Jefferson ON Arbitrary Arrests.

In 1905 Gen. Wilkinson, then military COM
mander at New Orleans, arrested the confede-
rates of Aaron Burr and in the face of a spe-
cifc constitutional provision which gave them
the right to trial in Louisiana, he sent them to
Washington for trial. Jefferson sanctioned
the proceedings, and his Opponents yllifed
and abused him, and denounced him as a ty-
rant and despot, precisely as the copperheads
OF to-day do President Lincoln for the arrest
of Vallandigham. To this very act of Gen.
Wilkinson Mr.. Jefferson refers in the follow
ing. which is an extract from private letter
to John b. GOWN, written in 1910, after his
term OF office had expired, aud he had reti red
to the shades Of Monticello. Mr.. Colyin had
written a letter to the Ex-President to draw
out his opinions on certain questions then agi-
tating the public mind. Mr.. Jefferson wrote
lengthy letter which may be found in any
standard edition of his works, in which he
said:
The question you propose = whether cir
cumstances do not sometimes occur which
make 1t a duty in officers of high trust to as
sumo authorities beyond the laws easy of
solution in principle, but sometimes embarras-
sing in practice. A strict observance of the
written laws is doubtless one of the hph
duties Of a good citizen, bnt it is not the high

ton, Of sdring our country ,rhen IN dancer.

country by scrupulous adherence to written
law, would be to lose itself with life, liberty.

these constituted law of necessity and self

supreme over the written law. The officer
who IS called TO act on this superior ground,
does indeed risk himself on the justice Of the
controlling powers of the constitution, and his
station makes 1t duty to incur that risk.

THE THREE HUNDRED DOLLAR CLAUSE.
The National Intelligencer, in the course of
some remarks on the CONSUMPTION act, makes
the following just observations on the commu-
tation clause: &t
I'VE cannot perceive the force OF the obiec-
ton popularity urged against this feature of
the act, and have been disposed to believe that
in the minds Of many they spring rather from
factious opposition to the law than from its
candid consideration. If the act had simply
given the right to send substitute in place
of serving ourself, we should have heard none
OF these complaints; and yet this three hun
dred dollar provision Is not so favorable TO the
rich as that would be, for the rich could al
ways procure substitutes, and the latter regu-
lation would lead to a huckstering OF substi-
tutes that would soon place them beyond the
reach of any save the privileged few. By the
existing regulations the poor man is not
worsted, and the privilege of committing for
actual service is placed within the reach of a
larger number. A law which does no COM
paratise harm TO any, but which lightens the
burden that would otherwise fall on a more
numerous class of citizens, is entitled 10 a
more generous, not to say just appreciation"

eB-Parson Brownlow has seen a Union
physician, just released from Libby prison at
Richmond, Va, who confirms the statement
that ex-governor Aiken of South Carolina is
confined there for his loyalty to the Union.
So many ounces of bread and meat were dealt
out to each prisoner per day, and the venera-
BILE old gray-haired patriot received his daily
allowance, while the boys in prison volun-
teered TO do his cooking for him. Mr.. Aiken
Is the largest STAKEHOLDER in the south, and the
wealthiest man in South Carolina; but with
him slavery is not rebellion; he is Union
man, and adheres to his integrity at the loss
OF liberty and property. His cruel confine-
ment has been kept secret from the outside
world, and has been kept out of southern pa
pers, because his villianous prosecutors were
ashamed to let his imprisonment be known.

VEGETABLE CURrosITIEs.-Mr. Z. Higgins
Jr. has In his garden on Oxford street, re-
markable curiosity in the shape Of what is
called a"Club Tree" which has been growing
there for eight years, and whose natural aud
peculier characteristic is, that 1t has blossomed
only once in that time. The buds are now un-
folding and we advise all horticulturists to call
on Mr.. Higgins, who will be pleased to show
them the curiosity. The tree consists of a
large trunk, from which the leaves radiate on
pointed stems. These stems with the foliage
fall off at the close of the season, leaving but
the naked trunk.

street, has the thriftiest pear and plum trees

an abundance Of pears, and seems to have en-
tirely partaken of the nature Of the fruit tree.
