CLEAR LEE PRISONS!

On the accession Of new monarch, it is &
custom of the Old World to show mercy tC
some of the luckless inmates Of political pris
ons We entreat our new President to consider
soon and earnestly the propriety Of initiating
and even liberalizng, this excellent custom.
We have no doubt at all of the proprie.y-
nay, the necessity-Of what are termed "Arbi
|trary Arrests" in time of Civil War, in which
TRAITORS are found almost everywhere. Know
ing well that the power to make such arrests
will almost certainly be abused, we yet holC
that it exists and must be exercised. 1ndi
vidualS may suffer injustice; but let then
suffer, if so only can the Republic be saved.
But this power to arrest at will is not only al
|exceptional-it is terrible power. 1t ough

are at the mercy of an individual VII. The
|wielder of such power may be stat' 5man, q
saint and a sage; yet he can hardly hclp anus
ing it, at the beck Of dissem' ling hypocrisy and
scheming vilany. We cannot doubt that
hundreds have been caught up and Gagged who
were innocent and loyal, and whose estates
have become the prey of the perjured villains
who prompted their incarceration.
Had the wholesome safeguards of the act Of
Congress authorizing suspension Of the
privilege of IIabeas Corpus been uniformly
respected the abuses Of this power would have
beer far fewer and less fragrant. We do moi
understand why the provision emitting al
arrested person TO a hearing before some proper
tribunal after few days incarceration should
have been so often disregarded. And it is quite
notorious that some of the arrested were never
worth the cost Of their keeping, moderate as
that was or should have been.
But let bygones be bygones. There are
scores yet in prison on mere warrants who ought
to come out forthwith. Some Of them are only

Miss ANNA f.. DICKINSON will tomorrow
evening speak Of "Our Martyred President at
Cooper Institute. We are quite sure that she
will speak of him more kindly and justly than
in her last address in our City, wherein she
raped him quite smartly for his conference with
Stephens, Hunter and Campbell in Hampton
Roads. Miss Dickinson will live to sec it very
generally agreed-we even hope to find her in
the majorty-that Mr.. Lincoln's earnest anxiety
to avoid the war possible, and 10 end the wal
so soon as possible, were exempfcations of one
of the nObcst traits of his character. IL ever n
ruler was thoroughly guiltless of the rivers OF
blood shed under his rule in great war, our
late President was. He would at any time
have gone on foot from Washington to Rich
mond if he might thereby have secured just
and honorable peace. If Miss Dickinson will
promise to read his two Inaugural Addresses in
the course of her speech, We are confident that
it will increase both the number and the salts.
faction of her auditors. Gov Aiken thinks that
his first Inaugural, if disseminated ungarbled
throughout the South, would have prevented
the War We do not remember any address of
Miss Dickinson's deserving Of so lofty tribute.
