CURIOUS THOUGHTS.

Jefferson Davis still fingers in a vii,
prison, and has been there so long tina
his name is rarely mentioned. The
storms of State do not reach him. His
great strife is over, and another that
four years will not end, is upon the
country. All parties in the North, and
the President, agree in banishing him
from the rights of humanity Would il
not form curious record of history
would it not be strange political phe-
nomenon--a wondrous abstract of the
time, that so long as Jefferson Davis
remained in prison, the great American
imbroglio could not be adjusted. There
may be more in this than men think.
There has never been time when Presi-
dent Johnson could not have opened his
prison doors and set him free He did
not, would not, will not do so. There
has never been time when the North
wished to see him discharged. AS to
Imprisonment of the South in the per-
son of its great statesman, there
is the happiest accord. Mr. Davis is
held as prisoner of war for two years
after the proclamation of peace. The
States over which he presided for four
years, the President declares, are in the
Union. All the great leaders are at lib
erty. The Confederacy is a thing of the
past the battle is over, and the grass is
rooted in the breasts of the slain. Why
should solitary man be retained in
dungeon 1t is to make forever odious
those whom President johnson struggles
to restore to political liberty We sub.
NIT, that there is no consistency in this
1t may be that the Radicals derive the
main argument for their military gov
eminent from the continued imprison-
ment of Davis, and we cannot deny that
they reason logically. Why should there
be prisoners of war when there is no
WARP Why should the President strug-
gle with one hand to liberate the South,
and with the other, hold its representa-
tive in PRISON. The Radicals conclude,
of course, that Congress possesses the
same right to- hold the South under mil
itary rule that the President has to hold
its great leader in prison. If he can
punish and render the South odious
through its first citizen, why can they
not punish it Directly Are they not
proceeding ip accord with his policy
The truth is, the continued imprison-
ment of Jefferson Davis, bars the gate of
reconciliation The South, in his per-
son, is made criminal by the President.
Congress makes criminals of all the
Southern people. We may be called
upon to record the fact that when the
prisoner emerged to the light of liberty,
the South came forth from her bondage.

REASON VS.. PASSION,

The contest between the President and
Congress is contest between reason
and passion. He is cool, and surveys
affairs with the clear vision of logician,
deducing from their complication the
final results that will follow the execution
OF variant policies. On the other hand,
Congress acts from passion, binding
passion, and looks at the condition OIL
tie country with reference to party
ascendency, and the amount of punish.
ment not estimated by what the South
may deserve, but by what it can endure.
Johnson's purpose is to harmonic the
two peoples, restore ancient. form, spirit
and fraternity. That of Congress is to
enslave one part of the country, and en-
rich the other Tell us, We immortal
gods, which shall triumph, reason or
passion

BREEZE IN A CAUCUS.

1t is generally known to the country
that the United States is governed by q
caucus. The Radical majority in Con-
gress originate their measures there, and
then force them through both houses. In
late caucus on the impeachment ques-
ton, quite breeze sprung up. The
most interesting controversy was one
between Bingham and Butler, Bingham
advocating the continuance of the mat
ter in the hands of the Judiciary Com
mittee, when Butler interrupted him to
know if he (Bingham) was not opposed
to impeachment in any event.
Bingham said he would answer this
insolent question by asking one that was
more pertinent, whether Butler was not
in favor of impeaehing johnson first and
trying him afterwards
Butler again took the floor in opposi-
ton to the Judiciary Committee, and
abiding to what he intimated was the
determination to seport against impoach-
ment He said that when the enemies
of the Government brought forth their
bantling there would be nobody to nurse
it.
Bingham came back at Butler in fine
style, asking him if he Butler was the
embodiment Of all that was wise and
patriotic, and all that was learned and
legal in the Congress of the United States.
Bingham went on until he was called to
order for his allusion to Buffers DOM
ineering insolence in a new member Of
Congress.
Logan sustained Butler, bat the result
was an overwhelming defeat Of both, in

matter stay with the Judiciary

nounced to Congress that the act will be

Should the President refuse, the matter
would not be remedied. He would be

scouid execute the law through the most
violent officers to be found in the army.
If Mr.. Johnson shall appoint the Eve

THE EXPECT.

The New York World says. Armed
occupation Of great country, once be-
gun, is not easily or speedily ended,
even when the Government that orders
it is ever so little disposed to multiply the
complications which are to prevent its
withdrawal. The hour has come at which
our Polands and Irelands are to be
erected, but who can foresee the day
when they will be transformed back
again into States of this Union ? That
day is purposely postponed beyond the
next Presidential election. A Radical
triumph in that election will postpone it
indefinitely.
