Tile Trial or Mr. Davis.
. Tho New York World cites that
provision of tho Constitution,-which
declares that in all criminal prosecu?
tions, the accused shall enjoy the
right to a speedy and public trial : and
thc pledge of Judgo Underwood, in
tho name of Chief Justice Chase,
that Mr. Davis should bc tried in
October; and takes occasion to con?
demn in most docided language the
delay so long continued. In its
article, the promptness of thc proceed?
ings in the case of Burr, is contrast?
ed with thc conduct of Judges Under?
wood and Chase. Burr having
escaped from custody, after his first
arrest in January, 1807, was after?
wards re-arrested and immediately
taken to Richmond, where ho ar?
rived on thc evening of the ?JGth of
March. |On the 30th, he was brought
before Chief Justice Marshall, exa?
mined and committed. Ile was
then admitted to bail, to await the
action of the grand jury, at the next
term of the Circuit Court, on the
22d May. On the 24th of June, thc
grand jury, of which thc celebrated
John Randolph was foreman, brought
in a bill of indictment for treason; tc
which Burr pleaded not guilty, and
tho trial was postponed to the 3(1
August-a delay that was needed foi
the proper preparation of the ease.
Thus prompt was that distinguished
Chief Justice to discharge his con?
stitutional obligation, to give the per
son charged with treason "a speedy
and public trial."
The World adds, that in a case lik<
this of Mr. Davis, delay in tho tria'
is a denial of justice. Imprisonmen
protracted beyond necessity is pun
ishment; and if it ends the days o
the prisoner, it is tho punishment o
death. Punishment may properb
follow the sentence, if Mr. Davis i
convicted; but punishment previou
to trial, is injustice.
We do not think, in thc history o
this or any other country, will b
found a parallel caso to this long ant
needless imprisonment of a feebl
man; who, when tried, if he ghoul
linger out his existence until tba
time, will possibly bo acquitted c
the crime with which he 'is charged
Thc Gold-Gambling Telegram.
Friday's papers, from New York
give accounts of the intense excite
ment pervading monetary circles i
that and other Northern cities, fror
the receipt of a despatc?i announciu
that President Johnson Lad submit
ted to thc Attorney-General certaii
queries respecting the constitution
ality of the present rump Congress
and that probably the Attorney-Ger.
oral would decide against Congres;
Gold run up two or three per cent
and Wall street was knocked out t
all propriety.
For the life of us, wc cannot sc
why all this hubbub. If tho Pres
dent has doubts concerning the cor
stitutionality of Congress, as now OJ
gauized, we presume the cours
reported to have been taken was th
usual method of obtaining legal ii
formation upon which to base his ai
tion. The Attorney-General is h
constitutional law adverser, and, as i
the recent correspondence in relatic
to thc case of Jefferson Davis, 1
would be perfectly justifiable- in appl;
ing for proper information. But
is not probable that the Preside!
would seek to still further keep u
tho political excitement which, fi
tho past few weeks, has swept ov
the Northern States, lie has pr
nonnced much of the legislation
the present Congress uncoEsLitution;
but he may not be prepared to tc
the qualifications of the body its?
just now. From his past course, \
are inclined to hope that the rig
man will be in thc right place, ar
at tho right time.

