Outrage by u Negro.

From the Macomb Qll.) Eagle May 9TH.
A negro named Jack, entered the house
of lady whose husband is in the army, on
last Sunday night, and attempted to com
NIT rape on the person of the lady. She
was wakened by the noise and demanded
who was there, The negro told her to keep
still or he would kill her. She then at.
tempted to give the alarm, when he seized
her by the throat. choking her considerably.
She then managed TO wake her little boy,
who Immediately gave the alarm, and the
negro left. Not satisfied with this attempt
he, an hour or two later, went to the house
of another lady, whose husband is also in
the army, and crawled in at the window
and attempted again to satiate his hellish
desires Fortunately at this house there
were two ladies occupying the same bed,
one of whom Immediately ran to the neigh
bors, and gave the alarm, who went to the
relief of the lady The negro made his es'
cape, but was tracked by Mr.. Newton, Mr.
Knapper, and Mr., Lea, to the livery stable
of Messrs. French Il Haggerty, where he
worked. He was arrested and committed
! to jail, and ON Tuesday was brought before
Justice Winthrow for trial, In default Of
bail, he was committed to Jail to await biz
final trial at the next term Of our Circui,

a Great Humbug EXplOded--The e
JEFF. Davis CrinOIine.

The New York Commercial, leading re-
publican organ, makes note of the fact that
the story about jeff. Davis Disgusting him
self in his wife's crinoline, is thoroughly ex
ploded. The editor adds
eve are now informed that he was dis
guiscd with his wife's shawl, which was
wrapped around his head, while water
proof cloak envelopcd his person. Even
the use of this disguise may have been mis-
represented, for Col Prichard says that he
did not see jeff in it, but was told so by
some of his men, and that Mrs Davis had
acknowledged that he wore the articles at
the moment Of his capture. 1t would be
interesting for the purpose of history, that
the true facts should be disclosed, and that
the public be no longer humbugged by idle
tales. "
This puts the laugh altogether against
those who, deceived by lies, have INDUCED
in squibs and jokes, that have no other
foundation. The jibe is at the ather end of
tho mouth, and in different direction.

Republican Estimate OCThOma n y
Jefferson,

We find the following in the Indianapolis
Jouynnl, the central Republican organ of
Indiana:
THE KNETUCKY AND VIRGINIA REsoLU-
"The miserable and demagogcal legisla-
tive productions, known as the Virginia and
Kentucky Resolutions Of 1898 and 1899,
after having brought infinite mischief to
the nation, are again paraded in the columns
Of the Sentinel as the true exposition of
State rights. These resolutions were de-
signed to answer temporary political pur-
pose and to affect the peculiar condition of
parties at that time, about which we know
little, and care less and the men compos-
ing the Legislatures by which they were
adopted, were not distinguished as being
wiser or better than the State legislative as
semblies of this day"
This is true genuine Republican respect
and reverence for the Fathers of the Ameri-
can Republic The author of the Virginia
and Kentucky Resolutions of 1898 were
| Thomas Jefferson and James Madison--one
of whom wrote the Declaration of Ameri.
can Independence, in l776, and the other
was the principal architect of the Federal
Constitutions These resolutions have the
same paternity, and are scarcely less sacred
than those immortal documents. Instead
of being designed for a temporary politica
purpose" they were intended as an author,
itative exposition, by those most familiar
with it, of the Constitution of the United
States. For sixty years, and until the Re
publican party came into power, they wert
the text of all Administrations-the truth o.
which no one was permitted to dispute.
When those resolutions were departed
from, we ceased to have republican form
of government The gist of these rosolu
tions was that the Federal Government was
compact between the States, to which eaci
State acceded as an integral body. That al
the powers Of the Union were delegated tC
it by the States. and that it could exercise
none but delegated powers; that when it die
exercise undelegated powers, its acts wer,
void and of no effect That when the Con
stitution was violated, it belonged to the
States, asparties having no common umpire
to be the judge of the manner and measure
of the redress That the Federal Govern
ment, being one Of delegated powers, could
not measure their extent, since that woult
make it's discretion, and not tho Constitu
ton, the measure of its powers. These arr

Military Court Outrage,

The military tribunal that was organ
lied to convict" Congressman HARMS, of
Maryland did so, on the testimony of gov
ernment spies, one Of which class swore,
the other day, in the conspiracy trial, at
Washington, that he considered il the duty
Of spy to lie for the government. The
tribanal sentenced Mr.. HARRIS to three
years imprisonment in the ponitentiary,
and forfeiture Of all political rights. To
say that the finding and sentence on the
testimony was gross outrage is but using
mild language to characterize it. President
JOHNSON remitted the sentence. If he
would abolish every military tribunal sitting
to try civilians in places where the Court,
are open and justice unobstructed, he would
aid in vindicating the American character
from the humiliation these military Courts
arc subjecting it to.

