him to trial the first year.
The trial Of Davis was party matter,
and the bailing OF him was party qu0s-
ton. The bniling of him by Greeley
would have bad effect on the Repubh-

law, suggested-only a question OF party.
If the interest of the party would be best
promoted by liberating the prisoner, he
should be liberated; but if otherwise, he
should be hanged. This is the backbone
of the Jacsbn party.

THE TIMES WE LIVE IN.

The scent Of the rose will perish upon
the breeze, while foul odor will per-
wade the atmosphere and traverse It's
currents for months. When good
man is wounded, nine cases out oil ten
he dies. If villain is wounded how
ever desperately, he generally manages
TO recover. In race between truth
and lie, the latter will beat the former
to the given point and not half try.
A SANDER will travel further in an hour
than the report of good action will
travel in a month. The Black Crock
will attract more visitors than the ehast'
est play, or the divinest opera. A vol
lev of oaths will be remembered when TIE
most eloquent sermon is quite forgotten.
The profane remark of Henry Ward
Beeeher. at the commencement Of one Of
his sermons, that it was damned hot
morning" will live longer than the best
passage in all his discourses. A dog
fight will attract larger crowd than
baptismal ceremony or the perform nce
of marriage right
The deduction from all this is evident
Society is divided, and the strength is
with the vicious. Vice is more attrac-
two than virtue. Sin pays better than
religion, and the machinery of society is
creased with and run by--money. Gold
or greenbacks, or both, afford the means
of gratifying the appetite. Appetite
is like a plant - it must be tend
ed. Tended, it grows, bears fruit,
controls the morals, leads the col
umns of vice, storms reason, captures
religion and plants the red banner of
crime on the ramparts of society. The
pulpit makes a gallant defense, but the
odds arc on the other side. The word"
that was, at one period of our history,
never doubted, is now questioned and
repudiated. If it be true, the world is
flocking to hell, for neither governments
nor men regard it Our own city is
deeply involved in the general depravi-
ty. We talk Of amelioration when muir
der and all the crimes that blacken our
records move scowling and defiant
through our streets The law is too
,oeqk 10 punish crime The monster,
mounted on impunity, takes the coun-
try by storm. Government, supposed
to be instituted for the protection of
right, lends itself to the service of
wrong. The scoundrels are in the as
cendant. They know their power, and
do not fail to profit by their knowledge.
They are found Ia the State, in the
church-everywhere The war is ear
neat. bnt is unequal God only knows
the end. Let the pulpit drop abstract
and go to war against living,
breathing enemy.

POLITICAL CRIME.

Henry S Fitch, United States Aiior-

out all disfranchisemeni, and reinstates

rights, which he cannot be deprived of
by any subsequent legislation. he says

THE ISSUE sHARPENED.

It is demonstrated at Washington that
while the Fortieth Congress exists, the
people of the South can have no repre-
sentation. If Kentucky, State already
in the Union, cannot gain admission,
what chance is there for any Southern
State held by bayonets2 1t appears
that, in the case of Kentucky, even
taking the Congressional oath, is not
sufficient to entitle member to his seat.
His personal loyalty must be inquired
into. We are glad that the issue has
been made so pointedly in the case of
Kentucky. We wish to see the ques'
ton fought out on that line. In the de-
bate on the resolution, in reply to Lo-
gan
Mr.. Brooks opposed the resolution.
He said the gentleman from Illinois had
proclaimed principles in violation Of
existing laws and of the Constitution.
Kentucky has ever been loyal to the
Union; has been represented hers during
the war, by the members Of the various
parties 1t is only now when she sends
members all Of one party that an at
Tempt is made to disfranchise her. There
is n revolution and there is feeling
among the people of the North which
will not submit to such revolutions. No
fighting will be done in the tented field;
no transfer of the contest from the ballot
box to the beyonet, but here on the floor
Of the House, the Democracy Of the
North will reappear and join with the
Democracy of the South, and ofthe West,
and will be heard when this Congress
shall be no longer rump parliament,
unless it is made so by the party Of the
gentleman from Illinois.
That's it-that's the way the Conser-
natives should talk, and their actions
should correspond with their words. A
trump Parliament" called so to its face,
20 its eyes, to its ears, to its nose, to its
mouth and to its nostrils-very good in.
deed. Let them expel Brooks-they did
expel him once; he invites them to repeat
the measure. He relies on the ballot box
Fortunately for them, the people of the
North are not yet deprived of that safe
guard of public and individual liberty
They can form their own opinions freely,
and vote them out freely. They are not
chained as we are in the South. In the
North the great battle that shall deter
mine the fate of the South, will be fought
We can do little. The ranks are form
ing, and all the preparation incident to
a great conflict, is going on. 1t is proper
that it should turn on Kentucky. She
was composed of two elements during
the war. She was half Union and half
secession, but her government was
Union, and she was represented in Con-
eress throughout the struggle. Now let
ahe country see if the Union element
shall be excluded from representation
because there is a rebel element The
question of reconstruction is progressive.
If the loyal State of Kentucky cannot
gain admission to Congress, what chance
have the military districts Of the South ?
We are rejoiced that Congress met on
Wednesday. It has compacied the Dem
ocraey, because it has assumed to deal
with loyal State as it has done with q
disloyal province.
