close of the parnivsl, there was to have
been a performanceiu the evening at the

through some carelessness, the scenery
caughtfire. The building was soon destroy

There were only a few fire engines, and
such a scarcity of axes that hardly anything
could be done to arrest the progress of the

AMERICAN IKPERIALISM.
A SKETCH. _OF AN AMERICAN BAS
‘ ' TILE. I, ,
Henry Winter Davis, an original NatiVe'
American, is undoubtedlyone of the ablest
members of the Republican party in Con
gress. But he dili'ers from most of his par
'ty in insisting that there exists such a loyal
ingtitution as the liabeas corpus. and that
military commissions, foi the trial of civil;
ions, in lnyn’l States, are worthy only of
Russia. To give effect to this idea—absurd
an. it may afipcar to loyalists—Mr. Davis
fngrnfteu it as an. amendment on the mis
cellaneous appropriation bill. and the in
tensely loyni Senate, rather than concede
to American citizens the rights the English
Barons. at thegword‘s point, exacted from
King John, imli‘n thousand years ago. 31-,
lowed the bill to be defeated, and Mr. Lin-l
coln to maintain his Bastilos, and‘Mr. Sew“
2rd to t‘ing‘his ”little bell‘" . ‘
Mr. Dnvis, in an elaborate 51199011. in“
published in the Globe, sp‘eaks of these ur
bitmry arr-fists as follows.‘ It. will be seen ;
that Mr. D. msumcs the position that then;
military arrests are merely unmitigated
despotirm, and carry with them no legal“
right that “a white man is hcund to res

not know of such bases in his own Detgh

of oppression around him. It 'there be.
they are happier than we are in Maryland,
or they nrein Massachusetts. This measure
is demanded by the feeling of the country,
and in myjudgment, ifthe Ilou‘e will now
say that the liberty of the American citizen
is of equal moment with the miscellaneous
appropriation bill,.und will pronounce by
such 11 vote as that by-wliich it referred the
resolutionof the gentlemen from New York
(Mr.'Gunson,) with only three dissenting—‘l
voices, to the Military Committee, that law;
is still supreme. every man in the Unitedl
States will breathe freer and will bear hiin- l
self more loftily; and look with assured joy l
to the day when armed rebellion shall be
destroyed, to be followed not by armed des
potism, but by the peaceful reign ofliberty,
and by submission, but not by servitude.”
The New York World, in an editorial ar
ticle, gives a description of the manner in l
which these victims of our American im.
rial despotism and Mr. Seward's "litttel
fill,” are treated in the Old Capitol prison. 3
Read this, and then indulge to your utmost’
in denunciation of King B )mba: ~
“In the Old Capitol prison the victim is
put into close confinement in a dingy cell.
A_ll parties whonrhe is permitted to see ex
press ntter ignorance of the cause of his ar-l
rest. His cell has one barred window. _At l
first he has no companions save the vermin. .
The furniture of his cell is a sack of straw ,
and a pair of blankets. He is‘t'ed on pris
on rations. and cats without knife. fork, or}
spoon. A bucket ls his closet. Turnkeys
guard him who are fit for such business.-—l
It in against prison rules that the victim
should see a lawyer or any other person as
to his case, until his charges shall have
been served, and he can neither secure nor
l hasten his trial. Everything in at the beckl
of the high power: at the "party founded
93' great moral ideas.” Remap: the prison
TWO DOLLARS A-YEAR
othcer will permit fifteen minute interviews
‘with wife or relatives. perhaps not.—
The prison ofiice‘r’s dinner may not'hsve
agreed with him, or he may be taking a
nap when the prisoner’s wife arrives from
New york or Missouri. His letters may
1 pass out if they contain nothing that the
,prisoner cares most about. viz: himself
‘and his imprisonment. Letters to Him
generally reach him after his trial, if he is
tried. or after his capacity is proved to pay
(or a fifteenth or a twentieth of a mess and
a room just a little less nastyithan his cell.
The victim finally may be informed of
his alleged crime, and then he is constant
ly beset for-o “statement.” Let him de
cline to make one, let him express igno
rance. and in some way or other he wili
find the screw turned down harder on him.
‘ Perhaps he is sent to his cell to meditate
on the trial by torture and its relations to
I modern law asJadministored by the Repub
‘ licnn party. Perha 5 he puts his head
‘ outuof his window fgr a look at the blue
sky and hears the whiz of a bullet to
I remind him that white men have no rights
which sentries are bound to respect. Per
‘ [laps he is able to recollect some law, hu
l ninn or divine, which he has broken heedm
’ iessly or wittingly. The recollection' is fa:-
tal. He is passed over to the court “or-'
gauized to convict.” His ”statement” is
the basis of the charges, and he is convict
. ed. M before his accuiers and his tormen
l tors, he refusgs to open his mouth. he is
’ remanded to the jai , and there confined
5 till the long torture breaks him down and
I"se;nds him to liis‘inamelEss grave, or until,
i perchance, a talk ’gmong the "congressmen
{in the other, the Anew, Capitol, which is
not yet a prison~ frightens Secretaries Sew-'
‘ard and Stanton into a generaljsil delivery
“of those who are deemed powerless to dam
‘ age them by their revelations, and the
transler oi others to someof the forts which
we occupy and possess for such laudable
‘ pzii‘poses, and then the Capitol prison is
left to fillagain witinl‘resh victims.
1 - 'l‘heoourt which tries these prisoners be
l ing one for which there is-no authority of
law, it extorts even from the mouth at
Thaddeus Stevens the filmission that it' is
“composed principally fmen ignorant of
law,” and it makes and gives )udgments
accordingly. The prisoner is protected
from no injustice in the prosecution. He
is’even bereft of the safeguards with which
military honor protects the soldier on triaL.
Every possible rule ofevi‘dcnce is disregar
ded. Ilearsays, rumors, guesses, slander-s,
prejudices, and what'not-, are all elicited,
and taken‘down as so much sifted testimo
ny, and he is a bold [lawyer who dares do
as any right-minded .l'awyenmust do, as
Wm. A. Beach. Esq. of Troy, who defen
ded North and Jones did do, begin by dis—

