' , t , . ak "ot the slightest influence upon the goyernmcntal machinery now m operation in our country. Even some of the leading Republican journals arc becoming alarmed at this state of thing?; and the Tribune carnestJ calls the attention of the author ltics to an oM document, bearing tue signature of Gkoroi: Washington, and denominated the Constitution of the United States, in which it is written: The trial of all crimes, except in cases of ! impeachment, shall be ly jxuy; and i such trial shall be held in the States where the said crimes shall have teen committed; but when not committed within any State, the trial shall tc at such place or places as the Congress mry by law have directed;7 f Art. :J, sec. 1'.

Kvcn the unl aj'jy victims of the Irish rebellion were prepared for the gallows in open court, and in the light of day." ;Tho-e who flatter themselves that puh- ' lie opinion, either at home or abroad, will I be much influenced bv a version which has been edited and expurgated by the ! .J u re Advocate, must oe very simple .1. ! people indeed. Nobody will permit himi sidf. Tli:itevir his leani'iL'S niav be. to atlach any vilue to revelations made unuir eonditmns m uhieli every rule ot evi dence is set at nauiiht, and even the ex t'cricncc of every day life treated witl contempt. What makes the matter ad the WOTS' is, that on tho vcrj day on whieh this tribunal brati its procedins, the state of things which alone could justify it, if anvtbin could justify ir, hid been formally declared at an end by proclamation under ti e President's hand and sc 1. For eiirn j owers were warned that the war was over at the very moment that a tribunal vas assembling, for.who.-c constitution and rocedurc nothing but overwlichning and imminent danger to the national existenee wonhl be a sufficient warrant.'' On inonday last, in charjrin the Grand Jury at Albany, Jude lVekham, one ot the ablest lawyers in the State, took occasion to say: '!A srreat crime has lately been commit ted, that has shocked the civilized world. Hvery ritrlit minded man desire. the pun ldiment of the criminals but he desires the punishment to be administered according to law, and through the judicial tribunals ol the country. No star chamber court no secret lmjmition, in the -Nineteenth century, can ever be made acccptible to the American mind. k,If none but the guilty would be ac cused, then no trial could be necessary execution should follow accusation. kIf is almost as necessary that the public should have undoubted faith in the purity of criminal justice as it is that justce should, in fact, be administered with integrity. Grave doubts, to say the least, exist in the juinds of intelligent men as to ti c constitutional right cd the recent military commissions at Washington to sit in jud--nicnt upon the persona now on trial lor their lives Irforo that tribunal. Thoughtful men feel Aggrieved that such a commission should be established in this free country jvhen the war is over, and when the coiumQii law courts aro opou and accessible to administer justice according to law, without fear or favor. "What remedy exists '! None, whatever, except through the power of public sentiment. "As citizens of this free country, having an interest in its prosperity and good name, we may, as I desire to do, in all courtly an 1 kindo.es, and with all pmp-
or respect, express our disapprobation of this course of our rulers at Washington. "The unanimity with which the leading pre- ot our land has condemned this mode of trial ought to be gratifying to every patriot. "Every citizen is interested in the preservation, in their purity, of the institutions of his country, and you, gentlemen, may make such presentment on thi.s
subject, if any, as your judgment may dictate." When we are told that the supremacy of the Constitution has been restored, "sve must be furnished with some other evidence of the fact than the highhanded violation of that Constitution now bcinir perpetrated in Washington. V ia-o-tt' ' Protest Against the Shedding of 31 vre isiuoa. The Catholic Telegraph, a journal that gave cfiicient support to the policy and re-cleetion of President Lincoln, in its issue of the 17th irave the following cdttorial to the public: IJe Mookuate. There is a painful flippancy in existence that should cease. Wo allude to the talk about more blood being spilt. Senseless individuals can very easily hlurtout, "hang him !" '-shoot him V This is madness and should be frowned upon by every friend of justice t i aiiii order. hloodthirsty ? Wo know that his bitcrcst opponent must onfess that lie was the former. Jfho was, we know that the best way to honor his memory is to cling to his principles, and p actice that toleration aud humanity which have so preeminently distinguished him as the executive of the nation. We deplore his death as deeply as any one in the country; aud thiak that those zealots who are calling for more blood are doing more to tarnish the fame of the land he served, and whose flag he triumphantly carried through the Cres of civil war than the culprits who inaugurated the war. If the advocates of '-hang him" will devote a few days to the history of other louutries they will find that martyr-making is a dangerous and unprofitable busi iie-s. And in a country like ours, where parties are .o evenly balanced, it is wisdom to vau-e before such an inhuman, anti-Line jlu aud uu Amrieau svstcui is initiated. 1n the lDlli inst., certain parlies are to be hanged iu Indianapolis. Yc know nothing of the merits of their ease, but we do know that .Mr. Lincoln, if lie lived, would never sign their death warrants it they were condemned by a thousand military commit io'is. Perhaps when they are iu their graves, and their babes asking their mothers for the bread she cannot give them, the legality of this modern, expensive system of judicature may be stripped vi' its leathers by some earnest and brave advocate who is now preparing himself for the contest for the annihilation of a tribunal that, before its extinguishmer.t, may condemn the foremost of its advocates. Again we ad jure to the admirers of Mr. Lincoln to cling to his principles. cv I:iil;ti Policy. The Washington correspondent uf the X. Y. Tribuue says that a movement ol considerable magnitude, at the head ci which is lion. George W. Julian, is in progress there, having for its purpose a substitution ot the pacihealion lor the an nihilaticii jtlicy of dealing with the Northwestern Indians. These gentlemen are urging upon tbc President and Secretary Harlan the appointment of ome intelligent and competent member of the Society of Friends as Commissioner ol Indian A Hairs in place of Mr. Dole. The systematic ruhheric of which the Indians have been victims for a term oi years, and the consequent massacres of which the frontier settlers have iu turn been th victims, are instances in proof of the utter failure of the coercion policy. It is understood that Secretary Harlan is decidedly favorable to the reforms urged by Mr. Julian and others. On the other hand, ex Senator Wilkinson of Minnesota claims the appointment if the Government concludes to maintain the present hostile rclatims. Two prominent and active Quakers have been named by Mr. Julian ai'd his friends; one from Ii.-diana and the other from Pennsylvania. I Ceil. Sherman and Halle k. Washington Cor.(N. Y.) Times. When Gen. Sherman arrircd at Petersburg from 1 ileigh, I '" City Point, Gen. llalleck tent word to him that he had secured a residence in Richmond for Iiis (Sherman's) use, as long as his headquarters should be in the city, and tendering him the hospitalities and civilities due his position. (Sen. Sherman replied curtly; declining the proffered courtesy, and adding that he could not recogniz' (Jen llalleck. The l itter replied in a f. endly tone, and expressed the hope that Gen. Sherman would not consider a friendship of twcr.ty year's standing severed, because he( IIalfeck) had been compelled to oflie tally perforin an unpleasant duty, and eKprea-inga hope that he might have the pleasure of reviewing Gen. Sherman's troops on thair passage through Richmond. To this Gen. Sherman replied in Kubstanco that he could not recognize Gen. llalleck, and that his corps commanders were instructed that, if they found him iu thoir march through Richmond in a position to review the troops, they must change the direction of their march, nnd avoid him.
