The manifest indications of return ing loyalty on the surrender of the rebel armies, go far to fix upon the President the responsibilities fur the change which oc curred soon afterwards. Unhappily" for the country the President • - did not persist In the Policy he had an nounced. Ills actuall course became the reverse of that to which he was pledged. All his efforts were strenuously directed not to stamp treason with the brand of in famy, but to make it honorable. Present ly he went still farther, and rndeitirored to make loyalty odious ;" to pot it under ilia ; to subordinate those %ciao had evinced it to those wh - O had either ehgaged in the rebellion or had sympathiagd with it. At the South.the scope and Mat of the President seemed to be to place the uncon-- Lionel Union men at Cho mercy of unre pentant traitors. This is substantiated in many .ways, in none more i:onsrad,uouly than in the tone of 'most of the SOutherri journali. Admitting that these ,Journals do not in all respects 'represent the feelings and opinions of the more intelligent and - considerate classes of the Southern people; that large abatements must be made' from their apparent fierceness on;the score of partizan exaggeration ; still, it. Will hardly be utsintained that they do not about as fairly reflect the temper of their patrons as Northern journals do the tone of the mass of steady readers. There are, doubtless, many journal's, North and South, that in / dulge in TCIIIS of extravagance which meet . 'with small favor from the soberiminded. But, unfortunately; all people do not be long to that class. But, when we consider the atrocities of 'Memphis and New Orleani, they equal if not surpass, in stern realities, the most heated and unscrupulous journals. Con gress undertaken to Investigate these appalluad barbarities. Measures have al ready been taken to ensure the thorough 'eel scrutiny; and there is no room to hope that it will be made apparent that these bloody scenes were either unpremeditated or were the result of casual exasperations, which do not demonstrate &pervading pus: pose and _unquenchable animosity. KINDNESS AND CONCILIATION. . _ Undoubtedly these qualities have their nee in the economy of the world. If this was not so human nature would not be ca pable of displaying that. But it would be absurd to infer . from this that all manner of wild beasts could be more -effectually Aimed and reduced to subjection by cm ressei than by asserting and' maintaining ma- terdom with a strong hand: Not but there' rc general temperaments and special moods: of feeling even in the moat obdu rate natures, upon which forbearance, mod-, oration and benevolence May be moat ad vantagle-ously employed. But the mare we see and rend, the more are we convinced that this is not the pervading.rebel temper. ament, nor a common' mood of sentiment • among them. Before the late elections, while-we were not satisfied with the tune of the Southern press, we • were -disposed to make allow anon for the Ul-nature and truculence man ifested- The Southernopla had reasons for believing—not very aubstantial ones, 7 3 to he sure, but still roans—that the re publicans did not ekuetitute a rest majority of the people of tho loyal States; that their ascendancy in Congress was stacidental and temporary; and that an appeal to the _ballot;boxes would result in their confu - slon and banishment from power. But the verdict of the people; upsetting these cal ; culatione, 'does not stn Whey° tamed the fermity of rebel rage. Da the face of that verdict, and in contempt of it, the former "outpouring of wrath is continued. Let us - - cite some examples. 1 .., The Petersburg; Express declates: "File President will have no alternative left him bat to disperse the two Houses at the point of the bayonet." _. , . The Richmond Enquirer asserts; ~..„! The President is bound by his oath to • Blkaistiain' the State Governments." ' And then gives Congressmen to 'under stand that he will be backed up by the Northern and Southern Democracy in making war upon them and theirsuppori ers if they attempt to put the Territorial theory in operation. \ The Charleston' Afereury; likelYise, In forms the Executive that the late Southern soldiers are at his disposai if he requires their aid iu overpowering the Northern disnnionists. • The Mobile Times affirms: '"Elie South will - wesist with force any change in its present politick' status." The Pine Bluf Vindicator declares: ! "For fighting for our rights again, let us have no more servility by the press and public men of the country. Let us hear no voice cuunciling submission; but all pro claiming our rights or War.” • Now, there may be individuals who are. of the Opinion that these rebels are in a frame Of mind to be coaxed and petted IntP good behavior. But we do not so 'judge. The old venom that lad them to take pp , arms against-the government, and make prodigious efforts for its overthrow, still actuates them.