it should fail in its function as a court “or
gunized to convict,” and, out of sheer sa
tiety of wrong doing, revolt into a few acts
ofjustic'e, and so be dissolved by its master
andlbe‘teplaced by a better, that is, a worse.
one. ~
These coul’ts create crimesunknovrlgtol
the civil or military law, and, there b mg
no punishment prescribed wh’ere there is I
no law, nothing limits the severity of their .
judgment. PersOnu‘. malignity or political
partisanship may sharpenJhe sword, and
against the blow which falls there is no re;
dress for the victim; for the War Depart
ment has issued an order forbidding the
divulging of the judgment of the military
commission in the oase=of alcivilian until
that judgment is executed. So that‘ the
prisoner, who has been arrested in defiance
of law, imprisoned in defiance of law, and ,
convicted in defiance oflaw, is at last pun
"lred in defiance oflaw, and shutout rom ‘
his last‘hope of executive, clemency, and .
the last opportunity erepa'ration, by impd I

ONE or THE' mummy mums.
The Boston Advertiser, s staunch Repub
lican organ, thus notices the arbitrary ar
rest of the Smith brothers of that city by
the military. It says:
“The arrest of the Smith brothers was
madelin June, 1864. It was marked by
every circumstance that could suggest the
blackest-criminalily on their part. Had
they his“ guilty of treason, the proceedin
wouldihave been deemed severe; it would
have been thought unreasonable and even
outrageous, had the charge been murder.
The accused were seized and censigned to
Fort Warren. thh strict injunctions to the
officer} in command not‘toallow them to
communicate with any other person. Bail
to thehmcunt‘ of $500,000 was required—
aubseq‘uently reduced to $40,000. as it be
came evident that‘ matters could be car
ried with too high -a hand—although the
ideaot their undertaking to effect an escape
was fiaipebly a wild absurdity. Their
counting room was broken open, their safe
forced; and their books seized. Their
housed were searched. drawers broken open
and ptivate papers taken away, down to
the letters received by a lady from her per
sonal Ifriends. Their business was summa
rily broken up and destroyed, with, such
probable loss to them as every business
man can understand. And all this, as new
only too certainly appears. was done upon
alventure. Those instigating‘ and reeponsi:
ble for: the proceedings may have thought
it likely that something of importance
might thus be discovered, but they plainly
had nothing of consequence to base their
action upon. Every constitutional safe
guard ‘of personal rights—freedom from
unreasonable searches and seizures, and
from excessive bail—was disregarded, not
from any necessity, but to see what might
result from a blow thus struck at random.
The whole unlimited authority with which
the beople have temporarily intrusted their .
government to meet the terrible exigencies
of civil war was put. forth, and all not only
without necessity, but, as it appears. upon]
grounds which would notjustify the deten
tion of s prisoner in the lock-up over
night. ~ ‘ :__

_ THE PARTY OF FREEDOM.‘
. The Day Book says: We observe et
the Legiglature of the omsovereign State
of Kentucky recently passed a resoiution
asking Gen. Palmer, Mr. Lincoln's comman
der in that department. to restore the priv
ileges of a firee press to the people of that
State. A few years since. the party which
now perpetrales this outrage announced
itself an .the special champion of "free
speech and free press," yet once in power,
and it-hes shown itself,the._most relentless
enemy of nnindegendentand fearless rers.
One ofthe very rst acts it committog was
to make a. general raid upon that portion
of this city which would not succumb to its
tyrannical demands. It sought by aid of
official pbwer, to rum the business and deu
stroy the property of" every man who held
opinions different from those prescribed by
the creed of their own party. And as it has
gone on its career of despotism it has stip
planted a. free press wherever-it has acquired
power. In the “free-State” of Louisiana

the press remains; Even newspapers con

State are not “allowed to circMatewithin the
