Courts relative to forfeiturcs OF estates
for treason, and less crimes because
this last view of the matter would re-
strict the clause to rare and anomalous
cases. ..... ......
The whole history of this Bill Of
Attainder" cvinces its odious reputation
in tho minds of the people, as the cello.
brated case of its use by the Virginia
Legislature against Josiah Phillips
(Which occurred but q very short time
before the session Of tho convention
which framed the Constitution Of the
United States) emphatically attests.-
Even the brilliant fame Of the immortal
Patrick Henry has been tarnished by
his connection With that case not that
he did any act rcprehonsiblo in the case,
but that he invoked the aid of 80 detest.
able remedy.
The olium in which this cxtraordi.
nary remedy was held, no doubt arose
from the detestable war, made Of It BY
the Stcwarts after the restoration in
England, to con6scate aud forfei: the
property Of the descendants Of their
enemies, long after the perpetrators Of
the alleged offences were dead, to crafty
their malice and repleuish their exhaust,
ed Golfers. Reference to history shows
that this mode Of forfeitiug estates, so
popular with tyrants, was frequently
designated, Attainder for Treason" in
contradistinction to ordinary convictions
and judgments for treason.
The bad odor attached to this remedy
by the tyrants of England, and the
fresh remembrance Of the widely repro
batcd use of it in the Phillips case in
one of our own States, and the sisnif'
cant fact that it could only embrace the
forfeiture of estates unless the accused
voluntarily appeared, and that forfeiture
OF estates was its main object; thus en-
tircly obviating the charge Of incompl;i'
bility Of forfeiture, and restoration oI
forfeiture in the same judicial act; Ger
tainly affords a good reason that the
trainers Of the Constitution Intended the
restriction to apply to the peculiar rcmc
dy Of "bill Of attainder Of treason anc
not all cases of treason"

The Guard Of Castle Thunder.

A huge Russian bloodhound, which
for four years acted us guard Of Castle
Thunder, has just been brought to this
city by Mr.. Sidney Mum, who is now
stopping at the As,or House. This
hound is probably one Of the finest spec
linens Of the canine tribe that has ever
been seen in this rity. Jet black, stand
ing over three feet in hight, with a huge
but wcIl.propor,ioned head and body,
and thcws and Sinews that might belong
to small bullock, he presents very
Formidable appearance, and was doubt
less an efficient guard to the rebel pris.
on. His weight is said to be about $50
pounds. lie was imported when quite
young for the purpose Of being trained
to fight bears in which amusement he
soon became quite proficient. Ills ow-
ner states that within a year or two he
has fought three pitched battles with full
grown bears, and came of victorious in
each. He formerly belonged to Cap.
tain Alcxauder, who repeatedly refused
500 in gold for him, and matched him
on one occasion in a bear fight for
SIP, 600. The animal is said 10 possess
an amiable temper when no, provoked.
His appetite is good, six or seven pounds
Of mea, forming an ordinary meal. He
is certainly one Of the grcatcstcuriosities
that has yet been imported from Rich
mond.-N Y. Times.

Returned Rebel Soldiers Killing of
the Guerrillas.

For some time past there has been a
gang of gucrrillas dcpredating upon
friend and foe in the vicinity Of Friar' $
Point, in Mississippi. They numbered
about fifty, and were regularly oflieered.
Last Saturday, some returned rebel sol.
dicrs from Johnston's army, who had
come home to return to peaceful pursuits,
got after these guerrllas, and succeeded
in killing their Captain, Lieutenant, and
two Of tie men, and captured three Of
them. The men captured we're turned
over on Sunday to the guard on the
steamer Rcbecca to be brought to Helc.
ma, at which point they were left on the
Rcbbecca's upward trip. The balance Of
the gutrrillas escaped to the Arkansas
side.
The returned rebel soldiers said they
had come home to have peace, and they
we're going to havo it they had to fight
for it. Memphis Bulletin.

Attempt to Assassinate Gen. Duval.

On Wednesday, the 18th ultimo, .au
attempt Was made at Slaunton, Firginia,
10 assassina,e Gen. j. II. Duval, who
was in command Of the United States
forces at that place. At the time, the
General was sitting 10 the house Of a
we'll knowu citizen, whose loyalty is un'
doubted. While thus situated he was
fired upon through partially opened
doorway, by some one standing outside.
The party evidently took deliberate aim,
as the ball srazcd the Generals person
and lodged in the wall beyond. The
weapon used was a pistol, and the party
firing it fed immediately without being
seen BY any one.
The attempt is represented as a very
bold and daring one, as there was pro-
vost guard Of fifty men quartered within
scoxngy Ecox gyeEds Nss Of the house where the the
town was thoroughly searched and all the
arms, of every description, taken from
all the citizens and parOled soldiers. 1t
is said these parolcd parties are not as
submissive as they appear, and they stiii
bear watching. '."-

important Disclosures by Mr., Foote.

The New York Hcrald's Washington
corrcsnondcnt says that the question
which has long been agItatod' MS to who
is responsible for the cruel treatment of
our prisoners confined in Libby and
other prisons in the South, may now be
considered as dcfnetely settled through
no less n person than cx.rcbcl Senator
Footc. 1t appears that Mr.: Foote was a
member Of the committee in the Senate
to examine into the treatment OF the
prisoners, and the reports Of their harsh
usage and starvation. His story, as
told By his own relatives, shows a deeper
Intention than has been generally sup
posed, and fastens upon jeff. Davis aud
bis Cabinet 4 crime both startling and
appalliny in its details. Mr.. Foote, it
is said, states that the investigations
showed conclusive evidence that 1t was
decided in Cabinet meetings, to reduce
the rations served out to the prisoners
that it should SO weaken their constitu.
ton, in connection with their contnc.
ment, that it would destroy them as SOL
dicrs. and make them, when exchanged,
worthless.
Senator Footc determined to report
these facts to the Senate. but the balance
of the committee ovcrru'cl him and sup
pressed the facts. My informant further
states that it was on this point that the
quarrel between Davis and Footc broke
out arresh. which resulted in the latter
leaving Richmond, and seeking some
scquestcrcd spot where such horrld
deeds were not committed. Here then
is the evidence conclusive of JEFF. Davis
anF associates guilt in tho diaboiiea
deed Of starving our prisoners, deed
which makes the most stoical person
shudicr to contemplate. Men who vii
coolly and deliberately plan scheme
like that will conspire to assassinate q
President or any other person. 1t is 4
fitting sequel that the authors Of such
deeds should end their careers in COW.
nrlIy manner, dressed in petticoats. No
wonder jeff. Davis cloven foot revealed
who he was.

The Horrors of Southern Prisons.

During the last three months over
10000 Union prisoners have been pa.
rolled at Varina and Aikcn's Landing,
on the James River; over 10000 from
Wilmington, and from Fernandina and
Jacksonville over 5000. Out Of 81, 900
returned Union prisoners Of war paid of
during the last three months, not 1000
were Of the number taken prisoners in
1863, and at least 500 Of these were paid
in hospitals. 1t is known that owing to
the suspension Of exchange during 1864,
a large number Of prisoners were held by
the rebels captured during the previous
year. Evidence elected on the present
trial of tho assassination consplrators,
explains whero they are.
