The Right to Punish Treason.

Hon. j. b. Baldwin, a prominent pol
itician and ex Confederate, of Virgin
ia, replies to the question whether JEFF
ferson Davis can be convicted of trea-
son in a Virginia court:
"Tn Virginia, 900 out of every 1000
people, at least, were in the same boat
with Jefferson Davis. ] do,not exagger-
ate when / say 999 out of every 1000.
And of course you find it difficult to
get any confederate of his, those who
were with him., and fighting for him,
and hurfahing for him all the time, to
desire to convict him. They would
not do it if they could help it; but that
you can find enough honest men is Vir-
ginia or any other Southern State to
respond to questionOf fact, I am as
well satisfied as I am of anything. -
Take my own case. never believed in
the right of secession, do not believe
in it now. I always looked upon the
whole thing as an absurdity land hum
bug. I always believed, and I believe
now, that as question Of law, right,
and power, the government had right
to hang jeff Davis and me too. The
question of law, right and power and
the question ofpoliey ar different ques-
tions. If were to sit-as a juror on
jeff Davis case, or my own, or Deene's S
I would not need any instructions from
a Judge to make me say that he ought
to be hanged-f1ot a bit These are my
views of the law and of the facts.
There are great many people in Vir
ginia of the same way of thinking.

Rhode Island Indians.

At a conference between Commit
tee of the Rhode Island Legislature
and the Narragansett tribe of Indians,
on the 9th, at Charlestown, the red
men declined to become citizens of the
State under the Civil Rights Bill. They
nous tribe has dwindled to 1873 per-
sons, and there is good deal of negro
blood among them. They now exist
as an Independent community, under
the guardianship of the State, electing
their own officers and making thefr

Sinking of the Har1ot Ship.

New York Correspondence Cincinnati Commercial
In connection with the foundering at
sea of the evening Star, on her way to
New Orleans, there are some interest
ing facts to be told The vessel is said
to have been utterly unseaworthy SO
that she was not insured; perhaps not
insurable. This damaging circum-
stance for the company owning her,
and permitting her to go to sea full Of
passengers. Among her passengers
were more than hundred unfortunate
women of the fiashy. persuasion, who
were on their way to spend the winter
in the employ of PROGRESSES of New
Orleans. They included representa-
tives from nearly all the first class hou-
ses of that kind IN THIS metropplis.--
They all went down. Many of them
were respectfully connected. A city
banker, on learning that his wayward
daughter was among the lost, clapped,
his hands in sorrowful grattidue, and
exclaimed: ''Thank God, my daugh-
ter, the pride of my heart, is beyond
the worlds shame"

ones, were two highly accomplished
young ladies, one the daughter of a
minister of the gospel in Western Pen
sylvania, and the other a daughter of a
clergyman in this city. The families
of fseyeral Of our New York merchants
were also represented among these
beautiful female ruins. Indeed, I am
told, that there was hardly one of these
fallen women who could not point to
highly respectable connections in this
and other cities. Charity must now be
thrown over them; but how sad the
thought that asingle burial case should
have taken down into .'that which no,
thing disembogues," so much Of sin
and wickedness as the Evening Star
contained, hundred harlots an oper-
attic troupe. 1t is only fair to state that
this line Of steamers has enjoyed the
dubious reputation of being the only
one which would engage its berths fol
the transportation Of such rough char
acters as composed this unfortunate
cargo of iniquity.

To the BOYS.

We think the boys of the present
day receive too little attention at the
hands Of their parents and friends
The little fellows are turned into the
streets as soon as they don the breech-
es. They hear all manner of vile
speeches. They see men pouring the
filthy drinks of the present day down
their throats. They hear the awful
oaths and imprecations SO fearfully
common among men of our day. A
boy naturally concludes that it is man
ly to loaf around the streets, to chew
tobacco, smoke and swear. Boys, it is
all mistake. No one has a right to
spend his time in loafing-no one can
afford to do it, though he may be rich.
God puts us in the world to do some
thing and if we do not obey Him He
will punish us for it. Old persons, in
easy circumstances, may, of course,
spend the evening oftheir days in ease,
but the young mast do somaethimg.-
Chewing and smoking, of themselves,
may not be wrong, but you will spend
much money for that which will do
you no good. What is more disgust
ing than to see boy in rags and a huge
pipe stuck in his teeth. We have seen
such sight often, and we must say, il
we wanted boy that sight would set
tie the question very quick that he
would not suit us. Swearing is utter.
ly inexcusabfe in man or boy. Boys

Portland Rebuilding.

