J"X)LUMBIi^7 Friday ?oraing, October 5, 1866. ?Jc?Frrsou Unvi?. We lierai this brief article with this honored name-"the distinguished prisoner." us he is glibly called by papers North and South. The man? ner in which the ease nf Mr. Davis has been manipulated, is disgraceful to both tho departments of the <?o vernment who have the matter under immediate charge-the Executive and Judicial. It is Mle for the National Intelli? gence); to say that "the President liars no control over the subject." That journal knows, as the whole country knows, that Jefferson Davis if a mi'i tary prisoner, and could and ought to he paroled equally with any officer nf the (so-called) "rebel" army. However much we esteem the Intelli? gencer as an ably conducted conserv? ative journal, we regret to see it use Mr. Davis* ease as a parly instrumen? tality in favor of the President. It avers that the demand for the trial of Jefferson Davis comes from the radi? cal dis?nionists-it comes from every Southern community, conscious of his innocence, and to use the fact of the delay of the trial as an-antago? nistic measure to radicalism is utterly absurd. Even the leadiug journals of Eu? rope cannot understand why an ac? knowledged feeble man-no nuire guilty than the humblest private in tue ranks of the Confederate army-. should be incarcerated unto death. Thc attempts to make this matter a party measure, and that in favor of President Johnson and his party, is utterly unworthy of such a high toned journal as the National Intelli? gence '.. All the usual party sophistry, in such a case as this, must be re? garded with feelings of disgust by the right-thinking men of every sec? tion, and it is a blur and stain on the well-known and generally-believed characteristics of Andrew John? son, th.it he does not cause his former peer in the councils of the nation to be either brought to trial, as the humblest alleged criminal would have been long since, or, as Commander-in-Chief, to release him. lt is a sign of weakness we did not expect, from the President's known firmness, and. if the continued in? carceration of Mr. Davis is oue of political policy, and held so by thc President and his friends, it is sim? ply peurile. If Jefferson Davis should .die in prison, Mr. Johnson should ask himself upon whose head his blood would be. He might class himself with the radical judges, Chase and Under? wood, but, in the judgment of man? kind, it would not absolve him, who, by the signature of his name, in ten seconds, could release him on parole or pardon him. Tho policy which, from timidity, forbids snell generous action on the part of any Executive, is incompatible with true Executive prerogative, and proves that the in enmbent is not equal to the emer geney, or has not the virtue, man hood and patriotism to rise above th< considerations of personal or parh policy, for the purpose of executing justice and judgment. We now learn, from the Nationo Intelligencer, of Monday, that "Judg< Underwood and the Chief Justic have come to the conclusion, tba because of the legislation of the las Congress, the adjourned-Court can not be held; consequently, the eas of Mr. Davis, with all others, mus be postponed to a future day." 'Che Chief Justice and his Distric .Judge do not inform us what the k ;j,islation is that renders necessar tin--, further delay. In the*meat time, the prisoner languishes i steadily declining health, and his fi mily is rapidly coming to want, wiri! the honor of a great country is bein sacrificed at the hands of its highes judicial officers, either to protect pe; sonal reputation, advance personi aspirations, or to gratify political an niosity and hatred. In the futui history of this country, tho mamig* mont of this case will Vie a blot upo its pages that no explanation can en dieaie. The New York Baily News says < the New York Timen that it has "got back like the canine quadruped 1 the rejected contents of his stomac or the porcine female to ber bath fluid impurity." The Democrats and Johnsonites Cincinnati have fused, and will ho a joint Convention to nominate U members of Congress and a coun ticket. mpji -iiMMiMiBuMBiii i-wurim-- ? ???'???-??? The Crisis. j i Hou. 13. F. Perry, io reply to an ? invitation to attend a conservative ' ratification meeting in New xork, . wrote an able letter, from which we i make th:> following extracts. Speak- j : ing ol' the freedmen, he says:' In regard to the freedmen, there is a disposition everywhere to protect them in their persons and property, ' and our laws in South Carolina will ' soon l>e altered so ;.s ?,0 give them the . right to testify iii all eases, and be ? tried as white men aro. 