Bland ford A Miller, for Plaintiff in error. McCoy A Hawkins, contra. 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.

For example : A plauler informed that a woman had died by the road side, aud that a living child was at her breast. Ho sent out his servants, who found the corpse, and the child so tightly clasped io the mother’s arms, that in beudiug it back, stiff and cold, it brofce. The poor little in fant, exhausted bv exposure and want, died as it was being released. Another case: A woman, with her three children, crawled up to & planter's house just as tiffin was being cleared away; the remains of the curry and rice were carried out in the verandah and placed before her. 'With out attempting to eat, she Beated the three children round tbe dish, who speedily de voured its contents; and, although the mother was wasted to a skeleton, mumbling her thanks, she turned away, grateful that 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.

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.
