TUE SENTENCE OF THE CONSPIRA.-
The decision of the Military Commission,
es approved by the President, promptly
concludes the protracted proceedings of the
trial of the assassins of ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
No OM who has carefully read the evidence
and the comments of the Assistant Judge
Advocate can doubt their guilt; and the
distinction made in the punishment of the
offenders'probably approaches as nearly as
"possible to the true measure of their crimi
nality. HAROLD, ATZEROTT, Mrs. SU
MATT, fUld PAY:SE were clearly involved in
all the intricacies of the crime. Mrs. SU
'ATT was the master spirit of the whole
plot; PAYEE'S attacks upon Mr. SEWARD,
his family, and his attendant, indicate his
desperate and determined villainy; ATZE
/LOTT was fully committed to the murder of
AEDREW JoaEsox, and had shared the la
bors and participated in the counsels of
Boom' and Sun,vrr ; ILArzoLn was plainly
•
cognizant of the whole murderous scheme,
and as ready to aid any of its details as
he was to share the flight of the principal
assassin. To all intents and purposes they
were deep-dyed murderers, and they richly
deserve the fate that awaits them.
Of the guilt of Munn, O'LAUGHLIN, and
ARNOLD, thDre can be no doubt, but as
they were not as closely- and clearly identi
fied with all the preparations and bloody
deeds of the assassination, they are sen
tenced to imprisonment for life.
SPANGLER., having performed but a sub
ordinate part of the drama, escapes with
imprisonment at hard labor for six years.
The universal experience of civilization
establishes the necessity for the severe pun
ishment of dangerous criminals. Our an
nals have never been disgraced with the
record of a more outrageous and horrible
crime than that for which these abandoned
villains have been justly sentenced.
Who is John A. Einghnnli
To the Editor of the Press:
Sin; In common with thousands of my
.coun
trymen, I have taken a deep interest in the
great trial, for several months past in progress
at Washington, of, the alleged conspirators in
the assassination of our great and good martyr-
President. From the first I hare watched its
successive phases and revelationa ; have read,
line for line, with . critical scrutiny, the mass
of testimony, the arguments of the counsel,
the pleas of the learned Holt, the decisions of
the Court, and all that has related to it. To
this I have been prompted by the heinousness
of the crime, and by a sincere desire to arrive
in my own mind, at some well-founded con
elliSiOn, both as to the guilt of the prisoners,
anti the constitutionality of the Court that is
trying them.
And now, in this connection, grant me space
in your columns to give expression to mymost
unqualified admiration of the great argu
ments, on these two main points, presented to
--tiT mst cßp , rt"bL the Special Judge Advocate
11114;e of my reading, I have known o
uneliOnS that have so literally led me Captive.
For careful analysis, logical argumentation,
Profound and far-reaching research; for over
whelming nnravelment of complications that
would have involved an ordinary mind only
in inextricable bewilderment, and for a literal
rending to tatters of all the metaphysical sub
tletick ef the avrax_Ot.l- , a.nt-etyprett o ns:
the other side, I know of no , two pro( u
in the English language superior to these.
They arc, literally, as the spear of :Ithuriel, -
dissolving the tiiOw
Not Locke or 'Bacon were
more profound; not Daniel Webster was
clearer and more penetrating; not Chilling
worth wag more logical. I feel sure,tbat the
author of these two unrivalled papers must
be one of the greatest legal minds in America,
and must be, too, one of our rising statesmen.
But who is John A. Bingham, who, by his in
clu.s;try and learning, displayed on this won
derful trial, has`placed' the country under
such a heavy debt of Obligation I Hemaybewell
known to others, moving in a public sphere,
like yourself, but to me, so absorbed in a dif
ferent line of duty, he has appeared so sud
denly, and yet with such vividness, that I long
to know some, at least, of his antecedents.
The question of our esteemed corres
pondent is natural to one who has not,
probably, watched the individual actors on
the great stage of public affairs with the
interest of the historical and political stu
dent. We are not surprised that the argu
ments of Mr. Brsou.km before the Military
Commission should have filled him with
delight. It was worthy of the great sub
ject confided to that fine statesman by the
Government, and of his own fame. Mr.
Bazar(Alt was born in Pennsylvania, and
is exactly fifty years of age. He had the
advantage of a thorough academical educa
tion, and before studying the profession of
the law, spent two years in a printing.office.
Admitted to the bar in Ohio (where he
removed in early life) when he was about
twenty-five, he rose rapidly in the confi
dence of his seniors, and in the favor of the
people. His keen and searching logic, his!
clear and condensed style of speaking, his
studious habits, the fearlessness of his
character, and the morality of his conduct,
called him into the public councils--a field
in which these great attributes were fre
quently displayed. He was first chosen to
Congress in 1854, and sat for his district
from that year to the each of the thirty
seventh Congress in 1863, when he was
called to Washington by President LINCOLN,
first as Solicitor of the Court of Claims, and
afterwards as special Judge Advocate
General. For nearly two years he has been
the associate of the Judge Advocate
General HOLT, and with him has
investigated, reviewed, and decided many
important eases arising out of the rebel
lion, especially abuses of trust on the part
of officials and contractors. The printed
reports of these eminent patriots are in
fused with rare judicial learning, and stern
and exalted patriotism. No traitor has
long plotted, and no mercenary has long
swindled the treasury, when these bold
and unselfish men were called to de
fine the measure of punishment. The
comprehensive exposure- of the secret Cop
perhead conspiracy in the Northwest, by
Judge HOLT, in 1804, is a single specimen
of the method of unearthing the political ma
lignants; and the wholesome fruits of that
development fix the priceless value of the
skill that compelled it. When the assas
sins of Mr. LINCOLN were sent for trial be
fore the military court by President Jos
sox, the Government wisely left the whole
management to Judge Hour and his elo
quent associate, Mr. BINGHAII ; and to the
latter was committed the stupendous labor
of sifting the mass of evidence, of replying
to the corps of lawyers for the defence, of
netting forth the guilt of the accused, and of
vindicating the policy and the duty of the
Executive in an exigency so novel and so
full of tragic solemnity. The crime was
SO enormous, and the trial of those Who
committed it so important in all its
issues, immediate, contingent, and re
mote, as to awaken an excitement that
embraced all nations. The murder itself
.was almost forgotten by those who wished
to screen the murderers, and the most
wicked theories were broached and sown
broadcast by men who, under the cloak of
reverence for what they called the law,
