~TAs Iilustrious Prisoner at Fort.
ress mOnrOc.o
MOUNTAINEERING the enormor

Notwithstanding the enormous crimes
which JEFF. Davis, "the illustrious pris-
oner at Fortress Monroe" as he is styled
by Democrats aud rebel sympathizers,
is 60 ~ 1t is becoming apparent that he
will e, entually escape punishment, and
we expect every day TO hear Of his re-
lease from confinement. A recent dis
patch from his place Of confinement in
forms us that his parole OF Fortress
Monroe and its grounds had been extend
ed by the order Of the President. Fur
ther, the guards, whose solitary and never
ending tramp, tramp" so disturbed
the author of Andersonville, Libby and
Belle Isle, have been ordered to discon-
tinue their surveillance, thus allowing
Mr.. Davis sight to be no longer tortured
by the sight of the uniform Of the SOL
diers who tumbled his treacherous fabric
TO the ground. Davis, very naturally
expresses himself gratitied with the
change, and has taken up his residence
with his wife, in the apartments assigned
for her at the fortress by government
officials. His Imprisonment, therefore,
is merely nominal, with all the comforts
in his confinement OF frst,class hotel
life.
We hope that one OF the first acts of
Congress, after its re-assembling, will be
to rectify the apportionment Of judicial
circuits and districts throughout the
country, so that there may be no further
postponement of the trial OF the repre-
sentative traitor OF the nation, He
has merited punishment, and though
great his crimes and anxious the people
are for his punishment therefor, ne is
entitled to trial. 1t does seem to us
that perpetual imprisonment is the least
punishment than can be awarded him
and the ameliorations granted JEFF. Da-
Wis, 50 strikingly in contrast with those
he awarded our boys in blue, are as I'M
called for as they are unjust to the thou
sands of the sons and brothers OF North
ern men whose bleach in the sun OF every
Southern State. Doubtless we shall, ere
long, be called upon to chronicle ova-
tions to JEFF. Davis by the reconstruct
ed" rebels of the South at every town
he pass es through on mis- way to Mis-
sissippi to re-occupy the lands that
Johnson is ready to restore to him, and
turn out the loyal freedmen who have
been taught in his old mansion to main
tain inviolate the flag he sought to dis
grace and humiliate.

ELECTION NoTRs.-It is stated that
most Of the Irish voters Of Chicago who
exercised the elective franchise at the re-
cent election in that city, voted the Re-
publican ticket. The Irishmen OF Illi-
nois are learning to be led more by
knowledge than by the nose, and after
careful survey Of the field determined to
vote for the party which denies to no
one, in their adopted country, the free
dom which they ask for their own race
in the land of their nativity.

sofa rises to 10000. There are only six
teen Democrats IN the legislature, and
several of them, it is said, are in favor
Of The Constitutional amendment, and
would be classed with Republicans If
they lived in other States. The copper
mines in that region are all under
ground.
The Kansas legislature, it is re-

clause, debts against the corporation
might become worthless. 1t was pro.
posed to amend by adding the clause
but the Speaker ruled that II could not
be done, and that the only question in
order was, Shall the bill pass, notwith-
standing the objections of the Governor
and on this question the constitution re-.
quires that the yeas and nays shall be
taken and recorded. One lonesome man
voted to override the vote, and one

Among the pending bills is one Of con.
siderable Importance to business men
How TO compute interest, and applv
payments when partial payments have
been made on notes, is not by any means
the easiest problem in the world. II il
were there would not he so many differ.
ent rules in the arthmetlcs, and SO
many different methods in practice. The
bill now pending will secure, if passed
certainty and uniformity. 1t provides
that when notes carry simple interest
only, payments made upon them shall
be applied, first, to liquidate the int.
rest that has accrued at the time Of
such payments, and secondly, to the ex.
tinguishmeut of the principal. When
interest is payable annually, the annual
interests that remain unpaid shall be
subject to simple interest from the time
they become due to the time of final set.
Element but if in any year, reckoning
from the time such annual interest he
gan TO accrue, payments have been
made, such payments shall be applied.
first, to liquidate the simple interest
that has accrued from the unpaid an
nual interests secondly, to liquidate the
annual interests that have become due
and finally to the extinguishment of thc
principal. 1t is strange that such bill
al this, or one similar to it, was no,
enacted into law years ago.
The State Reform School occupies
I good deal Of the attention of the legisls-
ture. Early in the session, a specia
committee OF five representatives and
three senators was appointed to visit
and examine it, and their report land &C
companying bill, has to-day been put in
circulation, They found that the man.
agement of the institution is in the
main excellent, that the superintendent
and his associates are enthusiastically
devoted to their work, and that the
pupils are receiving valuable discipline
and instruction. They are of opinion
that the interests of the State require
the establishment Of similar institu-
tian for girls as soon as the condition 0.
the treasury will allow, but they do not
i recommend any present appropriation
for that purpose. The bill provides
among other things that not only boys
convicted of crime, but any boy under
the age of sixteen, whose parents Or
| guardian may think that an experience
in the reform school would be for the
! correction Of his morals may, with the
appreciation Of the Probate court, be re
ceived into the institution, the paren.
or guardian paying an agreed part 0.
the expenses. This will make the schoO
in part a boarding school for unru,7
boys and if 1.-THE of those who are {:
subjects for it are sent there, the plao
will speedily become too strait to bOi

