Wing to the power of the Radicals in the
present Congress, we think it very doubt
ful whether any of the Southern States
with tha probable exception of Teunessee
and Arkansas will be represented in that
branch of the government before the meet
ing af tha next Congress.
Trvabla la that Radical Camp.
The Radicals, says the Richmond En
ewarvr, have been sorely troubled by the
defection of Secretary Stauton and his
adhesion .to the President. . When the
statement was pubfislied a few days ago,
of the result of the Cabinet consultation
an tha Report of the Reconstruction Com
mittee, and when they saw it affirmed that
Stanton had expressed his concurrence
with the President in his opposition to that
pestilent programme, while Uarlan was
reduced to non-commitalism and silence,
they were confounded and alarmed.
The first expedient was to deny the cor
rectness of the account. It had been
maaipakted by the President and Seward,
and made simply what they wished it.
Responsible and well-informed friends of
Mr. Stanton" had been heard .to. say that
& waa- impossible, that it war absurd !
Summit to turn upon the friends who had
held him in his seat when delicacy and
propriety- commanded him to withdraw, in
v . . l .
araer mat ne mi gat waxen ana embarrass
and betray the President 1 Incredible !
But time passed, and brought no contra
diction, no qualification, from Mr. Stanton !
His endorsement of the President, his de
nunciation of the programme of the Com
mittee of Fifteen, have had at least the
confirmation of his silence. Contrary to
all expectation, both of his former, friends
and his former foes, Stanton seemed in
deed to have swapped the one for the oth
err and taken his stand against Radical
extravagance, and on the side of common
sense, the Constitution and the President
If any lingering hope or doubt remained
a to tha accuracy of the statement of Mr.
Stanton's present position, it has now been
dispelled. In the National Republican of
yesterday we are quasi officially informed
that the account of the Cabinet consul tar
bom was from the highest source was in
t&ttqfficiaL
And not only does tiki, , Etpublkan,. by
Sat new outgiving, clinch the naff as" to
Stanton, but it takes Secretary Harlan out
f tha neutral, silent, non-comim'taj, posi
tion before allowed him, and again affirms
that iV after the council broke up, de
clactdyht retiring, his concurrence in the
views af the President, and the other mem
bers ef the Cabinet ! It thus appears
that inn trad of regaining Stanton, the Rad
icals lave lost Harlan, also! The Cabinet
t a Mt save Speed, and he ia at his home
ha Kentucky.
The effect of these defection!, and of the
frfitihn tf leading newspapers the
Korth has been to bring the Radicals to a
halt. As the Subject" told the mesmerist
whey after being obeyed in a multitude of
the? commands, ordered him to descend

lidity of a payment made in Confederate
money. The case was that of Duke & Cade

cific performance of contract It was tried
in the Six Ji Judicial district of MUiUilp
pi the Judge, Hon. It W.l'oote, not sit
ting in tha coso, hence the necessity of tha
special Judge.
The Mobile Register baa compiled the
following Lets, of which we avail ourself i
Dn the 27 th of January, 1861, the de
fendant sold to complainant s 20,000 pounds
of lint cotton for tha sum of S7000. which
was paid at he time in treasury notes of
the Confederate States. The defendant
(Perkins) agreed to take ordinary care of
the cottoir aud deliver it to complainants
when afterwards required. &c. The de
fendant failing; and refii-' to deliver the
Kuiurn; hen rei uinJ. Ul bill was Insti
tuted to. enforce a specific performance of
the contract Y'i
The defendant, by his counsel, submit'
ted the follow ing grounds of defence t
1st That the act of secession by the
State of Misxisaippi, and consideration with
other stales being a violation of the Uon
ssitution of the United States, no govern
ment was created by said Confederacy
which could perform any binding act, and
the issuing of treasury notes to bef used as
money was as nullity, and consequently
was not such a consideration as would
make a contract legal between individuals.
2d. That the Constitution of the United
States prohibited the States from, "emitting
bills of credit," and that the States could
not do colli ctively what" they Wire pro
hibited from duiug separately.. That said
treasury notes which formed the considera
tion of llie contract sued on, were "bills of
credit, and having been issued in viola
tion of the Constitution of the United
States, were illegal and void, and said con
tract, founded on said illegal consideration,
cannot be enforced either in law or equity.
3d. That said Treasury notes were is
sued to carry on a rebellion againstr-the
government of the United States, and the
same having been issued in violation of
the Constitution, law aud public policy
could raise no consideration upon which a
Irgal and binding contract could be erect
ed.
The lucid and learned decision of Judge
Clayton on the questions thus presented is
published in the Columbia Sentinel. We
have not sufficient space to copy if in full,
and can only briefly state its general pur
port. After a statement of the origin of
late war, the J udge proceeds to refute the
fallacy of the argument for the defence,
which undertook to prove that the Consti
tution and laws of the United States were
iu full operation over the Southern States
during the war. He shows that the citi
zen, owing partial allegiance, at least, to
both governments, could not commit the
crime of treason, when his action was con
trolled by State authority. So far as this
principle carried iu England, that the citi
zen is held exonerated from the crime of
treason onerated from the crime of treason
even for supporting a usurper against the
rightful. sovereign. He quotes Blackstone,
who says : .' .
. "It is held thai a King de facto &n& not
&wrrinotber words a usurper that hath
got posseesibu of the throne, is a King,
within the moaning of the -statute, as there
is a temporary allegiance due to- him, for
his administration of the government and
temporary protection of the, public ; and
therefore treasons committed against Hen
ry VI., were punished under Edward IV.,
though all the line of Lancaster bad been
ireviously declared usurpers by act of Parl
iament." And again, "When, therefore,
a usurper is in .possession, the ehbject ia
excused and justified b obeying and giving
him assistance; otherwise under usurpa
tion no man could be eafa, if the lawful
prince had a right to hang him for qbedi-
enee to the power in being, as the usurper
would certainly do for disobedience
Reasoning on the 1 ads of these well es
tablished principles, Judge Clayton saya :
"It is evident that, if this doctrine be
correct, and treason cannot be committed
by rendering assistance to a usurper who
has possession of the government against
the lawful prince, most certainly; the titfc
tea of a State, owing not only temporary,
but permanent allegiance to the State gov
ernment, cannot be amenable to the gener
al government for rendering obedience to
the authority of his State, notwithstanding
by so doing he wiH violate his federal alle
giance. A contrary' doctrine in conflict
between a State and general government,
would render the escape of a citizen from
the crime of treason ' impossible ; for the
otedieacejjgp
against the other.
la&w.acould not, ,then be considered, a
a mere rebellion, but that it was a genuiae
war between beligerent powers a 'civil
arf as ha tcrjaftjjajiAjh
engaged In it are not -pi rjonally sponsi
ble for rets committed in obedience to the
authority of their respective grovernmenta.
- This jtoaition'is sustained by a full ar
ray of authorities among them by the de
cisions of the United States courts during
the war. The next step in the argument
is thus stated:
"We cannoLhfild that the suspension cf
the Federal Constitution and laws left the
Conf-derntc States in perfect anarchy, with
no law contmLing contracte or rights of
nroocrtv. But we conceive, "that as the
States continued all their power and fatten
tion of government, which, liey possessed
bi fore the war. And created a 'de ado
government iJ belligerent power; the
two combined possessed anlhority to en
fore the law and iriTe ample protectioa
and validity to the property, rghta, &j
tii, wtie not v.- i ly i. - ", : i
malued lutact, ithin thu jui ',
Confederate States."
Judge Clayton then proceeds to mik.J
mr tha rowers of the Confederate Cuvern
meot during itt dt facto existeuce, and
shows very conclusively that, as a ror
measure, it possessed the power of Ueuing
treasury notes, and to this power was en
tirely Independent of any question of It
character de jurt. He shows, also, that
the Federal Government ha recognised
the validity of purchase made with these
notes, by seising cotton and other property
of the Confederates - 8tatee, jh tittle to
which was acquired by the Omfederate
Government through purchases made with

