Honesty OF the President.

Mr.iByington, of the New Haven Patladi.
slm, now chief of the Now York 1ribune's
corps at Washington, writes thus candidly to
his own paper in reference to the purpose
and spirit of President johnson:
Whether the president is right or wrong in his
plans of restoration, it is not doubted by those
who know HIM best that he is perfectly honest and
sincere in his propostiOns-that he believes he is
carving GU, the views of his immediate predeees-
sor as well as his own-that he is not tenacious of
any plan nor hostile to any, provided they do not
conflict with what he believes to be the fnndamen-
tai principles of the constitution which he has
sworn to support. There is great misconception
of his plans and purposes. He is as positive and
ardent in his aims and wishes to distinguish be-
tween Loyalty and discyalty as are the most deter
mined on that subject. But for the truly loyal,
tor those who have suffered all but death from
their love tor the old flag, he has an abiding afec
ton, a fellow feeling that makes his heart yearn
towards them as did Joseph's toward his brother
Reuben; and he cannot appreciate, tor one mo-
ment the force of any ofthose theoretical absuac
tons about states out of the Union, states in the
Union, dead states, conquered territories, SC,
that would deprive such loyal men of full fellow
ship with their northern brethren in the enjoyment
of mutual rights and privileges under govern
ment which they mutually defend In her hours o
gloom and peril. When the people fully under
stand the presidents attitude upon this subject
they will not only be satisfied with 1t, but applau'
him for it.

MILITARY COURTS REPUDIATED BY
THE SUPREME COURT.

The supreme court of the United States,
of Indiana, have just decided in favor of the
prisoners and they will now be released from
confinement. 1t will be recollected that .hsse
men were condemned to death, by one of STAN
toms military courts. Their sentence was
committed to imprisonment for life, and now,
on their petition, the supreme court, Chief
Justice Case presiding, has decided their trial
illegal and they will be set free.
The Vallandigham case, and all other cases
where civilians were tried by a military
court, would also be so decided if they were
carried up. The infamy of stanton's militia
~ mock trials will be the disgrace of this
country, for ages to come.

MASSACHUSETTS, REBELLION.

The Salem Mass.l Statesman says 10 late
ly heard one of the radical leaders declare
that if President johnson goes on as he has
been going. the next rebellion will be IN
Massachusetts. This is by no means the
first time that the Bay State has threatened
to resort to notification, secession and an APP
peal to arms, though it has always ended In
smoke; and the Newark IN. ~ Journal pre-
diets that if rebellion ever occurs In Mass
achusetts 1t will be by resolution, as hereto
fore, not by armiss-unless they can hire a
new batch of negro substitutes.

A Freedmsn's Wedding at Mobile
From the Mobile Daily Advertiser.

From the Mobile Daily Advertiser.
The richest affair of the season came off this
morning at the Office of Judge Starr. In order
to give the reader full insight into the case, it
is necessary to start at the mayors court, in
which the case of an unhappy pair of old dar-
keys was brought up for adjudication. 1t ap-
peared that the venerable old couple had been
living together man and wife, but, as she said,
"without the circumference of law" They
brought a voluminous string of charges against
each other, and taxed the mayors patience be-
yond endurance. The court being unable to
make head or tail of the affair, turned the case
over to the freedmen's bureau.
They shot out for ''de buro," and the trial
was at once taken up. After hearing all the
case that tribunal decided that they should be
lawfully married forthwith, and placing them I'M
der guard, sent the bridegroom to the Office of
Judge Starr, for that functionary to carry out
the sentence of the bureau. When they got to
the Esquire's Office, the guard simply stated to
Justice Starr: 'Here's couple for you to mar
ry." "All right" replied the humorous justice !;
and the guard, not having invitation, to the
wedding, retired.
"Just step in the back room," said the Justice,
"and I'll splice you in grammatical style and APP
ple-pie order"
The couple followed him to the room in the
rear of the front Office, and after explaining
the duties and obligations, requested them to
Join hands.
Bride-.I isn't gwine to do it. doesn't want
to hab noffin to do wild dat niger"
Groom-'I isn't 'ticular bout marrying wild
de gal. / nebber dubbed the wench."
This protest opened the esquire's eyes like
1.-TWO full moons in the harvest" He asked
what was the meaning of it, and just then re-
preventative of the bureau stepped in, and in
formed the justice that they were ordered by the
feeedmen's court to be married, and he came up
to see the sentence execut
With this understanding Justice Starr told the
'happy couple" to join hands, which they did
after much persuasion, and the following scene
ensued:.
Justice-"Do you take this man to be your
welded husband, to love, honor, obey" etc.
Bride-"No, / doesn't, not much doesn't,
wouldn't hab four acre lot full OBJ such trash

man Trumbull, then, as now, a senator of
the United States, said:
SIN my judgement, there is distinction be-
tween the white and the black races, made by
Omnipotence itself. do not believe these two
races can live happily and pleasantly together"
Not five months later, Andrew johnson, a
senator from Tennessee said:
'The senator from Illinois comedies the whole
ground, and all this clsmor and clap-trap about
liberty and man being created equal falls to the
ground"

Mr.. Scovel, the president of the New Jer-

the resolution for joint session to fill the va

been elected on the republican ticket, still he
could not in justice to the interests of the
whole country, as an American citizen, low
ing the lasting unity of these states and good
government better than party purposes, vote

support the president of the United States

voted with the democratic side of the house.
He said he had been threatened, in his room.