toiled with herculean energy to weaken the
arm of the Government, extended in time
of war to save the servants . of the people
being slaughtered by the assassins in public
places, and tracked even to their firesides by,
the fiends of slavery. These poisons of
plausibility, blunting the sharpest horrors
of any age, and sanctifying the most hellish
offences, required an antidote as swift to
cure. Mr. BINGITAM'B two arguments,
alluded to by our correspondent, have
supplied the remedy. They are monu
ments of reflection, research, and argumen
tation ; and they are presented in the lan
guage of a scholar. In the great volume of
proof and counter-proof; rhetoric and con
troversy, that preserves the record of this
great trial, the efforts of Mr. BtuallAli win
be read with an eager interest. That they
come after all that has been said against the
Government, is rather an inducement to
their more satisfactory consideration. For
from that study the American citizen must
realize how irresistible is Truth when in
&Inflict with Falsehood, and how poor and
'puerile are all the tricks of the lawyers op
posed to the moral power of the Patriot.
MONARCHICAL RULE.
When a man, in any position, conducts
himself so as to raise a doubt whether he is
mad or bad is his are the errors of
head or heart—it is charitable to give him
the benefit of the doubt, and simply believo
in his insanity. When such a man hap
pens to be on the throne, with a power of
making misgoverned millions miserable by
his misconduct, he becomes a public nut
same wlfich it is proper to abate by all
proper means. When a discussion took
place between two British statesmen con
cerning the execution of CHARLES the
First, one. asked, "By what laws did
the House of Commons of 1649 bring their
King to trial, and, on condemnation,
place him under the headman's axe ?" and
the other replied, "By all the laws which
he had left them." The case of misgovern
ed England in 1649, very closely resembles
that of Prussia in 1865--in both cases, an
hereditary monarch claiming to be abso
lute lord and master of the people, by
"right divine "—dispensingwith, or rather
riding over the laws of the realm when they
were opposed to his own tyrannicide.
CHARLES STUART, time and place consider
ed, was not more pretentious, grasping, and
absolute than now is King Wiemass of
Prussia—whose merited capacity is of the
smallest, being a mixture of obstinacy and
ambition. While his military prowess, on
which he chiefly piques himself, would just
suffice to make him a tolerable, though cor
pulent drill sergeant in an infantry regi
ment That this man has been so long to
lerated has-been a matter of surprise to the
world. But the Prussian nature is phlegma
tic, and requires an immense amount of
wrong to arouse it into action. One day,
ere long, we have no doubt, the present an
tocrat of Prussia will find himself on the
wrong side of the door—a discrowned mo
narch, obscurely living in some foreign land,
under a private name, and makingone more
of
"These Lords of a day,
Forgotten as fools, or remembered. as worse.”
Prussia was an absolute monarchy until
1848, when the late King, FREDERIC
Wiretap , " IV. (well know by his devotion
to the Champagne which bears Witneo
CLIQUOT'S name and brand,) becoming
alarmed at the progress of liberal opinions,
convened a national assembly, and pro
mised to establish a constitutional form of
Government. The Parliament consists of
an upper chamber, or Herrenhaus, with
230 members, which, for the most part, is
aristocratic, and of a lower chamber, with
352 members, elected by the people. Fol
lowing the example of the United States
and England, the lower, or popular branch
of the Prussian Legislature exercises the
right of controlling the public purse ; that is,
as it alone Can originate money votes, it
regulates the public expenditure. In 1862,
however, King WILLIAM, successor to the
Cliquot-loving monarch, desired to increase
his army. In time of peace, the Prussian
• emv_numbers 191,033, of. all arms, and in
time of -- "*lir, ace 3,0,1 2 .; nesnies, (in war
time,) of 153,923 men at the d6pOts—
making a total of 634,421. Now, consider
ing that the whole population of Prussia is
only 18,500,000, this enormous army draws
one soldier out of every - thirty-one inhabi
portion which is beyond all corn - jilt - it - What: ,
ever.
01*somethfici
raelli t a l g a iga r el
of Hohenzollern-Bravdenburg. In 1701,
when Prussiawas elevatedinto a monarchy,
the head of that family exchanged his
electoral hat for a royal crown, and, though
what the world calls "a great man," the
twist in his mind was evident. His two
next successors were undoubtedly insane—
FREDERIC Wreraapi I. being publicly so
on the subject of tall soldiers. Then came
FnmEnic the Great, of whom, and of the
family generally, CARLYLE has given
an account more truthful than flatter
ing. FREDERIC WILLIAM 11., who reigned
from 1786 to 1707, had method in
his madness, for he enriched himself by
the second and third partitions of Poland,
FREDEEze WILLIAM lIL was the victim of
a depressed condition of mind, which, for
many years, left him a puppet in the hands
of Count HARDENBERG, his able minister.
FREDERIC WILLIAM IV., who succeeded in
1840, had been drunk or insane for some
years before his death, in 1861; and the
present monarch, who declared, at his Co
ronation, that he actually represented the
Almighty in his royal functions, seems just
as much out of his mind as any of the race.
A straight waist-coat would suit him better
than the purple robe of State.
So thought the Lower Chamber of the
Prussian Parliament, when the King de
manded an increased money-vote, in order
to augthent his military force. The mem
bers elected by, the people, about one in
..
every two hundred and fifty having a vote,
respectfully declined to grant the money,
and a collision between the monarch and
the Chamber then commenced, which
seems> likely to cniminate, ere long,
either in the autocracy of the ruler or
a revolution headed by the Lower Cham
ber. The contest between the King
and this branch of the Legislature was
in a manner suspended, during the late war
with Denmark,. but has lately been re
newed. It should be mentioned that the
Herrenhaus, or Upper Chamber,
which is
intensely aristocratic, has sided with the
King from the first. The Lower Chamber
refining to vote the budget, the King has
gone on collecting taxes, without the slight
est parliamentary sanction therefor, and,
when the parliamentary session lately cloied,
his Majesty, in a terrible rage, frankly snub
bed the deputies, thanked the Upper Cham
ber, and declared that his Government (the
head of which is M. DE Bismancii,) would
continue to act in absolute defiance of the
votes of the Representative Chamber. The
President of that branch gave the King
quite as much as he received—boldly an
swering that the Prussian Government was
endeavoring to transform the constitutional
system into an absolute military power, and
he declared all such efforts would be foiled
by the constitutional perseverance of the
people.- A little time may show whether
the unconstitutional conduct of his Prus
sian Majesty will be tolerated by his
subjects. They have been very patient,
but there is a limit to popular endurance.

