"When the battle was at an end the Deer

Lancaster was asked by the officers OF the Fed

Alabamas crew and officers who were floating
and winning about. He lowered his yacht
boats and one of them, commanded by a man
named Adams, was steering his boat into a
group Of dozen struggling persons, when he
passed drowning man at some short distance

on TOD! 1t is a joke eminently charac-
teristic of its author.
The Abolitionists at Washington appear
to have fallen into a panic. There is no
craftsmanship, no wisdom, no discretion, no
common sense among them. Mad with fa-
naticism, frenzied with malice, intoxicated
with the novelty Of despotic power, which
the apathy of the people promises to con-
tinue for them, they drivel and joke and ri
ot while the sinews of the people are being
stretched to the breaking point to maintain
the extravaganza of rulers, and while the
bottom is falling out of the financial system,
threatening wide spread universal ruin
The end of this violent and terrible parox-
ism is approaching apace, but 1t is an end
to Which the people involuntarily close
their eyes in dismay.

The Coles County II.) Prisoners.

The spiriting away of the Coles county
prisoners by order of the War Department
after the Grand Jury had failed to find in
dictments against them, and just as the
United States Circuit Court at Springfield
was about to act upon their cases, is anoth-
er and most aggravated instance of the de-
termination Of the administration to subor-
dinate civil law to the military power; and
the aggravation is heightened by the fact
that Judge Davis was on the bench-a
Judge appointed by President Lincoln him
self, but in whose subserviency to himself
he does not seem to have much confidence.
Of course the judicial proceedings in the
cases of these prisoners would have been
under the act of Congress passed with es-
pecial reference to such cases. This act of
Congress is overridden.
The prisoners are sent to Fort Delaware,
where they will languish without trial, as
they have languished in military custody
for several months East. Why not try
them, and punish such OF them as are guilty
and release such of them as are innocent?

secretary Of tr,e Treasury.

DAVID ToD is not Secretary of the Treas
ury. That last and greatest humiliation
has been averted. His appointment was
sent to the Senate, but the Senate, fanaticab
senseless and corrupt as it is, after three
hours stormy denunciation of the appoint
ment, refused to confirm it, and ToD had
sense enough to decline when he found the
bauble beyond his reach. WIN. P. FEssEN-
DEN, Of Maine, chairman of the Senate COM
mittee on Finance, was then appointed and
Immediately confirmed by the Senate. He is,
of course, from New England, but from his
position and acquaintance with the financial
condition of the government, it is supposed
he Is competent to manage the Treasury
Department as well as CHASE managed it
In view of the narrow escape it has had
from TOD, the country will acquiesce In the
selection Of FEssENDEN. He at least un-
derstands the multiplication table, which is
a decided advantage he possesses over the
gentleman firstappointed. Whether he has
the capacity to retrieve the desperate for
tunes Of the country, bring order out of
chaos, or stay the impending ruin which
threatens the erroneous and inflated system
offinances he inherits. is another question,
which remains with the future.
The very fact that Mr.. LINCOLN contem-
plated the elevation of DAVID ToD to the
position Of Secretary Of the Treasury, in
dicates that the Administration is in the
last stages of imbecility, and constitutes a
forcible. illustration of the shocking in
competency Of the President. Incapable
himself he deSired to surround himself with
kindred spirits whose imbecility would con-
ceal his own unfitness. The superior abili-
ties Of CHAsE cast him In the shade and
aroused the easy jealousy Of the weak
minded President. The total unlitness and
hopeless incapacity Of ToD would have re-
lieycd the position Of his chief. There Is
not the shadow of doubt In the mind of any
one acquainted with the man, that Ton
would have involved the financial system
Of the Government In total and irretrieva-
be ruin In a fortnight. The Senate was
doubsless Of this opinion and sent the APP

r.incoln,s Acceptance.

