Military and Civil Law.

The terms granted LEE, remarks the Pitts
burg Commercial, We're to him as command
er Of the army. The question is asked, do
they clear him from the consequences of
seeking to overthrow the government? We
conclude not The crime of treason must be
tried by the civil tribunals, and in LEE S
case has not been compounded. The terms
of his surrender simply fixed his status and
that of his army as prisnors of war. In ma
ny ways the principal has been recognized.
We have continually exchanged prisoners,
held intercourse and observed regulations
known only to legitimate warfare. And
herein may be found to exist serious COM
plication; but we see nothing in it to justi-
fythe suggestion that LEE is not still amena-
BILE to the civil law, on the charge of having
sought to overthrow the government.

Historic Lesson.

To put down the most criminal conspiracy
the world has ever seen, we sent forth the
flaming sword-but now having vanquished
j the guilty traitors. it is gracefully magnani-
nous to tender the olive branch. Having
got possession Of their political metropolis,
1T may be instructive to recall the memorable
|entrance of the allied sovereigns into Paris
in 1914, and to trace the steps of their de-
meanor after they obtained full control OF
the capital of the fallen Emperor
History" says Lord Jeffrey, ''records
no instance Of greater magnanimity, pru-
dence and torbearance- councils more
hrm-ot gallantry more generons-of mod
.eratlon dIgnltied or wiser. The proclamations
of Alexander of Russia, to the military men
who might be in Paris on his arrival-hIs
laddress to the Senate-were both conceived
in the very highest strain of nobleness and
wisdom. They have all the spirit. the
%courtesy, the generosity of the age Of chiv-
Fairy: and all the midness and liberality of
philosophy. The disciple of Fenelon could
not have conducted himself with more amia-
bleness and grandeur; and the fabulous he
fro of that lofty and philanthropic moralist
has been equalled by Russian monarch in
the first flush and tumult Of victory. The
Esublimity Of the scene, indeed, and the mer-
it of the actors viii not be fairly apprecia-
tied if we do not recollect that they were ar
bitrary sovereigns who had been trained to
.consult their own feelings. rather than the
srights of mankind who had been disturb
led on their hereditary thrones by the wanton
|aggressions of the man that now lay at their
.mercy-and had seen their territories vast
Jed, their people butchered, and their capi-
/ tails pillaged by him whom they had, atlast,
chased to his den, and upon whose capital
and people they might now repay the insults
(which had been offered to theirs. They
judged more magnanimously, however; and
they judged more wisely, for their own glo-
ry, for the objects they had in view, and for
the general interests of humanity. BY their
generous forbearance and singular modera-
ton they not only put their adversaries in
] the wrong, in the eyes Of all Europe-but
] sthey made them appear little and ferocious
in comparison and while overbearing ali
Opposition by superior force and heroic res
solution they paid due honor to the valor
by which they had been resisted, and gave
no avoidable offense to that pride which
might have presented the greatest of all OBJ

At the conclusion of the above remarks
sthe President received the kind wishes OF

few minutes We're devoted to conversation.
All were deeply impressed with the solem-
1 nifty of the OCCASION aud the recent sad oc-

speedy inauguration of the President was
{gravely discussed.
At twelve o clock the President met the
heads of departments in cabinet meeting at
kthe Treasury building, and among other
business the following was transacted
First, the arrangements for the funeral of

that he desired to retain the present Secre-
