A Washington telegram places the ex-
penses of the war department for the fiscal
year at from $l20, 100000 to $l5O,OOO,OO
This is a substantial sum total for a nation
that pretends to be at profound peace with
all mankind.
People who are struggling with financial
depression who are weighed down with tax
es; who are dealing in deprecated curren-
cy, viii learn with some degree of indigna-
ton that the government will, in the pres
ent year, and without war-cloud on the no
rizon, spend, for war purposes alone, about
three times the entire amount required for
running per annum the United States gov
eminent under Buchanan's administration.
Is not this radical whistle an expensive in
strument? A democratic administration
conducted the whole government at a cost
per year for ordinary expenditures of $50,
00O, 900, and of $66,0O0,000 for every thing
A radical administration, without the shadow
or pretence of a war, will spend for war pur
poses alone $150,O00,000i
| This is one of the ripe fruits ofthe radical
| ism that now rules the country. 1t is only 6
singls specimen there are numberless 9th
| ers Just like it. Every other Departmental
| produce results equally astounding. In five
/ years, if radicalism does not bankrupt the
| government and the country, it will be ow
ing to change of administration or Pro
| yidential interposition.

Disloyalty in Illinois.

Two judges in Illinois, whose loyalty has
never hitherto been doubted, have recently
committed serious and atrocious acts of dis
loyalty.
This is grave accusation. 1t is one,
nevertheless, which is sustained by the facts.
The facts are, that the governors of New
York and Pennsylvania both loyal Office
holders) recently made acquisitions upon the
governor of Illinois for the surrender of GER
tain fugitives from justice who had taken
refuge in this state. The governor of Hi
nois is also loyal man. He therefore re-
spected the acquisitions of his loyal brothers,
and issued his warrant for the apprehension
of the said fugitives. One of them was
found and arrested in Chicago. Judge
Gary, of the superior court, issued the writ
of habeas corpus, commanding the officer to
bring the body of the prisoner before him,
and show by what authority he deprived him
of his freedom. The respondent produced
the governors warrant. Judge Gary said 1t
| was not enough; he must know upon what
| evidence and by what right the govern or OF
Illinois issued such warrant. Thereupon,
copy of the requisition from the governor
of New York was produced. Judge Gary
said it did not, in his opinion, Justify the &C
ton taken by the governor of Illinois, and he

at liberty.
The other fugitive was arrested in Mclean
county, and similar proceedings. with a like
decision, were taken by a loyal judge in the
city of Bloomington.
Now, if this be not disloyalty-gross, un
mitigated and objectionable disloyalty-
what, in the nature of things, can it be? /
is totally at variance with every practice anC
| eyery precedent established by LOYALTY, since
| loyalty has had control in state and nationa
affairs. Judge Gary and the Bloomington
judge have always heretofore been looked
upon, reverently, as loyal judges. What i
the country coming to when judicial func
tionaries, elected on the basis of loyalty, 81

headquarters at Savanna. Mr.. Cotton has

THE MOBILE RIOT.

We think our neighbor, of the Union, will
have to lecture the New York Times. 1t is one
of its own party papers, and, speaking of the
late riot at Mobile, referring to the course
of Judge Kelley and other of it's own party
speakers, it says:
But is it just or expedient to make the pos
session of an unquestioned right an excuse
for language which would anywhere tend to
create disturbance? Even in New York,
where freedom of speech is enjoyed to its
furthest limit orators sometimes find that it
is not pleasant or profitable to handy threats
with the DULLES of a crowd. Gen Butler I'M
dertsok to do it with Five Points rowdies in
the City Hall Park, and was pelted for his
pains. Was that denial of free speech or
piece of rufianism which had it's extenua-
ton in the violence and bad taste of the
speaker? Whatever the precise
nature of the disturbance may prove to be,
we apprehend that there can be no doubt as
to the general tendency of an agitation con-
Quoted i'll the temper which marks the ultra
radical emissaries in the south. Setting aside
the adventures and hirelings of the Hunnicutt
stamp, and conceding to speakers in Judge
Kelleys position entire integrity of purpose,
the mischievous bearing of his course is
scarcely open to controversy. His mission
is not mission of peace, but of war. He
does not seek to allay irritation, to oblitsrate
prejudices, to rectify misconceptions, to es-
tablish friendly relations between the races,
to promote the success of the measures ofre-
construction by indicating their reasonable
ness and necessity. The effects, and apparent
| ly the aims, of his labors are of the opposite
| character. He increases irritation wherever
he goes; he arrays section against section
| and race against race he encourages expec
| tations which can only be fulfilled by re-
| newal of strife, and demands which can be
| satisfied only at the cost of anarchy.
