ItthenadJs in Application of tbt aentiment : .. Tbe co od try has joit passed a tnrntog-prftt in ita hiatory. The effort to overthrow tbe govern menthai failed. Tbe rebellion, which would bare beta a revolution if it baj oeceederi, baa been effectually crushed. But there are grave quation remaining. Among tbe moat itaporUnt of tbee ia the settlement, for the present action, of aome principles of political economy. Kvery thing is now afloat. We bare cut looe from the finaccfal doctrines which the past geteration had established, and we are now to decide wbeibef this eeverance abIl be a temporary alienation, or a total revolution. Shall we return to tbe old anchorage, or explore for ourselves the unknown ma that ttrctcbw away beyond our viaioa ? . '-.' I It has been cirrameoly opposed that when the eteitementa of tbe ofiflict were over, we thoald swing back to the old moorings. Tho?e who haver led u.t, doubile. intended , at tbe outset euch a return wbea the occasion which suggested tbeae Innovation was pat. But ia that now poMio.i e coniess 10 swme tntgi?ion oo i a t tan point. 1 cere are aigna 01 wtiiiuinefs Among the maes of the people. It is easier, after a lipe from truth to add freh heresies than to return to the old atandard of orthodoxy. Who knows that the cation ia not now to open a new hool of political economy where the axiom of the ecience, ac formerly taaght, will be reck ontd 00 the list of exploded errors? Nothing in relation to recent financial experi ments reem to be settled beyond dispute. When incotvertible paper was aubtituted fergold and sil ver coin, we looked for its depreciation. Those wbo did nat were very bitter in their denuncia tioo of tbote tb at did; and wben the result showed that they were mistaken, they attributed the change to everything but the natural cause When thit paper was issued in Urge quantities we expected art inflation of , prices. Sora vill not even now admit that the amount ieed has at all governed that inflation, because the fluctuations do not exactly accord with the amount afloat. They point to the relative fall of gold while the issue was undiminished, in proof of their theory, aa if U were not evident thai the prospect of a reduction of the volume io, circulation was the chief reason for this change. We have been looking for the period when the extraordinary expenses of the national treasury should cease or be greatly decreased, aa the com mencement of a backward swing to the old or der of things. We had supposed that the re dundancy of the currency, if rot cured by the Action of the authorities, would work its own relief from the natural cause, leading to a gen eral liquidation and revaluation of assets. We looked forward to the debt as a burden that would then be re!y felt, ev pcciallyby the classes called to daily labor. We suggested, as thebes-t method of securing an honest and cheerful re cognition of this obligation, A decision to par the principal of the debt within the life time of thii generation, and the discussion of plans look ing to each a result. We shall not be surprised, however, if that which we regard as sure to follow the close of the war is delayed by freth. experiments in opposition to the old rule. The new school h stronger than many suppose, and the fact that its experiments outlasted the war, has not only given its supporters mach public favor, but also has increased their own confidence iu tbe infallibility of their Tiews. A national debt, in their ejes, is a national bleaaing. It. Is no w to b used, according to their theory, a? a vast cipital to develop the boundless resources of the country, and create a general overflow( of wealth. . . v They see in tbe desolation wbich hu followed the conflict, not the mark of wasted means, but the herald of a vigorous appetite for that trade which shall speedily restore the shrunken proportions. There are many seeming paradoxes in their eherne, but they are enthusiastic, and that which ia new to thii feneration hi alwau an element of peculiarity, notwithstanding the wrninof experience. It cm be tried, and without lb certainty of immediate failure. Those, therefore, who hive btcn looking for the cloe of the wir äs tho ptriovi when th?se vexesj iju?stions were to be settled by a return of the old order, may be sorely disappointed. All violations of natural law are fure, ultimately, to be exposed; but the result of aoeh vindication of the truth is not alway favorable-tu those who rotiduct the eirer'tnctit. Iiiromintrnrr. The New York Evening Post, an intensely te pubtiean s'leet, in a reeent editorial said: It is our duty to insist that wherever our flag ditats. there aa American cilixt-u xuaj av what he thicks, to whoever choo.'es to heir him This is very liberal preiching perhaps too liberal but it does not accord with the practice of The Post any more than with anvof Mbcr "Inyal" journals. Thit paper l s not ooademncd the IaiisoLL mob, the M trvlan J murder, or the destnie tion of presses in California and elsewhere. Hut inconsistency, to ne no hs.rsb.er term, is a r.ece ary couseueoce of such pricciples as are aivo cated by Tbe IV t. A ienlble Kepu bl Iran View. The lluttxU Commercial Advertiser, the leaJin rrputiUsan paper of western New Vork. takes the following view of the requirements of the sit-' uaiion: We begin to appreciate the utter impossibiÜtv of visiting the lV.ll measure of our fint rurrxxes of reveage uooo the so other a peop'.e.

