10th: 4
As stated IN Wednesdays Express, ID
day was the time appointed to hear argu
ment upon an application made by Gen
Butler to remove three suits brought agains
him in this court to the United States Cir
Icuit, on the ground that the acts for whicl
he is sued were committed under Che colo
of his authority as United States Genera
commanding department. The counse
opposed gave the history Of esch case, ii
follows:
Siebricht VS. Butler. This Was q suit "a
recover little over two hundred dollars
for repairs furnished to the Generals house
in st. Charles street, New Orleans. This
amount, he said, the General agreed to pay
BY letting Siebricht take furniture from the
house Of DR.. Campbell but this furniture
turned out TO be furniture that had original.
" belonged to Siebicht, seized by Butler.
Honeywell ys. Butler. The complaint
and papers in this suit showed that Butter
compelled plaintiff to charter the steamer
Carlotta to his brothers partner at $50 per
diem that the yesse! was tta,ien charter eeaa
to the government at $3.50 per diem that
subsequently she was run on q private
voyage BY Butler, after which he compelled
plaintiff to take 5000 for the vessel.
thotgh She was worth $4,000, and bis
brother and partner received $4,000 ftum
the government for her.
Kearny VS.. Butler. Plaintiff was 4 trader
10 naval stores in New Orleans, and he al
leges that Butler compelled him to give his
brother $4,000 worth Of naval stores.
which was paid in Confederate notes Of
$1,000 only, but which notes Butler himself
had previously prohibited from being put in
circulation.
After the stores were delivered Buffers
brother consigned them to Boston, where
they were sold and the proceeds remitted to
Butler. Mr.. Choate remarked il this case
that Butler had acted contrary to his own
proclamation, in which be prohibited plun.

Mr.. Twill, IN behalf Of the General, CON.
tended that the Court had no discretion ID
the matter, and the moment the petition
was filed, as required BY the act Of 1866,
the cause was "of course removed to
the Federal Courts.
The Court took the papers and reserved

wise reiicencc appears to mark President
Johnson's career in the South which is plea
sanity at variance with the garrulity which
characterized his great swing around the circle
in the West. Since his entry into North Caro-
lima he has spoken little, and that little was
not inappropriate to the occasion. In this he
has taken our .advice, ard we hope he will
continue to follow it. We might define his
addresses as o mixture Of sentiment with
little spice OF egotism, very harmless and very
natural but he has not offended the moral
sense OF any parry, nor thrown down the gaunt-
let of defiance to Congress, or any one else, as
in his unfortunate railroad platform speeches
on his journey round the circle via Chicago.
This is all the more commcndable, not to say
curious, as he has Dir. Seward fer travelling
companion on this, as on the formcr tour.

Justice for the Sewing women.

We have more than once protested against tie
system Of injustice by which the class of sewing
women and girls were oppressed, and we are
glad to observe that an example has been
made in one case of this Kind by the Court Of
Special Sessions In this instance the employer
who swindled the poor work girls, and was
justly sent to the Penitentiary was woman,
and is thus, probably, more culpable: for SYM
palhy alone should have debarrcd her from
practising cruel imposition on the friendless
girls who were the victims of her cupidity. We
hope that justice will ovcrtake many others OF
like character, moving probably In q higher
commercial sphere and defrauding the poor to
q greater extent than Mrs Meyers There is
no class in The community more worthy OF pro-
lection than the poor, industrious sewing
women. Their labor is harder and their
remuneration less in proportion than any other
class Of our laboring population while they
are principally widows struggling TO sup
port large families, or young girls working

Tho CITY Railroads and. tho Corporate Az
thorifies.
Itrppears by the ANIMAL report of the Police
Commissioners that daring the past twelve
months there have been nearlyvtwenty-
thousand complaints preferred against the city
railroads, not one Of which was prosecuted by
the Corporation Attorney. Under such cir
cumstances 1t is no wonder that the picking of
pockets and assaults on passengers should
continue on the increase. We might Is we'll
be without any police IF the arrests which they
Toswhat influences the fact is attributable we
aran0t informed by the report, and are left to
infer them. As far IS the responsibility of
them is concerned, however, we know where
il nes II is the Mayors business to see that
his sabordinates attend properly to their
duties, and If he were attentive to his he
would not have been ignorant Of the existence
of so extraordinary state Of things The
manner in which justice is administered in this
city would be incredible to those who are
unfamiliar with is operations. We give in
another column statement from a correspond
emit which offers striking exampliAcation of
il, and which may serve to account for the
Indifference manifested in regard to the prose-
cution of the eraployes of wealthy companies.
The case is that of four men, three Of them
well known offenders, who were taken up for
burglary, the evidences Of which were found
on their persons. An Indictment was found
against them by the Grand Jury; but they
were allowed to plead guilty to an attempt to
commit burglary in the third degree, and
sentence was suspended. Three of these men
have been arrested a number Of times on
similar charges, and now they are again set
free to repeat their offences. Of course life
and property can never be considered secure
while such shings are permitted.

