Arbitrary Arrests During the War.

On Thursday last in the United States
court in session in Covington, case was
decided involving very important prin-
clple. The case was that of X. NJ Car
Isle rs. NJ. HightOwer-a suit for damages
for false imprisonment. In the terrible
days OF 1864, when bayOnets ruled Ken
lucky, X. NJ. Carlisle, a well-known citizen
OF kenton county, a quiet, just, and law
abiding man, well advanced in years, was
arrested by q squad of soldiers at his home,
hurried off to Louisville, there confined
in filthy military prison, and only re-
leased finally upon the payment of 81 900.
The verdict was for the defendant, and
based in accordance with the instructions
of the court, upon the fact that HightoWer,
in making the arrest, acted under instruc-
tions from Gen. Burbridge, his superior,
then in command in Kentucky. Had Gen.
Burbridge been made a party to the suit,
we suppose he could have produced an or
der from Gen. Somebody his superior
or from Secretary Stanton or Secretary
Seward. And so there is no practical re-
dress in our courts for so grieyous an out
rage as that put upon Mr. r. NJ Carlisle
1t will be recollected, says the COvington
Journal, that number of prominent citi-
zens OF kenton county were arrested at
the same time, and in the same way, with
Mr.. Carlisle. There is good ground for
the belief that the list of names was made
out here in Covington to crafty party
malice, and sent to Gen. Burbridge, who
thereupon ordered the arrests. After
these gentlemen were placed in the mill
tary prison at Louisville the affair was
turned into money making business. At
first hints were thrown out that the pris-
oners could release themselves by paying
accrtain sum of money and then the open,
shameless proposition was directly made
by military officers in command. Nearly
all the prisoners did pay out. OF course
the Government never got cent of this
money, and the citizens of Kentucky, who
were the victims of this malice, this false
imprisonment, and this robbery, can get
no redress EouisciUe Courier.

Wendell Phillips has been of the
opinion that the status of the negro in this
country will not be properly established
until we have black Vice-President and
plentiful sprinkling Of Ethiopians in
Congress. The eloquent and polished
Sumner has been, and probably is, of the
same mind.
Those gentlemen had an excellent op-
portunity to work for the practical APP
plication of their theories by taking hold
of the case of Menard, the negro claim
ing a seat in the House from Louisiana.
They did not take hold of the case of
Menard. He was stranger and without
money in Washington. Sumner and the
men engaged in the interests of God and
humanity in Congress did not call on
him. They did not lend him money, with
out which he could not prosecute his claim
to seat.
1t may be said he was not entitled to a
scat How could this be ascertained when
he was not granted a hearing? He was
starved out. He was driven away by neg
lect and contemptuous treatment. The
Jacobins in Congress are determined that
they will not have "nigger among
them. They care nothing about right OF
law when a seat is contested. Not many
days ago, this charge was made by the
senior Jacobin newspaper concern in this
city-Chicdgo Times 7h.

The Amnesty Proclamation.

Something more than half OF the Sen
atOrs of the United States want to know
where the President of the United States
got his authority to issue the late procla-
nation of amnesty. 4 resolution making
inquiry into the matter passed the Senate
on Tuesday. Senators Ferry and Howard
took the lead in the business, and said
they thought the President could not law
fully grant amnesty in the sweeping
way" he had assumed in the proclama-
tion.
December S, 1868, President Lincoln
issued proclamation of amnesty, declar-
ing that all persons complying with GER
tain conditions therein prescribed were
granted "a full pardon, with restoration
of all rights OF property" He had as
much authority to grant one without con-
ditions.
The pardoning power by general procla-
nation has been exercised several times
since the commencement of the war. aud
this is the first instance in which either
branch of Congress has iDtimated doubt
that tie authority of the President in the
premises was absolute and unlimited. No
such doubt exists now in the minds of
Howard and Ferry or the Senators voting
for the resolution. 1t was introduced and
passed as measure of spite against the
President, and, as such, it was a small
business = ErchdD1e

