and against the free Government which
they hated. because it was Republican
Government. They took the chances of
war. So far they are entitled to su-
perior consideration and respect as COM
pared with men Of like sentiment in the
North who entertained like opinions and
evinced their sentiments, during the pend
ency of the rebellion, by cowardly politi-
cal combinations in the free States. This
much all loyal citizens concede; and here
is now expressed the common Judgment
and feeling Of the patriots of the land.
Then, look at 1t. In Baltimore-late high
rendezvous Of the worst plug-uglies Of the
country-6ve secesh attornies, who had
perilled their lives for the Confederacy,
lose their standing at the bar, and are
forced from the professional associations
they once assumed. In Storey county,
there are dozen arrant Copperheads, Of
the vilest school, who have contributed
means to the out-6tting of pirates, and
who, by their speech, have lent all posi-
BILE influence from themselves for the revo-
lutionizing of society here to make this
the refuge home of rebels" gentlemen"
members of the bar of Storey county.
Who rises to move their expulsion from
the forum of justices They impudently
strut into the court chamber, and seek oc-
casion to make merry over their past inf
deity to the Government. There are men
this day examining witnesses and plead
ing the law in the Court House in Viz
ginia City, who last Summer said that
they were "as good rebels as any Of
them"-meaning the battling secesh Of the
South; who have declared, time and
again, as proved by numerous credible
witnesses (the proof on an undisputed
record) that "the Constitution [of the
United Statesl has gone to hell" who have
toasted JEFF. Davis with the hope that
"his name might be considered and per-
petuated in the same light as that of the
immortal Washington )" who have pointed
young men to the American flag and ex-
claimed, THAT'S an old woman's rag,
and ought to be pulled down." who have
repeatedly declared in public that Lincoln
was "a usurper and tyrant, now the
arbiter of others fate, and lit was hoped
soon to be a suppiant for his own"
All this, as we have stated, ID
placed upon record, unquestioned record.
The evidence of nearly all this is in one Of
the books to be found in almost every
lawyers Office in Virginia-the Hardy
Impeachment Trial." How our commu-
nifty would be startled on reading of a
motion made tomorrow before Judge
Mesick or Judge Burbank to expel from
the Bar or strike from the roll the names
of FIVE disloyal attorneys of Virginia. Yet
such motion was made in once-riotous
Baltimore, and acted upon by the Judge.
And, as all the loyal people will say, these
ignominiously ousted attorneys from the
Baltimore Courts were filter subjects for
excusing regard than the five, or the
dozen, traitors who now flourish before
juries summoned ON special venires ct this
term of our own. Court. The law pre-
scribes the taking of an oath ofloyalty BY
Jurors; but that is politely waived on
every occasion. This must be in Difference
to the feelings Of counsel. Secesh petit
foggers grin as 1t is proposed to be passed
over by Union lawyers. In Baltimore,
jurors, witnesses and clients must take
strict oath of allegiance and make sworn
disclaimer of participation in act or SYM
patty with rebellion before they can ap-
pear in any of their respective characters
before the presiding officer of the tribunal
of justice. It is only few months since
we heard a citizen Of an adjacent county,
who assumes to be prominent as loyal
ist, declare that one great reason why his
mining company employed a certain boor-
ish attorney was because he was Cop
perhead and would have great influence,
on that account, with his kind on the
jury. The decision that all jurors must
be registered voters, would prove the
oath-allegiance Of jurymen, If the question
as to registration were always put; but it
is not. The New Orleans Bar have just
adopted q stringent set Of rules, which
test. practically, the loyalty, past as well
as present, of an applicant for admission.
1t is on this account chiefly, we under
stand, that certain lawyers of Virginia
did not emigrate to that point, but pro-
pose taking another Southern city for
their home, when, BY the blessing Of God,
they shall let these places know them no
more forever. The lawyer who proposes
making the motion for the expulsion Of
the traitors at our Courts shall receive our
approval and support, as we doubt not
he viii obtain the commentator Of the
vast majority of our citizens. o. 70 soar