Kcii.Slicnriau 2,elUr From that Officer. The following is the letter of General Sherman, complaining of the suppression of his oflieial reports, already referred to: 'Camp Near Alexandria, May 19.
Dear Uowmax I am just arrived. all uiy army will be in to lav. T hnvn been lost to the world in the woods for . w -, . -, some time, yet on arriving at the settle ments, found I have made quite a stir among the people at home, and that the most sinister motives have been ascribed to n:c. I have made frequent official re - ports cf my official action in all public matters, aud all of them have been carefully suppressed, whilst the most ridiculous nonsense has been industriously spread abroad through all the newspapers. Well, you know what importance I attach to such matters, and that 1 have been too long fighting with real rebels, with muskets iu their hand.?, to be scared by mere noncombatants, uo matter how high their civil rank or station. It is amusing to observe how brave and firm some men become when all danger is past. I have noticed on fields of battle that brave men never insult the captured or mutilate the dead, but cowards and laggard always do. I cannot now recall the act, but Snaicspeare records how poor Faistalr, the prince of cowards and wits, rising from the figured death stabbed again the dead Percy, a id di to the restaffs their apwerc irity, tment to publish my oflieial letters and reports. I assert that my oflieial report.? have been purposely suppressed, while all the power of tha press has been malignantly turned against inc. 'I do want peace and security and the return to law aud justice from Maine to the Rio Grande, and, if it does not exist now, substantially, it is for state reasons beyond my comprehension. It may be thought strange that one who has no fame but as a soldier should have been so careful t3 try t restore the civil power of the government and the peaceful jurisdiction of the federal courts, but. it is difficult to discover in that faet any just cause of offence to an enlightened and free people; but, when men choose to slander and injure others, they can easily invent the facts for the purpose when the proposed victim is far away, engaged iu public service of their own bidding. Rut there is consolation in knowing that, though truth lies iu th: bottom of a well, the Yankees have perseverance cuough to get to tli j bottom. Yours truly. W. T. Sueiiman." g-o - ;ciioral II lire-It's ZHilitnry Ca rotr i'iHogi aiiiicd by a Ilcjuil) iicau Press. From the State Sentinel. The Cincinnati Gazette, iu an article reviewing the military career of General llalleck, winds up with the following photograph of his distinguished services: "It has been said that he was kept as a standing scapegoat for military disaster; i but he ueleated his purpi.se by his activity in procuring disaster, aud in thwarting suecess. Wo can imagine 113 ue for him. except to perpetuate the Rom.in institution of an oflieial reviler of Generals, to keep down military pride. For this he has exhibited hoth positive and negative proof of jiialiiieations; positive by his zeal in abusivcncbs, and negative bv his total Tai lure in every other military performw i I . . i auce. Let nun oc Kept to tue oiiiariie is fitted for." This picture is life like, and will be recognized by the whole country. The following sketch of the Siege of Corinth is, also, exceedingly graphic, and exhibits the wonderful military genius of this assumed great captain cr Qonceited humbuir, whichever ma- be most applicable: 'Of aH the wonderful campaigns of this war, that against Corinth was the most extraordinary, Ruelfs Army of the Ohio, coining up in time to save our foces at Pittsburg Landing from annihilation, had next morning taken the offensive, defeated Reaurcgard and driven hitu to a rapid retreat, j'ut at that time, when, according to all the usages of warfare, the retreat should hare been followed up, and the enemy annihilated, the operations passed under the immediate direction of General llalleck, and with a heavy concentration of forces, he began seige ap proaches against Corinth, twenty miles distant. All the available troops in the West were outraged in this undertaking. All other operations were abandoned for it. It went forward at the rate of half a mile : day. When it approached Corinth the enemy evacuated at his leisure. Then Munchausen dispatches of demoralization of the enemy, and id captures of prisoners and guns, tried to save the affair from ridicule. And then the General who had used these fables to make a victory, charged their invention upon others IS ver alter he was the enemy of Rucll, who, in spiic of 1 hillock's neglect, had brought his ami' to the river in tinw to save the day, and had turned our disaster to the defeat of tho enemy. The capture of Corinth exhausted his guns, and his groat army became an army id' occupation." Indianapolis is overrun with rebel refugees of the blackleg pursuasion. On Friday morning a boy twelve years of age was f hot by one of these blacklegs, wantonly, pays the gambler, who was drunk at K'mo of tho shooting. A police raid is to be made, in consequence, upon ah th gamblers of that city, who, upon the f-nmc ncwspaperlal authority, comprise a very large proportion of the population.
Saved. There is a world of joy shut up in that little word, saved ! IIov"many a dawu of rich and golden beauty lor the soul has it ushered in, after a gloomy night of defer red hope and anxious watching ? It is always a sweet word to hear a sweet
word to T -f f TO mU:,C - : hps utter it-so full ot happier when the heart leels it. Ihe when the mean in ir voi'-e never breathes it but the fate bej comes radiant with joy and the eyes sparjklc with delight. J'iVcry chord ot the i heart vibrates with inexpressible pleasure I as its music falls upon the car, lou waiting in anxious expectation It has a history of its own, written in the mingled experience of sorrow and joy of many a soul. Few there arc who have not uttered it m more or le-;s meaning, through whose soul it has not sent a thrill of delight, filling it too full for utterance. Sound it out in the still of night, and sovne aching heait will take it up, and send it joyfully back again through the gloom and darkness. Whisper it ever so softly and there will be some soul that cannot eontain itself for very joy. It is the avenue through which the soul breathes out its overflowing gratitude. Its whole expression is that of thankiullucss. Saved ! and from what i Ah ! from a life of intemperance, of misery, of crime, of degradation, of shame, of infamy, and from death. If you have know;, kind reader, wha; it is to have had the dear object of your heart's best affections snatched from any of these calamities, you have found no word that would so fitly express the outgushing thankfulluess of vour heart, as the word saved ! Death of Hon. Mautin M. Ray. On Tuesday of last week, at Indianapolis, Hon. Martiu M. Ray departed this life, iu the 71st ear of his age. A'r. R. was born iu the State of Kentucky, aud at an early age removed to Indiana, settling in the county of Fayette, at Conuersville.

