We publish to-day the report of a very ex- citing debate in the French Chambers on the Mexican question, which is significant and in- teresting. 1t is very seldom that we can judge from the declarations of governments, or the debaies of politicians, what their intentions are and what issucs are approaching to importsat questions. This is particularly true with regard to great wars, rebellions and revolutions. We might instance the Crimean war. Here was 3 case where England was threatening to humble the power of Russia at almost any cost. Her statesmen were bold in language, and her armies self-sacrificing in the field. Nothing but the submission of the Czar would suffice to secure peace. Yet Napoleon adroitly availed himself of the death of Nicholas to make peace on a sudden when the world least expected it. tee the same in the Italian war. Every one believed that Austria had lost possession of Venetia after the magnificent battles of Solfe- rino and Magenta; but at that very crisis the peace of Villafranca came suddenly upon the world, and the whole affair was settled. Our rebellion is another instance of the unexpected collapse of great wars, The rebels were never so defiant as they were the very day before surrendered, and when he did succumb the rebellion caved in at once. And so it is with The commission of Mr. Henry H.

At this rate there will bea curiqus state of harmony in “the happy family” of the republican camp before the year 1868. Tho Southern rebellion is ended, but we aro etill in the midst of political revolution. aud the Coppe“aomds. people of the North are agreed it ie that the copperheads ought to be puniasied. Men difer as to whetbor or not Jef. Davia should be hong or banished. hey differ as to wustber or not @ general pardon should be granted to those who were recently rebels. But among all honest men there is but one opinion as do the proper fixte of the Northern copporheads, pnd especially ot such a copperhead as the noto- rious Ben Wood. ‘Too cowardly to go South and fight for tho rebel canse, and too traitorous to sincerely desire the reunion of the States, they have remained among us, fed by our bounty, protected by our arms, and defended feom personal violence by our lawa, while they hove beon carrying on their newspspers upon rebel funds, supplying Jeff, Davis with such information as can be picked up by spies, and abnsing and insulting the government under which they lived and the people who permitted thelr existence. President Johnson has frequently asserted that treason is a crime which must be punished, We have laws against treason which must be executed, and the President will not perform his whole duty if he does not carry them out, Jeff. Davis has already been. indicted as a traitor for levying war against the country to which he had 60 often, in various official capa- cities, sworn allegiance. The time has now come to indict Ben Wood as a traitor for giving aid and comfort to the enemies ‘of the United States. Upon his soul resis the stain of per- jury; for he also swore allegiance to the gov- ernment when he took his seat as a Member of Congress. In every issue of the News, of which ho was the acknowledged editor, suffi- cient matter for the indictment can be found, to say nothing of the twenty-five thousand dollar check presented as evidence against him before tho Military Commission now trying the assassination conspirators at Washington. To this evidence we expect soon to add the testi- mony of the reporter of the secret sessions of the rebel Congress, Under these circumstances we call upon Attorney General Speed, Judge Advocate General Holt and United States District Attor- ney Dickinson to indict Ben Wood and try him atonce. There is no necessity of an arbitrary arrest or a military tribunal, unless the govern- ment should prefer that mode of trial. If a copperhead like Ben Wood is to escape un- whipt of justice we might as well strike ell laws from the statute book and open all the jails. His offence is rank. It has long tested the patience of the people. The blood of count- less numbers of our brave soldiers is red upon his hands. He stands detested by the North, which he has betrayed, and by the South, which he has aided to seduce into a continuance of the war. His office has been the appropriate resting place of traitors. To it John Mitchel ran when Richmond fell, as the serpont slinks from one hole to another. He is a Benedict Arnold without his bravery, and a Judos Iscariot who has not the grace to hang himself. He and Jeff, Davis should be executed sido by side—the one as the representative of the cop- perheads of the North, and the other as the representative of the traitors of the South. Not to inflict this punishment is jto encourage trea- sop. ‘To inflict it will be to please all Union men in both sections of the country. Let the Attorney General, the Indge Advocate Genoral ard the United States District Attorney act at once, Reconstruction, Negro Suffrage and the Jacobins. The radical schomers have been for some time past maturing their plans of opposition to the reconstruction policy of the President. They have, however, met with a serious draw- back in their programme ‘in finding an audi- ence to endorse their extreme ideas. The Chase wen calied a meeting at the Cooper In- stitute, in this cily, with the sole view of se- curing sach an expression of approval of their views that it would force President Johnson to adopt them. But in this they sizna!ly failed. The people unceremoniously repudiated them and their theories. Thev were, therefore, foreed to depend upon the threats