. Ex-President Davis.
We publish the charge of indictment against
Xx-President Davis by the Grand Jury of the
United States Circuit Court, at Norfolk, and
setting his esse for trial at Richmond, in June
next, upon en iadiotment for treason. Chief
Justice Chase, it is said, will preside, and Attorney
General Speed will conduct the prosecution.
The defence will be entrusted to Mr.
Charles O'Conor. It is said to be the settled
purpose of many about Washington, in high
positions, to havo Mr. Davis executed, if it be
a thing among the possibilities. They have
had amnle time to eoncnat ih*lr k.urf
for tbi aeoomplishment of this end. It is now
one jeer elnoe he wee incarcerated. They
here jut now submitted the indictment to s
Jury, who say there is treason In Mr. Deris'
conduct, and return a "true bill" as we were
to ex pool; their antecedents and proclivities
warranted all who knew them in expecting
sueh n return. Their prejudices against the
Confoderaey and Mr. Davis were no doubt well
known. This Jury was composed of men from
Alexandria, Fairfax, Richmond, and Norfolk. I
Nearly all of them are said to have been Union
men. Those from Norfolk are said by the payers
of that city, to have been the "moot unreliable
and degraded men to be found in any
oomaunity, and were deserters from the Confederate
ranks, one of them having his infamy
mitigated by Butler fixing perjury upon him."
Those from Alexandria are said by the papers
there, "to be snch ss no sane man would ever
hate euppoeed for an instant would be selected
ea Jurymen." Thoee from Richmond are said
to have been held, daring the war, by Confed
erate authorities as prisoners of State, at Richmond,
under suspicion ef correspondence with
the enemy. If we oeold hear the oharaoter
ef thoee from Fairfax no doubt thoy would
prove te be similar to those already heard from.
Is it not a singular coincidence that such a
batch of deeortere, spies and Union men ahould
be selected as Jewess in this ease, as these are
reputed te be by their neighbors ? But strange
things do oeeur, and perhaps this is inexpUoabla.

When wo think of the iojustioo that would
ho praotloed npon Mr. Davis in holding him
responsible for recent events,, and making him

him, if treason attaches?we have a feeling of
sorrow and indignation. Noartful and inflammatory
harangeof Mark Antony?no exposing
of the blooding body in the fbrum? no bloody

of the Southern heart. If it was for his

that oar sympathies should be bestowed npon I
him. Perhaps wo are wrong! Ho is not tho

8ib : I will rtpiy to your oowoniwUoa la
loot week's sefkr as I lapoMMwdo'
fheta. The otyeot of the meeting of physicians,
hold Juurj IS, 1806, tm the organisation of
t Modlool Booiet j tor Um aoko at tho professional
umltHoi?oaUutl improvement, mod
representation la Um 8tots society.
The "Fee Bin** claimed oar early attention,
for oar rerj living dopondsd upon oar professional
services, nod the charges sstsbUshed
iony years aiaos?seemed inadequate to oar
support, under the altered phase of affaire. One
I item of this change you refer to under the head
of high prices of provisions. And in further
illustration of the reasonableness of the "Fee
Bin," let ae eall your attention to the high
prloe of medicines. In I860, alcohol eould be
bought in Sport aburg for f 1. per gallon, now
it costs $8. per gallon. Opium, before the war,
$8. per pound. nowSll. i chloroform, former.
Ij 70 eta. jier pound, now 93.60; rhubarb,
formerly 91.75 per pound, now 98.; common
rials, formerly 2 eta. eaeh, now 0 eta.; and so
on with nearly every medicine used.
The physicians who were present at the first
meeting, and framed, approved and adopted
the Fee Bill, are as follows : L. C. Kennedy,
M. I>., J. J. Boyd, M. D., A. W. Divings, M.
D-, Bob . ?. Cleveland, M. D., B. Wofford, M.
D., Jos. L. Wofford, M. 0.. and Win. T. Bussell,
M. D.
At a subsequent meeting the names of several
others IVom the country were added to the
roll. All, or nearly all with whom 1 have
conversed, approve of the purposes of the socle
ty and the need for the Fee Bill, but for a variety
of reasons (the great reason, 1 suspect,
in some eases, has no other basis than loca'
jealousies and neighborhood rivalries) the mass
of the district practitioners have not aided the
enterprise. You peroeive it remains with them
to say whether this effort to establish a District
Medical Society shall "sink or swim."
"Men will trade where goods are cheapest."
This may do as a commercial maxim. But do
you employ a teacher for your child because he
is cheap ! Do men employ lawyers on the
score of cheapness rather than for their legal
attainments? Do men, anywhere, class in
tellectual capacity, skill snd knowledge with
"goods," gridirons, calicoes and whiskey? I
suspect, Mr. "Sparta," that when yonr little
one feels a twing of pain under her bib, you
do not inquire for the "cheap doctor," but
for him who is most expert in Galon's art ? And
I suspect that you and others weigh the worth
of the physician's ability by your appreciation
of health, or your desire to be restored to
health, if sick, rather than by any money consideration.
"Cheap doctoring" smaeks of arrant
quackery. Medical skill and knowledge
is not a thing of inheritance or intuition. The
able and efficient physician is snoh by virtue of
olose study and observation, based on scientific
knowledge of healthy and diseased action.

