TIE PROVISIONAL REMEDIES OF TIE CODE or

5Os John :. N0oihies.
The portion of the Code Of Procedure devoted 70
provisional remedies in civil actions il here made tho
subject Of spccial comment and illustration BY an
eminent uris, If this city. In treating the subject,
the divisions Of the Code followed, and the mat,

attachments, receiyors, and several miscellaneous
topics The author follows the various changes

Just rules of interpretation. that the power Of
Congress to punish treason by death aud forfeiture
of estate is absolute and Unlimited provided, that
if anGinder shall be one of the punishments in
cted upon traitors, such at'ander shall not er "a
termini "work corruption Of blood or forfeiture OF
estate except during the life Of the person at
tainted; - and if Congress impose upon traitors
the punishment Of orfeiture by statute, such for
FIXTURES arc not required by the Constitution, as
some have supposed, to be limited to life estates
only.
Chapter vi sets forth the statutes Of the United
States which are now in operation for the punish
ment of treason, and shows that the statute of
1862, called the Coniiscation Act, is neither bill
of attainder nor an er post taeto law.
Chapter VII enumerates many crimes which
have been committed by rebels during the present
war, other than treason, and calls for legislation
proper for their punishment. 1t then calls atten-
ton to the fact that the famous 9th section OF
the act of 1862 does not purport to punish tren-
son; comments on the probable construction OF
tlat act compares tho severity Of different pun
iii nents, and concludes that this section is not
within the prohibition Of Art. III, Section Sd OF
the Constitution.
The author then illustrates the practical work
ing of the statute of 1862 in connection with
other statutes of the United States, which will
regulate procedures under it, namely, the statutes
which require grand and petit jaries to DO drawn
from persons in the district where the crime was
committed; also, as Southern juries will sympa-
thize with their neghbors, and are believers in
State sovereignty and the rights Of secession and
other doctrines inconsistent with the laws OF the
United States, no traitor will ever DO convicted,
and no property will ever be confscated under The
present laws if the execution of the laws depends
upon the cooperation of Rebel and Secession ju-
rors; that the only laws which will be- effectual
are those which require no enemy Of the United
States to enforce them, and that, finally, the
statute of limitations fl790 will probably cut of
all prosecutions or confscatons before they can
be enforced against the offenders.
Chapter VIII shows how far the General Gov
eminent have the right to interfere with the do
nestle affairs Of any one Of the States under the
Constitution; also how far Congress are author
led to interfere for and against Slavery, con-
Guiding that "t is not possible justly TO deny the
right OF Government to interfere with Slavery,
MormoniSm. or any other institution, condition, or
social status into which the subjects OF the United
States can enter, whenever such interference be-
comes essential "a means Of public welfare or
common defense
The argument is conducted throughout with
great fairness, combined with remarkable pre-
cision of statement, and aptness of Illustration.
Mr. Whiting has performed an excellent service
by the reasonable publication Of bis vigorous es
say, which cannot fail to exert deep and whole
some influence on the public mind.

FRIDAY MORNING. MARCH Z. 1867.
JEFF. DAVIS INAUGURAL.

The inaugural address OF Jcf. Davis on
being inducted into Office as President for
six years Of the bogus cOniederacy, on the
22l inst, is Of a piece with his productions,
generally, while acting as President of the
Provisional Government, viz a string Of
gross misrepresentation and bold lalsehoods,
from beginning to end. About third of it
Is occupied with repetition of the slang
falsehoOds repeated ten thousands of times
by the southern politicians against the people
Of the north, and he dilates on "tho malign-
ity and barbarity.' as he calls it, of the
northern states in the prosecution Of the ex..
isting war. To escape 1.-THE despotism of
numbers, we determined" he says, "to make
new association composed of states homo
geneOus in interest. in policy and feeling"
OF course he omits all allusion to the seizure
by the rebels of forts, vessels, guns, srsenals,
mints, the bombardmcnt Of Fort Sumter, ,and
other acts of war committed by them, and
proceeds as follows
True to our traditions Of peace and our
love Of justice, We sent commissioners to the
United States to propose fair and amicable
settlement of all questions Of public debt or
property which might be in dispute, but
the government at Washington, denying our
right to sell-government, refused even to
listen to any proposals for a peaceful separ
alton. Nothing was then left to us but to
prepare for war.
Starting with six States, be says they now
number eleven, and he believes Maryland
will be with them when able to speak with
unstiaed voice. The people Of the confede-
rate states are, he says, wonderfully uuani-
nous, and though "the tide for the moment
is against them be considers that the
final result will be in their favor. beyond
doubt The North, he says, must soon
break down under the load Of debt which
the war brings on them. He talks of the
''pretended blockade" which though Incon-
yenient in some respects to the South, brings
some corresponding benefits, in fast III lk-
ing them "a sclf-suppOrting and an inds-
pendent people 1t Is great satisfaction
to him that they have got along 50 far
without any help. 1--WE have" he says,
''neither asked nor received assistance from
any quarter The world at large" he
continues, sis concerned IN opening our
markets to its commerce every foreign
nation will profit by their
trade and have no occasion to be afraid Of
them. The secession doctrine which forbids
coercion" and allows any State to quit
the confederacy when it pleases, he copsi-
iers the strongest possible basis for conser-
7ative, just and impartial government. To
Iyoid 1.-THE tyranny of an unbridled major
Ity. the most odious and least responsible
form of despotism, they have, he says,
taken up arms "to renew such sacrifices as
our fathers made to the holy cause of con-
stitutional liberty. At tho darkest hour
Of our struggle the provisional giycs place
to the permanent government" And with
pretended piety he closes with invoking the
blessing Of God n their cause.

Treasury DEras1xEN1. Feb. 25.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Feb. %.
SIR notwithstanding all possible eIer-
tions on my part to provide means of salts
flying the Just demands Of public creditors,
and notwithstanding the actual payments
averaging nearly million and halt each
day, thesrrearagcs have largely accumulated,
and have caused great inconvenience and in
some instances serious trouble and distress.
These creditors. especially those who have
furnished supplies, arms and transportation,
urgently require payment and ought to have
it. The delay affects not themselves only,
but through manifold ramihcations large
numbers Of others, not TO say whole com
munities. The amount of unsatisfed requi-
sItions from the several departments Is &c.
43O, ,657 ,s3, of which 81 ,2Sl ,653 so is from
the Department Of War. The amount of
floating debt chiefly existing in the War De-
partment probably exceeds SAC, 900 900 tits
impossible to borrow advantsgeously until fin
ancial measures necessary to secure the prompt
payment of interest from taxes, and provide
the best possible market for the bonds of the
United States, shall have received the sane
ton of Congress, and the means Of payment
by notes to be issued under the act Of Con-
gress just passed can not be provided except
after the lapse of considerable time required
for their preparation or competition.
Under these circumstances have anxious
ly sought for some measure of relief, and af-
ter much reflection have determined to sub
NIT to the consideration Of the Committee of
ways and means bill authorizing the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury to issue for the amounts
found due on final settlements, to such cred
itOrs as may desire to receive them, certif-
Gates Of the Treasurer of the United States
payable in one year after date, or earlier at
the option of the government, bearing six
per cent. interest. These certificates issued
either for the full amount due or for a por-
tion OF such amounts not less than $1,000
would answer most of the purposes Of actual
payment and afford very considerable relief,
while the government would incur no risk
and suffer no loss in consequence of their
issue. Trusting that this measure will re-
ceive the favorable consideration of the COM
mittee and if approved the earliest possible
sanction Of Congress.
