' "" Has it the Power ?
The .release of Jeff. Davia on bail by our
National authorities, and the previous par
don by President Johnson of Eagle, the
fiend who offered a million dollars for the
head of Lincoln, has suggested the inquiry
whether the Government of the United
States has the power to punish offenders
against its authority, or not? In referring
to this subiect the Pittsburg Commercial
comments thus:
''Is there no way by which the murder of
our prisoners of war is to be avenged ? Is
nothing to be done that shall secure to our
rank and file the treatment of civilized war
fare in any future war ? Is the record of
the rebellion to stand before the world, as
evidence that the Republic of America can
not, or will not, defend her defenders?
England suffocated our prisoners of war in
prison ships, the Confederacy starved and
froze1' and tortured and shot them down.
Why may not any future eijniy do likewise?
Government has totally and signally failed
to protect or avenge the brave men who
ferued all for her protection. It is not officers
igh in place who are likely to suffer by es
tablishing the rule, in the tace of the world,
that an American soldier may, with impu
nity, be starved, turned out, houseless, na
ked and hungry, into the winter storm, or
shot down, while a prisoner of war. The
consequences of such rule fall upon the peo
ple. Can this same people, by any possi
bility, elect men to represent them who will
secure to them the respect of the world and
the rights of civilized warfare ? Is ths Gov
ernment theirs, and can they control it?"
One of the Generous Public Laws.
Among the generous laws of last session
is one which may justly be called a gener
ous act, as well as a most just concession to
disabled soldiers. It provides that every
honorably discharged soldier who is a resi
dent of Pennsylvania,and who, from wounds
or on account of disease contracted while in
the military or naval service of the United
States, and on account of such disability is
unable to procure a livelihood by manual
labor shall have the right to hawk, peddle
and vend any wares, by procuring a license
for that purpose to bo issued without cost.
All that is required, to insure a soldier the
benefit of this act, is a certificate from' a
surgeon of the United States army that he
is unfit to make his living by manual labor.
The soldier must also procure a certificate
from a prothonotary of any county in this
State, that he is the bona fide owner of the
goods he sells. No doubt the liberal provis
ions of this law will induce many disabled
soldiers to adopt peddling as a means of
making a living.
Which ? The sailing of President Rob
erts, of the Fenian Brotherhood, for Eu
rope, may be regarded either as a mysterious
movement on the part of the order, or as a
denial to the reported contemplated raid
upon Canada. Again, perhaps, it may
transpire that the patriotic officer 'has . inade
a handsome thing out of the Irish liberty
movement, and will take ease and enjoy
ment in, foreign climes, at the expense of
thousands of dupes in America.
The Pennsylvania Central Railroad Com
pany have purchased the Susquehanna and
West Branch Canals. It is the intention of
the Company to deepen and improve this
line, and use it to assist the Railroads in
getting the immense . lumber trade to mar
ket. The lumbermen of Williamsport are
hampered and their business curtailed to
some extent, in consequence of the inability
of the railroads to supply cars enough to
ship their lumber. '
Pardoned. Eagle, the chap who offered
a premium, in Alabama, for Lincoln's head,
was arrested last week on a ch arge ofV. Com
plicity in the assassination, but promptly
secured his discharge by exhibiting a pardon
from the President. It was a clever per
formance on his part to secure pardon before
legal conviction, and demonstrated the Pres
ident's alacrity to screen his southern friends
even from the suspicion of wrong doing.
Flour has already gone off $3 a barrel
from the highest point reached. Favorable
as the prospects are' for the wheat crop, it
is quite likely some local damages will be
seized upen by the speculators to raise anew
the cry that the country is on the brink of
starvation. People .should always remem
ber that in so extensive a country the failure
of a crop can never be general
The Canadian aristocracy are snubbing
Jeff. Davia. They say he is a failure, and
has violated pledges as a soldier and a states
man which a true man would have died to
maintain.
The last survivor of the war of 1776 is in
the person of a hale, hearty old veteran
named John Gray, residing in Noble county,
Ohio, aged one hundred and four years.
Historical Faots to be Eemembered
The following historical facts should be
printed in every school book in the country,
that the rising generation may be able to
learn whence came the suffering their an
cestors bore, and the burdens they will be
called tg bear, for the sake of the safety of
their government : '
.1. Remember that the Democracy of the
South instigated the rebellion.
2. Remember that the Democracy of the
North aided, abetted, encouraged and sus
tained the rebellion. See Gov. Orr's late
speech.
3. Remember that the Democratic lead
ers cried Peace ! Peace ! declared in favor
of a cessation of hostilities, and resolved in
their national convention, in 1864 that the
war for the Union was a failure.
4. Remember that the leaders of that
partv encouraged desertion.
5. " Remember that the Southern Demo
cratic rebellion cost us three hundred thou
sand lives, three thousand millions of dol
lars, and carried mourning and desolation
in every loyal household iu the North.
6. Remember that the leaders of Democ
racy instigated plots in the North in the in
terest of secession ; that they conspired to
release the rebel prisoners at Camp Douglas,
and to surrender our cities to their tender
mercies.
7. Remember that this same party fos
tered and matured the spirit that nerved
the arm of a Booth to assassinate Abraham
Lincoln.
From Mexico. The intelligence from
Vera Cruz says : The surrender of the Im
perialists was heard all along the lines. The
city of Mexico has certainly capitulated.
General O'Haran was shot there for corres
pondence with the Liberals. Vera Cruz
will soon surrender. Before the surrender
of Maximilian, Juarez sent to Vera Cruz,
Puebla and the city of Mexico, dispatches
similar to that sent to Gen. Berriozabal, at
Matamoras. These state that all the Im
perialists, their ammunition and supplies,
were captured on May 15th. Maximilian
and all officers above the rank of Lieuten
ant are reported to have been shot at seven
o'clock on the evening of May 16th, by of
ficrs who escaped and arrived at Brownsville
on the 27th from Queretaro. Private let
ters received at Matamoras state that Juarez
has ordered Escobedo to execute Maximil-
liao and his generals ; and the official paper
at San Luis Potosi after narrating the par
ticulars of the fall of Queretaro states that
the Secretary of War forwarded orders to
Escobedo on the 15th to shoot Maximillian
acd his generals.
The Fenians and Cops. The Fenians
of Washington city are resolving to oppose
the Copperhead ticket on the general ground
that the spirit and tendency of that organi
zation are in opposition to the spread of
liberty and equality, and therefore antago
nistic to the design and purpose of Fenian
ism. If the Fenians are as right on al
other subjects as they are on this they can
do no wrong.
It seems that, after all, we may be able to
pay for our Russian purchase with our old
iron. The Czar, if we may credit our latest
intelligence, is about to buv of us the Mi
antanomah and four other ironclads. It is
not every nation that can use its fleet to re
gain one territory and then buy another.
The Democracy are congratulating them
selves on their solid column of seventy-one
thousand voters in Kentucky. The country
will be apt to remember that Kentucky sent
just about seventy-one thousand muskets
into the Confederate army.
Out of forty-two labor strikes in the var

