DoN'T LIKE YANKEEs.--Jef Davis, in one of
his speeches, not great while ago, remarked
with characteristic energy, that
I" He was down on the North and all Yankees
Had he the power he would put every id
Yankee in the middle of h--ll and roll Bunker
Hill monument at the door to keep them there.
Yankees have no souls-they would go to the
very gates Of h----ll for two bits. They had
been aualyzed and found to contain a certain
number of parts of Aboltionism, certain other
parts of Goldfish and potatoes, and the balance

How TRUE Every editor knows the truth Of
the following from the New York Home Journai ::
1t is one of the hardshps Of our profession, that

allowed to lag for sickness, or trouble, or stop
for calamity or sorrow. The Judge may adjourn
his court, the school and workshop may close
shutters, the mourInr may veil features aud turn
friend from the doOr-but the Journalist must
forget before tomorrow, of oday, must write

A TRUE ERIEND.--From 4 Life for a life, an
English book of considerable power and interest,
we quote the following passage
90, the blessing it is to have a friend to whom
one can speak fearlessy on any subject, with
whom one Is deepest as we'll as ones most foolish
thoughts come out simply and safely. o, the
comfort, the inexpressbe comfort Of feeling
safe with a person, having neither to weigh
thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them
all right out, just as they are, chalf and grain
together, certain that faithful hand will take
and sft them, keep what is worth keeping, and
then with the breath Of kindness blow the rest
away.O

HAUNTED HosPIrAL.-We take the following

days ago to the mysterious noises heard nightly
at the County Hospital. We learn that the mys-
terry is yet unsolved. There are now but four
patients in the hospital, apd the overseer is salts
fed that whatever may be the cause of the
strange sounds, are not produced by any living
individual within the building These noises,
we are informed consist of the raising of
windows known to be nailed down, slamming Of
doors known to be locked and barred, the removal
of furniture and bedding, strange footsteps,
groanings, etc, etc. All of these mysteries are
said to be carried on in one room only, and have
continued each night for the last two weeks. at
intervals sometimes Of but few minutes, aud

BLIND FooLING THE BLIND.-IIe is an account
of chap who must have been "going it blind"
in more ways than one:
A blind man named Thomas Bishop is under
bonds in Cleveland, Ohio, to stand his trial on
a charge of marrying three women. all blind,
within the space of eight days The Ledder
says that on the 10th of September he was mar
ried at the American House,sin Cleveland, to a
lady of Huron county, at which time he assumed
the name of William Gibeau Seven days there
after, assuming Tie name Of Gibeaut, he married
young lady of Cleveland. On the next day,
September 18th, he left the city, taking with
him all the clothing and valuables of both
women, and afterwards married third wife in
Marietta, Ohio. He is graduate of the Ohio
State Institute for the blind, at Columbus, as are
all the ladies whom he has succeeded in duping,
and there made their acquaintance a few years
since. The ladies are represented as OF unim-
peachabe character, and are deeply sympathzed

SLIGHT MIsAPPREnENsI0N.-Th N. Y. Free

who, with only an ncipent knowledge of our
vernacular, enlisted in the army, and was sent to
do guard duty. Sentinel" said the officer Of
the day, your duty at this place is to salute all
officers according to their rank, to keep fire from
the magazine and in case the enemy appears, you
are to discharge your musket, and run TO the
camp. DO you understands 7"
" Yes, Lieutenant" replied the German.
1t happened, "A little later, on being question
ed that he understood he had been instructed to
shoot all officers of rank, and then set fire to the
magazine and, if he saw an enemy, to run away
Here is another of the same sort, which is
vouched for by an English paper
An anecdote is related of one Of the citizen
soldiers in the expedition Of the Mcpherson Blues
against the insurgents in 1893, which s worth re-
cording. The person referred to was German
by birth, of the name of KOCH and was well
known, in his day, as large outdoor underwti-
ter. He died some twenty years since in Paris,
whittier he had gone for the benefit of the eli
mate, leaving a fortune estimated at 81 ,00O,0UO.
Koch was "a private in the Mcpherson Blues 1t
fell to his lot one night to be stationed sentinel
over baggage wagon. The weather was cold,
raw, stormy and wet. This set the sentinel mus
ing. After remaining on duty hal-anh hour, he
was heard calling Justify:
"Corporal of der quartz! Corporal OF der

The corporal came, and inquired what was the
matter.

BALTIMORE.
WEDNESDAY, MAY %, 1861.