A CORRESPONDENT from lowa sends us
"five reasons" for leniency to the con
spirators, some of which are novel and
worthy of consideration. We apprehend
there is no danger of extreme severity in
this country ; all the tendencies are in
an Opposite direction, There is no other
nation under the stun, where the most
merc if u l would not prescribe severer
punishments to the authors of such .a
rebellion as we have crushed, than the
most sanguinary are disposed to recom
mend in America. Something is due to
the dignity of our country and to the
establishment of a precedent, by which
it will be made cleitr that rebellions can be
crushed by legal as well as by military
authority. But the bloodthirsty spirit that
delights in the infliction of wanton suffer
ing, is almost unknown among the loyal
men of our country.

A row has broken out among the "De
mocracy" of Ohio, because the State Execu
tive Committee, at its recent session in Co
lumbus, refused to recommend for the
adoption of the coming State ConventiOn,
is platform concocted by that avowed sym
pathizer with secession, Hon. AIEXANDER
LONG (formerly member of. Congrbss from
Cincinnati, whose ultra Southern speech is
doubtless remembered by many of our
readers,) in conjunction with congenial
spirits. LONG & CO. propose to regain
power hi the Northwest by boldly advocat
ing before the people, State-rights doctrines
as they were tinderstood in the South be
fore the war—the very theories, indeed, on
Which the whole disunion movement was
based ; so that everybody, to use the
words of those Northern fire-eaters"; shall
"cease'to be afraid of secession and
nullification." This notion they desire to
follow up by forcing "free trade, hard
money, unilbrm taxes, and a cheap, shn
pie, and responsible government," with
the addendar that " white mastery and
negro slavery is, in the South, the very
best form of their society, and that any
other is not only undesirable, but incom
patible with the negro's existence," This
platform, stated at length in a letter for
mally signed by LONG and eight other
"leaders," was urgently supported by two
members of the Executive Committee and
opposed by six others present, not on ac
count of any avowed opposition to, the prin
ciples laid down, but because it was "out
of order" for the Committee to dictate to
the coming Convention t The Bourbonie
art of leaving nothing and forgetting no
thing was too freely displayed in the doc
trines to suit even the " panced " views of
VALLAnoronAar, who opposed them. Hisin
dignant colleagues have, therefore, resolved
to secede from an organization that they
allege is afraid and ashamed to avow its true
sentiments, and they propose to run au in
dependent State • ticket that will be truly
"Democratic." Thus LONG & CO. are to
have a platform of a pattern that would
have suited South Carolina in the days of
CALHOUN exactly ; and VALLANDIGRAM is
to illustrate, at the approaching Conven
tion, how far the mighty events of the last
four years will compel him to disguise his
true convictions in deference to an en
lightened public sentiment.
LINCOLN MONUMENT FTIND.
It has been suggested to us, by a practical
man, that the readiest way of raising suffi
clog funds for a National Monument, to
commemorate the virtues, services, and
martyrdom of ABRAHAM LINCOLN, has not
yet been adopted. His idea is that a penny
subscription should be entered into,
throughout the length and breadth of the
whole country—and if every one, man,
woman, and child, whose personal unity
goes to swell the sum total of our popula
tion, now far exceeding thirty millions,
were to contribute only a single penny, the
result would indeed be a National Tribute
to the memory of him who, under God,
erased from this great Republic's escutcheon
the dishonoring blot of Slavery, and was
smitten to death, by the assassin's hand,
when his great work of humanity was
accomplished. The sum of $300,000 could
easily be raised, in a single day and by a
simultaneous effort in all parts of the
United States, and every, one would have
the satisfaction of contributing equally to
it. We throw out the suggestion as we re
ceived it, believing that it is practicable as
well as practical.
OUR SISTERS OF MERCY.
Some ten years ago, while France, Eng
land, Turkey, and Sardinia were battling
against the might of Russia, no small ad-.
miration was excited by the fact that FLo-
REECE NIORTINGALE, then known only as
a young lady of gentle blood, high culture,
and abounding humanity, had quitted her
English home, in order to attend upon the
wounded and sick in the hospitals in the
Crimea, and that her exatnple had lieen_
followed by other ladies, who acted with
the best results, as self-appointed nurses—the
blessings of the sufferers and theiriiimt
zood..thouchts_ahmidantivrewnrinnm
ti
thing is done upon a vast scale, it was no
one, but a whole brigade of self-devoted,
1 , ;.‘1-hearted.. and ready-handed women
who voluntarily aeteCt the part of FLORENCE
nenTINGALE, during the four terrible.
years of war front which we have - just
emerged.. They were to be found every
where, summoned by the living instinct of
humanity—in the hospitals, in the camp,
on the battle-field, on the working com
mittees of the Sanitary COmmission—
everywhere doing good, everywhere minis
tering angels, when pain racked the body
and anguish pressed the brow. They sought
no reward ; they have been blessed by the
gratitude of thousands whom they relieved ;
they did their duty as Christian women,
and the consciousness of having done it is
the best repayment they could desire or
receive.
Still, something should be done to ac
knowledge the national obligation to these,
the true Sisters of Mercy. To each woman
who personally devoted herself, as we have
stated, to alleviate the sufferings of our
brave wounded and sick during the war,
some testimonial ought to be presented.
It is not sufficient that their names and
services should be recorded on a special
Roll of Honor and Humanity, but some
tangible acknowledgment should also be
made. The ladies themselves, enrolled
and organized as a , noble Legion of Hu
manity, should be distinguishable by some
badge, to be worn so that all might in
stantly recognize the wearer as having as
sisted to alleviate the sufferings of our brave
men during the recent war. A cross—a
brooch—a medal would suffice ; and, on all
occasions, public or private, precedence
should be given to the possessor of this dis
tinguishing badge.
In this respect, we should not be above
following the good example of several fo
reign nations. In Austria, Bavaria, Bel
a.um, Hanover, Portugal, Prussia, Swe
den, and Italy, there are several Orders,
exclusively for women who have distin
guished themselves by good deeds. The
Order of Louisa, in Prussia—a decoration
for services rendered by women to the sick
and wounded in hospitals and on the field—
is considered one of the most honorable in
Europe. It is -presented equally to single
or married ladies; and the badge, a small
gold cross, with black enamel, is worn on
the left breast, suspended by the ribbon of
the Iron Cross (the reward of valor;) and
when a lady thus decorated passes by any
station, the sentinel on the guard is bound
to give a military salute to the wearer.
Surely, we ought not to be above paying,
in some such manner as this, a small in
stalment of the vast debt which is due to
our noble Sisters of Mercy !
As it might appear invidious to mention
particular names of Pennsylvania ladies
who have participated in the good work of
humanity, we simply submit a general
proposition to do them honor in some such
manner as this. Others may suggest a
better mode, but the leading point is to ex
press the national gratitude, in some ob
servable manner, to those who have done
so much and so well, in deeds of mercy,
during the recent war. Of course, each
recipient should be required to substantiate
her claim, and this can be done without
difficulty.

