INDEMNITY.
Another Indemnity 11111, being tho
fourth or fifth, lately passed tho low
er House of Congrass.
It proposes to lcgallzo every thine;
tint has over been done by any Military
Commission, and to protect all tho
wrongs and outrages coninilted tinder
and by means of that illegal and uncon
stitutional tribunal.
It prevents review of proceedings or
reversal of them by tho United States,
District or State Courts j so that howev
er Illegally a man may have been con
victed and punished, no power on earth
but tho strong arm, no court high or
low can protect or relievo him. Illegal
trial, unlawful punishment, death by
sheer murder must bo his doom.
Mr. M'Keo In a speech In Its favor
said :
"It was lutended to prevent Just such
action as tlio Supremo Court has taken
in tho MUligau case." Whereby 601110
mqn wcro rescued from untimely and
Illegal death. Tho Dill should bo enti
tled "An Act to legalize murder."
Of CQurso tho Radical Republican
will defend It. It Just suits his peacea
ble bloodthlrstlucss.
THE JUDICIARY.
In Tytlcr's llfo of Henry VIII, it is
eaid in relation to the time thercspolten
of "It was tho misfortune of England
at this tlmo to bo ruled by a .Monarch
who made his will his law ; and It was
hor disgraces Uiat among her nobility
nnd Judges thero was scarcely to bo
found n single man who was not ready
to lend himself as tho pliant and un
scrupulous Instrument of his atrocious
proceedings."
It Is to tho credit of the Judges of tho
courts In tho United States, that tha
rulo has boon, that tho Judges "were
unawed by Influence nnd unbribed bv
gain ;" and only hero and thero could
bo found ono base enough to cringo at
tho feet of power. To tho everlasting
credit of the Lawyers of tho United
States bo It spoken, that not one slnglo
lawyer or judge of ability or reputation
has given his legal opinion and sanction
to tho measures which distinguished
nnd disgraced tho iato administration.
So far us they could protect tho pco
plo in their rights of person or prop-
crty they wore safe, nnd it was only
when tho tlnklo of Seward's bell was
backed by brute force, that rights wcro
trampled upon, persons outraged, and
the nation disgraced. Possibly another
thing has been proven: That Judges,
who havo n life tenure, neither cringo
to tho powers that be, nor bult the law
o the popular opinion.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

"Wo learn that Professor Wiekorsham

Tho reading of tho protest havliicr
been concludedj the Qlork said he de
clined to receive any paper of that sort,
or any other matter pending tho organ
izatioirof tho House. His duties wero
clearly defined under tho law, and It
was Impossible for him to entertain any
business inconsistent with the organi
zation of tho Houso which was tho first
duty.
Mn. W'i?on (Rep., Iowa) said this
body assembled in pursuunco of law.
That such is tho case is recognized by
tho gentleman from New York (Mr.
Rrooks) by his presence here, and Is
recognized by those associated with him
and who havo signed the paper which
ho lias read to the House In their pres
ence. Hospcms to have forgotten that
for more than four years ten of tho States
named by him waged a fearful war
against this Government, That fact has

Tho previous question was seconded,
and tho Houso proceeded to tho electiou
of a Speaker.
Mil. Wilson (Ron.. Iowa s.ihl
now put in nomination for tho olllco of

Schuyler Colfax of Indiana. Clapping
m nanus. j in tioing so, i may say tnat
I belluvo this nomination is concurred
in by every member of tho political or
ganization to which I belong ; nnd so
heartily concurred In that It has not
uccn necessary lor tlio party to hold any
caucus whatover.
Mil. lUCHOLSON (Dcm.. Dol.1 said:
As it is tho determination of tho House
to proceed to the election ol Speaker, I
put in nomination Samuel Marshall of
Illinois.
Tho Clerk asked whether thero wero
any othcrnonilnutlons. No others were
made.
The Clerk then appointed as tellers to
take tho voto Messrs. Ranks (Rep.,

