“Conlusloh Worse 'Confounded.”
We have fallen on strange times—
times full of trouble, core, apprehen
sion, end danger.
A whole nation seems stricken with
mental blindness, and blind followers,
obeying thoVoico of blinder leaders,
blundering they know not whither,
tush they know not upon what fate.
With Republican institutions, liber
ty, the happiness of the people, nation
al existence all staked upon the oast of
a die, When steadiness, courage, and
statesmanship, can alone avert the im
pending ruin, the tempest-tost ship of
state is in oharge of crazy tod incom
petent men, who cannot see beyond the
necessities of party, nor intelligently
labor even for the end to which they
direct their tealoiis and ruinous mcas-
ure.s
Our political systenk is broken up by
A fearful convulsion, the Very Tounda-
'tlona of society haVe Been t6rn up by
the results of our prolonged and dread
ful civil War; And, beWilaefed by the
Wlnss ot rgins Around them, thirty mil-
lidns of people, wondering, helpless,
and stupefied, contemplate . the situa
tion without eapaoity to drive off the
plunderers who are oolleoted enough to
prey upon the wreck of their former
greatness and glory.
The worst feature of the situation, to
our mind, is, that we have nothing to
guide us through the perils that beset
us—no fixed light by which to direot
our steps—no compass or chart or pilot
—no means of understanding each oth-
Even the language of the people fails
us in this hour of trial.
The same word has different mean
ings in different localities, or in tbe
same locality when ased by different
persons, because “Worcester” tod
“Webster” are no lotige'r reoog'nized as
standard authorities, or are pressed in
to the service of party and used to pro
mote the ends of demagogues aud
knaves.
The confusion that reigned' aroOrtd
the Tower of Babel was lbss distructibg
than that which how prevails about the
temple, whose foundations our fathers
laid; and being reminded of the one
event, (nay we Pot fear for the fato of
tbo vn8t pyramid Of American great
ness and renoiVu, which we had fondly
droamed was to stand forever, and
whose apex was to pierce the skies ?
The ouseofMr. Davis will serve, per
haps as well as any other, to illustrate
tbe situation in this respect.
Mr. Davis was oaptursd by the mili
tary forces of the United States.
If he wak the representative of a real
power, the head of a de facto govern
ment, he ftoa properly held during tbe
progress of hostilities os a prisoner of
If he Was hot this, hut a rebel against
his govermeht, he should have been
promptly turned over to the civil au
thorities for trial.
. If he was a prisoner Of war, he shohld
have been released oh the conclusion of
tho War.
if he was A “rebel,” ’ Oh acohsed bf
treason, the constitution, which eaoli
member of the Exeoutive," LegislAtive,
and Judicial Departments of the gov
ernment has sworn to maintain and
preserve, prescribes the mode and man
ner of trial, and tribunal before Whioh
be should be arraigned, ah'd for more
than avear he has been refused tbe
rights gdirabteed to him by that instru-
He hat at last been indicted by A
Brand Jhry for treak'On, but Whon a mo
tion to proceed with his trial is pressed
before the Court to Whioh the iudiot-
ment Was returned, the Judge refuses
to entertain it becahse the aheused it
held by the military authorities of tbe
government, and will not issue a wiit
I. a!4 aA'a ‘aaam..a 4a r] a4-ahmA awk aIUaL
~ A Sectto
A 'vejry ’nioo little se'otional flight is
going op between Newj England and
Pennsylvania, the Tariff question.
This is'to be reg'rotted, for sectional
bias, as fhadoby South Carolina as far
baok as 1828, Was the nest egg of the
rebellion. Alluding to the difference
on this issue 'betWeeh iPeniisylvania
and New Englahd, the Chicago Tribune
says.*
New England and Pennsylvania have
got into a wrangle about the tariff oh
coal. New England manufacturers
want cheap ooal and Want to get it
from Nova Sootia. Tho' Pennsylvania
miners want ooal to be dear, and want
to oompel Now England to buy of
them. Mr. Morrill, the champion and
defender 'of the neW prohibitory tariff
bill, wanlk to make high prices for eve-
Vything lb tho shapo of manufactures,
and leave ooal mining to shift for Itself.
Mr Nelly, of Pennsylvania, wants to
make the highest possible pripes for
ooal os well as for cloth and iron, and
so he and Mr. Morrill have a hot de
bate over the coal question.
Nothing oould exposetaore thorough
ly the utter hollowness and dishonesty
of tho prohibitory bill, than this wrap:
gle about ooal. It is llio old picture of
the monkeys in Exeter Change dinirig
out ol each others’ pane, and losing
liulf their provender in the Bqnabble.
Mr. Morrill is right on th'e boa! ques
tion, and wrong ob every thinc else, for
the very argum'ettta bo uses to confound
Mr. Kelley, 'confounds himself whed
applied to doth arid iron. So it all re
solves itself into .this, that a ring, -haf
been formed id Washington to rob tho
people, and the ringleaders have failed
out abont the division.