trated—a sin which could only have been
conceived, executed, and perMitted 'in a
society whose very foundations were built
upon crime. That evil has been washed
away—the people are emerging from a
baptism of blood, purified and strengthened
into a new and better life. The ancient
wrong has been thrust aside, and now they
are Making ready to accomplish the work
that has been allotted to them, and they
are strong for the endeavor, because, at
length, they may labor with hands clean

unrighteous past depart from a laud that re

and crime, of which these evil-doers were
but the natural results, fearful exponents,
and damning consequence.
The Five Reasons
To the Editor of The Press:
.Sin: There are five reasons why the Ameri
can people may not take the life of any evil
doer connected with the rebellion, even to
satisfy strictest justice--five reasons that
change strictest justice to mercy:
1. Slaveholders, and those who have been
broUght up under the influence of slavery,
Cannot be held amenable to the Civilized code
of morals, They never have been so held, and
they cannot be so now. Henry Clay was not
so held in the matter of duelling; nor Thomas
Jefferson, nor thousands of others, in the mat
ter of licentiousness with slaves. Slavery is
a relic of barbarism, and is barbarism, and its
influence is to barbarize those who come in
contact with it, and its effect, in thousands of
instances, to make them savages. Savage In
dians, in carrying on their wars, are not held
responsible to the: laws of civilization, and no
more can savage shiveholders be in carrying on -
this war. The inhuman treatment of our pri
soners, the butchery of our colored troops,
the massacre at Lawrence, and nameless other
atrocities of the war, were all savage, and in
perfect keeping with the whole savagery of
slavery for the past two humdred years, and
with all the street fights, shooting affrays,
bowie-knife rencounters, open-day mwdet,s;
and brutal mobs which have grown out of
slavery, and in particular with the hunting
of slaves with bloodhounds and btirning_them
at the stake ! Slavery is savage, and the world
will yet pronounce that savages inaugurated
and carried on a war of rebellion to sustain it.
11. We of the North have been guilty of this
KaterY, as well as they of the South. From the
first we have done almost nothing but foster
and pamper and pet their " peculiar institu
tion. We may not now, then, turn round, hold
up our hands in horror, and proteSt that we
are innocent, and they are perfect monsters.
To clamor for their blood for their fidelity to
slavery, when we have so long kept them com
pany in that fidelity, and often gone beyond
them in our example Of it, would stamp us
monsters, pharisees, hypocrites, and stupend
ously and immeasurably unjust. Not to.be
magnanimous, would be a small thing; but to
do this would he, in the absolutest significanee
and emphasitof human language, not to be por
sibly just. In particular, the servile North led
and lured the South into this very rebellion.
Had not the whole history of the North given
the South to believe that we should - at last
yield to her threat of secession, or, at least,
that a a-efficiently large party in the North
would side with that secession to make it suc
cessful, the rebellion would never have been
inaugurated. So that we have made the very
rebels we now cry out to punish ! And James
Duchanan, Horatio Seymour, C. L. Vallandig
ham, Fernando Wood, and others lesser, are
more guilty .Of the rebellion - ,than all the
Southern rebels put together—yet who thinks
of taking their lives? No more—not so - much
—think of asking to have the lives of any of
those rebels taken! .And the editors of the La
Crosse Democrat and Chicago Times, and. other
similar Nortbern journals, together with
numbers of Democratic perambulating ore.
tors, all of whom made a trade of inflaming
the public mind against Abraham Lincoln as
deserving of assassination, are more guilty of
the murder of the late President than Booth
or any of the eonSpiratora, whom they, in part,
influeneed to become their instruments—yet
who thinks of taking their lives I NO more—
not so much—think of asking to have the lives
of any of those conspirators taken! No,
brethren, no ; there is a better way
.of testify
ing against all these wrongs, a better way of
tiding justice to all these parties, ourselves
with the rest, thus :
111. Pardoning shweholders, on the ground
that they are savages, will still be to indict on
them the utmost extreme Of punishment for
what could be so terrible as to be so branded
before the world? And pardoning them
on the ground that we have been a party
to their slavery, will also be both punishment
and pardon—punishment to tis, as having been
guilty with them, but pardon to them t , as no
snore than that punishment to us, seeing the
guilt has been &minion to both. And pardon
ing rebels will be the same punishment and
pardon
_of them £1.11,'
oceause we
•.,paillnenifor being what we helped make
them. And pardoning Southern rebels will be
forevermore and most terribly, punishing Bu
chanan, Seymour, 'Valiant - 110am, Wood, *.t Co.,
by concluding them so much more guilty of the
rebellion than even those rebels themselves.
And sparing the lives of the conspirators will
be in the same way punishing OurSelVeS 01 the
North, first, for all our complicity with this
slavery, out of which the conspiracy me
diately grew ; secondly, for our hand in de-
Veloping the rebellion, into which at last

immediately sprung ; and thirdly, for our fur
ther having had a great and formidable party
at the North obstructing the Government in
its efforts to put down the rebellion during all
the time of its raging, even to the day of its
close. And still more will sparing the lives of
the conspirators be terribly punishing those
editors and orators who clamored for Lincoln's
assassination, as forever writing them down
far more guilty of the deed than those who
became their Weds But thus, shall all we who
wish to bear testimony against wrong, be both
just and magnanimous—just to ourselves, as
having been ourselves IR the wrong, and mag
nanimous to others, as not possibly more in
the wrong than we, but chiefly in it because of
our influencing. This must be the sentiment
—that all parties have sinned together, and
now all must repent together, that by the
united efforts of all, the evil of the past may be
atoned for by the good of the future. This is
to be noble, just, - magnanimous, right, all
round.
IV. Southern slaveholders have always been
educated to regard their slavery as more
than all else, and to be upheld and preseived
at the expense of all else, even their religion,—
even the National Government. Religion had
to be sacrificed to slavery, that is, cut down to
be consistent with it; and the Union had to be
subordinate to slavery, that is, to State rights,
which were only for the sake of slavery. Fealty
to slavery became the one grand duty, till at
last, treason to the Government was lost in
that fealty to slavery. Instead of being treason
to the Union, it was fidelity to the South, to
State rights, and to the institution for which
both the South and State rights existed. Let
the North put itself in the South's place, before
it proposes to hang a single traitor under the
plea of justice I
V. There is no possible need of taking a life.
The rebellion is dead; its cause is dead.
Slavery is no more. Paramount State rights
have disappeared. The supremacy of the Union
is established. Future secession is out of the
question. The conspirators are in our hands,
and can be, as they ought to be, restrained of
their liberty to do further harm, by incarcera
tion. So can bad, dangerous men among the
rebels, if necessary, in view of what they have
done, be punished with incarceration. But no
life need be taken; no blood need to flow. Cle
mency to this extent cau be &own to Jeffer
son Davis himself.

thanks to the managers of the Hariou and
Gettysburg Railroad. The cattle cars with
which the passengers on that occasion were
accommodated, were large . and airy, and the
pine of which the seats were made was of the

