Trt?U of Mr. Davitt.
The following article from the Na?
tional Intelligencer will he rea?I with
interest, as it is generally understood
that paper is in the confidence of the
President:
The recent references to the trial
of Mr. Davis have called public at?
tention to this subject, which very
naturally in a largo ?.legree interests
the public mind. The indictment,
in tho usual form for treason, has
been fourni by tho Grand Jury in thc
United States Circuit Court, nt Nor
folk. Mr. Davis is indicted undei
the Act of 1790, under which tho pe
nalty, on conviction, is death. II?
could have boon indicted under th?
Act of July 31, 1801, for a seditioui
conspiracy, tho punishment of whicl
is a fine, not over ?5,000, and impri
sonment, with or without bani labor
not over six years. Ono of tho mos
important points is thc drawing o
tho petit jury who aro charged witl
thc trial of the prisoner. The j ur;
is to be drawti according to lot o
otherwise, according to the mod
practiced in tho State for select?v
juries for tho highest courts of law
Tho number of jurors to bo summon
eil is left to tho discretion of tho Corni
as at common law. Tho Act of Jul
10, 1862, repeals so much of tho Ai
of 1789 as requires in cases puuisl
able with death that twelve pct
jurors bo summoned from thc Count
where tho offene?! was committe?
Under the Act of Jun?? 17, 1802, n
person is allowed to sit on the jiu
who was in any degree of complicit
with the rebellion. This is an Act?
controlling importance, because
insures that the trial shall be before
loyal jury. Mr. Davis cannot I
tried by any ?>f his confederates, li
fate will rest entirely with his polit
cal opponents. The jury must I
unanimous, or the MI bono ve
diet. This is the able rule
tho common law, ami has exist?
time whereof tho memory of nu
runneth not to the contrary. Tl
presiding judge can rule authorit
lively on ?jucstious of evidence
they may ?.rise in tho progress <<f tl
trial; but aa the jury always, in ci
minal cases, return a general verdi
of guilty or not guilty, they are pm
tically the judges of the law a-s w
as the fact, and there is no app?
frtnn their decision. There has nev
boon any exception to this piiucij
iu the common law, except that
cases ?d libel it had frequently bo
determined by tho Court of Ki nj
Bench that thc only question for t
consideration of tho jury in cri ni ii
prosecutions for libel was tho fact
publication ami tho truth of thc ii
euiloes, and that tho Court alone w
competent to determine whether t
subject of tho publication was or v
not a libel. And it was for this rilli
of Lord Mansfield that the celeb
tedJuniusso bitterly attacked L<
Mansfield. Lord Camden, tho frie
of liberty, differed from Lord Ma:
fiohl, and the matter was finally {
to rest by the memorable A?*t of 1'
liauient 32, George ill, known
Mr. Fox's Act, which determined 1
law against Lord Mansfield's jiu
ment, by expressly recognizing I
right of tho jury to determine I
facts and law of tho cast* by a go
ral verdict of guilty or not guilty.
The trial can only end in one
three ways: 1. By verdict of gui]
2. By verdict of not guilty. 3.
the inability of the jury to agree.
In the event of this third alter
tive, the first quotion which A
arise is, whether Mr. Davis will
entitled t?> bail. Tho Constitut
provides that "in all criminal pr?
entions thc accused shall enjoy
right to a speedy and public tri:
lu determining whether Mr. Da
after more than a year's close im
sonment, would be entitled, in
event of the disagreement of
j jury, to be discharged on bail, wc
bo a question of legal discretion
be determined by the judge. By
celebrated habeas corpus Act of
Charles IT, it was provided, si:
; "that every person committed
treason or felony, shall, if ho i\.q
it, the first week of the next term
j the first ?lay of tho next sessioi
Oyor and Terminer, be indictee
that term or session, <>r else admi
I to bail, unless tho King's witne
cannot be produced; and if not
dicteil and tried in tho second t
or session, ho shall be dischai
from his imprisonment for such
puted offence."
