danger incurred to the liberty Of the citl-
zen. although that danger would equally
exist under q suspension by Congress and
they are. therefore. opposed to the exercise
Of the power by that body also. They ob-
ject to the suspension now that Congress
has delegated the power, and as that is the
only remaining mode in which it can be
suspended they object to the exercise of
this provision1of the Constitution an toto.
What else is all this but faction? 4
We have mentioned that the act dele
eating the power of suspension to the Pres
ident provided certain limitations or safe
guard to persons arrested or held as po-
litical or State prisoners. The Secreta-
ries Of State and Of War are directed with
in twenty days after arrest, to return the
names of such persons to the civil Courts
of the United States; and if the Grand Ju-
ry Of any Court to which the case of any
prisoner is returned shall terminate its ses-
sion without proceeding against such pris-
oner u shall be the duty of the Judge of
the Court to make an order for his dis
charge. There are other provisions of a
similar character. all Of which are destined
to secure to the arrested party that speedy
trial before the judicial tribunals to which
every citizen is entitled by the Constitu-
ton. If the writ is ever to be suspended
at all, We do not see how the exercise Of
the power can be hedged about with more
effective safeguards against abuse or op-
preston. on.--PhH Eng. s-en-

When the first news OF the fight near
Chattanooga reached Chicago, there was a
sort of impromptu meeting held in the
Times office at which pretty free express
sion of satisfaction in our reported defeat
was INDUCED. The editors of that infa-
nous sheet, and few especial and conf
Dental Copperheads, composed the assem-
blagee They were overheard, and the Trib-
une reports the proceedings as follows:
The burden of their united rejoicings
was that Rosecrans was defeated, and that
the victorious rebels would have yet anoth-
er good chance to redeem their lost for
tunes. One of the editors could scarcely
control the enthusiasm which he felt. 1t
was nothing to him that that battle had
made thousand homes in Illinois Desc
late. He saw only the triumph of the
rebels, and he said che hoped they would
copture enough of our troops to exchange
man for man, with Morgan's brave fellows
now rotting in camp Douglas!"
The drunken Copperheads. who were
his audience, howled out chorus of ac-
quiescence. One of them prayed that gold
might once more reach its old fabulous
prices, Just to give the Administration an
other dig. One more savage than the rest
hoped to God the rebels would capture
Rosecrans and give him -. Another
thought the Lawrence sufferers had not
been punished half enough for their
loyalty. prayed that the Rev. Robert Col

the Chicago bounty, might be carried away
into captivity-the -! whilst another
employee. who did not like to be left out
in the cold, declared with an audacious
swagger, that he had never changed his
principles. and didn't mean to. Hedvote

a chance.

As the recent successes of the Union ar

We called, the other day, for shsrt

asked him If he thought that MsClellan
could have taken Richmond;to which hs
replied, "As easily, sir, as 1 can take
off my hat" There is. we thinks moro
truth than poetry in this declaration. We
asked why Mcclellan did not take that
place, if it could have been done so easily;
to this he replied: "McClellan looked for
a compromise; he also desired to be Pres

he never could get the Democratic (Csp-

and without that he never could succeed:
for these reasons, and at the very time he
could have marched into Richmond, he
marched away from it." We would not
be surprised If the old fellow hit the truth
that time too.

SIhe evidences, says the Chicago Irlb-
une, of the coalition between the leaders OF
the Copperheads and the rebels are multi.
plying every day. The rebel press speak
of it without disguise or reservation. The
Northern. Peace party are put down as
their fast friends. They point cut the ab-
solute necessity of winning victories over
our armies in order to strengthen the hands
of the Copperhead peace sneaks. In an
other part of this issue we copy an article
of recent date from the Georgia Constitu-
tionaist--the leading paper of the State,
which declares that '.the sue cess Of South
efn arms alone could give strength and
consistency to the peace movement" in the

Rebel Testimony to the Effect of the

In plain letter to Governor Seymour
Peter Cooper, of New York, relates the
following as having been told him by
Provost Marshal Dean, of St. Louis, in

the rebellion and prevent foreign recogni
tion than any other measure that could
have been adopted = + =
"On his late visit to my house. be in
formed me that be had brought on large
number of rebel officers and men to be ex-
changed at Fortress Monroe. During
their passage he took the opportunity to
ask the officers in body what effect the
Presidents proclamation of freedom had
produced In the South Their reply was
to nse their own vulgar mode of express
ion that "it played hell with them" DR..
Dean then asked them how that could be
possible since the negroes cannot read!
To which one of them replied that one OF
his negroes told him of the proclamation
FIVE days before he heard j. any other way.
Others said their negroes gave them their
information of the proclamation. One oi

ander gave an answer which is model of categorical
reply to unfounded dubitation" 1t again against
Great Britain, and that power having exhausted
every diplomatic pretext for delay, and being bound
to obey the arbitrament of the Emperor, concluded
a convention for carrying the decision into effect
The value of deported slaves settled by CON-
mission and paid into the United States Treasury,
and at the commencement of the session of Con-
gress, 1928, President j. Q. Adams was able TO
communicate the fact of the settlement of this i'm
portant dispnte.
The important bearing of this scrap Of American
history as precedent upon the issues OF the present
struggle, cannot be better illustrated than by quo
ting from Mr.. Benton, and remembering that he
wrote before the present contest began:
THE sum received was large, and ample to pay
the damages; but that was the smallest part of the
advantage gained. The example and the principle
were the main pOnts-the enforcement OF such
demand against Government so powerful, and al
ter so much resistance, and condemnation which it
carried and the responsibility which it implied
this was the grand advantage. Liberation and ao-
ductlon of slaves was one of the modes OF warfare
adopted by the British and largely counted on as
means of harrasSng and injuring one-halt oil the
Union. 1t had been pract;ced during the revolution
and indemnity avoided. If avoided second tIme
impunity would have sanctioned the practice and
rendered it inveterate and in future wars not only
with Great Britain, out with all powers, this mode
of annoyance would have become an ordinary resort
leading to servile instructions. The indemnity
exacted carried along with it the condemnation of
the practice as a spoation of private property to
be atoned for; and was both compensation for the
past and warning for the future. 1t implied re.
sponsibility which no power, or art, or time could
evade and the principle of which being established,
there will be no need for future arbitrations.
The following passage occurs further on IN Mr..
Benon's history of the transaction. 1t is instruc-
tive 20 read now, and shows what was the spirit OF
the statesmen of the old Union before the trail OF
the Black Puritan de6ed the Cabinet Board and the
Senate House:
Northern men did their duty to the South in