of some radical journal, or utterance of a Jacobin orator, de- livered in some obscure place, or else, like groes among the canebrakes of the South. They were finally unable to hold in any longer, ® blow out they must have, and Boston was selected as the place. The result shows that Boston is the only place where they can obtain an audience that will endorse their revolu- tionary programme; and yet we bave nothing in the published proceedings to show whether that gathering was large, or composed of mere handful of stroag-minded women and crazy fanatics, which are always to be found there. It will be seen by the extracts from the pro- ceedings of the Republican State Convention, held ai Columbus, Ohio, few days ago, which we publish elsewhere, tat a member of this convention endeavored to securo the adoption re nein ena Pe ee el led k, however, that a pro- | of the negro suffrage and the radical pro- gramme by that body, but could not even get his resolutions in edgewise. The Convention would not listen to hima, but shut bim off, by the previous question, and then endorsed Presi- dent Johnson and his policy, and glorified those never so much as alluding to Mr. Chase. This is rather rough treatment for Mr. Chase in his own State, and shows conclusively that, unless his friends organize the party which -he requested them to do, ho has no pavty to support him in his own State and will haye to emigrate to Boston. But it ap- pear that the would-be modern Athens is the paradise of the Jacobins. There they can rant and scold, make faces, utter threats and denunciations, inciie insurrection, inaugu- rate revolution, stir up mutiny against our mili- tary authorities, Jay the foundation for « war of races, and find a congregation that will ap- plaad, it matters not how treasonable may be tho utterances of the speakers. This Fanouil Hall gathering was something more than a more political assemblage; it was a revolu- tionary and insurrectionary meeting, as much as was the secossion meeting in Charleston before the war, or the copperhead convocation in this city soon after the war commonoed. Like these, ita objects wore the defont of the administration and the overthrow of its polley, as they term it, while we are in a state of war. ‘That it was treasonable in its charaeter the language of the spoakers fully attests, One of tho orators, after arguing in favor of universal negro suffrage, declared, “If we do not secure that now, it can never ho except by @ now Soesnes reese’ na Ren Woot—rhe felgls | revolution’ —thus threatening another rovoln- tion unless thy negroes of the South wore given the right of the elective franchise. But, to make bia point sfif] stronger, he asks, “Do you want ‘o see them (negroes) submit forever, aud not rise for their rights?” and then, by way. of a clincher, adds, “If nover get their rights, or get them by a new revolution, it wil! be in elther event our fauit” Could impudence go farther? Can rank disunionists or even. Sonthern traftors say more? . ‘Those sentences, which are only a few among the many, are sufficient to stamp the whole affair with treason of the rankest kind. Under all this revolutionary talk sat Senator Pomeroy, the right hand man of Chase, and when called upon, publicly en- dorsed every word and gave it his heurty approval. Now, wo have learned miny sad lessons during our civil war. If there is any- thing which the events of the last four years have demonstrated and proved, it is tho dotri- ment to tho public service in allowing the Northern secessionisis to hold their meetings in our midst. Events have forcibly showo that they aided and strengthened the rebellion, pro- longed the war, and, in fact, prepared by thoir teaching and practice one of their own eless for the assassination of our President The | Northern copperhead seccessionists alded the rebellion, and did it more service than if they had shouldered the musket and entered the rebel armies, Theso radical Jacobins, now that the rebellion is crushed, are only imitating the plan of the copperheads and eim not only to prolong the contest, but to inaugurate a social war. Between the two factions they will bring the country to bankruptcy and ruin if allowed to pursue their course unmolested. Wo have seen the evils of permitting tho copper- heads to carry out their schemes, and the Prosi- dent owes it to the country to arrest and incar- cerate these Faneuil Hall Jacobins—ora‘or Beecher, Dana and Pomeroy included. No matier if the laiter is a United’ States Senator; 80 was Davis, Benjamin, and numerous other leaders, when they commenced spouting treason. Had they beea arrested when they defied the government in the Sznate the rebellion m'ght have boon nipped in the bud; so with this new revolution and social war which tho Jacobina are trying to inaugu- rate. A few months’ imprizonment of the leaders in one of our forts, with a hard tack diet, will break up this insurrection, and save the country a vast of amount of trouble end treasure, — Assessmp Vatuarions vor 1865.--The Com missioners of Taxes for this city, Messrs.

It will be remeinbered that the decision o: the Supreme Court, in the case of the Bank of the Commonwealth, has liberated ‘rom texetion in this cily seventy-six millions of doilars of cor- porate capital, which, at the probable rate of taxation, deprives the ‘Treasury of about two millions three hundred thousand dollars, ‘This is a subject, however, to which we may refer at another time, For the present it is enovgh to know that wo have to raise nearly nineteen millions in taxes on the property of the city tor the current year.
