Mr.. Mason opposed it as Il meas
ure Of coercion OF tho seeded states
Mr.. Fessenicn defended the meas &.
ure as coming from Democratic
precedent, and eminently necessary
at the present time. If the time
ever comes when it ia necessary TO
use force to execute the laws, he
was quite ready to do it, but no one
dreamed of making this appropria
ton for the purpose of making war.
Mr.. Mason would never vote a
dollar tor such a purpose till il was
announced whether the incoming
administration intended to coerce
the seeding states.
Mr.. King believed that now there
was treason abroad in the land and
there was q necessity to increase the

must come to an end peacefully he
hoped, hut never peacefully if by

COSTRABAND NEGROES.

The Tribune quite approves of Gen,
Butler's decision that negros must here.
after be considered coutraband of war
1t says:-
Gen. Butler is right. lie is a sound
lawyer as we'll as good soldier. He
holds that negro slaves. owned by Seces.
SION masters. in Seeded States, are con.
traband of war. Like the negro himself,
tho Generals postula,c stands on two legs,
viz:
!: Slaves are property in Virginia, in
the language of the law, "to all intcnts,
constructions aud purposes whatsoever"
=. They arc employed in the Secession
States to dig trenches, construct embank-
ments, carry muskets, mount columbiads,
and do sundry other things in aid of the
public enemy. Consequently, :hcy are
as really implements. of war, as ure the
guns they bear for their masters, and the
cannon they mount in embrasures.
Gen. Butler, therefore, is right in re-
garding this peculiar species Of property
rs contraband. Let him continue to trent
all negroes caught within his lines as 50
many muskets aud columbiads, aud no
more think Of giving thcm up to the ene-
my than he would cargo Of captured
shot and she'll. The General, who is a
practical man. will find this sort of contra
band very convenient article when be
gets little deeper down into the land OF
Dixie. With the thermometer ranging a.
lOOo in the shade. and car,hworks to be
piled fifteen feet high, he will find a cou-
pie of hundred contrabaud bipeds attached
to each regiment capital aids to the pick
Ax aDd wheelbarrow corps. As the Cen
eral, being strict constructionist, docs
not feel at hbc,ty to set these negroes free,
nc has done the next best thing BY set
ting them to work.

THE Corros SuppLY.--Aftcr, On cxpc.
rience of more than 80 years Of close sp-
plication. and an expenditure Of nearly
TIVE millions Of dollars in experiments,
tending to develop the soil Of India % .
cotton producing country, the result at
taincd, as reported to the last Parliament
in London, was. THAT cotton can b, cul-
tiy1ted osscs iu- three years only o6:.%i,s
same ground" and that before The cottn,
market in England could be affected to
any extent in prices. it would be necessary
to have yearly crop in India Of about two
millions bales; which would require for its
production su extra quantity of forty-txo
misl;ons ncres Of lan.i, and an additional
increase Of between four and Eve millions
Of laborcrs. The Characteristic persever-
ance which the Manchester men have ex-
hibited in their efforts to obtain from In.
dia q reasonable supply of cotton, Is praise.
worthy; but at the same time nnouestiou-
ably decides that England must look 10
sou's other place than India for her sup-
ply.

A SCRAP FROM IIIsroKY.--It Is a cir
cunnstance somewhat remarkable that Vir-
ginia was the eighth State Of the thirteen
to give in its adhesion to the Federal Con-
sti'ution in 1857. aud is now the eighth
State Of the South to sccede from it. But
what is more. her reluctance TO leave IN.
Union was only equallcd BY her original
aversion to becoming n part of it. under
the Constitution that was presented for rat
ification. The Convention of ITS. was
composed Of members, majority 0. whom
were elected to jcct the Federal Cons.i-
tuition; and it was only after the clause
declaring that "the power granted undo
the Constitution, being derived from the
people Of the United States, may be re-
sn'ncc BY them whensocvcr tie same shall
be perverted to their injury and oppres-
SION. and that every power not granted
thereby, remains with them at their will"
was inserted in the ordinance Of ratiica
tion. that eix OF more of the majority OBJ
posed to the mensnre conaented 10 vote for
it. Even with this accession Of strepRih.
the Constitution was carried only .by q

KENTUCKY DRILL.

/: a gentleman Of New York, who has

scribes, in letter to friend, the pc.
culiari.ies Of the Kentucky drill:
One Of the State cadets was in their en-.

And taking his bowie from his sheath, he

yards, aimed his rifle aud split the ball
upon tho blade.
Their dress is plain blue shirt-like
coat, gathered at the waist, and drab pan

Alabamians is dark green coat and gray

have no particular social position beyond
that Of plain farmers, but they are all ro-

on good lighters. In one of the compan-

So our own Chief Justice Marshall. in
the case Of Bvliman, A Crauch, 100. saws:
IF 1t any time the public safety should
require the suspension Of the power vest
ed by this act (the power to grant writs of
habeds corpnO in the Courts Of the United
States. it is for the Legislature to say SO.
That question depends on political consid-
erations ON which the Legislature is to
decide. Until the Legislative will be ex-
pressed, this Court can only see its duty
and must obey the laws" This was in
u case Of Treason.

Congress to suspend the writ of huJras
corpus in case Of rebellion or invasion.
'hat the right to judge whether the exi-
enlgency had srisen must exclusively be-

so IN 1907, when great alarm existed as

before the Senate in secret session to sus.
pend the writ Of habeas corpus. When
brought into the House Of Representatives.
that body refused to consider it in secret
session. and BY vote Of 113 to 10 reject
Cd the bill on its first reading. On that
occasion MIR. Dana Of Connecticut used
tho following language: This bill au-
th0rizes the arrest of persons not merely
ey the President or other high officers. but

THE EFFECT or THE BLocKApE.-The
New York Herald is now engaged in PROV
ing that the blockade Of Southern po,ts
must prove destructive to European revs-
nues as we'll as to their busiacss Interests.
In proof Of this it cites the following facts:
Our shipments Of tobacco alone to Eu-
rope amount to twenty millions annually.
upon which some sixty four millions Of
revenue are raised, as follows:
British duty on tobacco. S21 200. 900
Dutch duty on tobacco, 20. 600. .O0O
