What was Once Said.

On the 12th of December, 1859, Mir. Lyman Trumbull, then, as now, senator o1 the United States, said:
 sIn my judgment, there is a distinction be- tween the white and black races. made by Omnipotencc itself. l do not believe these two races can live happily and pleasantly to- gether. 48 senator from Tennessee, said:
 ssThe senator from Illinois comedies the whole cround, and all this clamor and claptrap about liberty and man being created equal falls to the ground"
 MT. TRUMBuLI, it will be recollected, framed both inc Freedmen's Bureau Bill and the ''so- caled Civil Rights Bill, which seek to over ride the dstiaction bet~een lhe sohife aud o1dcS races made'--as he once admitted" by om- aipoteace itseIf

GLORIOUS. The most substantial cause for ioy that we have received from Washington, since the President s.smashed' SUMNER and STEVENS, and conferred the title of ''Dead Duck on FoRNEY, is the proposition of the Committee on Ways and Means, to reduce our taxes some fifty or seUenty.tice millions!

The meek mouthed Milligan has
been arrested for treason and held to
bail in $4,000. This persecution OF
their most ingenious champion will
enable the Democratic papers to re-
print their old editorials on the in
fringemcnt of the liberty of speech.
They should remember, however,
that the arrest is not the work oi
military authorities, but is simply
carrying out process instituted by
the civil courts of Indiana.
Milligan will be remembered as one
of the leaders of the Indiana Sons OF
Liberty. lie was arrested for q

Colonel Jacques, of Ills, has been
tried on the indictment found against
him in Kentucky for rape, and trium.
phantly acquitted. None of the wit.
nesses summoned on his behalf were
examined, but the case was submitted
on the testimony of the prosecution
without word of argument from the
counsel for the defendant. The In
dianapolis journal says:
"The wretches who undertook to
swear Col, Jacques into the Peniten.
tlary succeeded in convincing the ju-
ry that they were graceless pack OF
liars, and so completely demolished
themselves that no testimony was
needed on behalf of the accused. He
was prepared to prove, by some of the
best men in Illinois, that he was in
that State at times when some of the
witnesses testified to his presence in
Louisville, and his participation in
the alleged crime, and by others that
he was in this city on certain day in
which it was sworn by prosecuting
witness he was In Louisville, and the
proof was unnecessary"
Perhaps The World and some 9th
er Copperhead journals will remem.
ber the vituperation they heaped upon
Col. Jacques and the Republican par
ty when the accusation was first m ad @
against him some monthe ago, and
retract it. And perhaps they won't.

The Senate, Thursday, spent the
greater part OF the day in the considc.
ration of the Reconstruction Commit
tees report. The third section was
stricken out by unanimous vote, ,and
then the substitute agreed upon in
the caucus of the Republican Sen.
ators was reported. In the House
the new Freedmen's Bureau bill, as
reported by Mr.. ELIOT, was passed
by vote of three to one. The Re.
construction Committees report was
taken up, and there was a lively and
interesting debate. No action was
taken.
In the House on Saturday some
real business was transacted. After
several bills of no general interest
had been presented, the tax bill was
again taken up, and considerable pro-
gress was made. In the course oil
the debate on the bill, Mr.. Stevens
reviewed in very severe terms, and
amid much excitement, the recent
serenade speech of Secretary Nc.
Culloch, and denounced him as pros
tituting his office to unholy purposes
The Secretary was defended by Mr..
Delano, of Ohio, from the charges OF
Mr.. Stevens.