The Washington correspondent of

The Senate is somewhat alarmed It the

adoption of the amendment to tht bill
making it a condition precedent the
payment of any money to any civil officer
that his appointment shall be conhrmW by
the Senate. If this condition be insisted
upon, the President will veto the bil, for
he cannot, of course, sign a bill tliit de
prives him of all his constitutional pWcr.
The consequence will be that the Post
office Department .will be closed aid the
postal service suspended. This wold be
revolutionary. Congress could. ...by ..putv
suing the same course of usurpation, des
troy the Government
I he post-office appropriation b)ll was
once defeated by the obstinacy of a Sena
tor. Hut as congress was ready to pass
the bill as soon as it met again,
A " .1
de
partment was enabled to get along by is
suing certificates of indebtedness. But no
one would trust this Congress to do any
better at the next session than at this. (
The motion to reconsider the amend
ment was before the Senate to-day, and
Mr. Poland objected to it.' lie could not
stand before the people, he said, upon the
proposition to refuse payment to a public
officer. But Mr. Trumbull could, and the
people, he said) would support Congress in
thfc-refusal to nav money to aid in the de
feat of measures which Congress deems ne
cessary to maintain the Government and
perpetuate the Union. , Mr, Sherman took
a very practical and reasonable view of the
question. As to some officers', the Presi
dent as be urged, must of necessity have
absolute power of removal euch as the
cabinet ministers and diplomatic agents.
The President, for these and other officers,
must have around him his personal friends.
If the, Republican majority are' alarmed
at the removal of half-a-dozen officers in
Pennsylvania and Illinois, what will 1 be

and don't know from day to what their own
policy is. They agree in opposition to the
President's policy, no matter what that
maybe. If .his policy should be better
than theirs, if indeed they should ever
have any policy, he will have' a better
chance to be elected President without a
nomination than any one else with the
nomination of Congress. It is the Presi
dential question that Congress is looking
to, and not to the promotion of any policy
for the restoration of the Union.
An order is understood to have been re
ceived at the office of the' Attorney Gener

dockets of anolicants for cordon be cleared
entirely, which is almost equivalent to the

A few days ago, while looking over some
" old letters"-rfeaflets of memory hidden
away as mementoes of the beautiful past,
my eye fell on a package tied with crape
emblem of sadness aud oh I the memo
ries that came crowding fast to my heart !
The bright " hope-castles," the sweet day
dreams of childhood all seemed to shed a
halo of light around me, as I read the fa
miliar letters from a dear cousin who used
to play long ago at the same home among
the wild-wood, birds and flowers. Those
were brave, good. letters,
"In each line was some sweet toVen
Treamred for the thourhu it fare ;
In each one, some bright hope spoken.
Shining still in memory's wane."
The hand that penned them sleeps far
away now, in "a soldier's lone grave," none
of those he loved best shall drop the tear of
affection there, no kind hand may strew the
" moss-covered mound with flowers, those

the crown of eternal tye, for
" Ti dost to dust beneath the sod.
