Mr. Lincoln, it is well known, had declared that he would never permit tiie hanging ol Milligan and Bowles, rt was Ins indention, says the New Al bany Ledger, to allow tbem to lie in jail till ti e close of the war, and then re’easo tbem. But this mild policy did not suit the blood-thirsty C'ollax and bis associ tes, and they demanded the blood of these men, a demand, how ever, v\i h which Mr. Lincoln refused to comply. A fw months alter this bloody pe t tion was sent lo Mr. Lincoln, the Sa prune Court ol the United States de eided that this military commission had lo jurisdiction w’u-.tevever in such oa ses as this, and that Mil igan and Bowles were uijus ly and illegally tried and convicted. And yet Mr. Go fax wanted Mr. Lincoln to bring these men to on ignominious death upon a convictiou thus illegally anu unlawfully obtained. In other words they prayed tbo President to connive at a judicial murder. Mr. Lincoln re lieved himself of this dreadful crime. But what shall be stud of Mr. Colfax ? Cau be be held guiltless of endeavor ing lo hasten the death of these men Ihus unlawfully committed? Anecdote of Colfax. —There is n good joke told about Colfax, when ho and the Hon Mr. Fitch were opposing candidates for Congress iri Indiana.— Fitch had a lettor from a prominent citizen of the district, which reflected very severely upon “Skyler’’ in sever al particulars, which', during a joint discussion between them, he was in the habit of leading. Colfax, of course, hud no reply that he could put in, so he tried to ‘ grin and bear it.” How ever, Mr. Fitcb imagined that Colfax was very anxious to get possession of the letter, whereupon he bud it exact ly copied, and on the next day of dis cussion purposely placed the copy in the way of Mr. Collox, who very nat urally gobbled it up. On the subse quent day, v hvn they met, Mr. Fitch incidentally referred to ‘'the le ter he had in his possession,” etc.’ whereupon Colfax sprang to his feet ar.d branded the statement as a calumny that he would ni longer endure, and defied him to show the letter. Turning upon him Fitch said ‘‘ls that what you want, you little rascul ? You think that you stole that letter from me yes terday, but you did not; it was only a copy. Here is the original. And now Mr. Colfax, I would propose to treat you as a loud mamma does a refracto ry boy, were it not that to morrow you would show the scat of your puni-h --ment for the sake ot exciting sympa thy.” Colfax never denied the letter afterward.

The beat g .rvuuuicct is that which !impc9ra the fewest restrictions upon j the liberty of the citiz o, says the Citron \ tele & Sentluel ami iritet for. a least wi ft | pj ivato coudoct and individual cuterprise j The wisest ligiJature is he who confines j tho statutes of the State wi Liu those j well-defined boundaries whose gnu j land-marks were established upon 8i - Mai’s Mount thousands of years age by I the urn rrirg finger of G d’s infinite wisdero. The history of the world’s oivil’z tion from the days of Moses, the great Jewish law-giver, down t> the prcr-ent day, proves conclusively that those nations have boon most respected and powciful, uttd their peftple most prosperous and happy, who have, in the enactment of lows fi r the regulation of their internal t flairs, left to their people! the widest latitude iu establishing and; lixnig the terms of social, business and commercial intercourse, aifil have k. pt the field of private enterprise open to the fullest exercise of indiviiual merit! and industry. The great object and end of all good : government is the protection of the peo-i pie, who for this purpose are collective ly considered as one, and are dealt with and known as the body politic of the State. Each member of such a govern mtnt surrenders for tl o common good' some ts those rights and privileges J which, in a state of nature, each is en titled to e»j <y. But ia such a govern ment, no man surrenders his individual ity or parts with his right to acquire and erj >y property. Neither does the goveruiuont acquire tho right to interfere in his social relations and conduct, only so far as may be found by experience to bo absolutely ncccssny for the public good—that is, for the good of the great est number of the whole community. The experience of more than two thousand years of the world's history has ineoutestibly ettablished the great Let that each individual of a civilized and enlightened government oan estab lish, regulate and improve bis own for tunes mi re satisfactorily to hitnself and with less djuger to his feDows, when left free from the interference of Gov ernment, except so far as may bo neces sary to confine his conduct towards his fellows within the limits of the rules laid down and preserved ia the liws of the “■ twelve tables.’’ The everv-day coi filets of individual life tends to sharpen the wit, expand the intellect, quicken the energies, sim ulate the industry and excite the inven tive and productive faculties of tire people. Justus ii tho physical world bright sparks are eliminated by briuging into sudden contact the fliut and steel, as fire is produced by hard and rapid rubbing of a dry stick-, so, in the priva'e and social affairs of human life the con stant and irrepressible conflict of man with man and mind with mind in grap pling with the obstacles which, through man’s impurity, have been placed by Providence in the pathways of life, de velop and brighieu and strengthen those great qualities both of head and heart which contribute so much to tho world’s happines; and progress. At frtquent periods in the history of tho past, resort has been had to the en actment of laws for the regulation of human conduct in those private, individ ual and social aff.its which, as we have observed, have Fcn lift by common consent of the wisert and best law-makers of the past to tho control and manage ment of the citizen a’one. Os this we have a fair example in those fu’i'e and oppres sive enactments a s “Sumptuary Laws” —laws whieh undertake to estab lish and fix the price of leading articles of necessary couiumptioa. Ia every single ease where resort has been had to such expedients to lessen or control prices the effect has been to increase tho price and render it more difficulty to obtain those Very articles. These laws, intended for the benefit of the poor, have injured them and enriched and benefited the wealthy who were the peculiar objects of the