A Judge Arrested BY the Military /!


THE Cincinnati papers have announced
with apparent satisfaction that Judge
has been arrested by the military, while
holding his Court in one of the counties
in Illinois, and with their usual facility
they call him a Traitor It seems that
G. 81. Constable, who win be remember
ed by old citizens of Urbana, as the Son
in-law of the late Thomas S. Hinde, had
before him case in which two persons
said to be army Sergeants, were accused
of fkidnapping-for having in their custo-
dy four persons whom they had arrested
as deserters from the army. He held the
accused to bail and discharged their pris-
oners. Certainly it should have required
a very clear showing and strong case
to induce the Judge to make such an or
der, but unless he acted corruptly, it is
not to be tolerated that Judges shall be
arrested by banditti soldiers for their Of
fetal acts, in the line Of their proper ju-
risdiction. 1t seems that at the instiga-
ton of Colonel Darlington, and under an
order from General Wright, corps of
200, soldiers under the command of Colo
mel Darlington, proceeded from the State
Of Indiana into the State of Illinois, and
there arrested the Judge while holding
his Court, and brought him to Indianop-
oils for trial. IF Judge Constable has
improperly meddled with the arrest of
desorters, and brought himself within
terms Of the Conscription act, and liable
to penalties, he must be tried in Illinois
where the ofFense was committed. Colo
mel Carriagton has suffered his military
zeal to carry him too far, and he may
find himselffa some discomfort, under
the verdict of a jury empaneled to try an
action Of trespass

What the Proclamation Has Done.

SOME of the Republican papers are be-
ginning to find out that the famous eman-
cipation proclamation is not all their fan
cies painted it previous to It's issuance.
The following from the Springfield Re-
publican, the ablest administration jour
nal in Massachusetts, states the dissatis-
faction of the moderate Republicans thus
foroibly;
"a great many expectations have been
disappointed, and a great many confident
predictions have failed of realization, in
the progress of this war. In nothing has
the disappointment been greater than in
the results expected from the emancipa-
ton war policy by those most clamOrOus
for it. They were very certain that the
proclamation would give the Union cause
a quick and sweeping triumph, and the
President was fercely denounced by pol
iiticians and papers of his own party for
allowing the sacrifice of northern men to
90 on, when with a stroke of his pen he
could remove the cause Of the rebellion
and make it impotent for mischief. 1t
was said that as soon as liberty should be
proclaimed to the negroes we should see
the southern soldiers scattering to their
homes to look after their chattles, and
the negroes generally revolving and has
tening to enlist under the standard of the
Union; and so the necessity for further
fighting on our part was to be removed.
The predictions were made and repeated
with so much confidence that, before the
President issued his proclamation, mary
of his own party had come to consider
him guilty almost to the extent of trea-
son in delaying to speak the word which
was to act ike magic in the salvation of
the Union. The style of menace in which
the President was addressed on this sub
ject is fresh in public recollection, al
though some who used it would now be
very glad to have it forgotten.
Well, it is more than five months
since the President announced his inten-
ton to proclaim emancipation, and two
months since the proclamation was for
mally made, and the negroes still remain
quietly on the southern plantations the
rebel armies have not dispersed to hunt
flying negroes, but are larger and strOn-
ger than ever before; the market price
of negroes is at its highest; the negroes
within our lines show no passionate ca
gerness to fight, and even General Hun
ter has been obliged to resort to forcible
consoription to fill up his negro regi-
ments, and that, too, where the expert
ment at making negro soldiers has been
longest in operation. Neither are the
promises of the wonderful effect of the
Urbana union. [volume] (Urbana, Ohio) 1862-1872, 1863-03-18
New Postage Law and the Franking
Privilege.