The Government allows the whis-
ky thieves to steal hundreds of millions
and then removes few of the female
clerks in the.-departments and calls it
economy.
The increase In the public debt dur
ing the year.. 1863 was about $30,OO0,O ,O0O
This is rather an unpleasant showing :
but, taking "a Mark Tapley view of the
situation, we can derive the slight consola-
ton that the debt as it now exists is so
prOdigious that, even at the present rate
of increase, it will take eighty years to
double it.
of resumption, Ben.ssButler says
There is no doubt that the way to re-
sumo is to resume; but can you do it !?
The way to get well is to get WE'LL but
can you do it? The way to jump over the
moon is to do it, but can you do it? |
hold that resumption is an impossibility
at present"
The Louisiana negro, Menard, who
claims seat in Congress. has been OBJ
liged to leave Washington on account O
jmpecuDiosity. The Freedmen's Bureau
furnishes him "deadhead" transportation
to his home,-this being the only recogni-
ton he has received from the Radicals
The rights OF man" appear to be less in
vogue than they were short time since
and Menard has now discovered that there
is some difference between theory and
practice
The Radicals have endeavored to
make it appear, in regard to the Ogeechee
troubles, that the whites were the only
parties to blame. The correctness of their
allegations in this regard may be inferred
from the fact that sixty-seven of their in
nOcent negroes were brought into Savan-
nah, as prisoners, by q guard of United
States troops. Federal soldiers in the
South, under the, command of Radical
officers, are not in the habit of making
wholesale arrests of Ethiopians sguiltless
of all ofense.
The attempt to gratifys Radical ven
geance with little more blood letting, by
hanging the poor wretch John Ii. Surratt,
has been finally abandoned The cause of
this result is remarkable. 1t is stated that
the witnesses upon whose testimony the
former indictment of Surratt was otained,
upon being again brought before the
Grand Jury, refused to repeat the testi-
mony given by them npon the former
trial. The most important of these wit
nesses was negress, who swore that
Surratt was in the city on the night of
the assassination, and that she served him
with supper at his mothers house. This
witness not only refused to repeat her
former testimony, but denied any and all
knowledge of Surrstt's whereabouts on
that evening
Now, the question arises, where these
witnesses suborned to testify falsely |:
And if so, who was the person guilty of
subornation of perjury in order to crafty
the Jacobin cry for blood? What did
Mr.. Benjamin F. Butler mean when he
said to the gorgeous Bingham that he
(Butler) had not the blood of an inno-
cent woman upon his conscience ?-Ec-
change.

An Unsuccessful Attempt at English.

Ferrin, the landlord of the Westminster
Hotel in New York, is not often nonpluss-
ed, but last August diaper little French
man staggered him for a moment Walk
ing up to the office, he accosted Ferrin
with:
"If you please, Monsieur, you shall send
bill de fire in my room"
"a what" said Ferrin, looking at the
thermometer which indicated 92 degrees.
Il wish bill de fire in my apartment"
repeated the Frenchman.
"All right, sir" said Ferrin, with that
outward imperturbability with which the
true hotel keeper receives an order for any
thing, If it be gold dust pudding with dia-
mOnd plumbs. John fire in ten thous-
and and one"
yes, su-r-r." said John, and by the
time the Frenchman had arrived at his
room, John, with perspiration pouring off
him, had the crate filled and the blaze roar

Grant.
Grant had heard that the militia was in.
dustriously pursuing such little pastimes
as we have named above, and he sent a
man named Horace Porter, who signs A.
ID. G. at the end of his name, to Arkansas,
to inquire into the nature of the cambols
of the militia. Just before Porter got to
the scene of action, the militia bad Just
for the fun of the thing" taken five men
out into the woods and shot them to
death.
Horace Porter, A. D. c., has made a
report concerning the militia. From this
report it appears:
First-The gangs are acting under the
authority of the Governor.
Second-In seven counties of the State
martial law is declared
Third-The gangs are ordered Ito live
off the country"
Fourth-1n the eastern counties, the
force is composed entirely of negroes.
Fifth-The Governor "could seldom Sc
cure good men for officers"
Sixth-The gangs are ordered to try
by military courts, in cases where they
may deem it necessary.
There is not statement made above
with regard to the character of the militia
which does not appear in the report

CIaytOn's Militia.

For several weeks, gangs of white and
black criminals and desperadoes have been
roaming through Arkansas, and have
committed murders, arsons, rapes, thefts
and almost every crime known to the law.
They are called militia. They are ordered
to travel through the State and engage In
such business as the above by one Clay
ton, man who styles himself Governor,
and acts as such by virtue of an .event
dubbed an election held under the recon
struction infamy. This man Clayton is a
carpet bagger, and went down to Arkan-
sas to "engage in the interests of God and
humanity" In this he was assisted by
United States Senator Rice, from that
State, man who is alleged to have taken
money belonging to another man, spent it
at the gaming-table, and then fled from

EDMUND ABOUT says, in his " Old Time
Recollections," that, in 1s49, he was SO
poor that he was about to accept a clerk
ship in Lyons silk house and bid fare
well to literature. A timely loan of two
hundred francs, however, enabled him to
finish novel, for which publisher paid
him five hundred francs, and this success
encouraged him so much that he thought
he would try literary life little longer.
In the following year, he says, he earned
one thousand francs with his pen, and
thought that was doing exceedingly well.
His income is now never less than fifty
thousand francs year, and he has great
many more orders from publishers than
he is able to FILL

PAcKARD's Monthly relates The print
ers who formerly stuck type at the side of
Horace Greeley, have died out of the office.
Horace. himself though practical print
er, rarely visits the composing room. The
last time the writer saw him at work in the
composing-room was at 3 O'clock in the
morning following President Lincoln's
election, when he ran his eye over the
type of the New York election table on
the editorial page, and suddenly cried out,
Here, Sam, bring me bodkin, some in
fernal fool has spelled Allegany with an
h." And though the pressmen were i'm

Horace deliberately drew jack knife from

THE Coroner of Louisville the other
day found a family living eight miles from
the city in a miserable hovel, and suffering
from want and misery. The mother of
the family lay dead on a pallet, the fsther
was down with heart disease, one daughter
was nearly dead with consumption, and
five ragged, filthy little children were
wasted by hunger to living skeletons.
The mother had hitherto supported the
family. but died from pneumonia, brought
on by over-exertion and exposure. Ample
relief was supplied at once.