taught in that school.
Mr. Jefferson Davis intends to reside at
St. Catharines, Canada West. It will strike
some persons as somewhat singular that he
should make this choice, unless some sne
cial reason determines him. If such a rea
son exists, it must relate to the rebellion
and his personal fortunes, and may be sum
med up by the simple declaration that he
deems himself better off than he would be
in the United States. Such caution evinces
consciousness of danger a knowledge of
reasons for apprehending something un
pleasant It is scarcely to be questioned
that he knows the extent of his crime, and
his movements indicate that he fears justice.
The Maryland Democratic Constitutional
convention, when last heard from, was de
bating the slavery question, and bv a vote
of 1 8 to 24 struck from the bill altogether
the clause declaring slavery shall not be
permucea in tneir state, and substituted
declaring slavery shall not be established in
their State. The system having been abol
ished under the policy and authority of the
United States, compensation in considera
tion thereof is declared to be due from the
United States.
Minister Clay is now? negotiating with
the Russian Fur Company for their forts
and warehouses, so t hat another million is
to be added to the bill for Walrussia. There
is something yet to pay to keen this territo
ry in order, but sufficient for the day is the
evil thereof. We have an elephant of un
doubted value upon our hands in the pur
chase of our extra Russian Empire, and let
us make the most of it.

