is before the country strange contrast in tins
respective positions Of two well known men.
The President of the United States Is on his
trial for grave offences against the law, and
the President of the Confederate States goes
free. Had the confederacy triumphed, had
New York been burned instead Of Charleston,
had the Northern people been put down and
the Congress that sat at Richmond been de-
clared the Congress Of the country, we might
have expected such spectacle. We might
then have expected that Mr.. Davis would be
not only free but honored, as he is by the very
men who are now pushing forward the trial
of the President of the Northern people, and
that this latter would be covered with all the
contumely of epithet and be brought up for
trial; but who could have anticipated that such
spectacle would follow the triumph Of IT,
armies of the North? Mr.. Davis was the
Moloch Of the struggle, as was supposed, ana
he cannot be tried. The Chief Justice is never
ready, nothing is ever ready, and the culprit
is at large meanwhile on a bail bond signed BY
radical leaders. And the same men, the same
radical ranters, cannot find terms fierce enough
to hound on the trial of the President OF
the United States. Strange that one mans
offences-off that the people cannot Soc
should seem so great to the radicals! Strange
that the other mans offences-offences that
the people can never shut from their eyes
should seem 30 little to the same radicals It
would be stranger than all, however, If party
SO little in sympathy with popular views should
long have the confidence of the country.

English cousins coming to their senses.
What will Mr.. Seward do in the premises is a
question which our English friends will naturally
be asking themselves What can he do? Mr..
Seward, we fear, must no longer be taken into
account. Events are marching rapidly with
us, and there is every reason to believe that
Mr. Seward will soon be under the necessity of
retiring to his retreat at Auburn, there to
reflect at leisure on the great drama in which
he has played not an insignificant part. Ben
Wade and his troop of strong-minded women
will soon be masters of the situation; and
then, unless we greatly mistake, this difficulty
with Great Britain will assume much more
serious character. The men who have been
bold and daring enough to proceed to the last
extremity in domestic questions are little
likely to halt or hesitate at the comparatively
paltry difficulty Of a foreign war. Having
swallowed the camel there Is but small
chance that they will strain at the gnat We
are in the midst of a dangerous revolution /;
the Jacobins are In the ascendant, and, as all
history shows, they are not the men to sacrifice
place and power by adopting a cautious or
temporizng policy. War with England, with
France, with the world, will be welcome, II it
only promise to prolong their lease of power.
Il is for this reason more than for any other
that we would advise Great Britain to get this
Alabama difficulty off her hands at once.
To the radicals, with Ben Wade as President,
and his strong minded women installed In
Office, a foreign war would be Godsend.

A CURIOUS DIVORCE ECLGIRCISsE
MEHT

A curious matrimonial affair has Just
transpirsd in Brooklyn; the parties are
not in high life nor known to fame, but
their history is nevertheless interesting
Ten years ago couple, recently married,
moved from Boston to the City Of
Churches, where the husband set up in
business, and prospered His business
at his Office was better than at home, for
his married life was unhappy, and, about
five years ago, the parties managed to
secure divorce They gradually lost
trace of each other, and during the past
year, each of them married, and each 10 a
person who had been divorced. The two
husbands were thrown together, and a
few weeks ago, the one who had married
the divorced woman, invited the other
home to dinner Imagine the embarrass,
ment when the happy husband intro'
duced his wife to his friend. Both were
too well bred to have a scene, and so the
dinner passed of somewhat frigidly, but
with no actual unpleasantnsss.
The recipient of the dining courtesy in
Vited the other to go home with him sOor
after and partake of a family dinner, little
thinking, as it happened, that he was t.
return the compliment in every particu'
lar. 1t turned out that each had married
the divorced spouse of the other, and j
was more satisfactory to them to know
that each was entirely pleased with tn
arrangement So much for the intrica
cies of matrimOny.

former youth and grace. She was subse'

her piercing cries and heartrendiDg groans
piercing the cool night air. 1t was thought
scarcely possible that she could survive
