Tli Colored Snirr4?rc Iarty. From the Chicrgo Time?, IG. "A Louse divided against itself cannot staad," and it U now plain that the republiciu part- is divided. Yesterday we published some extracts from a speech recently made by senator Sherman, of Ohio, in which, following the lead of Sunnier. Boutwcll, Phillips, the New York Inde

pendent, etc., lie assailed the reconstruc ! tiou policy of the president, and demanded that the southern states be subjected to military government until they were willing to accept "colored suffrage." The The New Y'ork Tribune, while earnestly supporting the principle, is not certain that it would be politic to come to a rupture with the president on it. It needs! but to continue its present course to prepare the minds of its readers for the rupture, whether it wishes or not to precipitate a collision with the president. As usual, the radicals in that party are driving the conservatives. Chief Justice Chase has left the Supreme court to transact business without his assistance, and has entered the field in behalf of the negroes, and Iiis partisans arc eagerly! following his example. The poor old f morning abolition newspaper concern ot this city has long restrained its wrath against the president, but csterday morn . ... - . , . - . xnZ t bccimc too Violent for repression It assails his whole svstem of reconstruc tion, and points out with much perspicacity and perspicuity the damage which it will inllict on tl"? -'interests of (Jod and humanity" and the members of ''a party lounded on a great moral idea'' engaged in these interests. We append its forebodings: 'The bars being thus let down to the rebels aud put up against the abolitionists in those states, the rebels will pour in and take possession of the state government. When this operation has been gone thro' in all the southern states, and their senators and representatives are sitting in congress, the north will wake up to the fact that not only is slaver) not abolished in fact, and the cause of past and future war not removed, but that the Union contains sixteen bitterly copperhead states. i opposed to its abolition, aud eager to re pudiate tlie national debt. And 'unionists" of the Holden and Sharkey class will vote the copperhead ticket ever time." The evils which will result from the i continuance of the present method of re construction beinr thus clcarlv shown, the duty of the president in the premises is indicated in the subjoined extract: While we sincerely deprecnie a difference of opinion between president Johnson and the maioritv of his party on this j'juestion, we cannot shut our eyes to the j fact that such, a diiTerencc already exists. I President Johnson if he is the man we , jrrcss with a manlv toleration and a hearty respect to the opinions of all." j It is precisely because president Johns i son is the man it '-takes him to be" that ...... , , .,, , ,A , j wmcti it is entitled, ana win uo an ne Jion1 orably can to avoid a rupture with it. lie 1 full)' appreciates the embarrassment to 'himself and injury to the nation which might result from the refusal of congress to porform the proper legislation to carry on the government. lut if he is met per i cmptorily 1V that bodv with a demand that ! no rutin tiuciiv tiiiu uiiioicv; i 11 1 1 1 u i-iu , I hat he ?hall treat the southern states as having forfeited all rights by secession, or, rather, a.s having lawful'v thantreJ their status in the unioa by an attempt at secession, he will treat the demand with a firmness consistent with his character and with his whole public life, in whatever situation he has been placed. He did not defy secession in Tennessee, when a senator and without power to meet it, to submit in Washington to insolent dictation from any body of men when he, as president, can wield the resources of the nation. It may be found that the enlarged view of presidential authority which has been industriously inculcated the past four years may be made applicable to those who have appeared as its advocates in a manner which will raiyc doubts in their minds as to its correctness. If Presideut Johnson is the bad man whom we predict the poor old morning abolition newspaper concern of this city will describe him to be before many months have passed, we should have no doubt that he would ecrcisc such powers as would be necessary to punish his opponents without regard to constitutional restrictions, and find in the doctrines of the party which elected him an ample justification. His respect for constitutional obligations, for which they now Assail him, will prove tl-cir safeguard against ucb insult, lawlessness and oppression as the democratic party have been subjected to during the war. . It is evident that the leaders of the republican party have determined upon pressing congress to a fight with President Johnson on Iiis reconstruction policy. We trust there is enough of conservatism left in that body to avoid the mischief to which it is being incited, but if wc arc mistaken in this, it is reasonably fafe to assume that it will come out of the contest very much as I'utler did with the mason at Lowell. Considering that a presidential election is somewhat remote, the political questions of the day arc of unusual interest, and promiso to become daily more interesting. m r