Southern Famine Belief Commission.
This association has, so far, shipped 125,
000 bushels of corn for distribution in North
and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and
Louisiana; yet the want is not supplied.
Daily, cppeals for food are received, but as
the funds of the Commission are exhausted,
it cannot extend the desired relief, unless
its treasury is replenished by the liberality
of the Northern people. To show to what
extent the famine prevails in the South, the
Commission publish extracts from a very
large number of letters, a few f which we
here give : -
Mr. J. J. Knox, a trustworthy man, wri
ting from South Carolina, says: "I have
not been over five miles from home, and
have seen and heard direct from three hun
dred and sixty-six persons. The most of
them are now without bread, and are actu
ally subsisting upon corn-husks, and what
ever they can get to preserve life upon, while
there are others who have one and two
bushels of corn yet, whithout any means to
get more. Some have a horse or two and
are trying to raise a little crop, but have
little or nothing to live upon."
Mr. W. It. Robertson, writes from Wins
boro, South Carolina, April 4th, thus : "We
are, indeed, in a most sad and distressed
condition, and unless some speedy and sub
stantial aid is rendered, God only knows
what the sad result will be. 1 suppose there
are, in this district, at least one thousand
human beings, including black and white,
now needing charitable assistance. They
are literally without food, money, or credit."
Mr. G. A. Nunnally, Agent for the Poor,
writes from Monroe, Walton county, Geor
gia, April 11 : "In behalf of the suffering
ones of this county (Walton) I now address
you. The Inferior Court appointed me
agent to supply, as far as possible, the needy
ana iamisning. xo uo tins a smau appro
pnation, raised m taxation, was placed in
my hands. Early in January I proceeded
to my task and found, to my surprise and
sorrow, that more than GOO persons, white
and colored, in this county, were actually
sutlering lor bread. I immeaiately pur
chased corn, and, issuing the scanty subsist
ence of one-halt bushel Der month to the
head, have thus supplied, poorly, for four
months, that is, to the 1st ot May. J he
last bushel in the commissary has been
measured out, and daily applicants pleading
tor bread to sustain life are turned away
empty. They must starve if help is not
speedily extended to them."
Gen. J. E. Johnston, writes from Selma.
Alabama, April 6th : "You ask concerning
the condition of this country, if such suf
fering as is described by the newspaper
press really exists. You 1 ave probably seen
an estimate of the number of the destitute
in all the Southern States as published by
Ijren. Howard. 1 he best miormed here re
gard it as far below the truth. The amount
of suffering is certainly far beyond anj'thing
ever before imagined in America. The
crops of the planters failed, so that few of
them have the means of charity. Many, it
is thought, will be unable to find laborers
until next corn-time, and many plantations
will thus bo uncultivated this season. I
hear it often and from such sources as to
convince me of the fact."
The Commission publishes this over
whelminer testimony of distress, from the
want of food, as the most impressive appeal
which they can make for additional contri
butions. Seventy-eight counties in Georgia,
twenty-seven districts in South Carolina, and
not less than sixty of the counties in Ala
bama, have already received bread at the
hands of the Commission. But the people
of the same counties and districts must
have other supplies of bread, from some
quarter, to save them from distress and
starvation. In a late letter received from
Gen. Howard, he says to the Commission :
"It is a difficult task to represent proper
ly to our friends at the North the actual
condition of the, destitute portion of the
Southern States, where war, famine and
flood have succeeded. each other in their
march of impoverishment and desolation.
I think this is the time for the Christian
people of this country, who have the means
to do so, to show that the constancy and
fortitude so generally displayed by them
during the war were in no way inconsistent
with sentiments of Christian love. I do
hope that your Commission will continue its
operations till you yourselves shall feel sat
isfied that the extreme and unusual suffer
ing has been relieved beyond question. Op
portunities are now afforded to the good to
do a great work generously and nobly, which
when done, will, I doubt not, cement us as
a nation more closely in the bonds of peace
and unity than either legislative, judicial,
or executive action, though of the wisest
character, could effect."