Andrew Kenedy, and Samuel Perkius gave to the bar of that district an eminence for legal ability aud forensic eloquence not equalled at that time nor siuee by any judicial district in the State. We remember him well as a man who excited our youthful love by his kindness and the interest he took in every laudable charitable enterprise. He was twice elected to the Legislature from Favette coauty; and upon his removal to Wayne county in ISoS, at once took a leading position as a conservative politician, and was several times elected to the Legislature from that county. The brilliant men of that period, made historic in the legal annals of Indiana, have nearly all passed away. Of th.m ail, only Judge Test. Judge Perkins, and John S. Newman survive.

They must wait upon the white men of South Carolina for the attainment of this privilege, or receive it from the military authorities or from congress, and whether either of the latter have- the power to grant suffrage, or change flection law in a state, inav- yet be the subject ot the Supreme court of the United States. It is iu this view that we object to the appearance of the chief justice on the political stage. As to the question of the extension of suffrage, there can be but little doubt. The negroes must and will have it, and there can be no reason why those who have borne the musket should not! take up the ballot. The detailcs of the! plan ought consistently to be left 1 1 the people of the states, if these sta!os are still in tho union, as the theory id' the president claims that they pre.

So far as mere precautious against assassinations are concerned, little is now needed.

On the other hand, Rutler swears that it wa3 intended that he should go, and that Grant knew he wa going." Frum this it would appear that Rutler, like other burglars, is prepared to swfar himself clear when given an opportunity to do so. How well he has acquitted himself as a witness for himself may be inferred from the rumor that the committee substantially vindicate him in its report concerning his failure at Fort liisher. Of course to" justify him is a censure of Grant and Lincoln for removing him. Times.
