unprincipled hearts. Bnt sohlicrs and pa

They have too much confidence in the su-
periority OF the white race to suffer them
selves to be troubled by the silly stuff
which traitors pirate sbont so much for
the purpose of discouraging volunteering
and giving aid and comfort to the rebels.
Their motive is understood and apprecia-

pliment to white men to try to make them
believe there is danger of the negro bccom-
ing their equal? Some white women even.

they will not be able to resist Sambo's

Trial of Williams Excavator,

Editors Times In company with Mr.
William Greene, Prcs't of the Iowa Rail.
way Construction Co., l visited Monona
last Saturday to witness the trial Of o new
Excavator. We had an appointment at
that time and place with Judge Williams
and his Brother, who are the inventors Of
the machine. 1t is designed to plough
furrow from four to six inches deep, and
about elteen inches wide, in any kind of
earth pretty free from stones and grubs,
and load the same at once upon ordinary
wagons driven by the sido 1t was thor
oughly tested for two hours in turf, soft
mellow soil, and the toughest kind of clay,
AID stood the trial SO well as to make fair
promises that the thing can be done. The
turf was cut and elevated precisely accord
Ing to programme, but there was a slight
defect in the construction manifested in the
cases of mellow earth and hard clay, which
apparently would be easy Of remedy. 1t
is not an easy matter to constructa machine
of this character that can readily be adapted
to all the varieties of material to be moved,
even within the limitations proposed
Hence the great difficulties that have a..
tended the efforts Of the inventors to sup
ply the place of ordinary shovels
The trial did not show the loading pro-
cess, for the simple reason that ordinary
wagons are too high for this machine; but
larger one is promised to be ready in
about two weeks which will be free from
the defects of this one, and peform the
loading of common wagons. .
The enter prising inventors expect to do
the work of forty shovelers, besides the pre-
paratory one Of picks and ploughs, with
force of only four horses and three men,
They certainly deserve great credit for con-
tinuanse and zeal, and manifest those quail
ties which always give important results.
We feel under obligations to them per.
sonaliy for their courtesy, and in behalf of
Railway builders for their efforts to cheaper
construction, and we will be glad to aid
them so far as we can, to perfect their
scheme, and to bring the Excavator to the
consideration which its merits shall de-
mand.

Suppression of Chicago Times.
The ship canal convention at Chicago
last week, was rendered lustrcless by the
greater excitement attending the suppress
sion of the Chicago Times, by order Of
Gen. Burnside. This order was carried in
to effect at early dawn on Wednesday
morning Of last week, by two companies of
u S. troops from camp Douglas. The
proprietors of the times appealed to the
U. s. courts for an injunction to stay pro.
ceedinss, and during the tendency of these
proceedings, President Lincoln directed
Burnside to revoke his order, whereupon
the military force was withdrawn, and the
big presses Of the Times establishment
again commenced their busy work.
The above is concise history of pro.
cceding which has startled the whole coun.
try. While the Office WAC in possession of
the military force, large indignation meet.
ings were held in Chicago and in various
parts of the country, at which speeches
were made by prominent Democrats and
Republicans. In Chicago, such Republi
cans as Senator Trumbull, and Representa-.
tive Arnold, denounced the suppression Of
papers by military force, and the subver-
sion of the civil power to the dicta of NIL
itary men, and endorsed Geographic
dispatch-sent to the President by promi-
nent men of both parties praying for the
revocation Of 3urnside's order, with the
request that he would give the same his
Serious consideration.
The order was revoked, and we COM
mend Mr.. Lincoln for the soundness of
his views. Not that we admire the senti-
ments of the Chicago Times, but that we
rejoice at the triumph Of free press princi-
Piles. Now, the government can act Alright;
if paper abuses and ISLANDERS the govern

if the sheet is guilty Of reasonable utter.

REACTION OF PUPLIC OPINloN.-- The OBJ
server Of events cannot fail to see that with
in the past two weeks there has been a
radical change Of sentiment among the
people with regard to the right and pro-
priety of military arrests. The New York
Tribune now disapproves Of it; the New
York Times condemns; the New York
Post opposes such proceedings as danger
Gus, etc.. The reader will be somewhat
surprised, however to hear that the N. Y.
Independent has made an entire change OF
front on the question. Read the follow
ing: a.a9,
"If Gen. Burnside may ignore the civil
courts in Ohio, so may Gen. Dix in N. Y.
and the next step will be the arrest OF
every editor in New York who offends
Gen. Halleck," and that "the editors OF
the Independent may soon be sentenced
to the Dry Tortugas. "7here are no Hber-

Sound Words.
AT the Union League meeting held ir
Chicago on Thursday evening to endorse
Gen. Burnsidc's order suppiessing The
Chicago Times, and to denounce the Prcsi
dent for revoking the same, Senator Trum.
bull, one of the strongest Republicans in
the Northwest, made an impressive speech
the substance of which is thus reported by
the Chicago Evening Journal:
"The remarks of Senator Trumbul a,
the Union League meeting at the Court
House, last evening, are the subject of gen.
eral remark and discussion in town to-day
We are sorry that we have not a full re.
port of his speech; but a mere abstract
of his remarks will clearly indicate his
position in reference to the proper course
to be pursued by the Federal authori-
ties in reference to persons guilty of dis.
loyalty. .
The point Of Judge Trumbulrs speech
last night, was to show the importance OF
adhering to the Constitution and laws in all
measures adopted for the suppression of
the rebellion. He contended that they
furnished ample provisions for dealing with
traitors in arms or traitors in our midst ;
that the administration and its friends were
weakened by resort to measures of doub.-
ful authority against rebel sympathizers
where the law furnished adequate remedies
that while no one questioned the authority
of military commanders in the field and
within their lines where the civil authori-
ties were overbornc, to exercise supreme
authority, the right to do this in the loyal
portions Of the country where the judicial
tribunals were in full operation was very
questionable, and that by its eA crcise in
such localities, the enemies of the country
were given great advantage, by alleging
that their constitutional rights and privi-
leges were arbitrarily intcrfered with. He
insisted that the Constitution and laws
were supreme in war as we'll as in peace,
and that the denial Of this proposition was
an acknowledgment that the people were
incapable of selfgovernment; that consti-
tutional liberty and the rights of the citizen,
guaranteed by fundamental laws, were of no
value except in peaceful times, so that in
t1multuous times, that personal liberty re-
gulated by law, to establish which the
Anglo.S Saxon race had been contcndng for
centuries, must give way to the discretion
of whoever may happen a. the time to be
at the head Of the Government; that this
the American people are not prepared to
admit, nor is it necessary they should; that
the right of free speech, a free press and
free election will never be surrendered; but
that this freedom does not imply the right
in time of civil war to give cid and comfort
to tn enemies Of the country, either direct.
ly or indirectly, against which the laws
make ample provision, which he called upon
the people to execute"
