"The ediTOr"tif the Omaha Herald
"understands" that certain things in
this paper are "from Col Livingston ;"'
among ethers our article in defense of
the soldiers against the virulent attacks
of Morton, Miller Sc Co. ; and in' the
same article he says "CoL Livingstons
respect for the soldiers is of a spasmodic
order." This is prettT talk from such
a man as Dr. Geo. L. Miller, about
one who has shown himself not only a
soldier but a true patriot; but our pur
poe is not to defend Col. Livingston
Bgainat any such charges from such a
source; for he, as well as tha balance
of the soldiers cf the Union army, ex
pect them ; and they and theirauthors
are generally treated with the contempt
deserve.; We only wish to say, so far
as regards Col. Livingston being the
author of the article cited, that Dr.
Miller has a vtry understanding one
that he u'duld do well not to trust with
anything of importance or it may "be
the, ruia 'of ' him.". Col.' Livingston
never saw or beard of the article re
ferred to until it was published; yet
we do cot suppose he would denounce
the sentiment therein expressed, even
if it does pinch the Dr. in a . tender
place. - For the future guidance of
men with such deceitful "understand-
ices" ai that of Dp Afi'llsr' nA n.,L4
o ' . a a m a WW VT-WUFU
Bay that when an article in this papei
is signed they are at liberty to suppose
the man whose name "is appended .is
the author ; but when matter appears
as editorial it is common with men of
ordinary ssme to suppose that the edi
tor of the paper in which it is publish
ed, shoulders the responsibility, if any
is attached. Col. Livingston did, at
our request, contribute some articles on
general subjects last winter, while we
were short. of help in , the mechanical
part of. .the business for which we feel
truly grateful to him, as we' had more,
work to attend to xhan we could' well
manage at that tine ; but we do not
fee that this should be a pretext for.
accusing him of saying everything that
Copperheads don't like, even if he ie
known to be loyal and to have served
:a the Union army.
"The brave democrats of the Ne
braska First who hnve been persecuted
in and out of the regiment,..for daring
to have indVjendenC political "-pinions,
are entitled to preat credit for ' their

upon the Union soldiery. It U lntei d-
ed as. aij. assenionthat . the. soldiers of
the Union army would not allow men to
have "independent political opinions,
when it is knowa to everybody who
knows anything about it that etery
soldier was his own dictator so far as
regards political opinins. . We do not
deny that our soldiery was inclined, to
deal promptly with rebels and rebel
sympathizers; and who could "b.ame
them for it ? Did not they feel, direct
ly, the evil effects of that sympathy in
the North ? It is noticeable that such
papers as the Omaha Herald only con
gratulates Democratic soldiers, and
those only for their Demon ate senti
meats,-not for the service they have
done the country in as listing to i put
down the rebellion. Why is this?" Is
it because the Herald sy mpathized with
the .rebellion, and wishes to see, the;
leaders of it placed in high political
positions. Be'ter say -nothing about
soldiers. Dr., unless you can something
better than to accuse .them of ."perse
cuting" men because they vere "Dem

his bill of fare for a iveek, which has
been widely published. There are

persistant aitempt y excite 'sympathy I
jiiiu eveu aumirauon ior jtnerson ua
vis as a political prisoner suffering for
an honest difference of opinion. it is as
well to understand clearly precisely
what his position is.-.
The odium that hangs around hi.
name, and whicli will forever deepen,
does not arise, from the fact that he
held abstractly the theory of State sov
ereignly and the constitutionally re
served right of recession; but that he
and his Tell jw-conspirators chose to
assert that doctrine at the cost of count
less innocent lives and the welfare of
vhe country, not to remedy injustice or
oppression for which there was no le
gal redress, but to. perpetuate the foul
est eastern of tyranny under the sun.
Had Davis and hi confederates ap
pealed to God and mankind for the
rectitude, of their intention as revealed
in the purpose of the war which they
invoked had they armed against the
National Government in the name of
vital State rights which that Govern
ment, kad denied had they risen
against an arbitrary power which was
grinding them and their families, and
trampling upon sacred, natural,' and
constitutional rights for which it refused
a remeey then. Indeed, the last terri
ble appeal to blood, which only hope
less oppression authorizes "wou'd have
been justified, and their cause, how
ever unfortunate, would have command
ed the admiration and sympathy of the
world.
It is idle to say that, holding seces
sion to be a constitutional right, they
might assert it at any time, and for
any purpose which pleased them..
When war is the cost of the practical
assertion of any right it can be justi
fied only by the fact of vital greivance
for which there is no redress,-. or by
the purpose for which it is intended to
exercise that right. That was the jus
tification of our great revolution of
1776. - But what is Jrfferson Davis as
the official reprsentative of the rebel
lion of 1S61 ?: He is a man who de
liberately plunged his country into the
most fearful war, and flooded it with
blood that he might whip wom?n and
chijldrnyat his pleasure. His pre
tend was State sovereintyfliU pur
pose homan slavery. That was the
object for which he ancfihe other lead'
era "fired the." Southern hearu" For
Lthis ihy 'directed the war. For this
they starvsd ht ave men at Anderson
into idocy, and shot thern like dogs.
For this wtre Southern en seized at
night, and before the .eyes of their
despairing wives and agonized chilJren
hung, and s-hot, and drowned. For
this they drove thousands and thousands
of conscripts .to die upon the field of
battle.' For tiiis Jefferson Davis' gar
ments reek : with innocent blood, and
his name is n stench. !,
Here is a pretty martyr, wiih his ham
and eggs and panned oysters! Here
is a Christian hero ; and (.ien'Tal Miles
must be removed if he does not bow
low enough! Here is a model Amer
lean, who nri-si be magnified into a
Speilberg victim' and suflV rer of, the
Bastile if his muffiiia are not toasted,
and his beef-steal; U overdone! Our
readers will bear us witness that we
have not -advocated vengeance, that we
thin!: the tri;l fcf Davis for treason a
mistake, and that we arc ready to lake,
with fair precautions, all the necessary
and inevitable - risks, of 'the sitaaiion.
But the mr.udltn '' teniimeutuliiy that
would drap). with the dignity of a
martyr for political opinion a, man who
for such a purpose waged tuch a war
we believe will disastrouy recoil upon
those who foster it. We have no wi?h
to revive dead. feuds, or to. use harsh
words, but can conceive no greater
misfortune to manhood of American
youth than that ihey should be taught
to regard Benedict Arnold as an hon
orable man, or Jefferson Davis as a
guiltless and unfortunate patriot.

