M. IHIOWN. THE REPUBLICAI TRIUMPH.. Ile pitc the many and great efforts of distinguished patriots, the Northern elec tions hare gone, overwhelmingly, against the administration, and the Republican party has before it many months of as sured power. At the next sitting we may expect much greater boldness, but, perhaps, less of a vindictive spirit. This is no triumph ef the Radical wing of the Republican party. To win it, the lead ing organs of the party Lad greatly to moderate their tone, and the party had to at least half way pledge itself to the a 1 mission of- Southern representatives, upon the adoption, by tbe Southern States, of tho Howard Constitutional Amendment. It is not probable that Steven:- aud Sumner will be the leaders of the next Cbngrcss. Resides, despite the fierceness of party conliict, time has greatly moderated the bitterness of feel ing b; ween the sections. Measures of revenge that popular sentiment at tho North might have sanctioned six months ago, it will now condemn. Old business relations have been revived, new ones, by the thousand, have been established, visits have been interchanged, and more of reason and a.milder temper prevails. Again the South U in a better coad tion than it was six months ago, to ova and render, comparatively harmless n wise and unjust legislation. Though by a m4 .-Mar; irictialy power, that claims still to have .loniMb 1 them completely in its power, the South* cm States once more exorcise authority over their eitixens and enforce their laws. The execution of those laws have already gone far towards restoring to the country peace aud erdcr and personal security. Our people having recovered from the prostration and despair that followed the issue of the war, act and think, onee more, with spirit and unanimity. Public opinion is again, in every community, alive and powerful, and to outrage it is no longer safe or profitable. Wg are no longer utterly without strength. As a consequence of tho Republican Iriumpb, tho question of the adoption of the Howard Constitutional Amendment will bo forced upon the Southern States. AVe shall be surprised if Tennessee gains a single companion to share her infamy. Policy has uo right to utter a word in .this mailer. It is a question of lion'or. Tho trinmjffiont North may debar from all pul lie offices and vainly attempt to disgnov tlirvc of our brethren highest in "character aye} intelligence, and illegally incorporate into tho Cons Ration a mise rable denial of eur just claim®, and we may be obliged, unresistingly, to submit, but wo cannot without lasting infamy by our own legislative action, help forward, approve and gaaotioa this great wrong. That This is asked of us, is not the least of the insults vilely heaped upmi a help less peeplc. Better be without ropresen- tion in Congress for years to come than so disgrace ourselves. Tho representa tion that the test oath would allow us is not so desirable, valuable or honorable, that we shoul. humble ourselves in the least to obtain it. IMMIORATlOV.

It now appears that there will bo no session of that Court at RichteWd during the present month and doubts are expressed whether the regular term by law should commence on the fourth Mon day of November next, will be held, in view of thm~ob. traction, and the conse quent delay in proceeding with the trial of Jefferson Davis, under t ha pro.-ceution for treason, now pending in that Court, and there bcinj^M far us the President is informed no good reason why tbe Civil Courts of the United States are now com petent to exercise adequate jurisdiction within the district or circuit in which the State of A'irgiu'a-i» enclosed; I deem it proper to request your opinion as to what further steps if any should be taken by the Executive with a view to a speedy public and impartial trial of the accused uceordiug tq-thc Constitution and laws of tho United States. 1 am, sir, very respectfully, yours, A k mi kw Johnson. To Hon. Henry Stanhury, Att’y Gcn’l. .Iu response to the above, the Attor ney General, uudei'date of the 12th mat., status: I am clearly of opinion that there is nothing in the present condition of Virginia to prevent the full exercise of jurisdiction of the eivil courts in the actual state “f things and your several -proclamations of peace and of the resto ration of eivil order guarantees to the civil authorities Federal aud 8.ate im munity against military control or inter ference. it seems to me that in this [articular time there is no necvShiiy for further action on the pait of me Execu tive iu the way of a proclamation, espe cially as Congress, at live late session re quired the circuit Court of the United States, to be held at Richmond, on the 1st Monday of .May, aud the 4th Monday of November, in each year, aud author- hod the apt-eiul or adjourned term# of that court to be ordered by tbe Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, -at such time and ou such notice us he might pre scribe, with the saino terms. This is an explicit*) recognition by Congress, that tho state of things in ViaMNia admits tbe holding of the I Jutted States courts in that Slate. He also states that Mr. Davis remain* iu custody at Fortress Monroe, jKOcisely as he was held iu Jan uary last, when in answer to a resolution of Congress, when you reported a coin- uiuiiieation trom the Secretary of War aud the Attorney General, showing that he was held to await his trial in the civil courts. No action was then taken by Congress in reference to tho place cf cus tody, uo demand lias since been made for his transfer into civil custody. The District Attorney ot ihe United States, for the district of Virginia, where Mr. Davis si aids indicted tor treason, has been not died that the prisoner would bo surrendered to the United 8tntos marshal upon a oupio* under the indiotment, but the District Attorney declines to have the capias issued, because there is no other place within the district where the prisoner could be kept, or where his per sonal comfort aud health could be so well provided fir. No application has heeu made within my knowledge by the Uuun- --tl for Mr. Davis for a transfer of the prisoner to civil custody. Recently an aidfeeatioa was made by his Counsel tor lito Utoi -ter from Fortress Monroe to Fort LiX^||tc, on theground chiefly of Ran it..i% Agisideratiou*. A reference was proui^tly made to a board of surgeons w h sc teport was decidedly adverse to ebuiigo-pB the score of health and person-1 al comragt. I am unable to see what iuither'tcuon can be taken on partof the Eioculuto to bring the prisonor to trial. Mr. Davit must tor the present remain where he is until the court which has the jurisdiction to try him shall bo ready to net, or until his custody is demanded under lawful process of the Federal courts. The Attorney-General suggests that to avoid any misunderstanding on the subject an order should be issued to tho CommnndanC of Fortress Monroe to surrender the prisoner to civil custody whenever demanded by the United State* Marshal, it non process from the Federal Courts. Mr. Star.bury enclose* a letter of the IT. 8. District Attorney for Vir. ginia, who states in answer to the que* tion why no demand had been made upon the military authuritms for the surrender of Jefferson Davis jit order that he might be tried upon the indictment found against him in the U. 8. Circuit Court at tho term held at Norfolk in May last, for two reasons bad influenced him in not removing him from their custody.— He says the one relates to the s lie-keep ing, the other to his own pur® aal com fort and health I have never had any doubt but that he would he delivered to the U. 8 Mar*hal of the District when ever he should have demanded him on a capias or any other civil process.

