A case Of more than usual importance
10 the business community was decided
by the United States Court for the
Western District of Michigan, a. Grand
Rapids, on the 9th Of October, 1868, the
particulars Of which were as follows
Business men on the line Of one OF tho
principal railroads have been in the habit
OF aending their business correspondence
on the freight and mail trains, marked
r. K. B, or II. Il. s., in violation Of the
l59th section Of the postal law, which is
10 the following effect
That all persons whatsoever, who shall
transmit by any other means than the
regular mail service, any letter, package,
or other mailable matter, excepting news
papers, pamphlets, magazines and PERI
odicsls, or who shall deliver or deposit,
for the purpose of being transported by
such unlawful means, the said mailAble
matter, shall forfeit and pay the sum of
$50
The attention of Special Agent Van
Yechten WAS called to the matter, a
quantity of letters seized, and the parties
sending them were presented to the grand
| Jury for indictment, and a bill found
agAinGt three prominent business men.
In one bill there were nineteen counts,
| the other two one count each. The
parties were arranged and pleaded
guilty,
This custom had become general on
the line of many railroads.&c. much SO
| that she revenue of the Post Office De-
partment suffered great loss.
The attention of railroad officers has
been called to the 157 and, 158th sections
of the postal law. Those sections make
the railroad company liable 10 a fine of
one hundred dollars for each and every
letter carried outside of the mail, except
those written by the officers of the road
or their agents to the officers of the road
or employees, unless said letters are en-
closed in Government stamped envelope
of suitable denomination, and of the
same value ss the legal postage would be,
addressed with ink and sealed. The law
also imposes fine of fifty dollars on the
conductor of the train, for each and
every letter carried in violation of said
section.
The arrest of the parties above men
toned created considerable excitement
among the business men, as many more
had been engaged in the violation, but
did not happen to get caught. It is but
fair TO state that the parties plead ig-
norsnce of the law, and this article is for
the purpose Lof calling the attention of
others who have in like manner violated
the law innocentlY,

some of the sheets called oonserva-
tive, are endesvOring TO make it appear
that the nation has not spoken in refer
ence to the policy of the Administration.
They say that the issue put by the Ad-
minis,ration was war or no war, adroitly
keeping back the policy upon which the
government has acted. This is 30 mani
testify unjust that it does not deserve a
notice. The issue put by the Union
people was, the Administration the rep
resentative Of the nation. BY the Ad-
ministration is understood the measures
of the government.
The first and greatest question is the
Emancipation Proclamation. All the
other subjects are toys. The support of
the war policy could not be put by tue
rebel allies directly The insult was too
grave one for the people to bear, whose
brothers and sons had fallen in what
they regarded as holy cause. The
question Of freedom was the real Issue.
II is fairly put in the proclamation, which
will have no material effect in effecting
the Liberation of the slaves. That result
will be brought about by the collision of
arms. An auxiliary, and, we may say,
the most efficient is the arming of the
slaves. This is by far the most impor-
TINT measure of any. The rebels in arms
have forfeited life and property. 1t is
neither unjust nor cruel to Stay them as
armed and organised enemies Of the gov
eminent. The negro can 90 this as well
As the white man. The Lesson they will
learn from army discipline and drill will
have the effect of educating in an elevated
art as we'll as teaching them the value Of
liberty and the way to preserve it. 1t
will render them unfit for slavery and
qualify them for self-government This
is perhaps the great question of the age.
The equipment and arming of the negro
is the great policy of the age. The pro-
clAmation was only the announcement of
4 fact accomplished. The war was the
rsal proclamation of liberty to the ne
gro. The act which completes the great
work of liberty begun by our fathers in
America is the enlistment of the negroes
into regiments and brigades in complet-
ing this war.
The recent elections confirm he policy.
II will be executed. This settles the
question of liberty and slavery in Amer
icA. Under the whole the great subjeot
Of national life was moving. The for
nation of great free nationality is the
problem. For this principle the border
States may be set down. Even Ken
lucky, Notwithstanding her corrupt press
and weak politicians, will go for the
principle. Tennessee has decided it
already. She may be counted the fore
most and truest of all the States 60 this
principle, save Massachusetts. When
once the subject is opened to the people
of Tennessee there will be no mistake in
the verdict. The friends of the Gov
eminent that have won the late noble
victories may set down Tennessee on the
side of universal liberty.

Poor See Bote |

Gen. A. j. Hamilton, Of Texas, made a
noble speech in New o. leans few even :
ings since. He showed that the South
ern politicians were alone responsible for
the war, and defended the Administra-
ton from the false charges Of its enc
mics. But the most powerful and sig
nihcant portion of his speech was that
which related TO slavery. Upon this
subject he took the boldest and most ad .
vAnced ground, and il is significant to
note that his sentiments were warmly
applAuded by the vast audience He de-
clared that 'the people of Texas, after
this war is over, never will assist in taxi
ing a negro back TO slavery. And no
man will DO found TO stand up
before the bar of public opinion and adj
vocate it anywhere" He further said,
"this is = war TO the death between the
Government and slavery, and one or the
other must fall" He made a magnificent
plea for free labor, eloquently defended
and justified the reclamation of Eman-
cipAion, and advocated in the strongest
terms the principe Of Emancipation upon
the ground of necessity, eXpediency and
justice. He also warmly endorsed the
policy Of negro enlistments This speech,
delivered and Applauded in New Oheana,
the capital OF Louisiana, is certainly one
OF the most marked and significant to-
kens which have yet been given 10 tho
world, OF the resistless march of Free
dom on this con iient.
