WE EHAvg HHARD good deal said recently
about the self-sacridcing patriotism which
induced Mr. Bayard to resign his seat rath
cr than acknowledge the test Of loyalty i'm
posed upon him by the Senate OF the United
States. This would be all we'll enough il it
were true, but we are Of opinion that there
was neither patriotism or conscience in the
matter. Mr.. Bayard could not help resign
ing. lie felt that he had lost cast with his
old political associates in and about Wash
ington, nearly all Of whom had left the cop.
perhead party aud entered the Union ranks.
lie felt too, that every day he remained in
the Senate he was giving the lie to his own
solemn promises to vacate his seat whenev-
cr the people Of Delaware should signify by
IN election that they were opposed to his
principles. These and other causes opera
ted on his mind and hastened his resigna-
ton. If patriotic sefdenial and conscen-
tiOus conviction had actuated him he GER
tainly woul have thrown up all his rights
and privileges as d Senator, whereas II is
well known that he still holds on to the
franking privilege under the law, and in-
tends to food the State, no doubt, with
heretical, secession documents until next
December. While he does this, he certain

bilities OF the oath while he continues to en-
joy even partially, the advantages of hii

SHERMAN AND CoLFAx.

At the Wing Convention held in Philadephis
in 1913. two young gentlemen appeared as dele
gates from two Democratic districts in adjoining
Slatesi and in 1862, they again appeared as
delegates to @ Wing National Convention. A
delegate rose and said that a young friend of his
was present from a district so strongly Demo-
cratic that he could never expect hope to get an
Office of any kind at home, and he wou Id there
fore nominate as Secretary of the Convention,
John Sherman, of Ohio. Another delegate said
that he also had young friend present as a del
egate from another strong Democratic district,
where he could never hope for u home office, aud
he, therefore nominated Schuyler Colfax, of In-
diana, as Assistant Secretary. Two years passed
away, the incipient Steps Of the conspiracy
against the Union were taken by the slave-lOrds,
and in these two old Democratic districts of Ohio
and Indiana, John Sherman and Schuyler COL
fax were elected to Congress. and on the first
Monday Of December, 1866, they took their seats
in the House of Representatives.
Four years ago Mr.. Sherman was put in nom
ination for the Speakership of the House by the
Republicans, but withdrew, md Mr.. Pennington
was elected. In March, 1861, he was elected to
the United States Senate in place of Mr.. Chase,
who resigned To take the place Of Secretary OF
the Treasury. Mr.. Collax continued in the
House, and is now its Speaker These two for
tunate aud successful gentlemen were born in
the same year; one in March, the other in May

faithfully represents his party. Whether

the living exemplification Of Delaware dis.

THE BATTLE CRY

Senator Sumner Of Massachusetts, offered
u few days ago, in the Senate, an amend
ment to the Constitution declaring that
slavery shall be forever abolished in all the
States and territories of the Union. This
is the first blow aimed directly and with
force, at the heart, soul and life of treason
and rebellion, by Congress. The safety and
peace of the Republic demand the utter ex-
tiuc'iou OF ssNVSry SrOu its domain, the peo-
pie are prepared for the work Of eradication
and the civilized world stands ready to ap.
plaud Americas redemption from the last
relic of savage barbarism. Let the question
of the abolition of slavery, therefore, entei
the approaching Presidential contest lei
the battle cry in November next, be Uncon-
ditional Union, and Unconditional Liberty
for every man woman and child that breathes
the pure air of heaven throughout our land.

A COntraband Camp.

1t will read like neat though minor
pi zee Of retributive justice in the history Of
this rebellion that while jeff. Davis is busy
at Richmond, working with torch and sword
at the fabric Of the Government in behalf
of slavery, his princely plantation in Mssis-
sippi, a few miles below Vicksburg, is given
up to camp, shelter and instruction for
the poor victims of the crime the rebels
desire to perpetuate. On this camp is being
gathered a population of $4,000 black
women and children, and old men, refugee s
from the troubles that possess the land of
Dixie By its location in a wide bend of
the river, comparatively few Union troops
can serve for defensive purposes, for the
gunboats can cover nearly the entire APP
proach, and hold any force of the enemy in
check. Thus in the very hot-bed of the
rebellion, and on the spot that was the
home of the arch fend, the work of redeem
ing and elevating the poor victims of slav.
cry has well begun. Several district schools
are in operation, labor is encouraged and
stimulated by appropriate rewards, and JEFF.
Davis own cotton is kept busy for the good
of VIII omsoever among the contrab ands
has the enterprise and industry to raise q
little patch of staple. This city of refuge is
so placed that it will be rapidly swelled by
an influx from all throughout the south
west. The blacks have a free masonry very
effective for the dissemination of sucf
secrets, and they will make for the flag
where it floats over that camp. 1t is one
of the small but important reachings to-
ward the solution of a vexed question

MILWAUKEE, Friday,

MILWAUKEE, FRIDAY, Lee. z.
During the heavy storm of wind and rain
that came up last night the brig Mahouy,
in tow of the tug Muir, for this port was
capsized and sunk off Port Ulee, about fifty
miles north of this city. Capt. Tabbenner,
insurance agent of this city, and the mate
Of the vessel were drowned. The pumps
having failed, the brig went down in a mo-
ment after she careened. The captain of
the ill-fated vessel and several of the sea-
men jumped overheard and swan beyond
the reach of the suction and were saved.
The brig went ashore some ten days ago,
and Captain Tabbenner went out with the
tug to bring her to this port At the time
OF the accident the vessel was about three
fourths of mile from the shore. 1t is a
source of extreme regret to the friends of
tho lost that the tug was unable to pick up
the bodies. Capt. Tabbenner was well
known to vessel and insurance men on the
lakes, and particularly among shippers in
this city. He was deservedly popular
among all who had business with him. He
leaves wife and family of children to
mourn his untimely loss.