The fact that detachment of federal troops
yesterday seized a lot of arms belonging to the
State of Maryland would, under ordinary circum-
stances, call for some comment. In our present
situation, however, no outrage can surprise our
citizens, and no atrocity the government officials
can now commit can be of so startling character
as to demand more than a passing notice. The
authorities, by surrendering the keys of the
building in which these arms stored, pursued,
in our judgment, prudent course. They were
powerless to make any adequate resistance, and,
considering the feeling that now exists among
our people, there would have been every chance
of collision between them and the troops, if the
latter had been suffered to resort to force in order
to secure the arms in question. The ultimate con-
sequences of such struggle, at this time, 1t is
easy to foresee, and are therefore glad that the
authorities seem determined that no act of theirs
shall be the direct or indirect cause of an out
break.
The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1861-05-22

the authorities had been as .remias or as guilty
as he has said it would have i'll become him to
assume the office of public censor. He is the last
man who should complain that political sins or
errors have not been expiated in the Peniten-
tiary. There is, moreover, another reason why
Mr.. DAVIS fulminations will not be likely TO re-
dound TO his advantage, or to produce much
impression on the public They have lost
their force through the frequency and reck-
lessness with which they have been launched
against any and every body that ever
dissented from his views. While his par
tisans have always been, both in their
principles and practices, the most immacu-
late Of men, it has been his invariabIe
custom to treat his opponents as being wholly
devoid both of integrity and good sense Cath
olics and foreigners, Democrats and Reformers,
have all in turn been the objects of his most We
hement objurgation. With these facts fresh in
the memory of our citizens, they will scarcely be
apt to attach any great Importance to the sweep
ing and indiscriminate denunciations of Mr.. DA-
WIS., last harangue.

Squire It," Tho suspensory power Of Congress
in the excepted cases. of course follows, but it is
given thus only. In the Convention which
framed the Constitution, the exceptions
were allowed but grudgingly, with a
negative vote of three States. Since the organ
ization of the Government Congress has never
exercised its power in the premises. 1t was
never attempted but once, and then unsuccess-
fully, during the BURR conspiracy in 1907. The
Senate passed the bill, but the House of Represen-
tatives rejected it by vote of ll3 to 10. The
idea OF giving such power to the President
never entered until now into the imaginations Of
men. 1t had not existed as a royal prerogative in
England from the days of the Commonwealth, and
no State of the thirteen would have submitted TO it
to establish an hundred Unions. Upon this point
as upon the others presented there is no room for
cavil or discussion. 1t has been matter of ex-
press adjudication. Chief Justice MARSHALL, de-
livering the opinion of the Supreme Court, in the
well known historical cases of Bollman & Swart-
won't, decided in 1907, "a Cranch, 75, sets the
question at rest. 'If at any time" says he, "the
''public safety should require the suspension OF
the powers vested by this 1.-THE habeas corpuS) act
Gin the Courts of the United States, 1t is for ht
"Legislature to sag so. That question depends on
'pOlcaL Considerations on aohich the Legislature Il
ITO decide. Until the Legislative uW be expressed
this Court can only sec its duty, and must obey tn
"laaos." Nor can Congress confer upon the Pres
ident, or upon any other person or persons what
ever, the power of suspending the habeas corpus--
any more than it could confer the power of declae
ring war, or passing laws. The Legislature mus
itself exercise the prerogatve, it cannot be con
stitutionally exercised at all. trust confded by
the Constitution can be deleg ated; and leas
of all, the highest of legislative trusts the CUSTODY
of the great rights of liberty and life.
The truths which we have thus stated are funda
mental and abSolute-part and parcel of the char
ter of American freedom-as indisputabe as tn
existence Of the Republic, and as sacred as tn
blood with which its foundations were cemented
| Until this moment, to have denied them wou
have been regarded as insanity or folly, or mora
treason. 1t is Notifying and humiliating to Sc
how many, among those who are the victims G
their violation, are now so forgetful Of their exist
ence, as to concede that it may be the subject G
discussion Manhood does not require Us to resis
overpowering wrong; but no man deserves the nam
who will not protest, even in chains, against usur
patton and oppression. 1t is Cor Mr.. WHITE
DAVIS, and such as he, to Justify the overthrow Q
the Constitution by the ''necessity'' of maintain
ing the Government, and to sneer at the assertion
of the rights of the people against absolute power
as pettifogging enquiry, "whether the writ G
''ejecment will lie.'