TH AT CLAIM TO ALL THE
BE
CENCY.
Tho assumption of Mr. Landon that
only where thero is Ignorance, and a
want of human culture, wo find tho
Democratic party dominant. Is hardly
sustained by tho fact that tho negro pop
ulation Is unanimously Radical. This
claim of superior respectability is not
new, wo havo heard of It before, but it
lias usually como from silly women.
and still more silly men. Mr. Landon
inaKi'S no special claim to honesty, for
obvious reasons.
rvo superior intelligence Is claimed in
behalf of tho Democratic party, though
m tins respect its members will com
pare favorably with their radical neltrh-
oors, in any eonynunlty. Rut It can
not bo denied that tho real Statesmen.
and tho solid, sound thinking men of
tho country, nro now, and havo been
Democrats, or In sympathy with its
views. Tho old Whig party had in its
ranks some nblo and sound Statesmen,
but wo look In vain for such among tho
Radicals. Let us hear no moro of such
slander, Mr. Landon, or wo will say
tnni no party mat was Honest and In
telligent would havo re-clocted you 'to
tho Senato after your character was ox

THE CASE OF COLONEL NORTH.
Slowly but surely tho record of crlino
nt Washington is unrolling Itself. It Is
ns black, but with letters moro distinct
thnu tho charred papyri which colno
from tho mud nnd cinders of Pompeii.
Mr. Sownrdi'nny try to wrlto over them
tho conservative platitudes which now
dribble from his pen, buj, from under
neath, tho story of wrong, nnd outrage,
and wanton abusoof power struggles to
tho light nt last. Reading tome of thoso
revelations, ono Is lost In wonder nt tho
patience and long suffering of tho vlclms
but wo do not wonder nt tho tenacity
with which such wrong-doers ns Soward
nnd Stanton, nnd Holt cling to tho Im
munity which tho moro possession of
office nppenrs to give. Mr. Lincoln,
whom theso recent disclosures seriously
Implicate, Is In his grave, and pity for
an untimely end softens in his rase the
voice of censure. But, while Sanford
Couovor Is In goal, and Detective Baker
Is dismissed, and Boston Corbett,who
so tiniicessarlly, or with an evil ln(tent,
shot Booth In tho barn, has sunk out
of sight, tho triumvirate at AVashlng
ton still retain high position, nnd still
nro amenable to public criticism. Those
Ideas nro prompted by the singular,
and, as wo may well describe them,
awful revelations recently mndo in New
York, In tho case of Colonel North, tho
uncontested facts of which aro briefly
these.
Colonel Samuel North, who resides,
wo presume, somewhere lu tho neigh
borhood of Coopcrstown, was, nnd Is, n
'man of entire personal respectability.
InlSOl ho was. appointed agent of tho
Stnto of Now York, to rcsldo at Wash
ington, to look after tho interests of tho
volunteer soldiers of New York lu
that locality, and to do and perform
such things as were .necessary in admin
istering to tho wants and interests of all
such connected with the nrmy, the sick
in hospitals and elsewhere. How faith
fully ho discharged those arduous du
ties, how willingly nnd efficiently lie
aided hundreds of poor soldiers, how
many acts of kindness wore shown
parents nnd friends, how impartial was
his treatment of all, may be shown by
tho united testimony of political friends
and opponents. With him were associ
ated a Mr. Colin and Mr- Marvin M.
Jones. Qn tho 27th of October, 1801,
about a fortnight befor tho Presidential
election, theso gentlemen were arrested
by military process, In Washington,
and thrown Into tho Old Capital Prison,
the chnrgo being "defrauding soldiers
of their votes." Thero they remained
till Jatiuaryjind February, 1SG5, when
they wero discharged as innocent.
Now let ns seo what happend in those
dreary three months of Illegal, wanton
imprisonment. From within, no word
of complaint was allowed to reach tho
outer world. But Governor Seymour,
hearing of tho ease, appointed a com
mission consisting of men or high stand,
ing, Messrs. Palmer, Allen, and Kelly,
who visited Washington, and with somo
difficulty wero allowed to visit theso
poor men. In tliclr report to tho Gov
ernor, tho commissioners givo this
ghastly narrative so bad that wo almost
hestitato to reproduce It :
Tho undersigned availed themselves
of tho permit granted them to visit
Colonel North, M. M. Jones, nnd Lovi
Colin. They found them lu tlio "Carrol
l'lison," 111 closo complement. They
learned that Messrs. North and Colin
had been confined together In ono room
