HEAVY DAMAGEs.-Some time last winter
one Edward Keogh, Milwaukee politician
of the Meas stamp, member of the State
Senate from Milwaukee, and correspon-
dent of the Chicago Times, sued
the editor of the Milwaukee WIS
eonsin, for libel, in having ill an edito'
rial article charged him with disloyalty and
a sympathizing with lrebels arhe trial came
off last week The editor of the Wisconsin,
proved the truth of his assertion, and the
fact that twas published for the public ben
eft and not from any personal Ill will Oh
malice The court charged the jury
that the words were libellous and that
therefore verdict of must be found for the
Plaintiff. The Jury after short consultation
brought in the verdict of % cents damages
and 25 cents cost for Plaintiff. A most
sensible and judicious Jury. If such mer
as Mr. Keogh, will, in time of war, when
the life Of the nation is at stake devote al
their talents to aiding and abetting the en-
envy as far as they can without endangerlng
their necks, they must expect to be told OF
it and held up to public scorn and execra
tion and they will not find a jury even OF
their own political faith, who will sustain
them in their disl oyalty

The Late Presidents Views on Negro Suf


The most important expression of Presi-
dent Lincoln's views on the question Of
negro suffrage has just been given to the
public in the following letter, which he
wrote to Gov. Hahn, of Louisiana:
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER
WASHINGTON, March 10, 1871.
Hon. NJ. Hahn:
My DEAR SIR:-I congratulate You on
having liked your name in history as the
first Free State Governor Of Louisiana. Ma.
you are about to have convention which.
among other things, will probably define
the elective franchise barely suggest for
your private consideration whether some Of
the colored people may not be let in, as for
instance the very intelligent, and especially
those who have fought CALAMITY in our ranks
They would probably help in some trying
time to come, to keep the jewel of liberty in
the family of freedom. But this is only
suggestion, not to the public, but to you
alone Truly yours,
A. LINCOLN.

An extensive conhagration occurred in
Quebec last Thursday. Full one hundred
and fifty houses were utterly destroyed
Champlain street on both sides being burnt
for distance of three quarters of mile.
Fortunately the flames could spread only in
two directions OF the loss would have been
Intimately greater. As it was everything
was swept away from the edge of the river
to the. rock behind, a space varing in width
from two to four hundred feet. This area
was closely packed with houses of every de-
scription, many of them tenement houses
containing several families
Several extensive. coal yards were on fire
and many wharves were injured or totally
destroyed.
We have seen no estimate of the loss, but
1t must hrve been very great, and many
families were left homeless.

Mr.. MoOuLLooH, the new Secretary of
the Treasury, in response to the officers of
the Treasury Department, thanked them
for the honor of their visit, and compli-
mented them for their fidelity to their du-
ties. In the course of his remarks he said !:
"My chief aim will of course be to pro-
vide means to discharge claims upon the
Treasury at the earliest day practicable,
and institute measures to bring the business
of the country gradually back to specie
basis, the departure from which, although
for time being necessary, is no less dam
aging to the people than to the govern
ment; but while it will be the main object
with me, I shall not be unmindful of the
Importance Of having the current business
of the department conducted with fidelity
and Dispatch" Commissioner LEWIS, on
behalf of the Treasury officers, rendered
their cordial congratulations in an appro.

Loyalty.

Hon. THOMAS DRUMMoND, Judge of the
United States Court for the Northern Dis
trict of Illinois, Republican who voted
for LINCOLN in 1860 and in 1864, was sum-
moned as witness for the defence of the
Chicago prisoners at Cincinnati, and in
response to questions put to him on be-
half of the prosecution, gave his definition
of loyalty, and illustrations, and comments
in connection Herewith:
! understand loyalty to consist in obedience
to the government and the law, and can only
repeat what said before, that if a man is con-
WINGED in his own mind that by war this coun-
try can never be nited,-if it is his honest
conviction,-he may be in favor of peace, and
still be loyal man. Supposing we were at
war with foreign nation, it would not be pre-
tended that man might not be for peace, and
yet be loyal man. If he was satisfied that
the continuance of the war would only add to
the expenditure of treasure and blood, and be
of no benefit to the country, he certainly could
be an advocate for peace, and still be loyal
man. So 1t may be, apprehend, in the case
of the rebellion, that, if man is satisfied in his
own mind that this country cannot be reunited
by war,-and perhaps there is no man who has
not, at some time during the past four years,
had doubts forced upon his mind, he may be
in favor of peace and yet be loyal man.