The co Hmunisasion we Published on Tuesday

piece~of evidence that our police is useless for

The Homicide at Albany-Ifs Lesson to the
Convention.

The Homicide at Albany-Its Lesson to the
Convcutioa.
The terrible event with which the Consitu-
tional Convention has commenced its session
at the State capital may not be without its
benefits to that body. if properly considered.
Before the work OF the Convention has fairly
commenced one of lis members is shot dead
at his hotel, in the public reading room, by
soldier who has won distinction In The war, for
the alleged offence of violating the purity of
the wife of the latter while he was absent
fighting the battles Of his county. How much
truth there may be in the statement of the
survivor we do not know but the fact of the
assassination i, sufficient to establish bis entire
belief in his story; for otherwise there could
be no possible cause for his act OF vengeance.
TIE point for the Convention to consider-and
which is brought fearfuly home to them by this
events the insecurity OF human life in the
present condition Of tho laws. What is the
reason Of this, and where the remedy Is it to
be traced to the prevailing conviction in
the public mind that the laws are
little better than dead letters in certain cases,
and that under our present system il is next to
impossible to bring men Of position and iatlu-
encc to punishment Do men set themselves
| up as the judges of their own wrongs and
become their own avengers, simply because OF
| the facility with which one class OF offenders
| escapes the penalties of the law9 And If 80,
| where are we to look for the foundation
! of the evil In what manner are we 10 eradi-
| cate IL
These are the questions which the fate Of one
of their prominent associates should force upon
the serious consideration of the Convention.
Let them inquire how far the system of making
the Judges Of all our courts, civil and criminal,
high and low, depend for their positions upon
the good will or caprices OF politicians and
partisans tends TO render the administration oil
Justice mockery and sham and goads mer
on to the crime Of assassination. Let then
reflect whether the same evil does not enabl,
morbid sehtimentalists and philanthropists e
protect reckless and unjustifable assassination
from the penalty of murder and render human
life doubly insecure. The lesson has com,

younger than themselves. Over THESE people
the shelter OF the law should be cast In the
fullest measure ~



From the time that Mr.. Campbell lost his way
on the road to the seat of the republican gov
ernwent Of Mexico our affairs with that coun-
try have been going on from bad to worse.
The great questions which are now springing
up bet yleen the two countries have as yet no
representative on hand to grasp them at their
inception and give them proper shape, and In
consequence, when we do succeed in getting .
minister TO- Mexico, every thing win be in an in
extricabls "a ngle, which can only be united as
Alexander untied the Gordian knot This
expenditure 10 support Mr.. Campbell Is very
unnatural and after time foreign nations
will accuse aspf having indirectly recognized
the Southeru sonfederacy by sending . resi-
dent minister 70 New Orleans. It is time Mr..
Seward took SKiae matter in hand, and If he has
at length withdrawn all the indirect influence
he has been using to support the Imperial
cause of che Mexican retrogrades let him now
make amends to- We republicanism Of the new
world by giving a. little help to the liberal
party, who will d6ubtle@ receive all Of his
overtures OF reconciliation for what they are
worth, well Knowing. that the old man is in his
dotage, end really haysnot, in his dealings with
Mexico or any Spani.sh American country, re-
presented the good sBrEe Of the United States.
Ms. Campbell, unfortunately for our Mexican
interests, cannotbe removed except by action
of Congress bat ne miglst be invited to resign
by Mr.. Seward, or else be offered position
which his peculiar talents would enable him TO
fll 10 more advantage TO himself and less dis
advantage to the country. Let US have new
appointment for the place, Of some man who
will not be mere CLERK of the State Depart
ment, but one who understands Mexico, its
people, their requirements as well as ours, the
language, and something of. the intricate ques-
tiUns which have, during the French interview
ton, sprung up between' American citi-
zens and the Mexican authorities; for these
reGifc far longer experience and greater
diplomatic tact than ler. Campbell possesses to
settle them. We are, moreover, well advised
that Mr. Campbell would now be very dis
agreeable to the Mexican government, were he
to proceed on his m.wion. His action on the
Rio Grande while :here led the Mexican people
TO forms very poor ooinion of him, while his
correspondence with Hscobedo did not tend to
strengthen his position 1t is, moreover, sup
posed that his sympa: hies have lately been
strongly enlisted in behalf. of tile imycrialists;
and thisl of itself, were there NO other reasons,
wouldrender his position in Mexico exceedingly
uncomfortable. Undes. any circumstances,
however, let us have a minister to Mexico, to
our suffering interests there If Mr..
Campbell shows his good sense he will resign.
If he will not resign and yet cannot be
removed, let him proceed Immediately 70 his
post, as the next shortest way to new appoint
ment for position that requires our best
talent