'This has | already been done in many of the Southern Slates. ll is impossible for the General Government to con? tinue for any length of time its guard? ianship of flu negro. This must devolve on the State Governments, and the people among whom they live. "Moreover, thc freedmen will soon find that the Southern people are their best friends. They stand in need of their labor, and must employ them. The experience of thc last j twelve months proves unquestionably that the negro has dime better, and have been better eared for, where there was no military garrison or Freedmen's Bureau. The only places wkerfe there bas been any disturb? ance in South Carolina or the oilier! Southern States, have been where there was an interference on the part of tlu: military authorities. The attempt of tho radical party to force negro suiVrago on the Southern States is the height of folly, injustice aud madness. In all of the Northern States, witli perhaps <>ne or two ex? ceptions, the negro is denied the right of unqualified suffrage. And i yet in these Northern States the no- j gro has been free for a great number of years, and bas had au opportunity of being educated and learning the duties of a voter. With what justice or propriety can the Northern people ask the South to give the right of suffrage to hundreds of thousands of 1 ignorant and stupid negroes who j have just escaped from slavery, when j they deny the same privilege to the comparatively few of the same race i among themselves, who have been j free all their lives, and who have been I taught the duties of a citizen? He thus refers to the usurpations of the radical Congress: A long bill of indictment might be preferred against the 'Tump Con-; gress"' by their constituents when I they come before them Ibis fall for re-election, and on every count of the indictment they would be convicted, before an impartial jury, of want of patriotism and reckless disregard of the interests of the country. They have perverted, disregarded and trampled on tile Constitution which they were sworn to support. They have done everything in their power to prevent a restoration of the Union. They have excluded the loyal repre? sentatives of ten States from Con? gress, in violation of the Federal Constitution. They have passed un? constitutional laws destructive of tin rights of the States, and tending to an absorption of all power in the Central Government. They have passed bills over tho President's veto, with less than two-thirds required hy? the Constitution. They have pro? posed amendments to tho Federal Constitution affecting the vital inte? rests of the Southern States, without letting those States vote on the pro? position, or be heard in their defence. They have levied taxes on tho people of the Southern States without rep? resentation, and in violation of the great principle involved in the Ame? rican Revolution. They have been guilty of the most wasteful and ex? travagant expenditures of publie money. They havo taxed the poor white man in all of the Northern States to support, feed, and clothe the lazy, idle, vicious and vagrant negroes in the Southern States, making the honest and indus? trious white man work to support the idle, roguish black man. They have appropriated and given away immense domains of the public lauds to a parcel of land-jobbers, who have no claims on tho Government. They have taken, in vi dation of law aud justice, the lands of the proprie? tors in South . Carolina and other States, and given them to their tol? mer slaves, leaving the proprietors and their families to beg their food, or perish. And they have doubled their own salaries, ut thc close of the session, pocketed thc money, and gone home to electioneer with it, to secure their re-elections-improperly taking the people's money to corrupt the people themselves. Will the Ame? rican people tolerate these abuses any longer? Will they re-elect them to inaugurate a bloody civil warnt the North? Will men of capital in New York jeopardize their fortunes and Government securities, by electing sucii men to Congress? Will the pool laboring man consent to bc taxed any longer to support tho negro idleness': Will the friends >f constitutional liberty make no effort to redeem theil Government? Let them all rise ny in the majesty of their strength, and clean out