The Daily Dispatch: December 25, 1865., [Electronic resource], Outrageous attempt to Murder. (search)
urder. --On last Friday night, whilst Mr. Charles Brice, who resides about three miles from the city on the line of the Fredericksburg railroad, was making a customary visit among his our buildings, he was struck in the forehead by parties who had concealed themselves behind a pig-pen, and knocked senseless. The cowardly ruffians then fired two loads of buckshot from a double-barreled shot-gun into his right side, making, from their close proximity, a frightful wound. The scoundrels fled in the direction of Camp Lee upon the approach of members of the family, who were attracted by the firing. Dr. Sinton was immediately called in, and extracted a few of the shot. Mr. Brice was a relative, and resided with the family of Mr. Thomas Johnson, formerly a well-known bookseller of this city. He is upwards of seventy years old, and a most estimable citizen. We are glad to learn that his wounds, though painful, are not considered dangerous. The shock to his system is very great.

will, at the very first election, take possession of the White House and the halls of Congress. I need not depict the scene that would follow." The words italicised at the end of the first paragraph contain the whole pith of the speech. "To secure a perpetual ascendancy to the Republican party" is the object of all these violent revolutionary movements. Party goes with Thad. a long way before the Union. He does not hesitate to break down the Union in order to insure the success of his party. What a wonderful statesman! What a pure public man! President Johnson thinks differently; his doctrine is, perish party, save the Union; and of course he is consigned by Thad. to the "execration of history." The scene which Thad. declines to draw of the condition of affairs likely to exist should the Democrats come in, is well calculated to horrify the radicals. If these radicals love the spoils as well as Horace Greeley says they do, it will be a sad day for them, no doubt.

doctrine of Thad. Stevens be true, deserve reward, not punishment, for the valor and constancy with which they defended their native land. Admitting that the South is conquered territory, did any modern nation ever confiscate the lands of another nation after having conquered it? Did even Katherine, of Russia, do it? England, we know, served Scotland in that way, and even executed Wallace for treason. But it was after Edward had made Baliol swear fealty to him by a gross fraud and deception. Napoleon, we believe, did the same thing in Spain. But it was after he had induced old Charles to surrender the crown into his hands. Both these monarchs confiscated, under pretence of treason. Confiscation is, indeed, the peculiar punishment of treason; and if the South has committed no treason — as it has not, upon the Stevens theory — how can it be punished for it? Only upon the theory of President Johnson--that the Union was never dissolved — can a case of treason be made
