ed that the Court wan divided on '.he mo

ing. The Utter has been notorious for bio
partisan radical zeal, and, it may be supposed,
could hardly be free from prejudice,
where the rights of aucb men as Jurttsox
Davie are concerned.
The grounds on which ths motion to
quash the Indictment was made is a new
one in tkft history of ths case, and has
taken the oountry with some surprise ; it is
this; Mr. O'Co.vnob, and the other counsel
for Davis, urged that the fourteenth ainead**
ment of the Constitution having been
adopted, which affiroi a punishment on
Mr. Davis and others of disfranchisement,
for engaging in the late war against the
United States, neither he or others can
now be tried and punished over again in a
different and additional manoer by the
eouria of the United States; the Copslitiktion
and Bill of Rights prohibiting all men
front being twice punished for the same offence
; and thai the Fourteenth Amend'
inent was " a Constitutional provision, and
fhnee whe fell under it were now suffering
punishment." The question is to be settled
by the Supreme Coart, and in the meantime
the ease of Mr. Davis is oontinued to
Ihe Mey Term. We infer, judging from the
difference in the two naen, Cwash end UananwooD,
as well aa on the merits of the
ease, that the Supreme Court will sustain
the Opinion of Chief Jusliee Chask, and
that the indictment will be quashed. In
such event, there will be a final end to all

all the fund* of their estate* which were
