The late cashier of the Philadelphia
Custom House having embzzeled ever
$50, 900 of the funds and decamped, Col
lector VIM. B. Thomas has paid the
amount out of his private fortune, so
that the Government loses nothing. Mr..
Thomas says he cannot see that he is
bound, either in law or in equity, to
make good the defalcatiOn of his subOr-
dnate, but that he "has been prompted
to make payment by an anxious desire
that tho present Administration-with
the good name of which his own is to
some extent identified-should not be
chargeable Gin consequences OF any cir
cumstance which may have occurred in
the department consigned to his care
with having lost or squandered the
public money"

il war, which imperils the life of the Republic,
ard if Foote is a dangerous person, we hold
this arbitrary banishment to be justifabies if
not, not. IF every rebel force this side of the
Mississippi is captured or disbanded, and trade
with the late rebel districts re-opened as though
they were at peace with us, and if Foote is no
longer an enemy of the Union, but ready to
deport himself henceforth as loyal, peaceful
citizen, then we hold that there is not COW in
our State which our Government has less rea-
son to regard with apprehension and alarra
than this old man. Itmight possibly be worth
while TO try and punish him, though we think
not but whatgood can be secured, what evil
averted, by compelling him to live in Canada
rather than in New York And, if his BAN
ishment be in no sense a necessity, is not
clearly an act of tyranny?
Of course, It can be sort o justified, or bluse
tered over. and those who disapprove it charg-
ed with sympathy with traitors; but how will
il look across an ocean or an interval Of ten
years The New York Times will turn back
summersauit, if required, and protest that arr
generous or manly sentiment expressed through
its editorial columns erept into them by acci-
dent; the Union League viii resolve, II duly
prompted, that this banishment adds another to
the innumcrable proofs Of the superhuman
wisdom and energy that irradate the War De-
partnient, and Capt Marshall will make
speech to the Chamber o. Commerce, showing
thai Jack Cades month was the perfection OF
all possible parliaments; but all these do ndt
constitute public opinion, nor even indicate it.
On the contrary, We venture to assure Mr.. new
President that the American people, having
now given fair trial to the Stantonian and
republican forms of Government respectively,
do greatly prefer the latter, and desire return
to it al the earliest possible day-which they
believe TO be this day. If we are still at war,
and our Government in peril, the orders that
have recently been issued re-opening trade and
reducing cur ornaments ought to be counter
manded or forborne but if the war IS virtually
ended, the rebellion discounted and the nation
saved, then we insist tina; the regime under
which district provost-narshal ranks the Gov
ernor Of a State ought at once to pass away,
the privilege Of habeas corpus be restored, and
the reign Of law and liberty be re-established.

Louis Philippe or Napoleon Ill, we cannot re-
member that single one was ever handed over
to military justice. Shall we, at this late day,
renew bad example so happily abandoned?
How dangerous it is as a precedent we need not
say, for that view Of it is so obvious as TO sug-
gest itself to every mind. IF we may try Her
old, Payne, and their confederatcs by military
courts, how long will it be before we shah un-
dertake to try otter less atrocious offenders in
the same irregular way How long yrill it be
before the established judicial system is set aside
for now-fangled and irresponsible methods! Let
the people think of this, and let them, through
the journals, protest against the abuse.

The StantOn1an GoVernmen7
Horace Greedy on Civil Liberty,
Are we Still At War?

