Freedom Of Speech Assured.

Among the valuable results Of this
war, VIC esteem as first and highest of
all, the enlargement Of tho area Of FREQ.

ter of: 4 century no man, entertaining
an,islavcry opinions, could, with safcty,
travel through the Southern States with
out conccaIing or denying his scnti.
mcnts. 1t has been land Of vigilance
committees, moi's, and Lynch law. The
circulation Of books, papers and period.
Gals, however moderate their anti-sluvcry
character, has been restricted or alto.
scther prohibited. Tho citizens Of the
States themselves, who had the bolduess
20 declare their conviction that slavery
was morally, socially, or politically
wrong, were driven out Of community or
forced, as a matter Of safety, to recans
their opinions.
If they had the tenacity 10 exercise
the r1sht'of suffrage according to their
convictions of what wps wise and proper
and bes. for the welfare Of the nation,
they literally took their lives in their
hands. Thank GoD, this is past; Hero.
after thero is to be FREQ discussion and
free elections Whenever the foy Of tho
Union asserts the supremacy Of tho
Government. Once the civil power Of
the Government is firmly established,
and the necessity for the exercise Of mil
itnry rigor done away, the people will
enjoy in greater degree than ever the
freedom Of speech and Of tho press. -.

The Question.

EnS. IorENAL:-
The following was suggested by a
conversation that took place between
prominent rebel, jus: returned from
four years sojourn in Dixie, and loyal
lady of this place, few evenings since,
from which it appears pretty evident
that, as was supposed, Lee struck the
KEY note Of the rebels Song Of Subm!s-
sion in his recent annunciation Of prin'
ciplcs that, iu his judgment, should
rovern tue Administration in its future
policy, not toward the Southern States,
but toward the leaders of the Rebellion.
The fate of the South seems to DC
settled. All seem to understand the
policy upon which the States in rebellion
arc to be brought back into the Uhion
again. The dead carcase Of Slavery is to
be totally ignored, and loyal men Gre to
re.orcanizc the State governments and
bring them back.
But in the fate Of the "lcaders,'
there seems to be a question not so well
defined, especially in tho rebel mind
All loyal men agree as to the law made
and provided in the case; but rebels
looking at the matter through different
lens, seem to see it in a different light

Attempted Murder by n Jealous Hus
hhk,A

A singular and ine1plicable case of at
tempted murder has just occurred at Chi
cago. It appears that fair looking young
physician, named Miller, an only boarder
in private house, was left with its mis-
tress by the proprietor for several days.
On the return of the latter he suspected
the infidelity of his wife, and Dr. Miller,
becoming alarmed for his safety proposed
to leave. As he was bidding the family
goodbye the infuriated husband inflicted
a dangerous wound on his head with a
fat-iron, from the effects of which he now
lies in semi-unconscious state, now and
then utterihg a few incOherent words that
give no clue to the author of his sad con-
dition. The police are still engaged in
ferretting out the jealous husband.

sIarerr I'm Kentucky.

That staunch and earnest friend of
human freedom, General J. NJ. Palmer,
commanding the Department of Ken
lucky, has announced by circular" the
ratification of the anti-slavery constitu-
tional amendment by the Legislatures of
three-fourths of the States, and its con-
sequent adoption as part of the Constitu-
ton. He declares that slavery has ceased
to exist in Kentucky, and that all orders
relating to the issuing of passes to colored
people are rescinded, as the negroes are
henceforth under the protection of the
general laws of the land. General
Palmer undoubtedly means well by this
action; but no less undoubtedly has he
greatly overstepped the line of his duty in
assuming to pass upon grave constitu-
tional question. His duties are strictly
executive and military. He is not the
proper judge of the steps necessary for the
ratification of the amendment. So, while
we hold that the amendment has been
legally ratified, and that too, without the
assistance of single one of the "late
Confederate States" 4" its adoption has
not yet been officially announced either by
the President or Congress, and it is not
the business of any department command
er to supply their omissions or delays.
