noria under The third eestion, and for the
court, upon Bis convictions to pTonounce
the penalty oil disgualifcstion. N
He argued furfkar that the leaning OF
all courts is against constructive repeal,
and il by any possibility seemingly IRE
concilable fstatutes can be made to stand
together, one shall not be allowed to repeal
another. amendment and-the pre-
yious enactments were reconcilable.
Another argument advanced by Mr..
Beach was that if the third section of the
amendment was construed as substituting q
new punishment, repeating the acts Of 1890
and 1862, it would, being constitutional
provision, preclude Congress from prescri-
bing any other punishment for engaging in
rebellion and giving aid and comfort to the
enemy. Such o position was untenable.
His last argument was that the defend
ant was indicted for treason, and that
that offence and the offence for which
the disqualification is pronounced are
not identical. The former consisted in
levying war against the United States,
and the latter consisted in taking
an oath to support the Constitution Of the
United States, and subsequently, engaging
in rebellion. So that q new punishment is
not prescribed for treason in the constitu-
tional amendment, and therefore the acts
already in force prescribing the penalty
for that crime are not superseded.
General Wells followed the District At
torney in behalf of the Government. Two
indictments against Jefferson Davis had,
he said, been found. In those indictments
various overt acts had been named, but the
offence named in the third section of the con-
stitutional amendment was not mentioned,
though it could have been. How was there
repugnance between the amendment and
the acts of 1890 and 1862, if the offences
named in each were not identical? A gen.
eral statute will not repeal particular
provision of previous statute unless the
acts are entirely irreconcilable. The con-
stitutionel amendment does not touch the
crime of treason at all-does not attempt to
define it, nor to prescribe new penalty
but only says that, having superadded
to treason the enormity of violating
an oath to support the Constitution OF
the United States,x man shall be
disqualified from holding certain State and
Federal Offices. There is no positive repug-
nance here, such as repeal by implication
requires. I6 Peters, 342; Blackstone,
459 Wallace, Jr., 1858; Crabbe's report,
1856; l Blatchford, 609.)
Governor Wells read at length from Sedg-
wick on constitutional law to prove the po-
sitions just taken, combining himself entirely
to the question whether the third section
Of the fourteenth constitutional amendment
and the acts of 1890 and 1852 were incon-
sistent.
At 8 o'clock, adjourned, it being under
stood that the argument would be resumed
at 10 o'clock this morning, when Mr.. Dana
will speak for the Government after
which, Mr.. O'Conor will close for the de-
PENDANT.

Philadelphia having utterly neglected the
poor convict-though twenty-five Thousand
of her people are petitioning for the par
don of negro convict-New York takes
care that the world shall know that she is
out for HESTER VAUGHAN. a great meet
