PROPOSED ARREST OF WESTERN
D1s&<OkAL EDI FOES,
s. Rrfckss Pomeroy and Ills Master
Receiving Serious Consideration

NEK YonK, May 8, 1865.
The New York 7fbune's Washington spe;
ctal has the following: !" The President has
been strongly urged, by Prominent gentlemen
mere, to subject to arrest aud trial such men
as " Brick" Poneroy Of the Il Crosse Wis
cnnsfn} Democrat, ard tie editor Of the Chi
cage Times, who, durtpg the past year, have
publicly advised and excited the q assassination
Of Nj. 1tucoln. The SUBJECTS receiving se-
Iious consd .ration."
We presume the following extracts from
the columns Of those reasonable sheets
constitute part Of the matter which IL
receiving serious consideration.
On the LIST Of July LAST, the Chicago orgau
OF treason, urged the assassination Of Abra.
ham Lincoln, In these words:
"AE COULD NOT BE MORE WORTH.
LESS 81 DEAD THAI THAN HE Is LIVING. BUT
:. WOULD Be INFIEI TELY LESS AfISCHE-
:. AS It WOULD BE in IT5 FREsHE5 r r
"STATE AND RICHEST AM MnsT +

Three days afterwards, July 9TH, On the day
when the loyal portion of the American
people we're celebrating cur national tude.
pencence, the same sheet, In an article de-
piecatlng the Observance Of the day on &C.
count Of the war, again recommended the
assassination Of Lincoln In the following Ian
guagc;
"Iet the people clothe themselves In ssckc,olh
- and fprlnk1e a.hes on their bead. Ii beseems
ato put the stmslance OF mourning deeply on

Pe1ceiring that the above conld bo said
with impunity, and that no arrest or Punish
ment followed, Brick Pometoy-who Is
disciple Of the Chicago treason organ--con-
cluded that 1t would be perfectly safe for him
to talk in this strain:
MURDER OF LINCOLN ADVISED.
The Lacrosse Democrat of August %, 1864,
closes an article in these words:
The man who votes for Lincoln now il q
traitor. Linco|H u q traitor nnd nsu1skrtY. He
Who. pretending to war for, wars agatnst the
Constitution OF our country, is tra:tor, and
Lincoln ia one Of those men. Hs who calls

POLITICAL JOUKNAL1sU
II It ls essential to political journalism that
a newspaper shall ret up some politician o.
clique as the predcstincd idol of it's serSils
worahip, whose acts 1t must applaud whether
wise or otherwise, then the Chicago TRIBUNE
his never bcen partizau journal, and unless
It sinks into the bands Of men OF very du
fcrent views from those oflta present conduc.
tors, It will never be. There is 10 wcr order
Of mind, which, being unable to comprehend
q principle, must pin its faith to the skirts oi
I. some individual snan. We do not belong to
that strata We believe In principles; and in
men only 90 far as they wisely comprehe end
and adapt themselves to those principles.
.The support of a journal whose pole
: star Ia principle, duty, right, is valua-
bic to any man or party. The support
e-of a journal which writes up a man
or party right or wrong, and 50 announces in
<advance. is worthless to ans man or party.
It Is mere echo Of sound, the =" shadow Of
"a ehade." It has been our pleasure while
. conducting public journal to know that
the leading statesmen OF this country, cspcc.
daily during the past four years have appfc-
=. ciated our views and representations On be-
VAL u Tue People y! 1oe northwest, both
On local and general questions, the more
highly from the fact that they well knew that
we were the Interpreters Of no one man or

.The.Murder near Charlottesville.

