THE EAGLE. SPENCER A SCHIRMEYER, I’iiofuietobs. DECATUR, INDIANA. Tbl ,‘<>DAV A.OJi.MNG, DEC- 18, 1882 Peace Propositions It is said that the following propositions for a settlement of the national difficulties, have been submitted to the President and Cabinet by Jeff Davis, with the assurance that were these agreed to all othet questions arising could be settled without difficulty. First. A general and unconditional ain nesty to all political offenders against the Federal Government such as would place them in the pesitiou they have occupied before the commencement of hostilities, as it respected their immunities, rights andpriveleges. Secondly. Tiie restoration of all fugitive slaves within the control of the Federal Government and will give the entire weight of its influence and authority in carrying out the provisions of the fugitive slave law in the recovery of those fugitive slaves who may have passed beyond the immediate control of the government. Thirdly. That each of the contending parties shall be held responsible only for the debt incurred by it, in the same man ner as if they had been recognized as independent powers. These as Mr. Davis expressed it, were the bases on which a restoration of the separated States could be effected by the Federal Fnion. There were many points he said to be settled: but there would be comparatively little difficulty in reference to them if the major propositions were agreed upon At that interview Mr Davis spoke of the imminence of foreign intervention and said that he depreciated either intervention or mediation from abroad—inter- , vention because he believed it would end ■ in force of arms, and whatever might be j the : ...suit might be disastrous alike to the North as mil as the South, mediation because he believed if the j North were disposed to treat on the mat- ‘ ter of settlement it could be much more I satisfactorily and beneficially determined i upon by a mutual commission. As to whether the foregoing is exact- i ly correct is difficult to sav, but there is no doubt of the fact that bropositions of j some kind from the Confederate Government have been received at Washington . It is stated that the President and Cabi-, net refuse'to take any action upon these propositions. Gen, Bank’s Respect lor (lie I.nw and the Writ of Habeas Corpus. General Banks very handsomely recog- ' nized the civil power in New York on \V ednesday. Judge Mi-Cumr served him . with a writ of Habeas corpus directing him to procure the body Os one of his soldiers of his expedition ’at2 P. M. At; the hour appointed; Ethan Allen. Assist-i ant United States Attorney, a] peared be fore the judge and made return to the writ on b .-half of Genera! Banks to the follow- ■ mg effect: first, that the body of aforesaid soldier was then on board the Northern Light. ■ andon its way to the .Narrows-the trans-» port having sailed from the dock before j the General was served with the writ. Second that the general himself had set sail with his soldiers at IP. M. Notwithstanding these obstacles to a literal compliance with the writ General Banks desired the judge to understand that he entertained the greatest respect for the ‘ mandates ot the civil courts, and that he would do all that lay in his power to obey tiie processes emanating therefrom He would therefore direct that the soldier uiludeil to Be put on shore from the Northern Light before she left the bay. and leave it to him to present himself and obey the writ. Judge McCmm expressed himselt satisfied with the above return to the writ and gave utterance in the most exalted terms, to his esteem and admiration of Gen. Banks as a lawyer states man and a so'dier This conduct of General Banks, a Major General in the army, an officer of dis-' tmetion and in command of an expedition of the greatest importune, is honorable to and in striking contrast to the conduct <>f some petty lieutenants and one horse ! • aptains who lake it upon themselves to disregard the writ of habeas corpus and set at nought the Constitution and laws of the land.—{Ft.
