THE ABoLTIoNIsrs BEFORE THE PxoPIE.-The
abolition journals are just now defending Gar
rison and Company, the original instigators at
the North, as the seocssioniss were at the South,
of the troubles out of which grew the past four
years Of slaughter. 1t is said that al! these few
are in favor of clemency and forgiveness-that
they would pardon every one and punish none.
This Is oil very well for the abolitionisis. Be-
fore Robespierre got into power he was great
humanitarian. He also wac opposed TO taking
life, and would shed no blood at all. But when
he got into power his humanity soured, and he
and his associates established the most blood
thirsty tribunal ever known. II is the same
with these humanitarian abolltionists. They
are mild enough now; but, If once they get
the power, take care. Let the people remem-
Der not to put Robespierre in power.

FIRE DEPARTMENT MUDDLE.-The controversy
over the constitutionality of the new fire law is
placing our city in sad dilemma. Nor is
there any prospect of immediate relief The
friends of both sides are exciting their follow
ers with every indication that they will get up
two formidable factions, and continue the con-
test az Fernando Wood did on the Police
Commissioners. In the meantime our Fire
Department will be without any recognized
head, and all manner of outrages viii be COM
mittcd and the city left to the mercy of the
flames. -t4sts-s...ss.s
We are living IN an sSciting and revolution
airy period. A band of conspirators but few
months since attempted to burn the city and ac-
tually fired number of the principal hotels. We
do not know how soon the attempt may be re-
peated. 1t is therefore criminal for our authori-
ties to allow this. middle in the Fire Depart
ment TO continue. We do not know what
moment the city may be laid in ashes. In this
view 1t is absolutely necessary that Governor
Fenton should call on extra session Of the
Legislature at onoe. Every days delay b dan
geroua The Legislature should be Immediately
convened and the new fire law 80 amended
that there can be no chance for bubble about
its constitutionality. Failure TO do this may
cause sacrifice and loss Of property in this
city Of millions upon millions. The expenses
Of an extra session of the Legislature would be
but bagatellc 10 the loss that we are at any
moment liable to incur by the present unsettled
condition of the department. Win Governor

Ia ANDY JOHNSON A CoPPERHEAD?- Some Of
the copperhead papers are trying to claim
President johnson as one Of themselves. rBut
Andy johnson is not copperhead. He is a
war democrat of the Southern school, and was
elected az such. The war democrats Of the
country will unto in supporting him, and will
sweep all the present organizations, local and
otherwise, out of existence. Look out for the
great political revolution.

last four years. That President johnson in
these things will vindicatc the just claims Of
the country 1t is nc. questioned, but that, in
dealing separately with Francs and England
all those complications will be avoided likcly
to kindle the flames Of European war it is
not so certain. For the sake OF universal
peace, however, he is now in position to
initiate general and comprehensive adjustment
of American and European affairs, political and
commercial, in the simple proposition for a
general congress of nations.
The call for this congress might be extended
not only to all the independent States of Anne
RIGA and Of Europe, but to the leading nations
of Africa and Asia, SO as to embrace the whole
world in the framing of an authoritative law of
nations Paris would be the most eligible CAPT.
tai for the first session of this congress; but if
second should be found desirable, Washing
ton would be the proper place, in view of the
claims of this continent and this country to the
distinction. Through the deliberations of such
q congress not only might the Monroe doctrine
be established peaceably, and the public law
in reference to maritime, belligerent and neu-
trail rights, and the status Of instructions, but
the disputed boundaries of many States in both
hemispheres might be adjusted, and even the
Holy Father of Rome might be quietly pro-
vided permanent place Of refuge and the
worlds protection.
We do not want Canada, nor Mexico, nor
Cuba. Situated O. we are. in the heart Of the
temperate zone, and possessing the inexhausti-
BILE and varied resources Of great continent
looking out upon Asia, Europe and Africa and
the isles Of the sea, we have territory enough
for the comfortable maintenance Of three hum
dred millions Of people. We have sea room
enough, land enough, margin enough for a
thousand years. But II the governments shall
fail to meet and settle the questions we have
indicated, American public opinion IN some
way will enforce settlement regardless Of
the revolutionary consequences to England,
France and the other great Powers Of Europe
As q peace Offering to them, therefore, we
would earnestly invite the attention Of Presi-
dent johnson to the proposition of the congress
Of nations herein suggested, as The initial move
ment Of q foreign policy Commensurate with
the material and moral power, and the dignity
and manifest destiny Of the United States of
America.