POLITICS IN THE PULPIT.-The N<
York Hendd, of Monday, has, araoi
its other sensations, a report of t
"sermons" of the previous day int
principal Protestant churches. T
heading to its report tells a story tl:
no comment could enforce, when 1
remember the scene, the day and t
actors. Read:
"The Protestant Churches. I
Cheever on Reconstruction. Ce
stitutional Amendment Denounce
Rev. Dr. Spear on National AlTai
The Constitutional Amendment t
Ultimatum of the North."
Very apropos there follows: "I
Smyth on the Vices of the Clergy. '
Tlic Future of Uadirallim.
Tho Richmond Times thus dis?
courses ou tho future of radicalism
and its bitter end:
There is no more melancholy sign
of the decadence of our republican
virtues than that tierce intolerance
which characterizes the revolutionary
faction of the North. Inspired with
diabolical hate and fury, it can brook
no difference of opinion, however
pure and honest, and, d?liant in its
truculence, it would set at defiance
all the laws of God and man. As well
might we reason with mad bulls and
wild beasts; as efficient would appeals
of justice and mercy bc, if addressed
to granite walls and adamantine
rocks, as to the political fiends now
riding the popular storm of passion
and excitement. Like ravenous
wolves, tired by thc taste and smell
of blood, neither tho shouts of tho
hunters nor the baying of thc dogs
can drive them from their prey. ' As
long as there remains a bone of the
carcass of American liberty, to be
picked and gnawed, these wolves,
vultures and hyenas will continuo at
their disgusting work, and our coun?
try will only lind repose when her
epitaph shall have been written. Like
a huge anaconda or boa-constrictor,
radicalism has wound its cold and
scaly form around tho Constitution,
and now, with fiery breath and enve?
nomed fang, it both strikes and
crushes the prostrate form of free?
dom.
Tho Jacobinical spirit which nov,
surges throughout the North sets al
naught the warnings of the past, thc
voices of the present, and the pro
mises of thc future. Does the Con
stitutiou of the country stand in its
way? It is at once tomahawked witt
an amendment, and scalped by ;
"joint resolution of Congress" or "re
port" from its central directory. Dc
the precepts of Holy Writ, tho truth;
of the eternal Word of God, stand ii
the path of the fanatic host? They
too, are impiously swept away lik<
cob-webs, and in the estimation o
the radicals, there are none now s<
foul, treacherous and vile as those
who stand by their country and thei
God, like tho old-time patriots am
Christians?
When bad men have successful!
combined for wicked and unholy pur
poses; when a baud of thieves is ope
rating, in whose councils unanimit
prevails for a time, tho communit;
I suffering from their lawless and felo
uious acts have but one hope fo
safety when tho law is impotent fo
protection. It is this: that when th
rogues have gathered and accumn
lated their plunder, they will ulti
mately quarrel over the distribuido:
of their ill-gotten gains. The probn
bility that all organized thieves an
robbers will ultimately cut cac
other's throat is a reileciion whit
inspires us with hope, and cause
our minds to be possessed with pr
tience, even while wc sigh and groa
at tho calamities, present and prc
spective, which threaten our destruc
taon. The strong arm and vigilanc
I of the law often cements and prc
serves by its action organization r
war with society, by its very efforl
to destroy them. The pressure c
justice and the clangers of dissensioi:
and divisions in their conclaves, frc
qucntly unite villains and make thei
keep the peace for their common sc
curity. Rut let all pursuit and oppc
sition be removed, let crime and vic
lenee run wild and unchecked, an
these unhallowed agents of perditio
fall upon and destroy ono anothe
and, like a nest of writhing viper
perish from the mutual venom of r<
ciprocal stings.
These considerations encourage i
in the belief that the vile and inf:
mons party, now wrecking our dost
nies, will never be so near destrn
tion as when it has hurled from i
course ali opposition and resistant'
It will then perish from the seeds <
decay which it has ever borne in i
polluted bosom, and, iii its despera
j frenzy, it will become suicidal in i
action. As soon as this unscrupuloi
party no longer feels tho restrain
which its conservative adversan
have; put upon it, it will become f
riously centrifugal, and go spinnii
down to ruin. As soon as its ga
bitterness and poison cannot bc p
upon others, it will die from excess
virus, as snakes and mad-dogs d
and will perish miserably from tl
extent and magnitude of its own ct
ruption. .

INDICTMENT FOU TKEASON QUASHI
The indictment for treason against
P. Bullet in the United States t
cuit Court, at Louisv'ilL\ Ky., \
cputshed on the 13th, tho Unil
States attorney entering a nolle />r
Thc Truth.
A correspondent of tho New Haven
Register writes ns follows:
The Southern country is in au aw?
ful condition. It must bo seen to bo
believed-the corn crop, their princi?
pal article of food, having failed this
season on account of the drought. It
is expected starvation must take place
in some sections before next spring.
Corn is now selling for S2.30 per
bushel, and bacon ai twenty-five
bents per pound. God knows the
radicals need not wish tuc Southern
people to suffer more than they aro
suffering. If they -were barbarians
they could not treat them worse than
they wish to.
The negroes have no hesitation in
saying they were better off as slaves
than now. It is evident to a candid
mind they have never bceu worked
very hard, from tho fact that since
their freedom they have rented lands
from their former owners, and have
eaten, during the time they have been
raising their crops, more than they
have raised altogether. This docs
not leave a very wide margin for
them to live on from harvest to har?
vest, and yet .they claim to have
worked a "heap" harder than cvei
before. They nave no conception in
managing for themselves.
They deserve compassion. They
have been robbed from good homes,
foran idea, to wander like vagabonds
broadcast through thc country tr
starve. This same gentleman-Dr.
Tate-in conversation, remarked, witl
all thc warmth of a parent, "Vt na'
can we do for our poor negroes? Wc
are unable to assist them, having los
all ; and yet wo would willingly share
with them rather than have them suf
fer, but wo have nothing left to divide
-they must starve."
This is really their condition. Whcr
the war closed, the darkies got it ii
their heads they could not be frei
unless they left their old homes
under the impression given them lr
these Abolition demagogues. Tin
novelty of freedom has passed-tin
reality stares them in tho face. Hi
has no one to feed, clothe and giv
him any little notion he may fancy
as formerly. They begin tb realiz
fully their condition, a hungry ste
mach being a faithful monitor, and a
soon as they need anything, they pa
back to their old masters, begging fo
shelter and something to eat. Thc;
cannot refuse them, so they la;
around their old homes until thei
former owners are compelled, fo
their own protection, to tell them t
go away._
SENATOR JOHN SHERMAN EXPLAINS
In his late speech at Cincinnati
Senator Sherman said of thc const:
tutional amendment:
"If it is rejected-if, by the trci
chery of the man whom we elected t
power, the Southern people are finall
led to reject that constitutional am?ne
ment-then let us place our supei
structure on the rock of eternal trutl
j where all the powers of hell shall nc
shake it. [Applause.] They ask yo
how you will do it. I say we will te
them how when the time come:
[Great applause. J The day has ne
gono by, and I believe tho solem
judgment and determination of til
American people will bc, that if thei
is no other way to deal with this poe
plc, that we will take the most rael
cal doctrine that the wildest mau i
the country can think of and adop
[great applause,] rather than to sn
render again to this rebellious peop
power, not only over negro populi
tion, but power over ourselves."
Wo presume this sentiment ncce
no explanation. Tho plan referee
to is Brownlow's. Everybody knov
what that is. Tho* only consolatio
will be that men so atrociously wicke
have not power equal to malice.

