Reputation.

The following is al extract from Gov
ernor Pierpont's message to the Legisla-
ture. The Governor is discussing the stay
law of Virginia, and adds :
have been panied to hear that many well in
formed men, in different parts of the State. have
been discussing the subject Of repudiating. in
whole OF in part, private debts The discussion
OF this subject can be only productive of evil it
tends to weaken the sense of moral obligation and
destroy COL tidence between the members of the
community. The charge against any man that he
mad refused to pay his just individual debts
whilst he retained large amount of real and per-
sonal estate would be offensive; yet the object seems
to be to secure the passage of general law to JUS
t1y private reputation. But this is all impossible
You cannot pass any law to impair the obligation
of contracts. Devices have been resorted to in 9TH
er States to shield property from sale by having
the property should sell for onc-half or two-thrds
of the valuation. These laws have all been de-
clared unconstitutional by the highest courts of
the United States All laws that have for their OBJ
ject the postponement Of the collection of debts
are odious to creditors and it is doubtful how far
law would be sustained by the courts that ex-
empted specified amounts of real and personal
property from execution for debts contracted be-
fore the passage of the law and there is danger
In passing stay laws that look to long postpone
ments OF executions, that they may be construed
by the courts to come under the constitutional
prohbltlon against impairing the obligation for
contracts.
Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1866-12-13

The following is the closing paragraph
of column editorial in the New York
Herald of the Sd instant, headed " The
Meeting of Congress-"
''There is no sign as yet Of purpose among the
radicals to try the extreme measure of the Presi-
dents impe achment. nor do fear any great
evils to the country from this squabble
the Presidents patronage. 1t may result in SO
pruning down the Executive Office in the matter
OF the spoils as to relieve 1t to vast extent OF
those appliances of party corruption which, since
the time of General Jackson, have more or less
controlled all our Presidential elections Here,
indeed is a great field for refOrm-a field III which
the most acceptable and the best work may be
done in the publication of our whole political sys-
tenn. In conclusion we fear no disastrous con-
sequences to the country from the reasscmDling
of Congress, not even in the proposed reconstruc-
tions of the present pernicious system of dispon-
sing the spois. We only hope that the revision
will be broader and deeper than the superficial
changes proposed by Mr.. Stevens, so that our
Presidential elections will cease to be a game of
party gamblers for the spOils in the Presidents
hands"
Verify, the signs Of the times begin to
show that the pruning knife is having its
edge put ON. The proceedings of Congress
on Tuesday, as telegraphed to the Press
and published yesterday morning, leave
but little doubt that the radicals will COM
pletely ignore the Constitution of the
Union, and leave the President with the
mere name without power to do anything
If the programme projected by Sumner,
Stevens and others, should be carried out,
the Executive of the Nation will be mere
machine to do the bidding Of fanaticism,
hatred and revenge towards tie South

The Tribune on MIR. Davis.

Notwithstanding Greeley's monomania
on the subject of universal suffrage, his
mind still has its lucid intervals, as fshown
in the following extract from the Tribune
of 30th ult
g I am for Universal Amnesty-so far as
immunity from fear of punishment or con
fscation is concerned-even though I'm
partial Suffrage should for the present be
resisted and defeated. I did think it de
slrable that Jefferson Davis should DO ar
raigned and tried for treason and it still
seems to me that this might properly have
been done many months ago. But it was
not done then and now I believe it would
result in far more evil than good. 1t would
rekindle passions that have nearly burned
out or been hushed to sleep; it would fear
fully convulse' and agitate the South it
would arrest the progress of reconciliation
and kindly feeling there it would cost Il
large sum directly and q far larger indi-
rectly and-unless the jury were scanda-
lousy packed-it would result in non
agreement or no verdict. L can imagine
no good end to be subserved by such a trial,