Invi to be Treason. Tried for At bngth, says the Malone (Jazctte, it secerns to be authoritatively settled that .lefi'erson Davis is to he put upon trial hefore a court and jury lor the alleged crime of treason, committed against the government of the United States while acting as the agent and representative head of seven or eight millions of people. It is said that Charles O'Conor h:is received the Presidential "permission" to defend him. It will be a splendid defence, and will not fail to revive the recollection of these great principles of State Rights and self government which constituted the crowning glory of the system founded by the fathers of the Republic. The trial, even, of Jefferson Davis for treason proves that c-ystem to have been overthrown. Dut we auree with the editor of the Metropolitan Record, that by means of this trial before a legal and constitutional tribunal, (,wc shall at last have an opportunity of ascertaining, according to the new principles of government which were 1 inaugurated recently 111 this country, what treason means, and how it is to be defined hereafter. h'clf-goTcrnment is to be put on trial in the person of Jefferson Davis, and it could not find a sterner, a truer, a braver, or a nobler representative. The way in which this illustrious character has been hummed hy newspapers that have exercised the freedom of the press but to abuse and degrade it, is auother iustance of the degradation to which wc have sunk. He has been maligted, vilified, made the object of the lowest blackguardism and scurrility. A vile and iufumous story has been concocted that he attempted to escape in hi wife's dress. It is needless j to say that this has been proven a pure fabrication; but Jefferson Davis may for- j give the malicious representations of liisi enemies if they only permit him tobe heard in Iiis own defence. His is no cra-j ven nature that will shrink from the rc- j sponsibilitics with which he was charged j b- sever: million of men. who proved by thur sacrifices that they were deserving ot freedom and self government. Let him have a fair trial, and no matter what his political enemies here may say, the world will render a verdict in his favor that history will not fail to approve and endorse." ! -...V3. J TIic ipccl or llailionds. The I! rent Western Express to Kxeter, j England, travels at the rate of forty-three j miles an hour, including stoppages, orj fifty-nine miles an hour without including stopp.-ige. lo attain this rate, a spceu ot sixty miles an hour is adopted midway between the stations, and in certain ex perimental trips seventy miles an hour! have been reached. A speed ol seventy miles an huur is about equivalent to thirty yards per second, or thirty live yards between two beats of a common clock. ; All objects near the eye of a passenger j traveling at this rate will pass by his eye j in the thirty fifth part of a sccoud; and if j thirty-five stakes were erected at the sidej of the road, a yard asunder, the' would j not be distinguishable 0110 from another,! if painted red, they would appear colleetivelv as a continuous Hash of red color. If two trains with this speed passed each other, the relative velocity would be sev enty yards per second; and if one of the 1 trains were seventy yards long, it would pass by in a single second. Supposing the Ii a-, iim il u'hwdi df'i'A- cnr-li M Iriin to 1 have driving wheels seven feet in diameter, these wheels will revolve five times in a second; the valve moves and the steam escapes ten times in a second; but as there are two cylinders, which act alternately, there are really twenty puffs or escapes of ste-am in a second. The locomotives can be heard to "cough" when moving slowly, the cough being occasioned by the '.ibrupt emission of waste steam up the chimney; but twenty coughs per second cannot be separated by the ear, their individuality becoming lost. Such a locomotive speed is equal to nearly oneforth of that of a cannon ball; ami the momentum of a whole train moving at tueh a speed would be nearly equivalent to the aggregate force of a number of cannon balls equal to one fourth of the weight of the tj-ain. 1 Exchange. The BJi-IIigeronl Itigtil or iclcl. It was proposed in England, in 1777, to bring the Americans who had been taken prisoners in the war to England, and there try them for treason. Upon this the great orator Edmund Rurke. the champion of constitutional liberty in the Rritish Parliament, said: "War is at present carried on between the King's natural aud foreign troops on one side, and the English iu America on tho other, upon the usual footing of other, wars, and accordingly an exchange of prisoners ha3 been regularly made Irom the beginning. If, notwithstanding this hitherto equal procedure, upon some prospect of ending the war with success, the administration prepares to act against those as traitors who remaitnn their hands at the end of the troubles, in my opinion, wo shall exhibit to tho world as indecent a piece of injustice as ever civil fury has produced. If the, prisoners who have been exchanged have not, by that cx change, been virtually pardoned, the cartel, ( whether ka vowed or understood) is a cruel fraud, foV you have received the lifo ofa man, and you ought to return a life for it, or there is no parity or fairness in the transaction. ,: , . If, ou tho other hand, wc admit that they, win arc actually exchanged arc pardoned, but contend that you may justly reserve for vengeance those who remain unexchanged, then this - unpleasant and unhandsome eousefuenc'o will follow: that you judge of the 'delinquency of mcu, picrcly by the time of their guilt, and not by(the heinousness of ,itj, and you make fortune dud accident, 'und' pbl th nvral

