The Boston Election. The Journal is very much concerned about tho part the Democrats took in the recent city election in Boston. Yesterday it addresses us the following inquiry: « Why, then, does it conceal from its readers the Important fact that in Boston its partisans formed a coalition with the negroes, and supported some of them for important offices, In return for negro votes for Democratic candidates for other offices?'’ Wc have done nothing oi tho kind. We suppose the Democrats of Boston supported Brown, the colored candidate for councilman in the third ward, for two reasons: 1. It was a choice of evift. 2. To test the sincerity of thft professed friends of the negro, who have keen harping upon the sentiment, “no taxation without representation,’’ etc. They had either to vote for a decent colored man, or else permit a mean, hypocritical abolitionist, who for years had been clamoring about the equal rights of the negro—too selfish to permit an illustration of his doctrines—to walk over the course without opposition. They chose the lirst named horn of the dilemma. “For years the radicals of Boston have been using the r.e-

eatreMkupM (h* emrt*m*pfhi* immediate coMtitueney. We noticed • short time ago that the corporeal punishment of females In the Massachusetts schools had become so outrageous and Intolerant that, af some town election, the issue was Whlppingnad anti whipping, and the opinions of eminent aarans were arrayed for and against the question. If the whipping of female scholar*, aa a correction, is a debatable question In Massachusetts, it will be difficult to convince the common sense of the people that the penal code of North Carolina, which provides corporeal punishment for crimes, is vary much ant of the way. But we have corporeal punishment in Indiana. Men, women, and even children, are restrained of their corporeal liberty upon the suspicion, or charge of crime, and compelled to suffer a similar punishment, when convicted of violating the penal sUtuteaof the State. But the Journal does not object to the whipping post for white ariadnals. Its sympathies are only excited when the megro la concerned. If the penal code of North Carolina had discriminated in favor of the negro race, by exempting them from that punishment, all Would have been right. No matter to what extent white skin is subjected to flaggelation, as long as the Mack escapes. It appears, however, that the President has made no decision in regard to the interference ofthc.military commanden with the local laws of North Carolina. The Washington dia-

punishment in North Carolina, has suspended

for the services they bad rendered, by giving ;

them a position which these white livered ab-

olitionists had taught them to believe was ]

their inalienable right, they went back upon them. The Boston election developed one truth—that the professed love of the radicals for their colored brethren ft considerably bellow hearted. The colored men of Boston have a realizing sense of this fact, anti they so express themselves. And what has been done in Boston will be the result in all the Southern States, if they are reconstructed upon what is termed a “ loyal ” basis, and suffrage conferred upon the negro. The “loyal” whites will attempt to reduce tho negroes to political servitude in order to monopolize all the offices of honor and profit. They will claim that this is due from the negroes to them for services rendered, but the negroe* will soon find cut by a little experience who are their true friends. The Democracy have never held out any delusive hopes to the black man. They have not promised him suffrage and equality in political and civil rights—which the election in Boston shows to be an improbability. They believe tho more distinct the races can he kept, the better it will be for both, and hence they have opposed tho breaking down of those barriers which they thought necessary to prevent commingling. Even in Boston we find that the radical Republicans did not desire to be placed upon a political equality with the negro; why, then, should the dilemma be forced upon the whites of tho South? If this association is disagreeable—offensive, in fact, in Boston, why should it be imposed upon the whites of Richmond, Charleston, Savannah, Mobile or Nc.v Orleans? To punish rebels, answer the radical Republicans. But will it net be an equal punishment to the white cltiz ns of the Northern States—of Boston, even— who may emigrate to the South to build up t ie wc.stc places, and thus add to the wealth of the whole country? While the Democracy favor the moral, intellectual and physical improvement of the colored race, at the same tinx'they do not believe that their happiness or condition will he advanced by making them politically the equal of the dominant race. But, w hile holding these opinions, they have always exhibited more true kindness and good will far the black race, than the radical Republicans, who favor their enfranchisement for the sole purpose of maintaining and strengthening their party power. In this connection we will give the testimony recently elicited in Tennessee from a native of a Northern State, who was a gallant officer in the Federal army. Before the commission raised by Congress to examine into the Memphis riots, Hon. H. M. Perkins, United States District Attorney lor West Tennessee, was summoned, and in reply to a question propounded to him by Hon. E. R. Wash-

burne, testified as follows:

Q. State whether, since you have been in Memphis, your intercourse with the citizens has been free, and whether or not you have had an opportunity of ascertaining and learning the general public sentiment of the people of Memphis in relation to the negro popula-

tion there.

