REPUBLICAN TESTIMONY TO RE
PUBLICAN CRIMES.
Letter from Judge Knapp of Utah.
LA MESILLA, NEW MEXICO, March 3
MESSRS. AT WOOD ARCBDEE: Thank you,
gentlemen, for having denied for me the im
putation of being a copperhead. Yet I atn
half inclined to be provoked that you should
have ha<l a doubt upon that subject. You
know that I have steadily acted and voted
with the Republican party since that party
was first formed in Madison. You also know
that 1 belonged to the free soil wing of the
Democracy, though I never did go ruuch on
Booth.
Abraham Lincoln was my especial candi
date for President, in preference to all oth
ers before the Chicago convention, and he is
mine now for re-election. I may be '• an
eccentric man/' aid even " excitable," but I
will never consent to a dissolution of the
Vnion, nor allow the Constitution of the Uni
ted States to be violated in the least paiticu
lar, if I Can prevent ft; and it is because I
would not consent to violations of if that I
did not and could not go to Santa Ee on the
first of January last, to attend the Supreme
Court. I would not by any act or example
of mine, allow a military despotism to be
set up in New Mexico or elsewhere, in viola
lation of Constitution, the rights of the peo
ple, and the laws of Congress. That is the
sum of the offending. Twice I attempted to
go and was prevented by the commanding
officers of the army here, even to being ar
rested and taken from the stage in which 1
had engaged my passage ; while before and
after, others not in office were allowed to
travel by the same conveyance, without com
plying with their unjust and illegal de
mands. Twice I have been arrested by
them and sent to the guard house, under in
dignities winch none but copperheads or des
pots could invent. One of them has taken
occasion to inform me that he did it because
he thought I " needed a Utile wholesome co
rectionf Because 1 have steadily insisted
upon my rights, as an officer of the United
States government, the whole tribe of cow
ards and traitors here have hooted after me;
and finally, to injure me in Washington,
some copperhead in Santa Fe has sent over
the wires, on the 21 of last month, a dis
patch walling me a copperhead.
In not going, I may have acted " absurd
ly," but did not act " inconsiderately," and
I have the consolation of knowing that At
torney-General Bates, to whom I have com
munteated ail the facts and the correspon
dence had with the general in command at
this place, has approved ray course and de
termination in the business. Hitherto 1
have only complained to the proper depart
ments for a redress of the grieveances of the
people, except by letters addressed to the
Generals themselves, in what manner they
had violated their positive duties, and to
which they have attempted no replies.
HjThere are but live Republicans in San a
Fe, not one of whom wrote this dispatch, as
they know better, and all of them, suffering
like myself, approve of what 1 have done
?o. I say it was written either by men who
always hiv'C been and now are in the ranks
of the cofipt.'heads, or who at the outbreak
ing of the rebellion ,7 t,re cheek by jowl with
the traitors, or by the comniu n^'r ar *
my, who has never hired to meet ths enemy
That you may know seme thing of what
has been done in this out-of-the-way place,
and what it is that I resist, { wi'! state a
few general facts which i am prepared to
prove before any court where the rules of
law and evidence prevail. I cannot ask you
to hear or read particulars, as they are le
gion, commencing with the advent of Gener
als Carelton and West into New Mexico, and
continued to this dale; and by whom I have
not been permitted to perform the duties
imposed upon me by law, unless I will ac
knowledge their illegal usurpations of pow
ers—which I will never do.
These Generals and their subordinates
have trampled down all the laws of Congress
and the rights and liberties of the people,
and set themselves up as superior to the
Constitution and laws of the United States.
They have usurped the power of the leg
islative, executive, and judicial departments
of the government ; stopped the members of
the Legislature from attending its se-sions,
and passed orders in direct violation of the
Constitution, which thoy enforce at the point
of the bayonet.
They have usurped the powers of the
court, both federal and territorial, and com
pelled citizens to answer in courts martial
for acts not prohibited by any law, or even
military order ; as well for offenses against
the which were cognizable
by courts established by Congress, as for
acts not evil of themselves, but which were
elevated in;o crimes and misdemeanors by
the imaginations of these officers, and pro
mulgated for the first time, to the person
charged, at the time of the trial.
They have for a money consideration
granted licenses to men to keep gambling ta
bles, in direct violation of tho laws of the
territory, and to the evil examples and morals
of the community.
They have forcibly taken a citizen, bound
over to answer to the District Court of the
United Sttea for an o* >nse a g ain t
of CongroM, Jr*m the custody oourt,
"TO SPEAK HIS THOUGHTS IS EVERY FREEMAN'S RIGHT. "—Thomas Jeflerson.
TUNKHANNOCIv, PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 1864.
and compelled him to a trial before their
own courts, for the satne offense, disregard
ing the prisoner's plea to the jurisdiction of
the District Court previously obtained, and
the express exaotment of Congress.
In the trial of causes in their courts-mar
tial they openly declare that they will not
proceed according to law or the Constitu
tion of the United States, but will not act
upon their own opinio.:s without regard te
the law.
