menqedly the examination of Godfy
J 11yanAs, of Toronto, who testified that

Dr. Blackburn, whom he knew to be in
the 'rebel service. Blackburn took Hi

consented. Subsoquently he received a
letter from Blackhurn. date d in Havana

arrangements were perfected for the dis
tribution of infected clothing and for

Blackburn state4 that his'object was to
destroy the'Union army;, that the cloth
ing had been infected with yellow fever
and that other parties w'ere engaged
with him in infecting goods, amounting
to one million doIllars worth, with that
disease and the sauall-pox. The witness
understood from Blackburn . that the
clothing in a valise which was sent to
Presidentj Lincohi was infected with both
diseases. When witnesa returned to
Hamnilton, Canadq, he met Olay amid
Holcombe, the rebbl agents, who con
gratulated him, on his success, and lie
telegraphed to Dr. Blackbiurn. who came
down the next Iight ; nnd when witness

was all right, as Big No. Two bid gone
to Washington and lie was sure it would
kill at sixt y yards. Blackbur told Hy.
Riais that Thoaipson, another of the i:ebol
agents in Canada., would pay him, and
he went to Thompson,.who stated that
lie would be paid when they ivor
the goods lad.beei delivered according

,been imalled by deeds of sttch terrible
atrocity; but in none has it ever happened
that the vanqushled iv#re entitled un more
just or more ample grounds to sue for
unconditional mercy. . I is a biuriodis but
an incontrovertible 'fact, that on no occa
slon, from the commnencemhent of the'iar
to its close, have tlie bitterest enemies
of dte South ventured to charge one of
its generals with an inhuman or unsol
dierlike act. A sinilar observance may be
made in respeit to the Confederate - gov.
'ernment.
The announcement that Mr. Johnson
had not only excluded the President of
the Qonfederate States from thu provis
ions of an amnesty which it. was believ
ed would have been extended to all who
took par. in what the North regarded as
an act of rebellior but had set a price
upon his head, accordingly excited the
astonishment and the indignation of Eu
rope. It was difficult to believe that
the government of.the United States
could seriously contemplate the idea of
sentencing to a felon's death a man who
was the recognized head of six millions
of people; and assuming such a contin
cncy possible. it was equally difficult to
.elieve that the world witness the coi
swnuiation of so great a crime without
entering its protest against -so gross a
violation of 'those principles. of justice
and humanity which are supposed to
govern the actions of civilized States.
It its therefore ot. unreasonable that a
inember of the E1nglish H~ouso of Coin
riions should ask her Majestv's govern
tuent whether it was their :mtention to
notice oficially the proposed conduct of
the government of the United States, and
to employ sueih influence as they posses:
sed,to induce the latter to abanden what
would seen io be their obvious. desigo,
3ut, however iitelligibles'and however
generons migl* Be thu senloments which
prompted stehu qpestion, thete should be
but one reply. Cabinis p4i1not, .pUInit
theineilves 'O be0 swayed by sympathies
and must regulate their conduct by the
stern rules of* inteoruntional' law. The
government of tlie Uuii-d States are
sovereign within their own dohiinions,
A7d are entitled to administer their laws
*ith rigor if 'thiey feel so inclined. .It
they think prope- to deal out. the ful
measure'of the law to an individual whom
they look .upon-as an "arch rebel" and
tho chief orivinator of a moveient, which
brought. in its trqin a great civil war,
they are.legally entitled to do so, and it
is' not for the government of any other
4tte to say ther" nay.
We entirely dismiss from consideration
the flimsy p1rett-xt advan'ced by Presi
dent Johnson for the course which he
intends to pursue. Ij is impossible to
prove a neative, agid We 'wil not there
