Southern SIander.

From the Tribune.
A Richmond paper supplies its readers
with what purports to be an account of
the examination of tie Virginia delegation
by the Reconstruction Committee. Mr.
Baldwln-the Rebel Congressman who re.
Gently nominated Robert Il. Lee for Governor
of Virginia, and more recently made his speech
to the President-appears to have testified that
he had private interview with Mr. Lincoln
in April, l861:-
'Mr. Lincoln asked why the Virginia Con-
yention did not adjouTn. His reply was that,
although there was a Union majority in the
Convention, they would not adjourn while
ignorant OF the plan for the adjustment of our
National difficulties He had also said that If
he had Mr.. Lincolns power he could settle the
disaffection in fifteen minutes by withdrawing
the troops from Sumter and Pickens, and by
calling a Convention of all the States. Mr.
Lincoln had replied that be would do this"
Mr.. Howard, one Of the Compttee, objected
and said:-
"He felt certain that Mr. Lincoln had never
promised to wlthdraw the troops from Sumter,
as an inducement to the Virginia Convention to
adjourn, for he would have been swept from his
seat by the indignant people of the North.
''Mr. Baldwin replied that his memory was
good, and such was his impression; but as he
was alone with Mr.. Lincoln on that occasion,
and there was no one now TO rebut his testl
monY, he would not give it as anything moro
than an impression left upon his mind"
If Mr.. Lincoln's memory is to be at the mercy
of every Rebel who chooses to remember ''prl
vate" conversation, what is to become OF tht
facts or how IS history to be written? Mr.. Bald
win, however, SINNERS down into an "lmpres
sion," and may step off the witness stand.

The recent treaty OF England with Austria is

directly between those two countries. Aus

Mr.. Gibson alluded briefly to the condition of
English trade with the United States, and set
the fears of alarmists at rest. The exports TO
this country were no more last year than in
1850, having been in round numbers f2l 900. 900
in value IN 1860, and also about eel 900, 900 in
1865. The increase over 1864 was only about

The Kentucky Legislature "A New Rebel-
lion Threatened.

From the Herald.
The Kentucky Legislature is making itself
supremely ridiculous in the face of the world
The other day it solemnly rejected the great con-
stitutional amendment for the second time, and
in this instance after the amendment had been
allyGproclaimed part OF the Constitution
the supreme law of the land. This is, no WevGr,
a small affair compared with what follows.
Lately white man, charged with the murder OF
q black man in Kentucky, was taken by order of
General Fisk and posse OF cOlorGd troops, from
the civil authorities and turned over to mill
tary camp. Why THIS was done General Palmer
may explain in his statement that the civil
authorities afford no justice or protection to the
negIo in Kentucky. The proceeding, at all
events, stirred up the wrath OF the State Senate
to high pitch. Mr.. Gown thought we were
under centralized despotism; that the military
authorities were seeking to degrade Kentucky
through mere malevOlence; and he said that ''If
we cannotget redress in any other way, he was for
resistance, even at the point Of the bayonet, to
determine whether we are ireemen or slaves.n
But Mr. Cochran out-Heroded Herod. Hear
him.
Mr.. Cochran denounced the Government as a CEN
tIaZed despOtism, and that the community OF trail
ing the country INTO ruin. 1he time has not yet
come for open resistance; but when it dd-when the
authorities Jailed to redress these wrongs-he was

freeman than live slave
These fellows have evidently not had enough
of war as neutrals, and are hungerng for little
rebellion of their own. When they say, no W.
ever. that they would rather dIe as f1eemen than
live as slaves, they mean that they will die if
their treemen are not held as slaves. But never
mind. Kentucky has been unlucky, and we
must allow her time to simmer down.

Recent Commercial Treaties in Europe.

From the World.
In addressing his constituents at Ashton, less
than three weeks ago, Miner Gibson President
of the English Board of Trade, gave some i'm.
portant information as to the results of the COM
mercial treaty between France and England for
which not only these countries, but Europe
ITSELF is indebted to the late Richard Golden.
These beneficial effects are not 70 be found alone
in the moral advantages arising from more
closely cemented relations between the two
nations which were parties 10 the treaty. or
merely in the direct results, which are tolersbly
well understood and appreciated. Even the
commercial consequences produced by it are
not duly estimated by those who conslde. only

leading commercial nations of the Old World
Since the ratification of the treaty with

about 60 Millions in 1862 TO more than 100
millions in 1865; aud the increase undoubtedly Y

An Example for Southern Rebel Poll
...F-. ID. ticians. ...

.u.FI ticians. l.
From ne Herald
The mproprietY of electing leading ex-Rebels
to our national Congress is 50 obvious that we
are really astonished that the politicians OF the
South, silly and fanatcal as they have hitherto
shown themselves, should persist in attempting
to force ex-Rebel officials into the councils of
loyal representatives. The American people are
very magnanlmous; but they are by no means
prepared to consent to see JEFF. Davis take his
old seat in the United States Senate, and almost
equally prominent Rebels figuring in the House.
From President johnson to the humblest work
ingman, the people are unanimously OF the
opinion that season Of probation, during which
these leading Rebels may show their conversion
TO Union sediments by their good works, must
be mperatiyely insisted upon before they are
again admitted to prominent positions in the
Government OF the country which they have
tried so hard to ruin.
Mr.. Alexander II. Stephens, who served as
Vice-Prpsident of the defunct Contederacy, has
administered timely rebuke TO the Southern
politicians and set an excellent example to
others in his situation by positively declining to
accept the Senatorshlo from Georgia. When
his name was proposed he wrote letter refusing
the nomination, and when the stupid politicians
insisted upon elec4ing him he declined to serve.
Mr. Stephens is sensible enough to see the out
rageoI ,urdlty OF re warding reason by Offices
oi state. That may be done IN Spain, but it will
not be permitted in this country.
He knows, also, that the effect o f the election
of such men as himself is to strengthen the
Radicals to give kind of justification to their
refusal to admit the Southern DELEGATIONS, and
to induce the Northern people to favor the
punishment of unrepentant traitors, and more
severe legislat on in regard to the South, whose
pol ticans show themselves so incapable of ap-
preciating clemencv, and so utterly destitute of
common sense. We hope that the leading Re-
bells of the South will have the good taste to
initiate Mr.. Stephens example, and refuse to
serve, even IL the politicians are foolish enough
to elect them, and thus compel the selection of
unobiectionable loyal representatives. If the
contrary course be pursued we shall not expect
the Southern delegates to enter Congress for ten
years to come.
