phasize and enforce the soundness OF
this prediction, the Tribune editorially
points out the great injustice which has
been done TO the FenIaDs by the Gov
eminent of the United States. To
issue proclamation after the Fenians
had actually taken up arms and gone
TO the field, the Tribune regards as an
act of cruelty. The proclamation
should have appeared before any of
Sweeney men had gone to the trouble
and expense they have done in getting
up war. To stop them on the very
eve Of invading 3 peaceable neighbor-
ing community was contrary TO all
rules Of fair play Perhaps the Trib-
une thinks this sort of plastering is
misunderstood by the Irish people.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE IS, 1866.

A Washington dispatch states that
Horace Greeley, Augustus Sehell and
Horace F. Clark, of New York, and
Others, proposed to become sureties for
JEFF Davis in $4,000 each, on his bail
bond. Judge Underwood heard the
arguments of Mr.. Davis's counsel, in
Washington, on the 18th inst, upon an
application for bail, Attorney General
Speed representing the United States
The Judge rejected the application on
the ground that he had no authority
TO grant it, Mr.. Davis being held as a
prisoner of war. Having failed in this,
the counsel viii probably ask the Presi-
dent to release the prisoner on parole
Judge Underwood and Mr.. Speed have
but played into the hands of the
Chase radicals, and attempted to
throw the responsibility of the fur
ther imprisonment of Davis upon
President Johnson They could very
readily have found law for granting the
application for bail, if there had not
been some sinister purpose influencing
their minds. IF Davis is kept in con-
fnement and dies under it, radicals of
the Greeley cast will denounce the
President for inhumanity, just as Gree
ley is now ceDsuring him for issuin G
his proclamation against the Fenians /;
whilst, should Mr. Davis be released on
parole by the President, the Chase radi-
Gals will denounce him for his leniency.
We are sure the President viii do what
he believes TO be just and proper, re-
eardiess Of denunciations from any
quarter.

Missouri.

A very animated political canvass is
in progress in Missouri; and General
Blair, who has always been a loyal
man, served his country hODOrGbly and
with distinction in the war, and was
an advocate of universal freedom when
the loud takers of to-day did not dare
to favor it, is taking an active part
against the radicals. The anti-radi-
Gals are in the finest spirits, whilst
their opponents are dispirited. The
St. Louis Dispatch of a recent date, in
the following paragraphs, shows how
sadly the radicals are 'put to it TO
save themselves.
We learn from private sources that q
seutiment Of re ] alarm prevails in the
radical camp in Missouri, particularly

Interesting Incident--PTize Debate
az Yale College.


In the heat OF political battle we are
too apt to be so engrossed with the du-
ties of the present as TO give but little
thought to the future, to what the ac-
tons and who the actors will be when
we have left the stage. One of the
most admirable features of our system
of political economy is found in the
general discussion Of public measures
by young and old, rich and poor, who,
being the source Of sill power, are thus
educated to independence and enlight-
ened exercise of the elective franchise.
A most interesting illustration that this
kind of education is constantly produ-
cling enlightened members of the body
polite, recently occurred at Yale Col
lege The Junior Class at that College
on the 10Th of May, through thirteen
select men, took part in prize debate
upon the following question: Has
the policy of Andrew johnson, as Pre-
sdent OF the United states, been such
as to entitle him to the confidence and
support of the loyal people OF the coun-
try p The Committee of Award were
the following gentlemen: Hon. James
F. Babcock. Hon Henry Dutton, L l.
D and Hon. Francis Wsyland, Jr The
first prize was ava, ded to Mr.. James
6. Flanders, of Milwaukee, Wis, whose
address certainly merited the high
compliment, because, being in the
Affirmative, was directly opposed to the
well known sentiments of two OF the
distinguished gentlemen composing the
Committee of Award