It is not likely our judges w<
take a less favorable view of the
soner's application than in Un?
furnished by this statute. The
ons ?piestion would be, how n
terms of tho court have passed s
the prisoner was ?irst arrested?
counsel would in all probability
tomi that, by intendment of
I United States courts were hoi
I their regular terms for the last tv
months in the State ?d' Yirgini;
' at least might have, done so. A
thor provision of tho Constiti:
might, perhaps, also, in tho even
a disagreement of tho jury, b
yoked in behalf of tho prisoner
on? which sets forth as follows: '
shall any person be subject, foi
sam?' offence, to he twi<*o put in
purdy of life or limb." Tho mea
of this rule is, that a dtdendaiit
legal jeopardy tho moment a
jury is charged with the docisic
his case. But, though there
been som?! difference of opinio
tho point, it may ' assumed
when the jury ar?- arged
the further and final . tsion <>
case, because of their inabili
agree, the prisoner may bc brid
tried anew. At ono timo in England,
where the jury could not agree on a
capital case, the judge, instead of
discharging them at tho end of tho
term, had them carted around the
circuit with him. This practico, how?
ever, is exploded. In case, then, of
tho inability of the jury to agree,
tho utmost tho prisoner could ask,
from that fact alone, would bo thc j
right to ho out of prison on bail.
The subjoined pithy paragraph is
from tho New York Herald:
Every day wc have some fresh I
rumor about the trial of Jori*. Davis, I
and thc public aro beginning to weary
of the subject. If Congress would
only pass a resolution to open his
prison doors and let him go whither?
soever ho would, thc people would bo
perfectly satisfied. All idea of vin?
dictiveness is absurd as well as unpo- j
pi?ar. Iiis caso has been settled by |
tho result of thc rebellion; and the I
time has gone by when this great
nation should wreak its vengeance
upou a political criminal. Eet the
Government, then, treat Jell*. Davis)
as my Unelo Toby treated thc Hy -
open tho door of Fortress Monroe I
and let him go forth. Surely the I
world is largo enough for Jeff. Davis :
and thc United States.
Noell, I'niolluu.
Tho following is tho Governor's
message to tho State Convention of
North Carolina, now assembled in,
extra session :
< iKNTIilCMKN OL' THU CONVENTION I.
Since your adjournment last October, ?
nothing bas como to my knowledge!
touching our position in reference to '
tho Federal Government which is not '
matter of public history. At ymir \
previous session, you made thc re-j
epiisite amendments to thc Constitu?
tion nud passed tho ordinances be- ;
lievedtobe necessary to a complete
reconciliation with the United States
and our restoration to national fra- '
teruity. Although our people, with
remarkable unanimity, Melded their j
assent to your action, and wore ready,
without any exception within my
knowledge, to acknowledge their al
legiancoto tho United States and to
! obey the laws and Constitution there- ;
of, we have been grievously disap?
pointed by tho rejection of our mom
hors from tho Congress of 'ho indi, n.
I This rejection has not heel laced on
j the ground of any irre;-;;, . ri ty in
their election or qvialitication. NV"! ile
Congress recognizes thc exist?
I tho State Government to thc elle? r,
j incorporating into tho Constitu?.
; of the United States our amendments
thereof, they continue to govern and ;
to levy taxes without allowing us any
participation in making the laws <.;?
imposing tho national taxes. Con
gross has been sitting for some five |
months, without providing any terms ,
on which it is proposed to recognize |
our admission. Wo have elected men .
whom we believe to ho as loyal as any ]
men in tho United States, every ono I
of whom labored to preserve the
Union until hostilities had actually i
commenced, and ever;, ono of them ?
has renewed, or is ready to renew,
his oath of fidelity to the Govern?
ment of tho United States. Whotln r
any one of them could conscientious?
ly swear that ho never aided or sym- I
pathized with tho rebellion, I do not
know. If no mendier can bo received
from the States lately in rebellion
1 without taking the Congressional test
j oath, it will amount to practical dis?
