| The Rebel Press OF New York the
Late Execution.
| The rebel journals of New York have lately
been as Industrious, earnest and violent in
defending the Washington assassination con-
spirators as they were, down to General Lees
surrender, in upholding the cause Of the rebel
lion. On Friday last, after a protracted trial
before o military court appointed under the
authority of the President Of the United States,
four of those assassination conspiratOrs, having
been condemned to death, were executed
Their execution is instantly seized upon by the
most reckless of these aforesaid rebel journals
canism," "violation of the forms Of justice"
and as "the records of the degradation and
impotence Of our judicial system sealed in
blood" This act is further denounced as with
out palliation, and "withOut justification upon
any plea that even despotism uses in trampling
upon liberty" for had not Mr.. Reverdy John
son, of counsel for Mrs. Surratt, shown by his
argument in her defence that this military
court was as clearly an unconstitutional usurpa-
ton as the coercion of sovereign State?
What, then, remains to be done to rectify this
alleged "violation of the forms Of justicey" The
rebel organ in question calls upon its followers
TO ''organize, subscribe and resolve, before the
names of your fathers of the days Of the Revo-
luton, that, in the name Of God and Liberty,
you will prosecute David Hunter, Joseph Holt,
John A. Bingham and all their associates for
the crime of MURDER" and, if necessary to the
vindcaton OF justice, this prosecution must be
pursued "to the execution of the sentence on
those tools of lawless power even unto DEATH"
Singularly enough, however, this il TO be done
in order TO sustain the Executive" in teaching
a lesson in history which cannot be otherwise
taught. We cannot understand this curious
logic; for, il we are not mistaken, upon the
shoulders OF the Executive, Andrew Johnson,
President Of the United States, falls the chief
responsibility for this military court, this mill
tary trial and this military condemnation and
execution of those reasonable conspirators
hanged on Friday.
President johnson cannot be separated from
the court in the convenient fashion suggested
by this aforesaid rebel journal. He stands be-
tween the court and its accusers, and they can
not reach the court without first impcaching
him. And, with all the ferocity of the rebel
journal in question, il exhibits very neaking