WHAT LAW DO WE LIVE UNDER Are we
living under martial or civil law? Some OF
the orders promulgated at Washington would
seem to infer TINT martial law exists all over
the country. The laws of Congress, establish
ing martial law, were only applicable during
insurrection. This no longer exists, and there
is no poskble excuse for continuing i any
longer, except it may be in the South, where
there rs no State government to maintain civil
law and order. President johnson should call
the attention OF his Cabinet to this fact, and not
allow any of his secretaries to indulge in their
arbitrary acts. u osa az ~ I
There has been good deal said about the
seizure of photograph negatives of Mr.. Lincoln's
body lying in state at the City Hall. This was
an absurd assumption of power on the part of
the official ordering it, nor was there the slight
est necessity for such an act. If the photo
graphs were suppressed out of feeling for the
deceased, there is not the least doubt that
If the wishes of Mrs. Lincoln, or any other
member of the family, had been made known to
the artist, he would have at once destroyed
them. Now that the rebellion is over, the in
surrection suppressed, there is no possible
excuse for such despotic deeds. Will the Pre-
sidcnt see to his Cabinet ministers, and prevent
their ovcrstepping the bounds of proprietyf

begins to recognizes the military taleAt That the
war has developed on this side the water, and
10 rate our generals at their proper value, -
the ablest Of the age. The London Times con-
siders that they '.move with the rapidity and
attack with the promptness Of Napoleons mar
shals." This is the highest praise that Euro
pean journal knows how to give. In the utter
ance of a few final words over Lees army this
organ Of the rebel sentiment declares that the
final battle Of that army was fought as we'll as
any one in its history, and therefore it cannot
avoid tribute to the qualities Of those who
destroyed it. and it speaks of the unbounded
resources of the North and the energy and to-
nacty "of the great campaign against Rich
mond"
Grant, and the men picked out by Grant,
will receive eventually even fuller recog-
milton than this. History will have no grandcr
chapter than that which will relate the achieve
ments of General Grant The stories of Alex
anaer, of Cyrus, Cesar, Hannibal and Napoleon
Bonaparte will be dimmed by Its influence.
The story of the man who fought his first battle
in such way that the very fact OF battle,
even though he lost it, gained all that victory
could have given him; and who went on from
that commencement, through the grand career
that eliminates in the downfall Of the greatest
of rebellions, wiz be for centuries without q
parallel. Against Alexander we will cite
man who conquered continent held by half a
million soldiers Of the same race as his own;
against Hannibal, q general every one of whose
battles had direct influence on the result;
against Napoleon, q man who never made a
blunder, and against Cesar, one whose
thoughts always contemplated as supreme the
welfare and freedom Of bis country. And this
man, even IN such grand company, will still be
the supplemented, quiet, unassuming, modest
gentleman that every one recognizes in the
Lieutenant General of our armies.

TRIAL OF THE ASSASSINATION CONsPIRAToRs IN
OPEN CoURr.-We learn that the trial of the
conspirators at Washington is to be conducted
in open court This is right We could
not believe that the administration for mo-
ment thought Of adopting contrary course.
1t is charged, and generally accepted, that the
assassination conspiracy is extensive in its
ramifcations, and that there are a large num-
Der who will have to suffer the penalty on the
scaffold. If, under these circumstances, the
trial Vas conducted secretly, it would give an
opportunity to al maliciously inclined to assail
the government and arouse dangerous oppo-
sition by claiming that the evidence upon
which parties are convicted has been mlnufac-
tured in star-chamber. This opportunity
should never be offered. The trial should be
conducted openly, and the facts, as they are
given by The witnesses, allowed 70 go before
the public. Truth never suffers by contact with
light, but on the contrary, streasthens the arm
of justice with every step. The government
is wise in abandoning all idea of secret trial.
star-chamber inqaisltions belong to the dark
ages, and not to this enlightened period of the
nineteenth century.

is a Sure Cure for the Disease.
Experience ha- proved that Catarrh cannot be
cured by local treatment alone; hence the many
advertised cures Tor Catarrh, all of which local
remedies, give relief only while the patient is u.s.
ing them, but never cure.
Understanding the disease, aad9we know it can
not be cured by local treatment alone, therefore,
we also prescribe a constitutional remedy to be
taken, and by the combined local and constitution
al treatment, enabled to remove the cause
of Catarrh, and thereby effect
PERMANENT CURE.
Their consultations for years have averaged from
five to seven thousand year, which gives them an
experience unsurpassed by any, and equalled on
ly by few.
Va Remember they do not promise to cure all
stages of disease. While all diseases durable
if taken in season, all stages not. Your case
may be curable this week, Rot next-to-day, moi
tomorrow; hence the danger OF delay.
No Case ,oiH be Received ,ohen there are ans

Our terms are cash hence the money must be
sent with all orders for medicines. 1t costs from