We; opy the following from the Wash ington correspondence of the Philadelphia Press, of the date of December 18 : "The Washington Chronicle, of to-mor row, will contain the following article on the late decision of the Supreme Court of the United States. It has created great ex ultation among the rebels. • Their organ, the Inlelligenter , claims, almost in tunic, that under this decision the earnest men of the Republic are to be punished for their efforts, against the traitors. Unless Con grecs intervenes snits will everywhere be brought against those who took part in military trials, At-. There is, however, very little doubt that Congress will take prompt action. The opinions stating the views of the four dissenting judges, Chase, Swayne, Wayne and Miller, will be pub Milted in due time, and is looked for with much interest. It is certainly a very omi nous sign when the decision of a Supreme Court is openly claimed by a newspaper n.ivr more than ever in the interest of trea son, t , be a rebuke to patriotic men, and an apology and vindication of the most disloyal element. The cases decided were known as the In diana conspirators, including Milligan, Hersey and Bowles, who were tried, con victed and sentenced by a military com mission in Indi.na. They were argued at the Tait teem of the Court, and the decision reserved. The attorneys for the appellants were Hon. J. A. Garfield, of Ohio; Judge McDonald, of Indiana; Ron. .1. J. Black, of Pennsylvania, and David Dudley Field, Esq., of New "York ; and for the United States, ex-Attorney General Speed, Attor ney General Stanberry,, and Major General 8.. F. Butler. • The live Judges in the majority were Grier, Nelson, Clifford, Davis, -and Field. The dissenting judges were Chase, Miller, Wayne, and Swayne. The comments of the Chronicle - are 'as follows: THE SIIPREILE COURT AND TRN AMERICAN xxrairrs," ALIAS "KNIGIITS OF I'AE GOt. DEN CIRCLE." . . Oa Monday, ,by a majority of one, the Supreme Court, In the case of ex.parte Mil- ligan, declared the prisoner's trial illegal And his conviction inoperative, and ordered his release. It may be proper to state that Milligan was a prominent leader among the "Amer ican Knigh's," Or "Knights of the Golden Circle," and it was for traitorous practices in aid of the public enemy in the State of Indiana, when, that State was the theatre war,-that he was arraigned and con demned, by a military commissirin; on the fullest proof of Ids guilt. His death sen tence was approved by General Hoovey, who convened the court, and by General Hooker, comminderof the apartment, and, in .April, 1865, was ordered to be carried into execution by President Johnson, who, however, subsequently commuted it to im prisonment fordife. The Supreme Court now Olds all the proceedings against him to !lave been null and void on the ground that Military commissions, wherever or however constituted, are unconatitutional and without color of law to support them. We refrain from any • detailed criticism tma momentous decision until it shall have been published in full. We cannot, however, avoid saying now that in its scope, at reported, it can scarcely fail to shock the - sensibilities and provoke the severe rebuke of loyal men every where. The exultation of the Intelligence, over It will. awaken a jubilant echo throughout rebeldom, and the hearts of-1 traitors will be made glad by the announce ment that treason, vanquished upon the battle field, and hunted front every other retreat, has at last found a secure Shelter in the bosom of the supreme Court. The militaary commission thus denounc ed as a usurpation has existed as a Maui. mate lustrumentality, in the, hands of the war-making power, from the foundation of the Government; it has again and again been recognized by Congress, composed - of the greatest statesmen, jurists and patriots of the nation, ami has been constantly em ployed by all our most illustrious Generals as a potent agency for the suppression of the rebellion. President Lincoln, himself an able lawyer, and, es a Chief Idagistrate, most careful of human life, confirmed and executed the death sentences of this tribu nal in numberless cases. Yet we are now told that all this array pr learning and pa triotism, and experience and loyalty; which has given unhesitating support to the mill tary commission, is to be held for naught in the presence of a single voice of - the Su premo Court. The. bravest, truest and wisest men of theiard,' who have used this tribunal in defense of the national life, are thus branded as felons, and we are now Aoki that the real criminals of the war were not the traitors, spies; guerrillas and eesas sins tried, but the patriots who tried them.