Instructs the President, who, within
the spher'd of his duties, is nominally
independent of the co-ordinate depart
ments, not fo release Mr. DaVis, and in
A different manner gives the same di
rections to tho United States District
Judge; before Whom the Matter is to be
brought. ...
All the while the distinguished pris
oner is in confinement, bolted, barred,
and guarded, and thbre be may remain
for one year or more; or ten yealrs.
This is but one base, and one in Which
there is less irregularity and less diffi
culty than in thousands of others, for
in this each step taken has been , care
fully considered by the highest bffioers
in the government, with a view to the
establishment of a precedent for future
times.
There is not a day in which events
do not transpire that cannot be recon
ciled with any law or with any Bystem
of administration heretofore known
among men; and it was in view of this
condition ot affairs that the New York
Tribune, more than a year ago, aptly
denominated the process of revolution
through whioh we are passing the
“Stantonian” form of Government.
We are in the dark, deafened by the
clamor of a multitude, pulled hither
and thither by an unseen power, with
omens of wrath and woe around and
above us, and no ground for hope of de-
liverence but in God.
Let us look to Him and trust in His

T. H. Seymour was employed to Inves
tigate. The result of his invostigutiofr
is entirely favorable to Mrs. Walker,
docufoehts having be'en reoeived which
show fiey'dhd question that she will

property, and she, together with bar
husband and ohildren, will start for

A Worthy Exahpi.e.—The Rich
mond Times says: Tho “freedmen” of
FredeHoksburg exhibited great good
sense in inviting a Virginia gentleman
'6f intelligence, distinction and great
purity of charaoter to address them on
the Fourth of July. There was a
pleasant savor, also, bf the former
kildly and cdrdiAl relations whioh ex
isted between the races, in Mr. John
L Mar jo cheerfully aco'epting the in-
vitatioli and in bis addiessing them in -
a speech deplete with timely, whole;
Bomo arid disinterested advice.
We return to tills excellent gentle
man bUr sinoere thanks for the exam

he belongs. It is full time that every
man of character at the South was in
teresting himsslf in securing the confi

kindly feelings for our late slaves, it is
our duty, as Intelligent men: fo prevent
the minds bf tbe freedmen from befog

ed class bf demoralized Yankee adven-.
turers who, having squatted like, toads
in the shade of the Freedraetl’s Bureau,,
are busily engaged iff accomplishing
the ruin of the negro.
'Going Backward.-—While most of

opinions inoompatable with the free
dom or safety of the State, shall bo ca
pable of holding any offioo or place of
trust or profit in any eivil Department
[of th'b State.”
Bonnets —A Paris correspondent no
tices the latest 6'yle of Paris bonnet:
The bonnet whioh has for some time
been dwindling to nothing, is. a thing
of the past. What is now worn on the
head by our Pai-iluns, is about the
size and shape of a piece of note paper
and looks very much like the head
dress worn by the Homan women, but
on a smaller scale. There ape no lon
ger any strings worn as formerly; long
ribbons are worn, hanging .down the
back, and are called by the street boys
“Follow me home, sirs. ■
