The Cnnfi.rnrinn acr.

Mr.. James Brooks writes to the Express,
from Washington, that the con6scatlon
sct likely TO be passed by Congress will
deprive Southern men Of the means to pay
their debts to Northern merchants after
The war. The amount ewing to Rev York
city alone he estimates at millions Of mill
lions. Mr. Brooks suggests that the era-
ditOrs OF Southern merchants should or
gsni1e and present their claims in Wash
ington, and thinks they can save them
through the set. millions are now owing
10 merchants in Philadelphia; but il is
improbable that any loyal man will object
to necessary legislation for the suppress.
sion Of the rebellion because Of possible
loss indirectly resulting from 1t. Il is un-
likely that, with or without confsosiioD,
ten per cent. Of these Southern debts will
ever be paid. Most Of the claims are
utterly worthless, and Ee cannot see what
right, moral or legal, the creditors Of
rebels would have 10 be indemnifed by the
FoVernnentfor these indirect losses by the
war. Sill, Mr.. Brooks suggestion might
be acted upon without any imprOpriety.-

to make the occasion one Of no
ordinary interest, A large part Of the
books contained the autograph Of Mr..

copies, and some volumes had personal as

could not fail TO cause the spectator some
emotion and to excite a sad interest; as he

EotWithstandi1g sl the efforts made
many Of the rebel privAtesrs still prOWl
about upon the highway Of the seas, al
though they have been driven into waters
where they seldom find prey. Our failure
thus far to take them is no doutt largely
due 10 English neutrality, without which
they would probably never have left Eng
lsh ports. Bat sdll, it must be remem-
bered that steam puts the pirates on equal
terms with our cruisers. They have never
net cur navy in open fight, and msnage to
skulk into neutral ports when hOtly pur-
sued. The following confession Of the
London Times in 1918, will throw some
Light upon the question Of privsteering:
nThe public learn, with sentiments
which We shsll not presume 10 anticipate,
that q third British frIgate has struck TO an
American. 1his is an occurrence that calls
for serious rehection-this, and the fact
stated in our papers Of yesterday, that
Lloyd's List contains notices Of upward Of
Eve hundred British vessels captured in
seven months by the Ameriesns-fve hun
dred merchantmen, three frigs.es, and
three sioops-of-WRr. "Can the statement
be true, and can the English people hear
them unmoVed2 0ns who had predicted
such q result Of an American war this time
last year, would have been treated as a
msdmsn or e traitor. he would have been
told If his opponents had oondesosnded to
argus with him, that long ere seven months
had elapsed, the American flag would be
swept from the seas, the contemplate navy
Of the Ia ed States annihilated, and their
maritime srsenals rendered heaps Of ruins.
Yet down TO this moment, not g single
American frigste has struck her flag. They
insul US, and laugh at our want OF enter
prise and vigOr. They leave their ports
when they please, and return to them
when ii suits their convenience. They
traverse the Atlantic, they beset the West
India Islands, they advance to the very
chops Of the Channel, they parade along
the coasts Of South AmeTics-nothing
ehases, nothing intercepts, nothing enga-
ges them but to yield them triumph"
This shows at least that ii was no easy
matter to put an end to privateering in the
war Of 1872, and if our sleepy Secretary
Of the Navy wants historical parallels
showing how much Of job 1t is to catch
pirates, he will find one in the above ex-
tract from the London Times.

The Commanding General considers 1t
due to the army to state that the Tempo
rary reductions of rstions has been caused
by circumstances beyond the control Of
those charged with fits support Its well
fare and comfort are objects of his constant
and earnest solicitude, and no effort has
been spared TO provide for its wants. It
is hoped the exertions now being made
will render the necessity but of short du
ration; but the history Of the army has
shown that the country can require no
sacrifice too great for its patriotic devo-
ton.
Soldiers, you tread with no unequal
steps the road by which your fathers
marched through suffering, privstion and
blood to Independence. Continue to emu
late in the future as you have in the past
their Vslor In arms, their patent endurance
of hsrdshipF, their high resolve to be free,
which no trial could shake, no bribe Sc.
duce, no danger sppsl, and be assured that
the j1st God who crowned their effOrts
with success, will, in His own good time
send down His blessings upon you

Senator Trumbulrs report from the
Judiciary Committee of facts connected
with the release Of James Hunt from the

Senator Hale Herewith, declares the en-
ployment Of the latter purely professional

accepting fees for services in judiciary