In the enforcement of their arbitrary wills
which must of necessity be unknown to the
accused until he is arrested, their subordi
nates have by their orders shot dowD citi
zens in the streets, and committed many
other offenses against the acts of Congress
and the territory.
They have c'osely confined citizens for
days, weeks, and months, whipped thein
with horsewhips, and otherwise tortured
them to make confessions of crimes, and
have condemned Vnein to hard labor, loaded
with chains and balls, and then released
them without any charges being made
against them, or their being informed of the
cause of their imprisonment and punishment.
Others they have removed from their busi
ness and homes ; and they have prohibited
all from traveling from place to place upon
both public and private business.
Having arrested citizens, they have neg
lected to give anv information of such ar
rests to the proper departments at Washing
ton ; and by that means the Secretaries of
Wa. atul of State are unable to furnish the
lists of prisoners to the judges of the territo
ry for trial, or relief upon habeas corpus, as
provided by law.
Being suspected of offenses and pec'ulitions
they have arrested witnesses against them.
removed them from their hemes, to pre
vent their testimony from being taken by
an officer of government sent to inquire int >
their conduct.
The subordinates have refused obedien c
to the writ of habeas corpus in words not
proper to be written, and, with full knowl
edge of.the facts, the Generals have not dis
approved of the acts.
They have by force taken away the prop
erty of citizens without compensation, and
resisted with arms the writ of replevin to
retake the same, when i*6ued from tie Dis
trict Court of the United States.
Well informed of murders and robberies
committed by Indians near and at their posts
and headquarter, they had threatened to
chastise the informants, and taken no steps
to punish the Indians or protect the citizens
from theif aggressions ; and while reporting
to the War Department that they have se
verely punished the Indians and subdued
them, they well know that these have never
been so hostile or committed such "duringrob
beries and murders since this territory wa
conquered by the American arms ai at the
present time; and when citizens have traced
the Indians to their lairs and offered to
guide the troops to them, these officers have
refused to follow them, or give supplies to
citizens to conquer then.
They have received money upon trust and
applied the same to ther own private uses,
and refused to refund it or to make any resti
tution to the cestui que trust.
They have taken upm themselves to deter-
QUI Jp<>n the probable guilt of ci'.izens of the
republic of Mexico, and to return them to
that repul?'' 3 ! ' n violation ot the treaty with
Mexico; and have eucred that republic with
armed force and arrested and carried oil' per
sons not liable to be taken there from.
They have committed crimes of various
kinds againts the laws of the -United States
and the territory, and defy the courts and
officers or justice to punish them.
They have destroyed the military posts lo
cated ou Government and Indian lands and
built up at the expense.'of thousauds, perhaps
millions, of dollars to the government, and
then quartered themselves in rented houses,
where they live m opeu prostitution with
the women, and in not a few iidian-.es driv
ing husbands from their beds, in other sedu
cing wives to desert their homes and families
thus depraving their commands and them
selves and rendering all unfit for service.
They have set up in New Mexico a milita
ry d.;potism worse and more oppressive ihan
the worst and most cruel tyrants of any coun
try had ever established, and threaten citi
zens with imprisonment and death who dare
oppose their unjust and oppressive measures;
and all that is done when no enemy is
near or any necessity exists for their con
duct.
The people of New Mexico are dumbfound
ed. and 'lare neither complain nor give evi
dence while there remains a possibility of
their being liable to answer to these tyran
nous usurpers of their rights and liberty—
Under threats of being treated as traitors to
the government they have been compelled by
fear to petition to have martial law made
permanent ever them. To resist these usur
pations and violations of the laws and rights
of the people is in vain to attempt here while
they command the armies of the United
States to enforce their wills. No man in
New Mexico dare oppose their will, and
knowing this, I have made appeals to the
President, and he has issued his orders,
which these General's have set at defiance
tod because they koo w that I have done so
they have undertaken this means and coward
ly process to injure me.
But I must dose this already too long com
munication, the first and only one I have
written of such a nature, as I had hoped that
these evils and grievances would be removed
by the government in a brivatu manner.—
But after waiting for nearly six months af
ter the departments are informed, and see
ing no signs of relif, bat that matters grow
daily more unendurable. I must confess to
some eccitabilily , and further, I confess to
that sort of eccentricity that loves to stand
in the ways and ask for the old paths by
which our government came to be the migh
ty nation of freemen and house of refuge to
to the oppressed. I love more than life all
her old monuments, an 1 her old dialect is
sweeter than music to my May I never
live to see one of those old monuments crum
ble in the dust, or be broken down by tne
hand of thedefamer, nor her soil diminished
bv the breadth of a hair. My motto is— LET
THE UNION BE PERPETUAL ; and by the Con
stitution I live or die. J. G. Knapp.

