Ex- 1t seems probable that Jefferson
Davis will be released from imprisonment
on parole; those importuning for his
parole allege that there is no disposition
in Congress to perfect the necessary leg
islation, so as to organize the U. S. Court
at Richmond in which to try him. They
contend that he is as much entitled to
parole as were Stephens and Mallory.
Under and after the Presidents Peace
Proclamation, he can only be tried in the
Civil Courts. The day Of Military Com
missions has passed.

Veto not Sustained.


The manifestly unjust exclusion OF
Mr.. Stockton from his seat in the Senate
has begun to bear fruit. The requisite
twO-thirds was, by this infamous act, Sc
cured, and the country is told, in omin-
Gus tones, that fanaticism is the strong
er element in the Republic We are tru-
ly panied to announce this result to our
readers, not only because it is defeat of
the policy of the President in part, but
because the action is rife with danger to
the Government. If Congress can para
lize the Executive arm, and manage the
government according to their plan, then
We shall not be astonishcd at anything.
Bigotry can easily pull down a govern
ment-it cannot build one upon stable
foundation Its mission is anarchy and
destruction, it has no fellowship with or
der and justice The "two thirds who
voted not to sustain the veto Of the Civil
Rights Bill have proclaimed to the Ma
ton that justice and fair play have fed
the halls of Congress, and reason no
longer rules their councils. The duplic-
ity and disgraceful conduct of Mr.. Nor
rill in voting, after pairing off with Mr..
Wright, is fully worthy Of puritan and
fanatic, The world should fully under.
stand the depth of villainy to which this
creature, Morrill,, has descended in order
to appease the wrath of his monitor,
Sumner. Such an abdication of the seat
OF manhood as he has been guilty of in
this matter is almost without parallel.
That one can have so little honesty and
tirmness, or so much duplicty and mean
ness as to declare in the face of the world
that he does not feel the sense of honor
and has no respect for pledges, would be
astonishing to a person who had no
knowledge of the Radicals or the class of
God-forsaken beings who make up the
party. Such conduct, however, should
not surprise one who knows them, for it
is in perfect keeping with their history.
What blessing would oblivion be to
this man Morrill,; but no; this boon can
not be his. 1t will be his lot to be re-
membered by all as one who belongs to
the class of infamous beings. He must
live on and on, bearing his heavy burden
Of disgrace, which will only increase by
lapse of time, and be left heritage to
his children. When such depravity can
hold q seat in our halls of Congress, what
blessings can we hope for from Him who
knoweth no evil How can we be SO
sanguine as to hope for glory to our
country? How can we expect our good
fame to be mtarnished, and need we
wonder at the expulsion of rational
man and gentleman like Stockton, and
at the passage of the +" Civil Rights in
iquity.

eEc. Gen. SpRAGUE Assistant Commission
er of the Bureau of Freedmen for Arkansas,
has been in our city for the past week, on
business connected with this department.
We learn that rations will not be issued after
this month. "
In connection with this natter of drawing
rations. we might as well make correction.
We stated, in recent number of our paper
that Capt. England had refused to cross. at
his ferry, the refugees going % Fort Smith to
draw rations; in this statement we were in
error. Although the Captain had at that time
decided to stopcrossing thom unless they paid,
yet the helpless and destitute condition of Tie
poor women and children that day after day
thronged the banks at the landing, appealed
to his sympatllies the generous disposition of
his heart would not allow him to refuse them /:
and he has crossed them all. early and late,
ever since the Bureau was established: some
days not less than twenty or thirty wagons
or carts, together with foot passengers innu-
merable crossed on his boat without cost II
seems to us that there is no good reason why
he should not have at least some little rune
ration for his labor. The Government does
not ask or expect that any man will work for
it without just and liberal compensation
and we feel confident that if once brought to
the notice OF the officer having charge of the
Department., that satisfactory pay for past
ana future transportation will be allowed.
There Is no man in this community more
ready to lend helping hand to the destitute
and distressed than is Capt England; but it
is not hardly doing justice to his family or
himself to ask him to do all.

DEAR DrNnAM: The grand Fenian ball
came OFF at the Anthony House, last week. 1t
passed of with more than ordinary Irish har-
mony. The Head Centre put n lady out OF
doors for some cause, have not heard what.
She threatened to whip him. etc. n black
smith was elected, also, for not being
properly clad, like the man that was caught
without Il wedding garment, in Scripture. All
this | have from hearsay, rs did not attend.
Circuit Court has been in session for some
time. The lawyers are reaping harvests of
promissory notes.
Visitors and invalids are passing daily to
the Hot Springs. Many black-legs have gone
out to prepare for the approaching money.
The accommodations are said to be tolcrable.
Many will take tents, and dwell like the pa
triarchs, in them. This was the CUSTOM at an
early day at the Springs. Then nearly all the
sufferers got twell. They lived on game, took
exercise. hunted and otherwise managed to
get along without buggies. carriages, oysters,
champagne sllppcrs. etc.
Bostick. Griffith & Co., have received a por-
tion of their large stock Of dry-goods, and
will open In u few days. Their selection will,
doubtless prove the best in the city. Mr..
Griffith has purchased property, and is now
one of our citizens.
Gen. Pike has gone to Washington to at
tend to business.
Col. Brooks has been pardoned. This,ncws
will be gratifying to his thousands of friends.

knowing that he had only done his duty as a
gallant soldier. The Colonelwa in town the

The passage Of the Civil Rights bill has
crushed the hopes of millions of patriots 1t
was cold-blOOded announcement of their de-
termination to submerge the South in the mire
of obloquy. 1t is but an earnest of greater
and continuous shame. We had thought that
blood and submission would have appeased
the wrath of our foes. But it seems that more
than wrath actuates them.
In looking at the faces of friends or at the
familiar landscape around MS, we forget. for a
moment, the condition we are in. We imap-
inc we breathe the air of liberty. as we
once did. We stand. like the fabled sufferer
of old, pcrislling with thirst whe1tloo were
yelling to his very lips. We do but initiate
him in his essays to drink when we Weld to

to come. We shall weep at the mention of
