessionist, and when the crisis came, the
United States Marshals, roHtmiistcrs, and other
Federal officers entrusted with tho money and
property of the Government, without a moment's
hesitation, and withont any effort to regard the
obligations of their oaths, generally followed the
example of this Richmond functionary by turn
ing over to the Confederate authorities every
thing in their possession which belonged to the
United States. Then followed the war against
the Union, and during its progress, and for two
or three years after its close, it was utterly im
possible for the representatives of the Govern
ment to enforce, or even to make any claim
upon these delinquent traitors for a restoration
of the property which had been disposed of by
them in this fashion.
As soon, however, as it was possible for the
United States, through its proper representa
tives, to demiftid restitution, the demand was
made, and the regular machinery of the Federal
courts called Into action to enforce it. Tho first
case which was brought up, we believe, was the
one in which the United States sustained a
nonsuit yesterday in Richmond. The traitor who
had been appointed United States Marshal for
the district of Virginia by the Buchanan admin
istration pleaded the statute of limitations in
bar of tho claims, and Salmon P. Chase, the
Chief Justice who received his commission
from President Lincoln, sustained the plea, and
thereby permitted the delinquent official to
escape the consequences of his treasonable
action.
If this were the only case which this Iniquitous
decision would affect, it would be a matter of
comparatively little moment; but if the question
be carried to the Supreme Court, as it certainly
Should, and be sustained, it will necessarily apply
to every similar case throughout the South, and
the treasury of the United States thus made to
contribute directly to tho inauguration of the
war against the integrity of its own territory.
It would be difficult to conceive of a more fla
grant violation of the first principles of justice
and common sense than is involved in such a
Btate of affairs. The Chief Justice is entrusted
With the interpretation and enforcement of the
laws enacted by Congress. It is his business to
expound these laws in accordance with the time
lionored principles of interpretation, and to en
force their provisions as thus construed,
without the fear of popular clamor or
favor for individual interests. As
we have not yet seen the decision In full, It is
impossible to express any opinion upon the
merits of the arguments by which the Chief
Justice had been led to pronounce it. It is
barely possible that he has given to the law as
he finds it in the statute book the only construc
tion of which it will admit, and that the fact
that it was utterly impossible for the United
States to assert its claims at an earlier day, be
cause of the hostilities prevailing between tho
two soctions of tho country, did not operate to
put the statute of limitations in abeyance.
If this be tho case, we can only
Bay that it affords another striking
illustration of tho variance between law and
justice. According to the old maxim of the
common law, "no time runneth against the
King." This maxim has been enforced again
and again in this country, and the books of tho
Treasury at Washington are now encumbered
with numberless unsettled accounts against Gov
ernment debtors, some of which are of fifty
years' stauding, with no attempt at enforcing
them, because a Judgment against the parties or
their legal representatives would be absolutely
worthless. Its application becomes even
more reasonable when the Government
is prevented, from asserting its claims, not be
cause of the insolvency of its debtors, but be
cause of the prevalence for years of a state of
war and the consequent temporary overthrow of
all the legal machinery for enforcing them. If
the law as it stands should prevent the applica
tion of the maxim In cases of this character,
there is, of course, no remedy, but this does not
abate the glaring injustice which is perpe
trated under its shield and by its sanction.
the imprisonment of plundering
1'olitigians.
A fsw faint streaks of the dawn of the better
day, when officials who conspire to plunder
governments will be punished with as much
ecverity as the criminals who rob private indi
viduals, are beginning to illumine tho horizon.
Callicott, who was formerly the Speaker of the
New York State Assembly, and subsequently a
revenue official detected In dishonest practices,
is still incarcerated within the walls of the
Albany Penitentiary; and while we question the
wisdom of the regulation which alleviates his
punlsliment by making him the hospital steward
of that Institution, the fact remains that pecu
lating officials cannot always escape the clutches
of the law, and that in his instance at least,
although it may be but one of a hundred, justice
has claimed a rightful victim. Iu England, re
cently, a clerk in tho Admiralty, T. Gambler,
who, together with an engineer, Rumble, so
licited and obtained a bribe from a contractor as
a consideration for obtaining a contract to fur
nish timber, were subsequently arrested on thu
charge of conspiring to obtain money under
false pretenses, and un English court convicted
and sentenced them to eighteen months luiprl
Boumcnt at hard labor.
