WARS AND RUMoRs OF WARS.

The Aews received by the Cuba shows
very alarming condition of affairs on the Con-
tinent. The "whole Prussian army" has
been massed, and "Austria is bringing into
the field every man she can raise, and the
whole nation is painting for war" This is
the language of the London Times From
this, we see that the iron-handed policy of
Won BISMARCK, who is stout believer in the
divinity of force, is again in the ascendant.
Modern diplomacy is indebted to this
statesman for the bold declaration made at
the Barritz Conference that might and right
are convertible terms
1t is true that this principle of force under
lies the movements of nations; but he is the
only man of the present, who has frankly
propounded the philosophy of Government,
and summed it all up in single maxim.
We cannot tell what the result of the pre-
sent complications be, but watch the
storm with a melancholy conviction that
HOBBIES was right in declaring mans normal
condition to be one of perpetual warfare

THE SENATE.

This body begun on Monday to.discuss the
so-called amendments to the Constitution.
This u.s. however, an elegant way of conceal
ing the real nature of the business which now
engages them. In point of fact, Mr.. SUMNER
and his friends are as busy as bees, or bea-
vers, in plucking out the quilts from the
American Eagle, and despoiling that noble
bird of his tail-feathers. That is the whole
thing in nut shell but the Eagle aforesaid,
is very tough bird, and we incline to the
opinion that he will not allow his plumage to
be torn without gentle remonstrance. In
deed, he has shipped off the heads of several
ofice-holders already, and it is the belief that
he has Coming appetite" M ~

PANIC IN ENGLAND.

A financial panic has at last taken place in
England Old houses and country banks have
been shocked and started out of their proprie-
ty by the failure of concerns deemed to be as
solid as the Bank of England. Among the
great people who have fallen in this dismal
financial crash the name of Sir tMorton Peto
figures, The liability Of his house is put at
an enormous figure, but it is thought that the
firm will have moderate balance still remain
ing-say about million. For our own part
we would be willing to blow up, not only in
financial explosion, but on one occasion by
Duponts best, or nytro-glycerine, if assured
that we could have that modest little sum left
to our credit Sir Morton was in this country
last year, and perhaps the rush Of Wall street
unsettled his judgment. His failure isspoken
of by the London papers with sympathy and
regret IS st ~ iolae aqR a14H

divide AND GOyERN.n8

A movement Is now on foot to divide Ten
nessee into two States. The ghost of seces-
sion again lifts its head, and strange to say, it
comes forward clad in a garb of quasi legali-
ty. Indeed, it looks very much as if it had
borrowed the cast off robes of West Virginia
in which the role of peaceable secession was
played before a small audience some time
ago in the city of Wheeling. s1ec ta
The movement is tob lamented. 1t lacks
the dignity Of any grievances, real Or imagip7
ary and is the result, pure and simple, of
the arts Of designing politicians, who under
separate State organization might exercise
gubernatorial functions, wear senatorial robes
and otherwise enjoy the emoluments of of
fees now beyond their reach. Considering
the fact that Tennessee sregarded to be a
'dead State" by the immortal Thad, this
movement shows curious belief in her dou-
bls-barrelled vitality on the part of his Radi-
cal friends. s7g.@ M n. ss5es

A CARD.


NOnrOAhJ 49, way Sott, loOO.
A recent publication in the Baltimore Ga
zette, and other facts which have come to our
knowledge, render it proper that we should
make to the public, brief statement of the
circumstances under which we appeared as
witnesses before the Grand Jury Of this United
States Circuit, which found bill of indict-
ment against Hon. JEFFERSON DAVIS, at
their recent session in this city This expla-
nation is wholly unnecessary to those who are
acquainted with our antecedents and SYM
pathies but, in order that our position may
not be misunderstood by any man. we desire
to state that we did not go before the Grand
Jury as willing witnesses We went most
unwillingly, in obedience to pereaqto'y or
der of tho Court, served upon us by the U.
S. Marshal. 1t may not be improper to add,
that we declined to dnsWer many questions
propounded to us by the Grand Jury, on the
ground that if the crime of treason has been
committed, the answers to those questions
acould tend to criminate ourselves equally ,oith
Mr.. Davis; and we were surprised to find our
names published at the foot of the indictment,
in the list of witnesses upon whose testimony
the Indictment was found.

