EoRrHERE TREASON.


1t is sometimes regarded as indis-
creetly and perhaps unjustIy severe to
stignatize certain rebel sympathizers
in the North as traitors. 1t is probably
believed by those who demur to such
use Of terms that treason. consists in
some overt act, and without some such
outward demonstration the crime can,
at most, amount only to misprision Of
treason.
But those who incline to this belief
assuredIy forget the definition of trea-
son as contained in the Constitution Of
the United States. That instrument
declares CART. 8, Sec. 81 that
Treason against the United States
shall consist only in levying war
against them, or in adhering to their
enemies, giving them aid and comfort"
Here we see that treason may consist
in either of two things, viz: 'leYying
war against them" (the U. s. or ain ad-
herring to their enemies, giving them aid
and comfort" The last Of these is quite
sufficient to constitute the crime indie
pendent Of the overt act Of Ievying war.
Now whatever may be the legal ap-
plication of these words &c would be
risk Of reputation for veracity which

IN the very able report of the Senate
Finance Committee, and the accom-
panying funding bill Of Senator Sher-
man, just made public, the country Is
provided with the outlines of a new f.
nanciaI policy. We rejoice that its par
amount aim seems to be an approx
mate return to specie payments which
should be the soul and pole star of everv
financial scheme. 1t farther commends
itself in the firm stand it takes against
legal tender expansion while at the
same time it supersedes Secretary Nc
Culloch's arbitrary, iron-bedstead coer-
cion Of the money market and provides
for it's natural adjustment by the Iegit-
innate and ever-changing demands Of
business. The provision for the mu-
tUal conversion of currency and bonds
is, to be sure, an experimental relief,
but far preferable TO the present despot-
ism of the Treasury. The plan for con-
soIidating the debt in new loan at six
/ per cent. virtually compels the bond
holder to submit to a considerable re-
duction in his profits and would great
1y reduce the interest on the debt. It is
a species of compulsion, however, to
which the creditors of all governments
have been accustomed to submit and is
an easy escape from the wholesale re-
pudiation threatened by the Democracy.
The new loan is in the nature of a new
contract on more favorable terms for
our government to be sure, but repu-
dating none of the stipuIations already
made. Besides, the rate of interest at
the time the new loan becomes negotia-
Bile is not likely to exceed the rate it is
proposed to give. The new bonds are
30 be payable in cola as forty years, but
the option is very properly reserved of
.redeeming them in ten years. That
part of the plan which reserves one per
cent. of the interest on the new loan to
be distributed to the States in proper
ton to population seems merely design
ed to satisfy the idle cIamor for the tax
alton of national securities and we
doubt whether it can accomplish any
other good. The government must af-
ter all tax the people to pay this re-
served interest and in refunding 1t to
the people will only refund it to the
pockets from which it has been taken.
Why not leave it there and at once ne
gotiate loan at five per cent?
The bill will no doubt receive several
amendments before it passes the Sen
ate.

The stupid assertion is sometimes
made that emancipation destroyed say
two thousand millions Of property
What nonsense Regarding the slave
in a ehattel or any other sense the value
Of his labor and his body is not destroy
ed by emancipation but has simply re-
verted to its proper owner. And he is
of far more value to himself and to the
country as free man than as a slave.
Emancipation has simply changed him
from a victim Of perpetual robbery in
30 a producer of wealth and a payer OF
taxes, and in so doing has vastly in
creased the wealth and resources Of the
whole country not even excepting the
late slave-hoIding States.

We take it human nature in Nevada
is pretty much the same as in this local
ity. At least we should judge 50 from
the following which we clip from a pa
per in that States 1--WE were consider
ably amused the other evening, at three
little girls playing among the sage brush
in back yard. Two of them were
making believe keep house a few
yards distant from each other-neigh-
bors as it were. One of them said to
the third little girl There, now Mel
ly, you go to Sarah's house, and stop a
little while and talk, and then you come
back and tell me what she says about
me and then III talk about her then
you go and tell her all say, and then
we'll get mad and don't speak to each
other, just like our mothers do, you
know. o! that'll be such fun"

The Columbus Journals first choice
for the Vice Presidency is J. Lothrop
Motley. the historian, and lately our
representative at the court Of Vienna.
The nation would do itself an unusual
honor by selecting such an accomplish
ed and scholarly gentleman, and dis
tingUished patriot for that Office. If
however the Vice President is to be ta-
ken from the East, there is one other,
preeminent in his combination of ripe
experience in statesmanship- with the
qualities Of q true Christian, an earnest,
honest, able patriot and truly great
man, who deserves suggestion for the
second if not the first place Of honor in
the gift ofthe nation. We refer o Hon.

JEFF. Davis said in one of his speech
es during the war: 'If I were to choose
between the eompanionshipo Of Yankees
and byenas, I should infinitely prefer
the hyenas." Compare with this the
noble sentiment Of Lincoln uttered
about the same time: ssWith malice to-
ward none, with charity for all, with
firmness in the right as God gives Us to
see the right, let MS strive to finish the
work we are in, to bind up the nation
al wounds, and care for him who shall
have borne the battle, and for his
widows and his orphans"
