THE TRIAL. In tho conspiracy trial in Washington yesterday nome Aisoussion took place between members of the conrt and the Counsel for the defence regarding a mysterious letter alleged to have been writien w Booth by two mon named French and McAleer, but which never reached its destioation.

Now that the war is over public attention naturally turns to politics. The old politicians are all afloat. Their partisan organs, day after day, struggle energetically to say nothing. Some of them were foolish enough to believe that this civil nies oh blow over, like a little squall, without dif ing anybody or changing anything. Now these politicians see their error. The war has been a deluge which has swept away all the old issues and all the old parties. The time bas come for something new and something better. Political power is to be entrusied to other and abler hands. ‘The men | who have saved the nation will preside over its } destinies. The democratic and the republican parties | brought on our civil war. They both be- trayed the country. Neither of them had any principle. They fought ander the common banner of place and pelf, The choice beiween | these two parties was a choice of two evils. During the war the people choge what they con- sidered the lesser evil; but now that the war is over they are tired of that sort of business The difference between the republican and democratic politicians is the difference be- tween Morgun’s two and a balf per cent, under Secretary Welles, and Henderson’s ten per | cent, under Judge Nelson. ‘That kind of poli- ties is not to be endured any longer. The time hos arrived for the formation of 4 new, national party, and we urge those interested to | bewin the good work at once. The reconstruction question, which the old save themselves from perdition, as a drowning | man catches at a straw, is solving itself, Allof the seceded Slates are veturning to the Unien quite as rapidly as is convenient, The con- stitution settles the negro suffrage question, and President Jobnson will stand dit by the con- atiiation, “The labor question, which is ulxo included tm reconsiruction, admits of a very sknple solution. ‘Those Southerners, white or black, who will not work must starve. This is the invariable rule thronghont the United \ Staies, and we see no pecson to make @ spe- exception in favor of either the recent rebels or the recent slaves, We will have no appendix to the abolition agitation. The negro ought to be let alone severely for a year or two, and he will then manage to take care of himself, We pursue this policy with our white population. Why should we adopt a different policy towards the blacks! Until the friends and followers of Chief Jus tice Chase find some means to answer the com- mon sense views upon the reconstruction ques- tion freely expressed by the masses of tho peo- ple, and briefly stated in the preceding para- graph, we anticipate no trouble from the party which he is endeavoring to organize. His scheme must fall through, because it haa no battom.

The field is, therefore, completely cleay for ® new, national organize- tion, “We have already ansounced the axiom that those who saved the nation ought to govern it. Who saved the nation from the dangers into which our politicians*had entrapped itt Did the republican politictine save it? Did tho democratic politicians save it? Did those save it who howled for the negro? Did thése save it who burrahed for the rebels? Where is the repnblican or democratic, the abolition or cop- perbead politician, who claims that he and bis associates saved the Union? No; the soldiers and the sailors were its eaviors, The mon who left their homes and their stores, their flelds and their workshps, aod went forth to fight for tho repablio are the mon who ought to admin- | maroh up our sirests and stack ero. of idler public affairs, Their blood, thei? battles and their victories were all in vain if we are to drop back into the old order of things und drift into another war under the old political leaders, upon some other question es intrinsi- cally frivolous as that of State rights. One mil- Jion and a half of veteran soldiers and sailors form the capital of the new party which is to ‘govern the country. These mon are now at home or coming home, and they should be or- ganized without delay. In overy village, town, township, city, county and State ‘throughout the land, we call upon our citizen soldiers and gallors to meet and effect an immediate organization. From this call none who have served the country, in the field or on the water, during the recent war are excepted. Three, aix and nine months men, one, two and three years men, volunteers and conscripts, regulars ‘and irregulate, militia and marines, landsmen and old salts—all will be welcome. Let thom elect their own officers, and, if they choose, their old officers, to lead them. Then, when a general election comes round, let them select and support their own’ candidates. All the good and true men of join with them and assist them, and all the pro- fessional politicians must be ordered to stand aside; The movement ought to’originate in this clty, where the. largest number of citizen soldiers are gathered. At‘ the next election they can put down and: completely: annihilate. the copperhead faction in Tammany Hall, the copperheads in Mozart Hall, the Gunther cop- perheads in the City Hall, the Canada fund copperheads on Seymour’s political staff, the jobbers of the Citizens’ Association, the repu- diating radical republicans and the conserva- tive republican office brokers and contractors. In doing this the citizen soldiers and sailors will be obliterating the last vestiges of the re- bellion which they have so nobly subdued, and they will also inaugurate a great political revo- lution. Gay anp TEx Gano or Taw Triponr.