Incidents of the famine in India.
Much has been said of the distressing
scenes witnessed in India during the recent
famine, but we have seen no narrative more
touching than the following, which we copy
trom an English magazine :
“It is in Orissa, Ganjam and Midunpore
that the distress ivrougnt by the famine is
felt iu all its intensity. In these districts it
is supposed that the death-rale has been a
thousand a day lor many mouths; but the
number of those who have tnus miserably
perished by hunger and disease will never be
accurately ascertained. Vast numbers have
fled from tbe districts, some to sleep au
eternal sleep by the roadsides, where their
unburied bones lie bleaching in the scorch
ing sun—mute witnesses to the blessings ol
British rule—and others to arrive in Calcutta,
so emaciatedjbat they appear as if their
skeleton frames were covered with thin,
transparent India rubber. In the ‘City o!
Palaces,’and other towns where they have
sought reluge, it is calculated that seventy-
five ihousaud are daily fed by public charity,
and at least double that number, or one
hundred and fifty thousand, by private
charity.
‘•To see one of these immense crowds,
when the daily distribution of rice takes place,
u bost to help us to predict that no citi
zen of the Southern States, on account of the
late war, will ever be convicted of treason
against the United Stales.
And threats of confiscation are M tenor-
less as threats of treason. As a punishment
for treason, the Constitution expressly pro
hibits it. II says (article 3, section 3): “No
attainder of treason shall work corruption of
blood or forfeiture, except daring tbe life of
the person attainted.” It is plain, from this
danse of the Constitution, that., even if a
man should be convicted of treason, his pro
perty could be taken by the Government only
during his lifetime. After his death (which
is generally shortly after his conviction), it
goes to his heirs-at-law. But to be forfeited
even to this extent, there must jirtl be a trial
by jury, and a conviction for treason. Can
the properly of any citizen of the United
States, whether a supposed rebel or not, be
taken from him by the Government of the
United States, excepting in the qualified
maimer prescribed in article 3d of the Con
stitution, on a conviction of treason? The
act of Congress, declaring that the property
of all rebels in the Southern States shall be
confiscated, does not alter the matter. They
must be tried and convicted of being rebels
before the law can apply; and wheu it ap
plies, it is limited by the 3d article of the
Constitution. From these views of the Con
stitution, which we believe to be incontro
vertible, our readers can judge of the sense
less cry in the Northern States for all the
lands of the people in the Southern States to
be taken from them by confiscation. They
cannot take one single acre, and we do not
believe that to take a single acre will be at
tempted. The Government of the United
States may hold our property by military oc
cupancy. But that is not title; it is iorce.
As the reign of peace is now established, we
must presume that the wild demon and in
justices of war will cease, and reason and the
Constitution again prevail.

her offspring had been fed, even while she
herself stiff hungered. Here is yet another
instance, still more wonderfully touching in
its forgetfulness of self: A little girl and her
mother were seen lying under a mango tree
Both were faint from hunger. They had
been trying to keep life together by feeding
on snails, berries and lizards; but growing
weaker day by day, they at last * sunk dow u
under this tree to await a lingering death.
Some boiled rice was placed before them.
when thus led out, Surratt, alias Watson,
made a sudden dash from bis guards,
j u nmed over a precipice more than one
Hundred feel high, and, though hotly pur
sued by fifty Zouaves, was enabled, from tbe
fact of their prelerring a more circuitous
route, to get clear across the frontier into tbe
Italian territory.
Iu consequence of the representations
just made by Mr. Marsh to the Italian Gov
ernment, telegraphic instructions have-been
forwarded to the towns on the Papal frontier,
and to all tho seaports of Italy, to recapture
Watson, alias Surratt; bat if I am not exceed
ingly misinformed, the Italian Government,
in declaring its readineas to forward tbe great
ends of international justice, has intimated
tbat eve l in the event of it giving up Surratt,
alias Watson, it will stipulate that his life be
spared.
The New York Post, in reference to Mr.
Boutweff’s caucus speech, assuming derelic
tion on the part of President Johnson in
Surratt's arrest, declares it to be the duty of
the House of Representatives to call upon
him for the proofs which alone can excuse
and justify bis gross language. The Post
adds: “If he cannot furnish them—if his
‘reiisou to believe ’ is discovered to be founded
upon the malicious gabble of a set of half
some noitca ™e wqs ----- “ scandalmongers, who have, during
Tho mother was ik rm ^tli tho whole summer and fall, busied themselves
although ’the cbffds lqg ej w flashed with whispering to tho36 who would listen to
“»• .«• -4.-
until half the rice was thus consumed did
she herself eat.”