Pennsylvania doubtless contains at this mo
tnent hundreds, perhaps thousands, of men who
are guilty of offenses quite us heinous as those
for which Callicott was punished in New York,
and Gambler and Rumble sentenced to prison In
England. Many of these men hold high posi
tions, exert a powerful influence upon political
pmouvuls, ul liuru directly or mUucuij
Inw-mitkcrs In public, while they are the worst
of law-brenkers In private. The best service
that courts and juries could render to this State
and nation would be the Incarceration of vil
lains of this class In the ponltontlaries of the
land. They do more to Increase the burdons of
tax-payers, to corrupt society, and to demoralize
politics, than all other criminals and all other
causes combined; and tho political atmosphore
will never be purified until the lesson is distinctly
taught that direct or Indirect peculation is as
sure to bo punished by imprisonment as bur
glary or highway robbery. Undue leniency has
so much increased tho audacity of these grace
less scamps, that year after year they become
more clamorous In their demands and more
shameless In their schemes of fraud aud extor
tion. If they must bo supported at the public
expense, It Is a thousand times bettor to sustain
them on penitentiary rations, costing thirty-six
cents per day. than to permit them to run at
large, luxuriating on the fat of the land, living
in fine houses, wearing purple and fine linen,
and adding countless millions to their Ill-gotten
store.
HE VELD Y'S FA HEW ELL.
We have finally got rid of the last of our John
sons. Andy has retired to the seclusion of
Greenville, where he Is engaged In brooding
over the uncertainties of fame, and in explain
ing the Intricacies of "my policy" to the be
nighted inhabitants of Tennessee; and Reverdy,
the great American dinner-eater, has said his
nilicux to the Quocnof England, and will shortly
cross the broad Atlantic under the uncomfort
able impressiou that his mission has been worse
than a failure, and that his post-prandial diplo
macy has only served to make the last state of the
Alabama question worse than the first. Since the
rejection of his famous turtle soup and plum
pudding treaty by the Senate, and the publication
of Senator Sumner's summing up of the Ameri
can grievances against Great Britain, we have
heard nothing whatever of any knife and fork
exploits performed by Minister Johnson, and the
Lairds nud Roebucks have given him the cold
shoulder. The British Lion has got his back up
at Mr. Sumner's speech, and our late misrepre
sentative at the Court of St. James will leave the
shores of Albion, his ears filled with the noise of
hearty British curses, and his sea sickness aggra
vated by the mortifying consciousness that they
arc the natural result of a too Indiscriminate
use of soft sawder ou his part.
Although there arc no more big dinners for
Reverdy in England, his admirers on this side
of the Atlantic arc determined that he shall not
retire to private life on an empty stomach. It
is accordingly reported that arrangements arc
being made to give him a big feed at Washing
ton ou his return, which will combine all the
solid delicacies of a genuine English dinner, aud
scr to remind him of what he has lost by the
miscarriage of his efforts to bring about an un
derstanding between the United States and Eng
land. This would be a fitting termination for
the diplomatic career of the last of our public
Johnsons; and there is such a suggestion of
delicate satire iu the idea, that it will be a matter
for regret if it is not carried eut.
In the meantime the Britons will rage, and
pwcar by the beard of William the Conqueror
that they will never pay our bill; and Mr. Mot
ley, who has studied the philosophy of history
to some purpose, will wait until the animal has
exhausted himself, and then, by a persistent
advocacy of our claims, will perhaps succeed in
gcttiug a new Idea -or two Into tho dullest
British brain, will convince the stupidist Tory
that tho American people are in earnest, and
that the question Is not pay or fight, but pay or
let the matter remain open, with all the risks
of British commerce being swept out of ex
istence in case of a war with the Emperor of
China or some equally potential monarch who
may have a grievance to settle. The outburst
of rago which followed the reception of
Mr. Sumner's speech in England has a ludicrous
wail of terror beneath the cursings loud and
deep, which indicates that the British Govern
ment, protesting that it will never pay, will pay
at last. We can certainly afford to allow the
Alabama claims to remain open for an Indefinite
length of time if our cousins across the water
can, and Minister Motley need do nothing more
in tho diplomatic way than put his hands in his
pocket and whistle "Yankee Doodle," until some
British statesman awakes to the fact that a
further postponement of the day of settlement
is inexpedient and dangerous to British interests.
