, Tito Patent -ay Rake Swindle.
Tho opera tiona of the 3windlore of the Patent
Hay' Rake in Northern New York are thus de
scribed by the Poughkeepsie Eaqle :
The modus operand? bf the parties was aa fol
lows-: Arriving ia the country they separate,
taking different towns and circulating among
the - hard-fisted farmers, offering the most temp t
ing indaoemente, and usually succeed- in selling
a right to sell, kc, George N. Palmer'? hay rake
a nd; tender combined for $100. They represent it
as selling at retad at $85, and that it is bo per?
fect that no farmer can alford to do without it;
that thet purchaser of. the right can procure tho
rake. for $86 at the manu&ctory, and sell at
a profit of $60. To show that they have unbound?
ed confidence in the enormous profits accruing to
thc purchaser Jhey offer to toko his note for one
year, and in case the buyer does not make $200
?iront in that time, without counting ono machine
br his own use, .hey agree to take back tho
right or share free of charge. If the farmer
consents under the above regulations one of the
swindlers draws out a note in blank form which is
filled up prot orly, and then in order to make tho
buyer feel safe, the swindler, in some cases, turns
the note over and endorses on the back "not to be
used until th . end of the year, and then, in caso
Mr. ? ? (using tho name given in the note) has
not made $200 from tho sale of the article, this
note to be returned and not used at all." or words
to that effect, which 1 the swindler signs and tho
parties separate. Once ont of sieht tho swindling
operation begins, drat by the swindlor taking a
pair of scissors or a knife and trimming off the
edges of the note, when the back instantly sepa?
rates from the front, for the piece of paper ou
which was written the agreement to return the
note in one year if the farmer had not m ado any?
thing out of the sale of the article, was neatly
fastened to the note itself in a scientific manner
with mucilage. Having thus freed the note from
any inenmbrance, he proceeds to the next former
and gets it cashed, or gives it in payment for a
team of hones, carriage or what cot. By these
means it is estimated that this party has obtained
nearly $150,000, twenty-five or thirty wagons, nod
from s xteen to twenty horses from different farm?
ers in the western part of the State.
The Columbia Pheonix of yesterday says: "The
Kjecce of Brigadier-General Green, the comman
tr of this post, at the funeral obsequies of Col.
DeSaussure on Tuesday, was a graccfid tribute by
one gallant officer to another, who fell in the stern
conflict at Gettysburg, in which both were partici?
pants, but on opposite sides. This act is in keep?
ing with the courtesy manifested by tho command?
ant in tbe conduct of his difficult mission, and will
be appreciated by our people."
Some idea may be formed of the immense oys?
ter trade of Norfolk, from ' thc fact that one firm
in thai city sent North from September last to
within a Jbw days ago 104,685 bushels. The same
firm had, daring the busiest part of the season, no
less thWtorly?Beven'vesselB transporting oysters,

Our New York Letter.
[FROM OUR REGULAI! CORRESPONDENT. J
Nsw YORK. Miy 27.-As a Rood dessert is better
than an ordinary dinner, as the latter was repre?
sented by the first and second day's racing at
Jerome Park, and the former by thc races of tho
closing day, and as, moreover, every man should
have bis deserts, your correspondent attended tbo
races last Saturday, and found them worth attend?
ing and worth reporting. Before I speak of the
races, it is meet that I should acknowledge an act
of courtesy on the part of your distinguish?d ex
townsman, Dr. JOHN B. LRVTSO, of whom as repre?
sentativo of THE OHABLESON DAILY NEWS, I was
furnished with tho tickets-for self and friend
admitting one-or rather two-to the quarter
stretch, tho club stand, and all the posts of honor.
Such tickets which aie (riven erat ?itously to the
privileged few, cost seven doUars ?md a finit each
when purchased by any of the unprivileged many.
Arriving on tho ground and walking up and down
thc quarter-stretchiufront of the grand stand,
tho coup iPoeil was magnificent ia tho extreme.