Another Speech by General Sherman.
On Saturday last Major General Sherman
visited the Merchants) Exchange, Cincinnati,
and addressed that body as follows :
"Gentlemen: I have come here simply on
your bidding. I have no contracts to give out.
I have been in the Commissary Department,
not here, but in St. Louis, before I went to car
ry on war in the Smith and West. That war is
happily ended, and the credit. is due partly
to me, partly t to the soldiers, and partly to
yourselves, or I recognize the fact that war
cannot be carried on without citizens who
must pay the bill. It is not a note in hank but
it will come to you in the shape of taxes. No
country has such a future before: it as ours,
and in that future commerce has to play a
prominent part. You can send your goods to
New Orleans and thence to all creation.
"I want to go wherever I choose in this coun
try i and if any one should try to stop me frond
going, down the Mississippi or anywhere else,
I should shoot him. (Laughter.] -But a short
time ago you were told that your boats could
not go below Vicksburg. The country at the
mouth of the Mississippi was purchased at at
cost of fifteen million dollars. Tennessee and
other States had before declared that if they
were denied the right of way they would fili
buster through. We have a right to every
drop of -water in the Mississippi, and, thank
God, we have made that right good. In doing
this I have simply been your agent. It has
been accomplished by the acts of soldiers.
General Grant and myself have acted together.
The river is now clear, and you can Send your
whisky and corn to New Orleans, anti get your
price for them. I suppose that your curiosity
to see me bas been gratified, and I will there
fore retire."
The National Quar'terly,ltevleW.
The twenty-first uttinber, irlfielf forms the
first portion.of the twelfth semi-annual vo
lume, contains articles upon the foll O
wing subjects: The Celtio Druids ;
Wallen
stein; United States Banking System, Past
and Present ; The Now York Bar-;-Charles
°Tenor ; Phases of English Statesmanship ;
Modern Correctors of the Bible ; Ancient and
Modern Discoveries in Medical 'Science ; The
Lessons and Results of the Rebellion, and some
forty pages of miscellaneous notices and criti
cisms of new books.
It will be admitted that there is no want of
variety in the articles heremanied.
Dr. Edward J. Sears, the accomplished and
erudite editor, is author, we presume, of the
opening paper upon the Celtic Druids, a sub
ject hitherto not made familiar to the public
at large, and, indeed, generally shunned, from
its difficulties, by most writers except the
hard-working Germans, who seem to glory in
groping amid the obscurity of antiquity.
Here, at last, justice is done to the Druids, and
their proper .plaee in history is given them,
and, also, literature, for Dr. Scars claims for
them not only that they wrote, but that "the
Ogam alphabets are undoubtedly Druidi
cal." Pliny called the Druids "the Gaulish
Magi" and Cies= hag recorded a decided
opinion of their knowledge and influence, be
sides crediting them (before the Christian era)
with belief in the immortality of the. soul.
Gibbon and other great authorities also eulo
gize them highly. They introduced the Bre
ton laws into Ireland, and invented trial by
jury, practiced in the same country centuries
before Alfred, who received part of his edeca
tion in the green island, and adopted it into
the jurisprudence of England. Finally, we are
told by the ReViewer---" The most uncompro
mising of their enemies admit that the Druids
did good in their time—that as instructors of
youth, who occupied nearly a quarter of a cen
tury in qualifying themselves for that high
oflice, they contributed largely to the de
velopment of the human mind. Those who
knew them best appreciated their efforts and
regarded them as benefactors ; if they were so
to them; they are to us; for certain it is that
all they added to the world's stock Of know
ledge has not been lost, whether we believe
that they discovered any particular science or
not."
The notices .of Wallenstein, the great Gor
man soldier-statesman, made immortal by the
tragic muse of Schiller; and of Charles O'Conor,
the living head of the New York har, are
Meiitially different in tone, but coincide in
honoring eminent Men: The first is a life of
Wallenstein ; the other is a character of
o , Conor. A man who has been forty years at
the bar, more powerful than popular, but
:always employed because of his power, must
Present many points to the observant critic.
There is a great deal, too, that is personal in
the paper on the Phases of English States
manship—a commentary upon a collection of
Edinburgh Review articles by the late Sir
George Cornwall Lewis, but really more jute
resting than the articles themselves. We learn
from it, what we previously suspected, that
mug before his death Macaulay had abandoned
his first grand intention of tracing the history
of England from the two last of the Stuart
Kings, "within the memory of men now