THE BIUTlSn COLONIAL POSSESSIONS.
A Montreal despatch says that the British
Privy Council is considering a project for the
relinquishment of nil the British colonics except
India. This news has been forwarded over a
circuitous route, but it may nevertheless have a
substantial basis in fact; and, as the Canadians
are deeply Interested In the future colonial
policy of Great Britain, they may have received
the Intelligence in advance of its transmission from
Loudon to the United States. It is evident that
pride rather than interest prompts the continu
ance of imperial authority over a largo portion
of the British dominions, and if English mer
chants, manufacturers, and shipowners could be
assured of the continuance of their industrial
and commercial supremacy over their American,
West Indian, African, and Australasian posses
sions, they would care little for the continuance
of absolute governmental dominion. The dis
tant nnd sparsely-ponulated colonies arc a
source of continual expense, vexation,
and danger, and British tax-payers are gradu
ally growing weary of tho costly policy
which burdens tho oppressor even more than
the oppressed. The British Empire contains nu
area, in round numbers, of 0,150,000 square
miles, but so much of this is a dreary and inhos
pitable waste, that 4,300,000 square miles in
North America and Australasia contain a popula
tion of only 3,000,000. or less than one person to
ulsquare mile, and all the British territory, ex
clusive of the British Islands and the possessions
lu Asia, contains a population of but six millions,
spread over an area of more than 4,500,000
square miles. A marked contrast-to this sparsc
uess of population is presented by the territory
which, according to tho Montreal' despatch, the
Vrivy Council propose to retain. The British
Islands, with mi area of 120,850, contain a popu
lation of 27,000,000, or more t.an two hundred
persons to the square mile, aud tho British pos
sessions In Iudla contain a population of
183,000,000 on nn area of 1,500,000 square
miles, or more than one hundred and
twenty persons to a square mllo. The
proposed policy Is based on the Idea thut
It is profitable to govern pcnplo, but an expen
sive luxury to exercise dominion over a wide
expanse of unproductive territory. Thickly
populated di.-ti icts can be made to pay heavy
taxes, to furnish useful markets for British pro
ducts, and to sustain large hordes of British
officials, while rude regions rapidly absorb
revenue and create an unceasing drain upon
! English resources. It Is a grand thing to say
I that the line of British forts stretches around
tho Impress of British powor, that half of
North America belongs to the rulers of a cluster
of little Islands, and that the British lion
stretches his paws over every grand division of
the world, but the British love money even
better than power, and the folly of governing
regions which are an endless source of expense
Is Incoming apparent even to rapacious John
Bull. The day cannot bo far distant when a
willingness to abandon authority over distant
and unproductive colonial possessions will be
come a prominent feature of English policy, and
it Is not improbable that the New Dominion will
be one of tho first whlto elephants that will bo
set free to browse for Itself.
Connecticut, In 1805, voted upon tho ques
tion of extending the elective franchise to tho
colored clement of its population, and rejected
the proposal by a negative voto of 33,48!) against
37,217lntheafllrmativc. Connecticut was there
upon excessively landed by tho Caucasian jour
nals, and pronounced to bo committed forever
against negro suffrage. At the recent election,
however, tho ratification of the proposed fif
teenth amendment to tho Federal Constitution
was made a distinct Issue, and the result
was the re-election by the people of a
Legislature which has just given Its assent to tho
suffrage amendment by a decided majority, the
vote in the Senate, taken some days ago, stand
ing 13 to 8. and in the House of Representatives,
which acted upon the question yesterday, 130 to
104. The world moves, and the Connecticut
Democracy Is not such a heavy weight that it
can retard its progress.
THE INTERNATIONAL TROUBLE.
Wlint h Said of flip Alnlinma t'litimn by an
KiikHnIi Jourmilvt.
