From Washington.

WASHINGTON, June 14:-Samuel Han
son, formerly Clerk in the Confederate
Post Office Department, committed sui
eide to-day. Want of employment and
reduced circumstances was the cause.
The Star asserts that the votes of the
more conservative Union men were OBJ
tained for the constitutional amendment
by pledge from their radical colleagues
that no action shall be taken during the
present session upon the bills reported
from the Joint Committee on Reconstruc-
tion. This virtually refers the whole mat
ter to the people.
There was considerable excitement on
the steps in front of the Capitol to-day.
Rosseau, who had o rattan in his hand,
approached Grinnell, and said he had
waited several days for him to apologize
for the outrageous assault made onhim in
debate. Grinnell said, 1 have no apology
to make. Rosseau thereupon caned him,
Grinnell making no resistance whatever.
When Rosseau had finished the fagalla.
ton, Grinnell merely said, cit is all
right" and the parties separated.

over, and erect the gallows and the prison
for those we thus treated, is simply COW
ardly and cruel inconsistency.
We should have done to Jefferson Da-
Wis long ago what we did to General Lee
and his military compeers-released him
upon parole, and considered the matter
dismissed. Such conduct would have
been worthy of great and magnanimous
people. It would have shown that we,
in one respect at least, deserved the VIC
tory we had won, and that we had the
wisdom to appreciate the true character
of the struggle and to profit by it. The
sooner the President performs this act of
justice the better for his own reputation
and that of the country. None but the
bloodthirsty and the cowardly desire the
further prosecution of Jefferson Davis.
The shrewd among the Radicals do not
want an issue that they considered de.
cided by the war to go again before and
to be subjected to the arbitrament OF
jury. In other words, to sink great
national struggle down to the dimensions
Of criminal trial, by whose results they
cannot possibly strengthen their position.
The Chief Justice of the Uuited States,
who, before he occupied his present posi-
ton taught the doctrine upon which MIR.
Davis acted, viz: the right Of State to
secede, has shirked the trial He has in
vented excuses to prevent it, for he
knows, as we all know, that it would be
worse than q shameful farce. The coun-
try wants not an exciting and irritating
trial to open old sores-wounds-but it
needs general and universal amnesty
for all men.

True Words.

Tho people Of the United States, says
the Boston Post, have been educated in
the ideas of personal liberty and States
rights, as limited and regulated by the
National Constitution. Schemes for tho
consolidation Of political power in CEN
tral government, and plans for the abridg-
ment of individual freedom, cannot, there
foro, long be countenanced or tolerated
by the American people. Andno portion
of them would be moro hostile to policy
which would abridge the rights of the
States, and restrain the liberty of the citi-
zen, than the people of the New England
States with whom these schemes of con-
solidation originated, and who have now
become their most jealous advocates.
What State would be more restless and
rebellious if Congress were to interfere
with her domestic concerns-were to
attempt to regulate the elective franchise,
interfere with her school system, dictate
the manner in which she should conduct
her religious worship, or even meddlc
with their liquor laws than the people of
Massachusetts And what people would
be moro indignant if their personal rights
and liberties were encroachedu Such
invasions of public and private rights by
the Central Government would in the end
fail, because they are against the spirit of
our institutions, and offend the ideas on
which the American people have been
educated. All such attempts to coerce
and regulate the affairs of the people OF
the South will ultimately fail, and will
recoil in the shape of the odium which
they will engender upon their authors
and projectors.
Our system is complex, and yet its prin-
ciples are we'll understood by the people.
1t comprises one great Central Govern
ment moving like the sun in tho solar
system, on an orbit clearly defined, and
extending its protection and its benef
cence to all; and system of States, like
our planets and their attendants satellites
moving in orbits as clearly defined; both
Independent of each other in their re-
spective spheres Of action and both COM
bining to make one grand and harmoni-
GUS whole To attempt to change tho
relations of the States with the Central
Government to give them powers abso-
lutely sovereign and equal to the Euro.
pean Government has been tried, and
most signally failed. The attempt to OBJ
literate the States, and merge them all in
the Central Government, will be equally
abortive. 1t would be like arresting the
planets in their revolutions, and hurting
them back into the sun. 1t would involve
the destruction of the system, and the ne
cessity of new creation.

THERE IS NO DEATH.

There is no death The stars 60 down
To rise upon some fairer shore;
And bright in Heavens jeweled crown
They shine forevermore.
There is no death The dust We tread
Shall change beneath the summer showers
To golden grain or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorganize
To feed the hungry moss they bear;
The forest leaves drink daily lite
From out the viewless air.
There is no death The leaves may fall,
The flowers may fade and pass away
They only wait, through wintry hours,
The coming of the May.
There is no death An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread:
He bears our best loved things away.
And then we call them dead"
he leaves our hearts all desolate--
He plucks our fairest sweetest Aovefal
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice whose joyous tones
Made glad this scene of sin and strife,
Sings now in everlasting song
Amid the tree of life.
And where he sees smile too bright,
Or hearts too pure for taint and vico,
He bears it to that world of light
To dwell in Paradise.
Born into that undying life,
They leave US but to come again;
With joy we welcome them-the same,
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near US, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread;
For oil the boundless universe
Is life-there arc no dead.

RIvER NGws.-A letter received bv f. G.
Duncan, Esq, Of this city, from Capt. E.
Carleton, Of the Bannock City, bearing date
Of "St. Louis, Jan. 2Oth.' gives the follow
| ing items in relation to the damages recent
ly done to the shipping at that city during
the recent ice gorge:
The Bannock City is safe. She did not
get hurt any during the late move of the
ice. should have had her on the dock $
this morning had it not turned so cold last
night. The river is full of running ice, and
tow boats can do nothing. The Mollie Nc
Pike is also safe, and is lying Oh the Illinois
shore, opposite the st. Louis Arsenal, with
the Bannock City. The damages to both
the above boats are pretty extensive, al
though their hulls are but slightly injured,
both OF them being minus wheel, shalt, cyl
inder, tinbers, pitmans, guards of on both
sides, etc.
The Diadem is sunk, and said to be to-
tai loss. The Reserve is also total loss. -
She lies about fourteen miles below this
city in gorge Of ice. The water is over
her lower deck abt ut two feet, and there is
about twelve feet Of water all around her
The ico under her keeps her from sinking
any deeper.