—Mr. | Gay, of the Tribune, in a letter published by ‘us yesterday, attempts to explain away the connection between the Tribune, by its cor- respondent Conaver, and the rebel agents in Canada. That there was some association be- tween, the Tribune and those Canada agents seemed possible from the course taken on cer- tain important questions by the Tridwie; and the recent disclosures in the trial at Washing- ton have shown to the public the agent in this association. We indicated what further facts it would be satisfaciory to the public to have; and Mr. Gay seems to consider that he has given an answer. His answer ia ingenious, but insufficient. It is a little piece of special pleading, that goes aside, and does not meet the case at all. How deep has Gay and his gang of the Tribune been in this collusion with Sanders, Clay, Cleary, Holcombe and Jake Thompson? They have been so mixed ip with those f-Hows, | im: one way or another, that. they cannot escape the consequences of their folly, They must answer, or ought to be made to answer on the | witness stand in Washington. It seems thit | the history of the explosion at City Point is considered a material point in the testimony taken at Washington. Would not the history of the peace aegotiations af Niagara be quite as material? What is the © secret history of that affair, in which ~ the men of the Trine gung were the active agenia on one side aud the Canada rebels on the other, and where Horace Greeley was the dupe of both. Greeley was duped into their measures by the gang and by Sanders and Jewett, because he could get the consent of the President to treat; and so, under the cover of law, these plotters could carry on their nefarious schemes in safety. Greeley got the necessary consent, and waa indulged in what were supposed to be his peace ven- tures; bat President Lincoln, who saw the trickery behind all, put bis foot down at the proper time and smashed the game. All the way through the Tribune yang has | made a dupe of Greeley, and it is this that, however patriotic Mr. Greeley may personally be, the Tribune has been weak in the knees as well as weak in the back from the hegin- ning of the war. First it wanted to let the seceding States go. Then, over and over it urged that we should give up the fight and arrange some shamefal compromise; and at last Greeley was induced to plead that Prasi- dent Lincoln should beg peace of Davis, when we had four hundred thousand men un- der arms. Now, how far in the following out | of their alliance with the Canada rebels did the Tribune gang go in this very matter in relation to which the Trilune correspondent has testified? That is what we want to know. Cowne Home vxom THe Wars—Tue OnverLy Conpuer or THE Sonpners.--Overa hundred and | twenty thousand soldiers have teen disbanded within three weeks, and eighty thousand have, since the Ist of June, passed over the railroads from Washington. But a short time ago the thought of this disbandment and of the return of these soldiers to their Northern homes filled mary persons with alarm. It was ferred “that these men, used to the rough life of camp, habituated to the use of deadly weapons and to scenes of blood, would he a wild and reckless clement in our | vied (hraugh all the rebellion. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14. 1865 duige in a thousand antics of delight. They scatter out in all directions amd bay. They are honest, hardy fellows, ragged enough and happy “as troutlets in 6 pool.” They are bronzed with the suns of fifty Austerlitzes, ‘They have more vim and humor than you can find in all the theatres the winter through; but with ail they are the most orderly of men. Here and there one under the influence of rum. may be a little noisy and pugnacious, but even, this is not 40 common as one might naturally expect it; and -its rarity calle attention only the more strongly to the vast number of the returned soldiers that do not outrage public propriety even in that way. The vast majority of these returned soldiers are intent only on going home, seeing their families and friends, and finding once more the places in society that they left to serve their country. Soupmes anp Savors vor Pustio Ovvices.— The system which has been for some timo pur- sued at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and is now forming the subject of public comment, is one so much at variance with the spirit of the times in which we live and the new order of things arising out of the war end the return of peace, that the government should take official cognizance of it without delay.. We allude to the refusal to employ men who have -seen service in the army and navy upon the public works, for the purpose of keeping poli- tical drones in office. This is not the first time that complaints have been made since the war commenced of similar conduct on the part of Mr. Delano and other officials of the Navy Yard. That establishment has notoriously been furnishing the fishpots and fleshpots for. the political hacks of the dominant faction for years. But we are living in different times now. There is a new class of men who have claims upon the government for the means of honest livelihood, not only in the navy yards, but in every institution under govern- ment patronage, where no qualifications as to party opinions or services should be the (est of fitness for employment; but siroply their re- cord as veterans in the war, whether on land or sea, There is, perhaps, no class in the com- munity more suited to fill most of our public offices than is to be found among these very men, trained as they are to discipline, enured to hardship, quick witted, intelligent and loyal. The corrapt political place holders. who are a sore upon the body politic, should therefore be compelled to give up their hold upon the fat of the land and make way for ihe veterans. : To accomplish this is another motive for the organization of a new political pnrty by the soldiers and sailors of the war—a healthy, fresh, vigorous party, which comprehends the wanis of the country at the present time, and would leave out in the cold the tricky politi- cians and leafers who have been so long demoralizing public sentiment and feathering their ow: nests. Let them begone, and clear the way tor our gallant veterans. Recoxsrrocrion tx Norru Carorina—The new editor of the Raleigh Progress says that he bas had a short interview with the late editor, Gov- ernor Holden, recently appointed by President Jobnson, and that the Governor declares that it is not his policy “to allow those persons who have been notoriously disloyal and promivent in their hostility to the national authority to have anythiug to do with the reorganization of the State government; that the enrolment of voters under the limits of President Johnson's amnesty proclamation “ will be conducted by mon of unquestioned loyalty in every county,” especially selected for the purpose. ‘This is according to the Tennessee plan of Andrew Johnson as President Lincoln’s military gov- ermor. The leading, and manuging rebels of the South will not be permitted to follow the instructions of George Sanders tor some time yet to come.
