The Refugees--Again.

This morning, just putting paper TO
press received the following letters from Gov. Nor
ton and Mr. j. II. Turner, in reply the charge made
by the Telegram" that the Gov responsible fer
the importation Of the batch of white trash, small
pox, humps. &C., noticed last week:
ExecHhge Department. Kadidnapolisl
March l, 1868.
Ed. ''RICHMoND, TFLEGRAM:"
Richmond, Ind.
SIR, / have been shown an article in
your paper, charging me with having
sent to Richmond from Indianapolis, a
number of Refugees" some of whom
have the small pox.
There is no foundation whatever for
this statement. 1 have never sent or
caused to be sent, refugee from In.
dianapolis to Richmond or any other
place. 1t is true however, that some
two or three weeks ago, Mr. Turner, an
officer of the Indiana Sanitary Commits
sion, called upon NE and requested me
TO furnish transportation to Richmond,
for number of refugees The request
was promptly refused. accompanied with
the statement, that the State transporta-
ton could not be used for that purpose,
and that | would not be instrumental in
sending them to any particular place
The enclosed letter of Mr. Turner, will
perhaps throw some light upon the sub
ject, and explain the manner in which
the refugees got to Richmond
As You have made the charge, I trust
You will do me the Justice to publish this,
together with Mr.. Turner's letter.
Very Respectfully,
O. P. MORTON.

Jeff. Davis Trial.

1t is reported by Washington paper that
the Government have decided to try JEFF. Da-
Wis before civil tribunal, and that Charles
O'Connor of New York, noted and able
Democratic politician Of the copperhead
persuasion, has offered his services in Davis
behalf and been accepted. That defence,
we presume, will rest upon the character Of
the prisoner as an acknowledged belligerent.
and therefore entitled to belligerens rights.
But we do not anticipate that the defence
upon that point can be made very formidable.
lf he L. tried in Washington, the precedent
in tho case Of the trial Of Burr in 1907, and
the ruling by Chief Justice Marshall, will
have greater bearing in the defence. That
defence will be that Davis was not present
at the attack upon Fort Stevens, as laid in
the indictment, and therefore the court can
have no jurisdiction in the case. Although
I.rd Coke says, elf many conspire to levy
war, anil some Of them do levy war, this is
high treason: for in treason all be principals
and war is levied" yet the Chief Justice de-
cidcd that the commander in executing, or
the instigator of, treason could not be legal
ly present, unless present in point Of fact /;
our Constitution, he argued, abrogating the
comm N law doctrine that in treason oil are
principals, by the provision as to treason.
This precedent will DO of interest, since it
will he remembered that Burr was acquitted
ou the ground Of lack Of jurisdiction on
the part Of the court, the indictment charg-
ing him with lcvying war on Blannerhassett's
Island, AMI the Court ruling that the indict
ment could only be supported by proving
that Burr was actually present with the as
ssmbly on the Island (which was not provcd);
or nv the admission Of the doctrine that he
who procures an act may be indicted as hav-
ing performed that act, which was decided
a. not applying to the United States.
In view of the decision Of Mr.. Marshall il
will he u question Of great moment Us to
where the trial shall take place.

Adoption Of the Amendment.

MR. BrrLxR As | understood the in
rtructions ~ the Administration relative to
the reconstruction Of rebel States, it was
made obligatory upon. such States to ratify
the Constitutional Amendment abolishing
slavery; hut on looking again at the Prcsi-
dents instructions to Provisional Governor
Holden. find that II is not made obligatory.
". therefore, the rebel States refuse to ratify
the Amendment, can II be adopted? BY
answering you will obligca SUBSCRIBER.
II our correspondent will read carefully
the instructions alluded to. he will find that
only those are allowed to vote who have tax.
en the oath Of allegiance. and the amnesty
oath {" prescribed in the proclamation Of
NV 18th. and that oath binds them to &C
qnicscc IN and support all acts Of Congress
and all proclamatious relative to slavery,
mads during the existence Of the war. which
wcconccive binds them to Immediately ratify
tn" Amendment relative to slavery.
IL this construction be so, there can be nc
question upon the adoption Of the Amend
ment. But if II is not so binding, we vel
sec no reason for its failure. The Constitu
ton provides that any proposed amendment
must bs ratified BY "three-fourths Of the sew
erai States" The question then solely turn
upon what constitutes q State within tn