rha latter from President LINCOLN ac-
cepting the nomination of the shoddy Con-
vention for President which we published
yesterday, is study to the politician. 1t
is marvellously brief but its brevity arises
from the fact that the President had nothing
to say, or because it was not worth while to
waste his time upon his servants. Masters
are not accustomed to argue with their in
struments, and LINCOLN did not feel like
wasting words with those who had simply
performed his bidding.
But Old ABE does slap the Convention in
the face in one curt and saucy paragraph.
He was justly indignant that the Convention
which he himself made, had presumed to
exceed their instructions, and pass reso-
luton contrary to what he directed. The
Conventions platform has something in it
about maintaining the Monroe doctrine and
opposing the establishment of a monarchy
in Mexico. This was great piece of i'm
pudence in the Convention, especially when
it is remembered that LINCOLN and SEWARD
have all along encouraged France in her
Mexican enterprise, and given Napoleon
assurances Of the satisfaction with which
his operations have been regarded by the
Administration. Now this impudent Con-
vention Of LNcoLN's office holders, coE-
tractors and creatures had the presumption
to resolve that the Monroe doctrine shall be
carried out. Now what does Old ABE do
about this? He took it coolly, and sharply
rebukes the Convention by saying that he
will persist in the course in relation to Mex
leo ''sohich has been assumed through the
State Department" That is, he will kick
the resolution of the Convention out of the
White House and go OH just as if it had
never been adopted Is it expected that a
man who does not consider himself bound
by his oath to the Constitution is to be gov
erned by resolution passed at Conven-
ton of his own serfsP ABRAHAM has treat
ed his presuTptuous creatures as they de-
serve, and his lerrer Ur acceptance. brief as
it is, SETTLES the business about Mexico.

New Law.

A sLoyal'' Paper thinks COnscriP-
tion may be Avoided Under the
New Law.
lFrom The New York Evening Post.l
THE ONE GREAT BUSINESS OF THE HOUR.
Congress has thought fit to abolish the
use of Communication or exemption money,
and thus obliges all who are edrawn to serve
hin person or to procure substitutes them
s>lyes. We have not thought this the best
wtlS we were, as our readers know, desirous
| to seetfe three hundred-dollar exemption
clauseretained. But the War Department
and the Provost Marshals have urged very
strongly hat to get men exemption for
money must be abolished.
But while this course will seem hard and
injudicious to many, the act now passed
contains two or tliree clauses which will
make draft unnecessary, If they are prop
erly used by the States, as we have no doubt
they will be. The first gives sixty days
after any call for men by the President as
the period within which the quota of any
State or township may be filled by volun-
teering-that is to say, the people are to
have two months notice before the draft is
made. Bounties are also secured of 5000
for one year enlistments, $500 for two years
enlistments, and $400 for three years, unless
the volunteer or substitute be sooner dis
charged, and payable. to him on discharge
by reason of wounds, or to his family in
case of hisdeath.
The second clause authorizes all loyal
States to enlist men within the rebel States
and count them upon their own quotas.
This measure, which has long been urged
upon Congress, we count one Of the most
important of the session. With its help we
need have no apprehensions ofa draft in
the free States. Every State can fill its
quota by proper and timely exertions from
among the loyal whites and blacks of the
rebellious States. We hope Governor Sey-
mour will make arrangements at once to
send recruiting officers South; the bounty
fund, If properly used, will gain us with
little trouble more than our quota upon
the next call, and at the same time we shall
injure and weaken the enemy, for every
man enlisted in our ranks in the South is
one less available to Lee and Johnston-one
more saved from the devouring conscription
of jeff. Davis.
With sixty days notice, the very large
bounties, and the privilege of recruiting
in the South, we shall have no more drafts,
at least in those States which encourage the
raising of negro troops. We hope the War
Department will at once set apart for each
free State recruiting district in the South
ern fold.

JuDeE Esr1LI, Of Holmes county, insists

JUDGE EsTILI, of Holmes county, insists
that we do him injustice by representing
him as changing from war candidate to a
peace candidate. We suppose we were
misled by the Democratic paper in his
county. We drew our conclusions from
that paper. If it lied about him it is not
our fault-Crfsis.
If Col. Medary's scull was so thick as to
draw conclusions of that kind, it is no fault
of ours. But we can account for the milk
in the Colonel's cocoa-nut. We did not
vote for him for Delegate for the State at
large to the Chicago Convention. We had
not forgotten his Chase in '48, his Breck in
'6O, nor his factious disposition in '64. Bet

WATER ON FIRE.-The following exciting
event. according to a correspondent, took
place recently in Baltimore narbor: Our
harbor has been on fire for the last twenty
four hours, literally on fire. The surface of
the water for thousands of square yards has
been perfect flame, caused by the destruc-
fire while lying at the wharf and loading
with petroleum. She had on board one
thousand eight hundred barrels, and had to
be towed over to the opposite side of the
basin to save the surrounding property. As
the barrels would burst the oil spread over
the water in flame.

to whitewash the whole affair, and through

of the case, and make such an exposure of
Clark and his operations in the printing and
currency bureau as will cause every honest
Republican to blush. An attempt will be
made to suppress affidavits and other docu-
