News Summary.

Concerning the arrest Of Colonel John s.
Mosby, By'miIi6ary authority, the Richmond
Examiner says He is charged, we un~
derstand, with having hanged two Federal
soldiers in the Valley, during the war, in
retaliation for the murder of some of his
men. When we remember that Colonel
Mosby, though of that class known as Par
tisan Rangers, was afegularly commissioned
officer in the service of the Confederate
States, and, as such, received the parole
awarded the other officers Of General Lees
army, his arrest seems most extraordinary,
and fatty in violation of the terms of parole.
For some months Colonel Mosby has been.
quietly practicing law In Warrenton, de-
meaning himself as good and loyal citizen
of his section.

The Baltimore American strongly urges
an amendment to the Constitution, proyid-
ing that the President shall be elected by a
direct vote Of the people fora term of six
years, and shall be Ineligible for a second
term. Such an amendment would unques-
tionably do away with much of the political
wire pulling and President making that has
made American politics kissing and a bye
word for many years past But this fact
alone, we fear, will be sufficient to defeat
ths effort at reform in this respect
