in adberiug TO their enemies, giving them aid
aud comfort No person shall be convicted
OF treason, unless on the testimony Of two
witnesses TO the same overt act, or confession
in open court
2 Congress shall have power to,declare the
punishment Of treason but no attainder Of
treason shall work corruption of blood, or for
ieiture, except during the life Of the person
attained.
We think it requires no lawyer to I'M
derstand that provision of the Constitu-
tion. Every citizen can tell what II
means. A man cannot be punished for
treason until after trial and conviction.
And he must be tiiedIby jury of his own
countrymen. in the State or district in
which the act was committed. We may
safely say there will be no wholesale hang.
ing of the men in rebellion. 1t cannot be
done under the provisions of the Consti.
tuition, and if attempted without regard tc
that instrument, it would meet the oppo
sition and Just Indignation of the whole
civilized world.
But on the whole it would be more sen
sible to catch the game before prescribing
the manner of serving it up. When WI
get the four or five million rebels into on
hands, it will be time enough to cas-
about for the means of procuring sufli
cheney of rope to enable us to go into th
wholesale hanging business.

The COnscrIptIOn.

We ought to have learned by the ex-
perience of NAPOLEON, in the last years OF
his wars, that with raw troops in the field,
offensive war cannot be made with any
success. In 1912, between Spain and
Russia, NAPOLEON lost by battle and dis
ease, and the fatigues and privations war,
seven hundred thousand men. To supply
their places, and enable him to take the
field with large forces he made, in 1873
aud 1914, extraordinary levies amounting
to twelve hundred thousand men, and they
were almost entirely destroyed. OF the
enforcement of that conscription, the his
torian says
"The price of substitutes rose to 20, 600 and
in some instances to 10000 francs, FAINT
lies of respectability parted with their Tor
tunes, the earnings and savings OF long
life, to save their sons from destruction 1t
being invariably understood, and not the less
true, that purchasing a substitute for the con
scripton was bribing one man to sacrifice his
life for another Desertion, too, became in
cessant, and the projects were constantly oc-
cupied in enforcing its penalties, Long files
of Young couscripts we're everywhere to be
seen marching to their places of punishment,
with haggard visages, dOwncast eyes, and a
four and twenty pound shot chained to their
ances; while great numbers, especially in
the mountain districts, driven to desperation
by the fate OF the battle field and the hospita
on the one hand, and the alternative of such q
punishment on the other, formed themselves
into rowing bands, subsisting by plunder and
bidding defiance to the gems de drmeS and the
local authorities"