the Augean stable, at tlu fall elections, and then we shall hav< a united, happy and prosperous conn try once more, through tho mercie! of God. He correctly states the feelings o I the Southern people in the subjoinec J paragraphs : j We of the South cannot be said t< live in a republic, or in a free Go vernment, when we are heavily taxec without representation, excludet from all offices under the Govern neut, and have thc Constitution .hanged and altered, affecting our ioarest rights nud interests, without illowing us to say ono word, or give my explanation in opposition. But his matter is bandied with great ibility in the address of the Philadcl )hi:i Convention, and heeds no fur? ber illustration. The people of the Southern States iro ready and willing to stand by and ifiirm ?ill that wa ; done in that Con? tention. Tho Convention was oom .osod cf tho representative men nen who know their feelings and ?.uitimcnts-and expressed them in ?io address and platform of princi? pe: adopted by tho Convention. It ms boon well said that thc Philadel? phia Convention was tho most im? portant national assemblage ol' per? sons since, tho Convention which idopted tho Constitution of the United States. That body gave a Constitution to the Republic; thc Convention in August last have at? tempted its restoration, and thc re? storation of thc Federal Constitution, t cannot believe that their attempt will fail. [ have confidence in thc virtue and intelligence and patriot? ism ot {lie American people. They may bc lcd astray for a time, by art? ful and designing men, but as soon is they discover their error, they will correct ii. It is to be hoped that tho people of j Xe.v York and Pennsylvania, and of i di the North-western States, will j buckle on their armor for the fall j [.lections, und determine on victory, rt is tin- most important election that i ver occurred in thc history of our country. On it. in my bum' le opi? nion, depends the peace and prospe? rity of Hie republic, ii liol its exist? i?me as a Government. 'i'lie only issue now before the country is the restoration ol' the Union, mu? it mattel's not whether the candidate belonged to ono or the other of iii" past political parties. 1 There are t imes when every good and put riot ie mau should lie willing to sacrifice party for his country. But in this contest there is no sacrifico of my political principle of either party, i:; uniting to sustain the Presidentin saving thc republic. THE COTTON TKADK OF MEMPHIS. At the annual meeting of the Cham? ber of Commerce ol' Memphis, eui Monday last, the secretary reported the receipts ami sales of cotton in that city, from the 1st of .September. 1865, io thc :;ist of August. 1866, as follows: Number of hales sold, 172. 215; weight in pounds, 79,720,361; I amount ot money paid for same, $1,600,799. besides this, there were 11,153 bales of Government cotton received and forwarded from thecity -making au aggregate of 18-1.368 bahs for th'.- year. The Avalanche estimates that. 250.000 bales will reach Memphis tibs season. < -*-<>-?- - 1M MU .KATION TO Til IS STATE.-The Nev York Thnea, of Monday, says that Mr. .1. S. Kellery, of Pennsyl? vania, who went to .South Carolina, nt tho request of a company intend? ing to bny land ba- agricultural pur? poses, gives a favorable report of the fertility of the soil and of the dispo? sition of i lie inhabitants towards emigrants, tlc says be linds tho peo? ple kind-hearted ami affable, afford? ing a hearty welcome to a Tl good citi? zens who come to settle among them. .N ATIONAL EXPBESS CoitPAXY. -The Richmond Tim'-*, alluding to the re? cent assignment of all thc property, rights ami credits of thc National Express Company, made for thc bene? fit of its cr?dite rs. says: "Owing to financial embarrass? ments ami complication, this was de? cided on, under advice of counsel, as the course best, adapted to the state' of affairs. Tho property and assets of the Company arc estimated from bl80,000 to ^200,000, which, with the live ?1er cent, on the last call, if fully paid in by the stockholders, will reach, it is' alleged, about, 8000,000 assets, with, it is stated, about 8175, 000 liabilities. Thc regular meeting of tho Board of Directors will take place in October, when, it is under? stood, an effort will bi1 made for a thorough re-organization of thc Com? pany. " THE RADICAI? PARTY.-Thc New York Krcning Post is a Republican paper - a leading Republican paper and is so recognized throughout the country. Thc Post recently favored its readers with this paragraph: "With a blundering and chaotic policy, such as that imposed .upon it by Messrs. Morrill. Stevens, Sumner and thc Trjbunc-a polity which seeks to do everything through the Government, and leave nothing to private ingenuity, wisdom and effort; which declares tho President to be a traitor, and in inc. same breath quad? ruples his powers; which declares he contemplates usurpation, and insists on a course which alone makes such crimes legal-with such a policy the Republican party cannot live, and ought not to live. Its success would lie a calamity to the country." (icu. Prcckinridgo and family are at Geneva, Switzerland. ? Criticism. The following keen, but merited, criticism on that pretentious literary New York weekly, the Round Table, is from the Richmond Times: A small coterie of clever and sharp witted Bohemians started, some years ago, a weekly literary journal in New j York, which gives promise of much j greater longevity than any of the host of feeble imitations of Pundi I which have fizzled out in Gotham like damp pop-crackers. It is called the Rou,id Table-not that its knights resemble the stalwart companions of King Arthur, but from the fact that thc small round table of the cheap eating-houses is the. place where the New York Bohemians, under the in? spiration of beer, achieve their most brilliant literary triumphs. The Round Table is a pinch-beck imitation of ? the Saturday Review, Pall Mall Gazelle and the Cornhill Journal, and claims to be the most aristocratic of American journals. It pretends to most intimate acquaintance with the secrets of the'fashionable world of New York, and it seems to have the run of the servants' balls of Madison Square and Fifth Avenue. Its inti? macy with the mysteries of the fe? male toilet is quite astonishing, and its revelations respecting the habits of the ladies of the higher circles of New York are worthy of Ned Bunt line. The knights of this Round Table are perpetually tilting at red silk cor? sets, tilting skirts, and never wearies of the assertion that smoking and drinking aiv the indispensable accom? plishments of the female portion of tlie. most refined society of Gotham. The leading editorial of this large, handsome and clever paper is devoted to "Tilting Skirts," an article of fe? male apparel in great demand with thc ladies of New York who have pr? tty feet and ankles, but held in great aversion by those who are not blessed in that particular. The Rrtnnd Table asserts that grave judges, solemn doctors of divinity, sedate physicians and care-worn "bulls"' and "bears" from Wallstreet devoir much of their valuable time upon windy days to the study of "tilting skirts." If we are to believe the man milliners of the Round ! Tah),\ tho tilting skirts are at this time more the rage in New York than Biston. - . *? THE RADICAL BKVOI.UTJONAKY I PABTY. - Under tho head of "Im? peachment Next." the New York Sit/i I says of <he radicals: ! "At first, they only required the j preservation of the Union, thc. they ? demanded freedom for the slaves; : then they wanted certain guarantees for the protection of the freedmen, and so on until they reached the pre sent point, when they require the South to confer the suffrage privilege j upon the freedmen. It is somewhat doubtful what position they will next assume, but we shall not be greatly surprised to find them following .the leadership of Wendell Phillips, in demanding the impeachment of Pre? sident Johnson. Phillips is the real ' leader of the radical party, although I he is usually a few months in advance I of the main body. He was the first ? to evy out for emancipation; he was i the first to demand suffrage for the free riman, and now he is the first to declare in favor of impeaching the President, i "Does any one suppose that the radicals would be content, even if the constitutional amendment were adopted by every Southern State? Is it supposed by any one that they would then be willing to accord rep? resentation to tho Southern States? No; the party is necessarily aggres I sive. It must go on from one degree ? of radicalism to another, until it is ! stopped in its course, and then its eud will come. The conservative people of the country should ponder over and reflect upon this subject now, for radicalism, like a plant, must either grow and strengthen or wither and decay, and if the people desire to check it, before great mis I chief be done, they have now no I time to lose." 1 NAPOLEON'S IDEA OP I/TBEKTY.