From the Richmond Times, of the 9th, we
gather the particulars of a murder, near Char
louisville, Va, "most foul" though not ''unat-
ural" a respectable citizen by the name of
Heiskell was, as it turns out uniustly slIspec-
ted of stealing horses in Richmond. Orders were
sent from Richmond to Charlottesville, for his
arrest. \ lieutenant, with squad of men,
were sent to bring him in. They arrived at
his house at | o'clock at night and were rcfus-
ed admittancs A ladder stood against the
porch, which the lieutenant mounted, and got
to the top Of the porch, where he was met by
DIR. Garrett Martin brother-in-law of Mr.
Heiskel. The lieutenant drew pistol and
shot him in the head, killing him instantly.
Mr. Heiskell rushed into the porch and was
shot in the hand. Heiired the balance of his
loads into the house and left. He was after
wards arrested, and is now in prison and in
irons in Richmond He is said to have been
drunk.

The Water questionable. A..

We are told, Mr. Editor, by those who are
conversant with the action of juniper or swamp
water upon the iron work about canal gates,
that it is exceedingly dieterlous to the iron
substance with which it comes in contact
The hinges of canal gates are very thick and
heavy, and are reported to last only about ten
years when in contact with this precious

1t is certain, Mr. Editor, that there would
be numerous salaries to pay connected with
the water company, and sem-annual interest
on the bonds proposed to be issued while the
works themselves would be lingering along to-
wards completion during the progress of time

would pocket Che salaries, we would hereafter

n The advocates for this premature birth Of a
costly child, tell us that the city of Norfolk
would supply the shipping with water, and
thus make large profit. Now we tell them
that this business would not be monopoly in
our hands. The city of Portsmouth would
follow our suit and not having large rivers to
cross with her works could build them cheaper
than we, and under-bd us in all such supplies.
1t would result in our having to throw in
brandy to boot, and then getting the job for
almost nothing
Mr.. Editor, we are panied to say that never
before have we known any such question
brought before any community under such a
log of generalites. We are asked to vote a

upon what plan or upon whose plan. No
body seems to know what stream or reservoir
would be tapped what character of aqueduct
would be constructed; or what the different
items of expense would be- We hear simply
a bawling for water, water, as if the city were
on fire, and the engines were sucked We say to
the voters, put on your spectaces and scan the
documents Scotland is not burning yet, and
Ireland can always be found.

Whites Life of Shakespeare.

We of the South for the last four years,
world, that we have known but little of what
was going on, particularly in the walks Of
literature. The Boston C6arjer informs lis OF
the publication OF a life of Shakespeare by
Mr.. White, and says, it is designed as an ac-
compartment to its authors edition of Shaks-
peares WORKS and declares it is not only the
mense mass of criticism and conjecture which
has Shakespeare for its object. Mr.. White
says
Eve do not know positively the date OF
Shakespeare's birth or the house in which he
first saw the light Or single act of his life
from the day of his baptism to the month OF
his obscure and suspicious marriage. We are
equally ignorant of the date of that event, and
of all else that befell him from its occurrence
until we find him in London, and when he
went there we are not sure, or when he finally
returned to Stratford That he wrote the
plays which bear his name we know: but ex-
cept by inference we do not know the years
III which they We're written, or even that in
d.
We do not know that he laid his father OF Iii,
mother inthe grave, or stood by the dying bed
side Of his only son, or that he gave the sane
ton of his presence to the marriage of his best
loved daughter. Hardly a word that he spoke
has reached us, and not a familiar line from
his hand or, the record Of one interview at
which he was present.
With all his genius, Shakespeare accord

aud was anxious, after they had served his
temporary purposes, chiefly to forge them
and do nothing to cause others to remcmhc
them, in Difference to the Puritanical PREM
dces which began to prevail so widely to-

the unmatched genius was chiefly anxious to
become respectable and substantial citizen
Of his native place All his unequallol pro-
auctions were written solely with reference t,
this end Never We're so much genius and
thrift combined. Mr. White thinks that if he
had lived in our days he would have been

ect was to make money Verify Shakes
peares example is a good warrant for the
materialism OF the present age. 1t is pleas
ant to know that Shakespeare succeeded in
his very practical aim He died at 81, with
an income Of two thousand pounds sterling
per annum the fruits of his London career as
an actor and dramatist, or rather a sum Of
money equivalent to $4,000 in these days.
Messrs Little & Brown have embodied Mr.
Whites production in a shape worthy of it.