and hud not been permitted to leave it for
a moment. duriiiL' tho four davs thev
had been prisoners, for tho purposo oV
answering tho calls of nature. They
had been supplied with meagre and
coarso prison mtions.to bo eaten in their
room wnero tnoy constantly breathed the
ioui.atmospiiero arls ng lrom tho stan
ding odor. They had no vessel out of
which to drink water, except the one
furnished them for urination. They had
but ono chair, and had slept threo of
tho nights of their confinement upon n
sack of straw 011 Hie floor. They had
not been permitted to seo a newspaper
and wcro ignorant of the cause of their
arrest. All communication between
them nnd tho outer world had boccn de
nied them. Tho. undersigned complain
ed to the acting superintendent, who
seemed humanely disposed, butjustll
ed his course by tho prison rules and tho
insiruciionsoi nissupenors. Tlio under
signed nftorwards complained of tho
treatment of theso persons to tho Judgo
Advocate, ami also to tno secretary or
War and tho Assistant Secretary, and
wero happy to learn, nt subsequent
visits to tlio prisoncrs.tnat thosoverltlos
wero relaxed and their condition nmdo
moro tolerable. But at neither of those
visits made to tho prisoners bv tho
undersigned, wero thoy permitted tosco
them without special permit, and only
111 iiiu presence ui an uiiicerouuo prison.
Uriel, however, was this Indulgence,
for wo read that "though for a, time tho
prison brutalities wero somewhat inodt-
llcd, thoy wero soon taken to a room on
the second floor, whero they wero con
fined with thirteen others, nnd whero
allowed to purchaso food lit to eat, at a
high price, ofn person supposed to havo
Intimate relations with tho bend keeper
of tho prison. On the 20th of. Novem
ber, for a purposo which will appear,
they wero taken thenco nnd placed lu
solitary confinement to subsist on hard
tack and light tlio vermin which infested
tho prison."
Alter a time, tho trial, before a mill
tary court of which tho redoutablo
hero, Abner Doublcday tho detractor
of General Meade was President, and
HoU, of course, prosecutor. During this
trial an incident occurred, which but
that it Is positively stated and proved,
wo might hesltato to believe. Holt, wo
Hirer, milling tlio evidence against theso
geutlcmenf.illlng, seems to havo devised
apian of most sinister ingenuity, using
forhlsliistrumentanlndlvldual, Charles
A. Dana, Assistant Secretary of War.
who 1ms, throughout, shown a singular
facility lor enterprises of tho kind, and
having for ono of his objects to mako
poor Mr. Lincoln do somo of tho dirty
work on tho occasion. And very dirty
It was, Mr. Colin, ono of tho parties on
trial, was taken to tho Whlto House.
and In the presence qj' the President
'pumped" Invited to turn Stnto's ovi-
denep. Tho report from which wo
quote goes on to say :
To tho desncrato oxlremllv In u-liTMi
tho udmlnlritratlon Mas driven, Mr.
Cohn was sent for by the President, who
proposed to iry on htm tho experiment
of "my plan." An Interview was had at
tho Presidential mansion, In presence
of C. A. Dann, Assistant Secretary of
War: J. A. Foster, Judgo Advocatoof
tho Military Commission, nnd Wood,
tho keeper of tho prison, when Colin
wm first given to understand that If ho
would frankly stated "nil that ho know
nbout the Illegal transactions of Colonel
North, Mr. Jones, nnd others, In con
nection wltllth(!Soltllers, votes, nohnVm
should como to him," and It was Intima
ted that ho might tho sooner bo In tho
enjoyment of Ids own liberty liberty
which longlniprlsonmentniid hard faro
had rendered doubly precious nnd ills
Irable. He asnlso put through n course
of "pumping," untl nlternnto coaxing
and bullying all designed to elicit
something which might convict North
and Jones and compromise Governor
Seymour
Wesec,somctlmosndvertised, engrav
ings of tho "Republican Court, tempore
Lincoln" "Lincoln rending tho eman
cipation proclamation," "Lincoln teach
ing Ills boy his lessons," Ac but hero
i n tableau well worth somo dark 11m
ncr'snrt. Mezzotint would hardly mako
It black enough. Tho President, Jocular
of course, for "pumping" was to him n
merry scene tho half-starved prisoner
Foster In uniform, and nbovoall, Dana
like tho detective In "Ollvo Twist,"
clinking tho handcuffs ostentatiously
nnd representing faithfully his princi
pals, Stanton, nnd Holt I Really, it Ishld
ous. And yet this scene occurred in the
nineteenth century and tho Land of
Liberty. Tho Presidential experiment

