THE CHANCEs.-Some Republicans, to
whom discouraged condition of mind is
constitutional, are afraid that the present in
cumbent of the Judicial chair in this Dis
trict cannot be prevented from securing a
reelection. Figures do not lie and the fig
ures tell us that in the Counties Of Dubuque,
Delaware, Buchanan, Black hawk and Grun-
dy, which form the Ninth Judicial District,
Lincoln's majority over Douglas, in 1860,
was $40. In 1861, Kirkwood's majority over
Merritt vas go. We do not believe that
any man universally supposed to be Ma
hony Democrat, and who persistently refus-
es to utter a syllable to remove that impress
sion-a man who was nominated by the
same set OF men from Dubuque, Delaware
and Buchanan Counties that forced the NOM
ination of Mabony upon the West Union
Conventions man whomMahony's vote as
sisted to nominate, and whose nomination
the Dubuque Herald endorses, calling upon
its readers to rally to his support-we say,
We do not believe that any such man, what
ever estimable qualities he may psssess as a
gentleman and citizen, can overcome that
majority of 97O. .~
That is, without culpable negligence on the
part of loyal men who desire to see the re-
sponsible offices of our country filled
with men who AREAS Caesars wife and
Judge Wilson are not)-abovs suspicion

LATER AND BETTER!

From a Dubuque Times Extra, which ar
rived this morning by the night train, we are
enabled to lay before our readers the follow
ing synopsis of glorious news:
Another great battle was fought on Tues
day, in which the rebels were severely pun
ished. Wednesday the battle was renewed
by the rebels with great vigor, they evidently
having been reinforced. The battle lasted
till P. NJ. when the rebels retreated, leaving
Longstreet, and the remnant of his division,
in our hands as prisoners. The dispatch
says: "The entire rebel army will be cap
tured or killed. There is no chance left for
them to cross the Potomac, as the river is
rising, and our troops are pushing them con-
tinually and sending prisoners to the rear "
Since Sunday we have taken, it is said, near
ly $4,000 prisoners. Six batteries of artil-
lery were captured on the 18th. Jackson's
army is with Lee, and will be forced to sur
render in a day or two. Our Generals arc
certain Of ultimate and decisive success.

SUICIDE NEAR ABINGDON A col

SUICIDE NEAR ABINGDON A cor
respondent writing from Abingdon, Hartford
county, on last Friday, says
The usual quiet of this village and vicinity
was sadly disturbed this morning by the an
nouncement that one of its prominent and
highly esteemed citizens had pcrpctratcd
the sad tragedy of taking his own life.
James William Hall, Esq, collector of the
county and State tax for this district, reSid-
ing with his father, Aquilla Hall, Esq,
about one mile and half from this place,
was ihc unfortunate victim of this terrible
act.
Mr.. Hall was appointed collector in the
Spring of this year, since which time he has
assiduously and faithfully performed his
duties. 1t appears that at this time the diff.
ticulties of making the collections properly
are much heavier and more complicated
than formerly, thus increasing the labors Of
the Office. This, coupled with the fear that
his securities might become involved in los
SEES, weighed so heavily upon his mind as to
supcrinducc, it is supposed, temporary in
sanity, and whilst laboring under this he
procured razor and cut his throat. He
took the peculiar precaution to place a
bucket between his knees over which, in a
sitting posture, he held his head until so
weakened it sank back upon the wall. He
was found dead in his room between seven
and eight clock this morning.

A Judicial Opinion of the Rebellion.


Hon. Thcophilus Parsons has written let
ter in which he says:
There are three questions concerning the
Presidents Emancipation Proclamaton.-
One, has he a constitutional power TO issue it
as civil, political or administrative act p
The second, was it cXpedient! The third
has he power as Commander in Chief to issue
it, at this time, as a military act!
Let us separate these questions.
| am sure that the President has no power
to emancipatc Il single slave, as Il civil, polili-
cal or administrative act.
Was it cXpedicnt I leave this question to
the President For he is honest, he is capa-
Bile he las considered the question long,
carefully and painfully, and in all the ren-
tons in which it can present itself. However
wise ! may be, or Judge Curtis may be, on
this subject the President must be wiser, or
all rules of probability fail.
AS to the remaining question, I have not
the slightest doubt of his constitutional power
as CoAmandcr- Chief, to Issue this prucla
nation as military act.
" Tiallcck, when before Corinth. might
have sent force hundred miles to catch
and bring into his lines a hundred negroes
with the wagons, horses, and provisions lhey
were bringing to Beanrcgard. the President
and Commanders Chief, sitting in the cen
ter, with wider views, wider necessities. aud
wider rights to meet those necessities, may,
il he can, prevent the whole mass of slave
from laboring to feed the rebellion. He may,
if he can, by the danger Of instruction, or of
starvation, or of loss Of properly, dishcartcn
the rebels and drive their armies home.
To say otherwise would be to say that he
might strike at rebellion, but must be careful
not to strike away its corn, r-sonc.
Can he do It in fact THIS question
touches the cxpcdiency Of the measure, and
this leave to him. But it does not touch
his military right to threaten it, and do it il he
can.
Rebellion have no rights. If rebellion
means anything it means the remuneration and
destruction of all law. And therefore it is
accursed before God and man.
No Rebel has any right, a regard to which
should weaken or obstruct any military
measure needed to subduc the rebellion.
