Treatment OF Prisoners.

The Richmond Wing of the 9th june
publishes the report of the joint select com.
mittee of the confederate congress upon the
treatment osprisoners.
This report complains that the publication
of the Sanitary Committee, with its photo
graphs, is "sensat ic nap and false, inasmuch
as it takes special cases of the veiy sick,
exchanged as such, and would convey the
impression that cases OF sickness would not,
in all times and in all conditions, furnish pre-
cisely such pictures.
1t also asserts that the confederate prison
ers exchanged for those ghastIy objects pre-
sentedi 1.-THE same shapes of misery.
1t asserts that the treatment of prisoners
was intended to be humane, and that they
Jared, in many cases, better than the confed-
crate soldiers.
We know that during the Revolutionary
war, Americans, as prisoners, were very
badly treaten we know that The English
generals indignantly denied any intentional
lnhumanity.
We give, with pleasure, the assertions of
the South. There is an easy way of settling
the question of good or i'll treatment on both
sides. The average of deaths of well men
will settle the question. Every other view
must be partial and one-sided,
The greatest crime of the war was the res
fusal to exchange. History will put that
where it belongs. General Butler, in his
speech at Lowell, disclosed the fact.

The Conspiracy Trial.

The conspiracy trial which has been going
on ut Washington for several weeks, is ended
OF those on trial before this mock tribunal,
David e. Herold, Lewis Payne, Geo. A. At
cert and Mary L. Suratt, had the sentence
OF this court announced to them on Thurs
aay last and on Friday were executed.
DR.. Mudd, Samuel Arnold and O'Laughlin
were sentenced to solitary confinement and
hard labor during life. Spsngler was sen
tenced to the penitentiary for six years.
Contrary to the expe Citations of all right
thinking unprejudiced men, President
johnson gave the sanction of his approval to
che bloody decrees of this illegal and infa-
NOUS star chamber tribunal. That some of
these charged with completely in the murder
Of the late president, were guilty, admits of
bat little doubt. That they would have
been convicted and punished by the recog-
niscd lawful courts of the country, bad they
been 90 tried, is quite as certain.
The country would then have heen spared
the eternal disgrace which will attach to it.
for resort to this illegal and extraordin ary
tribunal for tho punishment of crime. When
the passions and prejudices of our people
shAll have subsidized, they will look back with
shame and regret upon SO disgraceful a pr
ceedine. Disinterested men, everywhere, it
will find 1t difficult to account for resort to
u on any other hypothesis than that of
venge. The real murderer, and perhaps the
only one that could have been hung by any
Of the forms of law, had already suffered
lingering death, and ignominious burial
others,if guilty at al, could onlyIin any lawful
way be punished by the dungeon. This it
sesma would not satisfy the clamor for blood,
Hence resort to this military star chamber
court, which would and did disregard all the
we'll settled rules of law and evidence, and
render . verdict not according to either. but
such 90 would 50 atisfy those fanatics, who
wished to defy the late president. In the
eye of the law the killing of Abraham Lin
colin, was no graver offense than the killing
Otshe humblest man that lives in the land
True, the consequences might be far different;
but to these, justice, who holds her scAles
evenly, 10 blind. We are glad to know that
thia illegal tribunal and its despotic AID
bloody DEGREES, will not pass into history
without the earnest and solemn protest of al
least portion of the people,

Brother Newell either knows that this ID
not so, or he he knows nothing about it. II
he did kn' W, why then / need not character
re the act ncr the partisan motive that led
tnit. IF nc id not, then this circumstance
affords but another illus tration of the impro-
priety of Ministers of Gods Gospel going
outside of their calling to meddle with SUBJ
jects with which they are not acquainted.
The law upon this subject is to be found
in the LIST article, End section of the Consti-
tuition of the U. S., in reference TO the ratio
of Congressional representation, "whlch
shall be determined by adding to the whole
number of free persons, including those
"bound to service for term Of years, and
"excudihg Indians not taxed, three fifths of
call other persons"
This extract from the Constitution Is all
the authority that can be produced for the
monstrous assertion so often repeated by a
certai class f politicians and political
preachers that each slave owner is entitled
to give three votes for every five negroes be-
longing to him: 1t simply provides that in
counting the population, with view to de-
termine the number of members of Congress
to which each State is entitled, five negroes
whose term of service is not limited to q
term of years. shall count but three-thus
allowing to the so called slave states fewer
Representatives in Congress than they wo'd
De entitled to if the entire population was
counted as in the Northern States.
To illustrate something, I am unable TO
say what, the Rev'd orator repeated bis
we'll worn story about Rebecca and the
Bear, the point of which was not SO clear as
it might have been. Assuming the rebellion
to have been the Bear, surely tho speaker
could not have intended to make Rebecca
represent himself; for Rebecca killed the
Bear, while the Rev. speaker looked on
He doubtless intended, therefore, ihst Rsbec,
ca husband should illustrate his position in
this Bear business, for Rebecca's husband
looked on-so did Brother Newell.

Abolition Promises,

While the war was going on il was FREE
queutly announced in their papers, that the
civil offices of honor and profit such as clerk
chips assistant assessors and collectors Of the
revenue &c. would be given to the wounded
and disabled veterans on their return. And
that In order to do this act of justice and
charity to them, all the "home guard" and
esay-at home patriots who were occupying
those positions would resign, or if not, would
be removed.
We have watched and waited, long, aud in
vain, for the ful6lment of this promise The
supposition, that those making it, were sin
cere, If ever entertained by US, has entirely
faded from our MUD.
We now have in this County and district,
hundreds Of returned veterans soldiers, ma

ted i'm the field, have been rendered unfit for
labor, by which to secure a home for then.
selves or families. Scores of such could be
readily found, who are folly competent to
perform all the duties of clerks, deputy asses
ors. collectors &c. In no case, to our knowl-
edge, has one Of them been appointed to any
ofthese positions. The blatant "bloo dhound
ofzion," B. B. Emory, who has not get smelt

according to his own theory, he has "a right
smart chance" of smelling little hereafter)
occupies $1,000, clerkship at Washington n.

stone and saltpetre as comp ounded by Du-

sympathetic hearts yearBed to do them jn>-

Tt now turns out that these professions and

made them. They nerer intended to dis