Mr. Justin McCarthy Is a London newspaper
man of the first class, who Is spending a few
months here In the study of American institu
tions, ond who Is returning the favor bv giving,
through our own periodicals, the best sketches
of contemporary English politics which we have
had for a long time." He Is a man of observa
tion, character, and good sense, nud knows his
own country and countrymen as well as any
Englishman we ever had with us. We therefore
deem worthy of note the sensible letter addressed
by him to the Tribune , In relation to the pre
sent gossip about a war with England. Mr.
McCarthy says that "the reason why tho Eng
lish arc so passionately excited about Mr. Sum
ner's speech Is that he Is looked on as the most
pacific, the calmest, tho most enlightened of the
American Senators, aud the wannest friend of
England." When, therefore, Mr. Sumner talked
so plaiuly the English at once took It for granted
that Chandler is the real representative of Ame
rican sentiment. Notwithstanding all which,
says Mr. McCarthy:
"If America tloes'not want a war, England does
not. The leading members of the present English
Government, ami the whole mass of the English
working population, will never consent to declare
war against America until America has actually de
clared war against England. Hut the Alabama claims
will be settled nevertheless. The English public
mind has for some time been waking Hp to the fact
that England did you a heavy wrong. The fact will
weigh more and more upon the public conscience,
and people begin to think more and more about it,
and despite tho Time and the 1'all Mall Gazette, it
will lead in the end to a general admission of error,
and to a just reparation."
This is a sensible, and doubtless a just view of
the case. Tho old ladles who have not slept
lately o' nights, for fear of another war, may
adjust their nightcaps aud repose as soundly
as ever. N. 1 Mail.
NEW gQK.IIISIVT.3.
From Our Own Correspondent,
Nrw york, May 14, 1300.
Well! well ! what a nice time of it the women have
been having at Cooper Hall, to be sure! Two whole
days all to themselves in the very heart of the city of
New York, anil to-day a jubilee over at the Brooklyn
Academy of Music. Tho warmth of Wednesday and
the mugglness of Thursday abated their ardor not a
Jot Headed by Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and
abetted by Susan U. Anthony, the stageful of politi
cal Purdiggles and evangelizing Jelltbys at Cooper
Institute was something more curious than one sees
oftener than once or twice In a lifetime. This
Woman's Rights Convention which has been held
for the last two days, morning and evening, at
Cooper Institute, 1b a very extraordinary affair. Its
political significance is of course Us chief claim to
public interest. After thut coinc other considera
tions, such as the ages aud toilettes
of the various parties, their stspectlve
positions In the social scale, the connecting motives
that drew them thither, the amount of sincerity and
venality mingled together, the ardor of their hopes,
the speedlness with which these hopes will be real
ized, or the slowness of the death they will die. One
of the evening speakers was that chaste refulgency
of the stage, Miss Olive Logan, one of whose beliefs
It Is, according to a recent article of hers in J'ackard'n
Monthly, that young babies ought to be entrusted to
servants while the mothers are out getting a living.
Miss OUvo has a good deal to say about virtue, chas
tity, and the demoralization of tho modern stage.
She was particularly hard upon the wearers of yellow
hair and the sporters of padded limbs, aud made
pointed and withering allusions to burlesque-queens,
"no names being mentioned," however. She stated
that i was not necessary for her to allude to her
reasons for leaving the stage, but bearing In mind
the overwhelming brilliancy of her debut, some
four or tlve years ago, as "Julia" lu The Iltmch
back, at the Chesnut Street Theatre, Phila
delphia, one Is tempted to be over curious, perhaps,
and to press the question why did slio abandon tho
stage and adopt magazine-writing and the lecturer's
rostrum? The sprightllncss aud vivacity of Olive
Logan, however, are an excellent set-on" to the sterner
stuff furnished by tho pillars of the convention. Mrs.
Stunton sat In the President's chair like the Mother
of tho Modern Gracchi, and Miss Anthony kept watch
ou her left like the maiden aunt of those heroes.
