ST. Jous's, n. B., Jan THE examination
Of Collins, Mckinney and Seoly,. charged
with being concerned In tho Chesapeake affair,
waB commenced before the Police Magistrate
this morning. At the outset, the counsel for
the prisoners took exception to the form Of
the warrant, md contended that the case did
not come within the provisions Of Extra
diti N Treaty, as the ot1ense was committed
on the high sea, not within American juris-
dictlon. The magistrate reserved judgment
on these points.
Capt. Willets'{ evidence was then taken.
He modified his first statement, as to the
number Of shots fired at him He now says
there were two or three. In other respects
his evidence is substantially the same as his
published statement.
The examination was adjourned until
Wednesday. The court room WINS crowded
with spectators, but little excitement was

How SHALL SorDWRs VorE-As the
question whether the soldiers of the
army shall be permitted TO vote at the
next Presidential election has been al
ready decided afirmatively in many of
the States, and will, we may presume,
be so decided in all, it is generally felt
that the question next in importance
under this head relates to the manner
in which the ballots Of the soldiers
shall be cast and reported to the com
missioners of the election in the sever
al States. II these ballots are cast by
the soldiers in their camps, under the
direction and subject to the control OF
the military authorities, it is apparent
that the condition of civil independence,
indispensable to the proper exercise OF
the elective franchise, cannot be held
to exist in that case. The freedom
and security of the ballot under such
circumstances will be exchanged for
the regiment and surveillance Of the
military code, under which failure to
reflect the wishes and do the bidding
of superiors is liable TO entail on sub
ordinatos the pains ana penalties OF
military rigor.
And besides, what guarantees are
there to protect the purity Of the bal
lot where the votes of soldiers are de-
posted in camp? Where soldiers
vote by companies, regiments, or brig
AIDES there is danger not only of moral
coercion III individual cases, but the
conditions for determining the right OF
suffrage in such cases do not exist, in
the absence of witnesses to challenge
the right and bear testimony on the
question. The challengers cannot con
front the voter in the camp, and thus
an opening is left for the admission OF
1 fraudulent votes.
These views are SO apparent, and
are felt by men Of all parties to be SC

THE OPENING CAMPAIGN.

Without doubt the time for the
opening campaign has nearly arrived.
The grand armies Of the Union have
been duly marshalled and are about
to advance to what, we trust, will
prove the final conflict in the great re-
bellion. Preparations for the last few
weeks have been made at every point
that our armies might move with en-
ergy and resistless power against the
enemy.
No family in the whole country fails
to feel personal interest in the COM
ing contest which is heightened by the
presence of one or more of its mem
bers. If the capture of Richmond is,
as is conceded by all Of our leaders, a
necessity of the war, then vital impor-
lance attaches to the present advance
movements from the Rapidan south,
and from Yorktown West, Virginia
will be the battle-ground, and at least
half of the forces are to be concentrat-
ed on the soil of the "Old Dominion
The eyes Of the country are fixed
upon the new Lieut.. General who is
the supreme head in military affairs
If there are blunders made now, the
responsibility will lie at Gen Grants
door. If any laurels are gained We
shall know whose brow they ought to
encircle.
The prayers Of all loyal people ought
to ascend to the God of battles that
He will now graciously youchsafe tc
give victory to the soldiers of Liberty
and Union. AS the trumpets SOME
and the hosts gather, let us pray Will
one accord that the conflict may be
speedy and final, and that victory ma,

are trying to promote the cause o
freedom and Justice.

THE FOUR CORNERED Pc
LITICAL EDIFICE,

Among the problems that are dis
tracing the minds of the thoughtful
portion of our politicians, the question
what is to be done with the colored
freedmen that are within our lines p is
not the most insignificant. One of our
exchanges has gwen attention to this
problem and thus happily discusses it:
At the end of three years of war, we
ought to have arrived at some well de-
fined policy as to the measures to be
taken at every step, with regard to the
negroes who are within our lines as
our armies advance.
John Adams tells us that social
order rests on the church, the school,
the town, and the militia This is the
theory of government In the practice
of the last three years, we have found
out that, with these negroes, the de-
crees Of the legislature are by no means
sufficient to give them the blessings OF
freedom. The pious and devoted mis-
sionaries, who interpret to them the
Gospel are satisfied that the church
alone is not a sufficient ally to the leg
islature. The efficient and well con-
Quoted Boards Of Education which
have sent the very flower of the North
to teach them, not only letters, but all
the rudiments Of civilized life, know
very well that church, school-house and
law are not enough. At the end Oh
three years most Of rs have learned
that this edifice has four corners, and
that before it is firmly built, the man
who lives in civil order, who learns at
school, and who worships God, must
be able to carry arms to protect church
home and school-house; and the arms
must be given him to bear.
Once put the citizen in this position
make HIM soldier as web as Juror
scholar and worshipper, and you have
established society on permanent OF
conservative basis. There appears tC
be no other basis So permanent

they do, there is all the more reason

ters have deserted, to continue tn

they best understand. This is who
even their instincts make them wish