Since the fire at Portland; July 4th;
there have been between 600 and 700
buildings erected, including fifteen
three story brick and grenite blocks,
containing in all twenty four stores
The total contributions received by
Mayor Stevens Of Portland for the re-
lief of the sufferers by the fire, lack but
$4,000 of half a million. A dona-
ton of 81 500 was received from Lo-
well last week, making the whole
amount from that city $4,000. So far
from Quebec having been more gener-
GUS i'll proportion to her population
than New York, the Portland Press
says that they have never received a
dollar in money or in any other form
from that city Observer.

Beast Buffers Order No. 2s.

Beast Buffers Order No. %.
"A subscriber" desires us to repub-
lish the notorious order No. 2S, issued
bv the Beast, while in command of New
Orleans Here it is:
HEADoR's DDp'T OF THE Gulf,
NEW ORLEANS, May l5,1362.
"As the officers and soldiers OF the Uni
ted States have been subject to repeat
insults from the women (calling them
selves ladies) of New Orleans, in re-
turn for the most unscrupulous non-in-
terfeIence and courtesy on our part,it
lis ordered that hereafter when any fe-s
male. shall by word, gesture or move
ment, insult or show contempt for any
officer or soldier of the United States,
she shall be regarded and held liable
to be treated as a woman of the town,
plying her avocation.
''By command of Major general But
ler
GEORGE C. STRONG, A. A. G.,
"Chief of Staff"
We clip the above from the Gin. En-
quirer. Oh the dire indignation Of
such papers against Gen Butler. 1t
was the duty Of Gen. Butler to protect
the National soldiers from the insults
of rebels, whether they were males or
females. There is not word to which
any true lady will object, in the above
order. Itaccomplished the object aim
ed at completely, and that is what the
Enquirer don't like Gen Butler pre-
served the peace Of the City of New Or
leans, and protected the lives Of all
men, which is far more than the present
administration has done. If an order
had been issued protecting the loyal
men of Louisiana, when they assembl-
ed in Convention, at least till they vio<
lated the law, that horrible riot and
massacre of the innocent would never
have occurred. But the Enquirer has
no tears to shed over the massacre Of
radicals. Oh no!
But the Chief offense of Gen. Butler
consists in having restrained certain
class of women from insulting United
States soldiers, and for this, the whole
Democratic party is enraged at the
General. Well efghty-seven ofthe same
class of women were recently collected
in the cities of New York and Boston
and were en- route for the famous New
Orleans, but they never reached their
destination. No, no. The whole
eighty-seven went en-masse to the bot
tom of the Atlantic
The Enquirer and it's followers pre-
tend to have great respect for the SOL
diers. Oh such respect Preserve us
from all such!
We remember well, that even when
the city of Richmond fell, that meanest
of Copperhead sheets, had not even a
solitary word Or syllable to congratu-
late the army and the country with, but
because loyal Democratic General
had the manhood to protect the sol
diers, under his command, from the
vile insults Of prostitutes, the Enquir-
er has been boo-hooing over the mat
ter for years. It would probably be
well for the country were a Butler
presiding over several towns and cities
we could mention.

Restori is creating a great excite
ment wherever she goes. Although a
native of the same land, we claim no
merits nor relationship on account of
her glory But she certainly must be
a remarkable person. The whole Press

The Dramatic Critic ofthe NewY ork
Tribune speaks af her as follows:
"Restori is great, greater, greatest !!
To have seen her in Medea, Maria,

