How the Money Goes.

When John T. Ford attempted to re-
open his Theatre at Washington and go
on with business which had received
the appreciation and the patronage of
President Lincoln, the War Department
stopped him. After waiting reasonable
time, Mr. Ford made formal demand
for the restoration Of his property, which
being refused. he employed counsel and
was abont TO bring suit against the Secre-
tary of War for damages. This seems to
have brought that distinguished individual
10 realizing sense ofthe responsibility
he had incurred by his arbitrary and
unlawful proceedings He made haste to
do Justice to Mr. Ford. but he did it in
a way that will hardly meet the approba-
ton Of the people Instead of turning
the Theatre ever to ifs owner and allow
ing him to do as he pleased with It. the
Secretary of War has agreed to pay him
fifteen hundred dollars per month for it
till the first of February next, when, if
Congress refuses TO buy it for one hum
dred thousand dollars, 1t is to be given up
to him.
Thus, at the very moment when the
last dollar of the last loan authorized by
Congress has been received and expend-
ed, and when the ablest fhaneiers in the
country are unable to sec where the mon
ey Is to come from that will be needed to
carry the Government through till winter,
the Secretary of War contracts to pay a
rent amounting to eighteen per cent. per
annum on the exaggerated value set upon
this property. He also agrees to recon-
mend the purchase of the property for
the use of the Government, when it is
certain, no matter what may be said to
the contrary and by way of excuse for
the proposed robbery of the treasury, that
it is not needed for the public service
and is not worth the money asked for it.
The seizure of the Theatre when it was
On the eve of being re-opened by its
owner, was an outrage for which the See
retary of War can render no sufficient
excuse. Still less sufficient will be any
excuse he may attempt to render for sad
ding on the empty national treasury the
large amount he has agreed to pay for a
property with which he had no business
to paeddIe.

ure. Who authorizes the election of
those men? The States. The General
Government is not sovereign, neither is it
independent of the States. 1t possesses
no authority beyond that Delegated to it
by the sovereign States. The states have
reserved all rights not delegated to their
agent. The State governments are, in
the language of Scripture, " the powers
that be, , which require aflectionate obedi-
ence to their authority. To resist them
is to resist the ordinance of God; to
revolutionize them by force ct arms is
treasonable rebellion against the supreme
authority of a sovereign State. A SOW
ereion cannot commit treason against a
creature. An inferior may rebel against
a superior. or the creature may commit
treason against the creator, but a soyer-
eign State cannot rebel against depend

will deny. In the light of truth this
places the Great Rebellion upon the
acts of 8 levying war against
a sovereign State, against the Abolition
party who deserve the utmost penalty OF.

supremacy of civil law is restored in this
country, that every one Of them Will be
tried by the civil courts for the crimes
perpetrated by them. Apprehending this
in the restoration of law and order, they
will oppose, with all their might, the
rights ofA sovereign State. This is the
reason why they denounee State Rights.
They are afraid of reaction aud the appli-
cation of their own preaching from the
text, j" Whatsoever We would that men
should do unto you, do We even so unto
them"
What is the duty of Democracy? To
place the sovereignty, freedom and inde-
pendenee of the States in their platform
and then by union of effort preserve de
fend and maintain the doctrine of State
Rights. Then let there also be engrafted
in the platform the time-honered exposi-
ton of our political faith, as contained in
the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions
by the great expositors of the Democratic
creed and success will again perch upon
our banners.

DEMOCRATS ARE CHRIsr1ASs.-An exchange
newspaper says:
The Bible Society is we'll sustained in New
Jersey There are but FIVE other States in
the country that contributes as much, though
its population is less than that of this city
alone. During the year which ended the
lst of April last, the entire receipts amount
ed to $23 ,0l0 A.
OF course What else should we look for
from a staunch Democratic State? 1t is Ehe
old-fashioned Bible that is kept in vo sue
there. The modern Burlingame Bible and
God don't flourish in that locality. They
retain Jesus in the pulpit to the exclusion. Of

ment and virtuous people, not more intent
upon minding their own business than II

