MONTGOMERY, December 4.-The Senate to-day passed a bill making tho wearing of disguises and masks by any number of mon a orimo, pun? ishable by flue and imprisonment. RICHMOND, December 4.-In tho United States Circuit Court, to-day, Chief Justice Chase presiding, the .motion to quash proceedings against Jefferson Davis was discussed. R. H. Dana, for Government, opened this morning. He proceeded to ?how that thc fourteenth amendment-pleaded in bar of pnnishment by defendant wiri iinfc ft penal statute, but was morely a change in the political sys? tem, adopted to seenre trustworthi? ness in office and personal purity iu the administration of tho Govern? ment. It was a measure of precaution, to secure the country against filling offices with persons who onco before filled them and broko their oaths. If it had been intended to inflict punish? ment, it would have been the utmost folly of legislation, seeing that it would, if viewed as the defendant's counsel viewed it, lighton the pun? ishment of the leaders, who had held office and broken their oaths; it would leave the people, who never held office, exposed to tho penalties of death and imprisonment, os de? nounced in the Constitution, before tho adoption of tho amendment. It was an expression only of the public will of tho fitness of persons, who engaged in rebellion, after breaking their oaths, to hold office again. It was not intended, as alleged by the defence, to act as an amnesty, nor was there a singlo word uttered in the Congress that formed nor the Legis? latures that adopted it, to warrant such a construction. So far from that, it was intended as a test, by which these men may be reachod und guarded against, who had proved unfaithful to their pledges to the Government It contd not be plead in bar of conviction for treason, seeing that it applied to tho^e only who had, after taking the oath of office, engaged in insurrection and rebellion agaiust the Government. No-trea? son is something more than engag? ing in insurrection and rebellion; it is waging war against the Govern? ment; and of this the defendant stands charged. It would bo strange indeed if Jefferson Davis could, as he might, under this plea, come to the bar, and acknowledging that he was guilty of treason,??deny the lia? bility to be punished, because of the fourteenth amendment.
