Orr Mexican Policy

The following order has been issued
by General Mcdowell, commanding
the department of the Pacific, and may
be taken as an expression of the policy
of our government in relation to Mexican
affairs. 1t would be difficult, even with
a powerful microscope, to detect the
Monroe Doctrine in the strict "neutrali-

take the necessary measures to preserve
the neutrality of the United States with

to pass the frontier from the Upited
States, or suffer no arms or munitions of
war to be sent over the frontier to either

General Pope Again.

General BANKS is trying to shift upon
other shoulders the odium of his military
failures. He blames Admiral PORTER for
the Red River disaster, and now says
that General POPE is responsible for the
failures of his (BANKs',) Shenandoah
campaign in the summer of 90 There
is question of veracity between BANKS
on one side and POPE OH the othel, and,
Judging from PoPEs autecedents, BANKS
has rather the inside track However,
Pope has enough blunders of his own to
atone for without having to bear the
heavy burden of BANKS incapacity.

Important Decisions.

The Second Comptroller has decided
that soldiers transferred to the Veteran
Reserve Corps, and subsequently muster
ed out by reason of the close of the war,
are entitled to the balance of the bounty,
the same as though they had remained
with their regiments, the fact of their
being transferred to the Veteran Reserve
Corps and discharged from that organi,
zation not affecting their right to the
bounty TO which they were entitled nm
der their enlistment
In the case of representative substi-
tute for a person not liable TO draft, it
has been decided that the former is emit,
tied TO the same bounty as other recruits
enlisted for the same time and like pc,

The Charleston Courier, in an editorial on
Northern aid for the Souths says:

The Charleston Courier, in an editorial on
Northern aid for the South, says:
1t appears by the Northern press that sew
eral organizations have been formed in the
North with view Of extending aid TO the
South We are informed that one society
has spent twenty-five thousand dollars, and
another has a good prospect of raising hum
dred thousand dollars TO carry out the pro-
posed plan. Now, while we appreciate the
motives Of the contributors to such fund,
we would like the privilege of saying that
no real, lasting public benefit can be secured
TO our people 80 long az an indncement Is
held out TO a certain class TO abstain from
labor. 1t is true the South needs money 10
enable her to recover from the terrible pros
tration brought on by the war, but if the
money cannot be dispensed TO the advantage
and good Of the South, il would be better TO
withhold it altogether. What the South re-
quires is the cultivation Of her rice and cot
ton fields, the establishing on her river banks
of manufactures, and the means and men 10
give an impetus TO every branch of mechan-
ical industry. Richmond affords an excel
lent example Of the best means to aid the
South. All over the burnt district of that
city buildings are springing up with rapid
lty that astonlshes the residents themselves,
while the trade and commerce with other
ports are increasing to remarkable extent.
All this is because Northern capitalists are
working in the right direction. They lay
out their money to some purpose. Instead
of forming themselves into societies for the
relief Of able-bodied men whose duty it is
to provide for themselves, they take prac-
teal view Of the condition Of the South and
invest their money in an enterprise that will
b neft all. If Northern men would aid
Charleston letthem provide the means for
building up the burnt district. We want
dwellings; we want stores; we want ware
houses; in fact, extensive commercial facili-
ties. The moment the work Of rebuilding
the ruined part of Charleston is commenced,
that moment will the freedmen find employ
ment, aBd so place themselves beyond the
pale of charitable institutions. i.4

Jefferson Davis.

From the Louisville Journal.
President johnson is reported as saying in
regard 10 the case that he wishes TO have it
settled judicially what is treason and what
isn't IL is very natural and proper that he
should wish this, but 10 our minds il IL per-
fectly obvious, that, whatever the merits or
dement's of jeff Davis's case NAV be. there
cannot be the slightest chance of a decision
against him. When we consider how en-
tirely every commupityis divided in opinion
as TO him and his course Of conduct, and the
nature of the acis with which he is charged.
we do not see how any man can for mo-
ment doubt the utter impossbiility Of obtain
ing jury of twelve men in the common and
established mode of obtaining iuries. some
individual of which and even several will
not refuse 10 unite in a verdict of treason
against him. We ray again and again that
his conviction upon that charge by jury
got up in the ordinary way, is n thing wholly
out OF the question, and we may add, that, if
any extraordinary way be resorted 10 and n
conviction thus brought about, such convic-
ton can do no conceivable good, but must. on
the contrary, be deplored in its influence up-
ON the public mind and heart everywhere
North and South and over the ocean, We
do not see there is the least occasion or even
4.
IL the authorities at Washington wish the
question settled what is and what is not
treason, they surely err greatly in making
the conviction or non-conviction of Jeff
Davis by civil court the test, unless they
desire 10 have IL decided and established
that the leading of a rebellion against the
Union IS not treason. The inevitable nom
conviction would give great and perma-
nent underground to the votaries of Sc
cession and rebellion. Ii would be sounded
rs their triumph throughout the civilized
world. The true policy then, the undoubt-
cd policy, for President johnson 10 pursue
is TO pardon the rebel ex-President unles he
is to he tried upon some other charge or
charges than that Of treason-and 10 let the
treason question slide" His pardon would
create general feeling of satisfaction and
concord and harmony throughout the North.
n universal feeling of that kind throughout |
the South, and a sincere qualification and |
admiration throughout Europe. whereas Mr.. |
Davis's trial for treason would cause exas- /
pcration in millions Of minds. and result in |
the utter defeat of the Federal Government
and the triumph of its enemies everywhere
If these truths are not clearly evident 10
the controlling minds at Washington, we
earnestly trust that they will become so in
time TO prevent iniudicious and mischieyous
action. That President johnson would par
don JEFF. Davis If convicted of treason.
or at least commute the death penalty 10 |
some mildcr form Of punishment, we arc
not permitted TO doubt, but, as We have said.
JciL Duyis cannot be convicted of treason
by any jury that can be made up in the ma
ton, and the consequences of an attempt TO
convict him would lie evil, all evil, and
only evil.

Orr in his recent message says:
The exhausted condition of the country

ces require that debtors should be still fur

cast the existing law upon the subject and
provide that the creditor should have the

so that a lien upon his property may be Sc
cured; that the interest and part Of the

that the whole sum may be collected when