living ;>7 that fs, to the close of the American
war, in 1783. He did not despair of connecting
his own book with Lord Stanhope's "History
Of England from the Peace Of Utrecht to the
Peace- of. Versailles;" that is, from the year
1713, the twelfth of Queen Anne's reign, to
1783, the twenty-fourth of George 111.
Here is a very important extract on the fact
that the English Tories pay far less regard to
birth and station, in selecting their leaders,
titan the Whigs do
"Mr. Pitt and Mr. Percival were the younger
sons of earls. But we question whether the
Whigs would not have been shocked at the
idea of placing either of them at the head of
a Wing Ministry instead of some Rockingham
or Portland. Mr. Addington had no claim to'
family at all. Since then, among . the promi.
nent leaders of all ranks of the Conservative
party, have been Mr. Canning, Mr. Mr. Van
sittart, Mr. HUSkiSSOII, Sir Robert Peel, Mr.
Goniburn, Mr. Rerries, Mr. Gladstone, Mr.
Disraeli, Sir John Pakington, Mr. Walpole,
and Mr. Sotheron Estcourt. Two of these
were Prime Ministers, three leaders of the
House of Commons, and all of them Secretaries
of State or Chancellors of the Exchequer.
"The Whigs can show no such record. To go
back to Sir Robert Walpole he was, for a long
time, kept in an humble position, and upon his
return to office, after the bursting of the South
Sea bubble, it is doubtful whether his noble
colleagues intended him to be much higher
than Craggs and Aislabie had been, until they
found in him a master. From his time until
the rise of Pitt, the. Ministers were almost
all members of the aristocracy. The elder'
Pitt's life is one long history of aristo.
erotic Jealousy and exclusion. George Greu-
Tulle was the son of a peeress and brother of a
peer. Charles Fox was a peer's son and a
grandson of a Duke of Richmond; and even
he never attained the position of Prime Minis
ter. The story of Mr. Burke is well known. Mr.
Brougham was hardly more than tolerated by
the Whigs until he became Lord Chancellor.
Mr. Charles Grant, like Mr. Gladstone, came
full grown from the Tories. Sir Cherie§ Wood
and Sir Francis Barillgmarried into the Greys,
and the English people have generally con.
sidered this their principal claim to office.
Mr. Labouchere married a lady of the Howard
family. Sir George Lewis deserved everything
he ever attained, but we fear that what at
tracted attention to him for the Chancellor
ship of the Exchequer in 1855 was as much his
being brother-in-law of the Earl of Clarendon
as his great merit. Mr. Cardwell first rose to
importance as a Peelite, and owed his promo
tion to the terms of the coalition between the
- 18•, • , - n him, the oil
James Graham, Mn. Spring Mee and 7
W illiani Molesworth—all of very
among the gentry. None of them ever
led the House or Commons. The Whigs
have had no prime minister since Sir Robert
Walpole, or leader of the House of Commons
since the first William Pitt, who has not been
peerype,son of s e: peer; and since Mr. Gren
ville's,rdSig?iation, tv century ao, all their
prime - '-ministers '-misteis hare been "lords." Mr.
Sheridan, Dlr. Tierney, Mr. Poulett ThOMSon,
Mr. Macaulay, Mr. Charles Buller, Mr. Milner
Gibson, and many others whom we might
enumerate, howeVer serviceable and dis
tinguished they may have been, were early
taught that the highest offices belonged to the
great families and their connections. At least
they never atttained them. It looks now as if
the Liberals could not escape from Mr. Glad
stone, at least as their leader in the House of
Commons. But; eminent as he is, we shall be
very much surprised if they do not attempt
to confine him to this, anti to make him yield
the premiership to Lord Clarendon or Lord
Grenville —a pupilage to which, we trust he
will never consent,'
The characters of Castlereagh, Canning,
Grenville, Grey, Peel, Russell, Derby, and Pal
merston are drawn here with a bold and free
touch.
We have not left ourself much space for as
particular notice of other articles as they de
even literature must not be treated of at too
much length. But we desire to recommend
to especially careful perusal, the able article
here on the United States Banking System, as
it was and as it is. Of the present system the
writer Says :
serve. But daily journals have limits, and
The system was born of the rebellion; it
has grown in sympathy with, and in depend
ence upon, the growing success of the Federal
arms. Under the auspices of our present able
Secretary, it is certain to be matured with the
recovered authority of the government of the
Union. Mr. McCulloch is entitled to much
more credit for the advantages accruing from
our present excellent banking system, and
the universal confidence with which it has
been received, than the
_public is aware ; for
he is not a politician or office - seeker, but an
unostentatious,' thoughtful, business mail,
whose only care is his duty, and whom the
study of years and ample - practical experience
have made wellnigh perfect in the philoso
phy of currency."

