This man Mitchell is a professional traitor,
and his reasonable efforts in Ireland appear
to have been prompted more by an inclina-
ton to be in arms against law and order than
any desire to benefit his country. Meagher
and other of the Irish compatriots of Mitchell
proved the sincerity of their love for freedom
and the honesty of their efforts to iberate
Ireland by the patriotic course they
adopted on the breaking out of the
Rebellion in this country. They were
on the side of freedom under all circum-
stances, while Mitchell is a natural outlaw,
and he promptly proclaimed himself a traitor
to the country that had honored him, shell
tered and protected him, and made him one
of its own citizens. One of the most impu-
dent things in his affidavit against General
Dix is his claim to be citizen of the United
States and of the State of New York at the
time of his arrest. If General Dix had
promptly ordered drum-head court-martial,
and had Mitchell hanged for his treason, it
would have been a warning to other of
tenders; and even if the law had to be
stretched little to do it, no one would have
complained except those who deserved like
fate. Such a man as Mitchell is entitled to
no consideration whatever. Like all of
his tribe, he is prompt to appeal to the
law when he thinks its protection will be of
advantage to him, and he is equally ready to
set himself against it whenever it suits his
convenience to do so. The only way to treat
such fellow is as an outlaw, whose hand is
against every man, who has no rights that de-
cent men are bound to respect, and who is
nuisance to society. That such men are
allowed the privilege of bringing suits in the
civil courts is a commentary on the leniency of
the Government towards the traitors who
sought to overthrow it, and it is enough to
make any loyal Americans blood boil with in
dignation to see the brazen impudence of a
foreign-born scamp like Mitchell, as displayed
in this case

A SCANDLNA WAN UNION.

The latest European mail brings the particu-
lars of the recent marriage of Frederick, the
Crown Prince of Denmark, to the Princess
Louise, the only child of Charles XIV, King
of Sweden and Norway The event, it is
said, was made the occasion of great re-
ioicing throughout both kingdoms, and all
the principal scandinavian towns testified
their qualification by sending marriage pre-
sents to the royal couple. At Copenhagen
and Stockholm there were magnificent fetes,
at which the suspicious event was made the
subject of unqualified approval on the part
of the people of both high and low degree.
At the official dinner given at Copenhagen,
Mr.. Founesbock, the Danish Minister of
Finance, delivered speech, in the course of
which he said:-
'What gives the ministers right to the seats they
occupy is their hearty sympathy with the cause not
only OF Denmark, but of Scandinavia, cause for
which they zealously labor. hope the kings of the
North will always know how to understand the
signs of the times. Ine present government,
especially, treats Denmark forming part Of Scan
dinavia."
These sentences give the skey-note to the
popular sentiment of both countries which is
manifestly in favor of the union, at the ear
liest practicable moment, of all the Scandina-
Wan countries Prince Frederick being the
heir apparent to the throne of Denmark, and
the Princess Louise the only child of the King
of Sweden and Norway, the event of their
marriage renders the consummation of this
union extremely probable. The three Scan
dinavian countries would make very respec-
tably sized nationality, when united, the area
and population of each being as follows

IT is, we believe, now definitely understood
that special meeting of Councils is to be
held on next Monday. We may console our
selves with the old maxim, ''Better late than
never, but as the pressure of the water-fam
inc was seriously felt on Saturday last, and as
the citizens are now obliged to husband their
resources in the most parsimonious manner,
it is deeply to be regretted that the Councils
were not summoned last Monday instead of
Monday next. 1t may be asked what can
they do when they are assembled. They
could at least have learned the full extent of
the danger incurred by the present system,
while the evidences of it were painfully ap-
parent. They could have decided between
conflicting plans, and granted extraordinary
powers to those who are expected to cone
with extraordinary difficulties. Besides. as
nothing but heavy rains can prevent serious
water-famine in the portions of the citv sun
pied by the Paramount reservoir, they could
have adopted special ordinance applicable
to the occasion, restricting under severe
penalties the use of water. BY next Mon
day we shall know the worst and it is to be
hoped that rain will then have tided us over
the present dificulty-last Monday efficient
assistance might have been needed.

OBITUARY..


Yesterday morning, at his temporary residence in
this city, Professor Charles Dexter Cleveland gen.
tleman and a scholar well known not only in this
community and country, but the SEAS died so
suddenly of heart disease that neither a physician,
his sons, nor daughters were by his bedside when
his spirit took its fight. The deceased was the
Of Rev. Charles Cleveland of Boston, and was born
in the town of Salem, Mass on the Sd of December,
1902 His early life was passed in the counting
house, as mercantile pursuits were intended to be
his but in 1929 moved by the promptings of a taste
for literature he forsook the desk and betook him
self to schOlas tic studies. -Four years subsequently
he graduated with honor at Dartmouth College He
had peculiar aptness for the classics, and his
knowledge of Greek and Latin was unsurpassed.
In three years from the time he left college he was
elected Professor Of Latin and Greek at Dickinson
College, and afterwards called to the Latin chair
Of the University of New York. In 1884 he removed
to this city, and here established school for young
ladies, which met with great success Failing health
compelled his REIMBURSEMENT of this pursuit, and
President Lincoln rendered him the appointment of
Consul at Cardiff, in Wales. He remained several
years at that port, but not improving in health, he
resigned his position and returned here. Afterwards
he passed year at lfraCombe, in England, reaching
this city again but brief while before his death.
He was voluminous author, and his works all be-
came celebrated. Besides numerous textbooks pre-
pared almost exclusively for the of his school, he
edited an edition OF the works OF John Milton COM
piled several valuable cOmpendiums OF literature
| including two of English authors, one from the
earliest writings in our language to the beginning Of
the nineteenth century-the second devoted to the
present century exclusively. He also prepared a
| compendium of American literature and translated
the best specimens of the authors of Greece and
Rome for the benefit of readers unacquainted with
Greek and Latin

FROM TURNER BROTHERS & co. we have received
Appleton's Journal for August IS. The readers of
this journal will not be very sorry to see that Victor
Hugos romance is drawing to a close. AS story
for popular periodical it is decided failure, not
withstandng its great merits in some respects. The
other articles are interesting, but the engraVings,
particularly the frontispiece, entitled "The Warrior