We are not so sure that 'his compliment was deserved. Reports hare, from time to time, reached our cars of atrocious seta, that ought to hare been, though they were not, brought to the attention of this Court, the reason being, as we believe, that there prevails iu the minds of our people, a melancholy impression, that in these disjointed times, it is both useless and dangerous to seek, by legal means, to punish offenders of any description We wish very much that we could by before our readers with accuracy snd w* erUnso, the very able, instructive aud in teresting charge to tbe Grand Jury, tq which we have alluded.

The Judgmntd that where a white man was charged with the murder of.a uegrJp would, perhaps, re quire a eomewhatlns degree of provoca tion thin is usually necessary to justify, the jury in reducing the charge to man slaughter. There are, doubtless, those who will take offence at this, but we can not think that any fair>tniuded man, on reflection, will esteem it other than the utterance of sound common tense, and in perfect accord with the true spirit of the law. Habits and prejudices, that have grown with the growth, cannot bo surren dered in a moment, and cannot, without injustice, le disregarded. The Grand Jury found a true bill against Solomon, accused of the murder of Keith; but as he is still i»t iu vrntHi,'’ there waa of course no trhl. True bill* were also found in two indict ments for burglary, the accused being persons of color. These people, pleading poverty and declaring theueelves unable to employ counsel, the Court assigned them counsel; and all present will admit that they wore defended with a xeal ns great as most liberal fees could have pur chased. In the first case, the jury found Nathan Garner guilty ot larceny, and in the second case, Julius Feigoraou, Wes ley William* and George Chambers, guilty of the offence charged, burglary, but recommended for mercy. A ques tion Laving been raised as to the jurisdic tion of the Court over these cases, and notice ha\ ing been given of motions in arrest of judgment, no sentence was pass ad, and the cinw will go up to tbe Appeal Court. These Asases give rise to tho interesting question, whether, under the present constitution of the State, tho Superior Courts have jurisdiction in eases in which persons of color are parties. During the trial of these cx^es much of a ludicrous character occurred. It was impossible not to he amused at tho very natural awkwardness and simplicity of the negro witnr .-scs. The value of negro testimony was, as a matter of course, fully illustrated. It is no light matter for a jury to be compelled to over-ride the posi tive testimony off a witness in order to arrive at a satisfactory verdict; hut, it is evident, that in cases into which negro testim my enters, this thing will be of almost constant occurrence. General Gilc, of the Freedmcn’s Bu reau, was iu attcadauoc upon the Court, during the greater part of the time it was in session. It added no little to tho novelty of tbe occasion, that there shenld he proeent a military officer, author ised by the Grrernmeut of the United States, to watch t|ie proceedings of the Court of • Sonrtign Bute.

