The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati GaSette writing the 2lst ult

assassinatiens are concerned, little is
needed. The President is constantly
surrounded by armed men; an officer from
the War Department, with loaded Der

knife in his belt, is on duty with him

EMIaRArIoN mo- MEXICO.

New York, May 9-The Herald says
the excitement in regard to the Mexican
emigration movement is extending in this
city and throughout the country. An Of
fee where persons desirous of joining the
expedition by registering their names
was opened in this city yesterday, and
was crowded all day. Most of the vol
unteers in the movement are veteran SOL
diers, who have served in the armies OF
the Union for the past four years. Com
mon emigrants, it is understood ARE guar
anteed $1,000 and 500 acres of land
Bounties to those receiving commissions
as officers will of course be much larger
It is reported that the Mexican RepubH-
can General 0rtega is at the head of the
enterprise, and thatal the emigrants will
go fully supplied with weapons; but such
arrangements have been made as to allow
of this without a breach of international
neutrality.

Individual Liberty.

liberty which was before the pride and
the boast Of every American citizen, has
been exercised only at the sufferanoe Of
the Executive authorities at Washington.
It is true, perhaps, that only few thou
sands have been arrested and Bastiled, in
violation of the law; but the acquies-
cence Of the people in these, warrant tens
Of thousands more, whenever the aims Of
certain Abolition leaders require them.
The right of certain officials to dungeon
any man, at any time, without process oi
law, is, now, scarcely questioned The
American people are almost " educated
up TO acknowledging these officials ss
above all laws or constitutions. Courts
and judges are for those who are not OBJ
noxious TO our rulers; for those who are,
we have Imprisonment without trial, or q
mere farce before military courts {" or
ganized to convict"
IF any simple-minded persons have be-
heved that our rulers would voluntarily
Selinquish this extraordinary and conve-
nient power, at the close of the war, they
need aot long be deluded Military me-
eessity furnished the excuse for its intro
duction, and precedents will be made to
silence objections to its perpetuation.
Not military necessity, but the fanati-
cal intolerant and radical principles Of
the Abolition party produced arbitrary
arrests. They are the natural offspring
of that party, and the intoierance which
begot them merely made military neces-
sity pretext to excuse outrage.
The war has now ceased; but arbitrary
arrests and seizures continue without
abatement. Military necessity can no
longer be pleaded in justification; but,
unhappily. excuses are no longer needed.
Within a few weeks a number of seiz-
ures have been made, by order Of Secre-
tary Stanton, which were unmitigated out

clearly in violation Of law as is highway

much to offer an excuse. He knows that
an obsequious Congress has placed him

has acquiesced in the act of Congress. )
We can allremember that few years

EVIDENCE AGAINST JEFF. DAyIs--JoHN
sTDNs SURRENDER.


New YoRK, MAY 9.-The Herald S
special says: The evidence in possession
of Government of the completely of JEFF.
Davis and his principal associates is such
that no foreign Government will hesitate
a moment in giving them up. President
Johnson's proclamation for their arrests
has been sent throughout the South over
rebel telegraph lines E
There was another long Cabinet session
to-day on the subject of throwing open
the South to unrestricted trade.
The Herald's North Carolina cores
pondence says: When negotiations for
Johnston's surrender commenced he had
about $4,000 troops, but of these not
more than 80, 200 waited to be paroled,so
anxious were they to get out of the army
and returR home. They stole all the
horses they could from their officers, and
struck off across the country, engaged in
indiscriminate plundering. zen. John
ston admitted he had no control over
them. BE spoke very bitterly of Davis,
attribnting all the rebel failures to his
administrative. bungling. He considers
South Carolina the worst whipped State
in the Union.