-Re ! ferring to a recent address by Persig ; ny, in which Napoleon was sketched I as the "king of the people," the Sun remarks that the "mission" of th? ; "Man of Destiny" bas been such a I myth to the political student forsomc ! years?back, that we are glad to have I some insight into what it really con I sists of. M. de..Porsiguy states it to be the spread of liberty. Civil liber? ty, according to Webster, is the liber? ty of men in a state of society, 01 natural liberty, so far only abridged and restrained as is necessary am: expedient for the safety of the in terest of the society, state or nation but according to Napoleon, as ex pounded by the Due de Persigny liberty consists in a freedom of ac tion and thought allowed to a people, j only so far as it chimes with the wil . of their ruler. In France, this maj j be a correct view to take of the vola* j tile character of the French nation j but it conveys no better idea of rea liberty, considered with reference t< ; the world in general, than to hold nj i the journals of France ns fair sample: j of the liberty of the press. I If you wish to know how an asso eiate speaks of you to others, marl how he speaks of them to yon. A dispute between friends of i I corpse caused a fight at theLouisvilh ; cemetery. THE COST OF WAIL- The New York Mercantile Journal, in an editorial on this subject, snows, by statistics, tho effect of this scourge upon the coun? tries of Europe, and from which we condense the following: According to the statistics of Mr. Germain Sarrat, the uumber of men taken from their families in France by war, between the years of 1791 and 1-S14, amount to thc appalling number of 4,556,000. The amount ot' money expended in war by tho English Government, during the same period, is set down at the enormous sum of S 1.075,000, Ot io. The amount of written debts of Europe incurred almost entirely for war purposes, amount to 810,885, 100,000. of which amount Great Bri? tain alone expended$3,338,000,000. The losses thus stated aro only tho surface estimates of the expenditures of life and force, and if the inquiry was pushed into all the ramifications of private loss ami outlay, the totals would amount to ten-fold the sums officially stated. If we penetrate farther beyond the bloody tinsei veil called "("lory." to ga/.e upon thc moral and social residue of crime, shume, sorrow and degradation that are literally the capul morttium of every war, such a spectacle would meet our gaze as would chill with horror and remorse any being bat the relentless arch-enemy ol' man. INHUMANITY OF A, FREEDMEN'S Br KEAT; AGENT.-The San Antonio (Texas; Ledge? give-, the following: "During thc late unusual wet season, (Ole of the agents in this city, be? longing to the educational branch of the Bureau, in order to obtain pos? session of a room occupied by a pool negro woman, willi three or four children., procured a dray, thrust her and her helpless little ones out of tile house, and had them taken oft'on thc dray and deposited out upon thc open field adjoining the new Episcopal Church. Tiler.- she was in thc rain and mud. unsheltered, uncared for, with <>ne oi' her children sick and she weak and destitute. In that for? lorn condition, they were seen by a charitable lady living near by. Thc lady (a former slaveholder) had the desired relief promptly furnished. But, alas! too late to suv?' the life ol the sick (mild-it died. Another lady (a former slave-owner) had the dead child properly dressed and carriedotl to be buried. Since, then, the woman herself and one or two of thc other children have gone to that 'bourne.' supposed and hoped to bi; beyond the reach of the Freedmen's Bureau."' Mon.-: REBELS.-Greeley says the insurgent Cretans appeal to tho United States for mediation in their behalf against the tyrannous rule oi thc Turk, lt is bat natural that n people struggling against oppression, and lighting for their liberties, should look to the United States for sympa? thy and aid. The former they can? not fail to command; ?ind let us hop? that their appeal to our Government will not be made in vain. Our na? tional and time-honored policy for bids our intermeddling with thc com plications of European polities; but i ought not to prevent us from throw ing our influence on the side of ai oppressed and suffering people. As between Russia and Poland, am as between the Confederate State: and the United States for instance - -< .- - PRESENCE OF MIND. -In Yarmouth Mass., a few nights since, Mrs. Eb zabeth Fishe?. while engaged in pat ting a strange kitten out of her house discovered a man wrapped in a qnil under a cot-bedstead in one of th rooms. She refrained from makin; any alarm, but continued calling tin cat, and having hastily put on som clothes, went to a neighbor for as sistance. On her return with aid the intruder, finding his presenc discovered, succeeded in escaping leaving his hat. He bad searchei some drawers where valuable paper were kept, but found no mono therein. ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE.-We bav the pleasure of recording anothe "earthquake" in the far West. A election took place in Montana Tei ritory, on the 4th instant, and th Democrat ticket was carried over th radicals by a majority of 2, Ot IL Thus it is throughout the West Kentucky gave nearly 50,000 agains the radicals. Idaho elected au almos unanimous Democratic Legislature California made a clean sweep, excep in San Francisco. The Middle State are naturally conservative, and the will follow Kentucky and Californi in giving unprecedented majoritie against radicalism. GOLD.- Gold bas recently gone u to 148,i?. Tue explanation of the ris is the fall of five-twenties ubroac These live-twenties have decline abroad, not in consequence of th threatening aspect of political afi'aii in this country, as we of the" l?out are rather prone to believe, but sin ply because the European market : temporarily glutted with these secur ties.

FIFTY YEAHS IN AN IRON CAGE.-There ia now living at Buckland, Mass., a maniac named .losiah Spaulding, who has been confined in au iron cage for over fifty years, and for more than thirty years has not stood erect, till be has become so deformed that it is impossible tostraighten his limbs hy manual force. He refuses to be clothed, and will not suffer anything to remain on \ him, and is only kept warm in winter by I warming the room in which his cage is j placed. His human nature seems to have ! '-itally deserted him; he is only a being of i senseless existence. His father, Rev. Jo I siah Spaulding, was the first minister that ? settled at Rockland, and this, his only son, ; was the only survivor of a premature tri I plot birth. During his boyhood and youth, ! he was indulged to the fullest extent, and i though an extremely dull and backward ; scholar, finally applied for admission to William College, after the continued efforts : and persuasions of his parent.) and teach I ors. He was uusuccesstul in this applica I tion, and commenced a District school, I which the symptoms of insanity compelled ? him to give nj). His madness manifested I itself in attempting to murder his father and mother, and he was chained, for the j safety of his family. After mouths of rub ? bing the links of bis fetters uganist each I other, be succeedrd in freeing himself, when his first act was to attempt to mur? der his sister. Since then, he has inhabited the cage in which be is now kept, and bis ; insanity has been growing more and more hopeless, until it is now utterly incurable. To THE DEBILITATED AND THE DECUEPID. For general debility and exhaustion of the powers of nature, whether occasioned by sickness, fast living, constitutional decayk old ago, or any other physical or mental cause, the ono thing needful and indispen? sable is HOSTETTER'S CELEBRATED STOMACH BITTERS. When the tire of life seems to bu absolutely dying out in the system, and the mind, sympathizing with the body, is re? duced almost to a state nf imbecility, this mighty restorative seems, as it were, to lift the sufferer out of tho slough of de? spond, and recruit and reinvigorate both the frame and the intellect. An old farmer in the Valley of the Monongahela writes thus to Dr. Hostetter; "1 can compare the operation of your Bitters upon mo to no? thing but the effect of a rain after a long dry spell in the fall of the year. Tho rain falling on the meadows starts tho second crop of grass, and your wholesome medi? cine seems to have started a second crop of life and spirits in nie." And thia is truly the effect of this grateful and power? ful preparation. Ladies of weak constitu ! tion, or whose strength has been impaired bv sickness or age, tind it a most efiiea i clous and delightful tonic, and it is admi j lustered with great success i larasmus or ' wasting of the flesh, to youug children. In fact, it is a much safer and surer cordial I for tho nursery than anything advertised ? specially for that purpose. Oct 5 +6