The Execution of the Indiana Con

spirator Ordered. Ia a time of civil war, whose extent bo'b ter ritorial and personal is indefinable; wben leeret conspiracies aid aud comfort open w at fare; when the conditions of peace, fidelity to law, and re spect for government, which arc requisite to the administration of justice by the liberal method of trial by jury are wanting, the public danger may warrant, the stretch of Military power to punish those who do not strictly come within tbe jurisdiction of military law. linl tbe justification of such penalties exist only during tbe public danger. While that continues sacb tribunal may be ju?t.ed iu inÜ.ctiag capiul pucUhment But to execute tie death penalty upon tuen person, by the judgment of. a military tribunal, after the public danger u paat, which called for 6 am wary powerj, would shock the public sense. And although it may be thought a light mat ter in the excitement of the hour, and may be encouraged by some who make up the lack of general stability, ,ana tf ajund 'principles, by a temporary ferocity, or by demanding a victim, auch executions would certainly bring a reaction upon calmer reflection. Men would-forget the absence of tbat verdict which the popular mind holds sacred at i- enqu cation ab e, its belle-C in their guilt will be easily shaken, and so the po litical friends of thee offenders may make them into political mirtirs tbe seed of a bad party. We felt a shock at the announcement that an order has been issued for tbe execution of the Indiana conspirators -Ironies, ililligan and Flor sey, on the 13th, and by it we judge the senst tions of the reflecting generally. And while a e feel the delicacy of interfering with this judg meet, and would refrain from exciting iu tbe breasts of the-e wretched men any hopes thit the doom may be averted, fur which their whole redlining ticca should be devoted to prepara tion, we must express our anxious hope that this sentence will be recalled; and that if the govern ment tbal! see fit to proceed further ugainst these men, who, if they are guilty of all they are charged with, will be severely punished by living in the country they plotteJ to destroy, it will turn them over to the civil courts. Cincinnati Gazette. . From The Kingitou IC. U.) Anericaa. The Culmination of itickcdnrn. It appears from a proclam ition of reward now offered for Mr Jefferson Davis, C. C. Clay, George Sanders, Jacob Thompson, and W. U Cleary, Üul the government of the United States have indubitable evidence that the parties above named are all guilty of conspiracy agaiust the life of President Lincoln, rorthe securement of David finO.fKlU is cflVred; for Sinder and CUy $25(lKX) t-ach, and for the rest of the Darties 110,000 each. This announcement has taken tbe country by surprise. Whatever may have been the estimate of Mr. Dvisnnd his government, there are few indeed who would have believed him guilty of entertaining such a wanton, cowardly and villainous thought as the cold-blooded destruction of the president of the United states He was usually regarded as being far too highminded to be actuated br any motive of such a gross character, and should there be no mistake about the available testimony said to be against him, the name of tbe rebel president, destined to be cherished ia the hearts of many, must sink into profound infamy and derision, and go to pos ferity arm in arm with J. Wilkes Booth, the as sassin of rood President Lincoln. But what must we say of those gentlemen who have been erjoying the hospitality of Cinada Sanders, Thompson, Clay