THE GLORIOUS OLD BATTALION.

In the spring Of 1851, fifteen years ago.
there was q great tumult in Nsw Orleans.
The streets were filed with eager and
anxious multitudes; not human being in the
whole city, we'll enough to crawl, but left
everything and hurried to some thoroushfare,
through which the pride and boast Of our cit
izen soldiery, the Battalion Of Washinton
Artillery, was to march before embarking for
virginia-whose historic fields they after
wards illustrated by heroic deeds.
What grand and impressive spectacle they
presented as they marched along amid the
cheers and blessings of the vast throngs that
impeded their progress and wished Them God
speed. How proudly did the hearts Of our
people beat as with firm step and martial
mien our citizen soldiers marched away from
home, from love, from everything-to die, if
need be, for cause that each man felt to be
his own-that was dearer to him than life,
and in which he saw embodied his own and
his country's honor.
How filed with passionate tears the eyes of
mothers when they waved q last "good-bye ;"
their duty, and how fervently the whole city
prayed that ruthless war might spare them
from all harm. They went forth with high
hopes and confident Of success; they returned,
alas with honor unstainei, with crest I'M
daunted, but leaving upon the CORY battle
fields Of old Virginia many Of their bravest
and noblest There was scarcely a
struggle of any importance, from Bull
Run to Appomattox, in which the
Battalion did not participate, and their actions
everywhere at all times we're 50 conspicuously
gallant that they no. only covered themselves
with glory, but reflected unfading luster upon
the State which sent them forth and which
will cherish. forever, grateful and proud MEM
like these brings no disgrace, and not one of
them, looking back upon the dreadful ordeal
Of war through which they passed. but is
glad to think that he did his duty SO nobly
and so well, despite the ending.
What sad and strange memories were stirred
in the hearts of our people Tuesday when the
steady and elastic tramp, tramp Of the glorious
old battalion was heard upon the streets.
What visions Of glory, what spectacles of
horror, what tumultuous memories drifted
through tho minds Of those who witnessed
the parade on Tuesday. There. at the head
of the column, was the gray-haired. martial
and handsome gentleman who has led the
battalion calamity, both in peace and
war; and here and there throughout the line
were faces familiar to and beloved by the
of men who have done their
duty nobly, both in the field and in the role Of
private citizen. The men in the ranks We're not
less admired, for all, or nearly all. moved with
a soldierly precision and all, or nearly ell, had

Attorney General Pferrepont's MS
take.

From tx. Nets Iort Herald.
An obvious rule of propriety restrains us
from commenting on the proceedings Of the
Court at St. Louis during the progress OF
General Babcock' trial, although a journal
published at this distance might, without
disrespect for the Court, indulge in more
freedom than would be proper in the local
newspapers near the scene of the trial. II
General Babcock is innocent all just men
must wish that bis innocence may be vim
dicated, and the press has no more right to
prejudice the jury either against him or for
him.
The duty of standing aloof and refrain
ing from all attempts to influence the trial
one way or the other is equally binding on
the President, the Attorney General and
all officers Of the Government who have no
immediate connection with the trial. They
have no more right to prejudice the case
and attempt to influence the Court, than
the press of the vicinity or the press at a
distance Judging by this sound rule the
course of Attorney-General Pierrepont
seems incapable Of defence, He seems, at
an early stage of the proceedings, to have
mistaken the extent of his authority. The
statute of 1869 takes the prosecution Of
revenue offences quite out of his hands and
gives the Treasury Department complete
| control over them, authorizing it to settle
or com promise cases in the interest of the
Government, and, of course, to exempt
minor offenders as a means OF pro-
curing evidence against the greater criml-
nails who have used them as tools.
It is a common practice with prose
cutting officers to promise lenity to accom-
plces who are willing to turn States evil
dence and whose testimony is indispensable
for the conviction OF their associates. In
apparent defiance Of this sound practice
Attorney General Pierrepont issued, just
previous to the Babcock trial, circular to
the District Attorneys engaged in the prose
cution of the whisky thieves which would
naturally be understood as forbidding the
usual immunity to criminals who consent tc
give testimony against their associates
That circular, if understood in its obvious
sense, would prevent any person from turn
ing States evidence and defeat the ends 0
justice by terrifying witnesses and shutting
their mouths. A thousand newspaper
could not so eaectually interfere with tn
administration Of justice as a threat fror
the Attorney General of the United State
that accomplices who consented to testi1
against their principals shall be rigorousl
e punished on the strength of their own col
t fessions. 1t looks too much as if the A
!; torpey Generals devotion to the wishes
y the President had swayed him to a con
e pliance inconsistent with the duties of h
position and subversive Of one of the ord
h nary means of convicting criminals. If tn
10 was not the intent Of this strange and u
exampled circular it is difficult to ASST
Il apy reason why it was issued at all.

THE NEEDED MAN.

We notice in many Of the New 1ork
papers, the outcropping Of movement ID
favor Of Horatio Seymour for President.
This forbodes no good to the Democracy,
as he l. likely to be pushed By the monied
interest Of New York. In fact, Seymour
is Tilden's altsr ego, and is to be ioist upon
the Democracy, because the hopes Of the
latter are utterly ruined, BY the bitter op-
position to him within his own party;
hence the venerable statesman who made
such a bad run eight years ago, having
meantime undergone, complete course 0
political ossifcation is to be placed in
litter and carried at the head Of the Dem
ocratic army as its chief in the next cam
paien. o no, The Democracy want a
man in the filll vigor Of his manhood, one
Young enough, to accommodate himself to
tie VARYING noeds Of the country; one
}chooied and trained in the principles OF
constitutional law, and with a conscience
t. respect it, and regulate his official con-
duct by it, no matter, what may be the
cJnstqnence.
The times are full of peril, and no man
knows what embroilmentts may arise out
of the Presidential campaign, 50 it is
We want man with power
To move the States with one word;
We want a chief to meet the nour.
And march the masses onward.
II will be acknowledged that we sorely
need such a standard bearer. Where can
he be found? IF one examines the roll .of
named candidates for the Presidency, no
one comes within, the full requirements OF
the Democracy, save and Except Thomas
F. Bavard of our own State.
It is argued that because Delaware has
tenly three electoral votes, that she cannot
dream of presenting the winning candl-
date. This argument is wanting in every
element Of strength. New Hampshire,
relatively of no greater moment in the
Electoral College, gave Franklin Pierce to
the Republic. This precedent destroys
the argument against Delaware the more
so, as the latter presents the strongest man
in the party for the Presidency, while
New Hampshire's son, was to saythe least
only so, 50.
1t must be conceded that Mr.. Bayard
would carry the Southern States solid for
his nomination. Weknow how he ranks in
Pennsylvania in the eastern part of tha,
State he stands first to-day. The vote o.
Mr.. Williams upon the Centennial bill has
riled Pennsylvania, but it is well know
that Mr.. Bayara is in no way responsible
for the course ofour representative. In thu
2 contention of factions in New York it i
f highly probable that he would obtain tn
vote Of that State if 50, no power Q
) combination could prevent his nomina
! ton. If nominated would he be elected
t y es He is a favorite Of fortune; as tn
