An Over.Omcious Judge.

Some weeks ago journalists that think
there has not yet been sufficient amount
of blood shed, clamored for the Indictment,
trial, conviction and execution of Generul
LEE, in violation of the terms of surrender
that he had entered into with General
GRANT, and which were sanctioned by
President LINCOLN. Judge UNDERWOOD,
of the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Virginia, appears to
have looked to these newspaper suggestions
as to his duty. At all events. in his late
address to the Grand Jury, at Norfolk, he
recommended that they make presentments
against traitors and secessionists, and told
the Grand Jury at the close of his charge,
that the terms of the parole agreed upon
with General LEE were "mere military
arrangement, and can have no influence
upon civil rights, or the persons interested"
Upon this charge, The PHILADELPHIA Inquirer,
as strong an Administration journal as any
in the country, thus expresses itself: . ;r
"There are many who may regret that
the terms of the parole were too liberal, in
their Judgment, but they must recollect
that they were approved by that good man,
Abraham Lincoln, in whose loyalty, justice,
and excellent common sense the whole ma
ton trusted. The parole is an act of the
Government, which, being once agreed up
on, must not be dishonOred by breach of
faith. While we'look at our side of the
question, we must also look at the other
Had it been said to Lee antlshis soldiers;
I'VE parole you now, but will have every
one of you up for trial hereafter before the
civil Courts they would have rejected such
terms and with bloody desperation fought
until they were annihilated. The war would
not have been closed to-day. Every rebel
army would have been defiant, and many
thousand precious lives of our soldiers
would have been sacrificed, whilst our bur-
den of debt would have kept embarrassing
with a frightful acceleratiOn. We must
look at this question not merely through
the legal spectacles of Judge Underwood,
but as a matter concerning the national
honor. The Government is charged with
the duty Of enforcing the Constitution and
\ the laws. We should trust to its high Off
GERS, and we think that the volunteer efforts
of Judges, who go out of their way to cre-
ate sensations, should be generally discour-
aged.Dl 4oi D9hsiHIgfr gold unn %
Undoubtedly, it was the charge Of Judge
UNDERWOOD that led to the rumor that
General LEE had been indicted on charge
of treason. The Inqtiirer's comments de-
serve commendation for the good sense they
display. 80. a0 .a1ii.s.. 5no nor fsr ia!

first of his party to accept the new pro-
gramme of Reputation issuediby Wendell

Here we have distinct threat of seces-
sion and reputation, the two great ''ideas'
of Jefferson Davis, held over us by Sumner
and Phillips, unless the country compels
President Johnson to violate his own copyic-
tions of duty,and the principles of the Con-
stitution! Aud while Jefferson Davisis put
upon trial for his life at Washington, Sumner
and Phillips are haranguing Massachusetts,
into a new crusade against peace and the
Union. For this crusade, Mr.. Sumuer has
already found name. He styles 1t holy
war against an ''Oligarchy of the Skin"
Mr.. Summers Greek is as bad as his princi-
Piles. An oligarchy has heretofore been sup
posed to be government of the many by
the few; so that it is difficultto see how the
government of three millions Of negroes
by thirty millions of whites can be called
an ''oligarchy," unless, indeed. Mr.. Sumner
holds that one negro is more than equal to

.Editorinl Reciprocity -

The State Journal charged that the as
,sassination of President LINCOLN was trace
able to Democratic teaching. We repelled
the charge, by reproducing an editorial ar
ticle from The STATESMAN of last year, In
which The Journals reprehended for print
ing suggestion looking to "the taking of"
of the late President. The reproduction of
that article, and what we have since said
about the publication OF Deacon GRAY's
letter in The Journal, so enraged the editor
of that paper, that he descended to person.
alities in his issue of Monday morning, and,
by innuendo, assailed the senior editor OF
this paper. ....t.,,oy tc..,,.. t,,ft y,,i.,.,;.
The senior editor was resident in Wash
ington County from CaS43 until he came
to Columbus in 1861; and from the
time he completed his Collegiate course In
1s4S; he was actively engaged in all The po-
ltical contests there--being the editor OF
the Democratic organat Marietta a number
of, years. He was often maligned and ira
duced, as all political journalists are; but be
always had the confidence of good men of all
parties-and when he left for this city, he
had land has now, at least, as many friends
in Washington county, as the editor of The
Journal had in Clarke county, when "a lit
tie transaction made livery convenient for
him to take final FAREWELL of Springfield.
The senior editor was candidate for Pres
idential Elector the Fall before he came
here. and received more votes In Washington
county than anyof the candidates that were
running on the SAME ticket with him--and
more than were ever cast for any other
Democratic candidate in that county. r.Lr.
Years ago, at the very time that the senior
editor was assailed byofoes as Indignantly
as he ever was, the present editor Of The
Journal "turned up, at that very town Of
Harmar, as peddler of slight literature"
and as "gumption-lecturer; y and he then
and there called upon us for put in The

table. Now, he repays our kindness and
hospitality with assaults Yet this creature

. We beg the readers pardon tor writing
this article. Our only apology is found in
the innuendos of The Journal which madeit

journalist to do, without being called upon
to devote his time and space to personal
matters. This is not to our taste; but ''ed-
itorial reciprocity" sometimes requiresit! y

~ Disgraceful Riot.

Since the advent of Sherman's Army to
this neighborhood, there have been many
assaults of soldiers upon negroes, and in a
number or cases negroes have been serious
ly injured, and it has been found necessary
to call out the provost guard to put down
the disturbance. The most serious of these
affrays occurred this morning, and in the
very heart of the city. Some two hundred
soldiers of the 10th Corps were engaged in
it. They madean assault upon the negroes
with clubs, stones, axes and revolvers, and
Tor half an hour a scene of destruction was
witnessed. Houses were broken open, fur
niture smashed, women and children knock
ed down, men badly beaten and robbed.
The negroes at firstyf fled in confusionl and
dismay but finally rallied, and there was
then a good deal of firing on both sides. lj
The riot was not put down Gill company
of soldiers arrived. One respected citizen,
who interfered to keep the peace, was set
upon by the soldiers engaged in the mob,
and so badly injured that it is feared he can
not live. 1t is impossible to tell the whole
number of persons injured, but it is said
that one of the soldiers had his bowels .ripr
ped open, and that two or three others were
shot. 1t is also reported that tseven0r eight
colored people, who were attacked in their
houses, were very badly hurt.--W aslItngtorl

u 1T has been reported, not reliably, we
think, that General Lee is to be indicted
and tried for treason. We cannot believe
the report, because such an action against
General Lee by United States authority
would be in utter violation of the articles
of surrender which he, as commander OF
the rebel army of North Virginia, accepted
from General Grant. The faith of the na-
tion was sacredly pledged by those articles,
and they amply protect him and all who OBJ
serve them from any such disturbance by
our authorities, either civil or military.
The following article of the surrender Is
"Each officer and man will be allowed to
return to their homes, not to be disturbed
by United States authority so long as they
observe their parole and the laws In force
where they reside."' yrigcgg .Y2b uO4S
We trust that the authorities Of the Uni
ted States will scrupulously uphold every
article OF the agreement between Grant and
Lee. o A violation of them would be utterly
disgraceful. Louisville Journal. 1a.I 10