L Co. V ill even this revel tion give some of our people a proper appreci tion of these gentlemen? . We almost despair of such being the case after the black recoid against them already forgiven Let the evidence be sifted aud weighed, and il there is no mistake, as we have a right to assume there ia not from the issuing of the proclamation. let them be bunted down like beasts and com pelled to take shelter beyond tbe pale of humanitv thereto learn the first elements of manhood, and imbibe the first principle of our christian civilization. Clearv is now under bail at Toronto for a breach of our neutrality laws, and we believe Sanders is still in Montreal; Clay is in Europe, and Jtffersoa Divis te said to be twelve hour ahead of Stonemau'd cavalry in Georgia or Mis sissippi. (,'lcar the PrlonI On the accession of a new monarch, it is a ens torn or the Did orU to show mercy to some of the luckier iamatei of political prisons. We entreat our new president to consider soon and earnestiv the propriety of imitating, and even liberalizing, this excellent custom. . IV e have no doubt at all of the propriety nay. the nscedsiiy of wbatare termed 'arbitrary arrf st," in a time of civil war, in which traitors are found almost everywhere. Knowing well that tbe power to make such arrests will almost certainly be Abused, we yet hold that it exists. aud most be exercised. Individuals may fuller injustice; but let them suffer, if so only can the republic be saved. But this power to arrest at will is not only an exceptional it u a terrible rower. It ought not to be tolerated one day beyond tbe continuance of the necessity that evoked it. Under its sway private rights are suspended; our liberties are at the mercy ol an individual will. The wielder of sucb a power may be a statesman, a saint and A Rice; yet he can hirdly help abusing it at the -beck of disenabling bvpocriay and ecbemir'g villainy. We cannot doubt tbat hundreds have been C-tught tip and csged who were innocent and loval. and who?e estates have become the prej ol the perjured rilhiua wha prompted their incarceration. Hid tbe wholesome safeguards of the act of congress authorizing a suspension of the privilege of habe-n corpus been uniformly res(ecied, ttie abuses of this power would have been lar lewer and lfs Migrant. We do not understand why the proTiiou eoliiliug an arretted person to a hcanug beiore some proper tribunal alter a few dis incarceration hhould have been so ofteu dis regarded. And it U quite notorious that pome of the arrested were ncTer wortYthe cost of their keeping, moderate as that was or should Live been But let bygones be bygones. There are scores yet in prison on mere warrauts who ought to come out forthwith. Some of them are only verv railignaut and rather silly copperheids, who would have been less obnoxious it thev had been more capable of doing t-trious mischief. It is very poor economy fur the government to perit in pai tog their board w hen the debt is already so large, tbe expenditures increasing it, and provisions not so cheap as they should be Let us have a dealing out! Hold on to all assassins and conspirators to murder; hold on to house-burners sod highwav robbers in behalf of "southern rights," but let all mere talkers cf treisoa relapse iatv their proper insignificance. There is a large demand for labor in the cornfields about tbeo days, while haying and bir ve?t arc but a few weeks ahead The country is fast settling down into the wavs of peace and thrift; let us ptop suction at tbe public udder so ftt and so far as posir.!e Turn them out!