MERCANTILE HoNoR.-Cyrds W. Field
has twice failed-once in 1857 and again
in 18SO-both times from the effects of
commercial panics, superadded to his in
yestments in the Atlantic cable scheme.
His creditors of 1857 he subsequently
paid in full, and he is now engaged in
the same service toward those of 1850,
the successful laying of the cable having
mt him in funds. The amount be is
now thus disbursing is about $500, 900.

Pleas has decided that steamboat com

re-sellipg tickets. Joseph R. Smith
bought state room tickets on board the
steamer st. John for Albany, and having
obtained the keys re-sold them at pre-
MUM. The agent of the company for
bade the proceeding. He refused, claim
ing he had tight to sell. Subsequent
ly the clerk put him off the boat and the
dock of the company. He subsequently

laying his damages at $1,000, with a
special damage of 1904 for money he
claimed to have lost in the attempt to
resist the officer. The jury gave him a
verdict of 81 400.

A TOUCHING IYClDENT.-The following
is taken from an abstract, given by the
correspondence the New York Christian
Inquirer, of a sermon recently preached
in Washington by Rev. W. H. Claiming
Next he carried his audience to the
hospitals of the soldier, where again he
found Christ manifested sometimes
consciously, and then unconsciously.
Among many others exquisite anecdotes,
exquisitely told, was that Of boy, not
eighteen, whom in his office of chaplain
he found dying. He said to him, "My
boy, what shall do for you p "Take
my pocket-book out" said he. Mr.
Charming did so, and the boy opened it
and took out three photographs. At
one he looked and said my mother, you
did not so soon expect to meet me" His
mother was evidently dead.) He then
took out another and said, Dear sister
Lizzie, you did not think should die so
far from you" He then kissed this, as
he had done that Of his mother, with
more loving words to both. He then
took out the third and looked up into
Mr.. Channing's face and smiled. 1t was
his betrothed Mr.. Charming said at
is hard to die when life is so sweet. "
"Oh, no. no, no." said the boy, II thank
God that have 4 life to give for my
dear country"

prisoners at Toronto or Monday, ac-
companied by Ri. Rev. Bishop Coke and
Rev. DR.. Fuller of Toronto. The clerical
party had al interview with Colonel
Lynch and the Rev. Mr.. Mcmahon, who
voluntarily pronounced the verdict in

one. They afterwards visited the other
prisoners, who are all together in thu

few tender and touching words, and il

TIE PRESIDENT AND THE ELECTIONS,
The following telegram from the Pres
ident to the Governor OF Texas has been
published
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 80, 1866.
Your telegram of the Goth inst, just
received. have nothing further to sug-
gest than urging upon the legislature to
make all laws involving civil rights as
complete az possible, so as to extend equal
and exact justice to all persons, without
regard TO color, II 1t has not been done.
We should not despair of the Republic.
My faith is strong, my conf ience unal-
minlshed in the wisdom, prudence, VIZ
tue, intelligence and magnanlmity OF the
great mass OF the people; and that their
ultimate decision will be-uninhuenceo
by passion and prejudice engendered by
the recent civil WARRIOR the complete
restoration OF the Union by the admis-
sion Of loyal representatives and sena'
tors from all the States to the respective
houses Of the Congress of the United
States. ANDREW JOHNSON
The President, as will be seen by the
above, has evidently been induced to
Swing around the circle" once more.
He has changed his mind greatly re-
spectlug civil rights since his veto OF
the bill bearing that name. Had not the
result of the October elections some
thing to do with this change Of opinion ?
We opine it had, and could Andy, since
the November elections, have a plausi-
BILE excuse for writing anesher letter to
Gov. Throckmorton or some other South
ern Governor, he would probably see
the admission OF loyal Representatives
and Senators from aH the States to the
respective houses Of theCongress Of the
United States" in different light,