A London correspondent tells of a 'very
old lady who went to a shop to buy poultry.
The shopkeeper was polite and attentive.
She went often and he was always consider
ate. One Saturday evening he was busy
when she came, and asked her to step into
his little parlor and sit down. His daugh
ter, a youne girl, received her kindlv but
looked pale and worn. The old la,dy hand
ed her a package directed to her father,
told her to lock it up in the cupboard, and
went away. When the poulterer opened it
he found 1.000 a;id a cold watch n
chain. . , He went to thank her, and she told
mm to take Ins daughter out ot town for a
week, then come to her. Then, after some
preliminaries of getting acquainted, she
transferred all her nronertv to him. 35 fwin

OcrwimNO A Robber, A few nights
since a gentleman named Stone was
riding into Detroit on the Grand River road
in a buggy, when he was requested by a wo
man to let her ride with him a short dis
tance. The request was readily granted,
but within a short time Mr. Stone discover
ed that his companion had a decidedly un
feiuinine appearance,and his whip was acci
dentally dropped on1 tte ground, and the la
dy requested, as the horse was very frac
tious, to alight and pick it up. Suspecting
nothing, the request was complied with,
her muff left iu the carriage, and Mr. Stone,
without waking for whip or fellow passenger,
dashed furiously, forward. When he had
partially recovered from his fright, he dis
covered that the muff contained a formida
ble reovlvcr and knife, and he asserts that
his companion was none other than a high
way robber.
The distress of the South is shown in the
fact that Virginia raised $40,000 for the
comfort of Jeff. Davis and family. North
Carolina contributed $20,000 or $30,000 for
a monument for the rebel dead. The State
of Mississippi appropriated $20,000 to test
the constitutionality of the reconstruction
act. Memphis can raise large sums ot mon
ey to get up : tournaments, and, indeed,
whenever there is an occasion for honoring
the rebel dead, or of testifying regard to
living traitors, there seems to be no lack of
funds, and no difficulty in raising what is
required. This, to say the least, is remark
able. Ilarrisburg Telegraph.
The Buffalo Express tells the following
hard one : "Mr. might have been seen
yesterday.drawing his infant in a baby chaise
up Main street, accompanied by his wife.
xSow, such sights are common enough, but
when it is stated thatxzter familius is nine
ty years of age, his wife but seventeen, and
the baby eight months, it must be confessed
that a new phase is put upon the matter.
Such, however, is the case. The venerable
father walked with an elastic step, and the
youthful mother seemed to be as happy as
mortal need be in this sublunary sphere,
while the baby smiled and crowed in ecstacy
of delight."
The whole fabric of slavery is coming
down with a crash; Sp.iin, which is now
deliberating the question of abolition, is the
last civilized power which countenances hu
man chattelism. It seems impossible for us
to calculate the results of our great war.
History is rapidly proving that we fought
for the freedom of the world and the en

fringement of their vested rights in wrong

D. J. Files, the accredited ringleader in
the Mobile-Kelly mob, has been arrested by
the military, and will be brought before the
Military Commission for trial. Meauwhile
the civil authorities are puttering along with a
Coroner's inquest over the slain. The testi

