Fiat Iustitia.

Shakespeare tells US that the quality of
mercy is not strained Assuming this TO be
fact, we can only regret that some one does
not volunteer TO strain it. Certainly, the arti-
Gle, as dealt out by the sages of Washington,
requires rectiication, and needs to be drawn
mid. Mercy is good in its place. out OF it, il
becomes weakness, fault, and the germ of
evils. Mercy to al assassin saved Richmond
to the Rebels, when Butler made his famous
raid. Mercy has thinned our ranks by placing
premium upon desertion, has encouraged
treason. and shielded its perpetrators by de-
hecting from them every dart of retributiye
justice. The benefcence, and the quality of
the milk of human kindness exhibited and ex-
pressed by the heads of the Government is i'm
measurable. No gage exists by which we can
compute their volume and consistency. The
results are apparent to all. The Union Ian
guishes that the Rebellion may experience
those calm delights which are induced by mer-
cy-this admirable quality, which is not
strained"
Generals are continually complaining that
they are unable TO prevent insubordination, or
inffactions OF the most necessary rules and
regulations, simply because pardon, not pun
ishment, seems the necessary sequence oftheir
commission. Our black troops are butchered
and tortured, because Mr. Jefferson Davis has
learned to rely upon the suavity of the War
Department Such sacrifices are greater than
the country can afford. War is not science
of positive benefcence, nor are its legitimate
results to be attained by an adherence to those
impracticable ethics which, thangh they may
exist in poetry, can form no part of that prose
which represents the terrible sobriety OF actu-
al warfare. We desire less of this puerile weak
ness which is palmed upon the country under
the appealing guise of mercy. We do net
stand in need OF an adothecary at the helm OF
state, whose only occupation is to consist In
dispensing balms and healing embrocations
The fearful actuality of the existing conflict
admits Of no amelioration of those penalties
which have been incurred defiantly The in
herent mercy which tempers every law is all
sufficient for the satisfaction of our ethical
scrupes.