THE NEGRO IN INDIANA.-The colored
convention at Indianapolis, last week,
held four days. and was quite respect
able and Influential. Its final proceed,
iugs were the adoption Of an address to
the Indiana Legislature, declaring the
rights Of the colored men, their loyalty
and good behavior, and asking that they
be allowed to vote, that their children
share in the advantages of the schools,
and that generally they may have the
privileges accorded to other citizens.
An address to the voters Of similar pur-
port was adopted and the appeal, just in
itself and well made, WILL obtain favor
able answer. The republicans Of In
diana know what they are about. The
people of the North cannot reasonably
or effectively demand just and fair treat
ment for the negro of the South until
they have fully accorded it to his broth
at home.-Swmafeld Republican.

luding to the contradiction by Horatio

Gently, he expressed himself in favor Of

suffrage, says:
1--WE notice in some Eastern journals
a paragraph to the effect that Governor
Seymour emphatically denies that he ex.
pressed himself, while in st. Paul, in IA
vor Of the constitutional amendment and
negro suffrage. We know nothing of
what Governor Seymour says in New
York, but what he said here We know

South ought to accept it, and that if he
was In Southern State he would vote
for negro suffrage"

PORTRAIT OF BEECHER AND HIS
FLOCK.

From the New York Daily News
II. Ward Beecher has not little puzzled
his friends and admirers by the manner he
has treated public affairs in some lectures
he has delivered this spring in Brooklyn
and Philadelphia, and Wendell Phillips has
more than once taken his friend and brother
TO task for kicking out of the traces. We
have received the following pen and ink
sketch of this singular peronage, and doubt
not the likeness will be at once recognized:
Sometime ago | went TO hear Mr.. Beech
er, and for the first time saw and heard
celebrity who has long excited my curiosity.
l confess that | have not been more agreeably
surprised by the matter, than more diagree-
ably surprised by the manner of a speaker
in long time. His decided Endorsement Of
the Presidents course, his praise of the
Southern people, and his earnest appeals for
the immediate admission Of their States
without the concession Of negro suffrage,
surprised, COMPOUNDED and Disguised, his
friends who loudly and deeply damn him
rs little better than n Copperhead. But !
have never met a public speaker who so
little merits the high reputation which he
has achieved. He is coarse sometimes 10
vulgarity; undigni6ed, sometimes 20 buff
foOnery-and irreverent, sometimes 10 inn
picty-while he exhibits neither the grace
nor the polish of an orator, nor the logic of
a reasoner-audacity in treating of sacred
thing, a reckless utterancc of startling things
"A good voice, and moral and physical
courage, all enlisted in a cause which ena-
bled him 10 appeal successfully TO passion
rather than 20 reason, 10 the deStmctionist,
and not to the patriotism Of his listeners,
have happily combined TO give him the
reputation he has.
webster, Clay, Preston, Hayne, Pugh,
Nanc 2, Corwin, and hundreds of lesser lights
whom / have met, would, upon his own
field, have immeasurcably eXcelled him.
While calmly listening 10 his commonplace
illustrations. his familiar Ggures and apo
thegms, his material views of life, his APP
peals 10 our coaTser instincts and making
his las a sailor would saw damn-my-eye
air, and his bow-wow manner, ! saw and
appreciated the sources of his popularity
with the half-educated, wide-awake, grasp
ing, iostling, busting and money making
crowds that 20 TO hear him, and who, from
their very pursuits and instincts, demand
in a preacher n man whose eye-teeth are
cut In deviltry, and whose smartness, appa
rent in his manner and language, gives pro-
mise Of out-witting the devil, though he can
not guide 10 Heaven. His pulpit style for
/ am told these speeches were specimens of
his manner as a Christian teacher seems
borrowed from distant view of small stump
oratory, and certainly have witnessed il
more acceptably exhibited upon many
stumpts in our well canvassed Western conn
tries"
We shall add nothing 20 this picture, as
il seems 20 be finished and ready 10 hang mp.