tTlaxImillan and Icxico. According to our recollection, tbe arrangement made by Maximilian with Francis Joseph, 'when he left the Austrian dominions to accept the new throne of Mexico, was experimental andcantin gent. Maximilian's renunciation of the Au trUn prospects, was not absolute. According to contemporary accounts, the understanding was that he could resume all his rights as a memter of the royal family at any time within five years, if the experiment ia Mexico did not answer his expectations. Tbe fact tbat he was careful to keep open this door of retreat proves tbat he departed for the new world with misgivings; although it was at tbat time commonly believed in Europe tbat our success iu subduing the south was entirely out of the question. If, in the most promising stage of tbe enterprise, Maximillian lacked confidence both in his cause and his deetiny, be must have still leas now. Taxes do not flow into his treasury, and he is now an applicant for a loan in Europe; he has incurred the hostility of one of the most powerful parlies in Mexico that of the church; be lacks means to develop tbe resources ot the country; and except by giving a new impulse to its material prosperity, he has no way of making his mark and attaching tbe people to hii government. A condition of things has arisen in the United States wbicb, bad it been anticiDutcd when the Mexican empire was planned, would havenifped it in the bud If Maximilian were a statesmnn of vigor, enterprise and resource?, tbe difit ult'es that th'cken around him mL'ht stimulate his faculties But this h not his character; and a heh ts behind him a bridge lor pos-sible retreat, he is not likely to act with the decision of a sov ereign whose whole hopcj are staked on his ability to maintain himself on tbe throne he occupies. ' ' - " x ' " " The prospect of au earlv diebmdrnent of our armies begin to put tb it throne iu jevpnrdy, and to cau?e it to totter. Active, though dis guired and clandestine, measures rc alreidy o: loot in our Urge cities to secure men for service against tho new government. If our authorities were ever so friendly to Maximilian, they could not wholly repress such enterprises. The stop page 01 a war turns loose a great number of un easy, redtle-s spirits to whom the piths of peace r..t . a t j- . r. mi industry t-ecm att ana teatous. Alter our Mexican war the country was full of such chr acters, who kept public attention occupied for vears with Lot ez expeditions against Cuba Walker expeditions against Nicaragua, ead al forts of nlihuterin enterpri.-es The same tendency will be much stronger now both because the war has been ol longer duration and oa a larger scale, and because the most ob durate and determined rebels will find it impossi ble to live ia this country, and will seek their for tunes in scenes , of stirring adventure abroad These troops of turbulent spirits will naturally abscond to Mexico, both because of its neirnef s and be.-auie, in leaving their country to eulist under Jusrez, they will canv with them a eher ished national tradition, which will cause them to feel that they are of their native country though no longer in it. When Maximilian has reflected on these rer tain dangers, it is probable that his nv.unllv timid and prudent character will quail before them, and that he will retreat from the country The strongest opposing consideration will be the honor of the French emperor, which is involved in the succc.-s of ti e throne he created; but even he should be glad to retreat if he could s ive his credit. His minister his quite recently stated iu the Corps Legislate that Maximilian will be sup ported; ai d on the strength ot this assurance the new Mexican loin is 6uid to have beta ttken in Paris. But if Maximilian itirHts on retiring, whatcan XT f .1 1 il,. 1 . . apoieon ao; ne could nna no other pnuce who would wish, or whom the Mexicans would permit, to tuke the vacant throne;- and while the French emperor would have fulfilled all his engsgements to Maximilian, the throne would necessarily fall for want of an occupant. Con sidering the character of Maximilian, and the nature of the difficulties that will soon confront him, it ought to cause no surprise if we hear of his erulv abdication. N. Y. World. The I'lcrpont Korern merit As the validity of this organization haa been recognized by President Johnson, and it has been selected by him a? the proper agency for the restoration of law and order in Virginia, a brief history of it it will be of interest. In a letter addressed to Tbe National Intr lligeucer, March 4. lHö, Joseph Separ, a well known citizen of V irßiniA, traced the Pierpont government from its inception to that date, and as the facts recited by biin are hardly a subject of dispute, we con dense them here. Soon after Virgini-a seceded, the pople of the northwest portion of the state called a conven J ' r -t tion ana organizeu a government 01 tneir own. as against the seceded and rebel portion of the sute, claimiiij: that the loval people ol Virginia