What nre Our Rlgnts.

The Natinnal hateligencer says that
but few things are more common
than the assertion that the Southern
people have lost all their rights by
rebellion; and the MteNigencer adds:
"They have tho right to live and
to earn wages. They are entitled to
jury trial, to the right of free
speech, to peaceably assemble and
petition for q redress of their griev-
ances. We could not undertake to
deprive them of their fundamental
rights, without proclaiming ourselves
the worst of tyrants. Nay, we could
not undertake to deprive them of
their rights without violating the
organic law Of the nation, the formal
expression Of principles which con-
stitute the national life"
But where is there line in that
instrument which contemplates
forfeiture of rights?' Whence can
we deduce from it any right to direct
any man, whether citizen or foreign
er-whether loyal or disobedient-of
any of his rights, save on conviction
and trial?
We stand by the Constitution Of
the United States If there is any
thing contemplated by that instru-
ment, if there is auy foundation or
principle on which the whole super
structure of American freedom rests,
it is self-government. All govern
ments derive their power from the
assent OF the governed.
This has passed into an axiom !;
but this notion of forfeiture of
rights is utterly destructive Of this
great cardinal doctrine Of the Revo-
luton, cnunciatcd ''in the days
which tried mems souls, and giori-
ously embodied in the immortal work
Of the trainers of our Government.
The IsteUigencc7- lays it down as nm
indisputable maxim, that under our
free Government there is no such
thing as n forfeiture OF the great
rights of American citizenship, save
on conviction of crime.

In the winter of 20, the ave

9th of January, 1867, it was more
than 1000, with every probability of
an Increase
In the last week of December
1868, the number receiving outdoor
parochial relief from the same Union
was 1,974. In the last week of De-
cember 1866, it was 4, $40.
On the 1st of january, 1867, there
were in Poplar alone 9,4S9 persons
receiving parochial and charitable
assistance; the number now is at least
II, 600. If to these are added the
poor OF Limehouse, Shadwell and
Stepney, the total number of poor
receiving parochial and other aid will
exceed $1,000 persons.

FISAScIAL-Thc National MteNi-
gencer, of Saturday, says:
An early effort is to be made in the
House of Representatives to call up
the bill providing for the creation of
a sinking fund, and involving the
Immediate retirement Of the national
bank note circulation. This bill will
occasion considerable debate, as there
are cogent arguments to be presented
on either side of the question of sup
pressing the circulation of these
banks; but the members of the com
mittee in favor of the measure are
confident of success. A strong ma
jority of the committee warmly advo-
cate 1t, and before bringing it for
ward at all, the temper of the House
upon the subject was carefully ascer-
tanned, resulting in a conviction on
the part of the supporters of the bill
that it can be passed without diff
Guilty. These circumstances have
occasioned the visit to Washington
Of number Of representatives of the
national bank interest, for the pur-
pose Of consultation upon the sub
ject.

The Tribune has the following sum
mary Of young Benefits hobnobbine
with royalty: Games and Alfred
were two good boys, who had little
ships, and James ship sailed over the
pond: Alfred was so glad that he
asked James to dinner, and they had
gingerbread. So James offered to
give Alfred his little ship, as proof
that all James countrymen were so
glad Alfred had given him such nice
dinner. But Alfred wouldn' t take the
little ship, because it was too good
for him, and so both boys were glad,
and hoped their families would never
quarrel"

The cypress of Somma, in Lom-
hardy, Italy, is perhaps the Oldest
tree on record. II was known to be
IN existence in the time of Julius
Cesar, fortytwo years before Christ,
and is, therefore, moro than 1000
years old. 1t is 105 feet high and
twenty feet in circumference at one
foot from the ground. Napoleon,
when laying down the plan for his
great road over the Simplon, q por-
ton Of the Alps, diverged from a
straight line to avoid injuring this
tree. The honor Of superior anti
qulty, however, is claimed by some
IN behalf Of the immense md valu-
able tree in Calaveras County, Cali
fornia, which is supposed, from the
number of concentric circles in the
trunk, to be 1896 years old.

the rules adopted by tho car lines
prohibiting their riding inside the
cars, and they insist on riding in the
cars in spite of all opposition. Last
evening this interesting performance
was again enacted on car of the
Fifth and Sixth streets line, at Fifth
and Pine streets. Three colored men
got on the car and took seats inside.
Upon being informed by the conduc-
tor that they were not allowed there,
they insisted that they would stay.
The car was consequently taken off
the track and put on a snow bank.
The colored men sat quite composed
" inside the car, and when we left
they expressed a determination to
stay all night. Probably this IS
new way of obtaining lodgings for
nothing"
