A GREAT MAN.

LAWRENCE, of Ohio, is making rep
utation in Congress. He is miserable
because JEFFERSON DAVIS cannot b'
tried and executed for treason. The
act Of Congress of l779 limits treason
prosecutions to three years after the
commission Of the offense He says an
act was passed July II, 1862, for the
punishment of those engaged in rebel
lion; and in CHArMAx's treason trial
Ia San Francisco, in October, 1868,
Justice FIELD decided that since that
statute of July. 1862, acts Ct treason
could only be punished by fine and i'm
prisonment. He denies the correctness
of the decision. He thinks it compe-
tent for Congress to repeal the three
years limitation, and it will be done,
no doubt This is the man who peck
eted three thousand dollars extra last
session out Of the treasury, and now las
a proposition before the House to re-
peal the act by which he and his brother
members each got that sum. In debate,
when asked why be took the money, he
replied that he did it because he had
t" taken an oath to support the Constitu-
Iisn." If he does not pile up a national
reputation, no one else need try.

that before the close of the present year
war will rage on the continent In such

that bis designs on Consiantinople would

fact is assured, that if the war is iualgu-

THE sUpRgME COURT.

Having rendered the Executive De
partment Of the Government powerless,
except to protest, the Jacobins Of Con
gress and the North are pointing their
guns at the Supreme Court, and appear
resolved on the destruction OF the only
remaining department of the Govern
ment-the Judicial. Having reduced
one fortress, they concentrate their
forces for an assault on the other. The
storming column is already in motion,
the drums are beating, the flies are
screaming, and the heavy, thunderous
noise of the onset is heard afar. Woe
to us, to the country, when the ermine of
Justice shall be draggled in the reeking
mire Of the partisan highway! When
this shall have been accomplished, the
Constitution itself will lie dead at the
feet of the nation. 1t is against
that that the war is waged. The
reduction of the Supreme Court COM
pletes the conquest, and remands. us to
the chaotic mercy of an irresponsible,
illegal and despotic body of men, styling
themselves the American Congress. In
the MrLLEeAN case, the majority Of the
court say "the Constitution is law
for rulers and people, equally in war and
peace, and covers with the shield of its
protection all classes Of men, at all times
and under all circumstances; and no
doctrine involving more pernicious con-
SEQUENCES was ever invented by the wit
of MIN than that any of the provisions
can be suspended during any of the great
exigencies Of the Government Such
a doctrine leads directly to anarchy
and despotism, and the theory OF
necessity, on which it is based, is
false" This language is an i'm
peachment Of Congress and the admin
istration of President LINCOLN. During
the war the Constitution was nearly sus-
pended. Congress was supreme, and
history, when the pen that writes 1t
shall be free from passion, prejudice and
partisanship, win record the fact that the
late President was incapable of defend
inc the Constitution. With all his anna
BILE qualities, he was incompetent to steer
Che old ship through Constitutional
waters, but allowed her to drift upon the
