THE CASE OF JOHNSON.

1.-THE Administration has made any mis-
take in the arrests for treason that have
been ordered since the war began, it will
be found in not exercising proper discrim-
lnation in the persons whom it has sent to
what the sympathisers call the American
Basile.' For instance, the incarceration Of
johnson Of Ga]ena, was, if the mans
power for mischief were taken into the
account, blunder not to be forgiven; be-
cause he is an BON ass whose instinct it is
TO bray, not to bite; and if he had been
engaged, as WAS charged, with reasonable
correspondence with tie rebels, he
could not have kept the secrets
which were put into his possession i.
hence, properly manipulated by man of
sense. he could have been made to tell all
he knew. il was mistake to shut him
up; he ought to have been tick1ed with q
straw as. wantcn boys sometimes coa1
grasshorrers, to make him disgo1ge hi.

pended on 1nen whose want Of brain

years since-to either the Federal or Con

In nothing is the intense tory sympa-
thies Of the Democratic party North
more insanely displayed than in the abuse
they heap upon Union Representatives to
Congress, elected from States which are
vet partially IN the hands Of the rebels.
This is the case more particularly in rela-
tion to the two new Union Represents
tiycs elected from the New Orleans Dis
tricts. The New York IForld is bitterly
opposed to allowing them to take their
seats, declaring "that they are IN no sense
Representatives Of the city Of NeW
Orleans" They have both been residents
Of that city from early youth, are nncon-
diional Union men, have been from the
start, and the Districts are under Federal
control Perhaps the W,r1d thinks that

OURWASHINGTON LETTER.


%TFrom Our Own Correspondent |
WASHINGTON, Dec. x, 1852.
It is row definitely known that Mr. Sew
art1's resignation Us Secretary Of State has
been Withdrawn, and that he has resumed his
former position in the Presidents Council
Whatever causes conspired to bring about
this result, it necessarily leads to a conflict
which had hoped not to see sprung upon the
country in time like thi5-a conflict between
the President and those who are required, by
the terms Of the Constitution, to "adyise and
CONSENT to all his elective appointments.
The Senate Of the United States, US at pres
cut constituted, is in the main a cowardly
boay,, Nanght but an overwhelming public
opinion could have brought the thirty Re-
publican members to the point of uuanimity
on the question Of demanding even partial
reconstruction of the Cabinet. II there had
been two roads open for them they would not
have taken the one they did take. But high
wall and deep ditch rose On either hand, and
they we're forced to 60 straight to the conclu-
sion they reached It remains to be seen
whether they will brave the tornado at home
or fight On to victory Which is within their
reach, II they have the firmness to take it.
Meanwhile the eudgels have been taken up
by the moneyed men Of New York whose
| upu7at col.9ie, will be here this evening. They
demand change in the Cabinet, beginning

| any future loans Of money through those
channels. They affirm that they have no con-
I tdencc in the value Of securities which are

rctnry Of State. They have no more money to
| be turned into hell-bEoth in the witches caul-

In the house of Lords, Earl Strathpleson moved

Earl Russel said it was not expedient to produce

was not recognized and all communications, there
fore were unofficial. A correspondence had taken
place between Messrs. Adams and Seward but the
British Government had replied as before. He
stated that no communication had been received
from any foreig power relative to the Southern
States Earl Malhiesboro suggested that the Gov
eminent should communicate with other powers
with view to offering meditation, if a favorable
opportunity arises. To which Earl Russell
agreed-that if mediation is offered all the powers
should join in it. The motion was finally with

The London Times editorially argues that if