Henry S. Foote was, fifteen years ago, a
United States Senator from Mississippi and dis
tinguished himself by his support Oi the Com
promise measures Of 1850, in opposition tC his
colleague, jeff. Davis, who opposed them in
behalf of Southern Rights" At the ensuing
State Election, these two Senators were pitted
against each other as ''Union" and Estate
Rights" candidates respectively for Governor,
and Foote beat Davis over 200 votes in the
largest poll ever had in the State; the vote
standing Foote, %, 738; Davis, q, ,729. Foote
removed, on his return to private hte, to Mem
phis, Tennessee, where he stood out for the I'm
ion until the Secession tide ran mountain hgh
when he like John Bell and too many others,
succumbed to it, and became a SccesSlonlst.
As such, he was sent to the Rebel Senate, where
his inveterate antagonism to Jeff Davis was so
manifested that he probably did the Rebellion
more harm there than he could have done by
adhering to the Union. Finally, becoming sat
isiied that the Rebellion was failure, he aban-
doned it in disgust, ard was making his way to
the Union lines. when he was arrested and ta-
ken back 10 Richmond. His second attempt
was more successful and he reached Washing
ton, but, not being ready to take the oath OF
allegiance, he was required to leave the coun-
try. He went TO England bat soon returned
to this port, where he was arrested and keptfor
some time in jail. On the urgent representa-
ton Of friends, he was at length released on
parole, being required to report himself to Gen.
Dix each alternate day. He SO reported him
self one day last week, when be was shown an
order from the War Department that he should
either stand trial for treason or quit the country
at once. He chose TO go, and departed for
Canada, where we presume he still is.

SECRET MILITARY TRIBUNALS.

The attempts Of Mr. Stanton to set aside the
courts of law for the trial Of offences and to sub
stitute secret military tribunals are not receiv-
ing that quiet Difference he possibly hoped for
from the public. The most strenuous suppor-
tiers of the Republican party are loud in their
condemnation of this as arbitrary and unwar
rantable by any law or precedent in the history
of the Government. The people know what
courts and juries are, and submit to their de-
cisions with respect, because they see all the
machinery and processes by which a decision
is reached, and know that condemnation comes.
only from the preponderance Of testimony upon q
iurys mind. Military courts they know nothings
about, nor are they permitted to know, for every
thing is done In secret and only their judgments
are announced This outrages every mans
sense Of justice, and creates q suspicion against
the fairness Of the proceedings, which weakens
the reverence which ought to be popularity fell
for tribunals that nave the power Of deciding
upon the life and liberty of The citizens. The
war which tbiscountry has sosuccessfuliy waged
was a var for freedom and the rights OF human
ity. The people do not wish to see it end with
their liberties in dagger. Nothing more eudan-
gers them than this subversion Of jury trials
and the substitution Of secret military courts
sitting in Judgment upon The lives and personal
freedom of The citizens. if there is anything
the people regard as sacred, and the best secur-
ity for their rights, it is the institutions of JUS
tice--an open trial by jury of their country
men. Closed doors and secret Investigations,
with life and liberty at stake, look too much
like the days Of the inquistion ever to be toler-
ated as part of the administration of justice
in free land. Mr. Stanton greatly mistakes

Provisional Governor of Texas.

geg@Gen. A. j, Hamilton, Provisional
Governor of Texas, delivered IN address at
Galveston on the evening Of the I'D, of
which the Telegraph has tie following syn.
opsis
There wa5 an immense gathering. The
Governor spoke about one hour and " quar-
ter lie stated that in 1861 he found reyo-
luton in cmbryo---a disposition to resist
United States authority. He then urged
the people to pause before they took the
step but hey were mad ---madc so by their
leaders, lying press, lying political teach
ers and preachers, and would not listen to
him when he attempted TO raise his voice in
this city He could not get q hall TO speak
in, and was obliged to resort TO the market
place.
The Governor reviewed the doctrine of
secession and State rights in most mas
terly manner He claimed that the people
of the South brought this war upon 81 en-
selves, who seized three millions Of Gov
ernmcnt property at San Antonio, who
seized the treasure in the U. 5. mint IN
New Orleans, who fired the first gun, who
insultcd the old flng q thousand times before
the U. S. fired gun in its defence; and yet
u
war was forced upon her, and ask to be let
alone, like the robber who avows his inten-
ton TO sever your juggler and pick your
pocket and then begs that you will let him
alone while he is doing this. The
people had tccn misled the doctrine Of
State rights had become deeply seated 1t
was pernicious doctrine, &c. As this
speech will be published in full, will not
give further particulars at present, other
than to say that the Governor concluded BY
saying:
