thus:
g Their the rebels spmpathizers. perva-
ded all departments of the Government, and
nearly all communities of the people. From
this material under cover of liberty of
speech, liberty of the press, 'habeas cor

a most efficient corps of spies, informers, sup
pliers, and aiders and abbettors Of their
cause in a thousand ways. They knew that
in times such as they were inaugurating, by
the Constitution itself, the h05eds corpus
might be suspended but they also knew
they had friends who would make ii question
as to who was to suspend it ; meanwhile their
spies and others might remain at large to
help on their cause. Or, if, as has happen
ed, the Executive should suspend the writ.
without ruinous waste of time, instances oil
arresting innocent persons might occur in
such cases and then a clamor could be rails

The COMMANDER OF THE "ALABAMA."-
A correspondent sends us the following BIZ
ograghical sketch of Raphael Semmes, the
commander of the pirate AlGbama:-
"Raphael Semmes is a native of Maryland,
and entered the U. S. navy LIST of April, 1926.
He passed in April, 1882, number three in a
class of thirty-seven, and was made a lieuten-
ant in February, 1887. In this interval he
read law in Cincinnati, and was admitted to
the bar of Ohio, and subsequently married a
daughter of DIR. Spencer, of that city, by
whom he had two daughters, yet single. As
lieutenant he did very little duty, always
avoiding it. He served about two years in
the West India and Gulf Station, under COM
modore Dallas, in 1888 and 1889. Within
this time he had two temporary commands,
the first a river steamer, which he lost very
stupidity on the oyster banks at the entrance
of the Withalcooche, in Florida.
His second command was the unfortunate
brig Somers, in which the Slidell- Mackenzie
tragedy was enacted. This brig was capsized
near Vera Cruz, in norther, while under a
cloud of canvass. Many of the wretched
crew persisted in sight of the Mexicans on the
mole of Vera Cruz. Subsequent to this, for
wears, Semmes was a resident OF Mobile,
eking out precarious subsistence by sharp
practices, so familiar to the scamps now in
general termed ''Toombs lawyers" For a
long time he remained unemployed, the navy
department refusing to place him on duty.
During Buchanans administration, through
the influence of the arch traitor, senator Sill
dell, Semmes was appointed light house in
spector at Mobile, and when the head of that
department was sent to command the Para
quay expedition.
Semmes was suddenly transferred to Wash.
ington as secretary of the lighthouse board

by John Slidell and an equally dishonorable
comrade employed in the department, the
three succeeded in abstracting large sums
from the United States treasury. Secretary
Dix discovered the thefts, and dismissed
Semmes and his clerical confrere, and both
left Washingt on forgetting to pay their debts,
representing themselves as being unable to do
so, when it was well known they carried off
large sums of gold. Semmes, while in the
United States navy, was regarded as lazy,
skirking officer, whose fondness for money
caused him to appear in habiliments not over
cleanlv or respectable. His wife and daugh-
tiers still pass most of their time in Cincinnati