Other members present were Madame Mutilde Fran
zlska Anncke, from Milwaukee, Mrs. M. F. Wendt
of Hobokcn, Miss Phebe Coggeus from St. Louis,
Mrs. Llvermore from Chicago, the Rev. Antoinette
Brown Blackwcll, etc. Among all these flue manly
looking young women, who were evidently In earnest
about their rights, I noticed a good deal of bono aud
rawness. Why a tendency to redness iu the female
nose should be sympathetic of strongtnlndeduess
is one of those psychical mysteries which is not to
be fathomed in tills early stage of ti e female suffrage
question. That it is so Cooper Iustitute has abun
dantly testliled iluriug the last two days, aud so I
leave the fact as I found It.
It Is proper, however, that I should add In this con
nection that the Women's Bureau, ou Twenty-third
street, near the Academy of Design, hus been opened,
and threatens to be a success. The Jie volution has
broken out on one floor, and a number of other
h) briil Innovations are spreading themselves through
out the other stories. Women ure giving a new In
terpretation to the text which says she Is "bone of
man's bone and flesh of his flesh." They are try
ing to neutralize the distinction of sex, aud to char
acterize the nineteenth century with a political her
maphroditlsm, so far, at least, as tho United States Is
concerned. It was hoped that the Sorouls would
fraternize I use the word "fraternize" advlsodly
with the ladylike young fellows who conduct the
Jtemilution, but It has been unexpectedly discovered
thut the Sorosis are afraid of being overshadowed,
and prefer seeking quarters for themselves else
where. The fact Is the Soroses are only playing at
being In earnest, while Hie Uevolutiun and the darn
ing corps of petticoats that run it ure as solemn aud
remorseless as deutli itself.

There has Iteeu quite an exodus of actors this week
forKurope. Mr. Lester Wallnck and family an I the
Florences sailed in the same vessel, the former for
the restoration of Mrs. Wiilluck' he ilth, the. latter
for a first Instalment, perhaps, of the aure tted tinc

The Coroners nnd their deputies arc excessive!
Indignant lit somo aspersions lately thrown Upon
them to the effect that a "Coroners' King" existed in
this city, by which money whs made out of inquests.
There arc four Coroners In New York, who annu
ally hold two thousand Inquests. The fee in each
case is twenty dollars, giving each v'oroner an
annual income ol ten thousand dollars, which is not
so extremely bad.
Lytlla Thompson's new rival Is Miss Marlon Tay
lor, at Wood's Museum. What the color or Miss
Taylor's own hair Is I don't know, but she wears a
beautiful auburn wig, and is hazel-eyed. She also
sings better than any burlesque actress at present
in this city. One of the funniest things Just now upon
the stage is the duet to the air of : wwvanf om la
fenetre, sung by Lisa Weber and Miss Thompson.
Neither of them hits tho notes clearly. Lisa slugs
sharp and Lydla sings flat, but the audience Is de
lighted and by its profound stupidity only renders
the encore the more brilliant. Am IHba.

LETTER OF MESSRS. DAVID DOWS A CO.
New York, April 10, 1869.
HERRING, FAKRKL A SHKRMAK,
No. 861 Broadway.
Gents: On the night of the 22d ultimo, our store,
No 20 South street, was entered, and a desperate at
tempt made by burglars upon ono of your safes In our
counting-room.
The key to the safe n which we kept our securities
was locked Inside of our fire-proof book safe, the
doors of which were literally cut to pieces ; from this
they obtained the key to the other safe and opened
it. Fortunately we had one of your Burglar-Proof
Banker's Chests inside, In which our valuables were
deposited. This they went to work at with a will,
and evidently used up all their time and tools In vain
attempts to force It. The night was dark and stormy,
and the fact of their knowing where oar key was
kept shows that their plans were well matured. They
tried wedging the door and body of the Chest, and
the faithful sale bears evidence of the labor and skill
devoted to the work. All was useless, and It Is with
great satisfaction we report that upon opening It we
found our securities all tafe, and can therefore cheer
fully Indorse the Burglar-Proof work recommended
by yon.
You will please send the new safe purchased by us
to our counting-house, and take the old one, to show
that some safes are still manufactured woithy of the
same. Davu Dowa A Co. ,