Iho ladies were all in full uro is, and it seemed as
though a ball dozen Academy-of-Music folk) of
fashionable opera goors had made a raid upon Je?
romo Park, all equipped in their best opera uni?
form. Tho fair sex, both in point of persor al
beauty, the elegance of their dresses and the
stylishness of their two-in-band, and four-in-hand,
md six-in-hand turn-outs, almost made one forget
the gallant coursers, but the gallant coursers
ivould not allow their glory to be eclipsed evon by
?he ladles, and so behold them as they came forth
vi th their jockeys mount od.
As the noble steeds are walked out on the track,
0 contend in a moment in the great hurdle race;
is Blackbird, Birague and Black Bess show them
lelves, people who nave come out to the course
'or the express purpose of backing Zigzag, natur?
ally enquire after tho favorite, and ore much dis?
appointed on being informed, that be is still in
nourning for his deceased jockey, and will not
ake part in the race. Zigzag being withdrawn
Jlacaoird was the favorite at ten to ono, against
iirague and Black Bess, the question being
wo B. or not two B. and the three bees are soon
in the wing and flying along at a stinging pace.
?he horses are off Birague first, Black Bird
econd and Black Bess close at hand bi command
if the rear guard.' Over the first hurdle Black
)ird first, then Birague, and Boss still bi tho rear
) ver the second hurdle bi the same order. At the
bird hurdle the bird knocked off the top rail, but
opt on his way rejoicing; Birague fighting hard
or the first place, and Bess subjugated and lag?
ing behind. Here they come past the sta .id. At
be fourth hurdle the ebony colored bird bad in
reased the amount of d ivhght between Birague
nd himself, bu; at the fifth the latter, under au
aduatrious application of whip and spur, made
is jump almost simultaneously. Bess, mean?
while, is far behind. At the bist hurdle the bird
ad again added to the measurement of tbe empty
ir, and now for the fir-t tome does his jockey treat
lin to tbe whip and spur, which be duly acknow
xlges by increasing bis pace and coming bi to tbo
tand four lengths ahead of Birague, Bess out of
igbt.
Tbe second race was a dash of three miles, and
ras won by Loadstone, a Lexington colt, beating
lelaware and Floetwing in gallant style. The
hird race, a dash of one mile and a quarter, was
iso won by a i erington colt, owned by August
telmont. The closing race was mile heats between
'orbes' colt, DeCouicy, and Belmont's mare. Maid
f Honor-the maid winning the first heat, but
wing the next two and t io race.
We are to bave another sensation here bi the
ndress uniform semi-circus and semi-theatrical
ne, in the shape of Miss Lee Hudson (and a Hue
hupe it is said to be), a rival of Ada Isaacs Men
en Heenan, who distinguished herself last year
1 America (1 refer to Menken), by doing Mazeppa
ad this year in France, by having her counterfeit
resentment taken while Bested in the literary lap
f Alexander Dumas. Miss Hudson, wbo is to ap?
ear to-night at Barnum's in Mazeppa, is said to
B a Southern woman of the ''strongest kind of
jcesh proclivities," and wbat is more to the point
meat beautiful creature, with a combination and
form indeed where every God did seem to vet his
?1 to give the world assurance of something that
ven out-menken's Menken. Miss Hudson paid
ve thousand dollars a short time since for a horse
(tended to appear as Mazeppa, but some envious
arson poisoned tbe animal, w.iich has pone to his
st account, and Miss Hudson bas replaced the
ead stood by a live steed called Black Bess, which
; Said to be as handsome as ber mistress. I sh all
0 to Barnum's to-night to look at the scenery
eng the Hudson, and report in my next.
Au accident, which resulted fataly, occurred a
iw days ago on tbe schooner S. J. waring, about

Geld and Cotton looking up. MOULTRIE.
Cot tom Growing in (all lorain.
The San Francisco Bulletin says that "much ba?
rest is felt in tbe attempts still making to culti?
sts cotton on a large scale in California, and it is
dieved'a considerable breadth of land will be
anted to the staple this year. The appreciation
'tbo price since the prostration of Southern in?
ia try, and the es abnahmen t of cotton mills in
ir State, have created inducements of a strong
laracter. But there is a great lack of prociee in
imarion on tbe subject. We were shown to-day
me samples of green seed, or upland cotton,
own in Sacramento county last season, and
presenting a shipment of six bales, or about one
n in weight, wbioh came down on last night's
iat. The staple is of fair quality, and will com?
ae well with tile medium grades of the same
rictv grown in tho Southern States. The fibre
about five-eighths of an inch long, is o good
lor and fineness, and remarkably strong when
neted. We have been at some pains to ascer
in the particular locality where this cotton was
rown, bu1 have no information further than that
was in Sacramento county. In the absence of
lowledge as to tbe yield and cost of culturo, it is
at possible to speak as to its profitableness as a
op, but the quality of the cotton is good beyond
iv il. One of tbe great drawbacks attending the
il turo of new staple products in California is the
implete reticence ox parties who' make experi
lents. In consequence of this lack of iniorma
on, many trials are made with unsatisfactory te?
ilte, where one, if properly made public, would
ave sufficed, and saved the means and energies
f many persons for tbe development of other pro
acts which might prove of practical value to the
tate. On the other hand, where products are suc
388 fully raised, the lack of in to rm a ti n prevents
ther persons from engaging in its culture, and,
a in tile case of cotton-growing, no data can be
ad as to its value aa a orop in the future.
"It IB now over three years since the first ex
eriments in cotton growing were made in Cad
>rnia, and its culture has since been steadily
rosecutedin several districts. One would natu
ally suppose tbat by this time the business would
ave formed regu'ar channels through which some
ccurate knowledge could bo derived as to cu.ture,
ie kl, ?c.; but such is not the case. The sale of
ome-riiaed cotton is confined to a very few par?
ies in thia city, yet these parties are so
inch in tbe dark as to the extent of the crop
f 1866 as to be unable to definitely state
whether it was ten thousand or one hundred
bousand pounds; neither can they give
ny particulars connected with its grow
ag. Manufacturers, finding themselves with?
al data os to the supplies, hava ordered
rhat they need from the Atlantic States, by way
f the Isthmus, so that out planters really deprive
hemselyes of the most profitable market, winch,
y right, they should supply. No more certain
i et hod of destroying the inducements to grow
otton can be conceived than the withholding of
lformation, and plant?is have only themselves
o blame in the matter. The time bas long gone
y for secrecy concerning this and kindred pro?
ne ts. as tho market price cannot be enbmced
hereby, nor cm any Other advantage be derived.
Ve noeu population and a greater variety of pro
ucts, as each bi its turn increases manufactured
nd the wealth and prosperity of the State ; and to
elp supply this need we want precise information
oncerning all industrial enterprises and expert
lents."
Confucius ttnd Ute Chinese Claislca.
We learn that, as one of the consequences of the
pening of tue new mail route between San Fran*
?seo and China, there has arisen in California a
caire to learn something of the history and
ihilosophy of the Chinese. "To meet this in
roasing interest," says the San Francisco Bulletin,
wo learn that a gentleman of San Francisco,
horougbly versed bi Chinese bteraturo, ?B
nguged in exploration through the Chinese
lassies, gathering gems and pearls from the
imuus -Foui- Books of Confucius'-the
lost distinguished of the Chinese pbiloso
ibers. This work will contain a condensed bi
giaphy of the sage, SB well os an account of the
ife of his principal disciple Mencius. Thero will
Iso be notices of some of tbo ancient Chin?se
mperora and their ministers, and enough of an
iout history aud geography to give interest and
ender intelligible the frequent references in the
ireccpts of tbe great Chinese teachers to the con?
ti tn. TI of the count: y. The "Four Books" are,
md for many conturies have been, the Scriptures
-the holy Look of the Chinese. They are com
nitted tu inemory, and all classoa everywhere
brought;ut China can repeat a portion of them.
Lhere ia little doubt that the continuance of tho
Chinese empire to tho present clay, and the nature
)f Chinese institutions, political and social, are to
be traced to tho doctrines taught in the "Four
Books." To-day four hundred million of people
?cspo't the sayings of Confucius-perform robgi
)us ceremonies as the sages did, aud entertain
:be same general ideas un mental and moral phi?
losophy, and respecting spirits and tho future
?tate-as aro recorded in the "Four Books."
"The aphorisms and proverbs of this wondering
people will be of great interest, and will give us
m insigat into their modes of thought and lifo,
which we could derive from no other source. The
moat important, and perhaps interesting part of
the work, may be tbat wherein tbe teachiugs of
the "Four Books" are compared with the Chris?
tian Scriptures, and in which the present belief
and practice of the Chinese ore traced back
through centuries, up to the years in which Noah
Lived."
CURRENT TOPICS.
The New York Herald, in one of its editorial
paragraps, re m ar kB : "Now that slavery is abolish?

That tho French Academy should havo elected
IF. JULES FA HIE, tho very head and front of tho

nfinitcly to its credit, and is one of the most sin?
gular exhibitions wc have seen in a long time of ?
he triumphs of merit over party and prejudice.
Io was elected by a vote of 20 to ll, and owes
his snceess, it is said, to his wonderful purity of
inguago. M. FAVRE has not boen as successful
t the Bar as 31. BERBYER, M. LACHAUD, or M.
LLLON, because he lacks their fire and heart. His
tyle is cold and caustic, but elegant and finished
i the extreme. From the beginning to the end of
is speech there ie not a fault of rhetorio, of stylo,
f {rood taste, nor a moment'of hesitation, nor a
ilse word, nor an idea smothered in abad choice
f words. M. JULES FAYRE is a man of groat mo?
il courage, and dares to say more than any other
ian in the Chamber. He is aggressive in his
erson, in his style, in his attitude. He is less so
t the Bar,' and will be still loss so in the Acadc
ly. He looks fifty-six years of age, and carries a
xge quantity of grey, nearly white hair on his
ead. He is a tall, thick-set, hard-looking man,
ho rarely miles, and has neither congeniality nor
)mpanionship in him. Ho labors incessantly,
adis never tired.
COLORED EDUCATION is a favorite topio with our
adical exchanges. We are glad also to see theso
:bools, but fail to be equally surprised at their
se and rapid growth. Northern philanthropic,
lissionory and political societies send men and
loney out here to gather the young negroes into
?hool-honses, and tho said freedmen consent to
s taught by tho teachers sent them. What is
tere so wonderful in all this ? There need be no
mt, for somo years to come, to the number of
>lored schools and scholars; all thal is needed to
ultiply them both indefinitely, is plenty of pow
?r, and yon can teach the young idea how to
mot. At the beginning of this year the Bureau
ported 960 day schools and 247 night schools for
>lored people. Of these schools 333 were self
ipporting, and 290 were partly supported by the
eedmen, who owned 286 school-houses. Of the
achers, 972 were white and 458 were colored,
he number of pupils in the schools at that time
is 77,998, of whom 470 wero white. The average
tendance was 50,224. Fifteen thousand two hun
-ed and forty-eight pupils paid for their tuition,
m thousand two hundred and sixty-six were over
'toen years of age. Only 2302 wore free before
ie war. The New York Eoening Post estimates
at there is one negro nndeigoing education for
ery thirty men, womon and children, whereas ic
0 State of New York the attendance at school is
Udall y given at about one in every four of the
mle population.
As wo have reason to believe that everything
tating to matrimony, is endowed with a special
terest to a very large class of our moat highly
teemed readers, wo have no hesitation in giving
e following scrap of " census." In the year 1866
ere were 360,000 couples married in tho United
ates male and female, 720,000 ; or ono marriage
every 24 inhabitants of all ages and conditions.
ie marriage statistics for the City of Philadel
s, 7087, an increase of 223 over the previous year,
the men married, 3937 were nativos of the Uni
1 States ; and of these 3556 married women of J
e United States, 352 married foreign women,
d 29 married women whose nativities were an
own. The foreign men married numbered 2760;
whom 696 weie married to women of the United
ates, 2055 to foreign women, and 9 to women
lose nativities were unknown. Of the women
ir ried 4274 were natives of tho United States.
' these, 3556 married men of the United States,
S married foreign men, and 22 married men
lose nativities wero unknown. The women of
roign birth married numbered 2445. Of these,
2 married men of the United States, 2055 mar

Monuments ore tho order of the day. Sandwich
landers ore about to erect one in honor of Cap

their forefathers in eating him. This is all
'ht enough. And we sappoae it is a feeling of
rnowhat rimjlar compunction induces the city of
evidence, B. I., to talk of erecting at an expense
one thousand dollars, a masaivo rough boulder,
a memorial of two of the State's greatest sons,
iNONicDS and MIANTONOMAH. Or is Rhode la?

The Now York Herald, for what reason we ore at
loss to know, continues lo denounce CRASS, UN
3iWOOD, GREELEY, GERRITT SUTH, and all who
sro proximately or remotely instrumental in the
lease of Mr. JEFFERSON DAVIS, on what it per?
ita in terming "eiraw bail." Nor is it satisfied
ith mere abuse and vituperation, but it is doing
I it can to stir up the worst passions of tho mo?
le pulgus, by editorial loaders, such as the ono
stained in the Herald A Monday last, headed:
So Treason-The National Debt a National
rindle." We have already referred to this singu
r course of the Herald, and must confess that, ac
iBtomed as we are, and long have been, to tho
igaries and sudden summersaults of that v?rsa?
te and many-Bided sheet, we cannot but bo sur
ised at ita present bitter an i agrarian attitude,
f course it is galling that Mr. GREELEY should
ive got $50.000 worth of advertising from a Cop
srbead municipal corporation, and extremely un?
datable to a sensation writer like the Herald to
ive been outdone by the Tribune in the JEFF,
AVIS bail business; but these cannot be plead os
lequate reaaons for proposing repudiation of the
ational debt. We can also understand that the
rerald may have as one of tho objects in viow
i this erasa "o, to damage Chief Justice CHASE'S
lauces for tho next Presidency. But thia again,
would seem to us, could be managed in some
isa equivocal manner. To talk of impeaching
HASE for net appointing Registers of Bankruptcy,
i the Herald has been doing, and foi not having
ied Mr. DAVIS, ia simple fatuity.
THE CROPS.
THE COTTON CROPS.-We leam ft om a merchant
f this city, who has just returned from a visit to
av?rai of the Eastern countios of North Carolina,
lat the planters of that auction have failed to get
stand of cotton, and many of them aro now plo w
lg up their cotton fields and planting corn. The
pring has been backward ; wo may almost say
1?re has been no warm woathor ; and thc cold
iglit winds have becu very unfavorable to tho cot
jn growth. Tho young plant ia ono of tho moat ten?
er which s pring'out ot the ground ; tho seeds thia
oar were much better than those ootainablc last
oar and the year before ; tho plants c imo up tine
r, bot in a short time turned down, grew white and
ied. We havo often seen the samo thing occur
i cotton fields, when the seasons were unfavora
le, cold and wot. It is now too Jato in the Bca
ou to plant cotton ; and heneo, wo understand,
tie crop of that section may not be expected o bo
a largo as last year, when, from eevei al of these
ounties, largo amounts of cotton wore exported,
ne county (Edgccoinuo) having produced 30,000
alee.-Norfolk bay Book.
Tho Elvton (Ala.) Herald says of thc wheat crop
i that neighborhood : "Considerable uneasiness
as been felt and exprossed by our farmers in thc
ist few dava, in consequence of the appearance ol'
ust in some of tho cropa of wheat. It is not yet
general thing, and it ia hopod that if the present
ne, clear weather shunld continue for a few daya,
is progress may bo arrested. Ii we escape that
anger, the crop in this country will bo very fine."
We are informed by T. C. Moody, Esq., Clerk of
ur Couit, that h ! is now making arrangements to
lave our Court House recovered and repainted. A
oat of new paint at this timo will give to the
lourt House a much more imposing appearance
nd will add much to thc beauty of our beaut ful
quare. Let nature be aided by art, and soon we
rill have one of the handsomest villages, not only
n the State, but in tho South. Our officials seem
o bo iully awake to the importance of the practi
al applications necessary to make our town more

This is a very handsomely gotten up volume, [
furnishing a most serviceable manual on a branch
of industry that is steadily on the increase in this
country, and that is destined to becorno ono of j
great importanco oro many years. The uaturo
and character of thc book may bo inferrod from
tho following extract fiora the Proface :
"Wo couceivo that an elementary work on the
viuc, to possess the highest practical value of tho L
Amp tour, as woU as tho Gardener nnd Vincyardist, i
should treat of all tho facts aud principles involv?
ed in thc subject, laying them clearly in order bo
fore the atudont. and linking thom togotber with
?ust so much of tho iheory as is necessary lo ex?
plain lucidly their relation to onch oilier, and
jnite them in the mind of the student in ono har
nonious and pye terna tic whole. This is what we
nive aimed to" accomplish in the present work,
udulging in no theorizing speculations, and intro
hieing nothing of doubtful verification. We have
riven a simple record of our own practico and ex?
perience, stating no fact that wo nave not repeal
idly verified, and which may not bo ropcated by
>thers with like results. We have striven to make
t a safo guide to all.
"Although grape culturo, and especially wine
nakina, are yet in their infancy in trna country,
he principles and conditions upon which success
lepends are BO well established, that if we walk in
he full licht of the knowledge we know, we .need
read no doubtful path. Though the work is
itrictly elementary, wo have by no means intended
o make it in any degree superficial, and have
hcrefore labored to leave no important political
[ucBtion unsolved; indeed, some points, thai have
leretofore been entirely neglected, or very briefly
loticed, are hero treated with a degree of mi nut e
tess somewhat commensurate with their impor
ance, as will be seen, among others, in tho chap?
era on 'Varieties,' 'Ripening,' and 'Taste.' "

The following article, an editorial loader in the
ew York Tribune ot Monday last, ovidently wiit?
in by Mr. GREELEY, will be perused with interest
?r our readers :
TREASON TN CITO WAR,
Can a Government which, after a long and ardn
ls struggle, has put down an organized and form i
ible rebellion, proceed to try and punish its do
iated adversaries as traitors ?
This question is readily answered in the afurma
vo by ignorance and passion-perhaps also by
iedoin and calm judgment. Let us inquire and
insider.
Unquestionably, a Government may refuse from
io outset to recognize its domestic foes as bolli
srents, engaged in lawful war. It may say to
iona, as Maximilian did to his Mexican adver?
ses-"You aro not warriors, but banditti
rigandfj, robbers-whom, if cptured by my
rmies, I shall treat as arrested felons." But this
i a two-edged sword, as Max. ia very likely to dis*
ivor. The Government whioh treats its enemies
i felons must expect to have its adherents so
.eatod by thoso adversaries-to have its soldiers
lot or hung when captured, if it shoote and hangs
lose whom it captures. Whatever rule it acts
pon will surely work both ways.
On the main question, tho doctrine generally
eld by American statesmen and publicists prior
11860, will be found succinctly set forth by Daniel
Webster, in his address on laying tho corner-atone
f Bunker Hill Monumont (June 17,1825), where
l he anya ot tho consequences of that memorable
ombat :
"The battle of Bunker Hill was attended with
tie most important effects beyond its immediate
sault as a military engagement. It created at
nco a state of open, publio war. There could now
0 no longor a question of proceeding against in
ividuals, as guilty of treason >r rebellion. That
jarful crisis wau past. The appeal now lay to the
word; and the only question was, whether tho
pint and the resources of the people would hold
ut till tho object should be accomplished."
Bear in mind that our fathers had not evan de?
fered their independence on tho 17th nt June,
775, when they fought at Bunker Hill-u,vv, thoy
ad not definitively resolved on separation from
Ito mother cou ?try. in tho evo of British law
nd ot the law of nations, for that matter-thoy
; ere simply rebel \ rosisting tho authur itv and
1 jo army of thoir legitimate king. Yot Mr.'Web
ter holds that the naked fact that they resisted in
?attic array, under tho command of their constitu
Bd local authorities, precluded any civil proceed
iigs against 'hem as " individuals guilty of trea
on or rebellion."
Of course, Mr. Webst or did not originate this
lootrino. Ho was not the man to do tho Uko of
hat. He found it interfused throughout the en
ire Revolutionary history and literature. Thus,
Ihief Justice Marshall, in his Life of Washington,
elates that, when General Gage, commanding tho
Ling's forces in Boston, arrested several eminent
Vhig civilians and lodged them in jad, along with
nu- captured officers and soldiers to be dealt
nth as traitors, Washington remonstrated
'very seriously against this unjustifiable
aeaeure," (jays Marshall); while General
iago "regarded the Americans merely as rebels,
.nd treated thora as if the great national resistance
hey wero making on principles was to bo viewed
s tho act of a few daring and turbulent individ
tals," and, as such, wrote Gage : "prisoners whoso
ives are, by the laws of the land, destined to tho
:ord." W ashington at once instituted measures
or retaliation, should this violation of public law
.na of tho laws of war be carried into effect, and
hereby brought tho British General to a recogni
ion of tho just principles of civilized warfare, as
inundated by Vattel and other writers on public
aw.
James Otis, the Wyclif or John Huse of our
devolution, Alexander Hamilton (in tho Feder?
alist), and all our Revolutionary publicists of any
Liithority, refer to and quote from Vattei's Law of
Carious as setting forth th? judgment of the civil
zed world in accordance with tho doctrines of
iVobstcr and Washington abe vc cited. Yatlel, in
IIB chapter on Civil War, says :
"But what conduct shall the sovereign observe
oward tho iuaurgentH? I answor, in general,
such conduct as snail at the same time bo thu
nosl consonant to justice -gainst the moat aaluta
.y to the Stato. * * Subjects who rise against
heir prince without cause desorvo severe puniah
nunt : yet, even in his case, on account of tho
lumber of tho delinquents, clemency becomes a
luty in thc sovereign. * * ' ""A civil war
neaka thc bonds of society and government, or,
it leuat, suspends their force and effect; it
iroducca in the nation two independent partios,
vho conaider each other aa ouenuea, and ac
tnowledgo no oommon judge. Those two
jartiea, therefore, muat necessarily be con
iiderod as thenceforward conati'tuting, at
east for a time, two separate bodies, two
iistincfc socictios. Though ono of the parties
nay have been to blame in breaking the unity
if tho l?tate and resisting the lawful authority,
ihev are not the less divided in fact. Besides, who
iliad judgo them ? * * They stand, therefore,
,u precisely tho same predi .-aineut as two nations,
?'hu engaged iii a contest, and, being unable to
jomo lo an agreement, have recourse to ?rms.
rhia beiug the caso, it ia vei y evident that the
summon laws of wur ought to be observed by both
partiea in every civil war. For the aamo reasons
which render tho observance of those maxima a
matter of obligation between State and State, it
becomes equally, and even more necessary in the
unhappy circumstances of two incensed partios
lacerating tlioir common country." "T ?us thorn
exiat in tho State two separate 'bodies, who pre?
tend to absolute independence, and between whom
there is no judge. They decide their quarrel Dy
anne [not courts of civil law], and as two different
nations would do. Tho obligation to observe tho
common laws of war toward each other is there
tore absolute-indispensably binding on botn
parties, aud the same which the law ol' nature im?
poses on all nations in transactions between State
and State."