Who has ever lierd of capitulation, and parole of honor, and exchange of prisoners in the late rebellion in this kingdom ? The answer to all demands of that sort was: Wc can engage for nothing, you arc at the King's pleasure. We ought to re-' member that if our pre.-cnt enemies be, in reality and truth, rebels, the King's genlity and truth, rebels, the King's gencrals have no right to release them upon any conditions whatever, and they arc themselves answerable to the law, and as much in want of pardon for doing so as the rebels whom they release." John Randou-u. lohn Randolph, of Roanoke, was the strongest leader that the radicals of Virginia ever had. lie was the warior who prepared the way for the formation of a uew school of politics under Mr. t.'alhoun. He was a small, dark man, with beardless face, and an intensely black eye. He was proud of his desccut from Pocahontas, and his Indian blood was easily discernible. His voice had a very peculiar ringing quality, which gave the listner the feeling that the fine weapon vhich he used was twisted around after entering his antagonist. He did not use the toinmahawk, but the finest of rapiers. He was remorseless in his sarcasms, and was ready to stand by them in the held. He was not bad-heartea, how

Amf.n. --Whca the Executive guillotine falls on the neck of Edwin M. Stanton, (is the language of a cotcmporary that will meet with a heartfelt response in the bosom of every rightminded man,) one universal jubtlatv will echo and reecho throughout the length and bredth of the laud, for never did a monarchy, or aristocracy, or oligarchy give the world a more perfect incarnation of the spirit of despotism than dwells in the body of the apostate Democrat who lords it over the War Department." An Abolition paper asks the ITrbaua Union if it considors the war as a failure? The editor responds: "Is the war a failure ? Not entirely, You have 'made threo thousand millions of debt, destroyed two thousand mollions of property' i n- slaves, four thousand millions in dwellings rind farm improvements; made eight hundred skyrocket banks, not a court of justice in any Southern State,' and where Federal courts aro pretended to exist at the north, they arc not trusted, with the 'trial of .'bflences made such by Congress.

Well will it be for our country and the world, if Mr. Johnson, true to Iiis former record and true lo his early political educati shall set himself at work to restore on , j shall set himself at work to restore the j landmarks of that glorious old party which j bris ever been the rock of our safety and! the bulwork of our defense. Chang in; Xames-State Mottoes. The Richmond Mhiy, whose motto is the ancient one of the Virginia coat of arms, approved by Patrick Henry and his compatriots, "Sic S'niptr iti-anitts,' has dropped it at the demand of the Provost Marshal, Gen. Patrick. 0 it seems it is iu the province of provost marshals to annul the motto of a State. In this case the offence consisted in the fact that the i motto named had been adopted by the miserable assassin whose deeds, too, it may be added, is condemned by no section more earnestly than by the people of Virginia. Here is a change that will be. perhaps, mre generally sanctioned.

Practical Amalgamation. The uew teachings of the Abolitionsits that a negro is the equal of the white man, is having rather a practical effect in the lower end of the country. In one of these townships the population has been increased by the birth of two Hue healthy mulatto children. A certain farmer, said to be extremely "loyal," some months ago employed two scrvauts, a white girl and black man. They were taught the doctrine of equality, obliged to eat at the same table, and were otherwise treated as "equal before the law." The consequence wus an "accident" happened, and the white girl became the mother of a bouncin" young "American citizen of African descent." The father and mother were sent away, and another brace of servants was obtained. This time the man was white, and the girl was black. Things moved on in the old way, and under the same doctrine of equality of the races, tho same accident repeated itself iu! a few months, aud auother. member was added to the household of the "loyal" farmer of molasses and water completion. What else cau be expected under the, present teachings of the forum and pulpit? The loyal farmer ought to be made to support both babies. Doylettotcn (".) Demo erat. Seek society.

Some Wisconisn soldiers who had followed Sherman through his grand march, and shared his triumphs, got into conversation at the Detroit and Milwaukee depot, aturdar evening, with a few other soldiers who had" been with Grant, in the army of the Po tomac. During the discussion one of Grant's soldiers said something obejetionable about Sherman, which the latter's champions took up immediately, and pitched in for a fight. The Sherman boys proved too "'hefty" for the others, and drove them off up the hill. Theyshoitly afterwards returned with reinforcements, but were quieted down before a second engagement was entered into. Detroit Free Press, June lo. General Sherman made a speech it" Chicago, Tuesday night, in which he said: 'Now there is peace all the way from here to the Gulf, and you, gentlemen, know what you must do now. Instead of destroying, you must build up; instead of insulting, you must conciliate, instead of discouraging, you must encourage those who arc willing to aid us in building up this widely diversified land. You cannot expect the people of Louisiana and the people of North Carolin- to feel as we do; all parties have their prejudices, and we must respect theirs as they must respect ours.

A sheriff was once asked to execute a writ against a Quaker. On arriving at his house he saw the Quaker's wife, who in reply to tho inquiry whether her husband was at home, said he was, at triesame time requesting him to be seated, and her husband would speedily see him. The officer waited patiently for some tims when the fair Quakeress coming into the room, he reminded her of her promise that he might see her husband. "Nay, friend; I promised that he would see thee, lie has seen thec ! He did not like thy looks; therefore he avoided thee, and hath departed from the house by another path."
