The Tribune Confe sses.

The TribuRe at last is constrained to con-
fess the attempt to connect jeff. DAVIS with
the assassination of Lincoln. by means OF
perjured witnesses is failure. The con-
fcssion takes this form
Judge Advocate General Holt has pub
lished through the Chronicle (W ashington)
and in pamphlet, "Vindication of Judge
Advocate-Gcneral Holt from the Foul
Slanders of Traitors, Confessor Peliurors
and Suborners, acting in the interest oI
Jefferson Davis" In so far as it confines
itself to its proper work. we deem this Vim
dication complete. Gen. Holt was duped
by the arch villain who called himself San
ford Conover, as others had been before
him. Deceived by Conover's lies, he gave
that scoundre credence and money which
might have been better bestowed Con-
over, thus supported. suborned other vii
lains to commit perjnrics confrmatory OF
his own-al of them received and accredi-
ted in perfect good faith bv Judge Ilolt .
but. when the House Committee proceeded
to investigate them, some of the second
hand rascals recanted and confessed theil
perjury wherenpon Conover though he
stoutly reiterated and stood by his original
imposture, soon took occasion to vanish
and has since remained invisible. Oh
course, his whole fabric of villainy falls to
the ground" .-,..... .sr-..
The position in which Judge Advocate
Holt, and the Tribune are placed, by these
admissions, is one not calculated TO elevate
either in public esteem.

jackson and johnson.

The Philadelphia A.Ge, under the head Of
Strange Condolences" furnishes The fol-
lowing facts in the lives of the two Ten
nessee Presidents:
Andrew Jackson was born in North
Carolina, emigrated to Tennessee, and wa,
elected President of the United States.-
During his administration the opposition
were wonderfully exercised because he
dared to remove men from office who op-
posed the Government. Andrew Johnson
was also born in North Carolina, emigrated
to Tennessee, and is now President of the
United States The opposition are just
now wonderfully exercised about his re-
moving men from office wlo are now op-
posed to the Govrrnment.
Philadelphia was the only great city in
the Union whose municipal authorities re-
fused to extend hospitalities to General
Jackson on his visit to the West, and Phil
| telphia is the first city whose municipal
authorities refused to extend hospitaities to
| Andrew Johnson on his visit to the West
But the people of Philadelphia turned out
en- masse to welcome Andrew Jackson, and
bv decided vote at the polls stcrnIy re-
buked the municipal authorities for their
contemplate meanness. The people OF
Philadelphia also turned out en- Hasse to
welcome Andrew johnson, and will ad.
minister rebukc to the present municipal
authorities at the balot-box. Strange CO.
incldences sometimes happen in this wick
ed world of ours"
Another strange coincidence consists in
the names of the two Presidents. BY sub
stituting Jack, the nickname Of John, for
the latter in the name of our present Presi-
dent, their two names would be the same

The DisuniOn Consistency efs the New
York Tribune.

The editor the New York Tribane, is
now trying to keep the Union BROKEN UP,
marches upon an old and consistent line.
Everybody will remember how, in 1860,
he ridiculed all who loved the Union as
"Union-savers," and said, ''the South could
not be kicked out'of the Union" and how,
when the South seeded, he said, "let it
60" Read the following, u--s
From the Tribune, Nov. 8, 1860.
aIf the cotton States shall become sat-
isfied that they can do better out of the
U Mon than in it, we insist on letting them
60 in peace. The right to secede may be
a revolutionary one, but exists neverthe-
less. We must ever resist the
right of any State to remain in the Union
and nulify or defy the laws thereof. To
withdraw from the Union is quite another
matter. Whenever a considerable section
of our Union shall deliberately resolve to
90 out, we shall resist all coercive meas
ules designed to keep it in. We hope
never to live in Republic whereof one
section is pinned to another by bayonets.'
From the Tribune Nou.. 26, 1860.
"If the cotton States unitedlv and ear
nestIv wish to withdraw peacefully from
the Union, we think they should and wo'd
be allowed to do so. ANY attempt to
compel them by force to remain would be
contrary to the principles enunciated i'll
the immortal Declaration of IndependcL
contrary to the fundamental ideas on which
human liberty is based" r. .'
From the Tribune. Dec. II, 1860.
'1f it (the Declaration Of Independence
justified the secession from he British En-
pire of three millions of colonists in l776
we do not see why it would not Justify the
secession OF five millions of Southrons
from the Union in 1861" t.. .,H~
From the Tribune, Feb. %, 1860
"Whenever it shall be clear that the
great body of the Southern people have
become conclusively alienated from the
Union, and anxious for separation, we
will do our best to have it peacefully grant
ed them" :
The New York Tribune now in 1866
insi.ts that the Southern States shall be
probited from coming back, unless NEGRO
FIED. mottled, black, so that the high boun-
ty men and the Jacobins of the North
through the overseers. of the Negroes Bu-
reau can govern. Hence, all this resist
ance to restoration of the Union, and to
a reunion of the States The South is
not wanted, because, with the Democracy
of the North resisting, the bounty men of
the North cannot govern the whole union.
1t thu South would only vote, from fifty to
three hundred per cent. bounty to wood
screws, &C., there would be no difficulty iu
restoring the South. Because the South
in 1860 would not do this, {" LET THEM Co
was the watchword then. Thus, it is seen,
this is not negro issue that divides the
North apd south, but Bounty Question
a Protection Question. The West, whose
interests are the same as the South, is led
off just now by Puritanical New England
leaders, settled there under this negro cry,
but its eyes are opening. ....

Another stone has been laid upon the
monument of infamy which fanaticism has
raised for itself in Missouri. On the 10th

arrested on three indictments found against
hlm by fanatical Grald. Jury of that
county, for the crime Of preaching the gos-
pei without first having taken the infa-
nous new ConStitltion oath. Mr.. Kenny
is sixty-ope years of age, has been a
preacher of the gospel for forty years, is a
most exemplary man and christian. and
one of the most learned and eloquent di-
vines in the country. The brutality OF
the officer arresting him is in keeping with
the character of the charge. Mr.. Kenny
was arrested at his house, after sunset, and,
