"S1MoN CAMERON, Sec'y of War
Military Collection Of Debts.

The decision of Judge Freeze, if con-
frmed by the President, viii be a prece-
dent of vast importance. Messrs. Bowen,
Holmes & Co, OF New York, and Messrs.
NJ. L. Hallowell & Co, of this city, have
sued Wilmer q Co, of Alexandra, in the
Provost Court, for debt due them. Gen
eral Porter is the Provost General, and
J. r. Freeze, Assistant Adjutant- General
u. S. A, is the Provost Judge.
The decision is unequivocal that the
goods remaining at Alexandria, part of
them having been removed, shall be given
up to the plaintiffs, that they make good
their claim, One of the partners of Wit
mer & Co. was present, and defended the
case. The principal ground of defence is
that the court had no jurisdiction in the
case, and the defendants ask that if the
decision be against them, the matter be
referred for final adjudication TO the Pres
ident of the United States. Judge Freeze
decides that he has jurisdiction, that AL
exandria is under martial law, and other
courts suspended. there would be no re-
dress for honest creditors if the Martial
Court refused to act, and that this would
be giving aid and comfort to the rebels,
by allowing them to retain the property of
loyal citizens in their hands. He refuses
to allow bubbles or delays, but suspends
the decree of the court for FIVE days, until
the President can be consulted
The question is one Of great interest
and Importance. The military power is
gradually overshadowing everything, not
withstanding our traditionary dread of
standing armies. 1t is truly remarkable
that the abuses have been so few. And
yet there seems no escape from the con-
clusions of Judge Freeze. Justice must
be done in the best way we can. A state
of war is an anomaly, and we cannot al
low advantage TO be taken by traitors of
bubbles to escape justice. We shall look
for the decision of the President and Cab
met with much interest,"
The Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1859-1865, 1861-11-07
Put Them Through.

Privateering under the letters OF Iparque
of JEFF. Davis is piracy, and the penalty
of piracy is death A number of the
scamps engaged in this nefarious business
having been tried and convicted in the
United States Courts, the question arises,
what disposition will be made of them by
the government? That they sought to be
hung, and well hung at that" will, we
feel sure, be the general feeling in the
North but then there are other consider
ations connected. with this matter which
must not be overlooked.
1t is we'll known that there are num-
Der Of brave and good men from the North
now imprisoned at the South and, as our
government cannot exchange prisoners,
without tacitly acknowledging the indie
pendence of the Southern Confederacyt IT
is quite likely that most, if not all of these
unfortunates will be detained there until
peace is In some way re-estabhshed 1t is
feared, therefore, by many, that the South
would rctaliate upon these men, if our
government should inhict death upon tie
piratical convicts; and it is urged that
humane administration ought rather to
permit the guilty to escape their deserts,
than to involve the innocent and worthy
in ruin.
1t is not always practicable to punish
bold violators of the law promptly, without
inficting great distress upon innocent
people, and we readily admit the trying
position of the administration in the prem
ises. But, upon the whole, we think the
majesty of the law ought to De vindicsted,
and these malefactors punished "Every
tub should stand on its own bottom The
government has now an opportunity of
setting an example-of showing the igno-
minious fate which awaits all who vould
trample upon its laws with impuniy land
lswe hope it will embrace it. These convicts
are not only pirates but traitors.' and
ought to swing, let the consequences be
what they may. Fiat .justitia ,uat cael,n,
say we: 'sLet justice be done though the
heavens should fall"
The Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1859-1865, 1861-11-07

The question of government has always
been popular one, but it has become es-
pecially SO to the people of the North since
their brethren of the South have underta-
ken, by force of arms, to carry out their
odious doctrine of Secession. We believe
we have not hitherto written anything
bearing directly upon this topic, and it
may not be amiss, therefore, to glance
briefly at some of the principles which
underlie the institutions Of our Republic.
Our government is an exceedingly COM
plicated fabric, and well deserving of
much more careful study than it receives
from large portion of those who exercise
the privileges of citizens.
What, then, is the character of the pc
culiar form of government which the
founders of the American Republic aimed
to establish?
It has been asserted BY "SoutherE
gentleman" that sal government begins
1eiM usurpation, and as continued 6y force,
bat the great charter Of our independence
declares, that governments der-ige their just
posoers from, the consent of tie gopermed.'-
Unquestioaably the latter declaration Is
the. correct one, so far, at any rate, as our
own government is concerned. The "just
powers" vested in the government Of a
free republic, are neither more nor less
than the result of voluntary abandonment
of individual freedom-a surrendering mp
o. what can be of no great value to the
individual--iu return for the benefits Of
security, the enjoyment of property, and
the preservation of order. \ government
go constituted is union of the people, for
the accomplishment of mutual benefits aud
advantages, and without which they can
no, be secured. Experience has shown
that the people of a country are ever in
danger of having outrages perpetrated up
on them, by rapacious nations, and of
having their liberties imperiled through
the ambition and avarice of their fellow
men. The great aim Of an honest govern
ment. therefore, is TO defend its people
from these ahf kindred dangers, and this
object was never successfully attained I'm
til after the formation of our Republic. 1t
has been accomplished through our insti-
tutions, in much greater degree than
any other, and our people, it cannot be
deniea, hare enjoyed more security and