A. 1 think that I can safely say that 1 am well acquainted with the people of the city generally. I have been thrown in contact with them officially, and since then I have met them in business and socially, and I feel perhaps better acquainted with these people than any other people anywhere, though I have no hesitation in saying that, so far as I have observed, the teeling on tho part of the people of this city—of the Southern people, the confederates, the old citizens and former masters—is five times more friendly and kind toward the negro than that which exists

its operation until the matter can be fully considered. Lawyers from that State, sent ' represent the subject to the President, dsli

ss, though l feel as kindly : feel, but I have not the

sympathy that I see my neighbors and friends around me have toward the negroes, it is not a feeling that I have in my heart. There Is no doubt but Mr. Perkins’ representation of affairs In Memphis will apply generally in regard to the relations existing between the negroes and the whites throughout the Soflth. Tho fact is, the radical Republicans have for years been using the negro as party capital, as they yet are, and that is about their regard for them. We were Mid before its abolition that slavery was the cause of the difficulty between the North and the South, but the emancipation of the negro has not lessened sectional strife. The negro is still the cause of dissension, and he will be the disturbing element until the people are satisfied that it is the partisan domination of radical Republicanism which prevents the restoration of peace and harmony.

tjJ~ The centralization polity, says the Boston Post, is progressing charmingly in Washington. It is stated that one of the ablest members of the Committee on Finance is in favor cf the Government taking possession Of all the distilleries in the United States and doing all the manufacturing. The fact that over $20,000,000 are invested in the distilation gives this scheme the merit of magnitude at least.. We shall have a fine condition of things, if the scheme is consummated, when the Federal Government shall own and manage all the telegraphs, railroads smddiatiileries of tho country ! This will, however, bo only the precusor of the practical introduction ot socialism, the Government at Washington being the controller of the entire nation through its multifarious agents, whose orders will dlrcot-cvery individual action with military precision and regularity. What an attractive sp. t the United States will then be!

(Keep It Quiet. The Washington correspondent of’the Boston Journal says that a quiet but well organized movement is being made to bring out Mr. Colfax as tae Republican candidate for President. with Senator Howard, of Michigan, as Vice President.--Detroit Pott. The more quiet this is kept the better will be Us chances for success.

ytrs from that State, sent to abject to the President, claim

iprisonment and baaging are embraced term corporeal punishment, that the order, while aimed alone at whipping—a very common method of punishment with them— in a great measure prevents the infliction of

any penalty for crime.”

This explanation puts a different face npon the matter frem previous reports. So the Journal will hav* to withdraw it* censorious strictures upon the President, although the fault finding disposition was manifested in this case as it Is when any possible opportu-

nity offers.

Our neighbor thicks it great presumption In North Carolina to act as though she “ Is entitled to precisely the same political rights exercised by the State of New York, among which is the right to enforce her local, penal, laws.” Has not the Journal, tot the past five years, Insisted that North Carolina wssaState in the Union, and no set of her citizens would make secession valid? It asks the Southern States to ratify the Amendment,not as defunct States, not as territories, but as States in the Union, with the same political rights exercised by the State of New York. If the Legislatures of those States ratify the Amendment, they must do it In the full exercise of the political rights of States. Dead States, and conquered provinces, have no power to ratify amendments to the Constitution. Their assent would give them no validity. The acceptance of the ratification by one of the States lately In rebellion, would be a concession that those States had the same political rights as New York, or any other “loyal” State. Congress no longer ago than last July legislated upon the theory that the State# lately in rebellion were States within the Union, with tke rights of States,by the enactment of a law|placing them all withinUnited States Su preme Court Districts Territoriea and conquered provinces are not placed within that judicial jurisdiction. So, then, the General Government cannot interfere with the local penal code of North Carolina without transcending its just authority.

He was tried by a military commission and waa eantenecd to death. About a year age, while his sentence was pending, the matter waa brought before the Supreme Court, and the latter gave the opinion that Milligan could not lawfully be executed under the sentence of the military commission, and that he should he tamed over to the civil authorities for trial. The decision winch was rendered by the Supreme Court on Monday disposes of au the points involved In the case. It notonly declares that Milligan waa not amenable to trial by military commission, but it enunciated the general principle that such a commission has no right to vy a civilian in a State Where martuflaw does not exist, no matter how flagrant the crime with which he is Thls'deciBion will open dp a wide field of litigation. If there was no warrant for the trim of criminals in the loyal States by military authority during the war, there was of course no legality in the arbitrary arrests that were made all over the North by such authority. Under the decision in question we fail to see what can prevent the residents of Northern States, who were arrested and incarcerated in Government prisons, whose newspapers were suppressed, etc., from recovering damages. The Supreme Court, in the Milligan decision, declares that the military authorities had no right to Interfere in the matter, because the Circuit Court of Indiana was open and unobstructed, and fully competent to dispose of the ease. Hundred* of men were arrested and imprisoned in the North, by military authority, and yet the civil court# were operative in every Northern State. The decision in question being general in its application, we may now look for an almost endless list of legal actions against the parties who were instrumental in the arbitrary arrest#. Congress was kind enough to take all the responsibility off President Lincoln’s shoulders in matters of this kind, by the passage of a bill exempting him from penalties for acts done in bis official capacity. Possibly the present Congress may, after th* holiday festivities, feel amiable end good natured enough to favor the officials of less degree in the same way. In that caae the Government would have to bear the burden of damages that might be collected by the victims of arbitrary arrests—that is, the people would have to pay the penalty for the rash and unwarranted conduct of impulsive officers. But, whatever the cost may be, we hop* that the outrages committed upon the freedom of speech and of the press during the war, will not be allowed to pass into history without the mark of condemnation upon them.