Lare the people ol Virginia and posesora of her p0l1uc.1l power. Isuder ibe order of tnis cDFCDtion a r.ew legMüure hhj governor were elected, Prancis W. Pierpont h;ivir been chosen governor, and in a chort time the new legist iture assembled and put tie roorgatrzf-d government in oper it ion . (overnor I icrpout appüel. im mediately after hia inauguration, to the president for military aid to suppress "dom-tic violence. and the president, under the provisions of the constitution and the act of congress of Fibruirj Qr. IT'Jj. responded to the governor's cill by fendin; United States triops to ive the desired rrotection. By th a act of rec gnirion, Mr. Segar (rt the presideiit "detertnuied the Ieglit ot the new government as in the Dorr rebeliiou." and tite Luther vs. Horden, th Howard's Rfp , p. 1. Concre,s also admitted to' scats both senators SDd rtpresentativti from the new government. consequently tt;e rec.pQkiou by the United Slates of the Wheelitin govemraeut was complete, and in June. l'h.1. Weit Virginia, under act of congress at.d the legislation of the Wheeling government, became a tep irate etate, forty two named cout.ties constituting It. 01 courie none other than the counties named coulJ form the new state. Put there were other counties that had adopted the Wheeling government, and tbat by the erection of Wc?t Virginia were left without civil government. Thee counties were located in eastern and Piedmoi.t Virginia. Geographically and commercially, as well as by the tctioa of congress, they were disennnectei from northwestern Virginia. They h?td either to submit to mi nary governtrert. a'ttcY themselves t the retel government, or, followirc their fellowcitizens of the northwes-t, organize a loyal government for themselves. Mav 4, 1 bC3 some thirty-three dajs before West Virginia became fully a sttte wtich day, by the laws of Virginia, was general election day tbe voters cf these counties of rcorgjnized Virginia went to the polls at the places appointed bv law, and elected a governor, lieutenant gov ernor, attorney general, sherifTs and other civil officers, and members of congress Ou the 7th of December, lf3, tbe new legislature met in pursuant e of the laws of the state, and oa the 1st of January following. Gov. Pierpont was inau gurated as governor The inferior officers were also dulv inst illed at the times and places designated by law. On the 21st of December. 163, the legislature parsed a law calling a convention to amend the old constitution; and on tbe 13th of Fbtuary, iroa, the convention assembled, and manv charges were made in tbe constitution, one of them providing for the abolition of slavery. i ne legislature aemb!ed in December last. pursuant tn law, and continued in pe??iun up to ar.o aner the uate of Mr. Sear s letter M rch 1 o and shottlv rrevinus tn that date elertm l Qited states senators, he being one. The Counties actually represented in the legialature have a population rf 26U.IHHJ. It will be noticed from Mr Segar's bistov of tbe Plerpcct government, that it ia Lot at all affe ed by the West Virginia orgininüon. Indeed, had not the counties which participated in . r "

the election of May, 1563, been at all connected with the Wheeling governmeisj, their action would have been as valid in the election, if tbe principle upon which tbe .Wheeling organizition restedthat tbe loyal people of a state are tbe sole possessors of political power be accepted as correct. In the May election of 1;63 there was a judicial and faithful observance of law and the forms of law, tbat being the dav of gen

eral election according to tbe code of Virginh. The Pierpont organ zation is an emphatic deniil of Whiüngisro. It proceeded from first to Use on tbe assumption that Virginia was a state lawfully in tbe union, and that her constitution and law could to; be changed by the action of tueu in rebellion against the United States government. President Johnson, therefore, in recognition of it, is entirely con.-htent with bis declarations touching the unimpaired validity of state governments in consequence of sece-ion or any act or acts based thereon Chicago Time. I'rraldent Andretr Johnion -A ;rnpltIc Account of hie Political Career and lit i liaracter n a 71 an. A writer in The t. Louis (Mo.) Republican, who seems to be well po ted, furnishes the fol lowing very readable account of President Joh.xsom: There seems to be a general desire to know the character of the man wbo, by the act of an assin, now wields more power, tor the weal or woe of the human race, than peihaps any other single individual on the face of tbe globe. The startling fact has presented itself to us that, in this critical juncture of affairs, power almost unlimited to direct and control tbe destinies of our country, has passed to untried hands. The people have too much at stake to be indifferent They wi?h to know the man The questions are not so much Is he radical? Is he conservative? as, Is he hone-t? Is.be capable? lias he wisdom to g-iide us? Is he of sterling integrity? Is