The Trial of jefferson Davis.

II will hereafter be q cause of constant
regret il the trial of Jefferson Davis shall
take place in the local court Of the District
Of Columbia. Chief Justice Chase's objec.
tion to having the indictment laid in his
circuit, il is easy to penetrate the reason of.
But since his political aspirations forbid
him to occupy his conspicuous and appro-
pirate place in great historic drama, as
Chief-J ustice Marshall did at the trial Of
Aaron Burr, one or another of the associ
ate justices might far better discharge the
duty which conflicts with the ambition of
their chief than the District of Columbia
court, which, whatever the ability of its
judges, has no prestige, no history, no ven
cradle associations, no national fame which
can determine nothing, decide nothing, con-
clude nothing, and must, after all its labors
are ended leave the great legal and consti-
tutional questions that will arise out of the
trial of Mr.. Davis in precisely the unsettled
state wherein they now rest, with no argu.
ment more convincing than a swords, and
no decision more conclusive than a battle
field $, pronounced in case which ought to
command the weightiest deliberations and
the most authoritative adjudications of the
highest tribunal in the land.
Mr.. johnson has indicated his purpose to
give MIR. Davis the benefit of the professioal
ability of Chas O'Connor, Esq, the recog-
nized leader of the American bar, is not
only recognition of Mr.. Davis right to
the benefit Of counsel, but magnanimous
assurance to him, and to all whom it may
concern, that the government deems its owr
dignity implicated in grudging him nothing
which he can challenge as his right, or claim
as his privilege.
We would still urge upon Mr.. johnson
the importance-fo it is not yet too late to
cause tranfer to be made--of having the
trial transferred to the Supreme Court. II
is not enough to insure the presence of pre-.
eminent ability at the bar. There should
be eminent learning and the highest author
ity presiding upon the bench, when Mr.
Davis comes to his trial N, Y World.

Rebel DOCum ents.

1t is said that Mr. Secretary STANTON
does not expect to be retained by the Presi
dent in the war Department, but that he
will make desperate efforts to remain sun
til he shall have examined the rebel achieves
and secured oblivion for his correspondence
with the rebel chiefs at the opening of the
rebellion, when he knew of their schemes
and was urging them on in their treason. -
The President should take the rebel ar
chives into his own keeping, that he may, if
he finds among them evidence of STAN
TONS treason, put him upon trial along
with jeff DAVIS

County Nominations.

The contest for nominations in this county,
which was long and excited, is at last ended,
and nearly all are glad that it is over with.
During the contest, much was said by the
friends Of contending candidates which
should uvt have beeu. This WIS u contest
for men; the election in October will be
contest for principle, and in it all personal
quarrels among Democrats should be for
gotten.
The great aim Of the Democratic party is
to overthrow those who have brought the
country to ruin, restore constitutional liberty
to the land, guarantee to the States their
ancient rights, open the doors ofthe prisons
that are now conining thousands of men
for no other offence than opposition to abo
lition despotism, and to make the fruitful
fields Of this Confederacy, united and happy
under Democratic rule, to grow rich in their
yield of golden grain instead of weeping
with the flow of fraternal blood. And in
this there should be no contention or strife
but that noble contention of who can best
work and best agree
Other nominations in the county have
been as excited az that just over, and all
gracefully submitted to the decision of the
majority and gave their support to the
nominees and went on adding strength to
the party until little Holmes has gained the
name Of being the most substantial Demo
cratic county in the Union, and it is to be
hoped that in the trying hour for the De-
mocracy and the country that we will all
maintain our integrity
Where there were SO many candidates, all
could not be nominated; where there was
so much diversity of opinion, all could not
have their choice. Many candidates, as well
as their friends, must be disappointed. In
dividually, we did not vote for all the candi-
dates nominated; but we willlaborjust as hard
for those who have been successful as we
would have done for any others, and this
would have been the case had the choice
fallen upon any of those announced for
there was none of them to whom any good
Democrat could not consistently yield n
cordial support
During the last five years, the Democrats
Of this county have compelled the suspen-
SION of the publication of the abolition press
and increased the majority from 500 to
1900, and now let us use up the remnantleft
Of that party and then lend helping hand
70 our distressed brethren of other counties.
We have had heavy family quarrel and
fought it out let us say no more about it at
present. Every year brings a nomination,
and when We have the privilege of a domes-
tic strife once year we can well afford to
have little season of peace