name as Lavina Coehenour. She labors under
the impression that her mother is murdered,
and that those about her have Concealed the
place of her interment. She also fears that.
those who are her associates will murder her.
So intent is she in search of the body of her

finding the body of her mother, or,

Davis' Southern Confederacy by General WC
eon's recent capture in Georgia of documents
and archives containing a record of the pro
ceedings of the rebel ]provisional government
at Montgomery, Alabama. They show that
the rebels lost no time, when once they got
fairly at work, in organizing their provi
sional government, which they had in full
operation in less than five weeks from the
assembling Of their " national Congress
or Convention. In the work of framing
their Constitution the documents show they
had considerable tinkering and discussion.
There was a strong-feeling in favor of naming
their Southern establishment the "Republic
of Washington," whiali was only defeated by
a majority' of one vote in favor of the title
"Confederate States of America.. There were
long debates.over propositions to insert in the
preamble of the Constitution a recognition of
the divinity of both the Old and New Testa

provigon enforcing the observance of the
Christian Sabbath. The -fernier is ninierstooti

GET orr THAT STIIMP.--AMOngSt the paroled
rebel soldiers who came up on the steamer
Lady Gay on Tuesday, was a man a little over
seven and a half feet in height, started
out with the Missouritroops at the commenee
ment of the war, and stuck to them until the
" dog was dead," and never received a scratch.
Soon after he was mustered into the rebel ser
vice, the regiment to which he belonged aP
peered before the Colonel on dress parade, and
the Colonel, who prided himself on the flee ap
pearance and g ood size of his men, cast his
eyes along the line with a smile of self-satis
faction, until they rested on the towering form
of the tall Missmirian, when he knit his brows,
and called out fiercely in thunder-tones, " Get
Off that stump, you impertinent scoundrel or
I'll order you under arrest." Tho soldiers
looked- at eaeh other, wondering what the Col
onel meant, but no • one moved. Finding his
authority treated with disrespect, he fairly
boiled with rage, and advancing to the soldier,
he exclaimed, " What in 'the devil are you
standing on 11l The soldier respectfully re
plied, "On my feet, Colonel." The Colonel was
completely taken back,, as he surveyed this
tall specimen of humanity from head to foot
in blank amazement ; he mumbled an apology
for his rude remarks and hastened away, leav
ing his men convulsed with laughter. "Get
on that stump" became a by-word with the
- Missouri rebels, and it will no doubt live as
long as the long Missourian.—Cairo Dento6i.di.
A LETTER FROM JOHN C. BRECRINEIDGE..—•
John C. Breckinridge writes a letter from
Cuba to lion. E. M. Bruce, member of the late
Confederate Congress, dated May 15,1865, from
which the following is extracted, viz : "I have
heard no news from the outer world since I
disbanded, near Woodstock, Georgia, the last
Confederate force east Of the Chattahoochee.
I trust ther„t_will be wisdom enough. in the
councils at Washington City not to drive a
brave and suffering people to the remedies
that spring trom despair. Every man should
now exert ll the influence he possesses to
make the present cessation of hostilities per
manent anci honanable, and let it be remeni
bered tbatthere can be molesting peace found
ed upon cruelty and oppression."
The Bat is filename of the newspaper rival