Anderson in repairing this instit

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton a
nounces herself in tho New York p

provided it advocates negro suffraj
and asks support on the high groin

All apprehension of Fenian raids
has been dispelled in the minds of
tho Canadians, and the Homo Go?
vernment has been notified that no
more troops are needed. Tho To?
ronto city authorities state that the
English Government intends demand?
ing a suppression of the Fenian or?
ganization by thc Administration, or
they threaten to aid thc copperheads
in dividing the Union with a few
Armstrong guns. A member of the
Canadian Cabinet stated that the
troops sent there from Eugland were
intended for more serious contingen?
cies than those presented by Fenian
raids. ,
A mechanic named Emory, at
Albany, New York, has invented a
new cotton gin, whose merits aro
that it is portable. It is provided j
with a condenser, and can be worked '
as well in open air as in a house. A
larger per cent, of wool is obtained
from the seed and the length of the I
fabric wonderfully preserved. The
value of the staple to the manufac?
turer is enhanced from three to five
cents per ponnd.

It has been decided by the Acting
Comptroller of the Currency that
mutilated notes must bo redeemed I
by. the redemption agencies of the
national banks at thc commercial
centres so long as no reasonable
doubt exists as to the identity of thc
notes presented. When the natos are
so badly mutilated as make the value
or identity difficult to determine, thc
case should bc referred to the bank
by which they were issued.
For thc first time since 1860, the
receipts from the work of the con?
victs in the Massachusetts State Pri?
son have more than paid the ex?
penses of the institution. The hea?
viest earnings in the prison were
during tho last quarter, when they
amounted to ?27,000. The earnings
for the quarter immediately preced?
ing were 822,000. There aro now
548 prisoners in the institution.
COUNTERFEIT MONEY.-We caution
our readers against receiving nates of
the denomination of 850, 820 and
810, on the National Bank of Indi?
ana, at Indianapolis, and fractional
currency of the fifty-cent denomina?
tion. They aro very freely circulated
in this community, and the police
are earnestly inquiring for thc mo?
ney-makers and distributors.

THE FRENCH ARMY.-Napoleon is
at present engaged in re-organizing
his army, the chief change being au
extension of the term of service from
seven to ten years-six to be passed
in active service and four in the re?
serves. The army, when re-organ?
ized, will contain more than 900,000
men.
WHAT WAS LOST BY STRIKES.-In a
recent speech, Lord Grey said that
during tho "strike" in the blast fur?
naces of England, the sum of ?50,
000 in wages was lost, and that
amongst those connected with the
rolling mills, who are still on a strike,
about ?10,000 in wages has already
been lost.
The nichester Eridge, on the Bal?
timore and Ohio Railroad, thirteen
miles from Baltimore, which is a
stone one, gave way during the re?
cent heavy floods before the tremen?
dous volume of water. This was con?
sidered thc strongest bridge on the
road, and had successfully resisted all
former Hoods.
Rev. Edward II. Hudson, a well
known Methodist minister at Pal?
myra, III., eloped last week with a
widow named McCullough. The
woman left three children behind.
Hudson took two of his children
with him, leaving his wife and a child
in his desolate homo.
The Carroll (Miss.) Record, of the
30th ult., says: "We have no crops.
The worms havo eaten np the leaves,
.forms and IMJIIS, andi havo now com?
menced on thc stalks. In another
week, if they continue as they have
been doing, they will devour the
crop, root and branch."
Of tho durability of timber in a
wet state, the piles of the bridge
built by the Emperor Trajan over the
Danube afford a striking example.
Ono of these piles was taken up and
found to be petrified to tho depth of
three-quarters of an inch, but the
rest of tho wood was perfect.
Gen. Beauregard and Maj. Harry
Gilmor, of rebel fame, are in Wash?
ington city, the guests of W. WT. Cor?
coran, thc banking prince. They
have been trying to obtain interviews
with the President, but so far have
not succeeded.
A Federal soldier, who stole a watch
from Mr. Samuel Cline, about the
time of the Port Republic fight, has
returned it by express, with a letter
stating that his conscience compelled
him to return it!
So long ago as 18G0, thc whole
mass of lava ejected from Mount
?Etna was twenty times greater than
the mountain itself. It had destroyed
77,000 persons.
j The greatest elevation yet attained
by man, without leaving tho surface
in a balloon, is 19,000 feet. M. Rous
siugault and Colonel Hall ascended
Chimborazo to that height.
