MONTGOMERY, December 4.-The

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. Mr. O'Con?
nor followed Dana.