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
The oil-stock business Is still in its transition
state. The wonderful success that many of the
companieshave attained in the past, the remarka
ble swiftness with which fortunes were made by the
lucky, stimulated speculation to an extraordinary
extent. In the beginning everything was favorable,
hilt too much speculation has affected the whole oil
producing - occupation, and at the present time the
petroleum interest is flattened out. Oil StOekB are
discouraged, and buyers are cautious. Undoubtedly
many of the moonshine corporations which have
been started will have to fail. They will exhaust
the means and patience of their stockholders. The
latter will resolve to pay uo more mouey, con
sidering what they have already contributed as
inevitably lost, Either a few men will get the
management of them, or they wilt be sold
out, and those who come in at the death will
bag the game. And yet, with all these disad
vantages, petroleum, per se, will not suffer. It has
become an object of worth to commerce, and the
demand for it will be steady. If the number of pro
ducers decrease, the value of the productions in
crease. The companies organized for the produe-
tion of oil, which have avoided the arts of the stock
exchange, which have at all times paid attention to
the development of their lands, and which have
been managed with patient industry, will reap the
benefit. Their course was clear from the first. It
was to attend to their own business, unmindful of
the turmoil around them. They are now approach
ing the time when it will be demonstrated that this
policy will pay. As the number of flimsy companies
fades out—as the chaff is riddled from the gratis—the
old-fashioned, honestly conducted companies will
rise In estimation. They will find their reward in
good prices for their oil and enhanced value for
their stocks. Happy they who have interest in such
concerns, for they will undoubtedly receive the
benefit of their patience and perseverance.
The stock market was rather snore active yester
day, and prices have au upward tendency. Govern
ment bonds were firmer, with sales of 5-20 s at 10064

at 106 N, an advanCe of %; 97 was bid for 10-40 s, and

and Holland speak of a decided reaction in favor of
United Mates 5-2 Os, as in competition with the Aus
trian securities, whichhaVe a strong banking sup
port in Frankfort. A month or two ago e good many
bidders of 5-209 were tempted to sell out on the large
profits which they were able to realize on their cheap
purchases of last year, and to go Into American five
per cent. bonds. But of late the feeling has again
changed, and "Americans," as our 5-20 s are popu
larly known on the Continent, are now In the
ascendant. City loans were snore active, and

The New York TIMM, July 6th, says: "There is a
renewed demand for the border State stocks, and
Tenuessees have gone up to 74 per Cent. again, after
having reacted to 70%©71 per cent. Virginias,
North Carolinas and Georgias are withheld front
market, since the recent measures of the President
of the 'United States looking to the reconstruction
of those States. There is no reason to doubt that
their anti-rebellion bonds will all be recognised and
duly provided for by the new State Governments.
The obligations of North Carolina and Georgia be
fore the war were quite moderate, as compared with
their resources, and neither State, we believe, ad
vanced its public credit to the late bogus Confede
racy. The old debt of Virginia is large, nearly
thirty millions, but probably less than half the
amount is now owned outside the State.''
A. certificate and a blank transfer of railroad
shares were sent to Washington with the inquiry of
bow many and what Stamps were. required 11t the
transfer of stock and issuance of a new certificate.
The reply was as follows:
WASHINGTON, J 1111029, 1805.
Sin: Your letter of the Seth inst., in relation to
stamp duty required on certificates of stock, trans
fers of the same, &e., and enclosing forms for my
consideration, is received.
to reply, I have to say that the certificate of stock
required - a
stamp-duty or twenty-five cents, and the
power of attorney on. the hack Of the certificate is
chargeable with the same amount, twenty-five cents,
•1s specially provided by Schedule B. I l he transfer
is sublect to a stamp-duty of five cents, as an agree
ment or contract.
. . -
hum conies this transfer is made on the back of the
cell Ideate, and when that is the case, and it Is duly
stamped, the record of the transfer made in the
hooks of the company does not require to be
stamped. But if the actual transfer is made—as in
the present case—ln the transfer book of the com
pany, and no such Instrument is executed on the
back of the certificate, then the instrument in the
transfer book becomes more than a record of trans
fer; it is a regniar transfer of stock and as such, is
chargeable with n stamp duty of live cents, as an
agreement or contract, as above stated.
Very respectfully, E. A: ItOLLIN - 6,
Deputy Commbssloner.

The Chicago Tribune says : "We understand
that the suit of the stockholders of the old Galena
and Chicago Union Railroad Company, against the
Chicago and Northwestern Railroad Company,
will be brought before Judge Davis, in the United
States District Court in this city. It is an impor

Interest by Wall street and railroad bond specu

The statement that the "Ugh-wino " Question be
fore the Secretary of the Treasury during the past
week is to be decided on Thursday is premature and
untrue. The owners were represented by counsel,

Stoner Lewis to recommend a compromise that was
not satisfactory to Mr. McCulloch. Some additional
testimony was thought necessary by the owners, as
well as by the Secretary, and the whole eonsidera=
