The Burlington Sentinel accuses us of ly
ing, in hat we represented hat Mr. Red6el
lauded such patriots as Vailaudigham. -
Now. to crafty the Sentinel, we will take
that back, and say that be swallowed the res
oluuons OF the Convention, which are vile.
and more false, we think, than any thing Vail
landigham ever uttered. We have heard him
often, and certainly we never heard any
thing from his lips that was not dignihed and
respectable, when compared with the resolu'
tions adopted by Redfed's convention. Wa
would far sooner trust Vallandigham than
any man who had a hand in concocting those
resolutions, or who deliberately and UNDER
standingly adopted them.

with an authority that can control the armies
now at war against the United States, will

government Of the United States, and will be
met by liberal terms on other substantial and
collateral points and the bearer or bearers
thereof shall have cafe conduct both ways.

Mai. Hay the presidents private secretary,
on the goth, in a note asks Holcombe and
others If they have any communication to
send to Washington by him. Holcombe re-
plies on the 2lsl, regTetting that his stay has
been delay ed by any expectation OF an answer
To his communication TO be delivered to the
president Of the United States, adding that
the communication was accepted as response
70 tho letter Of Messrs. Clay and Holoomoe to
Mr.. Greeley and to that gentleman an answer
bad been already transmitted.
The rebels, in their letter to Greeley, re-
jected the Presidents terms, saying I'll
there be any military autocrat in the Nor'h
who is entitled to proffer the conditions o'
this manifesto, there is none in the South au'
thorized to entertain them" Simultaneous
ly with Greeley's visit to Niagara, another
of the Tribune writers John K, Gilmore
alias Edmund Kirk, and Col. Jaques visited
JEFF. Davis at Richmond, and all they go
was declaration from jeff that he woul'
treat on nc terms that did not embrace rec
ognition OF the Independence of the Southern
Coniede,acy. Thus it will be seen that thu
rebels scorn the chance for peace offered b!
President Lincoln, and put the Chicago con
vention in a tight place.

A JUDICIAL OUTRAGE.

The Court Of Oyer and Terminer, Judge
Barnard on the bench, was witness yesterday to
an extraordinary scene. trial for murder
came on. The Assistant District Attorney
opened the case for the Government. He was
interrupted by one Of the jurors, who rose and
said that if this were trial for murder he could
not sit, as he had conscientious scruples against
hanging. Judge Barnard thereupon stated
we quote from the report" that the juror had
applied to him and stated his scruples, and that
he had taken the responsibility of saying that
this would not be capital case!"
Judge Barnard has very recently done what
he could to degrade tho Judiciary by indecent
language from the bench, and to bring it into
disrepute with loyal men by holding shield
over traitors. He now seeks, apparently, to
strip from it its character for impariality in the
administration OF criminal justice, by under
taking to decide in advance of n trial and in
usurpation of a jury's right, the degree OF
guilt attaching TO criminal arraigned
on charge Of murder. He is SO ignorant Of
his duty and Of his solemn responsibilities that
he does not even seem to be aware that in thus
prejudging case about to be tried before him.
and still more in seeking to pervert the mind of
a juror, he commits a fragrant outrage. What
security has the State against the repeated and
continuous malfeasance in Office of such q
magistrate as this' There is a remedy, indeed
by impeachment; but how long must we wait

NEW -IRRsEY-like most other States that
have voted this year-shows very decided po-
litical improvement in her recent municipal
elections There is scarcely township or
ward in which this change is not apparent;
while in many places beneicent revolution
has been effected. Still, we do not count on
her vote next Fall, because Of tho diSfranchise-
ment Of her soldiers. The Republicans in her
Legislature have done their best to secure to
these the Right of Suffrage; but the Copper
heads defeated it. They could have fixed it ex-
actly TO their liking; for they have Governor
and both Houses, but they knew that nine
tenths Of the soldiers would vote against them;
so they stubbornly refused them the privilege OF
voting at ALL But those soldiers will be com