With a single exception, when has one of

been courtmartialed or punished? To-day,

[Xe.v-York Trihne, March 28-J
This nation has learned, by a very exten
sive experience, that war is a season of pros
perity to scoundrels. It is, to some extent,
inevitably so,but. in our case, immeasurably
and incredibly so. We have rascals of all
degrees and kinds, incapable importers, doing
no work, and drawing full pay— gold gam
blers, to whom patriotism and loyalty are
but empty namse, and in whose there is
nothing but speculation,—swindlers and rob
bers all. Every one of them is practically a
traitor, &.C., &c.

The evidence for the inspiration of thef 119J
psalm is clearer than the evidence that its
apparant meaning is its real one : therefore, if
it be needful to adopt the alternative that the i
psalm is not of divine origin, or else that it '
does not utter a wish for the woes of the trai- i
tors' household , we have a logical right to in- ;
terpret the psalm as breathing a spirit not of
positive desire for these woes, hut of cordial
admission to them. [! !] Thus ;
It is the divine plan to afflict the small
household of the traitor, and thereby save
the large multitudes who had otherwise been
undone by his trearon. Therefore, while
livers of waters run down my eyes, I sing,—
"Let his children be fatherless,*
"And his wife a widow :
"Let his children be continually vagabonds
and beg :
"Let them seek their bread also out of

[From the Christian Inquirer, Unitarian, Anti-Slave
ry, published at New Yrk
In several libraries of New England
clergymen we have]seen choice volumes of
great cost, bearing the names of southern
ministers to whom they still belong , although
they have been sent North as gifts from Yan
kee soldiers who had appropriated them.—
Some Massachusetts parlors are said to be
carpeted with spoils of another kind. Now,
if any one asks what has become of the Un
ion party, once so strong at the South, we
answer that, in part, they have been alien
ated from the government by the unjuatifi
ble outrages committed by wicked or thought
less federal soldiers, At Beaufort, South
Carolina, tombs were violated. At Holly
Springs, Miosiosippi, a communion table was
used in behalf of "euchre" and "old sledge."
Such tales* of wrong have infuriated many
who were disposed to be friends of the Union
and their righteous indignation has had some
thing to do with reverses that haye overtaken
our arms."
The Inquirer quotes with indignation, "a
letter from an officer, written at camp Saxton
Beaufort, South Carolina, in which he says :
"I ne splendtd mansion once occupied by
that arch rebel, T. Butler King, is on a Geor
gia island and we striped it of everything
I write this letter on his writing desk, which
with his piano, was presented to me, on my
return.'"
[Charles Sumner on the True Grandeur of Nations.]
"It cannot be doabted that this strange
and unblessed conjunction of the Christian
clergy with war has had no little influence in
blinding the world to the truth now begin
ning to be recognized, that Christianity for
bids the whole custom of war.
"Such is the true image of Christian duty
nor can I really perceive the d ifforence in
principle between those ministers of the Gos
pel who tucmslves gird on the sword, as in
olden time, and those others who, unarmed
and : u customary black, lend the sanction of
their presence to the martial array, or to any
form of preparation for war."

THE FIRST STRIKING CLOCK. la tha time
of Alfred the Great, the Persians imported
into Europe a machine which presented the
first rudiments of a striking clook. It was
brought as a present to Charlemagne from
Abdallash, king of Persia, by two monkl of
Jerusalem, iu the year 800.
Among other presents, says Eginhsrt, was t
horologe of brass wonderfully constructed by
mechanical artifice, in which the course of
the twelve hours elpsydram vertebatur, with
as many little brass balls, which, at the close
of each hour, droped down oa sort of a heft
beneath, and sounded the end of the hour.—
There were also twelve figures of horsemen,
who, when the twelve hours were completed
issued out of twelve windows, which till then
stood open, and returning again, shut the
windows after them-. It is to be remember
ed that Eginhart was an eye-witness of what
is here described, and that he was an abbot,
a skillful architect, and learned in the sci
