A colored man called a day or two
since, at the Second Auditors Office
in Washington, and made application
for his sons bounty, who, he said, had
served in the army and had "died Of
strangulation." The clerk, whose du-
ty it is TO attend TO these cases, re-
fcrred to the record of the regiment
named, and there ascertained that
the son in question had actually died
Of strangulation, being changed for
murder" per sentence Of court-mar-
tial. II is needless to say that no
bounty was granted.

fNC RfffifitCf.'
The editor Of the Bchclontc Pres,
like the loyaliats aud cowboys Of the
Revolution, dcnounccs everything and
everybody as "rchcls7 who fail or
refuse to worship at the shrine Of
negro equality and disunion. In clas-
sing tho Republican as among the
"rohel Sheets he assigns us no mean
position, and We accept the situation.
This is just what King Georges lick
spittles called Washington and all the
heroes of the Revolution. During
the war for Independence the people
were classified as ncw-rebel and
loyal. The latter were the hired
minions Of the English satraps, and
went sneaking and mousing in and
around peoples houses for the purpose
of reporting all "disloyal sayings and
practices plotting British soldiers to
their abodes in order TO arrest the
"disloyal," and furnishing beef to
the British army, when the soldiers
and Indians were scalping our grand
fathers, while the "rebels' gained for
us liberty and independence. Tho
lineage Of the Press editor and his
loyal associates is quite as plain and
distinct in 1866 as in l776. They are
the twin relics Of treason against gov
ernment and race, and hate Constitu-
tional government as vohcmenCy as
the Devil does the christian religion.
They opposed free government in
l776, and they oppose it now. What
was loyalty then is loyalty now. They
are children born of the same parent
-despotism.
These remarks are somewhat gen
eral, while we have left the particular
point in the case to be met by our
"Meek" friend Of the IVdtchmdn, who
seems to be personally acquainted
with the loyal soul who presides over
the columns of the Press. He
deals as familiarity with him as though
he were a member OF his household,
and we doubt not produces a perfect
picture Of modern loyalist, and to
the historical reader IL will appear as
plain as the sun at MONDAY. Hear
him:
THE DIFFERENCE. The editor OF
the Mongrel organ down town in at
tempting TO be sharp, says, "Meek
might yet kiss negro wenches, in or
der to secure negro ballots" We do
not pretend to say what might OF
what mightn't be, but one thing VIC
are certain OF, and that's, that "Meek'
never sold himself for the poor priyi-
loge of publishing a niggor organ
never played "loyal" in order to get
"quartermastership;" never fed sol
diers on musty crackers, and specula
ted on the good ones that were iuten.
ded for them; never sold good coffee
and pocketed the proceeds, and give
to the men under him burnt bran and
all kinds oftruck to drink in its stead
never disposed of the good whiskey
to officers who could pay high price.
for it, and gave to the privates for
whom it was intended, the meanesi
kind of strichnine; never traded the
good beef his men were entitled to
for bad, in order to pocket the differ
ence or never attempted TO hug a
drunken wench in the streets, and gel
bciouled all over. Did he, brother
Kurtz? Then, the difference between
You and Meek is, that he might yet do
some mean act, while you hare already

GEORGE b. GoopLANpER. Editor.
Jefferson Darts.

