1t is needless to add that these be

doubtless echo the sentiments Of the

WHEN during the war Of the rebel
lion, every soldier boy used to sing
"We'n hang Jef Davis on a sour
apple tree" no sane man thought be
would ever live to see the crime
Of this chief traitor condoned, or that
he would again be permitted to re-
gain shy political privileges, or even
to retain personal property. But
what o believed, has DOW come
to pass. The rebellion is Q dead
%issue," the Confederate Brigadiers
now control both Houses OF Congress,
Jefferson Da-is has been eulogised
in the Senate Chamber of the United
States as the peer of George Wash
iogton, a prominent Northern Demo
cratic candidate for the Presidency
joined the ex-rebels 10 sounding bis
praises, and q unanimous Democratic
vote was cast in the highest repre-
body of the country, 10
of placing him on the pension
roll, with the loyal heroes of the

indication points 10 the return of this
arch rebel, and still uaregenerate
traitor, to the place in the Senate

that revolt against the Government,
Of which be was the chief promo,or.

IN our National Legislature We have
the spectacle of the lower Hcsse
trying TO coerce the Executive into ac-
q~uiescerce 10 the repeal Of q portion
of the general election laws. by re-
fusing to vote supplies to carry on
the Government, while in our State
Legislature we witness an attempt to
induce that body to ignore the duties
of the courts, by assuming to pass
upon the validity of a statute, that
has stood unchallepged for q long
series of years.
As the law now stands, the coun'
ties of Philadelphia and Allegheny
are amenable for damages oceasioned
bv reason of riots within their limits
1t is the province of the Supreme
Court to determine whether this law
is Constitutional or not. If held to
be Constitutional, then let the County
of Allegheny appeal to the Legisls'
ture for relief from payment of losses
incurred by the riots of last year.
IL declared unconstitutional then
there is an end to the pother, and the
State must pay, but this thing OF the
Legislature attempting to ignore, con
strue or evade, 8 plain existing law,
is according to our old fashioned
notions, t~renching upon the powers
of the Judiciary, ana establishing a
most dangerous precedent, that may
one day return to plague the iDyentor