No more Haunting posters attract

But for romance-a bit Of which,
though not much known as yet, will
soon come to light. IT'S this:
Some months since one of our scoun-
ter-jumpers'' Ca fine young many fell
in with a bonnie lass-pleasing and
pretty-the daughter Of well-to-do
farmer Of our immediate neighborhood
After courtship of several months,
lad and lassie became engaged. But
the lassie's 'sparient'' objected Time
rolled on. The lowers went hither and
thither.. About month since our lad
was informed by lassie that the stern
"parient'' had selected partner for
her from among her "country cousins, :"
and had informed her that on Wednes-
udy tne one JuSC passed. )Sne muSG unite
her destiny with that of the "cousin' -
The lowers, therefore, decided to
elope on the evening previous to said
Wednesday.
Our lad threw up his situation; the
evening come; he was on hand with
horse and buggy to convey the loved
one to Delaware, and thence to the
cars. The ladder was raised, as, also
her window, when, 10 :! the bubble burst
The sunshine Of happiness was gone
forever. The Watchdog was aroused
Our lad was compelled to beat hasty
retreat amid the execrations Of the en-
ragged "parient," who had awaken te
the reality without. Lassie penciled {
note pledging faithfulness, and, ere sh'
could be placed under closer surveil
lance, cast it to our disappointed. Sc
ended what would have been.

over his daughter that, ere sunset, sh'

ADOuC lmpeachment.
Harpers Weekly, absurdly dated No
vember 3, though circulated all oyer
the United States on the 9th Of Octo-
ber, has a judicious article on the Ben.
Butler and Wendell Phillipf notion of
impeaching the President. Harper
says of the President: ''That his Pres
idency is a national misfortune, and
that but for him the country would be
rapidly returning to "a normal condition
is unquestionable. That he is entirely
untitled by natural capacity and train
ing for the office he holds is painfully
conspicuous. Phat he comprehends
neither the causes nor the consequent
ces of the war, and is curiously igno-
rant both of the American people and
of the dominant idea of our politics, is
undeniaEle, Bnt these, although mis-
fortunes for the country, are not i'm
peachable ofrenseS' Again: HE is
charged with usurpiug the prerogative
of Congress in settling the questions
left by war, and with a shameful pros
titution of official patronage to person
al ends But as to the first charge, his
offense thus far is nothing. more than
a violent and indecent assertion of what
is constitutional and of what Congress
ought to do. He has expressed opin-
ions, he has as yet attempted no acts.
He has, indeed, denounced the opinions
of those who differ with him as treason
and their holders as deserving of the
gibbet. But this merely shows the
mental muddle in which he has been
long involved
AS to the abuse of the appointing
power by the President, Harper says:
''His total misconception Of the re-
llat.ons of the various officers to the
GcI1-cc,;-iiil c; -iiillneut, are indeed extraordinary,
but they are not unprecedented. His
conducts not essentially different from
that of other late Presidents, and will
lead undoubtedly, as it should, to a le-
gal remedy ola very menacing danger
to which the Government is exposed
The whole question Of appointment
ment and removal, in its exact consti
tutional relations, is still an open one,
and if the President be guilty Of the
grosset and basest attempts at political
bribery by patronage, his ofense is
not so peculiar as to justify, in the
public mind, SO extraordinary cor
rection as impeachment"
In conclusion this journal remarks !:
''It would be enough, therefore, to
prove the ineSpediency, under the cir
cumstances, of an impeachment, that
the grounds of action are neither evi-
dent nor adequate to the public mind
But there are other reasons which rem
der it especially impolitic. It would
unnecessarily embitter and prolong the
present party conflict. Under the cir
cumstances-for it is circumstances
which determine expediency-it would
wear the air of an act of indignant re-
venge; and it would be curiously dis
proportioned to the present offense' y

Radical, but his Radicalism has a ba-
sis of sound information and common
sense, and he is not animate like But

Postoffice Orders for Remittances

The money order system of the
Pestoffice Department is frequently
overlooked as a means of making re-
mittauces. Its utility and cheapness
is well illustrated by the following from
a recent New York journal:
"a clerk of one of the business
houses of this city was sent out recent
ly to enquire the price of draft of
$4,000 on California. He ascertained
that it would be three per cent, or $144.
His principal directed him to go to a
well-known banker, to see if better
rates could not be obtained. The
clerk, mistaking the name given him,
called on Postmaster Kelly, and was
informed that his money could be sent
by Postoffice orders for $24.0O. This
was an unexpected condition of affairs
money orders had not been thought Of
but after due consideration the sum il
was proposed to send to California was
forwarded by means of these orders
The rate was just one half of one pei
cent"
