The letter following sufficiently explains
itself. It was eont to tlio President two
days after its dale by a friend of his, who
allbrdud the first opportunity that could
be relied ou to insure the delivery to the
President in person, and it wits so deliv
ered. It was read, and a verbal reply
that the case would ba investigated was
given, liut no prctenci wa.s made that
the causo for the arrest was not correctly
stated iu my letter.
Though the claim to ''investigate'' by
means of an arbitrary arrest, personal
duress, and whatever i-eerot appliances a
Cabinet iuquUition might fcco, ftt to resort
to, reasserting the right so as arrest for
such causes, and tliui was a claim as ut
terly at varianco with all law, as would
have been the similar arrest of a man
who (in Now York) had picked the Secre
tary's pocket, still ttcps Vioro taken to
present the oaso again to tho President
and the Secretary, through their personal
and political friends (and they in high
position), in the hopes ol" obtaining redress
without publicity.
But as up to this time (after nearly
thrco weeks) nothing has resulted, except
an infamously rigorous imprisonment of
Mr. Tracy, forbearance has reached its
limit. It n highly important that tho
people should thus and uow have a speci
fic ftuteincnt, showing tho enormity of
actual oppression exercised in this ease, as
u warning to them and to tho administra
tion. Yours, Ac,

JUDU n GOULD TO MR. LINCOLN.
Nnw Yonic, Iov. U, 1602.
To His Excellency Aiikaiiam Lincoln-,
President of tho Uuitcd States :
Sat On my anival in this city, from
my residinco in Troy, N. Y., 1 hud that
a cousin of mine, G. Goulden Tracy, a
lnoker of this city, has been, first, arres
ted and sent to Fort Lafayette ; uml sec
ondly, to-day taken us n prisoner to
Washington. The newspapors say and'
so far as I can learn by all inquiiies of
authoiitles I can hear uothiug dilferont
that the causo of tho arrest is tomo deal
ings ho has had in contractors' drafts on
government ullieers for niouoys : and it is
said, somo frauds wero committed iu or
by tho drafts, and be is charged with com
plicity therewith.
If this bo so, it is a crime cngnizablo
by tho courts. And I am amazed at tho
fatuity of public officers who can take no
warning fiom the distinctly uttered voieo
of a free people.
I am, and always havo been, nn unwa
vering enemy of this rebellion (accursed
in its origin, most ticou-iod its progress)
aud a suppoitor of the administration.
I am a Judgo of tho highest court of this
Kii.i,, And if 110 holiest VOicO lias VCJ
reached tho can of our government, I
, whit to ay, and to ba beard iu saying,
tliat StarCIiamlior process ami Secretary's
warrants aro tlaniiorous instruments to
play witli, nml that, among us, the true,
staunch supporters of tho government,
who would crush treason with tlio iron
heel, but who know the law, are compelled
to hang their heads in silent at the men
tion of cases which liavo occurred in our
midst.
Spies aro hardly cautioned when they
aro wlicro they can do infinite harm j but
a powerful baud and an oppressive one is
laid on a person hero, who is not in a po-
etiio.. .u: !..!.:.. ir i. ..i.i .i

who is .supposed to have no friends.
In this respect, I thank God, thero has
been a mistake. It is true that ho is a
young man, of not much means oc influ
ence; it is also true that ho has a young
wife (married not loiiff siuco) : and for
no assigned cause, and for no assignable
causo that thoso in power daro to give
breath to, ho is taken away from home,
without Riving to bis wife an instant's in-
tervicw or a chance to sec linn. Is this
country the Franco of a century ago ? j
Tho young man is the grandson of that
Uriah Tracy who lived nml died a Sena
tor of the United States from Connecticut,
who was the fir?! man buried in the Con
gressional butjing ground at Washington,
and whoso ashes aro insulted by this atro
cious invasion of tho liberties of thu pooplo
in tho person of his deseeudent.
I am not speaking merely my own opin
ion of such arrests. I know tho opinions
and the 'feelings of many of my brethren
of the bench. And if tho government is
really de.-irous of so proceeding as to make
it our duly to make public our opinious,
they will be heard, not merely in tho writ
of habeas corpus, but in open declaration
to the world.
Had I been a few hours earlier made
aware of this caio, I should not have
troubled you with a word ; but 1 would
have seen that tho processor tho Supremo
Court of thii State was io eseeuted as to
proteft its citizens accused of such offences
from any arrest, other than one under tho
appropriate process- of tho courts.
I beg again to assure you. in all sinceri
ty, that tliis kind of proceeding has gone
to i far already, and that, while to tho la't
of our men and our means wo aro ready
and determined to sustain th.' law, and the
government in enforcing tho law over this
whole laud as one country, wo aro al.o
determined to be judged by the law, and
not by any Secretary or auy one who is
not commissioned for that purpose. Vt'o
know and acknowledge the ruleofwa-,
where tho necessity of the case requires the
existence of martial law. Hut we know,
also, the common law of liberty, and tho
broad, great charter of the constitution
1 write warmly, zealously, because I
canuot bear to think of our cherished gov
ernment's taking any course to isjiirc
itself; at a, time, too, when our only hope
of escaping the c'xrnal di-graca and hu
miliation of letting the cau'-o of human
liberty perish in our hands is to sustain
flii frnviirtliilriiif. rv?t1:c TTiilnvi sn.T tn liov-n

To Mako a Happy Homo.
I heard a father tho other day a halo,
happy man praising his boys, for sturdy
follows, who had escaped tho dissipation
and excitement of a city life, and were now
as fresh in heart and as ruddy in face as
when they prattled about their mother's
knee. I had soon so much of parental
sorrow over sons gono cstray, corrupted

things which I considered improper, or at
least as frivulous, I oncourago now, be
cause I find my sons desire them, and I
prefer that they may gratify their desire
at home, and iu their mother's presence,
whero nothing that is wrong will come,
and where amusements, which under some
circumstances may be objectionable, lo-e
ail their venom, and become innocent, and
even elevating. I have found that tho
daii'tor is moro iu tho concomitants of
many amusements than in the amusements I
themselves ; that many things which will J
injure a young man iu a club, or among1
evil associates, arc harmless when engaged
in with tho surroundings of a home. As
long as children are children, they will
crave amusement, and no reasoning can
convince them that it is wrong to gratify
their desire. When they hear certain
thing-i denounced ns siuful by those whoso
opinion they hold in reverence, and arc
tempted by the example of others who de
fend them, to disobey thtir parenti' wish
and participate in them, a long downward
step is taken ; parental authority and pa
rental opinions aro held in less reverence ;
thi home that ostracises these amusements
becomes a dull and tiresome place; and,
in secret places, among companions, they
seek for them until at length conscience is
seared, filial feeling overcome, aud parents
aro compelled lo silx over tho lot affec
tions and ccufidciice of thtir children.

"Tho President is fully convinced that
tho soiuo of tho country is ovorwhclmingly
ngain.'t anything savoring of tyrauny or of
a military despotism."
'Is he, indeed ! After eighty years of .
Amoricau liberty and independence, a law

Washington, has actually learned that "tho
sense of the country" favors freedom, and
is not altogether indifferent to justieo and

upon us it had been easier to bear. Hut
that an American journal should thus, iu
the language of a court flunkey, record tho
shame of the land, is almost too much fur
mortal patience.
Quite too much for mortal patience, a
trial beyond all imagined for Job is tho
same journals's explanation of thu process
through which this light has reached the

"Sonic of the arrests made havo been un

Tho "administration has suffurcd,'' mark
