Everything of political character reach

as the MONDAY sun that the Radical lead

farthest extreme, regardless of the Consti-

IN anarchy and civil war. OF such tenn

granting the right of suffrage TO an in

rose above barbarism in their own native

The Impeachment Speculation.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Express, alluding to the $4,000
contribution lately made up, in Wall street,
10 induce the infamous ASHLEY to intro
duce and press his impeachment resolution,
says, "the intention is purely a speculative
one. Ii is quite possible, as reported, that
there are creatures here ready TO speculate
upon such subject, as there are politicians
in Washington eager TO prosecute the ven
ture. The one act from 4 purely selfish
standpoint, and the other from sheer hate or
indifference to the peace and prosperity of
the country. Both ought to be regarded,
by those who look well TO the present and
future of the country, as public enemies. If
they are nothing more than this, we are
sure they are nothing less"

Hi1.c1HnT-

CbfcludT.
In reply to letters received at these headquar-
tiers, asking information as to the operation in
particular cases of General Orders No. 10, current
series from these headquarters, am directed by
the commanding general to state that the previs-
ions of the order will be interpreted and enforced
by the courts. The order is to be deemed and
taken as an ordinance having the sanction and
authority of the United States for the regulation
of certain civil affairs therein specified within so
much of the territory occupied by the military
forces of the United States, lately the theatre of
war, as is embraced within the second military
district created by act of Congress.
Although some of the former political relations
of the inhabitants in allegiance, their private
relations, their persons and property, and their
remedies for wrongs remain as heretofore, within
the cognZance of the local tribunals, and subject
to the laws of the provisional government hitherto
in force, except far such laws are in conflict
with the Constitution and laws of the United
States, or with the regulations prescribed by the
commanding general. -.-...
Amongst the consequences necessarily incident
to the military authority established by Congress-
and indispensable to the objects for which the
authority is established, is the appointment and
control of the civil agents by whom and measures
by which the government Gd interim is to be con-
| Quoted. In the exercise of this authority, such
regulations and appointments will be announ-
ced from time to time as may become neces-
sary; and so far as these regulations concern the
ordinary civil relations of the inhabitants, they
will be administered by the courts and by the
proper civil officers in the usual course of pro-
cedure. -,.-. ........ s. So,
Whilst it will not be convenient to respond to
particular inquiries made by citizens as to the
! Interpretation and application of these regula-
tions, such interrogatories will be answered when
addressed to the general commanding by the ap.
