The Press now tacks right about, maintains
that man cannot "by writing or publishing"
disturb the public peace or ATTEMPT to subUert
the government" unless he accompanies it by
acts of violence-that argument must be met
alone by argument and that only when actual
violence is resorted to, should the law step in
to punish. In other words, that man NAV be
the veriest traitor at heart, may publicly teach
treason and attempt to subyert the Soyern
ment up to the point OF striking the yery blow
to overthrow II, with complete innocence he
lore the law and with entire impunity from
punishment. This is the present position of
the Press; and it win be apparent To orr rood
ers how broad it has been obliged to make its
cloak of charity in order to cover the moral
treason of its party leaders !-1rgus.
This is correctly stated, except that the Press
has not tackled right about, but has always and
uniformly held that under the Constitution Of
the United States there can be no treason with
out an actual state of war. 1t is allowable for
the Argus, which doesn't know the constitu-
tional definition of treason when it sees it,
which actually criticised that definition an
pearing in the Press the other day witho, ana
tation marks, and pronounced it "defective"--
itis allowable for such paper to talk ofsmor-
al treason" and express as it does in another
passage, its desire to see law for the nun;sb-
ment ofthat singular offence. Meanwhile the
Constitution insists that treason against the
United States shall consist only in leUyiag aoar
against them, or in adteriag to their enemies"
VIII the Argus be kind enough to explain
how its doctrine OF "moral treason" is to be
reconciled with this plain language of the fun
damental law of the land. a

Row shall People get 10 Churche

In the rather animated discussion respecting
the management of the street cars and the or
der of the station, the main question seems to
be forgotten. As the season advances it may
any Sunday become practical questi IN, and
We are assured that many church-goers in this
city are looking for the practical answer with
great interest. The congregations of half a
dozen of our churches are now;dependent upon
the Christian charity of other societies for
places of worship. Their new places of meet
ing are not so conveniently accessible as the
old. These are the facts. Under the circun-
stances, the street cars would undoubtedly be
largely patronized ifon Sundays they should
make two or three trips just before and Just af-
ter meeting time. 1t certainly seems that much
good and no harm would come of such an ar
rangement. -e4rt- -i.a'
The management of the station in Market
Square obviously has nothing to do with this
suggestion. Nevertheless, as our correspond mt
Church" claims her woman's privilege of the
last word in the discussion with Truth /" it is
proper and perhaps necessary to say a word on
that point. 1t is mistake to suppose that the
station is or has ever beeA with the knowledge
and consent of the directors scene of disorder
on Sundays. Some time since as might easily
happen in any public place, there were some
displays of rowdyism there. The matter was
brought to the notice of the directors and
promptly corrected. If we are rightly inform
ed, there is now no reasonable ground of COM
plant. Church probably has not visited the
room on Sunday of late, and if she should

icals and other articles which are offered for

tect them whenever the waiting-room is open.

GEN. SHERMAN.


Gen. Sherman made a speech at Detroit
the other day. 1t was short as that of a sol
der, and wise as that of an intelligent patriot.
He said:
Il know the man at the head of affairs at Wash
ington, and all we have TO do is to trust him, lap
plause, and give him our hearty and earnest sup
p0,. ne certainly nayea bright ana prosperous
the arts of peace. Let the pillow and the anvil and
the machine shop take the place of the sword and
the bayonet and happy future is in store for US.
Cannot our people extract lesson from
this? Cannot our Legislators and those in
authority throughout the State accept the
teachings of Gen. Sherman on a subject 50
vital TO the future of the Union and Of the
States? IL they would accept and act upon
these views, the General would vote for them,
If he were here, and we would vote
for them, il we were not, disfranchised.
The friends of the Constitutional Govern
ment of this country are the same in senti-
ment All rho are on this platform are loyal,
all thO are not are disLoydl. As the President
said to the Montana delegation 81 care
not by what name the party administering
the Government may be denominated-the
Union party, the Republican party, the
Democratic party, or what not--no party
can administer the Government successfully
unless it is administered upon the great prin-
ciples laid down in that paper" This is a
truth that will live in after times as well as
. l.. Il. Al.
Sherman says Eve have bright and pros
porous future before u.s." If we fail in this,
God help us hereafter.

Mr. FooTE's work ON the Rebellion, re-
Gently published by the Harpers of New
York, is marked by the well known char
acteristics of that eccentric parsonage. 1t
discourses volubly upon number of mat
tiers personal in their nature, but scarcely
gives a fact which the scrupulous future his
torian OF these eyentful times wilfcare to
make use Of 1t is an unpaeking of his
heart with words, oftener than otherwise,
tinged with bitterness, rather than fair
chronicle Of the events he sets out to relate
The public mind has other and better en-
ployment than the reading of Mr.. Foote'S
criticisms upon the public men with whom
he has been associated. They are quite
piquant gossip for politicians in the small
sense of the Sord, but the earnest, honest
people of this country have little patience
for book of this sort, and we can see no
good purpose, present or prospective, that it
can subserve. The object of volume on
so serious theme as the recent rebellion,
should be TO enlighten and instruct. This
can do neither. We have no desire to in
jure the sale of the edition now presented,
and presume il will be easily disposed of,
but we predict that it viii soon take its place
on the upper and dusty shelves, and be re-
garded us one of the trivial political curiosi-
ties of the times.

A CONTEMPORARY says newspaper, like
achild, is most liable to die before it talks"
Experience teaches that newspapers talk at
the moment of their birth. They die Of
over-talking and wrong-talking-misleading
people, telling lies, and saying things that
do nobody any good and please nobody.
Sometimes they live as the mistleloe lives
on the bough of the oak-by drawing their
substance from individual power and re-
source, not their own-live as parasites. In
this case they live by lying and by minis
tering 10 the interests Of one or more cofed-
Grated scoundrels. Some live by levying
black mail upon innocent aud upright COM
munities, and some by whitewashing and
receiving the weekly stipends of the enc
mics of good government and good society
and good morals Some die because they
are edited by men who ought to be in the
lunatic asylum-and some, according to To-
cation, because sensible and virtuous and pa