FoRNEY's Press, speaking of the In
auguration procession, says:
Rebel deserters, just from the front, were
not an unfrequent sight in the streets The
gray uniform mingled with the blue. A large
number of rebel prisoners under strong guard,
formed accidentally part of the great process
sion, giving to it somewhat of the character of
ROmnn pageant. when cdptire enemies added by
their misery to the triumph.
This was the first, and it is hoped it will
be the last, "Roman pageant " in this
country. Old ABE and drunken ANDY,
followed by their "captive enemies, would
be good subject for an artist. 1t would
contrast strongly with the Inauguration
ceremonies in the better days of the re-
public, when JEFFERSON, unattended by a
single guard, or even a servant, rode on
horseback to the capitol, dismounted with
out assistance, hitched the bride of the
horse to the fence, and went in to take the
oath of office, which he never violated

man pageants may hereafter suit the tenn

Hunter on Aiming Slaves.

Senator HUNTER of Virginia made a
speech on the 9TH inst. in the rebel Senate
against arming the slaves HUNTER says
he shall vote for the bill under the instruc-
tons of the Virginia Legislature, but that
it is in conflict with bis views, with public
policy, and with the interests of the con-
federacy. He says that it is an abandon
ment of the cause for which they made
war, and an abandonment of all hopes of
the confederacy. There is no point Of dis
pute now between them and the Yankees,
and the result will be abolition and negro
social equality. The speech caused great
commotion in Richmond and in the rebel
army.

DEAR STR regret, on account of dis
ability, cannot take part in the grand cele-
bration of tomorrow, as / sincerely re-
joice in our victories over the rebels, which,
with others impending, cannot fail soon to
bring back into the Union, on terms of perfect
equality in rights and duties, the outstanding
States Reciprocal respect and admiration
have already, by the dint of hard fighting, been
established between the gallant veterans of the
opposing armies and this noble sentiment
gives the hope that it may conquer the misera-
BILE hatred so general between non: combatants

would be the great conquest Of the day.

CATION. There can be no compromise that
Goes not involve surrender, not only of
s!avery,-that is too mean and contemnti-
pie TO be considered but the surrender of
honor, OF character, State and individual.
We would not see that blood-stained bat
ue nag lowered to the enemy for every
Niger that ever was owned. The point Of
interest is insignificant when compared
with principle, which is the point of honor.
Ihe institution of slavery and all the me-
groes from the Potomac to the Rio Grande
were cot worth the life of Stonewall Jack
son,-not OF the humblest private that has
Perisned in this war; but the principle of
tne right OF self-government is cheap at a
sacrlhce ten times greater than any we
nave made. Those who would compro-
mise with the enemy without saving the
polnt OF honor, would consent to enslave
themselves to free their own negroes.
Gen; Lee can protect that flag he has
SO well defended. Though he NAV not he
able to save the point Of interest he will
never yield the point of honor. The ena-
my require unconditional surrender not
only OF all negroes, but the TEARING mn of
our noble flag, the glorious emblem of onr
country, sacrifices and sufferings, which
would be confession of criminal rebellion
on our part. If mean enough to do this.
we deserve all the pains and penalties the
enemy has already provided for US.
There can be no compromise when one
party yields all. When the enemy evince
any desire for compromise, it will be time
to discuss the subject. Until that time
comes, we demand that the people will
light the FIGHT ont and thau Mill ;,