One of the most malignant radicals
in Congress is Mr. Ashley of Ohio. A
correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial comments as follows upon
him:
Mr.. Ashley's record is thst Of tho most
malignant radical in Congress, and yet his
district is so far from being radical that il
narrowly escaped being Democratic in the
last election IL was saved by a few hun
dred soldiers votes. Ashley has voted for
every extreme measure Of the present ses-
zion, and the conservative character Of the
Tecons ruction proposition now pending j.

his stripe.
Early N December the Ohio delegation

gesged 10 Ashley that his commitments
would not endorse such a measure, and his
rep was that be didn't care q damn for

A dispatch from Washington toahe
Cincinnati Commercial says the new
Freedmens Bureau bill will be reported
20 the Senate with several amendments.
the most important of which is one
striking out the section offered in the
House, by Thad Stevens, to confirm
the title of the Sea Island lands granted
by General Sherman 10 the negroes,
and substituting for it a provision
which will enable the owners to recover
the lands, under certain conditions.
Several thousand acres are reserved
from this provision, as they were for
feited to the United States for the non
payment of taxes All these are TO be
distributed among the negroes in lots
of sixteen acres each.

siuation ever made in this county took
place on Sunday night, at Howth.
Warner, the approver, who gave evil
dence against the Fenian prisoners du-
ring the trials of the late special com
mission, had been living at Clontarf,
under the protection of the Constabu
iary. Although aware that he is the
object Of intense hatred, be impTudent-
ly exposed himself while there, having
gone into public house, and exhibited
a pistol, which was taken from him,
and he was at the same time terribly
beaten He was, consequently, remov-
ed to Howth, where, with his wife and
six children, he lodged in a house
next door to the constabulary station,
and was under the protection of a sub
constable named Tormy. On Sunday
evening, about o'clock, Warner and
his protector were standing against the
wall of the graveyard about ten yards
from the police barracks, when they
were accosted by a strange man, who in
quired the name of the grave yard, and
then got into conversation with them,
and ultimately invited them TO have
some drink at q public house. Tormy
refused to go, stating that he belonged
to the police.
The stranger then inquired where
they lived; said he was hungry, and
asked whether they knew a place
where he could get refreshments.
Warner, who is said not to have been
quite sober, then invited him TO take
tea with him at his lodgings. The Wis
itOr was introduced to Mrs. Warner,
and made himself so agreeable that
several bottles of Porter were after
wards brought in and consumed About
l0f o'clock the man, who gave his
name as O'Connor, expressed a wish to
stay 81 night if he could get bed
The landlady said she would give him
one sooner than let him out at that
late hour
The offer was thankfully accepted;

RELIGIOUS ExERCIsEs-A New FEA-

At the festival in Wesley Chapel, Friday

in masquerade costume, expecting TO have

near aging he was "disguised' as q mon

make themselves scarce. They got out in

The greet point made against this propo-
sed reform was that il would cut down sala-
ries Of all the army officers stationed ia
Washington, in the various bureaus Of the
War Department. This is strictly true and
the bill was expressly designed 20 give the
largest pay TO the officers actually in the
field or commanding military posts, TINS
making q discrimination in favor Of the
hardest work and the most valuable service.
The hundreds Of army officers in Washing
ton employed in mere clerkships have al
ways been receiving the full nay OF officers
Of the same grade who have borne the heat
and burden Of the day IN the field. Nay,
more, by q curious perversion Of justice,
these officers have actually received more
i'm the shape Of Communication for "fuel and
quarters " Thus Major General on duty
in Washington gets an allowance OF $500 a
year for fuel and 81 800 a year for quarters,
making 81 800 in all by reason OF being
Stationed at q town or post, away from the
troops, while officers who are in the field
and with their troops, do not get this allow

AMONGST the many complimentary

At period like the present, when orr

population, and diseases prevail to an ex-
tent hitherto undreamt of, it is proper that
the means Of cure should be Of ready ac-

should nave information which will lead
them to avail themselves of competent
Medical advice. Men who have been edu-
Gated IN the best schools of the profession
OF Medicine, and been successful in a prae-

confidence; If they have given their aitep-
ton exclusively to one branch of the pro-
