A PrEcEDgNr-During the Crimean
war, the British government complained
because Russian vessels were building in
American ports. Our government,
through its official representative, re-
piled, the Americans being neutrals, had
a right to sell to the belliserent powers
articles contraband of war, or to take
munitions Of war upon board their pri-
vate ships for transportation, but admit
ted that they had no right to " fit out
within the limits of the United States a
vessel to commit hostilities against any
State with which the United States are at
peace, or to increase the force of any
armed vessel intended for such hostilities
against friendly State" The Albany
Journal, in recalling this action on the
part of our Government says it is i'm
portant, inasmuch as Earl Russell re-
Gently cited the conduct of our Govern
ment during the Crjmean war as pre-
cedent for England now.

re- Mr.. Vallandigham resolution
requesting the Judiciary Committee to
inform the House upon what authority
the Postmaster General has assumed to
declare that certain public papers shall
and to exclude them therefrom, was
adopted We shall look with some curl
osity for the snswer. \ more tyrannical
and lawless act was never perpetrated
than such exclusion by the Postmaster
General.
The idea that Postmaster can dis
criminate, and refuse to allow persons
whom he dislikes to use the mails, is too
monstrous to be entertained for a mo-
ment. There is no usurpation of the
Administration that has been more high
handed and obnoxious than this.-Ciis-
cinnah Enquirer.
During the Pierce and Buchanan ad-
ministrations certain postmasters, espe-
! cially in the South. assumed the power
to exclude from the mails whatever news
papers they pleased. They exercised
! their tyranny chiefly if not altogether
toward few Eastern papers charged
/ with Abolition Their antipathy to Abo-
Iition was of course all right and proper,
but we repeatedly expressed our strong
condemnation of what we considered
their usurpation of authority. At that
time, however, we could not get any pa
pers of the class to which the Cincinnati
Enquirer belonged to Join in the con-
demnation. So far from it, we were evil
IDENTITY looked on by them as quasi Abo-
litionists for denying the right ofpostmas-
tiers to toss out of the mails all papers
accused Of Abolition.
Certainly it was not more allowable
for postmasters to throw abolition papers
out of the mails in time Of peace than ii
is to throw disloyal papers out in time OF
war. We consider both wrong, wholly
wrong. We think both deserving ofpun-
ishment The prerogative of stopping
the circulation Of papers for abolition
ism or for treason doesn't belong to dep
uty-postmasters or to the z. N. General
Let the Government make whatever laws
it deems necessary to the preservation Of
the peace and harmony of the land, and
ifEditors or publishers violate those laws
let them be punished for the crime, bu
we want no pOstoliice functionarles o.
vigilance committees sitting in judgmen
to decide what papers may circulate
through the country and what ones mus
not A Cabinet officer has no more RICH
to order depredations upon the mail
than we have,-LOu. Journal

Mcdowell Court orInquiry.

Especial to tho Missouri Democrat
WASHINGTON, Dec 5.--In the Mcdowell
Court of Inquiry to- day, Mcdowell offer
ed testimony from Col Ruggles to prove
that Col Goodwin, who had sworn to hav-
ing seen Mcdowell drunk, was a man ut
terly untrustwortby, and devoid of per-
sonal character; had been engaged in at
tempted frauds on the Government etc,
but the Court ruled this testimony out.
Mcdowell then submitted written pro-
test against being thus refused permits
sion to prove said Goodwin to have been
an inmate of the New York penetentiary,
and otherwise of such character as not
to entitle his testimony to any credit
whatever.
Gen Heintzelman testified that to his
personal knowledge, Mcdowell had been
a total abstinence man for years.
The following additional Brigadier
Generals for Illinois were appointed on
the Doth of November: Colonel John f.
Smith, of the Galena regiment, Col John
/ Framework and Col Isham n. Haynes.

The Pope and Porter difficulty nov
being investigated by Court Martial
seems likely to prove a sort of a Kilken-
ny cat fight, Each General will succeed
in somewhat damaging the reputation of
the other. Pope was erOss-eXamined to-
day at great length, with results which
Porter's counsel seems to think very
favorable. The strongest point they
made against Pope was his having told
Porter several days after the alleged dis
obedience of orders that he did not think
him in fault

The McCIernand Expedition.

We find the following among the tele-
graphic dispatches received last eight:
"Gen Fremont's staff officers, Of
whom seven Colonies are now in New
Yovk, are of the opinion that the Gener-
al will commandsthe Mississippi opening
expedition, instead of McClernand."
We have no doubt that the late order to
Gen Fremonta.at St Louis, to report inn
mediately at Washington. has something
to do with his again assuming COM
mand. We are informed on the most
reliable authority that Gen. McClernand
will not cammand the Mississippi river
expedition.
Gen. McClernand was originally as
signed to this command by the President
But Gen Halleck, it appears, dislikes
McClernand, and claims that he is not a
good fighting man, his gallantry at Bel
mont, Forts Henry and Donelson, and
Shiloah to the contrary notwithstanding.
In other words, Halleck does not like
| McClernand, and fears he may be in his
way for the-Presidency, possibly-and
so he has determined to shelve him, with
Mcclellan and others.
So, on his way to Columbus to organ
ize the Mississippi expedition, Gen. Nc
Clernand was met at Cairo by a telegram
from Gen. Halleck, ordering him to
Springfield, Ills, where he now is en-
gagged in organizing Illinois regiments
and doing other small chores. All the
men for his expedition who had arrived
at Columbus were sent to Gen Sherman
at Memphis, and arc now under his com
mand in the field, while the balance Of
the. troops going forward for the expedi
ton will be organized and commanded