Tft* Spirit •* th* A*r* AAvcrs* t* Panlshaaaat f*r Political Off Ever since the days of Rockingham and Edmund Burke the sentiment of the civilized world has been growing more and more adverse to the infliction of punishment for mere political offences. Imbued with lofty and expanded ideas respecting the privileges of the people who form the body politic of a State, they found the way to make them known to the court of George the Third. Considering the times in which they lived, the atmosphere in which they moved, and the prejudices they had to encounter, it is a marvel they were enabled to accomplish to much toward overcoming the notiona of governmental severity which theretofore prevailed. For their efforts

some of our American statesmen, who are so implacable in their feelings toward the late rebels, might learn something from those illustrious examples. Burke saw the end from the beginning of the American Revolutionary War, and counseled moderation In the treatment of the rebels throughout that protracted struggle. He was one of America’s moat effective and diatineutshed friends on that side of the Atlantic, it Was of him that the elder Adams wroln: ■“Such virtues as his arelbe salt of the earth, without which no heal toy, popular constitution can exist.” They not only greatly assisted the American eause by unfolding and vindicating the rights of man, but all historian* admit that they contributed greatly to the exaltation of the British nation itaelf. He supported Rockingham throughout nil that great statesman’s official life, with n fidelity not plentifully found anywhere in our own remarkable country, even in this enlightened

■ge-

Burke fully understood in his time that which the radicals find it so difficult to comprehend, namely; First, that there exists no way for punishing large organized communities of people for any offenee whatever, much lees for these which are political; and, secondly, that effort* to punish individual* for politleal offenses where the whole community In which they dwell are implicated. Is to be partial In the administration of Justice. If his ideas were sound, as the world admits they wen, why an they not applicable to the people of the South? Everybody of sense knows that there is n* way to punish the whole people of the ten unrepresented States, and that it Is exceeding difficult to designate individuals

who are more guilty than the rest.

If we were to attempt to designate individuals we should name those who were educated at our military and naval schools at the public expense, and all officers who had theretofore sworn to support the Constitution of the United States, including Senators and Representatives in Congress. But others would disagree with u* upon this point, and we should have no unanimity of opinion upon the subject. We have been satisfied from the first that no exactiy proper criterion fordiaenminating among them can be Invented or

found.

Conpling this idea with the probable foot that no Jury can be found In the lately rebel States to convict any of them of treason, it seems to us that amnesty for the past haa become a public necessity. It may gratify the popular prejudice in the North to have them left tmforgiven a while longer, but we are morally certain that the postponement of amnesty will effect no public good. We instinctively foil back, therefore, upon these humane considerations which imbue the spirit of the age and reaffirm the propriety of acting upon tho principle* advanced by Rockingham and Burke on* hundred years ago.—Washington

And perhaps a few words of advice to such of your readers as Intend to come, may not be out of place m this connection: It the party is a single man, and has a disposition to be unnecessarily fleeced, be bad better, on his arrival, give bis banker an order to find him a sleeping room in a convenient part of the city, say within three or four squares of the Hotel du Louvre, or the Grand Hotel, or of the tower end of the Boulevard des Italiens. At this time furnished rooms can be - obtained in tbese localities at low rates—tome of them, of small size, being procurable for twelve francs a month, including attendance. It is all folly for a man to put up at cither one of the big hotels, at a cost for rooms of from five to forty francs a day, and to dine at the table d'hote for three or four times the price that would be charged him for a good meal at a respectable restaurant. But It’s not the thing, exact!}, te patronize the restaurants on the Boulevards, for they are gotten up in grand style, and some of them are said to pay 200,000 francs a year rent; consequently their charges are high, and one doesn’t get any better dinner for s or 10 francs at the Restrurant Foy or Maison Doree than he could get at Kiu»:»Te' ’ in your

The Press on Dr. Banter’s Letters. From the Cincinnati Gazette, (Ohio.) Dr. Hunter’* advocacy of hi* view* through the public press, instead of confining hftnself to the columns of the medical reviews, is the chief cause of complaint (where any exist) with medical men. Wethinkthe objection, instead of injuring the Doctor, reflects credit npon him. Everybody reads the newspapers in this country, and where the diseases npon which he treats, together with the causes of their origin, are described and explained folly to the understanding'of unprofessional mind* by a physician, he is entitled to the respect and confidence of the public.
