Public Sentiment III regard to
jeff. Davis.

When Jeff. Davis vas first arrested
there was considerable ebullition Of the
public feeling in favor Of his trial and
punishment. The demonstration Of this
feeling, as was natural, became less vic.
lent az time woro on, but nevertheless,
although the loud clumorings have
ceased yet there is fixed sentiment
arlong the people that he should be tried
and punished. The diabolical atrocities
of Andersonvillc cannot be forgotten
the thousands Of mourning families who
have been bcreft Of their protectors by
his diabolical conduct will never forget
that punishment which is due to his
damn ming crimes. Public opinion is as
much in favor Of Furnishing him as it
was the day when the news FIRST flashed
along the wires that he was captured.
1t is true that when he vas Grst cap.
turcd there were none even Of his own
people who had the hardihood to speuk
Of his pardon, but as time passed off and
many Of tho rebels became the benc6cia.
ries Of President Johnson's clemency,

boldencd to ask the like boon for their
chief. But it is not worth while for the
rebels to talk Of his pardon. lie will be

The status Of Rebels.

In our last issue we endorsed the de-
cision of Judge Polsley refusing admls'
sion to returned rebels to practice in his
court. We stated the law that VIC con.
slider sustained and even required such
decision. We deem it highly improper
to clo,he any rebel with Official authority
or restore him to position Of honor and
influence. Such conduct on tho part Of
loyulists would be reflection upon those
saIlcnt men who periled their lives 10
defence of the Union these men stroyc
to demolish. We would treat oil rc.
pentaut rebels with kindness, and strict
i refrain from doing or saying anything
to bnmiliate or even remind them Of
their great error; but, on tho other
baud, the loyal people expect them to
be content with the position Of pirate,

. Support Your Mechanics.

There is no truth more uudcniable
than that it is the boundeu duty Of every
community to support it's mechanics.
They are a worthy and indispensable
class Of men, and We 6nd no town, or
village aourishing without their aid.
Indeed, their absence is always true
index of the condition Of the place
whether it is advancing in wealth and
i'm portancc, or sinking into decay.
Whenever we pass through village and
hear the frequent sound Of the carpen.
ter's hammer, the clink Of the black.
smiths anyil-that village, We soy to
ourselves, is prosperous. 1t cannot be
otherwise !; for the producer, are active.
ly employed and outnumber the con-
sumcrs. Whenever this is the case, the
people arc growing wealthy, and at the
same time training the rising generation
to habits Of industry aod morality.
When, if q city or village pursues the
opposite Of this course-neglect' its me-
chanics, and supports those Of some
other place, and those WHO arc left arc
compelled by force Of circumstances to
remain and become idle and proaigatc-
in few years they become beggars, and
their children become ignorant and vi.
cious, they will cease to produce, and
become consumers. ..
If there is any truth in the assertion
that We ought, as a nation, to give the
preference to domestic manufactures
(and VIC ougbt,) the same is equally
true with regard to the community
both are sustained by the same argument
If merchant would have around bin
substan ,ial customers, let him BY every
means 10 his power support the mechan
les in his place, and, as they become
more wealthy, their custom will increase
especially in those articles on which he
makes the greatest profits. The habit o.
importing large quantities Of cheap for
eign articles in competition with our city
mechanics, is short sighted and wrong
both as regards tho mechanic and con
sumcr; if the merchant will look furtbe
into the operation Of things, he will fin
that be crossed tho path Of his own in
tcrcst by doing SO.
We say, then, let all classes suppor
each other, and by mutual exchanges
keep that wealth at home, which, if un
necessarily expended abroad, tends tt
destroy tho business Of your neighbor
aud which in turn destroys your own.

PLY married who nestle safely under the

From the Times.
The closeness Of the vote in Connecticut on
Monday, as well as the pause in the proceedings
of the Senate, surely combine to suggest that
moderate concession and a reasonable degree of
concilation are required to avert the difficulty
between Congress and the Executive. The cause
of the poseponement of debate on the veto is
favorable to the calm reflection which must pre-
cede reconciliation. The death of Senator Foot
should call forth something more worthy of his
character than stereotyped eulogy and formal
regrets and what is more befttng the occasion
than the exercise of the kind forbearing spirit
which won for him universal respect and an
influence which men of more brilliant parts
have failed to acquire
If the life of the deceased Senator teach aught
worthy of being remembered by his associates,
it is that there should be no divorce between
principle and courtesy that adherence to ones
own convictions is compatible with the fullest
respect for the convictions OF others; that to
accomplish practical results in statesmanship,
as in ordinary life, there must be a reciprocal
| yielding up OF points not essential to the main
| object in view. Solomon Foot was In these
| respects an eXemplar that may be proftably
| studied by some whom he has left. Never a
| trimmer or wayerer in politics, he found it
not necessary TO Justify his patriotism by i'm
| pugning the patriotism of Others. Difference
! OF opinion, whether in reference to ends or
| means, was not held by him TO be reason for
| imputng dishonesty. He had so little OF the
Pharisee in his nature, that he was never
| tempted to rise in his place in the Senate
| Chamber and thank God that he was purer,
better, wiser than his neighbors. de did not
| contound lnsolonce with integrity, intolerance
| with consistency, nor savage obstinacY with
! adherence TO principle. And most devoutly is
1t to be desired that in all these features of his
character he may be initiated by those who are
most loud in their professions of love and
| veneration towards his memory
The temper of such an one as Senator Foot
will be pre-eminently salutary and useful when
action upon the veto is invoked. Disguise it
as we may, the contest which is threatened is
pregnant with contingencies that cannot be
contemplated without anxiety. More depends
upon the manner in which the subject shall be
approached than upon the mere fact of its dis
posal. The veto may be sustained without ne
cessarily entailing final rupture between the
President and any considerable proportion of
the Republican party; or it may be overrdden
without exhibiting members of that party in
the ligh of assailants or enemies of the Presi.
dent. But these results are possible only on
the supposition that Senators enter upon the
discussion with n proper regard TOR the rights,
and a proper respect for the opinions and feel
ings of the writer of the message under con
sideration.
If they would avert difficulty unattended with
danger, they should make up their minds to deal