1T is rather amusing says the Wheel
ing Registes to see with what haste those
journals which so precipitately assailed
Gen. Sherman, denouncing him as a
:" traitor" and a g madman,n are recalling
their ill-judged denunciations We
would advise some of our intensely loyal
friends to ''go slow We have faint
recollection of how they assailed Mr..
Vice President Jehnsen about the 4th of
March last, aud how vehemently they
called upon him to resign for the good Of
the nation. Bus now they are disposed
to ,laud him to the skies, and pretend to
see the hand of Providence in the diabol-
ical deed of. the assassin by which Mr..
Lincoln was removed With some it
makes great difference whether man is
on foot or on horseback. When all the
facts are known in relation to the doings
of Gen. Sherman, he will stand before
the public justified and admired, not less
for the prudence and magnanimity of his
Istipulations with Johnston, than for his
splendid achievements in the field

The Cotton in the South.

There are said to be no less than four
millions of bales of cotton still in the
South awaiting chance to reach mar
ket. What pleasant prospect for our
country. Abroad We may look for a
balance of trade still kept in our favor,
and foreign exchange SO adjusted as to
prove no impediment in the way of our
resumption OF spesie Payments. Athome
We may lock for cheap muslins, cheap
prints, cheap sewing thread once more,
and general receding in wearing appa-
rel to the prices os the good old times.
OF course the fall in cotton will ruin
many speculator in Europe as well as
I in this country; but that is risk which
speculation always expects to run when
| it seeks to corner" on any of the neces-
saries of life, and make sudden fortune
off the public distress. ssThose who trade
on borrowed capital ought to break, >
said Andrew Jackson. That was little
| too radical; but those who prey upon the
popular want can expect no pity when
events happen to prey upon them. They
must blandly smile and sereuely endure
it.-Neo York Sunday Times.

Andy yOhnsosa says the Debt
nRust be paid.

We hear that Andy Johnson, who was
born poor, aud raised poor, and is yet Of
the people in his property and expecta-
tions, has given the order for Retreneh-
ment and Economy, aud declared that the
Nation Must go right to work to pay its
Debts Good
The National Debt has been ciphered
up, and the sum total is big one.-but
the American People is big one too.
On the 1st OF July next our Debt will
foot up in round numbers Thres Thou
sand Millions. We can pay it without
strain, without oppression. We can pay
it, and add to our wealth. But we have
got to practice economy, public aud pri-
vate. We have particularly to apply
economy and watchfulness to the Legis-
lation Of Congress, and to the admins
tration of the Departments and Bureaus
in Washington. The expenses of the
Government must be showed back rapidly
and in good Filth toward the old peace
footing of 1860 We may never again
get quite to that,-but let US get as near
to it as we can.
The ablest statists in the service of the
Treasury Department have been directed
to measure the wealth and resources of
the nation, and to calculate when it will
be possible for us to pay, and probable
:hat we will pay, that immense debt Of
Three Thousand Millions, They have
reported that the sbottom dollar of it
con be paid IN t,oentg gears from 1870 (!

The Effect OF Peace.

Already the effect of peace is begin
ming to be felt on the labor market. We
are told by men who employ large num-
Der of hands that applications for work
have been very frequent within the last
few weeks, and there is disposition In
those wanting work to take less wages
than has been demanded. As the work
of reducing the army increases this de-
mand for work will increase, in all
branches, until the old order of things is
brought about. 1t is estimated that
about 800, 600 men now in the army will
be mustered out within the next so days,
and that from 100000 to 100000 men
who have, directly and indirectly, obtain
ed living from their connection with
the army, must. within the next 80 days,
look to some other employment for liv-
ing. There is one thing in connection
with this new order of things that did not
exist before the war, and that is that men
who live now must have money, and those
who have no money must work. The
lold credit system has passed away-the
cash system is now in full force and vigoI
and men must pay for their bread and
butter in these days, or they don't get it
The want of labor, in many branche.
still continues pressing. In the farming g
districts especially there are openings for
as many as want employment but as the
j Government demand for produce viii be
stopped, the prices must decline. and the
wages must come down. A farmer told
us the other day that he could not afford
to hire hands at the present prices; tha
he would have to let some OF his lands
lie. idle, and only raise such acrop al
himself and family could work. But al
the effects Of peace are felt these things
Twill regulate themselves, and we vii
gradually work back into the old order