The Romseati and Grinnell
Dirficuliy.
On the Ilih inst. the hall of the
House of Representatives wass-tbe"
scene of an exciting . personal debate
between Gen. Rousseau, of Kentucky,
and Mr. Grinnell, of Iowa. We. we re
in hopes that bar-room language and
attendant scei.es had been discarded
forever from our legislative halls, but
it seems not. On the 14th. Rousseau
int.de an assault on Grinnell, with a
rattan cane, in one of the lobbies of
the House, but without d -irrg him much
injury. The telegraph thus reports on
the n-ittir on the lJth: "
In the House, immediately after
reading the journal, Mr. Spaulding. of
Ohio, introduced a resolution for the
appointment of a select committee of
five members to investigate the affair
between Rousseau and Grunell, and
report such resolution in reference
thereto a in their judgment may be
necessary for the vindication of. the
piivileges of the Hou-e and. protection
of its members, were uuanimou&ly
adopted without debate.
. Rousseau and Grinnell were , both
in their seats to-day. It i ascertained
beyond a reasonable doubt thai, the as
sault was premeditated for two days ;
Rousseau is very rarily seen with . a
cane. The rattan used seems to have
been procured- for this occasion.
He is reported lo have taken counsel
with some of his friends yesterday P.
M., as to whether he thould .thrash
Grinnell in the House or . outside the
the Chamber Rousseau was consid
ered ai the close of Monday.' debate
to stand first best in the opinion of most
member of the House-, and could well
have afforded to let the matter drop.
His course in resorting to violence has.
however, changed the current of feel
ins and the sympathies of the public
are generally with Grinnell. Many
members think llo.isinau will be ex
pelled unless he makes full apology to
the Houe as well as D Mr. Grinnell.

and Thryer as a .special committee on

Democracy in Illinois.
The Chicago Times announces that
the Democratic Siate Central Com
mittee have decided not to hold a 'Dcin
ocratk" State C nven'ion, and not to
run a "Democratic" ticket in that State.
The "Democratic" party was run too
far into tho grourid at the last election
to emerge as a live, organization so
soon. But it is to reappear as a ghost,
which will be, in - the opinion of the
Committee, much more appropriate.
The Times says it is resolved to hold a
"State Convention, to be -cornpost-'d if
delegates who deprecate ihe disunion
scnemps of the Radical faction of the
Republican party, and wko desire to
support, in the must efficient manner,
the piitrioti'' policy of the President nn
the question of the speedy restoration
of the Union."
We oppose the new concern may
properly be called the Illinois "depre
catory party." At any rate, here is n
clear abandonment of the "Democratic
name and party organization, and an
sittempt to start a new organization,
with delegates, elected by anybody and
everybody who can be coaxed in, who
are to "deprecate the disunion schemes
of the Radical faction," etc. This is,
certainly, a confessim of ihe hopeless
weakness to which the "D-morracy"
of Illinois- has been reduced by the
chmnpionship and under the Chicago
Times, el id omne genus. This move
ment, though it lacks ih pluck and
hardihood of the Copperhead party of
Ohio and Michigan, is much more
jhrowd. Ii is an attempt to wipe off
the late the record of the sympathy
of treason and aid and comfort to the
rebellion which ruined the party, and
commence a new organization without
& damning history toembnrras it op
erations. But the game won't work.
Any party supported by the Times, and
led by Copperheads is bound to fail,
no matter by what name it may be
called. Detroit Press.

while he (Stevens) round much posi

could not but regret the omision of
inany better things, he iaid: In my.

leaving ii in many of its parts to be
swept throueh by tempests of frosts

possessing some, will of my own, I ac
cept so imperfect a proposition. I an

me, do not choose to yield their opin

hostility, let us, he said in conclusion
no longer delay, let us take what we
can g-t now, and hope for better things
in future, legi-latiou. in enabling acts,
or other provisions.
The final vote was taken without
excitement. Every Republican pres
ent, including Raymond, Hale, and
Green, Clay Smith voting aye, and only
Democrats no.
The Clerk of the House will now
forward certified copies and send them
to the Governor for ratification by the
legislatures.
It having been decided upon the sug
gestion of President Lincoln, in the
case of the amendment abolishing sla
very, that the Executive has nothing lo
do with such lesislaiion.
'Ihe Washington Republican, the
President's organ, asserts by authority
that the President considers that Jeff.
Davis trial is entirely a judicial one,
and does not intend to interfere direct
ly or indirec ly therein,, notwiths'.and
ing the strenuous efforts in his behalf
by counsel and friends. The inference
from this language is, that the effort to
ret Davis paroled will not at present
bi successful!.