This gentleman has, after coniine-
ment of over two years, been releas-
ed. On the 1st instant Chief Justice
Chase, of the Supreme Court, issued
a writ of hdbeaS corpus, and delivered
it to the United States Marshal, who
was ordered to proceed to Fortress
Monroe and demand the release Of
Mr.. Davis. The Marshal at once
served the writ on Gen. Burton, COM
mandant Of the Fort, who in compli-
ance with its demands delivered Mr..
Davis to the civil authorities, and he
at once proceeded to Richmond. His
entry into that city would have been
brilliant affair had not the military
authorities issued strict orders pre-
venting the citizens from appearing
on the streets in large numbers, and
that no demonstration Of any kind
would be tolerated. But for this his
return to Richmond would have been
as triumphant as that of Cesar when
he returned to Rome after his grand
est victory. Mr.. Davis was, on Mon
day last, arraigned before the notori-
ous Judge Underwood in the Circuit
Court at Richmond, and after some
remarks by Charles O'Connor and the
U. S. District Attorney, be was deliv-
cred to the Court in accordance with
the writ. The Court then discharged
Mr.. Davis from military arrest, but
at once ordered him arrested on n
warrant charging him with treason.
After few remarks from his counsel
and the Court, his bail was fixed at
one hundred thousand dollars, to be
given by not less than twenty bonds
men, half of whom must reside within
the jurisdiction of the Court. The
bond was promptly filed, Horace
Greeley becoming one of the bonds
men; whereupon the Court ordered
the discharge of the prisoner. This
was followed by loud cheering, and
oil the streets leading to the Court
House were filled with citizens, dense
crowds moving in every direction,
making it almost impossible for Mr..
Davis and his friends to reach the
Spottswood hotel, where they repair
ed, accompanied by Mr. Greeley
Horace having done great deal in
getting the "machine" out of order, is
at Iength willing to do all he can in
getting it in order again. lie is one
of many of his party leaders hoLest
enough to confess his transgressions.
Mr.. Davis and his family win in few
days repair to Niagara Falls.

The "Govcrnmcnt detectivcs0 last

The Government detectives" last
week arrested squad of counterfeit
ers in the Oil Regions. This raid is
similar to the one made by them in
Western New York, three months
ago. The fact seems to be that the
arrests do not decrease the counter
felt circulation. This is a part Of the
seed sown by the party controlled by
"grand moral ideas" and while they
continue in power the sheaves will be
counterfeit, because the leaders of the
party are made out of the samo stuff,
and they live by it, as well as the

LOYAL HoMAGE.-The Philadelphia
Age says: civilian Lloyd Garrison,
ga lifelong enemy of the Union, and
"reviler of the Constitution, sailed
from Boston for Europe on the Sth,
and the telegraph informs us that
ga salute was fired from the cutter
and school ship in honor of the dis
"tinguished passenger as the steamer
"went down the harbor. We take
these to be United States vessels,
"and would ask what act Of Mr. Gar
"rison's life entitled him to such at
tentiony Why should nation pay
honor to q man who has labored TO
destroy that bond of union between
:" the States on which the national
life depends p This journal should
bear in mind that those who have
reviled Washington, Jefferson and
their eo-workers the most, are the
men who to-day receive the praise of
those who govern the subjects Of the
late Republic, but now Africanized
Poland. True patriotism and deyo-
tion TO liberty is at a worse discount
than even Chase's greenbacks. This
man Garrison is an unnaturalized
Englishman, and for twenty-five years
edited the Boston Liberator, and kept
for that time the following notices
at the head Of his journal: "The Uni
ted States Constitution is covenant
with death and an agreement with
hell "No Union with Shareholders. Z"
He is the only original and genuine
loyalist we know of in this country /;
he is no bastard, like those who pirate
30 much about that article. He hates
and despises cur system OF govern
ment as vehemenuy as the Devil does
the christian religion, and is therefore
well qualified to bo leader of the
negro-loying and Union hating party,
and the "sslutes" and prayers of his
brethren will go out after him.

UNDERwooD.-The New York Ddy
Book, in speaking of this imitator of
Jefries in small way, says:
"Of all the degraded specimens Of
humanity who have come TO the sur
face during the late civil strife, Judge"
Underwood, OF Virginia, is perhaps
the most disgusting If Abe Lincoln
had committed no other oifeuse in this
life than the appointment of this
brainless creature, his memory ought
to bo forever abhorred. In his late
"charge TO the Grand Jury" so-called,
at Richmond, he indulged in language
that would have disgraccd the fish
market For years this "Yankee
sehool-mastcr' lounged about the city,
too lazy to work, or even keep clean,
pretending to be "an exile" and now
dressed with n little authority, he
puffs up well nigh 20 bursting, with
big words and sounding phrases, Of
which he has not brains enough 70
comprehend the meaning. lie and
Bolts are well matched Bolts is the
foreman of q Grand Jury, of which
Underwood is the Justice, with Eve
niggers to boot But what crime, in
Gods name, have these negroes com.
mitted, that they should be disgraced
by such association Z"