Her h-ad vrw severed from her body and cru.-hod i.o pieces, the brain being spattered in every direction, and was cut info and ground almoet to atoms. One arm fell to the lower floor, the other being thrown five foet away from the maeniuery, and fragments of blood and hones and foams were strewn everywhere.—Richmond Enquirer. Washington, October 12.—The se verest rain storm which has visited this section for many years is still prevailing, hiving continued for over fifty hours, and bidding fair to last until to-morrow. 'Ihe destruction of property along the r ver, creek aud canal fronts, though not so great as on yesterday, is still quite large. A portion of the ehy, through which the Tiber creek flows, is submerged, and people have been taken from their houses in rowboats. The bridges for miles along Rock creek have been carried awayi together with mill dams and houses, situated immediately on its banks. The Potomac is rising rapidily, aud said te be higher than for thirty jears. Tho greater portion of the Washington and Alexandria Railroad is submerged, and train® have ceiiscd ruaning. Over three hundred .Southern passengers wero here this morning weather bound. In the city sewers have bursted up, heaving the pavements aud fining the cellars with water. Bladensburg, five miles from Washington, is entirely submerged and generally abandoned by its inhabitants. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com pany, by keeping a force of employees along their tracks, have saved their bridges, and kept up regular communica tion with the North and West. In Georgetown the loss of property has been largo, and in the surrounding country the ungathered crops have been swept from the face of the earth.

The Radical triumphs which are else where imported with surprise noae but tbatolaqs of wonderfully sanguine South ern man who during the darkest days -of the late civil war, were always predicting foreign intervention and miraculous dit- peasatiuas for our salvation. It may ver- safely be predieted that the nest Coo grees will be store intensely radical that tbe present. Tbe elect ions on Tuesday leave uo doubt that iu the Titaotto con- teat bet we** the Executive and Legisla tive departmeata of th* government that Congress will he the victor in sH of the Northern Stetee. And we thmk that fnll election returns will demonstrate that where the enoasies of the President have been most Radius! there their viotories have been the moat complete. In the present temper of the Radical party, we cannot entertain a doubt that Coagre»s will clamorously demand the impeachmet of the President, mainly for the purpose of replacing him temporarily with a Senator of extreme Hadical views. The article* of impeachment,as fbrauhad- owed by Butter, are too absurd and triv ial to deserve a moment’s oonaidaration, but thej will answer vary well th* tem porary purpose of th* unprincipled Con grcsaional conspirator*. _ The result of tbe late aleotioos demonstrate that tbe President is powerless to enforce his pol icy. For the rest of his term th* Veto power will he wielded in vela against the overwhelming Radios! majority in Con gress, and that Conner rati ve feature ef our organic law is tiow. as valueless ass protection for an outraged minority, aa “a broken break*' is to atop the down hill progress oft seech. Congress is now omnipotent, and can, by the ingenious dice of Coastuutioual amendments, bid defiauc* even to the Judicial dopartnrant of the Government. There is much profitless speculation with refcrouce to the popular condemna tion of the President's policy upon his future course. As he has been through life, invariably the reflex ot the will of the people, nud believes in their infsli- bility, many fear that he will succumb to the avalanche of Radicalism wbeh is sweeping with such resistless power over the Northern States, and advise the South era States to accept the “Csugreoeioael amendment,” as the best terms which the uneeeerou* vietors are willing to grant to the vanquished. Others, bowevar, who are familiar with his indomitable will, believe that he will remain firm a gran ite cliff snd resist the atonr, of Radical violence to ths lest, braving impeachment rather than surrender to the senseless clamors of tbe Northern mob. W< are not equal to the solution of this problem although the autoeedcuts of the Presi dent as a <*people’s mas” lead us to ap prehend some modification of his often a- vowed plan of reconstruction. The out side pleasure upon him, since the elect- tious, will b« very great, aud eapeuially fr >m Cnuocrvatives of the typ* of Weed and Raymond and probably such war Democrats aa Dix of New York. The fate of the South, so far as speedy representation is Congress is concerned, has been sealed by the result of the late elections. The fickle shallow'aind un thinking people, who accumulated a debt of three thousand millions of dollars and sacrificed half a million of lives to restore the Union are now it steim£ overwhel mingly in favor of continuing indefinite ly the very state of things to prevent which they fought for four years. Congress being omnipotent, our condi tion is that of prisoners of war upon pa role. The doctrine that our rights hare b.-ea forfwited meets the approval of the North, and the triumph of the Radi cal® stamp* the Northern peopla as the least magnanimous and most uafor giving people of modern times. They are tfiU at war with ■« disarmed people, who are honestly striving to obey laws in the making of which they have no voice. Without representation in Coag r ess to defend our intcreats, and mother resort to arms bring out of the question, we have nothing l*lt but to endure the ma lignity, insults and outrages of a gigau ticand merciless depotism with dignity and manliness.