law’s vengeance. So with all these unwise, UDjust, and inequitable expedients known as Stay Laws. While their enactment is justi fied, solely on the ground that some mitigation of the burdens of debt must be adopted for the bencfiit of the debtor olass, to enable them to live and atftrd a compcton* support fur theirfamilies they invaiiably lead to tho permanent injury (of that very claes. It will bo found universally true that men or communi | ties who are in such an impecunious [ condition as not to be able to meet, j scrtlo their legal obligations, need credit ; for tbe_/W«re more than they do time and for the past. Stay laws destroy credit. They de stroy confidence. Thy diminish vain's They ltsscu the ability to pay debts They do not relievo from the obligati in of the contract. They do not destroy the promise to pay. They do not les sen the obligation to perform the contract but only forcibly change one of its most important elements—the time when payment shall bo made. They cheat and defraud tha creditor, and bring ruin and disaster on the debt r. They are tncre tempoary expedients which are re sorted to in times of great hardship, os tensibly for the public good. They propose to uUj the baud ot justice only lor a tine, in ouler that the debtor may have a long, r p riod in whieh lie may he able in ittena-e l.l» ability to pay at the* ixpiraiion ■! the rx ended time. It is for tho f uog iug and other rea sons, witch if we bad time and sptcc wo might give, that we uro opposed to stay lawr—.hat they fail to iff rd the relief which they promise to the impoverished debtor. Uuder ordinary circumstances ve should oppose any and all at emnts on the part of Government to interl' re, iu any way, wilt tbo obligation* or perf rra anco of contracts. We are saii tied that, under any cireuui.'.ta lures, it is a delicate and exceedingly dangcrt.us bu.-r ness. But the people of Georgia and ol tho South found themsedvos, at the close of the war, by no fault of their own* left penuilesß and, in many intranet s, homeless. At the command of the sovereign power in the State they had taken up arms against the Federal Gov eVoracut. That struggle led to the emancipation of their slaves. This spe cies of property composed uoarly four fiths of the entiro wealth of the State. For many years previous to tho war the credit system had preva'tod so large ly and universally that almost every proprety-owuer, and pattioularly slave owners, were largely in debt. Those debts, contracted in most part fur the purchase of.-lma, were almost univer sally based upon that specie* of propst ty as the ul iiuato security of the debt. Now as the debtor is not to blame for tho loss of the property the ownership of whieh at the lima enabled him to obtain credit, and which was mainly looked to by the creditor as the security of the credit ; it seems to us that sotp fair, equitable snd honest adjustment of these old debts .should be made where by the losses sU'Uine.d by the war which was waged for the benefit of all should be divided between the creditor and debtor class. R, as we all hoped, and most of believed would nS tru-’, the war had ended in our favor all classes of the people woull have partiolpat-.il equally iu the benufits which might have accrued from inch a termination of the struggle. Now that it is to painfully true that immense losses have been sustained by that unfortunate issue is it not fair and just and right that these losses should he equally borne by all. There can hardly be serious divi ion of sentiment on this proposi'bn. The chief and, as far as we have heard, the only objection which has yet been urged against it, is its impracticability. Every true man iu the State feels truly and deeply for the losses and pecuniary trouble of itis neighbor. Every man within whose breast tho milk of human kindness flaws is willing to forbear and curtail his demiuds agriiiit those whose heavy l osses renders their ability to pay in full utterly hopeless. The race of sbylocks who would contend for ai.d and - the last cent the p tuud of human flesh—fiom their impoverished and ruin ed neighbor have no abiding place on Southern soil. Tho only or chief trou ble iu the way of a true and permanent relief to' the debtor class, is the difficulty of securing the rightsof the creditors. For it must not be forgotten that this much abused class have rights, rights which no honest or just people wholly ignore or repudiate. A a this artiolo has already exceeded the usual limits of newspaper discussions, wo ar« compelled th bring it to a close. Wc shall return again to tho suhj c*. in a few days. A glowing Tribute to the Cause.” We take the following eloquent ex tract from an editorial in the fist issue of the “Danner of the\ South," from the pen of jts Editor, Rev. A. J. Ryan, the Poet Priest of the South. The words of the distinguished editor glow w ith the fire of patri lism eloquence and principle, aud will find a responsive echo in every true Southern breast : By birth arid sentiment we are of the South. Dearer than all other interests of this world, to us, are those of our land. Over these interests we shall watch. Fitmly an 1 faithfully we shall defend thorn, and more so now than ever when those interests are in such sore need of brave defense and true de fenders. Believing, as we do, that tire South had right, and reason, and prin ciplc, on her side in the late war, we fee! that we shou’d not let the tradi tions and memories and glories of the struggle pass into oblivion. We must keep> them alive and aglcw—we must pass them dc-wn—we must make our children proud of them There is not a day nor u deed of the struggle of which we may feel ashamed. We owe it to tho past to preserve tho s ory of out struggle, and the future will nos forgive us if wti fail to record it. And in recording it we must not use words of apology, as though wo doubted of tho rightejusness of our cause; hut, plainly nod fearlessly, true to ourselves to our cause, to our country—truo to the dust ol the dead tit our feet —true to the spirits of those wno were so true to us—true to the Future which is coming down to aiu of us the vindica tion of our course aud the story of our past —we must declare, and still de clare, and never cease declaring, iu words as brave as our warriors were, that iu the dread struggle in which our flag west down with riot a stuin ot uis tionor on tho virgin purity of its folds.