[From the Charleston Mercury.)
Treason snd Confiscntion.
There are very confused ideas abroad con
cerning treason and confiscation. Many
suppose that a proclamation declaring cer
tain citisens in certain States rebels aud trui
tors make them so. And an act of Congress !
scandal about the President, then the House
of Representatives will owe it to its own self-
respect to expel Mr. Boutwell, and thus teach
others that official position cannot shield vi
cious Wanderers ”
It was probably this well-timed suggestion
that drew from Mr. Boutwell the following
remarks in the House of Representatives
Tuesday:
Mr. Boutwell, of Massachusetts, rising to
OTontmncUig that the property of these cili- j * personal explanation, said he had seen a
zensshall be confiscated, accomplishes the statement m some ot the papereof what pur-
zeD ® ' Thpiap are ere-it errors ported to be his remarks to the republican
to bl efficacious ‘against any cili j caucus on Saturday laaL What be did then
zen must be brought home to him by a trial | say was said coolly and calmly,and he wonld
and’ conviction ; and bis irial and coavictioo i repeat his remarks here. He said he gave
must beby a urv, sitting in the State aud j uouce that U was hts purpose at an early day
district wlicre Ihe treason was committed, i? introduce a r^oluuon ^Uing tor .wforma-
Tbe Constitution of the United States says, tmn re^uye t<^e_art4MM>f John H ; burratt
in _ 3d Article, 3il Section: “Treason against
tbe United States shall consist ouly ot levy
ing war against them, or iu adhering to J heir
enemies—giving them aid and comfort.”
In the 3d Article, 2d Section—“The trial ol
all crimes, except in cases of impeachment,
shall be by jury ; and such trial shall be held
in tbe Slate where the said crimes shall be
com mined.” ... .
The States were not satisfied with this
clause in the Constitution, and proposed the
following amendment, Articte 6, which was
adopted: “In all crimiual prosecutions, the
accused shall eDjoy the right to a speedy
and public trial, ty »n impartial jury of the
State and district wherein the crime shall
have been committed, Which district shall
have been previously ascertained by law,
and to be informed of tbe nature and cause of
the accusation; to oe confronted with the
witnesses against him; to have oompnisory
process for obtaining witnesses iu his favor,
and to have the assistance of counsel for hts
defence-”
The 5th amended Article prescribes:
“That no persou shall be held to- answer for
a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, un
less on a presentment or indiftmeut of a
grand jury-
The course of proceedings then, in trea
son, appear to be this: 1. The indtetjnent
for treason mnst be laid before a grand jury.
2. If a true biff is found by the grand jury,
be must be speedily and publicly tried by au
impartial petit jury, in the State and district
Where tbe treason is alleged to have been
3. He shall be informed of tbe
nature and cause of tbe accusation. 4. Be
*nnfrrmtftd with the witnesses against him.
5. Have compulsory process to obtain wit-
ile bad good reasons to beiieve tbat the Ex
ccutive Department of. the government had
knowledge of tsniralt’s whereabouts months
ago, and that he wan in the army ol the Pope
ot Rome.
He (Mr. B.) had observed tbe statement of
tiurrau's arrest aud escape, aud he thought
it right that the country should know
whether be (Mr. B.) was right in his CoDjec
lure as to the knowledge of the government
of Surratt's whereabouts. Qe has reason to
believe that in May last tbe Executive knew
where Smruit was—that he was in the army
of the Pope, and the very company and regi
ment was known. He would not now say
that any blame attached to the Executive
relative to the matter, but when he left
Washington at tbe end of tbe last session of
Congress he (Mr. B.) expected to bear every
day of bnrrati'9 apprehension. Bat he saw
no account of the arreat, and then be said in
public speeches that be bad team to believe
the government knew where Surratt
For this reason he proposed to call for the
correspondence, that the country may know
whether tbe government had the alleged in
formation, and whether any efltins were
made to arrest Surratt. If It shall appear that
the government did not possess the alleged
knowledge he would be among the first to
apologize. While he (Mr. B.; was opposed
to the President and his policy, be would
fight him honorably, and he only wished it
to appear whether tbe President bad done
his whole duty, and he (Mr. B.) would
investigate tbat question with a judicial
mind, and if the President had been true,
timiact .would be recognized, but if other
wise, he (Mr. B.) would know bow to do his
doty as a eitixen and as a representative.