This wns on tho Gth of January, but

Colonel V. North.

saying you wero acquitted. Tho others
are convicted and centenced to impris

of War.
Very truly yours, John Ganson.
"So says the Secretary of War 1" If
Mr. Ganson tells the .truth. Mr. Stanton
tormented tho distant families of theso
poor men by a most atrocious falsehood

Colmnnd Jones wero hold in strict rnn.
flncment, suffering tho torments of sus

Stanton nlono could have been guilty of
originating sucn reiineii cruelty, as ho
alone could havo taken the position ho
did in regard to tho exchango of our
poor sufferingprisoners during tho war.
Holt may also como In for a full sharo

practico of such prescriptive intolerance,
two weeks tifter Colonel North'srclcase,-
Jones and Colin were set nt a liberty, tho
prison doors wero flung open and the
wero told to "go!" without bearing wit
them anything in tho form of official

Aim not until ! ebruary 12, lSG7,moro

HOME NEWS,
WASHiKdTOtf, March 15.
KEMEE roit THE KOUTHEllN STATES.
Tho Houso this afternoon, In Com-
nutteo of tho Whole, resumed tho con
sideration of tho Joint resolution appro
priating ono million dollars for tho re
lief of destitute persons In tho Southern
Statos. Mr. AVoodbridgo' (Radical), of
vurmont, advocated the measure, and
administered u very severe rebuko to
Butler Tor his course in attempting to
defeat It by Indirection. Tho substitute
which hosubmlttcd to-day, provides for
levying assessments on all persons in
tho South who own a certain amount of
land, and havo nil income of SGOOor
over, por annum, to support tho poorer
eias-es. At this writing no voto has
been taken. Tho indications nro that
Butler's proposition will bo voted down
by n largo majority.
COXriSCATION,
Mr. Stovons to-day called up his mo-
lion to reconsider tho voto referring his
confiscation bill, and proceeded to read
a lengthy speech In support of that
PA.
measure. Uoforo ho had half finished
It ho was compelled, on iircount of fee
bleuc?s, to resume Ids sent, ami the ro
mnlndcr of the speech wns rend from tho
Clerk's desk by Mr. M'Pherson, Clerk
of tho House. Mr. Stovons said ho had
no disposition to press tho measure this
session, nnd accordingly It wns postponed
until December next, when tho Rndlcal
party will no doubt Insist upon It ns n
Hcio codltlon of reconstruction, socnlled.
THE MIMTAttY DIIiL.
Tho obstructionists achieved n signal
triumph In tho House this nftcruoon,
by outvoting their oppnouts, nnd re
solving to ndhcro to tho amendment to
tho supplemental military bill, which
requires a ninjorlty of all tho reglstred
voters In each excluded Stnto to adopt
tho proposed constitution In accordance
with tho provision? of tho original net
of tho 2d Instant. Tho disagreement
between tho two houses on tho question
was then referred to n committee of
conference, who agreed upon a com
promise, which resulted In tho final
passage of tho measure. '