Considerable interest is exhibited just now
in a projeoton hand for adorning our city. The
conflagration of 1861 swept over one of oui
first squares, adjaoent to that on whioh the
Mills House stands. This it is proposed to
purchase by subscription, and arrange aftei
the manitor of the Palais Royal. A building tc
encircle the square, with a corridon on the
seoond floor, and on the first floor saloons,

the scheme.
Nor does the work of improvement stop hsre.
Ths genius of enterprise advances. We arc
promised a oity railway, a full and fresh supply
of pure water from the Edisto, paved
streets, and the completion of the Artesian
Wall. AU hail! to these prospective blessings.
Like all things temporal, the Ladies Fair has
oomi to an end. Benevolence was its motive,
and the result has been highly gratifying to its
originators. Not to apeak boastfully, our coin

Mb Davis up ius Tbisl.?Fosnus Mos*ns,
May 12.?Jeff. Davis received the notice
of i he indictment for treason presented ugalnst
him by the Grsnd Jury of the United States
i Circuit Court, recently in sessioo in Norfolk,
with something more than stoical indifference.
On the contrary, lie expresses himself, as I am
told, greatly pleased at the result, and hoped
that Lis case would now be soon decided. lie
shows himself in his conversation on the subject
to have keen perfectly siaoerein his avowals
all along of an earnest desire to be placed
on trial. White 1 do not believe that be for a
m< meat entertains any apprehension as ta the
result of the trial. 1 ant satisfied that he both
expects and desires that the examination shall
be of the most thorough and searching character.
His chief point of defence, as he fa as frequently
stated, will be baaed on the subject of
Slate rights and the prerogative granted every
citiscn of n State to sustain the official aetion
of such State. 1 think, moreover, he feels
confident of reoeiving a fair and impartial trial,
and is willing to abide the issue. To his coun
set. I em told, he has already written on the
subject of his expected trial. Gome what will,
Jeff Davis will show himself no cowardly prisoner
at the bur of justice. The attacks in the
Southern press (whose editors hope tbos to
bolster up bis case> against Judge Underwood
and the other members of the Grand Jory, be
does not, I am satisfied, sympathize with in
the least; and all their motterings shout pack
ed juries and oorrupt judges have no sffaet
upon him.? Cor. y T. Herald.
The New York Times says : In the Senate
to-day Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, offered a substitute
for his former proposition of universal
amnesty for universal suffrage. The amended
Bill provides tor impartial suffrage, to which
the Btates lately in rebellion are required te
rive their assent as a condition to their ret era
to the Union. It exclude* from office the
President and Vice-President of the Ute socalled
Confederacy, members of the Thirtysixth
Congress and heads of Departments who
went into the rebellion, and also those who
were orucl to Union prisoners. On complying
with these terms the States mentioned are to
be admitted and universal amnesty declared.

have been made, we learn, with the Central
Railroad, to have the entire cargo transported
to its destination without a change in cars,
thereby preventing the necessity of removing
the maohinery, ?o , from one car to another,
which will be a great saving in expense, as
well as in damage to the meterial. The new
factory when in operation, in connection with
the one owned by the company now, will be
the finest and one of the largest mills in ths

Louisvilli, May 17, 186$.
An elaborate opinion of Judge Bollard, of
the United States District Court, has been published
relative to Isbam Henderson, oonoluding
that, the exeeutive and legislative department*
of the Government having declared thai the
rebellion is ended, the court cannot aeeuaae
that it continues; that this opinion furnishes
no solution of the polilloai status of inhabitants
of States lately in rebellion, and that it is a
Siestion which must be answered elsewhere;
at this Court was bound to order lbs arrest
of Gen. Davis for apparent contempt offered
the Court, and he, having resisted the order of
arrest, is oruninalty responsible, and his oase
will be tried before the grand jury.