Tx SscURITY OF PERSONAL LIBERTY
Senator Wilson, in recent address upon
universal suffrage. says 9 that on the first
day of the next Congress he should introduce
bill for the personal liberty of every free
man on this continent This is excellent,
if the Senator could effect so wide blessing.
There arc persons in Mexico, Brazil, Cuba,
(which is an appondage to the continent,
as we'll as in the United States, who would
like very much to come in under so humane
a provision Of law. But let the Senator use
his exertions at the earliest moment to Sc
cure personal liberty to every freeman in the
United States, which is as far as the power
of our Congress extends. All he has to do
is to introduce a bill restoring the " privilege
of the writ Of habeas corpus" TO all the civil
courts, and putting such guards to it, that
hereafter it cannot be suspended in any case
in time of peace. The habeas corpus is the
best bill for the security of personal liberty
that ever was devised, and no free Govern
ment can do without it. If he can promote
its extension to the /" continent" SO much
the better. The whole family of man ought
to be free, and its personal liberty absolute

a late issue we extract another that is very
positive as to the fact of his being usurper:

is acting in his civil and not his military ca
pacity, and if the conquered provinces are

The SECRETARY OF WAR.-The Pittsburg
Post remarks as follows concerning Mr..
Stanton:
The present Secretary of War is ono of
those singular compounds which nation in
commissions will sometimes throw to the surf
ace, and who, having a rugged strength,
and no sensibility at all, can for while
maintain themselves with wondrous potency.
This results more from rough vigor and pow
ers of physical endurance than from any
thing else. Look around and see the hun
dreds of this class who are now in public
PLACES, who, ten years ago, would not be
thought of for any position more exalted than
a scat in our Common Council. These peo-
pie have made politics trade--a profession
for making money, and during our late civil
war they succeeded in 2 lining their sleeves"
most extravagantly. They arestrong, rough,
energetic fellows, with skins as thick as that
of the rhinoceros, and are, besides, shining
examples that man will never lack gold in
his pockets as long as he carries an abund-
anee of brass in his face.

LADIES RID1SG S1DEKAYs.-The introduc-
ton of this style of riding on horseback is
attributed to Anne of Bohemia, consort of
Richard II. She it was laccording to Stow
who originally showed the women of Eng
land how gracefully and conveniently they
might ride on horse- back sideways. An
other old historian, ennmerating the fash
ions Of Richard II sreign ,.observes: Like
wise noble ladies then used high heads and
corsets, and robes with long trains, and
seats on eide-saddles on their horses, by the
example of the respectable Queen Annie,
daughter of the King of Bavaria, who first
introduced the custom into the kingdom,;
for, before, women of every kind rode as
men.

white men by the Puritans but it is helm

Where is the Gold and Silver ?

A good many people are very much
alarmed about the finances Of the coun-
try, and fear that because they do not
see gold and silver in duly ci-c.lation
as they used to, it has all gone out Of the
country. Such people would be sur
priscd if they could look into few Of
the private boards, to say nothing Of the
public reccptacles Of the country, ahG
sec the nice little sum laid by ugainst q
time Of need, all of which will conc into
circulation in an amazingly short space
Of time rs soon as financial matters be-
come more settled. We know Of an
Irishman, who cannot write bis name,
! who has in store $4,000 in gold coin
and $4,000 in silver coiu. lie has
money enough besides and refuses to
sell his coin at any premium, rs he says
the time may come when he shall want
it.. AS other Irishmen may wish to
know how their countryman happened
to hive so much money, We will add
that the possc:sor Of this hoard never
drank drop of liquor in his life, and
don't stand round street corners pulling
the smoke Of vile tobacco from. a dirty
pipe in the faces Of all the passers by
And there are others besides Irishmen,
who, if they did not get rich, might
profit materially by the abstinence and
prudence practiced by this fortunate son
Of Erin Springfield RepKbltcan.

Colored Schools in Savannah.

Rev. J. W. Ayord makes the follow
ing gratifying announcement in the
Savannah RepuLlican: .....t :.
The Educational Association of the
colored people of tho, city. Of Savannah,
under tho auspices Of General Gcary,
commenced its operations yesterday
Five hundred children and youths as.
scmblcd at the basement Of the First
African Baptist Church, and were dorm
cd into ton schools, each Of which, with
their teachers, marched in procession to
the building assigned them. The spec
tacle was imposing and new for this city.
Their school rooms have been fitted up
with much care and labor BY the colored
people themselves. Indeed, the interest
ing fact in this whole organization is,
that it is wholly their, own. s>>a'., -,
The officers of the association arc all
colored men. The teachers are colored,
each Of whom having been thoroughly
examined, are competent to teach; the
common branches. The, expenses, too,
are all to be borne By them. IT was a
most interesting scene when money was
called for at tho previous meeting, to see
that crowd como forward and deposition.
the communion fable seven hundred and
fifty.four dollars 'in ::sreenbacks' aud
postage for the usu Of the executive
committee. Two or three hundred dol.
lars more was pledged, and the sum will
doubtless be raised to two or Hthreo
thousand. This is tho;moro wonderful
when it is known that this kind. OF
money hasynote been seen hereiuntil: the