he a good man, on whose purity of intentions we cn all rely? I shall e-poak ol" his chai acter as known before the war ' -His early diadv?nges as to education are already krown. His wife taught him to write, alter marriage He was a tailor by trade He began his political career at Greenville. Teno , by orginizing a mechanics' club, the ol ject of which was to defeit the pettv officeholders of the town, a bo formed a kind of aristocratic clique. lie is an effective stump-spenker. In his nub lie speeches tbe only promineut mistake, sbowii g bus want of education, is the u-e of t-inular verbs with plural nouns, and plural veibs with singular nouns His voice, at firt, is whining, but as he warms with his subject it seems to entwine itself nround the hearts of his followers and holds them snell b iund He cnva.ed Tennts-ee twice for the office of governor. The first time he was opposed by Gostsvus A. Henry, oiled the esjrle orator," and the second time by Meredith P. Geutry, two of the ablest whig orators of the state. Both his opponents sickened and abandoned the field without completing the canvass; and they were both badly deafeated at the polls. Henry had been a member of the legislature (he year preceding his canvass, und had Gerrymandered tne congressional districts (johu-on c.ille.1 it " Henry mandered ") so as to make Johnsou, who hid been a democratic member of congress ten yers, a ieident of a whig district, and thus threw him out of his teat For Henry's great services in that legislature be was to be made governor; for his services in thit legislature, Johnsoa determined to defeat him before the peo ple, and he did it manfully, succe-.-fully. He deals largelv in futs and figures in hi speeches to the people. He can interest a crowd of Tennessee bacltwo-odsincii in an argument on theciusesand consequences of the public debts ot England, h ranee and Austria, and he will cause everv man to feel that he thoroughly com prehends the question. He has t petfertion that happy, that inimitable faculty of ra.smg the peo ple up in their own estimation to the hight of his ere it argument He has good political foresight. After he takes what be believes to be the popular ?ide of any question, he doe9 not dally with the opposite par ty, he goes boldly to the work, announces bis po sition, and begins to fight for it immediately. You have no doubt where he stands. In the begin ning of h:s canvass with Gentry, the temperance organiz ition determined, as they were not strong enousn to run an independent cmdldate, to ad dre.-s certain interrogatories' to the two candi dates and to vote (r him whose answer best suited them. Johnsen, who was certainly a tern perate man at that time, treated the committee roughly, would uot deign to give them a polite answer, and almost threw the interrogatories bacs into thejr faces. Gentry, on the other hand, whr lwaa inclined to be convivial, answered the committee very politely, and quite to their saiisiaeuon. Johnson's party friends thought he wa9 ir iudi cioas in insulting the temperance interest, but the sequel proved his greater political wisdom, lor he mide a point of it m all his speeches, told of his iuterviews with the committee, And bis responses, and then he openly struck for the whisky interest and won. He has alwas been a states righ'p democrat. He believes in a strict construction of the constitution. His democracy Is of a peculiar port, however. He worships it. It is his only religion. In- his first inauural, as governor of Teoneee, he paid that democracy and religion were hintimikH of each other; thit they were convening lire-, like Jacob's ladder, extending from earth to heivcn, gradually approaching each other, nntil. reaching heaven, they unite in theocracy. The peculiarity of the address cued it to be copied in the Parisian papers. He proclaims biuiself the champion of the people's rights He is opposed to peniientiary couvicts working" at the mech.tnic arts, because tbe products of their labor come into competition with the honest me chacic3 He nude a point ot this when he ran for governor. His opponent defied him to suggest a better srttcm. lie did not know what other plan? rnisht be adopted-he faid he knew tne present sftem was wronp. White he ws governor he made a coat, perhaps a euit, for Ju.lgC PoDper, theu judge of a circuit court in Middle Tennessee. Pepper bad been a black smith, and, as one good turn deserved another, he made a shovel and pair of tongs for Johnson. Letters were written by each and duly publihd He ill acknowledge to no error in hla politi cl career. He is at all times leady to delecd eis course Ircm bepmning to ending. It is thought that he introduces re'olntiou aud bill not p-i much to secure their pa8tge as to m ike a record. He is scrupnl ju-ly carelul to say notb iiiir in his speeches that he cinnot prove; or, if be does say nnythiug of doubtful truth, he gives his authority. It would, perhaps, be nearer correct to s v tht Le mkes no staiemcnts in his Speech tütt cau be proveo untrue.
