bald; perhares,.the foremost rank. There:-
arOnany weighty,*nd , we May say,
objections to these measures on.
the score of policy and 'expedienoy
it' may be well. to inspire whether the
Federal Constitution dock ocit interpose- a:
barrier to their enactment, at lemt in
.the
-form in which they have• been brought :
forward. 3 That- instrument'-_ provides
that : • A .
No person shall be vonvicte4 9f - treason

As, has been well said, the phrase "dno
process of law" - has' a judelally settled
meaning, and . the summary "'process".
provided - for in most; if not in, all the '
con
fiscation bills, is not the " due process of
laW" required by the Constitution.
'Confiscation, according to the Consti
tution follows upon.ati attainder of treason;
The bills provide for the confiscation of
\ the .property of "rebels," but do not
specify who are to be considered and
treated as fe:bels. We are. left in the
dark as to Whether -the forfeiture is to
take place upon conviction for treason or
- some other undefined crime.
These bills provide for the confiscation
of the real and personal property of rebels
and for the sale of their estate .to loyal
purcha'sers. But underthe Constitution,
forfeiture does not take place until the
person has been tried by a. jury in the
State-where the crime was committed,and
has been found guilty. It is also provided
that the forfeiture of estate shall be-limit
ed to the life of the person attainted.—
Semitor Trumbull, in his bill, 'attempted
to meet this last requimment,but tried to
exclise.the omission of the one as to trial I
in the State where the crime was
it WaSE im
practicable.
That the sweeping confiscation bills
now before Congress-do, in ninny of their
provisions, violate the Constitution, can
not but be readily conceded by every can
did and well-informed -man. In fact,
their'authorsdo not attempt to 'justify
them in their bill extent upon 4triet con
stitutional grounds, but upon their alleg
ed neeeSsitv ' therefore they area constitu

beproved to be ,constitutional,-

Our whole division was ordered out to
day to see a man shot; helnpged to
the Lincoln Cavalry. ,It seems' he(W. H.
'Johnston)has been carrying ;news to the
rebels, concerning t our.. troops for some
tittle ; but thegent.'gOtnie,ely trilled the r

the rebel picket and gare them our eonn- -

but -
while wandering ainund . he got inside
outlines again,,and it benig in the night,
lost himself and cameactoss Col: Taylor
and two or - three othertyand thought that '
they Were rebels, and went on to tell them
the news, and what he intended t0...d0.
Ile.said that he had been. with the yan

him believe that he belonged to th'e rebel
army and asked him it' the yatakeett' were
welt armed, and lie said they . tcere '
. and
allowed his revolver to . the Colonel :who
then asked the gent to slow him his car
bine "and- saber, which. he did; and us
quick as the Cok got hold ofthem he told
him he was his prisoner,• and made him
dismount his horse and. told him, lie would
learn him better than to 'carry - news .to
the rebels. He was brought back to camp,
had his trial and was sentenced to be shot
—which was done • this afternoon and • I
saw it. Dear Brother what- would .you
think to be inarched into a field before 16'
000 Shldiers and sit on your coffin to •be
shot by Six - Inen ?..This is the way this
man was served, acid after he was shot, l i