The Ca pture Of jeff. D;iyis--An-
other story.

The New Orleans Rcuyune, Union
ionrnal, of the 25th inst, has the following
article on the capture of Jefferson Davis. -
1t says
Several old citizens of New Orleans,
who have recently arrived in this city, give
a very different version of the alleged cap
ture of Jefferson Davis from that which
was telegraphed from the North. The
statement vouched for by these gentlemen
represents Mr. Davis as voluntarily surren-
dering himself, instead of being captured
in disguise. From the relation, it apdears
that Mr.. Davis was escorted from North
Carolina to Georgia by two brigades of cav
airy On arriving at the Georgia line, Mr..
Davis having received intelligence of the
surrender Of General Taylor, had his eaval-
ry escort drawn up in line, and after ad,
their dispersal to their homes. He iurthor
directed that small sum 70 gold, which he
had saved from the allowance made him by
the Congress, should be divided among the
mon. He then mounted his horse accom-
panied by five or six personal friends, pro
ceeded to Irvington, Georgia. No dis
guise or evasion was used by him lie
was everywhere know and recognized as inc
President of the Confederate States. On
his arrival at lrvinRton, Mr.. Davis wa
shown the Proclamation of President John
son, charging him with completely in tn,
assassination of Mr. Lincoln. Ae immedi
ately informed his friends that he shoulC
send to the nearest Federal commander ant
inform him of hir purpose to surrender ant
meet the charge which was made agains
, him. This was done, and detachment o
Gen Wilson command came to Irvington
and Mr. Davis and his aids surrendered t
them"
There is little or no doubt that the Who'll
story of the frock disguise is a story manu-
| factured for sensation purposes.

Foreign News.

The steamship City Of Washington, from
Liverpool, May "a, and Queenstown the
25th arrived in New York yesterday af-
ternoon with one days later advices.
The London O,cl says that "the question
of the Alabania' s depredations had reached
an unpleasant point, Great Britain having
refused indemnity, and the American re-
,joinder aluding to compulsion. This, as
an item of news is important, as showing
that serious difficulties may arise from u
conflict of interest between the two govern
ments, growing out of our sectional quarrel.
The Paris Moniteur confirms the revocation
of the order limiting the stay of Federal
ships in French ports, and says France has
also announced that she will hasten the re
moval of all other restrictions as soon as
the Washington Cabinet ceases TO exercise
exceptional rights, which, as beligerents,
it is enabled to claim toward neutral vessels.
The Moniteur states its belief that MIR.
johnson will follow the wise and friendly
policy of Mr.. Lincoln. Here, again, are in
dications of somewhat belligerent charac
ter on the part of France-at least dispo
sition to be somewhat capitous in the ad,
.justment of affairs, and establishment O.
friendly relations to depend upon conditions
which our government may not choose t
comply with. In making arrangements il
regard to the future, and is more than likel.
that the French Emperor will keep an ey'
upon his Mexican interests. Being dis
trustful of our willingness to abandon the
Monrone doctrine, and perhaps justly ap
prchensive that some of the soldiers of ou
armies may be enduced to lend helping
hand to the Republican cause, to the incon
venence of Macmillan, it is highly proba
bic that he will cease upon every plausibl
pretext for insisting upon terms favorabl
to his ambitious designs. In whatever h
may undertake, he will be sure of the CO
operation of the British government, it be
ing apparent that, having interests in com
mon, they will seek to aid each other in tn
execution of their purposes.
1t may be hoped that President johnson
in his endeavors to dispose of these delicat
complications, will adopt the old Jacksonia1
policy of asking for nothing that is no
clearly right, and submitting to nothing tina
is wrong Plain Dealer