THE RECORD OF MIR. CHASE.

The Cincinnati Commercial has an elabor-
ate article on the former status of Mr.. CHASE,
in the course Of which it charges that Chief
Justice Chase, together with Greeley, it is
known, advised President Lincoln to let the
slave States 60 rather than resort to armed
coercion, which was in violation of the State
Rights theory he had preached all his life,
from the case of Sones VS.. Van Zant, III
McLean's Reports, in 1912, to the celebrated
Oberlin fugitive slave rescue cases, e1 parte
Bushnell, e1 Pa,te Langston, in 1859, repor-
ted in the Ninth Ohio State Reports, when,
as Governor of Ohio, through the Attorney
General, p. Wolcott, he prosecuted writ
of habeas corpus to release prisoners conyic-
ted of violation of the Fugitive Slave law
from the Cleveland Jail, and openly declared
that he would sustain by force the decision Of
the Supreme Court of Ohio against that Of
the United States, even if it resulted in col
lision with the general government-the
full-blown Calhoun doctrine of notification.
No wonder Chief Justice Chase is now 10th
to try Jefferson Davis for carrying this very
doctrine into practical operation on a nagni-
icent scale .,5l..s

CURIOUS LOGIC.

The New York Tribune has long report
of an interview between Gen. STEADMAN and
the freedmen at Wilmington, which it heads
in large capitals "THE BUREAU VINDICA-
TED" We have examined this document.
and find chat number of speeches are quoted
from the freedmen, which by no means "vin-
dictate" the Bureau, as is claimed, unless it be-
that the principle of evidence to be introduced
is, that absence of information on the part of
some witnesses, constitutes an offset against
the positive knowledge derived from other
sources
'e Forexample, "Mr. NIXON declared in reply
to question of Gen. STEADMAN, relative to
the alleged mal-practices of Bureau officers,
that he "never heard of one instance of the
kind,' whereupon, Mr., GREELEY; philosopher
that he is, leaps with the agility Of a kauga-
roo to the conclusion, that because the afore-
said Nixon didn't know the fact, that there
fore, it was q fiction. Now, unless it be
established, that this person is omniscient, the
vtlue of this negative testimony, is morally, as
well as logically, at zero. Nothing can be
palmer than this proposition Z YsT
Now let us see what all this Wanted testi-
mony was worth. All these men Halsey,
Holmes, Nixon, and McLaurin. agreed that
the Bureau was Indispensable as protection
to them against the s hate Of the " whites"
They all concur in this, seeing which General
STEADMAN put this well considered question !:
eff either the soldiers or the Bureau must
be removed which would you have stay p
Cries from all parts of the house, f" The Bu-
reau." 9.sa .4,t .s -.+,... % 1919
+ MoLAuRIN--" Wewould keep the Bureau"
+ The hollowness of the pretence is here clearly
slown. The Bureau, without the force could
afford no prote ction, if such in reality were
really needed but it is great eleernosynary
establishment which the freedmen, by a very
natural impulse are reluctant to abandon 9iis
But their future must be achieved by honest
toll and good conduct The Bureau cannot
sit forever like an incubus on the country and
the sooner the freedmen learn to dispense with
its questionable benefits the better for them.

A REASONABLE WIsH.--ft is stated that
President JOHNSON has ordered General
STRONG to proceed to North Carolina with in
strnctions to put in arrest officers of the Freed
mems Bureau, who are engaged, or interested
in the cultivation Of plantations We con-
graduate our friends of the Old North State,
and sincerely trust that General STRONG may
be sent to make an exploration of this State,
with his powers to redress grievances en-
lafged. He will find a large field of inquiry
and usefulness before him in the region near
