Bishop Ames and HarniIton Fish.

The Commissioners, appointed by our Gov.
ernment to look after the prisoners Of war In
the hands of the Confederate authorities, are
thus noticed by the Chicago Times'
Bishop Ames was born at Athens, Ohio, in
1906. After receiving his education In the
Ohio University, he was for three years an in.
struotor In a college in Illinois. He was licensed
to preach In 1880, was soon after assigned to the
Indiana Conference, and ordained successfully
Deacon and Elder. He took part in the Gem
eral Conference of the Methodists held in Bal.
timore In le40, and in i642 officiated as Chap
lain to o council of Choctaws, being the first
Chaplain ever elected by an assembly of In.
dians. From 1874 until 1859, when be was
made Bishop, he travelled as Presiding Elder
through various districts of Indiana.
Hamilton Fish, the other Commissioner, Is
well known and esteemed throughout the coun-
try. He has occupied not few important and
responsible positions, sustaining always o fair
reputation as statesman and politician. He
is native of New York city, and lineal
descendant of Gov. Stuyyesant--'Peter the
Headstrong." In le43 theWhg party elected
him a member OF the twenty eighth Congress
In l647 he was chosen Lieutenant Governor
and the year following was elected Governa ol
the State. His next appearance on the politi.
cal stage was as United States Senator for New
York, which Office he assumed in 1851, and held
for six years with creditable ability. His ante
cedents and character would seem to ft him
well for the responsible position to which he hal
just been appointed by the administration, HI
Is exceedingly mild, urbane, and polished in
manners, possessing a fine figure, and gifted
with powers of persuasion in high degree.
What lends great Importance to the appoint
ment of these Commissioners is the fact that, II
they succeed in reaching Richmond, they will
doubtless at once institute comprehensive and
thorough system Of exchange OF prisoners.

A CLERK in one of the departments in Wash
iDgton was lately detected In the act OF com.
municating information to the rebels, and was
discharged. A few days after, he
appeared at the Secretary's Office with letter
asking his reappointment. This letter was from
q Governor OF one of the Western States. He
writes to the Secretary that the ex-clerk was an
old and intimate friend Of his, good and loyal
citizen; has been most unjuslly dealt by, and
winds up by asking it as Q particular personal
favor that Mr.. ex Clerk be reinstated 10 his Of
fee. And the request was Immediately COM
piled with. Directly after, an acquaintance
meeting Mr.. Reinstated, said to him; "Where
did you get acquainted with Governor --w

to him In my life" "How, then, did you get

WILI1M D. KMaIN was convicted in Michigan

circumstances. In accordance with the Law Of

Democracy Necessary to Restoration
of the UnLOns

The concessions which are daily being made
to the potency OF Democratic principles are but
repetition, of history. The political creed
framed by Jefferson and Madison, and defined
and fulfilled by subsequent Democratic states
men, embodies the fundamental principles upon
which the Union was founded, and must be co.
equal with the Government. A violation of
the Democratic faith is violation of the spirit
of the Constitution, and the most sacred In.
stlnots of the people. A departure from that
faith eugenders discord, oppression, taxation
and dissolution. The time has never been in
the history Of the Government when perma.
nent triumph Of the opposition to Democracy
would not have engsndered great troubles In
volving either separation, or an essential change
In the character Of the Government. We have
been saved heretofore from the evils Of opposi-
tion triumphs by the immediate revulsions in
popular sentiment. We may be saved this time
from the disaster of Democratic defeat by an
equally thorough change in popular sentiment.
This, now, as in times past, Is the sole rational
ground for hope. pe.--Mils0Gakee NesUs.
