Mons OF SrASToS's ISFANT.-The Eastern
papers stated a few weeks ago that Secretary
Stanton had ordered the trial Of Petit, the
Alexandria jailer. by a VI litary Commission.
Later news states that Stanton has since
countermantlei that ordeg, dissolved the Com
mission which aas e Lave tried Petit. and
entirely stopped The proeeelings in the case.
The reason he assigns CIR this extraordinary
conduct is that he discovered the trial of
Petit would implicate toa many prominent
men Among the " lnyalists." Petit's crimes
are represented TO be worse than the offences
charged against Wirz, yet he is to be untried
and UNPUBLISHED, not because he is not gull
ty. but only for the reason that in trying
him too many Of Secretary Stanton's own
friends and fayorites will be implicated, and
their crimes become known to the public.
Let readers reflect urau this atracious usur-
patton Of a Cabinet officer. who thus places
himself above The Constitution and laws,
above the judiciary of the land, in the treat
ment Of persons charged with offences ol
grave character. lie u~ulawfully orders the
trial Of a prisoner by al unlawful tribunal,
and then, at his own caprice, to save his
personal favorites-who are guilty of infa-
nous crimes-from the hazard Of prosecu-
ton, dissolves the tribunal, and stops all
process in the case. This is but a fair spec
men of Abolition justice, as praotised by the
nresent administration officers and those
holding authority under it.

QUERY.-We are puzzled to under
stand Abolition theories and Abolition
practiees-the two Y agree, and arc
either hostile or dissimilar. In
the cases of the States and the " Flag o
our Country for instance. The loyal >
zealots insist upon having the full mum
Der of stars upon all the " Union " flags
each star representing a State of The
Union. To show all these stars a good
many of them have to patch on to tho
flags they paraded five or six years agc
some fourteen or fifteen additional " twink.
lers, representing the Southern States
but they serupuleusly do this patchwork
and show all the States-West Vircini;
included. Yet, when it comes to recoc
nize eleven Of these very States which
they represent on their "starry flags
they insist that they are not States, bu
conquered provinces. Then why Civ,
equal place and rank on their banner t,
the emblems of freedom, might and glory
and to the badges Of subjugation, weak
ness and seryitude? If the particular
eleven bodies be not States, why ranl
them as such on the flag? We are puz
zled to understand these strangely con
aicting theories and practices.

Look on Born SIDEs.-Ih he Abolition
Journals are very busy nowadays in Civ
ing fabricated or exaggerated accounts Of
the suflerlngs undergone by Federal pris-
0ners OF war who had been confined in
Confederate camps or prisons, and try to
make it appear that they have a vast deal
OF sympathy for The sufferers. Also. they
insist that hanging is the mildcst pus5sl
ment which ought to be administered to
all the rebel officers or suhalterns who had
any kind OF charge over the prisoners. If
the sympathy NANTES ed by these howl
ing Abolitionists is Mt all real, there is
still ample opportunity for its application
in a substantial way towards the suffering,
destitute, starving and perishing families
of wounded, disabled, or deceased soldiers
in all the Northern States. And. if their
fertaglare so fearfully shocked as they
pretend, at the " barbarities" practised by
the rebels upon Federal prisoners of war,
it would be inconsistent and unnatural
for them to deny their fair measure Of
sympathy, also. in behalf of the hundreds
of innocent men in the loyal States
who were, ike DR.. Olds, snatched sud
denly from their homes, hurried eff to
Federal dungeons. and there, held and
tortured for months or years, without even
the shadow Of a charge for any known Of
fence resting upon them. We might also
refer to the shocking atrocities perpetrat-
ed upon rebel prisoners of war held in
Camp Chase. on Johnson's Island, ut FL,
mira, Alton, and other camps aud prisons,
during the war. by Federal keepers and
subalterns--a recital of which would cast
into the shade all that is told Of the "rebeI
prison pen at An~dersonYille," by Stan
tan's paid perjurers and writer's. But We
abstain from mentioning details. We
simply call attention to the fact that The
men who proclaim all this extraordinary
sympathy in 'ror.is. do not offer or gir'
the least substantial evidence of the real
ity of such sympathy. They simply u.s.
their one-sided stories for political capital
Earnest humanity would prompt an at
%tention to both sides of the evil and tn,
suffering, and seek for an amelioration 0
the condition Of all the sufferers.

A QUESTION DEcIDED.-At the late
Charter election in this city the Abolition
Judges of Election decided that the nine
ty days residence law was applicable to
the election, notwithstanding the Charter
law expressly declares that thirty days
residence in the corporate limits shall be
sufficient. An opinion upon this mooted
question has been had from what may be
considered the highest judicial authority
in the State, and that authority declares
that to vote at a charter election in Alba
ny under the present charter, the voter
has only to have resided six months in
the State and thirty days in the city that
the ninety days law does not apply to the
case ut all. Had this rule been observed
ut the late Charter election, instead Of
electing only two of the Democratic can
didates, u party would have elected all
of them by a snug little majority.

sIcSIFrcANr.-Late Iowa and Ohio papers

johnson is returning to Democracy.

avail. Not one of them all has yet even con.
demned the application of torture.
The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1865-12-30

DIscREDITABLE.-The Abolition papers
in Oregon have given the contents of a
letter received from Senator Williams, in
which the writer says he has had a pri-
cate interview with President johnson,
aud then proceeds to reveal all that the
President said to him c~onfdentially. That
is very unlike what a gentleman, or a
man Of any %pretensions to honor, would
be guilty of doing. 1t is very like Geo.
FL. Williams, however, and just what any
body who knows him would expect him
to do. He is busy writing letters to make
it appear that he is taking an active part
in behalf of the wants of Oregon at the
Federal capital. 1t is a very easy thing
to write such letters; equally easy to
have his organs publish them. But Of
what benefit is all tbs to the people!