the complacent magistrate decided that
"the weight of testimony was with his hon

Seward has outraged all decency in ap
pointing little Johnny Hay, Mr. Lincoln's
private secretary, Minister ad interim in
Mr. Motley's place at Vienna! This whole
affair of McCracken and Johnny Hay is an
impeachable offense, for which the Presi
dent ought to suffer, and his Prime Minis
ter with him. Hay is not only too young,
but actually incompetent for the position.
He was selected to induce the country to
believe that Motley's services were of no
account, and his selection is alike an insult
to that diplomatist and the country which
delights to do him honor.
The Reform movement goes grandly on
in the British Empire. By a significantly
large majority, the House of Commons has
passed the Liberal amendment requiring a
porough to number ot least ten thousand in
population before it can be entitled to a seat
in 1'arliament. At one sweep this clears
away the unjust and corrupt pocket borough
system of representation which has made
the British Parliament a mere farce as a
popular representative body. Equal rights
have the ear of the Biitish public at pres
ent.
A good anecdote is told of a house paint
er's son, who used the brush dextrously,
but had acquired the habit of putting it on
too thick. One day his father, after hav
ing frequently scolded him for lavish daub
ing, and all to no purpose, gave him a se
vere flagellation. "There, vou young ras
cal," after performing the painful duty,
how do you like that?" "Well. I don't
know," whined the boy. in .reolv. "but it
seems to me that you put it on a thunderin'
sight thicker than I did."
The Commissioners of agriculture havinc
established the fact that the cron nrosneet
is the best ever had in this country at this
season of the year.the main nron has been
struck down from under the grain specula
tors. Flour is" at least eight dollars more a
barrel than it should be. There is no just
reason under heaven, except that the spec
ulators want to rob the consumers, to keep
flour up to its present prices. It is time
that we have indignation meetings on this
subject
The Union men of South Carolina annre-
ciate the value of organization. It is pecu
liarly necessary now in the South that the
colored men shall have some known head
quarters in every district, to which they can
ppiy, and which shall be to them a visib e
pledge of protection and freedom. This
end can best be reached, perhaps, bv a
Union League House in every district, from
which shall float day and night the stars and
stripes.
A paper in Selma, Alabama, says that
wnce the first of January last, over $3,000,
000 have gone from that city and the coun
try tributary thereto to the Northwest for
plantation supplies, and that, it is, perhaps,
not toe much to estimate that at least as
much more must go in the same direction
during the remainder of the season.
Santa Anna, surrounded by all the luxu
ries which wealth command, is living at

France . Irritated. The foreign news
continues to the effect that the French peo
ple are irritated with the solution of the
Prussian question, and much dissatisfied
with the way in which the London confer
ence patched the matter up. They call on
the government to assume a yet bolder atti
tude in continental affairs, and they demand
that France shall show to Europe that her
supremacy shall be maintained hereafter,
whatever may happen. "The whole na
tion," says our correspondent, "wants to
go to war with Prussia, and certainly ex
pects soon to do so. "
A Timely Suggestion. Governor Jen
kins, of Georgia, has issued an address to
the people of that State, principally devo
ted to the destitute condition of ma ty of
their citizens, and the prospect before them.
He deplores the planting of so much cot
ton, when bread is the central idea and
pressing necessity. ''There would," says
he, "be hope for the State, if thousands of
acres of cotton were now plowed up, and
the ground devoted to com. . Ther is yet
time for it. The present cry for bread a
mong substantial farmers admonishes us to
do this. " . -
The editor of the Cleveland Herald, wri
ting from Washington, repeats the observa
tion on the lips of shrewd observers every
where. He says : "To one keeping his ear
close to the political ground-swell of the
National Capital, a fast growing impression
may be detected that in the approaching
Presidential Convention, General Grant will
ultimately eclipse all competiters for the
nomination to the highest place in the gift
of the people."
This Yankee Government is building rail
roads for the South, furnishing them with
rolling stock, supporting postoffices and post
roads over vast wildernesses, paying a crush
ing tax for emancipating'its laborers, sup
porting schools for its ignorant people,
feeding its starving poor, and building its
levees. Whether this work will win grati
tude and friendship, or contempt and enmi
ty, remains to be seen.
s-
The Crops and Speculators. The
principal grain centers are manifesting, just
now, certain significant-fiuctations in prices
a sort of trembling sensation like that
which precedes the final plunge of the sink
ing ship. The graud prospect ahead for
the wheat crop now within two months of
the market has brought out some thousands
of bushels of old wheat, and the market
from this time forward is bound to decline.
An important discovery has leen made
in New Jersey, of extensive deposits of
lignite, or brown coal. In Europe this sub

steam and smelting purposes, and its discov

to seriously affect the price of anthracite, as
the brown coal can be had at much lower
rates, whilst serving many of the purposes
for which anthracite is now used.

The Coal Trade. The quantity of coal
