GREELEY LAST WABBLE-As a


single illustration of the amended
thought which is now pervading all
classes of the people at the presesatu
time, inducing them to revise oIN
Mons adopted under The promptineA
of revenge, mistaken for the instiga Y
tions of patriotism, we cite the signi.
fcant fact that the New York I7i6une,
within the last two or three weeks,
has formerly renowned the policy of
confscation, to which it once looked
as thunder-bolt of war. In his cele-
brated prayer of twenty Millions"
addressed to the President, Mr..
Greeley wrote:
/ eve think you are strangely and
disastrously remiss in the discharge
of your official and imperative duty
with regard to the emancipating pro-
visions of the new confscation act"
"We complain that the confscation
act which you approved is habitually
| disregarded by your generals, and
that no word or rebuke for them from
you has yet reached the public ear. ;"
''We require of you, as the first SER
want of the republic, charged espe-
cially and pre-eminently with this
duty, that you execute the laws.
Most enrriahaticallY aaagalapI- 7sdepan1
that such laws rs have Desn recencf
enacted, which, therefore, may fairly
be presumed to embody the present
will and to be dictated by the present
needs of the republic, shall be carried
into full effect, and that you shall
publicly and decisively instruct your
subordinates that such laws exist; that \
they are binding on all functionaries
and citizens, and that they are to be
obeyed to the letter"
This demand we thought mis-
placed and inapplicable at the time,
but every reader will perceive the
higher and wiser aspirations under
which the Tribune now writes,- when
it holds the following language:
''The zanies i'll the loyal States,
who talk as though broad empire
would be subjected to military execu-
ton, supply the venomous desperate
traitors in Dixie with the very ali
ment they need; and we deeply regret
that one of the resolves of the late
Baltimore Convention seems calcu-
lated to give them lift. Gen Ere
mont did wise, generous, manly act,
in stamping, instead of standing, on S
the wholesale confscation plank OF a
the Cleveland platform, thereby aid e.
ing to smooth tie path to peace.

CAPT. SEMArEs. are pleased to
learn from one of the New York pa
pers that the impression gains ground
that, though Capt. Semmes will be
tried by q mixed commission, COM
posed of military and naval officers,
his conviction and release will turn
almost solely upon the question of
whether or not he violated the usages
of war in escaping from his vessel
after striking his flag. It is conceded
that the laws of war justified his
burning, sinking and destroying his
prizes, and that he is protected by
the terms of Lees surrender from
acts of lawful warfare.