vNew Orleans adviccs Of tho 9th state
that an important clue to tho cause of the
late disastrous explosion at Mobile Is thought
to have been obtained. A man named Hall
has been arrested at Mobile. charged with be-.
ing implicated. He states that he and two
other men on tho night previous to tho ex.
plosion placed torpedoes between the build.
ings containing powder that the work was
performed under the direction Of a rebel Maj.
or. who threatened them with instant death
IL they disobeycd or offered to resist. and
that the Major afterwards lighted tho fuse of
the shell connected with the internal arrange
ments. Torpedoes have also been discovered
in the rooms in the Custom House, 90 mr.
ranged as to explode on opening the doors !;
Others have been found concealed in desks Of
the same building.

THE UNION &c JOURNAL,
IN remember, is no. allowable ; Just as the

will remember, is not allowable; just rs the
decision Of this question-what constitutes
quorum Of both Houses sufficient to enact
lawsuit wrongly decided. will admit The
pra,ticability Of secession. For, II quorum,
like the former two-thirds. must be made
from thoss enrtied to o seat, and not from
those actually present as recognized members,
a sufficient number Of States may combine,
and by withdrawing their representatives
overthrow the government.
II is thus very evident that the Constitu-
ton could not contemplate such an exigency
and that the article must be interpreted to
mean "two-thirds," or "three-fourths," or a
"quorum" Of those States in practical rela.
tion wiih the general government. And this
has been the decision OF the three branches of
the government-the legislature, judicial and
e1ecutive-and twenty three states have
already adopted that decision; in fact, NIL
the states have adopted it by acknowledging
any acts Of Congress valid since tho with
drawal Of MEMBERSHIP the 'seceded" states
In none Of the rebel states is there q civil
government. True there is or was q civil
government opposed to the national govern.
ment, but when the rebellion which caused
that civil organization and supported it, was
suppressed. the people Of those states were
amenable to no state laws, and only amena
bic to the laws OF Congress. Therefore there
was no state government capable Of ntify.
ing or rejecting the proposed amendment.
nor will there be until Cognrcss shall admit
these quasi territories to their former prac-
teal relations.
We can. then, arrive at no other conclu-
sion than that the number Of States necessa-
ry to ratify tho constitutional amendment
Is three fourths Of the States whose rela.
ton with the national government Mt the
time Of the constitutional presentnent of the
Amendment, were entire, or until Congress
shall recognize other states.

A NOVEL IpEA.-We find in the Scientific
American communication from Mr.. John
johnson of Saco, in reference to the applica-
ton of steam motors for moro extensive use
than has ever been introduced, and VIC copy
his remarks:
One cubic foot of distilled water weighs
GO 10 pounds, and contains l,72S cubic
inches: IL we take u second OF time rs u
unit Of time, on the basis of evaporating
l,72S cuhic inches OF water to realize horse
power per hour, one second is the 3,GOOth
part Of the time and also of the water, or
0.4S of a cubic inch, being in weight l2l SO
troy grains. or trifle less than half cubic
inch of water to DO evaporated per second,
to obtain during second, one-horse power.
As air passes into vdcuum ut about 1900
feet per second, and steam. being specifically
lighter, passes with greater speed, it occurred
to me that, us we have many engines per-
forming several revolutions in the second /,
and that as condensation practically takes
D ace instantly, there should really he M so.
rious difficulty in the way Of making man.
aScaDle nOusenoiu motor enGI"es, "ohou
from boiler containing hut a fraction OF a
cubic inch Of water. After many expert
ments. was enabled on small scale to ovap-
crate and ,ondense at the rate Of three revo-
lutions per second, using the same water for
steam and for vacuum, thus practically ob.
tanning condensing engine. also applied
modified plan to pump water and to drive
foot lathe. In working these motors
kept in view the need of maintaining uni
form conditions. The result is hopeful for
progress, and trust the time is not greatly
distant when small steam motors shall be as
common as are eight-day clocks.
