"TREiSO.V
It i seldom, if ever, these days, that an
editor casts his eye upon an artielr, in any
of his "exchanaea," that corr.es t xactly tip
to his ideas and belii-f, upon ibe stme sub
ject. In cldncir.'p over the columns of the
New Yotk I)a;ty Acres, a day or two since,
we ducovered an article, under the above
caption,- TREASON which comes rip to
our way of thinking, relative to the arrest
and trial cf'Ju-F. Davis, late Pre.-ident of
the Southern Confederacy. We shall give
it entire. The writer' knowledga of con
ititutional law is not limited, ucther is his
mind biased, but his views are plainly and
forcibly given -in a very few words. Read
them : "
If nobody else will pay it, we ehall this
Government has no right to put JefTereoti
Davis on his trial for treason. For four
years be has carried on anjopen and honor
able war, one of the grandest wars evtr
waged upon earth, against all the powers of
(his nation : and during all those four years
so long as he had the pvieer vf retaliation
our Government never pretended to treat
as leions tee thousands ot prisoners who
' fell into its hands : it exchanged them.
Bui c fjicers of jmt;ce do not make cartels
of eichaRge with felons : the sherff does
not treat the resisting criminal as a bellig
erent. Now is it righ:, that the moment ttose
armies with their illustrious generals lay
down their arms and submit to superior
forces expecting to be treated as defeated
tut honorable enemies the moment the
Federal prinners in their hands are all lib
etated, and Mr. Davis, no longer at the head
of a government and army, has ho longer
the power of retaliation, that we should
torn opon onr gallant foes of yesterday,
and say to them, Now yon are not defeated
soldiers yoa are captured thieves and
murderers: you have not only lost your
cause, as soldiers of a vanquished political
Confederacy, but yoa have forfeited your
lives and lands and soods a hi "ha-avrr.cn
brought to justice." We have neither moral
nor legal right thus to degrade an honorable
foe into a caitiff ielon, nor to make a mighty
war, manfully carried on for so many year?
with all the high usages and courtesies cf
war, end in the convicts dock, and at the
foot of the gallons tree.
When the British Government got hoid of
The captive Napoleon, it might as' well have
tried him at the assizes for murder of Brit
ish subjects and the pira ical dastrnction of
British property on the 'high soas. It is a
deep stain upon that Government that it
bent such a captive to St. Helena.: how
much deeper, bow indelible and execrable,
if it had hanged him as a brigand !
Bat there is more. Air. Davis an J Lis as
sociates were in all this business acting, at
least, in the sincere lelitf of the clear right
of their States to pecede from the Union
!t was known for many j ears that tills was
the conscientious conviction of most South
ern States, anil of many Northern. Seventy
years ago, YirgiDia and Kentucky Convea
lions declared it ta be their' rijht ; Massa
chusetts claimed the right for herself. Mr.
oachanan, the President of the United
States at the time of South Carolina's seces
.-ion, though he did not admit the right, de
clared, at least, that the Federal Govern
ment had no constitutional power to pre-
- eht il by forcible coercien ; Mr. Johnson,
the President of to-day, was himself an ad-
. voeale of State sovereignty. The two the
ories concerning the limits of Stare Rights
' had been lang in preber.ee ; the advocates
of the two were. known to one another, and
sat side by side in the national councils ;
lor many years it was believed that this di
versity of theory might lead to a practical
collision ; but it never occurred to eiiher
party in the brgorueta that their adver
saries were machinating burglary, arson
-Tid piracy. Il Mr. Seward declared, too,
itiat between th two states of Society and
iorms of civilization, North and South, there
-was an irrepressible conflict; ife meant, we
oppose, that Ires labor and slave labor
urere incompatible, and that the one must
t rush out the other ; but 6urely he did not
mean that the advocates of the bealsn party
i.i that irrepressible couflict should lie man
acled in dungeons and parish by the hang,
man' rope. The predicted conflict came :
the Sooth and its theories went down in the
shock ; ii industrial system has perished ;
its claim of independent State sovereignty
is buried in blood ; it accepts defeat shall
it also be forced to accept the felon's brand
upou its brow, the felon's doomopoa 'the
shameful gibbet ?
It can scarcely be argneti that the case,
under these circumstances was so very clear
and plain, as to Jeava iha partisans oKthe
desated cacie altogether without excuse, 10
make their btave defense of their invaded
Slate a penitentiary crime from the first,
arid e?ery bloar they struck a wanton sin
against the light and against high Heaven.
Would to Gcd, this question, were left to
t!,a oidie:3 of the Federal ajmies to seule !
Would t'icy be willing to avow that they
were all' the S3 four years not fighting an
honorable foe, bnt tx'.erminatiug a gang of
cCou:;dril brigands tliat they wera net a

to
mercy to rebels. Call them rebels if yon
will; bnt what we demand for them is toi
mercy: il is justice: '.justice to ourselves a
well as to them. . We would save the na
tion from a foci blot, which if it stains its
escutcheon vrithal in an access of passion,
pur children's children will wish to blot out
that page of their history.
And .here are m thts matter. h.2h cons.J-
erations ol policy as welt as' of honor and
jus-tite; What is the reason, now the war is
over, that Government paper fall in value?
I it not because the policy which seems
now to be settled upon by your Adminisira
tion,.threatens to render the South for a long
while miserable, disaffected and dangerou?
If the people of that country, after frankly
submitting arbitrament of fate, and yielding
to the authority vt the National Government
are still to be held as outlaws in their own
States; if their late head and chief.as repre
senting the whole Confederacy is to be ig
nominiousiy tried like a garclter, so as to
make them all feel themselves degraded and
branded in his person; if a high-spirited
people are to be goaded and tortured by eve
ry most ingenious and iatolerable humilia
tiofi; then what chance is there that those
fertile States will soon resume the peaceful
way s of progress, and brir.g contentedly their
full conrribotion as before to the general na
tional wealth and power ! If we are r.ot to
have peace and good will after all if the
struggle of arms is to be succeded by long
agony of political proscriptions and f.ro.ecu
Tions, by black list., and irformers, and con
6ecalioos as in Poland, and picked juries a
in-Ireland, why the sooner prudent men get
rid of their greenbacks, and quit the coun
try, shaking 'he dasl oil their feat, the better
for thern.
We say nothing about the asa?ins of
President Lincoln. We take no knere-u in
I assassins. An issassio. or an ucconnolicj of
ast-assi us, or stttorrer of as-at-sination, if
convicted, ought to s-ffer the penalty due to
his crimes. If Mr. Davis himself could be
proven guilty of complicity ia such a busi
ness, we admit that from a political chief
and banner bearer of a nation he sink into
the common cui-thrn.ii ; and in that case
away with him! . Stiew him no mercy! Bat
in the name of common sense do not seek
to put a whole nation in criminal's dock in
the person of its choseu chief.
Tne Washington authorities have issced
an order prohib i'ing the re-mcsteritig of
officers for higher rar ks, according to ia'e
promotions, which- they may have receiveJ.
Thin will be quits a saving to the Treasury
of increased pay, which would be paid out
in case these officers were ro-mus eted, i
order to cccupy the higher ranks. This or
der has cante 1 cnite considerable fluttering'
among the Cap ains, Colonels, and Briga
diers, who stood on their tip-toes awaiting
promotion. Now is the time ft r economy,
retrenchment and re'orm, ;a every depart
ment at Washington, and too mcch of the
former cannot be practiced in the oCice of
Secretary Stanton. The financial condition
of our country demands careful and diiigen t
attention to carry us safely through th ter
rible ordeai. The weight of ot:r public
debt has no parallel in the annals; and
knowing, as we Jo, her heft, we should ue
all precaution in protecting the roariinery
of our Government, to save it from utter
destruction, else the Government is destroy
ed and our people ru'uied, morally, politi
cal and finaiicial'y. Sa far, under the
new tegime, all .-tjerns to work in the direc
tion cf a speedy, permanet tly, reconstruct
ed Union, vpon the oli plan.
The Abolition ;iarty are becoming quite
dissatisfied with the coure of Andkew
Johnson, :1m man who became President
by accident. His leniency towards the reb
els does not suit many of the load mouthed
patriots, They Iiad expected Mr. Joh'son
to carry out their mora extreme doctrines,
and inflict severe and unjust punishment
opon the people Dr the Souther States, of
satiate their desirss. It would seem that
Air. Johnson intends to recoiatrcct the Un
ion upon the basf.i of the Cuns'.itation and
thereby repecl and obserre States' Rights.
Ha also feels inclined to treat the right ot
negro suffrage constitutionally, allowing the
white population to decide that question,
in the Slates whera they are interssted.
This is entirely jut. What right hava ycu
or any other disinterested person to say who
shall be the legal electors ia South Carolina.
Not any. This is a question for the psopie
of that State to decide
Little Mac Right. The sudden man
her in which the rebellion died out after the t
fall of "Richmond, was a-singular proof of
the correctness of McClellan's judgment.
He wrote from Harrison's Landing to Hal
leck, in response to the order commanding
btm to withdraw his army, as follows:
"Here directly in front of this armr is the
rebellion ; it is here thai all our resources
should be collected to strike the bio .t which
6hall determine tho fate of the nation. All
points of secondary. importance elsewhere
should be abandoned, and every available
man brought here a decided victory here
and the rebellion in crushed it matters not
what partial reverses we may meet with
elsewhere. Here is the defense of Wash
ington. It is hem na the banks of the
James, that the fate of the Union should be
decided. !; -
1 A Good Beginmko. President Johnson
has declined to bo the recipient of a car
riage and a jjair of horses presented lo him
by some citizens of New York. The mo
tives of ihe givers were undoubtedly proper
enough, bul the President, frotc a sense of
duty to himself and the country, declined
ta gift, though acknowledging kindly and
gratefolly ibe compliment intended- This
shows that President Johnson means lo be
governed by right principle ia the eimplest
matters of official conduct, and intends to
keep his high office op to tha standard of
a pure and simple discharge of duty, free
from any influence but that which- con
science and reason impose upon him.

whom you ?peak, constitute the great, pa
triotic Democratic party of which there are

art with equal firmness the powerful op

bued with euch nobleness of principle and
endowed with courage to maintain their
privileges, they could tiursue no other
course than amany not malignant oppo
sition to your "Jate martyred" oppressor.
That opposition was conducted, it is true,
with a zeal "unparalleled in the history of
politics1', because the occasion required
both earnest acd continued opposition, yet
it was mugnanimous and proclaimed to the
world wi;h man!ines "unparalleled in the
hitory of polities'" Il was not conceived
at midnight meetings, by members of a
som Ieaga9, blindly, like heiithe is, sup
posing the un warrantable and "unparallel

sively to yourself and call him your 'i.i e

first discovered by Mrs. M., tho entire

al once jumped from their bed and rushed
to the room where six of the children were
sleeping. Their chamber was filled with
black eraoke. Tiie eldest daughter was the
first 10 leave the room, and tte mother plac

to rescue tho other five children. At this

burned to a crisp, fell in. Mr. and Mrs. M.
sprang lo a window and escaped, but the
children fell lo the cIlar with the burn

This is the most fearful calamity that has

The question of negro suffrage in the
southern states is destiied to assume a very
different complexion ;rrom what home Re
publican politicians and new-papers have
assumed, and that at no distant day. The
decision of the question will depend alto
gether opon the views which President
Johnsen entertains, and these views are not
at all in harmony with the vienb of those
false philanthropists of New England, who
have no business to meddle with the matter
at all, but who are persistently ihrubting
themselves, unasked, into Ihe executive
coir.cels. We do not know whether Mr.
Johnson intends to be a candidate for Presi
dent in ISC?. But we do know that he is
filled with a landtbie' ambition to ba the
President cf the whole United States and to
do justice to all the State alike. We can
assure our readers that he ha ho idea of
permitting the future political and social
status of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, or
any other southern staie, to be determined
by a lot of calculating, speculating, and
meddlesome theorists from Massachusetts
or Connecticut. Mr. Johnson is well groan
ded in Denncraiib principles. lid will sea
to it that no traitor or disloyal person is al
lowed to vote ia any slate. Ha will see
that work and rations are provided for the

School Month How rnany'days consti
tute a school month, has been a disputed
questioa between teachers and directors for
the last six or eight y ear?. The Legisla
tore at its last session decided iha matter,
by enactirg that twenty two days shall con
siitate the school month, but that Saturdays
should form no part of the twenty-i wo days ;
that is the school cannoi ba kept open on
Saturdays; but they further decided that'if a
majority o! all the members of a Board of
Director chose, they might appropriate two
Saturdays of each month for Teacher's In
stitutes, which two Saturdays, if appropri
ated, may be counted "as part of the twenty
two days.

Th AGE is now established on a sure

unsought and most liberal commendation!1

they prefer that it thou'd siand alloHhr

relations of the country, consequent upon
the suppression of the rebellion and the
restoration of peace, will enable the pub