THE Congress have passed a new post
age law, giving new and various powers
to the Postmaster-General, and in some
particulars changing the rates Of postage
and decomposition to postmasters. The
occasion was fit one to abolish that
monstrous fraud on the public, known as
the franking privilege, but it has been
carefully retained for Congressman, with
out diminution, while it is somewhat
limited to the officials. If the members
we're permitted to receive letters free du-
ring the active sitting of Congress, there
might be no great harm in it, but the
privilege of sending free all letters and
documents and speeches, while retained
under the pretence Of giving information
to the public, it is in fact, used solely for
the purpose of electioneoring. Speeches
are made for the sole purpose of being so
franked-and members spend more time
in pandering to party wants and cater
ing for votes than they spend in the du-
ties of legislating.

ThurlOw Weed and Ward Beeoher.

THURLow WEED, the venerable New
York journalist, and Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher, both Republicans, have got into
a controversy concerning the proper mode
of conducting the war. In reply to a
publication of Beecher in the New York
Independent, Mr.. Weed makes this pre-
diction:
of it comes to be understood that the
views and policy of Messers. Sumner,
Greeley, Wendell Phillips, Ward Beech
er, etc., ETC., obtain in the conduct of the
war, it will result in the destruction Of
our Government and the Union, and
triumph for rebellion and slavery"

The Congress Finance and Banking,


IT is important that the public should
know what the Congress did in regard to
money-Wbich would naturally be ex-
pected to mean a simple exercise Of the
power given by the constitution "tO bOr-
row money" But they have gone much
further, and have passed laws in regard
to banks, which must cause an immense
change in business at a time when the
elements of credit were sufficiently dis
turbed already.
When the present Congress met, the
banks we're everywhere taxed by their
respective States, and this tax was as
sessed either on their profits Or On their
capitals. In 1862 Congress assessed on
them an additional tax Of three per cent.
on their profits.
During the session Of Congress which
has just closed, they we're urged by the
Secretary of the Treasury to create a
new set Of banks, with view to having
"an uniform national currency" based
on government stocks, the avowed object
of which was to cause a demand for gov
ernment stocks, and thus aid the Treas
ury in raising money. Along with this
came another project, to tax the oirculs-
ton Of existing banks at the rate of three
per cent. year, the avowed object Of
which was tWo-fold first, to dispIaee ez-
isting circulation of bank notes and make
room for more Treasury notes +; second,
to drive the banks to organize anew under
the new scheme.
These two plans were finally declared
to be administration measures" and
connected with the loan bills. Each
House passed bills on the subject, but
they differed in detail, and these differ
ences we're settled by a committee of con
ference, and the law now provides as fol-
lows:
l. Congress have authorized the for
nation of banking companies which
shall issue notes of circulation of a
uniform pattern; these notes shall be
based on government stocks transfer
red to the United States for the pur-
pose, and the ratio of circulation shall
be 80 per cent. of the stocks pledged.
2. These notes shall be received through
cut the Union for all public debts e1-
cept imports, and if the banks fail to
redeem them, they shall be redeemed
by the Government.
8. The Secretary of the Treasury may
borrow on six per cent. bends, running
from ten years to fifty years, nine hun
dred millions Of dollars; he may issue
four hundred millions of Treasury
notes, bearing six per cent. interest,
which shall be legal tender at their
face without the interest.

l. The banks shall be scaled as fol-

over these ratios:
Banks with Capitals of s1O0OOO, 9Oper cent.

They shall also pay one-eighth of one
per cent. on their average deposits, for
each half year.
5. On all notes of less than one dollar,
banks shall pay a tax of five per cent.
6. All banks made under the uniform
currency plan shall be subject to the
same rate of tax.
We do not propose at present to make
any comments on these laws, either as to
the policy of them, or the power of Con-
gress to make them. But we add state
ment of their effects, if fairly carried out,
and apply them to one of the branches
of the State Bank of Ohio. These
branches were originally subject to a
tax of six per cent. on their profits, but
are now generally taxed on their loans
for all purposes. Take branch of one
hundred thousand dollars, and assume
that its loans would not exceed the eapi-
tai, and that the taxes for all purposes
were only one per cent. Such branches
are authorized to have circulation Of
two hundred thousand dollars, and would
usually have deposit of one hundred
thousand dollars. Add these new taxes,
