party not onl, favors, but demands a vigorous
prosecution of the war for the Union, however

rne case of Judge constable.

We publish this morning a very full report of
the examination of Judge Charles II Constable.
of the fourth Judicial Circuit in this Stale.
charged with encouraging deSeftions by resisting
legitimate attempts to retake parties who had
deserted from the army Judge Test, of the
United States Circuit Court, after hearing all the
evidence. promptly decided tn { no crime had
been committed by Judge Constable, who was
thsreupon discharged. The principal point in the
case seemed to be whether the sergeants held to
bail by the Judge produced authority to arrest de-
serters in the State OF Illinois BY the order of
Gen. Larz Noble, Adjutant General of Indiana.
it appeared that their functions were confined TO
Vigo and surrounding counties in the State of
Indiana. Having passed beyond their jurisdic-
ton, by entering Illinois, they had no color of
authority TO capture alleged deserters in this
State; aud so Judge Constable, in discharging
the men whom they had thus %wrongiully arrest
ed only acted in pursuance of his duay as a sworn
officer of the law.

The Journal comedies that the election in this
township was controlled and carried by outside
influences, regardless Of the wishes and feelings
of It's permanent citizens. We do not object to
soldiers voting. Otherwise we favor the exer
else Of this right and duty of a freeman and citi-
zen upon every occasion when such an expires
sion of popular sentiment is required. and it can
be lawfully exercised. But it is obvious that the
Journals construction of the election laws IS
both wrong and uni Ist. 1t insists that the sol
dcr has the right to vote 1T any township or city
election wherever he may happen to be, the same
as an actual and permanent resident Of such To-
cality. upon the ground that the occupancy of a
military post or encamDment makes him a citizen
thereof. and qualified voter within the meaning
Of the law. Thus if a soldier enlisted at Fl. Wayne
or Evansville or New Albany, he being a resident
Of such place at the time of e~nlisting, the Jour
nal insists is entitled to vote in this city at a
local election If here temporarily in the discharge
of his duty. No honest man can admit the JUS
tice or propriety of such a construction of the
laws governing elections Ii is so manifestly
wrong. such a gross violation of propriety, that
it can find no justification except with those who
stand ready to apologize for wrong doing and
crime for the reason that they have become the
receiverso Of stolen goods. COncede that sold
iers, residents at the time of their enlistment in
other parts of the State. have the-righs to vote
at our local elections, township, city, or county,
it will be in the power of the military com
mander of the district or State to control
said elections contrary to the wishes or will of the
actual residents. A sufficient number of soldiers
could be placed in this city, in advance of any
election, to override the choice OF the people. and
thus force upon them officers and a policy to
which they are utterly opposed. if such a con
struction of the law is allowed. No honest sol
der. no COOL citizen. will consent that local
elections shall be thus controlled. To do so,
would be an approval of the meanest kind of des-
potism- The common sense of every man can
not but condemn such manifest injustice, such an
apparent violation of law, Of right and propriety.
And it can find no apologists, except with those
who are willing to sacrifice right to gain a party
advantage and achieve a party triumph.

rne Controlling idea of the War.

The Boston Post. one of the best papers pub
lished in the United States, frankly admits that
while the East wishes TO pTolong the war be
cause she makes money out Of it, the West de-
sires to end il. because she is losing money by it.
This is true, and we are glad to see it ackuowl
edged by so influential and able an Eastern jour
nal
money, by the prOtraction of the struggle; but
she has done her duty cheerfully and Loyalty,
and has furnished her quotas
On the other hand, Massachusetts, is nearly 20.
0G0 of men behind on her quota. but many mil
lions of dollars ahead in her pocket. A New
England idea governs the war, the p~rolongation
of IL must be characterized MS a New England
idea. We do not feel called upon 10 find par
ticular fault with that section for that reason. If
Massachusetts can befool the West, it is the fault
of Western Senators aud Representatives. who
have Eastern instead of Western principles, and
whose ide of national greatness consists in run
ning cotton mills at Lowell. II they would at
tend to the interests of their constituents as jeal
oulsy as the Eastern representatives do to theirs.
victory and peace would soon crownt the national
arms.
As il is. the great West is literally unrepre-
sented in Congress. We cannot now recall the
passage of a single measure since the Republican
party came into power for he. peculiar benefit.
Every public act has been bro lght to the stand
ard of New England prejudiccs and interests, and
every Western Senator and Representative has
cried amen No wonder, then, that the Post
makes this. assertion. No wonder the East. who
has made all the money, is clamorous for a con
~tinuance of the war, while the West, who has
borne all the suffering, Is carer to end the war

The discharge from arrest of Judge Constable
by Judge Treat, at Springfield, yesterday, is a
most singing rebuke of the military authority
by which the arrest was made, and a sublime
yindication of the judicial authority as exercised
BY the imprisoned minister of the law. The

Financial and Commercial summary
for the Past week.

Gold has huctuated as usual during the week,
and continued to keep all kinds of business UNI
settled The "bulls" have Is their own way one
day, and the "bears" the next, and in this way
the Commercial interests of the country are placed
at the mercy and under the control of the stock
gamblers Of Wall street, and are deranged and
unsettled, there being a general dread to do any
thing beyond the presen. moment, the future be-
ing regarded with distrust. Gold has been up to
159. and down to l49, and the closing rates at
noon, yesterday, was 1919, with Il dull and
dropping market. Nothing of a decisive nature
has been done by our army since our last and
matters remain about in the same position as
when We last wrote. The operations against
Vicksburg have been rather abortive. So far,
the favorable aspect given them by the newspa-
per correspondents, a few weeks ago, have TUNED
out to be unfounded. Something decisive from
Charleston is looked for hourly, and it is hoped
that the movement will be satisfactory. The
time is now at hand when important and success
full movements must besmade in the Southern
waters, if at all.
1t seems that some capitalists in Germany have
made a proposition to loan fifty millions to our
Government at par. We suppose this means at
par in our currency.
The demand for money continues of Il most
limited nature, and the supply of currency being
abundant, the market continues easy at . TO 10
per cent. Exchange has ruled steady all the
week, without any alteration in the rates. There
is still a pressing demand for Government stocks,
as an nvestment-we refer to 5 30 six per cents.
Merchants are investing their bank balances in
them in order to escape taxation, and in this way
are enabled to make a most convenient arrange
ment by borrowing such money as they may need
from time to time. on these stocks-in cases
where their credit is not first class, this plan
works admirably

Indiana. 3 do; but Ohio, except when in round
lots, VIII not bring a premium, and then not to

There is very little doing in gold. The quota

carried it by 332. and on Monday the majorities
foot mp over 500. Our correspondent says:
The election passed of here yesterday amid a

Upton is always right. if the world be wrong.
She was Democratic twenty years ago, and has
never taken the road Of the "~wayward." The
denizens, with the exception of a few Black Re
publieans, are loyal.
They oppose the arbitrary measures of the man
Abe and his political yassals at Washington, but
they win not resist them by force of arms so long
as they have the right to express their views
through the press and the ballot box. But take,
or attempt to take this sacred right away, and old
Upton would move zone thousand strong" under