franchisement. lt was presumed,
when you adjourned iu Oct.'lier last,
that by this time tho Union would
I have been fully restored, or that Cou
? gross would have defined its policy of
; restoration. Neither event has oc?
curred Neither the President nor
Congress has yet ina.lo known nn\
further requirements. 1 l ave no in?
formation which warran vs mo in
making any suggestions to you as to
any further action which you may
properly take tending to produce the
desired harmony between ns: so. act
I as to retain our self-n. peet and give
to our late enemies no just grounds
for tho continuance of ill-will against
tis. National prosperity cannot bo
! restored until reconciliation and con?
cord shall bc re-established. If bit
tern ess is tobe continued, let all <>f
I us strive to co-operate with tho Pre?
sident in his patriotic plans, and re?
frain from giving any just excuse ?.>r
thc continuance of such feeling, and
1 hope the ?lay is not far distant when
tho Northern people will become
satisfied that their distrust ol' us is
unfounded, and that thc religion wo
! profess, as well ?us public policy, de
I marni mutual forgiveness and recon?
ciliation. I herewith enclose a com?
munication from tho public Tr. a
I surer,suggesting certain amendments
j to the revenue Acts of tho last Gone
; ral Assembly. I commend his recom?
mendation to your favorable coled
deration. lu consequence of the
order of the President of tho I'nited
States relieving tho Provisional Go
vernor, 1 entered upon the discharge
of my duties as Civil Governor, in
conformity with your ordinance, <.u
the'JStii day of December la !. I had
to encounter some irregularities,
growing ont of the transition; but
I with the universal de-ire ol' tho poo
plo to restore order, no serious t li tl t -
? cullies have presented themselves I'M
putting into action tho machinen . i
civil Government in the State. In
my oflieial correspondence and inter?
course with the executive officers ol'
the I'nited States and with P.rcvel
Maj. (?en. Unger, the military coin
mandant of this State, all have rx
hibited a uniform disposition to avoid
; unnecessary pu rin s in tho discharge
of our respective duties, ?iud a readi?
ness to co-operate with mo in every?
thing tending to restore the cordial
reconciliation between tho lately bel?
ligerent sections of our country. I
learn from Gen. Buger, lo whom the
President of the United States has
lately assigned the chief supervision
of thc Freedmen's Bureau in this
Siate, that he would gladly give to
tho civil courts of tho State full juris?
diction in all matters relating to
freedmen, but that ho feels embar?
rassed in doing so consistently v>-ith
his instructions, on account of cer?
tain provisions and conflicting con?
structions of the Act of the (h uerai
Assembly, passed at its late session,
entitled "An Act concerning negroes,
persons of color or of mixed blood,"
&C. His difficulties are understood
to grow out of the ninth and eleventh
sections ol' the Act. As it is very
desirable that thc civil courts shall
mete out uniform justice OJ all, white,
and blue!,, according to law, and that
all cause of dissatisfaction as to con?
flict of jurisdiction should bo avoid?
ed, I recommend thc subject to your
consideration. My relations to your
body, as I conceive, do not warrant
mo in submitting any recommenda?
tion whatever in reference to thc
scope of your action. Uenoo I had
not intended, until your call of yester?
day, to submit any message windover.
Having the fullest confidence in y??ui
wisdom, I could m.! obtrude my
view , or wi bes. May (bul gui?hj
your councils to results beneficial lc
our uuhappv eountvv.

Tl tis is true enough, but money

TEXAS.-A correspondent of tl**
Christ ian Observer says:
"The npring meeting of the Pres?
bytery of Central Texas was hold on
March 29. An account of its pro?
ceedings was received just as we were
going to press. Our readers will l>?
glad to hear from their tran s-Missis?
sippi brethren, and to know that they
stand firmly with tho General A?
8embly which met in Macon, Geor?
gia. An attempt which was made to
carry the Presbytery over to the
Northern Assembly was a signal fail?
ure, receiving only the support of the
two men who brought it up, one of
whom immediately took a dismission
to join a Presbytery in loir?."
The last dressing for the hair ia the ..
"Stephens Pomade." It is a head
scenter.
