Is ALABAMA STATE OR A TERRI
TORY THE question of the status of
the Southern States lately in rebellion is
about 10 before the United States Supreme
Court for decision. A man named Jor-
dan was recently brought before the
Federal District Court sitting in Mont
gomcry, Alabama, on a charge of felony,
and having been found guilty was Sen
fenced by Judge Busted to twenty-one
years Imprisonment. His counsel hav.
ing determined to apply TO the Supreme
Court for a writ Of Labeus co5pus, on the
GROUND that Alabama is not a State, but a
territory, and as such Judge Busteed's
District Court had no legal status. The
u.@lter will thus be brought fairly aud
squarcly before the learned Judges Of our
highest judicial tribunal, aud if they will
meet the question openly and render a
plain decision, may expect a solution of
what is now a very complicated political
subject-ENew York Herald.

FRED DoUGLAs.-some Of the radical
papers of New York, are urging the
claims of Fred Douglas, as a proper Rep
resentative for the United States Senate.
Believing him to be a true representative
of their party, We think he should be Sc
lected by the Radicals Of New York.

Capitalization is The decgy ofall repub-
lies. It was so in Greece-it was so in
Rome, and must be so from the nature Of
things. All power tends to concentra-
ton and responsibility. Liberty, like
all virtue, exists by restraints; and des-
potism is nothing but unrestrained, irres.
ponsible power. The Radicals are doing
nothing new. They are in the old track
of despotism, working the downfall Of
free government on this continent.

An editor thus logically nudges his de-

us, wei pay them, and they'll pay you.
and you'll get your money back again"

but that by n compact, under the style and title of

eminent certain definite powers, reserving, each
State to itself, the residuary mass of right to their
self-government; and that whenever the General

has an equal right TO jsdye for Itself as seeH Of ia-

On n occasion, Gen. Lee called Col.
L., one of his staff officers, into his tent,
and commenced debating while Col. L.
wrote. Col L. had in his mouth a pipe,
and was smoking. The General inhaled
the noxious vapor until his patience be-
came exhausted, and then said, "Col. l..
you can retire and send me COL; he
does not smoke" Col. l.. retired, aud in
a few moments Col. - entered, to whom
the General commenced debating, but af-
ter inhaling the atmosphere, of the tent
for a while, he discovered it to be consid-
erably impregnatod, not with the perfume
of roses, but the odious smell of villainous
whiskey, which he could not stand. RE
tire, Col, and send me an officer who
neither drinks nor smokes; / wouldrather
endure the smoke of tobacco than the
smell of whiskey."

SALT YOUR CHIMNEYs.-In building
a chimney, put a quantity of salt into the
mortar with which the interstices of
BRICK are to be laid. The effect will be
that there will never be any accumulation
of sOotin the chimney. The philosophy
is thus stated: The salt in the portion
ofmortar which is exposed, absorbs moist
ule every damp day The SCOT thus be-,
comes damp and falls down the fireplace.
Our readers should remember or preserve
this little piece of valuable information.

The folloging IS the full report Of
Thad's remarks on L%awrenccs' Bill To
hang JEFF. Basis ION . sour apple tree"
in the House Of Representative on the
18th instant.
Mr.. Stevens. Of Pennsylvania, obtained
the floor and said, Dir. Speaker. | APP
preach with gfeat d:strust all bills Of this
kind. which are c~yiieatly brought for
ward for the purpose Of aseertaining how
VIC can convict men whom We cannot con
Wet under laws existing when the crimes
we're committed. | do not believe it be-
comes the nation. | do not believe it is
safe for us to undertake to pass laws by
which we eau or may be able TO punish
men, however guilty, that could not be
punished under the laws existing when
the crimes were committed. Gould We now
change the Constitution so a. 10 change
the place Of the trial Of traitors, 10 say
that the venue might be changed and
that they should be tried By jurors sum
moned from another bailiYickY The
Constitution provides, very carefully, that,
especially in the case OF trcason, the
party charged with that crime must be
tried at tho place where the overt act was
committed, in a district previously asccr-
tanned by law. and by a jury from that
bailiwicf. Now, any law which pro-
fesses TO change that in any respect looks
so much to me like an attempted commit
judicial murder that | have always been
afraid to attempt it. | am afraid that the
traitors in the South, iftried under our
existing Constitution and laws, viii not
one of them be convicted. | should
never attempt to try them for treason
| would try them as belligerents under the
law Of nations aud the laws Of war.
Mr.. Lawrence of Ohio.-We have no
reason to expect 0 fthe Administration any
such trial.
Mr.. Stevens.-I am stating what |
would do if | were the ADMINISTRATION
Laughter Now, although ] would not
discourage trials for treason, l mention
this to show hat | am convinced hat
none of these traitors can ever be %conyic-
ted Of treason under u present Constitu-
ton aud laws; aud yet | would rather let
every man of them 20 unpnnished forever
than to make a law now By which they
could be punished. think our Govern
ment would be endangered in It's future
existence, in its sense of justice, in its
character before the world, by conduct of
that kind more than it would by enduring
the evil. | think the British Govern
ment suffered more frcm its murder of
Russell, although it was done by means
of a court condemning him, than it would
have done had he been suffered to escape.
1t was by just such oontrivances as this
judicial murder was effected and by which
the British Government suffered more
than it would have done by the escape of
forty traitors.
