DISCHARGED State Prisoners.

The general Jail delivery, which has been
going on recently. will relieve the Govern
ment Forts of hundreds, if not thousands,
of State prisoners, arrested without cause
and detained without authority. If per
"a spy or conspirator-he goes scot
free in this Wholesale release. If some man
has robbed the government, and has been
imprisoned we may be suro that the evil
dence of his guilt has ceased to exist, and
that he aud his sccomplices are safe.
The Government has made n strange con
fesson OF its gull, in thus dischargng this
mass Of prisoners, without an examination
or a charge. But there is more humilia'
ting and damning confession still, in the
oath which the authorities at Washington
offer to their victims, previous to giving
them an honorable discharge. 1t is this:
a., do solemnly swear that | will
support, protect, and defend the Constitution
and Government ofthe United States against
all enemies, either domestic or foreign, and
that will bear allegiance to the same, any
ordinance, resolution, or any State conven.
ton or Legislature to the contrary notwith
standing and further that do this with
the full determinations pledge and purpose,
without any mental reservation or evasion;
whatever; and further, that | will neither
enter any of the States now in insurrection
against the authority of the Federal Gov
ernment, nor hold any correspondence what
ever with them, or with any person in them
during the present rebellion, without perlnis
sion of the Secretary of War, and that |
in all things deport myself as a good loyal
citizen Of the United States, and that l WHt
not, at any future time commence on cause any
action OF sut against the officers of any log.
al State, or of the United States, for caas
ing my arrest or imprisonment so help me
God"
Was there ever a grosser revelation of
conscious guilt? Such an oath, administered
under such coercion, is without moral or
legal obligation. 1t is indeed an aggrivation
of outrages like these, that the victims are
compelled to wound their consciences, and
lower their selfirespect by such humliations.
The very fact that such a condition was
annexed to the discharge of an innocent
man, would aggrava,e his claim for damages
against the wrong doers. Every Judge in
the States, every Jury, would consider the
proffer of such an oath a confession of guilt
and one of its blackeniny features.

Wrecks of Humanity.

Few couutrys can show more wrecks in
human shape than California. The fearful
storms which swept over the State in the
earlier years of our existence, when the
country was filled with young and enthusir
astic men, buoyant with hope and eager to
make fortunes, carried many manly form
out into unknown currents where they have
drfted to certain ruin or death. Let one
now look aronnd in our mining camps or
chief cities, and how many shattered wrecks
are observed, men who ought to be in tho
pr;me OF vigorous manhood are haltng
along on crutches or bloated by dissipation,
half parayzed from the effects of disease
which they half contracted in their vicious
course, useless to themselves and outcasts
from society. Too many young men start
out with the motto Of "a short life and
merry one" careless of the advice and
warnings Of those who are older and wiser
than themselves, until they find their cons
tltutlons impaired or ruined-their money
gone-credit destroyed and friends alienated
when they must either add crime to folly
and be sent to prison, or seek an asylum in
the hospitals Of the State. The merry part
of life has gone, but its duration may con.
tinue for years, without one redeeming ioy
